"Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Jiu lives in it. When his son returns home, a hundred liang will guard it. A Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Jiu places it in its place. When his son returns home, a hundred liang will take care of it. When his son returns home, a hundred liang will take care of it. The Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Jiu will fill it. His son On the bustling street, a group of people dressed in rich clothes, holding ceremonial fans, beating suonas and gongs and drums, carrying a big red sedan chair, and a handsome groom riding on a tall horse greeted the bride. The team of people sang this song together. They all looked happy and sprinkled gold foil and copper coins on their hands. The team was long, and there were more than a hundred slaves accompanying the bride. The bride's dowry was even more expensive, which attracted the attention of the people on the street. …
This long wedding procession passed seven or eight Zhongyi Archways, and passed through four or five streets and alleys. Finally, at a vermilion gate, there were two bright yellow statues wearing big red headdresses. The round copper lion's head, which shone like gold, stopped in front of it.
In front of Prince Shouguang's palace, there were crowds of people at the moment. Their joy did not seem to be fake. They all watched as the groom dressed in red carried the bride, Jiao'e, the daughter of the Yu family, who was dressed in green clothes in the sedan chair. , and immediately, the crowd rushed up and clapped their hands, and then urged the groom to carry the bride on his back, stepped on the red carpet, smelled the uninterrupted sound of firecrackers, and entered the Shouguang Prince's Mansion.
Qi Lin personally carried his bride across the brazier and steps, and walked steadily into the main hall step by step. Then he carefully put the bride down, held her hand, and walked forward. If you didn't know Among them, all the insiders envied the love of the newlyweds.
The main hall of Prince Shouguang's residence is now decorated with lights and red cloth and ribbons. Even a large rosewood marble case that was originally placed in the main hall has been covered with a layer of red cloth, and various rare melons are covered with it. Fruits: red dates, longans, peanuts, etc., which imply good luck, fertility, fertility, and happiness, and several red Double Happiness characters.
All kinds of precious flowers, porcelain, and other treasures were brought out by the Shouguang Crown Prince and his concubine to fill the scene.
On the other side is a large Ru kiln flower bag, filled with crystal balls of immortal flowers. On the left is an expensive red Ru kiln vase, and on the right is a jade gift given by the emperor. Ruyi... the people watching were extremely envious and admired the financial resources of Prince Shouguang's mansion.
"My son, Qilin, and my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yu, would like to send greetings to my father and mother, and invite my father and mother to tea."
Qi Lin and his bride paid their respects to heaven and earth, and then, under the attention of everyone, served tea to the Crown Prince Shouguang and Princess Shouguang.
The Crown Prince of Shouguang, Quan Quan, and his wife, Mrs. Yu, were dressed in fine clothes, with glowing faces, and took over the tea from Qi Lin and his wife. After they finished drinking the tea, they immediately shouted to the two young men to get up, with loving expressions on their faces. , it is clearly revealed on the face.
At this moment, I don’t know who suddenly said:
"My cousin loves and cherishes the bride so much, she is really good-natured! I don't know how much good care I will give my bride later!"
"If they are good, I will give them anything!" Mrs. Yu was beaming with joy at this moment. She did not care about this person's jokes in this situation, but responded with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, praising the good fortune of the new couple and the generosity of the Shouguang Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
In the middle of the main hall on this side, everyone was busy, but sitting at a banquet not far away, Princess Nankang led Qi Lan, Gu Ruosu led Hai Shi, Xie Yixie Hua and other young girls, But they just had a decent smile on their faces, and they all looked at this scene without saying a word...
"Hmph, your mother is really... very thick-skinned. She really pretends that others don't know the internal affairs of this marriage, but she is really embarrassed to cause such a big fuss..." Princess Nankang couldn't help it. , but he was worried about the face of Prince Shouguang's palace, so he whispered, not too loudly, not too softly, so that everyone at the table could hear it...
Qi Lan pulled Princess Nankang's sleeves, shook her head and said:
"Auntie, forget it, it's a done deal...it's okay...maybe it's just no chance..."
"Hmph! You kid, you're good at everything, you're just too honest, that's all, I won't say anything...
You have to study hard, get a good reputation, and let them all praise you. Whatever achievements you have made, don't forget to be filial to your adoptive father and mother. " Princess Nankang was only thinking about Qi Lan. Seeing Gu Ruosu present, she hurriedly said this.
