Chapter 526 Children
Even though Xiao Qilang and his wife were ready, they were still stunned by the number and background of the guests.

When sending out the invitations before, the husband and wife discussed with the Fang family and tried to avoid fanfare, so those who can receive the invitations are relatives and some partners who usually come and go.

But the number of people who came today was more than double the number of invitations they sent out.The gifts received were three or four times more than the number of invitations.

In addition to many "acquaintances" who are usually out of touch, officials from various states and counties came the most.

Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao couldn't figure out where these people got the news, they had tried their best to suppress the news of Xiao Shiliuniang's marriage.

Originally, the location of Xiaojia Village was under construction outside the city, so Xiao Qilang's family lived in one village.The road leading to the outside is not spacious at all, and it was blocked by a guest's carriage early this morning.

Those who came a little later got off the car two or three miles away, and walked over with presents on foot.

The only thing Xiao Qilang and his wife are lucky about is that the venue here is spacious, and there has been no situation where guests have no place to sit.

Xiao Yan arrived early, and brought his little friend to welcome Xiao Qilang and his wife.

With him around, Xiao Qilang and his wife relieved a lot of pressure.They only need to deal with those people who have sent invitations. As for those dignitaries who did not have invitations, they all gathered around Xiao Yan to talk.

"The next official sees the princess!"

"The princess is here? Where is she?"

"Everyone don't need to be too polite." Before someone was about to bow down to her, Fourteen said to everyone, "Today is the day when my sister is getting married, thank you for coming to congratulate me. Everyone do what you want, don't be restrained."

"Cousin, sister-in-law." Fourteenth Dynasty Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao came over, "Where is Liuniang?"

Since returning to Huangliang, she and Zuo Qiuyue have not been idle, and they only saw Xiao Qilang and his wife today.

Tian Qiao led Shisi to find Xiao Shiliuniang.

"Why didn't you see Yuqiu and the Jade Merchant?" Shisi asked just now when he saw Xiao Yuhe and Xiao Shuchang helping to receive the guests, but he didn't see the two younger ones.

"School is over yet." Tian Qiao said, "After school is over, I will definitely come over."

The school that Xiao Yan built in Xiaojia Village was also destroyed in the earthquake, but there were no casualties, and the funds were sufficient, so a relatively simple one was quickly rebuilt for temporary teaching.

The school in Xiaojia Village is the first free school funded and established by Xiao Yan. With the increase in odd goods housing and other income, he has built more and more free schools. Before the earthquake last year, it was already in Songzhou Nearly ten were built.

The earthquake affected several counties, but other destroyed schools were quickly rebuilt like the school in Xiaojia Village, and students returned to classes at the beginning of this year.For the remaining parts that could not be perfected, we continued to rush to work after the students left school.

Fourteen nodded and asked again, "Is Shuchang still preparing for the exam?"

Xiao Shuchang took the Tongsheng examination three times before passing the entrance examination, and he really failed in the first battle of fighting for a scholar.Although Shisi didn't say it clearly, he really felt that he was not material for studying.

But he also understood the importance of the imperial examination for the poor children of this era, so he didn't speak out to persuade him.

Xiao Shuchang and Qi Lecheng are in the same year, this year.Even if it takes another two years to waste, it doesn't matter.Two years later, he will only be 20 years old. By then, like Xiao Yuhe, he will learn to take care of the family property with his parents, and it will not be too late.

"Fourteen." Hearing this, Tian Qiao's face, which was originally full of joy, showed two melancholy, and she sighed, "Is it true that Shuchang is not material for studying at all?"

Fourteen answered directly, but asked, "Does he like reading?"

"He has been working hard since he was a child." Tian Qiao said, "He never said he didn't want to study."

"But you didn't say you liked reading?"

Tian Qiao was stunned when he heard the words.

"Sister-in-law, maybe you and your cousin can find a time to ask Shuchang what he thinks." Fourteen continued, "Ask him what he wants to do."

Xiao Yuhe studied until the age of 16, and started working with his parents after Jiji.According to Fourteen's knowledge, Xiao Shuchang's grades were not as good as Xiao Yuhe's when he was in school.But Xiao Qilang and his wife did not arrange him like they arranged for Xiao Yuhe, but tacitly agreed that he would keep studying and take the road of imperial examination.

Scholars all over the world should aim to be an official butcher. It is hard for Tian Qiao to imagine that Xiao Shuchang would not like it.Their family no longer has to worry about making a living, so they naturally want to raise their children in a better direction.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, one is at the top and the other is at the bottom. Of course, they hope that their son can become the former.

Shisi also understands that no matter how enlightened Tian Qiao is, she is also an out-and-out Dali Dynasty person.Her thoughts represent the thoughts of most people in this era, and Xiao Shuchang is also the epitome of most poor scholars in this era.People like Qi Lecheng are "freaks".

"Fourteen." Tian Qiao was silent for a while, then asked, "What if Shuchang really doesn't want to study and wants to do other things?"

"If it was me, I would support him." Fourteen said.

"...I understand." Tian Qiao lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, "I'll discuss it with your cousin later, and then we can talk to Shuchang together."

The aunt and sister-in-law chatted and walked to the door of the bride's room.

Knocking on the door and entering, Xiao Shiliuniang had just changed into her wedding dress, and was sitting in front of the dressing table for Granny Quanfu to comb her hair.

Seeing Fourteen, everyone saluted one after another.

"Excuse me, everyone." Fourteen asked everyone to stand up, "What to do, don't pay attention to me."

"Sister, you are here."

Fourteen looked at Xiao Shiliuniang, who was worn down by life in her early twenties to look like a 30-year-old.Now nearly 30 years old, she looks even more beautiful than seven years ago.These years have been very tolerant to her, waiting for her slowly.

"It's so beautiful." Fourteen took Xiao Sixiniang's hand, looked around, and said, "It's getting more and more beautiful."

When the women in the room heard her words, they immediately followed her words and continued to boast, which made Xiao Sixiniang blush.

"Miss Sixteen, this is a makeup gift from the concubine." The wooden box in Yinzhu's hand was replaced by a moderately large box, and she put the box on the table next to her.

"Thank you, Sister." Xiao Shiliuniang understood that with Shisi's current status, being able to attend her wedding had already given her full dignity.

"You're my sister, you're welcome." Sisi saw that everyone was still standing stiffly, and said, "Hurry up and help her dress up. After the makeup is done, we sisters will whisper."

Everyone said "yes" and got busy.

Fourteen felt that everyone would be nervous if she stood here, so she pulled Tian Qiao to talk next door.Come back after Xiao Shiliuniang finishes dressing.

Just now Xiao Shuchang was mentioned, and now Xiao Yuhe was mentioned.

After she passed the wedding ceremony, the matchmaker broke through the threshold.

"Your cousin and I saw a few of them that are really nice. The family is nice and the people are even nicer, but she just doesn't nod." Speaking of a pair of children, Tian Qiao sighed, "Ask her why, every time it's Three words, 'dislike'."

"We are not those parents who will force their children to marry. We always talk to her. He said he didn't like it, so we asked her what she liked. But she hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. Come three."

"I used to hear my father say that children are the debts of parents, but now I understand it. Sigh!"
