、、、、、、、、、、 Xue Niang gently inserted a big red silk yarn flower on the peony's high bun, and helped her to support the copper gilt inlaid with gold, silver, glass, clams, agate, crystal, amber concentric Qibao hairpin, looking at the radiant peony and slightly reddening: "Sister He, congratulations." ”

Peony knew that she had set a family surnamed Lu some time ago, and she would marry the year after. The other party is a military general, from the sixth flying cavalry captain, not in Beijing, stationed in Anbei Duhufu, I heard that it is also a family of military generals, and his ability is good in all aspects. But Peony never saw any expectation or joy on Xue Niang's face, so she guessed that she was probably dissatisfied with this family business, which was touching the scene. But it was not easy to persuade her, so she had to deliberately laugh: "What, you can't bear me?" ”

Ying Niang stuffed the piece of handkerchief into Xue Niang's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, it's not that you won't see you in the future." ”

Xue Niang also felt that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly pressed the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm all happy for Sister He." She is really envious of Peony, and sure enough, she and Jiang Changyang finally became married, and they are so close to home, and they don't have to serve their in-laws.

Wu Jiuniang was busy on the side and said with a smile: "Let's discuss and see how to embarrass the groom today." One sentence drew everyone's attention. Xue Niang forgot about her displeasure in a blink of an eye, and came up with several ideas with great interest, Wu Jiuniang deliberately made her sad and disturbed the situation, and deliberately praised her for the novelty of her idea, which made Xue Niang happy and more energetic.

Peony listened with a smile on the side, looking at the cottage where she had lived for more than a year, thinking of the messy morning, when she was brought home by Mrs. Cen, Xue and others who suddenly broke in, she was very emotional. For a while, I felt that the past year was very fast, but in the blink of an eye, I thought about the hardships I had experienced, but I felt so slow.

When Mrs. Cen said that she would wait for the cold of the newly built house to dry for half a year before anyone could live in it, who knew that she would get married before the house was completely dry, and probably no one thought that she would marry so soon after returning home. Sure enough, the world is unpredictable. Peony couldn't help but shake his head gently, got up and walked to the place where he used to shake and roost, and gently touched the old parrot frame that was already empty, and couldn't help but secretly guess that he had been sent over first, and stepped on the silver parrot frame specially made by Jiang Changyang. It is not familiar with the environment and fiercely yells at the people around it, or people come to perform its tricks madly to please those close to it, and it thinks it is a backer.

Peony curled the corners of her lips and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a noise outside. Rui Niang ran in panting and hit Zhen's head, Zhen scolded: "Little ghost, what are you doing running so fast?" Rui Niang didn't care about her at all, and shouted with her eyes shining and pulling Peony's sleeves: "Auntie, auntie, guess who is coming!" ”

Peony nodded her nose: "I can't guess ......" I heard someone shouting at the door: "Danniang ......" but He Zhizhong and Lang were smiling with smiles on their faces.

Peony covered her mouth suddenly, and when Zhen saw Lang, he was so happy as if he was something, and asked one after another: "Tianye, didn't you say that you couldn't catch up?" How did it pop up all of a sudden? What about Big Brother and Shiro? Why don't you see it? ”

He Zhizhong looked at the peony who suddenly seemed to have changed with joy, carefully straightened the hairpin ring for her, and said lightly: "I heard that my little Danniang is going to get married, but I am in a hurry, and my hair and beard are all gray." When Da Lang saw it, he said Oh, since you are in such a hurry, you might as well go back first, and wait for me to go back slowly with the goods. It's just that I have to tell Danniang when I arrive, it's not that I don't want to come, it's that I can't catch up. When Shiro heard this, he also said that his brother was not at ease with taking care of so many goods alone, so he and his brother came slowly from behind, and asked Lang to wait for me to ride back first. Originally, I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up, but it turned out that I would go to Mrs. Duan's clipper, which saved me ten days. So, good intentions are always rewarded. ”

He said it lightly, but Peony knew that Da Lang and Shi Lang must be in order not to let Aunt Zhu and Zhen have ideas, so they deliberately asked Lang to follow He Zhizhong home first. It is not easy for everyone in this family, she held He Zhizhong's hand tightly and just didn't let go, and shouted in a low voice: "Daddy......"

He Zhizhong saw that her eyes were red, and he was afraid that she would cry, so he hurriedly said: "Don't, it won't look good if you spend it." He whispered again: "Actually, I almost couldn't come back, thanks to the stagecoach that Jiang Dalang found for us for personal gain, you saw him tonight, and you want to thank him for me." ”

Peony couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and was about to say a few words to He Zhizhong, when she saw Erlang hurrying over from outside, saying that there were many guests, and asked He Zhizhong and Lang to hurry up and take a bath and change clothes, and prepare to worship their ancestors. He Zhizhong only had time to stuff the box into Peony's hand, looked at her with a comforting smile and hurriedly went out.

