Laughing on the side of his ears, seeing that Jian Qi was so angry that he didn't say a word, the housekeeper asked cautiously, "Master, are we really going?" ”

Jian Qi shouted: "Why don't you go, go, go now." ”

When Ear followed unhurriedly and was about to reach the door, Ear said a word, "My lord, are you ......?"

Jian Qi looked down and saw that he was still wearing a casual dress at home, not to mention wearing socks under his feet, and even his shoes were cloth shoes that he wore before going to bed at night, looking funny, and holding a purple clay pot in his hand.

Jian Qi said angrily: "I'm going to go here, are you a slave so bold, do you still care what Lord Ben wears when he goes out?" ”

Ear hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave should die, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Jian Qi snorted in his nose, but he didn't move, the housekeeper peeked at Jian Qi's expression on the side, and knew it, so he said to the ear: "Brother Er, you go back first, and say that our master will be there immediately." ”

The ears snickered secretly, but his face was very respectful and humble, and he quickly nodded and retreated.

Besides, on the side of the Meng Mansion, it is said that there are many people who are easy to do, in order not to give Jian Qi a chance to regret it, while the ears went to report to Jian Qi, several people acted separately, plus Lin Ruofan and Xia Fengyi were able to do things, half a day's work, the Meng Mansion already had a good look, everywhere was full of lanterns, Qin Se and Ming, Du Qin brought the phoenix crown and xia veil that had been made in advance, these are ready-made, and they are ready to be put in front of the counter to sell land. It's too late to do it now, but fortunately, Jian Ning's figure is very standard, and it is just right to wear it, although the wedding card is in a hurry. But after all, this is the prefect's marriage, and the marriage is still the daughter of the political envoy, and the person who receives the invitation, even if it is a matter of heaven and earth, must not be put down first, and is ready to rush to Mengfu with a generous courtesy. Everyone knew behind their backs that this young prefect couldn't help but have a big backstage, and he had always done things out of common sense, so he got used to it, according to the time mentioned on the invitation. Before the time came, the cars and horses were already boiling in front of the Meng Mansion, and the city was so lively.

Xia Fengyi's yard.

Jian Ning sat on the dresser and fidgeted, Feiyan pressed Jian Ning on the stool, and said with a smile: "Look at you, what's so nervous, I'm going to be a bride soon, I should be happy." ”

Jian Ning had already changed into a new outfit, and Feiyan was dressing her up herself. Jian Ning clutched a champa tightly in her hand. It's almost like they're about to be crushed by themselves.

Jian Ning: "No, I'm worried about my father's ......"

Xiao Nuo said with a smile on the side: "Don't worry about him now, if you marry our Tianchu, you will marry that old man, so for the sake of your own happiness, don't think about your father who only cares about his promotion and fortune one day." ”

Jian Ning bit her lip, and Feiyan hurriedly said, "Look at it, you ate the rouge that was just smeared on you." Lin Ruofan came in from outside the door. Seeing that Jian Ning had already changed into a new outfit. He smiled and said, "What a beautiful Seventh Lady, just like a fairy descending to earth." ”

Xiaonuo joked: "Don't look at other people's greed. Next time you have such a day. ”

Lin Ruofan's face turned red all of a sudden, Feiyan carefully put on a phoenix hairpin for Jian Ning, then took a good look at Jian Ning's face, and praised it: "It's really beautiful." ”

Lin Ruofan walked in front of him and said, "The eldest lady asked me to come over and tell the seventh lady that I really wronged you today, and the master should have gone to the seventh lady's house to pick it up, but the love has to be done, and the seventh lady must not mind well." ”

Jian Ning smiled slightly and said: "Why does the eldest lady still say such things, it makes Jian Ning even more embarrassed, it is true that she is troublesome to everyone, Jian Ning remembers everyone's goodness, and she will definitely repay everyone in the future." ”

Xiao Nuowei smiled: "Then how are you going to repay us?" ”

Jian Ning was asked, and after being speechless for a while, Feiyan pointed at Xiao Nuo and said angrily: "You, you know that it is difficult for Miss Jane." ”

Xiaonuo: "Feiyan, shouldn't you change your name to Ning'er?" ”

Lin Ruofan also smiled and said: "That's what I said, okay, I'll go down and get busy, I went to the lord just now, the second lady is almost ready, the eldest lady is still preparing a new house, I'm going to greet the guests, wait for the ears to come back, I'll come over." ”

Feiyan: "Then you can hurry up, thank you for your hard work." Lin Ruofan retreated with a smile.

