On the third day of the lunar month, Gu Xuesong and the Jiang family came to Xu Ning Street together in the black nanmu carriage.

The car was going to drive directly to the gate of Huacaiyuan, but it was forced to stop when it was still seventy or eighty zhang away from Huacaiyuan, it turned out that countless carriages had already been piled up at the gate of Huacaiyuan, and they were bustling on the road, so that the carriages and horses on the road could only drive very slowly and intermittently, and Gu Xuesong's carriage could not immediately approach Huacaiyuan.

Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that a female owner can recruit so many people to cheer up, presumably this female owner must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the woman is not allowed to have eyebrows, such a rare woman, I really hope to make friends with her." ”

Gu Xuesong glanced at the Jiang clan and didn't answer her words.

In the end, it is the daughter raised by the prince and the princess, not like an ordinary official woman, who looks down on a woman from a merchant family because of her official background. The daughter of the prince's family must be different from ordinary women in terms of vision and mind.

Guan Qi lifted the curtain and asked, "Childe, do you want to get out of the car now, or wait until the door to get out of the car?" ”

Gu Xuesong was speechless, there was a moment of silence in the carriage, Jiang glanced at Gu Xuesong, and then at Guanqi, and then said understandingly: "It's not cold outside today, husband, why don't we get off the car and walk a few steps now, what does husband think?" ”

Gu Xuesong looked at the gate of Huacaiyuan with red lanterns, suddenly became timid, couldn't help but look away, and said in a gloomy tone: "I suddenly remembered that I still have official business to deal with, you can go and congratulate her on my behalf." ”

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Does the husband have official duties?" "After all, I haven't heard of Gu Xuesong having something to do today.

"Hmm." Gu Xuesong nodded, lowered his gaze, and his tone was a little perfunctory: "Anyway, you go and give her the congratulatory gift for me, I won't go." ”

Jiang's eyes flashed with worry and doubt, but he didn't say anything, just said obediently and considerately: "Then I'll get out of the car, and when the wedding banquet is over, I will go home by myself, and my husband doesn't need to pick me up again." ”

Gu Xuesong didn't make a sound, just nodded, and after the Jiang family got out of the car, Gu Xuesong's black nanmu carriage turned around and left Xu Ning Street with a grunt.

On the day of Ningxia Qing's marriage, it was very lively, and this small Xu Ning Street had not been so lively for at least ten years. After dawn, firecrackers exploded at the entrance of Huacaiyuan, which sounded so loudly that the neighbors on the left and right came out to see the excitement.

And on this day, Xu Ning Street was full of traffic, and there were many people who came to Huacaiyuan to congratulate them, bustling like a tide, and it was so lively that it exceeded the imagination of the Ning family, and the number of guests exceeded the number of invitations sent out by the Ning family several times. Across the three streets, you can hear the bustling and lively sound of Huacaiyuan.

Ningxia Qingyuan didn't want to do a big deal. She didn't like to be flamboyant, and she was worried that if there were too many people, it would disturb Cao's rest, so she planned to invite as few people as possible.

The old lady and the Cao family are not natives of Liu'an County, so there are no Han family and Cao family to congratulate. Therefore, Ningxia Qing basically only invited a few people from his own family, a group of neighbors, and the Gu family who had always been close to the Ning family.

Unexpectedly, people from the Weaving Bureau came, the Chamber of Commerce also came, and the representatives of the rest of the families in the county who did the horse material business, Mrs. Gu brought the three grandmothers of the Gu family, Liu Yiru's disciples, and even the Luo family in Liuyang County came with a lot of people.

Even Ningxia Qing didn't expect that he could have such a big face.

The small Huacai Garden can no longer accommodate so many people, and the Huacai Garden is so crowded that people can hardly turn around, which is really rubbing shoulders. And there is a steady stream of friendly merchants pouring in from the main entrance of Hua Cai Yuan.

There are so many people in Huacaiyuan that Zi'er is scared.

It stands to reason that Zi'er has seen the world since she went to the academy, but such a grand occasion really scared Zi'er a lot, and she tightly pulled the corner of the old lady's clothes.

The old lady also always took care of Zi'er carefully, for fear that in such a bustling crowd, the little Zi'er would not be easy to be seen, and she would be trampled on like this.

In fact, it is not that there are more banquets than today's Huacaiyuan, if it is said to be a banquet in the family, which one is not more luxurious than today's Huacaiyuan?

But the family has a wide courtyard, so it doesn't seem to be too crowded, but Huacaiyuan, a small family, has so many people squeezed in at once, and it is inevitable that there will be more people, and there will be more than dumplings.

Fortunately, the Ning family had also prepared a banquet in Wanshou Restaurant before, and Ning Er's grandmother, who had come to help, saw that Ning's family was so lively, so she hurriedly asked someone to go to Wanshou Restaurant to book ten more tables, and after inviting all the guests to Wanshou Restaurant, Hua Caiyuan was barely relieved, and the out-of-control crowding did not last long.

On this day, Cao insisted on getting up to greet the guests, and he had to watch Ningxia Qing's marriage ceremony with his own eyes, Ningxia Qing really couldn't resist Cao's, and seeing that Cao's complexion seemed to be better than a few days ago, he had to agree.

