Chapter 118: Watching Marriage
October 22 is the day Xie Pei got married.
Five or six days ago, the second grandmother Cao Shi went to Cuiweiju first, and conveyed the invitation of Mrs. Wu, the grandmother, and asked Li Ran to watch the ceremony at Cao's Mansion on the twenty-second day.
Then Wang Ji sent someone to ask if she was going to Cao's house to watch the ceremony, or to the Xie family's Zhuangzi to watch her son-in-law.
Li Ran called into Mama Sang and asked her what she meant.
Mama Sang's suggestion was simply direct: go to Caofu.
The Cao family and the Li family are in-laws who can no longer be close, although the Xie family is a family in the future, but after all, they have not married at this time.
Li Ran sent a message to Wang Ji: she planned to go to Cao's Mansion to watch the ceremony.
Early in the morning of the 22nd, Wang Ji arrived outside the side gate of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and together with Li Ran, went to the restaurant across the street from Cao's Mansion.
This is Wang's suggestion.
According to Wang Ji's opinion, this shows that the first thing to do is to look at the dowry.
Those who carry the dowry, as usual, should find young and neat, energetic young people, even people with dowry and children, dressed in red and green, energetic, jubilant, against the dowry on the glittering gold and precious stones, silk and antiques, connected into a long river of wealth and wealth with great joy, it is really beautiful.
Li Ran and Wang Ji went up to the private room on the second floor, pushed open the window, and from a distance, they saw the long river of dowry, surrounded by human flow, flowing slowly.
This dowry, as Wang Ji said, is indeed very good-looking.
The dowry bearers are all young and good-looking offspring, dressed in new clothes with black and red edges, stepping on the drum, walking two steps and pausing for a pause, so that the idlers along the way can see clearly what he is carrying.
Li Ran couldn't stop laughing.
No wonder from Mrs. Xie to the second grandmother, they are so persistent about the dowry, and this beautiful marriage is indeed indispensable for such a dowry.
"Ah Niang said that Ah Pei's dowry is almost thirty percent more than that of her cousin."
Wang Ji stood next to Li Ran, watching and introducing.
"A-Niang said that this is thanks to you, grandma is very happy now, when Apoi packed up the dowry, grandma read it and added a little, more and more.
There is also the Lu Guogong Mansion, which has also added a lot of things, my cousin has added a trip, and Mrs. Liu has added another trip, all of which are very generous.
Look at that lift, that branch of coral, it was added by Princess Du.
On the day Princess Du added makeup, Ah Niang was also there, so she said that she was obviously in-law with Cao Fu, why did she come to Ah Pei to add makeup?
Princess Du said that in-laws belong to in-laws, and makeup is added to makeup. ”
"It's the makeup that you and Ah Pei have in love, right?" Li Ran looked at Wang Ji and smiled.
"I think she's in a good mood, anyway, their palace has silver."
Wang Yi smiled generously.
Li Ran thought about Xie Ze's Zhuangzi and snorted.
Xie Ze never paid attention to industrial property, there were still so many Zhuangzi fields, and there would only be more of Hejian County Wangfu, and it was indeed silver.
The dowry was almost over, and Li Ran and Wang Jian came out of the restaurant and went to Cao's mansion.
The eldest aunt of the Cao family, the wife of the prince of Hejian County, Cao, the second aunt and grandmother, and the second grandmother of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, with several daughters-in-law of the clan, stood in the second gate to greet the distinguished guests.
Seeing Li Ran and Wang Ji get out of the car, Grandma Cao Er greeted her with a smile, and Mrs. Cao hurriedly instructed a mother-in-law: "Go and invite the fourth sister, the sixth lady and the fourth lady are here!" ”
Li Ran smiled, watched Wang Yi greet Cao Er's grandmother first, and then laughed with Mrs. Cao a few words, and then joined her, as soon as she entered the Moon Cave Gate, Cao Siniang carried her skirt and hurriedly greeted her.
With Cao Si Niangzi, it became lively all of a sudden.
"The fourth sister is good, the sixth sister is good, the sixth sister is going to get married in a few days, let's say okay, I must go to beat my son-in-law!
I also want to beat the son-in-law of the fourth sister's family!
Alas, I can fight the son-in-law of the sixth sister's family, and the son-in-law of the fourth sister's family, I think I will definitely not be able to fight!
I was looking at the third sister-in-law's dowry just now, it's all good things! Would you like to check it out?
You're late, and the courtyard of the new house is already guarding the door to prevent people from entering.
However, the third sister-in-law's dowry is too much, and the yard of the new house can't be placed, so it's placed in the yard next to it, do you want to take a look? ”
Cao Siniang's words never stopped.