When Lin Ruofan arrived in the front yard, he saw Ear coming in from outside the door, and he greeted him with a smile, Ear hurriedly bowed and saluted, Lin Ruofan said, "Lord Jian picked it up?" ”

The ear told Lin Ruofan about the previous incident, and Lin Ruofan also smiled and said, "Death is a shame to suffer." ”

Ear: "Miss Lin, go to the backyard to help, just come to the front ear." ”

Lin Ruofan: "It's okay, I'll let Liu'er and Chai Meng help you." ”

In response, Lin Ruofan was about to leave, when suddenly someone behind him shouted to him, turned around and saw that it was Xue'er, so he smiled and stepped forward.

Xue'er said with a smile: "You said it was a coincidence, I was about to enter the city, and I met a messenger on the way, so I hurried over." ”

Lin Ruofan took Xue'er's hand and said, "Why did the young lady arrive so quickly, let's go, let's go see the bride." ”

The two men talked as they walked.

Xue'er: "Why is my brother-in-law going to marry again?" ”

Lin Ruofan smiled and said, "It's not, it's a good thing." ”

Xue'er gently poked Lin Ruofan's forehead and said, "You know that you are happy for others, what about you, when will your brother-in-law pick you up?" ”

Lin Ruofan stopped laughing, sighed lightly, and said: "Miss, I don't dare to think about this kind of thing, as long as the master is happy, I can serve him by his side for a lifetime, and Ruofan will be satisfied." ”

Xue'er saw Lin Ruofan's lonely appearance and said, "Let's go." I'll go and tell my brother-in-law to go. ”

Lin Ruofan pulled Xue'er and whispered, "Miss, just spare me, if you really say it." Ruofan will leave. ”

Xue'er stopped, looked at Lin Ruofan and said, "You, stay with me well, you just have to come over, and now you are watching your beloved men marry one after another." It's just that you don't have your own share, why don't you ......?"

Lin Ruofan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Miss, you can spare me." ”

Cher had no choice but to stop. He hugged Lou Lin Ruofan's shoulder in distress and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go see the bride." ”

As soon as Jian Qi got out of the car, he heard someone behind him calling him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Song Yuanqiao was smiling like a flower and was coming down from the sedan chair behind him and arching his hand towards him, Jian Qi hurriedly showed a professional smile and stepped forward.

Song Yuanqiao said with a smile: "Brother Jian, your mouth is becoming more and more tight, and you even hide it from me." That's not good. Hahahaha......"

Jian Qi arched his hand and said, "Hahaha......, then my little girl is good for herself, this ...... Although it is the words of the matchmaker of her parents, the main thing is that she is willing, so Lord Song should not laugh at my hard-working father. ”

Song Yuanqiao made a gesture of asking first, waited for Jian Qi to take half a step forward before he followed, and said with a smile: "Brother Jian is laughing at me, you are still miserable." Who doesn't know that Master Meng is now a big celebrity around Long Live Lord. We people just can't get a stammer, where is the chance for our daughter to marry him? Let's talk about getting married. That's a serious 800 who came to be a wife, what's so bad? ”

Jian Qi listened to it in his heart, and it felt good to be touted, but he still said in his mouth: "But this Meng Tianchu can't just say it, our Jian family is marrying a daughter, and we don't even have any preparations...... Look at it, alas......"

Song Yuanqiao laughed and said: "Where do you need to prepare anything for your father-in-law, although Lord Meng's family background is not a rich country, but not to mention this mansion in Hangzhou, even in the capital, I am afraid that there are not many prince's mansions that can be compared, your father-in-law is still blessed!" ”

The two of them entered the door one after the other, their ears at the door, and shouted loudly: "Lord Song Yuanqiao, the political envoy of the left, and Lord Jian Qijian, the political envoy of the right...... Arrive! ”

Song Yuanqiao and Jian Qi looked at each other and smiled, each made a gesture of please, and stepped into the Meng Mansion together.

Jian Qi was shocked by the layout in front of him when he entered the door, and when he looked at it, there were fifty tables in the front yard, a color of red cloth, and most of the officials and family members were led by subordinates and maids, and most of them were already seated, and the colorful silk and lanterns were hung everywhere, and the firecrackers were ready, spread out ten meters away, bustling and lively.

