Chapter 197: Lingxue's Big Wedding
Mrs. Dong finally arrived at the Ling Mansion. The servants in the mansion had been waiting for a long time, and the meeting was very busy. On that day, the Ling Mansion was bustling with excitement, and a grand welcome dinner was held for Ms. Dong. Many celebrities came uninvited and came with their
Coming to meet Mr. Dong with all kinds of gifts can be said to have crossed the threshold of Ling Mansion.
In the next few days, Ling Xin'an stayed with Mr. Dong at home. She went to the Qingliu River at night and learned that Mr. Ling's mother was visiting. They held dance performances that night, and did not behave too much. They even stood in front of Wangjiang River.
You can overlook the entire Jiangzhou night scene from the building.
Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang are preparing for Ling Xue's wedding. There are too many invitations sent out. The preparations started a month ago and will be held in four days.
After several days of playing, Ms. Dong also felt tired, so she rested at home, accompanied by her maid.
One of her personal maids was Meihua and Lvzhu. After the two maids came to Jiangzhou, they realized that their dull young master had become a big shot today. Also, the former little sister Lingshuang Lingxue had changed dramatically.
I don't understand what they are saying and doing now. Every big shopkeeper who sees them is respectful and does not give in at all because the other party is a woman. I once saw Ling Shuang and a big shopkeeper because of each other.
There was a quarrel, and later the big shopkeeper apologized repeatedly, but when they sat down they started talking and laughing again and continued what they had been doing before.
Meihua Cuizhu was puzzled as to why the third young master actually asked Ling Shuang to face such a thing. Ling Shuang seemed to have been used to such a scene for a long time. They were only deeply confused about this.
Everything in the Ling Mansion made them feel incredible. When they ate with their servants, they thought they were getting together. The food they ate was definitely not as good as those in the Ling Mansion in the capital, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a big cafeteria where everyone could help themselves.
With bowls and more than a dozen recipes, you can eat whatever you want and as much as you want. I heard the chef said this is for the buffet. This is to keep healthy and to control purchasing, so it is only for adults.
Only individuals can cook a small meal on their own, but adults don’t cook many dishes every day. Just follow the nutritional balance of meat and vegetables as adults say.
Meihua and Cuizhu, who were still a little arrogant at first, were suddenly washed away by something they had never seen before.
Jiangzhou City is really in a sea of joy these days. The flowing banquet in Wangjiang Tower is always full every day, and delicious food is served every time it arrives. Fortunately, the chefs in Wangjiang Tower have been facing this situation all year round.
work, so for them, although it is tiring, it is not a big problem.
The people of Jiangzhou left spontaneously, and most of them did not leave empty-handed. They carried various gifts in their hands and took their families with them. Those who came were guests, no one refused them, and even some local gangsters and the like came to have meals.
As long as there is no trouble, the guards will turn a blind eye until those people feel embarrassed and leave voluntarily.
It wasn't until the penultimate day before the wedding that Ling Shuang sisters and Xia Xiaoyu stopped handling business outside and were dragged by Gao Jie to try on the wedding dress. It was said that it was designed by Lord Ling, and Ling Xin'an also brought Jiang Tao to Ling Mansion. This kid
As the groom's official, he could only giggle, which made his grandfather and father Jiang Hui and Jiang Hai scold him for being ignorant.
Fortunately, most of Jiangjia Village has immigrated to Xincheng, and they are in the same area with the most luxurious merchants and court officials in Xincheng. In the eyes of the world, Lingxue's future husband is only known to be Ling Xin'an's business partner, a proper business home.
There is nothing wrong with joining forces.
In Jiangzhou City, there are not many other things, but many rich people. Although the Jiang family is not famous, everyone wants to know that someone who can get close to Master Ling is not a simple person. Some people went to find out about Jiang Tao's background and found that Jiang Tao
Jiacun used to build ships for generations, and many local merchant ships were purchased from them. Now they are still building ships, and they continue to build ships for the Jiangzhou City Chamber of Commerce. Especially in the past three years, Jiangzhou City has been in great need of large merchant ships, so Jiangzhou City has been building ships.
Jiacun can become a powerful merchant, and his rise is reasonable.
This was Ling Xin'an's arrangement for Jiangjiacun. He did not ask the entire Jiangjia village to build warships for him, which would definitely attract others' attention. Instead, he asked them to continue taking orders. Shipbuilding itself was closed and could not be seen by outsiders.
He knew how to build the ship. After the ship was built, when the day came for delivery, he could just go to the river to receive it, so no one would doubt it until now.
Jiang Hui was also all smiles during this time, and Jiang Tao's family was also very busy.
"Sir, is it true that we can't meet before the church?" Jiang Tao said.
"Nonsense! Why are you in a hurry? You can hold her in your arms and watch every day after you pass the door!" Ling Xin'an said.
Jiang Tao chuckled and said, "I'm impatient!"
"You're worthless, come with me to try on clothes now!" Ling Xin'an said.