"We came here after looking at the dowry, you better take us to find a place to rest first, have a good cup of tea, eat two snacks, and look at the dowry all morning, and we are tired."
Wang Ji unceremoniously pushed Cao Siniang and smiled.
"Are you tired of looking at the dowry? I don't get tired all day.
Then let's go to Huifang Pavilion, everyone is there, it's close to the main hall, and when the bride arrives, let's run quickly and grab the best place to watch the excitement.
This time it was our family who married a daughter-in-law, that is, the one that invited a son-in-law was the best! ”
Cao Siniang continued to tink.
Li Ran couldn't stop laughing.
There is a lady like Cao Siniang, it is really festive and lively.
……………………
Outside the city, Xie Jiabei Village.
Old Madam Shen and Old Man Xie sent Xie Pei away, watched Mrs. Xie get into the car behind the wedding instead of Xie Pei's mother, Mrs. Wang, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the eldest son Xie Ling and daughter-in-law Mrs. Shao, who had been standing beside them, and said lightly:
"Ngapoi Weng and I are old, and when we are tired of this day, we won't keep you longer."
As he spoke, he looked at the mother-in-law who was following him, "You send them for me." ”
Xie Ling kept lowering his head and eyes, listening to Old Madam Shen's words, and leaned until Old Madam Shen's footsteps were far away, and then straightened up.
Mrs. Shao's demeanor is very good, and her eyes are from Old Madam Shen, who is on crutches and does not look back, to Xie Ling, who has been bending over for a long time.
Waiting for Xie Ling to straighten up, Mrs. Shao pushed him to turn around, "Let's go." ”
Xie Ling hung his head, walked a few steps, turned his head, and looked in the direction where Old Madam Shen had disappeared.
Mrs. Shao looked at him sideways, waited for him to be optimistic, and then joined him, and then walked out.
got into the car at the second gate of Zhuangzi, Mrs. Shao lifted the curtain, watched the car drive out of the villa, and watched Xie Ling lean back into the pillow before raising her hand to lower the curtain.
"Aze gets married next month, I don't know who the old lady wants to put in the position of father and mother."
Mrs. Shao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Ling, smiling and saying idly.
"Aze said, from the moment I left him and Arun, the relationship between him and Arun and our parents was completely broken."
Xie Ling's expression became even darker, and he leaned over and put the teacup on the small table.
"This blood relative, such as drawing a knife and cutting off water."
Mrs. Shao poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"That's delusional." Xie Ling frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Shao.
"You know what? Aze was able to find the person he liked, and now he wants to marry her again, from the emperor to the Xie family, everyone is very happy, but the happiest person is me. ”
Mrs. Shao looked at Xie Ling, Xie Ling's brows furrowed, "How did you say this?" ”
"You don't know my temper? I never ask for help, and I never think about it.
In the past, after that incident, I told you that I don't blame you or me for leaving Aze and Arun behind, but we just had no choice but to do it when we couldn't do both.
At the time, you had to do that, didn't you? Leave them behind, or leave me behind, you just chose me.
Since then, I have been looking forward to, looking forward to, the day when Aze will meet a woman like yours and me.
At that time, he will be able to appreciate your feelings, and then, one day, he will be able to appreciate your difficulties, just as you had to leave him and Arun behind.
Aze and Arun,"
Madame Shao paused, her voice lowered.
"If you want to say that it is sad, can there be more sad than us? It's just a last resort. ”
"No, he won't have that kind of time." Although Xie Ling's voice was low, it was very firm.
"When a woman gives birth to a child, it is the first level."
Mrs. Shao's words paused, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strong sense of nostalgia.
"Do you remember? When I gave birth to Aze, Wen Po said that my fetal position was not very good, I was very scared, what did I tell you at the time, do you remember? ”
"Remember, you were very scared at the time, and when you were afraid that you couldn't have both, A-Niang would protect the child." Xie Ling's voice was extremely low.
"I was originally an unpopular daughter-in-law, if I could give birth to a difficult birth......"
"A-Niang is not that kind of person." Xie Ling interrupted Mrs. Shao's words.
"You reassured me at the time, saying that you would rather fight against everything in the world than protect me, alas."
Mrs. Shao sighed low and contented.
"You did it.
Aze is your son, our son, and he is as affectionate as you.
One day, he will appreciate what you have experienced, the choices you have made, and know what it is like to leave everything in the world behind than give up that girl, and he will no longer resent you and me. ”
"Nope! Aze has endured all the hardships of his life, and from now on, he will be safe and everything will go well. ”
Xie Ling's tone was firm.
"I hope not."
Mrs. Shao chuckled.
"But...... Well, I hope not. ”
