Yan Cigui.

Fuguo government.

When Mrs. En Rongbo arrived, Xu Baigang had people set up the firecrackers.

Neighbors came to see it happily and expressed joy from time to time.

Speaking of which, the Xu family has a small population, so there are naturally fewer happy events. The last time they hung red silk was when Mrs. Xu came out of the cabinet 20 years ago.

Although the wedding day has not come yet, let's relax. No matter how little things the man has to do, it looks more lively than when he got married last year.

After all, when the imperial edict was issued, no firecrackers were hung.

Mrs. En Rongbo entered the flower hall and saw Xu Miao and Liu Ping waiting here, as well as Mrs. An Yibo who had arrived first.

On happy days, everyone smiles.

Mrs. En Rongbo saw Liu Ping for the first time. She couldn't help but look at her carefully and praised her: "What a handsome girl."

Uncle An Yi said, "You are indeed handsome. This dress is particularly flattering."

Liu Ping smiled.

Since there was still a little time left in the auspicious time, a few people sat down to have tea.

Mrs. Enrongbo is a talkative person: "When I came here, I passed by the gate of Chengyi Mansion. I was busy making preparations. The stone lions on the door plaque were polished."

Xu Miao laughed after hearing this: "We also wiped it, inside and outside."

As he was talking, footsteps came from outside.

Xu Miao turned to look at the door, and it was Xu Jian who came.

Not long after Xu Jian went to court, he hurried back to his house, changed his clothes, and packed everything. At first glance, he looked very energetic.

He came in, saluted, and said "Thank you" to Mrs. Enrong.

"It's not hard work," Mrs. En Rongbo said with a smile, "It's such a blessing and good thing, you can remember me, I can't even be happy."

It's almost time.

Mrs. An Yibo handed the gift list to Mrs. Enrongbo.

Mrs. Enrongbo received a bright red envelope from her master's family and took a sedan chair to leave the house.

Behind the sedan, the servants dressed in identical festive clothes followed one after another, carrying the wedding ceremony.

Outside the house, Xu Bai lit firecrackers, which crackled for a while, and the children who were watching the excitement clapped and shouted.

The Duke's office is not stingy at all when it comes to handling affairs.

Xu Bai took the lead and shared the wedding candies with the stewards. Many people came to join in the fun. After receiving the candies, they hurried away to get another one outside Uncle Chengyi's house.

The sound of firecrackers came in and could be heard in the front yard.

Xu Miao listened and looked at the yard that was originally filled with most of the boxes and cages but was now empty, and felt deeply for a while.

Almost involuntarily, my mind was filled with many other pictures.

She also organized a "Fang Xiao Ding" not long ago. The rules of the Ding etiquette are definitely not comparable to this one, but she presided over it and did it wholeheartedly.

Married Zheng Liu for Xun'er.

Judging from the result, it was not a good marriage, but when discussing the marriage, as a mother, Xu Miao went into it with care and expectations.

I look forward to a happy marriage between my son and daughter-in-law, and that they can work together in the future...

However, it was not achieved at all.

Xu Miao subconsciously looked at Mrs. An Yibo.

Fortunately, this time Ah Jian's marriage was mostly hosted by An Yibo and Mrs. Bo, and she herself was a helper.

She cannot bring her bad luck to A Jian and the princess.

At the same time, Xu Miao could not help but think that the last time the Duke's Mansion organized a happy event was her time...

So many years have passed and things have changed.

Liu Ping stood next to her mother and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

She felt that her mother's mood was ups and downs.

Mrs. An Yibo didn't seem to notice it. My uncle was straight-tempered, and Mrs. Anyi didn't seem to be good at reading reserved emotions. It wasn't surprising that she couldn't tell.

Liu Ping understood Xu Miao best and could understand every slightest sign of trouble.

Involuntarily, she held her mother's hand with some strength and called out again: "Mom, I heard that the princess likes sweets. Are the snack boxes sent from our kitchen sweet enough?"

When Xu Miao heard this, most of the emotion in her heart dissipated.

"When there is a banquet in Uncle Chengyi's house, we have to use the snacks sent to entertain the guests," Xu Miao said, "How can you make it so sweet?"

Xu Miao could guess more or less the guests coming to the woman's place for dinner.

The old ladies in the neighborhood and the in-laws talked about it, and many of them were elderly. If they added more sugar, they would not dare to eat it at all.

The topic was brought up, and Liu Ping felt relieved.

In the other compartment, Mrs. Enrongbo's sedan chair passed through the streets and alleys.

The man sent the wedding gift to the woman's home, which was far less lively and beautiful than the wedding ceremony. But after all, it was the wedding between the prince and the princess, so the pomp and circumstance was unusual, and it still attracted many people to follow the procession.

