The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 280 The Marriage of Xing and Song Dynasties Suddenly Brought Up
Laughing and clamoring outside came from far and near, and the grandma of the Yuan family hurriedly asked people to block the door of the room. These were all young wives from various families in the alley, and there was not a single girl who had not left the court.Grandma Yuan's family took the lead, standing at the door and looking at the visitors with a smile: "Which family is holding two wild geese outside the door?"

Song Chen looked slightly embarrassed, the pair of wild geese in his arms were tightly bound by the scarlet belt, and he was indeed a little dazed, Song Chen couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly asked Ma Tingyuan to give out red envelopes.There was a lot of looting at the door, and even Ma Tingyuan took a few steps back in fright, watching this group of unreserved young ladies with their mouths wide open.

The doorway was very busy, and the young mistress of the Yuan family kept an eye on the time, seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, she stepped aside and let her go.Song Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly thinking that marrying a daughter-in-law is more important than marching in battle. If he hadn't listened to the second brother's advice, he would have prepared a lot of red envelopes, fearing that it would be difficult for the bride to enter.

Daiyu heard the movement early in the morning, and saw Song Chen striding forward, and excitedly pulled Xiuyan's sleeve.

Under the scarlet hijab, Xiuyan was still a little nervous after all, and Song Chen who walked up to her was all smiles.I don't know which one in the crowd laughed first, Daiyu hurriedly stuffed the red silk into the hands of the two of them, one in front and the other in the back, and went down to the main hall surrounded by everyone.

Xing Zhong and Lu Shiduan sat in the first seats, seeing the new couple in front of them, although it was a happy event, they couldn't help crying.The mournful sound infected everyone in the room, and even Jia Mu took out a handkerchief and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Mrs. Yuan hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Such a good son-in-law can't be found even with a lantern. Sister Lu should be happy. Let's marry the child happily, and the young couple will be reconciled in the future."

Lu laughed through tears, and said to Jia Mu and others: "I am happy tears. Ladies and wives, don't laugh at me."

Everyone naturally understands.Raising such a smart, capable, and beautiful daughter, who said she was willing to marry her?The point is that the Xing family doesn't care about the Song family. It is said that the dowry items can be piled up into a hill. The Xing family accompanied a daughter and took out the money. Wouldn't it make the mistress cry?

Everyone smiled knowingly, and the eyes of the couple were more kind.

Lu choked and said: "From now on, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Song family. You must respect your parents-in-law, respect your two sister-in-laws, and treat your nephew and niece kindly. You must not be willful and petty like you are at home."

Xiuyan under the hijab nodded and agreed with tears. Lu Shi knew her daughter's nature, even if she met that picky mother-in-law, she would not run home and complain about her grievances.His daughter was too strong, so he couldn't help telling Song Chen.

Lu looked at Song Chen with a tearful smile: "I'm just this one daughter. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. If I do something that displeases my uncle, I hope my uncle will forgive us for our sake."

Song Chen looked terrified and swears in front of the room full of people.Jia's mother and others followed suit, saying that the wedding hall hadn't worshiped yet, but she called her father-in-law and mother-in-law, which shows that she is a good son-in-law.Everyone burst into laughter, the more they looked at the two, the more they matched each other, and they continued to praise them.

Satisfied, Xing Zhong and Lu ate Li Niang wine and personally sent them to the gate.Mrs. Lu grabbed Zhengde, and whispered: "Go to Song's house and protect your brother-in-law, don't ask those people to drink too much."

Zhengde smiled and took the hangover pill that Lu passed over: "Don't worry, Mom, I will not show mercy to anyone who dares to make things difficult for brother-in-law."

"Although the emperor allows you to come and help, you still have to be cautious so that the other princes don't gossip behind their backs." Lu started to straighten his son's collar: "Taking this opportunity, I also see that your brother-in-law is making friends with everyone. Some people will be of great benefit to your future."

Zhengde gradually suppressed his smile, and listened attentively to Lu Shi's instruction, until the little eunuch came to invite someone, Zhengde bid farewell to Lu Shi and rushed forward.

The eight-tone team played in front of the road, and the crowds on the third and outer floors of the long street seemed like half of the people in the city came out to watch the excitement.When they arrived at the Song Family's Shangshu Mansion, firecrackers of tens of feet exploded, and the ground trembled under their feet.

Xiuyan in the sedan chair had a pale face, covered her ears, and her heart almost jumped into her throat.She has been fearless since she was a child, but she trembles when she hears the sound of firecrackers.Even when the Xing family celebrated the New Year, most of them set off fireworks.

