Chapter 535(1/2)
Tomorrow is the big day, but as early as two months ago, Princess Protector's Mansion was busy with Jing Heng's wedding.
Not only were the many green walls repainted, all the green plants and flowers that caught the eye were replaced, but new clothes were also cut for the maids and servants, which was enough to make everyone feel that the only two masters valued the new master who was about to enter the house.
.
Today's Princess Mansion has changed from the elegance and tranquility of the past. It is decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere, and it is full of festive colors that make people feel happy in their hearts.
The servants who came and went were all beaming, not only because they had received a large sum of money, but also because their new master was a good one and did not have to worry about unnecessary criticism.
The capital is a day's journey away from Qingshan Village. In order not to miss the auspicious time to worship, Jingheng will rush to Qingshan Village with other people who are going to pick up the bride today, rest in Xiaoli at night, and then go to Qin's house to pick up the bride early tomorrow morning.
Therefore, the people to pick up the bride have been arranged at this moment, and they are all waiting at the gate, waiting for Jing Heng, the rightful owner, to come out.
In the main hall, Princess Protector looked at her tall and tall son in front of her, straightened his clothes herself, and reminded him in a gentle voice: "You and Xiaoxiao can't see each other before your marriage. Please be patient after tonight and don't go to your in-law's house."
Find her, otherwise the old man and the others will be unhappy."
Jing Heng was not very used to her closeness, and his face looked a little stiff: "Well, I will hold back."
When he said this, Princess Protector didn't believe it and could only warn her again: "When you get married for the first time, there are many rules that you don't understand and don't understand. You should listen more to your cousin and the matchmaker. They ask you to do it."
Just do as you are told. Go to your in-law’s house tomorrow to pick up your bride. No matter who makes things difficult for you, don’t lose your temper..."
Jingheng listened patiently and responded from time to time without feeling impatient.
While mother and son were talking, Shitou came in and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Young Master, the matchmaker said the time has come, and hopes that Young Master will leave as soon as possible."
Princess Protector thought about it carefully and made sure that she had done all the things that needed to be said, so she waved her hand: "Go quickly, I will arrange everything in the house. You just need to pick up Xiaoxiao and come back to visit me to get married."
Jing Heng nodded: "Thank you, mother."
Princess Protector smiled and shook her head, signaling him to leave quickly.
Until Jing Heng's shadow was no longer visible, she felt that there was something she had forgotten to mention. Even after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't remember what it was, so she simply put it aside and called in several senior managers in the mansion.
, arrange all the matters for tomorrow.
In addition to Rock, Paper, Scissors and other guards and Mr. Jing Er, who was hired by the Qin family, there were also Li Ke who was invited by Jing Heng and uninvited people from various princes' and princes' mansions.
The prince, the prince, and Lian Chengyu, who stepped in midway and insisted on following.
Including their respective servants, the group totaled 400 people, and they looked particularly powerful. If it weren't for the gorgeous eight-carrying sedan in the middle, the common people along the road would have thought they were going to war.
Facing Jingheng's disgusted and repulsive eyes, Lian Chengyu said plausibly: "Miss Qin has saved my life, what's wrong with me going to pick her up?"
The words in this scene were beautifully spoken, and there was clearly contentment in his eyes. He had nothing to do with Jing Heng, and he would do it happily as long as it made Jing Heng unhappy.
"The more people there are, the better, the more the better..." As the only person who was lucky enough to be invited by Jing Heng to pick up the bride, Li Ke had to bite the bullet and stand up and mediate: "Xiao Jing, it is unlucky to be angry on a big day."
Jing Heng finally listened and gave Lian Chengyu a cold look with a threatening tone: "Be honest and don't cause trouble!"
Lian Chengyu thought he had given in, and said with joy: "Uncle, don't worry, even if I don't care about your face, I still want to give my savior some face, and I will never cause trouble."
Jingheng believed him for the time being and stopped talking to him.
Lian Chengyu refused to let go of the opportunity to tease him. He turned his eyes and revealed a bit of evil: "Uncle, I heard that there is no one to serve in your room so far. Can you do it during the wedding night tomorrow night?"
