Chapter 244: Marriage
The sedan chair swayed for a long time before reaching the county lord's mansion. In fact, Xiao Chen's family and the county lord's mansion are very close, so they have to walk for so long, all because Chen Wenhui's dowry is too much, in order to be able to put these dowries, the greeting team had to go around in a big circle, even so, when Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi entered the mansion, they carried the dowry all the way, and the last one has not yet left the gate of Xiao Chen's house.
People all over the capital are looking at this luxurious dowry team with envy, and they can't help but be amazed, this is even more beautiful than when the princess got married. Even, there are people from other provinces who made a special trip to the capital to see the excitement, Chen Wenhui's wedding, which has made the people of Dachu talk about it for decades.
Outside, the entire capital was cheering and celebrating this wedding, but there was a lot of discussion in the county lord's mansion. According to the customs of Da Chu, the people present in the county lord's mansion on this day are all relatives and friends of the man, so the Zhao family, as well as the nobles of Da Chu, the generals and family members in the army are mainly here.
The county lord's mansion was lenient and divided into three roads, but today, on such a happy day, although the entire mansion was decorated with lights, there were guards on the right and left, and no one was allowed to enter. Originally, according to Chen Wenhui's meaning, the door had to be locked and it would be over. However, the Bai clan said that the door could not be locked on the day of the big day, so the door of the county lord's mansion was open everywhere, but there were guards everywhere. These guards were all wearing armor and weapons, and their faces were expressionless, and the people of the Zhao family wanted to go to the left and right sides several times to watch, but they were refused, and all of them were gathered in the front yard to wait. Can't even get into the backyard.
Especially the main house where the bride and groom are about to move in, where it is beautiful, the house is tall and the facilities are luxurious, but unfortunately, it is also guarded, and none of these people can take a step beyond the thunder pool. This can be understood by most guests, after all, in such a big scene, the increasing caution of large families is actually a kind of rigorous governance. Many of the guests were already whispering praises. Chen Wenhui's ability to manage the family is also so good, and the management of a mansion is orderly and orderly. However, some people were not happy.
In the county lord's mansion. Zhao Yufei is with a Zhao clan girl. Her cousin Zhao Yusi angrily sued Mrs. Zhao together.
Zhao Yufei said: "Mother. You see what kind of rule this is, we can't find a place to rest when we're tired, we can only be in the guest room. I heard that the courtyards on the left and right sides are beautiful and distinctive, why can't we find a place to rest? Sister Yusi and I tried to go to the courtyard on the left, but we were stopped by the fierce guards. Is this still my second brother's mansion? β
Mrs. Zhao is also angry, originally, she is the mother-in-law of the male owner of this mansion, the mother-in-law of the hostess, and has a noble status, but, in fact, she is just one of the ordinary guests, in this mansion, not to mention her servant, even she herself can't move around at will, this is nothing, the key is that she has something in her heart, and she wants to make some trouble for Chen Wenhui on this wedding night, but unfortunately, looking at the strict defense of this mansion, it is difficult to be satisfied.
Mrs. Zhao said to the old Zhongyi Gong with a pale face: "Grandpa Guo, do you think this is like a word? We are in our own son's mansion, and we even have to look at people's faces when we go in and out. Yu Fei and the others are in their brother's mansion, but they are still not allowed to enter? β
But the old loyal and righteous prince didn't care at all and said, "Is this your son's mansion?" This is the mansion of the county lord of Wenhui, it is the county lord's mansion, didn't you see the plaque hanging at the door? β
The plaque at the entrance reads County Lord's Mansion. Originally, the prince was going to give a word, but unfortunately he didn't choose a good name, so he could only make a plaque for the county lord's mansion to hang first. The plaque only said the county lord's mansion, not the Zhongyi Mansion, and the word Zhao was not mentioned.
Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said forcefully: "Isn't Lord Wen Hui also our daughter-in-law?" Am I not her mother-in-law? Yufei, Yusi, aren't they her sisters-in-law? Is this how she respects her elders and treats her sister-in-law kindly? β
Lao Zhongyi glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Don't we have a place to sit?" Running out of places to rest? Don't have a good tea to drink, no delicious snacks to eat? Isn't there anyone to entertain the guests in Manchuria? What else do you have to find fault with? It's a good thing that this is a rigorous family, and when I see this, I feel relieved. What else is there to be picky about? Who are we? Can it be someone who walks around casually? There are also Yufei and Yusi, the two of you are girls, don't say that you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, you always go around, are you a beautiful girl? Not shy, what rules? β
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhao was angry, Zhao Yufei pouted, but Zhao Yusi was frightened. Although she is Zhao Yufei's cousin, her father is only the cousin of Lao Zhongyigong, and the blood relationship is not very close. Moreover, the Zhao family relies on the old man to live a loyal and righteous life. Before Lao Zhongyi made a fortune, they were all rich people in the countryside, or simply poor people.