However, the firecrackers of the Song family's tens of feet set off nearly half a stick of incense, and finally someone lifted the curtain to take the bride out of the sedan chair, and Xiuyan's palms were already sweating.

Zhengde took the opportunity to slip up to Song Chen's side and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, my elder sister is most afraid of the sound of firecrackers, she is probably frightened, so hurry up and give me a hand."

Song Chen was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Xiuyan from Xi Niang's hand, really sweating coldly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were afraid of this?" Song Chen was full of pity, with Xiuyan covering his head, not knowing what was going on outside, so he could only laugh in a low voice: "It's okay, let's go in with Xi Niang, so as not to delay the auspicious time .”

Xi Niang, who was left on the sidelines, nodded again and again, with an apologetic smile on her face: "The bride's words are reasonable, the door is windy, and the cold sweat on this hand, don't blow the young mistress."

Song Chen knew it was reasonable, and immediately dragged Xiuyan into the courtyard.There are many guests in the main hall, regardless of whether male or female, they are all smiling.Song Shangshu and his wife sat in the main seat, one on the left and one on the right, and witnessed the completion of the worship ceremony by the youngest son under the singing of the master of ceremonies.

Song Lian looked at his young son who was in high spirits, and suddenly felt satisfied. He felt that this was probably the most sensible decision he had made in the past ten years.The youngest son has a stubborn personality. When he entered the Zhen Fusi, Song Lian had a lot of objections, but because it was the emperor's order, Song Lian did not dare to refute it directly, but he always felt that the youngest son from the Zhen Fusi would bring a shadow to the family.

Because of the notoriety of the Zhen Fusi, few even propose marriage to Song Chen. This Xing family was chosen by Song Chen himself. At first, Song Lian minded that the Xing family came from a humble background. That's why I agreed to the marriage.

At this moment, seeing the corners of the brat's happy mouth almost cracked to the base of the ears, Song Lian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his father didn't catch up with the good marriage back then, but he made this kid a lover and finally married.

After worshiping the wedding hall, the dinner officially began.

The Xing family only sent Zhengde and Ganmi couple to send the wedding, while Jia Lian and the third aunt of the Xing family took care of the guests in Fengwei Hutong.There are many relatives in Shangshu's mansion, not to mention the eldest and second youngest wives, as well as the Gao family who came all the way from other places. Song Shangshu's natal family is not even distant relatives, and the new house is already packed to the brim.

The eldest mistress was obviously absent-minded, so the eldest wife of the Gao family winked at the second mistress.The second young lady stepped forward, smiling and introducing the group of people with Xiuyan.The second young mistress probably had no good intentions, and deliberately made a detour when introducing them, making these relatives very complicated.

Xiuyan sneered in her heart, she had asked someone to find out about this in advance, and she knew it by heart.So when the Second Young Mistress tried her best to introduce her, everyone saw that the bride was a bit at a loss.

The eldest wife of the Gao family thought that Xiuyan was confused, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "The relatives in our family are the best to get along with. The third young mistress will get acquainted with each other from now on, so she will naturally understand." She pulled the two shy little girls behind her The girl stepped forward: "These are your two cousins, Su Lan and Su Yun. Now you come to the capital with me to meet the world, and you need a lot of advice from your cousin."

The two little girls have inherited the good looks of Mrs. Gao's family, with straight noses and snowy complexions.Xiuyan held one arm and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it was taught by my aunt, a hundred times better than us."

Xiuyan smiled unabated, but clearly felt the thin calluses on the hands of the two little girls.These are two pairs of hands that have been working all year round, and with the simple and honest smiles of the two girls, Xiuyan is more fond of Xiuyan.

Suddenly there was a sneer of yin and yang in the crowd: "Auntie, don't just care about your two daughters, and us concubine cousins, aren't they also relatives of my cousin? Could it be that my cousin hates the poor and loves the rich, and looks at us?" She's a girl from a concubine, why don't you wait to see her?"

People followed the sound, and a girl in red, Shi Shiran, came out from the crowd.The little girls behind her looked frightened, they wanted to pull the girl in red but they were a little afraid.

The eldest lady of the Gao family forced a smile at Xiuyan: "The third young lady doesn't know her, this is the eldest daughter of your second uncle's family, her name is Su Fei. Because she was raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, the two old people are the best like."

Xiuyan came to a sudden, no wonder she dared to play wild in the Song family, so it turned out that she was relying on the dignity of the old lady of the Gao family.However, the little girl is too ungrateful. Even if Xing Xiuyan gets married, her husband's family name is also Song, so there is no need to give the Gao family any face.

