Shen Zetang returned to the mansion in the evening, and sure enough, he saw the congratulatory gift sent by Xu Bingyong.

It is a kang table of fragrant nan wood wisps carved nine fish, several furnishings of bamboo treasure cabinets, obviously the age is far-reaching, the pulp is heavy, the surface of several cabinets is as shiny as oil, the tentacles are warm and moist like jade, and its price is difficult to estimate.

Shen Zetang's expression froze, he had seen Tian Qihui's private treasure booklet, these two things were impressively listed, Xu Bingyong sent them and vaguely felt that there was a deep meaning, I hope he was too worried.

Old Madam Shen smiled and said: "The father-in-law in charge of the palace today also sent a wedding gift on the orders of the queen mother and the emperor. He beckoned him to come to the table and look at it.

A pair of blue and white jade pots, five pots of vermilion coral bonsai and green jade carved into treasure picture pots, a handle of gold-bordered jade Ruyi, a green jade lying deer Lingzhi, as well as a cloisonné enamel incense burner, an octagonal red lacquered horse unicorn ink and several celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

Shen Zetang said: "You can put these in the treasure cabinet, which looks very noble." “

The old lady agreed: "I have this intention, and I have ordered the steward to remove the open space from your room and set these cabinets in that place." ”

"Can the Duke of Liang send someone to shop the house today?" Shen Zetang asked and wanted to go back to Qitong Courtyard, but the old lady asked him to wait, and the maid helped him to go together.

Lift the curtain into the room, the ground is spread on the yellow ground blue flower double happiness carpet, bypassing the Luanfeng peony interpolation, the luodian bed has been hung with a big red embroidered mandarin duck curtain, jade with a golden hook, hanging incense balls and blessing silk on both sides, the bed is also a color of red embroidered mandarin duck brocade quilt satin, stacked high.

Shen Zetang put his hands behind his back and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Look at what pleases you." The old lady saw it in her eyes, and she was relieved and sour in her heart.

After Mengsheng disappeared nine years ago, Er'er still lived a consistent life, but she knew that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and he also had an indescribable alienation from her.

And at this time, his expression was happy for a long time.

................................

A rooster crows and the world is white.

Tian Jiang had already cleansed herself, and let four or five "perfect" mothers-in-law serve her to wear a wedding dress, which was very complicated, although there were skilled hands to help, it also took most of the hour.

Mrs. Xu ended up relaxed, sat at the table and ate tea leisurely, seeing that she was finally sitting in front of the dresser in red and began to comb her hair by her mother-in-law, Fang Qi smiled and said: "Second Master Shen has nothing to do, even the 'perfect' mother-in-law has to invite herself, just don't believe me like this, it's okay, I ended up relaxed." ”

Tian Jiang was a little reluctant to go, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the mother-in-law who painted her lips, and the other mother-in-law passed through her hair with an ebony fine-toothed comb, and shouted softly and tactfully: "Comb to your hair, you don't have to worry about wealth; The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free; Three combs to the hair, many sons and many longevity; then comb to the end, raise the eyebrows and raise the eyebrows; The second comb is combed to the tail, and the wings fly together; Three combs comb to the end, forever knot with one heart, there is a head and a tail, rich and noble. “

Tian Jiang somehow shed tears.

The mother-in-law who painted her eyebrows and eyes was busy wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her with kind words: "When the girl's family always marries a wife, she will serve her in-laws wholeheartedly in the future, and give birth to a boy and a woman in the New Year, and it is a blessing to spend her life like this." “

The daughters-in-law and ladies of Qiaxu Mansion came to see the marriage, and looked at this battle, and hurriedly explained with Mrs. Xu.

Tian Jiang still couldn't stop his tears, just like this, the rouge on his face melted and mended, mended and melted, and sobbed and choked.

It wasn't until music started playing outside the window, mixed with the sound of crackling firecrackers, that the welcoming team came.

............................

Shen Zetang was let into the main hall by Xu Ling, and was slightly stunned, this Xu Ling was simply a layout for marrying a daughter, inviting the clan relatives and officials who are good friends on weekdays, and setting up several tables, which were crowded and very lively.

Shen Zetang has neat sideburns, wears a black gauze hat, wears a new cross-collar right robe and official uniform, with flower rhino leather around his waist, and black soap boots on a white background.

Xu Lan sat in the corner, eating wine one after another.

He watched the officials come forward one after another to congratulate and toast, and Shen Erye symbolically ate a few glasses, only smiling and talking, but no one dared to trouble him again.

After sitting like this for half an hour, he heard that someone had come to report that the bride was on the sedan chair, so he took off his robe and stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and went out with Xu Ling and the steward.

Second Master Shen saw Xu Lan coming towards him, so he slowed down, waited for him to get closer, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Yuan Zhi went to the Ministry of Officials to look for me after returning to Beijing, I don't know what happened?" “

Xu Lan shook his head, he had two bells full of wine in his hand, one handed it to Shen Erye, and watched him take it: "This bell wine first congratulates the teacher on his great joy, and there is another thing I want to say." “

Second Master Shen raised his neck and drank it all: "Yuan Zhen, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu Lan felt as if something was choking in her throat, and only after a while did she say hoarsely: "Tian Jiang is now my cousin, since she is my maternal cousin, I dare to mention the teacher, my cousin used to have a very hard time, the teacher is much older than her, please treat her well in the future!" If I had known what had been wronged by her, I would not have agreed. ”

Second Master Shen glanced at Xu Ling, who was weak-hearted, and understood that he must have told Xu Lan the truth, so he silently said softly: "You don't have to worry, Tian Jiang is my wife, I can't hurt her as much, how can I be willing to give her grievances!" “

Turning around and raising his hand to pat him on the shoulder, just in front of the main gate, Shen Huan brought a tall horse covered in jade, and Shen Erye kicked the saddle neatly.

Xu Lan was pushed out of the door by the back, everyone had envy and amazement on their faces, and they turned their heads to each other to see this rare scene with red makeup in the capital, which is really wealthy!

The sedan chair has turned to the other side of the street, and the ten-mile Red Sea has gradually flowed away, and the sound of gongs, drums, and suona has finally returned to the ears and roots, and the cannon cane ash is all over the ground, and the remaining smoke curls like fog and dust.

The crowd also dispersed in twos and threes, and two large stone lions squatted in front of the door, silently, gilded by the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xu Lan's heart was filled with a desolate feeling that the song was over, and the girl who was so happy finally married someone else in green silk and red clothes.

Will we be able to see each other again...... I'm afraid I can't!

He raised his hand and wiped his eyes, turned and stepped into the threshold, and after a few steps, he heard a deep sound behind him, the sound of the door closing.

...................

The sedan chair is shaking, and when you go out, the sky is newly colored, and it is already darkening when you reach the Shen Mansion.

A wisp of cool breeze blew the curtains, and along the cracks that were lifted, you could see the crowd in front of the Shen Mansion, the sound of fine music and firecrackers became louder and louder, and the sedan chair slowly stopped.

Tian Jiang knew that this was called "blocking the door", and after waiting for a long time, the sedan curtain was opened, and the two men came out with each other, and then they heard a yin and yang Mr. Yin and Yang in the mouth of the words in the "sprinkling grain beans", she couldn't see the outside scene, only lowered her eyes to see a few crimson jujubes, the bones rolled to the front of her feet, and she couldn't help swallowing saliva.
