Chapter 231: Family Affairs

The days passed day by day, and soon it was the beginning of April.

The wedding cards written by Wen Huan have been sent out one after another, and other things have also reached the final preparations.

Red gauze lanterns were hung everywhere in the house, and the maids who had changed into new red clothes pasted paper cuts all over the house, and everywhere was filled with a sense of festivities.

The urging box has been sent to the Song family yesterday, in addition to the usual gifts, but also sent a complete set of phoenix crown Xia veil, which was specially made by Mrs. Wen to find the embroiderer.

Before the sun came out, Wen Huan walked in the direction of the Song family with the welcoming team.

Ah Yu also got up early today, she was following behind Mrs. Wen, and after a whole day, she obviously didn't do anything special, just walked a few more steps, and when she met people, she was about to smile, and she already felt very tired.

After Wen Huan and Song Shanyin visited the church, the bride was supported by Quanfu and sent into the new house. Several ladies who were good friends with the Wen family also followed the groom and the bride into the new house, and there were still some unfinished customs, but Ah Yu did not go with them.

When Quanfu people went to support the bride, she went out with the crowd, but those people went to Wen Huan's new house, and Ah Yu chose to turn the corner at the first fork and returned to her own courtyard.

The doors and windows were still pasted with paper cutouts, and the red gauze lanterns under the eaves swayed in the wind, and she sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

The breeze swept through her long hair, and the falling leaves swirled and landed near the roots.

Mama Chang is now older, and her nephews have come to Wenfu more than once to ask to take her home, but she has never been relieved that she has brought up the little girl by herself. However, not long ago, she walked to Mrs. Wen's courtyard, and her attitude relaxed a little after she came back.

She called the maid ring in the courtyard to bring tea and snacks, and filled the stone table in front of Ah Yu, and then asked Ah Yu.

"Why did the girl come back so early today and didn't go to see the bride?"

Most of the etiquette of getting married in Kyoto is to follow the ancient etiquette, from the beginning of the greeting, to the later worship hall, almost one in the morning, one in the dusk approaching, the auspicious time is naturally there, but there are still some differences in the auspicious time when different people get married.

The color of the sky in the distance has gradually deepened, and soon it has turned into an inky blue, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will even think that the sky is completely dark.

Ah Yu rubbed her cheeks, today is the day of her brother's marriage, as a little girl who has not yet decided to marry, she can always get extra attention from many ladies when she follows her mother. When they talk to Ah Yu, although those topics may not necessarily be able to win Ah Yu's pleasure, she always has to answer when others ask questions, and even if they can't answer, a simple smile can always give out.

There are a lot of back and forths, and most of them are smiling and welcome, and it is normal for the sides of her cheeks to feel stiff.

"There are more ladies who go to the new house, and I don't really want to go over and join in the fun," Ah Yu didn't mean that he would not step out of the courtyard door again.

According to her original plan, she was going to go back to her yard to rest for a while, and when the ladies in the new house had already left, she would go to their new house with her brother's instructions.

A bride like a girl from the Song family often starts dressing up early in the morning, and after a busy day, she may not even have a glass of water.

Before Wen Huan went out to greet his relatives, he had already instructed the kitchen to prepare an extra meal, and wait until the things in the new house were over, and then deliver the meal.

He was worried that the people in the kitchen would be busy and forget, so he specially greeted Ah Yu and asked her to accompany the Song girl.

Mama Chang heard A's plan, thought about it in her heart, and looked up at the sky again: "The young master should have gone to the front yard to greet the guests at this time, if the girl wants to talk to the young lady, she can already get up......"

Ah Yu is not a good time.

But since Mama Chang said so, she just listened to it!

Turned his head to look at Aoba on the side: "The meals that I ordered to go down before, but they are all ready?" ”

The big kitchen in the house was busy preparing the meals for the banquet in the front yard, if the big kitchen was asked to prepare an extra meal, maybe it would be mixed up at some point, and it happened that a small kitchen was added to Ah Yu's yard, and the food ordered by Wen Huan, Ah Yu asked the people in the small kitchen to help prepare it.

