Chapter 498 How Could It Be Delayed [Thank You! Goodbye! I Owe You 45k]

After a while,

Xu Zaijing, who had changed his clothes, stood in front of Sun.

Looking at his youngest son,

Mrs. Sun turned her head and glanced at Mother Zhu who was standing beside her: "Why do I look at Jing'er, and he looks even better than before?"

Listening to my mother’s words,

Xu Zaijing looked down at his clothes with some embarrassment, then looked at Qingcao: 'Is there any? ’

Qingcao, who had a tacit understanding with Xu Zaijing, nodded repeatedly.

Mother Zhu beside Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Madam, Wu Lang is well-born. His eyebrows and eyebrows are like yours. He is tall and fair. Naturally, he looks good no matter what he wears."

With a smile on her lips, Mrs. Sun waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's change into the same clothes we were wearing just now."

Xu Zaijing sighed helplessly: "Yes, mother."

After a while,

Xu Zaijing changed his clothes with the help of Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang.

Wait for Xu Zaijing to come out again.

Mrs. Sun stepped forward, carefully arranged the clothes on her youngest son's chest and shoulders, and said, "The jade belt around your waist should also be loosened!"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "Mom, if it's too loose, it won't show your son's narrow waist and broad shoulders."

Seeing his mother frowning and looking over, Xu Zaijing quickly took a breath and loosened the buckle of the jade belt.

"That's about it. It's a bit cold in the morning, so remember to put on a cloak!"

Xu Zaijing pretended to bow his hands: "Yes, mother."

"Go!"

Mrs. Sun looked at her youngest son's appearance and smiled helplessly.

Mao Shizheng (six o'clock in the morning)

The sun has not risen yet,

The sky was dim, and it was still dark where there were no lights.

South Lecture Hall Lane,

There was a lot of noise inside and outside the Rong family,

The lighted lanterns illuminated the busy figures wearing red silk belts coming and going.

The other courtyards are fine.

The kitchen is especially busy.

From time to time a large stream of white steam gushes out of the kitchen room.

Then a female servant came out carrying a large dustpan of cooking cakes.

In the kitchen yard,

A woman dressed as a palace official said loudly: "It's early, let's eat more. I don't know when the next meal will be!"

"Yes, Mammy!"

The female envoys who were holding soup bowls and taking cooking cakes from dustpans responded in unison.

Looking at the people eating, the nun in the palace nodded and prepared to eat.

When he turned around, he looked at the figure at the door and said in surprise: "Miss Feiyan, why are you here?"

Rong Feiyan took the female envoy and gave her a greeting: "I've met Grandma Gong."

Aunt Gong quickly gave her a little help.

"Mother Gong, I came here mainly to see if there are any meals prepared for the Dou family's maid."

Rong Feiyan said with a smile.

Aunt Gong smiled approvingly and said, "Miss Feiyan is thoughtful! Don't worry, girl, the meals for the Dou family's maid who came to the shop yesterday have been prepared."

With that said, Grandma Gong shouted into the kitchen.

When the maid brought the tray with the food over, Aunt Gong continued to smile and said, "Then ask the girl to send it over?"

Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

With that said, Rong Feiyan took the tray with her own hands and walked towards me with the envoy.

When I came to the door,

A female envoy stepped in, bowed to Rong Feiyan and Grandma Gong, and said, "Mammy, as you ordered, the groomsmen are all here."

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Aunt Gong nodded.

After leaving the kitchen courtyard,

Ningxiang followed Rong Feiyan with a lantern and said, "Girl, why did you insist on giving food to the female envoy of the Dou family this morning? Do you have any explanation?"

Rong Feiyan nodded, smiled and glanced at Xinbu who was holding cooking cakes.

Xibu smiled and said: "Ningxiang, firstly, this behavior is for the sake of my sister-in-law, and secondly, the girl will have a good reputation for being considerate. Right, girl?"

"Um!"

After finishing speaking, Rong Feiyan glanced towards the brightly lit outer courtyard.

Rongxian is the younger brother of the beloved concubine.

Naturally, Xu Zaijing will not be the only best groom when getting married.

