Chapter 278: Wen Xian gets married

Since Wen Yi returned home, she has been busy. first sent Wenliang away, and then because summer has arrived, he has to start telling his family to prepare new clothes for autumn. This year, because Mrs. Lu lives with her in Beijing, the climate in Beijing and Pingyang is different, so naturally she can't do it according to the routine of previous years, and it is unknown whether Liu Dongxing can come back in the autumn, but he can't miss his share, fortunately, the head of the family, Uncle Shu, is old and gave Wen Yi a lot of useful advice, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Liu Qi also passed on their experience to her, so she didn't have much effort to get things done. Next, there are affairs on various granges, as well as the purchase of new Zhuangzi, new industries and other things, she has too many things to do, and she has no time to think about Duan Kerou.

When the matter of the new Zhuangzi has an eyebrow, the day of Wen Xian's marriage has also arrived.

This time, Wen Yi did not go to the Shilang Mansion as a maiden sister to get married, but as a sister-in-law of the mother-in-law, she went to the bachelor's mansion to help. Unlike the thriving Shilang Mansion, the Liu family of the Bachelor's Mansion does not have many close relatives in Beijing, except for the Liu Fu family, there are only two families, Liu Si and Liu Qi, and the latter is not on good terms with Liu Fu. Now that Liu Gu's family is "sick" again, the eldest son's wedding can't be called a side room, so it can only be presided over by the cousin Mrs. Liu Si, and Mrs. Liu Qi and Wen Yi will naturally come over to help.

The whole capital has long known about this marriage, but Liu Gu, who is the dual identity of the groom's mother and the bride's aunt, was unable to come forward to preside over the wedding due to illness, which still makes people can't help but talk about it. In the past few months, the groom has fallen ill repeatedly, and the bridegroom's mother has been rumored to be seriously ill and unable to serve, which is also very likely. At the flower viewing party in the palace of the road, the bride's name was damaged, and the groom was willing to come forward to take responsibility, which was already very kind, no wonder the Liu family wanted to take the Gu family's daughter-in-law to rejoice, and the Gu family did not object.

In the midst of this strange discussion, Liu Dongning, the eldest young master of the Bachelor's Mansion, wearing a red wedding dress, with a golden flower on his head, rode on a horse, with a pale and sullen face, accompanied by a group of lively and joyful companions, went to the Shilang Mansion to greet his relatives.

Scholar Liu Fuliu accompanied a few distinguished guests who came to congratulate him to eat tea and talk in the hall, and by the way, he probed the tone to see if the saint's attitude towards himself had loosened and what new developments had been made in several powerful families recently.

Master Liu Si greeted the guests in the front yard, accompanied by the chief steward of the Liu family, and he knew many middle- and lower-level officials or servants sent by high-ranking officials and nobles to send congratulatory gifts.

Mrs. Liu Si and Mrs. Liu Qi greeted the female guests who came to each house in the inner courtyard, and they also made a few friends who got along, the former was very happy, the latter was nothing, she was about to leave Beijing, that is, she met a big man today, and she didn't know each other in three years.

Liu Gu recuperated in her own yard, she went back to her mother's house for a trip, two days after returning home, she suffered from the wind, fell ill, and the maiden mother-in-law who had to be used around her was sent away by her husband on the charge of taking care of the master, and today she could only wear a decent coat, sit in the room, and receive a great gift from her son, and she could not go to the wedding banquet, nor could she go to the new house, and someone would send wine and food for her to enjoy, but Liu University was very considerate of Mrs. Son's heart, and specially sent two reliable mothers-in-law, Tell her about the lively scene outside, so that she can be happy and happy for her son.

Everyone in the family has their own duties, and Wen Yi originally planned to help, but perhaps because her identity in this mansion was a little embarrassing, she was only assigned one job: accompanying the sister-in-law who was not out of the cabinet and taking care of the bride.

This task was originally led by Liu Su, but now that the head of the house is sick, no one is in charge of the overall situation, Liu Fu only let Aunt Bai take over a few daily procurement affairs, but did not leave the housekeeper power to her, but handed it over to the eldest daughter, only said that it was to let her daughter experience the experience, and there are Aunt Bai and the housekeeper lady from the side to assist, if there is something you don't understand, you can also go to Mrs. Liu Si for advice, so Liu Su hurriedly took office, and now she is busy with the wedding banquet, where can she get out? I just wish that my sister-in-law would enter the door earlier and take over this burden.

Liu Su is busy, and the bride has not yet arrived, and there are only two sisters-in-law left who Wen Yi wants to accompany, one is Yun Ran, the youngest daughter of Master Liu Qi's family, and the other is Liu Yin.

