Passerby's daily life

Chapter 66 Into the bridal chamber
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the guests came to the door one after another. At this time, the bride's sedan chair also traveled more than half of the capital, as long as they came in at the auspicious time.

After the two tables in the Suian hall are full, there is only a quarter of an hour before the bride enters the door.

As the host, the old lady is the head of the table. On this table are the old concubine of Prince Gong's residence, Prince Gong's concubine, Princess Changlong, Mrs. Zhen Guogong, Princess Ke, Mrs. Annanbo, and Mrs. Changlebo.

The second table was occupied by the female relatives of the families of the first and second rank officials. Although these wives' families were not honorable, their natal families were related to the several nobles present. The wife of Shangshu Zhou's family and the old lady of Xue's family, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.The old lady went to banquets several times, and they were introduced by them to make friends, so that she could quickly integrate into the circle of first-class ladies in the capital.

No matter how high the status of the female relatives are, they will always talk about gossip about the east and west, but it is more subtle and tactful.

Susu followed the old lady, and Yang Liu was in charge of the second table. After the tea was served, there were all kinds of desserts and candies, all of which were made into flower shapes and animal shapes.

Princess Changlong pinched a piece of peony-like noodle fruit and said: "This flower mold looks familiar, and it looks like a real flower." Princess Ke also said: "I look familiar too, it seems to be in the empress's place." I've seen it before, but it's not snacks, but peony flower-shaped incense, the empress said it was a gift from An Ning."

The old lady laughed and said: "A total of two sets of molds were made, one set was used to make the incense, and the other set was made to press the dessert!"

After hearing this, Prince Gong and the old concubine said: "I haven't entered the palace recently, but I haven't seen it, but Susu concocted it?"

A group of ladies came in and saw Susu behind the old lady.There are those who know her, and those who don't. Although they are dressed as maids, they really don't look like maids.Hearing that even the old concubine, Prince Gong knew her, was even more surprised!

Susu blessed the old concubine, "It's a birthday present specially prepared for the princess by our old lady's servants."

The old concubine said: "The incense that your old lady gave me that day is very good for me! No wonder Princess An Ning gave it to the empress, she is filial!"

Everyone talked about spices for a while, and then they heard firecrackers going off from the gate to Suian Hall. Princess Ke laughed and said, "The bride has entered!" Everyone congratulated, and the lady couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear.

Everyone here has status, and there are a few older ones, it is not easy to join in the fun, so I sent a few little girls to look ahead.

Susu then asked Ning Xiang and Wu Tong to take up this pleasing job, and a word came in after a while, "Mrs. Shizi has already got off the sedan chair, and she is wearing a wedding dress as red as fire. I have never seen her again! "

After hearing this, the old lady of Zhen Guogong said to Princess Changlong: "Like fire? Princess Wuyue gave the piece of fire brocade that the Holy Majesty gave her at the bottom of the box to make a wedding dress for that girl Lan Zhi." !" The eldest princess nodded, and said: "Wu Yue loves her sister-in-law very much." Seeing the others, they all looked blank.

Princess Changlong smiled and said: "You should have never heard of it. This fire cloud brocade is still a kind of brocade that the emperor's great-grandfather supervised for the emperor's great-grandmother back then. It is as red as fire and has the luster of gemstones. Over the past year, I don’t know how much manpower and silver it took to weave sixty bolts as a gift for the [-]th birthday of the emperor’s great-grandmother. Although the emperor’s great-grandmother liked it when she saw it, she also said it was too extravagant. The weaving method was also destroyed, and the sixty horses are the only ones left. After all these years, there are probably only a few horses left in the Imperial Palace and the Zhen Guogong Mansion."

Princess Changlong's great-great-grandfather was the founding emperor, and her great-great-grandmother was the direct sister of the first generation of Zhen Guogong.Although the epic love story between the founding emperor and the founding queen has been sung by later generations, in fact, these founding heroes have guessed a general idea from the few words left by their ancestors, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while. it is good.

Fortunately, another little girl came to report at this moment: "Mrs. Shizi has stepped over the brazier, and now she has worshiped heaven and earth, and is worshiping the high hall." Then another letter came, "Husband and wife have worshiped and sent to the bridal chamber!"

A few little girls ran away blushing, the last one came in was Wutong, the little man said solemnly that the husband and wife were paying homage and sent to the bridal chamber, which only made everyone laugh non-stop.

The old lady smiled and said: "Susu, give these children a few purses, and grab some fruits for them!"

Susu smiled and pulled Wutong out, "Go and tell your little sisters, go to the small kitchen to eat fruit, just say that the old lady rewarded you." Then she untied a purse from her waist, which contained more than a dozen gold and silver The scorpion was specially prepared by Susu, "Let's divide it up!"

Wutong took it over with a smile, talked to Susu, and ran to the backyard to check out a few little girls, including Ningxiang, Qingzhu, and Chunfeng. The son ordered to go down, "Let's set up a banquet!"

With an order, the big kitchen was in full swing, and the well-dressed maids, two by two with a food box, went to each courtyard by themselves.

The Suian Hall is naturally a first-class table, the tea and cakes are removed, and when the red agate dishes and ivory inlaid chopsticks are brought up, even the people who have seen the world are a little surprised.

The material is enough, but the carving is definitely at the level of a master. I knew that the famous masters have a bit of a weird temper. Even if the ordinary jewelry is not made of good jade and they don’t know how to do it, such two sets of tableware are enough to be heirlooms. !

The previous set of white jade tea set was enough to attract people's attention, but now it's tableware, the Song family is rich and not afraid of people knowing!

Especially when Mrs. Changlebo saw her, she had all sorts of thoughts in her heart.

Changle uncle's mansion is also one of the eight founding uncle's mansions, but from the first generation of Feng Bo, there are no capable descendants, and in recent decades it has long been unable to make ends meet, but because of the founding uncle's name, he insisted on maintaining his dignity.

Old madam, the reason why I invited her to take the seat this time is also because I want to make a face for the second girl!The reason why Uncle Chang Lebo fell in love with the Song family was because the Song family was rich and generous. Although they were known as "upstarts" in the capital, they were able to marry into the Marquis of Wenchang, and they were also the family of the princess. Their rise was unstoppable. .

And the reason why the elder master didn't force the second wife to withdraw the marriage with the second girl is also because the children of Changlebo's mansion in the past did not touch anything except female sex. Although their family can't help the Song family, at least they don't talk about it. The hind legs, and in the end it was also the Kaiguobo Mansion, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.The second girl also loves to make money, and she can't cause any trouble when she comes to this house. The backyard is enough for her to be busy.

Don't say that being a grandmother and uncle is cruel, because Uncle Changle's family has a rule that concubines can't give birth to children no matter how much they are favored.

When the concubines enter the backyard, they will drink a bowl of Juezi soup, so what if the concubine's house without children is noisy?
Only Mrs. Chang Lebo's mind is turning back and forth, but now no one pays any attention to it.
