Chapter 140 The Wedding Banquet (Part 2)
Chapter 140 Pink Ticket at the Wedding Banquet 144o
People are always more accepting of people of the same class as themselves.
Mrs. Huang's words were all prodigal, which made Lin Da Nai immediately become close to Eleven Niang. She asked her what pastimes she usually had at home and whether she liked listening to operas. She thought it was Geng Changsheng from the Changsheng Class who sang better or the Jiexiang Club.
Bai Xixiang sang well and Grandma Huang San was there to join in the fun. The three of them laughed and talked very affectionately.
The Madam who was walking in front took the opportunity to look back and discussed with Madam Huang the difference between Shandong people marrying girls and those from Yanjing.
The dining place is a small flower hall with five or six tables. Only two women are sitting on the east side. One is in his fifties, wearing an agarwood-colored coat with gold sleeves and a black coat with ten kinds of brocade makeup.
Her hair was combed into a bun, and she only wore a red gold Guanyin to distract her. Her expression was very stern. A man in his forties wore a sapphire blue peony jacket with gold sleeves and flowers all over the floor. He had a peony hair comb and wore a red gold title.
Wearing a beaded hairpin, a ruby ring, and a cautious smile. There was also a woman wearing a bright red silk skirt with gold branches, green leaves, and hundreds of flowers accompanying them. She looked like she was only in her early twenties, and her appearance was very ordinary.
But there is a hint of arrogance, giving people the feeling that they are not easy to get along with.
Mrs. Lin immediately whispered: Did you see the one wearing the bright red embroidered heddle skirt? The third young lady of the Tang family, Mrs. Yang.
Eleven Niang was slightly surprised.
What surprised her was not that she met Marquis Jianning's daughter here, but that there was a hint of reminder in Lin Da Nai's tone.
It seemed like it was the second time the two met, and the first long conversation. Sometimes, fate is really a strange thing.
While sighing, the three of them looked over. The forty-year-old woman among them immediately left the table with a smile and came over: "Everyone is late."
Mrs. Tang and others greeted the woman one after another: Mrs. Li
Mrs. Tai waved to Eleven Niang: Come, meet the wife of Mr. Li, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province.
Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li returned the gift and said: This is really embarrassing for me. I think our master was rescued by Mr. Hou at the beginning.
This is not a reward based on merit in the main hall. Mrs. Li smiled and interrupted Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was too polite.
While they were talking, the fifty-year-old woman and Yang, the third young lady of the Tang family, came over.
I had long heard that the Marquis married a virtuous and virtuous woman, but she was also a beauty. The woman in her fifties smiled and looked her up and down. Our Marquis is a lucky man.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sweat as she listened.
Before marrying Xu Lingyi, she was just an unknown little girl in the countryside of Yuhang. When did she have the reputation of being a virtuous and virtuous woman, this lady's hat was too high.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tai just laughed, and then said to Eleven Niang: This is the wife of Mr. Liang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment of Huagaidian University.
Eleven Niang bent her knees to salute Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Liang hurriedly took her hand: The Marquis and our master are brothers, so there is no need for Madam to be polite.
Alas, Mr. Yang who was standing by suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, pity that my brother-in-law has an extra little aunt.
Eleven Niang was confused when she heard this.
Mrs. Tai smiled and said: The third young and second sister of the Tang family is Mrs. Liang's third daughter-in-law.
Eleven Niang suddenly realized.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Mrs. Liang's eyes, and she laughed and said, "Aren't I afraid of giving a greeting gift?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, covering up Yang's abruptness.
The fourth grandma of the Tang family arranged everyone to the table in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Zheng Taijun, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Lin sat at one table, Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Qiao sat at the same table, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Huang, the third grandma and the eleventh mother sat at one table, and Sike's mother invited some of Miss Tang's aunts.
Aunt, everyone has met. Mrs. Tang sat at one table with her aunts, and several aunts sat at another table. The fifth table was full, and there was a seat left for the eleventh mother. The fourth grandma of the Tang family sat at the table.
He smiled and said to Mr. Yang: "You should also sit with me, right?"
Yang smiled and was about to sit down when a little maid ran in: Mrs. Zhou from the eldest princess's mansion is here.
When the fourth grandma of the Tang family heard this, she rushed out to welcome him. When Yang saw it, she also followed.
Grandma Huang San explained to Eleven Niang: Mr. Ma’s surname is Zhou. The eldest princess is old, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, comes to visit her. She is the eldest daughter of Zhennan Marquis Wang Rao.
Eleven Niang had an idea and whispered: Are you a relative of Mr. Wang, the chief envoy of Fujian?
Grandma Huang San was slightly startled: The Wang family in Zhennan did have a branch brother who was the chief envoy of Fujian. So you guys know each other.
That's right.
The one who said goodbye to Shiniang.
Mrs. Wang and Shiniang's sister, Mrs. Jiang, are very close.
She knew that these families were intertwined, but they were so complicated that she couldn't help but secretly feel happy that if the wife hadn't changed her mind and decided to take her out, and wanted to figure out these relationships by herself, it wouldn't have been impossible in three to five years.
Eleven Niang shook her head: I know the wife of the Chief Minister Wang.
Mrs. Lin sounded strange and was about to ask for more details when the fourth grandma of the Tang family and Ms. Yang walked in, hugging a woman in her thirties wearing a bright red silk butterfly and grape jacket.
Mrs. Zheng Taijun and the other elders sat motionless, while Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Li and the younger ones stood up and greeted Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou was very responsive, bending her knees to salute and greeting her. Everyone asked Taijun Zheng how she was, Mrs. Tai how Danyang was doing, Mrs. Lin when the fifth Miss Lin Mingyuan was going to get married, and Mrs. Liang when the wheat had been harvested and when the barley was to be harvested.