Xiuyan smiled lightly and said, "Cousin Sufei really knows how to tell jokes, where does she dislike the poor and love the rich?"

Gao Sufei obviously didn't intend to let Xing Xiuyan go, as soon as Xiuyan finished speaking, she immediately said in a shrill voice: "Then why didn't my cousin invite Cousin Suyu along? Does my cousin know that Cousin Suyu is here for her cousin's wedding?" , I have embroidered the ornaments for half a year, just to give you a decent gift at your wedding."

Everyone in the room was looking at Mrs. Gao, and Song Lian's nieces were among them.These Misses of the Song family didn't have a good impression of Gao Suyu, but they were full of curiosity towards Miss Xing's family.Now seeing the concubine daughter of the Gao family coming in aggressively, some of them can't bear it and want to fight for injustice.

Song Chen's eldest sister, Yuzhen, and her husband is Master Feng, General of the Fourth Rank Yiwei Lang.Song Yuzhen said displeased: "This gift is just a wish. If Cousin Suyu didn't get it in time, wouldn't it be possible that the third younger siblings would still annoy her? Besides, the posts were posted together, and even we were curious why Cousin Suyu didn't Come on, the third brother and sister came to our Song family for the first time, how can they know these trifles?"

Song Yuzhen didn't give any face.It not only explained that it was Gao Suyu who refused to come because of Qiao, but also mocked Gao Sufei as meddling with mice.

Gao Sufei was really blushing, Xiuyan immediately took a liking to this eldest sister, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The big lady is talking about my heart, what kind of gift is not a gift, it is a piece of paper, a drop of ink, as long as it is from relatives The third master and I are very grateful for your kindness. I heard that Cousin Suyu was physically weak, but I was annoyed that I didn't know how hard she worked, so I made a gift for us. Otherwise, I would offend Cousin Suyu, and I Don't allow her to sew any more."

Gao Sufei was so angry, she and Gao Suyu were the best, and she was happy to see Gao Suyu marrying her cousin of the Song family, who knew that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, poor Suyu cried like a tearful person, and was locked up by her aunt, she was not allowed at all Come to the wedding reception.

Gao Sufei just wanted to vent her anger for her good sisters, and she was good at observing words and expressions. When she came out, she saw that her grandfather was very displeased with the Song family's marriage, so she deliberately made a fuss in order to flatter her grandfather.

The eldest wife of the Gao family was so ashamed that she and her two daughters dragged Gao Sufei out of the new house.The little girl refused to give in, and everyone could still hear Gao Sufei's naughty voice from inside the door.

The girls of the Song family smiled and comforted Xiuyan, there was no one looking for work in the new house, so they were naturally very harmonious.Not long after, Song Yuzhen's maidservant came in with a panicked look, and whispered something in the master's ear.Everyone saw that Song Yuzhen's complexion was getting worse and worse, and the young lady couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

"It's nothing, the eldest prince took our father to drink and made some jokes," Song Yuzhen forced a smile: "Our father is a serious person, I'll go out and have a look, so as not to drink too much and mess around at our house and make relatives laugh." Watch the joke."

Xiu Yan nodded slightly at Mi Ying who was standing at the door, Mi Ying understood and walked out of the new house one step ahead of Song Yuzhen.Not long after, the first young lady and the second young lady were also called out, and everyone felt a little weird, so they found an excuse to leave the new house.

It turned out that the Song family had 120 more banquet tables than the Xing family's [-] tables.VIP guests like Cheng Zimo and Minister of Rites Qiao were naturally accompanied by Song Lian himself, and Emperor Xiaozong specially allowed several sons to come to congratulate him.

Others were fine, except that the eldest prince became muddled after taking a few sips of wine. First, he dragged the little maid who was serving the banquet in the Song family to look at him non-stop, and was so frightened that the little maid accidentally broke the cup.Then he forced Song Chen to drink the remaining wine in the cup with his own hands, as if he was treating the male favorites in his private house.

Song Chen's friends seemed to be messing around, so they stood up to smooth things over.Who would have thought that the eldest prince pushed Ma Tingyuan away, and even poured half a glass of wine on Song Yuzhen's husband's face.

The second prince and the third prince were ashamed and shy, one by one clamped the arm of the eldest prince, trying to keep the other party immobile.Zhengde had a gloomy little face, and at some point he had an extra wine bottle in his hand, and stood behind Song Chen.

