Chapter 1244 Wedding (Part 1)

Qin Hanzhen spent the boring days before the wedding with the gossip about the suffering of the Prince of Shu sent by Zhao Mo, and soon her official wedding to Zhao Mo came.

The process of accepting the levy, that is, issuing the betrothal gift, had already been completed when Zhao Mo left the capital and went south. That was about a month before the wedding. The emperor personally invited two elders of the clan to be envoys to replace Zhao Mo. To send betrothal gifts to the Marquis Mansion in Yongjia, there was no need for the principal, Zhao Mo, to show up. Even the woman's side was received by Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Ping. The other principal, Qin Hanzhen, stayed in Yongjia. In the back house of the Hou Mansion, listening to the girls' reports and going through the whole process, I felt like I was missing some sense of reality.

The wedding day is on July 26th. By this time, the weather has cooled down a lot. It is no longer as hot, hot and rainy as before. It is a good time to hold a wedding.

Two days before July 26th, the Ministry of Rites issued the festival book for canonizing Qin Hanzhen as the princess of Suning County. The emperor once again sent envoys to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion to perform the canonization ceremony. The Yongjia Marquis Mansion set up an incense table and a book table in the front yard. Qin Hanzhen came forward to accept the invitation. The emperor also gave him a gift of a hair certificate and a makeup reminder. And because the emperor considered himself to be the eldest relative of the princess's natal family, he also received an extra makeup gift. The Queen Mother and the Crown Prince The princess and the princess also put on makeup, and a group of ladies in the harem headed by the royal concubine also joined in the fun.

As a result, Qin Hanzhen added three more boxes to his dowry. Cai Shengnan had to re-adjust the dowry box in annoyance, trying to put all the things prepared in advance. There was no way, Qin Hanzhen suffered a lot in the third room of the Qin family. She has been doting on her for many years, and her stepmother Cai Shengnan is a kind person and has never tampered with her dowry. The dowry she prepared was already generous. Qin's parents' bedroom and second bedroom also gave generous dowries, so the dowry was naturally even larger. .

In addition, there were things sent by the two aunts Lu and Su, as well as additions from my cousin Wu Shaoying and his wife who came from Jining; Uncle Wang Fuzhong from the Wang family in Mizhi County represented himself and his younger brother Wang Fulin, as well as Yu Cheng Two junior brothers, Zhi Zhi and Hu Kun, sent four generous gifts; Feng Yuting, who lives in the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, also expressed his approval with his sister; the Qin family's in-laws Cai family, Min family, Huang family, Yao family, Tang family The family is even more generous; even Duke Pei, who is still a filial piety, did not forget to show his presence and asked relatives and friends to bring a congratulatory gift. Although the second wife of the Xu family is not rich, he did not let himself lose to Duke Pei. Mansion, spent a lot of money to buy a set of twelve pieces of jasper head and face, and sent them directly to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, without ever passing through the hands of the Xu family of the Chengen Marquis Mansion.

With so many additions, the dowry originally prepared by the Yongjia Marquis Mansion for Qin Hanzhen was quite generous. It was not difficult at all to collect a total of 128 dowries. Instead, it had to be arranged more compactly to avoid exceeding one One hundred and twenty-eight is the amount. Qin Hanzhen herself doesn’t want to show off too much, so as not to get entangled by jealous people in the future, or cause outsiders to gossip. Unfortunately, sometimes even if she doesn’t want to show off, the size of her dowry It's also there, unable to keep a low profile at all.

The day before the wedding, people from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion sent the dowry to the newly renovated Suning County Prince's Mansion. Since the two families were located in the front and rear streets, very close to each other, Qin Bai and Qin Ping were not showy people, so the dowry delivery team He didn't take any detours, and just walked out of the gate of Yongjia Marquis Mansion honestly, then turned onto the west avenue, then turned into the second intersection, and went straight to the main entrance of Suning County Prince's Mansion. As a result, the first dowry went through the gate of the Prince's Mansion. At that time, two-thirds of the dowry procession at the back still had not left the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. Although it was a very low-key event, it attracted many people to come and watch, and everyone was filled with admiration.

Some people recalled the size of the dowry when the Chengen Marquis married their eldest granddaughter, and felt that although the two Marquises were of the same family, the third family member seemed to have stronger financial resources than the eldest family member who had been in the spotlight for a long time.

How about that? Otherwise, if they were both the eldest granddaughters and got married in the same year, why would the dowry of the third girl seem to be larger than that of the second girl?

Someone with good intentions came to Yao to talk about this matter. Although Yao felt a little sour in his heart, he did not express his complaints as those people wanted. He just said with a smile: "The third room has always been

I love this granddaughter the most, and she is marrying into the royal palace. If I am not generous enough, wouldn’t it be a joke to the nobles in the clan? Where is this? Our three uncles and three aunts are not people who like to show off!

Otherwise, how can the dowry of the third girl only be this much?" Those who deliberately provoked themselves were asking for trouble and had no choice but to leave in despair.

Mrs. Yao has always scorned such people. Doesn't she know that the third wife's granddaughter's marriage has surpassed her precious daughter? But what can she do? Now the third wife is richer than the eldest brother, and she is willing to do it for her.

The eldest brother supports her. Although she feels a little aggrieved for her daughter, she still has to think about her son. It can be said that her son's good marriage is also a blessing to her third brother. If her son wants to pass the Jinshi examination in the future, his third uncle Qin Bai's guidance is indispensable.

