Chapter 529 Chapter 529 Wedding Banquet
Chapter 529 529. Wedding banquet
In early April, the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an was bustling with activity.
Such a big event as the marriage between the two houses shocked the whole capital. After receiving the wedding invitations, there was an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate them. People started to come to the door one after another since early in the morning.
It was a rare day for Shen Xingluo to meet Xiu Mu, so the three masters of the Shen family all got on the carriage, and brother and sister Fuguang and Wangshu were responsible for driving the carriage.
The group of people wandered towards the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Regardless of the staffing and the luxury of the carriage, this family was quite simple, and it could be said that it was inconspicuous in the eyes of the people who wore silk and satin.
However, both Qu Shaojing, the groom's official, and Qu Shaoya were very considerate. They had already ordered their personal servants and maids to wait at the door, specifically responsible for receiving their master's friends.
"Master Shen, Mrs. Shen is here, please come over here."
The servant took the invitation in Fuguang's hand and warmly entertained the customers without looking at it. The maid beside him was an acquaintance, Cuizhu who had received them at the hot spring village outside Wu'anhou.
"Thank you both."
"Oh, Mr. Shen's words really offend the young one. The young Marquis specially ordered the young one to entertain the three of you well."
While leading the way, the boy looked at the three Shen family members without leaving a trace. The man was dressed in blue, and his handsome features showed a bit of indifference. The woman was in green clothes and skirts. One was elegant and indifferent, and the other was gentle and pleasant. Even the two servants beside him were both charming. Good looks.
Mom, how do these Shen family members look and why are they so handsome?
Are you sure you came from the countryside?
Look at the temperament of this person, look at this extraordinary appearance, no one dares to question whether he is a young master or a young lady from any aristocratic family!
Why? Is it possible that the young marquis and his young lady got to know each other because they admired the Shen family's extraordinary appearance?
The boy inexplicably felt that he had discovered the truth.
"Brother Shen, this way."
Yu Heting was sitting there drinking tea alone. When he saw an acquaintance standing up to greet him, Shen Xingluo nodded to him, then turned around and said a few words to Cheng Xi and then walked towards him with Fuguang.
When ancient people entertained guests, male guests and female guests were separated. Even if they were a family, the male and female guests in the house had different social circles.
At this point, Cheng Xi couldn't help complaining about "trouble" and was looking forward to it.
It is a kind of enjoyment to be able to truly experience the complicated wedding etiquette that has long disappeared in the long river of history in modern times.
"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, this is the side courtyard. My wife and young lady are waiting here."
"Thank you Sister Cuizhu for leading the way."
"Why is Miss Shen so out of touch with this slave?"
Cuizhu was worthy of being a first-class maid in the Wu'an Hou Mansion. She not only knew etiquette but was also generous and decent. Shen Xingqi felt that she was being treated grandly and at the same time she felt a bit intimate. Her attitude was just right.
The little girl chuckled lightly, "It's not a surprise. Sister Cuizhu came to pick up my sister-in-law and I. She must have taken some time off from her busy schedule."
"You are my lady's best friend. You are just a guide. Miss Shen should not praise me for such trivial matters."
Walking through a winding wooden corridor into the side courtyard, I met many maids and servants. There was order in the busyness, which is enough to show that the mistress of the house manages the house.
"It's just ahead."
As soon as Cuizhu finished speaking, the two of them stepped into another small courtyard. What they saw was full of female guests dressed in colorful clothes, surrounded by flowers, and smiling softly.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou was entertaining distinguished guests with a smile, and most of the people talking around her were the matrons of various houses in the capital.
Cheng Xi glanced around and unexpectedly found that there were not many familiar faces.
The Marquis of Wu'an is a hereditary first-class Duke and has a prominent position in the capital. The identity of the female guest who came to attend the wedding banquet and was personally received by Madam Hou was naturally unusual. She was not in the same circle as the family she had attended the banquet before.
"Madam, Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen are here."
Cuizhu saluted the mistress and introduced the two of them sideways.
"It turns out that he is a guest of Shen's house. The child Shaoya has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Mrs. Hou is wearing a dark red festive dress, her hair is meticulously combed, her hairpin is fixed, she is dignified and elegant.
"Meet Madam."
Cheng Xi bowed slightly and saluted. Not surprisingly, he received stares from everyone around him, and his good hearing allowed the two of them to hear a few whispers.
Well, they were all discussing their identities as sister-in-law.
"There is no need to be polite. Today is a wedding banquet. If the reception is not good, please keep Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen alone."
"Where, it is our honor to have Miss Cuizhu personally leading the way."
