Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flying Snow on an Auspicious Day

Speaking of this, Xi Yiqian looked sad, "Zhi'er, this child has a hard life, he was born with a cold disease, lingering on the sickbed all the year round, and he was taken care of by his parents when he was young, but since he lost his mother at the age of eight, he has lived alone on the island, without his parents by his side, and without friends to accompany him, only a little scholar is by his side, which is really pitiful." I hope you can give him a little comfort, so that he will no longer be alone. ”

Although he had been living in the East Courtyard of the Overseer's Mansion for more than a month, Tong Yuqing was busy practicing martial arts during that time, and never asked Qing Ziting when his mother passed away and why he took the scholar to live on the island. It wasn't until today that she knew that Qing Ziting's situation was so bleak...... She didn't know how to answer for a while, Xi Yiqian didn't know that she was blaming herself, thinking that she was sorry for Qing Ziting, so she persuaded: "You don't have to be sad, fortunately, Zhi'er has a broad mind, never feels sorry for herself, and takes care of her life in an orderly manner. It's just that you're going to marry him, and there are some things I have to remind you of. The Overseers cherish him and want to give him almost everything he has, but he is always sensible and knows that he is not in a position to do anything, and he never fights with his brother. I know that you have been learning to handle official affairs with Lingzun since you were a child, and you have also heard of Miss Tong's reputation as a woman who does not let her eyebrows be shaved. I have no position to ask you to do anything, only hope. I hope that you can marry your husband and follow your husband, be ambitious, and teach your husband and children at home with peace of mind, and don't get involved in any endless struggle, this is the long-term way to keep you safe in the Lu family. ”

Tong Yuqing understood that Xi Yiqian hoped that she would not get involved in the battle for the reserve, and she could feel that Xi Yiqian really cared about her safety and cared about Qing Ziting's happiness.

She never had the intention of fighting for power, all she had done before was just to preserve the family's position in Pudong, and now that God had lifted the burden on her shoulders for her, she didn't want to get involved in political affairs anymore, she solemnly replied: "Yuqing remembers her aunt's teachings. ”

Xi Yiqian smiled: "You don't have to be too wronged by yourself, if you encounter unavoidable and unbearable difficulties, you must also remember to tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you deal with it." There are some people in the Overseer's Mansion who have always been overbearing, so I should have warned you, right? ”

Tong Yuqing looked dazed, Xi Yiqian looked at her and sighed: "Zhi'er is really a gentleman with a consistent heart, I thought that for the sake of filial piety, if he didn't tell his father and us, he would not be able to stand the blame and tell you, I didn't expect him to really have such good resilience, and he never said anything to anyone that she was not." Since he doesn't say it, then it's up to me to say it, the Overseer's wife has never been able to tolerate her beloved son, but I'm afraid that you will suffer innocently, and if she embarrasses you, you don't think about her being an elder, but also for my sake, let her have three points, but if she is too much, you must tell me. ”

Tong Yuqing replied: "Yes, thank you aunt for your love." ”

Xi Yiqian said: "The mansion prepared by the Overseers for your newlywed is some distance away from the Overseer's Mansion, and you shouldn't be able to meet her on New Year's Day, maybe my worries are unnecessary." ”

Tong Yuqing nodded and said, "Yuqing will definitely grasp the balance and not cause trouble to her aunt." ”

Xi Yiqian smiled faintly, "Okay, I've finished what I should say, I want Wei Yan to accompany me back to the room to rest, and your Uncle Gu, Wei Wei and Wei Hong will also go back to the official office to deal with official business, and my sister will tell you in detail about your daily life in the past two days and the etiquette and etiquette of the day after tomorrow." ”

Tong Yuqing got up and saluted, "Yuqing sends my uncle and aunt, and I congratulate my two brothers." ”

After a few people left, Gu Weiqing got up and stretched his waist comfortably, "It's really more tiring than I did all day......

