Su Niang was looking forward to going to the capital to see Qi Qiang, counting the days and waiting for Chen Yan to return from touring the Yellow River. The red light Spring Festival couplets in Tianjin City have not yet been removed, the festive atmosphere on the faces of the people has not faded, and the marriage of the eldest lady of the Cha family has made Tianjin City red from the inside out.

A hundred bright corner lamps opened the way, and string lights, flags, gongs, umbrellas, fans, civil and military deacons, and title drums were lively and lively to welcome the groom and the official into the palace. Mrs. Liu, who rushed over from Tongyongdao to watch the ceremony, looked at her younger brother Liu Heting, who entered the family in a sedan chair, with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

Qi Suniang smiled and said a lot of auspicious words, looking at Liu Heting's six-grade civil official's auspicious clothes, he was also forbidden to check the wealth of the mansion, and in a blink of an eye, he donated the official for his new son-in-law, and sought the idle shortage in the capital. Whether it is Tongyongdao Tai or Beihe Hezong, although the official quality is high, they are all white-crowned officials, and their foundation is far inferior to the Cha family. Although she didn't inquire about the family property in Texas, she thought that it must have been arranged properly.

Although there is a lot of gold in Chafu, the wedding banquet is rich and poor, because it is a lot of money, and it also saves the etiquette of archery, raising curtains, crossing the brazier, and opening the box to marry the girl into the door, but the congratulatory gifts sent everywhere still make the master of ceremonies hoarse. Not to mention the prince's mansion in the nearby capital, even the Cheng Mansion in Yangzhou, which is thousands of miles away, rushed to send twenty congratulatory gifts before the opening of the banquet, and the firecrackers roared loudly.

Because of the lack of brides entering the door, the guests of the whole house rushed to toast Liu Heting, and the excitement on the banquet covered up the sound of gongs and drums on the stage.

Qi Su Niang and Liu were at the women's table, watching the chairman of the board of directors Weng Bai block the wine for Liu Heting, Song Qing was laughing with Master Cha on the side, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask softly: "The friendship between the godmother's mansion and the Song mansion is so good?" I invited Song Da to be a big matchmaker at the beginning, and I thought it was just some contacts. ”

Liu is a woman in her forties, from a large family in Texas, and her speech is both sophisticated and elegant. She smiled slightly, glanced at Qi Su Niang, put a three-ding bun in her bowl, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Futai, who has been in Yangzhou for three years, can't figure these out? In the north and south, both public and private are to be entered, and naturally it is very close to the big boss of Caoshang. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned and remembered that Lian Xiang had talked about Lian Zhenyun's transportation of smuggled salt for Wang's mansion, and both public and private income, and couldn't help but suddenly, thinking that the chief merchant Chafu in Changlu Yan District also asked the Zhili Cao Gang to secretly transport smuggling salt, plus Song Qingyuan was originally a scholar, and he acted more than Lian Zhenyun to pay attention to the rules on the surface, and he was naturally closer to Chafu.

"Heting was summoned by Master Cha every day to talk, and I saw the Song family from time to time, and I heard that the Cha family left a courtyard in the house set up in Beijing, and the big boss did not live in the Boat Gang Hall when he went to Beijing, but lived in the Cha Mansion."

Qi Su Niang nodded and said, "If you go to Beijing in the future, if you want to come to the little uncle, you will also have to take your godmother into the house to live." ”

Liu sighed, "It's good." But I'm not reassured. If it weren't for the wide range of people in Chafu, the old man had a long-term vision. At the moment, it has not been mixed into the affairs of those gentlemen. I will never let Heting go to Beijing at this time. I listened to my grandfather. Now there is chaos in the capital......"

Qi Su Niang thought about recovering the crown prince. And those guys. He sighed. Just about to speak. was dragged by Liu to the new house.