The two sides exchanged a few polite words back and forth, and the aunt and sister-in-law received many glances from around them. Most of the whispers in their ears turned into exclamations such as "It turns out to be Mr. Shen's family."
Ouch, another small wave of presence has appeared~(*^▽^*)~
"Sister Cheng and Sister Shen are here!"
Qu Shaoya walked over from nowhere, accompanied by Qin Nan and Song Yan. A few steps behind them were several figures, one of whom looked sickly and panted every step of the way.
Cheng Xi glanced at the girl's facial expressions that were somewhat similar to Qu Shaoya's and introduced the identity of the young lady from the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
In just two minutes, she recognized all the main female relatives in the Hou family.
Of course, on such a big day, Wu'anhou's aunt and so on, because of her lack of status, probably stayed in her own small courtyard and quietly felt the excitement of the main courtyard.
"The wedding sedan has arrived!"
A super loud sound mixed with surprise reached everyone's ears. Those who were talking about the "Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen" group immediately changed the topic. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Hou smiled and led the female guests to the front yard.
"Everyone, let me take a look."
Today is a good day calculated by Qintian Supervisor, and God has lived up to his expectations. The sky is blue and occasionally dotted with white clouds, and the spring sunshine evenly spreads on the body, making people feel warm.
Neither hot nor cold, it's a good time.
When Cheng Xi, Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu followed the large army to the front yard, there were already many male guests gathered there, looking at Shen Xingluo across the "Newcomer's Road" in the middle of the living room.
At this time, he was whispering something to Yu Heting. Qin Zheng was holding a fan and echoing beside him. He felt familiar eyes and looked up, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
"The new guy has arrived——"
The sound of festive blowing sounded, and everyone looked outside the courtyard. They saw Qu Shaojing, dressed in red, walking towards this side in high spirits, wearing a big red flower on his chest, and holding a red silk hand to connect another person. Newcomer.
"It's Sister Jiang~"
"Ah."
Even through the red hijab, Cheng Xi could see the familiar figure, and his mental power could even sense her nervousness.
"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
"Second worship high hall-"
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
The ceremony officer shouted loudly, and the newlyweds kowtowed three times to sign the ceremony. Cheng Xi also got to see Marquis Wu'an with a thick beard.
The aunt and sister-in-law were both startled by the huge body.
"Thankfully, Mrs. Hou is so beautiful~" Shen Xingqi looked at Qu Shaojing, the beautiful tree in the center of the hall, and then looked sideways at the cute and cute Qu Shaoya, marveling at the genetics of this family.
"Not necessarily. Maybe Marquis Wu An is a first-class handsome man even if he shaves his beard."
"what?"
Shen Xingqi looked as if the carrot in the little rabbit's arms was about to drop in shock. Don't be too suspicious of life.
The sound of the discussion between the two was too low to be heard by others. With the sound of "sent into the bridal chamber", the guests on both sides of the hall were divided into two groups again. The male guests took their seats to celebrate, and most of the female guests followed the bride back to the side courtyard.
Cheng Xi followed Mrs. Hou all the way to the new house. After the groom chose the bride's hijab, she finally saw the married Jiang Yuyao.
"Wow~ Sister Jiang is so beautiful!"
"Sister-in-law is indeed beautiful, she is the most beautiful today!"
Jiang Yuyao, who was teased by everyone, blushed and became even more charming.
Today's bride is indeed astonishingly beautiful. In the past, Jiang Yuyao wore light makeup, but today she specially used red lipstick, and paired with the bright red dress with outstanding embroidery skills, she looked dignified and elegant.
There was also a hint of the aura of a mistress on her face.
Cheng Xi was so stunned that he secretly thought that people in ancient times changed a lot when they got married. It was like a junior high school student stepping into the workplace in one step.
"Let me, Princess, quickly see where the bride is?"
The new house was opened again, and a girl with exquisite makeup and noble face walked in, followed by two palace maids in palace clothes.
"Xuehan!"
Qu Shaoya rushed over in surprise, "Why are you free to leave the palace today?"
"How could I not come to such a big event like sister Yuyao's marriage? I begged my uncle for a long time to come out."
The noble woman's name is Lu Xuehan, and her mother is the youngest and only sister of the current Holy Emperor. Lu Xuehan has been deeply loved by the Holy Emperor since she was a child, and was given the title of Princess Cheng'an three years ago.
Compared with the powerful mother clan, the name of Princess Cheng'an's father should not be underestimated. Although he was born in poverty, he won the title of number one scholar in the imperial examination more than ten years ago. Princess Meng hoped to become the consort in one day, even if he did not enter the court these years He also made friends with many famous scholars by virtue of his paintings. Perhaps it was because the prince-consort's life was too boring and he often held various poetry gatherings.
