Chapter 1101 Flowers and Candles
Wu Shaoying's wedding was originally intended to be low-key, but unexpectedly, on the auspicious day, it became extremely lively and sensational.
Huang Qingfang had a troubled marriage in her early years, and her reputation was tarnished by her treacherous fiancé and the wife she later married, Wang's family and granddaughter. Then she evaded the capital for several years, and has yet to talk about getting married. Now she is an old girl in her twenties.
She has decided to marry a small official from a small family in a border town. Although it is her first marriage, among the high-ranking families in the capital who had intended to marry her as a step-in-law, who would not gossip about her? They were of the same age and in the same circle as her, but they were not as talented and beautiful as her.
Outstanding ladies often make sarcastic remarks after they get married. It seems that although they are not very prominent in marriage, they are still better than Huang Qingfang. No matter how talented and beautiful Huang Qingfang is, she is not as blessed as them, and so on.
But Huang Qingfang was married after all. Although she was married to a junior official from a poor family, this junior official had been promoted from the fifth rank. His sect was prominent, and he also had the emperor's close disciples from the same sect. In the court, he relied on him both in civil and military matters.
The teacher's family was deeply favored by the emperor and the prince. He himself was a formal imperial examination student, with two Jinshi rankings. He had performed well in Jinling before and was impeccable in terms of ability, talent and temperament. Such an official, even if he comes from a poor family background
What does it matter? His future will definitely be prosperous and smooth. As for his age, he is indeed a bit old, and he is still married for the first time, but compared to other officials from the fifth grade, he is actually considered young. Considering
He was already twenty-six or seventeen years old when he passed the Jinshi examination. Compared with many people of the same age, he was already promoted faster.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't Wu Shaoying be an excellent marriage partner? Wouldn't it be better for Huang Qingfang to marry him than to marry those high-ranking children in Beijing who can only rely on their elders and never know whether they can be promoted to a fourth-rank official all their lives?
Too much? It’s hard to say that in ten or eight years, she will be the wife of a serious high-ranking official. In the past, all her friends would rush to apologize and flatter her. For Huang Qingfang, this marriage was unworthy of her.
?The Huang family has been choosing such a son-in-law for their daughter for so many years. They are so smart!
The attitude towards Huang Qingfang's marriage in the circle of powerful officials in the capital changed immediately. Everyone said that she married well and that the Huang family had good taste in choosing a son-in-law. If the son-in-law is older, what does it matter if his official position is lower? Older age
The point is that it is a first marriage, which is better than filling a house for others and being a ready-made stepmother; it doesn't matter if the official position is low, who doesn't start from a low position? With Wu Shaoying's background and teacher, she will never be bad in the future.
The Huang family originally only had influence in the military, but through this son-in-law, they were directly connected with the civil service circle. Not only did they make friends with Wang Shizhong, who was used by the emperor, but they also used the Qin family as a link to further strengthen their ties with the Eastern Palace. In this way
Which company in Beijing can match the benefits?
In the past, outsiders didn’t pay much attention to a person like Wu Shaoying. Now that they knew about it, they naturally wanted to show their kindness. Unfortunately, he had already accepted a foreign appointment and was about to leave for the post after his marriage. Everyone had to take advantage of the opportunity of his marriage to find someone.
With all kinds of excuses, I came here to give him a bunch of congratulatory gifts first, so that he could remember his name.
Therefore, the Yongjia Marquis Mansion sent Zhou Xiangnian to help the Wu family's steward to entertain the guests at the wedding. Qin Hanzhen also sent Li Zi to help with the courtesy exchanges. Li Zi took the time to give Qin Hanzhen a message, saying that it was
I was reluctant to accept the gifts. There were many people who had never heard of any contact with Wu Shaoying, but I didn’t know if they were familiar with the Huang family. Because I was afraid of being rude, I basically accepted all the gifts, and they didn’t look too excessive.
, there should be nothing wrong, but Qin Hanzhen still took advantage of it and said hello to his cousin Wu Shaoying, asking him to pay attention.
Wu Shaoying knew it well. He knew that he was about to go to work abroad, so he made a little publicity. His wife Huang Qingfang had been gossiped a lot in the past few years. At least he wanted her to marry in a glamorous manner, and also to beat up some people who did not cultivate their moral integrity.
His face may attract the attention of many people, but after all, the official rank is limited. Even if others want to win over and make friends, they will not go too far in the first trial. When he leaves the capital and comes back after a few years,
How many people still remember him? This will not bring trouble to the teacher and senior brothers, and it is harmless, but it will be a great thing for the Yue family.
Wu Shaoying asked the housekeeper at home to collect all the gift lists. If anyone sent expensive gifts, he would also make a note of them. He would make a special trip to express his gratitude before going abroad to take up his post. Then he would test them again. If they were not worthy of friendship, they would
, there will be no need to interact with each other in the future. But if it is worth making friends, it is time for him to expand his network. He can't rely on his teacher and the Yue family for everything, right?
The wedding banquet was also very lively. Originally it was only planned to have ten tables, but in the end there were twenty tables, so crowded that even the tables were placed under the verandah in the new house. However, Qin Hanzhen responded in time and lent Yongjia Hou
The chefs of both the Mansion and Chengenhou Mansion provided high-quality dishes and drinks, and the guests were full of praises. While enjoying the meal, they said many auspicious words of congratulations, and even praised Wu Shaoying. Finally, they left happily.
