Chapter 36: First time I saw my uncle's brother Changbai!
The men in the front hall were talking about me laughing, but the lady Wang in the back was holding her daughter's hand tightly, with a reluctant look on her face.
After all, it was born from the first child, and the emotions were naturally different, and I kept chatting about myself, and I cried as I talked.
"My poor Hua'er, it's all your father's fault, why did you marry you so far away~"
"Mother, don't be too sad, I heard that my father was excellent in this assessment, and it is estimated that he will be promoted to the capital, and then our family can be reunited, and my daughter will go to the front station first!"
At this time, Yangzhou is just starting spring, the weather is still slightly cool, Sheng Hualan, who is already sixteen years old after the New Year, is wearing a smoky willow-colored silver and gold double phoenix brocade short jacket, wearing a light blue light willow soft stripe tunic long skirt, and a cloud-like moon-rising bun on her head.
There is only a gold ribbon with gold silk inlaid with gemstones, and the whole person is delicate and gentle, like a white magnolia bud, but it is really bright and bright.
Mrs. Sheng is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, and as the granddaughter who was raised by her since she was a child, she behaves quite decently, and her unhurried speech is particularly pleasant.
"That's what I said~" Mrs. Wang has a straightforward personality, and her emotions come and go quickly.
said in a hurry: "Hua'er, you haven't gone to the old lady's to say hello, let's go over together~"
"Hmm!"
Seeing that her mother's mood was stable, Hua Lan smiled and nodded, and held hands with each other and came to the old lady's Shou'an Hall.
At this time, the Sheng family was already here, and Sheng Wei and Changwu father and son, who came to see off their relatives in the big house, were no exception, and everyone was in touch with each other.
After all, she was a girl raised single-handedly, and Mrs. Sheng, who was already full of gray hair, was reluctant to let go of her granddaughter's little hand.
Seeing her grandmother like this, Sheng Hualan, who was about to leave the pavilion, rushed over directly in excitement, hugged the old lady tightly and didn't let go.
Choked up and sobbed: "Grandmother, I can't bear you~"
"Alas~" Old Lady Sheng's eyes were a little moist.
Stretched out her hand and rubbed her granddaughter's head, although she had said a lot before, she was from the Marquis's Mansion after all, and she knew that the interpersonal relationship in the wealthy compound was complicated.
couldn't help but say earnestly: "Hua'er, you have to be careful in your in-laws' house in the future, there are many rules in the earl's mansion, but don't ...... it."
That night, the old lady left her granddaughter in her courtyard and secretly told a lot of secrets, in order to make her have more eyes.
And it also made up a lot of good things, all of which were brought out from the Marquis's Mansion before, such as the ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, and ......
In ancient times, the marriage of the son-in-law of a large family was not a simple matter, and there were too many things to do to worship ancestors, send stickers, welcome guests, etc.
Yuan Wenshao was on duty at the yamen every day, and he didn't stop when he got home, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to practice martial arts.
In this way, on the day of the wedding, Yuan Wenshao wore a red wedding robe and said goodbye to his parents in the main courtyard.
"Father, mother, the child is gone!"
"Well, let's go~" Uncle Yuan stroked his beard happily.
Although he usually likes to go to the concubine, he is different from Sheng Hong, as a person who grew up under the education of a noble and wealthy family, he knows very well that there is a difference between concubines and concubines, and he knows that if they are all mixed up, there will definitely be disasters in that family.
Therefore, the three children of the eldest son are usually the most important, and they can be treated equally before, but now they are a little bit important, who makes the eldest three sticks unable to beat a stuffy fart.
And the two sons have also opened up, the father and son often visit Qianchun Building, in a sense, it can be regarded as something together, and the relationship is naturally unusual......
Here Yuan Wenshao came to the outside of the house, turned over and rode his own big black, took the horse whip from Changsui, and rushed towards the Sheng family with the team of relatives at home.
That's right, the Sheng family also has a house in Bianjing City, and it is even a mansion, even better than the geographical location of the Earl's Palace, and the team to send off the relatives has arrived a few days ago, and they have been cleaning up the house in the past few days.
One is to marry a daughter, and the other is because there is news that Sheng Hong is about to be promoted back to Beijing, so let's kill two birds with one stone.
Yuan Wenchao's guests in this wedding are naturally his three good brothers, and Gu Tingye, a wealthy man who has inherited his grandfather's family property some time ago, is also mixed in.
"Zhong Huai, you kid is not authentic, you made such a fuss in Yangzhou, but my old Yuan was shocked, I really thought you were gone~"
"Uh... Brother Zhong Xuan, it was Gu who didn't think it through, and he apologized to his uncle afterwards~"
Yuan Wenshao, who was riding on the horse, pretended to be displeased and joked: "Hmph, then you can do more later, if not, don't blame me for wearing small shoes, and then you will be caught by this prodigal son and live in the yamen for two days!" ”
Zhang Jingchang, the British concubine who is also a guest minister, and Xu Pengju, who is not valued by his father, these two people have been low-key since they were children, and they felt that they couldn't afford to provoke Ning Yuanhou Gu's family, so they didn't speak.
Only Zhao Wenyuan, the only son of Yongpingbo, was pampered by his parents at home, and he didn't know if he was a character crunch since he was a child, and he and Gu Tingye often fought, anyway, there was no time not to choke when they met.
I saw him sneer directly: "Second brother, you really have to arrest Gu Er, just now we threw the pot together, and he lost and didn't give money!" ”
Gu Tingye was young and vigorous, and he was a little anxious when he heard this: "Hey, that's your tricks, okay, how can this pitcher be useful..."
Seeing that these two people were blushing and their necks were thick, Yuan Wenshao hurriedly played a round in the middle.
"Okay, can you say a few words, today is a buddy's wedding, you two still want to fight?"
"Yes, yes, today is the day of Zhongxuan's big day, our brothers, don't hurt the harmony~" Zhang Jingchang also echoed.
Since marrying a wife a few months ago, and then entering the office again, he has become a lot more sophisticated in dealing with people now, at least he is not like before, because he avoids Gu Tingye because of his reputation.
And after hearing this, Gu Zhang and the others are not tense, don't look at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old is a middle school student in modern times, but in the precocious ancient times, he was already a man who could set up a door.
So naturally, I also understand that if you fight on someone's wedding day, this friend will not be able to deal with it in the future, and he may even have a grudge.
The Sheng family came from afar to send off relatives, and there were not many relatives in the capital, so it was a formality, so the Yuan family's team to welcome relatives did not suffer much trouble.
It's just that according to the current custom, I read a hypnotic poem that was made in advance, and then the bride Hualan was recited by her younger brother Changbai.
Yuan Wenshao, who was dressed in a happy robe, stayed for a moment after seeing Sheng Changbai, because this brother-in-law who will lead the Sheng family to glory in the future is not only a veteran of the Three Dynasties, but also a worthy of the honor of enjoying the Taimiao.
What to say in terms of appearance, now the little boy is handsome and tall, but he looks a little old-fashioned, and according to rumors, he looks quite like the late Mrs. Wang.
As for the bride Sheng Hualan, she was wearing the most noble green wedding dress of the dynasty, but she was holding a fan in her hand, so she didn't see her face clearly.
The dowry procession, which stretches for more than ten miles, can be described as very spectacular, blowing all the way back to the Earl's Palace.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
In the festively decorated main hall of the mansion, Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Hualan saluted Uncle Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, who were sitting on the upper hand, according to the process.
