Chapter 207: Welcoming the bride
At dusk, the wedding team led by Lin Yun appeared outside the gate of the Qin Mansion with great fanfare. The four friends who accompanied the bride were Ning Heng, Ning Yue, Feng Ziying and Xue Pan.
The heavy courtyard door was closed tightly, and countless red envelopes were stuffed to push the door, but the courtyard door remained motionless.
All the servants in the Qin Mansion know that their uncle is not only rich but also generous.
Today is the day when the girl comes out of the palace, and it is also an opportunity for them to ask for the reward openly and honestly. After the girl gets married, the chances of my uncle coming to the Qin Mansion will be much less, so I must take this opportunity to kill my uncle once and for all.
Xue Pan waited impatiently, so he shouted and tried to break in by force.
Lin Yun quickly stopped him from messing around, and then asked Xiao Mo to take apart the dozens of coins he had prepared and throw them at the gate, and called the servants of the Qin Mansion to come out and grab the money.
This trick was indeed effective. When the servant hiding behind the door heard the shouting, he quickly opened the courtyard door and ran out to grab the copper coins on the ground. He successfully passed the first level.
…
The second level was set outside Qin Keqing's small courtyard. His brother-in-law Qin Zhong was guarding here with a few young men. When he saw Lin Yun bringing everyone over, Qin Zhong pointed to a copper coin hanging on the courtyard door and said to Lin Yun: "Sister-in-law." , Xi Niang said, one of you must shoot this copper coin from thirty steps away before you can enter."
When Ning Heng heard this, he said happily: "What's so difficult about this? It's up to me."
Feng Ziying: "It's better for me to shoot. You can't miss this arrow today, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Ning Heng said angrily: "Feng Ziying, how dare you underestimate me."
Feng Ziying said proudly: "I can shoot a copper coin from thirty steps away on horseback, can you do that?"
Ning Heng felt a little guilty when he heard this. He had never practiced shooting copper coins while riding a horse. But when faced with Feng Ziying's provocation, he refused to show weakness and said harshly: "Thirty steps is nothing. I can shoot from fifty steps away." Target."
Lin Yun was worried that the two scammers would quarrel here, so he hurriedly said: "Stop arguing, you two draw lots, and whoever catches it will shoot."
Ning Yue smiled and said: "Count me in, my archery accuracy is not bad."
Just when Xue Pan was about to sign up, Lin Yun said before him: "It's just the three of you who will draw lots."
The result of the lottery was that Ning Yue was very lucky and got the opportunity to shoot arrows.
Shooting a copper coin in thirty steps was more difficult for Lin Yun than climbing to the sky, but for these yamen who had trained in archery since childhood, it was an easier task.
Ning Yue lived up to her high expectations and hit the copper coin with an arrow from thirty steps away, winning the whole house.
Lin Yun took out another jade pendant that he had prepared long ago and gave it to his brother-in-law Qin Zhong, and then he was allowed to enter the small courtyard.
…
When everyone came upstairs, they saw two door gods standing outside Qin Keqing's boudoir, namely the maid Baozhu and Ruizhu.
Xiao Mo hurriedly stepped forward and handed the red envelopes he had prepared to the two girls.
Baozhu accepted the red envelope and smiled at Lin Yun without moving, "Uncle, it's time to recite the makeup poem."
Lin Yun turned to Lin Yue and smiled: "Ning Yue, you write poems well, I will leave this to you."
Just as Ning Yue was about to step forward, Ruizhu took a step forward and said, "Uncle, our girl said that you must recite this makeup poem yourself."
Lin Yun said anxiously: "Ruizhu, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Ruizhu smiled and said: "Uncle, this is a request made by the girl, and my servant can't help you."
Xue Pan shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, aren't you just reading a poem? You can write lyrics so well, so why is it so difficult to write a poem?"
Lin Yun cursed in his heart: "I copied it. I can write doggerel, but it's too embarrassing to read it out."
Feng Ziying: "Brother Lin, just recite an ancient poem and you'll be fine."
Bao Zhu said anxiously: "It must be written now, no cheating."
