Chapter 250 A Moment of Romance (Update!!!)
Mid-May was the day the Chen family arrived in Beijing. On this trip back, Chen Heng had tried his best to shorten the time and itinerary, and pushed forward all the invitations he could. It was such a rush, it took a month for the round trip.
Anticipating the time when her master would come back, Qingwen looked around and over in the main hall of her home. Before the young master left the house, he deliberately left fifty taels of silver so that she could add some furnishings and utensils to the house. The little maid who was looking after the house alone couldn't help but feel happy and worried when she thought that the young master's elders were here today.
Qingwen, you have no way out, but you must not offend the eldest man and the old lady in the house. The little girl warned herself in her heart. Before the feeling of having no place in the world could arise, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
The young master must be back. Qingwen stood up hurriedly, holding the handkerchief and rushed to the door. We've just passed the atrium, but haven't even reached the screen wall yet. I saw a group of strong men coming in carrying large baskets and small bags.
The leaders were Xinda and Xianglian. When they saw Qingwen coming, they hurriedly said: "Qingwen, quickly lead these people to our warehouse and let them arrange them properly. Be careful, they are all going to be sent to the Lin family. Something important.”
That is the young master's betrothal gift. Qingwen nodded and saw that everything was covered with red cloth, and the names of the things were written in black and white on the sides of the baskets to avoid trouble for others looking for them. She only took a few quick glances and knew how to dispose of these things.
The three people were busy non-stop, but Chen Gaishan and Old Zhou, who had just entered Chen's house, had their eyes widened. On the way here, they heard from their eldest grandson that His Majesty gave them a house. But they didn't expect that the house would be so big and luxurious.
Chen Huaijin was also secretly surprised, but he had seen a lot of the world. He only took his second aunt Li, and put Chen's house and the Yangzhou salt merchant's mansion together to compare the pros and cons.
Chen Qingyue was the most courageous. As soon as he entered the house, he took Chen Yin around to play and watch each other. Along the way, I felt that everything was very strange. Chen Heng saw the nervousness and embarrassment of the two brothers-in-law, so he took Yuanyuan from the hands of the eldest brother-in-law and said to them: "Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, we can go to the pavilion to drink tea in the evening. The night view there, Really good.”
Hu Xiangheng and Ye Guangchao looked at each other and nodded hurriedly. It seems that they still have to digest the impact of this house on them. Chen Heng held Yuan Yuan in one hand and took old Zhou to the main hall of his home.
Qingwen seemed to have learned the art of clones. She came back in a thrilling manner and was busy serving tea and water to her master. Seeing that she was sweating on her forehead, Chen Heng also advised: "Just leave the rest to Xinda. You can wait here for now."
"Hey, Master." Qingwen responded crisply.
Old Zhou's eyes have never looked away since Qingwen appeared. When Qingwen turned around to pour the tea, she took her eldest grandson and whispered: "Heng'er, such a beautiful girl, whose young lady is in trouble?"
Chen Heng couldn't explain, so he had to look at his mother. Gu had stayed in the capital for a while before and knew Qingwen's origins. She mentioned the matter to the Lin family and said that Daiyu was worried that Chen Heng would have no one to take care of him at home, so she specially hired a slave from outside to take care of him.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she felt that Daiyu was really thoughtful and considerate of her grandson. But when I think about such a good family, even the maid is so beautiful. I began to worry deeply about whether the betrothal gift prepared by me was up to standard.
It's all the old man's fault. By making a sudden outburst, he shut out the thoughts of many people.
Chen Gaishan didn't know that he was being criticized for no reason, and he was stiffly stiffening his hands in his position. The old man has never lived in such a nice house in his life. Even though he knew it was his own home, he was a little constrained in his actions.
Chen Heng knew that his family still needed some time to adapt, so he got up and went to the warehouse to confirm the status of the betrothal gift with Xinda. To be honest, the Chen family has prepared a total of eighty-eight tons of betrothal gifts this time, which is already very generous.
