October 20 of the Chu calendar, it is the day of repeated selection, for the people of the capital, the capital that has been shrouded in haze has finally ushered in a festive event.

The marriage of the Jinyi Qi family, of course, is a major event, and the bride is the daughter of the god of the Shenhou Mansion, which naturally attracts everyone's attention, many people have inquired about the route of the welcoming team early, waiting for the team to pass by, can feel the festive atmosphere, more importantly, like the Jinyi Qi family, when greeting relatives, it is inevitable to distribute some happy money along the way, although it will not be too much, but enough for the people who get the festivities to eat a few hot steamed buns.

The Jinyi Marquis Mansion is naturally very festive.

Although Gu Qinghan is in charge of the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, there is still an elder in charge of such a major event, and the third old lady is busy in this marriage, and he can be regarded as making a lot of contributions, and the main marriage of the man is naturally the third old lady.

At the beginning, many people of the Qi clan followed the three old ladies to support Qi Yu to inherit the title, so Qi Ning cut off the relationship with the Qi clan in public, and many people in the Qi clan did not think so at first, but after Qi Ning inherited the position of marquis, he has always been valued by the emperor, and has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, which made many clansmen begin to get closer, but Qi Ning did not say that he would return to the Qi clan, so everyone was embarrassed to get too close.

The Sima family once had unlimited scenery, and everyone could see that Sima Lan would have to clean up the Jinyi Qi family sooner or later, so some people in the Qi clan were worried that if they really got too close to the Jinyi Hou Mansion, they would bring disaster to themselves, until the Sima family collapsed, and the Qi people no longer hesitated, although they didn't dare to find Qi Ning, they found the three old ladies one after another, hoping to help when Qi Ning got married.

So on the day of the wedding, many of the jobs are not done by the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion, but the children of the Qi clan have come to help, and they can find a messenger to help in the Guogong Mansion, even if they move the table and bench, many of the children of the Qi clan also feel that the face is infinitely glorious, and those who can't find a job are bored looking for work everywhere, lest they will not help this time.

The three old ladies are in charge, the five masters and the six masters of the Qi family are also in charge of their own stalls, plus Gu Qinghan and Mr. Han are in charge, everything is also in order.

The big and small officials in the capital naturally know Qi Ning's wedding date, as early as three days before the wedding, they have begun to come to the door in an endless stream to give gifts, everyone also has a vision, knowing that this small country grandfather is a popular person in the court, so they all send generous gifts, every day the Guogong Mansion receives countless gifts, Gu Qinghan ordered people to vacate two large empty houses, specially used to place gifts.

Duan Canghai and Zhao Wuxian made a special trip back from the Black Scale Camp to attend the wedding, after all, it was the wedding of the grandfather of the country, and this façade was also indispensable, and Qi Ning knew that a girl's family would have a big wedding in her life, so she ordered to be as lively as possible when the wedding was held, and the third old lady had already invited several major gong and drum teams in the capital to come over, and even passed down the word, when welcoming the relatives, which team played the loudest sound, and there was another reward at that time.

According to the customs of Chu State, at noon, the welcoming team will rush to Xianleju to marry the bride, but the road back and forth can not be the same, otherwise it is a way back, and the omen is not good.

The Protector's Mansion is not far from Xianleju, and the Duke of the Kingdom welcomes his relatives, although there will be onlookers, but the road is absolutely smooth, after all, Xue Lingfeng knows the route of Qi Ning's wedding, and for safety, he sent someone to clear the road early, so the time to greet the relatives will not be too long, and the departure here is also the right time.

Gu Qinghan was busy and ran over to check if Qi Ning had cleaned up properly.

The two mothers-in-law came to sort out the bun and crown clothes for Qi Ning, which is also worried that the maid does not understand the rules, if something goes wrong and is seen by others, it is inevitable to laugh, these two mothers-in-law are very familiar with the family procedures of the official eunuchs, and pay great attention to the details, so Gu Qinghan specially arranged for the two to serve Qi Ning.

The gorgeous groom's official robe has not yet been worn on his body, but Qi Ning's hair bun has been braided, and he is facing the bronze mirror to see if there is anything wrong at this time, after Gu Qinghan came in, the two mothers-in-law immediately saluted, and one of the mothers-in-law smiled and said: "Third lady, Grandpa Guo is the most handsome groom official the old maid has ever seen, and no one can compare to it." ”

Gu Qinghan is also dignified and elegant today, she only uses a little powder on weekdays, but today she deliberately dressed up, the whole person looks extremely gorgeous, and said with a smile: "You can just talk, you can pick it up later, but don't forget to ask Grandpa Guo for a reward." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said: "There are rewards, there are rewards." ”

The mother-in-law said happily: "Grandpa Xie Guo and the third lady reward, Grandpa Guo, let's try the crown clothes." ”

