Shenjing City, Xicheng, Ningrong Street. The entire Ningrong Street is lit up with red lanterns. Ning Rong's Second Mansion was even more decorated with large red lanterns and red ribbons, full of festive atmosphere.
In both mansions, large colorful sheds were also set up to entertain guests. Countless maids and servants were busy in the house, packing up the washed gold and silver utensils, and preparing all kinds of chairs, stools and furniture.
Linhe tribute wine and red fruit wine were piled up like a hill, and there were countless delicacies and other dishes.
Jia Lian, Jia Yun, and Jia Qiang were also busy in the front yard. They, plus Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan, would greet the male guests and allocate seats.
The new house in the backyard has also been properly decorated. Hunan embroidery double phoenix hanging curtain, sandalwood withered screen of blessings, fortune and longevity, rosewood screen with boxwood and withered clouds and dragons, crane-top candlestick with double flowers and flat branches, Persian short-hair carpet, peacock blue glaze three-legged incense burner with unicorn pattern carved in secret, huanghuali multi-treasure grid, red lacquer and gold-painted screen-style mirror stand, purple sand Guanyin incense burner... Further inside, there is a red sandalwood double-moon cave eight-treasure bed, with a peony embroidered hibiscus tent hanging above it.
Next to it stands a full-length mirror that is as tall as one person. The surrounding frame and base are made of rosewood.
This is the first time such a large glass mirror has appeared. Even the ones given to the emperor and empress were only half-human mirrors.
There is a rosewood dressing table next to it, with a jewelry box underneath and a half-length mirror inlaid on it, which is used for daily dressing.
The whole decoration is noble but not vulgar, luxurious and elegant, which is in line with Lin Daiyu's character. In order to decorate this new house, Jia Cong also took great pains and used a lot of manpower and material resources.
The reason why it was ready in such a short time. That's because some furniture and decorations were prepared as early as last year.
I believe Sister Lin will be satisfied when she sees it. The sisters looked at the new house in front of them, and they were all amazed and showed envy in their eyes.
Yingchun sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't know what her new house would be like in the future. If it was half as good as this, she would be satisfied.
He looked at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, you are so good to Sister Lin. My sister is even a little jealous." Jia Cong smiled and said: "Being kind to your own wife, isn't that what you should do? There's no need for the second sister either. Envy, when you get married one day, my brother will also give you a set, I promise it will be no worse than this." Yingchun's face flushed with shame, she glared at Jia Cong and said, "How can you get married by yourself and let your mother's family help you? What's the point of decorating a new house?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's easy to do it if the second sister doesn't want to, but it's all over if you just marry a son-in-law." Yingchun said shyly: "Brother Cong, take it. Sister is making fun of you, you want to be beaten." Jia Cong laughed and stayed away from Yingchun.
Tanchun said with a smile: "Why not? That would be a marriage. With our family's current status, if the second sister finds someone whose family is worse than ours, then that would be a marriage." He said this, but in his heart he said Very bitter.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I was very envious and wanted to have it myself. But the relationship between himself and his third brother was destined not to be exposed in the open, but could only be kept secretly.
It's just that I am really unwilling to be like this for the rest of my life. Even if the third brother will not treat me badly in terms of conditions, I will never be a bride in my life, and my reputation will not be justified in my life.
If the third brother also gave me such a wedding, I would be satisfied. Thinking about it, this is impossible. Hey, does this mean that there are gains and losses?
I really envy Sister Lin, she is so happy. Jia Cong naturally didn't know what Tanchun was thinking. If he knew, he might be able to satisfy her.
This kind of thing is not difficult for Jia Cong. Just hold a wedding in a place where no one knows him. As long as he has money, it is not easy.
Jia Cong said: "It doesn't matter whether you marry or not, as long as you like it and you are happy." Xue Baoqin said: "Brother-in-law, then my sister's new house won't be worse than Sister Lin's, right?" Yi Hong smiled and scolded: "You girl, how dare you say anything? Is this something you can ask?" Shi Xiangyun chuckled: "Sister Qin, why are you only thinking about your sister and not us." Xue Baoqin laughed. Said: "Sister Yun, I want to help you, but I don't know who brother-in-law Yun is? Don't you also want to be with my brother-in-law?"
