Chapter 80: King Sun Settles Marriage
The invitation sent by the Wang family was a wedding banquet between Wang Xuzhou, the second son of the Wang family, and Sun Xinran, the youngest daughter of the Sun family. The address on the invitation is the woman's Sun family, and it stands to reason that the family banquet is held at the man's house, for this reason, Shen Paner also smiled and said that the Sun family has recruited another son-in-law.
Xu is custom is different, the wedding banquet of the Sun Wang's family is in the evening, the twilight is vast, the sky is studded with a faint afterglow, and the carriage of the old Shen Mansion is humming towards the Sun family.
Sun Mansion is located in Jinyang Long Street, the house is full of lights, flowers, golden beams and colorful buildings, sprinkled with a new sweep.
The Wang family is very face-saving, Wang Xuzhou and Shen Ci hit it off at first sight, and personally went out of the mansion to welcome the people of the Beihou Mansion in Ningbei.
The young man is wearing Ye Lingwu today, and he has seen the freshest and brightest red brocade robe, which is pure red, much more eye-catching than Shen Ci's, with flourishing hydrangeas woven on it, and red threads embedded in the cuffs and skirts.
It's very festive!!
The three girls took turns to congratulate Wang Xuzhou, and begged for several red envelopes, so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together. It's not because of the money in the red envelope, it's just that the thick red envelope is pinched in my hand, and I feel happy.
The women's seats, the girls' seats are in the inner courtyard, the adult men's seats are in the outer courtyard hall, and the courtyard is also full of round tables, and from the outside of the house gate, it is - crowded and noisy.
The hall was in an uproar, listening to the Wang family couple and the Sun family couple who were all in the head of the court, many men and women were sitting or standing, and they were sitting and talking lively.
"Old Lady Shen is here!" Sun Jinlan walked slowly and greeted the Shen family very warmly.
In this comparison, the attitude of the Wang family's two-room couple is obviously cold, and they are not indifferent to the surrounding guests, as if who coerced them to hold this wedding banquet.
Mrs. Shen asked the three girls to come forward to congratulate her, and the girls were busy saluting, and after the ceremony, the three girls were taken to the inner hall by the female envoy to you.
The inner hall is also lively, the stars arch the moon, the "moon" is Sun Xinran who sits on the upper seat, and the "stars" are the girls under the seat.
Sun Xinran was born with a round and jade color, and today she is dressed red, she is simply a lucky doll, but it is a pity that this lucky doll is not very good, and she doesn't pay attention to the praise of the "stars" at all.
Even when she saw the girl from the Hou Mansion of Ningbei coming, she couldn't lift her spirits and hurriedly greeted and sat down. The "stars" who originally touted Sun Xinran immediately surrounded Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er again.
The girls talked and laughed, but Sun Xinran on the seat looked sad, and after a while, she left a big room of women and left the table.
Halfway through the banquet, the courtyard was very lively, and everyone followed the sound to find it, it turned out that they were playing with a pitcher, and there were many young men and girls around them.
Shen Paner loves to be lively the most, and she will pass by pulling Ye Lingwu, Shen Yue'er is different, no matter how lively the scene is, she can calm down and not make up for people's heads.
Most of the onlookers were men, tall and tall, Ye Lingwu couldn't see it, squeezed and couldn't squeeze in, and Shen Pan'er, who pulled himself to join in the fun, had long since disappeared.
All around were elated, only Ye Lingwu was depressed, since it was boring, there was only gray and left.
The hall was staggered, and the merchants and eunuchs came to the banquet one after another, and the congratulatory gifts sent could not be piled up in a room.
These guests who came were all famous for the moon, Sun Jinlan and Lu Xu'an, the couple who valued the pomp and circumstance the most, and the small businessmen and petty officials couldn't get into their eyes.
Even the guests present were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and it was not their turn to greet them personally.
As the seats gradually filled, a group of richly dressed men toasted each other, more like Vanity Fair than a wedding feast.
Suddenly, a small servant at the door announced: "Murong Second Son has arrived~"
Lu Xu An, who was dealing with several eunuchs, heard this, and looked at the door, and saw a tall man in a dark purple flowing cloud straight coat walking over.
Yue Yang stepped forward unhurriedly, and arched his hand one by one: "Congratulations to Brother Lu's daughter on her great marriage." ”
"Thank you Murong Second Son," Lu Xu'an smiled and looked behind him, "Murong Second Son is here, why don't you see your brother?" ”
Yue Yang sighed and said, "Brother Lu has also seen my sister-in-law's temper, and my brother can't come if he wants to." ”
Lu Xu'an's expression froze, probably thinking of something, and sneered: "Then don't come, otherwise your sister-in-law will have to overturn my grandson's family." ”
Yue Yang echoed and smiled: "No, my sister-in-law is short-tempered, and thanks to Brother Lu's broad-mindedness, he has never met him." ”
"What I see, it's just that it's hard for you Brother Gu, I was slapped for no reason, and I was scolded by his daughter-in-law when I went back, but I hurt him."
