Ding Qi felt very happy in his heart, after Jiang Yao's death, Jiang Tong praised him very rarely, he could count it with one hand, and the roll call in public must have been almost unprecedented.

"Ahem, ahem. Shaodian cleared his throat, "Today, the Marquis of the Protector has grown up, and he has added a daughter-in-law, which is both a civil and political matter in Zhongwangzhou, no matter what it is, it is a good thing to be happy and happy." On behalf of Zhongwangzhou, the king respects the prince of the country. He thought clearly that he couldn't answer Jiang Tong's words, so he picked up Ding Qi and changed the topic by the way.

Jiang Tong did not marry because Ding Kui married a concubine instead of a wife, and an old duke habitually considered the issue of status first, which was also in line with the experience of managing the family. Ding Kui's status in the family is very important, and the identity of his wife or concubine must be clarified, otherwise there will be chaos in the management of the family.

The thank-you banquet didn't last long, and all the guests knew what was coming up and left the table to change their outfits and prepare new gifts.

Coming-of-age ceremonies and wedding receptions are two completely different social events, and the guests who participate are traditionally dressed in different attire, and the birthday and wedding gifts cannot be the same.

Jiang Shunchuan, who served as a housekeeper for a short time, quickly returned the housekeeper power to Ding Kun, because Ding's marriage was not Ding Kui's business alone, and it was in the name of the Ding family that came forward to entertain guests, and Ding Kun had to do everything as a whole.

In the afternoon, the fireworks lit from far away attracted people's attention, and the location should be the junction of Xiaxi Town and Laowu Town.

Ding Kui, who had just changed into a groom's dress, jumped on his roof and looked at the somewhat rough fireworks in the distance. The fireworks set off during the day were something he hadn't seen in Xiaxi Town for more than ten years.

The eye-catching Ding Cai didn't use the orders of his "master", and quickly ran out to inquire about the news.

It turned out that this was a fireworks prepared by the people of Xiaxi Town to welcome Ding Kui's daughter-in-law. Ding Kui grew up in Xiaxi Town, and the people here regard him as a member of Xiaxi Town, and regard him as the pride of heaven representing Xiaxi Town.

The most dazzling son in Xiaxi Town is about to get married, and he is still married to the daughter of a noble family who has not appeared for many years, Lord Duke, that is the number one person in the country.

The people of Xiaxi Town are extremely proud, although they are not qualified to participate in this grand event, no one can stop them from expressing their joy. In the minds of the common people, fireworks are the highest level of celebration, and they will use this way to welcome their new daughter-in-law who marries into Xiaxi Town.

Ding Cai ran out and only used a stick of incense to figure out the situation, and Ding Kui, who learned the truth, was very moved. These simple villagers and townspeople were the ones who watched him grow up, and they shared their joy with him in the most enthusiastic way, no different from their own family.

The continuous fireworks were burning all the way to Xiaxi Town, indicating that the bride Long Yan was getting closer and closer to the terminal station, the cave house, and she suddenly became nervous.

"Well, I'm going to do that shameful thing with him tonight, I don't know if he will have other women in his heart. Long Yan was thinking with a flushed face, fortunately she had a big red cloth on her head, and the people around her couldn't see the change in her face, "No, his family is an old nobleman in the kingdom, so he won't treat me like this with an official status, not to mention that he even gave me the precious 'Ice Jade', which proves that he attaches great importance to me in his heart." ”

Long Yan's personal maid Yugui didn't know how entangled her young lady was, she looked at the fireworks outside the window excitedly, and asked: "Do the people in Xiaxi Town have the habit of setting off fireworks when they get married? At this time, she also changed her name to Master Ding Kui.

"This sister doesn't know that people in Xiaxi Town rarely set off fireworks, and it's the first time I've seen it in the almost ten years since I came here. It should be that the lord is deeply loved by the people here, and they use this way to express their respect for Mrs. Ru. Ding Xiao, who was the oldest in qualifications, explained to Yugui.

"Oh, little, ah, ma'am, these fireworks are specially prepared to welcome you. Yugui almost habitually called out "Miss", and was indeed a little excited when he heard Ding Xiao's words.

"Ahh As far as I know, Xiaxi Town is not wealthy, and there is no spare money after the war tax, and I am stained with the light of Xianggong, and they are willing to spend this expenditure entirely for the sake of Xianggong's face. ”

Biya whispered on the side: "These are the simplest fireworks, I don't think they will cost a lot of money." ”

"When I first came here, I had similar thoughts to you, especially Biya, you are a person from the palace, and you don't know enough about the people at the bottom. As Mrs. said just now, they don't have much money to spare, and even the simplest fireworks cost a person a year's rations.

If it weren't for the young master's generosity, he would invite everyone to do things with the highest standard of wages in the county, and prepare for this fireworks festival to make the people frugate for several years. They have done the best they can. Ding Xiao looked gratefully at the villagers outside who were setting off fireworks.

Long Yan hadn't passed the door yet, so it was not convenient to teach Biya a lesson, so Ding Xiao took the initiative to take responsibility to educate Biya, who didn't understand the people's suffering.

