Chapter 117: Great Joy
"Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with these bad things. Dongzhu is going to get married tomorrow, although he is a maid, but our family is not his subordinate, do you want to have a drink then? ”
"Dongzhu is not qualified to let the old man go when he marries, this is a rule that cannot be broken. Gangzi is not here, let Weiguo go! He is the head of the house, which means that the house is just right, so that his in-laws will not look down on Dongzhu, and he will not break the rules. ”
The old man said without thinking about it, in his eyes, the rules of the nobility are bigger than the sky, and they cannot be exceeded in the slightest.
"Nacheng, let Weiguo go tomorrow, you know, after she gets married, there will be one less person in the family who dares to talk to me loudly, I really want to give her a strong voice."
"Nonsense, you can't go, if you want to go, you can only go with Baolai instead of you. Don't break the rules because of a subordinate, this point must be clear. ”
The old man said sternly, if he knew that Cai Cong had broken the rules. Without a subordinate and humble, he will definitely knock Cai Cong with a cane.
"You're right, don't dare to break the rules. Let's go back! You are also tired, I will ask someone to serve you to freshen up and rest. ”
Cai Cong said with a smile, there is no need to fight with the old man at this time, he can't go if he wants to, the emperor asked him to think about it behind closed doors!
Sister Cai has never been out of the house, and she will have nightmares when she sees those rotting corpses. After arranging dinner, she hid in the room with the four girls and whispered, all of them were like flowers, and they suddenly said that they wanted to separate, and they were always a little reluctant.
The next day, Xu Jie rode a horse, with flowers on his head and a thick rouge gouache on his face, and greeted his relatives at the side door of the Hou Mansion.
Cai Cong almost thought he had seen a monster at first sight, and he was startled, and others praised a handsome man, and he could see that what people said was sincere, not complimentary, which made him dare not compliment the aesthetics of this era.
The bride who got married was supposed to be carried by her brother to the sedan chair, but Dongzhu is a hard-working person, where did he come from? Xu Jie didn't dislike it, and personally carried her on the sedan chair.
This move made the people of the Hou Mansion very satisfied, and the intimidation stick that was supposed to be suffered was also intentionally forgotten by the people of the Hou Mansion.
"Xu Jie, although Dongzhu has only been at my house for more than a year, but with my mother, like sisters, if you dare to disappoint her in the future, don't say that I can't pass this level, my mother will definitely not spare you. You know? ”
Cai Cong said loudly, and the four of Sister Cai cried like cats in the inner courtyard, and they couldn't see anyone.
Dongzhu cried a lot, holding the sedan chair and crying that he would not marry anymore and that he wanted to stay with his wife. was so frightened that everyone's faces changed, the matchmaker tried her best to cover the curtain to prevent her from coming out, and Cai Cong and others also persuaded each other.
Just kidding, if you don't get married at this time, you two won't hate me to death in the future? Cai Cong thought to himself, and wiped his cold sweat in fright. Xu Jie repeatedly promised that he would treat Dongzhu well, and then rode his horse and took the sedan chair to his home.
Cai Cong really wanted to see it, it was the first time he had seen the ancient wedding, and he was very curious. It's a pity that the old man stared too closely, so he didn't dare to go.
"Don't think Uncle Tai is unkind, and don't let you and your mother remove their dignity and humility, but also for the good of those two children. You don't want to think about it, if you go, everyone will surround you, even Xu Jie's parents will be restrained, can they be happy to get married? ”
Uncle Tai was lying on the rocking chair, shaking the fan and talking leisurely. He knows a lot more than Cai Cong's mother and son, so he naturally knows what will happen if the two of them go.
"What you always said makes sense, but your worries are a little redundant, Your Majesty ordered Sun Sun to think about it behind closed doors, I can't go out, I went out yesterday to prevent the plague, but I also said in the past, if I dare to go out today, Your Majesty is afraid that someone will send someone to break my legs!.
Tang Yi, tell the kitchen to eat a banquet in the house tonight, and everyone will eat, just as we are happy for Dongzhu. Cai Cong said with a smile, if you can't go, you can't go, the picture is a happy one, and the mind can be reached.
Since Cai was wise and reasonable, the old man would no longer stare at him, and walked slowly, and the two subordinates followed him step by step with a rocking chair.
"Alas, people walk old gods, why do I walk like I'm lame?" Cai Cong said and walked to the study with a cane.
Before lunch, someone came to report that Xu Jie's relatives came to the door, saying that they wanted to thank Hou Ye for his generous gift in person.
"Huh?"
Cai Cong wondered for a moment, why did he come to thank himself when he was not busy greeting guests at this time? Puzzled or puzzled, Cai Cong still let him in.
"Xiaguan pays a visit to Master Hou." The person who came was tall, with a majestic face, wearing a brocade robe in Shuzhong, a cinnamon belt around his waist, and valuable deerskin velvet boots under his feet.
What a mighty man, Cai Cong secretly praised in his heart. "No need for vulgar courtesy, are you Xu Jie's?"
"Xiaguan Xu Jingzong is Xu Jie's uncle, and now he is serving as a writer in the court, and he came here today to thank Lord Hou for his generous gift on behalf of my cousin's family."
Xu Jingzong really can't wait for his son to get acquainted with a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, not to mention the gold, jade, pearls and silver gifts given to Xu Jie, even the dowry that a maid marries is a pastry shop called by Chang'an, which is a golden rooster that only lays eggs!
"They are all people who I have been loyal to me, and I will not treat them badly. There is no need to come over to say thank you, now that the wedding is probably busy, Ben Hou will not leave the adults to eat. ”
Cai Cong said casually, Xu Jingzong didn't look like he came to thank him, who had ever come to thank him empty-handed, and his eyes were still rolling?
"Speaking of which, the lower officials will retire first." Xu Jingzong said as usual, and when he walked out of the Hou Mansion, he showed a look of regret.
Didn't you say that this Hou Ye is very easy to speak? Why do you have an attitude of not approaching people?
Speaking of which, Xu Jie's family is just a branch of the branch, and he is not qualified to let Xu Jingzong come to congratulate him in person, but he is still busy when he comes, just to find an opportunity to take the big boat of Cai Cong.
Otherwise, he would not have volunteered to thank Cai Cong on behalf of Xu Jie's family, but unfortunately he was too anxious and too scheming, he forgot to bring the gift, and always thought about how to say it to impress Cai Cong, but people were disgusted and directly ordered to expel the customer.
He walked back to Xu Jie's house with some gains and losses, and was lively at the moment, worshipping his parents, and worshipping again, the bride had been sent to the new house, Xu Jie was carrying a wine jar, a table, a table of toasts, he would have to drink three hundred cups, his face was red, and he didn't know if it was rouge or wine.
"Uncle Cousin, you're back. Hurry up and enter the table, has the gift Hou Ye accepted, do you like it or not? When Xu Jie saw Xu Jingzong, he immediately greeted him warmly and took a seat.
Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, he really wanted to slap himself with a big mouth, but only then did he remember that he had forgotten the gift and didn't bring it, and his remorseful intestines were almost green.
"Huh...... Hou Ye said, as long as the days of your young husband and wife are over, it will be better than anything. Xu Jingzong didn't say that he had forgotten, and said the scene with a smile.
probably felt that he was a little sorry for Xu Jie, Xu Jingzong did not dislike the vulgar Qiu Ba left and right, the wine was not rejected by those who came, and he also made Xu Jie say two meat jokes when he came, which made the people present laugh, and they all said that this relative is good, and there is no way to be an official.
