On the 20th day of the 10th day of the Chu calendar, it was the day after repeated selection. For the people in the capital, the capital, which has been shrouded in haze, finally ushered in a festive event.

The marriage of Jinyi's family is of course a big event, and the bride is the daughter of Shenhou's mansion, which naturally attracts everyone's attention. Many people inquire about the route of the bride's wedding team early on, and wait for the team to pass by, and can feel the festive atmosphere. More importantly, families like Jinyi's family will inevitably distribute some joyful money along the way when they welcome the bride. Although not too much, it is enough for the festive people to eat a few hot steamed buns.

The Jinyi Hou Mansion is naturally very festive.

Although Gu Qinghan is in charge of the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, an elder must be in charge of such major events. The third old man is busy with this marriage and has made a lot of efforts. The man's master of marriage is naturally the third old man.

At that time, many people in the Qi tribe followed the third elder to support Qi Yu in inheriting the title for their own interests. For this reason, Qi Ning cut off his relationship with the Qi tribe in public. At first, many people in the Qi tribe disagreed. However, after Qi Ning inherited the throne of marquis, he was always respected by the emperor and made many contributions, which made many tribe members approaching. However, Qi Ning did not say that he would return to the Qi tribe, so everyone was embarrassed to get too close.

The Sima family was once in a very prosperous place, and everyone could see that Sima Lan would sooner or later deal with the Jinyi family. Therefore, some people in the Qi clan were worried that if they really got too close to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, they would cause disaster to themselves. Until the Sima clan collapsed, the Qi clan members did not hesitate anymore. Although they did not dare to come to Qi Ning, they found the third old master, hoping to make some efforts when Qi Ning's wedding.

So on the wedding day, many of the work was not done by the servants of the Duke's Mansion, but by the children of the Qi tribe who came to help. They could find a job to work with the Duke's Mansion. Even if they were moving tables and benches, many Qi tribes felt that they were glorious. Those who could not find a job were looking for work everywhere, fearing that they would not help this time.

The third old master was in charge, and the fifth and sixth masters of the Qi family were in charge of each. In addition, Gu Qinghan and General Han were in charge of the rules, everything was in order.

Officials of all sizes and big cities in the capital naturally knew about Qi Ning's wedding date. As early as three days before the wedding, they had been coming to the door to give gifts. Everyone had the eyesight. They knew that the young prince was a celebrity in the court since then, so they all sent generous gifts. The Duke's Mansion received countless gifts every day. Gu Qinghan ordered people to free up two large empty houses to place gifts specifically.

Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang made a special trip to come back from the Heilin Camp to attend the wedding. After all, it was a grand wedding of the prince, and this storefront was indispensable. Moreover, Qi Ning knew that a girl's family only had this wedding in her life, so she ordered it to be as lively as possible during the wedding. The third old master had already invited several major gong and drum teams in the capital, and even sent a message that when the wedding was welcomed, which team would play the loudest, and there would be another reward.

The wedding party was decorated with lanterns and the word "Happy" was everywhere. The wedding party had already been prepared. According to the customs of the Chu State, the wedding party would arrive at Xianleju to pick up the bride at noon, but the road back and forth could not be the same, otherwise it would be a bad omen.

The Duke of Huguo Mansion is not far from Xianleju. Moreover, although there will be people watching the Duke of Guardians, the road is absolutely smooth. After all, Xue Lingfeng knew the route of Qining's wedding. For safety, he sent someone to sweep the road early, so the wedding time will not be too long, so he set off here to get the right time.

Gu Qinghan took his busy schedule and came over to check whether Qi Ning was well-tied.

Welfare two mothers came here to tidy up their hair and crowns for Qi Ning, which was also a worry that the maid didn't understand the rules. If something went wrong and was seen, it would be inevitable that they would be laughed at. The two mothers knew very well about the marriage procedures of officials and paid great attention to the details. Gu Qinghan specially arranged for the two to serve Qi Ning.

The gorgeous groom's robe has not been worn on her body, but Qi Ning's hair bun has been woven. At this time, she was facing the bronze mirror to see if something was wrong. After Gu Qinghan came in, the two women saluted immediately. One woman smiled and said, "Three Lady, the Duke is the most handsome groom's official that the old maid has ever seen. No one can compare to it."

Gu Qinghan is dressed up dignified and elegant today. She just dressed up a little on her face, but today she dressed up specially. She looked extremely gorgeous and smiled and said, "You just know how to talk. You will be ready later. Don't forget to ask the Duke for rewards."

Qi Ning laughed and said, "Everyone is rewarded, and all is rewarded."

The old lady said happily: "Mr. Xie and the third wife rewarded me. Duke, let's try the crown and uniform."

Qi Ning turned around and shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, and it's not easy to wear this crown and uniform. Let's talk about it later. You go down and rest for a while. I have something to say with the third lady."

