Chapter 20: The Ladies of the Mansion (1)
Su Niang and Xiang Shi hurriedly for more than ten days, and stayed until the third day of the seventh month, when they were cold, and the white dew began to fall.
Twenty tables of wedding banquets in the main hall of the altar, Qinghe officials, eunuchs, and squires attached Peng to the history of the clouds, the director of the Cao Division was all over the wild goose, and the new director of the Salt Division Wen reported back, all of them were prepared with generous gifts, and they came to congratulate them, that is, the county Cheng Wang Kong Situo was sick at home, and also sent a congratulatory gift. Flowing water seats were placed outside the gate for three consecutive days, allowing the citizens of Qinghe County and the boat passengers passing through the port along the way to eat and drink at will.
There were ten tables of wedding banquets in the side hall, and Xiang and Qi Su Niang were busy, greeting the grandmothers and ladies who had heads and faces in Qinghe County, toasting and making dishes, and their faces were stiff after half a day.
Seeing that after worshipping the hall, the brides and wives sent the bride into the new house, and most of the banquet was eaten, and the female guests gradually returned home, Qi Su Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked for a vacancy, and sat in Qi Qiang's room to hurriedly find a few mouthfuls to eat.
Qi Qiang sat opposite Qi Su Niang, shaking his red bones and fine gold nails and twisting bone Sichuan fan, while laughing: "Sister, you eat slowly, Grandma Xiang is outside." ”
Qi Su Niang also wore a new scarlet makeup gauze shirt and a white silk skirt because of the happy day, put the embroidered handkerchief on the skirt, and was vigorously gnawing on an autumn pear, shedding a hand of juice, and was about to speak, Banye walked in with a small food box, "Madam, Sister Rui'er asked the slave maid to send some food, please use some of it." ”
Qi Su Niang smiled and swallowed the pear meat in her mouth, "Miss Rui'er bothered, can Grandma Xiang send it there?" ”
"Grandma Xiang used some in the hall. I just told us to send it here. As he spoke, Banye set up a meal on the table, a silver Ou pine chestnut nut stalk rice porridge, a plate of cornmeal and rosehip steamed quiches, and a plate of thinly sliced roast goose meat," Sister Rui'er said, all of which were prepared for the banquet, and she had not been meticulous, and asked Mrs. to bear with her. ”
Qi Qiang also laughed when he said this, and while taking the toothbrush and giving it to Qi Su Niang, he said with a smile: "Your girl Rui'er is too careful, where is my sister a picky person." ”
Qi Su Niang wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took the chopstick, and said with a smile: "You replied to Miss Rui'er, thank you for her concern, I accepted it." Banye gave a salute, and then took out a white gauze fan from his sleeve, "Madam, on the day of last month, Qi Sanye was in a hurry, and the slave maid pulled the fan on the Dongpo chair when she sent Mrs. out." The slave and maid kept it, and only now did they find the lady and present it to the lady. ”
Qi Qiang smiled: "The next day, I went home from the altar. My sister asked me about this fan. If you hadn't told me. I can't feel the wind yet. Qi Su Niang took the fan and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl." "Half a leaf retreated.
Qi Qiang watched Qi Su Niang drink half a pot of rice porridge. Half a steamed cake. Put down the bowl and rest. Carefully laughed and said, "Sister." The actor hasn't come back yet? ”
"If you have anything to say, just say it," Qi Su Niang glared at him. "It's a rare happy day. Don't eat and drink outside. Stood in front of me for a while. Who doesn't know you're in trouble. ”
Qi Qiang laughed a few times. poured a cup of tea and put it in Qi Su Niang's hand. "Girl. My brother is talking to you about something. ”
"Brother. You said. Qi Su Niang took a sip of tea. looked at Qi Qiangdao.
Qi Qiang was a little apprehensive by Qi Su Niang. Deliberation for a while. "You know, too. Even the boss has a good friend named Sister Gui in the back street. After three days, she will be brought in as a concubine. He glanced at Qi Su's face. continued: "This Sister Gui has a sister. It's called Moon Hook. Be...... This one...... It's my brother's good look......"