…
In the boudoir, Qin Keqing, who was wearing a wedding dress, pinched the hem of her skirt nervously and asked Lin Yun to read a makeup poem. It was Daiyu's idea to give her. She suspected that Lin Yun could compose poetry, but she couldn't find any evidence, so she asked Qin Keqing to read it. Taking advantage of Lin Yun's coming to welcome his bride today, he tested him.
Hearing that Lin Yun was being stumped by Ruizhu, Qin Keqing couldn't help but want Xi Niang to go out and rescue him.
At this moment, Lin Yun's voice reciting a poem came from outside, "The golden chariot is about to ride up to the east wind, and the clouds are cleared to see the drunken sky. I am alone in my fairy posture and half vomiting, and the ice porcelain dew is white and reddish."
Qin Keqing heard Lin Yun read out a poem, regardless of whether it was good or bad, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Outside the door, after Ning Yue listened, she immediately clapped her hands and praised: "What a poem! Brother Lin is such a talented poet."
The other three guys didn't understand poetry either. When they heard Ning Yue cheering, they also cheered.
Many of the servants following behind also cheered loudly. Ruizhu looked at the orb and said in her heart, "I can't understand even the poem. Does this count as passing the test?"
When she was in trouble, she saw the door of the room open, and Qin Keqing, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red hijab, was supported by Xiniang and walked out of the room.
At this moment, Qin Zhong, accompanied by the old housekeeper, came over to see his daughter off.
When Qin Keqing heard Lin Yun salute her father, she knew it was his father who was coming. She immediately lifted her hijab and threw herself into Qin Ye's arms, crying like pear blossoms and raindrops.
When several yamen saw Qin Keqing's appearance, they all secretly envied that Brother Lin had married a fairy-like beauty.
Qin Ye persuaded his daughter a few words, and then said to Lin Yun: "A good son-in-law, treat Ke Qing well and never let her down."
Lin Yun said hurriedly: "My father-in-law, please rest assured that my son-in-law will definitely live up to your honor in this life."
"Very well, it's getting late, you should leave quickly."
After Qin Ye finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
When Qin Keqing saw this, she burst into tears again.
Xi Niang quickly covered her with a red hijab and called Qin Zhong to come over and carry her sister out.
Lin Yun was startled when he heard this and asked Qin Zhong to carry Qin Keqing. Isn't that a joke? What would happen if he fell?
He hurriedly said to Xiniang: "Qin Zhong is too young, so I should carry it."
Xi Niang shook her head and said, "It's not in line with the etiquette, so I must bear it for you."
Lin Yun thought for a moment and then told Zhong Yi: "Go and ask them to bring the sedan in and wait downstairs."
"OK."
Just as Xi Niang was about to stop her, Xiao Mo quickly stepped forward, took out a few silver coins from his arms and put them into her hands. She immediately stopped talking.
Lin Yun was worried that Qin Zhong was at fault, so he personally followed Qin Keqing downstairs to protect him. Fortunately, there was no danger and he safely sent Qin Keqing into the sedan chair.
Before leaving the Qin Mansion, Lin Yun stopped Qin Zhong and told him: "You can go back and tell your father-in-law for me that if he is willing, you can move to Linyuan."
Qin Zhong shook his head and said: "This is not in line with etiquette, and my father will definitely not agree to it."
Lin Yun: "Just tell me to go over and ask me for advice. My father-in-law may agree."
Qin Zhong said hurriedly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Take care of your father-in-law, I'll leave first."
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he took the reins of the horse from Xiao Mo, turned over and got on the horse, shouting loudly: "Let's go."
…
After the welcoming team left, Qin Ye staggered out of the courtyard and stared in trance in the direction where the team disappeared.
Qin Zhong walked over and whispered: "Father, my sister-in-law asked me to tell you that he hopes we can live there in Linyuan."
Qin Ye frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qin Zhong plucked up the courage and said, "My sister-in-law also said that when I come over, he can help me with my homework."
Qin Ye's face softened slightly when he heard this and said: "You can go there often. It doesn't matter if you stay there for a few days. It's just a matter of being a father."
