Chapter 156: The Great Wedding (I)
Qu Wanying was followed by two servants, five big and three thick, carrying a gift box in their hands... It looks more like a thin-skinned coffin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bah, what are you thinking, Qinglan moistened her lips, Wanying couldn't have brought her set of baby chimes, right?
After Qu Wanying entered the door, she first greeted everyone for a while, and then said hello to Pan Erniang and Qinglan, "I wish you and His Royal Highness King Duan a hundred years of harmony, Qin Se and Ming." With that, he lifted the lid of the box.
Hiss –
When he boarded, a rough snort sounded in the room.
There is a pair of pianos lying quietly in the box, to be precise, one piano and one seer, which is Wanying's work that lasted five years and worked hard, and it has no price.
Once the crown prince and King Yu both wanted to pay a high price for these two pianos, even if one of them was good, Wanying simply refused.
Now, these two pianos appeared in front of Qinglan "unexpectedly", like a celebrity who has spanned a hundred years, chic and arrogant, and uninhibited.
"Knock~"
The timbre is like water and a bell, and the fingertips brushing the strings like an electric shock.
Qinglan couldn't help but step forward and fiddle with it, and praised it repeatedly: "Good piano, good piano." ”
Qu Wanying was relieved, after all, she had played this piano before, and it was not a new object.
"Tut-tut-tut..."Yuan Jin finally withdrew her gaze from the piano, and couldn't help but slander in her heart: You and Thirteen are really blind, just your two brushes... But after thinking about it again, except in the hands of everyone like Wanying, everyone is blind.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a lot more relieved.
"Mr. Qu actually took out such a treasure to add makeup, and I and other laymen can't reach it~!"
Mrs. Zhang laughed loudly, while holding her daughter Zhang Qiaoqiao, and stepped into the door of the living room happily.
After a round of greetings, the ladies watched around the piano, and those who understood and didn't understand were full of praise. The scene instantly became eerie, and Qinglan felt that the scene in front of her was a bit similar to some kind of pagan ritual.
Seeing that everyone had stepped forward to see it, Qinglan asked Mama Shen to put the piano away. It's just that before people have time to close the lid of the box, they listen to a female voice like a clear spring: "Sister Shu, don't be busy, tell us to open our eyes~"
As soon as Qinglan looked up, she recognized the person, it was Lu Wanhua, the third lady of the Lu family, followed by a plump young woman, who was already under the porch when she spoke.
"This is my mother." Lu San smiled and introduced the woman beside him to everyone, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was not bad.
Qinglan knew that this lady was not Lu San's biological mother, but her stepmother, Lu Gong's third wife, Cui.
There are three young ladies in the Lu family, Lu Da and Lu Er were both born to Lu Gong's wife, and Lu San was the daughter of the first stepfamily. And two years after Lu San's mother died, this Cui family only entered the door.
Speaking of which, this Cui family is also a blessed one, as soon as he entered the door, he gave birth to the eldest son of the Lu family, and today is probably the first time to attend such a public occasion, so he seems a little unable to let go.
After Lu San presented the makeup gift, Pan Yuanniang led the female dependents of the Pan family to retreat and return to the flower hall. Aunt Shu paused, and then left, leaving only the Yang family and a few other junior daughters-in-law to help in the living room.
As soon as Aunt Shu left, the Qin family also hurriedly followed, although she was selfishly reluctant to leave, but she didn't want to make outsiders laugh, especially in front of dignitaries. After all, she is Pan Erniang's concubine, and standing with the juniors, it seems too abrupt.
After they left, the temperature in the living room dropped sharply, and Qinglan secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Following Lu San, Miss Cen Cen Mujun and Qi Lu also came.
Compared with Qi Lu, Qinglan admires Cen Mujun more, this girl has a hearty temperament, is generous and tolerant, and can be used as a housewife.
Qinglan also discussed with the righteous old marquis, and heard that this Miss Cen had a marriage contract before, but the other party did not live to the day of marriage, so she dragged such a woman with good conditions to her old age.
More than half of the officials and wives who came later, Qinglan didn't know them. But such ladies are extremely shrewd, and they always talk with the adults of my family, and the adults of my family.
Qinglan just came over, this is the wife of so-and-so, that is the daughter of so-and-so, and so on.
Then came a lot of wealthy merchants' wives or proud servants of the lord's family, Wuyang Wuyang, and the living room was overcrowded for a while.
I remember someone who once made the analogy that a woman's voice is equal to three ducks, thirty... Sixty... Ninety... Qinglan suddenly felt that she had fallen into a flock of ducks.
Looking at the people coming and going in Yongcheng Courtyard, Aunt Shu couldn't tell what it was like, and there were many familiar names in her ears, which her husband couldn't rely on in every possible way, but as a result, people were shy and flattering her niece here.