"Oh, it's the slave who thinks wrong. Biya lowered her head. The biggest wish of their group of palace shows is to marry Ding Kui as a concubine, and now that Long Yan has passed the door, their hopes are half less, and their hearts are quite complicated.

Qianyou flew high above the greeting team, taking on several tasks.

The first is to ensure the safety of the bride, in case there are fireworks on the float, there will be trouble; secondly, let the local people see the magician, see the magic that can fly into the sky, which is regarded as giving back to the enthusiasm of the villagers; and finally let the guests see how luxurious the Ding family's welcoming procession is, so that the Long family can feel Ding Kui's attention to Long Yan.

After returning from Wangshan City, Ding Kui immediately summoned Jiang Shunchuan from Pingzhong County to arrange for the quiet girl of Wenxiang Pavilion to be brought back to Xiaxi Town. This time, Jiang Shunchuan really brought Youyou back when he went home, and Qianyou was naturally full of joy, completely ignoring whether it would affect the face of the teacher, and did things for Ding Kui wholeheartedly.

Long Tan, who was following the welcoming team all the way, sighed constantly, "Hey, my sister is really married to the right person." Hey, there are a few brides who are escorted by magicians in the air when they get married. Hey, how shabby it will be when I marry my daughter-in-law. ”

When Ding Zhong drove into Xiaxi Town, the fireworks flying into the air became more dense, and the streets were crowded with people watching the excitement. There are all kinds of people here, including local residents, nearby villagers, noble servants, coachmen, and guards, as well as noble families watching the lively young lady, who not only look but also prepare flowers to welcome today's bride.

The carpenter with his nearly ten-year-old son and his broken daughter-in-law also crowded into the crowd, "Tut-tut, how much did this float cost to modify? How many layers of shrapnel are placed under the axle? A full bowl of water will not spill out in the carriage, will the little lady of the little marquis fall asleep in the car?"

"Do you dare to think about the little lady's affairs? The masters of the Hou family are much more powerful than you, and I have been to the Hou Ye Mansion so many times, and I haven't learned a little bit of my fart skills, don't make our baby stupid. The carpenter's daughter-in-law dragged her son into her arms.

"You are embarrassed to say that I, I have been helping in the kitchen of the Hou Ye's Mansion for a long time, and the dishes I cook now are still unpalatable. The carpenter couldn't help but fight back.

"That's to blame, I don't have much ability to make money. Do you know how many spices there are in people's kitchens? What are the ingredients that you usually eat? A delicious meal can eat your monthly salary, can you afford to eat?" the carpenter's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes, and the meal fell back.

"Can you, even your mouth will say, do you earn as much money as Aunt Wang next door? Don't talk about it, start sending happy money. The carpenter's eyes were sharp, and he saw that two people in the greeting team turned out the money bags, and the posture was ready to come out and throw the happy money.

That's right, Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu are ready to throw away the happy money.

Their brother and sister are older than Ding Kui, but they are a generation younger, so they are not suitable for staying in the old mansion to watch Ding Kui's coming-of-age ceremony, so they followed Ao Yu to Black Earth City early in the morning. At this time, the crowd on the side of the road threw flowers to the float, and it was time for the Jiang brothers and sisters to come out to distribute the money, which was a matter that had already been allocated.

Under an inconspicuous eaves, Ouyang Chong and Cai Gang stood against the wall.

"The staff magician is with the team, is there such a big difference between the earl and the marquis?" Ouyang Chong sighed.

"Senior brother, if you still look at Senior Brother Ding according to your previous thoughts, then you are very wrong. Cai Gang rarely spoke boldly in front of Ouyang Chong, "Don't you see that even Senior Brother is messing with Senior Brother Ding? Who are the people around Senior Brother Ding? The gap between us and him has nothing to do with the level of the title." ”

Ouyang Chong glanced at Cai Gang with a little surprise and asked, "Then what do you say has something to do with it?"

"Well, I can't talk about it, in short, Senior Brother Ding is very different from us, especially his attitude towards people with low status. He doesn't seem to care about other people's origins at all, and values a person's ability more importantly. "Cai Gang can see that these are already very good.

"No matter how capable a person is, he will eventually become a subordinate of a noble-born person, and Senior Brother Ding is just buying people's hearts. Of course, we don't know how to pretend as well as him, so that's a gap. Because of family relations, Ouyang Chong's prejudice against Ding Kui is still very deep.

"Maybe you're right. Cai Gang didn't continue to debate with Ouyang Chong, but decided in his heart that he wanted to keep his distance from Ouyang Chong and no longer follow him like he did when he was a child.

The radiant Ding Kui stood in front of the gate of the old mansion, there were too many pairs of eyes looking at him, and he couldn't show even the slightest strange look. This is a political arranged marriage, he must do enough to work on the scene, which will bring benefits to the three families of Ding, Jiang, and Long, and cannot be affected by his personal preferences.

The float in which the bride was riding slowly stopped in front of Ding Kui, Ding Xiao came to the carriage and stood by the steps of the carriage, while Biya stood in front of the carriage door to guide Long Yan who was about to come out.
