The first day of May is the day when Su Jing of the Su Mansion marries Shen Qingli, the third lady of the University Scholar's Mansion.
It was still dark early in the morning, so the Su family all got up early. The tables for banquets in the mansion had been set, and the back garden, front yard, and everything for entertaining guests were all ready.
The first daughter-in-law married by the Su family is also the legitimate daughter of a bachelor's house. She must not lose her family's dignity. Everything must be of the best quality without losing face.
Happy words on red silk could be seen everywhere. Su Jing's yard was decorated as a new house, and the couch in the room was covered with peanuts, longans and red dates.
They were also piled into small towers on the plate and placed firmly.
Su Jing had changed into the groom's wedding clothes early in the morning, and the crown that bound his hair was very gorgeous. This was a gift from the Holy Emperor who had heard that he was getting married and specially asked the palace craftsmen to make it.
The gold hair crown and the tassel chain made Su Jing look golden and noble.
This was the first time Su Wan saw such a noble elder brother. He usually looked like a gentle and gentle man, and his clothes were plain.
But there is no doubt that if Su Jing dresses up well, he will not be inferior to any aristocratic child. He has an innate temperament that shows that he is extraordinary in this life.
Su Wan was also wearing a purple gauze skirt with begonia flowers embroidered with gold thread today. The begonia flowers at the corners of the skirt were clustered together and looked very tight.
Su Jing took advantage of the auspicious time and led the wedding team to Shen's Mansion to pick up the bride.
The four brothers of the Su family and Jiang Yu all followed Su Jing on horseback. They were all dressed decently, but they would not overshadow Su Jing.
Today I accompanied Su Jing to pick up her bride, passed five levels and killed six generals.
The ceremony band played gongs and drums along the way and set off firecrackers from time to time. The people on the street stopped to watch the excitement and talked about the wedding.
It is said that they were a match sent by heaven. The love story between the two had already spread in Kyoto. Just like what Su Wan said before, Miss Shen San and Su Shilang fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other again. However, the number one scholar at that time was transferred to Xuanhe. After being unable to return to Beijing for several years, Miss Shen San has reached the age of marriage, but she still waits infatuatedly. After completing his great career, the number one scholar proposes marriage to Miss Shen when he returns, and the lovers finally get married.
The two families were well matched, with one family producing a second-rank minister, a fourth-rank military general, and a princess who was generous to the people and had a bodhisattva heart.
Youdao is a match made in heaven, and kind people should be a family.
The Shen residence was still decorated with lights and red silk hanging everywhere. In Shen Qingli's boudoir, many noble ladies from Kyoto came to add makeup.
After the bride is picked up, they will also go to Su Mansion for a wedding banquet.
The brothers and sisters of the Shen family are all back, even the concubines are back and politely add makeup to Shen Qingli.
They are concubines, and they have to rely on the support of the bachelor's palace. Now that the third sister is married to Shilang Su, the family of Su Shilang's family is also good. If they build a good relationship with the third sister, they can have another feasible connection.
The eldest brother of the Shen family, Shen Qingli's biological brother, came back from distant Huizhou to attend his sister's wedding and give her a hand in marriage.
He took up the post of magistrate in Huizhou and would be transferred back to Beijing in at most two years.
When I came back this time, the Shen family had a small reunion. The eldest brother of the Shen family was still very satisfied with Su Jing. His ability to manage Xuanhe well showed his ability. He had already understood that the Su family's The people are very nice and very capable.
Mrs. Shen cried several times today, always wiping her tears quietly.
Looking at her daughter who is wearing a red and green wedding dress, with a phoenix crown and a bright bridal gown, she is so beautiful.
Shen Qingli is almost twenty years old. She is still young in modern times, but she is already an old girl in ancient times. She has received a lot of criticism over the years, but she does not take it seriously. As long as she lives a good life in the future, what does it matter if she marries later?
It is said that it is difficult to have both worlds at the same time. A good family background does not necessarily mean a good husband, and a good husband means a bad family background. But she is good at both, so can she be considered a winner in life?
Shen Qingli's eyes turned red when she looked at her crying mother.
"Mom, don't worry, your daughter will come back to see you often."
"Nonsense, since you have gone to your husband's house, you should take care of your husband's family in everything, be filial to your parents-in-law, support your husband-in-law, be friendly to your sisters, and take care of the house. Don't always think about running home. Your parents-in-law are simple and kind-hearted. People, when you marry into the Su family, you must honor them well. Princess Xuanle and you are best friends and sisters-in-law in the future. I believe you can also have a good relationship with her. Several brothers-in-law of the Su family will He is a capable and promising person, and in the future relationship between the sisters-in-law, you, as the sister-in-law, must take a good lead, do you understand?"
Mrs. Shen has said these words to her daughter many times, but Shen Qingli listened patiently.
"Qingli, you are the youngest daughter of our family, and you are loved by thousands of people. But now that you are going to marry and become a woman, the little temper and habits you have developed at home have to change. People entrust the middle child to you. With your hands, you have to take care of a family, but you can't be petty anymore, you know?"
After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, the bachelor spoke again, and Shen Qingli was helpless.
Brother Shen still felt sorry for his sister and retorted:
"Mom and Dad, we Qingli married into the Su Mansion to enjoy happiness, and we are not slaves. I agree with being filial to our parents-in-law, supporting our husbands, and being friendly to our brothers and sisters. But if we are wronged, neither will our Shen family. Vegetarian.”
"Bah, bah, bah, look what you said, your brother-in-law is so unworthy of your trust? I know that A Jing is the most caring child. The parents of the Su family are also so kind. How can we, Qingli, be affected by the marriage? Where are the grievances?"
Mrs. Shen really believed in Su Jing and was very fond of this son-in-law.
"Well, Su Jing can be regarded as a student I have taught. I know his character. Princess Xuanle donated her family fortune for the Jin State. Doesn't this prove how good the Su family's education is? In short, Qingli married Su family, we are all relieved."
All the brothers in the world who love their sister have eyes that are not eyes and a nose that is not nose when facing their sister's sweetheart, and they are not pleasing to the eye everywhere. Even if they admit it in their hearts, they still have to say something bitter on their lips.
The eldest brother, let alone the second brother, isn't the same for the five brothers of the Su family?
Jiang Yu was almost squeezed to death.
"Master, madam, my uncle is almost here, we can make preparations." The grandmother next to Mrs. Shen came to report.
When Shen Qingli heard the sound, she blushed nervously and shyly.
The maid quickly helped her cover the tassel curtain on her hair crown and brought her a peacock fan to use to shield her face.
"Everyone is ready, but don't show mercy to my brother-in-law. Show off your special skills and give him a good test!"
The eldest brother of the Shen family gave the order, and the talented men and women took their positions and prepared to block the door.