Qi Su Niang and Liu entered the new house together. Qi Su Niang looked at the room full of dazzling red. It's a dizziness. I can see that Mrs. Xi is still grooming Miss Cha. I was even more taken aback. Liu Shi was stunned and said: "Why did you dismantle the combed ground again?" ”

Miss Cha saw the two of them in the makeup mirror. smiled and said, "My sister is here." My niece's daughter also came. ”

Qi Su Niang couldn't cry or laugh. Miss Cha is only fifteen years old. Because of Liu's land. but the seniority is higher than her. The grandparents in Chafu didn't allow her to be called like that. But she loves to make a lot of trouble. Qi Su Niang saw that although she was the only daughter of the long house. Pampered. Daddy's words can't get into my ears. Fortunately, he is straightforward. But occasionally I called a call or two when I laughed. And he went with her.

Miss Cha let the daughter-in-law comb her hair behind her stop. Stood up and commanded. "When the old lady of Yangzhou Chengfu sent a few boxes to the ground, the new ground clothing and jewelry were all opened. Ten more paintings are also opened. Let Mrs. Governor and Mrs. Daotai take a look. ”

The girls on the floor responded to the sound, revealing all kinds of clothes in the box, such as cherry red, plaster beam red, mud gold, turquoise eight regiments, arch bilan, and ocean lotus, and a box full of embroidered shoes. Miss Cha said with a smile: "Since the beginning of the past, our dress in the north is not as good as the emerging fancy in the south, and the north and south are separated by thousands of miles, and we always can't catch up." This time, I got married, except for the beaded crown and phoenix robe, all of them were Yangzhou goods. Cheng Fuli just sent the most fashionable, the ten pictures are all dressed up in Yangzhou beauties, Sister Qi will take a look for me, what kind of hair is good. ”

It was the first time for Qi Su Niang to see the bride so comfortable in the new house, and she also knew that the bride who was flattering was not as usual, not to mention that she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

She glanced at Liu quietly, but saw that she had a normal face, and she had no intention of putting her aunt and grandmother on the shelf, but stepped forward to look at the beauty picture with a smile, and praised it in her mouth: "The style of Jiangnan is really unusual, I haven't seen the hairstyles of these sisters." It is rumored that the concubines in the palace in the former dynasty were all dressed in hair

Qin Huai Bayan, favored by Bo Jun, now the Han concubines in the palace also have this tune, and the palace concubines also have Han costumes in their spare time. Su Niang, come and see. ”

Qi Su Niang walked over, there were a few pictures of the beauties, but they looked familiar, and Yang Xiaobao ordered by Master Cheng was the first one, combing a high Arhat bun, and the hairpin was afraid that it was the double phoenix golden hairpin rewarded by the old lady that day.

She looked at the past by one pair, except for Chen Sanguan, the six pairs were all raw faces, thinking that they were all the new red group in Yangzhou Mansion, and when she reached the seventh pair, Qi Su Niang couldn't help but concentrate. On the top is a painting of a cherry-red ocean lotus, a long skirt with broken gold silk, a red gold crested butterfly wearing high-soled embroidered shoes, combing a butterfly bun, and inserting eight treasures inlaid with beads.

Miss Cha walked over, looked at the seventh picture of beauty, and said with a smile: "I look at this one festive and elegant." I haven't seen that hundred-fold dress yet, but my father donated the official for him, and I have to wear a life robe today, and I can't wear it. "Turn your head and order," rummaged through the box containing bamboo shoes, and found a pair of these big red and gold crested butterflies wearing flower high-soled embroidered shoes. Qi Su Niang smiled again: "The beauties in this painting are all Sister Hong of Yangzhou Mansion, and one of them is also an aunt in Cheng Mansion." I listened to the rich officials and daughters in Yangzhou Mansion, although they didn't say it on their faces, but the clothes and accessories were all with these red sisters, that is, the old men bought for the pets, and they also followed these red sisters. Which red sister does Mrs. Chen dress up with on weekdays? ”

Liu said with a smile: "I've always wanted to inquire about it, when I went back to see my lord's majesty, I met the day when the foreign wife asked the queen mother to say goodbye." I also entered the palace, and the princess in the palace listened to me from Caobian County, and asked me if I knew what kind of hair was combed in Yangzhou recently.

