Chapter 516: Double Happiness (Part I)
Chapter 516: Double Happiness (Part I)
The weather in the north has always been warm and cold, even in February, but many people still burn the kang, and the jackets on their bodies are also tightly covered. The first month of the New Year's Day and the Lantern Festival has passed, and now even the most lazy people have to go out to find a job to prepare spring shirts, and the minds of civil and military officials have returned to official duties. As for the marriage of men and women who have been delayed because the first month of the lunar month is not suitable for marriage, the fight has been recovering since the beginning of February.
Although I am accustomed to seeing the big scene of welcoming relatives on the road, when the mighty welcoming party appeared on the street on this day, there were still countless onlookers, pointing and pointing to watch the excitement. The good thing didn't wait for the groom to pass in front of him, and even whispered to the person next to him.
"After this big wedding, Fourth Prince Chen will probably attack the Marquis of Yangning, right?"
"That's inevitable! It has always been the death of the prince, and the court always has to add a level when posthumously giving it, but when the Marquis of Yangning died last year, there was no movement in the court, and then when the ministers agreed on the name, there was a big quarrel, do you know what was finally decided? Seeing that the other people around him pricked up their ears curiously, the white-bearded old man who spoke at this time triumphantly stroked the beard on his chin, "Wu Thorn, the nickname is Wu Thorn!" This one martial word is enough, and it is inevitable that Wuchen will not have this one, but this one tattoo is exquisite. The former Marquis of Yangning was also promoted by the emperor, but he lost his love with the Son of Heaven, how can he last long? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion around them. Where can the people know these esoteric teachings, there are not many people who follow the coaxing, but there are many people who talk about the late Yangning Hou, and the others are sighing about the prosperity of the fourth son of the Chen family. It wasn't until the blowing and beating procession gradually dispersed that these people gradually dispersed, but there were also many idle people who stayed there, ready to wait to see the scene after the welcoming people welcomed back the bride from the Du family.
is different from what people say is complacent, but Chen Yan, who stepped into the gate of Du Mansion as a prospective son-in-law, really pinched a cold sweat. Because Chen Ying is his third uncle after all, he has been in decline before, and the marriage date has to be postponed for a year. But this year is not so good, Du Weifang suddenly saw that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, and ordered him to read historical records during his filial piety, and called him over to reprimand him every time Xiu Mu was afraid, and he was already afraid of his father-in-law, and he had leg cramps as soon as he arrived in front of Du's house.
It wasn't until he said goodbye to Du Zheng in front of the high hall, and after two routine admonitions, hearing Du Weifang's words, Chen Yan's heart that had been up and down suddenly fell into place.
"The son-in-law is half a son, although you lost both parents when you were young, but your sister taught you well, so I have always taken your progress. It's just that after that, you became a famous teacher in both civil and military affairs, but this step was inevitably too smooth. It is important to know that on this career, real talent and real learning are fundamental, and power and strategy are at most auxiliary, which is what makes you study diligently. After you marry Zheng'er, I will return to the emperor and let you go out to hone and hone, otherwise the former Marquis of Yangning will be a lesson for you! ”
Although these were all lessons, Chen Yan was extremely convinced, and he didn't even expect that on the day of the wedding, the father-in-law should not tell him this. Respectfully thanking these words, he welcomed Du Zheng out of the house. After the eldest brother Du Sheng carried Du Zheng on his back and got into the sedan chair, he solemnly bent down to thank him, but was helped up by both hands.
"You don't have to say goodbye, but Chen Yan, if you dare to bully Zheng'er in the future, then you can try my fists to be hard!"
It was Du Zhu, the second child of the Du family, who spoke. Although he is already a married person, he is serious on weekdays, but when he speaks at this time, how can he be in front of his father and people? Seeing that Chen Yan agreed, his slightly dark face improved a little, and he immediately snorted lightly: "Zheng'er is our most painful sister at home, and my father and mother have never let her suffer, so you can be regarded as so-so and worthy of her...... All in all, bring a nephew to show us early......"
Du Sheng saw that his younger brother was getting more and more unspeakable, so he had to cough hard, which interrupted someone. Calmly pressed on Chen Yan's shoulder, he nodded and said, "It's not early, let's go!" ”
After such a short delay in the Du family, the people who greeted the relatives naturally walked fast on the road. And Chen Yan, who was riding a tall horse at the forefront, couldn't help but look back all the way, and his mind was full of chaotic thoughts. I was thinking about whether my brother-in-law was so unattached when he married his sister; Thinking about Luo Xu, who once admired his sister, again; I was thinking about whether there would be anything wrong with the many preparations at home; I was thinking about whether the cumbersome wedding ceremony would make my bride tired...... All in all, when the sedan chair was finally carried into Dingfu Street, he finally managed to calm down.
