Chapter 551: Welcoming Relatives (2)
In fact, before the royal dowry came on the eighth day of the fifth month, the residents in this area did not know that the country girl who was rumored to marry the prince lived in Nanqing Hutong, but as soon as the mighty 160 dowry was over, Zeng Rong's family became a well-known hot person, and it also became a hot topic after people's tea and dinner.
Therefore, when the honor guard of the relatives came, the nearby residents rushed to tell each other, and after a while, the streets on both sides of the road were surrounded by airtight, and they followed Zhu Heng all the way to the mouth of Nanqing Hutong.
But because of the narrow entrance of the alley and the royal guards blocking it, these people couldn't follow the alley, and many strong young students climbed the walls or trees of the houses in the alley, and dared to wave to Zhu Heng.
Ouyang Si, Zeng Fuxiang, Zeng Guixiang and others had been welcoming for a long time, and when they saw Zhu Heng being picked up from his horse, the guards on the side took the horse away, and hurriedly lit the firecrackers that had been set up long ago.
Seeing this, Xiao Quanzi and a few other eunuchs also picked up a basket of new and new big copper coins and prepared to scatter them to the crowd at the door, Zhu Heng saw this and stopped them, he was afraid that the coaxing of these people would affect the crowd standing on the wall and watching the lively crowd, afraid that they would fall off the wall in a hurry.
So, he smiled gently at them and reminded them not to step on others or fall themselves when they jumped.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people accidentally fell off the wall, and many people stumbled a few times. It turned out that they were stunned by Zhu Heng's smile, didn't stand firmly, and accidentally fell down.
Fortunately, the wall is not high, Rao is so, Zhu Heng also ordered someone to visit them, and learned that it did not hurt the muscles and bones, so Zhu Heng ordered someone to throw a few handfuls of money on them, in order to celebrate.
Zhu Heng's scene not only fell in the eyes of these onlookers, but also in the eyes of the accompanying officials, in the eyes of the Zeng family's visitors, and naturally it also reached the ears of Mrs. Xu and Zeng Rong.
It's a pity that the interpretations in the eyes of these people are different, and most of the people in the market are lamented by Zhu Heng's kindness and peace, so they understand why he would marry a civilian girl; What the accompanying officials thought was that Zhu Heng's innocence and nature did not match his identity, and it might not be a good thing; In the eyes of the Zeng family, including Ou Mu and Bai and others, they are glad that Zeng Rong can marry a good man, not to mention his talent and appearance, but he is still so gentle and understanding, but his identity is still very noble.
And Mrs. Xu and Zeng Rong thought about the same, Zhu Heng's kindness and purity are innate, this kind of person is wrapped up in the battle for imperial power, is it fortunate or unfortunate?
However, there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, Zhu Heng's appearance, especially his smile, is indeed worthy of his name, and he really has his own halo, otherwise, there is no need for someone to be stunned and fall off the wall.
"I only understood a sentence today, it's better to see than to hear, it turns out that someone really looks so good-looking, seeing his smile, he can forget all his troubles, probably the rumored Pan An who threw the fruit is nothing more than that, right?" Seeing that the old lady didn't seem to believe it, Bai sighed again.
Old Madam Xu glanced at her, but didn't say anything, she held up the phoenix crown with her own hands, put it on for Zeng Rong herself, and then helped her cover her head.
"Take care of him, it's still the same sentence, be cautious in your words and deeds." When Mrs. Xu got up, she took her hand and admonished.
"Yes, Ah Rong remembers." After speaking, Zeng Rong originally wanted to kowtow to her, but first, the wedding dress on her body was too cumbersome, her movements were slower, and secondly, the other party stopped her first.
So, Zeng Rong only curtsy to the other party.
When Zeng Rong put on a phoenix crown and put on a hijab and was led into the front yard, Zhu Heng was drinking tea accompanied by Ouyang Si, Zeng Fuxiang and Zeng Guixiang, saying that he was drinking tea, but his mind was not on the tea, and his eyes swept the porch leading to the backyard from time to time.
When Ah Mei and Ah Chun appeared on the porch with Zeng Rong, who was dressed in red, Zhu Heng's eyes stopped moving for a moment, and his mind was blank.
Before, he heard that almost all brides were the same appearance, with a red hijab, and he couldn't see any faces, and when he wore a red wedding dress, he couldn't see his size, but when his bride appeared in front of him, he knew that it was different, very different.
How to say, there is joy, surprise, peace, peace, and shock.
After a long while, Zhu Heng, who came back to his senses, flashed a poem in his mind that he had read a long time ago, "... Yi Yan added, and Zi Yizhi. It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with children. Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet... ”
Perhaps, this is the married life he yearns for, ordinary, ordinary, fulfilling, simple, and quiet.
It's a pity that his background is destined for his bloody life, even if he wants to retreat, the other party will not give him a way to live, so he can only be coerced forward.
Thankfully, he found her.
Luckily, he had her by his side.
Xiao Luzi saw that the master was staring at the bride without blinking, and hurriedly stepped forward to push him over, Zhu Heng had completely recovered at that time, and first made a long bow to Mrs. Xu.
Old Madam Xu avoided it for a while, and only accepted half a salute, but gave Zhu Heng a full salute in return, and said, "The old body handed her over to you, and please treat her well." ”
"Don't worry." Zhu Heng only replied with two words firmly.
Next, it should be to say goodbye to his parents, because Zeng Rong's parents were not there, they were temporarily replaced by Zeng Fuxiang and his family, Zhu Heng also made a long bow to them, Zeng Rong stood beside him, and was supported by Ah Chun to kowtow, and then Zeng Guixiang carried him out of the door, until he reached the entrance of the alley, and sent into the sedan chair.
At that time, the dowry had already gone first, and a pair of barmen wearing red shoulders and black trousers carried the dowry out of the alley.
Soon, a voice came into Zeng Rong's ears, as if someone said that this dowry was much more than the dowry brought in, for this reason, some people questioned her identity, isn't she from the countryside? How can you afford a dowry of more than 200?
Some people also explained for her, saying that the Xu family sent a lot of them, and what the Qian family also sent a lot, and some people found out that the Qian family was Zhu Heng's maternal grandfather's house, and it was the first queen's maiden family, for this reason, some people questioned that these dowries were actually purchased by Zhu Heng for her.
Fortunately, after questioning, there are many envy and ridicule, and there are few, and soon the voice is overshadowed by the envy, after all, the living Zhu Heng is in front of everyone, who doesn't want to marry such a handsome person, not to mention, he is still a prince, a noble prince!
The corners of Zeng Rong's mouth finally curved.
She was really afraid of affecting Zhu Heng's reputation.
