Chapter 130: Meet again at the wedding banquet
Because Sun Mansion is a famous family in Jiangning Mansion, the wedding of Sun Jidong's eldest grandson Sun Tong is particularly grand. The female family is also the eldest daughter of the Cui family, who is slightly famous in Jiangning Mansion, and the wedding banquet organized by the two families has caused a sensation in the entire Jiangning Mansion, especially the presence of the prefect of Jiangning Mansion, which has pushed the festive atmosphere of marriage to the peak.
Xiao Yiran sat at a table with his mother Sun, accompanied by the prefect's wife, and the families of other officials of the government. The grandmother and three aunts were arranged to accompany the family of the woman's guests. What Xiao Yiran didn't expect was that Lin Chen and his mother Lin also came with Mrs. Wang. The intelligence of the two children has gradually spread in the circle. Therefore, Xiao Yiran and Lin Chen became the protagonists at the banquet.
In addition to the Lin family and the Sun family, almost every female dependents find a topic to talk to Xiao Yiran and Lin Chen. Some asked the ages of the two, some asked what books they read, what they usually liked, and so on. Although no one has picked it out, it is obvious that they all have the intention of marrying their two children. After all, such a smart child is really rare. Xiao Yiran is still second, after all, she is a girl, no matter how many books she reads, she will not be able to get ahead. Lin Chen, on the other hand, if he continued to learn like this, he would not be in his pocket. Therefore, those female dependents who have daughters at home and are similar in age to Lin Chen all show their concern for Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's only flaw is that he comes from a humble background. However, there is the backer of the prefect Wang, although he is not the grandson of his relatives, after all, he is the maiden grandson of Mrs. Wang, and the grandson of the prefect and his wife will inevitably not succeed in the future. In that case, isn't he also the son of an official eunuch?
Since Lin Chen didn't like to speak, he asked and answered, but just sat in a proper manner. Everyone began to compliment Mrs. Wang and the Lin family.
"Mrs. Wang is really a good couple, and with such a good grandson, she will definitely have a bright future in the future."
"The child is still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
When he said this, his tone was full of smugness.
"Madame, don't say that, as the saying goes, look at the seedlings at the age of three, the little boy is young, he has already read four books, and it is not as simple as exploring the bag to get the Jinshi in the future?"
"Mrs. Li's words are simple, is it so easy to take the test? I didn't see my master, I only passed the exam in my forties, how many sins I suffered. ”
"Mrs. Wang, people have a career sooner or later, it's impossible to say."
The one who has been talking to the prefect's wife is Mrs. Li Dianshi, the prefect's yamen. Mrs. Jia Ti next to her interjected at this time:
"Mrs. Wang, if I'm not mistaken, Madame and Lord Wang are both from Huazhou, right?"
"Mrs. Jia remembers well, she is from Xiabang."
"If I'm not mistaken, Bai Letian is also a native of Huazhou, and there is a generation of famous ministers and a generation of famous generals Zhang Renyuan. From this point of view, Huazhou is a place of outstanding individuals. Who can say for sure that there will not be another famous Lin Chen in the future? ”
Mrs. Jia's words made all the ladies present laugh. Only Lin was a little embarrassed. Although he knew in his heart that everyone was currying favor with his aunt, if such a big word spread, I am afraid that it would not be a good thing for his son.
"Mrs. Jia must not say this outside, today we will just say it as a joke to make everyone laugh. Otherwise, it won't do the child any good. ”
Mrs. Wang solemnly reminded everyone. Mrs. Jia also seemed to realize that what she said was a little excessive, and hurriedly said:
"Mrs. Wang, sister of the Lin family, don't blame me, I'm abrupt."
While the adults were chatting, the two children were constantly observing each other. Xiao Yiran was still speculating whether Lin Chen would be a person with memories of his previous life like himself. If so, from which era? Thinking about it, Xiao Yiran raised his right hand and quietly made an OK gesture to Lin Chen, seeing that in the other party's eyes, except for unexplained doubts, there was not even a trace of surprise, Xiao Yiran could conclude that even if the other party was a person with memories of his previous life, he was definitely not from the same era as himself. As for the distant Paleolithic, it is even more unlikely. Because, at that time, it was impossible to have a memory of the Four Books and the Five Classics.
Thinking of the Paleolithic Age, Xiao Yiran couldn't help but miss his five children and those men again, and his mood suddenly became bad. For a moment, he lowered his head in pain. Xiao Yiran's expression changed, and Lin Chen saw it in his eyes, thinking that it was caused by his failure to understand the other party's gestures. immediately got down from his seat, came to Xiao Yiran's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Xiao Yiran's arms and said:
"Sister Yiran, let's go out and play, shall we?"
Regarding Lin Chen's sudden move, except for Mrs. Wang who looked at it with a look of relief, the rest of the people, including the Lin family and the Sun family, all showed a trace of surprise.
Xiao Yiran didn't want his mother Sun to see his unpleasantness, nodded at Lin Chen, and said to his mother Sun:
"Mother, Brother Lin Chen and I are going to see the bride."
"Go ahead, take care of Little Master Lin. Also, then, the bride is your cousin and daughter-in-law, don't forget your seniority and make jokes. ”
"Haha, sister of the Sun family, don't tell me. I have heard of the customs of Jiangning Mansion, and there are no big or small newlyweds for three days, regardless of generation. Chen'er, just mess with your sister. ”
Xiao Yiran was very unaccustomed to being held by Lin Chen, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he broke free.
"Is Brother Lin Chen also from Xiabang?"
"yes. My sister also knows about Habang County? ”
"I know a little bit, I occasionally read Tang poems, and when I read Bai Letian's poems, I paid attention. I just don't know who Zhang Renyuan is. ”
"Zhang Renyuan is also a native of Xiabang, Wu Zetian entered the office, Zhongzong worshiped as a general, has been resisting the Xiongnu in the north, is a generation of famous generals. Later, he returned to worship the prime minister, and he was also a famous minister. Zhang Renyuan has been a martial artist all his life, and he is the most famous person in our lower state. Its fame is still above Bai Lotte. ”
"Brother Lin Chen's knowledge is really extensive, and he admires it."
"Where, just because I am a fellow villager and grew up listening to their stories, I naturally know more."
"Shall we go see the bride?"
"Okay."
Xiao Yiran still wants to know about the marriage customs of this period, after all, as long as there are no more accidents, one day, he will also get married.
With Xiao Yiran's identity in the Sun family, naturally someone will come to serve, and lead the two children to the new house in the East Cross Courtyard. At this time, the bride was still covered with a red hijab, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, sitting upright on the edge of the bed, not saying anything. There were a lot of people who served next to him, including maids and old mothers. Some are from the Sun family, and some are the bride's dowry.
Since the guests were all at the banquet, there were not many guests who came to watch the bride.
"My cousin is here, please come in and sit down."
Xiao Yiran is Sun Ling, the daughter of the eldest cousin Sun Qian's family.
"Ling'er, this is Lin Gongzi of the prefect's family."
"Lin Gongzi is good."
Sun Ling gave Lin Chen another salute, and then wanted to command the maid to serve tea to the two, but was stopped by Xiao Yiran.
"Cousin, Lin Gongzi, our custom here, on the wedding day, the bride can't speak. Therefore, I can't give a gift to my cousin and Lin Gongzi. ”
Xiao Yiran was very unimpressed with such a custom, and the two just sat down for a while and went back.
