Chapter Seventy-Seven: Chu Jin's Wedding
Yinshi, Jingwangfu.
Chu Jing was furious. "Go again, and see if the little bunny is up!"
"What are you yelling, sit down and drink tea to dissipate your anger!" Nangong Yingyue stretched out her hand and pulled Chu Jing's sleeve and comforted her.
"It's all you, and I'm used to him being like this on weekdays. What day is today, and you can't get up when it's too late? Chu Jing turned to Nangong Yingyue angrily, and his voice was a little quieter.
Nangong Yingyue didn't talk back, she took the teacup and handed it to him, "But I drank too much last night, and it's still early, it's too late!" ”
"Humph!" Chu Jing took the teacup and took two sips, and collected his temper, "Why hasn't the holy decree in the palace arrived yet?" ”
"Don't worry, Xu hasn't gotten up yet. Why, it's been a few days since I had an early pilgrimage? Nangong Yingyue asked Chu Jing.
Chu Jingchang took a long breath and slowly exhaled it, and said worriedly: "It's been more than a month, I went into the palace yesterday to see, I was too sick to get up from the bed, and it took me a long time to suck and shout at me, and you still recognize me." ”
"After Jin'er gets married, I should also enter the palace tomorrow to thank him, and then go to see him!" Nangong Ying muttered to herself in a low voice.
Chu Jing couldn't sit still, stood up and sighed again and walked back and forth on the main hall a few times.
The little guy came in, "Back to the prince, the little prince is up and is changing clothes!" ”
"Okay, go down and get ready!" Chu Jing stood at the door and looked around, thinking in his heart that Jin'er was reluctant in the end, but he was born in the emperor's house, this is his fate.
Nangong Yingyue walked slowly to his side and persuaded: "How can you say that Qingqing is also a princess of a country, and she does not insult the glory of Jingwangfu, even if he is unwilling, he must marry!" ”
The two eyes met and understood.
Chu Jin walked from his own courtyard to the main hall in a big red brocade robe, the red lantern was still lit along the way, he shook his head in annoyance, but he couldn't wake up himself as if he was in a dream at this time.
Although he does not linger in the flowers every day when he becomes an adult, he is also admired to this day, although those famous ladies are cute, they also make him tired, and his eyes really lit up when he saw Xiao Qingqing for the first time. But after a long time, he actually missed those ladies who knew etiquette and taste, at least he wouldn't pester him all day long, step by step.
Listlessly entered the main hall, and said good morning to Chu Jing and Nangong Yingyue, but he was inevitably counted out a few words, and he didn't care much, he took the tea cup handed by the maid and drank a few sips, and someone came to the door to pay tribute.
At the end of the day, the eunuchs who gave wedding gifts from all over the palace came to the door one after another, and Chu Jing's eldest son, Chu Jin's father, Chu Chitong, received him in the front hall in person, rewarded the eunuch who gave the gift, and sent someone out of the house.
People from all the prefectures came one after another, bringing their families and families.
Mu Qingyan sat in Chu Han's carriage and entered the gate directly, got off at the second gate, and was led by the female butler of Zhike, and went to the inner house to see Nangong Yingyue.
At this time, Nangong Yingyue's courtyard was full of people inside and outside, and the ladies and wives who arrived early in the painting hall were gossiping with people they knew well. The young lady is so shy and silent, well-behaved and cute.
After such a scene, it is often possible to make up several pairs of marriages, and most of them are young ladies who are favored and asked to go to propose marriage. Therefore, unmarried women have been strictly required before going out, and the etiquette of the boudoir should be focused on the future.
Chu Han was in front, and he greeted the old ladies and ladies of each family one by one, and was troubled by Nangong Yingyue, and was pulled over by some young ladies to laugh.
Mu Qingyan is dressed in new eggplant clothes, lined with snow-white clothes, one purple and one white, and the two layers of collars cover each other, which is fresh and refined. There is no bun on the head, and several thin braids are combed on the left and right sides to form a staggered bud at the back of the head, and each thin braid is pinned with a finger-sized pearl hair ornament, and there is no other headdress, and there is a strand of broken hair on both sides of the ear.
first asked Nangong Yingyue for peace, then for the eldest princess and the princess, and then for the old ladies and ladies of each family according to their generations, and then was pulled away by Yan Xuechu, who arrived early.