Later, the official position of the old Zhongyi Gong became bigger and bigger, and he was willing to promote the clansmen in his hometown, and gradually some of the clansmen defected to the capital, and lived in a few streets near the Zhongyi Mansion in the capital, relying on the power of the Zhongyi Mansion in the capital, there were those who studied, some did business, some bought real estate, farmed the local owners, or guarded the shop to eat shop rent, and there were also a few who were successful in studying, got a small official position, and some became talented and raised people, and some followed the martial arts, have been in the army for many years, and mixed up the official position. Although the people of the Zhao family have everything, the biggest official now is only a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, which cannot be compared with the old Zhongyi family. Therefore, they still rely on the clan elders to mix with the loyal and righteous princes, and they are all attached to the loyal and righteous princes. Take the lead of the loyal and righteous stallion.
These people all relied on the Zhongyi Mansion to gain a foothold in the capital. Among them is Yusi's father, he is doing business in the capital, if it weren't for the face of the Zhongyi Mansion, how could he survive in the capital? So he is more attentive, on weekdays, he is the most stammering to the patriarch's wife, Mrs. Zhao, his daughter Yusi is still beautiful, and she is also well-behaved, and she often goes into the house to accompany Yufei, relying on this relationship, Mrs. Zhao treats their family better.
However, no matter how well Mrs. Zhao treated them, they also understood that this mansion did not rely on Mrs. Zhao to make a fortune, and the actual person in power in this mansion was Lao Zhongyigong. Although Lao Zhongyi has been fighting abroad all the year round, his words are still true in front of the clansmen.
Zhao Yusi originally followed Zhao Yufei in order to curry favor with Zhao Yufei. She also knew that Zhao Yufei didn't want to visit the county lord's mansion, although this mansion was beautiful, Zhao Yufei was a person who had even been to the palace several times, so where would she care about it. She doesn't look down on this future county lord's sister-in-law, and she is determined to find fault.
Zhao Yusile helped Zhao Yufei, after all, this thing was done, Zhao Yufei had to give her some things, no matter how they had to be some palace flowers, or small pieces of jewelry or something. can still please Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yufei, why not?
However, now that this thing has not been done, he was scolded by the old Zhongyi Gong first, which is more than worth the loss. She was very frightened, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Zhao Yufei looked at Zhao Yusi's retreat, and was angry, so she could only be angry and go back to her position, when she was bored, suddenly there was a commotion from the front door, and at this time, someone came to report that the newcomer had entered the door.
Everyone was in a state of shock and busy following the ritual. Zhao Chongyi came in, dressed in red, with a golden flower on his head, looking magnificent. At the other end of the red ribbon he was holding was Chen Wenhui wearing a red hijab on her head, looking very beautiful in a golden-red dress.
The newlyweds began to prepare to bow and prostrate. Mrs. Zhao has already made up her mind that later, the newcomer must bow down to her parents. When she kneels to her parents, she doesn't nod or say anything, so that the person who sings the salute will not be able to continue, and when the time comes, she will grind for a while and let Chen Wenhui kneel for a while, so that she can also torture Chen Wenhui a little, give her a dismount, and let the guests in the hall see that she is not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Presumably, Chen Wenhui will become a laughing stock.
The idea was very good, but before the ceremony took place, and as soon as the bride and groom had set their feet, the decree was pronounced in the front yard, and when the decree arrived, not only the bridegroom, the bride, but also all the guests had to kneel in the courtyard to receive the decree. Originally, Chen Wenhui was covered with a red hijab. According to the etiquette of Da Chu, when the holy decree arrives, it cannot be received with a hijab. All, Zhao Chongyi took the gold title of pure gold and lifted Chen Wenhui's red hijab.
Chen Wenhui was suddenly stimulated by the light in front of her, and when she came back after a while, she saw the extremely handsome Zhao Chongyi smiling without looking at him, looking stupid. There is also Mrs. Zhao's unhappy face on the side, the satisfied face of the old loyal and righteous father, and Zhao Yufei's jealous, envious and hateful face. Of course, Zhao Yufei didn't stop at her face, but kept looking at her crown full of brilliant gems.
Also, the room full of guests was talking and shocked by her beauty.
Zhao Chongyi's mood at the moment was already excited, and he didn't know what to do. Although he has always felt that his Wen Hui is a beauty, he has never thought about how Wen Hui is so beautiful today?
The thick makeup makes Chen Wenhui more glamorous, more luxurious, and more elegant than usual. And the slender body, under the backdrop of such a golden-red dress, so beautiful and shining. Not to mention the black pressed hair full of jewels, which is simply light.
Zhao Chongyi only felt that he was about to get drunk before he had even drunk. (To be continued......)