Ma Tingyuan knew what Zhengde was up to when he saw it, and was so frightened that he quickly tore off the thing and threw it aside, pushing Zhengde out of the encirclement.

The eldest prince scolded inarticulately: "You two eat everything from inside to outside, who is your brother! He thought that if he hugged the Song family's thigh, the Song family would benefit you! Bah! Isn't that brat called Li Hong?" Taking advantage of it for nothing?"

The second prince was ashamed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Elder brother!"

The eldest prince sneered unceremoniously: "Why, you, a person who has always been acting in front of the emperor, are you planning to put on a pure and kind face? Since I was a child, I have suffered so much from your daughters, and I am not afraid of you." Only the father thinks that the kindest people in the world are your mother and son."

The second prince couldn't hide his anger any longer, and immediately swung his arm: "Brother Da Huang talks nonsense after drinking, be careful that someone with ulterior motives will pass it into the ears of the emperor."

"Father has disliked me a long time ago, but you don't have to worry. In time, Li Hong's wings will harden, so naturally you will have a headache."

The eldest prince staggered and pushed everyone away, looked at Zhengde who was blocked by Ma Tingyuan, and said with a sneer, "You bastard!"

Zhengde jumped up and stretched out his hand like a hand knife.

Taking advantage of his tall size, the First Prince kicked him without even thinking about it.Everyone was shocked, and when they were about to block it, Zhengde turned a knife in his hand, lifted his forearm up, supported the eldest prince's leg, and slammed his right elbow hard on the eldest prince's knee with all his strength.

Hearing a scream, the eldest prince fainted from pain.

There was silence all around.Those who eat here are all dignitaries, and they also know that the Fifth Prince has a problem with his background.But no one dared to utter obscenities like the First Prince and call names directly.

The second prince and the third prince seemed dumbfounded, Song Chen hurriedly leaned over to check, the first prince's leg bone was bent weirdly, it looked like it was broken.Song Chen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Zhengde.

Zhengde pursed the corners of his lips tightly, and he didn't have the panic and panic of ordinary teenagers, let alone the madness. He just looked at everyone indifferently, especially the second and third princes: "Big brother drank too much wine and said something stupid. It's also normal. It's getting late, why don't you invite the two imperial brothers to go back to the palace with me to report to Emperor Father, so that Emperor Father won't be too worried if he doesn't know the inside story."

The two of them knew in their hearts that the fifth child was determined to drag them into the water, and wanted to jointly frame the eldest prince.

However, the two of them looked at the always arrogant eldest prince at the same time.
Rather than asking the eldest prince to humiliate them enough, it is better for them to strike first.

Zhengde and the two princes ordered people to carry Li Zheng, resigned from Song Lian in the dark, and hurried to the palace.Song Chen took Ma Tingyuan, Gan Mi and others to the outer courtyard to toast as if nothing had happened.

Everyone avoided talking about what happened just now, but after leaving the Shangshu Mansion in a blink of an eye, they sent their confidantes to the palace gate to inquire about the news.

This is a later story aside, when Xiuyan heard that Zhengde had beaten the eldest prince in the new house, she was not in a hurry, but instead sneered: "The emperor is most afraid of being mentioned about his love affair, and now his own son is called a wild son, he is not angry No wonder!"

Mio looked at her own girl: "So, His Highness the Fifth Prince will be fine?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on whose palace the emperor stays tonight." Xiuyan said in a low voice, "Today is not the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor will not go to the queen's hall. Even if the queen wants to make trouble, there is no chance .”

Mi Ying thought for a while and said: "The emperor now favors Xue Chongyi, or the concubine, can these two people speak well for our highness? Unfortunately, there has been no news from Jia Chongyuan, otherwise they might be able to intercede for the fifth highness."

Xiuyan looked at the flickering red candles and said with a smile: "Let's see if the eldest prince's luck is better or Zhengde's luck is better."

In the Forbidden City, the emperor lifted Xue Baochai's sign tonight, but Dai Quan brought in a bowl of sweet porridge with crushed almonds and glutinous rice, which he said was cooked by the concubine Bao himself.

Xiaozong's heart became hot, and he remembered that he hadn't visited Xiaoqi for some days, so he ordered Baobi's green head card instead.Xue Baoqin did not look like a young woman after taking a bath, instead she was fresh and pleasant in a light-colored palace attire.

Xiaozong was overjoyed to see it, and was entering the main hall with Xue Baoqin on his arm. Jiang Hong, the inner eunuch and the other eunuch, walked in hastily: "Your Majesty, the second, third and fifth princes are asking to see you."
