If those two people were really present, how could he avoid them? With the word "filial piety" in mind, he had to take the initiative to come forward and greet them.
Thinking of her mother's family's attitude, Mrs. Hou sighed and said, "On the day Mrs. Li Si got her hairpin,
Your aunt talked about your marriage again and again... I originally thought that it would be better for them to settle the marriage between you and A-Wei years ago.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qian is ill, so it would be foolish for us to come to propose marriage at this stall."
Mrs. Hou sighed repeatedly, and Shi Jingyang said calmly, "The next time my aunt talks about this matter, I will blame it on my father. The father is the one in charge of our family."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "That's how I responded to her."
The carriage suddenly stopped. Shi Jingyang looked up and saw a long queue of carriages in front of him. He turned to Qingshan and said, "Let someone take a look!"
Qingshan bowed in agreement, turned around and gave instructions.
After a while, the person who had been sent back came back and reported: "Come back to Master Ning Yuan, the makeup delivery team from Uncle Ning Yuan's Mansion passed by, and the carriages on the road stopped to make way."
It is a custom in the capital city that when a man and a woman get married, the man will provide a house and all the utensils in the house will be provided by the woman in marriage.
On the first day of the wedding, the woman's relatives and friends send dowry to the man, which is called a dowry gift.
Shi Jingyang looked back and saw that after seeing the Hou Mansion's motorcade, many more cars were lined up. He said, "The front and back are blocked. I'm afraid we have to wait for a while."
Mrs. Hou said: "Just wait for the big day. We can also enjoy the happiness of the master's family."
Shi Jingyang smiled and said: "Aniang has a good attitude!"
Mrs. Hou looked at Shi Jingyang and said with a smile, "What else? What's the use of getting angry when something like this happens?"
Shi Jingchen poked his head out of the carriage behind and asked, "Brother, why did you stop?"
Shi Jingyang replied: "There is a makeup delivery team in front of us, we can't leave at the moment."
Shi Jingchen heard that he encountered a makeup delivery team and asked Shi Jingxing to go with him to watch the fun.
Shi Jingxing declined politely, but Shi Jingchen didn't force himself and immediately jumped out of the car, "Mom, brother, I'm going to go see the excitement and feel happy!"
Mrs. Hou knew that her little daughter had escaped and did not stop her. She said, "Go ahead! Pay attention to safety."
After speaking, Mrs. Hou told the maid serving Shi Jingchen: "Take good care of Sister Chen."
The maid and her mother-in-law bowed in agreement and protected Shi Jingchen from leaving.
Shi Jingyang looked at Qingshan and said, "Arrange for two people to follow him, just in case something unexpected happens."
Qingshan quickly arranged for the two of them to follow him.
Mrs. Hou smiled and glanced at Shi Jingyang, "Brother Le is too cautious. Sister Chen is like that. It's fine if she doesn't bully others. Who dares to bully her?"
Shi Jingyang followed Mrs. Hou's words and said, "Well, my son is just worried that Sister Chen will cause trouble, so let people keep an eye on him."
Shi Jingxing got off the carriage at the back and walked towards Mrs. Hou with a smile, just in time to hear the conversation between his mother and his brother.
She smiled and said, "Sister Chen will probably cry if she knows that her mother and brother have hurt her so much."
"Are we hurting her? We are obviously praising her!" Mrs. Hou said with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Xingchang and Mrs. Qi coming this way, Qingshan hurriedly reported: "Madam, the Crown Prince, Mrs. Qi and the Fourth Master of the Jiang Mansion are coming this way."
Shi Jingyang turned around and looked over and saw Jiang Xingchangxu supporting his mother, Mrs. Qi, coming this way.
Shi Jingyang got off his horse, smiled and bowed to greet me: "Hello, my cousin! Well done!"
Shi Jingxing was ecstatic when he heard Jiang Xingchang coming over. He turned his head and looked over, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xingchang in indigo clothes.
When Jiang Xingchang looked at him, he quickly looked away and followed his brother to greet Mrs. Qi and Jiang Xingchang.
Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Qi got on very well with each other. When they heard that Mrs. Qi was coming, they got out of the car happily.
After some pleasantries, Mrs. Hou let Mrs. Qi into the carriage.
Shi Jingxing wanted to follow him and get into the car, but Jiang Xingchang stopped him, "Sister Xing, I heard that makeup giving is very lively, let's go together and watch the excitement, okay?"
Shi Jingxing didn't expect Jiang Xingchang to ask her out, and looked at Jiang Xingchang blankly, without any reaction for a moment.
Shi Jingyang was slightly surprised, "Sister Chen is so lively, I can't wait to get there. Sister Xing..."
Before Shi Jingyang could finish speaking, Shi Jingxing hurriedly interrupted his brother, "Okay, fourth brother, let's go together. Brother, do you want to go?"
Shi Jingyang looked at Shi Jingxing, then at Jiang Xingchang, shook his head and said, "You go ahead, I'll stay to take care of grandma and my cousin."
Mrs. Qi looked at Shi Jingxing and Jiang Xingchang who were leaving, looked back at Mrs. Hou, and leaned towards Mrs. Hou.
When Mrs. Hou saw it, she approached Mrs. Qi tactfully and asked softly: "My cousin, do you have something to tell me?"
Mrs. Qi nodded, leaned next to Mrs. Hou, and whispered: "Yesterday, my sister-in-law came over to visit my mother."
Mrs. Qi's sister-in-law is Mrs. Li, the wife of the Crown Prince of Chengguo Palace.
Mrs. Hou pricked up her ears and nodded while listening.
Mrs. Qi lowered her voice, "I happened to be in my mother's room when my sister-in-law came.
You know, my sister-in-law is not usually very close to my mother."
Mrs. Cui did not like her daughter-in-law to have too much contact with her sister-in-law. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li both avoided suspicion and had very little contact with each other.
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Yes, I know this."
Mrs. Qi's voice became lower and lower, "Sister-in-law sat in my mother's room for a long time after passing the house yesterday.
I saw the way she was hesitant to speak, and knew that she wanted to avoid talking to me, so I took the initiative to avoid her with an excuse."
Mrs. Hou turned her head to look at Mrs. Qi and asked softly: "What did my sister-in-law say to my aunt? Does it have to do with me?"
Mrs. Qi held Mrs. Hou's hand and whispered: "Don't be excited, it has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with Brother Le."
When Mrs. Hou heard this, what else didn't she understand?
Asked: "My sister-in-law is here for Brother Le's marriage? She wants to invite my aunt to marry Brother Le and Sister Yi?"
Mrs. Qi nodded, "Well, that's it.
The mother sent the person out at that time, and only the two of them know what they said in detail in the room.
When I returned to my mother's yard from the kitchen, my sister-in-law just said goodbye and left.
I saw that my sister-in-law looked very relaxed, not as worried as when she arrived, and she even thanked her mother. I was very grateful to her.
I don't know what advice my mother gave to my sister-in-law.
Zhangzhu said, Brother Le and Ah Wei are engaged and they are in love, let me give you some relief so that you can feel prepared."
Mrs. Hou held Mrs. Qi's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, cousin, I know."
Mrs. Qi smiled and shook her head, "As a family, there is no need to say polite words. By the way, have you discussed Sister Xing's marriage?"
Mrs. Hou shook her head, "No, cousin, you know the situation in the Hou Mansion.
In a family like ours, it is easy to marry a wife, but it is difficult to marry a daughter."
According to the family rules of the Shi family, men only marry wives and do not take concubines. Those who marry girls from the Shi family do not take concubines.
