Chapter 404: Extenuating Circumstances

As the son of a four-grade prefect, Ma Boss also wanted to marry a woman who matched her family background and appearance, but her stepmother obstructed her in every way; He didn't want to obey his stepmother's arrangement and marry the daughter of his stepmother's brother-in-law, so he could only marry a local barbarian girl in Huaishuo.

Among the limited candidates, Boss Ma chose the most suitable household for him, which was the Senbutoya he was going to marry now. After getting married, he was able to use the excuse of helping his father-in-law take care of the business to lower his stepmother's vigilance and get rid of his stepmother's control. In this way, he can participate in the imperial examination, and then become an official, and then he will let that vicious woman suffer the consequences.

"Big young master, the little one has something to report." The only loyal entourage around Boss Ma, his brother Da Hong, was outside the door.

"Come in." Boss Ma frowned, it was only three days before he got married, what did the woman want to do?

Da Hong pushed the door in, "The eldest young master, my cousin's wife invited the prince of An Guo and his wife, who were passing through Huaishuo, to attend the wedding banquet of the eldest young master. "That Liu is a distant cousin of Ma Zhifu, and he has a deep relationship with Ma Zhifu's original partner, and he will pinch Mrs. Ma when he meets.

"Really?" Boss Ma was pleasantly surprised.

"It was my cousin's wife who said it herself." Da Hong laughed.

Boss Ma smiled, "Got it." "He will take advantage of this opportunity that his cousin has won for him.

On the first day of Boss Ma's marriage, Liu came to the post station with gifts to visit Yan Hagi. Yan Hagi and Fu Zhixing were fiddling with some gadgets they bought on the street yesterday, when they heard the maidservant's report, Fu Zhixing told Yan Hagi, "It's the same wife who invited you to the wedding banquet." ”

"Shall I go see her, then?" Yan Hagi asked.

"If you want to see it, you can see it." Fu Zhixing said with a smile.

Seeing through it again, Yan Hagi laughed twice, "See her, and only then will you know why she came." ”

After that, Yan Hao changed his coat and went to the small hall to meet the guests.

When Liu saw Yan Hao come out, after greeting him, he said straight to the point: "I'm here to apologize to Mrs. ”

Yan Hao was a little surprised, "I don't remember that Mrs. He offended me. ”

"Governor Ma is my distant cousin, Mrs. Ma is his step-family, Mrs. Ma is unkind to her mother, she doesn't want my nephew to get ahead, she restricts him everywhere, and forces him to marry the daughter of a local merchant. My lord's official rank is below my cousin, and I can't help my nephew, so I will use my wife, hoping that my wife and the son can help my poor nephew. "Liu didn't want to save face for the Ma Governor's Mansion at all, so he had nothing to say.

Yan Hagi frowned, "Doesn't Governor Ma care about Mrs. Ma?" ”

"Madam, if there is a stepmother in this world, there will be a stepfather." Liu smiled bitterly.

Yan Hao was silent for a moment, "This is the Ma family's private matter, and we are afraid that we will not be able to help." ”

"Madam, this matter is just a gesture for the prince and his wife." Liu said nervously.

"Tell me about it." Yan Hagi said cautiously.

"Shizi reminded my nephew a few words, so that my cousin can pay attention to my nephew, so that Mrs. Ma is jealous." Liu nervously stated her purpose.

"That's it?" Yan Hagi asked in surprise.

Liu smiled, "I have never had contact with my wife before, and it is too much to make a rash request when we meet for the first time." ”

Hearing this, Yan Hao's impression of the Liu family was a little better, "I will talk to the prince, I think the prince will be willing to help nephew Ling." ”

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." Liu said repeatedly.

After a few more gossips, Liu said goodbye and left, Yan Hagi politely sent her away, turned back, Fu Zhixing had already taken those gadgets back into the rattan box, he sat on the couch and read a book, when he saw her come in, he raised his eyes, "What is Liu looking for you?" ”

Yan Hao sat down beside him and said the intention of Liu's coming, "I think it's a trivial matter, I didn't ask you, so I promised her first." ”

"Yes." Fu Zhixing smiled lightly.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Boss wore a colorful robe, tied a ribbon around his waist, wore a bowled red tasseled hat, high leather boots, and a bow and arrow, and went to Senbu's house to marry the bride surrounded by the best man.

The wedding customs of Huaishuo City are completely different from the wedding customs of the capital, the bride welcomes the door, first worships the divine fire, and the guests who come with the bride sing the fire worship song, "...... The Sun Army married a girl, and in order to accompany her brother, Grandma combed her long black hair...... Through the baptism of eternal divine fire, marriage ignites a lifetime of prosperity. ”

When the emcee on the man's side worships heaven and earth, the emcee on the man's side sings: "...... Worship heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and give happiness and health to generations......"

Then the greeter on the man's side sang: "...... Thanks to the nurturing grace of their parents, the newlyweds are happy and auspicious...... The golden family galloped to the groom, in order to marry the beloved girl, a flock of cattle and sheep in nine boxes of dowry, gorgeous costumes carved gold saddle ......"

Sending relatives and welcoming relatives are singing and dancing, cheerful like a ball, not a wedding, Yan Hagi is eager to try, if it weren't for the maidservant's desperate pulling, she was almost affected by the atmosphere and danced.

"Young lady, you want to dance, when you go home, you can dance to the prince." Xiaocao persuaded.

Yan Hao didn't know what to think, her pretty face was slightly red, and she said arrogantly: "I don't want to jump to show him." ”

After dancing for nearly an hour, the sky darkened, and the wedding was almost the same as in Beijing, the bride was sent to the new house to sit on the bed, and the mascot on the man's side began to spread the tent, "A handful of chestnuts, a handful of dates, and the small ones followed the big ones." ”

On the other side of the capital, red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds and longan were sprinkled, and Huaishuo was sprinkled with red dates and chestnuts. After that, the mascot took dates and chestnuts to the bride and groom and deliberately asked, "What is this?" ”

"Dates, chestnuts." The bride and groom replied.

"Early erection, early erection." The children cheered and ran out of the new house.

The bride and groom drank the wine, and the female guests gave makeup, which is different from the capital. As the most distinguished guest, Yan Hagi was the first to send, and she gave a set of jewelry brought out from Beijing to prepare gifts.

When I opened the jewelry box, everyone's eyes lit up, and the top was a ginseng flower hairpin with silver gilt inlaid pearls. The shape of the whole branch is ginseng, and it is decorated with peach blossoms next to it, and the stamens are inlaid with pearls, which means "good life".

The shape is ancient, gorgeous and colorful, vivid, graceful and luxurious, Mrs. Ma's eyes are hot, what qualifications does a barbarian girl have to wear such a good-looking hairpin?

"Toya, this is the princess of Anguo." Liu didn't expect Yan Hagi to be so generous.

The reason why Yan Hagi came up with this set of jewelry was because he felt that since he wanted to be human, he had to make it perfect. This rich makeup made Boss Ma's heart full of gratitude. When Boss Ma went out to toast, Fu Zhixing deliberately chatted with him.

Ma Zhifu saw it in his eyes, thoughtfully, the prince of Anguo is so cold, and his eldest son is not a martial artist, why is he favored? Is it because you value yourself, so you ...... Ma Zhifu smiled and narrowed his eyes, leaving Huaishuo was just around the corner.