Xi Yiling glared at him fiercely, Gu Weiqing said "oops", and smiled at Tong Yuqing: "Good sister, wait for the day after tomorrow my brother will send you a sedan chair to ensure that you meet your lover safely and smoothly." ”

Xi Yiling really wanted to kick him back to the room, but in front of Tong Yuqing, she could only walk up to him, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you get out of here?" ”

Gu Weiqing smiled and threw a wink at Tong Yuqing, "I'm gone, sister, you listen to my aunt's teachings." ”

Tong Yuqing couldn't help but close his eyes after he turned around, and secretly thought: This can't be a madman, right......

Over there, Xi Yiqian was holding her daughter on the way back to the room, and she asked softly: "My little Xiang'er seems to have something on her mind today, is the homework in the school too difficult?" ”

Gu Weiyan pursed his lips, "This matter is much more difficult than the homework in the school!" ”

Xi Yiqian asked, "Oh? What's the matter? Can you talk to your mother? ”

Gu Weiyan replied: "Fake smile at people, I really don't like to smile at people I hate!" ”

Xi Yiqian was even more strange, "You have always been kind to others, who can make you so annoying?" ”

Gu Weiyan said angrily: "That Tong Yuqing." ”

"It's the first time you've seen her today, and you've only said a word to her, what did she do wrong and violate your taboo?"

Gu Weiyan shook his head, "I didn't do anything, I just don't like her!" ”

Xi Yiqian laughed, and Gu Weiyan said angrily: "I'm so angry, my mother is still laughing!" ”

Xi Yiqian smiled slightly, "Then there should be a reason for your anger, where is there unwarranted disgust in the world?" ”

Gu Weiyan tugged at the hem of his skirt, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "I don't think she is worthy of respecting her brother." ”

Xi Yiqian was stunned for a moment, then rubbed her daughter's head with a smile, and sighed: "My Yan'er has grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who doesn't know the world......"

Gu Weiyan couldn't understand what his mother said, what did his hatred of Tong Yuqing have to do with growing up?

Xi Yiqian saw the incomprehension in her daughter's eyes, shook her head with a smile, and didn't say too deeply, "Since you were a child, your eldest brother has been wandering around, and the third brother has been with his father to take care of official business, only the second brother has leisure and can frolic with you, but it is not as good as the respected brother who has always coaxed you to be happy, right?" ”

Gu Weiyan nodded vigorously, "It's best to respect my dear brother!" ”

"So you want to be with him forever?"

"Of course, so that I can have delicious food every day......" Gu Weiyan suddenly remembered that his mother didn't like her greedy mouth, and then said, "Hmm...... If he reads to me every day, then I can remember any article, and I don't have to work so hard to endorse it, mother, do you remember my brother's favorite Nalan son? His words are so beautiful, and the words read by his beloved brother are even more beautiful! ”

Xi Yiqian put her mind at ease, her daughter is still not deeply involved in the world, "Of course I remember, your beloved brother is also like Nalan Gongzi, quiet and far-reaching." ”

Gu Weiyan shook his mother's arm and begged: "I don't like that Tong Yuqing, I don't want her to snatch my beloved brother, mother, can you help me drive her away?" ”

Xi Yiqian smiled and held her daughter's hand, "If this is all you are afraid of, then your mother can tell you for sure that she can't snatch away your beloved brother, and not only her, no one can snatch away your two little guesses, and your dear brother will always be the brother who loves you the most." ”

Gu Weiyan still didn't believe it, "Won't he ignore me because of Tong Yuqing?" ”

Xi Yiqian smiled: "No." Tong Yuqing is Tong Yuqing, you are you, he will never ignore you as a sister because of her. ”

"Really......"

Xi Yiqian hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "What you need to do now is to prepare a wedding gift for your beloved brother, and then happily give him the gift on the wedding day, and sincerely bless him." Mother assures you that not only will he not ignore you, but he will love you even more. ”

Gu Weiyan was skeptical, but in the end he chose to believe his mother and returned to the room to repeatedly check the gifts he had carefully prepared......

In the past, when Chouyin alternated, it was generally housewives and people who were anxious to work in the fields, but on this day, the men, women and children in the streets and alleys got up at the turn of Chouyin, freshened up and dressed up, and went to Hua'an Street, the main road of Ningtai, after breakfast. If the stars in the sky really have the spirituality of the eyes, they will definitely feel that Hua'an Street is the center of Ningtai, and hundreds of thousands of figures are gathering here under the reflection of bright lights. However, it didn't take long for the few stars to be obscured by a few clouds, and the snowflakes followed.