After getting off the sedan chair, the heaven and earth table worshiped the heaven and earth high hall, and when the number of people entered the cave room gradually decreased, although the etiquette such as the tent was troublesome, it was easier than the scene in front, as for the bride's hijab, Chen Yan couldn't take his eyes off it, and put down the red Xipa and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful today!" ”
Although he knew that Chen Yan's words were to comfort himself, Du Zheng still couldn't help but be depressed. She is not like Chen Lan, even if Mrs. Wei is spoiled, but after all, everything is according to the rules, and she was frightened when she only glanced at her own appearance from the glass mirror before getting into the sedan chair, how can she laugh at this time. Therefore, under Chen Yan's coaxing and deception, she ate the dumplings of her descendants, and when she saw that she personally twisted a handkerchief and sent it over, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Wipe it, there are no outsiders anyway, why are you wearing this thick makeup?" Chen Yan said while handing the handkerchief to Du Zheng, and personally took off the heavy phoenix crown for him, seeing that Du Zheng hesitated for a moment, he called the girl to come over to serve him to remove his makeup, he happily sat next to him, "That's right, I had to rely on others at that time, and now of course listen to me!" ”
"If they are all married to daughters-in-law, they will know what to say!"
Chen Lan heard Chen Yan talking nonsense to Du Zheng at the door, and couldn't help but say a word, and then entered the house. Seeing Chen Yan standing up in a hurry, she lowered her face and said, "Everyone outside is still waiting for you, what are you talking about here?" Zheng'er has me by her side, are you still afraid that someone will bully her? ”
"Sister, I'm relieved if you say that!"
Chen Yan turned around and grimaced at Du Zheng, and then immediately got up and walked away. Seeing that he was running fast, Chen Lan had to press the plan to teach two more lessons, and stepped forward with a smile. Seeing that several mothers and Du Zheng's dowry girls retreated knowingly, she sat next to Du Zheng, but when she held the hand of the young brother-in-law, she smiled slightly.
"But you're still nervous?"
Although Du Zheng and Chen Lan were common, they quickly shook their heads at this time. It wasn't until Chen Lan talked to her softly that she gradually calmed down, and even whispered to Chen Lan that she hadn't slept well for several days, and finally muttered softly on the shoulder.
"Sister Lan, do you say that Dad doesn't like Brother Yan, why is he always so fierce to him? Before coming out today, my father gave Brother Yan a good lesson, and many people heard it, so I was afraid that it would not be good for him to spread it......"
Chen Lan laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, but he took advantage of the situation to hug Du Zheng's shoulder: "What's wrong?" Everyone knows that Du Ge Lao Ya Shore is high, and he is strict with his son-in-law, what else can others say? Don't think nonsense, just look at Chen Yan's happy appearance, you know that he is a person who is used to being trained by Du Ge, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he should let him come to the door every day to ask for training. ”
"Sister Lan!"
Listening to this affectionate Sister Lan, Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh, and lightly touched the tip of the little girl's nose, then stood up, took the comb in her hand, combed her hair, and said a few words of comfort in her mouth. It didn't take long for there to be a sudden movement outside, she looked up, but saw that it was Zhang Huixin pulling Zhang Bingyun to probe her brain, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, and immediately opened her mouth and shouted: "If you want to come in, come in quickly, what are you hiding there!" ”
"Isn't this a good thing for fear of disturbing the heart-to-heart conversation between my aunt and sister-in-law?"
Zhang Huixin entered the room with a smile, how could he be embarrassed to peep and eavesdrop outside, but he looked confident: "I just saw Luo Shizi pry His Royal Highness King Zhou to pour wine for Chen Yan, it is not a cup, it is a big bowl!" ”
"Ahh Du Zheng couldn't help but blurt out, "He's not very good at drinking!" ”
"He? Sister Zheng'er, who is he? ”
Zhang Bingyun stepped forward to make a joke, and when he saw Du Zheng's little face crimson all of a sudden, he couldn't help but feel extremely interesting, and he almost wanted to pinch his red cheeks, but it was easy to hold back. Chen Lan saw that the two of them were in one gear, so he had to come out to help Du Zheng block it, but the three of them stood there and talked to Du Zheng lively, and the somewhat stiff atmosphere in the new house was immediately diluted. A mother flatteringly brought tea up, Zhang Huixin simply moved a stool, and the three of them sat in front of the bed.
Zhang Huixin said that there were many guests today, and suddenly a mother outside hurriedly walked in, and before she had time to salute, she opened her mouth and said: "Third aunt, Mrs. Dai, Mrs. Shizi, there are people in the palace outside, the old lady is busy with Zhang Luoxiang's case, you hurry up and take a look!" ”
"What is the will at this time?" Zhang Huixin got up in surprise, and saw that Zhang Bingyun's heart moved, and she actually squeezed her eyes at Chen Lan, she suddenly realized, and couldn't help but put her palms together and said, "Is it that?" Oh, if that's the case, it's a double happiness, and the old lady will be overjoyed! She said and suddenly twisted Du Zheng's face with a smile, and then squeezed her eyes at her, "Sister Zheng'er, from now on, everyone will have to say that you are a prosperous husband!" ”! ~!