There are gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry, as well as silk and satin, not to mention paintings and calligraphy. One pair of dresses for the bride and groom are very finely made and beautiful. This is a female worker on Qiupu Street. When she learned that Chen Lang was going to marry the beloved daughter of the former prefect, she hurriedly made it and went to Beijing with the Chen family.
This amount, given the current financial situation of the Chen family, can be said to be the entire family's wealth. But look at the slaves and maids here, they look a bit heavenly and beautiful. It's no wonder that Mr. Zhou began to worry about gains and losses.
Chen Heng didn't care about this. He felt that it was good enough for his family to do this job. There is no need to compare with outsiders, and there is no need to be in line with the rich and powerful. Live your life for yourself. If you really want to sell everything at home so that you can marry a wife, you will turn a good thing into a bad thing. This was not the teacher's or Yu'er's original intention, but it also caused trouble to his own disciples.
That night, the family members each found a place to rest under Qingwen's arrangements. Starting tomorrow, they will start busying with Chen Heng's Six Rites.
…………
…………
Early the next morning, the Chen family had just woken up and were discussing who would be suitable to send the geese off to the Lin family. Suddenly, an eunuch from the palace came outside, saying that Prince Li Xian was visiting.
Chen Heng happened to be at home and hurriedly led his family to the door, waiting for Li Xian's arrival. After a while, the prince's guard of honor arrived first. Soon, the car stopped at the door of Chen's house.
Li Xian took Li Jun out of the car and said to the Chen family who were saluting: "Chen Qing doesn't need to be polite. I'm here today, but I want to ask for a wedding drink with Chen Qing."
Chen Heng was shocked when he heard this and first invited the prince to sit in the mansion. He also took some elders and younger brothers to accompany him, and asked the prince suspiciously what he meant by that sentence.
Li Xian laughed loudly, raised his hand to signal the Chen family to just sit down, and said simply: "Father heard about Chen Qing's marriage, and there was still one less person to officiate. It happened that Gu Gu had some free time recently, so he took over the matter from his father. Chen Qing You won’t mind.”
This is a great thing. Whoever gets a wife can ask the prince to be the officiant. Chen Heng was overjoyed and stood up from his seat. He saluted the smiling Li Xian and said, "Your Highness can take charge of my small matters. It is truly a blessing for me and Zhuojing."
Hearing that Chen Heng had called Daiyu Zhuojing, Li Jun, who was waiting beside Li Xian, couldn't help but smile and roll his eyes. You are such a champion, I never thought you would be so anxious.
Li Xian smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to the servants of the Prince's Mansion to pick up their belongings. Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion brought a copy of His Majesty's imperial edict, which was what Li Zhi had promised Chen Heng. In addition, there is also a plaque that the Ministry of Rites has rushed to make, and it will also be hung in Chen's house to enhance its momentum.
The plaque from the Ministry of Rites most complies with the official rules and reads "Three Yuan Ji Di". If it is an ordinary number one scholar, it will be the words "number one scholar and third". Another pair of wedding clothes was given. In addition to the clothes used by Chen Heng, another set of clothes, Xia Pi, was prepared for Daiyu.
These things are only Li Zhi's thoughts, and what follows is Li Xian's congratulatory gift. He chose thirty loads of congratulatory gifts from the Prince's Mansion to show his gratitude. Among them, judging from the gift list, most of them are rare and valuable. With them here, if you look at all the families in the capital, you can't say that the Chen family is not good at all.
Seeing the loads of congratulatory gifts brought into the palace with his own eyes, even Chen Heng himself was moved. He thanked Li Xian directly: "I haven't made any achievements yet, but I have to meet your majesty and the prince's favor and care. It's really..."
"Hey." Li Xian waved his hands with a smile and said comfortingly, "Chen Qing, there is no need to be humble. My father and I are still thinking about your ability to make money." After a pause, Li Xian said again, "Since I want to marry you, Chen It would be nice for you to take me around your house to get acquainted with the place."
Chen Heng burst into tears with gratitude and immediately responded: "Your Highness, please."
Li Jun followed the two of them and looked at Chen Heng's excitement. I thought to myself: Okay, Li's emperor has learned another trick in his mind. With Grandpa and Dad acting like this, Chen Heng will not be able to suffer for their Li family in the future.
