Chapter 1186: Hiding from laziness
Xie Xianzhi's back Xie Yinghui went out on the way to the sedan chair, and the brother and sister whispered something, and others didn't know. Anyway, Huang Yan happily took the bride home, and the four brothers-in-law had to follow him to the banquet. The bride Xie Yinghui married into the Huang family for the first time, and basically nothing went wrong.
Xie Mulin and his two younger sisters had to stay at home and accompany their parents to receive the neighbors and friends who came to congratulate him. It's just that Xie Yingfen has been standing next to Aunt Xie Meijun in front of and behind, Xie Yingrong went to the side of the mother and daughter of the Wan family, and Xie Mulin stood alone in front of the door, watching the sedan chair that the eldest sister Xie Yinghui was sitting in the distance, her eyes were wet, and she sighed in her heart.
Even if you know that after Xie Yinghui gets married, she doesn't live far away, and she will be able to return to her door in two days, and if you want to go back to her parents' house to see it in the future, you can leave at any time. Mrs. Huang has such a good temper, and she is also a frequent visitor to the Xie family, she will definitely not stop her daughter-in-law from going out, and maybe she will accompany her when the time comes—however, the eldest sister is married, and she will follow her husband and mother-in-law south to the capital soon, and it is impossible to live with the Xie family again. Xie Mulin remembered that since she crossed over, except for the first few months, she had been with Xie Yinghui almost every day, and now that she was suddenly separated, she was still very reluctant in her heart.
In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, there are no photos or videos, and I miss my relatives, so I can only rely on my brain to make up, which is really frustrating.
Xie Mulin sniffed and wiped away a handful of tears, the silk handkerchief in his hand was already soaked. This thing is really not as good as a cotton handkerchief.
A hand reached out from the side and handed her a pale blue handkerchief. Xie Mulin looked down and always felt familiar, turned his head to look, and found that it was Zhu Rui who came. She couldn't help but blink, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhu Rui smiled: "I am the son-in-law of the Xie family, and the Xie family has a happy event?" If I'm not at home, where should I be? "It's just that he has been staying in the outer courtyard since he entered the door of the Xie family? I didn't run to the inner house. Is he a male guest? Haven't officially married the daughter of the Xie family yet? Naturally, it is not good to go to the inner courtyard crowded with women. But he was not idle, and he was still helping to greet guests as the son-in-law of the Xie family, when Xie Pu and his wife went to the backyard? He also helped to talk to the groom Huang Yan and the relatives and friends of the Huang family who came to greet him.
Others saw him at first with a kind and calm attitude? Just if he is the son of an ordinary official eunuch, he is likely to be the one who wants to marry Miss Xie Si - because Miss Xie is going to marry the prince of the palace, and Miss Xie San's fiancé is still in the capital? Only Miss Xie's marriage is unclear - until Huang Yan calls him "Lord of the County"? Does everyone know who he really is? Taken aback. But Zhu Rui didn't have a stand in front of the guests? On the contrary, he is always emphasizing his identity as the "son-in-law of the Xie family".
When the bride comes out? All eyes turned to a new couple? Xie Mulin was only staring at his eldest sister, and he didn't notice his fiancé talking to the guests in the hall for a while, so he was surprised.
However, after Xie Mulin was surprised, he was still very happy, and reached out to take the handkerchief and bowed his head to wipe his tears: "It's good that you can come." In the morning, Lord Changshi of your Yanwang Mansion came to congratulate? And then leave first? I thought your house wouldn't show up today. ”
Zhu Rui smiled: "Changshi represents my father? Am I here as my own? How can this be the same? He added, "Yongping is also quite curious, want to come over to see the excitement?" It's just that the princess dragged her into the Forbidden City to accompany the Queen Mother, and she really couldn't make the trip. ”
Xie Mulin was curious: "When is the Queen Mother going to move to Zizhu Courtyard?" ”
Zhu Rui smiled and said without answering: "The person who greeted the relatives has gone far, let's go back and talk?" This is the tuyere, eat the wind carefully, and turn around with a stomachache. ”
When Scemulin heard this, he did not object, and returned home with him. The front yard and the main courtyard and the guest house have ten seats today, and all the guests who come to thank the family to congratulate them have already been erected at this time, and the shack is full of people, and it is lively. Xie Pu and Wen Shi spoke at the male and female tables respectively, greeting the guests who came to congratulate them, and ordered some fruit plates, refreshments and the like for everyone to chat while eating first, and the maiden woman sent the incense ordered in advance to various places, so as not to disturb the mosquitoes that disturbed the scenery. Seeing this hustle and bustle, Xie Mulin simply motioned for Zhu Rui to follow him, and the two bypassed the verandah, avoiding the sight of others, and turned to the back house.
When the two passed by Xie Xianzhi's courtyard, they met Jiang Pu coming out of it, and they were about to go to the small banquet set up by the Wen family for the big girl and the housekeeper to have a drink, and when they saw them enter the inner house, they showed a surprised expression.
Calamus is waiting for the son of the Xie family, who has a calm temperament, and now he also has the temper of a big sister. She said to Xie Mulin hintly: "Girl, where are you going with the prince of the county?" Do you want to talk to your wife? Shouldn't you send some tea and snacks later? ”
Xie Mulin smiled: "It's okay, I'll take Brother Rui to my second brother's courtyard to sit down." There were people everywhere outside, and it was so noisy that it was inconvenient to talk. Xie Jinzhi's courtyard should be quite quiet at this time, he himself and his brothers followed the sedan chair to the Huang family, and his girls also went to the banquet, at most there were two people watching the house, which was convenient for Xie Mulin and Zhu Rui to talk.
If it is in Xie Jinzhi's courtyard, it is the territory of the young masters, not where the girls live, and occasionally there will be outsiders to sit down, so there are not so many taboos. Jiang Pu hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Then I will tell the hosta and the peach in a while, and ask them to bring refreshments to the prince and the girl." ”
Xie Mulin waved his hand: "No need, let's just sit down and be lazy." There are so many guests ahead, I can't expect the third and fourth sisters to entertain the girls and ladies who came to the door today. "The two concubines are a little lightweight, but I am afraid that the daughters of a few high-ranking officials and eunuchs will feel neglected.
When Jiang Pu heard this, he didn't say more, but said: "There is freshly brewed hot tea in our courtyard, so I will send it to the prince and the girl." Without waiting for Xie Mulin to answer, he turned around and entered the courtyard gate.
Xie Mulin spread his hands to Zhu Rui, Zhu Rui smiled, took advantage of the fact that no one in the aisle was paying attention, took his fiancée's hand, and pulled her into the courtyard of his brother-in-law Xie Jinzhi.
Xie Jinzhi's yard is very neat and elegant, there are stone tables and stone chairs in one corner of the yard, and a few bushes of green bamboos are planted, which are suitable for shade and coolness in the scorching summer sun. Zhu Rui pulled Xie Mulin to sit down on the stone chair, and after a while, Jiang Pu brought tea over—it was already warm at this time. After delivering the tea, she went to the door and found a shady place, sat down and fanned the wind. Anyway, she was quite far away from Xie Mulin and Zhu Rui, and she couldn't hear anything, but she could be a sentry for her girl and future uncle, and keep an eye on anyone passing by at any time.
Seeing this, Xie Mulin secretly laughed and winked at Zhu Rui: "Look, are all the girls in our family very smart?" ”
Zhu Rui nodded with a smile, and said, "In another month, in fact, it doesn't matter if they don't have to be so clever." ”
Xie Mulin blinked: "So, His Royal Highness King Yan has already decided on the matter of the early marriage?" So what are you going to tell my daddy? ”