It is said that he is a handsome young man with outstanding scenery.
Oh no, now I should say he is a gentle and beautiful uncle.
When Cheng Xi heard the title of "my princess", the above introductions automatically appeared in his mind. In fact, it was easy to distinguish them. So far, the only one who could be called the princess was the one in front of him.
The Holy Emperor now has seven princes alive to the end of his life, as well as several little princesses. Only the royal princess is in short supply. Except for the one in front of him, the others are still little babies with runny noses.
Thinking of this, she had to lament the scarcity of royal heirs, as the princes obviously had a lot of concubines and concubines.
"Shaoya, have you made a new friend? Why don't you introduce me?"
"Introductions. It's rare for you to leave the palace, so I'll introduce them to you one by one."
After seeing the bride presenting her belated makeup, the little princess, who had not yet had her hair tied, met a few strangers. Only then did Shen Xingqi realize that everyone else had gone out at some point, and the only ones left in the new house were the bride. And Qu Shaoya's best friend.
"This is Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen, the family members of Mr. Shen, the editor of the Hanlin Academy."
"Are they the wife and sister of the Number One Scholar's family?"
Lu Xuehan looked at the two of them curiously, her palm-sized face showing a bit of surprise, and she glanced at them briefly as her beautiful eyes swept over them.
"I've met Princess Cheng'an."
"Since the two of you are good friends of younger sister Shaoya, you are your own sisters, so there is no need to be polite."
She raised her hand slightly to avoid the etiquette between the two of them, "I have heard of Master Shen's name before, but I never thought that Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen have such outstanding appearance."
"Thank you for the compliment, princess. In terms of appearance, we are far behind the princess."
"Don't call me Princess. Madam Shen can just call me Xuehan like Shaoya. Cheng'an is fine too."
Princess Cheng'an smiled even brighter when she heard others complimenting her beautiful face. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was very useful. This aroused a lot of joking from others. Even Jiang Yuyao, who had just taken off her red hijab, also used red Cover your mouth with a veil.
After entering the new house, she changed her self-identity, and spoke to a few people unconsciously with a hint of intimacy, which was enough to show that there was still a bit of friendship between her and Qu Shaoya and others.
Cheng Xi never thought that there was a member of the royal family in this small group.
"I haven't seen you for so many days, and you're still so shameless."
"Who is shameless?"
Lu Xuehan put her hands on her hips, "I haven't been out for a few months, but you have made such a beautiful girl behind my back? Do you still think of me as a friend?"
"Who asked you to live in the palace permanently? If you were in the princess's mansion, you would definitely not miss these gatherings."
"Oh~ I can't help it."
"You are so favored by the Holy One. You are showing off in front of us!"
"You saw it!"
The rest:
Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi:
As expected, people who are familiar with Qu Shaoya have different personalities.
A few people laughed and joked a few words, and finally brought the topic to the bride. After all, Cheng Xi was married. After greeting a few people, Cuizhu took Mrs. Xunhou there, while Shen Xingqi took Mrs. Xunhou. Looking forward to staying in the new house.
***
The female guests chatted lively, but little did they know that the male guests in the front yard had been completely distracted by the fruit wine on the table.
The fruit wine is naturally a special supply from the Qin family, and it is brought out today to be the first shot to open up sales.
When the maids and servants filled the wine glasses for everyone, many people smelled an overbearing fragrance entering their noses. The aroma of the wine also contained a few hints of fruit. The aroma was mellow and strong, attracting several glances from those who were speaking. sight.
"What smells so good?"
"It seems like the smell of wine!"
There is no man who doesn't love wine. Even if he doesn't love it at first, the old men and young men who are accustomed to life in the Dayan family will gradually change their attitude towards wine, not to mention that drinking is an indispensable part of dinner table culture.
Just the aroma of wine floating in the air is enough to shake this small field.
The first person to notice something strange was an alcoholic and one of Marquis Wu'an's subordinates. At this time, he was drinking the fruit wine in the cup with a full beard and let out a loud sigh of praise.
"Good wine, good wine!"
After saying this, he felt that he was not satisfied with drinking from the small wine glass, so he directly took the small pot closest to him and poured himself a large glass, followed by a sip.
"Enjoyed, hahahaha, have another pot!"
"Does it really smell like wine?"
Everyone still didn't understand. Driven by his neatness, they all picked up the small wine glass next to them and tried it. The moment the mellow aroma entered their mouths, they were instantly beautiful.
