Chapter 509 July 3
After the meal, Jiang Wangri had no time to feel sad about his proximity to the water. He looked for an opportunity to sleep side by side with the General of the Central Army and take advantage of his good luck. He sniffed his nose and ran to Cui's house to report the news and asked Cui Bianxu's guards to come and help Wang Mingqian move.
Yingzi excitedly packed out four sacks for her brother-in-law and her favorite General of the Household.
Jiang Shangxian looked at Yingzi worriedly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Be gentle."
Cui Bianxu said with a cool face: "Try your best."
Jiang Shangxian was helpless: "We are going to get married in a few days. When we go out, we can't just think about fighting and killing. We should think more about the ways of the world..."
These people still have to come and give gifts.
Xiao Cui is just too impatient. Why can't he wait until they give their gifts and leave before putting on the sack?
Even if we take a step back, the boat back to Chang'an is their own. Isn't it okay for the whole boat to just wait at the shore until he finishes fighting and comes back before setting sail?
Cui Bianxu, who was impatient, changed his tone and said, "I know them all, they are all my friends."
Wang Mingqian: ....
March 26th.
Everything is appropriate.
This should be the most important day in Jiang Shangxian's two lives.
Unlike modern brides, she did not get up early, but slept until she woke up naturally.
The night before, I even stayed up late to review all my best knowledge, and I was so excited.
This is all due to the customs of the time - etiquette, weddings must be held at dusk, because the yang goes out and the yin comes.
Jiang Shangxian had already bid farewell to the Jiang family's pitiful number of ancestral tablets when she left Chang'an. She had nothing to do this morning and was very free.
Yesterday, Jiang Wangri, as the representative of the bride's relatives, took Runzhen and others to Cui's house to prepare the room for the new house.
In fact, the day before the wedding, the bride's family has to go to the groom's family to hang curtains in the bridal chamber, spread out quilts and mattresses, and set up the curtains for the bride's family in preparation for the wedding day.
This is the Tang Dynasty's "A house must be made of green cloth and curtains, called a green house, where people would greet each other and welcome the bride."
Compared to Jiang Shangxian's leisurely and contented life, Cui Bianxu was in a miserable state.
As a virgin, he couldn't sleep at all last night when he thought about waking up from a nap and being able to hold his wife in his arms the next night.
He sat up and tossed and turned in the room and punched three times. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the box. Finally, hesitantly took out all the erotic pictures given by Wang Mingqian, Zhao Shan and his father, and placed them on the bed to review them one by one to deepen his impression.
As a result, I studied too hard and got a little excited.
Oh, that's so embarrassing.
I took eight cold showers that night but didn't sleep well. The next morning I was called up to go to the Cui family ancestral hall to burn incense to my ancestors and tell them that I was going to get married. I asked them not to be idle down there, but to work hard and pray that I would have two children in three years, become rich and powerful, and have a successful career.
This is - reporting to the temple.
Ever since the Begonia Blossom Banquet, Cui Shuhua went straight to Cui Quan and informed him directly that she would take full charge of this matter.
When Cui Quan was young, he had many beautiful concubines and gave birth to several illegitimate sons and daughters, but he only had three legitimate children: Cui Zhou, Cui Zhe, and Cui Shuhua.
Cui Shuhua was his only legitimate daughter, so he loved her very much. Even if he had to sacrifice his children's marriages, he would do his best to choose a good one.
The Lu family of Fanyang has few descendants. According to his original plan, as long as Cui Shuhua gives birth to a son after marriage, wouldn't her position as a clan wife be secured?
Wouldn’t the relationship between the Cui and Lu families be a little better then?
Who knew that the kid from the Lu family was so useless, he died of an acute illness!
Cui Quan was very conflicted at the time - he wanted to find a good marriage for his only legitimate daughter, which would not only help the Cui family but also give his daughter a good home.
Who knew that Cui Shuhua made the decision herself and announced it to the public, that when she died, she would be buried with that short-lived ghost, so that she would have a companion in the underworld.
He was almost angry to death at that time, but the Lu family was very grateful for Cui Shuhua's action.
After all, the central idea of the Chinese is to get married, have children, and live in a warm home with a wife and children. If the short-lived ghost of the Lu family doesn't have any of them and is left alone, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to be a ghost.
Let's get back to the point. In short, Cui Quan felt guilty, distressed, and a little sorry for his daughter. She seldom made any requests, and this time she said she wanted to take over the marriage for a very legitimate reason - if my sister-in-law is too bored, she can go to the yard and think about how to be a qualified clan wife, otherwise sooner or later she will tear down the door lintel of our Cui family and let others step on it.
These words made Cui Quan heartbroken. He had asked his eldest brother's wife to find a way to keep Jiang Shangxian in Qingzhou, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this!
He was so embarrassed to go out!
He felt a little embarrassed when his daughter said it so openly.
Fortunately, my daughter didn’t know that this matter had something to do with her.
You shouldn’t know, right?
Worried about whether his daughter knew about it, Cui Quan hesitated and handed the matter over to Cui Shuhua.
Cui Shuhua started to check the preparations on the day she took over. More than thirty of Cui's servants were directly dragged out and beaten. For a moment, Cui did not seem to be planning a wedding.
But just like this, the entire second house, including Jiang Shangxian, felt relieved.
Safe, too safe in fact.
They don't ask for much, just don't make any mistakes.
After lunch, Jiang Shangxian squatted on the steps, looking at the two wild geese that had no desire to resist. He was a little worried about how they would be able to live independently after going out after having been full for so long.
That’s right, the two fat and strong geese raised by the Jiang family finally got the chance to make a shining appearance.
"Why haven't these two been sent over yet?"
Jiang Shangxian pointed at the two fat guys, somewhat dissatisfied with how they could get so fat without restraint.
Yingzi squatted beside the table with a large bowl in her hand, her eyes constantly glancing around, and from time to time she would knock on the bowl with her chopsticks: "Hey, hey, hey, put this over there! What's going on! Hang that one higher!"
Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I'll send them over soon. Luckily, General Zhonglang has arrived. Otherwise, with their physiques, those frail scholars of the Cui family might not be able to carry them!"
That’s right, these two will be sent to Cui Bianxu later and come here with the wedding procession.
At that time, Cui Bianxu would throw the two wild geese through the screen in front of Jiang Shangxian, and then the woman would wrap them up with red silk and tie their mouths with five-colored cotton, and then release them after the wedding was completed.
"Auntie, let's rest for a while and then take a shower." Runzhen's forehead was sweating.
There were two masters in total, each more unreliable than the other. Fortunately, Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua both sent two maids to help. In addition, many of the maids had experienced this kind of thing and were quite experienced. Otherwise, how could these servants accomplish such a big thing?
