Chapter 226: The Feast (1)
The drums are beating and the sound is earth-shattering.
Ou Honeysuckle was helped close to the sedan chair, and the handkerchief sent by Chu Lechun was proudly on top of her head.
Mrs. Ou watched her daughter leave her step by step, her nose was sore, and tears were uncontrollable in her eyes.
"Dong'er, Dong'er..."
The owner of Ou Zhuang gently hugged Mrs. Ou: "Don't be sad, Dong'er will live well in the Xiao family." ”
Mrs. Ou cried even more fiercely: "Over the years, I have always put Dong'er by Qing'er's side, originally to restrain her temperament. But after so many years, Dong'er's temperament has not changed at all. But I didn't have so much time to spend with Dong'er for so many years..."
The more Mrs. Ou spoke, the more she felt aggrieved, and she cried even more.
The owner of Ou Zhuang was helpless, and after watching the big red sedan chair gradually go away, he took Mrs. Ou back to Qinyuan and comforted her with all his might.
When Mrs. Ou finally recovered her mind, the owner of Ou Zhuang took Mrs. Ou to Xiao's mansion, and they were going to drink Xiao Xun and Dong'er's tea today!
Ou Shiqiu returned to his courtyard and stayed for a while, he finally couldn't calm down, and he also raised his feet and went to Xiao Mansion.
In front of the Xiao Mansion, the lights are colorful.
The big red flower cloth hangs all over every corner of the Xiao Mansion.
The sedan chair has not yet arrived, and many guests have already arrived.
Xiao Xun went to Oufu to greet his relatives, and General Xiao and Xiao Jue were in front of Xiaofu at this time to greet the guests who came to participate in the wedding banquet.
Xuanyuan Hao and Chu Yueqing also came to Xiao Mansion early. Xiao Xiangzi and Mo Zhi Molian held the congratulatory gifts in their hands, and just waited for the prince and princess to greet the old general Xiao Shao, and then handed over the things to the little guy guarding the door.
In terms of seniority, Chu Yueqing's mother is the sister of General Xiao, and she should call General Xiao an uncle.
But for some reason, in the seventeen years in Chu Yueqing's memory. There was no appearance of this old general Xiao at all. She probably knows the reason: her sister-in-law is in the prime of her youth, but she dies...
In this way, I don't like to see her.
Chu Yueqing sighed lightly: Anyway, she is not Yueqing, and this is not her uncle...
Thinking like this, Chu Yueqing and Xuanyuan Hao walked to the gate of Xiao Mansion.
Xuanyuan Hao smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Old General Xiao." ”
"King Hao's Palace." Old General Xiao arched his hand.
Xiao Jue also bowed his hand after him.
Chu Yueqing followed behind Xuanyuan Hao and nodded with a smile. looked at Old General Xiao and Xiao Jue.
Yes. With Xuanyuan Hao by her side, she just needed to stand quietly beside him.
He is like a towering tree, protecting her from its branches and leaves. Don't worry about the wind and rain, and don't be afraid of the scorching sun.
After the greetings, Old General Xiao unconsciously looked at Chu Yueqing, but saw a faint and detached smile on her face. I couldn't stop sighing in my heart: He, his niece, is becoming more and more like her sister~
The relationship between Xuanyuan Hao and Xiao Jue is good. When they were young, they practiced literature and martial arts together. Later, Xiao Jue married Xuanyuan Hao's mother's sister, and the two became even closer.
Although Xuanyuan Hao was ill in the middle, Xiao Jue led his troops to Nanling to fight, causing less and less communication between the two. But the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and when they meet in court, they have the same ideas. The former friendship between the two was instantly rekindled.
"The five princes should wait in the hall first, and Xiao Xun will go to pick up his relatives. I'm afraid it will take some time to arrive. ”
Xuanyuan Hao nodded and led Chu Yueqing into the hall.
There were already a lot of guests in the room, most of them were General Xiao's subordinates or colleagues in the army. Although Xuanyuan Hao was not wearing court clothes, several sharp-eyed officials recognized him and got up to salute Xuanyuan Hao.
Xuanyuan Hao stood with his hands in his hands: "Everyone, today is a day of great joy, regardless of the monarch and ministers, just feel free." ”
Several officials who had already stood up nodded yes and sat down again.
But with Xuanyuan Hao here, the people in the room were a lot more restrained, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became calm.
Chu Yueqing looked around, and said to Xuanyuan Hao: "Why don't we go out for a walk." ”
When Xuanyuan Hao heard this, he looked down at her and said gently: "Want to go out and have a look?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Yueqing nodded, "I haven't seen what a wedding looks like?" ”
"Then let's get out."
……
Xuanyuan Hao and Chu Yueqing walked away hand in hand, and the people in the room were dumbfounded.
"Didn't you say that King Hao and his princess had a bad relationship? Why do I see how tightly King Hao loves his princess? ”
"I look at it too. That Mingwen County Lord...? ”
"Hey, this Lord of Mingwen is also a pitiful." A bloated man interjected: "I heard that Lord Mingwen and King Hao had a private marriage when they were young, but they didn't say it on the surface. ”
An official in a green shirt said: "But this Mingwen County Lord has long passed the age of marriage, if she wants to marry King Hao, why do she have to wait until now?" Isn't it, I hated King Hao back then..."
"No, isn't it" The bloated man interjected again, "The mother of the county lord of Mingwen, isn't it gone for three years?" It is estimated that he has to keep filial piety for three years, so he failed to become a parent. ”
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
The Tsing Yi officials felt that it was wrong, if they really wanted to discuss marriage, the lord of Mingwen and the queen could marry the five princes at that time, so why wait until they were seventeen years old?
If you don't wait until you are seventeen years old, how can you have three years of filial piety?
But if not, why is the lord of Mingwen already in his twenties, and he is still in the boudoir?
The Tsing Yi official was confused, and knew that the royal affairs were not something he could investigate, so he did it. Sit there and wait for the wedding feast to begin.
The bloated man saw that no one answered him anymore, and he also closed his mouth in a daze.
At this time, Xuanyuan Hao had already taken Chu Yueqing to the gate of Xiao Mansion.
In the distance, there was a sparse sound of suona, festive and joyful.
The greeting party is coming back.
The little guy standing at the gate of the mansion quickly climbed the ladder and hung two strings of artillery on both sides of the doorpost. Then they came in a hurry, one of them took the ladder, and the other took a stick of incense, ready to light the cannonball.
After a while, the greeting team turned into the road in front of the Xiao Mansion.
"The greeting team is here, the greeting team is back!" A little guy ran over panting. After shouting at the door, he ran into the hall and said to the guests who had already taken their seats: "Everyone, the welcoming team is back!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy hall master suddenly fell silent. A moment later, a crowd of people poured out of the gate of the Xiao Mansion like sea water. But in the blink of an eye, only a few old and serious elders were still sitting in the hall.
The little guy secretly forgot about those few people, and said in his heart: "If the legs and feet are sharp, I'm afraid they will all run out." ”
The wedding banquet is already lively, not to mention that most of the guests are the subordinates of General Xiao, when they see Xiao Xun getting married, it is like seeing their own family members become relatives, and they naturally want to send their blessings as soon as possible.
When they arrived at the gate, the procession to greet their relatives was less than ten zhang away from Xiao Mansion. (To be continued.) )