Aoba walked to the kitchenette, and when he returned, he was carrying a food box in his hand.

Seeing that everything was ready, Ah Yu led people to Wen Huan's new house.

Wen Huan's new house is the courtyard where he used to live, but before he got married, the courtyard was rearranged, and the beds and decorations in the new house were all arranged in advance by the bride's family.

Ah Yu had also come to Wen Huan's yard before.

Of course, there is still a big difference between the images left in the past and the scenes you see now.

When he stepped into the door, Ah Yu's hand in his sleeve subconsciously tightened his sleeve, and then he saw Song Shanyin sitting on the new bed.

The hijab had been lifted, but because the bridegroom had gone to the front yard, she sat alone in the room, and looked a little overwhelmed.

Ah Yu instructed Aoba to put the food in the food box on the square table in the room, and said to Song Shanyin with a smile: "Brother said that my sister-in-law is working very hard today, and I am afraid that I am hungry when I get up in the morning, so I asked me to prepare food in advance, and my sister-in-law will come over and eat something first!" ”

He also said: "I don't know much about my sister-in-law's taste, so I let the kitchen simply make some light dishes, and I hope my sister-in-law won't be surprised......"

Song Shanyin looked at the little girl in front of her, trying to make the appearance of the principal, and the heart that was still carrying it was inexplicably relieved.

She stood up and came to the square table, and the red apple in her hand, which had been pinched by the crescent moon mark, was set aside.

"I'm the only one to eat, but I always feel a little bad when I let Ah Shen watch from the side......" Song Shanyin asked Ah Shen again: "Ah Yu has already eaten, if you don't have it, why don't you eat some with your sister?" ”

She doesn't have much of an appetite, but she rarely refuses the requests of someone close to her.

Now that Song Shanyin has married into the Wen Mansion and become one of her relatives, it is naturally difficult for her to refuse her again.

The food cooked in the kitchen, under the careful carving, naturally tastes good, but each dish is very rare.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

The two people who were eating in the house were carefully eating the dishes in their bowls and did not communicate too much.

When the food on the table was cleaned up, Song Shanyin was about to talk to Ah Yu for a while, when a noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Ah Yu stood up, she could already hear her brother's voice.

Of course, in addition to my brother, there are other people's voices, probably who want to come over to make trouble in the cave room.

"Brother, they're coming back soon, so I'll leave first......"

She can't stand here and watch her brother's friends come over to make trouble in the cave room!

Song Shanyin nodded and said, "Thank you for today......

Naturally, Ah Yu couldn't directly respond to this thanks, she only said: "Today's incident was entrusted to me by my brother, but I can't directly accept this thank you from my sister-in-law......

After a few simple words of such a courtesy, Ah Yu took his leave seriously.

Because Wen Huan and his friends were talking on the bluestone path outside the courtyard, if they went out at this time, they were afraid that they would directly collide with people, so in order not to cause trouble, Ah Yu took two more steps to the corner of the courtyard. Although there are a lot of red gauze lanterns lit in Wen Huan's yard, there is always a visual blind spot in the huge courtyard, which is difficult to find when people are not paying attention.

Drunken youths poured into the courtyard, some of them towards the door of their new houses, others trying to reach out to stop the former, and they all gathered together in a noisy manner, no one noticing the direction behind them.

This gave Ah Yu the opportunity to take a detour and leave.

On the way back, Ah Yu ran into Wen Ning again.

Wen Ning, who was dressed in an indigo scholar uniform, didn't know if it was because of the style of clothes, he looked a little like a child stealing adult clothes, and he couldn't support the scholar uniform at all.

After seeing Ah Yu, he looked at the several maids behind Ah Yu, and whispered to Ah Yu, "Sister, can I talk to you?" ”

The pitiful appearance makes people can't bear to refuse him.

Ah Yu paused, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she hadn't looked for Wen Ning for quite some time.

Mainly because she doesn't have to go to Hakuba Academy to study now, she spends most of her time in the Wen Mansion in Kyoto, and rarely goes to the suburbs. And Wen Ning has reached the age of going to the White Horse Academy to study, and after Wen Huan went on a study tour, he was sent to the White Horse Academy.

