At five o'clock the next day, Ah Cai came and knocked on the door: "Master and mistress, it's time for you to perform the ceremony."
Su Yining walked over, opened the door, and said something to A Cai.
After a while, A Cai came in with two maids, each carrying a mahogany box.
"What is this?" Zhao Ling'er asked curiously.
"This is for the young mistress to dress up." A Cai opened one of the boxes, then opened another box, and said, "This is what I will give to the elders when I meet them later."
Zhao Linger nodded.
I saw Ah Zhen take out a pair of gold bead head flowers, a pair of gold bead earrings, a pair of gold bracelets, a gold ring, a jade-colored treasure moon silk jacket, and a piece of Yuan color yarn from the box.
Baisan skirt, as well as various rouge and gouache.
Only then did Zhao Ling'er feel a little like a bride.
Su Yi Ning stood aside and watched Zhao Ling'er put on makeup bit by bit. Unexpectedly, this little girl had applied rouge and gouache today. She still looked delicate and lovely, but she was a little too delicate. I wonder if her parents would see her soon.
What a scene.
Boom, boom, boom.
Someone knocked on the door again.
It was Mu Yunqing who came in.
Looking at Zhao Ling'er getting dressed, Mu Yunqing's face was full of worry.
She told Su Yixiang about this matter last night, but he didn't intend to ask about it. She also said that it was Yi Ning's own matter and she believed he could handle it well.
But she, as the sister-in-law, is very worried. Ling'er is a good girl, and Yi Ning is indeed a good match for her. She just hopes that she will not offend the master and his wife, and that the family will live in harmony.
But she didn't know how to help her, so she could only come in to comfort her. If the master and his wife lose their temper, they must stay calm and not disobey her parents-in-law.
After hearing these words, Zhao Ling'er's originally anxious mind became even more anxious.
Su Yi Ning held her hand at the side and said: "As long as I'm here, they won't do anything to you. At worst, we will be kicked out together, so that we can travel around the world together." After that, he gave her a pretense.
An easy smile.
Oh, if she had known she would have to face her parents-in-law, she wouldn't have married herself in such a hurry!
Zhao Ling'er felt a heavy burden on her heart. How could she please her parents-in-law?
"Let's go, the time has come! My parents are already waiting!" Mu Yunqing looked at the time and saw that he could delay no longer, so he returned to the hall ahead of them.
Su Yining took Zhao Linger's hand and slowly walked into the hall.
"This..." Mrs. Su was a little confused. Is this Wang Ruoxi?
"Yining, who is she?" Mr. Su asked in surprise when he saw that the person coming was not Wang Ruoxi.
Su Yi Ning pulled Zhao Ling'er to his knees and said, "Dad, this is my wife, your daughter-in-law. Her name is Zhao Ling'er."
"What?"
"What did you say?"
The two old men stood up immediately. Mrs. Su walked down from the high hall, looked at Zhao Linger's face carefully, then looked at Su Yining, and asked: "What's going on? Didn't you marry someone from the governor's family yesterday? Where's Ruoxi? This
what is going on?"
Su Yi Ning helped his mother back to the high hall, helped her sit down, and said: "Mom, Ling'er and I are in love, and Miss Ruoxi and another young man named Li Heng are in love, but we both have it.
We have a marriage contract, so we had to take advantage of yesterday's wedding to exchange peaches and peaches for plums, and each of us can find a husband."
Before Mrs. Wang could react, Mr. Wang said: "How presumptuous! How can marriage be a trivial matter? If you do this, what will it do to the governor's face? Who is Li Heng? Does the governor know?"
Su Yi Ning said: "Master Li Heng, the governor has met him. As for what he is like, the governor already knows what he is like. What's more, Miss Ruoxi is determined to marry Li Heng. The child is also a beautiful adult, so the governor must have nothing to say about it.
explain."
"That's what I said, but...since Ruoxi already has his heart set on something, why don't you just ask his father to break off the engagement with us, instead of doing this?"
"This... when Ruoxi met Li Heng, our two families had already set a wedding date. According to the law, the two parties cannot cancel the engagement. The governor probably also considered this, so he did not agree to the marriage between his daughter and Li Heng."
"Yes." Mr. Wang nodded and looked at Zhao Ling'er: "Where are you from? Where do you live? Who is there at home?"
Zhao Ling'er was shocked, so she had to make up the story and said: "Back to the master, the little girl has lost her parents since she was a child. She was alone and helpless, and grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Ever since he met Mr. Su that day, he saw that the little girl endured hunger.
He was starving, so he bought noodles and food for the little girl, and even took the little girl to have tea. The little girl was so grateful to him that she had nothing to repay him except to offer her her life."
Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Ning'er, is this really the case?"
Su Yining hurriedly smiled and said: "What the hell, Ling'er is so self-effacing. Although she has lost her parents since she was a child, she is smart and talented. She is also talented and can make money. Now she has a thousand taels of savings, and there will be more in the future.
.”
"The last time I went to set up an advertising column, it was her idea." Su Yixiang whispered in Mr. Su's ear.
"Yes! The last clothing auction that shocked the entire Yunzhou was also hosted by Miss Ling'er! It brought a lot of business to Yingbin Building!" Mu Yunqing also echoed.
"So, you all already know Zhao Ling'er?" Mrs. Wang looked at her eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Mu Yunqing nodded slightly.
"Now that the matter has come to this, I have nothing to say. However, I have a request." Mrs. Su looked at Zhao Ling'er and said to Su Yining: "I think this girl is short in stature and is obviously underdeveloped, and you are already sixteen this year.
Now. Now that we are married, we have to pass on the heirs to the Su family. I think we should give this girl another room and wait until she grows up. You can marry another concubine and continue the family line as soon as possible."
Zhao Ling'er's heart trembled violently.
"Mother!" Su Yi Ning shouted hurriedly: "My brother already has a son, so our Su family doesn't have to be so anxious to have another heir, right? I can wait a few more years..."
"How can that be done? You have reached the age of adulthood, and you have to bear the responsibility of carrying on the family line! Our Su family is not a small family. Although I have a grandson, it is not enough. I hope that our descendants of the Su family will have more and more children."
The more the merrier!”
"But, I don't want to take a concubine yet..."
"Since I have already acquiesced to your marriage to Zhao Ling'er, you can no longer shirk it if you want to take a concubine!"
"Okay, okay, today is the first day of Yi Ning's marriage. If we talk about taking concubines, I don't think we will mention it for now. When Yi Ning calms down, we can talk about taking concubines after autumn next year.
It's not a bad idea." Su Yixiang said.
"Zhao Ling'er, from today onwards you will serve Yi Ning well in his studies. If he passes the Jinshi exam next year, I will grant you three years of grace. If you fail the exam, it means that you are young and ignorant and unable to serve your husband, then I will have to take a concubine for him.
Already."
"Yes." Zhao Linger agreed softly.
"Okay, I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."
"Mom, let me help you in." Mu Yunqing quickly stood up and helped her.