It's a nice day today, the sun is out and there are some thin clouds, so you can see things clearly without being dazzling.

The lid of the box is open, and you can see the good things on the top floor. Most of them are gold objects, which make the little bit of sunlight shine brightly. If there is really no clouds at all, you may have to close your eyes to see through.

The team entered the alley where Chengyi's residence was located.

Linton waited eagerly, and the boy who was waiting at the entrance of the alley came running back. After a few gestures, he happily clicked on the lead.

Soon, the sound of firecrackers here also went off, and it spread all the way to the house.

In the Zai Shou Courtyard, Nanny Ruan pricked up her ears: "I think you heard me, right?"

When Xiao Duan heard the words, she quickly became serious. She didn't listen enough, so she urged the young maids to go to the yard.

"We old ladies are almost deaf. If you are smart, go and listen carefully."

Qing Ling went out with a smile, listened for a while, and shouted to Xiao Duan through the window: "Old madam, that's right, the wedding gift has been delivered."

Xiao Duan's eyes turned into slits with laughter: "Go to Bao'an Garden and let me know."

In Bao'an Garden, the sound was heard without anyone noticing.

Lin Yunfang was even more nervous than Lin Yunyan, with a bright red face. She muttered to Lin Yunjing: "Is the rouge on the second sister's face lighter? Do you need to add more lipstick? Did you use less perfume?"

Lin Yunjing asked her to mutter like this, making her laugh and cry. He wanted her to relax, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't hold back and joked: "If your second brother-in-law is not here today, don't worry that it will be a bit indifferent."

Lin Yunfang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a burning face: "It makes sense."

The sound of firecrackers stopped.

Mrs. Enrongbo first went to Zaishouyuan to say auspicious words to Xiao Duan, and then the group came to Bao'an Garden with boxes and cages.

Lin Yunyan sat on the Arhat bed, behaved.

The originally spacious room was quickly filled up. Mrs. En Rongbo looked at Lin Yunyan, bent her eyes and smiled, and she could no longer hold back her smile.

What a beautiful lady to be married to.

Mrs. Bo has watched Lin Yunyan grow up, from a little white jade dumpling to a graceful lady. She has long known that this girl has outstanding appearance, and she will not be as surprised as she was when she first saw Liu Ping.

Even so, she would praise Lin Yunyan for being so beautiful and eye-catching today.

An idea came to mind.

She thought, Fu Guo Gong was really a blessing, even she, an elder who was used to seeing it, was happy. If she really waits for the day when she wears the red wedding dress and lifts the red hijab, will the Duke be able to blink?
Yes, Mrs. Enrongbo also remembered something.The success of this marriage was also due to her youngest son's contribution.

Xia Qinglue said in the imperial study room, "The Duke of the country likes the princess."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bo couldn't help but secretly complain about her younger son. Why could the Duke Fu, who was sympathetic to his siblings, offer such a good marriage, but why couldn't he offer his real siblings a wonderful wife?
It seems that the brothers are too showy, making the younger brother unable to find a target even if he wants to express "who he likes".

If this doesn't work, she needs to discuss it with her mother-in-law. After that, she will look at girls of the right age when she has the chance. There are only so many good girls, and the ones who are procrastinating are all settled by others.

Of course, the princess's small betrothal gift is the most important thing at the moment.

The auspicious words came one after another, and there was constant laughter and laughter in the room.

The most precious piece of the wedding ceremony was presented to her, including gold hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Mrs. Enrongbo put them on Lin Yunyan carefully while speaking her congratulations.

After all, he has grown up in fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. So many precious things not only do not overwhelm people, but also make his skin as white as snow, his eyebrows and eyes as picturesque, and full of nobility.

"It's incredible, it's really incredible," Mrs. Enrongbo turned to look at Mr. Duan, "Why are you willing to marry her off?"

Xiao Duan laughed so hard that her eyes were a little red: "Ask her if she wants to get married?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Enrongbo hurriedly came to ask Lin Yunyan: "Will you marry me or not?"

Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip, accepted the joke, and said with a smile: "If no one else will marry, I will marry Duke Fu."

It’s so generous and generous, but who can’t help but laugh?

Lin Yunfang also laughed.

She thought, the rouge is not light, the lipstick does not need to be replenished, and the most beautiful thing among the laughter and laughter is her second sister.

After completing all the etiquette, the group headed to the front. Here in Bao'an Garden, only in-laws and friends who came to have dinner came one after another to see Lin Yunyan and praise her.

This compartment was not empty until there was a banquet ahead.

Lin Yunyan moved her slightly swollen neck.

Her face also froze when she smiled, but she couldn't rub it with her hands. She could still move her cheeks to slow it down.

