After inserting the hairpin, Sheng Siyan went into the back room to change into a set of clothes and came out, and thanked the guests again.

As one of the last few processes of the ceremony, the Queen Mother, as the guest of honor, wanted to give Sheng Siyan a "word".

"The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced. The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is suitable. It is advisable to be false, to be guaranteed forever, and to be said to be the Fu of thought. ”

This is to give Sheng Siyan the word "Nianzhi".

Sheng Siyan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Although a certain person is not sensitive, dare not come at night." ”

After taking the words, listen to your parents' teachings on the way to be a woman and the way to be a person.

The whole process is over.

The housekeeper of the Divine General's Mansion just came out to greet everyone to the table.

The Empress Dowager and Empress naturally did not stay long, and soon left the Divine General's Mansion.

After Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan sent the Empress Dowager and Empress away together, they went back to the main hall where they had just saluted and said hello to their relatives and friends who stayed as guests, and the two left one after the other.

Anyway, after the ceremony, their affairs are completed, and the rest of the things are ordinary human exchanges.

Walking out of the noisy and lively hall of the inner courtyard of the Shenjiang Mansion, and plunging into the moonlight with a faint fragrance of flowers, Sheng Siyan couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked up at the bright moonlight, squinted his clear phoenix eyes, and had a slight smile on the corners of his lips, very satisfied.

She thought that in her life, there was nothing else she wanted.

What this life has given her is much better than she imagined.

She is very content, she will not get an inch, and she will not be insatiable to ask for more......

The two turned around a corridor and walked into the tree-lined path of the Divine General's Mansion.

On the path that was originally a little dark, a cute bud lantern suddenly lit up. A small fist-sized lump. Blooming on the grass.

One more step. A budding lantern was lit again, this time on a branch of a large tree.

Continuing to walk forward, a lantern of different shapes of buds bloomed at her feet, beside her, and above her head in turn, like a starry sky, and like a brocade of flowers, she seemed to be in the endless starry sky, stepping on auspicious clouds. Step by step.

Sheng Siyan smiled with a pair of eyes to complete the two crescents.

She spread her hands and ran on the grass, stunned by the sudden beauty.

Zhou Huaixuan stopped and stood still, with a faint smile on his lips, watching Sheng Siyan running happily in the grass in the forest, stopping in front of each bud lamp to take a closer look.

"Did you prepare it all?" Sheng Siyan asked with wide eyes.

Zhou Huaixuan was noncommittal, stepped forward and held her hand, his steps were calm, and he walked towards Qingyuan Hall step by step.

The road was long, but he held her hand. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, she is not afraid.

……

The grand ceremony of the Shenjiang Mansion once became the talk of the wealthy families in the capital. Even the palace has been talking about it for a long time.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, all kinds of crystal clear bud lanterns were suddenly sold on the streets of Beijing, saying that this lantern accounted for the joy and blessing of a nobleman, and the girl who used this bud lantern would marry a good man, and the woman would give birth to a big fat boy......

……

"Sister-in-law, there is a lantern festival outside tonight, the two girls of the Wu family, the two girls of the Zheng family, the three girls of the Jiang family, and the girls of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Shilang family, all said that they wanted to see the lanterns......" Zhou Yanli came to Qingyuan Hall on this day and whispered to Sheng Siyan.

It has been almost a month since the day of Sheng Siyan and the ceremony.

Zhou Huaixuan suddenly went out the day after her ceremony, and he hasn't come back yet.

Sheng Siyan was a little worried.

However, Zhou Huaixuan left Zhou Xianbai to listen to her, and at the same time passed his news to Zhou Xianbai.

Although Sheng Siyan knew that Zhou Huaixuan was fine outside, but she couldn't see anyone, she still couldn't hold back the worry in her heart.

Hearing Zhou Yanli talking about the night lantern festival with a yearning look on her side, Sheng Siyan thought about it, nodded and said, "Since everyone goes, let's go too." ”

"Really?" Zhou Yanli's eyes lit up, and she came over and hugged Sheng Siyan's arm and shook it, "Sister-in-law is so good!" ”

Sheng Siyan smiled and patted her hand, "You go back and prepare." I asked someone to talk to my mother, and there was also Zhou Da's steward, and asked him to prepare a car for us and arrange an escort. ”

Zhou Yanli nodded again and again, and went back to prepare.

Sheng Siyan first asked Mu Hibiscus to go to Lanshui Courtyard to ask Feng for instructions, and then asked Barley to go to the outer courtyard, and told Zhou Da Steward that he was going out to watch the lantern festival at night.