The most important groomsman today is Mr. Pei Yuanchen from the Xinguo Gong family.

This lord is not only a close confidant of the emperor, but also a superior in the Forbidden Army. He was also born in the Xinguo Duke's palace and has a noble status, which is just right.

The rest are ordinary people like Liang Han, Wei Faqi, Lu Sanlang and Xu Zaijing.

The relationship between Rongxian and Xu Zaijing improved a few years ago after he was abused during a competition with former Bai Gao and Beiliao teenagers, and Xu Zaijing abused them again.

In the past, Rongxian had always played with a bunch of dudes like Han Chengyun, a Korean public servant, and their relationship was so good that they almost wore a pair of pants.

Rong family gate,

After Xu Zaijing got off the horse, he straightened his clothes.

Seeing Xu Zaijing, the concierge of the Rong family hurriedly came over and cupped his hands: "Wulang, you are here. Please come in!"

"How many groomsmen are here?"

"Back to Wulang, Master Pei is already here!"

Xu Zaijing nodded. He came to the Rong family today and only brought Qingyun with him. The three female envoys stayed at home.

Go into the front hall,

Looking at the sturdy middle-aged man sitting on the chair and drinking tea, Xu Zaijing quickly raised his hands and said, "I have met Uncle Pei Shi."

Pei Yuanchen glanced towards the door. After he recognized Xu Zaijing, he looked at Xu Zaijing's figure, nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Wu Lang, come and sit down!"

Xu Zaijing sat down under Pei Yuanchen as he was told.

Subsequently,

Pei Yuanchen turned his head and looked at Xu Zaijing's bun, and said, "Have you seen Wu Lang take a bath?"

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Yes, Uncle Shi. I sweated a little after exercising in the morning, so I took a shower."

Pei Yuanchen continued to look at Xu Zaijing's naturally straight back and energetic look. The approval in his eyes became even stronger and he said: "Rare!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your compliment."

Soon, the maid served soup and tea.

When the two of them were talking,

Several other people arrived one after another.

First there was Lu Sanlang, who was frivolous in his steps and his eyes were blue, then there was Wei Faqi, who looked a little pale, and finally there was Liang Han who was yawning.

After being greeted by ‘Shibo’ and ‘Master Pei’,

Pei Yuanchen lost the smile he had just talked to Xu Zaijing and said calmly: "Sanlang, brother Han Jiayun is not here?"

Lu Sanlang, who was taking the tea from the envoy, quickly put the tea cup on the table and said, "Uncle Shi, Erlang invited Brother Yun, but Brother Yun didn't come because he caught a cold for some reason the day before yesterday."

Pei Yuanchen nodded.

Liang Han, who was sitting next to Xu Zaijing, was about to speak when the figures of Fu Changhou and Rong Xian appeared at the door of the hall leading to the backyard.

"Brother Pei and all my nephews are really in trouble today." Marquis Fuchang said with a smile.

"Ronghou is welcome." Pei Yuanchen cupped his hands and said.

Xu Zaijing and others quickly stood up and handed over their hands.

Looking at Xu Zaijing's energy, Marquis Fuchang smiled and nodded.

The two elders were talking,

Rongxian, who had obviously trimmed his hair and shaved his beard, walked up to Xu Zaijing and others.

Looking at Xu Zaijing, who was half a head taller than himself, Rong Xian curled his lips in jealousy.

Listening to Marquis Fuchang and Pei Yuanchen discussing when to send makeup gifts,

Rong Xian asked Xu Zaijing, "Brother Jing, you didn't miss your morning exercise today?"

Liang Han and others in the hall looked at Xu Zaijing in surprise.

Xu Zaijing was confused: "Does it need to be delayed?"

Rongxian: "I"

"Master Marquis, Aunt Gong from the palace is here."

Pei Yuanchen and Marquis Fuchang stood up quickly, and Marquis Fuchang said: "Please come quickly."

Subsequently,

Aunt Gong smiled and walked in with the palace lady carrying a tray.

After giving the blessing, Grandma Gong looked at the groomsmen in the hall and nodded: "You are dressed appropriately, but I am too worried."

