Volume 3 Through the Counterattack Chapter 22 The Sister-in-law's Road, Success!
γShaoguang Gardenγ
Li Ruoqing, who came to the residence of the two county lords, was very glad that she got up early enough and arrived before they were busy bathing, grooming, getting up, and listening to the rules.
At this time, Tianxin and Tianyun were also rising, and they were nervously listening to the aunt of the house first emphasize the matter of going to the in-law's house, so that when the eldest aunt in the palace came to train the rules, she would not know anything.
Seeing Li Ruoqing, Tianxin Tianyun was very happy.
Tianxin: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Can you go out? It's only been three watches, and the bones that are blown by the night wind hurt. β
Tianyun also hurriedly came over and took Ruoqing's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you take a stove?" Quick, Liu Yan, go get a stove. β
Li Ruoqing pulled the two of them and said with a smile: "It's okay, I came in a warm sedan chair, where is it cold?" You're all busy these days, and Childe won't let me go out, and I haven't been able to come over to see you. Today......"
I don't know why, it was Li Ruoqing who pushed their marriage forward, obviously she was mentally prepared, why did she want to cry when she talked about this!
She held back the tears that were about to fall, and then said with a smile: "I can't send you to my mother-in-law's house when I leave the house today, you can take care of your life in the past." In addition to the dowry box for you, I have some dear treasures for you. So come early, so that you can take it into your dowry. β
Here, the woman's family can only send their daughter out of the house, and they cannot go to the in-law's house to attend the wedding banquet. Even if Qi Rong has such a prominent position, he can only feast on the woman's relatives and friends in his own mansion.
There is only a couple of newlyweds in the main venue of the man's house, and the banquet of the woman's house is completely self-enjoyment.
Therefore, Li Ruoqing wanted to take a closer look at the two of them before they went out, so she attended the wedding banquet and drank their toast.
Tianxin and Tianyun looked at the small treasure box sent by Li Ruoqing, they were surprised and moved, and they burst into tears unconsciously.
These two small boxes, one set with numerous emerald gemstones and the other with numerous pigeon's blood rubies. In the Central Plains, where low-key atmosphere and ceramics are prevalent, such a precious treasure box, even today, is enough to blind people's eyes!
These two small boxes alone are big enough, and inside each there is an even more sparkling jewelry set.
Inside the emerald treasure box is a large emerald gem-encrusted necklace, surrounded by broken diamonds. A pair of emerald earrings adorned with golden pearls. An emerald ring, pure gold de-setting, without any other embellishments.
The other box of pigeon's blood red set has the exact same setting, except that all the green color is replaced by a pigeon's blood ruby.
These were really precious in the society at that time!
These two sets of things were found by Li Ruoqing who went to the treasury to search for the dowry that Persia brought her. After all, as soon as she entered the mansion, she swore that she didn't want anything Persian, and at this time, she couldn't find any gifts in her yard that could fully express her concern for Tianxin and Tianyun.
Tianxin cried and said, "Sister-in-law, this is your own dowry, right?" This is too precious, how can we take it? β
Tianyun also said like a tearful person: "Yes, sister-in-law, we can't accept this, we have written down your kindness to us, really." β
Li Ruoqing wiped their tears with two hands and said, "Silly girl, what are you crying about?" On the day of great joy, today I can finally marry my wishful husband, and I have to go out with a smile! What is there to worry about these external objects, it is not just some shiny stones. To send you this is to wish you that in the future, you will be like these gems, precious, shining, and cherished forever. β
In fact, Li Ruoqing also unconsciously kept tears, saying these words was really full of the sourness of goodbye.
She wasn't sure if the hurried back road that Li Ruoqing had arranged for the two of them was right, but it was definitely better than them staying in General Lingxiao's Mansion.
After all, at this time, Li Ruoqing is more or less relieved to pay attention to "the water spilled by the girl who marries", and with her in-laws and her husband who loves them.
Tianxin Tianyun said a lot of words that were moved by gratitude, and Li Ruoqing also comforted a little, in order not to delay their preparation process, Li Ruoqing was leaving.
Before she stepped out of the door of the main house, Tianxin suddenly cried and shouted: "Sister Ruoqing, Sister Ruoqing......"
Tianyun also shouted "sister"!
In their hearts, Li Ruoqing is really like a sister, not the professional care of her sister-in-law, but thinking about them from the bottom of her heart, for the sake of them who are also women.
Li Ruoqing's tears swelled up, her heart twisted when her sister called, two little girls who were just supposed to go to high school were married out by her like this?
She was reluctant and helpless. If she didn't know the result, she really wanted to keep them until they were eighteen years old, completely ease the relationship with her brother, have the love of her family, and then marry her in-laws with arrogance......
But...... None of this is possible!
Li Ruoqing wiped a handful of tears and said, "Silly girl, what are you crying about, it's still my sister when you get married." I'm still waiting to take you to Xianyang, and you can go out with me to have fun! β
After saying that, she turned and walked out, and she really didn't dare to say any more.