Qi Su Niang put down the tea and tilted her head to look at Qi Qiang, "My brother doesn't want to marry into the door to be a sister-in-law?" ”
Qi Qiang laughed and said, "This ......... Didn't my brother say it at the beginning, brother's sister-in-law and other sisters, you can pick it for me. The sister's vision is high, the moon hook, the sister can't look down on it, so ...... Just like her sister...... Be a concubine by my side, and my sister can't see it
Qi Su Niang took a bite at him, "What did you say, it's like I don't allow you to marry her, you just don't take her seriously, but talk about your sister." ”
Qi Qiang didn't speak, just laughed, Qi Su Niang was helpless in her heart, she no longer liked this kind of wife, wife and concubine, and she couldn't change the way of the world, so she had to force the truth. What's more, the eldest brother is like a father, and Qi Qiang's marriage to a wife and concubine is not something she can ask about. Qi Qiang discussed with her, but because he valued the affection of their brother and sister, "My brother will return to the capital in a few days, and my sister can't go with me." An Shengfu's name is too small, and there is no woman around you who knows cold and hot, and I don't feel at ease. My brother is a lot better, and since he is willing to carry her into the door, he always has some benefit to think of her. Moreover, this is also my brother's own business, and my sister doesn't have a reason to say no. ”
Qi Qiang listened to her thoughtfulness, and rejoiced in his heart, "Don't talk about things outside, my brother doesn't listen to his sister in the family, whether he is raised or married, the Qi family is also our two brothers and sisters." He said with a smile: "Since my sister is approved, in a few days when Sister Gui enters the door, I will ask her to lead Yuegouer to kowtow to you for tea, and recognize you as the aunt and grandmother in charge." ”
Qi Su Niang couldn't laugh and said angrily: "I've only heard that there is a kowtow to the housewife, but I haven't heard of the girl who marries to enter the door, what kind of rule is this?" Are you going to give her face, or are you going to give her face? ”
Qi Qiang glared, "This is the rule of our Qi family, if you want to enter the door of our house, you will abide by the rules of our family." As he spoke, he stood up, "This is the end of the matter, girl, I'm going out for a drink." ”
Qi Su Niang saw that he was in a hurry, grabbed him, and fed him two thinly sliced roast goose meat slices, "When you go out, you should eat some vegetable mats first, don't be stupid, and drink less of the pork belly wine." ”
Qi Qiang smiled, chewing shredded meat
I'm already quite drunk outside. All of them are the same as I was at the beginning, thinking: people. You were more drunk than your sister that day. If I hadn't come back and taken you home, you'd still be asleep in the shed. With that, he smiled and went.
Qi Su Niang was also funny, and was packing up the leftover vegetables on the table, Rui'er hurriedly came in, and said, "Madam, my aunt and grandmother want to see Madame, so I ordered the slave and maid to come and invite her." ”
Qi Su Niang raised her head and smiled, "How can there be outsiders on a happy day, let her wait for the groom to come in, and we will see you tomorrow." ”
Rui'er said with a smile: "Mrs. Xi said the same thing, but my aunt said that Mrs. is not an outsider, if she doesn't see Mrs., she won't be married." ”
Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "This kid, or is he scared?" I'm going to see her.
So saying, he walked out the door.
Rui'er breathed a sigh of relief and followed her, because she was familiar, knowing that she didn't care about this, she smiled and said: "Grandma will be fourteen in October this year, and Mrs. is only fifteen, but Mrs. said that grandma is a child, so what is a slave?" ”
Qi Su Niang smiled, looked at Rui'er and said, "Don't look at me at fifteen on my face, but my heart is almost thirty, and I am very old." It's not a loss for you to call me sister. ”
Rui'er covered her mouth and smiled, Qi Su Niang looked at her in a pink embroidered money shirt, a pink folded skirt, a white and tender face, and a smile with crooked eyebrows, and then thought that she was so good and generous, she sighed and sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her ground, "I have also wronged you child, where is not a grandmother who can't find fault with a little mistake." ”
Rui'er was stunned for a moment, tilted her head slightly, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, turned her head and said with a smile: "Madame screamed directly to the child, and when she got up, Madame just bullied the slave and maid with a high head." ”
Qi Su Niang also repented, and hurriedly picked it up, only laughing with her about some idle things, walked through the garden, and entered the east wing room when she arrived.
After the east wing room and the ear room were opened, it was as big as Qi Su Niang's two inner rooms, when the dowry was sent to make the bed, Qi Su Niang also followed, and personally watched Jiang Ning put down the gold bed on the north wall, the big red Luo circle gold tent was hung up, and the red felt thickly spread most of the room, and the other tables, chairs, and brocade stools were all Qi Su Niang's instructions one by one.
