Chapter 103: Mrs. Tai attends the wedding banquet
"Wei Magpie has a nest, and Wei Gu lives in it. The son of Yu returned, and a hundred taels of royalty. Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Gu is square. The son of the son will return, and a hundred taels will be there. Wei Magpie has a nest, and Wei Gu is Yingzhi. The son of the return, one hundred and two percent. On the bustling street, a team dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a fan, beating suona and playing gongs and drums, carrying a big red sedan chair, and a handsome groom riding on a tall horse to welcome the bride's team sang the praises of this song, they all had a happy face, sprinkled gold leaf and copper coins in their hands, the line was long, there were more than 100 slaves who accompanied the marriage and welcomed the relatives, and the bride's dowry was even more unknown, which attracted the attention of the people on the street......
This long procession of weddings, after seven or eight avenues of loyalty, and through four or five streets and alleys, finally stopped in front of a vermilion gate and two bright yellow bright bronze lion heads with big red head flowers shining like gold.
In front of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion, crowded with people at the moment, their joy does not seem to be fake, a group of them watched the groom dressed in red Qi Lin carried the bride Yu Jianu Jiao'e in a green sedan chair, and then, the crowd rushed up to applaud, and then, urging the groom to carry the bride on his back, stepping on the red carpet, smelling the sound of firecrackers that would not stop, and entered the Shouguang Prince's Mansion.
Qi Lin personally carried his bride across the brazier, steps, step by step and steadily walked to the main hall, only to carefully put the bride down, take the bride's hand, and walk forward, if you don't know the inside story, you are all envious of the newlyweds' love.
The main hall of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion, at this moment, the lanterns are colorful, the red cloth ribbons, and even the original main hall in the pear marble case, have been covered with a layer of red cloth in accordance with the situation, and there are all kinds of rare melons and fruits on the case: red dates, longan, peanuts and other auspicious wishes, many sons and many blessings, and several red red double happiness words.
All kinds of precious flowers and porcelain, as well as all kinds of treasures, were all moved out by the prince and princess of Shouguang at this moment and used to fill the scene.
On the other side, there is a large Ru kiln flower sac, a bag full of crystal balls of immortal flowers, on the left is an expensive big red Ru kiln vase, and on the right there is a jade Ruyi given by the emperor...... The people who watched it were extremely envious and admired the financial resources of his Shouguang Prince's Mansion.
"Son Qi Lin, daughter-in-law Yu, please say hello to my father and mother, and invite my father and mother to drink tea."
Qi Lin and his bride worshiped heaven and earth, and under the attention of everyone, they offered tea to the prince of Shouguang and the princess of Shouguang.
Shouguang Shizi and his wife Yu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, took over the tea of Qi Lin and his wife with a red face, and after the two drank the tea, they kept shouting that the two young people got up, and their love was revealed on their faces.
At this moment, I don't know who suddenly said aloud:
"My cousin cherishes the bride so much, it's really a bride's good temper! I don't know how much I have to give the bride when I turn around! ”
"If they are good, I will give them anything!" Yu Shi was overjoyed at the moment, and he didn't care about this person's gag in this case, but responded with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, praising the good fortune of the new couple and the generosity of the two princesses and princesses of Shouguang~
In the middle of the main hall on this side, the crowd was lively, and they were sitting at a table not far away, the lord of Nankang County took Qi Lan, Gu Ruosu took Hai Shi and Xie Yihua and other little girls, but they just had a decent smile on their faces, and they all looked at this scene without saying a word......
"Hmph, your mother is really ...... is very thick-skinned, as if others don't know the inside affairs of this marriage, but they are really embarrassed to make such a big battle......" The lord of Nankang County couldn't help it, but he was afraid of the face of the Shouguang Prince's Mansion, so he said in a low voice, the voice was not big or small, and the people at this table heard it......
Qi Lan pulled the sleeve of the Nankang County Lord, shook his head and said:
"Auntie, forget it, it's already a boat...... It's okay...... Maybe it's just a missed ......"
"Humph! You kid, everything is good, it's just too honest, it's just that, I don't say it......
You have to work hard, get a good name, let them all look at you, what achievements you have, but don't forget to be filial to your father-in-law. The lord of Nankang was thinking about Qi Lan, and seeing Gu Ruosu present, he hurriedly said this.