Jing Heng's face turned dark instantly and he said sternly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will teach you how to crawl back to the Prince's Mansion today!"
Under such a sudden burst of powerful aura, Lian Chengyu couldn't help but think of the scene where he was pinned to the ground and beaten by him many years ago, crying for his father and mother.
He shrank his neck, but did not forget to talk: "Uncle, I am caring about you. Even if you don't like to hear it, don't treat my kindness as a donkey. As long as you nod, I will find someone immediately.
A girl with an innocent fortune will eat meat for you."
Jing Heng endured it, but he couldn't hold it back anymore, and the riding crop in his hand hit Lian Chengyu's horse's butt hard.
"hiss--"
The horse was in pain, raised its front hooves high, and galloped forward like crazy.
"Ah——" Lian Chengyu was caught off guard and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, he was good at riding and quickly stabilized his figure. It didn't cause any disaster, but it just scared him enough.
Seeing this thrilling scene, Li Ke and others gasped. They wanted to say something, but when they saw Jing Heng's stern eyebrows, they couldn't say a word.
Mr. Jing Er felt that it was a bit much and said disapprovingly: "His Royal Highness has a child's mind. Why should you, an elder, care about him?"
Jing Heng said coldly: "He disrespects his elders first, why not teach him a lesson?"
Mr. Jing Er really wanted to say that this is the crown prince's legitimate son, and even if he makes mistakes, it is not your turn to teach him a lesson. However, this nephew followed his words, so he didn't feel comfortable talking to himself, so he said nothing more.
Anyway, one of them is the holy grandson, and the other is his nephew. It would really give him a headache to fight with the holy one, so he'd better not be annoying here.
Perhaps because he knew that Jingheng was a ruthless person and would not show mercy to him, Lian Chengyu finally calmed down and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
Less than half an hour after he had calmed down, he caught Li Ke and complained: "My uncle is still a little boy at this age. I was really worried that he wouldn't be able to get married before I reminded him kindly. How could he do this to me?"
!”
The corner of Li Ke's mouth twitched, and he advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please stop saying a few words. You are just worried. This kind of matter must be raised by the elders. How can a nephew find a girl for his uncle to eat meat with?"
Lian Chengyu grinned, hiding his thoughts of watching the show: "My uncle is going to the bridal chamber tomorrow. This is not a matter of urgency. There is no time to remind my aunt."
Seeing him not afraid of death, Li Ke didn't know what to say. Afraid that he couldn't help teasing Jing Heng again, he persuaded him: "Your uncle can handle this kind of thing, so we can do it."
I’m going to pick up the bride and have a nice drink at the princess’s mansion tomorrow.”
Lian Chengyu was impatient to hear this. Seeing how boring he was, he waved his hand perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I know what to do."
Li Ke felt that he would not be honest, but there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, so it was hard to say anything.
As expected, Lian Chengyu went to flirt with Jing Heng again on the way. However, he learned to be smart and did not dare to do it openly. He would either show off his waist or the concubine in the backyard, and then mock him openly or covertly.
Jing Heng said something.
Jing Heng turned a deaf ear and was really annoyed by his nagging, so he just let rock-paper-scissors drag him away, out of sight and out of mind.
It wasn't until the golden crow set in the west and the group arrived at Xiaoliju that Lian Chengyu, who felt deeply tired, stopped, ordered someone to clear out a guest room and fell asleep, not even bothering to get up to eat dinner.
Xiaoliju has also been taken care of in advance. Not only is it brand new inside and out, but it is also decorated with lights and colorful decorations like the palace of the Protector of the Country. The scenery here is no worse than the palace in the capital. Li Ke and others are in high spirits after having a meal.
of touring.
Jing Heng asked the steward to arrange a residence for Mr. Jing Er and others, and took advantage of the bright moonlight to cross the lake and head to Qin's house.
"Young Master, His Highness has told you that you cannot go see Miss Qin." Shitou bravely caught up with her and persuaded her with sincerity: "It is unlucky for newlyweds to meet before the wedding, so please bear with it for the time being."
