The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 132 The Grand Wedding

wedding.

Yesterday, the Qiao family had already moved to a new residence, and today the Qiao family will usher in a new mistress.The wife lined up with all the prostitutes in two lines, and stood at the door waiting for Ye Duanyi's sedan chair to arrive.Qiao Shaotang was wearing a groom's attire, and looked extraordinarily energetic, but there was no joy in his eyes.It seemed that marrying Ye Duanyi didn't make him happy.

"The sedan chair is here." Qiao Liuxiu whispered from the side, and sure enough, she saw Xi Niang trotting over with a group of people, followed by a group of big red sedan chairs.The onlookers felt that it was General Ye who married his daughter. This bride was a first-class bride in the capital, and the bridal sedan chair was several times more expensive than that of ordinary families.Listening to the horn and suona played by the guard of honor, it is very different from the ordinary people on the side.

"Ask the new son-in-law to kick the sedan chair door." Xi Niang stood still and gave Qiao Shaotang a little blessing. The wife had asked Qiao Shaotang to tell Qiao Shaotang all the etiquette at the wedding before, knowing that he didn't want to marry Ye Duanyi, but this time There is no reason to refuse a family marriage. Besides, since it is going to be done, everything must be done according to etiquette. If it offends the gods, it will be bad.Qiao Shaotang handed a red envelope to Xi Niang according to what his mother taught him yesterday.Xi Niang took the red envelope with a smile, not to mention that the Qiao family is really a big family, and the red envelopes are sold much more than ordinary families.

After getting Xi Niang's permission, Qiao Shaotang walked to the door of the sedan chair, raised his foot and lightly kicked the sedan chair door, and then took two steps back.Xi Niang hurriedly greeted her with a smiling face, helped Ye Duanyi off the sedan chair, and let her lean on her shoulders. According to the regulations, she had to carry Ye Duanyi all the way to the wing room. This was physical work, otherwise It was too easy for her to accept the red envelope just now.

After welcoming the bride into the door, the wife greets the guests to enter the door.Although the Qiao family had just settled down in the capital, there were quite a few friends who came to the wedding, and most of them were friends from the officialdom.Master Qiao has recently been promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He has a lot of money and power, and the young lady of the Qiao family has become a noble concubine in the palace. It is said that his favor is in full bloom. Naturally, many people want to curry favor. Today is a good time.

Because there were too many people who came to congratulate, and my wife couldn't handle it, so I had to ask other concubine girls to help me greet them. This job didn't have any technical content, it was just a small talk and a few cute words.

"Ninth sister, congratulations." Ye Yulang finally found Qiao Jiuxiu in the crowd, and hurried over.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded to Ye Yulang, and then said a word of joy and joy, Ye Duanyi married into Qiao's family, and they will be a family with their Ye family in the future, so it is natural to get close to each other.But when she thought of Ye Yulang's confession to herself before, her face was still a little hot.

Ye Yulang is a good person, but he can only be friends.Probably seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's embarrassment, Ye Yulang also felt that he was impulsive that day, and he didn't say those words at the best time, which made Qiao Jiuxiu abrupt. "Ninth sister is still thinking about what happened last time. I was the one who said something outrageous last time. I'm here to apologize to you today."

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, she was not that stingy, and Ye Yulang's apology could be considered sincere. "Second Young Master Ye, let's not talk so much today, we should be going to worship soon, let's join in the fun. You know, I haven't seen anyone get married yet."

Ye Yulang nodded, and came to the main hall with Qiao Jiuxiu, it was a coincidence that the new couple was paying their respects.After Xi Niang greeted his wife and General Ye to sit down, she asked someone to bring the bride out.Ye Duanyi lowered her head slightly, and her red hijab covered her pretty face. Although she couldn't see it, Qiao Jiuxiu could imagine that Ye Duanyi must be very beautiful today.

"This wedding gown was made by Ninth Sister." Ye Yulang sighed beside him, "It's really beautiful. I participated in the wedding of Prince Pingxi's son some time ago, and that wedding dress was not as ingenious as Ninth Sister's."

Hearing such compliments, Qiao Jiuxiu smiled a little embarrassedly, although Ye Duanyi also said before that this wedding dress is much more beautiful than any wedding dress in any tailor shop in the capital.But being praised by Ye Yulang like this, she still felt a little elated. "If Mr. Ye likes it, I can help you make some small things when you get married."

Ye Yulang nodded, saying that it was settled.

"The newlyweds bow to heaven and earth." Seeing that the auspicious time has come, Xi Niang announced the new couple's worship.Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi bowed slightly to the full house of guests.

"The newcomers pay their respects to Gaotang." The two turned around, bowed to their wife and General Ye, and then offered tea to the two elders.