The people who traveled with him were Fan Ximao, who lived in Xie's house.

Today is a good day for Wen Huan to get married, obviously it is already night, but the lights are still bright up and down the Wen Mansion.

Ah Ning originally wanted to take Wen Ning back to her yard, but when she was passing by the back garden, Wen Ning suddenly stopped her and wanted to talk to her in the pavilion in the small garden.

Although he didn't know how Wen Ning would make such a request, Ah Yu thought that since it was something he could easily do, why not just agree to it!

The back garden is different from the rest, the red gauze lanterns are only hung under the eaves of the pavilion and next to the swing rack, and the rest of the place is still shrouded in darkness.

The subordinate took the first step, cleaned the gazebo that was cleaned every day, took a soft cushion and put it on the stone bench, and filled the stone table with tea and snacks, and then invited Ah Yu and Wen Ling to come forward and sit down.

The evening breeze blew the small pond next to the gazebo.

Ah Yu glanced at the small pond that was half clear and half hidden in the darkness under the reflection of the lantern, blinked his eyes, and looked at Wen Ning again: "Ning'er is in the academy, can you still live in the habit?" ”

Ask the juniors in the family, most of the time it starts with school.

As for Wen Ning's academic problems, she had already gone to Pei Yin for advice, and Ah Ying felt that she didn't need to ask too much about this point, so she was ready to start with other questions.

Wen Ning kept his head down silently after Ah Yu sat down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"My sister is leaving to go far away, is it the whole family, only I don't know?"

Hey?

Ah Ning was taken aback, she really didn't say in front of Wen Ning that she was going to go away, but since she didn't say anything, where did Wen Ning get the news, could it be that her father told him?

She replied to Wen Ning's words: "I can't say that, I haven't talked to you about going out before, but because things haven't been completely settled, I'm worried that there will be temporary changes, and I want to wait for a few days to talk to you......" When the day of her departure is set, Wen Ning will always know.

However, Wen Ning was very dissatisfied with this explanation.

He looked at Ah Yu and said solemnly, "Does my sister hate me very much?" ”

"Why do you think that?" Ah Yu didn't think about it and said, "You are my brother-in-law, how can I hate you?" ”

They are a family, and there may be some small disputes on weekdays, but disputes are disputes, where can they be called annoying!

Wen Ning frowned: "But my father and brother all know that my sister is going out to play, even Mao Mao knows about it, only I don't know anything." If I hadn't heard Mao Mao talk about this matter today, then I'm afraid I would have to wait for my sister to leave before I knew that my sister was going out to play......"

If he was the only one in the family who didn't know about it, he might feel wronged, but he wouldn't be as aggrieved as he is now.

Who let the people who know about this matter have one more Fan Ximao.

And Fan Ximao is a child of someone else's family, and the closeness between him and Ah Yu is not as close as Wen Ning.

However, he knew that Ah Yu was going out to play, but Wen Ning heard about it from his mouth, which made him feel so easy to calm down!

Grievances are more than a star.

He rubbed his eyes, which were a little red, but not to the point of crying.

asked Ah Yu: "If my sister doesn't hate me, then promise to take me out to play!" ”

Ah Ning didn't expect Wen Ning to say this, she pursed her lips, although she was a little reluctant to make Wen Ning sad, but she really didn't want Wen Ning to go with her.

She said: "But Ning'er is different from me, I am now nothing, but Ning'er, you still have to study in the academy, so that you can inherit your father's mantle in the future and become an official in the court......"

Wen Ning held her breath, wanting to fight the things she had heard before, hesitated for a moment, stood up from where she was, walked to Ah Yu's side, tugged at her sleeve, and came to a hard coquette.

"I don't care...... I don't want to study with the gentleman in the academy, I just want to go out with my sister, sister, if you don't agree to me, I ...... I'm not leaving today! ”

He wanted to roll on the ground, but he gave up thinking that his sister hated dirty guys the most.
