The low-key and gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate as soon as it arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion.
When Jiang Ningbao got out of the carriage, he saw a tall and straight figure standing at the gate of the mansion, his eyes flashed with joy, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chunxi and Chunle stand in place knowingly.
"Master, are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
Jiang Ningbao strolled over and happily took his arm.
Xu is that the wedding is approaching, Jiang Ningbao is quite fond of red clothes recently, and will wear red every time.
On this day, Jiang Ningbao was wearing a scarlet robe, with smiles on the brows and eyes, bright and lively eyes, like a dazzling pearl, bright and charming.
"En." Ding Guogong's eyes flashed a softness, and he stared at her intently. He hadn't seen her for a few days, but he missed her so much.
"Ningbao, I've confirmed what you asked about. Uncle and the others are indeed coming to the capital by water, and it is estimated that they will arrive in two days."
Jiang Ningbao was surprised.
"Great, I sent someone to tidy up a three-entry house a few days ago, just to accommodate uncle and the others."
Duke Ding nodded.
"My lord, I heard that the wedding dress has been embroidered. I can't wait to see how beautiful the wedding dress is. Let's go there quickly." After Jiang Ningbao was happy, his eyes were full of expectations, and he walked towards Ding Guogong's arm quickly. go forward.
It was the first time in two lifetimes to marry, and Jiang Ningbao attached great importance to it.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng had a very faint smile in his eyes, and walked steadily towards Rongxi Hall with Jiang Ningbao.
On the way, they met Xie Jingyi who was wearing a public uniform and a sword on his waist.
Xie Jingyi is the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, and it seems that he should be on an errand.
"Father, Fourth Miss Jiang." Xie Jingyi paused when he saw the two, and bowed his hands to them from afar.
Duke Dingguo nodded expressionlessly, and Jiang Ningbao smiled at him.
The male protagonist is still tall and handsome, with a cold temperament, but he seems to be calmer than before. Maybe he is about to get married and has a sense of responsibility.
Jiang Ningbao admired Xie Jingyi a little, this man actually ordered the people around him to change their mouths, and now the entire Dingguo Palace changed their mouths to call him young master, and no longer called Xie Jingyi the eldest son.
Meeting Xie Jingyi was just a small episode. Jiang Ningbao continued to walk towards Rongxi Hall with Ding Guogong on his arm. On the way, he met servants in twos and threes, and all the servants' faces were full of joy.
Steward Zhao looked at the two figures not far away with a face full of relief, thinking that in a few days, the Duke's Mansion would welcome another mistress, Steward Zhao was full of energy.
Dingguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Mrs. Xie is full of smiles, sitting on the red sandalwood openwork wooden chair with a radiant face, looking at the two suitcases from time to time, smiling from ear to ear.
Zhang Xiuniang and four servants were sitting below drinking tea and waiting.
As soon as Jiang Ningbao and Duke Ding came in, the intimacy and harmony between the two made Mrs. Xie's eyes shine, and she immediately beckoned Jiang Ningbao over.
"Ningbao girl, come to me."
These days, the two nuns had sent someone to inform her about the progress of the little girl of the Jiang family. They learned that the little girl was making rapid progress and that she had to go through all the rules of etiquette. Mrs. Xie was so proud.
This is her daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law is amazing, and Mrs. Xie has a bright face. When the little girl from the Jiang family gets married, she can safely hand over the entire Duke's mansion to her.
Jiang Ningbao let go of Ding Guogong's arm, walked to Mrs. Xie with small steps, snuggled up to her with a smile, and said affectionately: "Old lady, I miss you so much."
Mrs. Xie was all smiles, obviously very useful, looking at the little girl's bright and charming face, she teased: "It's been a few days since I saw you, girl Ningbao, do you miss me or Ah Heng?"
"I think, seeing each other every day is like three autumns." Jiang Ningbao pursed her lips and smiled, not at all coy.
"It seems that girl Ningbao misses A-Heng even more." Mrs. Xie joked, and glanced at her son with great interest, the corner of Duke Ding's mouth raised a small arc unconsciously.
Jiang Ningbao acquiesced with a smile.