"Husband and wife pray to each other, Licheng," Xi Niang smiled, and then asked people to send Ye Duanyi back to the room.Qiao Jiuxiu murmured in her heart, based on her previous experience, isn't she going to be sent to the bridal chamber next?How come there is no response so far?It was only after I took a look outside that I realized that the etiquette of this era was different, and the sun was still shining outside, so it would be too early to enter the bridal chamber now.

After the worship, the wife invited everyone to sit down. According to Qiao Jiuxiu's status, she couldn't sit at the main table, but could only sit at the second table with other concubines.Only distinguished guests such as the master, wife and General Ye have the opportunity to sit in the chief seat.Qiao Jiuxiu said goodbye to Ye Yulang, and then walked towards the second seat. If the meeting delayed the opening of the seat, it would be a big sin.But I saw Ruyi trotting all the way over, probably because of her haste, she was faintly out of breath.

"Miss Nine, Madam asked you to go over and join her at the main table." Ruyi let out a slight breath and calmed down her breathing.Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes widened, why didn't she understand what Ruyi said just now?

The wife actually let herself sit at the head table?
"Miss Nine, what are you still doing in a daze, go over quickly, the banquet is about to start over there." Ruyi said again, Qiao Jiuxiu finally realized, and followed Ruyi to the direction of the main table.

"Sixth Sister, Madam let Qiao Jiuxiu go, but not you. What's the reason?" She has confirmed her status as the number one concubine of the Qiao Mansion.Qiao Liuxiu turned her head to the side, trying to warn herself not to get angry, but eating at the same table with her wife, so it's no big deal.She is in power now, but one day, she will take back everything that belongs to her.

"Let's just have a good meal, Fifth Sister, please don't say a few words." Qiao Shanxiu saw that the atmosphere was not good, so she said hastily.Qiao Qixiu sighed lightly, Qiao Jiuxiu is favored now, but it doesn't mean that the wife will let Qiao Jiuxiu be the number one concubine of Qiao's mansion.One must know that the wife was bullied by the sixth aunt back then, so how could she reuse her daughter now?
Although there was some unpleasantness during the meeting, the happy atmosphere of the wedding continued.After the meal, Qiao Shaotang first said auspicious words to everyone according to what the mother had taught, and then went to the east chamber where Ye Duanyi was.Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her voice and asked Ye Yulang who was on the side, if there was any show about the bridal chamber, you must know that the bridal chamber is the most interesting thing.

"Ninth Sister, you have to wait two hours for the bridal chamber. A moment in the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars. Give them some time to be alone. And you don't have to look forward to the bridal chamber, because girls who have not left the court cannot participate."

"Ah?" Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, how could it be like this?It was really disappointing, she hoped that she could have a bridal chamber, but she didn't expect such a result.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's disappointed expression, Ye Yulang felt that she looked more and more cute, so he strongly restrained the throbbing in his heart, so he could only half-jokingly say, "It's okay, when the time comes, I'll help you too."

Qiao Jiuxiu could only shrug her shoulders, and that was the only way to go.

Ye Duanyi was sitting in the guest room in the East Wing, but her heart was in a state of agitation. She was wearing a red head cover, and she could only see a hazy piece. Indeed, everything was like a dream. Haven't woken up yet, still in a dream.

Suddenly hearing footsteps from far to near, Ye Duanyi's heart suddenly rose to her throat.Wei Wei swallows her saliva, is he here?
Qiao Shaotang approached and lifted the red hijab with a bamboo pole. Ye Duanyi slowly raised his head, nodded slightly with a smile, his face was full of embarrassment.

"You are very beautiful today." Qiao Shaotang had never seen such a beautiful Ye Duanyi before, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Ye Duanyi buried her head even lower, seeing Qiao Shaotang sitting beside her, she subconsciously hid to the side .

Xi Niang reckoned that the time should be about the same, so she walked in gracefully. She didn't want to disturb the couple's spring night, but there are some things that are not done, and etiquette is not enough.If there is any mistake in the future, it will not be worth it. "Invite the newlyweds to drink and share wine, and walk together from generation to generation."

After finishing speaking, a maid came over to bring two glasses of wine, Qiao Shaotang made a gesture of love to Ye Duanyi, and then the two of them crossed their necks and drank the glass of wine.

Xi Niang asked the maid to take away the general, and then sprinkled some red dates, peanuts and millet on the bed. According to tradition, this is called the Six Harmony Formation. It is said that with this formation, the Qiao family will soon be born again. Four generations of little lives, when the time comes, the four generations will live under the same roof, and others will definitely be envious.

Xi Niang saw that all the things she should do were almost finished, so she took the maid and retreated.Ye Duanyi gave Qiao Shaotang a shy look. Qiao Shaotang raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, then got up and pulled down the curtain beside the bed.

Although there will still be people coming to make trouble in the bridal chamber later, but a moment in Chunxiao is worth a thousand dollars, and some things are just right to do now.