"You still want to try on clothes?" Jiang Tao asked doubtfully.
"Are you going to wear your sailor suit on your wedding day?" Ling Xin'an stared at him and asked.
"No, my father has prepared a red groom's suit!" Jiang Tao said.
"One set is not enough, I have to try it!" Ling Xin'an dragged Jiang Tao to the clothing store.
The previous clothing store was burned down, and Gao Jie bought two more, so it opened again early. Watching Ling Xin'an and Jiang Tao come in, after everyone paid homage to Ling Xin'an, their eyes turned to Jiang Tao, the groom. Gao Jie looked at him, beautiful.
Their eyes were full of smiles, and so were the women. Suddenly, they all shouted in unison: "Greetings, uncle!"
After saying this, he burst into laughter, and Ling Xin'an almost burst out laughing, unable to help laughing.
Jiang Tao suddenly blushed, and the scar on his face felt like it was cracking.
"Uncle, gift!" All the girls stretched out their hands to ask for gifts.
Jiang Tao was stunned. He didn't expect that he had to bring a gift when he came to try on clothes. He touched his pocket and was stunned. The girls were not angry. Gao Jie joked: "I heard that my uncle's love gift for sister Xue'er was a pair of conches.
I also want."
"We all want it!" the other women said.
Jiang Tao looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "You are really making a lot of money. You kidnapped my girl with a pair of conchs. Alas!"
The girls giggled and stared at Jiang Tao, who had to say: "Sisters, I will definitely bring it to you in the future!"
The ladies let him go and began to put on his clothes. Soon when a new groom's suit came out, the ladies suddenly felt their eyes light up, their beautiful eyes were dazzling, and they sighed.
Jiang Tao is as tall as Ling Xin'an, but his body is much stronger than him. His bronze skin is full of masculine aura. Now that he is wearing the groom's uniform, he looks even more majestic.
"Yeah, not bad!" Ling Xin'an nodded. The girls were also looking at it like a nymphomaniac, and then tried a few more items. Each one had a different style, which made the girls drool and become ecstasy.
"I finally understand why you said that, sir!" Jiang Tao sighed. Compared to the groom's suit his family prepared for him, the one he is wearing now looks more festive and handsome.
In a blink of an eye, the wedding day has arrived. Because the Ling family is getting married, that is, leaving the court, Ling Xin'an is hosting a wedding banquet. But who is Master Ling and who is Ling Xue, so the wedding banquet is also very grand. Originally, leaving the court She was supposed to be getting married before noon, but there were too many invitations sent out, so she asked the Jiang Mansion to change it to the evening. Jiang Hui was naturally happy, and after praying to heaven and earth and the high hall, she went directly to the bridal chamber, while the Ling Mansion was going to hold a wedding ceremony There were too many people giving gifts to the banquet, so customers came in an endless stream early in the morning. Everyone in Jiangzhou City who had some respectability was invited. Those who were not invited directly stopped those who gave invitations, saying that they looked down on them. Seeing this, they had no choice but to add more invitations.
As a result, nearly two hundred tables of banquets filled up the Ling Mansion and the main street at the entrance. Ling Xin'an had to apologize one by one, because those on the main street could not see the scene, but those were small chambers of commerce, so why not It's easy to seize such an opportunity, so why bother.
Until nightfall, those big and well-known chambers of commerce kept appearing, and the voices of the reception boys at the door kept coming: "Qantong Chamber of Commerce: One thousand-year-old ginseng, one thousand-year-old goblin, one pair of the Queen Mother's bracelets, I wish Miss Lingxue and Mr. Jiang Tao a happy wedding. A happy marriage for a hundred years!"
"The North-South Chamber of Commerce has a portion of the Millennium Cordyceps, a portion of the finest ruby, and a portion of the Millennium Goblin. I sincerely wish Miss Ling Xue and Mr. Jiang Tao a long life together and the birth of a precious son soon!"
"A portion of Dasheng Chamber of Commerce's Millennium Lotus Seeds, a Spiritual Pill, and a Millennium Goblin. I wish Miss Lingxue and Master Jiang Tao good luck in their wedding, and they will work together!"
…
Countless people from the chamber of commerce appeared, but it was not until just before the auspicious moment that Ling Xin'an and her mother Dong appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the congratulators below, Ling Xin'an stood up and raised a glass and said: "Ling, thank you all for coming to attend the event despite your busy schedule. It’s my sister’s wedding and the reception was not good, so please bear with me!”
"Ling doesn't want to say more. I guess the groom has been waiting outside the door for a long time and is very anxious, so I don't want to waste his time." Ling Xin'an said with a smile.
Everyone laughed loudly, only to hear the master of ceremonies shout: "The auspicious time has come, and the groom has invited you!"
I saw the door slowly opening, revealing two sedans that had been waiting outside. After the master of ceremonies opened the door, he was lifted up and walked into the courtyard step by step, and slowly lowered back and forth.