Looking at the interaction between Mrs. Xie and Miss Jiang Si, Zhang Xiuniang smiled slightly, and couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
In just half a month, Miss Jiang Si's every move, every frown and smile was naturally elegant. It seemed that the two nuns had used their housekeeping skills to make Miss Jiang Si's temperament to a higher level.
"Girl Ningbao, the wedding dress has been embroidered, you can try it later to see if it fits well, and if there is anything you need to modify." Mrs. Xie said with a smile and the conversation started.
Jiang Ningbao nodded quickly, her eyes shining brightly.
Huang Nai on the side went to open two suitcases. One suitcase contained the groom's clothes, and the other contained the wedding dress. Jiang Ningbao's eyes fell on the bright red wedding dress.
She couldn't help but personally stepped forward to take out the red wedding gown. The red silk satin was as smooth as water, and it was embroidered with lifelike golden embroidered Yunxia and Di bird patterns. Peerless.
Different grades have different embroidery patterns on the wedding dress, but the wedding dress can be leapfrogged.
Jiang Ningbao was bestowed by the Holy Majesty to marry Chaopin Dingguo, but the phoenix pattern is exclusive to the royal family, so her wedding dress is embroidered with the Yipin Yunxia Zhai bird pattern, representing her noble status.
"Miss Jiang Si, are you satisfied with this wedding dress?" Zhang Xiuniang got up and walked to Jiang Ningbao, and asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, Zhang Xiuniang's craftsmanship is superb, the wedding dress is very beautiful, I like it very much, old lady, I will try to see if it fits." Jiang Ningbao touched the embroidered pattern on the wedding dress, his eyes were full of surprise, and the joy at the corners of his brows and eyes could not be concealed. live.
"Go." Mrs. Xie couldn't see that Jiang Ningbao couldn't wait, and waved with a smile to let Huang Momo lead her to the inner room to try on the wedding dress.
Jiang Ningbao smiled brightly at Duke Ding, and happily left the lobby with her wedding dress.
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's cold eyes flashed with anticipation and fire, he took his groom's clothes and went to another room, and came out in a while.
The groom's suit fits very well, softening his cold and hard temperament, and perfectly showing Ding Guogong's figure, making him even more handsome and majestic.
Mrs. Xie nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.
"It seems that the groom's suit should not need to be modified."
That's what it said, but the four conscientious and responsible servants still went to Ding Guogong's side and checked it carefully. It was indeed as Mrs. Xie said that there was no need to modify it, so they wiped off their sweat , backed out with a pale face and nodded with Zhang Xiuniang.
Zhang Xiuniang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Ningbao smiled, and Pingting came out gracefully. She was dressed in a bright red delicate wedding dress, making her look charming and charming.
Everyone in the lobby was shocked.
Mrs. Xie couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. The future daughter-in-law in the wedding dress was extremely beautiful, with a noble and elegant temperament, just like a graceful and luxurious peony.
"Heng, girl Ningbao is beautiful." Mrs. Xie looked back at her son who was also dressed in a bright red groom's attire, and couldn't help but tease her.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at the charming little girl, his gaze was hot, and he nodded solemnly.
"nice."
"The Duke is also very handsome."
Jiang Ningbao's eyes fell on the groom's clothes on Ding Guogong's body, he pursed his lips and smiled, and replied playfully, like a peony in full bloom, people couldn't take their eyes off it.
Mrs. Xie and Nanny Huang couldn't help laughing.
After Zhang Xiuniang checked the wedding dress, she found that the wedding dress fit her very well. She couldn't help smiling, and said to Mrs. Xie and Jiang Ningbao, "There is no need to change the wedding dress."
Jiang Ningbao happily thanked Zhang Xiuniang, went to exchange for the original scarlet skirt, and handed over the beautiful and delicate wedding dress to Nanny Huang to put it back in the suitcase.
Duke Ding also changed back to his original black brocade robe.
Zhang Xiuniang and the four servants returned to the palace after completing their missions. Mrs. Xie also waved them away. Duke Ding personally sent Jiang Ningbao to the gate of the mansion to watch her get into the carriage.
Chunxi and Chunle followed far behind, looking at the suitcase in the hands of the black-clothed guards from time to time, the smile on their faces lingering for a long time.
