Chapter 378: Sending Relatives (5)
The bride is gone, and the feast is about to begin.
Here in Qinghua Hutong, the masters live less, only the Liu family looks at the house, and now they are holding a banquet, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.
Zhen Xuan borrowed the cook from the Shilang Mansion, Aunt He can be a person, she knows how to give face to Aunt Zu, and the cooks sent are all good skills.
Most of the guests who came were businessmen who corresponded with the Xia family, and there were also in-laws of the Xia and Pei families in the capital.
Yun is the new daughter-in-law, I don't know anyone, Liao's mother followed her, one by one, Yun is an extroverted personality, loves to laugh and talk, and quickly became familiar with the guests.
After the banquet, the troupe appeared on the stage, and it was lively.
When Zhen Xuan and the Yun clan sent the guests out of the house, the male guests in front of them also dispersed.
Zhen Xuan and Yun were also tired, and sincerely thanked the two Mrs. Zheng, and then went back to the flower hall to sit down and drink tea and rest.
The blue and white alleys, which had been lively for a day, suddenly quieted down, and when I looked out, only the red lanterns under the corridor showed that there was joy today.
After a brief dinner, Xia Yiqing and Xia Suqing whispered about things.
Zhen Xuan rinsed her mouth and said to the Yun clan with a smile: "It's a little unaccustomed to being so quiet." ”
Yun Shi blinked, and his tone was a little sarcastic: "It turns out that it feels like this to marry a daughter in the family......"
Zhen Xuan smiled faintly and sighed.
This is also the first time she tasted this taste, Zhen Ke and Zhen Shan did not go out of the pavilion in the Yongzhou mansion, she did not go to Qingrong Hall when Zhen Ying got married, and she didn't know the scene there until she came out of the cabinet herself. Even if I ate the wedding wine of Zhenlin, Zhenqi, and Zhenqiong. She had returned before the evening. I haven't experienced the taste of this dinner.
It's lonely, and I always feel like something is missing.
Marrying a sister-in-law is already like this, and when Sister Xi leaves the cabinet in the future, Zhen Xuan doesn't know what she will be sad about.
It was getting late, so I didn't sit much and went back to my room.
After freshening up, Zhen Xuan was afraid of the cold and hid in the quilt first. Pilllow your arms out of your mind.
Xia Yiqing came out of the clean room, and when she saw her lowering her eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking, she hooked the corners of her lips and sat down on the edge of the bed, and talked to her while taking off her shoes: "What's wrong?" Reluctant? ”
Hearing this, Zhen Xuan nodded lightly: "Reluctant." ”
Since Zhen Xuan married into the Xia family, Xia Huqing has shown her friendliness, and her sister-in-law has also gotten along well in recent years.
Lian looked at the red lanterns in the yard that had not been extinguished. I have a lot of thoughts.
"Thinking that Sister Xi will marry in the future, I feel more and more uncomfortable." Zhen Xuan pouted. Muttered.
Xia Yiqing was stunned for a moment, thinking of Sister Xi, who was now staggering even a few steps, he couldn't help laughing: "You're too early in your mind." ”
Zhen Xuan herself knew it, but she couldn't calm down, she raised her eyes to look at Xia Yiqing, and saw that there was also a smile in his eyes, and her dark eyes were full of her appearance, she couldn't help blushing, and turned her head: "It feels early now, and when it really comes, I don't think about why time flies so quickly." ”
Xia Yiqing blew out the lantern and settled the account, held Zhen Xuan in her arms, and laughed in a low voice: "It's quite fast." When I met you outside the Linglong Pavilion, I should have only been older than the Seventh Sister, right? ”
Speaking of the past, Zhen Xuan was also interested, calculated carefully, and said: "Older than the seventh sister, she is ten years old." ”
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
At that time, when Xia Yiqing rescued Tao Aya, she didn't think that she would end up marrying Zhen Xuan, a wife who was so much younger than herself.
"But before that, the second master should have met me." Zhen Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "When we came down the mountain from the Fu family's Zhuangzi, the second master helped us. ”
Xia Yiqing raised her eyebrows, and after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized.
At that time, he was just passing by, and he met the Fu family, so it was also appropriate to help, and at that time, several young ladies by the carriage, he didn't look carefully out of courtesy, how did he know that one of them was Zhen Xuan.
It's really a marriage.
lowered his head and pecked Zhen Xuan lightly on the forehead, hugged each other and fell asleep.
On the day Xia Huqing returned to the door, Zhen Xuan and Yun got up early in the morning, dressed up properly, and waited patiently.
Liu Tianbao was waiting for the letter at the mouth of the alley, and when he saw the car of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he hurriedly ran back to report the news.
Fu Yan got off at the gate, Zhen Xuan and Yun waited at the second gate, waiting for the carriage to stop and put the pedals, Walnut jumped out of the car and helped Xia Huqing get out of the car.
Xia Huqing was newly married, dressed in vermilion, combed a woman's head, and looked completely different from the previous boudoir.
Yun looked up and down, and smiled: "It's only been three days, and I can't recognize the third aunt and grandmother." ”
Xia Huqing knew that the Yun family was teasing her, but her face couldn't help but turn red, and she simply hid beside Zhen Xuan.
The three of them went back to the flower hall to sit down and talk, the matter between the husband and wife on the wedding night was taught to Xia Huqing by the Zheng family before they set off from Yongzhou, but the way of getting along with the aunt and uncle when they returned to the door can only be asked by the two sisters-in-law.
Knowing that Xia Huqing was shy, the Yun family avoided it under the pretext of changing clothes.
Zhen Xuan blushed, and talked to Xia Huqing with her ear, Xia Huqing was even more ashamed that the roots of her ears were hot, rubbing her handkerchief with both hands, and nodded slightly after half a sound.