Although Liu Yin is young, she is a little tricky and eccentric, and she doesn't like Liu Gu's family, and she can't get used to Liu Gu's nieces Wen Yi and Wen Xian, and because her father only let her sister Liu Su take care of the housekeeper but didn't let her touch her hands, she felt that she had lost face, and she was angry with Wen Yi, and she wanted to make some trouble for this cousin-in-law. So she first ignored Wen Yi's greeting, and ran to the second gate to find her brother to play, Wen Yi knew that her mother-in-law called her back, she didn't hear it, and still joked with Liu Dongjun.

However, at this time, there were already Liu Dongjun's classmates and friends who came to congratulate him, and there were many young men in the front yard who were good friends with Liu Dongning, Liu Yin was already eleven years old, and the girl of this age ran among the male guests, which was obviously very eye-catching. Liu Dongjun felt that his sister should not stay any longer, so he whispered to persuade her to go back to the inner courtyard.

At this time, Wen Yi sent her mother-in-law to call Liu Yin, and Liu Yin willfully refused, ignoring Liu Dongjun's words, and sneered: "What is my brother afraid of?" The people who came to the door today are all acquaintances of our family, who will be rude to me? There are not many outsiders at this time, so I'll talk to my brother here. She was given an errand to accompany me today, and I was not sitting in it, and she was to blame, so why should I help her? Liu Dongjun was so angry that he could barely speak.

The mother-in-law who passed the message told Wen Yi everything Liu Yin said. Wen Yi smiled slightly, and didn't take it to heart, but said to the girl from the bachelor's mansion next to her: "Go and tell Aunt Bai that the second lady doesn't know what's wrong today, she actually stayed in the front yard and refused to come back, and the third brother didn't persuade her." Today, there are many female relatives of the official eunuchs who come to congratulate them, so that people can see them, and they don't know what to say. The girl's reputation matters, let Aunt Bai invite her back. ”

A hint of surprise flashed across the girl's face, and she took the order. Wen Yi still sat still, teasing Liu Yunran without saying a word.

She is not Liu Yin's sister-in-law, but she came to accompany her temporarily, Liu Yin is playing tricks, she still has to accommodate? has a bad reputation, and it is Liu Yin who suffers, what does it have to do with her? Even if she invites someone back, the blame that falls on her head may not be less, Liu Yin threatens her with this kind of thing, which is really ridiculous

After a while, Liu Yin came back, with a little annoyance on her face, and glared at Wen Yi fiercely. Liu Yunran was taken aback when he saw this, and his eyes widened. Wen Yi just smiled and said nothing, and pointed to the two plates of newly delivered dim sum on the table, and said to the girl of the Liu family: "Send this to the fourth young master, he is young, weak, and can't eat wine, so he should also taste dim sum and be happy." The girl sent the refreshment. Liu Yunran smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you are so good, I still remember that the fourth brother is recuperating from his illness, and he can't come out to see the excitement." Wen Yi blushed slightly and said with a smile: "I am your sister-in-law after all, I always have to think about my younger brothers and sisters." Xiao Yunran happily raised her smiling face, but Liu Yin's face became more and more ugly, the strange thing was that she didn't make trouble, and she didn't know what Aunt Bai had just told her.

There were more and more guests, and even Dongping Wangfu sent two mothers to send congratulatory gifts. These two mothers are both decent people in front of the princess, and their identities are not ordinary servants, and they were solemnly welcomed into the inner courtyard by Mrs. Liu Si and sat on the table. Both of them felt that there was light on their faces, and they put up a shelf, as if they were also noblewomen. Several female relatives who were close to the Liu family came to see it, and they all went over to say hello. Maybe it's because there are a lot of people, Liu Yin is a little more stable than before, and she also left Wen Yi and Yun Ran, and greeted the two mothers from the palace with a smile on her face.

After more than an hour, the sedan chair finally arrived. Wen Yi pulled Liu Yunran and Mrs. Liu Qi to the front yard to watch the ceremony. Because of the large number of people, she only saw the bride and groom in red clothes from a distance. Liu Dongning's expression was still faint, his face was melancholy pale, like a wooden man, what the people next to him said, he did it, it was clear that he was the one who married his wife, but there was no smile on his face.

Wen Xian covered her head, she couldn't see what her expression was, her movements were much more natural, she got up and bowed, and the phoenix crown beads on her head didn't shake for a while, and some guests praised the bride as a dignified and elegant daughter. The waiter who was holding Wen Xian heard it, and there was a hint of pride on his face.

It's just that Wen Yi discovered a strange thing: it was Shiqin and another somewhat strange girl who supported Wen Xian, and an even stranger girl followed behind, but Qiushui and the other three girls newly assigned to Wen Xian by the Duan family disappeared.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds were welcomed into the cave room. Liu Dongning's classmates had already pulled him outside to pour wine on the table, so Wen Yi stayed in the new house with her sister-in-law to accompany Wen Xian.

