Chapter 166: Tang Ning's wedding
After the confinement in winter and summer, Ming Lanying and a few people have to rush to the capital.
He was raised well in winter and summer, and he gained three pounds after confinement, and he was full of energy.
Reluctantly took Ming Lanying's hand, "Sister-in-law, bring a blessing to Miss Tang for me, be careful on the road, pay attention to your body, when you arrive in the capital, it may be summer, this is a medicine to relieve the heat, remember to bring it with you, and remember to come back early......"
Ming Lanying nodded in response, "You don't want people to serve, I won't force you, pay more attention to your rest, Aunt Meng will also help you take care of the dynasty, children are difficult to bring, if you can't do it, go back to the palace, when we are not there, they don't have people to serve and are not used to it, you are tired and take the dynasty back to the palace for two days." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know."
Hebai was a little helpless on the side, his arm lazily rested on Shan Zhao's shoulder, the weight was leaning on him, and he muttered: "We should only stay in the capital for half a month this time, right?" Why is it as if we are going to stay for a few years? ”
Shan Zhao leaned slightly and let her lean on her hand, "You only have deep brotherhood, so you don't understand, this is deep sisterhood, thinking about each other, who is like you, everyone is a brother in your eyes!" When you meet, you will give two punches first, and the send-off is a drink. Look at your sister-in-law, pungent and gentle, and then look at you, barbaric and vulgar. ”
If it weren't for Shan Zhao's own enlightenment, it is estimated that he would be one of the good brothers by Hebai's side in his life.
Hebai snorted and slapped him hard with his elbow, "I'm barbaric and vulgar, then you find someone else to live with you!" When I arrived in the capital, I immediately told the queen mother to withdraw from the marriage, I don't want you anymore! Aren't all brothers and sisters the same? ”
Shan Zhao grinned and covered his ribs, held her arm firmly with one hand, and smiled cheaply, "The master likes your barbarism and vulgarity!" You promised me, you can't go back, master, I was born as your person, and death was your ghost! ”
Hebai glanced at him with disgust, but he didn't break away from his hand, "Disgusting." ”
Shan Zhao grinned and hugged her shoulder, "This is the truth, where is it disgusting!" ”
Shan Zhao didn't know that there were a few good brothers around Hebai who had been around her for so many years who were really pure brotherly love to her, but he wasn't anyway.
Meng Huaisu hugged Meng Chaochao on the side, the little Meng Chao was tightly wrapped, and he also wore a red tiger head hat, which was cute and lovely, and Meng Huaisu had a perfect dad image.
"The prince has a heavy army, and if he rushes back to Beijing this time, he is afraid that he will be excused by someone with a heart, so the prince must be careful."
"It's okay, I've already told the emperor, if anyone joins me at that time, I will be directly sent to a neighboring state to be a magistrate, and I won't be promoted within five years."
Ming Langtao raised his head and laughed, "You're still bad enough!" ”
The two stewards had to take care of the palace and couldn't go back to Beijing together, only Mama Cai followed to serve Ming Lanying.
Mama Cai commanded people to move the salute, Hebai and Shan Zhao were inspecting the horses, and the two stewards couldn't squeeze in the masters, so they could only give careful instructions to Ning'er.
Steward Chang: "Don't run around on the road, the little prince must be under the nose of the prince and princess, and take the wolf cubs with him wherever he goes." ”
Steward Ying: "Yes, this time when I go back, the prince should ask for the title of the little son, I hope to come back to be the little son!" ”
Steward Chang took out a few medicine bottles and stuffed them into Ning'er's small satchel, "This is brought to you by Zhao Laorang, this is to alleviate growing pains, this is mosquito repellent, and the little boy is practicing martial arts, this is the ...... for treating bruises and sprains."
Steward Ying took out two more medicine bottles and stuffed them into Ning Er's small satchel, "And this, it helps digestion, the princess sometimes eats a few more bites and doesn't digest it, the little boy remembers to take it with him, and this antidote to poison, you must take it with you." ”
Ning Er wanted to speak and stopped, he had grown up, he was not the child he used to be, but seeing the concerned and worried eyes of the two, the words that came to his mouth were finally forgotten.
The two stewards couldn't go back to Beijing together, and they were afraid that they would be tired on the road, so they couldn't take care of a few masters, so they could only give a little more instructions.
Steward Ying hesitated and handed out a letter, "This is a letter to my father, can you ask the little boy to help bring it to him......"
Steward Chang frowned slightly, although he felt that this request was a bit inappropriate, but he hadn't written to their father for a long time.
