The imperial envoy is gone!
The little princess is gone too!
Tan Qingning has returned to Beijing to report on her duties, and all the adults and generals have left completely. Lantai County has been cleaned up a lot in one fell swoop. Nostrils upturned.
afternoon!
The alley of "Hundred Poisons Don't Invade" is full of gongs, drums and firecrackers. There is an endless stream of guests who come to the Zhao Mansion to express their congratulations. Everyone in the county knows that Zhao Guanren is going to be an official in the capital. It's the prince, and any fool understands what it means.
"Sit down, sit down! Everyone, sit inside..."
Zhao Guanren stood at the door to welcome the guests in person. At first, he thought that the courtyard of Bajin was really huge, but today it was extremely crowded. There were 20 tables inside and outside, but there was no room for them to sit. Invite your guests.
"Send all the congratulatory gifts to me, I am the housekeeper today..."
Song Chizhu set up an official platform at the door, and led the master and the master to receive the gifts in person. Before the arrival of the new magistrate, he had to continue to do the work of the magistrate, and now he has become the biggest in Lantai County. He looked even more shy than Zhao Guanren.
"Oh! The little lady is here..."
The crowd suddenly rushed out and cheered in unison, only to see two big red sedan chairs coming from the entrance of the alley. , followed by a lion dance team beating gongs and drums.
"Hmm~"
Zhao Guanren stood upright on the steps. He was also dressed in a bright red wedding dress today. He looked at the signboards in front of the sedan chair with satisfaction. They were all in gold letters on a red background. In front of the sedan chair is a - thank you!
The little lady is also called Mrs. Ru. To put it bluntly, she is a side room one level above the concubine. Although the official does not recognize this status and only recognizes the only wife in the family, it is a common convention among the people, and the neighbors will say that it is a husband and wife relationship.
"My lord! You are giving their family great face..."
Song Chizhu stood up and sighed repeatedly. The two families originally planned to enter the mansion as concubines, but Zhao Guanren gave them the status of partial concubines, and even used half of the betrothal gift and matchmaker to hire them. It has become dignified.
"Little madam gets off the sedan chair, and the groom leads in..."
The two bridesmaids yelled at the same time, the red carpet had already been laid in front of the gate, and after the sedan chairs landed in unison, the two dowry maids lifted the curtain of the sedan chair at the same time, and pulled out big red silk flowers from the hands of the two brides. He looked at Zhao Guanren.
"The evil old society, it's so fucking exciting..."
Zhao Guanren ran down the steps quite excitedly, but he could only lead one at a time. The Sixth Miss of the Bian family was naturally the first one, and she was gently led in by him with a red hijab on her head. A brazier had already been placed at the gate. , Yu Niang viciously poured a glass of alcohol.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Guanren was taken aback by the sudden flames. Who knew that Yuniang pinched her waist and said loudly, "Let her know how powerful she is. When you enter Zhao's house, you have to take good care of the master. If you dare to make trouble, someone will take care of her!"
"The slave family knows! The slave family will serve the master well and have children for the Zhao family..."
Bian Yulei bent her knees very gently. It turned out to be a bad feudal custom. The two vermilion mansion doors were only half opened, because Zhao Guanren's house did not have a small door.
"Master! You go in..."
Xi Po followed up and shouted loudly: "The smoke of the fire will be moved after every step, and the lotus will step into the hall, and the house will be full of gold and jade, and you will be the champion in the coming year!"
"
Be careful! don't burn the dress..."
Zhao Guanren led Bian Yulei across the brazier, and led her into the gate of his mansion. The guests were clapping and cheering enthusiastically, but Zhao Guanren ran out again, and there was the second Miss Xie Jia who was waiting patiently in the sedan chair. wait.
"Yingying! Come in..."
Zhao Guanren looked into the sedan chair curiously. In fact, he didn't know Second Miss Xie at all, but Second Miss Xie went crazy and forced her father to recommend herself. Xie's family could only bite the bullet and asked him if he wanted to marry A three-year-old girl.
"Young master! Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, every inch of blue hair is worrying about the new year, why the next sentence..."
The second lady sat in the sedan chair and couldn't get up. She was different from the bad third lady of the Xie family. She was a big girl with no love experience.
"Look at the moon and protect each other, only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals..."
Zhao Guanren smiled slightly, and the matchmaker took him to take a sneak peek. The second young lady is a literary house girl, obsessed with poetry all day long and never married, but she is petite and exquisite at 1.6 meters, with a dignified and beautiful face. In modern times, she is a little beauty with poor breasts .
"It's so good, I knew that the second half of the sentence is the essence..."
The second young lady got out of the sedan chair suddenly, grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "It's such a sentence that you only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. How could you compose such a wonderful poem? Your literary talent really makes the little girl admire you. The life with you is precious... "
"Second Miss! You are getting married, come in quickly..."
The dowry girl pushed her shyly, Zhao Guanren pulled her and smiled and said, "What's the hurry, we have a long life, but I'm not marrying a poet friend, so you have to wait on me in the bridal chamber at night, and solve the problem of the lower body. Have motivation!"
"The concubine is so abrupt, I am so excited to see the young master..."
