Splendid Book

Chapter 120
When the bride arrived at the door, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the mansion, so loud that even the female relatives in the inner courtyard could hear it clearly.Although this was not the first time Qiao Yongshun had a wedding in Uncle Qiao Yongshun's residence, the second wife was still worried and looked outside several times from time to time.

At this time, she and the second master are waiting, and when they worship the hall later, the two of them will sit in front of the hall.

Qiao Mingchen on the side rarely wore a festive color today. Although he had been exposed to the wind and sun for so long at the border, but he had only been back for a few months, and the rough feeling he had honed in the border slowly faded away.If it wasn't for the fact that he still had the killing power of being on a real battlefield, I'm afraid he would turn into the elegant young man of the Qiao family who fascinated all living beings again when he changed into a suit of splendid and rich clothes.

Fortunately, he has been in the front yard today and has never been to the backyard.If this is seen by the female relatives in the backyard, I am afraid that the groom's limelight will be stolen today.

Although his bearing was outstanding, the man standing beside him was not overwhelmed by his bearing at all.On the contrary, when the two stood together, it was like the sun and the moon shining together, setting off each other. Even the most wonderful paintbrush in the world could not paint such a beautiful picture.

At this time, Ji Yu was hanging her head, listening carefully to Qiao Mingchen's words.The faces of the uncle and nephew are somewhat similar, but their temperaments are completely opposite. Qiao Mingchen has a slight smile on his face, but his whole person is calm and introverted, like a deep ocean, like a high mountain. It is a kind of temperament that has been accumulated over the years.As for Ji Yu next to him, his originally mature and introverted appearance is a bit shallow compared to him, but he is a nobleman, the kind of arrogance that comes from a high position, but it makes him stand beside Qiao Mingchen instead. Be robbed of any light.

"Little uncle, if you get married, I'm afraid it will be even more lively than today," Ji Yu said softly beside him.

Qiao Mingchen turned his head and glanced at him in surprise. In his opinion, Ji Yu should never be someone who would say such a thing.He blinked his eyes, seemingly confused and disbelieving, and waited for a long time before he said slowly: "I'm afraid you didn't think of this yourself, did you?"

"If the little uncle never gets married, I'm afraid the elders in the family will be troubled," Ji Yu reminded.

In the past, he might not have been able to persuade him. After all, with his temperament, he would never have said such a thing.But since he got married, the thoughts in his heart changed all of a sudden.It's like a person who has never eaten meat, he will also find fruits and vegetables very delicious, but once he has eaten meat and tasted the taste, he will understand that nothing in this world can replace it.

When Ji Yu was not married before, he naturally didn't know what he would look like after getting married.But now that he is married, every day after he returns home from the yamen, there will be a delicate and gentle little man standing at the door, waiting for him to come back.Although someone will prepare meals for you before, but when you think that it was carefully prepared by your own wife, the mood is different.

The most important thing is that every night when you go to sleep, you hug a sweet and soft little person, watching her trembling in front of you with her eyes closed, looking at her skin as white as snow, if you don’t feel that kind of feeling personally Tried it, never understood it.

So this time, Ji Yu persuaded Qiao Mingchen to get married with the utmost sincerity, not a routine persuasion.

Qiao Mingchen turned his head, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Since the elders in the family are bothering you, and they won't be in front of you, what are you talking about?"

"Little uncle, I'm also doing it for your own good." Although his kindness was dismissed, he still didn't mind, after all, a full man should give way to a hungry man, right?

So he thought for a while, and changed to a more convincing reason, "Now I'm married, if Changle becomes pregnant in the next year, I'm afraid that you will become an uncle, and you haven't married yet, isn't it... "

He didn't continue talking, apparently because he wanted to save Qiao Mingchen some face.

It's just that on this kind of issue, this kind of hesitating to say something is even more embarrassing than saying everything.Qiao Mingchen looked at him, snorted, then turned his head to look at the other side, and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, I am two years younger than King Zhennan. If you can persuade King Zhennan, I can consider it." consider."

Ji Yu: "..." He was just talking casually.

But think about it, a pro-uncle, a pro-uncle, I don't know what is going on in my heart, they all say that they are tigers.But he couldn't avoid them one by one, he thought about Shen Changle's little face, it was obviously such a good thing.

Fortunately, the bride had already arrived at the door, and when the front shouted loudly, the people gathered in the front hall also retreated to both sides like a tide.The big red carpet in the courtyard extends to the main entrance.The bride walked to the main hall step by step on the scarlet carpet.

After the crowd dispersed, a couple of newlyweds appeared on the red carpet, with the groom leading the way.

"Little uncle," Ji Yu called out again, causing Qiao Mingchen to immediately turn around and stare at him.

He lectured: "I think you have become more and more like a mother-in-law after you got married."