"Bah, you damn girl, why do you dare to say anything? There are already two third brothers. It would be too greedy to think of anything else." Shi Xiangyun glared at Xue Baoqin, this girl was really talking out of her mind.
She glanced at Jia Cong cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn't paying attention to her. To be honest, I am also very envious. Who wouldn't like such good conditions and being kind to people?
It's just that the third brother was very good before, but now, although he is also very good, there are just too many women around him.
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Men are greedy. If you have one, you still want a second, and if you have a second, you still want a third. Brother Cong still doesn't have enough women." Jia Cong quickly begged for mercy and said: "Okay. Okay, don’t talk about me anymore. Don’t worry, Sister Bao, our new house will definitely not be worse than Sister Lin’s. I’m ready this time, so please forgive me.” Xue Baochai scolded with a smile. : "Bah, you're just saying nonsense, I don't care about this, I'm telling the truth." My little niece calls me aunt, which is pretty good." Shi Xiangyun curled his lips and said, "Fourth sister, you know that your brother's farts will smell good to your brother." Jia Cong said angrily: " Girl Yun, how about I fart and let you smell it to see what it smells like?"
"Bah, smell it yourself." Shi Xiangyun spat with a blush on his face. The third brother was such a bastard that he actually let himself smell his farts.
When everyone heard this, they all laughed. Xichun giggled and said, "Sister Yun, go smell it and tell us later." Shi Xiangyun said in embarrassment, "Oh, Fourth Girl, you still dare to say that, let's see if I don't deal with you." Xichun chuckled. He was standing and running in front, while Shi Xiangyun was shouting and chasing behind him. He chased and ran away, and there was a lot of jumping up and downs.
Finally, Xichun ran to Jia Cong, and the two of them surrounded Jia Cong and started fighting together. Jia Cong held them down one by one, and then they stopped.
At this time, Youshi and Li Wan walked in, followed by a woman and two little boys about five years old.
Seeing everyone laughing and making a fuss, Li Wan said with a smile: "We are so busy that we don't even touch the ground. It's better for you to hide here and have some time. You don't know how to help us." Yingchun said with a smile: "Three of you My sisters-in-law are all capable people, and there are two capable helpers like Ping'er and Yuanyang, so how can we be used?" Tan Chun also smiled and said, "We are also here to help the third brother and look at the layout of the new house. How are you? I'm not here to be lazy." Jia Cong said with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work, sisters-in-law. When the work is over, my brother will definitely thank you properly." Youshi smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now, we have invited people with both children to make the bed. First make the bed, and then let the two little guys roll on it. The new house will be ready." The wedding bed is at the groom's house. Please have both children. The old man made the bed and then asked the boy from his relatives to roll on the bed, which meant happiness and the birth of a child soon.
These three people were all found from the clan. The woman had a son and a daughter and was responsible for making the bed.
The two four or five-year-old boys were responsible for pressing the bed. The woman was also a sister-in-law in the clan. After meeting Jia Cong, she came to the bedside, took out the quilt and started to make the bed.
While making the bed, I kept mumbling.
"Make your bed, make your bed with joy, first the four corners, then the center."
"Make a bed, dragon and phoenix are auspicious. Men and women are married, and the bridal chamber is decorated with flowers and candles."
"Make the bed, make the bed, and the house will be full of children and grandchildren. The husband will have a son, and the daughter will be born again."
"Make a bed, make a bed, you will be rich and noble, the land is full of wealth, and the warehouse is full of rice and grain." Everyone stood aside and watched with interest. After a while, the bed was all made up.
Youshi pulled the two children over and said, "You two took off your shoes and went up to roll around. I won't say anything more. If you want more, please stop." The two little guys nodded obediently and He took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and rolled up on it.
Youshi said eloquently: "The boy is rolling on the bed, and the joy spreads in all directions. If you are looking for a precious son, you will definitely be a good man. Honor your parents first, honor your ancestors and make your ancestors strong. The groom can't wait, and the bride has sugar in her mouth. A spring night is worth a thousand gold, and she will have sweet dreams in the future." "As soon as Youshi finished speaking, the two little guys stopped scrolling and looked at Youshi eagerly.
Li Wan smiled and said, "Okay, stop looking. Your mission is completed. Come down quickly." When the two little guys heard this, they got up and quickly got off the bed.
