Chapter 130: On the cusp
On the sixth day of August, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
Today is a good day for Mu Qingyun and Ji Yongan, the lovers to tie the knot, Ji Yongan's Great Prince's Mansion and Mu Qingyun's Hou Mansion are all full of lights and joy.
As Mu Qingyun's closest and most trusted person, He Shuningda has been by Mu Qingyun's side since yesterday.
Like her, there were also the old man Qi of Yuxumen, Yan Huaiyu's wife Wen, and her and Yan Huaiyu's two daughters.
Old Man Qi brought Mu Qingyun's makeup gifts from everyone in the Yuxu Sect, and the Wen family took their two daughters to follow up on Mu Qingyun's trivial matters out of the pavilion.
As for Ji Yongan's side, the wedding gift for him, Old Man Qi had already handed it over to Ji Yongan, who came to visit his old man, the day before yesterday, and Old Man Qi would not go over there for the banquet today.
First, Old Man Qi has a special identity, and his appearance at the wedding banquet of one of Ji Heng's sons is not a good thing for Ji Heng, Ji Yongan, or Yuxumen.
Second, Old Man Qi considers himself Mu Qingyunniang's family, and his baby granddaughter is married, so of course it is impossible for him to go to his grandson-in-law's side to eat and drink.
So, Old Man Qi rested firmly in Mu Qingyun's Hou Mansion.
As a son-in-law, although Wei Guogong brought Mrs. Qi and their children and grandchildren over to meet Old Man Qi for the first time, Old Man Qi still disliked him.
The old man was very kind to talk to his baby girl, as for the stinky boy, stinky son and stinky grandson who kidnapped his baby girl, the old man said very arrogantly that he would not give them a good face.
The brothers of the He family were angry with their grandfather when they were children, and after so many years, they had long been accustomed to their grandfather blowing his beard and glaring at them - anyway, compared to their father and uncle, they were already considered to be of a higher status.
When their own relatives and uncles are lower than their own status, they have nothing to be unbalanced.
Anyway, in the hearts of their maternal grandfathers, they can still be ranked second-to-last, right? It's better than their long-standing father and uncle.
He Shuning's elder brothers, who silently bowed a handful of bitter tears for themselves, had already given their sons a preventive injection in private before they brought the children over, so He Shuning's nephews did not show negative emotions such as fear and grievances because of Old Man Qi's pretended seriousness.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that their grandparents and parents are also "female over boys" - they are much disliked, and the children's ability to bear has already been trained.
***
About two quarters of an hour before the sedan chair came to the door, the palace gave Mu Qingyun a generous reward.
Strictly speaking, this reward should be counted as two, because some of the things in this reward come from Empress Wu, and the rest comes from Emperor Ji Heng.
Queen Wu is to make face for her daughter-in-law, so she rewards her when she marries and rewards her when she marries, but Ji Heng stands on a different position from her, he rewards Mu Qingyun, not because Mu Qingyun is his daughter-in-law, but because Mu Qingyun is the minister of Da Chu.
Others are fine, at most, they are jealous of the emperor's blue eyes for Mu Qingyun, but Ji Heng's concubines are jealous and their eyes are red.
You must know that they will also be married soon, and when the time comes, Empress Wu will definitely make face and reward their princess with something, but Ji Heng will definitely not treat their princess like Mu Qingyun.
Although they all understood that although Mu Qingyun was the royal daughter-in-law, she was also an important minister of the imperial court, Ji Heng, who was the emperor, should make a face for his courtiers at this time.
But understanding and accepting are two completely different things, no matter how much they use reason to suppress their feelings, they still can't help but feel that Ji Heng is biased.
They also want a beautiful wedding, and they also want their princess to be favored by Ji Heng.
But at the same time, they also knew very well that Ji Heng would never give them everything they hoped for.
Secretly gritting a mouthful of silver teeth, these princes still had to congratulate Ji Yongan with a smile, and do their best to help him smooth out the people blocking the door and help him pick up Mu Qingyun smoothly.
Ji Yongan was actually speechless, although he was very happy that Mu Qingyun was valued by Ji Heng, but he didn't want Ji Heng's value to become an additional burden for Mu Qingyun.
You must know that just by marrying him as his wife, Mu Qingyun already has to bear a lot of dangers, and now Ji Heng does not shy away from his trust and value for Mu Qingyun, his move undoubtedly pushed Mu Qingyun to the forefront.
Ji Yongan knew that Mu Qingyun didn't like to be stared at like this, whether it was regarded as a thorn in the eye or meat in a bowl, Mu Qingyun didn't like it.
But Ji Heng is a generation of emperors who cannot directly disobey them and can decide their fate, even if his trust and reliance will push Mu Qingyun to the forefront, Mu Qingyun can only happily accept the order and thank him.
Fortunately, Mu Qingyun is not a weak and delicate flower that can be bullied by anyone, and even many powerful characters who were originally very difficult to mess with will turn into a weak and delicate flower in front of her, but Ji Yongan still can't control her distress.
Joy sounded, and Ji Yongan picked up Mu Qingyun, who was dressed up and covered with a red hijab.
In Muhou's mansion, there are a handful of girls who came to send Mu Qingyun to marry, you hug me, I stop you, and cry together.
These are Mu Qingyun's little fan sisters, although Mu Qingyun actually has almost no contact with them, but they all admire Mu Qingyun very much.
Now that she is married, I wonder if they will be able to go to her only way to see her in the future......
Wen found his two daughters and a cousin and niece in the small group of little girls, and couldn't help but be amused and helpless to ask the maid to interrupt them.
The little girls, Wen's maids, invited them to the side to freshen up and dress, and when they calmed down, Wen had people send them fragrant tea and snacks, seasonal fruits, and all kinds of candied snacks.
The girls were interrupted by Wen's interruption, and the guilt in their hearts temporarily overwhelmed their reluctance, and they didn't dare to cry anymore, for fear that it would disturb Mu Qingyun's happy event.
So the group of girls sat down one after another in the place arranged by Wen's, everyone ate tea, and occasionally exchanged ears with the little sisters around them, but no one had the appetite to eat the snacks, fruits, candied fruits and other things on the table.
What they didn't know was that after they left, all the delicacies that had been removed intact soon all went into the stomach of He Shuning, who was almost hungry.
