Passerby's daily life

Chapter 64

The grand marriage between the son of Uncle Shun'an and the daughter of the Marquis of Wenchang, can be described as having guests from all over the world, and it was very lively. In modern times, it can be regarded as a century-old wedding.

Although Shun'anbo Mansion has the least background, it is obvious that the elders are capable and the younger generation are motivated, and now they are married to the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion.
Coupled with Mrs. Song's "old lady diplomacy" these days, many concubines, princesses, and wives first go to Wenchanghou's Mansion to send off their marriage, and then come to Shun'anbo Mansion to have wine and congratulate.There were two tables in the flower hall of Suian Hall, and the guests were the female relatives of these clans and first-class families in the capital.

Other female relatives whose status does not reach this level are accompanied by the first lady, the second lady and the third lady?The old lady uttered harsh words, if anyone did something disgraceful and made the Song family lose face, the Song family would not be able to tolerate it, no matter who it was.

The eldest lady and the second lady are not really stupid, so they naturally know what to do!
The girls who came were accompanied by several girls from Song Dynasty, but the seventh girl was still young after all, so let the nanny take good care of her, just don't be surprised!

The main task of Susu and Yang Liu is to accompany the old lady, to keep an eye on all directions, to listen to all directions, and to make sure the guests in the flower hall are satisfied.

Ning Cui and Yun Duo were solely responsible for entertaining the maids and women who came to the banquet with their masters.No wife would bring only one person with her when she went out, and opened twenty tables for these people to eat and drink!
Others may not know it, but how could the old lady not know that a decent servant girl's words in front of her master are more useful than outsiders' hundreds of words!
Today, the eldest son is very happy, and all the maids in the mansion changed into new clothes according to their grades: green clothes and gray trousers for the rough ones, and a light yellow vest for the special ones today; the red satin jacket for the third class Green trousers and blue satin waistcoats; second-class maids wear green shirts, yellow skirts, and silver-red waistcoats; big maids wear light yellow tops, moon-white skirts, and pomegranate red waistcoats.All maids and women all wear a big red palace sash.

In the inner courtyard, there is a woman standing every ten steps, especially in the garden where the girls are, so guarded that even a male fly cannot fly in.

At five o'clock in the morning, the owners of all the houses also got up.In ancient times, for those who were "faint" when they were married, the wedding was usually held at night.Going to meet the bride in the morning is actually like going through 81 difficulties, all kinds of difficulties, and walking around the main road in the city. It would be great if you can marry the bride in the door in the afternoon! (I checked a lot of information, but I still don't know much about it, so it's purely fictional, feel free to spray it if you don't like it!)

Although the wedding is held at night, it doesn't mean that you can be free during the day.

Guests, come early if you are friendly, come later if you are not familiar, and join in the fun casually. Although a serious dinner usually starts at five o'clock and ends at nine o'clock, the Song family started it as early as the day before the wedding. The running water mat is set up, and it will be placed until Mrs. Shizi returns.

The chef who made the banquet was the master of Wangxiang Building. For this reason, Wangxiang Building was closed for two days. All kinds of fresh ingredients have been continuously sent to Shun'anbo Mansion since the day before yesterday, and this morning.

In ancient times, people were divided into ranks, ranks, and ranks, and the mats were naturally classified into high and low. People with different identities used different mats.

The chefs in Wangxiang Tower are only in charge of the two tables in Suian hall and the five tables in the outer courtyard, and the stewards are in charge of candy, snacks, tea, cold dishes that have been prepared long ago, and steamed dishes on the tray. The large, vacant kitchen is now in full swing.All kinds of tableware, tea sets, and wine vessels were moved out of the warehouse.

The guests at the two tables in the flower hall of Suiantang can be said to have the highest status among the guests. All the utensils are carefully selected: the tableware is made of red agate carved with rich and noble lotus patterns, the tea set is made of white jade pinched with gold silk peony, the wine The vessel is made of sapphire carved with plum blossoms.