The wedding banquet was a success, but the servants of the Wu family and the Yongjia Marquis Mansion were a little tired.
When clearing the remnant table, several members of the Huang family's dowry family took the initiative to take over the work and said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters-in-law have worked hard just now. We eat and drink well. Seeing my brothers and sisters-in-law working hard, I feel really bad."
Now we are a family. We don’t talk about two things. My brothers and sisters-in-law can rest for now. The rest of the work will be left to us. I guarantee that it will be done neatly and will satisfy my aunt and uncle."
The servants of the Wu family wanted to decline politely, but it was Li Zi who smoothed things over, saying that the newcomers also wanted to show off, so that they could take advantage of this festive day to get rewards. We have already received enough rewards, and it is time to enjoy them.
Now that I have my share of food and wine, I should also give the newcomers a chance.
People on both sides laughed, patted Li Zi on the shoulder one by one, and dispersed happily. Those on the Wu family went to rest and eat, while those on the Huang family hurriedly packed up their things. They accompanied their aunt
Before going out, the masters, wives and young men of the Huang family all gave instructions. If they dared to rely on the Huang family's origin, neglect the Wu family's aunt, and bully the Wu family's servants, they should get out of here! The Huang family cannot raise such a person.
Idiots with no rules! How dare they? My aunt seems to have a good temper, but she is not a naughty one. If you don’t abide by her rules, she will just hang you up. How can you still live a good life?
The servants of the Wu family were low-key and honest, and the attendants of the Huang family were well-informed and knowledgeable. They quickly integrated into each other and got along well. Li Zi retired after his success and hurried to meet up with his master Qin Hanzhen, who was the last to leave, and put the situation into perspective.
After saying this, Qin Hanzhen felt relieved and hurriedly told his grandfather Qin Bai and his grandmother Niu Shi.
Qin Bai smiled and nodded: "The Huang family has a strict upbringing and a good family tradition. Shaoying's wife's wife naturally knows the rules." Niu said to Buddha straightly: "That's good. They will live a good life in the future, more than anything else."
Strong. As elders, we can feel at ease!"
Qin Hanzhen smiled and held Niu's arm: "Grandma, let's go then? Don't disturb my cousin and aunt." They were going to celebrate their wedding night.
Qin Bai then asked his son Qin Ping: "Where is Shaoying? He was drunk before, is he feeling better now?"
Qin Ping never stopped smiling tonight: "I said I drank the hangover soup, so I must have gotten better. But there were so many people trying to persuade me to drink tonight. I was afraid that he would come out again and get drunk again, so I simply
Let him hide. He must be in the new house at the moment."
Qin An asked from the side: "Shall I go have someone call Shaoying over?"
Mr. Niu hurriedly said: "Stop shouting! We are not outsiders. Let's go now. We have to go home to recognize our relatives tomorrow. What's there to say?"
Qin Bai nodded, so the Qin family went out without saying hello to the groom, got in the car and left. Zhao Mo, on the other hand, although he drank a lot, did not leave early and was waiting at the door with his horse.
Outside, I am preparing to escort the Qin family for a ride.
When Qin Hanzhen got into the car, she looked at him from a distance of about ten feet. Seeing that his cheeks were red, she couldn't help but glare at him, then she pursed her lips and smiled, and then she lowered her head and got into the car.
Zhao Mo touched his face, only to feel that it was still hot, and he felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to show off today and helped Wu Shaoying block a lot of wine. He drank a little too much. Even though he had already eaten hangover soup, his face was still
The temperature still can't come down. But it's just this once, so it doesn't matter. He's not liked by Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying. It's a rare opportunity, so of course he has to please the two elders.
Qin Ping came over, looked at him, his eyes became much gentler: "You drank a lot, didn't you? We are all on the same street, why do you need to take me to this place? Go home and rest quickly. I will recognize you tomorrow.
Don’t you come over?”
How could he not come? He also called Wu Shaoying his cousin. He obediently answered in front of Qin Ping, but still sent the Qin family to the gate of Yongjia Marquis Mansion, then turned into the alley and went home through the back door.
When Wu Shaoying received the letter, he only saw the rear of the Qin family's carriage, and felt a little embarrassed. Li Zi was the last, and comforted him: "Master Hou said, let Master Wu have a good wedding night, tomorrow."
Remember to come home and recognize your relatives. You are not an outsider, so don’t pay attention to the red tape."
Wu Shaoying smiled, agreed, gave Li Zi a red envelope, and sent him away. He walked around the front yard of his home and saw that everyone was performing their duties and getting along harmoniously, so he returned to his new house with peace of mind.
Huang Qingfang had simply washed herself and changed into red clothes. She was sitting in front of the bed, as elegant and charming as a delicate flower shining in the water.
Wu Shaoying paused for a moment, feeling her heart filled with tenderness. She picked up a pair of wine glasses on the table, filled them with wine, and walked over slowly.
Huang Qingfang calmly took the wine glass, sat opposite him on the edge of the bed, and looked at each other.
Wu Shaoying said in a low voice: "I... I am not worthy of you first, so I am truly lucky to have you as my wife. Don't worry, I will never let you down in this life!"
Huang Qingfang raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said softly: "Husband, don't say anything about whether you are worthy or not. You have a past, I know it, and I will not let you forget it. I also have the pain in the past, how can I forget it easily? But we can mutually
Be considerate, support each other, work together, and grow old together. I know you won't let me down."
Wu Shaoying and Huang Qingfang smiled at each other and drank a glass of wine together.