He was so excited that he turned his attention to Chen Qingyue and Chen Yin who were accompanying him. The three of them were about the same age. Seeing that Qingyue looked smart, Li Jun asked quietly: "Are you Mr. Chen's younger brother?"
"Back to Your Highness, Cao Min is my elder brother's second brother." Chen Qingyue pulled over the young Chen Yin and introduced him, "This guy is our third brother. Third brother, come and greet Your Highness." Chen Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes and said in disgust. Not as bold as his second brother.
What Chen Qingyue said was really funny. Li Jun heard it interestingly and couldn't help chatting with Qingyue more. The latter hangs out at the second uncle's tea stall all year round. He has a sharp tongue that was born from his mother's womb. After training, he even has a lot of witty words. Li Jun shouted that it was interesting and kept saying it.
"You are much more interesting than your elder brother. He always has a straight face and is too literary. When people talk to him, he always worries whether what he says is rude."
Chen Qingyue nodded in agreement and said with sadness: "Your Highness, I see the same thing with eldest brother."
"Oh? Why is this?" Li Jun was deeply surprised and asked curiously, "But your eldest brother often bullied you when he was a child?"
"That's not true." Chen Qingyue hurriedly shook his head and recalled the past with a dark face, "But he liked to punish me to copy books and write articles."
Li Jun, who was still studying in the palace, immediately shook his body, raised his hand to his forehead and said: "Stop talking, stop talking. I have a headache after listening to it."
Chen Heng didn't know the conversation between the three people, so he still introduced Li Xian to various places in his home. The two chatted for a while, and Li Xian ordered Zhan Shi from the Prince's Mansion to take a pair of wild geese to the Lin family.
…………
…………
When Lin Ruhai heard that Zhan Shi came to the Prince's Mansion, he knew why His Majesty had ordered him to wait at home so early today. When he welcomed Zhan Shi in, the official surnamed Huang raised his hand and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Lin on your happy event and your son-in-law."
Seeing Master Huang followed by a pair of palace eunuchs holding wild geese, Lin Ruhai could not guess what was going on. While he ordered people to collect the wild geese, he smiled and chatted with Mr. Huang for a few words. After Zhan Shi from the Prince's Mansion left, Jia Min walked out of the back room and took Daiyu to stand in front of the colorful clothes and Xia Phi that had been delivered.
"With this set of clothes given by the emperor, the one my mother prepared for you is no longer of use." Jia Min said with a troubled smile. The person in the palace could be so concerned about the marriage of her daughter and son-in-law. As an elder, how could she be unhappy? This means that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.
Daiyu blushed and did not dare to speak. Lin Jue, who came over after hearing the news, rubbed his hands eagerly. When he heard that Qingyue was going to Beijing, he couldn't help but want to go and play with his friends. His eyes were wandering around, and he didn't know what he was up to.
As the head of the family, Lin Ruhai looked at her grown-up daughter, then thought about Li Zhi and Li Xian's intentions, and smiled at his wife: "Originally, I wanted to keep Yu'er for a year or two, and wait until she was eighteen before we could get married. I think your majesty means that Heng'er will be released after this year at most."
"Ah? How could this be so?" Jia Min blinked and wondered, "Isn't this number one scholar determined to stay in Beijing?"
At this moment, Lin Ruhai calmed Jia Min's emotions, "The situation in the imperial court is unclear now, and it is incompetent and time-consuming to establish a new scholar in it. It is better to go out early and do practical things for the local people, which will help the stability of the imperial court." Sheji.”
Jia Min listened silently, then turned to look at her beloved daughter, and couldn't help but feel reluctant to let her go. This was her child who she had carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty. She had thought that after marrying Heng'er, she could stay in Beijing with her husband and stay with him for a few more years. Who would have thought that the two would leave home for a long journey just after getting married.
Daiyu noticed her mother's strangeness and hurriedly reached out to hold Jia Min's hand. She really didn't know what to say. She had the joy of marrying her sweetheart, but also the reluctance to leave her family.
At this time, Lin Ruhai was very open-minded, just looking at his beloved daughter: "Yu'er..." He thought for a long time before saying, "Dad is relieved that you can marry Heng'er."