”

Qi Su Niang smiled slightly, "Concubine Wang Niangniang is from Suzhou Mansion in the south, and the head style of Suzhou Mansion is all with Yangzhou, so she naturally wants to ask." Stretched out his hand and pointed to the seventh picture, "Look at the festive." ”

There was a lot of chaos in the new room, and when the young lady combed her hair, Liu and Qi Su Niang withdrew, and Qi Su Niang sat down at the table, but she was looking at the chairman of the board and Weng Bai's eyes swept over and fell behind her.

Liu Shi laughed out loud, "This family affair in your two mansions has been spread to Tongyongdao." He glanced at Bi'er, who was standing behind Qi Su Niang, and beckoned, "Come over and let me take a closer look." ”

Bi'er lowered her head and stepped forward, Liu Shi took her hand, looked down for a while, turned her head to look at Qi Su Niang, and stopped talking.

Qi Su Niang glanced at Bi'er, Liu Shi filled a bowl of fresh soup, and said with a smile: "Godmother, please say that Su Niang is young, and there are too few things in this life, and I can't keep up with my godmother's old way, I really can't make up my mind about this family matter." ”

Liu thought about it, beat for a while, and said to Qi Su Niang: "I have heard a lot about your family over the years. Godmother touches her heart and plans for you, as long as you can give birth and raise, Lord Chen will naturally marry you and love you. But you have to figure it out for her. After a pause, he looked at Bi'er, "Looking at the way you are dressed this body, I also know that you are the proud person in front of your grandmother, and I think you are an understanding child." The matter of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, there is no such shop after this village, and the background can not be fake. Turning his head to Qi Su Niang and smiling: "Think about it, this child was born ordinary, and his background is not high, even if you accompany some dowry, you will not live with her for the rest of your life." Since the son in the Song Mansion was willing to send his predecessors for her, he was more or less determined, otherwise where would there be such a rule? Moreover, if you pick someone who has no one in front of you now, you can't guarantee that there will be no one in the future. Can you really keep her for the rest of your life and not marry? Be a girl in front of you? ”

Qi Su Niang didn't speak, just looked at Bi'er. Bi silently bowed to Liu, "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Aidaotai." ”

At the beginning of the lanterns, the wedding banquet in Chafu finally dispersed. Qi Su Niang walked out of the gate of Chafu, glanced at Weng Bai who was standing ten steps away, sighed, looked at Bi'er, lowered his head and got into the car.

There was rain in the sky, and the rain shone under the big red palace lamp in front of the Chafu Gate, and Bi'er stood in front of the car door, as if she was thinking about something, but the rain covered her face.

Weng Bai finally walked over step by step, stopping five steps away, and after a while, he muttered, "I can also be like Lord Chen......"

Bill didn't say anything, didn't look back, raised his hand to lift the curtain, got in the car and left.

Weng Bai stood silently in front of the gate of Chafu, watching the carriage of the Hezong Mansion go away.

Song Qing had been watching for a while on the side, he slowly stepped forward and patted Weng Bai on the shoulder, "Go back." I can't rush this matter. ”

The gang members of the Zhili Cao Gang hugged the two of them and rode their horses on the road, and the water vapor wafting in the Haihe River with the smell of salt was cold and bitter. Song Qing stared at the turbulent river, thinking about his thoughts, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, the water surface of the Haihe River was ten inches higher than usual, if it weren't for him begging for food on the water, and he had always been careful, no one would be able to detect it.

Song Qing was shocked, turned his head and ordered, "Come on, go to the river yamen to inquire, there are floods in the neighboring provinces." Send people to Yongding River, Ziya River, and Luan River to check the water potential. After a pause, he sent someone to Shandong to see the water potential of the Yellow River.
