Chapter 63: Marriage

After walking for a while, the lantern shop before was left far behind them, Qi Tanying was curious about the identity of the girl in red, and asked a few words casually.

Yan Li leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "She is the Ninth Princess." ”

This made Qi Tanying really surprised, it turned out that she was the most beloved ninth princess of the saint, no wonder she was so domineering and strong.

"She is different from Wu Shizi, she screams as a brother of Shizi, I'm afraid she likes him."

Yan Li stopped when he heard this, staring at her intently.

Qi Tanying was not used to him looking at herself like this, her dark eyes seemed to hide a cluster of scorching flames, and if she was not careful, she would burn the prairie fire.

couldn't help but turn his head away, but he heard Yan Li say: "He will be the master in the future." ”

Is it still the master?

"A prince of the Hou Mansion, a golden branch and jade leaves, but also matched."

Hearing her say this, Yan Li approached her again, "What about us, are we compatible?" ”

He was so close to her, his warm breath behind his ears, and a smoky red instantly appeared on his white face.

Faced with his questioning, she only said: "Those who have passed the eight characters will naturally match." ”

Yan Li didn't want such an answer.

He gave Tinglan some money: "You go to the tea stall and sit for a while, and I will go to another place with your girl." ”

After speaking, he asked Qi Tanying's opinion, but before Qi Tanying spoke, Tinglan had already answered, and at the end he didn't forget to advise: "There are many people on the street, adults must take good care of our girl." ”

Yan Li took Qi Tanying away as he wished, and the two went to the third floor of the welcome building, where he had booked a private room with a great view earlier.

Looking at the railing on the third floor of the welcome building, the street scene of the entire Chang'an Avenue can be taken into view.

Qi Tanying couldn't help but ask the people around her, "It is said that the Lantern Festival Welcome Building is hard to find, and you may not be able to book it if you have money, how did you do it?" ”

Yan Li smiled when she heard this, lowered her head and said in her ear: "This welcome building is the Yan family's property. ”

He had greeted the shopkeeper two months ago, and without his permission, no one was allowed to book out this private room on the third floor.

Qi Tanying's eyes widened after hearing this, this welcome building is actually the Yan family's property?

Before the two looked at each other, my aunt once said that although the Yan family had wealth, they were not rich, so they had been living in Le'anfang, which lived with ordinary people.

She thought back to the details of her relationship with him, and realized that he really didn't seem to be short of money on weekdays.

Not to mention anything else, the New Year's gift given to her by Mrs. Yan is a shop located in the east of Chang'an Avenue, which can not only be bought with money.

There is also this welcome building, standing on the bank of the Weishui River, backed by the bustling and lively Chang'an Avenue, is one of the most famous restaurants in Kyoto, but I didn't expect it to be the industry of the Yan family.

If he hadn't mentioned it himself, Qi Tanying would never have thought that Yingbin Lou would have the surname Yan.

She didn't know that the Yan family was not a wealthy family, and these properties were accumulated by Yan Li's grandfather and father over two generations.

In addition to this welcome building, Qiyi Zhai is also the property of the Yan family.

In Yan Li's generation, Yan's father wanted to change the court, send his son to learn literacy, and later was admitted to Dali Temple as an official, in order to keep the family business.

The Yan family knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, and has been living in Le'an Fang in a low-key manner all these years, and the neighbors only think that Yan Li is a Beijing official who leads a fortune and has a small amount of money.

After the surprise, Qi Tanying's mood slowly calmed down.

Her gaze fell on the brightly lit street scene, the night breeze was gently blowing, the green silk floated with the wind, and Yan Li stared intently at the quiet face of his fiancΓ©e.

"Bang!"

An abrupt sound shook the sky, Qi Tanying heard the voice, only to see a dazzling white light flashing, and the fireworks as bright as stars were quickly scattered in the air, bright and gorgeous.

The night sky is like a flower garden, and the fireworks are the first to bloom, and everyone stops to watch this beautiful moment.

Qi Tanying turned his head to look at Yan Li, he was watching the fireworks with a smile, and the moment he noticed her sight, he looked at her. The moment the two of them looked at each other, she saw the tender love in his eyes.