These utensils are all for the grand wedding of the eldest son, and the third master personally supervised the handling, and took out a lot of money like running water, and invited a famous opera troupe in the capital, hoping that the guests of honor will have a good time.

The old lady is wearing a moon-white square-mouth jacket with a stand-up collar, a pair of skirts embroidered with folded branches and peonies on a light gold background, and a dark red horse-face skirt with black embroidered gold trim.

A round bun is combed on the head, a red agate and amber stone magpie ascending plum hairpin is inserted obliquely on the left side, three red gold inlaid red treasure double happiness hairpins are inserted on the right side, and a cloud bat inlaid with emeralds inlaid with light gold rolling red Tattoo forehead.

Around the neck is a string of [-] emerald green glass jade bead chains the size of lotus seeds. The rest of the earrings, rings, and bracelets are all made of the same piece of jade, which is indescribably luxurious.

Susu picked out another purple peony flower from the makeup box, pinned it behind the old lady's head, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the old lady!"

Yang Liu also led all the servants of Suian Hall and said in unison: "Congratulations to the old lady!"

The old lady smiled and said: "Congratulations and congratulations! Tell me to go on, let me be more energetic and vigilant today. After today, the servants of the whole house will pay two more months of rewards."

Wen Xin'er's servants were all cheering, last month was Shizi High School, and they were rewarded two months ago.This month is the marriage of the eldest son, and another two months' monthly money has been rewarded.This made everyone look forward to it. It would be great if Mrs. Shizi would be happy next month, and she would get the reward in two months!

In order to reward the money, all the servants cheered up and made sure not to make any mistakes!
After breakfast, the three wives, several girls, and relatives and friends from Yangzhou all came to Suian Hall. The second aunt, third aunt, and uncle were all assigned by the old lady to accompany the guests.

Let's not mention these for the time being, let's just say that the auspicious time has come, the prince is dressed properly, riding a tall horse, accompanied by the bearer who carries the sedan chair, the people who beat the gongs and drums, and several young masters and a few friends that the prince knows, Act as best man.

He knocked all the way out the door.

In Suian Hall, the old lady was talking with the old lady of the Li family, when the daughter-in-law (Yangliu's mother) who was in charge of the outer courtyard came over, came in and greeted the old lady and old lady Li, and said: "The elder said that the old lady should clean up the yard. Qing, except for Mother Qin and the four big maidservants who are around to serve, everyone else avoids, our mother and little princess are here! ”

The old lady was startled when she heard this, "How did you come here, who? Why didn't you even have a letter before!"

Yang Liuniang replied: "When the nobleman arrived at the door, the Elder Master received the letter. It was the Holy Majesty who accompanied the empress and the princess. It was a private visit in low clothes, and no one else knew about it. The Holy Majesty and the empress said not to say anything, just sit for a while and then leave. The master is accompanying the saint in the study, the empress and the princess sit in the sedan chair, and will arrive at the Suian hall in a while."

The old lady hurriedly asked Susu and Yang Liu to give orders, and told all the servants to go to the backyard, so as not to offend the empress.

Mrs. Li also wanted to avoid her, but she was stopped by the old lady, "It's fine for others, you are the mother's direct aunt, so you can't see her anywhere! You haven't seen her for almost 20 years, and you don't know what to do if you see her this time." When will we see you again!" Mrs. Li didn't insist.

Outside, Susu and Yang Liu only said that there were distinguished guests, and after they settled down for the servants, they saw the old lady's usual luxurious sedan chair being carried by eight stout women.

Susu saw the wives carrying the sedan chair into the courtyard, waited for them to retreat outside the courtyard, then closed the courtyard door, opened the sedan chair curtain with Yang Liu, and asked the lady to get off the sedan chair.

At this time, the old lady and Mrs. Li were helping each other out of the house...