"Yeah."
Daiyu nodded gently.
That night, Daiyu took Zijuan and Xueyan and hid in Jia Min's room. While mending the stitches, they talked about the warmth of mother and daughter. They all cherished this time at home.
…………
…………
A few days later, the Prince's Household Secretary returned with the gift book from the Lin Mansion. This small red note had Daiyu's birth characters written on it. Handing it to Chen Qi and Gu indicated that the elders of the Lin family had agreed to the marriage.
Next was the Naji. Chen Qi took Chen Heng and Daiyu's birth characters and came to the ancestral hall at home. The ancestral tablets here were brought by the Chen family from their hometown. They were all direct ancestors of Chen Gaishan's family. Above the ancestral hall, there was a plaque with the words "Three Yuans and One Di". Just looking at it, one could tell that the family here was extraordinary.
Li Xian sent a gift officer to help Chen Qi preside over the divination. Needless to say, the gift officer used eight words to describe it: 'A match made in heaven, a good month and a good day'.
Everyone in the mansion was happy and continued to prepare for the next thing. After the Naji, it was the Nazheng, when the man's family sent the betrothal gift to the woman's family. With the help of the Prince's Mansion, the porters hired by the Chen family lined up two streets long.
The leader, Chen Huaijin, was the happiest. He led a long procession from Chen's house to Lin's house. Behind him was the invited band, and the gongs and drums were loud along the way, which naturally attracted attention. Everyone looked over, and then looked at the endless porters, and asked about the origins of the newlyweds.
Hearing that the family of Chen Zhuangyuan, who had won six consecutive championships, was going to marry the family of Zuodu Yushi, everyone applauded and praised: Yue Lao was the matchmaker, and the couple was made in heaven. They followed one after another to join in the fun and show their support. With these people helping out, the gift-giving team was so long that there was no room for three or four streets.
Such a lively scene outside naturally could not be hidden from the people in Rongguo Mansion. Baochai was having a casual gathering with Tanchun and others today. When she heard the constant noise outside, she asked someone to go outside to ask the reason, and then she learned that the Chen family and the Lin family were pregnant.
The people in the room suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence. I really didn't expect that Lin Daiyu would get married so soon. They were all so surprised, not to mention Baoyu in Yihong Courtyard.
As soon as he got the news, he stumbled back to the house like a lost soul. Xiren thought he had drunk too much with Xue Pan again, so she brought up the sobering tea, but was angrily thrown out by Baoyu. Xiren was startled and hurriedly asked Sheyue and others to guard outside the door. She squatted down and looked at the young master who buried his head in his arms.
"Master, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you again?"
At this moment, Baoyu had already burst into tears. Thinking of his infatuation, all of which was a ruthless and useless flow of water, a huge sense of loss engulfed the young man's body and mind. He murmured: "You should laugh at Jia Lang for not getting everything, you should laugh at Jia Lang for not getting everything..."
"Why doesn't God pity me, why doesn't God pity me."
In despair, Baoyu kept raising his hands and pounding the table, crying loudly, heartbroken.
…………
…………
When the in-laws came to give gifts, the Lin Mansion naturally opened the main door, welcoming everyone into the mansion and accepting congratulations from the neighbors. Needless to say, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were smiling, and Lin Jue finally found a job and was able to go to the Chen residence with Chen Huaijin.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he greeted the elders of the Chen family first, and then excitedly went to find Chen Qingyue. As a result, when he ran to Qingyue's door, he ran into Chen Heng coming out. Lin Jue, this kid, immediately became timid. He stood in the corridor in a proper manner and saluted, saying, "Brother-in-law."
"Yeah." Chen Heng glanced at his brother-in-law, thinking that the two boys would not be able to read books properly together, so he said directly, "No riding, no climbing trees, lest you hurt yourself."
"Hey, brother-in-law, I save it. I will definitely not hurt myself and delay your wedding with your sister." Lin Jue happily responded. Anyway, as long as he didn't read books today, he could do anything.