It's okay to be urged to marry by the elders, but now even this kid came to persuade him, Qiao Mingchen naturally felt that he was holding back his anger.So it is not polite to train him.

"Seventh brother, little uncle, why are you still standing here?" Ji Ting looked for them everywhere as soon as he came back, and finally found two people here. His face is like a crown jade, handsome and youthful.

Concubine De was already stunningly beautiful, so naturally the son she gave birth to would not be any worse.It's just that Ji Ting still looks like a teenager after all, full of free and easy, although his demeanor is not as good as the two people next to him, he still has a kind of attention that stands out from the crowd.

He went to pick up the bride with the groom's officer, just now at the gate of the bride's house, he showed his might.As soon as he came back, he couldn't help looking for Ji Yu and Qiao Mingchen.He said with some complacency: "Brother Seven, you didn't see our posture to pick up the bride just now, if I hadn't taken the lead, I'm afraid it's not sure what will happen today."

Ji Yu snorted and laughed, this kid was angry that he didn't ask him to help pick up the bride.So now I'm thinking about it in my heart, this wedding reception is just a ceremony, maybe the bride's family can really hold the bride.

Ji Ting still wanted to say something to him, and worship had already started inside.

Looking at the new couple, Ji Yu couldn't help but think of the situation when he got married. At that time, Chang Le was wearing a red hijab, and he couldn't see her face clearly, but could only see her slightly bowing her head.

The front yard is so lively, but the back yard is no less.As soon as they heard that the bride had come and worshiped at the front, everyone talked about it.Even the female family members of Qiao's family hurried to the new house, and the groom will have to drink a cup of wine in the new house later, and even lift his hijab.Maybe I can catch a glimpse of the bride.

Mrs. Qiao was sitting by the side accompanied by the eldest lady. She had already had a round of banquets before, and there will be another round of banquets in the evening after the bride comes back.So it's still a lot of fun.

Mrs. Yongshun was afraid that the old lady would be tired, so she said softly at the side: "Mother, if you are tired, go back and rest for a while."

After all, Mrs. Qiao is getting old, and she has been sitting since the morning, so it is inevitable that she is not as energetic as a young man.So Mrs. Yongshun was also afraid of tiring her, so she advised her to go back and rest first.The Cao family on the side also persuaded: "Yes, old lady, I will take you back to rest first. After the third brother pays homage, there will be nothing important."

On the contrary, the old lady looked at the female relatives who were still living around, and although her face was tired, she still said: "The guests are still here, I will sit down for a while."

Seeing that Mrs. Yongshun couldn't persuade her old man, she quickly gave Mrs. Cao a look.Mrs. Cao had no choice but to say again: "The guests will be fine with my mother and I helping to greet them. Don't worry about it."

On the contrary, Mrs. Qiao waved her hand, probably because she really didn't want to go back.

So Cao had no choice but to shut up.

On the other hand, there was a middle-aged lady wearing a rose-purple thousand-petal chrysanthemum-patterned blouse, who smiled and said, "Auntie, look at your granddaughter-in-law who is really sensible and loves you so much. I really miss you all the time. It's on."

With a satisfied expression on her face, Mrs. Qiao nodded and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm praising my family. My granddaughter-in-law is indeed a good one."

Mrs. Cao was a little embarrassed when she was praised by Mrs. Qiao, and she lowered her head slightly, "Auntie was joking, it's all my duty."

"Let's not talk about such a sensible and filial child now, it's becoming more and more rare. Not to mention other things, this time I have two hugs in three years, and she is generous and considerate. Where can I find such a good wife?" The middle-aged lady is the niece and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Qiao's natal family. Now the old lady's natal family is in decline, so although the clothes this woman is wearing look new, the material is not the best.Moreover, the jewelry on her head is old and not bright anymore.

Shen Changle sat aside and listened, but nodded in his heart.After the Cao family entered the door, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, making up a good character.Now there is a waiter in the room of the young master of the Qiao family. This kind of generosity and consideration is really not something that ordinary women can have.

Anyway, she doesn't know other people, and she can't do it herself. When she thinks that there will be other women by Ji Yu's side, she is afraid that she will go crazy with jealousy.So she is determined not to do this, and she will not want to share Ji Yu with anyone.

"Look at you, I'm so embarrassed to tell the child," Mrs. Yongshun immediately found a step for her daughter-in-law.

It was the aunt who turned her head to look at Shen Changle, and said embarrassingly: "Speaking of which, it has been almost half a year since the concubine got married, why haven't I heard any good news?"

Shen Changle didn't expect that these words would be drawn to him, he was taken aback for a moment, then with a cold look in his eyes, he said indifferently: "Fate is predestined, nothing can be forced, I am still young, the prince and I are not in a hurry .”