Jing Heng didn't stop: "I'm discussing something with grandpa. I didn't go to see her specifically."
Shitou Wuyu: As long as you see Miss Qin, does it make any difference whether you do it "on purpose" or not?
Jingheng ignored his thoughts and went straight onto the boat.
Shi Shi didn't dare to stop her, so she could only follow her and get on the boat.
At this time, the Qin family was brightly lit, with red lanterns hanging everywhere. The room was also decorated with red silk, full of joy, but this joy was quickly dissipated by the crying coming from the room.
.
In the main room, all the men are there.
Listening to the crying in the room, Mr. Qin and Qin Shan Qin Huai couldn't help but blush. Even though they were ready for their granddaughter (daughter) to get married, when the day finally came, the father and son still felt a deep sense of reluctance.
Especially Qin Huai, he had never participated in his daughter's growth, nor had he ever heard her call "Dad", which made him not even qualified to warn his daughter who was about to get married like Qin Shan... The many regrets accumulated in his heart made him
Extremely uncomfortable.
Dabao and Erbao were not much better. They regarded Qin Xiaoxiao, their cousin, as their own sister. All the scenes of their childhood games and games came to their minds, making them secretly regret that time passed so fast and their younger sister was about to get married.
.
In contrast, Sanbao's emotions are more restrained. There is no sadness or reluctance on his handsome face. No one knows what he is thinking in his heart.
Qin Chuan, Zhao Dazhu and others had different expressions on their faces. They didn't feel much regret for Qin Xiaoxiao. They also had some hidden thoughts between them. From time to time, they whispered about the matter of coming to pick up the bride from the Princess Mansion tomorrow.
"Grandma, Grandma Qin, didn't we agree before that this crying marriage is just a formality? If you continue to cry, my eyes will become swollen from crying."
In the room, Qin Xiaoxiao held the sobbing old Mrs. Miao with one hand, and held the old Mrs. Qin who couldn't stop crying with one hand. She laughed and coaxed them not to cry, but her face was full of tears: "Crying with such beautiful eyes."
It's such a pity that it's swollen, I still want to get into the wedding sedan beautifully tomorrow."
There is a custom of crying in marriage in Le'an, which usually starts one month before a woman gets married. She has seen the heart-breaking scene of a cousin from the Lin family crying when she got married, but she couldn't bear to let her family cry in this way, fearing that she would not be able to stop crying once she started.
Come on, this is too harmful.
Therefore, before she cried for marriage, she discussed it with other people and just said it twice. It was not like she would not come back after she left.
After being persuaded by her granddaughter, Mrs. Miao didn't even want to cry or not cry. Finally she said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, grandma won't cry anymore. Tomorrow grandma will send you to the wedding sedan with a smile."
Mrs. Qin also burst into laughter and couldn't help but nodded her granddaughter's forehead: "You are just a living treasure."
The two old ladies stopped crying, Zhao Cao'er, Li Yingran and the Qin sisters also stopped crying, and also persuaded Hu Qingqing, who was still crying.
Xueya didn't even cry when she got married, let alone cried for Qin Xiaoxiao. She was holding a plate of melon seeds and crackling them in a lively manner.
Lin Qiuniang wiped the corners of her eyes, got up, went to the stove to fetch a basin of warm water, and asked Qin Xiaoxiao to wash her face: "If you don't want to cry, you won't cry, but you have to remember the words we told you."
These words are nothing more than that after she gets married, she will become an adult. When she comes to the princess mansion, she and Jing Heng will live a good life. She should be filial to her mother-in-law, the princess who protects the country, and should not be willful and petty.
"Yes, yes, I remember everything." Qin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, indicating that he would be obedient: "When brother Li's palace is repaired, I will take you over and show filial piety together."
Mrs. Miao and Lin Qiuniang both laughed, neither saying they were going nor saying not to go. My daughter and Xiao Jing had this intention, and they were already very satisfied. It was okay to stay for a few days in the past, but I am afraid they would not be as comfortable as at home if they stayed there for a long time.
On the other hand, Zhao Cao'er was extremely envious. He wanted to see the Princess Protector's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, and live in the houses where the nobles lived.
