Prime Minister

Chapter 351
"Third brother, I remember that our Zhang family's old house in Pucheng was originally worth 150 guan."

Zhang Yue said: "This is the price."

Zhang Shi said with emotion: "Now we bought a house in Bianjing, and it can be worth 850 yuan. This can be doubled, but I still like the old house at home."

Zhang Yue smiled, it was difficult for him to understand Zhang Shi's mood.

I studied in a small town, then went to the provincial capital to study at university, and finally worked in the provincial capital. What I really wanted was to be able to buy my own house in the provincial capital.

Now he finally has his own home.

Brother Zhang Yue and Zhang Shi looked at the gate of their house, and suddenly had a different feeling.

But it is undeniable that from the cramped and low buildings to today's tall courtyards, no matter how their moods have changed, they are now full of fulfillment in their hearts, and they finally have a place to live in Bianjing.

Now under the bright sky, my courtyard and alleys are quiet, and in a few hours, there will be a lot of traffic and guests.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath against the morning light, only felt his heart beating fast, he couldn't tell whether it was anxiety or excitement after he calmed down.

But the Wu Mansion was busy before dawn, Mrs. Wu and Fifteenth Mother came to the Wu Mansion early in the morning. As for Wu Anshi, Wu Anchi's brother and sister-in-law helped each other to clean up.

Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi presided over foreign affairs, prepared to receive guests, tidy up the layout, sweep inside and outside the house, and so on.

And Shi Qi Niang got up before the fourth watch, boiled soup in the kitchen, took a bath first, and then a woman from Quanfu gave Shi Qi Niang a face.

This woman of Quanfu first applied powder on Shiqi Niang's face, then used a red cotton thread to twist her face back and forth, and finally tied Shi Qi Niang's hair into a bun. backed out.

It was just dawn at this time, and Seventeen Niang was sitting by the mirror with the help of her sisters-in-law and the maids in the room to spread her temples, adjust her makeup, paint her lips and eyebrows, and put on hairpins and clothes.

There are more than a dozen women busy in the room.

At this time, several ladies from the government's mansion who handed over handkerchiefs to Li Taijun came to the new house to meet Shi Qiniang.

A royal wife said with a smile: "The five daughters of your Wu family are all good-fated people. The first four sisters all married into the prime minister's family, and one is going to marry the future prime minister."

Everyone laughed when they heard the woman who was destined to speak so eloquently.

On the wedding day, no one thinks it is auspicious to talk less, but they are afraid that they will not talk too much. This lively and joyous atmosphere is considered to be there.

Seventeen Niang was also laughing, but for some reason tears fell while smiling.

Everyone is accustomed to it. On the day of marriage, it is necessary for a woman to be attached to her family and shed tears. Everyone continued to chat.

But Shi Qi Niang burst into tears, and Mrs. Wu saw that Shi Qi Niang was crying wrongly, so she wiped her tears and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seventeen Niang choked up and said, "I think of the one in the nunnery..."

Mrs. Wu sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that Shi Qi Niang was sad that her biological mother could not watch her get married with her own eyes.

Mrs. Wu said: "I'll see it later, today is your big day, don't talk about it."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wu called out: "Bring some red dates and longan."

Mrs. Wu stuffed these into Seventeen Niang's hands and said: "Eat some when you get on the sedan chair. Today, I will not eat or drink for a whole day."

Seventeen Niang held it in both hands.

Mrs. Wu said to Seventeen Niang again: "Be your bride well. If Mr. Zhang's family treats you badly, just tell me that your brother-in-law and I will not divorce him."

Seventeen Niang said: "Before marriage is no better than after marriage. My sister can vent my anger for me for a while, but my happiness in this life lies with him. If power is really useful, the daughter of the official family will not be divorced."

Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "This is our woman's life."

Seventeen Niang has stopped crying at this moment, and has a red date in her mouth.

While everyone in the room was chatting and laughing, there was another commotion outside the room for a while, and people from the Wu family's big house (Wu Yu) also came over to the house, and it became even more lively for a while.

At this time Wu Chong and Li Taijun arrived.

The well-dressed Seventeen Niang came out.

Wu Chong looked at his daughter and said, "You should pay homage to your family hall and ancestors, and bless your marriage and harmony. In addition, since you are married, you will be the Zhang family in the future. You should be filial to your brothers and sisters over there, and be respectful to you." Husband, don’t think about it at home.”

Seventeen Niang leaned back with tears in her eyes and said, "Daughter knows, please take care of your parents."

When the time came here, Zhang Yue and his party set off to the Wu Mansion to welcome the relatives, while Guo Lin, Zhang Shi, and Zhang Qiu stayed at the mansion to receive the congratulatory guests.

In front is the emperor's ceremonial guard of honor leading the way, marching forward in a mighty way, only one lane away from Zhangyue, Cao Yi, the uncle of the country. Gao Dama lent Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue rode a big white horse without a single hair, dressed in the uniform of the groom's official, and was extraordinarily energetic. Zhang Gong led the horse for him in front of the horse.

Following Zhang Yue is the gentleman who teaches etiquette and the matchmaker Mrs. Zhuang.

Behind them are Huang Haoyi, Fan Zuyu, Wang Anli, Zeng Zhao, Xu Jiang, etc., all of them are peddlers, holding vases, flower candles, incense balls, Shaluo washing, makeup, photo stands, skirt boxes, clothes boxes, and knots. , cool umbrellas, chairs and other things.

On the left and right, there are officials from the Street Department. Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, the officials from the Street Department also took pride in sending soldiers to hold water jars and sprinkle them on the side of the road to avoid dust flying when passing by.

Afterwards, the music officials played the music, and more than [-] singers wearing red and purple clothes mixed in the team. .

The crowd surrounded the bridegroom and the sedan chair to go to Jinliang Bridge.

Along the way, all passers-by paid attention to him. Everyone knew that Zhuang Yuanlang was getting married today, so they went to greet his relatives.

The people avoided the roadside, and some people followed the procession to watch the fun.

Soon Zhang Yue and his entourage stopped in front of the Wu Mansion, but saw that the gate of the mansion was closed tightly.

While the musicians continued to play the advocacy song, Huang Haoyi, who was holding a coat box in his hand, muttered, "I heard that people in Bianjing get married, and they will give the bridegroom official a blow?"

"What's wrong with you?" Fan Zuyu, who was holding a vase beside him, asked.

Huang Haoyi gestured towards the gate of Wu Mansion with his mouth and said: "You see, this can be regarded as a closed door."

Fan Zuyu said: "How can this be good?"

Huang Haoyi said: "It's easy, just write a make-up poem or ask the musicians to play a make-up song, or give more color forging or open the door seal."

"What if we still don't open the door?" Fan Zuyu asked.

Huang Haoyi said: "I don't know. If so, with the many years of friendship between you and me, I'm afraid I have to kneel in front of the door and beg on behalf of Duzhi."

Fan Zuyu couldn't help turning pale when he heard the words.

Seeing that there was no movement in the Wu residence,
Here, the gentleman next to Zhang Yue signaled to stop his advocacy, but he came out and said loudly: "The high-rolled bead curtains are hung with jade hooks, and the fragrant cars and BMWs arrive at the door. There are many rewards in the bonus market, and the wealth and glory will last forever. "

But as soon as listening to the voice fell, the gates of the Wu Mansion opened.