One woman sighed, "Oh my God! It's snowing, this is a good omen, as the saying goes, Granny Feng, Rain is virtuous, snow is a nobleman, if it's true, isn't Lu Ershao a nobleman who marries a nobleman? ”

The woman beside the man also said: "Yes, she is not an ordinary nobleman, she entered the door with the entire Pudong as a dowry to help the Overseer unify Puxizhou!" ”

The man said again: "Hey, I also heard the old man say that it snows when he gets married, and the bride is the mother's life, do you think it will be Lu Ershao who will win the world in the future?" ”

The man next to her had ignored the small talk of the two women, but when he heard this, he shouted, "Shut up! Chew the root of the tongue! This is not the home, what if you say this and someone hears it? Your whole family will be killed by you! ”

The same snow has different meanings in the eyes of different people. Some people think it's a good omen, and some people think it's a bad omen.

"Alas...... Why is it snowing for a happy event? Husbands and wives in the rain communicate with tears, and couples in the snow don't come to an end. ”

"The rain falls and the sky is weeping, and the snow is heavy and cloudy. I heard that this woman's parents had just died, and I was afraid that the snow fell because her parents in the underworld were dead. Let's go back, we don't have to get bad luck in order to receive the reward. ”

Everyone talked about it, but no matter whether it was auspicious words or bad words, they could not reach the ears of the people in the Gu Mansion, because the streets in front of the Gu Mansion had been guarded by the Heavenly Army to prevent the idle people from colliding with the nobles who came to Daoxi.

Tong Yuqing had already dressed in her wedding dress at this time, sat in her so-called boudoir, and let the bride fiddle. Although she knew that opening noodles was an indispensable link, she was also mentally prepared, but when she was really twisted off the first hair on her face with five-color cotton yarn by the bride, she still trembled in pain.

Seeing this, Xi Yiling held her hand, but found that her palms were full of cold sweat, "It seems that it hurts tightly, it's better to rest for a while and continue." ”

Tong Yuqing's face was pale, and she shook her head with a reluctant smile, "Morning pain and evening pain are all pains, it's better to do it in one go and finish the sin." ”

Although Xi Yiling has only been with Tong Yuqing for two days, she can see that Tong Yuqing is not an ordinary delicate and weak woman. Tong Yuqing's words made her admire even more, and also made her understand why Lu Tiansheng had to marry Tong Yuqing to Jingzhi.

Xi Yiling said softly: "Okay, Xi Niang, you try to be as light as possible, don't let Miss suffer too much." ”

After the makeup was opened, the sedan chair was just approaching the door, and everyone set off the cannon under the command of Steward Luo, and the sound was like thunder, even if they were far away in the suburbs, they could feel the joyful atmosphere.

Gu Weiqing closed the door happily, Gu Weiwei smiled and said, "Big brother, it's just covering the door, don't be so vigorous, really close the door tightly." ”

Gu Weiqing scolded with a smile: "Silly boy, didn't I want them to give red envelopes quickly?" ”

Before the words fell, someone had already stepped forward to hand over the red envelope, Gu Weiqing laughed and opened the door again. Gu Weihong lit the red candle, held the mirror, and shone into the sedan chair.

Gu Weiqing asked, "What is this?" ”

Gu Weiqing waited for a long time and didn't hear his brother's answer, so he couldn't help but look at him, and saw him staring at the red envelope in his hand with a smile, and couldn't help but hit him on the head with it, "Here you go, little wealth fan!" Can you say that now? ”

Gu Weiwei smiled and said, "Search the sedan chair, chase the ghosts." ”

Gu Weiqing sneered: "It's ridiculous, where is the ghost in this world?" There are ghosts, and there are ghosts in people's hearts. ”

"Big brother, you ......"