At this time, the ear came over, Song Yuanqiao happened to be talking to other officials on the side, Jian Qi asked in a low voice: "Ear, you tell me honestly, is your master prepared, you said that you only decided to get married today, but it is only a few hours, how can it be ......" After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to these arrangements in front of him.

Ear smiled and said: "These are ready-made places at home, let the people take them out and prepare, and let people use them on the street first." ”

Jian Qi: "I don't doubt this, but you invited so many people today, how can the banquet be set up at once?" ”

Ear: "Early in the morning, I notified Zhiweiguan, Juxian Building and a few Dadi restaurants, so that it can be sent according to the list we set, it is completely time, please let it go."

Jian Qi snorted, looked around, and said, "What about Meng Tianchu?" Now, in Jian Qi's opinion, Meng Tianchu and himself are a family, and calling Lord Meng is angry, and most of his previous anger has disappeared.

Ear pointed to the study and said, "In the study." ”

Jian Qi was unhappy when he heard this, and said, "Today is a big day, why are you still hiding in the study?" ”

Ear: "Everything is ready, just wait for you to come, the auspicious time will begin, the lord and the virtuous concubine are discussing things in the study, and Lord Jian should go to the hall to rest for the time being." ”

Jian Qi looked at the large number of people in the hall, then frowned, his ears and eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly said, "Why don't you take the adults to the side hall to sit?" ”

Jian Qi walked a few steps, but finally didn't hold back, and said, "Where is Jian Ning's dead girl?" ”

Ear hurriedly bowed down and replied, "The Seventh Lady is preparing." ”

Jian Qi couldn't help but sigh: "The wings are stiff, and you can ...... yourself like this." Alas. Well, I'll go see her. ”

Ear thought for a moment and said, "Then Master Jane, let's go here." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Xia Fengyi's courtyard.

As soon as Jian Qi walked to the door of Jian Ningdi, he heard laughter inside, and it was inconvenient for his ears to enter. Then he announced at the door: "Master Jane has arrived." ”

Jian Qi coughed dryly twice, lifted the corner of his robe and trembled, and then stepped into the door, and no one in the room laughed immediately, and it was very quiet when he saw Jian Qi enter the door. A room full of people hurriedly got up and saluted.

Jian Qi finally saw the daughter who was already wearing new clothes among the many women, and her red makeup was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, Jian Qi was a little stunned, as if she had never taken a good look at her daughter. It turned out to be such a dazzling and gorgeous, this dress made Jian Qi go back to sixteen years ago in a trance, it was also a spring day, and it was also a sunny afternoon, and it was also full of friends, and it was also such a graceful woman wearing red makeup and standing silently in front of her, above the high hall, the candle shadow was red, everything seemed to be just yesterday. And then. The woman standing in front of him today is the daughter of the woman back then, the woman she really loved back then, thinking of this, Jian Qi's heart was sour, and she slowly walked towards Jian Ning.

Feiyan saw it clearly, and quickly retreated with a room of people, and then closed the door.

Seeing Jian Qi walking towards her, Jian Ning instinctively took a step back. Leaning against the round table in the center of the room. He bowed his head in fear.

Jian Qi walked up to Jian Ning's side, and said in a trembling voice, "Ning'er." You're so beautiful today. ”

Jian Ning thought that she had misheard, she originally thought that her father would first slap herself twice when he entered the door, and then scold herself in front of everyone, and then pull herself away without saying anything, but she didn't expect that the first sentence Jian Qi said to herself was like this, Jian Ning was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Jian Qi sat down at the table by himself, and then saw that Jian Ning was still standing, and he didn't dare to look at himself, so he sighed and said, "Sit down, you are about to visit the church with Meng Tianchu's kid, after worshipping the church, you are a member of the Meng family, you can sit down and talk to your father." ”

Jian Ning couldn't help but feel sad when she heard Jian Qi say this, and sat down beside Jian Qi carefully, Jian Qi took Jian Ning's hand and put it in her palm and stroked it carefully, just like when Jian Ning was young, and gently patted it twice from time to time.