As she spoke, Aunt Gong waved her hand back, and the female officer who followed came over with a tray in which was a basket of bright flowers.

"This is a flower cultivated in the palace. Before leaving the palace, the empress specially entrusted it to my slave, telling me to choose a suitable hairpin for the groomsmen."

Pei Yuanchen smiled and cupped his hands: "Well, now you have something to do, mama."

Xu Zaijing and others also repeated it.

Although except for Xu Zaijing, the other teenagers were a little tired,

But a man relies on his clothes, his horse relies on his saddle, and he wears good clothes and puts flowers on his hairpin.

It made them, who were already young, look like romantic teenagers.

When the white fish belly appears in the East,

Xu Zaijing and others had already finished breakfast in the main hall and drank refreshing soup and tea for a while.

"cough!"

Pei Yuanchen cleared his throat and said: "Wait a moment, Sanlang and Brother Qi, you two will take the lead and lead the children of the Rong family to the Dou family to deliver makeup gifts."

"Yes, Shibo!"

Pei Yuanchen nodded and continued: "When they come back, Wu Lang and Brother Han, don't wait, go directly."

"Yes, Shibo."

Xu Zaijing bowed.

Back to the snowy courtyard,

Rong Feiyan, dressed in formal attire, stood at the moon gate and looked out.

After a while,

He walked over quickly and slowly.

"how?"

"Going back to the girl, the first trip is for the young masters of the Lu family and the Wei family, and the second trip is for the two young masters of the Xu family and the Liang family."

Rong Feiyan nodded: "Have they put on the hairpins the flowers my sister sent?"

"They are all hairpins, the colors chosen by Grandma Gong herself."

"When the slave came, Aunt Gong also told the slave, please take a look at the layout of the backyard. After Chenshi (9 a.m.), the guests will almost come."

Rong Feiyan looked at the second door leading to the front yard not far away and sighed somewhat sadly.

He carefully looked at his girl's appearance. After looking around, he saw that there was no outsider, so he whispered: "Girl, when the young master and the Dou girl visit the court in the afternoon, we will naturally meet people."

"Well, let's go, let's see if there is anything we need to check and fix."

Tatsuki

Rong Feiyan, who had changed her clothes, stood at the second door, with her smiling mother in front of her.

"Madam, you are here!"

"Congratulations to the eldest lady!" Madam Shoushan Bo Yuan and her daughter smiled and gave her a blessing.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Oh, I haven't seen you for a while. Sister Meng is getting more and more provocative."

"Thank you, Madam."

Lady Fuchang Hou smiled: "No, I am telling the truth! Yan'er, please bring your cute little sister in to play."

"Yes, mother! Sister Meng'er, please come this way."

When the two of them were about to enter the inner courtyard,

A female envoy walked in hurriedly with an anxious face. After looking at Madam Fuchang Hou, the female envoy walked directly towards Rong Feiyan.

Looking at the envoy's expression, Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded to Huang Jinmeng: "Sister, please go in with my envoy.

"Okay, sister, I'll be busy first."

Rong Feiyan nodded again and walked towards the female envoy.

"What's wrong?" Rong Feiyan asked.

The female envoy came over and whispered in her ear: "Girl, when the boy in the outer courtyard was pouring swill, he accidentally fell and overturned the bucket! The two groomsmen happened to be passing by."

"What? Did you dirty the best man's clothes!?" Rong Feiyan asked anxiously.

"No girl! Xu Jiawulang was quick to block the splashing dirty water with his cloak, but a few drops of water still fell on the makeup gifts in the carriage."

In order to look good and conspicuous, the makeup gifts were all loaded on a flat carriage.

Rong Feiyan frowned even more and asked, "How much is dirty?"

"Two shawls."

Hearing this, Rong Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay! Please ask Xu Jiawulang to wait! I'll ask someone to take care of it."

"Yes, girl."

Looking at the maid walking out quickly, Rong Feiyan walked to her mother who was still chatting, whispered a few words, and then walked quickly to a yard.

Finding the prepared red shawl in the house, Rong Feiyan took it and walked out of the house.

"Girl! You."

Rong Feiyan looked at Xibu: "What's wrong?"