Yan Li gently held Qi Tanying's hands, and the cold touch made him frown, "Why are your hands so cold?" Is it cold? ”

Qi Tanying shook her head.

Yan Li held her hands and rubbed them gently, looking focused and serious. Qi Tanying stared at him quietly, and her heart became very soft at this moment.

The fireworks are still blooming in the night sky.

After the Lantern Festival, as the wedding date approached, the two never saw each other in private.

On the sixth day of the second month, the Qi family sent Qi Tanying's dowry to the Yan Mansion in Le'anfang, a full one hundred and eight lifts.

Seeing that the Qi family had married such a rich dowry, the neighbors of Le'anfang were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and their envious looks hung on their faces.

Not only the neighbors are like this, but even the relatives of the Yan family and Mrs. Yan's mother are also surprised, no one expected that Yan Li's wife who has not passed through the door is not only from a scholarly family, but even the dowry is such a big deal.

After the dowry entered the door, an aunt in the Yan family's fifth line pulled the old lady Yan and said: "Obediently, a full hundred and eight dowry miles, I have lived for such an age, and I have never seen a family that marries a daughter to give so much dowry." ”

The eyes of the fifth aunt of the Yan family kept going back and forth between the dowry in the courtyard and the old lady Yan, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

Why is she so lucky, when she was young, her husband was promising, and her son was still an official when she was old.

Now that his son is a lot older, he can marry a girl with a rich dowry and an innocent background, who is also a member of the Yan family, why can't this good luck be shared with the clansmen?

"I don't know if this scholarly girl is a good match?" She had heard that the girls from the reading family were the most tall and arrogant, and their eyes were on the top of their heads.

The smile on Mrs. Yan's face has not broken since she got up in the morning, and after hearing the words of the concubine in the next room, she said: "His fifth aunt, my daughter-in-law here is not only from a good background, but also gentle and virtuous, and you will be able to see her when she recognizes her relatives after marriage." ”

Hearing this, the fifth aunt of the Yan family smiled wryly, "It's still the old sister-in-law who is blessed." ”

While the two were talking, Mrs. Yan's younger sister Aunt Du came over to inform: "Sister, the dowry of my niece and daughter-in-law has all been brought in." ”

"Okay, good," Mrs. Yan nodded with satisfaction, and told Aunt Du, "Don't forget to give the reward." ”

After speaking, he said to Aunt Yan: "Go, accompany me into the house to talk." ”

Aunt Yan glanced at the yard reluctantly, and the acid water in her heart was about to gush out of her throat.

The dowry of the Qi family caused a sensation in Le'anfang, everyone knows that Yan Li, who lives in the east of Xinghua Lane and works in Dali Temple, is getting married, and the bride is not only rich in dowry, but also more than ten years younger than Yan Li.

So on the day of the wedding, the whole Le'an Fang was very lively, and I wanted to witness the bride's demeanor.

Qi Tanying sat in the sedan chair, not yet coming out of the sadness of parting, and was troubled by the noisy and chaotic sounds outside. Fortunately, after getting off the wedding sedan chair, he was soon introduced into the chapel in the hall.

My ears are much clearer.

Qi Tanying was supported by Ting Lan, holding the red silk in her hand, and the other end of the red silk was held by Yan Li in her hand. The two completed the worship under the guidance of the prime minister, and then Qi Tanying was sent to the new house.

The new house is in the backyard, and the bustle in the front yard can be faintly heard, and Tinglan accompanies her girl to sit in the new house and wait.

After sitting for a while, Qi Tanying felt a little uncomfortable that her abdomen was empty, and she couldn't help but gently rub her stomach.

Seeing this, Tinglan thought that her girl had not been dripping since the morning, and said distressedly: "The girl is hungry, the slave will go and get you some food." ”

Qi Tanying shook her head, "Forget it." "Let's bear with it.

Ting Lan was a little helpless when she heard this, "That slave will pour you a cup of tea." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a knock on the door, Tinglan stepped forward to open the door, and there was a maid standing outside with a food box.

The maid smiled and said to Tinglan: "Uncle is afraid that Madame will be hungry, so he specially asked the kitchen to make some light food." ”
