Chapter 106: The Wedding

Soon after Su Qingyi was awarded the post of Guozi Priest Wine, the Su family sent the news that Ye Lang, Ye Jin and Lu Chunwang had been given prison places. According to the records of the Great Liang Law, the imperial court would allow the descendants of those who were above the third rank of the Beijing official to enter the prison as Yin Jian students.

Due to the existence of the late Emperor Ye, the Ye family was given a place as a shadow supervisor, which was obtained by Ye Lang, the eldest son of the long house, while Ye Jin and Lu Chunwang were both excellent supervisors who stood out from the examination.

When the good news came, it happened to be three days before Ye Yao's wedding, and Xie was taking Ye Yao and Ye Qiong to count Ye Yao's dowry.

Ye Yao's wedding has been organized since November, and after entering the lunar month, the whole house is even more busy. Although busy, everyone's face was beaming.

Ye Qiong's aunt Ye Xilan had just arrived two days ago, and when she heard the news of Ye Jin's imprisonment, she smiled and said to Xie's family: "Now, my sister-in-law is also the mother of the prisoner, and Yao'er is married so well, it's really a double happiness!" ”

Since entering the wax month, the smile on the corner of Xie's mouth has never disappeared, and he pulled Ye Xilan to count Ye Yao's dowry together: "Sister Xilan, you came just in time, come and take a look with me, this dowry is still complete, but do you need to add more?" ”

Ye Yao hurriedly stopped: "Ah Niang, enough is enough, a little more, but it is too public." ”

Ye Xilan smiled and coaxed: "How many boxes did I brought?" Remember to put the pearl box in front of you, these are all pearls that Yao'er and her uncle got when they went to sea, and they are rare in the capital! There is a lot of dowry, so it seems that the daughter's family is expensive. ”

Ye Yao's face was red when she heard this, so she simply stomped her feet and hid back in the boudoir to get married.

Ye Qiong smiled on the side and didn't speak, feeling emotion and joy in her heart, but more reluctant.

Her good sister is finally getting married.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is advisable to get married, which is a rare auspicious day.

When the eldest sister got married, Ye Qiong didn't need to do much, but Ye Qiong still got up early, accompanied Ye Yao to worship her ancestors, and then went into Ye Yao's boudoir, watching the invited bride wring noodles for Ye Yao.

Xi Niang is the wife invited by the Du family, the Du family has no relatives, the invitation is Du Siheng's Shangfeng Dali Temple Qing Shiqing's wife Dong family, Mrs. Dong's children are still there, she is a kind-faced Quanfu person, smiled and glanced at Ye Qiong, who was a little nervous, before joking with Ye Yao: "I see, the bride's sister is more afraid of the pain of this skein than the bride." ”

The room full of people laughed, and Ye Qiong, who was a little nervous, was embarrassed.

Because when Ye Qiong got married in the previous life, the bride was invited by the Korean duchess, and the Korean duchess didn't like Zhang Jingzhi, the eldest son, and hated Ye Qiong's humble background.

Ye Yao smiled and took Ye Qiong's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Qiong'er, I'll hold your hand." When I am in pain, I will hold your hand, so that you are not afraid of me. ”

Ye Qiong smiled and nodded, and Mrs. Dong wrapped the cotton thread in her hand, quickly twisted the dough, and evenly applied it to Ye Yao's face with the egg white that had already been prepared, and washed it off when the time came, and sure enough, her complexion was as smooth and delicate as a shelled egg.

Here they are still putting on makeup, and the maids over there have already taken out their wedding dresses and smoked incense. The wedding dress was rushed out by the Ye family's ready-to-wear shop, and the maids were very careful when they smoked incense, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "With such a wedding dress, what does the big girl have to be beautiful!" ”

The makeup on Ye Yao's face was only halfway on, and a maid hurriedly rushed over and shouted happily: "Big girl, big girl!" The bridegroom's procession was almost there, and the door said that the sound of blowing could be heard in the distance! ”

The boudoir, which was originally quite orderly, suddenly became chaotic, and Feng's mother, who was sent by the Xie family to be in charge of the entire marriage, lit the hairpin ring and shouted anxiously: "Eh, the eldest girl's coral hand, it was still here just now!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ye Yao's eldest maid Yu'er shouted, "Mother Feng remembered, this coral bracelet has been kept in the box, and it hasn't been taken out yet." ”

A maid came with a pastry and almost bumped into Ye Qiong who was standing on the side, but Ye Qiong helped her to stand firmly, Ye Yao happened to see this scene, so she smiled and said, "Qiong'er, why don't you go to the gate and help them block the door?" If it's too late, you won't be able to grab the red envelope. ”

Ye Qiong's eyes were filled with tears, she knew that as soon as this day passed, her sister would be a member of the Du family, so she wanted to see her sister again. But since Ye Yao said so, Ye Qiong naturally couldn't refuse, so she just chattered: "Sister, remember to bring more pastries to cushion your stomach, this wedding will be hungry all day." Also, remember to kneel down first when worshipping the church, and the folk say that whoever kneels first is the head of the family......"