"I said that this piece of material can only be worn by you, and if you take it with gold and silver, you will lose its essence, so it is really beautiful!" Yan Xuechu circled around her before speaking.
Dongfang Fengyue came over and said softly: "Miss Mu is so beautiful!" "Every movement and stillness shows everyone's beautiful demeanor.
Mu Qingyan smiled back and saluted her, and then shouted, "Where is Lord Ling?" I didn't see Chu Ling anywhere, and the two grabbed a maid and asked.
The maid first curtsied and saluted before speaking crisply, "The county lord is still here just now, the two young ladies wait a minute, the slave will find it for you!" After speaking, he bent down and took his clothes again, and then walked out the door.
At this time, someone came outside the door again.
Mu Qingyan thought that Ling'er was back, and when she looked up, it was the old lady of Nangong who entered the door with the lady of Nangong Chengyue.
And they all got up and saluted again, and then sat down again.
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, and there were already good eyes watching the show everywhere to stare at her. After making enough grievances, he walked into the crowd, "Old lady Nangong is fine!" There was an endless amount of grief in his voice.
Old Madam Nangong stretched out her hand to help her get up, and looked at her carefully, "Girl, you have cleared, why don't you come to see me?" ”
Mu Qingyan seemed to be disgusted with the lack of drama, and peeked at Mrs. Nangong with red eyes and laughing with the people next to her in a lofty manner, and she didn't care about her at all, and stopped talking.
Everyone's eyes alternately scrutinized the two of them, and finally someone couldn't bear it, "Smoke girl, come over and give me a closer look, I've never seen this piece of clothing!" The old lady of the East called her over with a smile.
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and walked a few steps to Mrs. Dongfang Yin's side, "Grandma, this is woven by the new silk of the Yan family, but this is the only one that I am here for." "The face is not very good-looking, but it is not as sad as Fang Cai.
Everyone privately decided in their hearts that no matter the reason for the divorce of other people's young ladies, they must be ashamed to see others. Only this Miss Mu family does not allow the side room to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage and can be treated as a person who has nothing to do, so she is really tight.
Some people look down on Mu Qingyan's character, and naturally some people are not used to Mrs. Nangong's behavior, obviously Nangong Yin's loss of discipline is the first, and treating a girl like this as the wife of her Nangong family is really cold.
"Oh? Yan girl, come here! The old lady of the East beckoned Xue Chu.
Yan Xuechu dragged her long skirt and walked to the two of them with a smile, glared at Mu Qingyan, and said angrily: "Grandma Dongfang, this was robbed by her, I don't have it anymore!" ”
Nangong Yingyue, who was next to her, was amused by the words of the two, looked at the old lady of the East and asked her: "When we were not as old as we were back then, we always thought about it when we were not together, and we were noisy together!" ”
"Well, it's like! Ling'er, what about the girl? The old lady of the East looked around and saw no one.
Nangong Yingyue shook her head, "She is also a greedy person, she has to go with her to greet her relatives, I'm afraid she has already left the house at this time!" ”
Mu Qingyan stomped his feet, "Why don't you wait for me, I want to take a look too!" ”
The eldest princess, who was closest to the two old ladies, suddenly laughed, "This girl's temperament is like Ling'er, no wonder she can play in one place, she is really unrestrained!" ”
Mu Qingyan and Yan Xuechu walked farther hand in hand, and the two talked quietly at the end of the corridor.
Chu Wei walked over, greeted and left as the eldest lady of Jingwangfu; Then Chu Mo approached and glanced at Mu Qingyan with disdain, "What is the status of King Jing's Mansion, and it is also where civilians like you act recklessly?" Now that you are no longer the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Nangong family, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the third sister here! ”
Yan Xuechu was glaring angrily, Mu Qingyan quietly pulled her, and said calmly, "What are the four young ladies going to do?" ”
Chu Mo looked at the two who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and said arrogantly, "Be honest, otherwise don't blame me for something ugly!" ”
"A good tutor in Jingwangfu!" Yan Xuechu sneered coldly.
Chu Mo had enough of the majesty and thought about leaving, but he didn't want to be ridiculed by Yan Xuechu, so he raised his hand and slapped at Yan Xuechu's delicate face.
