Chapter 215 Congratulations
When the men of the Jing family came back from court, as soon as they reached the gate of the mansion, the porter rushed forward to congratulate them.Hearing about the imperial decree, Jing Qin was stunned. Jing Shangshu glanced at him, coughed twice, and then began to laugh, walking in, while saying, "Go! Let the kitchen prepare the family banquet !"

"The Da Furen has already been prepared." A servant replied with a smile.

Jing Shangshu didn't know what he said, and everyone laughed.

Jing Qin came back to his senses amidst the laughter, and stood there for a while before turning around and entering the gate of the mansion.

When it was night, the Jing Mansion held a family banquet, Mrs. Zhao's face no longer showed too much worry, but also showed two ounces of joy.

As for the other people in the Jingfu, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all congratulated Xu Jiao, a joke, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, who dare not congratulate?

No matter who it was, Xu Jiao treated everyone equally and just thanked him shyly.

Even Jing Qin, with a faint smile on his face, said "Congratulations" to her, but his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and it was hard to tell the depth.

Xu Jiao also didn't show anything on his face, and responded with a sweet smile, "Thank you, second brother".

This scene fell in the eyes of the rest of the Jing family, and many of them laughed, but there were meanings in each of these smiles.

On the other side of Helian Mansion, Mr. Du and Su Le are also congratulating Helian Shu. Mr. Du is restrained, Su Le is open-minded, and Di Da is honest, but the smiles on his faces are genuine.

Su Le patted He Lianshu's shoulder and said, "Ashu, you are about to embrace a beautiful woman, and we should celebrate such a happy event."

There was no expression on He Lianshu's face, but there was a bit of unconcealable joy in his eyes. Hearing the words, he replied lightly, "I think you are gluttonous again? Didn't you always want to try Zhu Liucui's food and drink?" Is it? You go to book a few tables and invite everyone to get together, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to work hard for everyone in the future!"

"Of course. It's a happy event. There are a lot of miscellaneous and trivial matters. This first one is going to be renovated up and down in our mansion. There are also the three books and six rituals of the Great Wei, all of which can be ignored." It's not easy, don't you, the bridegroom, have to treat us well? Wait, I, I'll go to the table. It is said that wine is not intoxicating, and everyone is drunk. I am happy today. Let's all get together later Drink with you, you should be drunk for a thousand cups today, right?" Su Le smiled and elbowed He Lianshu, and the latter did not even frown as he expected, it seems , I am really in a good mood today.

Su Le was also very happy, and happily turned around to wake Zhu Liucui to book a table, but before he could take a step, he suddenly heard a few whistles.

Naturally, it was also the sound of a wolf's whistle. Su Le's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head. He saw the faint smile on Helian Shu's face, and his eyes were looking at the sky with red clouds and low hanging clouds, as if It was also casted by the thick cloud shadow.

The night was deep, and the lights in He Lianshu's study room were brightly lit. At this time, Mr. Du, Su Le, and Dida didn't go to rest. Mr. Du sat aside and drank tea, but as time passed, he used The movement of the tea bowl cover gently brushing the floating leaves became heavier and quicker, making the tea bowl crackle from time to time.Su Le also locked his eyebrows and didn't say a word.However, Di Da could not restrain himself from pacing back and forth, and after a while rushed to the door to look outside again.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, the familiar sound of leather boots hitting the ground finally came from outside.

Mr. Du raised his eyes, Su Le jumped up from the chair, and Di Da even rushed out the door with an agility that didn't match his burly figure.After a while, He Lianshu was welcomed in.

He Lianshu was dressed in a black robe, some fine snow foam fell on his head, and some of his hair and eyebrows were also stained. I don't know if it was because of this, but the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes could almost fall out of ice scum.

"How's it going?" Seeing him like this, both Su Le and Di Da automatically silenced, and it was Mr. Du who asked softly.

"It's nothing." He Lianshu said two words in a cold voice, without any warmth.

But no one was really relieved, "Is it really all right?" Su Le asked again uncertainly.

He Lianshu glanced at him coldly, "Didn't you say you want to celebrate?"

Su Le was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at the sky outside, at this time?But dare not say anything.

Because of this paper's will to bestow marriage, Xu Jiao went to the palace the next day to thank her.When they arrived at Anfu Palace, the Empress Dowager took her hand and looked up and down, smiling and nodding while watching, "It seems that Ajiao is satisfied with this marriage! In this way, Aijia can rest assured. You guys Ah, I will tidy up Aijia's warehouse in a while, and Aijia will choose some dowry for Ajiao."

After hearing this, Xu Jiao was both happy and embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, isn't it because the wedding date hasn't been set yet? Besides, you should keep what belongs to Empress Dowager, Ajiao doesn't dare to take it."

"Aren't all the things of the Ai family to be left to you juniors? You are the daughter of Yanping, the granddaughter of the Ai family. The Ai family likes you, what will you give, who dares to speak? The things that the Ai family gave you , you can only keep it, and you are not allowed to say no." The queen mother has been ill for a while, and she looks old and thin, but her temperament is more and more like a child, happy and angry, and sometimes even a little willful.

Xu Jiao glanced at the eldest princess, and seeing her nodding towards him, she responded with a smile, "Then Ajiao will thank grandma for her kindness first."

The grandmother obviously pleased the Empress Dowager, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she personally weighed a candied fruit in the box at hand, fed it into Xu Jiao's mouth, and asked her persistently, "Is it sweet?"

Xu Jiao ate the candied fruit, exaggerating his eyes into stars, nodded vigorously and said, "It's so sweet! Grandma, you can try one too." Xu Jiao also picked one and fed it into the Queen Mother's mouth.

The queen mother smiled and praised the sweetness while eating, and the old and the young ate the candied fruit, smiling as sweet as honey.

The eldest princess looked at them with a smile on her lips.

The Empress Dowager has the habit of taking a nap. After serving her to sleep, the Eldest Princess and Xu Jiao walked out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom quietly.The Eldest Princess took Xu Jiao's hand, looked her over carefully, and jokingly said, "You've got your wish?"

"I haven't thanked my mother yet." Xu Jiao had a rare shyness, but it was only in the corner of his eyes, and his demeanor could not have been more graceful.

The eldest princess pulled her away, and spat at her, "You're such a worthless person, and I don't know what's so good about Helian Shu, so I fell in love with you like this."

Xu Jiao wasn't annoyed when he heard it, he just laughed.

The eldest princess glanced at her and sighed, "Forget it, I have to start preparing your dowry. I am busy marrying my daughter, and I have to pay for the dowry. The most important thing is that I am not very happy. If I see you someday He Lianshu, I insist on asking him what he should give to compensate Ben Gong for abducting my precious daughter."
