Time flies and quietly enters June. June is the day when Mingrui is getting married. Mingrui's yard has been renovated and Mingrui has been living in Mingjia's yard recently.
As the day drew near in the Zhouhou Mansion, every master was happy about having another addition to the family.
As Mingrui is getting married soon, he rarely goes out and stays in the Marquis' Mansion all day.
Zhao was most concerned about her son, and secretly told her mother-in-law, "Mingrui secretly went to repair the yard by himself, and stayed there for a long time."
"This means you know you're getting married. If it's soon, you'll be a grandmother next year, and you and Changyi won't have to covet the old man's two grandchildren."
When Zhao thought of Routuanzi calling her grandma, her heart melted, "We don't require it to be a boy, it can be a girl or a boy."
Their second branch doesn't have such heavy responsibilities, so they can just take it slow. It's good to bloom first and then bear fruit.
Zhulan believed Zhao's words, "It's rare for Yudie and the others to go out today."
"They want to choose a gift for the new sister-in-law, but they don't know what gift to prepare. They are so secretive."
"We'll know when the time comes."
Lin Qing is more popular among the sisters-in-law than Liu Jia, and even Yu Wen rarely takes the initiative to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
In the Beijing Embroidery Building, Yudie came to pick up the gift she had ordered. "My sister-in-law's embroidery is very good. I drew the picture myself. Take a look at it. It means a happy marriage. The finished product is good, isn't it?"
Yuyi and the others didn't even touch it, as it was a double-sided embroidered screen, and they were all amazed by it.
Yujiao exclaimed, "This painting is definitely the best work of Third Sister."
Yudie coughed twice. She had wasted a lot of drawing paper before she finished it, and she felt a little proud of herself.
Yu Wen noticed the wood used for the screen and raised her eyebrows, "Third sister is bleeding heavily."
Yuyi asked, "How much silver did it cost?"
Yudie stretched out her hand and said, "No more, no less, five hundred taels."
Yu Yi and several others, "... "
He is indeed the one who can spend money in the family.
After the screen was packed up, someone was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, and then they went to pick up the gifts prepared by Yuyi and others. Yuyi and Yujiao were together, and the gifts they prepared were quite conventional, implying the early birth of a son.
The last one was Yuwen. Yuwen was preparing jade carvings. When they arrived at the jade shop, the owner was entertaining guests, so Yudie and the others had to wait.
The sisters were looking around casually in the shop. Influenced by their grandmother, they liked jade carvings with zodiac attributes very much and their eyes were all on the zodiac.
The shopkeeper came down from upstairs quickly. The sisters all knew this distinguished guest, the prince. They had all seen him before. They saw the prince actually coming down personally holding a box.
Yudie and the others saw that the prince was in casual clothes and there were other customers in the shop, so they didn't need to greet him.
The prince was also surprised to see Miss Zhou, and several ladies together. It was really rare. He nodded and left the shop.
The prince got on the carriage and touched the box in his hand. This was a gift for his mother. Thinking of his mother's health condition, the prince's heart became heavier. His mother had been ill recently, but the palace kept it a secret and no news was leaked out. Even his maternal grandparents did not know about his mother's condition.
The prince looked through the window at the shop and happened to see the fifth young lady of the Zhou family. She smiled as she heard what the shopkeeper said. Even though this young lady Zhou pretended to be good outside, he knew that she didn't like to go out. It was rare to see her outside.
Time flies and it is Mingrui's wedding day. Today is the day for the Marquis's Mansion to have a new member, and the whole family is in high spirits. The Marquis's Mansion is decorated with lights and red hangings everywhere. When the time comes, Mingrui is urged to go and welcome the bride.
Zhulan laughed, "Look, you are more anxious than Mingrui, the groom."
Zhao smiled and said, "We have to be anxious. Today is the day when our family will have a new member."
Changyi was also happy. His son had started a family, and the feeling of having another member of the family was different.
The Zhou family was happy, but the Lin family was sad. Lin Qing was a favored person at home, and the elders were reluctant to let her go. The Lin family also had many people, and Mingrui spent a lot of effort and money to pick her up.
When he finally got the call from his wife, Mingrui was stunned and his ears couldn't help but turn red. The sharp-eyed brother-in-law of the Lin family noticed this and burst into laughter.
Lord Lin was satisfied with his son-in-law and said, "Treat my daughter well in the future."
Mingrui said seriously, "I will never let you down."
Lord Lin may not believe Mingrui's words, but he believes in the rules of Zhou Hou's Mansion. Those who are already married are good examples. They don't have concubines and they live in harmony. His daughter is blessed.
Mingrui took the bride back to the Marquis' Mansion. Lin Qing was nervous when she got off the sedan chair. After getting off the sedan chair and entering the Marquis' Mansion, she became the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion, and she would spend the rest of her life with Mingrui.
Mingrui stretched out his hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lin Qing smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand and placed it on Mingrui's hand. Even though she heard people saying that the groom was anxious, she still decisively held Mingrui's big hand tightly.
Mingrui's heart moved, and he held her hand back tightly, ignoring the booing voices around him.
Although Mingrui wanted to hold his wife's hand and enter the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't. After they reached the top of the stairs, they let go of her hand. Lin Qing was no longer nervous because she had someone she felt at ease with by his side.
The Marquis’ Mansion is bigger than the Lin Mansion, and going through the process of worshipping heaven and earth is quite tiring.
Mingrui sent Xinnianzi back to his new home. Yudie and the others had been waiting for him. Ran Wan smiled and said, "Mingrui, go to the front. My sister-in-law will take care of you here. Don't worry."
Mingrui greeted with sincerity, "Thank you for troubling my sister-in-law."
Yudie laughed, "Brother really loves his sister-in-law."
Mingrui raised his hand and tapped the girl on the forehead, then left.
The front yard was even more lively. Mingrui was stopped by Shangguan Liu. "Groom, see, the wine on the table is all prepared for you."
Mingrui, "Oh, what did I ask you to do?"
Shangguan Liu smiled and said, "He's here to get me drunk."
Ming Rui laughed angrily, "Very good, you wait for me."
Shangguan was not afraid. When he got married, there would be many people who would refuse to drink. "Please go in, groom."
Fortunately, Minghui and others protected him and helped to block a lot of alcohol. In the end, Mingrui returned to the bridal chamber relatively sober.
The next day, Zhulan got up very early and Zhou Shuren did not go to the morning court. The two of them had breakfast early and waited for the newlyweds to come and serve tea.
Changyi and his wife came over quickly. Before they could talk for a while, the family members arrived one after another.
When Mingrui and Lin Qing came in, they saw a room full of elders. Mingrui was thick-skinned and didn't react much, but Lin Qing blushed.
The tea ceremony went smoothly. The elders gave many gifts, especially the most generous gifts from the mother-in-law, Zhao, who had the best treasures in the bottom of the box. It can be seen how satisfied Zhao was with Lin Qing.
Lin Qing felt a little uneasy after leaving the main courtyard, "What my mother gave me is too expensive."
Mingrui held his wife's hand and said, "Just accept what your mother gave you. It's okay. Just rest assured."
Lin Qing nodded, "Yeah."
Mingrui held his wife's hand and was unwilling to let go. He discovered yesterday that he liked holding his wife's hand and didn't care if the maids and old women saw him and smiled at him.
Lin Qing felt dizzy and embarrassed at first, but now she feels sweet.
