Chapter 306 is calm

Song Guogong has a hard temperament, and since he was demoted from Chang'an, he has never stepped into Chang'an City for half a step, and this time Xiao Song personally invited him.

The weather had already begun to get hot in mid-March, and Ran Yan began to sweat a little in her layered dress vest. Tang people rarely get married in summer, and it is no wonder that the Xiao family is in such a hurry to organize the wedding, if spring passes, they must wait until late autumn, when Xiao Song is already twenty-eight. The man of twenty-eight in ancient times, without a wife and no children, is not sad, it is simply a tragedy.

Xiao Song's mansion is very close to Xiao Ruizhi's mansion, and it will be there in more than a moment.

Xiao Song got out of the carriage first and stretched out his hand to help Ran Yan get out of the car, there were already servants and maidservants at the gate, and when they saw the two of them, they saluted together, "Jiulang, Mrs. Jiu." ”

"Excuse me, Aya and Mother?" Xiao Song and Ran Yan stood side by side, holding her hand, and went straight to the house.

The maids and maids followed, and the first seventeen or eighteen-year-old maidservants stepped forward slightly, led the way for the two, and replied softly and slowly, "Ah Lang collapsed at two o'clock in the fifth watch, and his wife had already had breakfast, and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers for a while, and now Princess Da Lang has also eaten not long ago, Shiro and the county lord have just arrived, and they are accompanying Ah Lang and his wife to drink tea in the hall." But the lady got up for a while, and was eating. ”

On the surface, she was just saying that the masters in the house had done it, but it contained a lot of information.

For example, Song Guogong collapsed when he heard the sound of more drums, probably remembering the time when he was in the court, and thinking of all kinds of things that were degraded, and he was in a bad mood. But when I went to enjoy the flowers, it didn't seem particularly bad. And the family did not dine together, which is very unusual for a family with heavy rules, and who made Song Guogong unhappy.

And Mrs. Tai categorically won't stay in bed, but because she feels that Ran Yan is not in the house, so as not to make everyone think that she can't do anything if she is full of food and drink, just wait for her to come, and the old lady will deliberately be slower. Song Guogong and the others will be dissatisfied if they wait for the bride for too long, but it is natural to wait for the old lady.

Ran Yan secretly analyzed these words, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot, no matter how others don't treat her, it's okay, with Mrs. Tai's backer, she is stronger than Du.

And Xiao Song didn't lie to her, this mansion almost became a princess's mansion in disguise, so the Xiao family did not decide to hold the marriage of Ran Yan and Xiao Song in the old mansion. This means that Ran Yan doesn't need to get up early in the morning to say hello to her mother-in-law in the future, nor does she need to get along with two distinguished sisters-in-law all day long, which is undoubtedly very easy.

Thinking of this, Ran Yan felt that even if he was set up by the Dugu clan today, he had nothing to complain about.

Ran Yan didn't look around, and followed the guidance of the maid to the door of the main hall.

The maid announced, "Ah Lang, Madam, Jiu Lang and Nine Lady are here." ”

Two maids came out and opened curtains for Xiao Song and Ran Yan.

Ran Yan walked into the house half a step behind Xiao Song, raised his eyes slightly, and saw an old man in his sixties on the main seat, dressed in a dark purple round-necked regular clothes, in good spirits, with gray hair, long eyebrows and sideburns, a straight nose, and a rigid and serious expression. And next to him sat a woman in a blue dress, with exquisite makeup. There are two middle-aged couples sitting on the left and right sides, the men are wearing regular clothes, and the women are all cyan Zhai clothes.

Zhai refers to the pheasant, Zhai Yi is the life of the woman, the higher the level of the woman, the more pheasant patterns on the clothes.

Zhai clothes are generally used when receiving registration, from silkworms, great court meetings, and marriages, and they wear Zhai clothes at this time not to show off their status to Ran Yan, but to attach importance to the bride. said that he was not contemptuous because Ran Yan's background was not enough.

The two walked to the main seat and kowtowed to their parents.

I just knocked two, and I heard the maid report that the old lady was coming. Song Guogong and Dugu accepted their salute steadily, and then stood up to greet the old lady.

The old lady is also wearing a cyan Zhai dress, she is the lady of the country, obviously there are more Zhai on the clothes, and she looks very solemn and gorgeous.

"Mother." Song Guogong and Dugu Shi Li. Immediately after the grandchildren and their wives saluted, they sat down.

Ran Yan took the time to glance at Xiao Song's two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law, Xiao Ruizhi is in his forties, Xiao Kaizhi is around thirty-eight years old, Xiao Ruizhi is more like Song Guogong, his expression is rigid and serious, Xiao Kaizhi is a little bookish, and he looks more kind. And their wives are just the opposite, Princess Xiangcheng is gentle and dignified, and the look of the county lord of Jiarong is more serious.

Ran Yan knelt down and prepared to give tea to Song Guogong and Dugu's family, and before that, Chan Niang opened the box containing Jinpa in front of Dugu's family. Although Mrs. Tai is an elder, Dugu is Ah Yan's mother-in-law, so she should be the first to see it.

Dugu glanced at it, and was about to nod, but he made a move, and then looked at it again before he bowed his head.

Chan Niang presented the box to Mrs. Tai. In the end, Mrs. Tai was more calm, her expression was not the slightest different, and after looking at it, she said lightly, "Let's make tea, I've been a little tired recently, and I'll stay for a short time." ”

Let the elders and sisters-in-law in the family witness the chastity of the bride, which is not a shame in the Tang Dynasty. Originally, as long as the elders admit it, the concubine is also making fun, so naturally it is not good to ask to see it.

