The peaceful and busy days passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was the end of the year.
The day for Feng Shaoju’s wedding has also arrived.
On this day, the Feng family was full of guests.
Feng Ping is the Minister of Rites, and all the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to congratulate him and gave him generous gifts. Furthermore, there were many in-laws of the Feng family, and they all came to visit today. Even the Prince of Kang County also sent a generous gift.
Of course, Prince Kang did not show up. After Xiao Feng's death, Prince Kang never set foot in the Feng Mansion. Feng Shangshu met Prince Kang in court and rarely spoke to him.
Feng Shangshu was embarrassed, but Prince Kang refused to answer. After several encounters, Feng Shangshu had no choice but to keep a distance from Prince Kang, and they became estranged and quiet.
Feng Shaoju put on an exquisite red wedding dress, with exquisite makeup, and her beautiful eyes shone with shyness and joy. Several of her married cousins entered her boudoir and stayed with her.
Feng Shaolan sighed reluctantly: "In a blink of an eye, the fifth sister will also get married. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us sisters to get together in the future."
Isn't it?
After a woman marries into her husband's family, she must be filial to her parents-in-law, take care of her husband, and have children. Maybe there will be a bunch of concubine children waiting to be raised. She will no longer live a free and easy life in the boudoir.
The pain in Feng Shaomei's heart was touched, and she sighed softly in her heart. But there was a smile on her face: "Don't talk about these things on a happy day. If you are willing, it is not difficult to get together."
We can always meet each other during the New Year's festivals of the year, or when a family is holding a happy event.
Feng Shaozhu still had the same sarcastic look, curled his lips, and spoke in a strange tone: "Fifth sister is so lucky to have married into such a good match."
A concubine actually married better than her direct sister. Every time he thought about this, Feng Shaozhu felt extremely jealous.
Feng Shaoju was a bride today, so she couldn't speak. Furthermore, she had been bullied by Feng Shaozhu since she was a child, so she didn't say a word when she heard these sour words.
Before Feng Shaozhu could say anything else, Feng Shaojun glanced over with a smile: "Today is a happy day for cousin Shaoju to get married. Everyone said something happy to make cousin Shaoju get married happily. Those eyes were warm and angry.
Those who say weird things should shut up as soon as possible, so as not to ruin everyone’s interest."
Feng Shaozhu: "..."
Feng Shaozhu wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but his sleeve was pulled hard by Feng Shaolan.
Feng Shaolan winked at Feng Shaozhu repeatedly. Haven't you suffered enough? If you really make a fuss, you are no match for Feng Shaojun. Why bother asking for trouble!
Feng Shaozhu turned his head to the side angrily. His mother-in-law's instructions before going out flashed in his mind: "...your third cousin has the best marriage, and her husband is the commander of the emperor's personal guard. You have to get close to her, maybe
, it can come in handy in the future.”
Pooh!
She will not bow to Feng Shaojun.
Feng Shaojun didn't pay attention to Feng Shaozhu's awkwardness at all, and stayed beside Feng Shaoju with a smile. Feng Shaoju's heart was hot and full of gratitude.
She was able to get into a good marriage mostly because of Feng Shaojun's favor. The He family is a hereditary Jinyiwei family. If it wasn't for Shen You, why would they ask to marry her, a concubine?
"Cousin Shaojun," Feng Shaoju whispered, "I haven't had time to thank you yet."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out to hold Feng Shaoju's hand: "This is your marriage, thank me for anything. Marry into the He family and live a good life!"
Mrs. He was a bit shrewd and snobbish, but she acted thoughtfully. Even if she was directed at the couple and the Feng family, she would not be mean to her daughter-in-law.
She also repaid the cowardly and kind-hearted fifth cousin in her previous life.
After hearing these words, Feng Shaoju felt more and more moved. She responded softly and held Feng Shaojun's hand firmly.
…
Two days after Feng Shaoju got married, the Qiu family also held a happy event.
Qiu Rou is also married.
However, this time, Feng Shaojun did not ask for leave specifically. With Xu's old ways, he would prepare a generous gift and send it to him, just to save face.
Shen You also had no intention of taking leave to go to Qiu's house.
Empress Yuan, on the other hand, was always thinking about her foster sister Jiang. She specially ordered Hongyu to go to Qiu's house.
Hongyu was accustomed to such errands and went to Qiu Mansion with generous gifts.
Marrying a daughter is a happy event, but the Qiu family has no intention of holding a grand wedding. They only sent invitations to the in-laws. Fortunately, there are many people in the Qiu family, so it is not deserted.
Qiu's parents-in-law, Mu, were making arrangements inside and outside. Mrs. Qiu also showed up, but Jiang was nowhere to be seen.
In the past few years, Jiang has been "recuperating" and has hardly seen anyone. Last year, he went to the palace to kneel for a day, but when he came out of the palace, his horse was frightened and injured, and then he continued to "recuperate". Today is Qiu Rou On the wedding day, Jiang didn't even show up.
The female guests and family members who came to express their congratulations often murmured in their hearts, but none of them spoke wisely and asked questions.
It is not unusual for Hongyu to come to the Qiu family. In the past ten years, Hongyu has always come two or three times a year. Empress Yuan is a person who has old feelings and has always been thinking about taking care of her adopted sister Jiang Xue.
Qiu Mingcheng personally welcomed Hongyu into the inner house and said with an apologetic look: "Jiang is weak and has been recuperating from illness. There is a wedding event in the mansion today and there are many guests. It is really inconvenient for her to come out, so as not to expose her illness to others."
Hongyu smiled slightly: "Master Qiu has been very considerate. I came here today to congratulate you on the order of the Queen. I will return to the palace after taking a look at Madam."
Qiu Mingcheng felt a little hesitant. Jiang's illness was not a fake. He had been locked up in the yard all year round, and even if he wasn't sick, he could still get sick. What he was worried about was that when he saw Hongyu, Jiang would "talk nonsense"... …
Qiu Mingcheng went outside Jiang's yard with worry. Today Jiang's yard was unlocked, but there were more than a dozen maids and women inside and outside the yard, guarding Jiang's house.
Jiang has been "sick" for such a long time, and is quite thin and haggard, but his stunning beauty is not compromised, and he is even more pitifully frail.
People have to sigh, God is really unfair. People like Jiang actually have such beauty and are still alive. Why doesn't the sky strike with lightning?
Hongyu stepped forward and bowed: "My slave Hongyu, I have met Mrs. Qiu."
When Jiang saw Hongyu, deep warning flashed in her eyes: "Hongyu, what are you doing here?"
Qiu Mingcheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Jiang, Rou'er is getting married today. The Empress specially ordered Miss Hongyu to send a congratulatory gift to the Qiu family. Why don't you thank Miss Hongyu quickly?"
The husband and wife have reached this point, and any words of love between husband and wife are really pale.
The person Jiang hates most now is Qiu Mingcheng.
She looked at her husband with resentful eyes and sneered: "Yes! Today is the day when my daughter gets married. As a mother-in-law, I am locked in the yard and cannot show my face in front of others. This is what I am living now. Good days..."
