Chapter 199: Expectation

Therefore, due south is not the main house that you would normally find in a courtyard, but a six-step platform fifty steps square, surrounded by a blue jade railing carved with a hundred flowers.

On the east and west sides, there is a viewing platform, and the door and partition wall are all carved mahogany partitions.

If you encounter such a big occasion, the folded carvings will be folded, and the partitions between the houses will be removed, and it will be an unobstructed and wide hall, and the biggest advantage is that the view is wide, and all the guests can see clearly what is happening on the platform no matter what angle they are in.

At present, there are five long mahogany carved tables on each side of the east and west, and behind them are carved wreath chairs of the same material and pattern, covered with soft brocade cushions, which are specially prepared for the elderly with high moral integrity.

Behind is a row of official hat chairs, between the two chairs placed a square table, at this time, all the official hat chairs are covered with new chair covers that bloom in all seasons, and Fang Zhuo is also neatly placed with exquisite almost.

Removing all the partitions, the east and west compartments are really not a little wide, and if you calculate it roughly, it will not look crowded to accommodate one or two hundred people.

Cui Wanqing, who was originally in her own room, was already sitting in the ear room of Huaiyuan Courtyard in the company of her sisters and friends.

She was wearing a simple silk cloth short gown and trousers, and the gown pants were inlaid with vermilion brocade edges, which made Cui Wanqing look a little innocent and romantic.

Her long jet-black hair was neatly combed over her shoulders like the most gorgeous black brocade. Whoever looks at it, I have to praise it, what a pure and beautiful little beauty.

Cui Wanqing's side, in addition to the praiser Meng Yuele who got her wish, it was Cao Tang, who pestered Cui Wanqing and refused to sit down, while Zheng Xiuer, Liu Yunjing and other friends who had made good friends with her were already sitting outside.

Meng Yuele, who was a compliment for the first time, seemed very nervous, more serious than Cui Wanqing. And be at a loss.

She wouldn't have been able to take care of some time ago. How did you compete with Cao Tang for the limelight, pulling Cao Tang to ask from time to time, do you see if the clothes are around?

Can the hairpin still be upright? Is the skirt at the back crooked?

When did Cao Tang see such a terrified Meng Yuele?

Suddenly, I felt that being a liker wasn't necessarily an easy thing to do. And I didn't do this liker. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

She didn't know what bad things came to mind. Suddenly, he said to Meng Yuele: "Le'er, you have to be steady in a while, and you must serve the tray well." Don't let you get too nervous and end up knocking over the tray, it's a big joke! ”

"Huh?!" Meng Yuele, who was already nervous enough, was even more frightened for a while when she heard this, holding Cao Tang's hand trembling a little, and asked in a trembling voice: "Tang'er, you say this, have you ever seen someone's praiser who accidentally knocked over the tray?" ”

Cao Tang shook his head, and said with palpitations: "No, I suddenly thought just now, if I become a praiser today, I'm afraid I will be even more nervous than you, and my hands and feet will be weak, so don't you have to drop the tray?" ”

Cui Wanqing smiled dumbly, "Okay, Tang'er, don't scare Le'er anymore, look at her, her face is so ugly with rouge." ”

"Le'er, don't be afraid, I've always been by your side, as well as my aunt and sister-in-law, they are all people you know, don't say that there is no mistake in the first place, even if there is a problem, they will help you make up for it as soon as possible."

Cui Wanqing reprimanded Cao Tang and appeased Meng Yuele, finally letting the two little girls who were chattering quiet for a while.

Just as they were talking, the ceremonial music outside had already begun to play, Cui Wanqing was excited, and the whole person sat straight, "It's about to start, why haven't the people in the palace come yet?" ”

When the matter came to an end, Cui Wanqing suddenly realized that she really hoped that the hairpin she was wearing at the ceremony was the one sent by Qi Xuanhui.

It's just that although Qi Xuanhui promised, the plan will never be able to catch up with the rapid change, and that branch of the heart, I don't know what kind of hairpin it looks like, can it be delivered to Cui's house in time?

She was thinking wildly in her heart, Cui Yongzhong's speech outside had ended, and with the loud invitation of the singers, Cui Wanqing was supported by Yulan and Yingqiao, and walked to the salute stage step by step.

I saw Mrs. Ming'an Hou wearing Mrs. Hou's formal dress, with red brocade and black jade-inlaid belt, looking extremely dignified and noble.

The originally gentle and amiable aunt suddenly became majestic.

Mrs. Ming Anhou and Meng Yuele, who was wearing a big red gown, were standing on the east and west sides, looking at Cui Wanqing with a smile in the middle of the high platform.

It's just that Mrs. Ming'anhou's eyes are full of the kindness of the elders, and Meng Yuele's eyes are full of blessings and sincere encouragement.

At this most solemn, solemn and holy moment for the women of the Great Qin Dynasty, all the people who came to congratulate them came out with the most sincere blessings.

There were dozens of people sitting in the courtyard, there was no noise at all, and everyone was quietly watching Cui Wanqing, waiting for her ceremony to officially begin.

At this moment, a unique, sharp voice sounded at the main gate of the north, "The Empress Dowager has arrived, and Cui Wanqing has taken the order." ”

"It's coming!" Cui Wanqing's heart jumped suddenly, "Ah Hui really did it!" ”

Cui Wanqing's heart was hot, and her calm mood just now became excited in an instant, she raised her eyes to look at Gonggong He, who was extremely familiar in her previous life, who held a bright yellow Yizhi in her hand, walked up to the high platform with a smile, followed by four little eunuchs, each of whom was holding a lotus pattern tray made of pure gold.

The hairpin sent by Qi Xuanhui was in one of the trays, but it was a pity that the lotus petals of each tray were raised high, just right to block people's vision, so that you could not see what was inside.

Cui Wanqing is concerned about it now, and she didn't notice it at all, because of the sudden arrival of Father-in-law He, the guests below couldn't hold back their curiosity, and whispered about which one to sing.

"I'll just say the news from last time was true, right? You still don't believe it, look, the Queen Mother and her old man's edict are here, don't you have a hard mouth now? This was said by Cui Wanqing's aunt and grandmother.

The uncle, who was complained by his uncle and grandmother, touched his beard with a thoughtful face, looked at the petite figure on the high platform in the distance, and there was a touch of pity in his eyes.

"What's there to be proud about?"

"The old man wished it was fake news!" The uncle obviously had the same idea as his sister, "You don't want to think about it, if you marry a royal person, you can still live in peace in the future?" ”

When my uncle and grandmother heard this, they were silent, but they said in their hearts: "Who in the capital doesn't know that Lord Liang is the first golden son-in-law?" ”

"It's obviously a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern, but it's hypocritical to survive, and it's really a head caught in the door!" (To be continued.) )