Zhen Shi hurriedly picked up the peony and opened the box to see what it was, and the peony opened it to see, but there were a few beautiful small shells and a conch on a layer of silver-white sea sand, and he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes again, and tears only swirled in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to flow down. She just sighed before He Zhizhong left, she was afraid that she would not be able to see the sea in this life, but He Zhizhong took it to heart and brought her such a rare gift from so far away.

Everyone didn't know the reason, they were a little disappointed, thinking that He Zhizhong would bring back some rare treasures for Peony as a wedding gift when he went out this time, but who knew that it was a handful of sand and a few shells. He Chun, who heard the voice, saw that the adult had a strange expression, pulled the peony's hand and looked at it on tiptoe, and saw that the peony had red eyes and tears, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, don't cry, although my grandfather is stingy and only willing to give you sand and shells, but I still have a few gold ingots to give to you together." ”

Peony couldn't help but laugh with tears, hugged He Chun tightly in his arms, and whispered: "Grandfather is not stingy at all, grandfather can't buy this treasure for my aunt for any amount of money." ”

He Chun blinked in surprise: "Really? Is there a jewel in it? As he spoke, he asked Peony to pry open the shell and conch to see what was going on.

Peony laughed out loud: "Ah Chun turned out to be a little money fan. It's not that there is a jewel here, it's just that my grandfather brought it back to my aunt from a distant place, and it has my grandfather's heart, so I said that I can't buy it for any amount of money. ”

He Chun nodded as if he didn't understand, and took Peony's hand and went out to worship his ancestors.

After the worship, Peony sat in the room and waited for Jiang Changyang to come to the door, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Changyang was going to worship his ancestors today, I don't know if he would go back to the Zhuguo Mansion to worship, or in his own small courtyard to worship? If it's in your own small courtyard, it's okay, if you go to the Zhu Guogong Mansion to worship your ancestors, I don't know how the rest of the Jiang family feels? Will it embarrass him? Hopefully, his mood won't be affected by this.

said that although Jiang Chong and the old lady were seriously dissatisfied with this marriage, they did not dare to openly express their dissatisfaction, not to mention that there was a virtuous Mrs. Du in the middle. Mrs. Du ordered someone to open the ancestral hall and clean it one day in advance, invited all the people in the clan who should be invited, and was busy preparing everything needed to worship the ancestors, and waited for Jiang Changyang's arrival early in the morning.

As soon as Jiang Changyang arrived, Mrs. Du immediately went to invite the old lady and Jiang Chong. The old lady didn't get up at all, but only said that she was not feeling well. She refused to attend such an important ceremony, and was unwilling to admit that the peony was originally expected by Mrs. Du, but Mrs. Du was secretly happy in her heart, but she still stood aside and persuaded her.

The old lady was tired of hearing this, so she casually waved a silver lotus leaf pillow under the bed, and said stiffly: "If you love to this heart, you can yourself, don't pull me along." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The old lady was originally irritable and didn't like to lose her temper, but Mrs. Du thought that Jiang Zhong told the old lady about the last Shangyuan Festival, and the old lady lost her temper early in the morning. At that moment, I stalked the boss with a bag in my heart, and when I went out to see Jiang Chong, I was a little lukewarm.

Jiang Zhong asked her a few words before she answered, Jiang Chong was not happy, and said lightly: "Since you want to pretend to be virtuous, you have to pretend to be the end, who will you do at this critical moment?" ”

Mrs. Du couldn't stand the anger before and after, and she trembled with anger for a while, and she couldn't help but think of the day when Wang Ayou got married, although Jiang Chong didn't say anything, and asked people to send a congratulatory gift, but locked himself in the study for a whole day and a night. If he is not reluctant to that woman, what is it that he feels sorry for that woman's son? What is she in the past 20 years? Zhong'er was left so far away alone, and he was not familiar with life, why didn't he care much about him? Thinking of this, Mrs. Du's lips trembled uncontrollably, staring at Jiang Chong, eager to jump up and pick out his face before she could relieve her anger.

Jiang Chong didn't notice it at all, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he went forward on his own. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Jiang Yunqing hurriedly supported Mrs. Du and said in a low voice: "Daddy is in a bad mood, he will definitely regret it in the future and come to apologize to his mother." ”

Mrs. Du held Jiang Yunqing's hand, gritted her teeth, raised her eyes to look at the lantern under the corridor that was blown by the wind, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Jiang Yunqing got goosebumps from her laughter, and before she could settle down, Mrs. Du had already moved forward steadily: "Let's go, there are still many things to do for your brother to marry today." After worshipping the ancestors, he went to marry the bride, we still have to go to Qujiangchi to wait, we can't ask the Fang family to perform duties for the Jiang family, right? I don't care, I'm afraid some people can't afford to lose face. She wants to see what kind of identity Wang Ayou appears in such an occasion, when she appears as Jiang Changyang's stepmother and presides over the wedding.

Her words reached the ears of Jiang Chong, who was speeding in front, and Jiang Chong couldn't help frowning, but his pace slowed down.
