Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 498 Xiao Wu’s Marriage (2)
Originally, the old man thought that Mrs. Xi Guogong's old lady was just here for a formality. After all, this old man is over ninety years old, so how dare she work for her old man.The day before he didn't want to add a make-up ceremony, a large group of distinguished female guests were ushered in at the Duke's Mansion.The leader is naturally the old lady of Duke Xi's mansion. From the old lady down, almost all of Mr. Xi's wives, wives, and young ladies have come.If Du Heng and Xiao Ze hadn't come to help early, the old and young dukes in Zhen Guo's mansion would have been overwhelmed. These two have never received so many female relatives in their combined lives.

Even though the old man is old, it is not convenient for him to stay in the back house. He has to retreat with his grandson and grandson-in-law, and Du Heng is the only one left in the back house to greet a dozen people from Xi Guo's mansion. The female family member, fortunately, she has experience in handling the three rites of brother-in-law Yuan's son, so she didn't rush around.

Mrs. Xi Guogong sits firmly at the head, her body is straight, her eyes are piercing, and her hair is full of silver hair, which is already faintly yellow. This is clearly the rhythm of turning from white to black. She doesn't look like someone in her 90s. The old man looks younger and energetic than her daughter-in-law, the old lady of Xi Guogong's mansion.

Du Heng and Wu Jingzhen stood in front of the old lady, Xi Guogong and the old lady said with a smile: "Girl Zhen, you are going to be a bride, sit down quickly, the seventh prince is a good boy, in the future, you and your husband will definitely marry each other." Will grow old in peace and beauty, come and bring up the make-up ceremony."

As soon as the old lady gave an order, a servant girl from Duke Xi's mansion came in carrying six rosewood boxes inlaid with inlaid tin.Feng Yanran, the eldest daughter of Duke Xi's mansion, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister Wu, we have a lot of families, and everyone has a gift of makeup, so I simply saved up six bags, each with a note on it. Son, sister will know when she is free."

Wu Jingzhen hurriedly got up to thank her, and the old lady of Duke Xiguo's mansion said with a smile: "Girl Zhen, you are a lucky one. Our ancestors liked you when they saw you. These things are not worth anything, but they are just our wishes. You She is about to be a bride, so there is no need to accompany her here, Xiao Qi, his mother, you are the last one to take care of people, these few days you help Zhen girl to tidy up, and I will definitely let Zhen girl be the most beautiful bride son." The latter part of the old lady's sentence was for her grandson and daughter-in-law, who is the current Mrs. Xi Guogong.

Mrs. Xi Guogong's wife, Mrs. Yu, came forward with a smile and replied: "Yes, the grandson and daughter-in-law are following the orders of the ancestors, and must do their best to dress Jingzhen like a fairy."

No matter how generous Wu Jingzhen was, she couldn't stand being teased and joked by so many women. Her face turned red instantly, and she was too ashamed to look up.Yu Shi took her daughter-in-law, surrounded Wu Jingzhen and went to her embroidery room first.On the surface, Mrs. Yu is helping Wu Jingzhen clean up. In fact, she also shoulders another extremely important mission, which is to teach Wu Jingzhen about men and women.Poor Wu Jingzhen doesn't have any close female elders, no one can educate her before marriage.

After Wu Jingzhen left, Du Heng saluted and thanked the old lady again. The old lady was also very close to Du Heng, and happily let Du Heng sit beside her, took Du Heng's hand and said with a smile: "Good boy, the old lady said You are very blessed, and this has all come true. It’s strange that you and girl Zhen are on good terms, both of you are blessed and have great fortune.”

Du Heng only thought that the old lady was speaking politely, but he didn't know that this old lady was different from others, what she said never came to nothing, everything became the truth.She and Wu Jingzhen are indeed blessed in the future, they can be regarded as one of the best blessed people in Daliang.

That night, Mrs. Xi Guogong's old lady rested in Zhen Guogong's mansion. Early the next morning, several generals' wives who were close to Zhen Guogong's mansion came to add makeup to Wu Jingzhen.When I went to the second gate, it was the third young lady of Prince Ning's mansion who greeted the guests. They were slightly surprised, and when they entered the inner hall, they saw the energetic and childlike Xi Guogong sitting in the hall. Madam and Madam, everyone couldn't hold back the shock anymore, and it all showed on their faces.

Mrs. Xi Guogong's old lady is like a human being. When she sees the queen mother, she doesn't say goodbye. Princess Yijie presided over the makeup ceremony.Because the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi's reputation is really not obvious, so no one thought that this was a way of honor for him.

"Old ancestor, why are you presiding over the makeup ceremony for Princess Yijie?" An outspoken lady asked with a smile after saluting.

The old lady said with a smile: "Girl Zhen is most devoted to the eyes of the old man. This is a big event in the girl's life. How can the old man not come?"

Since the founding of the country until now, Xiguo's mansion has been passed down for more than a hundred years. Instead of showing any sign of decline, it is thriving and prospering day by day. Therefore, all the relatives and dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty are unwilling to have a good relationship with Xiguo.Even for the sake of this old ancestor, they have to add three points to the make-up ceremony, so all the ladies are busy quietly taking off the most expensive jewelry they wear and adding it to the make-up ceremony that was originally prepared , so as not to look too simplistic.

Half a day later, the news that Mrs. Xi Guogong personally presided over the makeup ceremony for Princess Yijie spread in the capital, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion became even more lively. Many people had no intention of coming to add makeup to Miss Wu People from all walks of life rushed to the door, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion was very lively for a while, which somewhat diluted the shadow of the crown prince being deposed.

Seeing so many people coming to add make-up to herself, Wu Jingzhen was not happy but worried, she quietly said to Du Heng: "Ah Heng, this is too lively, I'm afraid there is something wrong."

But Du Heng smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, the old lady has already communicated with the palace for this move, and it will definitely not affect brother-in-law." Speaking of the word brother-in-law, Du Heng blinked playfully, and then Wu Jingzhen blushed and said angrily, "Ah Heng, you are getting narrower and narrower now. I will ask my brother-in-law how I taught you to be like this!"

Du Heng blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I am me, what does it have to do with him?"

Wu Jingzhen immediately smiled and said: "He? Who is he? I remember someone said in my ear that her mother-in-law would leave after giving birth. Who said that? I can't bear it now, right? "

Du Heng was ashamed, stared at Wu Jingzhen angrily and shouted: "Bad sister, I ignore you..."

It was rare for Wu Jingzhen to see Du Heng so coquettish, she just hugged Du Heng and smiled, and anxious Du Heng stretched out his hand to scratch Wu Jingzhen's itchy spot. There was a commotion, and they rolled onto Wu Jingzhen's Babu bed with openwork carvings and flowers. Silver bell-like laughter floated out of the window, making the eyes of Yangmei who was guarding the porch red, and she hurriedly covered her face and began to cry silently.