"Please invite the groom to get off the sedan chair!" the master of ceremonies said.
I saw the front sedan lift the curtain, and Jiang Tao slowly walked out in the groom's suit. As soon as he came out, everyone present exclaimed, especially the male guests. They had never seen such a decent, elegant and slim groom's suit. .
The groom's suit designed by Ling Xin'an was based on the tuxedo on Earth. He knew that modern clothing on Earth could not appear in this world, but the tuxedo could be perfectly combined with the traditional costumes of the Zhou Dynasty. There was a white bottoming shirt inside, half The buttoned samurai jacket and tuxedo covered the navy trousers, red and black, simple and elegant, and paired with Jiang Tao's strong figure, it immediately made people feel handsome and amazing, and the female relatives were even more amazed when they saw it.
"A bride is invited!" After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, he saw behind the hall of Ling Mansion, a group of people wearing golden and red bridal clothes, wearing phoenix crowns, jade beads hanging curtains, faintly covering the bride's face, walking with jade lotus, and her graceful body He walked out slowly under this simple and exquisite, gorgeous and elegant golden light. Everyone was shocked when they saw the golden and phoenix crowns. Some even mistakenly thought that it would offend the Holy Power. After a closer look, it turned out that they were all It was made of gold, with hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and hundreds of beasts gathering together. It was so beautiful that it was dazzling for people to see. Only then did they feel relieved. And the bridal dress even made the female relatives present scream. They had never seen it before. It would be the biggest dream of my life to wear such beautiful women's clothes at my wedding.
With the support of Ling Shuang and Xia Xiaoyu, Ling Xue came to Mrs. Dong, slowly knelt down, and then kowtowed. Mrs. Dong was equally gorgeous today. She looked at Ling Xue kneeling on her and said lightly: "Marry as a woman.
You should teach your husband and your children, be filial to your parents-in-law, love your husband and wife, and live in harmony with your neighbors. You should not harm the family tradition!"
"Yes, my daughter will obey my godmother's teachings! Invite my godmother to dinner!" Ling Xue said.
Dong gently picked up a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of vegetables, then drank the tea handed over by Ling Xue, put down the tea cup, and took out a jade bracelet from her arms. It was ordinary, but it contained a hint of aura, and said: "
It’s a small thing, just accept it!”
"Thank you Goddess!" Ling Xue knelt down and said.
Then he came to Ling Xin'an, and Ling Xin'an said: "You and I, brother and sister, there is no need to kneel down!" He gently helped Ling Xue up, holding a golden heart-shaped necklace in his hand. Ling Xin'an opened it, and there were portraits of the two of them embedded in it.
: "I have nothing to give as a gift. You have built my fortune. Today you are getting married. I am both happy and sad for you. I can only wish you a loving husband and a long life together." After saying that, he gently gave the necklace to Ling.
Wear it in the snow.
"Thank you, Master!" Ling Xue said.
"Jiang Tao, get here here!" Ling Xin'an shouted.
Everyone laughed together, and saw Jiang Tao's face full of smiles, with only the shadow of Ling Xue in his eyes. Hearing the words, he immediately stepped forward.
Ling Xin'an looked at him, took Ling Xue's hand, and gently placed her hand in Jiang Tao's. This unique scene seemed novel and meaningful to everyone.
"I handed over Xue'er to you, don't let her down!" Ling Xin'an said.
"Don't worry, there will only be Xue'er in this life, no one else!" Jiang Tao said solemnly.
"The bride and groom pay their respects to the high hall!" the master of ceremonies said.
Jiang Tao and Xue'er came to Dong's house and bowed and bowed again! Dong also gave Jiang Tao a gift as a blessing.
After Jiang Tao Lingxue kowtowed, the master of ceremonies shouted: "New Year's toast to the groom!"
Jiang Tao raised his glass high, thanked all around, and said loudly: "Thank you all distinguished guests for taking the time to attend Jiang's wedding. Jiang took it to heart and prepared a few simple meals and light drinks. I apologize for the poor hospitality.
I’d also like to wish everyone all the best tonight, so I’ll do it first as a token of respect!” After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone also drank wine in return.
"The bride and groom get on the sedan and leave the pavilion!" the master of ceremonies shouted.
Jiang Tao helped Ling Xue sit on the sedan, but he did not. Instead, he stood next to the sedan, grinning, and shouted to all the congratulators: "Everyone, please excuse Jiang for taking my wife back home!"
Hahaha, if you don't mind, you are welcome to come to my humble residence for a few glasses of wedding wine, and Jiang will give you a warm reception. Brothers, go back home!" Everyone was happy, and some even whistled, blessing and joking. The wedding team got up and left the house in sedan chairs.
, firecrackers and fireworks all went off, the whole Jiangzhou City was bright and bright, and the wedding procession attracted endless cheers along the way, making it very lively.
After the team left Ling Mansion, the master of ceremonies shouted: "Let the banquet begin!"
Chapter completed!