What are you proud of, the royal is so enterprising? There will always be a time when you cry! Aunt Shu thought indignantly, and drank all the hot tea in the glass cup in one go.
The glass cup still has the residual temperature of the tea, Aunt Shu turned the cup in her hand, you should use the bowl to drink tea, what kind of glass cup to use, it's really angry!
The ladies of the Pan family on the side gathered in a heap, discussing what was happening, from Qinglan's wedding dress to makeup, they couldn't take care of Aunt Shu and the Qin family at all.
The former sat not far from the door, hanging his neck, counting the heads of the guests and the value of the gifts; The latter was full of smiles and listened to the conversation of the ladies of the Pan family with envy.
Speaking of excitement, the Qin family also wanted to interject a sentence, but there were many daughters in the Pan family, and she couldn't get involved.
Seeing the sun rising higher and higher outside, Qinglan secretly wondered, Thirteen said that he had a surprise for himself, what was it?
"Madam," Mama Zhuang jumped in front of Pan Erniang as if she was guessing Hot Wheels, and she was sweating in a hot sweat on the October day. At this moment, she didn't care about wiping her sweat, and gasped heavily: "Madam, Miss, the holy decree has arrived." ”
******
The host was going to the front to receive the holy decree, and the guests were not easy to take it, so they sat in the living room and waited, so a group of women and young ladies "advanced" to the front yard.
Arrived with the holy decree, as well as the two dowries that Emperor Jingtai rewarded Qinglan, both of which were the emperor's private treasury.
Qinglan received the holy decree and knelt down to thank the emperor for his three shouts, and everyone knelt on the ground in an uproar, and Aunt Shu pulled the corners of her mouth unwillingly.
The official of the Ministry of Rites seemed to want to sell it in front of Qinglan, and after reading the holy decree, he said a gorgeous congratulatory message, which was carefully prepared when he heard it.
"Thank you, sir~!"
Shu Lao Er smiled and handed over a red envelope, and the ceremonial officer gently pinched it, knowing that it contained a silver ticket, and the smile on his face became even more real.
"Master Shu, let me and others also see the holy treasures~"
"Sister Shu, let us be happy~!"
At the instigation of everyone, Qinglan personally opened the dowry box given by the emperor.
Ho!!
The crowd immediately stirred, oh my God~!
Even the ceremonial officials who thought they had seen a lot of the world stared, this, this is too... Too!!
It's too luxurious, it's too shining, and in the glittering sunlight, the light reflected in the box pierces Qinglan's eyes.
She'd seen it in pictures before, and it was in the British Museum.
The solid color of mud tire gold glazed porcelain looks like soft gold from a distance, and it looks smooth and flawless up close, and it can shine a human shadow! There is more than one, everything from dishes to spoons and chopsticks, and a big box full of them!
The forehead is a god~
This is no matter how rich you can't buy the baby, I heard that this kind of porcelain all Dashun only one porcelain kiln can be fired, the production rate is very low, it can be described as one in ten thousand, a few years to make up a set, the best of the best, belongs to the emperor's private property, only for the emperor alone!
Qinglan finally knew the so-called "surprise" in the thirteen mouths, and it was really extraordinary.
With "Zhuyu" in front, everyone is looking forward to another box of rewards.
Qinglan took a deep breath and turned to approach the second box.
Ha!
Ha ha!!
Hahaha!!
Those who know me, thirteen are also !!
A box of fire systems and fire bombs with different specifications is the latest model that Zhu Yuanfang has recently researched, and there is no one!
If it weren't in full view of everyone at this time, Qinglan would definitely pounce on it frantically, hugging the fire system and kissing non-stop, the best fire system in Dashun——!!!
Everyone was stunned when they saw it, and then looked at Qinglan's happy eyes, what else did they not understand? So a new round of praise came and went, like a game, for fear that the other party would talk about himself.
Qing Lan rubbed against the fire, selectively blocking out all sounds.
Aunt Shu couldn't squeeze into the front row, and arched in a little anxiously. Before she could arch in, she heard the people report that the reward of the concubine had arrived at the corner of the street.
Aunt Shu was stunned for a second before she reacted, Guifei Niangniang, is her niece's mother-in-law? Hey, it's going to be your old Li family soon, why are you wasting this good thing?!
The reward of the noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the gate of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion with their feet in front of their feet, and the Qin family looked at the two vermilion boxes, almost without drooling, the royal family is really rich, and the dowry is given in boxes and boxes!
Now that the emperor's rewards have been read, the concubine and His Royal Highness the prince are not bad, and they opened the cage together.
Qinglan was dizzy again, and the concubine Niangniang rewarded a set of eighty-eight pieces of gold heads, and there were several layers of phoenixes, which were said to be the relics of the queen mother of the immortals.
