Chapter 31
The door of Jiang's house has been blocked.
In addition to the people joining in the fun, there were also guests who came to congratulate the guests.
Looking around, almost all the major wealthy families in Beijing and Ling were present.
Today's Jiang family naturally does not have such a face, but the emperor granted marriage, and the person she married was the Hu family, so she had to be more careful.
It's just that there are three, six, and nine levels of face. On such an occasion today, there is no need for the head of the laboring family to appear. It is enough for the juniors and female relatives to come to pay their respects.
Jiang Fayun and his eldest son will handle the male guests, while the female family members will be entertained by the Luo family and several women from the clan.
"Why such a rush?"
"For a girl from a high-class family, it takes at least half a year from preparation to marriage. You are still afraid of subjugating your own girl. You are so anxious..."
"The Hu family didn't come to Beijing until the end of March. It's less than a month and a half, so it's scheduled to be at the end of the year."
In the face of these inquiries, Luo Shitong reported with a helpless smile: "Chongzhou is a long way away, it is inconvenient, but it is impossible. I have really wronged Qiniang..."
Regarding this marriage, while everyone was laughing, they could also understand her feelings to a certain extent - they said it was a baby marriage, but in fact it was no different from a forced marriage. No wonder she seemed insincere.
Someone changed the topic and asked: "Seventh Lady, are you ready?"
The person next to me answered: "We still have to hurry. Of course we have to go early. We can't really leave until it's dark."
Mr. Luo smiled apologetically at the side: "It's extremely true, it's extremely true."
After hearing what she said, everyone started clamoring to see the bride.
Mrs. Luo was unable to stop them, and watched helplessly as a group of people entered Foyin's courtyard, and then the door to the living room was pushed open.
"Ah! This is..."
Luo's heart skipped a beat.
Although maids had been arranged to guard both sides, as a precaution, she still rushed forward and half-blocked the bride who was sitting upright behind her.
"You don't know something. The wedding customs in Beiland are different from those in Jingling. They don't use masks there, but use scarves to cover them."
"Even if you use a hijab, it's not too late to cover yourself when you go out. You should always let us see each other."
"that is……"
Luo was so anxious that he saw these people still arguing with each other, so he hurriedly said: "Only the new son-in-law can take off this hijab, otherwise it will be unlucky."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Yang clan joked: "It's not close from Jingling to Chongzhou, so this hijab will have to be covered for a while."
All the ladies also laughed.
However, people's marriage customs are like this, so it's hard to force it. After saying some words of congratulations, they followed the guide to the front hall.
When the general sat down, he heard the servant announcing: "The general's wife has arrived!"
This is amazing!
The Xu Jiang family had caused such a commotion because of Jiang Liu Niang's righteousness, and now they actually sent someone here? Such generosity is really unbelievable.
Not only the guests in the hall couldn't figure it out, but Mr. Luo couldn't figure it out either.
He endured the annoyance and went to greet the people. He saw not only Mr. Lou Huan, but also a beautiful-looking woman beside him. She looked like she was no ordinary servant.
Lou Huanjun obviously put on thick powder, but you can still see that he is a little haggard, and his smile is a little forced.
After greeting Mr. Luo, he paused and then introduced sideways: "This is Dong Ji."
There is nothing else to say.
The ladies looked at each other in confusion. Although they said nothing, the fight between their eyebrows was lively.
Just now I thought that the Lou family's haggardness was all due to the Lou family's sin against Tian Yan, but now it seems that may not be the case.
In the past two days, there have been rumors circulating that General Xu Chao has recognized a son from the people, and this Dong Ji must be the biological mother of the young man.
In such an occasion, it is not suitable for concubine Ji to appear, but Dong Ji can come with the Lou family. Although she is in love with the Jiang family, how can she not be in love with the Lou family?
It was obvious that she would not bring the person here on her own initiative, so it can be seen that Dong Ji must have some respect in the Xu family, and the young man must also be highly valued.
I'm afraid Lou will have to apply more makeup on her face in the future!
Among the four maids selected by Jiang Fusang, Changpu is reliable, Jilian and Wanqing are skillful, and Youcao is a good retributor.
She walked around the house and quickly informed her daughter about Lou Huanjun's arrival.
Jiang Fusang was not surprised.
When the Lou family saw that they had committed crimes against the emperor, the Xu family also followed suit. She had no choice but to lower her head and congratulate the Jiang family. What she saw was the emperor's face.
Youcao whispered: "In the past, when Mrs. Lou was there, most of the noble family members would surround her, but that's not the case today. Most of them were chatting and laughing around the third young lady of the Lian family and the Yang clan's wife."
Jiang Fusang asked: "Dong Ji is here too?"
Youcao nodded: "Follow Mrs. Lou step by step. She looks very respectful wherever Mrs. Lou goes." The strange thing is that the more respectful Dong Ji is, the worse Mrs. Lou's complexion becomes.
Jiang Fusang secretly thought that Dong Ji had some brains, but if she really got carried away, she might not be able to survive three moves in Lou's hands, and she might not be able to change the ending of her previous life.
But these are beyond her control, everyone has their own destiny.
Regardless of whether Dong Ji succeeds or not, it has no impact on the overall situation - although the Lou family has not completely collapsed, it will be difficult to be reused in the future. Without the backing of her mother's family, Lou Huanjun's future life will only be difficult and even more difficult.
While the master and servant were talking, there was a sudden noise outside. It turned out to be someone from the palace.
Even the first-class female officials beside the empress came in person and read out the imperial edict. In addition to nine concubines and fifty craftsmen, they also presented a generous wedding gift.
Such a large gesture has aroused quite a bit of discussion.
And amidst all the speculation, the Hu family's convoy to welcome the bride arrived in front of the Jiang family.
-
"The auspicious time has come!"
With this shout, Jiang Fusang was helped up.
The courtyard was full of people, and when they saw the bride coming out, they all expressed their congratulations.
Marriages in Jingling are extravagant, and wealthy families are all happy with extravagance. In addition, this marriage attracted the attention of the court, so the pomp and ceremony was even grander than the day she married into the Xu family.
On that day, the Hu family's recruitment convoy stretched from the North City Gate to the front of the Jiang Mansion. Yesterday, the bride's dowry was first sent to the residence where the Hu family stayed. It stretched for several miles, attracting people to watch and admire it.
However, no matter how grand Jiang Fusang was, he couldn't see it anymore. The hijab covered everything.
Just as she was about to cross the threshold, Mrs. Luo held her hand tightly and cried until she burst into tears - she was a married woman after all, so the lack of any sadness would arouse suspicion?
Jiang Fusang was extremely grateful for this square hijab, because she really couldn't shed a single tear.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo was too sad, the female relatives stepped forward to persuade her.
Jiang Fusang took this opportunity to step away and move swiftly.
Luo: "..."
The person from the Hu family who was welcoming the bride was a clan relative. He was planning to follow the etiquette to invite the bride to the wedding, when he saw that the bride in full makeup had already arrived.
The steward of the Hu family was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Please invite the bride to board the car!"
"Get on board!!!"
As the music started, Jiang Fusang got into the wedding car with the help of the maid.
Bullock carts are commonly used to welcome brides in the South, but considering that they still have to travel after the wedding, Hu's family still uses horse-drawn carriages.
Jiang Fusang sat upright in the car. After a while, a crisp bell rang, and the wheels began to roll forward.