The maid carried the tray to Ran Yan, she picked up the teacup, her body slightly faced Song Guogong, and she held the teacup with both hands and held it high above her head, "Ah Weng, please use tea." ”

Although Song Guogong did not squint, he saw Ran Yan's every move since he entered the house, calm and dignified, even though he looked beautiful but did not have a trace of fox, and his whole body had no small family spirit, he was quite satisfied, so he took the teacup, took a sip, said a few words of teaching, put down the teacup, and put a palm-sized rosewood box in the tray.

Ran Yan gave tea to Dugu's family again, "Ah Jia, please use tea." ”

Unexpectedly, the Dugu family did not embarrass Ran Yan, nor did he give Ma Wei, he took the tea cup happily, took a sip lightly, and said, "Since you marry into my Xiao family, you have the responsibility to ensure that you do not disgrace the Xiao family, remember the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, abide by the Xiao family rules, and most importantly, serve your husband carefully and spread the branches and leaves for the Xiao family." ”

Serving the husband and spreading the branches and leaves are two different things, but being put together by the Dugu clan in such an order has an ambiguous meaning.

Ran Yan was embarrassed, but he still said calmly on his face, "My daughter-in-law remembers the teachings of the A family. ”

"Well, I will return to Qizhou tomorrow with your Ah Weng, and you don't need to serve Weng Po, you must spend more time on your husband." Dugu then instructed.

Ran Yan said respectfully, "The daughter-in-law must take Ajia's words to heart." ”

Only then did Dugu put down the teacup, put a red bag in the tray, and said, "Go and give tea to the old lady." ”

In fact, Dugu's prepared two meeting gifts today, if Ran Yan didn't meet her wishes, she would send it away, but unexpectedly, this daughter-in-law was not the kind of delicate and timid Jiangnan woman she had in her impression, and there was a natural nobility in her bones. Dugu wanted to admire the woman who was in danger, and when he saw that Fang Jinpa, he felt that it was not easy for his son to suffer for so many years, so he never made it difficult.

After Ran Yan kowtowed to the old lady, Xiao Song led her to introduce her brother and sister-in-law one by one. After receiving a round of gifts and saying hello slightly, Dugu helped the old lady to lead the three daughters-in-law down.

When he went out, he explained to Princess Xiangcheng and the lord of Jiarong County, "If there are concubines in your room, call them out and let them know the third lady, so as not to even recognize the master behind closed doors." ”

The third lady only refers to the ranking of Song Guogong, and the Dugu family said this, but only focused on the difference between the main room and the concubine room.

Princess Xiangcheng and the county lord of Jiarong responded with some embarrassment.

Ran Yan knew that they were embarrassed after thinking about it for a while, she had heard Xiao Song say that the two brothers only had one room and no concubine room. I don't know if Dugu asked knowingly, or if he really didn't know.

"Xiangcheng, Jiarong, you accompany Yuezhi's daughter-in-law to the mansion for a walk." The old lady said suddenly.

The two of them should be, so they invited Ran Yan to go along. Ran Yan is definitely not liked, she has always been very accurate in looking at people, although Princess Xiangcheng looks gentle and virtuous, but in the end she is a princess, she has an innate nobility and pride in her bones, and although the status of the county lord of Jiarong is not high, she is the daughter of Princess Pingyang, and the daughter of the princess naturally has no title, but Princess Pingyang has made great contributions to the pacification of the Tang Dynasty, and after her death, she was buried with a military salute. Therefore, her arrogance is by no means less than that of Princess Xiangcheng.

And isn't the age gap between each other too big? Status age is obviously a huge and unbridgeable gap. Getting along with these two sisters-in-law, Ran Yan felt that she was destined to not feel good, and she would rather go and talk to Mrs. Tai.

Over there, Dugu accompanied Mrs. Tai to the backyard.

Mrs. Tai quietly didn't say a word, Dugu thought about it in her heart, and felt that Mrs. Tai had taken away a few daughters-in-law, there must be something very important to say, it was not a way to wait like this, she didn't ask the reason, and talked about the matter of Jinpa, "The A family also saw that Fang Jinpa, and Yue Zhi was afraid that he had endured it for too long, and he was a little ......."

She paused for a moment, and seeing that Mrs. Tai was expressionless, she continued, "After a month, it is better to add a few more beautiful concubines for her." ”

After a while, Mrs. Tai said slowly, "If Xiao Jiu wants to, he will naturally have it." ”

Dugu was blocked, and felt that Mrs. Tai's words were reasonable, and there was no way to refute them.

"The canonization decree has not yet come down." Mrs. Tai lightly mentioned.

Dugu's family is also very shrewd, and suddenly realized that the rank of the wife can be canonized after the marriage period, and the wife can wear a hairpin Zhai dress when she gets married, instead of wearing a hairpin dress, the level changes with the grade of the husband, but the palace presses Ran Yan's edict canonization not down, is there a foreshadowing?

"You're saying that Yue Zhi has a chance of promotion?" Dugu said in a soft voice.

Sleeve paper read an academic post today, saying that the Tang Dynasty wedding was not a hairpin dress, but a hairpin dress, lying on the ground, and I don't know if it's true or not. As for Zhai Yi, it looks too grand when she sees the bride, but everyone ignores it, and it is their Xiao family who follows this rule.
