Beautiful step by step

Chapter 22

The two people's wedding was scheduled on the seventh day of the seventh month, which coincided with the Qiqiao Festival, and it was also Wei Wei's 15th birthday, and it was also an auspicious day chosen after King Duan ordered Qin Tianjian to combine the horoscope.

From engagement to marriage, only a short month.Wei Wei was already mentally prepared to become busy, but early in the morning of the second day of engagement, he handed her a list of guests for the banquet.Distinguished guests such as King Duan, Prince Zhenbei Hou, all the soldiers of the same generation, including the army robes, the shopkeeper and staff of the Wei family's rice shop, none of the people who should be invited were left behind.

Wei Wei's most troublesome guest problem was solved, and she took the pen to write the invitation card.The little guy followed her and watched earnestly, and when he met someone he knew well, he was quick to go.As each letter of invitation was written, she gradually got to know Yan Heng's life.

There is a mutual market in the place where the Northwest Army is stationed, and there are often businessmen from the North and the South.Yan Heng is open-minded by nature, he doesn't care about background and social status when making friends, but only looks at character, and he usually reaches out to help people when they are in trouble.In this way, he gradually made many friends, and she met Chen Boan and Qian Treasurer all acquainted in this way.

The more she knew, the more she admired Yan Heng, and she was very solemn when writing the invitation.When he was going to be busy with other things after finishing writing, Yan Heng had already arranged banquets, residences, wedding halls, and even the special one for the family of the public servants who had been invited by his wife.In just a few days, he had already managed everything in a way that couldn't be more appropriate.After the pleasant surprise, she realized that Yan Heng's drunken remark on the night of the engagement, "I'm the one to deal with the guests at the banquet", was not because he was a dead duck who had been provoked by the prince, but because he had the ability to treat her with all his heart.

With a sweet heart, she leisurely practices boxing and teaching every day, puts on makeup when she is doing nothing, and looks at her beauty in front of the mirror.The leisurely and comfortable days passed by like flowing water. If it wasn't for the wedding dress trial in early July, she would have almost forgotten that she was about to get married.

Yesterday's autumn rain washed away the summer heat of the autumn tiger. On the morning of the seventh day of July, when the sky was bright, Wei Wei was awakened by the sound of walking outside.Her right eyelid twitched, and her chest felt tight. She always felt that something bad was about to happen.Thinking of today's Jiji and marriage ceremonies being held together, there are so many people involved and it is easy to make mistakes, so she got up and went to the courtyard.

There are lanterns and festoons in the courtyard, a red and festive color.Gu Yu was in the middle, directing the servant girl to move the tables and chairs to set up refreshments, and rushed to greet her when she went out.

"Why does the girl come out wearing such thin clothes? What if she catches a cold?"

Wei Wei pressed her right eyelid, which was jumping faster and faster, and shook her head: "It's okay to cover the autumn in spring, and it's cooler in autumn. There are so many things today, can you be busy?"

Gu Yu patted her chest: "If I was alone, no matter how long my hands are, I wouldn't be able to handle it. But now there are so many people, it's more than enough to do this kind of work. Girl, the people sent by the son can really do the work."

Following Gu Yu's gaze, Wei Wei looked at the busy maidservants.One of them hugged a stack of cushions above his head, his feet felt windy, but his behavior did not show any panic.The same is true for the rest of the people, who work neatly.

These people were sent by the eldest son, he had previously promised to hold a wedding ceremony for her in the Hou's mansion, and send her a beautiful marriage.But a few days after the engagement, Mrs. Wu's fetal gas suddenly became unstable. After the Wu family invited the imperial physician to see her, she said that she had to rest carefully.The Wu family is very powerful, so he can only settle for the next best thing. On that day, Jiji will personally come to the courtyard to be her guest of honor.

Wei Wei didn't care, she didn't want to take advantage of the Houfu's influence.Besides, there is a decent girl in the Hou's mansion, so who is she, the former servant girl and the righteous sister whom the present son secretly recognizes?Wu shi really thinks too much, even if she is not so "delicate" and "pregnant", she will find an excuse to decline the prince's kindness.Now she intervenes, and instead sends her a few capable servant girls.Wei's mother said that these maids were carefully selected and trained by the tooth shop, and they were specially sold to wealthy families.Small households like them won't sell them even if they pay double the price.

"Our place is small, and the layout is just the same. It would be great if the girl could get married in the Hou's mansion. It's all to blame for the wife of the prince. Is the girl hindering her? Fortunately, the old lady came here today, and there is an old man here. Outsiders Don’t dare to chew your tongue.”

Seeing her young lady staring at them with dazed faces, Gu Yu was indignant.Mrs. Shizi doesn't like someone as nice as her girl, so how careful she must be.

Wei Wei was helpless, she had overcorrected.For more than half a month, Gu Yu has followed the two "everythings": whatever her daughter does is right, even if it's not right, it's someone else's fault.

"Gu Yu, I never thought of getting married in the Hou's Mansion. The Hou's Mansion is too rich, our family is considered a little rich at best, and clinging hard will only make people laugh."

Just when she wanted to mention Gu Yu a few more words, she saw Chu San wandering outside the door.Seeing her looking over, he quickly lowered his head, with a guilty expression on his face.

"I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to come today."

Sighing inwardly, she ordered Gu Yu to invite people in.

Walking up to her, Chu San lowered his head so low that he could not lower his voice, and his voice was a little cautious: "Girl Hong, the Marquis of Weiyuan came to announce the good news, saying that the second young lady who married at the beginning of the year found out that she was pregnant. , I miss my family very much, and I want to ask the old lady to come and visit me."

Wei's mother had just gotten dressed and found out about it when she stepped out of the room.Annoyed, she said indiscriminately: "I don't know when Sister Xian was so close to the old lady."