At this time, the hijab has gone, Wen Xian is full of pearls, willow eyebrows and cheeks, more standard than usual, but the expression on her face is a little stiff, others joke with her, she just laughed twice in response, others asked her questions, she bowed her head and was silent. provoked Mrs. Liu Qi couldn't help but complain: "The bride is also too gentle, and she is really a noble daughter from a scholarly family." Wen Xian's face flushed slightly, her head hung lower, and Shi Qin stared at Mrs. Liu Qi secretly angrily. Wen Yi frowned, stepped forward to block her, and said to everyone with a smile: "Our new brother and daughter-in-law just entered the door, so she is naturally shy, so don't tease her, aunts." ”

Mrs. Liu Si smiled and said, "Brother Xing's daughter-in-law, although it is your brother and daughter-in-law, she is also your sister, why did you protect it when you entered the door?" Sure enough, it's the eldest sister-in-law."

Mrs. Liu Qi nodded: "This is the right reason, and there should be harmony between the concubines." ”

Mrs. Liusi's face stiffened, and she immediately stood up with a smile: "Okay, there are still many guests outside, I have to go out to greet them, you guys talk slowly." Then he went out. Mrs. Liu Qi instructed Yun Ran a few words and left with her. After a while, the female guests in the new room returned to the table one after another, and Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Su hurriedly came to the new house and took a turn, then went out to be busy again, Liu Yin had long since disappeared, except for the bride and a few girls in the house, only Wen Yi was there. Wen Yi said to Wen Xian: "Fifth sister, you can take a breath and eat something, are you tired all morning?" ”

Wen Xian said lightly: "Thank you sister for your concern, I have my own girls to serve." Shiqin hurriedly brought tea and went to the box on the table to pick snacks.

Wen Yi touched a cold nail, although she was not happy in her heart, she was not as knowledgeable as her, she turned around and walked out of the new house, but saw Qiushui and another girl standing under the porch, wearing good clothes, but holding a tray in her hand, and there was a covered bowl on the plate, exuding the sweet fragrance of osmanthus lilies.

Wen Yi watched Qiushui hand over the tray to the somewhat strange girl in the room, and then retreated under the porch, not like a big girl waiting closely, but like a rough maidservant, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, so she looked at her a few more times.

Qiushui turned around, her eyes flashed at the other party, and she quickly glanced back at the room, then stepped forward to salute Wen Yi, and said in a low voice: "The slave has seen the fifth aunt and grandmother, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Runxin and Hexiang. Runxin hurriedly said: "There is a small garden next to this courtyard, and there is no one here at this time." Wen Yi nodded lightly, glanced at Qiushui, and then ordered Runxin to lead the way, and after a while, she had already come to the small garden, Qiushui was only a few fingers away from her, and she also followed.

This small garden is only half an acre in size, planted with green bamboo, there are moon cave doors on both sides, several sheep intestine paths paved with round stones the size of chicken eggs are connected, there is a small pavilion among them, there is a stone table and stone pier in the pavilion, the pavilion is still Liu Dongning's own handwriting, it seems to be a place to read and rest, it is very quiet, and you can only vaguely hear the voice of the main courtyard talking.

Wen Yi sat down in the pavilion and looked up at Qiushui: "What happened in the past few days?" I see that the girl next to the fifth sister seems to have changed again? ”

Qiushui smiled faintly: "That day, the slave told Mrs. Cousin everything she heard, and Mrs. Cousin lost her temper, reprimanded Miss Cousin, and personally went to appease the fifth aunt and grandmother. The wife was angry and discouraged, so she went to the old lady to ask for guilt, and asked the old lady and the eldest lady to call the shots, and choose a suitable girl for the fifth lady. The old lady taught the fifth aunt a few words, and ordered the fifth aunt and grandmother to apologize to the wife, but the wife did not accept it, only saying that the fifth aunt and grandmother could choose the person to marry by themselves. As a result, the fifth aunt and grandmother each selected one person from the old lady and the eldest lady's room, and wanted to call the chess back. The old lady said that Shi Qi was already a person who was about to get married, and he was married to the eldest young master's little servant, so he couldn't be a dowry. The fifth lady begged the old lady for mercy, and the old lady made the decision and ordered the slave maid to continue to serve the fifth aunt and grandmother. ”

Wen Yi's eyes widened: "Did she really do this?" ”

"The fifth aunt did exactly that." Qiushui stared at Wen Yi, "Although the slave maid is a dowry, she is not liked by the master, but the master's order is difficult to disobey." Grandma Jiu, no, Grandma Da Shao, what do you say the slave should do? ”。.。
