Da Suining

Chapter 287
Because of thinking about getting married, Lan Huai took half a month's leave and concentrated on preparing things at home. Even the wedding room, she had seen it many times, and she lay down on the wedding bed to see if it was soft enough. Even the color of the brocade tent was chosen according to Xiang Suining's preference.

"On the day you get married, the emperor said that he will send an imperial decree and get married according to the decree, which is a great honor." Princess Guo couldn't hide her pride: "The emperor treats us with great kindness, and you must do good for the royal family in the future." Effectiveness is."

The two families set the date on the sixth day of December, which is the end of the year, and the atmosphere of the New Year is permeating everywhere. The colored silk on Baolong Street stretches from the street to the end of the street, and it looks red from a distance. The hawkers set up their stalls early and collected them early. The incense candles and candles have long been bought by the Changxinhou Mansion, and the walnut, peanut, and blossom steamed buns have also been picked up to the Changxinhou Mansion. Half of the porcelain in the porcelain workshop is bought by the Changxinhou Mansion. The mansion took it as ornaments, and the cloth from half of the room in Liuyunfang was selected by Changxinhou's mansion to make clothes.Even Mrs. Zhang, who sells tea on the street, boiled water to make tea and did not solicit business as usual. She just brewed a pot of Tieguanyin and sat down to drink while gossiping with the crowd: "The wedding party at the princess's mansion has already gone to welcome the bride. After a while, the bride's sedan chair will pass by here, I heard that the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, we can see it."

"That's not true. I heard that this marriage was arranged by the emperor. What an honor it is. Who in Xuanguo has such a grandeur? After all, it is the emperor's nephew getting married, which is different from a small family."

Xiangfu.

The bright red colored silk was tied into a huge red flower and hung at the door.The vermilion lacquer gates on both sides are pasted with big red happy characters.A few servants of the Xiang's mansion wore red silk around their waists, and stood at the door looking around beamingly. When they saw the welcoming team from Changxinhou's mansion, they happily ran into the mansion to deliver the message.

Xiang Suining wore a wedding dress embroidered with red peony flower patterns in gold thread, and she combed her hair in a cloudy bun. Her hair was very voluminous and jet-black. Combing this kind of bun was the most suitable, making her face appear small and delicate, with a light and pale face. Just a little bit of rouge and lip balm, it will be white and tender, very attractive.

The hairpin in the hair is the bottom of Mrs. Xianglao's press box, the Qibao Ruyi hairpin, the Jin Ruyi carved phoenix hairpin, and a large pearl flower made of ruby, each of which is priceless.

The string of dazzling green emerald beads around his neck can be searched all over Qingcheng, and he probably won't be able to find a second one.

Even what Xiang Suining wears on his wrist is a double-dragon opera bead Ruyi hollowed-out gold bracelet, but judging by the workmanship, it is worth a lot.

From Madam Xiang's point of view, although the styles of these jewelry items are not the latest, they are priceless. After being stored in the warehouse for so long, she is not willing to take them out. They are all prepared for Xiang Suining.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Xiang Suining, who usually wears plain clothes, wears these jewellery, and his whole body is bright, especially the string of emerald beads that are three points greener than the lake water and three points crystal clear around his neck. It's so green that water drips out.

After putting on all these, Mingzhu picked up a powder puff and powdered Xiang Suining, and then carefully painted four-petaled flowers with a red brush on her eyebrows. The petals are delicate, and people are more delicate than flowers.

Xiang Suining in the bronze mirror is full of jewels, red lips and white teeth, bowing his head and raising his brows, all are scenery.

Mrs. Xiang silently looked at Xiang Suining in front of the bronze mirror, and for a moment she choked up.

This child who had suffered from childhood, this child she had worked so hard to care for, was now going to marry.

Thinking that she married Lan Tuan, Mrs. Xiang felt a little bit relieved. After marrying, life will be good.

Mrs. Xiang was always worried, so she took off the white jade bracelet on her wrist and quietly put it on for Xiang Suining: "This jade bracelet has been with grandma for half her life, and she has seen all kinds of storms and waves. Keeping the warmth of grandma, grandma put this bracelet on your hand, and from now on, you will have a smooth life, free from disasters and difficulties."

This atmosphere, this situation is really enviable.

Xiangyan brought her babbling daughter back to Xiang's house to participate in the wedding, and she still put on airs like a princess.It's just that it's not as good as before. Many of the valuable furnishings in the palace were also moved and moved by Concubine He, saying that they were kept for the prince's daughter, but in fact they were just to guard against Xiangyan.