, and asked Mrs. Gan why she didn’t sit with her in-laws. Is she embarrassed? She made the atmosphere suddenly lively by three points alone. Eleven Niang couldn’t help but admire her secretly. Hearing that there was something in Mrs. Zhou’s words, she couldn’t help but whisper in a low voice.
Ask Lin Da Nai: Who is Mrs. Gan’s in-laws?
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: Lan Ting is engaged to the eldest son of Mr. Liang’s family.
Eleven Niang was shocked: When did it happen?
In March this year, Mrs. Lin laughed and said that the Liang family had been asking to marry Lan Ting, and the Gan family wanted to marry Cao E first and then discuss Lan Ting's marriage. Who knew that the ancestor of the Jiang family passed away in June, and the Jiang family wanted to get married within a hundred days.
, but Fujian is far away from here, and it's midsummer, so it's a bit rushed. The Gan family simply asked Cao E to wait until the three-year filial piety period has passed. They discussed Lanting's marriage first. Speaking of which, Lanting is not young. The Liang family's
The Dowager Madam has also been very ill. If there is really something wrong with her, Lanting will have to wait another three years. She also has two younger sisters who are planning to get married.
Eleven Niang's mind was spinning rapidly, and she could barely make out some words: You mean, the third lady of the Gan family is going to marry the Jian'an Jiang family who is a fourth-ranked scholar and has two pavilions. But the seventh lady of the Gan family is going to marry her.
Engaged to be engaged to the eldest son of the Liang family.
In this way, the third young lady of the Gan family will become Mrs. Qiao’s natal family.
It's so complicated
Well, Mrs. Lin nodded, glanced at Yang, and then blinked at Eleven Niang: The Yang family wanted to marry their second daughter to the eldest son of the Liang family, but unfortunately the eldest son of the Liang family had already made an appointment with the seventh daughter of the Gan family.
Yes, the second young master was engaged to the second daughter of Huang Yu, the inspector of Zhejiang Province, so the second daughter of the Yang family married the third young master of the Liang family. He said with a pursed smile.
Eleven Niang understood.
Regardless of whether it is a big family or a small family, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are the role models of the whole family and the ones who support the family. Therefore, they are very cautious in the training of the eldest son and the selection of the eldest daughter-in-law. The Liang family does this simply because they don’t want to
When marrying the Yang family, she thought of Lan Ting's innocence, intelligence, generosity and generosity. It was no wonder that the Liang family kept asking for marriage.
She smiled and winked at Mrs. Lin: I understand, I understand.
Mrs. Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Eleven Niang suddenly felt that Mrs. Lin was also a very interesting person.
The second son of the Liang family married the second daughter of Huang Yu, the inspector of Zhejiang Province. She remembered that the eldest wife had given her a hundred-year-old screen for her birthday, and Wu Niang wanted a red sandalwood screen base.
Luo Zhenxing used it to carve a longevity star. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Her life had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Speaking of which, she still owed Lan Ting a favor. When Lan Ting learned that she had become Xu Lingyi's stepmother, he tactfully warned her to read more Buddhist books, hoping that she could gain peace of mind and be able to survive all hardships.
It's a pity that she was too busy to take care of herself at the time and didn't dare to have more contact with Lan Ting. This has always been a regret in her heart.
While thinking about it, the lady waved to her.
The eleventh mother hurriedly left the banquet and went to the madam's place.
Mrs. Zhou, this is our fourth daughter-in-law. She pointed to Mrs. Zhou and said to the eleventh mother, this is the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess’s house, our capable person in Yanjing, Mrs. Zhou.
Eleven Niang half-crouched to perform a blessing ceremony. Mrs. Zhou quickly returned the ceremony and said to the lady beside her: Who is this? I have never seen such beauty. It turns out to be the fourth lady of your family.
Yang said from the side: Do you think she looks a bit like Song Jieyu?
Mrs. Zhou looked like she hadn't heard anything and was talking to Eleven Niang: Our family lives in an alley, right next to Lotus Lane. If you have nothing to do, you will go to our house to play. Mr. Hou, our family member, and Prince Shun,
They're all small, so don't be cautious.
Eleven Niang smiled and said: Thank you sister-in-law. I will definitely go and play then.
What sister-in-law? Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, calling her sister.
Eleven Niang quickly glanced at Mrs. Tai, and when she saw Mrs. Tai chin slightly, she smiled and called her sister.
Mrs. Zhou immediately responded with a smile, and then smiled and said to the Tang family's fourth wife: "You don't have to be embarrassed. The fourth wife and I shared a table."
The fourth grandma of the Tang family said anxiously: How can that be done?
Do you think I'm curious about your food? Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "I just want to join in the fun, don't you think there's no such food and drink anywhere?" She said, no matter what the fourth grandma of the Tang family said, she asked Eleven Niang
, Where are you sitting? This is the first time we sisters meet, we need to have a good talk. He also said to the wife and others, I should be setting out bowls with chopsticks, but some aunts and aunts saw that my mother-in-law didn't come today, so they let me be arrogant.
Act like a big sister in front of the fourth lady.
It made several ladies laugh.
It was even rarer for Zheng Taijun to tease people with a hint of ridicule: Tell the eldest princess to go tomorrow
Mrs. Zhou held on to Taijun Zheng's lapel and said, "I'm bringing candied fruit to see my aunt tomorrow." She made Taijun Zheng laugh and nodded her forehead: "Go, go, don't make trouble for us here."
Everyone laughed again.
She dragged Eleven Niang to Eleven Niang's table.