She is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Shenjiang Mansion, she travels, and it is night, and there are many things to prepare for the Zhou Da steward.

Mu Hibiscus came back first, and of course Feng did not disagree, and sent a mother-in-law over and said that he would go with them.

Sheng Siyan saw that it was Mama Fan beside Feng's side, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

This Mama Fan was originally a cook, and she came to her from Feng's mother's house in May, first as a cook, and then after Feng began to take charge of the house, she came to Feng's side to be a housekeeper.

Feng now relies on her inside and out.

Of course, she is also very capable herself.

Sheng Siyan looked at Mama Fan's old-fashioned bun and gray-brown and more old-fashioned clothes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

No matter how much Mama Fan hides it, she can't hide the beauty between her eyebrows, as well as the pair of eyes that often droop her eyelids and occasionally raise her eyebrows and squint, but they are radiant.

If this woman dresses up well, I don't know how beautiful she is.

But she was willing to make herself ugly and dress up old.

Sheng Siyan looked at Mama Fan, and seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, she picked up the teacup, uncovered the tea lid, scraped it on the edge of the teacup, and said softly: "Ordinary people are eager to dress up with three colors and seven points." Mama is very colorful, and she can't wait to hide seven points, what is the reason? ”

Mama Fan was stunned.

She is proud to have done a very good job of covering up, and ordinary people can't see her true face at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is just a tall and thin woman in her thirties with sallow skin, and she can't talk about "beauty" at all, and even the word "delicate" is far away.

But in the eldest and youngest grandmothers, they can see through her disguise at a glance......

Mama Fan's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "What do you mean by this?" The slave doesn't understand. ”

"I really don't understand. Or is it an ulterior motive? Sheng Siyan put down the teacup. Look at Mama Fan again.

Mama Fan was seen by Sheng Siyan's eyes, and the sweat on her back was about to come out. His mind was spinning quickly, and he said slowly: "Since the eldest and young grandmothers have such discernment, the slaves and maids are not afraid of the eldest and young grandmothers knowing." After a pause, she said again: "The slave maid used to be a mistake in appearance, provoking too many wild bees and butterflies, and she couldn't live her life well. Therefore, the slave would rather have a rough appearance than let people want to take a second look. ”

Sheng Siyan heard this, as if there was another story in it.

She looked at her for a moment. Only then did he say: "Well, since my mother trusts you, I won't have any other thoughts." As long as you are loyal to your mother, no one in this family will dare to beat your idea. After a pause, he said, "If there is, you can sue me." Even if my mother doesn't come forward, I won't let you be wronged. ”

Mama Fan was stunned for a long time before she bowed down and went out with the dressed Sheng Siyan to meet Zhou Yanli.

……

In front of a corner gate of the Duke of Wu's mansion. Zhou Huaili knocked on the door and was put in by the door.

"Young Master. The old man is waiting for you in the inner courtyard. Menzi bowed down and let him in.

Zhou Huaili nodded, and went straight to the inner courtyard to see Old Man Wu.

"Grandfather." When he entered, he arched his hand.

Old Man Wu nodded, "Sit." Then he asked him, "How did you do what you were asked to do last time?" ”

Zhou Huaili took out a booklet from his body, "Uncle's shops are currently doing well. This is the ledger. He added: "Uncle, this person actually has some benefits. As long as he finds the right person, he can be suspicious, use people without suspicion, and give his subordinates full opportunities. These shopkeepers have been wronged elsewhere, and now they are doing very hard here with their uncle, and they are also very eager for their uncle. ”

If you treat me as a countryman, you will be rewarded!

"That's good." Old Man Wu stroked his beard and nodded.

In May, the Wu Guogong Mansion quietly separated.

The eldest room and the third room of the concubine were separated.

With the wealth of the Wu Mansion, it is natural that they will not treat the two of them badly in terms of money, and the money, shops, and fields they get are sufficient.

The big house stayed in the capital, and the three rooms went to Jiangnan.

There is an alley in the capital that is the property of the Duke of Wu, and it is all distributed to the big house.

There are also many field shops in Jiangnan, and the three rooms are divided into a small half, and he suddenly became the richest man in Jiangnan.

The wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Jiang family and the Yin family, all have close contacts with them, or in-laws, or friends, and they live more comfortably than in the capital.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

When the family is divided into this, it is natural that everyone is happy.

Staying in the second room of the Wu Guogong Mansion is to inherit the Wu Guogong Mansion in the future, and I am also very happy to be able to enjoy the feeling of being the master so soon.

The only thing that Old Man Wu is not worried about is the big house Wu Changge's family.