Chen Heng didn't pay much attention to them, and went back to the central hall to discuss the wedding date with his parents. There are many good days ahead. Considering various factors, the wedding date was finally set after the selection in July.
After Lin Jue had enough fun at Chen's house, he took the steward of the Lin Mansion home. At this point, the only thing left for the two families was to wait for the wedding date.
Their two families were busy and excited, but the younger men of the Jia family were depressed. You say you don't go to this wedding, it's not justified. Jia's mother is the grandmother, Jia She and Jia Zheng are Daiyu's uncles, how can you not go. Not to mention that the master of the wedding is the prince, if you don't go, it will affect the dignity of the palace.
But if you say you go, thinking of what Chen Heng did to Xue Pan before, it's a bit embarrassing. The men of the Jia family are making a fuss, and Jia Zheng finally learned about the things at home. He immediately got angry, rushed into Baoyu's room, and caught him and gave him a beating.
"How did I write to you these years when I was away? I told you to read and study hard, and don't get tired and go out to cause trouble. You can't go a day without reading a book, or you won't stand up if you are rude. You hang out with friends all day long. , I can't even read a serious book. Look at the poor people outside, who are not striving for self-improvement."
The more Jia Zheng talked, the angrier he became. He chased after Baoyu's butt with the family method and waved it, "The number one scholar who won six yuan in a row is the first person in the scientific examination in my dynasty. You dare to get angry with him. Wait until he comes." When you enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, are you going to take your parents’ heads and put them on his case for him to play with?”
Jia Zheng had served as a local academic administrator, and he knew the nature of literati best. When they are invincible outside, they most like to fight inside. But once a noble disciple makes trouble in front of them, these people are the best to vent their anger through one nostril, which can be said to affect the whole body.
Not to mention people like Jie Yuan and Zhuang Yuan, who are all central figures in the annual scientific examinations. In the same year that they were on the list, there were a lot of responders waving their sleeves.
At Chen Heng's age, joining the cabinet to become prime minister may depend on chance. But in the future, it is a sure thing to be in the second or third rank of officialdom and wear scarlet jade. How stupid is his son to seek the other party's displeasure everywhere?
Fortunately, Baoyu was smart and ran to Jia's mother in one breath, only to be saved by her grandmother because Daiyu's wedding was approaching and the child was injured and could not go out by then.
With his old mother in front, Jia Zheng had no choice but to smash the bamboo stick in his hand on the ground and said angrily: "A loving mother often loses her children, a loving mother often loses her children."
…………

Shortly after the library selection in early July, the list was circulated everywhere. This time, the Hanlin Academy received a total of twelve shuji scholars and twenty political watchers. These people are Beijing officials who are sure to stay in Beijing, and they are half a step ahead in the officialdom. The remaining Jinshi must consider the way to be released abroad.
Some people celebrated, while others secretly regretted it. But there are also many smart people who have already voluntarily given up on choosing a library and started looking for ways to study abroad in May or June. They move early, and good places don’t wait for people. There were many good places immediately, which were selected by them first.
Wen Yu, who was the successor, also followed this path. His uncle had discussed with him that nowadays there are many palaces on the hilltop. If young people stay here, they will not be able to get things done. On the contrary, they will cause trouble and kill their ambitions. It is better to go to the local area and hone your practical abilities. When you have enough qualifications, it will be a matter of course for you to enter Beijing to govern.
"So, you are not going to continue working in the Maritime Department?" Chen Heng has a special place at home to receive guests. The two of them came together and sat on the soft couch under the wooden window. The sandalwood rises, I have good friends and good tea, so happy.
Wen Yu nodded and sighed: "It's a good yamen. Today the boss talks about the long side, and tomorrow the west side talks about the short side. Pushing and rejecting a simple thing is not the place for us to do anything."
"If you don't talk about me, I'm afraid that if you live in January or February, you will probably let it out." Wen Yu looked at Chen Heng. Most of the news about him in the court came from Wen Shiqian, and the source can be said to be very true and reliable.