"mother!"

Wei Wei hurriedly interrupted Wei's mother, and sighed inwardly, the serious girl in the Hou's mansion really didn't like it.She is not a temper tantrum, but she scores points in everything.It's just a so-called concubine daughter of the Hou's mansion. After they pass this time, the Hou's mansion will never help outsiders bully their own girls.But once they took a step back, the old lady who was put together would never swallow this breath.

After she figured it out, she ordered Gu Yu to take a jade Guanyin pendant, and handed it to Chu San with a soft complexion: "My mother is straightforward, the second young lady's happiness is a great joy for the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Go to the house to visit. As the saying goes, men bring Guanyin and women bring Buddha, but we small households can't produce any good things, so please give this piece of jade to the old lady, and it should all be used as a prestige for the girl."

Seeing her covering everything, Chu San, who was already embarrassed, wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.Taking a step forward, he looked around and said in a low voice: "Mom also knows that Sister Xian got along very well with Mrs. Shizi before she got married, and the old lady is helpless about today's matter. Don't panic, Shizi knew about this early in the morning. I have already gone to find other parents. He asked me to tell my mother, so that the girl's event will not be delayed."

Mother Wei breathed a sigh of relief, went into the room and took out a book, wrapped it in a red cloth and handed it over, smilingly said: "This book was used by Shizi when he was enlightened when he was young. I heard that Shizi's wife needs to rest, so I think it can be used."

Chu San was a little confused, Wei's mother was not a doughy kind person.Why was she slapped in the face today, and she even sent old things to help Madam.Although Chu San was at a loss, but seeing her resolute expression, he had no choice but to accept her.

After Chu San left, Wei Wei, who was also puzzled, asked, "What does Mother mean by sending that book?"

Mother Wei looked to the west, her eyes were terrified: "That book was indeed used by my son for enlightenment, and later my son used it to teach you how to read. Although most of the annotations in the book were made by my son, [-]% of them were also written by you."

The villain in Wei Wei's heart knelt down and sang Conquest to Mother Wei, what is means and what is conspiracy.The ancients also favored prenatal education, and there are many taboos about pregnancy, but enlightenment books are definitely not listed here.Due to the pressure from the Wu family, the eldest son will definitely spend more time with the Wu family, and most of the time he will have to study to pass the time.A prenatal education sacred book full of childhood memories, the son was happy reading it, and Wu's heart was filled with hearing it.Mother Wei, who came up with this method, is definitely fierce enough.

After lighting a row of wax for Wu Shi, the twitching right eyelid finally calmed down.She was flustered when the incident didn't happen just now, but after knowing this, she is at ease.Don't say that there is an elder son looking for another family, even if he can't find it, it would be better for Mother Wei to tie her hair and crown her.After all, who else in this world wishes her a happy and healthy life more than Mother Wei?
After thinking it over, she took a bath and changed her clothes in peace.The upper body of the finely embroidered bright red dress, looking at the increasingly bright face in the mirror, she was almost dazzled by herself.The plain makeup is so dazzling, what kind of charm will it be when the makeup is finished?

The ostentation of the guest of honor is all fiction, and the truth is a good face.Seeing this face, she was in a very bad mood. She had forgotten all about Mrs. Wu and sister Xian at the moment.

Wei Wei Da Lala didn't care about it here, but Yan Heng, who had moved out there, was still paying close attention to the courtyard, and knew about it immediately.Steady A Yun, who was more anxious than him, wiped off his sweat, and walked to the Crescent Moon Pavilion in three steps at a time. After explaining the changes to Chen Bo'an in a few words, he asked:

"I don't know if Brother Bo'an can ask my sister-in-law to do some work."

How could Chen Bo'an refuse to agree, and just about to speak, a clear and beautiful voice came from the cubicle: "Brother, he said that that person, you have been using it to hurt me for the past few days, saying that he is prettier than me, more sensible than me, and that he writes well. A girl from the Wei family who is stronger than me?"

Yan Heng didn't expect that there were other people in the private room, and just as he was about to confess, he saw Duan Wang in a blue robe walking out from the room, with a girl who looked more or less similar to him hanging on his arm.The girl pouted and looked at him curiously.

"You are Yan Xiaoqi. I heard that the lady you are going to marry is beautiful?"

Even if he guessed that she was the ninth princess, Yan Heng would not be too self-effacing and belittle Ah Mao's appearance against his will.Just as he was about to salute, the young girl jumped in front of him: "She is old today, right? Then I will go and see. If she is really good-looking, I will praise her."

Duan Wang turned his head and looked out the window, almost unwilling to admit that this crazy girl was his sister.Can he tell the truth?It is widely rumored that the fourth son of the emperor and the ninth princess have a very close relationship since childhood, while the Quanwutian family has a weak relationship. It is because the ninth sister sees that he is good-looking and has always been attached to him!
Yan Heng mentioned the heart in his throat and swallowed it back, he could feel that Princess Jiu was not malicious.Thinking of King Duan's approachability, the nine princesses who have a good relationship with him must not be the domineering generation.If she went to Jiji Ceremony, even if she didn't do anything but just watch, it would be no worse than the old matriarch of the Hou Mansion presiding over it in person.

Thinking of this, he looked at King Duan pleadingly, the latter looked at it with interest, and rubbed the head of Princess Jiu for a long time: "Today I am going out to play with you, if you want to go, then go."

With the nine princesses as praisers, the identity of Chen Bo'an's wife is not enough for a while.Everyone was tangled along the way, until outside the courtyard, when they saw Mrs. Liu, the Guozijian sacrificial restaurant, who was helped out of the carriage by Chu Lian, they were finally relieved.

And Wei Wei, who had not yet had time to appreciate herself after wearing light makeup, was shocked by this sudden battle.