If you want to go back to your parents' house, you need to report to the housekeeper of your mother-in-law's house in advance, and if you have in-laws, you need to get your mother-in-law's approval. You also have to inform your mother's family in advance, and you can come back when the time is right.
Sure enough, once a woman gets married, she is an outsider in her mother-in-law's house and a guest in her mother's house. Modern women can still work hard with their husbands to build a small family of their own, while ancient women can only rely on their in-laws.
I don't know if the marriage of this county lord can be different? Li Ruoqing has been patronizing and sentimental these days, and she hasn't studied the situation of the county lord and the county horse of this dynasty.
Li Ruoqing returned to Ruoqing Xuan, accompanied Qi Rongruo to have an extremely simple breakfast, and hurriedly followed him out to prepare to send off his relatives.
Looking at the bustling crowd, there is a difference between men and women, and the division by gender is clear.
The people in the house were busy in a mess, and Li Ruoqing was just covering up and watching. Sometimes with some tears, sometimes with a bright smile.
She accompanies Kong Xueying to deal with relatives, friends and daughters, that is, a foil. This kind of scene is actually quite nerve-wracking.
Those people in Xiangyun Yuan are not allowed to show their faces on such occasions. Because he can't be regarded as a master, but he can't be called by others, he can only listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and live today as an ordinary day in his yard.
But by noon, everything had stopped......
The county lord got married, and the family banquet was dispersed. The servants of the house are busy restoring the festive decorations to normal, as if nothing had happened!
However, Tianxin and Tianyun are no longer officially from General Lingxiao's Mansion.
Of course, Shaoguang Yuan will keep it for them until the new county lord comes of age. That is, the wives and concubines in this house have daughters, and once they become adults, this family will not even have an exclusive place for them to come back and live. If they come to live again, they can only live in the guest garden!
γRuoyi Zhaiγ
Li Ruoqing didn't want to go back and think about it alone, so she simply followed Qi Rongruo to Ruoyizhai.
He greeted some noble ministers in front of him, but in fact, they were mainly holding and chatting, and Rong Ruo was completely coping with the scene!
Li Ruoqing was secretly in the library, while overhearing the words of those scenes, while aimlessly browsing most of the ancient books that she couldn't understand.
This scene is a bit like when she was a child, her father took her to work, peeking at her father's work, while silently scribbling and making trouble on her father's work log......
finally sent away the last wave of guests, and when Qi Rongruo came to the study to find Li Ruoqing, she was already asleep at her desk.
That Qi Rongruo beckoned Zi Yan, who was accompanying the waiter, to go out, leaving him alone to the side like a second fool, staring at a girl who was slept and drooling from a book.
At about the lunch banquet, Li Ruoqing was in no mood to eat, and Li Ruoqing felt a little hungry, so she woke up slowly.
When she opened her eyes, she was startled, and a big head in front of her was stunned at him, and a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes looked at her.
This big head belongs to her husband, that Qi Rongruo. He quietly moved a chair, and looked at Li Ruoqing with his head on his lean, and watched it for half an hour!
Li Ruoqing wiped the book with a handkerchief in a panic, wiped her mouth and said, "Are you done?" Why don't you call me? β
That Qi Rongruo just looked at her and smiled, and didn't reply.
Li Ruoqing was a little overwhelmed, touched her face and said, "What's wrong?" Is it the words on the book? β
While speaking, he wiped his face with a handkerchief until he wiped out the red marks, and Qi Rongruo took his hand and said, "No, no, I just look good." β
Li Ruoqing was a little shy, and said coquettishly: "Ouch, why is the son so good at sweet words, your sister is only getting married today, your happy expression is not appropriate!" β
That Qi Rongruo: "My sister is married, isn't this a happy event?" Why, am I wiping tears like you! β
Hearing him teasing himself, Li Ruoqing didn't dare, and pretended to be fierce and said: "Hmph, you have no conscience, I can't bear my sister for you, and you still laugh at me." β
That Qi Rongruo hurriedly brought the chair close to Li Ruoqing, took her hand and said, "Don't dare, how dare the little one laugh at Madame!" β
Li Ruoqing: "Hmph, who is your wife?" Your wife can greet distant relatives in the front hall now! β
That Qi Rongruo pinched her little face and said: "Who is my wife, you are my wife, in my heart, I am such a lady as you!" β
Li Ruoqing pretended to cry and said: "Oh, oops, all men in the world are guilty, I really feel sorry for my sister Xue Ying!" β
That Qi Rongruo picked up Li Ruoqing and said, "Madam, then let the little one be completely negative." Come to think of it, you're out of confinement, right? β
Li Ruoqing hurriedly put away her acting face, and thought in a panic: Oops, I forgot about this stubble. Vegetarian for several months, this eldest young master is going to ......
It's broad daylight, no, isn't it too much, right?