Ning Er happily took it, folded it neatly and put it in the small satchel, "Of course it's no problem, the housekeeper's grandfather must be very happy to receive the letter." When we are away, Brother Yuchang, Sister Yuying, you have to take good care of your home! And my library, you have to be careful about their remarks, and you must not mess up. ”
The two responded happily, "Yes, thank you little boy, don't worry!" ”
Ming Lanying summoned the two stewards, "During the period when we are not in the mansion, you can also take turns to take a holiday and rest." I have arranged for the cubs in the Hundred Beasts Garden to take turns on duty, they will arrive at their posts by themselves, they will not run around, you don't have to be afraid, just go to the Hundred Beasts Garden on time every day to feed them. ”
"Yes, understood."
Handed over the palace to them, Ming Lanying was quite relieved, and the group got into the carriage and set off in a hurry.
In the past two years, the emperor has also raided the homes of several corrupt officials, and the property of the Guangming family is enough to fill the treasury.
If you want the country to be rich and the people strong, and the road is easy to walk, the emperor allocated silver two to build the road first.
Not long after the great change of blood in the court, it was when the hundred officials tied their heads to their belts and did their jobs, for fear that they would be accidentally found out by the emperor and put in prison.
Therefore, the road construction work was done quite decently, and even the most remote side roads were almost half repaired.
It took a little more than two months for Ming Lanying and the others to rush to the capital, just in time for the eve of Tang Ning's wedding.
Go back to the house and settle down first, the king is worthy of being an all-round steward, not only keeping the house in order, but also the property in the house has not been left behind, and the income in the house has been piled up in two warehouses.
Ming Lanying happily counted the silver, and the king steward handed over the account book.
"I'm worried that I won't have a chance to send it to the princess and princess, this time, let's take it back together when the princess and princess go back!"
Ning Er took out a thick envelope, "Grandpa Steward, this is a letter from Brother Yuchang and Sister Yuying, they miss you very much." ”
Steward Wang's eyes were slightly wet, and he took it with a trembling hand, "Old slave, thank you little boy." ”
Ming Lanying smiled, "Don't worry, steward Wang, they are doing a good job, and I am very relieved that the palace has been handed over to them." ”
Steward Wang bent down deeply, "The old slave Xie Princess praised you, the little girl and the dog bothered you." ”
Ming Lanying praised casually, but she didn't expect Steward Wang to be so formal, "What a big deal, hurry up." ”
Ye Juelu patted the king soothingly, "I'll go to the palace to see the emperor later, and make arrangements." ”
"Yes."
Ming Lanying rubbed Ning'er's little face, "Ning'er hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, will she be afraid now?" ”
Ning Er shook her head, "Uncle Emperor is very good to Ning Er, Ning Er is not afraid." ”
Ning Er hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Mother, how long are we going to stay in the capital before we go back?" ”
Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ning'er doesn't like the capital?" Don't be afraid, this time we will go back after attending Sister Tang Ning's wedding. ”
Ning Er nodded, after living in the capital for a few years, the emperor and queen were very good to him, but Ning Er never had a sense of belonging to the capital.
He doesn't like the bustle and emptiness here, and he has to be careful when talking to people, and he has to figure out the identity of the other party and the relationship behind it.
It's not as straightforward as the people over there, not to mention that his father and mother are the biggest in Biansai, and Aunt Hebai and Uncle Shan Zhao cover him, no one can bully him.
Before Tang Ning's wedding, Ming Lanying secretly went to see her, and brought her own customized congratulatory gift, a gold-inlaid yellow rosewood magpie climbing dressing table.
Tang Ning hugged her in surprise, "Last time Hebai told me that you had an accident, it scared me to death!" It's good that you're here in full, otherwise I wouldn't want to end this family affair! ”
Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, and patted her on the back, "Oh, look at you, I'm scared, the leader of the dignified caravan, what can scare you when you go south and north!" ”
Tang Ning ravaged her face, "It's you, it's all your territory, how can there be an accident?" ”
"Whew! Unlucky! But Ye Jielu avenged me and knocked down other people's territory! ”
Tang Ning sneered, "That's how it should be!" This revenge is cool! ”
Ming Lanying patted the big box, "Open it up and take a look, the congratulatory gift for you, this thing can't be given on the surface, they will join us, so they can only send it to you secretly." ”
As soon as Tang Ning opened the box, he was flashed by the gold edge, the gold-inlaid dressing table of yellow rosewood, and the drawers were also inlaid with complete gemstones.
Tang Ning looked at her in astonishment, "No wonder you want to send it secretly, if you carry it out, others will know that your Yanwang Mansion has a rich background!" ”
Ming Lanying smiled smugly, "You open this drawer and take a look." ”
Tang Ning pinched the ruby handle, pulled it gently, and saw a pair of concentric knotted warm jade pendants, which looked top-grade at a glance.
Tang Ning held the jade pendant with a smile in her eyebrows, "You are really rich and noble, don't forget it!" You won't use all the dividends I give you in it, right? ”
Ming Lanying smiled, "It's only half and a half!" How can your eldest sister make you not have a face, how about the second son of the Shen family? ”
Tang Ning's cheeks were crimson, but he also said frankly: "It's not bad, it fits." ”
"That's good!"
