Six hundred and twentieth chapters wedding turmoil
"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion presents a pair of jade Ruyi to congratulate Mr. Shen and Mrs. Qin on their marriage!"
"Prince Rui's Mansion sends a head and face set with gold wire and red orbs to wish the newlyweds a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
"The Protector's Mansion sent a box of East Pearls from the South China Sea..."
"Gonggong Lu's Mansion presents a set of jade ornaments!"
…
The aristocratic families were so generous with their gifts that the hand of the servant holding the gift list was unsteady.
Darling, these many good things are all wedding gifts for their eldest husband. This wedding is really impressive.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the dignitaries of various aristocratic families were not here for Shen Dalang and Qin Yanjun, but they couldn't write the word "chen" in one sentence. As the nephew of Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao, Shen Dalang was also the target of everyone's favour.
These gifts are said to be for Shen Dalang, rather they are for Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao.
They just hope to win the favor of these two people and let them take advantage of it.
In the middle of the crowd, Hou Shixian and Mrs. Hou looked at the lively Shen family, their eyes were sore and red.
Especially Hou Shixian, he regrets it now.
If he had known that the Qin family would be like this, he would have divorced Qin Huixin no matter what he said. Now that the in-laws have climbed to the top, they don't even have the chance to take advantage of it.
"Master, let's go give gifts too."
Mrs. Hou dressed up carefully today. Now the Hou family is not as good as before, especially because of the food and grass matter. The emperor punished her and Hou Shixian was exiled to the barbaric land. If it hadn't been for the amnesty and his good luck in camp, otherwise he would have been You can't come back after a narrow escape.
The clothes the two of them were wearing were from a few years ago, but these were good clothes that they kept on the back burner and were reluctant to wear on weekdays.
Mrs. Hou had a gold hairpin inserted into her bun. It was so light and weightless that anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was just coated with a layer of gold.
She was holding a mahogany box in her hand, and with an eager look on her face, she pushed Hou Shixian forward.
The Hou family is now in decline, and she is used to living a life of luxury and pleasure. She can no longer live in such poverty for a day.
Mrs. Hou thought about asking Hou Shixian to go to the Qin family and ask Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao to help them because they were once in-laws.
"Okay, let's squeeze in!"
Hou Shixian rubbed his hands, his eyes full of excitement, as if he had seen glory and wealth return to him.
"Master, the General's Mansion has also sent people to send congratulatory gifts."
Zhu Kuan held a mahogany tray and handed the gift to Jiang Miao.
Jiang Zhe has been sending things to the Shen Mansion these days. His fatherly heart that had been dead for many years suddenly came to life, and he tried to please Jiang Miao in every way. However, Jiang Miao didn't like this scumbag father, so she was naturally unmoved.
Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and even sent the gift to Shen Dalang's wedding banquet.
I saw a pair of warm jade placed on the tray. They were warm and translucent, and they were not ordinary at first sight.
Last time, Yingying took a piece of warm jade from Han Yu. It was an heirloom of the Han family, but compared with the two pieces in front of her, it was a bit inferior.
Jiang Zhe has been fighting for many years, and there are many good things in the warehouse. What he has delivered these few times is just a drop in the bucket, but this alone allows Jiang Miao to see the Jiang family's heritage.
No wonder Jiang Ru and Aunt Zhao are obsessed with inheriting the Jiang family. They are so rich and charming, who would be willing to give up the treasure that is within easy reach.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Miao's lips, and she waved her hand for Zhu Kuan to take the gift away.
"Since it's for Dalang and Yanjun, let's send it to them."
"yes."
This movement was noticed by the Hou family. If Jiang Miao didn't take such a nice warm jade in their eyes, then would she be even more disdainful of the ordinary or even slightly flawed jade pendant they gave her?
Hou Shixian's face showed hesitation, Mrs. Hou pinched his arm and persuaded him.
"What's going on with the Jiang family? What's going on with our family? The Hou family has fallen into decline. We also spent a lot of money to buy this jade pendant. Naturally, the princess understands our feelings. How can she dislike it? Master, are you right?"
Mrs. Hou's words brought Hou Shixian back to his senses, and he took out a breath and nodded heavily.
"What Madam said is that the Princess will not dislike it!"
They squeezed out from the crowd and brought the box to Jiang Miao. However, before they could get closer, they were stopped by Wu Yue and other guards.
"Who?"
Today is a big day and there are many people. In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in, Jiang Miao has brought many guards.
Not only to protect her, but also the safety of several little dumplings.
Wu Yue's sword pointed at Hou Shixian's chest, Hou Shixian's face turned pale, and Mrs. Hou next to her was so frightened that she almost cried.
"Princess, it's us, from the Hou family..."
Jiang Miaowen went out and saw Hou Shixian and Mrs. Hou with flattering faces.
She frowned slightly and saw a flash of surprise in Hou Shixian's eyes.
Wasn't this man exiled? How could he still be alive?
She didn't have a good impression of the Hou family. Not only did Hou Shixian let down shopkeeper Qin and bully Yuanyuan, but more importantly, the Hou family usurped grain and grass and almost harmed the people at the border with substandard goods.
The death of this family was not a pity, but now they are alive and well. Jiang Miao felt curious in her heart.
"What's up?"
Seeing that Jiang Miao was willing to pay attention to them, Hou Shixian and his wife's eyes lit up, and their stooped waists immediately straightened up, and they bossed Wu Yue and others around.
"The princess has spoken, but you still haven't taken your sword away!"
"That's right, our husband and wife are guests of the princess, so you'd better be polite to us!"
Wu Yue's face was cold and unmoved at all.
She was responsible for guarding Jiang Miao's safety. The two people in front of her looked mean and looked like they were not good people. How could she let them go?
Hou Shixian wanted to push Wu Yue away, but who was Wu Yue? His kung fu prevented him from even getting a chance to get close.
He struggled for a moment and finally gave up.
Hou Shixian cupped his hands, handed the mahogany box to him, and smiled flatteringly at Jiang Miao.
"Princess, I heard that the husband of the Shen family got married today, and he married a girl from the Qin family. The Hou family and the Qin family are also related by marriage. We should come to express our gratitude for such a good day."
"Yes, Princess, the young lady of the Qin family has to call me sister-in-law. We must drink this wedding wine."
There was a lot of commotion here, and the guests around them had already guessed the identity of Hou Shixian and his wife.
All the things they had done before were revealed, and everyone was shocked by the couple's shamelessness.
"Why did Hou Shixian have the nerve to come? The Qin family was in trouble. He abandoned the eldest daughter of the Qin family and allowed his daughter-in-law to flirt with the daughter of his ex-wife. If the princess hadn't been there, the eldest daughter of the Qin family and Hou Yuanyuan would have been in trouble.
A lot of good luck."
"Who says it's not the case? Now that I see the Qin family's life is getting better, I want to cling on to it again. This ability to stretch and contract is something that few people can match."
Hou Shixian listened to everyone's ridicule, a flash of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