On the way back, Chunxi and Chunle kept saying this excitedly, which made Jiang Ningbao shake his head.
The wedding dress was embroidered, and the wedding was less than ten days away. Jiang Ningbao thought about going back and talking to her grandmother about adding makeup, so that her grandmother would not forget about it.
When a noble girl gets married, adding makeup is also one of the steps, which cannot be saved.
In the Dayue Dynasty, the day for adding makeup is generally chosen five days before the wedding.
All this requires preparation.
Yang Shuqing has been paying attention to Jiang Ningbao no matter how busy she is recently. When she learned that she had gone to Dingguo's mansion, she thought that Zhang Xiuniang was also in Dingguo's mansion, and her pretty face suddenly sank.
Jiang Ningbao's wedding dress is embroidered.
Thinking of the embroidered patterns on Jiang Ningbao's wedding gown, and thinking about the embroidered patterns on her own wedding gown, Yang Shuqing felt aggrieved, who wouldn't want to get married in the most beautiful wedding gown.
Xie Jingyi invited a master to come out to help her embroider her wedding dress, because Xie Jingyi was not the eldest son invited by Dingguo's mansion, and her official position was only the sixth rank, so her wedding dress could only be embroidered with fifth rank cloud and mandarin duck pattern.
In the previous life, Yang Shuqing married the King of Jin as a side concubine, and the prince's side concubine was of high class. Yang Shuqing's wedding dress was embroidered with the bird pattern, but in this life, it was only the pattern of mandarin ducks, with a huge gap.
Of course Yang Shuqing was not reconciled in her heart, thinking of her dignified eldest daughter of Marquis of Anyuan, living a new life, not only the grade of the wedding would drop, but also the standard of the wedding dress would drop.
Jiang Ningbao can still get married in style.
Yang Shuqing was depressed and irritable for a while, it would be great if Jing Yi was the legitimate son of Duke Dingguo.
Jiang Ningbao didn't know Yang Shuqing's reluctance, she put away her wedding dress as soon as she returned to Changning Bo's mansion, and after asking her grandmother when she would add makeup, she continued to learn from the two nuns.
As for the dowry, Uncle Changning's mansion was just as Jiang Ningbao had expected. Mrs. Jiang said that her dowry would not be prepared in the mansion, and the generous dowry left to her by her mother Yang was enough.
Jiang Ningbao is not dissatisfied, let alone unwilling or sad.
Her dowry list had already been prepared ten days ago. The 108 dowry gifts that Ding Guogong sent back then, excluding the eight that could be discarded, and the dowry that Jiang Ningbao bought later, made a total of 150. Much lift, well beyond spec.
Not only that, adding makeup has not been counted.
Jiang Ningbao had a bit of a headache. The dowry he bought was too generous, so Chunxi and Chunle had to pack all the dowry into a box, which barely became one hundred and twenty-four lifts.
Three days later, the day to add makeup came, and Changningbo Mansion was full of joy, with red silk hanging everywhere.
No matter whether it is a wealthy family in the capital or ordinary people in the city, the topics of discussion in the streets and alleys are always the same as Ding Guogong and Miss Jiang Si. Everyone speculates that Ding Guogong will definitely hold a grand wedding for Miss Jiang Si.
In this joyful atmosphere, Changning Bo's Mansion and Xie's Second Household suddenly sent a post about the change of the wedding date to all relatives, friends and families with whom they had contacts.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The cousins got married on the same day.
The news spread very quickly, and it spread throughout the entire capital in less than half a day. The people were in an uproar. It was not uncommon for sisters to get married at the same time, but Duke Ding's status was aloof, and his status was extremely high in the hearts of the people.
His wedding was much-anticipated.
The fiancée's natal family suddenly made such a move, and everyone felt that they were out of touch, and they felt extremely sympathetic to Miss Jiang Si.
After Yang Shuqing heard the news, she laughed so excitedly that she burst into tears. The actions of the eldest son of Changningbo Mansion really did not disappoint her.
Mrs. Jiang really favored the big family as rumored.
There will be a good show when I come to add makeup tomorrow.