Although her tone was light, her complexion was obviously displeased, and the woman who spoke to her obviously didn't expect her to be so disrespectful to the elders.So the scene was a little awkward for a while, and even the eyes of Mrs. Qiao changed.

If this Han family is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Qiao's natal nephew, she often comes to pay her respects to the old lady on weekdays. Even Mrs. Yongshun would affectionately call her sister-in-law.Unexpectedly, the first time he talked to Shen Changle, he got a soft nail.

So for a while, he said reluctantly, "I'm just asking out of good intentions. After all, the problem of heirs is not a small problem."

Shen Changle simply pretended that he had never heard of this sentence, which made her feel ashamed.

It's just that she was lowering her head at this time, so she didn't notice the displeasure on Mrs. Qiao's face.Now Mrs. Qiao's natal family is in decline, but the more it is like this, the more she can't bear the disrespect towards her natal family in the house.So even Mrs. Yongshun didn't dare to treat the relatives who came over there as poor relatives who came to fight the autumn wind.But this time, Shen Changle has shamed Han family one after another. In the eyes of Mrs. Qiao, that is to shame her.

If it is said that people's hearts are biased, it is obvious that it is the Han family who first relied on himself as an elder to speak so impolitely.Shen Changle is a junior again, but she is also a majestic Princess Zhao, if anyone can control her, wouldn't she be just a show as a princess.

Therefore, regarding Han's words, she directly made her ashamed.

"Speaking of which, Princess Jin is pregnant now, the emperor and concubine Shu in the palace are very happy," the old lady Qiao said, looking at Shen Changle.

When she said that, everyone started talking again.It's just that Shen Changle doesn't want to talk anymore, it's all about pregnancy.Speaking of which, she herself was not in a hurry to get pregnant, after all, she was only so old and her bones hadn't grown well yet.Besides, it was so difficult to give birth to a child, she was scared to death, how could she find fault for herself early.

She also vaguely mentioned this issue to Ji Yu before, but who knew that he was more thoughtful than herself.Even if she had a baby, she would have to wait until she was eighteen. Anyway, they were still young, so they were not in a hurry.

Shen Changle knew that for the princes, the earlier they had offspring, the better their status before the emperor.Ji Zerui in the eldest prince's family is so loved by the emperor, which drove the second prince and his wife crazy. Fortunately, Princess Jin was pregnant in time, otherwise Concubine Shu might have to cram people into the mansion.

After everyone had finished talking, the old lady suddenly looked at Shen Changle, and said lightly: "There are three ways to be unfilial in ancient times, and having no descendants is the greatest. The emperor and the empress finally hoped that our prince will get married, and now they are waiting to hug each other. Grandson, if the concubine thinks this way, wouldn't she have failed her high expectations."

Shen Changle did not expect the old lady Qiao to say such a thing, but the old lady is not the Han family, since she has spoken, Shen Changle can't ignore the past.

She smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "Since it is the expectation of the empress, I, as a daughter-in-law, naturally dare not live up to it. It's just that I have only been married for three months, if I am in a hurry, I really can't be in a hurry."

"That's true. It's just that I heard that the princess is the only one serving the prince. If the princess doesn't think I'm an old lady, I have to say a few words. After all, I am also the grandmother of the prince. Don't say anything." With such an honorable status as the prince, these men in my mansion have two maids to serve them. I talk so much today because I am afraid that someone will say that the princess is jealous in the future, and I am afraid that my reputation will be damaged. "The old lady Qiao said in a sincere tone.

Shen Changle was so angry when he heard her words, if he didn't try his best to endure it, he might get up and walk away.

That is to say, for the sake of Empress De Fei, otherwise she would not even take a step into this mansion.

She looked at the old lady Qiao blankly, and after a while she suddenly smiled and said softly, "Changle appreciates the kindness of the old lady."

Mrs. Yongshun watched from the side, staring inwardly, but she could only be anxious.She didn't dare to interrupt the old lady, after all, old lady Qiao always said the same thing at home.But it's fine for her to teach her juniors a lesson, this is Princess Zhao, if she is really angry, it won't damage the relationship between the two sides.

Besides, they have only been married for two or three months, so there is no reason to stuff people into the mansion like this.

Mrs. Yongshun didn't know if the old lady had planned it on a whim or had planned it long ago.

Mrs. Cao is also very clear, but it doesn't work for her to be clear, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can only look at the old lady helplessly.

Until the old lady Qiao said with a smile: "Since the princess has figured it out, then so be it. It just so happens that the girl next to me is pretty smart, so why don't you take it back first. If you don't like it, then I will ask the empress next time." I'll pick two for you, after all, the empress is surrounded by people who are smart and able to serve others."

Shen Changle clenched her fingers tightly, pinching her palms with her long nails, trying her best not to reveal her true emotions.

This old woman actually dared to rely on the Concubine De to give her power.
