Chapter 18 Greeting Relatives

The wedding of the prince of Shun'an and the marquis of Wenchang can be described as a guest from all over the world, and it is very lively, and it can be regarded as a century wedding in modern times.

Although the Shun'an Bo Mansion is the most insufficient, it is obvious that the elders are powerful, and the younger generations are motivated, and now they are married to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, and the momentum of accumulation is unstoppable!

Coupled with Mrs. Song's "old lady diplomacy" for a while, many princesses, princesses, and ladies first went to the Marquis Wenchang Mansion to get married, and then came to Shun'anbo Mansion to eat wine and congratulate them. Two tables were prepared in the flower hall of Sui'an Hall, and the banquet was for the ladies of these clans and first-class families in the capital.

Other ladies who do not reach this level are accompanied by the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady? The old lady said cruelly, if anyone does something unseemly and makes the Song family lose face, then the Song family will not be able to tolerate it, no matter who it is.

The eldest lady and the second lady are not really stupid, so they naturally know what to do!

The girls who came were accompanied by several girls from Song, only the seventh girl was still young, so that the nurse and the mother-in-law could serve well, and they would not be surprised!

Su Su and Yang Liu's main task is to accompany the old lady, to see and listen to all directions, and to make sure that the guests in the flower hall are satisfied.

Ning Cui and Yun Duo were solely responsible for entertaining the maids and ladies who came to the banquet with their masters. No lady will go out with only one person, and there are twenty tables for these people to eat and drink!

Others may not know, how can the old lady not know that a decent maid and a woman can say a word in front of her master, which is more useful than hundreds of words from outsiders!

Today's world is overjoyed, and the maids in the house have all changed into new clothes according to their ranks: the rough ones are green clothes and gray pants, and today they are licensed to add a goose yellow shoulder; the third class is red silk jacket, green pants, green satin and shoulders; The second-class maid is a green shirt and yellow skirt, and a silver and red shoulder; The big girl is a goose yellow top, a moon white skirt, and garnet red shoulders. All the maids and mothers-in-law are tied to a big red palace silk.

In the inner courtyard, there is a mother-in-law every ten steps, especially the garden where the girls are, and it is guarded so that even a male fly does not want to fly in.

At five o'clock in the morning, all the owners of the house got up. In ancient times, the wedding was generally held at night for those who were married to those who were "faint". Going to greet the bride in the morning is actually like going through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, all kinds of difficulties, and you have to walk around the main road in the city, and it is good to marry the bride into the door in the afternoon! (I checked a lot of information, but it's still not clear, so it's pure fiction, and you can spray if you don't like it!) )

Although the wedding is held at night, it does not mean that you can be free during the day.

Although the serious dinner generally starts at five o'clock and ends at nine o'clock, the Song family began to set up a flowing water banquet as early as the day before the wedding, and it will be placed until Mrs. Shizi returns to the door.

The chef who made the banquet is the master of Wangxiang Building, for which Wangxiang Building was closed for two days, and all kinds of fresh ingredients have been continuously sent to Shun Anbo Mansion since the day before yesterday and this morning.

In ancient times, people were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the mat was naturally divided into high and low, and people of different identities used different mats.

The master chef of Wangxiang Building is only in charge of the two tables in Sui'an Hall and the five tables in the outer courtyard, and there are stewards in charge of candy, snacks, and tea, as well as cold dishes that have been prepared long ago, and steamed dishes in the drawer. All kinds of cutlery, tea sets, and wine utensils were moved out of the storeroom.

The two tables of guests in the flower hall of Sui'an Hall can be said to be the highest status among the guests, and all the utensils are carefully selected: the tableware is carved with red agate and rich entwined branches and lotus patterns, the tea set is white jade pinched gold silk peony, and the wine vessel is carved with green jade and plum blossoms.

These utensils are all for the wedding of the prince, the third master personally supervised it, and a lot of silver was taken out like flowing water, and a famous troupe in the capital was invited, hoping that the guests and guests would have a party.

The old lady wore a moon-white square-mouth stand-up collar midshirt this time, a light gold bottom with a folded branch peony embroidered placket, and a dark red horse-faced skirt with dark gold piping.

A round bun was combed on the head, a magpie hairpin carved from red agate amber stone was inserted obliquely on the left, three double happiness hairpins inlaid with red gold and rubberies were inserted on the right, and a cloud bat pattern with light gold and red edges inlaid with emerald gems was inserted.

On his neck, he wore a string of one hundred and eight imperial green glass jade beads the size of lotus seeds, and the rest of the earrings, rings, and bracelets were all from the same piece of jade, which was indescribably luxurious.

Su Su picked out a peony yarn flower in the makeup box, pinned it to the back of the old woman's head, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady!"

Yang Liu also led the subordinates of Sui'an Hall and said in unison: "Congratulations to the old lady!"

The old lady smiled: "Rejoice and rejoice!" Tell me to go down, and give me more energy and vigilance today. Waited for the day. The whole government will give another two months of reward. ”

Wen Xin'er's subordinates were all cheering, last month was Shizi High School, and it was rewarded two months ago. This month is the marriage of the son, and the reward is two months of monthly money. This makes everyone look forward to the fact that Mrs. Shizi will be happy immediately next month, and the reward will be in hand again in two months!

In order to reward money, the subordinates are all cheered up, and they must not make any mistakes!

After breakfast, the three ladies, several girls and relatives and friends from Yangzhou all came to Sui'an Hall, and the second aunt, the third aunt and the eldest uncle were all assigned an errand by the old lady - to accompany the guests.

These are not mentioned for the time being, but it is only said that the auspicious time has come, the prince is dressed properly, riding a tall horse, accompanied by the sedan chair bearer, the person who beats the gong and drum, and a few young masters and a few friends who know the prince, acting as a male bridesmaid.

banged all the way out of the door.

Sui'an Hall, the old lady was talking to the old lady of the Li family, and the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper of the outer courtyard (Yang Liu's mother) came over, and came in to greet the old lady and Mrs. Li, and said: "The old man said that the old lady should clear the yard, except for Mama Qin and the four big maids who are waiting by her side, everyone else avoids it, and our mother-in-law and the little princess are here!."

The old lady was startled when she heard this, "How did you come, people?" Why didn't you even have a letter before! ”

Yang Liuniang replied: "When the noble man arrived at the door, the eldest lord got the letter, it was the saint who accompanied the mother and the princess, and it was a private visit to the micro-service, and no one else knew about it." Shengshang and Niangniang both said that they didn't need to make a noise, just sit for a while and leave. The eldest lord was accompanying the saint in the study, and the mother and the princess sat in a sedan chair, and they arrived at Sui'an Hall after a while. ”

The old lady hurriedly asked Su Su and Yang Liu to instruct the subordinates to go to the backyard, so as not to collide with Niangniang.

Mrs. Li also wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by the old lady, "It's okay for others, you are your mother's aunt and uncle, you can't see it anywhere!" You haven't seen her in almost 20 years, and I don't know when the next time we'll see her! Mrs. Li didn't insist.

Outside, Su Su and Yang Liu only said that the distinguished guests had come, and after settling down, they saw that the luxury sedan chair commonly used by the old lady was carried over by eight stout women.

Su Su saw the mother-in-law carrying the sedan chair into the courtyard, and when they retreated to the courtyard, she closed the courtyard door, opened the sedan curtain with Yang Liu, and asked the mother to get off the sedan chair.

At this time, the old lady and the old lady Li were helping each other out of the house......
