101 The first day of the capital
The Wang family's convoy finally entered the capital at the end of February, and even the Spring Festival was spent on the ship.
For this reason, I got more than ten days to prepare in the capital.
Wang Ding was also embarrassed, he was afraid that the Han family would look down on Wang Yuhe when he entered the city early, thinking that she couldn't wait to marry into the Han family, and he was afraid that the Han family would think that the Bai family's sincerity was insufficient, so he really invited a few etiquette experts to finalize the date of entering the city.
The Wang family naturally has a house in the capital, that is, Wang Yuhe has two or three wedding houses in the capital, but she can't live in the house and Zhuangzi where she is married before she gets married, so Wang Ding's yard has become Wang Yuhe's last "maiden home" before getting married.
Although Wang Ding is rich and rivals the country, but in the capital where a random stone can hit an official, he is low-key and modest, except for the marriage of his daughter, he only bought two properties in the capital, one is a three-story restaurant, with a three-entry courtyard in the back, and the other is a four-entry side by side house.
The restaurant and the house behind it have been rented out, so this time the Wang family all lived in another four-hall house.
After settling down the food, clothing, housing and transportation of a large family, Wang Ding went out.
Although this is his own house, it is much narrower than Wangjiazhuang in Baiyan City, at least Wang Yuhe only occupies a courtyard. Moreover, the house in the capital is not tall, and the space is relatively narrow, but Wang Yuhe has not yet had a deep experience. After all, he spent most of the time in a boat or a carriage for several months, so he didn't pay much attention to the slightly low houses in the capital at all.
They don't have a clear understanding of the life of merchants in the capital, the capital is dominated by politicians, and no matter how big the merchants are, they have to keep a low profile and abide by the rules. Before entering the capital, they didn't know how many teachings they had heard about not walking in the capital like this, and the adults had popularized it countless times, and the capital was no better than Bai Yancheng, and they must not be arrogant, and they must not easily offend anyone......
Such countless teachings made everyone who was full of longing for the capital can't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.
It was already afternoon when the carriage entered the city, and it was getting dark. The gate of the capital can be seen from afar, and a phoenix statue with wings about to fly above the city gate is lifelike, and a pair of eyes painted black look down at the city gate majestically, as if watching the crowd of people entering and leaving the city gate.
In fact, it is said that the phoenix statues on these four city gates really have a certain spiritual power, and it is said that when someone passed through the city gate with bad intentions, because they were intimidated by the momentum of the phoenix statue, they were delirious at the city gate, and they were captured by the city guard general at that time. As for the end of the man, it was not reported, but the prestige of the Phoenix statue guarding the city really spread.
Because of curiosity, before entering the city gate, Liu Ye and Wang Yuhe each lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked at the famous statue.
I don't know if it's because it's been a long time, and today's phoenix statue doesn't have that kind of deterrence, it just looks very majestic. Putting down the curtain, Liu Ye said, "Miss, what do you think of the phoenix statue?" ”
Wang Yuhe thought back and said, "Very imposing! ”
Liu Ye nodded, thinking that the statue was lifelike anyway, although he hadn't really seen the phoenix, but this statue was integrated, making people feel that the phoenix should really look like this!
The city wall is very thick, and only after the passage of three carriages can you see the interior of the capital.
Although it is close to the city gate, there are small vendors not far from the city gate, and pedestrians stop to stop by, which is a lively scene. Although the Wang family's motorcade has been as low-key as possible, the convoy is too long, and it still makes pedestrians look sideways after all.
The more he walked, the more unhappy Wang Yuhe became, and Liu Ye sighed secretly.
What did the Wang family do when they came to Beijing, the Han family should know it, and they had already sent a message to the Han family in Peacock City, even if it was out of etiquette today, they should send someone to the city gate to greet them, and they should do their best to be a landlord. But seeing that the Wang family's convoy had entered the city for more than half an hour, no one came to talk.
This is really disrespectful to the Wang family.
Wang Ding's face also darkened in the carriage.
In the backyard of the Han family, Han Lei was being reprimanded by Second Mrs. Han.
"Tell me about you, tell you to meet your father-in-law, you haven't even gone until now, what do you make the Wang family think!"
Second Mrs. Han's chest rose and fell angrily, and she was called over by her sister-in-law just now, and she was openly and secretly sarcastic, saying that Han Lei's behavior made the Han family ridiculed for not knowing etiquette, and she didn't know who taught her. Isn't this scolding her for not educating her son well?
Han Lei in front of her is her youngest son, the third in the family, born with a face like Fu Fan, lips painted Zhu, is really a beautiful young man, he has not hurt him since he was a child, but unfortunately this child has not been able to do anything over the years, and he has no achievements in running a shop, the Han family is not so indulgent to idlers, the Han family looks at ability and usefulness, not face.