"There is no need for the county lord to say, our family Qi Lan is a good boy and very filial, and his father-in-law and I both understand it in our hearts." Gu Ruosu, who has always ignored these flatteries, took the initiative to follow the words of the Nankang County Lord at this moment.
The lord of Nankang County was overjoyed and overjoyed, and hurriedly urged Qi Lan to cook for Gu Ruosu, and complimented:
"Grandpa Guo has a lot of opportunities, it is a good help from His Majesty, and he is dedicated to the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, and now, he has taken over the Nanban Mission, which is really hard, and we are all in the eyes~"
“……”
“……”
Although the lord of Nankang is of noble birth and is usually very rebellious, if she wants to say something nice, she is not inferior to everyone.
"Everyone is hard, everyone is hard, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all working hard for the prosperity of our Dayong~" Gu Ruosu said with a red face.
Seeing that the lord of Nankang still wanted to continue to praise him, Qi Lan, who saw that Gu Ruosu was embarrassed, hurriedly prepared dishes for the lord of Nankang, who was very eye-catching, and the Hai family, who wanted to please him, immediately changed the topic, and for a while, the topic was changed, and Gu Ruosu also had a rare chance to breathe......
Gu Ruosu suddenly looked at the girls beside him, and saw that several little girls were sitting obediently eating the food in their bowls, and occasionally looked around at the exquisite decorations around them, or chatted for a word or two, which was very good......
It's just that Xie Yihua, who was sitting on Gu Ruosu's left hand side and had always been gentle and smiling, was always keeping his head down, and there were only a few small dishes in the bowl, looking very absent-minded......
Gu Ruosu frowned slightly, approached Xie Yihua, and was about to say something, but saw that Qi Lin, who was obviously drunk, was smiling and walking over with a pot of wine.
Qi Lin came to Gu Ruosu's table with a smile, and then smiled and gave a nondescript salute to everyone present, and then put his arm on Qi Lan's shoulder with a smile, looked at it with a smile and said:
"Second brother, you love to wear plain clothes on weekdays, what's the matter, today's big day for my brother, I still have to wear this green and not green clothes, didn't my mother send you new clothes."
"Don't blame my brother, I am also very happy on your big day, and I wanted to wear the clothes given by my mother.
But helplessly, the clothes are too wide, if you really wear them out, you will still be embarrassed by your brother and your parents and brothers, so I chose a blue and blue clothes, which are also newly made, and it is appropriate to come. Qi Lan smiled and took Qi Lin's hand off his shoulder, and then explained.
"Oh, yes, the second brother is really considerate, it's just that the second brother is really happy that my brother and I get married, I always thought that my second brother would be unhappy...... In the end, it's still my younger brother, I can't live with you, second brother~" Qi Lin didn't care about Qi Lan taking his hand away at the moment, but apologized to "Qi Lan" with a smile.
Seeing that Qi Lan didn't have any reaction, Qi Lin was suddenly a little dissatisfied and said:
"I didn't expect you to be so good-tempered, second brother, I just don't know, is it really good-tempered, or ~ to my cousin...... No, it's your brother and sister now, no ......."
Qi Lin's words suddenly aroused the curiosity of everyone around, Qi Lan immediately interrupted Qi Lin's words, forbidding Qi Lin to say the rest of the words, Qi Lan said with a slight gloom:
"Didn't my brother do a happy event today, he was overjoyed, he drank too much wine, but he said a bunch of confused things, my brother still said cautiously, go back and drink some sobering soup......"
"Cut...... Second brother, what do you look like...... It's really a good lover, but ...... Pity...... Brother, I actually got married before you, and I ask my second brother to forgive me......
After all...... My cousin is just the right age, and she is in love with me, so I really want to tie the knot as soon as possible...... Want...... Second brother, you're not one to worry about us, are you...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee
Qi Lan may have been poked in the sore spot for a while, but he didn't speak, Nankang County angrily dropped the chopsticks, stood up, crossed his waist, and was about to directly open his mouth to teach this stinky boy who did not pick up the sky and the earth, but the princess Yu Shi, who was Qi Lan's biological mother, came to them at some point.