Qi Su Niang walked into the new house, and the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law in the room were so happy, "Auntie, Mrs. is here, don't be red-eyed, it's too early to cry and get married, it's unlucky." ”
Lianxiangdi's eyebrows have been combed upward, revealing a white forehead, although Qi Suniang is busy outside, she can also imagine that Xiang's hand combed her hair with red, twisted a cross with the red line of her face, and then painted her eyebrows with powder. So, the bright girl in my memory, dressed in a red wedding robe and a crown of beads, sat on the edge of the bed like a puppet, looked at her with a worried face and tearful eyes.
Qi Su Niang held back the sadness in her heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and walked to the bedside, "What's the matter, Lianxiang, the eldest lady is right, you can't cry at this hour." While talking, I wanted to smoke the handkerchief, but I remembered that the handkerchief was stained with pear juice, and I couldn't use it anymore.
"Ma'am." Lianxiang grabbed Qi Su Niang's hand tightly, got up from the bed, and knelt down beside the bed with a tom, "The slave and maid know in their hearts that if there is no lady to speak for the slave and maid, where can the slave and maid ......"
Qi Su Niang saw that her tears couldn't stop flowing, her heart was sour, and she hurriedly pulled her hard, "The big boss has you in his heart, and it only works if I speak, he wants to have you in his heart, I say it's useless to break the sky, isn't it?" You're a knowing kid, and it's good to have to figure it out. ”
The bridesmaids hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Lianxiang was stubborn and kowtowed to Qi Su Niang, panicking Qi Su Niang to avoid it was not too late, and when Lian Xiang was helped to the edge of the bed and sat down, she was already crying and choked up.
"Don't cry...... Qi Su Niang couldn't bear it in her heart, thinking that she had suffered this kind of crime when she was only fourteen years old, the house of the surviving master was raided, the master who loved her died of illness, and she was broken by Lian Zhenyun inappropriately. Now that she is married, she is also a partial aunt, and her favor and humiliation are all determined by her husband and mother, she is careful every day, and she is cautious everywhere to come to this world from her previous life, in order to save her life, in order to live in peace with Chen Yan and Qi Qiang, this caution is always in my heart, and I am still at fault from time to time, but I am tired for five years. Lianxiang, if she wants to keep her life from being caught by the wrong foot, where is the life of a person? Thinking of this, Qi Su Niang finally couldn't help crying: "I really can't help it, but if there is another easy way to go, where am I willing to let you be a partial house?" Lianxiang, in the days to come, you have to live a good life by yourself, and when you arrive in Yangzhou, I will no longer be able to help you. ”
Lianxiang saw Qi Su Niang like this, the more she cried, grabbed Qi Su Niang's hand and didn't let go, the Xi Po bridesmaids looked at each other, and wanted Rui'er to come forward to persuade her, but she didn't expect that she couldn't stop crying, where could she persuade people.
Crying in this new house, Li Siqin and Qi Qiang followed Lian Zhenyun into the backyard with a smile, and wanted to come to the cave room, but when they walked to the door, they heard a cry and froze.
Before Lian Zhenyun frowned, Li Siqin was already annoyed, and shouted: "This is a marriage, what are you crying about, who is there when you are really depressed" Seeing that it was Qi Su Niang who hugged the bride and cried, she immediately shut up.
Seeing Lian Zhenyun enter the door, the women in the room were shocked, and the mothers-in-law and women were so frightened that Rui'er saw Lian Zhenyun glance at her, and she was so frightened that she quickly wiped her tears and stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound.
Qi Su Niang saw that Lian Xiang's eyes showed a look of panic and fear, and her hand holding her became tighter and tighter, and her heart ached, knowing that she was still the cause
Frightened. But Lian Xiang got married, if he looked like this to Lian Zhen and won his favor, he was anxious, wiped his eyes in a panic, and comforted: "Okay, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be reluctant to let you go to Yangzhou with the big boss, and make you cry for a good life." After that, he pushed her hand away and whispered: "That's your husband, you have to treat him well." He turned to the bride and said, "The bride has made up for a while, and the ladies will work hard for a while, and then make up for it." He looked at the ground that was shrunk to the side, "Miss Rui'er, please come over and help you." ”
The Xi women hurriedly responded, Rui'er secretly glanced at Lian Zhenyun, saw that he didn't have any annoyed look, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to open the makeup box.