Chen Heng did not hide it from him. Not only Uncle Lin mentioned this matter several times, but Li Zhi and Li Xian also hinted at it. He is Sandingjia, so he does not need to participate in the palace selection and be awarded an additional officer. As long as the palace examination is completed, he will automatically receive the official title of a sixth-grade Hanlin Academy editor.
"It should be after we get married and stay for another month or two that we will set off."
Chen Heng had to enter the Hanlin Academy. Now that I'm in, I have to spend some time to gain qualifications. When the time is almost up, you have to go somewhere to hone your skills.
"Where are you going?" Wen Yu had an expected expression on his face. He moved early and planned a job in Qingniwa before Du Yunjing and others left the library. This place is already undergoing great development, and one or two important ministers will be needed in the future. "If we were close, we could still be together as we did before."
Chen Heng laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "How could I know this? Your Majesty didn't say anything..."
"Then it seems that only Brother Cui will go to Beidi with me." Wen Yu sighed. It was a pity. Chen Heng's words were mysterious, but when he heard it, he knew that Beidi was definitely not within the scope of Li Zhi and Chen Heng's consideration.
"He probably has to wait for a while." Speaking of Cui Huan, there is a happy event. He and Wei Yinghong's granddaughter Wei Shu are about to become a couple. Speaking of which, counting with Chen Heng, it has something to do with walking.
"Ha." Wen Yu nodded with a smile and teased, "His ranking in the imperial examination is behind you, and even the wedding date is behind you. Brother Cui said that when you get married tomorrow, he will definitely get you drunk."
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Chen Heng was not afraid at all. He just raised his hand and said, "Just ask him to let his horse come over."
While the two were talking, Xinda suddenly ran into the house and said that the dowry from the Lin family had been delivered. When Chen Heng heard this, he was shocked and immediately got up and rushed to the central hall. Wen Yu wanted to celebrate the occasion and also accompanied him.
Several people came to the place where the sun shines, and saw the light and shadow in the courtyard, and the porters came and went, and came and went. Only then did Liu Xianglian notice them coming, and she said excitedly: "Zhixing, you don't know, it's so lively outside now."
Chen Heng chuckled and nodded implicitly. He was about to be the groom's official. No matter how busy it was outside, he couldn't go out to see it. He could only listen to Liu Xianglian's account of the situation.
The Lin family's dowry amounted to one hundred and eighty-eight loads, which was far more exaggerated than what the Chen family had given. The queue was so long that five or six streets could not be filled and could not be walked to the end. That's all. Lin Ruhai had a wide network of contacts in the capital, including countless colleagues, disciples, relatives and friends.
The gift-giving team passed by the door of these people's homes. There will inevitably be a few servants carrying things and shouting, "Master so-and-so, add some boxes and carry some" to join the queue.
In this way, the gift-giving queue is lengthened. It wasn't over until they arrived at Chen's house with their things, from when the sun was shining high until the sunset was shining brightly. The courtyard of the Chen family is filled with things sent by the Lin family. Chen Qi and Gu, who were already nervous, were anxious to rearrange Chen Heng's wedding room.
Chen Heng didn't have to worry about this matter. He was also very busy tonight. Xue Biao, Qian Dayou, and Jiang Yuanbai have all rushed home. Many Jinshi scholars of the same year heard the news and came over, ready to help their champion.
The library selection has ended, and many of them will be released in the next few days. The first batch of Jinshi to leave also asked someone to bring their gifts. When there were more people, the candlelight in Chen's mansion was inevitably bright enough to make daylight rise.
"I heard that the Lin family has prepared a lot of questions to embarrass us?"
"Brother Du is really a traitor. He was so frightened by his wife's words that he went directly over there to help his wife. We must not be suppressed by him then."
"What's the point of panic? I have all the poems ready. All I have to do is ask them to come over."
"Brother Xue, does your sister have any news over there that I can secretly pass on to you?"
This can also be said about me. Xue Biao quickly waved his hand to the Jinshi who asked the question and said with a smile: "My sister went to the Lin Mansion a few days ago. I didn't even meet her, so how could I know their thoughts and plans. "
…………
…………
In the Lin Mansion, the lanterns were lit for the first time. The lanterns of the past have been replaced with festive red colors, and the servants in the mansion are busy non-stop. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai also had no time to spare, and asked about the situation everywhere from time to time. The old parents' love for their daughter completely exploded tonight.