Therefore, Han Lei is actually not so popular at home, so this kind of thing will fall on his head to marry the distant Wang family of Baiyan City.
Han Lei's face was unswerving, he was having a good time, and he was called over to scold, but he also knew that in the Han family, only his mother was still protecting him, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously at the moment, so he had to say: "My son knows, so I will go to the Wang family's house to ask my father-in-law for peace." ”
Second Mrs. Han relented and said, "Find a better excuse to explain things clearly." ”
"Yes! Mother. ”
Second Mrs. Han stood up and walked over to take Han Lei's hand, and said, "Lei'er, you are going to get married soon, and it's time to take your heart away!" Mother has obtained your father's consent, and the two-entry yard in the backyard will make you a new house, and when you come back this evening, you will go over and see if there is any place to rest, and hurry up and say, there is still time to change it. ”
Han Lei just showed a smile, he now lives in the outer courtyard, but there are only three rooms and one side room.
Only then did he become less disgusted with getting married, after all, because he needed to get married, he could get the two-entry courtyard!
"My son knows!" Han Lei bowed: "In this way, my son will go and come back quickly!" ”
He turned and walked out.
Second Mrs. Han looked at his distant back, and she was extremely helpless in her heart, she didn't want to find a daughter-in-law for her son so far away, after all, her mother's family basically couldn't help Han Lei. She really hopes to find a proper family for Han Lei, a well-informed daughter-in-law, not someone who doesn't know what to say about in the far area.
But their second room is not taken seriously, and Han Lei is even nineteen years old before he has only one shop, and he is obviously not treated by the family at all, so the big house has set this family business for Han Lei, and she, a mother, is not qualified to refute!
Han Lei went out, got into the carriage and ordered to go to the Wang family's house, and finally arrived at the door of the Wang family's house before the Wang family's convoy arrived, and caught up with the carriage to greet Wang Ding.
Wang Ding got out of the carriage, and when he saw that the person supporting him was Han Lei, he was stunned for a moment, Han Lei raised his head and smiled at him, and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law failed to go to the city gate to greet him for some reason, so I came to ask for sin." ”
Wang Ding's eyes flickered for a moment, but he still showed a smile and said, "Oh, it's you, it's okay, anyway, we have been to this capital before, so we won't be unable to find the direction." ”
Pedaled off the carriage, Wang Ding let go of Han Lei's hand with a smile.
Han Lei lowered his eyes, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
However, he hid his emotions very well, and accompanied Wang Ding into the house in a low voice, never thinking of looking back to see where Wang Yuhe's carriage was.
Although Wang Ding felt a little disappointed, he felt that Han Lei was taking into account the number of courtesies, so he didn't say anything.
However, when Wang Yuhe got out of the car later, he heard that Han Lei had accompanied Wang Ding into the house, and his heart suddenly became nervous and excited. The hand holding the willow leaf trembled slightly.
Liu Ye smiled secretly, saying that he didn't look forward to it, but what did he care about now!
The female dependents all went into the backyard, packed up, Wang Yuhe changed a set of clothes and waited for his father to ask him to invite to meet the guests, who knew that no one came to invite them late at night, and sent someone out to inquire, saying that Wang Ding's yard had already been locked, and the guests had already left.
I can't tell if it's sad or disappointed, Wang Yuhe slowly changed his clothes and went to the clean room to bathe, this time it was a long time, Liu Ye was waiting outside, and he became more and more worried. The worse Wang Yuhe's mood is, the longer she bathes, and she doesn't let anyone in to serve, and every time at the end, the water in the bathtub is cold, and I don't know how she lasted so long in that cold water.
She's just a teenage girl.,When you encounter something that makes you sad, you can only use this way to calm down or vent.,It seems that the more sensible the child, the more distressing it is.。
When she got up the next day, Wang Yuhe returned to normalcy and asked Liu Ye to pack her luggage, which was considered a holiday for her today.
Liu Ye went to ask someone to move all the luggage he could use, and the rest of the dowry was packed up and taken care of. It was only noon when she finished these things, she found the tassel and they had lunch together, and when she heard that Wang Yuhe didn't do anything today, she was just resting, and she didn't call her, so she went back to the room to make up for sleep.
When she woke up in the afternoon, she felt a little bored, all the sisters in the room were not there, so she dressed up and went to Wang Yuhe's room, but Wang Yuhe went to Wang Yuluan to visit her second sister-in-law.
Liu Ye went back to the room, and felt that there was nothing to do, so he looked around the house to familiarize himself with the environment of the house. Wang Yuhe is still in a better yard behind Wang Ding's house, and Wang Yuluan and his wife's yard is afraid of it. In fact, this yard is really not big, just raise your legs. When Wang Yuhe came back, he happened to see willow leaves running around the yard, so he beckoned her to follow her and go to Wang Yuning. Liu Ye hurriedly followed her to the front yard.
