As he spoke, there was a lively sound of laughter outside, covering out the voices of people in the flower hall whispering and laughing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The bride has arrived!" With the shouting of the lady at the door of the flower hall, the flower hall was suddenly silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the bride who was helped in by the bride.
Chunqing's sister-in-law Min looks not to mention that she is beautiful and glamorous, but she is gentle and well-behaved, down-to-earth and generous, worthy of being the daughter of the family of poetry, books and etiquette, Chunqing fell in love with her at a glance.
Chunqing's mother sat in the first place with a smile on her eyebrows, looking at her daughter-in-law who came to give her tea, her eyes were shining.
It stands to reason that Song Jingruo's status is the highest among all the guests, and she should sit first on the right side, but Zhaoyang sat down in the position that belonged to Song Jingruo, and had no intention of getting up and giving it to her.
And also pulled Chunqing to sit in the second position.
Song Jingruo pursed her lips, although she felt uncomfortable, she had no choice but to sit down beside Chunqing, and by the way, she pulled Jiang Qin to sit on her other side.
The three of them sat down, and the other guests lined up in turn.
Those guests who had just slapped Jiang Qin in the face at Jiang Qin's makeup ceremony now watched Jiang Qin sit down next to the second princess, and the two looked very intimate when they talked and laughed, and they suddenly panicked.
What's the situation, isn't the maiden family of the two princesses the girls from the Zhenguo Mansion? The prince and wife of the Zhenguo Mansion deliberately wanted to slap Jiang Qin in the face, why did the second princess have a good relationship with Jiang Qin.
Ah...... On the same day, a silk handkerchief was delivered, whether it was right or not.
The guests were going to die of sorrow.
But don't offend the second princess for the sake of Jiang Qin, these two princes are very likely to win that position in the future.
As a result, the eyes of many guests did not look at the bride, but wandered back and forth on Chunqing, Zhaoyang, Song Jingruo and Jiang Qin, pondering repeatedly.
Although she didn't expect so many guests to come today, she was a little surprised, but she was not stage frightened, and walked steadily to the Chunqing Niang, kneeling on the futon embroidered with acacia flowers and lotus that had been prepared.
After bowing deeply three times, he straightened up and offered tea to Chunqing's mother, "Mother, you drink tea." The sound is as crisp and pleasant as a jade bead rolling plate.
"Hey!" Chunqing's mother responded happily with a trembling voice, took the teacup and drank it comfortably, with a sweet face, as if this cup was not filled with Longjing, but with elixir and jade dew.
After drinking tea, handing the teacup to the maid standing aside holding a tray and waiting, Chunqing's mother turned her face from the table and handed a thick red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago to Min's hand.
Looking at the huge red envelope, the faces of the guests in the room changed.
This squire mansion should be rich, this red envelope is the largest type, and now it is stuffed with a lot of money, and there are thousands of taels in it.
Min took the heavy red envelope, and his heart trembled.
said that she had found a good family, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to lift her up like this as soon as she entered the door, giving her face like this.
Getting such a red envelope is enough to prove her status in the Zhou family and her weight in her mother-in-law's heart.
Min and Zhou Yan were originally concubines and concubines who were willing to fall in love freely, but now they have won the favor of their mother-in-law, how could they not be touched in their hearts.
The original anxiety because of the distant marriage was swept away, and at this time the heart was just warm.
The bride who followed the Min family to support her was the personal maid of the Min family, and when she saw that the Zhou family treated her young lady so well, the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel sour.
"Silly boy, although he is kneeling on the futon, he is tired all the way, get up quickly." Chunqing's mother said that she was going to help Min get up in person.
Min Shi hurriedly said: "It's good for my daughter-in-law to get up by herself." ā
Chunqing's mother was not reluctant, and sat up straight with a smile, looking at this daughter-in-law who satisfied her.
Min bowed deeply again, kowtowed to Chunqing's mother, and then helped the maid to get up.
The next step is to meet the women.
The Xi Po on the Zhou family's side smiled and raised a long and joyful tone and introduced them to the Min family one by one.
Of course, the first place in the list is Zhaoyang.
When Min heard Zhaoyang's identity, he was slightly moved.
Although the Zhou family is an official in Beijing, the official position of the father-in-law is just a squire, how can even the Zhaoyang county lord of the Anwang Mansion come in person.
The name of the county lord of Zhaoyang, the Min family, had heard of it when he was in his mother's house in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this was a corner that dared to walk sideways in the palace.
In the face of Zhaoyang, the Min family refreshed his mind and was extra careful, but he must not lose his manners in front of this county lord.
As Xi Po's singing ended, Zhaoyang took the meeting gift that had been prepared in advance from the maid behind him.
Originally, because Min was Chunqing's sister-in-law, Zhaoyang's meeting gift was not thin, but at this time, in order to clean up Song Jingruo and Jiang Qin, Zhaoyang withdrew a pair of superb jade bracelets in his hands.
"I am a good sister to your sister-in-law Chunqing, and if you fall in love with Chunqing, you will vote for me." Zhaoyang said as he put the jade bracelet in his hand on the tray held by the maid of the Zhou Mansion.
Out of the corner of his eye, he went to see Song Jingruo.
Sure enough, when Zhaoyang put down the pair of jade bracelets, Song Jingruo's face immediately changed.
Song Jingruo came to Zhou's mansion this time in order to slap Chunqing's face.
She didn't prepare any decent greeting gifts for Min at all.
But now, Zhaoyang not only prepared a rich meeting gift in advance, but also added a pair of bracelets, if she gave it again, it would not be Chunqing's face, but her face.
Fortunately, Song Jingruo deliberately dressed up when she went out, and the jewelry was also precious, and although she was unwilling to give it to the Min family, it was better than slapping her face in the end.
With her mind decided, Song Jingruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression became natural again.
The corners of Zhaoyang's mouth rose slightly, and he quietly pulled out a golden hairpin embedded with southern pearls on his head, this golden hairpin is the latest style of Jinlou this year, and a single hairpin can be sold for more than 2,000 silver.
What's more, there are only fifty such hairpins in the country.
It's a treasure.
The faces of the female guests present suddenly changed, and a burst of whispered voices rang out.
When they looked at Min again, everyone's eyes had become less than Fang Cai's, full of scrutiny and inquiry.
can get such a great gift from the county lord of Zhaoyang, and there are few in the whole capital.
At this time, those who had good deeds suddenly remembered that when the second prince married the second princess, what the county lord of Zhaoyang sent was just an ordinary face, and he didn't go in person, but just sent a character maid from the mansion to send it.
For a while, everyone's eyes wandered on Song Jingruo's body.
Song Jingruo was not a fool, so she naturally understood the meaning of this gaze, and her blood and qi flowed backwards, and her face was pale.
Seeing Song Jingruo's face, Zhaoyang looked at the tray in front of him that was almost piled up with her gifts, and showed a satisfied smile.
On such a festive occasion, if you want to clean up Song Jingruo, the best way is to let her break the money for the sake of face.
It can not only make Chunqing's sister-in-law get benefits, but also make Song Jingruo's liver ache.
Kill two birds with one stone, how good.