Qi Ning turned around, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, and it's not easy to put on this crown dress, I'll talk about it later." You go down and rest for a while, the third lady and I have something to say. ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly bowed and retreated, Gu Qinghan smiled and said: "Today's wedding, tomorrow you will really grow up, don't worry about me in the future, I don't have to worry about it in the future, I will have Miss Ximen to take care of you in the future, I will be relieved." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Sanniang is wrong, whether I am married or not, you will have to take care of my affairs to the end in this life." Walking slowly to the door and reaching out to close the door, Gu Qinghan was nervous, hurriedly walked over, and said, "I almost forgot, there are still some things in the kitchen that have not been dealt with, I can .....!" Before she finished speaking, Qi Ning had already closed the door, and Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "What are you doing when you close the door?" ”

Qi Ning smiled: "I'm worried that you ran away." ”

Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning looking straight at her, her cheeks flushed with a hint of redness, she had already put on makeup today, her face was so blushing, as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Qi Ning really wanted to hug this beautiful girl into his arms, but he also knew that today was a special day, on the day of the wedding, if he still had to take Gu Qinghan lightly, he would always be a little subordinate, sighed, and did not speak.

Gu Qinghan blinked his eyes slightly, and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Sanniang, are you feeling comfortable now?" ”

"I ..... Naturally, it is pleased. Gu Qinghan sighed faintly: "After you get married, my biggest thing will be completed, and I won't have to worry about anything in the future." ”

"Actually, I'm just wondering if you will become more and more alienated from me after you get married." Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "I thought that many things were under my control, but now I realize that many things are not the way I thought." ”

Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, suddenly raised his arms, carefully arranged Qi Ning's clothes, and said softly: "If you think like this, it means that you have grown up." Ning'er, after the wedding, it is a new beginning, treat your wife well in the future, if you don't treat her well, why do you want to marry her? In fact, it is easy for a woman to be satisfied, as long as her husband treats her well, it is better than anything else. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I will treat her well." ”

Gu Qinghan smiled softly and said, "Your performance today makes Sanniang very pleased. When the little guy grows up, Sanniang will do this well and properly. Turning around and opening the door, Qi Ning always felt that he still had a lot to say to Gu Qinghan, but he didn't stop Gu Qinghan from leaving, watching Gu Qinghan leave, he was muttering to himself, when he suddenly heard the voice of his mother-in-law outside: "Grandpa Guo, Yuan Gongzi asks to see!" ”

Qi Ning knew that it was Yuan Rong, today's wedding, Yuan Rong naturally couldn't come, and ordered Yuan Rong to come in, and soon, Yuan Rong, who was dressed in brocade, walked over quickly, and when he saw Qi Ning, he immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, Greetings to Grandpa Xiguo, today I tied the knot with Miss Ximen, and I envy others." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "I'm just worried that the gift you gave is too light." ”

"Don't blame me, I'll be honest." Yuan Rong smiled: "Last time you instructed the transfer, I sent someone to send a letter to a few giants, they also knew that the prince was married today, day and night, and rushed to the capital last night, and everyone prepared a generous gift, and several people also partnered to prepare a congratulatory gift I gave to you." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning asked, "Who are they?" ”

Yuan Rong said: "You are all familiar with Chen Mukuan of Weitang porcelain, Jiangcheng of Songjiang Tea House, and Zhu Yuchen of Zhujiabu Village, the three of them are now in the capital." ”

Qi Ning said: "These are all old acquaintances, yes, there is also a Qiu .....!" ”

"Qiu Fang of the Qiu family, the king of Liaodong." Yuan Rong shook his head and said, "He is in Liaodong, the road is far away, and it is not easy to send a letter over, so he didn't come over this time." But with these three, that's more than enough. Last night I invited them to dinner, and mentioned the matter of Haibosi, and the three of them knew that it was the meaning of the Guogong, so they didn't say anything, and they opened their mouths to ask how much silver they wanted, and these three families are all big families, and it is okay for any one to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Qi Ning thought that with these three shares, plus Mrs. Tian's side, there is no need to worry about the silver taels needed by Haibo Division in the early stage, today's wedding, the mood is already good, and at this time he is even more comfortable, patted Yuan Rong on the shoulder and said: "There are many guests tonight, I can't accompany them all, you treat me well with them, and I will invite them to dinner alone when I turn back." ”

"Is the prince allowing them to attend the wedding banquet?" Yuan Rong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If Guogong doesn't say it, I'm really hard to mention." The three of them knew about the big wedding of the national prince, and rushed over day and night, hoping to send a congratulatory gift, but they didn't think that they could participate in the wedding banquet. ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

He is now the protector of the empire and the emperor's favorite minister, not to mention that in the eyes of ordinary people, even in the eyes of the feudal officials, he is also a great figure.

Although Chen Mukuan's family is a giant, but when it comes to status, even a small county order is not comparable, in the eyes of the three, Qi Ning is already an unattainable figure, and it is already great to be able to give a congratulatory gift, where can I still hope to participate in the wedding banquet.

"You still have time, the wedding feast will wait until the evening." Qi Ning said: "You can go and tell them that there are their seats at the wedding banquet of the Protector Mansion tonight, and they will have a few drinks when they come from afar." ”

Yuan Rong arched his hand and said: "Guogong is broad-minded and admirable, just leave this matter to me!" ”