Youshi casually took out three red seals and handed them to the three of them, one to each of them. The three of them happily accepted it, and after saying goodbye to Jia Cong, they were led out by the maid.
Jia Cong said: "You have worked really hard for my wedding these days." Youshi smiled and said: "What are you talking about? If we don't help you with your affairs, why can't you find someone else to do it? I am I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. If you get married, you can have more children for our Ningguo Mansion as soon as possible." Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, just rest assured. I dare not say if there are more than ten or eight children. , there is no problem." Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said: "Third brother, you are just like a pig, and you still have ten or eight pigs. If Sister Lin finds out, I will definitely not let you go." Jia Cong said: "It's not like I want her to In one life, isn't there still Sister Bao?" Xue Baochai's face suddenly turned red, and she said with some embarrassment: "You are really becoming more and more out of tune, talking nonsense even when you are guarding so many people. Why do you ask me? If you have the ability, ask Sister Lin to go." Xichun frowned and said, "If so many little nephews ask me for red envelopes, then I will be a pauper." Seeing Xichun's sad look, Everyone burst out laughing.
At this time, Qingwen came in and whispered: "Sir, a guest is here. It's Zhang Hu and the others. There are quite a few people here." Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hu and the others were here too.
After setting the date this time, the time was a little rushed. In less than twenty days, Jia Cong did not notify them. Unexpectedly, they came before the wedding. What a coincidence.
Jia Cong turned around and said to everyone: "I have guests coming. Come over and receive them. You can have fun by yourselves." Li Wan asked curiously: "Why are there people here today? Aren't we going to entertain guests tomorrow?" Jia Cong said with a smile. : "Guests from far away must come here early, otherwise they will not be able to catch up." Xue Baochai said, "Just go and do your business, don't worry about us." Jia Cong nodded, took Qingwen out of the new house, and moved forward The hospital rushed over.
When I came to the front yard, I saw a dozen carriages parked in the yard, which should have been brought by Zhang Hu and the others. Qingwen smiled and said: "Zhang Hu and the others were quite generous this time. They must have put a lot of effort into it." Jia Cong glanced at the carriages and was a little curious about the gifts they sent. He saw that several carriages were actually made by human beings. Yes, I have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that these rough guys came by car?
He shook his head and walked into the living room. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Li Biao talking with four people, one was Zhang Hu, one was Wang Shun, one was Borchi, and the other was Gu Qi.
Unexpectedly, these people came together, which surprised Jia Cong. Wang Shun and Borchi each control a super tribe, occupying the entire Khalkha prairie, and are considered the kings of that prairie.
Gu Qi is a close associate of the barbarian Khan Amin. He has been responsible for liaison with Jia Cong and is also an old acquaintance of Jia Cong. His arrival surprised Jia Cong even more. He should have come on behalf of Amin.
Seeing Jia Cong come in, several people stood up and saluted Jia Cong.
"I will pay homage to Duke Ning Guo and wish him a happy wedding." Jia Cong smiled and said, "No need to be too polite. Thank you for your blessings. I didn't expect you all to come. This surprised me. You guys How did you get the news?" Borchi smiled and said: "We also heard from Brother Zhang Hu that Ning Guogong is getting married. How can we not come to congratulate him?" Wang Shundao: "We don't know the specific date either. I just heard from brother Zhang Hu that Ning Guogong was getting married this year. We discussed it and were afraid that we would miss the wedding date, so we came early. Unexpectedly, it was just the right time. What a coincidence." Jia Cong sat on the main seat. He stepped down, stretched out his hands and said: "Everyone, please sit down. You have come at the right time. Tomorrow is my wedding day. This is really a coincidence." After seeing everyone sit down, Jia Cong said to Gu Qi "I didn't expect that your Great Khan would also send you here, but I did mean it. How is your Great Khan doing recently?" Gu Qi cupped his hands and said, "If I go back to Ning Guogong, everything is fine with our Great Khan. Our Great Khan said that he Because of my special status, I cannot come to attend Duke Ning Guo’s wedding in person. I deeply regret it and ask for your forgiveness. We have specially prepared a big gift to congratulate Duke Ning Guo on his happy wedding." As he said this, he took out a Holding the gift list in both hands, he respectfully handed it to Jia Cong.
