The days pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it will be the day when Mu Zhengyi will marry his wife. Gu Yilan's father was still in Ningling and couldn't come back, but Gu San's grandmother rushed back to the capital with Gu Yilan's eldest brother.

On April 21, the Gu family sent someone to send Gu Yilan's personal supplies other than dowry, and the Anguo Mansion held a banquet to entertain Gu Yilan's parents. This kind of thing is usually done by the relatives of the bride and groom, so on this day, Gu Yilan's sibling brother personally held Gu Yilan's mirror box, brought a few cousins to deliver things, and sat at the Anguo Mansion on behalf of the Gu family.

Because of the special nature of the Anguo Mansion, although Gu Yilan and Mu Zhengyi have been engaged for a few months, the two families have not had much contact, and they are very unfamiliar with each other. The Gu family came to Gu Yilan's own brother and several cousins, and Mu Zhengyi brought his younger brothers and sisters to entertain him in the Anguo Mansion.

The meal was very polite, the Gu brothers were polite and polite, the Mu brothers and sisters were polite, everyone drank three wines in accordance with the etiquette regulations, moved a few chopsticks slightly, and the Gu brothers stood up and said goodbye. This seat only sat for two quarters of an hour at most, and it was not at all as lively as the banquet of the Yue family before the marriage of others.

The children sat with the Gu family in the flower hall, while the ladies in the back house were busy decorating the new house. The bride's personal belongings should be sent to the house and arranged in the new house in advance, so that the bride will feel like she is going home on the first day of the wedding.

It's busy inside and out, and it's busy until it's dark. After Shen Shi, Mrs. Mu had dinner in the house, but the Anguo Mansion was not in the mood to eat from top to bottom, everyone got together, but everyone looked absent-minded, and only the youngest Mu Jinyi ate two bowls of rice without heart and lungs.

After dinner, Mrs. Muhammad had something to do, but she told the children to go to bed early, because the next day was the first day to welcome their relatives, and everyone had to get up early. Duchess An Guo personally sent Mu Hongshang back to her yard and watched her wash and go to bed.

On April 22, the guests of the Anguo Mansion feasted, and Mu Zhengyi, the son of the Mu family, welcomed his relatives. The last time the guests of the Anguo Mansion had such a big banquet was when General Shuobei married his wife more than ten years ago, and after so many years, the Mu family finally had a happy event again.

On this day, the Anguo Mansion really got up and down early, and even the children got up earlier than when they went to morning school. And the mother of the house, Mrs. An Guo, and the serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Mu Er, had already gotten up to prepare in less than five watches.

Mu Hongshang also got up early and dressed neatly, on this day, she actually couldn't be a beautiful screen, and Duchess An Guo sent her a lot of work. The first thing she did when she got up was to hug Mu Biying and babbled for a long time, for fear that Biying would run out of the door and scare the guests on this day.

Mu Biying glanced at Mu Hongsheng lazily, as if she disliked her nagging, and turned her head directly to the nest, looking like she was ready to sleep for a day.

"Miss, why don't you lock the door?" While combing Mu Hongsheng's hair, Lotus Ye nagged uneasily: "There are many guests at home today, and it will be bad if Biying runs out." ”

"No, you don't." Mu Hongshang shook her head very confidently: "Biying understands, it will definitely not go out today." ”

"But...... Alas! Never mind! Lotus Ye wanted to say something more, but finally shook her head: "Miss, hurry up and change your clothes, go to the old lady's house for breakfast before you go out, but you can't sit in a sedan chair on an empty stomach." ”

That's right, Mu Hongshang is also going to sit in a sedan chair today. Dotted Library

The Mu family is scarce, there are not many relatives in Beijing, and there are few contacts with the noble family in Beijing, this time Mu Zhengyi married a wife, although he was a guest at the banquet, but the real "relatives and friends" who could fill the scene for the wedding ceremony were barely counted as only the Prince Li's mansion.

However, Gu Yilan is the granddaughter of the first-class Gu scholar of the current dynasty, and Mrs. Mu has the heart to save face for her granddaughter-in-law, so according to Mrs. Mu's intentions, the wedding ceremony should still be extremely grand.

According to the courtesy system, the team of the wedding is also the face of the bride, generally speaking, the noble family to five sedan chairs to greet the family, walking in the front is the groom on horseback, followed by the status of the noble team, the identity of the team is of course the higher the better, next, is the sedan chair team.

According to the grade of the Anguo Mansion, five sedan chairs greet relatives, front and back are four by four people carrying a small sedan chair, and the middle is the eight people who will ride the sedan chair.

Among the four small sedan chairs, one of the first two rides is for the lady to sit on, and the other is empty first, and when the sedan chair comes back, it is given to the wife to ride. The two-seater sedan chair followed by the sedan chair is for boys and girls with both parents.

The Mu family has few relatives, and Duchess An Guo is too lazy to go to Prince Li's mansion to "borrow children", so she simply let Mu Hongsheng and Mu Jinyi, the youngest in the family, sit in a sedan chair to accompany Mu Zhengyi to greet their relatives. These things are easy to say, but the only thing that makes Duchess An Guo worry for a while is the list of welcoming relatives.

Who to ask for help to welcome the relatives, Duchess An Guo was really worried for a long time, but this problem was finally solved by the emperor. Obviously, the emperor also thought that An Guogong's family, as a lonely minister, did not have a close relationship in Beijing, so he generously made an order to ask his two sons who had been crowned kings to help the eldest prince of the Mu family welcome his relatives.

Therefore, on this day, the welcoming team of the Anguo Mansion is really very decent, behind Mu Zhengyi, one left and one right on two horses, sitting is King Yi and King Xin in brocade dresses, and behind King Yi and King Xin, are the two sons of Prince Li who were crowned county kings.

Although the number of people is small, the welcoming procession of these two princes and the two county kings is already first-class and decent. Not to mention the lady who sat in the first sedan chair, the sister-in-law of the Duchess of Anguo, the princess of Cheng'en County, and the boy and girl who pressed the feet of the sedan chair are the young son of the general of Youzhou and the pearl of the palm of the Duke of Anguo.

When the welcoming team arrived at the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, the princess of Li, who was the matchmaker, also arrived early, the princess of Cheng'en County urged her to make up, and the princess of Li personally helped to cover her hijab, and Gu Yilan, who was wearing the phoenix crown and xia curtain given by the queen's mother, was helped out of the room.

Her brother bent down at the door, and Fang Xin and Fang Zhi, who were dressed up in fancy clothes, helped Gu Yilan onto the back of the Gu family's brother.

At this time, Grandma Gu San, who was guarding the side, suddenly cried again, as if she was very reluctant to let her daughter be married off like this.

Alas! Gu Yilan, who was lying on her brother's back, sighed slightly, and her heart was complicated and indescribable. In fact, she should also cry, if she gets married, she will be someone else's family in the future. I remember the day she married Zheng Chongjing in her last life, she cried very sadly when she left home.

But now ...... Sad? Reluctant? Actually, there is, but she really can't cry!!