Jian Qi: "Ling'er, my father was very angry when he came just now, because you married yourself without your father's permission, which is not allowed in ordinary people's homes, do you know?" ”

Jian Ning snorted, "Dad...... I...... I'm sorry. ”

Jian Qi: "Ling'er, the person who should say I'm sorry is me, so many years, until today, no, I should say that I didn't know that I was sorry for you until the moment I stepped into this house, and I was sorry for your mother, you look very much like your mother back then, and your smile is almost like a god, alas...... Needless to say, today is a day of great joy, so let's talk about something happy. ”

Jian Ning's nose was sour, and tears fell on the back of Jian Qi's hand, Jian Qi held Jian Ning in his arms, it has been more than ten years, since Jian Ning's mother died, Jian Qi has not hugged his daughter like this again, he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know where to start, at this time the ear outside the door said: "Lord Jian, Seventh Lady, the auspicious time will come soon, don't make up your makeup, there is no time to make up your makeup." ”

Only then did Jian Qi come to his senses, and quickly wiped away the tears in front of Jian Ning's cheeks, and whispered: "Okay, Ning'er doesn't cry, today is your good day, you should laugh." ”

Jian Ning burst into tears and said, "Dad, I've been waiting for you to hug like this for thirteen years, Dad......"

The door opened, Feiyan and a few maids walked in, Feiyan said, "I'm sorry, Lord Jane, the auspicious time is coming, you better go to the front hall first, and we will touch up the makeup of the seventh lady." ”

Jian Qi stood up considerately and said to Feiyan politely, "Okay, I'll go out first, and my daughter will be handed over to you." ”

Feiyan nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Jane, I will definitely give you the most beautiful bride in the world." ”

Jian Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, patted Jian Ning's shoulder, and said, "Dad is waiting for you in the front hall, be good, don't cry." With that, he strode out.

The night finally quieted down in the hustle and bustle and playfulness, and the guests gradually dispersed, and the ears stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Adults go slowly, adults go slowly, all sedan chair drivers watch their feet, take the lanterns......"

Many people are drunk, the ears are actually a little drunk, the wind blows, as if drunk even more, send away the guests who are leaving one after another, the ears fall to the ground and go to their rooms, a person comes to the front, the ears hold up the lantern and look at it, immediately stand up straight and are about to bow down, the oncoming person hugged the shoulders of the ears, first hiccuped, the ears frowned slightly and then immediately showed a smiling face.

"You...... You...... Are you the ear? ”

Ear hurriedly bowed down and replied: "If you return to the country, the slave is exact." ”

The person who came was none other than Cheng Ziyi, who was invited to drink the wedding wine.

Cheng Ziyi smiled drunkenly and said, "How can you ...... How do you know it's me? ”

Ear smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the prestige of the Guogong, who doesn't know it?" ”

Cheng Ziyi laughed and patted the shoulder of the ear twice, after all, the ear is a scholar, where can I afford Cheng Ziyi, a perennial warrior who has fought on the battlefield, with a pair of big hands like this, I feel that I am about to be beaten down by Cheng Ziyi, Cheng Ziyi is even more happy, I walked to the door with my ear's shoulder, and my ear hurriedly ordered the next person to prepare a sedan chair, and then carefully helped Cheng Ziyi to get on the sedan chair, Cheng Ziyi took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the ear, and the ear took a look and said: "The heart of the prince of the country is understood, However, the master explained that he could not ask the guests for additional rewards, so the ears also asked the prince to take them back, and the ears did not dare to ask for them. ”

Cheng Ziyi narrowed his eyes, looked at his ears with a smile, and his ears stretched out his hand to hand over the silver to Cheng Ziyi, and Cheng Ziyi said, "Are you really fake?" ”

Ear: "The slave dares to ask the prince to take it back." ”

Cheng Ziyi joked: "Meng Tianchu still has such an obedient minion? I don't believe it anymore. After speaking, he suddenly bent down and pulled out a dagger from his boots and slashed it straight over, just when the dagger was only three millimeters away from the ear's hand, Cheng Ziyi stopped his hand, and saw that the ear's hand was still there and did not move, Cheng Ziyi was stunned, looked up at his ear, and said, "You know I'm drunk, why don't you hide?" ”

Ear smiled and said: "The slave knows that the prince is drunk and understands that he will not be embarrassed for a slave." ”

Cheng Ziyi was stunned at first, then laughed, put the dagger back into his boots, and then really took the silver in his ear hand back and put it in his arms, took a good look at his ear, and said, "You don't look like a housekeeper." ”

Ear still smiled, and said humbly: "Ear is the housekeeper of the Meng Mansion, a loyal minion, and the country is small on the national highway