"Okay, okay, I got it, let's go." Ye Yao interrupted Ye Qiong with a smile, her eyes blinked, and the tears in her eyes were eliminated.

Ye Qiong finally went out, and when she walked to the gate of the outer courtyard, she happened to catch up with the Du family's welcoming procession, and the first of the team was her future brother-in-law Du Siheng. Du Siheng was wearing a wedding dress, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was almost comparable to the peach blossoms in March.

Ye Qiong couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

It seems that her future brother-in-law is in a hurry, she can't let her brother-in-law enter the door so easily, as if her sister hates to marry.

Ye Qiong squeezed to the door, and heard someone call her "Senior Sister", turned around and looked, sure enough, it was Zhang Jingzhi.

Zhang Jingyi came early in the morning to congratulate Ye Qiong as a junior brother. The visitor was a guest, and Zhang Jingzhi was sincere, Ye Qiong naturally treated each other politely, and raised her eyebrows at Zhang Jingzhi with a smile: "You are also there." It just so happens that your literary skills are not weak, but be careful not to let exclusive people pass easily, otherwise, I will look down on you! ”

Zhang Jingzhi rarely saw Ye Qiong who was so radiant, first divided Ye Qiong's straw for beating the groom, and then grinned and promised: "Senior sister, don't worry." ”

On the Du family's side, Du Siheng led people to the door, bowed to Ye Jin and Ye Qiong in the middle, and said: "Siheng has seen my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, today I sincerely marry the eldest daughter of the Ye family's third room, can you please give me a convenience?" ”

Ye Jin said with a smile: "My eldest sister, dignified and elegant, gentle and modest, how can you marry away with such a casual word." Du Siheng, let's stop talking nonsense, I heard that you have good literary skills and high martial arts, especially in judging cases. I don't know if your reputation is true or not, so I'm going to teach you today! ”

Everyone laughed, blocking the door, isn't this the time to wait?

Ye Qiong also smiled: "Don't say anything else, let's make two hypnotic poems first, and I'll judge." If the style of this hypnotic poem is not good enough for me to nod, this door, Brother Du will not want to enter today. ”

Du Siheng smiled kindly, the hypnotic poem is a must-do bridge section to welcome relatives, and there is also Ye Qiong, who is a closed disciple of Mr. Zou, who is blocking the door, he naturally has already prepared two poems, and immediately read them out, and sure enough, the words are fluent and the rhyme is harmonious. Although the rhetoric is not very gorgeous, it is better than the truth.

Ye Qiong nodded reluctantly when she heard this, and said arrogantly: "Although the words are not too subtle, the affection in them is quite deep, and you can barely pass this level." ”

As soon as Ye Qiong's words fell, Zhang Jingzhi took over and said, "Dare to ask, how many years is the wheat near Daliang Kyoto, when was it planted and harvested?" ”

This question made both the male and female guests confused, Du Siheng was even more dumbfounded, and the prime minister next to him couldn't help but ask: "What kind of problem is this, who will know?" ”

Zhang Jingzhi squeezed his eyes at Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Jingzhi had been sent by his master to practice in the Ye Family Grange before, so he naturally knew the answer to this question. Du Siheng and the concubines he brought were all from the official eunuch family in Beijing, and they didn't even know what the unhulled wheat looked like, and they couldn't answer this question.

Du Siheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and several servants discussed, and hurriedly selected a farmer from the small maid who came with him, and replied: "It is ripe once a year, planted in March and April, and harvested in July and August." ”

Ye Qiong pinched the time, knowing that it was not good to miss the auspicious time, and in the corner of her eye, she saw Du Siheng's younger brother Du Siyan probing his brain, as if he was thinking about how to get through, so he made a gesture to ask the woman's doorkeeper to prepare to release the water, and said with a smile: "Eh, has this question been delayed for too long." This is not going to work, come, you must give silver. ”

Du Siheng wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, knowing that Ye Jin and Ye Qiong were about to release the water, he hurriedly handed over the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago, and while the female guests were weighing the size of the red envelope, he hurriedly signaled Du Siyan to quietly drill over.

Du Siyan was flexible, and he drilled into it when he saw the gap, Du Siheng took the opportunity to take the maids to attack suddenly, and the female guests who had already prepared released the water in time, and then excitedly picked up the straw and began to whip the groom and the bridegroom who broke into the door.

Ye Qiong fought up, Du Siheng was going to worship the church, so he naturally had to let it go, but the ministers behind him suffered, and they were beaten by Ye Qiong's elusive tricks, and among the women's guests, Gu Congyan, who came to congratulate him, smiled and gave Ye Qiong a thumbs up.