"Yes, yes, my brother should bring his sister-in-law to the door to make amends," Yue Yang swept around, "Why don't you see Lord Zhizhou today, today is Miss Sun's wedding banquet, shouldn't he, who is an uncle, be there?" ”
Lu Xu An smiled and said, "Don't mention him." ”
As he spoke, Lu Xu'an patted Yue Yang's shoulder: "You should also take a seat quickly, I will introduce you to a few cloth village owners, speaking of which, the cloth you sent to my family that day is really rare and cherished." ”
In the face of the familiarity of businessmen with remuneration, Yue Yang's performance was obviously a little unnatural, his performance in front of several businessmen was too blunt, and his ability to act on the spot was slightly inferior to Shen Zhan.
The twilight is thick, it is almost summer at this time, the flowers in the garden are blooming just right, and the maids of the royal family are busy greeting guests in the east courtyard, this place is quiet.
The moon is full and the moon is shining. Ye Lingwu was pacing on the path, but who knew that he heard a rush of footsteps from the side of the mountain and stone barrier, mixed with the sound of a fierce dispute between a pair of young men and women-
"Wang Xuzhou, you stop for me, stop! I'm not done yet! The crisp and arrogant female voice is Sun Xinran's.
"I know it all, you don't have to say it!" Wang Xuzhou's voice was still warm, but it also carried a sense of anger that could not be ignored.
"You know, you know that you should have made it clear to your father and mother as early as possible, your Wang family will soon covet the wealth of my father's family, covet my uncle's official title, and feel that my uncle has promoted your eldest brother, and your father will feel that my uncle can promote him, so he rushed to hire ......"
"Enough!" Wang Xuzhou seems to have endured to the extreme, "Do you think my father and mother really fall in love with your Sun family, although my father is only a county magistrate of Ji Town, but he never wants to be rich and noble, only for the safety of the people, what about you, do you think my mother can look up to you, the only daughter of the Sun family, my Wang family has been hairpins for generations, which point is not your family's high climbing!" ”
- Ye Lingwu, who was hiding behind the rockery, pouted, noncommittal: What he said is vibrating, but since your family looks down on the Sun family so much, why should you hire and delay other girls.
Sure enough, Sun Xinran was not a vegetarian either, and immediately replied: "Phew! What is the generation hairpin, there are more people who commit the month generation hairpin, do you think your Wang family is high? Sun Xinran sneered disdainfully, "When your eldest uncle and your eldest brother were kneeling at my father's feet and begging him to help, why didn't your Wang family see Qinggao?!" ”
Wang Xuzhou's arrogance was obviously weakened, Sun Xinran saw that he was frustrated, and smiled happily: "What is your Wang family, dare to say that it is not Xiao who thinks about the power of my family, what a joke!" ”
"My Wang family is nothing, but Miss Sun don't forget, you and I are already an unmarried couple, and some words are better to swallow in the stomach, otherwise be careful of misfortune coming out of your mouth."
"Am I afraid? My Sun family has the final say in this month, I can say whatever I want, you will also give your parents a reminder in the future, this family matter was brought up by them on their own initiative, not my Sun family, don't show my Sun family's face with a broken face, you are also worthy? ”
"It's unworthy, so my parents should be threatened by your father to force me to marry you?"
Wang Xuzhou forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a dumb voice: "Why do you think my parents are reluctant to hold a family banquet after they are hired, Miss Sun, today's wedding banquet was also forced by your father to my father." Therefore, Miss Sun should not quarrel with me today, nor should she tell me this, but should tell your father. ”
- Ye Lingwu suddenly: It turned out that he was forced by the Lu family, and that night Xueyue Qinyuan was also the one from the Lu family who forced Shen Zhan to drink and have fun, it seems that the Lu family is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is also, it can make the official ask for a businessman, and this can be blown for a lifetime! No wonder Sun Xinran is so arrogant, it is her instead...... Naturally more arrogant.
"You don't talk here, why does my father force you, what is worthy of my father in your Wang family?"
"Miss Sun asked well, my Wang family is not a place that your father can see, and I also asked Miss Sun to go back and talk to your father well, when will you come to my house to discuss the withdrawal of this family business, rest assured, as long as your father is willing to retreat, the shame will be borne by my Wang family."
"Do you think I dare not say it?" Sun Xinran's confidence is insignificant.
"I never said that it was not Miss Sun who wanted to quarrel with me from beginning to end, didn't you also want to divorce me? I'm just telling you the way to quit this family, as for whether Miss Sun dares to speak, it depends on how much Miss Sun looks down on my Wang family and how much she wants to get rid of my Wang family. ”
It seemed that the quarrel over there had ended, and the footsteps coming from this side were getting closer and closer, Ye Lingwu looked around, and hid in the rockery while the night was dark and windy.