The two talked for a long time, and Feng Chun outside the house knocked on the door, "Miss, princess, Shen Ergongzi is here." ”
Ming Lanying was puzzled, "Isn't it that you can't meet before you get married?" He's ......"
Tang Ning glanced at her with a shy smile, "I can't meet, so he came secretly and said something to me through the window, it's okay." ”
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows clearly, "Then should I cover my ears, I can't hear or hear." ”
Tang Ning glared at her helplessly, "Whatever you want, anyway, we can sit upright, and we are not afraid of your jokes." ”
A clear male voice came from outside the door, and Ming Lanying covered her ears with a smile.
"Ah Ning, I asked them to prepare some of your favorite snacks and tea, prepared in the sedan chair and in the treasure cabinet at the head of the bed, there are many things tomorrow, I can't take care of you, you can eat some when you are hungry, I will let them end it early."
Tang Ning played with the jade pendant in his hand and replied with a smile: "I know." ”
"You have an early rest today."
"Okay."
Ming Lanying waited for a while, and there was no sound outside the door, so she put down her pretending hand, but the person didn't seem to have left.
Tang Ning glanced at the pair of jade pendants in his hand, walked to the window, opened a gap, and stuffed one of them out.
"This is a congratulatory gift from my good sister, a couple."
A hand outside the window hurriedly took it, and his voice was a little smiling, "Okay, I'll definitely take it with Ah Ning, I'm leaving." ”
Tang Ning hummed softly, and Ming Lanying watched the lively wow behind her.
"Newlywed Yan'er~"
Tang Ning's cheeks were crimson, bright and moving, and he met Ming Lanying's playful eyes and began to chase people.
"Okay, okay, you have been staying for a long time, the prince should be in a hurry to find you back."
Ming Lanying smiled, she came secretly, naturally she couldn't stay to eat, and left with interest, "See you tomorrow!" ”
The next morning, it was lively outside, and Ming Lanying took the family to clean up and go out to see the excitement.
Ming Lanying looked at the red satin flying in the sky and exclaimed, "Is this the red makeup of ten miles?" ”
Ye Jielu clenched her hand, "It's not that exaggerated. ”
Hebai supported Shan Zhao, tiptoeing to look at the team welcoming relatives, "It's eight miles away, and the two families are quite generous!" ”
Shan Zhaoshun asked, "When the prince and the princess get married, it must be more lively than this scene!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped by Hebai, and lowered his voice to warn him, "My brother was forced, without this ceremony, my brother regrets dying now, aren't you poking him in the heart!" ”
Shan Zhao slowly closed his mouth and blinked innocently.
Ye Jielu cautiously looked at the people around him, "Lady......"
Ming Lanying snorted, understanding what he meant, Ye Jielu had always wanted to make up a big wedding ceremony for her, but Ming Lanying didn't care about this now.
"What's the matter, what to make up, it's expensive and laborious, Ning'er is so old, it makes people laugh."
Ye Jielu pursed his lips lightly and stopped talking, but he had a plan in his heart.
He and the current Ming Lanying have never even drunk a glass of wine, his heart is always unsteady, since the lady doesn't like to do a lot of things, then he will hold a small, low-key cave room flower candle ceremony.
Ning'er didn't bring the wolf cub this time, but she took Taiyi and took Taiyi's hand and squeezed to the front.
"Brother Taiyi, take me to be happy!"
When Taiyi heard this, she hugged Ning'er, and Ning'er immediately stood out in the crowd, happily reaching out to receive the happy money in the air.
The Shen family and the Tang family both have money, and after receiving the relatives, there will be maids and servants who are happy to spread money next to the team, and the people on both sides of the road have stepped forward to be happy.
There were guards on the side to maintain order, but there was no stampede.
The lively reception was also approaching in the evening, and Ming Lanying and his party showed the invitation card and went to the hall to watch the ceremony.
Ming Lanying also saw the groom, Qing Jun Junyi, and Tang Ning stood together.
Ming Lanying suddenly remembered that when she first met Tang Ning, she still regarded her as a rival in love.
shook the hand that Ye Jielu was holding together, "Do you remember who Ah Ning liked before?" ”
Ye Juelu didn't know why, "Who?" ”
"Tsk!" Ming Lanying glanced at him dissatisfied, "You! It's not you who won't marry! ”
Ye Juelu sighed silently, "That's a misunderstanding, it's all over." ”
Ming Lanying accused him evilly, "Wow, you're too good, people still like you, you don't even remember it at all." ”
Ye Jielu lowered his head, leaned into her ear and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll clean you up when I go back." ”
Ming Lanying subconsciously trembled, excited.
