"I'm here to deliver a wedding cake." Su Hai saw that His Majesty and his cousin were there, and quickly saluted, "I will see the Emperor, the Queen."
"General Su, no courtesy." Si Haochen nodded slightly, "Sit down."
"Thank...your majesty for the seat." Su Hai is stationed in the border town all year round and is rather reserved when getting along with Mingruo and Si Haochen.
"You don't have to be polite, eldest cousin." Mingruo smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Did your eldest cousin come back specially to attend your fourth cousin's wedding?"
"That's not true..." Su Hai looked around.
Lao Shen was a perceptive person, so he smiled and said: "General Su ordered a plaster to dispel dampness. We have already made it, and we will go get it for you."
"Thank you." Su Hai bowed his hand.
Lao Shen asked Nan Xing to pack plasters together, and told the nursing home to keep irrelevant people away from the main hall.
Only Si Haochen, Mingruo and Su Hai were left in the main hall, and Su Hai spoke: "To report to the emperor, poisonous people like walking corpses have appeared in the Jiuyang Mountain area in the southwest of the border city, in the former Xikang territory. These poisonous people are very strange.
Some of the people and livestock bitten by them were dead or injured, and those who survived were scattered around, waiting for opportunities to attack people and livestock...
Currently, we are only active near Jiuyang Mountain. If things continue like this, I am afraid it will become a disaster. Your Majesty, please take precautions and make an early decision."
"Huh?" Mingruo couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. The other party obviously didn't put all their eggs in the same basket and was still refining Gu people elsewhere.
"Can we trace what force controls the poisonous person?" Si Haochen rubbed the finger on his hand.
"The other party is very cunning. I have been tracking him for a long time, but I have only found some connection with the black witches of Xikang." Since I am not good at poisonous poison, I can't track him too closely, and the information I collect is very limited.
"I will handle this matter, you don't have to pursue it." The black witch lineage almost killed the white witch lineage, so Si Haochen decided to give Feng Muling and A Yuan a chance for revenge.#@$&
"The general will obey the order." Su Hai bowed and saluted.
"Why is the eldest cousin here to deliver the wedding cake? What is the fourth cousin doing?" Mingruo picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Hai.
"Ayou personally went to the Si Mansion to deliver wedding cakes. He has to have lunch before he can come back." Su Hai drank all the tea in front of him, "I have to go elsewhere to deliver wedding cakes. I will take my leave first."
"Cousin, go and get busy. I'll take the plaster to the general's mansion later." Mingruo decided to visit his grandfather and grandmother before returning to the palace.
"Then I'll ask Queen Lao." Su Hai hurriedly went to deliver wedding cakes to other houses.%&(&
In the afternoon, Mingruo rode a carriage to the General's Mansion. His Majesty Yunhuang, who wanted to "fish" with his wife, was "ordered" by the Queen to return to the palace to handle government affairs.
The general's residence was full of joy, especially the courtyard where Su You lived, with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, and the maids and servants were busy non-stop.
"Come on, come on, bring the two boys over here." Xi Po, with a big velvet flower in her hair, greeted.
The mother-in-law took two fat babies, who were all dressed up, and put them on the bed sprinkled with jujubes, peanuts and various dried fruits, and let them play.
Mingruo blinked, not understanding what he was doing.
"This is a bed-pressing prayer, wishing that the newlyweds will have many children and grandchildren." The third aunt took Mingruo to the outside room, "They still want to 'play' for a while, let's go to my yard to talk."
"Auntie doesn't need to greet me. It's okay if you don't help. You can't cause trouble." Mingruo asked Shishi to bring up the gifts prepared for Su You and said with a smile, "Third aunt will collect these things for my cousin first. I'm going to go
I went to say hello to my grandmother."
"If you go to see the old lady, your aunt will not keep you." Mrs. Su San called her maid, "Bring back some of the dried and fresh fruits and wine sent by your uncle."
"Yes." The maid agreed and quickly went to prepare.
Mingruo went to pay his respects to his grandmother. His eldest aunt and second aunt were also there, and they started chatting about Beijing gossip.
The second aunt smiled and said: "I don't know where it came from. It is said that the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Master, and it is the most suitable for getting married. Every government gathers together to hold weddings, and the snack shops in the city that make betrothal cakes are too busy.
Come on, many people can’t buy bedding cakes..."
"Isn't that right? I went out at noon and all the red silk and satin in the cloth shop were not available. Fortunately, we got there early." The eldest aunt also shook her head, "I asked the Imperial Master to choose the day for Ayou and Yu Ning to get married.
That's right, but it's also calculated based on the birth date, and I don't know what they're doing with it..."
After listening to the words of the eldest aunt and the second aunt, Mingruo finally understood why various governments gathered together to hold happy events.
But Mingruo felt that this matter was even weirder - it was not surprising that the common people followed the trend, but wealthy families were very strict about choosing a wedding date, and they would always ask someone to make calculations, so they would not be so hasty in general.
"Does Second Aunt know which mansions will be used for wedding events in the future?"
"The Zhao family in the back alley of Sijia belongs to the house of Mr. Zhao who was demoted. There is also the Qi family in Tonghua Lane, which is in the spice business. His master has a good relationship with Master Bai." The second aunt thought for a moment and then said.
, "There is still our family in the east of the city, and the same family in the west of the city is marrying a young lady from the Zhao family, and there is also a married daughter from the Taipusi Qing family...
There are two or three in the south and north of the city, but they rarely come around with us, and I don’t pay much attention to them."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded, "Except for our family, are all the married women in the east of the city?"
"Haha, Ruo'er is good at asking questions." Mrs. Su smiled, "It's true, but it's not true either. The others are marrying off their daughters, and the Qi family is looking for a son-in-law.
This young lady from the Qi family was a strange person. She had made several marriages, but her fiancée was either ill or the family was in decline. Seeing that her daughter was already twenty and could not leave the house, Mrs. Qi was so anxious that her hair turned white.
Hearing that Baiheguan prayed for a miraculous marriage, he took Miss Qi to Wuzhou to pray for blessings. The Taoist priest of Baiheguan said that Miss Qi had a hard fate and would be punished by the Kefu family. She could not get married and could only recruit children.
Therefore, tomorrow the Qi family’s sedan chair will go to the Sun family in the north of the city to marry the ‘groom’.”
"If you ask me, the girls of the Qi family also have a hard life." Mrs. Su Er sighed, "The eldest son of the Sun family is just fat and has big ears. He is also very naughty."
"Hey, there is nothing we can do about it." Mrs. Su also felt regretful, "There are not many families who are willing to marry into the family, not to mention that the family background is too low and Mrs. Qi can't look down on her."
"Every family background is protected by the ancestors, it is better to find someone with good character and willingness to make progress, otherwise it will harm the girl's family for the rest of her life." Mrs. Su waved her hand, "Don't talk about other people's affairs. Starting from tomorrow, relatives everywhere will
We are coming to congratulate you, please greet those three aunts and six women, don't let them pick and choose and gossip."
"We have made arrangements, so don't worry, mother."
"Do you need my help?" Mingruo didn't like staying in the palace and wished he could go out every day.
"My little ancestor, please stop messing around." Mrs. Su poked Mingruo's forehead, "You are the queen, and you entertain them personally, do you want to kill them?"