The wedding booklet was left with her, and Lin Yunyan opened it and read it, involuntarily comparing it with her previous wedding book in her mind.

In terms of time, many years have passed, and it is impossible for her to remember clearly, but a little bit of recollection and a little bit of thinking is also a kind of fun, and she enjoys it.

Wan Yue came to ask her: "Do you want to try the snack box I sent?"

Lin Yunyan nodded.

Wan Yue took several kinds and put them on a saving plate and brought them up.

Lin Yunyan took a piece of kidney bean cake and took a bite. It was not very sweet, but after another sip, it was quite fragrant.

In the flower hall, there was a lively banquet. Mrs. Enrongbo had a few glasses of wine and left first.

She still had to go back to Fu Guogong's mansion to recover her life, so she couldn't waste time.

She was slightly tipsy, and she squinted briefly on the sedan chair for a while. When she entered the Duke's Mansion, the smell of alcohol had dissipated, but she was still a little tipsy.

"Such a beautiful lady to be married," Mrs. Bo walked up to Xu Miao, "I was fascinated by her."

Xu Miao couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to Xu Jian, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Jian cleared her throat and did not answer the question.

The little princess is indeed good-looking, he has always known it.

He still had a straight face, but he heard Madam Uncle say something else.

"I asked her if she wanted to marry," said Mrs. Enrong, "and she said, 'If no one else will marry, Duke Fu will marry me.' Oops, I even made her blush."

Xu Jian was stunned for a moment.

This was indeed what Lin Yunyan would say, and Xu Jian could even picture the little princess's expression in her mind when she said this.

But the clearer he sketched it, the louder the heartbeat in his chest became.

One after another, deafening.

In the end, he really didn't suppress it, and the smile overflowed from his eyes, fell to the corners of his lips, and curved.

She is truly worthy of being a little princess. She can't pass the show if she puts on a show, but she bluffs the whole place anyway.

Even he was frightened.

The day after Xiao Ding was released, he had to go to the palace to express his gratitude.

When Lin Yunyan arrived outside Cining Palace, she happened to meet Xu Jian coming towards her.

Xu Jian just went down to court. He was still wearing court clothes and didn't walk very fast.

Lin Yunyan was not in a hurry to go in, and just waited on the corridor.

Suddenly, she remembered the past.

The real first time she ever recalled.

It was also on this corridor that she watched Xu Jian's wheelchair pass the threshold along the wooden board.

Thinking about it this way, now is indeed very different from before.

After a brief greeting, the two of them went in together, and Eunuch Yu welcomed them until they arrived in front of the Empress Dowager.

The empress seemed to be in a good mood. The maid put down the mat, and Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian knelt down to salute.

It's not complicated or grand. When the meaning comes, the Queen Mother shouts "get up".

"I don't dare to ask you to kneel any longer," she laughed at Lin Yunyan, "Kneel down a little longer. Yun Yan tilted her body first for the Aijia to pretend."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall laughed.

This was not an unjust accusation against the princess. She had kowtowed after she had been granted a marriage, and in the presence of the Holy Lord, the princess immediately turned around and clearly stated "I feel sorry for Duke Fu" and "I was just pretending" on her face.

Lin Yunyan was not afraid of being laughed at, so she stood up and said to the Empress Dowager: "You really understand me."

The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded.

She had said a lot of things that needed to be explained before. The Empress Dowager picked out a few words to mention the ramblings about the ceremony, and then let the two of them find a place to talk on their own.

The place is still the same, in the pavilion in the small garden.

Less than the father-in-law brought tea, but still retreated far away.

Xu Jian took a sip of tea and said, "We have already hired someone to polish the white jade horse crane. It will be ready and sent to Cining Palace in a few days."

Lin Yunyan responded, but when Xu Jian asked, "Can the wedding date be changed?", she gave him a surprised look.

The wedding date has not been set yet, so naturally it cannot be called a "change".

Therefore, the word "change" refers to the previous wedding date - the beginning of spring next year.

"I don't know," Lin Yunyan said, "It doesn't count even if I say so."

This was what Xu Jian made fun of her last time. She didn't mean to spend every penny, but it was the truth.

Lin Yunyan didn't care whether she changed or not. She was marrying Xu Jian anyway, and it would be the same for the first half of the year and the second half of the year. However, the Empress Dowager had considerations.

The empress was very conscientious in choosing the auspicious day of the zodiac, otherwise the day of releasing Xiao Ding would not have been postponed to yesterday, but would have been done as early as spring.

"Unless I can find a good day that I like more," Lin Yunyan said, looking at Xu Jian, "Why did you think of changing it?"

"I have to borrow my wife's place to talk to you," Xu Jian said in a calm tone, "A white jade horse hanging is simple, but I don't know what other good things to give later."