Yu smiled and blocked in front of the lord of Nankang and said with a smile:
"Yo, my sister is really angry, it's just a joke between the two brothers, I can't take it seriously, why is my sister angry~" Immediately, Yu Shi turned his head again, pretending to be blamed and patted Qi Lin's back and said
"You too, what are you doing with so much wine, don't look at what day it is, be careful that your daughter-in-law annoys you, and you have always known that your second brother can't afford to joke, what are you playing with him, why don't you pour a glass of wine quickly and make amends to your second brother~"
Qi Lin looked at his mother frantically, poured a glass of wine, and said:
"Second brother, I'm really sorry, brother, I didn't expect it, second brother, you are a reading idiot, this joke, brother, I can't play with you......"
As he spoke, he drank the wine to himself, raised the empty wine glass, and motioned for Qi Lan to drink the wine in front of him as well......
Qi Lan picked up the wine glass, for a long time, but he refused to eat, seeing that everyone was in a hurry, and someone even urged, Qi Lan, this is the wine to drink......
It was obviously a glass of wine, but at this moment, it was filled with bitterness in Qi Lan's mouth......
Xie Yihua raised his head at this moment, his eyes were staring at Qi Lan almost all the time, and the pity in his eyes was almost beyond words, fortunately, the whole table knew a lot about the inside story of this matter, so they ...... Her expression was not abrupt......
But the hidden feelings in Xie Yihua's eyes did not escape Gu Ruosu's eyes at this moment, but Gu Ruosu was only slightly surprised in his heart, but he did not have any objections to this.
On the contrary, when Qi Lin was about to kick his nose and face again to let Qi Lan drink a few more glasses of wine, Gu Ruosu frowned, and then said:
"Erlang, today is your brother's big day, and it is understandable for you to drink a few more drinks as an elder brother.
It's just that...... Although this wine is good, don't be greedy, your father-in-law can tell me, let you go back with me after the wedding banquet today, your father-in-law, but there is something big to tell you......"
Everyone was immediately attracted by Gu Ruosu's words, who doesn't know, Yan Guogong's current status in the court, if this can win the favor of Yan Guogong, then the career can be described as unimpeded......
Previously, they knew that Qi Lan recognized Yan Guogong and Mrs. Yan Guo as their father-in-law, but they thought that this was just a blessing from Xie Hao'an's guy, and they had nothing to do with Yan Guogong, but they didn't expect it...... Now this is the case...... Seem...... It's not as bad as Qi Lin said......
Immediately, the eyes of the noble children who were originally surrounding Qi Lin immediately changed when they looked at Qi Lan.
"Your father-in-law is very optimistic about you, let you study hard, and you have to work hard for this year's imperial examination.
It is said that drinking alcohol hurts the body, and your scientific research is imminent, so it is better to drink less of this wine, and give more good gifts when you go back......
Come to think of it, your family can also understand, after all, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, right, princess. Gu Ruosu naturally didn't miss the change in the expressions of these people, and then said while the iron was hot.
"Naturally, what the Duchess said is, Lan'er, you better drink less of this wine." Although there are thousands of unhappy people in Yu's heart at the moment, in front of people, he still shows a loving mother......
"Yes, yes, Qi Erlang, this wine, you better drink less, I'm afraid, turn around, if Grandpa Guo is unhappy, we will be difficult to do, right." At this moment, another noble disciple who was very good at looking at the eyes took the wine glass in Qi Lan's hand without saying anything, and said.
"Everything is up to my mother-in-law, I won't drink this wine today, and when I turn around, I'll send more good things to my brother, brother, I'm really sorry." Qi Lan didn't show excessive joy because of the preference of Gu Ruosu and the others, he just smiled slightly at the corner of his lips and said lightly.
"You...... Okay, the second brother's words are serious, everything must be the focus of the imperial examination, it is ......" Qi Lin was very unhappy and wanted to refute it out loud, but he was secretly pinched by Concubine Yu, so he had to go against his original intention and said with a smile......
The two brothers are like two drama spirits at the moment, you come and go to perform a good show of brothers, friends and brothers, but, after all, it is acted, it is not really harmonious, soon, the two brothers of the Qi family, one went to the next table under the pretext of toasting, and the other went out to breathe under the excuse of wine.
It's just that, with Gu Ruosu's approval, Yihua, the little girl, also found an excuse and went out after the two brothers of the Qi family left for a while.