Because there is only one concubine Wu Chanjuan in the big room, and she is a heavy pupil girl known as a "saint", so Old Man Wu deliberately left Wu Chanjuan in Wu Guogong's Mansion, and did not let her move out with Wu Changge, and also made it clear that Wu Chanjuan's future family affairs will be decided by Old Man Wu.

Of course, Wu Changge couldn't ask for it, and he had a daughter left in the Wu Guogong Mansion, so he, as a father, must have come back to have a look.

However, after he moved out, he found that living outside was much more comfortable than in Wu Guogong's mansion, and the most important thing was that he really became the head of the family, and no one stepped on his head to control him anymore, so he dispelled the idea of returning to Wuguogong's mansion and lived in the house he had shared.

He completely gave the shop to the shopkeeper, and agreed that he would only check the accounts once every six months, and he was happy to be happy with the shopkeeper.

Recently, he has been bent on finding a new wife for himself, and he rarely even asks about Wu Chanjuan.

Old Man Wu said on his face that he would no longer care about Wu Changge's affairs, but how could he not care at all?

He turned several corners and asked Zhou Huaili to help him inquire about the news from Wu Changge, but he couldn't save face.

After saying Wu Changge's words, Zhou Huaili got up and said goodbye.

When he walked to the second gate, Zhou Huaili saw Wu Chanjuan wearing a moon-white dress, standing at the door with a stunned expression, looking at the sheep intestine stone path opposite.

"Second girl, if you want to go out to watch the lantern festival, you can beg the old man." Wu Chanjuan's little maid whispered behind her, "You've been standing here all afternoon, aren't your legs sore?" ”

Wu Chanjuan didn't make a sound.

Zhou Huaili thought about it, turned around and called the mother-in-law who came out with him, and whispered a few words, and the mother-in-law hurriedly went back to talk back to Old Man Wu.

"Juan'er, what are you looking at?" Zhou Huaili greeted Wu Chanjuan with a smile.

Wu Chanjuan turned her head, looked at him in a daze, and was blessed, "Big cousin? What are you doing here? ”

It's not the New Year's Day, is there something?

Wu Chanjuan looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Huaili smiled, "I just had something to do with my grandfather." ”

"Oh. Then big cousin, you go and get busy. Wu Chanjuan blinked, took a step to the side, and made way for him.

"It's okay, it's okay already." Zhou Huaili looked at Wu Chanjuan and sighed.

It's only been more than a month, and Wu Chanjuan has lost weight again.

The previously round goose egg face has become a pointed melon seed face, and it looks like a pair of pupils with heavy phantoms, deep and moving.

Zhou Huaili glanced at it, then turned his head away and said, "Do you want to go out to see the Lantern Festival?" ”

Wu Chanjuan blinked, "How does the eldest cousin know?" ”

"I'll take you out to see." Zhou Huaili has always regarded Wu Chanjuan as her sister, and she pities her for losing her mother, and her father is not the one who can take care of her.

"Huh? Is that okay? Will my grandfather agree? Wu Chanjuan's eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed.

"I've already sent someone to tell the old man just now, it should be fine."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the woman to come back in a hurry and said, "The master said, just ask the young master to take our second girl out for a trip, and send them back in the evening." ”

"Look, I said no problem." Zhou Huaili said with a smile, and walked out of the second door side by side with Wu Chanjuan.

Wu Chanjuan was full of joy, for the first time since her mother died, a smile appeared on her face.

Her maid followed her with joy.

The master and servant went out from the Wu State Mansion and got into the cart, and Zhou Huaili rode a horse to accompany him.

walked all the way to the street of the Lantern Festival, and Wu Chanjuan got out of the car with the maid.

"Ahh It's beautiful! ”

When they saw the situation on this street, the eyes of the master and servant suddenly widened.

I saw that there are not only buds and lanterns of various colors here, but also pink and yellow petals scattered from the buildings facing the street from time to time, and they are spread all over the ground.

The moon is getting full in the sky, the streets are full of lanterns underground, and there are flower petals flying to cheer up.

The woman walking on this street is like walking in the most beautiful dream.

Wu Chanjuan closed her mouth in surprise, "Who is so talented?" Come up with such a beautiful thing......"

"Huh? You don't know? A sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman got out of the car next to her and glanced at Wu Chanjuan in surprise.

Zhou Huaili raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment, before bowing slightly, "Miss Jiang Si also came to see the lanterns?" ”

The woman who just got out of the car was the fourth girl Jiang Si who went to Sheng Siyan and Lu Li that day.