Gu Weiqing waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, it's okay for my father, mother and aunt to nag, you don't talk about me anymore, I just don't say it." There is also a serious matter to ask you, is there no formal banquet in our house today? ”

Gu Weiwei nodded, "The Overseer said that it would be good to let the guests go directly to the Golden Capital for a banquet, but some people still ran here. ”

Gu Weiqing snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of offending your father and losing your manners?" ”

Gu Weiwei said with a smile: "There are also people who really respect their father and work hard, but the eldest brother can't generalize like this." ”

This time, Gu Weiqing really felt that he had said the wrong thing, but his self-blame had not stopped, and he was covered by gluttonous insects, "Wei Hong and I sent the sedan chair out of Ningtai, and we are going to come back to pour fire ashes, I can't go to Jindu with you, I'm afraid that the wedding banquet will be halfway when we arrive, you remember to leave us something delicious, you know what we like to eat." ”

Gu Weiwei asked, "The main banquet wine is only opened in the evening, why can't you catch up?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you open the church after worshipping? ”

Gu Weiwei really admired this brother who didn't ask about the world from the bottom of his heart, he sighed: "Even if the church is opened after worshipping, you can catch up, the worship etiquette is complicated, where is it so fast?" ”

Gu Huaijue was talking to the people who came to congratulate him inside the door, but his eyes looked at the inner courtyard from time to time, when he saw a red figure walking slowly surrounded by everyone, he walked over and said to his two sons: "The bride is out, Weiqing, you are arrogant and presumptuous on weekdays, I can spare you, but you must not make a mistake today!" ”

Gu Weiqing pursed his lips, but in his heart, he counted the gift of giving a sedan chair and recited it silently.

Tong Yuqing and the others stopped in front of the door, and after the Lu family's bride urged her repeatedly, Xi Yiling took Tong Yuqing to sit on her lap and fed her a mouthful of food.

Gu Weiqing asked his younger brother in a low voice, "What is this statement?" ”

Gu Weiwei replied in a low voice: "Get on the sedan chair to eat." The daughter should sit on the mother's lap before getting on the sedan chair, and the mother will feed her a bite of sedan chair rice, which means not to forget the grace of nursing. This meal should have been fed by her mother, but her mother took pity on her aunt and had no daughter, so she let her experience what it was like to have a daughter. ”

After feeding, Xi Yiling cried: "After marrying, you must honor your in-laws and love your husband." ”

Tong Yuqing saw Xi Yiling's appearance, and thought that if her mother was alive, she was afraid that she would also send her to marry with tears in her eyes.

It's just that their crying and marriage have changed in Gu Weiqing's eyes, and he can't help sighing: "I really admire them, and they can really cry if they are hypocritical." ”

Gu Weiwei reminded in his brother's ear: "It's your turn, don't make a mistake." ”

Gu Weiqing walked over with a smile and said, "Aunt and sister, don't be sad anymore. ”

Xi Yiling wiped away her tears with Juanpa, and covered Tong Yuqing with a red hijab.

Gu Weiqing put Tong Yuqing's hand on his arm, helped her to the side of the sedan chair, and carried her to the sedan chair.

After she sat down, she only heard the master of ceremonies outside shouting: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”

The sound of artillery fighting that resounded in the sky once again crossed everyone's eardrums, Gu Weiwei sprinkled tea and rice grains to the top of the sedan chair, and Gu Weiqing and Gu Weihong followed the sedan chair on the left and right.

Tong Yuqing couldn't see the outside in the sedan car, but she could feel that after the corner, the shouting, noise and shouting on both sides of the street were obviously several times higher.

"It's coming, it's worthy of being the first family in Ningtai, marrying a daughter is such a big battle!"

"Where is the Gu family's daughter? This is the Lu family's wife. The Gu family is just in the name of marrying a daughter. ”

"Whether you are married or married, this meeting is rare in ten years, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is not so lively."

"Yes, didn't the Overseer say that today, no matter how high or low, anyone who can come to give a kiss, a greeting, or a greeting to a family will be given half a tael of silver? With so many people, how much money does he have to spend? ”

"Why do you care how much money he spends? People have the entire treasury, so you should worry about yourself. ”

"Also, it's really more popular than people, we are careful every day, and we can't even wait to pick off the flesh on the legs of flies, but some people spend money like dirt, it's all fate......"