The answers to the questions are not cheeky. Seeing Xia Huqing's head, Zhen Xuan didn't ask more.
After sitting for a while, Xia Yiqing and Xia Suqing came over, and the man who accompanied them was tall and handsome, it was Fu Yan.
There are few people in the family, and one table is enough for dinner, Zhen Xuan bought a table of wine and food, many of which Xia Huqing likes dishes, which made Xia Huqing's eyes slightly red.
Xia Suqing is not strong enough to drink, Xia Yiqing and Fu Yan are chess opponents, and they talk very happily.
Zhen Xuan glanced at Fu Yan from time to time, and saw that although he was drinking one cup after another, his gaze often stopped on Xia Huqing, soft and warm.
This discovery made Zhen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, as a family member, he hoped that Xia Huqing's marriage would be smooth, Fu Yan looked at it as a real person, and he should treat Xia Huqing well.
"Sister-in-law, when will you go back to Yongzhou?"
Zhen Xuan looked at Xia Huqing and said softly, "I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Time is tight on the road. In any case, you have to rush back before Laba worships your ancestors. The good thing is that we go from north to south. The river should not have been frozen. ”
Xia Huqing nodded slowly, Zhen Xuan didn't know what she was thinking, she was newly married, and she was naturally reluctant to go south and north with her family so soon.
"Third sister, what should be said, my mother and I have told you." Zhen Xuan shook Xia Huqing's hand and said comfortingly. "Don't think too much, if you have the opportunity, the second master and I will come to Beijing to see you again. I know that most of your sisters are in Yongzhou, and I don't know anyone in Beijing, but if you want to visit your relatives in your spare time, you can send a letter to your uncle and aunt, or you can send a post to my fourth sister. Speaking of which, the fourth sister also likes to be lively, and you can occasionally accompany her, which also makes me a matter of concern. ”
Xia Huqing bent his eyes and smiled.
Zhen Xuan didn't say it thoroughly because Fu Yan was here. But Xia Huqing understood.
Zhen Xuan was telling her that Ruoding Yuan had been wronged in the mansion. You can go to Mrs. Zheng for help, or you can go to find Zhenlin. The Marquis of Dingyuan wants to tie up with the Seven Princes, and if Xia Huqing and Zhenlin are closer, they can also gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion sooner.
This is because she is afraid that she will be alone and helpless in Beijing, and repeat Xia Hanqing's mistakes.
When I returned to the banquet, I naturally couldn't get my uncle drunk, and when I was almost drunk, I cleaned it up.
After the kitchen brought the sobering soup and sat for a while, Xia Huqing went back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Until this moment, it can be regarded as really marrying Xia Huqing.
Zhen Xuan's heart was settled, and Wan Qin commanded the maid to pack up the luggage for the return trip.
This trip back to the city, although Xia Huqing's dowry was missing, a lot of new things were added, not only the New Year's gifts brought back by the four of them, but also something for Mrs. Zheng, plus the New Year's gifts to the Pei family, such as Shilang's Mansion, Seven Masters, Zhenlin, Zhenlu, etc., almost filled the first floor of the cargo ship.
Zhen Heng went back with them, and the people on both sides met outside the city gate, and went to the ferry.
Xu is the relationship between the wax moon and getting closer and closer, and the ferry port is particularly lively, whether it is the New Year's gift from various provinces, or the wanderer returning home, the wharf is full of people.
Although the Xia family's boat can be parked at the dock of the official ship, there are many official eunuchs and their relatives who go out, and they finally let the boat come over after waiting for a long time.
Sailing away from the most crowded waters of the capital, all the way to the south, the waterway is open, and it is a tailwind, and it is extremely fast.
The Yun family was seasick and dizzy, and this time he still couldn't be spared, he just hoped that he could be down-to-earth as soon as possible and no longer suffer from this boat.
On the fourth day of the lunar month, the ship docked.
The wind was strong by the water, Zhen Xuan still felt cold with Tang Pozi in her hand, and the group did not delay, so they rested overnight at the inn, and when the luggage and goods were unloaded and loaded, they rushed to Yongzhou City the next morning.
When I entered the city on the sixth day of the first lunar month, I saw many big families in the city setting up tents outside the city gate, planning to give porridge on the day of Laba.
After entering the city, Zhen Heng said goodbye to Zhen Xuan and returned to Pei's house first.
And Xia Fuli had already received the letter and was waiting for them to go home.
Stepping into the familiar Tianyi Courtyard, Zhen Xuan's heart suddenly became steady, and the hot water was prepared for chess, and after Zhen Xuan bathed and changed, the two nurses also hugged Sister Xi and Brother Yun, who had been cleaned up.
After Xia Yiqing cleaned up, the couple took the child to Tingfeng Garden.
Mrs. Zheng looked forward to seeing them return safely, and hugged the two children who had not been seen for several months, kissing and kissing.
Zheng asked Xia Huqing about the wedding banquet, and knew that when they returned to the door, they were in harmony with each other, and Fu Yan was a well-behaved person, so he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said to Aunt Wen: "You can rest assured." ”
Aunt Wen nodded tearfully.
On this day's dinner, a lot of dishes were added, Brother Yun was sleepy, and was sent back to Tianyi Courtyard early, Sister Xi reached the age where she liked to hold a spoon by herself, and Mrs. Zheng set up a small table for her to eat.
Zhen Xuan looked back from time to time, and Sister Xi'er's serious appearance was really pleasing.
Xia Jingqing was also watching, and saw that Sister Xi'er had a lot of soup on her chin, and laughed, Sister Xi heard the voice, looked up, and knew that she was laughing at her, so she pouted dissatisfiedly and turned her head. (To be continued......)