"It doesn't need to be said by the princess, our Qi Lan is a good boy, very filial, and his adoptive father and I both understand." Gu Ruosu, who had always ignored these flatteries, now took the initiative to follow Nankang's instructions. The princess continued.
The Princess of Nankang looked happy and overjoyed. She quickly urged Qi Lan to serve Gu Ruosu and complimented:
"The Duke is busy with everything, and he is a good supporter of His Majesty. He is dedicated to the interests of the country, the country, and the country. Now, he has taken over the Southern Barbarian Mission. It is really hard work. We, the people, are all watching~"
"..."
"..."
Although the Princess of Nankang was of noble birth and usually very unruly, if she wanted to say something nice, she would be as good as anyone else. After all her words of praise, not a single word was repeated, which made Gu Ruosu feel confused. Very sorry.
"Everyone has worked hard, everyone has worked hard. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are working hard for the prosperous age of Dayong~" Gu Ruosu said with a blushing face.
Seeing that Princess Nankang wanted to continue to praise her, Qi Lan saw that Gu Ruosu was embarrassed and hurriedly prepared dishes for Princess Nankang. He was very discerning and wanted to please Hei Shi immediately changed the subject. , for a moment, the topic was changed away, and Gu Ruosu also had a rare chance to breathe...
Gu Ruosu suddenly looked at the girls around her, and saw that several little girls were sitting obediently eating the food in their bowls. Occasionally, they would look around at the exquisite decorations around them, or chat with each other. It's quite good...
However, Xie Yihua, who was sitting on Gu Ruosu's left hand side and always had a gentle and smiling face, kept his head down at this moment. There were only a few side dishes in the bowl, and he looked very absent-minded...
Gu Ruosu frowned slightly and moved closer to Xie Yihua. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Qi Lin, who was obviously drunk, walking over with a smile and a bottle of wine.
Qi Lin came to Gu Ruosu's table with a smile, then smiled and saluted everyone present, then put his arm on Qi Lan's shoulder with a smile, looked at it a few times with a smile and said:
"Second brother, you like to wear plain clothes on weekdays. Why, on my big day today, my brother, I have to wear something green or green. Didn't my mother send you new clothes, brother?"
"Brother, don't blame me. I was also very happy on your big day. I wanted to wear the clothes my mother gave me.
But unfortunately, the clothes were too baggy. If you really wore them, you and your parents and brothers would be embarrassed, so I chose a blue-green clothes, which were also newly made. Thinking about it, it was appropriate. "Qi Lan smiled and took Qi Lin's hand from his shoulder, and then explained.
"Oh, yes, the second brother is really considerate. However, the second brother is really happy that my brother and I are getting married. I always thought that you, my second brother, would be unhappy... After all, you are still the younger brother. I can't forgive you, the second brother. Here~" Qi Lin didn't care about Qi Lan taking her hand away at the moment. Instead, she smiled and apologized to "Qi Lan".
Seeing that Qi Lan had no reaction, Qi Lin suddenly felt dissatisfied and said:
"I didn't expect you, second brother, to be so good-tempered. I just don't know if you are really good-tempered or if you are treating your cousin... No, she should be your younger sibling now, not at all..."
Qi Lin's words immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone around him. Qi Lan immediately interrupted Qi Lin's words and prohibited Qi Lin from saying the rest. Qi Lan said with a hint of sullenness:
"Maybe my brother had a happy event today and was so happy that he drank too much wine and said a lot of stupid things. My brother should be careful and go back and drink some hangover soup..."
"Tch...Second brother, you look like a good lover, but...it's a pity...my brother got married before you, please forgive me...
After all...my cousin is just the right age and we are in love with each other. She really wants to get married as soon as possible... Come to think of it...Second brother, you are not someone who cares about us...Hehehehe..." Qi Lin looked at her with disdain. He looked at Qi Lan and then spoke with a mocking tone.
Qi Lan might have been stabbed in a sore spot for a moment, but she didn't speak. Princess Nankang threw her chopsticks down angrily, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and was about to speak directly to teach this brat who doesn't know how to conquer the world. The Yu family, Prince Shouguang's eldest son and concubine, who was Qilin Qilan's biological mother, came to them at some unknown time.