"Look, look, your grandmother wants to move the whole family to her. The hairpin on her head is more than strands of hair, and the bracelet on her wrist is also made by a craftsman. When you were going to marry into the palace, I said I have to buy more jewelry for you, lest outsiders see the joke, your grandmother shrank her head and said nothing, look at the marriage with Suining, she moved these guys out of the warehouse, tsk tsk." Tang Xiaoniang pinched Bend down and complain.

Xiangyan shook the small drum to coax the child in her arms, and the child always touched the gold and silver objects placed in the courtyard. There were at least dozens of boxes and cages in the courtyard, and some contained golden pots, bowls, and chopsticks. Some are filled with silver mirrors and silver cakes, some are porcelain vases made by the government, and some are clothes with gold thread made by the Shanggong Bureau. They are as big as a Babu bed and as small as a gold comb. Xiangjia also prepared three towels.Thinking about Xiangyan's family's perfunctory when she got married, Xiangyan coaxed the child and became a little angry: "It's also about marrying a daughter, and I'm better than her, so I'm not as good as her. Her life is too good. "

"It's okay for you to marry, who knows that the one who doesn't live up to you is a short-lived ghost." Tang Xiaoniang sighed: "Now your mother-in-law is making things difficult for you in every possible way, and she is still a concubine. Just finish her, how can there be those things."

"Mother said it lightly. Now that there is no prince, we orphans and widowed mothers are hard to bear. Although my mother-in-law is useless, she is still the title of concubine. If she is good or bad, we will be even more helpless in the future. "

"Don't you still have a mother, why bother to say such depressing words."

"Mother is not working now either." Xiang Yan snorted coldly.

As long as he can remember, his father, Xiang Daying, has been working diligently on duty, and stayed with Tang Xiaoniang in the mansion after the court.

What Tang Xiaoniang said was what she said, and Xiang Daying never dared to refute.

In the past few years, as the child has grown up, Xiang Daying's wings have grown hard.

He is not as considerate to Tang Xiaoniang as usual, sometimes he dares to refute what Tang Xiaoniang says.

It's as if Tang Xiaoniang asked Xiangguo to go to the emperor's place more often, so that she could become a first-rank official early, so that she could find a reward for his mother, and then be an imperial order or something, but Xiang Daying repeatedly refuted her, saying Good women don't do it, and think about these things every day.

It’s also like the things that Xiang Suining got married to, good guy, the mother-in-law’s housekeeper moved it, carried it, Xiang Guoxin called all the soldiers under his command to help move it, how many things would have to be carried away from Xiang’s house ah.Tang Xiaoniang squeezed her thigh distressedly, and told Xiang Daying more than once that the water thrown out by her married daughter is useless, and there is no way to get these things back, Xiang Daying alone Little official, there is only a few salaries a year, the gold and silver should be left at the Xiang's house for food and drink, how can they be carried to the princess' mansion, it is not in vain to make it easier for outsiders.

Xiang Daying listened to it at first, and then he followed the group to sort out the dowry for Xiang Suining, made a dowry list, and warned Tang Xiaoniang: "I have seen Suining's dowry list, and it is reasonable. The gold and silver porcelain on it , and those hairpin necklaces and jewelry are also the dowry of the Tang family or the old lady. These dowries were originally passed down from generation to generation, and it is reasonable to pass some of them to Suining. stuff, so you don't have to have an opinion."

These words directly blocked Tang Xiaoniang's mouth.

That's right, when Tang married Xiang Daying, the Tang family was rich and self-willed in business. Although Tang is stupid now, she also kept a part of the dowry, not to mention the old lady's dowry, which supported dozens of Xiang's family. There is no problem for a year, and now the dowry of the two of them is added up to Xiang Suining, how rich and honorable it is.

Tang Xiaoniang also had no choice but to say bitterly: "Who made people have wealthy mothers and grandmothers? Who made me just a little maid and a little actor. I have no family background, and I will be looked down upon when I marry."

"Have a great day, talk about what to do." Mrs. Xiang came over with a cane, and heard the messenger from outside said that the bridegroom of Changxinhou's mansion had already arrived at the door, and Tang Xiaoniang was still doing something for her. The matter of the dowry is crooked.

"The old lady loves Suining, she bought so many things for her, Suining doesn't have to do anything in his life, and he doesn't have to worry about food and drink." Tang Xiaoniang's voice was sour.

"You're right. What I think is that after Suining gets married, he doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't have to worry about food and drink."

Tang Xiaoniang was devastated.

Mrs. Xiang really dared to admit it.

Xiang Guoxin stepped forward, gently put the red hijab on Xiang Suining's head, took her hand, and led her to the door.

At the gate of Xiangfu.

The groom, Lan Tuan, was riding a big black horse with a red silk flower on his chest. When Suining came out, Lan Tui got off the horse and knelt down respectfully to Mrs. Xiang and the others.