Second Miss Xie lowered her head and followed him forward, and said shyly: "The bridal chamber... I don't understand, I can do whatever my husband asks me to do, but my literary talents are really average. I write poetry, okay?"
"Haha~ If you give me two more babies, my husband will definitely be a poet..."
Zhao Guanren led her across the brazier, and led the two brides into the main room together. The etiquette of marrying a wife is much less. Gaotang at home can’t come either.
"Eat and drink well, everyone, don't be polite to me..."
Zhao Guanren walked out of the main room to greet the guests. During the Dashun Dynasty, they married wives early and took concubines late. The sky was already getting dark, so everyone was naturally eating and drinking happily.
"You two ladies, you're entering the bridal chamber..."
The two brides led the brides into the inner house, and the two dowry maids also followed Yuniang, looking around with their belongings.
"Yu Niang!
Bian Yulei's maid asked, "This house is so small, why didn't the master buy a bigger one?"
"You are stupid!"
Yuniang was originally from Bian's family, and said with a smile: "Master will go to Beijing to be a high-ranking official next month, and we all have to go with him, but I didn't expect that you would be the dowry, Miss Six's personal girl ?”
"The matchmaker said that the master doesn't like fat girls, so I came instead..."
The little girl held him familiarly, and begged: "Yu Niang! We entered the house together. You have to take care of me at night. I didn't expect to marry as a dowry. I didn't learn from my aunt. If the master calls me Serving together, I don't even understand!"
"Does the Xie family understand? Are you innocent..."
Yu Niang looked at the other maid, who nodded quickly and said: "Innocence! You know how to beat a young dowry girl, and you just have to
I want to ask my sister, what taboos and preferences does the master have, my lady doesn't understand anything, so I have to serve you tonight! "
"Go into the room and tell you..."
Yu Niang led the two of them into the bedroom, the two brides had already retreated, and the two brides sat side by side on the big bed, covered with red hijabs and could only see the ground.
Bian Yulei said shyly: "Yu Niang! Do I want to have a bridal chamber with sister Xie?"
"It doesn't matter what I say, I have to listen to our master..."
Yuniang closed the door and said with a smile: "The third wife's room is the first one in the west wing, the fourth lady's room is in the second room, and the east wing room is Aunt Luo's. I live in the back room of the connecting room. Which lady will sleep and which girl will sleep?" The small couches are all from big families, so I don’t need to say more, right?”
"Who is the second lady? Why haven't I heard of it..."
Xie Yingying asked in surprise, and Yuniang said again: "The second lady hasn't passed the door yet. She is a fourth-rank official in the court, and the position must be reserved for her. Let our family members whisper something, and don't let it go outside. The room is likely to belong to the palace!"
"It's been spread a long time ago, little princess..."
The servant girl of the Bian family covered her mouth and smiled: "The master hugged the little princess and kissed on the boat, and people saw him, and he called him the master of the county in private, so no one dared to snatch the main house, but our own family Don't talk nonsense, we all know the rules!"
"Just know it, keep your mouth tight..."
Yu Niang smiled arrogantly: "You two ladies don't need to be nervous. The family rules of our Zhao family are to set rules outside the room. There are no rules in the room. You can do whatever you want in the bridal chamber. You two girls hurry up and wash your asses. Our master is not an ordinary person!"
"Hee hee~ I'll be a concubine when I'm pregnant, not a maid..."
The two dowry girls covered their mouths and sniggered, but just as Yuniang was about to speak, she suddenly heard the guests clapping and shouting: "Oh! The concubine is getting started, Mr. Zhao will be in a couple tonight, and four joys are coming! Haha Ha ha… "
"Four joys come to the door? Why is there one more..."
The two girls all looked at Yu Niang, and Yu Niang was also surprised: "I don't know, Han Ji sent a niece to be a concubine, and the master also specifically explained that he will not be with the two wives tonight. Remember why you gave me one more?"
"Ka~"
Yu Niang suddenly opened the window, and the two brides-to-be brought in two women from the back door. One of them was dressed similarly to the bride, also covered with a bright red silk hijab, and wore a dozen or so scarfs on her wrists. There are so many gold bracelets, it looks like Boss Han's dowry.
"Huh? I bought the latter one..."
The maids were all curious. The second concubine was dressed in a simple red cloth, with a red cloth covering her head and a bundle on her back, indicating that she came here on her own, and the cloth she wore indicated that she was a slave. .
"This is someone who does good deeds and doesn't leave a name. They don't tell me when they send a concubine. Hurry up and let me see it. If it doesn't look good, I have to return it..."
Zhao Guanren yelled loudly in the courtyard, already drunk a little bit, and Xi Po, like a display of goods, showed off the concubines in front of the guests, and then carried them to the door of the bridal chamber and put them down.
"Who is Shopkeeper Han's niece? Why did you give me an extra one..."
Yuniang opened the door and led the two concubines in. The jeweled concubine bowed her knees and said, "Sister! My sister is Han Baozhu from the Han family. I don't know the other sister, it was not a gift from our family!"
"Then who sent you, you didn't even plan to say hello..."
Yu Niang grabbed another concubine and pulled off her red hijab suddenly, but Yu Niang's face changed in shock, and the two dowry girls also covered their mouths and exclaimed at the same time.