The two mothers hurriedly bowed and left. Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Today's wedding, you will be truly grown up tomorrow. I won't worry about it anymore in the future. If Miss Ximen takes care of you in the future, I will be worry-free."

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "Sanniang is wrong. Whether I get married or not, you will have to take care of my affairs to the end of your life." She walked slowly towards the door and reached out to close the door. Gu Qinghan was so energetic that she hurried over and said, "I almost forgot that there are still some things in the kitchen that have not been dealt with, I..." Before she finished speaking, Qi Ning had already closed the door. Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "What are you doing to close the door?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I'm worried that you will run away."

Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning looking straight at her, and her cheeks were blushing. She put on makeup today. She blushed like a peach blossom and was so beautiful.

Qi Ning really wanted to embrace this beautiful lady in her arms, but she also knew that today was a special day. On the wedding day, if she still wanted to be flirtatious, she would always be a little despicable, and sighed and didn't say anything.

Gu Qinghan blinked slightly and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before asking softly: "Sanniang, are you feeling very comfortable now?"

"I... was naturally happy." Gu Qinghan sighed quietly: "After you get married, my biggest task will be completed, so I don't have to worry about anything in the future."

"Actually, I'm just thinking about whether you will become more and more alienate to me after getting married." Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "I thought many things were under my control, but now I realize that many things were not what I thought."

Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, suddenly raised her arms, carefully tidy up Qi Ning's clothes, and said softly: "If you think so, it means you have grown up. Ning'er, after the wedding, it will be a new beginning. Treat your wife well in the future. If you don't treat her well, why should you marry her? In fact, women are easy to satisfy. As long as your husband treats you well, it is better than anything else."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I will treat her well."

Gu Qinghan smiled softly and said, "Your performance today makes Sanniang very pleased. When the little guy grows up, Sanniang will do this big thing properly." Turning around and opening the door, Qi Ning always felt that he had a lot to say to Gu Qinghan, but he did not stop Gu Qinghan from leaving. He watched Gu Qinghan leave and was pondering himself when he suddenly heard the voice of the old man from outside: "Grand Prince, Mr. Yuan asks for a meeting!"

Qi Ning knew it was Yuan Rong, and today's wedding, Yuan Rong naturally couldn't come and asked Yuan Rong to come in. Soon, Yuan Rong, dressed in brocade clothes, quickly came over. Seeing Qi Ning, he immediately bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to Duke of the State, congratulations to Duke of the State, and today he got married with Miss Ximen, which is envious to others."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I am just worried that the gift you gave is too light."

"I'll tell the truth, don't blame me." Yuan Rong smiled: "Last time you asked the transfer, I sent someone to send letters to several giants. They also knew that the Duke's wedding was today, and he went day and night. He rushed to Beijing last night. Each of them prepared a generous gift, and the few of them also prepared the gift I gave you together."

"Oh?" Qi Ning asked, "Who are there?"

Yuan Rong said: "You are all familiar with Chen Mukuan from Weitang porcelain, Jiangcheng from Songjiang Tea House, and Zhu Yuchen from Zhujia Budang, the three of them are now in the capital."

Qi Ning said: "These are all old acquaintances, and there is another Qiu..."

"Qiu Fang from the King of Qiu family of Liaodong." Yuan Rong shook his head and said, "He is in Liaodong. The journey is long and it is difficult to send a letter, so he was not able to come this time. However, it is more than enough for these three families. Last night I invited them to dinner and mentioned the matter of Haibosi. The three of them knew that it was the Duke's meaning, so they didn't say anything, and asked how much money they wanted. These three families are all big and wealthy, and it's no problem for any family to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Qi Ning thought that with these three companies, plus Mrs. Tian, ​​there was no need to worry about the silver required by Haibosi in the early stage. Today, she was in a good mood and was in a good mood at this time. She patted Yuan Rong on the shoulder and said, "There are many guests tonight, so I can't accompany them. You can treat them well with me. I will treat them alone to dinner afterwards."

"Director of the State allows them to attend the wedding banquet?" Yuan Rong smiled and said, "If the State Duke doesn't say it, it's really hard for me to mention it. The three of them knew that the State Duke was married, so they rushed over day and night, hoping to give a gift, but they never thought they could attend the wedding banquet."

Qi Ning was stunned, but soon understood.

He is now the empire's Duke's protection and the emperor's favorite minister. Not to mention that in the eyes of ordinary people, even in the eyes of the chief officials, he is still an extraordinary person.

Although Chen Mukuan and his three families were all giants, they were not even as good as a small county magistrate when it comes to status. In the eyes of the three, Qi Ning was already an unattainable person. It was impossible to give a gift, so they could not even hope to attend the wedding banquet.

"You still have time, and the wedding banquet will be waiting until evening." Qi Ning said: "You can tell them that there will be their seats at the wedding banquet at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion tonight. Come from afar, and you must have a few drinks."
