"They are all newly bought people. There is no one who knows everything about the situation to guard the courtyard gate. Don't you worry?" Jiang said: "Let Mrs. Ma guard the second gate. She is young and can definitely guarantee the safety of the inner courtyard."

Zuo Xiangning knew in her heart that Ling Xiao would ensure the safety of Hou Mansion, especially since she had Bingyun and Bingyu beside her, there was no need to worry about safety issues at all.

But she still accepted Jiang's kindness.

"Then bring Mrs. Ma with you." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "I want to build a big flower house in the Hou Mansion and plant roses and peonies. When the flowers bloom, I will take you and Mama Cai to live there for a while."

"You, the first thing you do when you arrive at the Marquis Mansion is not to renovate everywhere, but to establish your authority and control everyone. Only then will you be able to do whatever you want." Jiang said: "I'm here What is written in the dowry is all the land and shop for you. I have someone cast a thousand taels of small silver ingots for you to keep as a reward. I also made several sets of silver jewelry for you to keep as a reward during the holidays. The girl who has rewarded me well, I also have three thousand taels of silver notes, which is enough for you to spend for two years. At the end of each year, I will give you another one thousand taels of private money..."

Zuo Xiangning looked at Jiang, and the corners of her eyes gradually turned red.

Jiang had thought of everything for her, and her biological mother was nothing more than that.

"Mother, let me show you something." Zuo Xiangning stood up and went to the inner room, took out a box and handed it to her, "Take a look."

Jiang took it with a smile, "What kind of treasure is it?"

When he opened it, he found dozens of land deeds and tens of thousands of taels of banknotes inside.

"Where did this come from?" Jiang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ling Xiao gave it to me." Zuo Xiangning bent her black and white apricot eyes, "I also have all the income and rent of these shops. Ling Xiao also said that the outer courtyard will give me another ten thousand taels of silver every year, so I have money, so give your money to my third brother. My third brother is the second son, and I will have to buy more things for him in the future."

"I have kept your third brother's share a long time ago. This is yours." Jiang said with a smile: "If you don't need it, just keep it and buy it as property in the future when you have the opportunity."

"Thank you, mother." Zuo Xiangning put her arms around Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang smiled from ear to ear.

Her eldest daughter, who had been dignified and steady since she was a child, never made such intimate gestures with her. Only Zuo Xiangning hugged her again and again, making her feel like she was truly liked and relied on by others. Feel.

It feels so good.

Zuo Xiangning's wedding date is set for March 18th.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed and it was the wedding day.

Zuofu was decorated with lanterns and colors, and even the jade lion at the door was tied with a red ribbon.

Zuo Xiangning was woken up early in the morning before dawn. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and let several people rub and paint her. After struggling for an hour, they finally let her face go. Change her clothes.

Zuo Xiangning looked at herself in the mirror and secretly sighed. Her face was as pink and white as a pastry fruit in a pastry shop.

She was really afraid that if Ling Xiao saw her later, he wouldn't be able to recognize her.

There was a huge procession to welcome the bride. The leading team in front beat gongs and drums, the sound was loud, and the drummers played cheerful music. Behind them were lion and dragon dances, performing wonderful dances.

Ling Xiao was wearing a red robe, a golden belt around his waist, and a red jade crown on his head. The golden hairpin tied the man's black hair neatly inside, and he rode a tall white horse with a red flower on its head. , walking in the middle of the team.

The streets and alleys along the road are also decorated with red lanterns and colorful silks, which are bright and festive.

The road was crowded with spectators.

The wedding team arrived at Zuofu, and Ling Xiao finally saw the woman he hadn't seen for many days.

Zuo Xiangning was wearing a wedding dress with a five-color cloud pattern of Bai Niao Chao Feng Yun Xia. Her black hair was all tied up. She wore a golden phoenix crown on her head and a red peony flower on her forehead. Her bright eyes were clear and agile, like the lake water in spring, twinkling. With waves.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Zuo Xiangning lowered her head shyly, revealing a section of her snow-white neck.

Ling Xiao quickly turned away and looked at Mr. Jiang who was sitting in the hall. "...As your husband's wife today, you should be diligent, kind, and intelligent to add luster to your husband's family and contribute to the continuation of the family inheritance. I hope you two will cherish this fate, support each other, and join hands. Together, we will live up to the destiny given by God..." Jiang's eyes moved from Zuo Xiangning's face to Ling Xiao, and said with a choked voice: "I will betroth Xiangning to you today, you must treat her well in the future. she."

"Don't worry, mother, I will treat her well." Ling Xiao said solemnly.

Jiang sighed secretly.

Which man doesn't make extravagant promises when getting married, but how many men can keep their promises?
Jiang personally covered Zuo Xiangning's head with a red hijab, and watched as her eldest son carried her out and got into the groom's sedan chair.

The drums and drums sounded, and the sedan chair team set off for the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. The lively and festive Zuofu Mansion suddenly became deserted.

Min Yujia supported Jiang's arm and said softly: "Mother, will my wife help you to the flower hall?"

"Okay." Mrs. Jiang came to her senses, looked away, and patted her eldest daughter-in-law's hand.

It's not easy to be someone's wife.

Ling Xiao walked to the sedan and reached out to help her bride out.

Zuo Xiangzhang lowered her head shyly and placed her jade fingers coated with red pills on Ling Xiao's hand.

Ling Xiao held her tightly, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Following Ling Xiao's steps, Zuo Xiangning walked up the steps step by step, her long skirt unfolding behind her like a blooming peony.

The wedding ceremony was held in the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

Here, Zuo Xiangning and Ling Xiao paid three obeisances and nine kowtows to their ancestors, and then served tea to their parents.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the only person sitting in the hall, Marquis Zhongyuan, and was stunned for a moment before passing the teacup to Marquis Zhongyuan.

Marquis Zhongyuan said some blessings in a gentle tone, and then handed Zuo Xiangning a thick red envelope.

Zuo Xiangning was helped back to her new house, while Ling Xiao was pulled to the front yard to attend the wedding banquet.

The guests drank and mingled with each other in the outer courtyard, and the laughter and laughter continued. It was not until night fell that the courtyard returned to calm.

Ling Xiao returned to the new house with empty steps.

Looking at the woman who was still sitting on the bed, he felt distressed and helped her take off the phoenix crown, "Are you stupid? This thing is so heavy, why are you still wearing it? Why don't you take it off first?"

"We haven't drank the Hexin wine yet." Zuo Xiangning held her head and cried out in pain, "Please be gentle, you pulled my hair."

"You are so stupid." Ling Xiao looked at the red mark on her forehead and rubbed it gently, "Who said you have to wear a phoenix crown to drink Hexin wine?"

"Isn't it just to look good?" Zuo Xiangning smiled sweetly at him, "Who told you to make the phoenix crown so heavy that my neck almost broke."

"They say the more valuable the things on top are, the more I value you. I really wanted to put all the good things on them." Ling Xiao hugged Zuo Xiangning and laughed, "After I finished it, I realized that it was too heavy. , but who would have thought that you could keep wearing it stupidly."

Suddenly a "gulu" sound sounded in the room.

Ling Xiao looked at the origin of the voice in amusement.

Zuo Xiangning rubbed her belly in embarrassment, "I haven't eaten anything all day. Can someone cook me a bowl of noodles?"

"Why are you so cute?" Ling Xiao looked at the delicate Zuo Xiangning, hugged her, kissed her hard on the forehead, stood up, and said to the door: "Hurry up and serve another meal."

Zuo Xiangning looked at his back, her eyes narrowed into slits.