Aunt Shu's palms were about to burst, so she restrained the urge to rush forward and take a bite to try the truth.
Pan Erniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the concubine Niangniang is still satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much more affordable, stuffed with a box full of cage furs, and the top is a Siberian tiger, lying in the groove, is this a Northeast black bear? I heard that this guy is a divine beast of the Aixin Jueluo family.
Divine beasts... Qinglan touched it, and her palms were itchy and prickly.
Taking advantage of this effort, the righteous old marquis simply put out more than 200 dowries of Qinglan, and the first ninety-nine were the dowry of His Royal Highness King Duan.
"Why ninety-nine?"
People's dowry is an even number, in pairs, a hundred is not good? After a hundred years of good cooperation, Emperor Jingtai thought that the Internal Affairs Office could still get a hundred dowry.
"Ninety-nine, it's good to want to last a long time." A hundred years is enough, I want to be with Qingqing for the rest of my life.
The first is a gold ingot, nine catties and nine taels, Qin's is staggering, she has never seen such a big gold lump in her life!
Originally, it was supposed to be three catties and three taels, and the scattered silver nude of ordinary people's families was replaced by eight official ingots for the wealthier ones, and only the big families or noble families would be melted into a gold ingot.
Thirteen felt that three catties and three taels were too light, and directly melted nine catties and nine taels, and thought that the gap in the box was too big, so he simply covered his head with gold bricks.
Alas~ rich and capricious!
However, Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang were very happy to see each other, one because of the importance that Thirteen attaches to their daughters; Second, after getting married, these gold will be Qinglan's private property.
This is only an ingots chest, and there is a box of gold bricks for the bride money, and what is even more exaggerated is that the thirteen generals have also made the cake into pure gold.
The head of the Internal Affairs Office looked for Emperor Jingtai to report the account, and Emperor Jingtai didn't look at it and asked Gonggong Shi to take someone to get the silver, and he was so shocked that the head of the Internal Affairs Office opened his mouth like a toad, and the emperor always picked... Thrifty, you don't pay a penny more in the palace on weekdays!
Qinglan likes Shu brocade, so she collected five or six boxes of dowry, and the dowry filled twenty boxes of clothes alone, not counting the materials and furs. The female dependents were most interested in jewelry and materials, especially Aunt Shu, the Qin family and their daughter-in-law, who looked around the cage and turned dizzy.
"Miss," as soon as Shu Chang entered the door, the first thing he saw was Qinglan, he walked with a happy face, and he was quite fast, and he came to everyone in a blink of an eye, looking excited. "Master Hou, little Master Hou is back!"
Qinglan's gaze swept over Cen Mujun and drifted into the distance, and in her ears she remembered the words that the third grandfather had repeated to herself countless times in the past few months: "No matter what this time, even if you tie up, you have to tie Xin'er to get married!" ”
Just thinking about it, Pan Zexin walked in strode in with a meteor in military uniform.
Looking at the increasingly strong apple face in front of her, Qinglan felt that it was better to "outwit" this time.
******
Also coming back with Pan Zexin were Qin San and Ming Ran Mingzhuang, and when the brothers and sisters saw Aunt Shu and Boss Shu, they were sad and didn't mention it.
As soon as noon arrived, the dowry went out, and the Shu family sent someone to Duanwang's Mansion to "make a bed", and Pan Erniang couldn't wait to follow together.
"Mother, what are you looking for me?" In private, Qinglan still spoke her hometown dialect to Pan Erniang.
"Mother told you a few things, you must do it well, did you hear?!" Pan Erniang's tone was extremely serious.
Qinglan nodded obediently, "Huh! ”
"This first thing, when you enter the gate of the palace tomorrow, I arranged for Mama Shen to put something at the door, you must step over from above, remember, ask the prince to step over with you."
"Brazier?"
"No, you don't care what it is, remember!"
"Okay, good..."Recently, the family has been busy with her marriage, and her mother is angry, and Qinglan doesn't dare to mess with her old man.
"The second case, you put the underwear you wore tomorrow under the pillow..."Seeing that the girl was about to open her mouth to refute, Pan Erniang immediately grabbed Qinglan's hand tightly, "Obedient!" Mother, this is for your good! ”
Qinglan had no choice but to continue to nod.
"Not only yours, but also the prince's must be put under his own pillow."
Qinglan pouted, he just wanted to put it under my pillow, and I didn't want to let it.
"Do you remember? Be sure to let the prince do it! ”
"Good, good..."
It's just, the panties, I'm still wearing them... Qinglan smiled bitterly, mother, how can you be sure that your daughter can convince others?!
"And then?" Qinglan asked weakly, did she keep pressing under the pillow and never see the day? That's not going to be rancid...
"Give it back to me when you get back."
(⊙ o ⊙)......
Mother, what do you want me to do with my underwear? Or is it worn!!