Ye Qiong smiled, but her eyes looked at Lu Shaodan, who was standing far away from the crowd.

The Lu family was naturally also on the guest list, and Ye Qiong had asked Lu Shaodan to teach her a few tricks earlier, and even prepared several questions about martial arts and the art of war to make things difficult for the groom. It's a pity that Zhang Jingzhi's question stumped a large number of people, so that Ye Qiong's question didn't come in handy.

Lu Shaodan didn't get involved in blocking the door, just stood outside the crowd, and when he saw Ye Qiong looking over, he nodded to her with a smile.

Zhang Jingzhi finished blocking the door, and his interest passed, and he was about to say a few words to Ye Qiong, but he saw Ye Qiong smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking in one direction fixedly, and following Ye Qiong's gaze, he saw Lu Shaodan.

Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, who is this young man, he is dressed in an ordinary way, but his bearing is like that he is from a family like the Korean Mansion. This is strange, why didn't he know that there was such a character in Beijing?

Zhang Jingzhi asked Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong paused, and then said, "It's just the son of my neighbor Lu Yushi's family." ”

Zhang Jingzhi was puzzled, but Ye Qiong said this, and he didn't think much about it.

In the inner courtyard of the Ye family, Ye Yao had already changed into her wedding dress.

Everyone saw Ye Yao with a flower crown on her head, her face like a peony, and the wedding dress on her body red like the morning glow.

Even Zhang Jingzhi, who is accustomed to seeing treasures, couldn't help but sigh: "The wedding dress designed by my sister for the bride is all over the capital, I'm afraid I can't find a second set." ”

The voices of boasting were endless, and Ye Qiong didn't have much joy in her heart, but more mixed feelings.

In her previous life, when Ye Yao married the Yang family, the Ye family had already declined, and even the dowry could not be scraped together.

In this life, Ye Qiong's gift to Ye Yao is this wedding dress that crowns the capital. Since then, everyone knows that Ye Yao, the eldest daughter of the Ye family's third room, was married in a beautiful way!

Ye Yao sat on Xie's lap, ate the sedan chair rice fed by Xie with tears, and said goodbye to Ye Qishu and Xie with Du Siheng, Xie covered his mouth, almost crying, and couldn't even say a word of farewell.

Ye Qishu also had red eyes, and only took the hands of the two people and said, "Siheng, Yao'er, originally, I prepared some scenes today to wish you a hundred years of good harmony and mutual affection. But now, I think that is still too broad. I don't ask for anything else, I just want you to be safe and well, and your life is good. Siheng, I'm going to hand over Yao'er to you now, don't let her down. ”

Du Siheng solemnly promised.

Old Madam Dong looked at the time, smiled and put on a hippo for Ye Yao, and shouted loudly: "Bride, go out-"

Ye Qiong pulled her handkerchief and watched Ye Yao walk away from her step by step, and when Ye Yao was finally about to step out of the threshold, she finally couldn't help but shout "sister".

Ye Qiong's voice was very small, like the rustle of the breeze blowing through the leaves, but Ye Yao still paused, quietly waved her hand behind her, and then went out under the urging of Old Madam Dong.

As soon as Ye Yao went out, Ye Qiong's tears slipped down, and Xie couldn't cry anymore, but Mrs. Lu, who came to watch the ceremony, persuaded her: "Okay, okay, it's a happy event for Yao to go out, why did she cry like this." It's better to think about how to prepare this banquet when you return to the door. ”

Xie Shi barely wiped away his tears, Ye Qiong silently walked out of the hall, looking at the Ye Mansion after the noise, his heart was stunned.

Zhang Jingzhi stood outside the hall, stopped Ye Qiong when he saw her come out, and said, "Senior sister, I don't want to go back to the Korean Mansion tonight, I want to live in the Ye Mansion with Master, can you arrange it for me?" ”

Ye Qiong was suddenly disturbed with tears, blinked her eyes, and unconsciously preached in her tone: "The Korean Mansion is your home, how can you stay in the Ye Mansion?" Go back quickly, or the Korean duchess will have to worry. ”

"It's not interesting to go back." Zhang Jingzhi said, his tone was lonely.

Ye Qiong opened her mouth and did not speak.

The situation of the Korean government, as the daughter-in-law of the Korean government in her previous life, is naturally clear. Since it is clear, it is not good to continue to persuade it.

Zhang Jingzhi saw that Ye Qiong didn't speak, but became anxious: "Senior sister, don't be angry. I am...... I don't want to go back, I'm afraid you'll be upset......"

Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, looking at the genuine concern in Zhang Jingzhi's eyes, the melancholy in her heart eased a lot, and said with a smile: "I'm not sad." My sister is out of the cabinet, and I am very happy. ”

Ye Qiong glanced at the falling snow, thought of the ending of Ye Yao and her little niece dying on the street in her previous life, and said, "I'm just, a little emotional." ”