"My lord, you don't need to be polite." Xiang Daying hurriedly supported him, but the corners of his mouth were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Finally, he and Tang's daughter are getting married.

The married son-in-law is still the best among the noble sons of Qingcheng, he really looks left and right, no matter how he looks at it, he is pleasing to the eye, no matter how he looks at it, he can't get enough of it.

Xiang Suining was dressed in happy clothes, and the four corners of the big red hijab swayed gently in the wind.

She couldn't see Lan Fa's appearance today, but could only see his hand holding the knife and his boots. Today he was wearing black boots with golden thread embroidered with wishful cloud patterns.

"After leaving, I will be a member of Changxinhou's Mansion. You must know how to be filial to your parents-in-law, treat your husband well, and do your duty as a wife." Xiang Da said earnestly.

"It's best for a husband and wife to be harmonious. If you have any difficulties, you can come back to grandma at any time." Mrs. Xiang was worried after all.

Xiang Guoxin supported Xiang Suining's arm, and handed her hand to Lan Fa's.

Xiang Suining's hand was a little cold, and the blue faded big hand wrapped her small hand in the palm of his hand, and it warmed a lot with a light grip.

"Brother-in-law, my sister will be entrusted to you from now on." Xiang Guoxin's voice was a little low.

"Okay, it's getting late, don't miss the auspicious time." Xiang Daying looked at the sky and waved to Lan Tui, which meant it was time to go back.

Lan Tuo took Xiang Suining's hand, knelt down, kowtowed to her parents, then took her hand again, sent her to the sedan chair, closed the sedan chair curtain, and went to Changxinhou's mansion.

Mrs. Xiang was standing at the door, and she seemed to be missing a lot of things in her heart.Inadvertently, tears started to drip down, and Madam Su stroked her back and handed her a handkerchief: "Old lady, don't be sad, it's a girl's blessing to marry a good man, and she will live happily ever after."

Mrs. Xiang wiped away her tears, looking at the endless red silk on the long street, Lan Fa's tall and straight figure, and the red sedan chair, she felt both joy and sadness in her heart.

Xiangyan looked at Xiang Suining's marriage battle, and her heart was even more sour as she held her daughter in her arms: "I thought I was married in a grand manner at the time, but now I know what a grand marriage is, with a lot of red makeup. , It’s really a bad marriage.”

"Hey, why bring this up again now." Tang Xiaoniang also stomped her feet: "The dead ghost prince is dead, and you are very comfortable alone. If you want to remarry, Xuanguo is not without precedent. I will find you a family at that time." , hold a more grand wedding than this."

"Who would dare to marry me." Xiang Yan pinched the child's face: "How did that dead ghost die? Half of the people in Qingcheng know it well. Any man dares to touch me without his life. What's even more annoying is, What was left to me was actually a daughter, and with this oil bottle, those men even shunned me. My life is miserable."

"Everything is my own creation, let's just settle down when it comes." Xiang Daying folded his hands behind his back, and the joy at the corners of his mouth had not yet dissipated.

Xiang Yan snorted.

Tang Xiaoniang curled her lips: "Master's words are becoming more and more difficult to listen to now. I am afraid that the master has a powerful son-in-law, so he wants to bully our orphans and widows."

"Don't dare, dare not. Madame, please go back to the room. The bird's nest I ordered from the kitchen for Madam should be ready. Madam has worked hard these days. I'll beat Madam's legs later." Xiang Daying laughed along with her.

Only then did Tang Xiaoniang turn her anger into joy.

This is the Xiang Daying she trained.

That's more or less.

Mrs. Xiang watched this scene from a distance, and could only secretly scold her son for not living up to expectations.

A majestic official of the imperial court was being manipulated to death by a concubine. The appearance of laughing with him was not so wretched when meeting the emperor.

Fortunately, he is also the head of the Xiang family.

It's a joke when you say it.

On the long street, drums and music are playing together.

Baolong Street is full of water.

Common people melon seeds bench mineral water.

"At such an old age, I have only now seen what ten miles of red makeup is. This time when Xiang's family married their daughter, they also married a lot of things. Look at those boxes and cages, we won't be able to earn them all our lives."

"There is only one son, Mr. Lan, in the princess' mansion. If he marries him, he will naturally enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth. Back then, the Xiang's family was no more than mediocre in Qingcheng. Now the two daughters are married so well. That son has also made military achievements. , It’s a good day for Xiang’s family, it’s coming soon.”

Zhengen Temple.

The emperor wandered in the hall.

Lu Yu went in with the medicine box, only to find that the emperor had a smile on his face, and he didn't look sick.

But the eunuch obviously called him an imperial doctor.

"Come here. I have something for you to do."
