Chapter 488 The Big Wedding
Mrs. Li curled her lips indifferently, "What's the matter, everyone dies, and I don't die now. I don't die now. My son has just won a Jinshi, and I haven't enjoyed this blessing yet. My imperial order Didn't get it either."

Mrs. Li chattered for a while, showing off her wedding dress to others, and hurriedly asked Nanny Lin to put it away again, as if she was afraid of being touched by others. Mrs. Li still did not forget to show off, "I was wearing this at the beginning. When I came out, even the magistrate's wife of Lin County asked me what kind of material it was."

In fact, Li Meier seldom hears Mrs. Li mentioning her natal family. She only knows that her ancestors seem to be officials from the previous dynasty. Now she asked curiously, "I heard you say how rich your natal ancestors were, and I thought you were bragging. , it seems to be true."

"Of course it's true." Mrs. Li curled her lips and said, "You don't even look at it. What does your old Li family have? There is no two acres of land in your ancestors. When I marry your old Li family, I don't want anything but that short-lived ghost. People are not bad."

"My grandfather is not only a nice person, but also has a good eye. Otherwise, why did he fall in love with you, grandma?" Li Meier took the opportunity to flatter her.

Mrs. Li smiled, "That's true."

The day of Li Meier's wedding was also very lively. Jiang and Li's family had planned their wedding route in advance. You must know that although the two families lived next door, they couldn't go directly to Li's house from Jiang's house. up.

The two families decided on a long way, Jiang Shanqing went east from the door of Jiang's house, went all the way to Qinglong Street, walked around beating and knocking, and then detoured to Li's house, picked up the bride, went out and walked west. Go back, go to Suzaku Street, and go all the way back to Jiang's house.

Li Meier got up early in the morning, and Jiang Shanqing also got up early in the morning. Because the wedding was approaching, Jiang Shanqing had been living in Jiang's house for the past few days.

Of course, he was very used to coming to Li's house to see Li Meier every day.

He also came over early this morning, but he hadn't entered Li Mei'er's room yet.So I was stopped by Mrs. Li, who complained, "Shanqing, why are you here today? Oh, I can't meet you today, I don't understand the rules! Come back quickly, in the evening After welcoming the relatives, we will be together for a long time in the future."

Jiang Shanqing is also a very face-saving person, and he is very serious about finding reasons for himself, "I just came here to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Why do you need your help, add to the chaos!" Mrs. Li pushed Jiang Shanqing out, and at the same time told her grandson, "Brother Kang, send your brother Shanqing back quickly."

Brother Kang got his grandmother's order, and took Jiang Shanqing out. Jiang Shanqing didn't forget to ask Kang Geer, "Your sister is almost ready, right?"

"Well, I've put on a new wedding dress. It looks great. The aunt who combs her hair is combing her sister's hair."

When Jiang Shanqing heard the word "wedding dress", he couldn't help but hesitate, and said, "I'm going back now, don't send me off." When he went back, he also changed into the clothes of his groom.

Today is a day of great joy. The inside and outside of Li's house are covered with red happy characters. Li Yan is welcoming guests outside. Mrs. Jiang and Li Yuanchun are helping to greet the relatives and friends who come over in the inner courtyard. Granddaughter, sometimes happy, sometimes relieved, sometimes sad.

But the old man did not forget to look at her girl's dowry inside and out, especially the red sealing paper outside the box to see if it had been tampered with, the most important thing was the jewelry dowry.I'm afraid that on the big day, there will be too many people and a thief will come.

Jiang Shanqing found four welcoming envoys, three were Jinshi from the same discipline as him, and one was given to Brother Zhang who strongly requested to be a welcoming envoy.

The welcoming envoy was invited by Li Yuanchun to have tea when he was outside, and Jiang Shanqing saluted his father-in-law and mother-in-law inside, and was inevitably embarrassed by his brother-in-law, so he entered Li Meier's boudoir, and Kang Geer carried Li Meier on his back Sedan.

Jiang Shanqing was still worried about him, and kept nagging beside him, "Oh, Brother Kang, you must be careful, you must be careful, don't fall your sister. Steps! Steps! Be careful stepping on the steps!" Protecting Li Meier like an old hen.

Brother Zhang smiled helplessly, "Brother Shanqing, you might as well recite it yourself."

Jiang Shanqing glanced at him, and said to himself, I want to recite it by myself, Brother Kang disagrees.Forget it, when I marry Mei Meier in, I can recite it however I want.

Brother Kang is also very dissatisfied with Brother Shanqing's suspicion of his strength.After carrying his sister back into the sedan chair, he gave Brother Shanqing a cautious look.I thought to myself why I didn't know Brother Shanqing was so long-winded before!

Jiang Shanqing couldn't take care of him at the moment, seeing that Li Meier was sitting firmly in the sedan chair, he hurriedly called the welcoming envoys to rush back.

Brother Zhang sometimes couldn't help complaining from the side, "Why are you so anxious to get married."

Jiang Shanqing is used to making excuses for himself, "There is an auspicious time, and it will be bad if the auspicious time is missed."

Jiang Youzhi also comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't be too late."

It was the first time that Jiang Youzhi saw Jiang Shanqing such an anxious bridegroom, and he thought to himself, what do you want to be like to get married!
Little did he know that Jiang Shanqing was also slandering Jiang Youzhi in his heart: it's strange that my little uncle is still a bachelor at such an age, with this mentality, it's not easy to marry the person he likes.

When Jiang Shanqing took Li Mei'er to the Jiang's house, the Jiang's house was full of guests. Even if a large family of the Jiang family came to the Li's house to support the scene, it was still not half as lively as the Jiang's house.

Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier held a piece of red silk together, and he would look back at Li Meier from time to time, the affection between his brows was tender, anyone with long eyes would know how happy the bridegroom is at this moment.The two of them were about to go into the main hall to worship, when a servant outside came in excitedly to report that the envoys sent by the emperor and queen had come to give rewards to the two newcomers!This is really a great honor and a happy event. There are many court officials who come to the Jiang family's wedding banquet, but due to Jiang Yanzhi's official position, most of them are low-level ones. At this moment, the emperor and queen are all sending people. Sending congratulatory gifts to Tanhualang's young couple, they all showed surprise, but most of them were envious.Although everyone met His Majesty in the early court, that was all.Whose family can have such dignity when they get married!
All the guests present got up one after another, waiting for the envoys of the emperor and queen to come in and announce the decree.

The one who came from the palace to give gifts was a first- and sixth-rank servant. Speaking of which, his grade was comparable to that of Jiang Yanzhi, but his attitude towards the members of the Jiang family was also very polite. He first read the oral order from His Majesty and Empress before admiring the pair. Handed it over to Jiang Shanqing personally.