. She is not a white-eyed wolf. How can she get into trouble with the third wife just for a little dowry and a few gossips from outsiders? She is not a fool!

Even the Yao family thought so, and it was even less likely that other relatives and friends would say anything sarcastic. Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun both rushed to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion to keep Qin Hanzhen company. They only admired and admired her generous dowry, but they did not express their admiration for her.

Jealousy.

But Qin Jinhua couldn't help but think of her cousin Qin Jinyi: "She once tried to send the girl to find me privately, but she couldn't tell what she wanted me to do for her. She only said that she wanted me to visit her and help her with her natal family.

People or something. I thought to myself, Mrs. Pei Guogong, Uncle Pei and Grandma Pei are all elders, what can I do to beat them? And Duke Pei’s house is observing filial piety, how can I come and disturb them when I have nothing to do? My mother-in-law will not allow it.

The eldest sister didn’t say what kind of grievances she suffered from her husband’s family. I couldn’t help even if I wanted to, so I had to give her girl a little money and a few bags of supplements. After that, she didn’t send anyone over again, nor did she.

I knew if she was angry with me, but I couldn't go to her home and ask, so I felt sad for a while."

Qin Jinchun hurriedly said: "Second sister, don't pay attention to her! She is now very quarrelsome with her husband's family. Her husband's family gets along quite harmoniously with us. It's just that she doesn't understand some of her words and deeds. If she wants to correct her, then

They punished her by copying "Female Training", "Female Commandments" and so on, and also set rules for her. She felt aggrieved and felt that she was the queen's niece and should not be treated like this, so she wanted to use jewelry to buy off the waiters around her.

She was a man who plotted against her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law found out and was scolded. The Pei family raised her well and did not treat her badly, but she naturally refused to accept her treatment.

Their own families are scheming, why should we get involved? My eldest sister doesn’t care, so there’s no need to cause trouble!”

Qin Jinhua suddenly realized: "So that's it! Then I really shouldn't get involved. It's my eldest sister's fault for this kind of thing." She sighed, "Actually, I just saw the third sister's ten-mile red makeup today, and thought of the eldest sister's most beautiful past.

She values ​​these things, and if she knew about the status of her third sister’s marriage, she might not feel so comfortable.”

Qin Jinchun said: "She feels uncomfortable when she sees anyone getting married. She has been the eldest sister for a long time, and she can't bear to see any of the sisters below her go beyond her. But she found this marriage herself, and it's...

Among those who got married in a hurry, who would not be more glorious than her? Instead of being jealous of others, she might as well just blame herself!"

Qin Jinhua sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked Qin Jinchun: "How is uncle's injury now? Can he come to the third sister's wedding banquet?"

Qin Jinchun couldn't help but look ashamed, and said to Qin Hanzhen: "Third sister, I'm sorry, I'm afraid only my mother, me, and brother Xun can come to your wedding. My father... his injury is not fully healed yet."

, insisted on not showing up. Although the injury on his foot was no longer serious and he walked slower, he was no different from ordinary people.

The injury on his wrist has not healed yet. He can't even pick up chopsticks. He is taking medicine and cannot drink. My father was worried that someone would discover the injury at the wedding banquet, so he could only excuse himself because he had an injury on his foot. I know.

This is very rude, but my father has made up his mind, and I can’t say anything more. I can only apologize to you here.”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the eldest uncle can't come, I have thought of it a long time ago. The eldest uncle is seriously injured, so what's a big deal about a wedding banquet? I'll have someone send a table to the eldest uncle and ask him to

I can enjoy it at home, but I won’t send any wine to avoid conflict with the medicine he takes.”

Qin Jinchun said hurriedly: "There is really no need to be so polite. My father is taking medicine now and has many taboos. My third sister sent us a banquet, but he can't eat many dishes. He is really unlucky."

Qin Hanzhen was just being polite, meaning that since Qin Jinchun said so, she didn't insist anymore. It depends on Qin Ping and Cai Shengnan whether they want to send a banquet or not. In fact, deep down in her heart,

She was very happy that Qin Bofu would not attend her wedding banquet. She didn't have much fondness for this uncle. If he couldn't attend, she could still keep a blind eye.

Qin Jinhua added: "Speaking of which, my grandmother is not in good health, and I'm afraid she won't be able to attend the third sister's wedding banquet... Although the third uncle's grandmother and the fourth aunt will definitely send her a table, she can't attend.

It's a pity. My grandmother started feeling depressed about this matter two days ago, and my brother tried to comfort her for a long time, but he couldn't make her happy. When my brother told me about this matter, I felt quite uncomfortable."

Qin Han really thought that it would be nice if Mrs.

They will definitely come. What if Mrs. Xu entangles the Lu family and her son again to discuss Lu Chuliang's marriage? It would be better for her not to show her face.

However, in front of Qin Jinhua, a naive young man, Qin Hanzhen certainly couldn't say that. He just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my great-uncle and grandma's health is important. When she recovers, I will host her alone."

It's time for the old man to have a feast." He prevaricated again.

While they were talking, both Cai Yuanzhen and Lu Yueniang arrived, and several Qin Hanzhen sisters hurriedly welcomed them out. When everyone met, there was another round of pleasantries and reminiscing about old times. In the blink of an eye, no one mentioned the two elders who could not attend the wedding banquet.
