435 The Eve of the Wedding
While An Zi and Hong Wu and others were talking about Chen Fan, Chen Fan and Qin Feng were drinking in the yard. The home was set up and they were waiting for tomorrow to go to Lu Mansion to get married.
Chen Fan looked at the lights in the courtyard and said, "Oh, I'm a little drummer in my heart! You said, if she is at odds with Siniang, what shall I do?"
"Don't ask me about this. If it's good for others to say, after all, you are the head of the family. Who dares not listen to you when you speak, but Lu Qing'er is different. You should think about it slowly, I I can't figure out any ideas for you." Qin Feng finished speaking, then drank a little wine and ate the side dishes on the table.
Chen Fan looked at him, then followed him with another drink, and said, "Tomorrow, you will be the only one who welcomes guests at home. You know, I don’t have any extra people. You can greet you more. Special. It’s the senior officials invited by the Lu family, the heads of the sixth department, thinking that most of the people in the court will come, I have a headache, and I have to borrow a place from you to get married, alas!"
"If you don't tell me, I will do it too. I know if you guys come to you, I know. Other people go to me. Anyway, the two next door will not be delayed. As long as you come to toast, don’t worry. , You go to welcome your dear, there is me here, there will be no trouble, come, drink."
After the two drank another glass of wine, Qin Feng asked cheerfully: "We will welcome you tomorrow, are you really ready for a red horse?"
"That is, anyway, I have prepared the carriage. When she chooses it by herself, she is willing to ride a horse, and I will leave it to her." After speaking, Chen Fan had another drink with Qin Feng.
Lu Mansion, Lu Qing'er was also talking to her mother in the courtyard, except that she was talking about her maid. Lu Qing'er wanted her to marry her quickly instead of going to Chen's house with her dowry. This is a matter of course. Not much to say, now that her daughter can get married, she is already very satisfied, and she will definitely try her best to meet these requirements.
Genji shook his daughter's hand and said, "Well, I promise you about Bitao, and I will help her find a good relative. Now, let's talk about you."
"Mother, what can I say?"
Genji said in a huff: "You girl, what's the matter? When you were in time, you had specially arranged someone to teach you how to do it, but you turned a deaf ear. Today, Grandma Wang was driven out by you, and I let her Teach you well. It’s okay for you to drive people out. You will have a bridal chamber tomorrow. Some things must be taught to you. I can tell you that Chen Wei has a concubine. Although she has a humble background, she is present. The matchmaker in the first row of Xiangge, don’t be alone in the vacancy when the time comes. If that’s the case, you might as well not marry." New Bayi Chinese website first published https://https://
Genji then whispered again: "Qing'er, you are a daughter like you. You are not young anymore. Now you are about to get married, and you should learn to be a woman. Since you don't want outsiders to speak. , The mother will tell you, in fact, this is not difficult, Chen Fou already has a concubine, he knows how to do it, you just need..."
Lu Qing'er bit her red lips while listening to her mother's words, and her face slowly turned red. As a mother, Genji saw her daughter's expression, and she was relieved. After all, Lu Qing'er still had a daughter's home. The way it should be, which makes her very happy.
In Chongrenfang, in the attic of the back house of Princess Wan'an, Li Ruoyun lay in Nangongyi’s arms, stroking her unswollen abdomen and said: "Li Lang, why do my stomach grow so slow? Si Yan Ye It’s only two months longer than me, but she can see it."
Nangong Yi smiled slightly: "How long are you now? It's only more than two months. It will take six or seven months for your child to be born safely. When you really have a big belly, you think you will be smaller. Good. You can mention your travels to your Majesty at the beginning of the month. Also, when you say it, you must first ascertain your Majesty’s mood. If your Majesty has something to do, you must not mention it, so as not to be self-defeating. If you agree, you can prepare and wait until the end of the month before setting off."
Li Ruoyun nodded, and then asked: "Li Lang, where should we go to have fun?"
Nangong Yi said: "There are some chores during this period. I still need to stay in Beijing to deal with it. I will look for you in two months at night."
Seeing Li Ruoyun looking up at herself with frowning, Nangong Yi said again: "Don't think too much, I will follow you. You can go on a boat trip. When you arrive in Yangzhou, it will take almost two months. , Then you will be waiting for me in Yangzhou, and I will take you to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places to see. If you want to go to sea, I can also take you to the sea."
In fact, Li Ruoyun really wanted to go and see at sea. She had never been to sea. She didn't even know what the sea looked like. Then she said, "Well, I will wait for you in Yangzhou City. You can't be late. Come, I will take me to see the sea at that time. I really want to go boating on the sea."
Next, Nangong Yi asked: "Tomorrow Lu Qinger and Chen Fan will get married. I'm going to visit. Can you receive their invitation?"
"Although Chen Fan has nothing to do with me, Lu Qing'er has friendship with me, Li Lang, do you think I will go tomorrow?" When Li Ruoyun said this, she suddenly thought of something and looked up. To Nangong Yi, he asked, "Why do you ask each other like this? You know I will go!"
"I really don't know if you will receive an invitation. If you go, you will go with Xiao Qixue tomorrow. Last time Lu Qinger smashed Alang's shop, you should know about this, although Alang I didn't say anything, but Xiao Qixue was a little dissatisfied with this. You know, she sometimes has a childish temperament."
"Are you afraid that if she doesn't go tomorrow, she will cause dissatisfaction with others?"
Nangong Yi nodded and said: "Yes, A Lang is not here, she will handle these familial relations, and it will be helpful to A Lang and the Xiao family. No, it will be criticized, no matter what. How, she is still a member of the Xiao family."
"I see. I will go to her tomorrow and go with her. Don't worry about this, Li Lang."
At the next door to Li Mansion, Xiao Qixue was telling Zhiqiu to prepare tomorrow's gift, and she was sitting on a chair in the study with a lollipop and teasing the parrot.
Zhiqiu walked to the table with a box of pearls and said, "Madam, why do you want to give such a heavy gift?"
She really felt that the gift this time was a bit too heavy. Not only were there pearls, but also a pair of gold hundred and two and a pair of jade bi. If it was a Lu family man who got married, this gift was nothing but Chen Wei's wedding. According to his official position and contacts in the DPRK, let alone other things, fifty taels of gold is already considered a great gift.
"Do you think I want to give these to Lu Qing'er? It's not that Dad asked me to prepare more gifts and said that this is for my husband. I still don't understand. Anyway, you just need to prepare things. Remember. , Yubi, you take a pair of lower quality. Okay, I won't give Lu Qing'er, and I don't know what my husband thinks, so I didn't make the Lu family lose money."
Zhiqiu didn't ask any more, but went to prepare the box. As long as the gift is packed, the matter will be finished and it can be taken tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