I was fortunate enough to stand on the west side of Hua'an Street, and the woman who squeezed to the front saw that the sedan chair was such a beautiful man, and she couldn't help but feel like a deer, but the man still waved to the side of the street with a smile, which made it even more difficult to hold herself, "Look at you, he is waving to me." ”

The woman's companion said, "Where is it?" He was obviously waving to me. ”

"Nonsense, he's clearly saying hello to me!"

The woman next to the two said: "Next to such a man, it must be a stunning woman, you two are mediocre, what is there to argue?" ”

"You're a little better looking than the two of us, but you're not a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower, what qualifications do you ......have?"

Before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by the fourth woman who was traveling with her, "Okay, okay, let's say a few words, when I see that he is surrounded by a group of colors, it hurts a lot, why do you hurt the sisterhood for him?" With this leisure, it is better to learn from the woman in the eight-lift sedan chair and think about how to make yourself worry-free for the rest of your life......"

Tong Yuqing has been thinking about her heart for the past few days, and she has been sleeping less, and she is even more upset when she listens to the alternate and overlapping sounds of hundreds of thousands of people outside, but as long as she thinks of the big events of the day after tomorrow, she covers her ears and tells herself to calm down.

The chaotic sound finally faded into the second corner until it finally disappeared. It didn't take long for the sedan chair to slowly fall, Tong Yuqing walked out of the sedan chair with Gu Weiqing's support, got into a car, and then heard Gu Weihong's voice, "We can only send you here, Jindu to Ningtai is an hour's drive, if you use a sedan chair to carry you over, I'm afraid it will take a day, so we discussed using a sedan chair to send you out of Ningtai, and then use a car to send you to Jindu." When you arrive in Jindu, someone will pick you up in a sedan chair, and your parents will follow you by car when you leave the house, so you don't have to be afraid. ”

"Thank you."

Gu Weihong said softly: "You're welcome, you are a respected wife, and you are our Gu family's family." After speaking, Gu Weihong said to the driver again: "Be careful all the way, let's go." ”

After Tong Yuqing left, Gu Weiqing smiled and said to his younger brother: "It's just a marriage, why do you bother so much?" ”

Gu Weihong smiled: "If I don't share my father's worries, does my eldest brother want to come back and help my father worry about these things?" ”

Gu Weiqing laughed dryly, "Let's go back......"

The sky was beautiful, and the scattered snowflakes did not hinder the journey of pedestrians. Tong Yuqing rushed to the outskirts of Jindu before the hour, and when she sat in the sedan chair again, the snow was no longer dusty, and the morning light showed her delicate face, washing the gloom in the air.

At this time, Xiangrong Street is also like Hua'an Street in Fangcai, with bustling crowds and noisy and bustling. When a sedan chair with 9,999 small garnets, 880 yellow diamonds, and 66 rubies carved on all sides appeared in everyone's sight, the crowd was rarely quiet for a moment, but this moment was quickly annihilated by exclamations. Even if Tong Yuqing can't hear what people are talking about, she can guess probably, because when she saw the photo of the sedan chair yesterday, she was also embarrassed, but she was worried, the moon is full, and the victory is weak, she really doesn't know whether this extravagant wedding will bring her a blessing or a curse?

"Old man, you have good eyes, help me see, how many red stones are inlaid on the top of the sedan chair?"

"Oh, what a red stone, that's garnet, and besides, my eyes are not much better than yours, didn't you listen to the young man next to you who can't count?"

"What did you say?"

The old man leaned into his wife's ear and shouted, "I said I couldn't see clearly." ”

"Oh, this scene is really big, I think it's bigger than when his eldest son got married a few years ago."

"How can you compare a few years ago with now?"

"Hey, what year did his eldest son have a happy event?"

"Look at your memory, you just forgot what you just said."

"When did I say that?"

"Didn't you just say that this meeting was bigger than when his eldest son got married six years ago?"

"When did I say six years ago, I said a few years ago, and I said I don't have a good memory? I think you're forgetful. ”