Looking at Rong Feiyan's expression, Xibu knew that persuasion might be useless, so Xibu picked up a bundle and said: "Girl, wrap it with this."

Outer courtyard,

The ground was in a mess,

Just now, because he accidentally overturned the swill bucket, the Rong family servant was frightened and knelt on the ground begging for mercy. At this time, his trouser legs, hands, and forehead were full of stains.

But he didn't care about these, and was quickly wiping the stains on the carriage with a piece of cloth.

Liang Han rode on the side and gestured curiously, and the action seemed to be reproducing someone's action.

Xu Zaijing stood beside the little black colt,

"Tsk."

Looking at his own stained cloak on the saddle, he sighed with some heartache, squatted down, and wiped the splashed fur on the hind hooves of the little black colt with a towel.

It's not that the servant of the Rong family didn't help, it's just that the hind legs of the little black colt are so hard that people who are not familiar with it can't get close to it. If they get close, they will probably get hit.

Hearing this sound,

Rong Xian raised his hand fiercely and was about to hit the servant.

"Brother Xian! Don't be so impulsive on such a happy day." Xu Zaijing, who was squatting, said, "It's just a cloak!"

Rong Xian's hand stopped in mid-air, and he pointed at his servant angrily and said, "You are lucky today because Wu Lang sent you there! He is good at fighting and used his cloak to block the slop. Otherwise, everything would be dirty and you would have a hard time living today!"

Looking at the servant who was still wiping the carriage with a pale face, Xu Zaijing shook his head at Rong Xian.

Soon,

the little black colt and the carriage became clean.

The servants of the Rong family began to clean up the dirty water and garbage on the ground, and sprinkled a layer of sawdust after sweeping it.

"Brother."

Hearing this voice, Rong Xian immediately turned his head in surprise and looked at Rong Feiyan who was walking over with a bundle: "Sister, why are you here?"

Rong Feiyan said: "The distinguished guests began to enter the yard, and the maids were busy so I came over."

As she said that, Rong Feiyan looked around and looked at Xu Zaijing's folded cloak.

Afterwards, Rong Feiyan hurriedly handed the bundle in her hand to Rong Xian.

After Xu Zaijing took it from Rong Xian, he untied the red silk ribbon that tied the whole piece of brocade in the carriage, put the shawl on it and tied it again.

While Xu Zaijing was busy with these things,

Rong Feiyan pulled Rong Xian's sleeve, and when her brother looked over, Rong Feiyan glanced at Rong Xian, and then turned her sight to Xu Zaijing's cloak on the horse's back.

After a while, watching Rong Xian take the cloak from the saddle, Xu Zaijing said, "Brother Xian, don't worry about the cloak. I'll take it back and let the maid wash it."

Rong Xian held the cloak in his hand and shook his head with a smile: "That doesn't make sense! Wu Lang, I'm getting married today, will you listen to me?"

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

After saying that, Xu Zaijing got on the horse neatly, nodded to Rong Feiyan behind Rong Xian, and said to Liang Han: "Liu Lang, let's go!"

Exited the Rong family gate,

Walking in the South Lecture Hall Alley with the makeup gift,

The flowers on Xu Zaijing and Liang Han's hair were blown by the wind, and they trembled gently.

From time to time, exquisite carriages passed by on the road, and there were often young men riding horses next to the carriages.

Liang Han nodded to a family he knew, then turned his head to Xu Zaijing and said, "Jing'er, how did you do that just now? You reacted too quickly. You can't get real water in! How did you practice?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "I felt hot just now, so I just took off my cloak."

"Oh!" Liang Han nodded and said, "By the way, did Ye'er go to the Dou family for a seat?"

"Yes! The eldest lady of the Dou family is from the Yang family, a noble family. Isn't Ye'er's aunt the daughter-in-law of the Yang family?"

Liang Han thought about it and looked at Xu Zaijing in confusion, "Jing'er, how can you know more than me?"

"Liu Lang, my eldest sister is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, how could I not know?"

Liang Han patted his forehead, "Yes, yes!"

After walking a few steps, Liang Han and Xu Zaijing bowed again to a carriage with a sign of the Chai family hanging on it.