Mrs. Yu smiled and stood in front of Princess Nankang and said with a smile:
"Hey, my sister is really angry. It's just a joke between two brothers. It can't be taken seriously. Why is my sister so angry?" Then, Mrs. Yu turned her head again and patted Qi Lin pretending to be reproachful. back theory
"Same for you. Why are you drinking so much? You don't even know what day it is. Be careful that your wife will annoy you. Also, you have always known that your second brother can't take a joke. You are playing with him. What's the trouble? Why don't you quickly pour a glass of wine and apologize to your second brother~"
Qi Lin saw his mother winking crazily, then poured a glass of wine and said:
"Second brother, I'm really sorry. Brother, I didn't expect that. Second brother, you are a book addict. I can't make this joke with you..."
With that said, he drank the wine in one gulp and raised the empty wine glass, signaling Qi Lan to also drink the wine in front of him...
Qi Lan picked up the wine glass, but for a long time, he refused to drink it. Seeing that everyone was waiting impatiently, some people even urged him, and then Qi Lan drank the wine...
It was obviously a glass of fine wine, but now there was a bitter taste in Qi Lan's mouth...
Xie Yihua raised his head at this moment and stared at Qi Lan almost for a moment. The pity in his eyes was almost beyond words. Fortunately, the whole table knew a lot about the inside story of this matter, so... ...Her expression is not too abrupt...
But the hidden emotion in Xie Yihua's eyes did not escape Gu Ruosu's eyes at this moment. However, Gu Ruosu was only slightly surprised, but did not have any objection to it.
On the contrary, when Qi Lin was trying to push Qi Lan to drink a few more glasses of wine, Gu Ruosu frowned and then said:
"Erlang, today is your brother's big day. As a brother, it is understandable for you to drink a few more drinks.
It's just... although this wine is good, don't be greedy. Your adoptive father told me that after letting you attend the wedding banquet today, I will let you go back with me. Your adoptive father, but I have something important to tell you. …”
Everyone was immediately attracted by Gu Ruosu's words. Who doesn't know that Duke Yan's current status in the court, if he can win the favor of Duke Yan, his official career will be smooth...
They knew before that Qi Lan recognized Duke Yan and his wife as foster father and mother, but they thought that this was just a blessing from that guy Xie Haoan, and they had no friendship with Duke Yan and the others. Unexpectedly... the current situation... seems... not as bad as Qi Lin said...
Immediately, the eyes of the nobles who were surrounding Qi Lin changed when they looked at Qi Lan.
"Your adoptive father is very optimistic about you and wants you to study hard. You have to work hard for the imperial examination this year.
It is said that drinking alcohol is harmful to the health. You are about to take the scientific examination. It is better to drink less wine and give more good gifts later...
Thinking about it, your family members can understand it, after all, the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, right, Crown Princess. "Gu Ruosu naturally did not miss the changes in the expressions of these people, and then said while the iron was hot.
"Of course, what the Duke's wife said is, Lan'er, you'd better drink less of this wine." Although Mrs. Yu was unhappy in her heart at the moment, she still acted like a loving mother in front of others...
"Yes, yes, Erlang of the Qi family, you'd better drink less of this wine. I'm afraid that if the Duke of Guo is unhappy later, it will be difficult for us, right?" At this moment, there was another one who was very good at reading. The noble boy with a wink took the wine glass from Qi Lan's hand without any explanation and said.
"I obey my foster mother's orders in everything. I won't drink this wine today. Later, I will send you more good things to my brother. Brother, I'm really sorry." Qi Lan was not because of Gu Ruosu and others. Showing excessive joy due to his preference, he just said lightly with a slight smile on his lips.
"You...Okay, what Second Brother said is serious. Everything must be based on the imperial examination..." Qi Lin was very unhappy and wanted to refute, but was secretly pinched by Princess Yu. I had no choice but to go against my original intention and said with a smile...
The two brothers were like two opera stars at the moment. They were going back and forth with each other, and they put on a good show of brotherhood and brotherhood. However, it was just a performance, and it was not a real harmony. Soon, the Qi family One of the two brothers used the excuse of a toast to go to the next table, while the other used the excuse of being drunk to get some fresh air.
However, with Gu Ruosu's approval, the little girl Yihua also found an excuse to go out after the two Qi brothers left for a while.