Qi Qiang glanced at Lian Zhenyun, turned his head to Qi Su Niang and smiled: "Sister, you look at how you are like marrying your own daughter, if you are really reluctant to do this, talk to the acting official, go back to Gaoyou to be an official, it is close to Yangzhou City." ”
Li Siqin hurriedly smiled and said: "Exactly, Qi San's sister-in-law and sister-in-law are fine, no wonder they are reluctant, this is a good thing, a good thing." ”
Qi Su Niang knew that Qi Qiang was worried that she had offended Lian Zhenyun, although Chen Yan was the lord of a county, Lian Zhenyun was not soft. Although Lianxiang's background is low, as the saying goes, he is not afraid of officials, but he is afraid of management, the emperor's favored minister, the county lady of the lord of Qinghe County, personally spoke as a matchmaker, whether it was the seventh grade candidate Qianzong or the master of the Qinghe Altar of the Cao Gang, he had to think about it carefully, so as not to offend her. Lianxiang can also be regarded as being able to take advantage of Chen Yan's terrain to elevate her background, and the righteous sister of Taida in Liupin County has become the wife of the seventh-grade candidate, and she has never wronged Lian Zhenyun at all, and he is still high. It's like she has raised her status by waiting for the emperor, the queen mother, and the lord. Otherwise, with her background, where is she worthy of acting as a son? It's just that her husband would rather risk his life to resist the decree than marry her as the main room, and the husband of Lianxiang will let her be a partial house at most......
Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly, she came to this world, struggled hard, and asked herself if she had no conscience. But after this life, my behavior is more or less tainted with habits. The nobles above relied on their power, robbed their wives and swallowed river silver, and almost split Chen Yan and her. The villagers of the four surnames and five villages in Xiatoudi are looking forward to hanging the fields under Chen Yan's name and exempting them from field taxes, and would rather be slaves than look forward to coming to Qinghe to live a good life with the power of the county lord. She also relied on Chen Yan's momentum to occupy the land and bribe in the high post account, occupy the land, and bribe, which made Kangxi angry. When she arrived under the jurisdiction of Qinghe Chen Yan, she forced Widow Xu's life to hang by a thread, if she didn't go to the ancestral hall, Widow Xu would have only a way to die? No one in the Manchu River dared to say more.
The rights and wrongs in this life are different from the previous life, if she wasn't Mrs. Xiantai, how could a shrewd and powerful person like Lian Zhenyun who refused to give in listen to what she said? I'm afraid it's useless for her to kneel down and beg. Although she asked herself why she was not wrong......
"Just have fun for you...... In the Texas Palace, Chen Yan's smiling face appeared in front of Qi Su Niang's eyes, "I don't believe you will do anything......
"You don't need to learn to bully others." Qi Qiang's laughter echoed in Qi Su Niang's ears.
In this life, without Chen Yan, what can Qi Su Niang do?
She's nothing.
Right or wrong.
Qi Su Niang glanced at Qi Qiang and Li Siqin, sighed, stepped forward and smiled at Lian Zhenyun: "Big boss, I'm sorry, I missed your auspicious time, and the concubine made amends to you." ”
Lian Zhenyun glanced at her lightly, and slowly bent down to salute back: "Madame is polite, Lianxiang has always been taken care of by Madame, and it is reasonable to be a little reluctant." And he said nothing.
Seeing this, Qi Qiang secretly gave Qi Su Niang a look, pulled Li Siqin, said a string of auspicious words, and slipped out together.
The three of them went straight to the garden in one go, and Qi Su Niang sighed, "Brother, is the big boss angry?" I looked at him with the wrong look. ”
Qi Qiang smiled: "I want to ask Li Si about this, but I can't see it." ”
Li Siqin smiled: "Now you're scared again?" How can you cry in someone's new house? If it weren't for you, I would have looked at Qi Su Niang's round eyes, and said: "Don't worry, he has been like this recently, cold and indifferent, not yin or yang"
Qi Qiang and Qi Su Niang looked at each other and smiled, Qi Qiang pulled Qi Su Niang and said with a smile: "I'm crying, I'm afraid that he will do something, the three of us will go to eat and drink in the shed, the actor is not at home, my brother is playing with you, and no one dares to say anything about you." ”
Qi Su Niang smiled happily: "It's okay to play and eat and drink, my brother is leaving, and it is serious for my sister to accompany you more." Li Siqin laughed, "Tell them to come up with a whole table again, grandma's, just take care of smirking with those officials, where can I take care of eating?" Qi San, you kid, how did you eat and drink yourself while toasting others to death? I have to teach this trick ......"
