Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 541
Under the bright early summer sun, eight handsome men in bright yellow came running like lightning from the bluestone road with pomegranate trees on both sides.

Li Huan's eyes were dazzled by the bright yellow court clothes, he turned around and ran away, waving in the direction of Yueqing Courtyard and shouting: "The relatives have sneaked in, quickly close the courtyard door!"

Li Huan entered the gate with his front foot, Li Yunqing, Li Yunxiao, He Jiye, and Li Yunfei ran along the path and entered with their back feet, and then closed the gate of Yueqing Courtyard tightly with a bang.

According to the custom of the Ding Dynasty, the bride should wear a red hijab and be carried on the sedan chair by her elder brother or younger brother. Before the sedan chair, the face cannot be seen by the greeters.

The brothers of the Li family entered Yueqing Court first, and did not let the eight members of the royal family succeed, they all burst out laughing triumphantly.

Li Yunfei was young, and he ran out of breath and said: "Brother Prince is really cunning, he sneaked in with Brother Hai and others while our brothers were searching for sedan chairs!"

The sedan chair for welcoming relatives must be parked with the sedan door facing outwards. Someone from the bride's family will light red candles and hold a mirror to take a look inside the sedan chair.

He Wu shouted: "Who told you to come up with such a difficult couplet?"

He Yang said loudly: "It's thanks to Uncle Ba that we got the couplet right, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get in the door now."

Knowing that Li Jingjing was in the yard, He Jingxin yelled loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to welcome you. My brother is waiting for you in the mansion, so hurry up and get on the sedan chair!"

Everyone laughed and shouted for Li Jingjing to get out of the yard quickly.

He Jingxin didn't hear Li Jingjing's voice, and shouted again: "Sister-in-law, my brother has been waiting for you for several years, you should get out of the yard and get on the sedan chair!"

Li Qubing came from the main courtyard with Li Kun in his arms, and said to the eight members of the imperial family with a smile on his face: "The time has not come yet, my father sent me to invite everyone to a banquet."

The woman's family serves the banquet wine at noon, commonly known as "open noodles wine", also known as "marriage wine".

He Jingxin said solemnly: "I'm going to wait for my sister-in-law here. I won't eat."

He Jinghai looked at He Yiyang who was smiling evilly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master, please, you and I go over to have a few glasses of wine first, and then how many of them go to eat?"

He Yiyang deliberately shouted towards the courtyard door: "Little fat man, are you hungry just now after blocking the door for a long time, do you want me to bring you some sauced yak meat?" Then he took He Jinghai to the main courtyard.

The other six members of the royal family stayed behind to guard the courtyard gate.

Li Kun wanted to go into the yard to see his aunt, but he was afraid that the royal family would rush in, and when he returned to the main courtyard, he called his personal servants and asked them to carry a ladder to the backyard of Yueqing Court, and then let the servants carry him through the ladder Into the yard.

Li Yunqing and his three younger brothers were sitting in front of the courtyard and bickering with the six members of the royal family through the door. When they saw Li Kun, they were surprised: "My son, how did you get in?"

Li Kun giggled, threw himself into Li Yunqing's arms, and whispered: "Father, I'll let someone set up a ladder and climb in."

Li Yunqing hugged Li Kun and went to see Li Jingjing.

Li Kun was honored to sit on the fragrant Li Jingjing's lap, poked his head under the red handkerchief, saw her bride's face with makeup, clapped his hands excitedly and shouted: "Auntie is so beautiful."

Li Yunqing is an experienced person who has been married, and said softly: "Sister, hurry up and have some snacks, I will go there in a while, and I will have to wait until evening to eat."

Li Jingjing asked through the red handkerchief: "Brother, why don't you go to the front for dinner?"

Li Yunqing said softly: "We ate so much in the morning that we are not hungry."

Li Kun jumped off Li Jingjing's lap, ran out of the bedroom, found the servant, and asked him to get some food.

After a while, the four Li Yunqing brothers ate mellow wine and delicious meat.

The wind blew the smell of wine and meat out of the gate, the six members of the royal family smelled it, sniffed a few times, and noticed something was wrong, only then did they know that the people inside the gate had already eaten and drank.

Their original plan was to take turns to eat wine and banquets, guard the courtyard gate to prevent brother Li Yunqing from coming out, and let brother Li Yunqing go hungry.

Unexpectedly, this is the territory of Brother Li Yunqing, there are servants of the Li family everywhere, it is impossible to be hungry.

He Yiyang and He Jinghai hurried back after having dinner and wine, and asked the six of them to eat quickly.He Jingxin was determined not to go.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xiniang, who had been invited by Prince Qing's mansion to protect the matchmaker, appeared in front of the gate of Yueqing Court in a long red dress embroidered with iron, and asked loudly in a Tanzhou accent: "Is the bride in the house well dressed?" gone?"

The Li family brothers inside replied in unison: "It's not good."

Liu Xiniang waited for a while, and asked again, and got the same reply as above. She asked three times in total, which is commonly known as "make-up reminder", which means that the bride does not want to marry and miss her natal family.

"Sister-in-law, get dressed and come out of the yard, my brother really can't wait." He Jingxin was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Seeing He Jingxin's true feelings, He Jinghai pulled him aside to explain that this is a custom.

Although He Jingxin knew that this was the custom of this dynasty, he was extremely worried that Li Jingjing would not want to marry his eldest brother as his sister-in-law.

The three bear children of the He family, He Huishu, and the Qin family were surrounded by several servants, and the royal family finally followed them into the Yueqing courtyard.

Li Yunxiao opened his arms to stop He Yiyang and He Jinghai, and shouted: "You are not allowed to look at my sister!"

He Jiye and Li Yunfei stepped forward, one hugged He Jingxin's waist, and the other held his hand, preventing him from rushing into the bedroom.

He Shi and He Yiyang nodded slightly, signaling for him to take the royal family and Liu Xiniang to wait in the hall of the courtyard.

"My mother Jing, mother and your aunt are here." Shi He and He Huishu entered the room and closed the door.

Li Jingjing quickly lifted the red handkerchief, and couldn't help sobbing: "Mother, aunt."

"Mother is here to feed you." He Shi looked at the stunningly beautiful daughter, her eyes turned red, fearing that she would make her cry and put on make-up, so she hurriedly turned her head to open the food box that the servant put on the table, and brought out the food from inside , then sat down, beckoned and said: "Come on, sit on your mother's lap."

The custom of the Ding Dynasty is that a married daughter sits on the mother's lap, and the mother feeds the married daughter with sedan chair rice, implying not to forget the grace of nurturing.

Li Jingjing walked over, sat on He Shi's lap, and wrapped her arms around her neck, thinking that she had been fed her milk since she was born, received her meticulous care, and now she was going to leave her, tears welled up in her eyes.

Sitting aside, He Huishu wiped away tears, still said with a smile: "Today is a good day. My Jing Niang is married to King Yan, the world-famous military god and hero. My sister must laugh."

He held the bowl containing the food in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right hand, feeding his daughter bite by bite.Her tears fell in the meal.

Li Jingjing had just taken a few mouthfuls when He Jingxin, He Wu, He Hai and others urged her outside, and she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.