At the time of the marriage ceremony, Ning Ningqing's eyes were almost always staring at Cao's body, who was still pale despite his makeup, because of Cao's body, Ningxia Qing's heart always couldn't help but feel bottomless.

The day after they got married, early in the morning, before Ningxia Qing and Ah Zheng got up, they heard an unusual movement from the Cao family's courtyard, which scared Ning Ningqing so much that his heart was about to jump out, and he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to Cao's side.

It turned out that when Cao got up to drink water, because the room was dim, he didn't see the low stool at his feet, bumped into it, and fell. Ning Xia Qing came out of the house after pacifying the Cao family, but his heart became more and more uneasy, not knowing whether this so-called Chongxi could make the Cao family turn the corner.

When he came out of Cao's house, he saw Cuiyu hurriedly coming up, saying that Dong Zizhen and Ning Er were waiting in the front hall.

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but be very puzzled, early in the morning, before Hua Caiyuan opened, Dong Zizhen and Ning Er came over, could it be that something big happened?

And even if there is a big deal, how could Dong Zizhen and Second Master Ning come over together? Ning Xia Qingyi frowned and asked, "Did they come together?" ”

Jade replied, "They came in one piece, but I heard they met at the door." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and then went to see them in the living room.

"What's wrong?" Ning Ningqing, who had already put on the woman's bun, walked into the living room, knowing that the other party must be in a hurry, so he didn't talk much nonsense, anyway, he was his own person, so he asked directly.

After listening to what Second Master Ning said, I realized that Master Ning made trouble until midnight yesterday, and finally achieved the goal of setting up his own door, which can be regarded as a complete break with the Ning family.

This matter has not been completed for so long before, and it is all the credit of the patriarch's efforts.

When Master Ning proposed to divide the family, he also put forward a condition, that is, to divide the Ning's two mulberry gardens. The Ning family has always attached great importance to the mulberry garden, and regards the mulberry garden as the foundation of the Ning family, just look at how many means the former clan used to get her mulberry garden. In short, the clan would never allow Master Ning to take away two mulberry gardens at once.

But last night, Master Ning went to the patriarch to make trouble all night, and the patriarch somehow agreed.

Now that Master Ning has set up his own door, it is equivalent to a part of the Ning clan's power has been weakened, which is definitely not a good thing for the Ning clan who is now in danger.

At the same time, Dong Zizhen's side also encountered trouble, and it turned out that the imperial court wanted to order heirloom glaze from Ningxia Qing.

Because Ningxia Qing was busy getting married, he didn't find Ningxia Qing but Dong Zizhen on this errand, and Dong Zizhen hurriedly came to Ningxia Qing after hearing about it.

At the moment, what the heirloom glass can't make yet, Dong Zi really knows. Therefore, Dong Zizhen also knows that at the moment, the Ning family cannot accept the list of Shiliuli. But the other party was from the imperial court, and Dong Zizhen didn't dare to refuse directly.

So, Dong Zizhen was in a very dilemma, neither dared to take the order, nor dared to refuse the court, so he had to find a way to find an excuse to shirk, saying that the workshop was busy with the orders that had been signed, and there was really no manpower to weave the heirloom glass, so this list could not be accepted.

The other party said that this list is not in a hurry, it will be delivered next winter, and there is still a year left for now, and the workshop will definitely be able to turn over.

At this moment, Dong Zizhen had no choice, so he said that he would discuss with Ningxia Qing, and for the time being, he delayed there, and then came to Ningxia Qing.

If the Ning family refuses this list now on the grounds that it cannot be produced, the court may not believe Ning's words, and will give the Ning family a hat that defies imperial power, and then the entire Ning family will be in a catastrophe.

Ning Xia Qing knew before that once the news of the birth of the heirloom glaze spread, the Ning family would inevitably receive an order for the heirloom glaze.

And a precious thing like heirloom glaze, even if it can be made, the output cannot be high, so Ningxia Qing originally planned to use this excuse to push off the list of heirloom glaze.

But the list in front of him turned out to be sent by the imperial court, and the excuse that Ning Xia Qing thought of was not used. For Ningxia Qing, what is in front of him is really a big crisis.

Ning Xia Qing thought for a while, and didn't have an idea in his heart for the time being, and asked Dong Zizhen with some annoyance: "Who is going to decide the heirloom glaze?" Is it a household? Or is it the Ministry of Rites? ”

"Neither." Dong Zizhen shook his head and replied, "It's a prince." ”

"The Prince?" Ning Ningqing frowned, and couldn't help but groan even more.

"yes." Dong Zizhen said: "The other party said that this list is a congratulatory gift for the 40th birthday of the palace mother, and said that even the emperor was very relieved when he knew that the prince was going to use the heirloom glass to make a congratulatory gift for the mother." It seems that the emperor and the mother are waiting to see the heirloom glass presented by the prince. ”

All this seems to be related to the palace, which can't help but make Ning Ningqing even more annoyed.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Dong Zizhen at a loss, and then at Ning Er, remembering Ning Er's intention, she suddenly felt that things were a bit coincidental.

When the Ning family received this tricky list, Master Ning also happened to go out of the family, is this just a coincidence?

Could it be that Master Ning had long known that the Ning family would have this catastrophe, so he insisted on splitting up his family to avoid trouble?