Only Daiyu was sitting in her boudoir, chatting with the sisters who came over. Bao Qin must be there, and there is no need to say more about Wei Qijun, Wei Shu and others who have been handkerchiefs since childhood. Over at Jia Mansion, Sanchun, Xiangyun and others were called. Only Baochai is missing. It is said that he will arrive with Baoyu tomorrow. The empress in the palace has announced that the marriage of these two people should be decided at a later date.
Daiyu introduced the sisters, and Wei Qi smiled and said: "I have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I hope for something good for my sister. Finally, before I leave Beijing, I can drink my sister's wedding wine."
Baoqin also chuckled, teasing Wei Qijun and said: "Sister Wei, it's okay even if you miss it, as long as you are polite and feel good about it."
Wei Qijun's eyes widened and he replied: "You sister Qin, you are indeed a big boss in charge of the trading company. This idea is all on my sister."
Seeing that Wei Qijun was about to bully Wei Shu together, Baoqin hurriedly hid behind Daiyu and said repeatedly: "Sister Lin, save me."
"You two, don't bully Baoqin." Daiyu put her arms on her hips to protect Baoqin behind her, laughing while blocking her.
"Okay, okay, on your big day, we will listen to you today." Wei Qijun blinked, looked at Daiyu, and then said, "We will settle this account on Baoqin's big day in the future."
"Hahaha." Baoqin smiled and stretched out two fingers, "Then I will want a double gift."
"If you talk too much, of course you will be indispensable. It depends on whether your husband is willing to accept it." Wei Qijun smiled. After all, she is a married woman, so her courage is different. She turned her head again and took the initiative to chat with the Jia girl.
Xiangyun has the most cheerful temperament. Although he and Daiyu's handkerchiefs haven't met much, they have spoken a few words and made everyone laugh. Tanchun leaned forward and looked at Daiyu's wedding dress curiously.
The wedding dress is a true red double-breasted large-sleeved shirt and a bright red pleated skirt, made of satin with gold embroidery and lotus makeup. Next to the wedding dress is a Xia Phi made of Qingluo gold embroidery, with clouds and magpie patterns on it, and silver flower and gold pendants hanging on both ends. After all, it is the craftsmanship of the palace. At a glance, every part is exquisite and beautiful.
Thinking that Daiyu would wear this set of clothes tomorrow and the expensive jewelry prepared by Jia Mu and Jia Min, Tanchun couldn't help but praise: "This dress is so beautiful. Sister Lin looks even better when she wears it."
Xichun's temperament was a little weird, and she joked on the spot: "Is it possible that Sister Tanchun is also attracted by love? Today is an auspicious day, so there is no harm in telling her about it. Later, my sister will also find a talented husband for her sister, and then let him leave the palace. Come here for a set."
"You don't have to look far for a good man. It just so happens that all the new scholars will be here tomorrow." Wei Qijun rolled his eyes and answered with a smile before saying anything, "Let's take a look at them through the window. If there is anyone we like, , Just ask Mrs. Zhuangyuan to come out to be a matchmaker. She has a lot of face and can tell you exactly when the time comes. Good things come in pairs, and life is getting better."
Tanchun didn't expect that she would be teased. She didn't want to tease Wei Qijun, so she pulled Xiangyun forward to catch Xichun. This girl was also interesting. She hid behind Wei Qijun in a few steps and said with a smile: "Good sister, please tell Sister Lin to save me."
These little girls are still having fun in the boudoir. Wei Yinghong's wife, Fan, has brought several ladies to Chen's house to make beds. Young Master Ding of the Lin family, Jia Min did not want Mrs. Wang to get involved in her daughter's marriage. Since it's not easy to invite Mrs. Wang, there's no need for the sister-in-law to get involved. I only asked Mrs. Shangshu, who had both children, to come over and complete this last step of the ceremony at Chen's house.
In the Chen family's wedding room, there were several women and maids holding bed utensils, as well as longan, red dates, lotus seeds and other dried fruits.