Yan Xuechu was taught by the Yan family as the head of the family since he was a child, although he mainly engaged in business, he was also a must-learn way to protect himself in martial arts.
She grabbed Chu Mo's wrist with one hand, "What?" Does Miss Chu Si want to use force? Do you want me to call the princess to judge who is right and who is wrong? ”
Chu Mo was pinched by her wrist and couldn't break free after struggling for a long time, and she couldn't care about decency anymore and scolded loudly, "You slut, let go of your hand quickly!" ”
The corners of Yan Xuechu's lips are curved, "Fourth Miss is so educated!" With all his might, he shook off her wrist and took two steps to the side, ignoring her.
Chu Mo was dumped by her, and after standing firm on the pillar, she was angry, glared at the two of them fiercely, and left with a humming voice.
The two were in no mood to speak, and returned to the painting hall side by side, following everyone to the front auditorium.
Today, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lou He personally officiated the marriage, and the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office received the imperial order.
"The auspicious time is here, and the newcomers will enter!"
At the right time, Xiaojing Wang Chu Jin was in front and led the bride at one end of the red silk into the auditorium.
"Kneel!"
A wedding has already come to help the bride kneel on the ground.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
Chu Jin had a cold face throughout the whole process, and there was no trace of joy, and he bowed to the hall according to the words of the celebrant and the celebrant.
"Licheng, send it to the cave room!"
Chu Jin raised his legs and left, no matter how his father Chu Chi yelled at him angrily, he walked out of the auditorium as if he hadn't heard it.
Xiao Qingqing pulled off her hijab and looked angry, "Chu Jin, what do you mean?" ”
Chu Jin had already left, leaving only a figure.
The room was full of guests looking at each other.
Nangong Yingyue said in a calm voice, "Send Princess Qingqing into the cave room!" ”
Xiao Qingqing carried a red hijab in one hand, trotted out of the auditorium to chase Chu Jin, and roared angrily as she walked, "Chu Jin, Chu Jin, you come back for me!" "Turned a deaf ear to Nangong Yingyue's instructions.
Chu Jing also had a cold face.
Chu Chi greeted a distinguished guest, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Jingwang Mansion is not well entertained, please have a banquet in the hall." There will be a big show in the garden for you to enjoy later, please! ”
Everyone immediately followed the steward of the guest to the hall to have a wedding banquet, and every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, not to mention that King Jing's mansion was married to the princess of the Northern Desert Kingdom, and there were a few such marriages that were willing.
Banquets are held in the front hall for men, and women are served in the back hall.
But I saw a team of maids shuttling back and forth, and it gradually became lively.
"Xue Chu, Yan'er, come and see if my clothes look good?" Chu Ling pulled his robe and showed off, with a smug face.
Yan Xue glanced at her, reached out to twist Chu Ling's cheek, and said hatefully: "The Communist Party of China just gave you such a piece of material, can it be the only one in the world that doesn't look good?" ”
"That's it, today you are the most beautiful Lingjun Lord!" Mu Qingyan covered his lips with a handkerchief and smiled stupidly.
In the painting hall, several old ladies sat in the chief.
Headed by the princess, the eldest princess and some other noble people sat next to each other. Chu Han didn't want to join in the fun, but the eldest princess forced her to sit beside her. There were already those ladies who were in the first class of official residences, but they could only sit at the bottom of the place, secretly speculating and dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to be angry or speak out because of the dignity of the Jingwang Mansion.
The ladies sat together, no matter how Chu Wei regarded herself as the eldest lady of the Jingwang Mansion on weekdays, the seat of the main seat did not dare to defend herself at this time. Unwillingly, he retreated to the next place and sat in the first place of the next seat; Chu Mo didn't dare to make a mistake, and sat beside Chu Wei obediently, staring at Chu Ling with burning eyes, pulling Yan Xuechu and Mu Qingyan to sit on the first seat.
Some people are happy, and some people are unhappy.
A group of official ladies clearly didn't dare to do anything, and it was indispensable to ridicule them with cold faces behind their backs. The expensive and fine clothes they wore were all from the Yan family, so it was naturally not good to shake their faces to Yan Xue for the first time, and the unlucky Mu Qingyan became the object of everyone's disdain.
