A verbal dispute was resolved simply and crudely, but with all kinds of looks and comments around him, Zhang Shou had no choice but to turn a blind eye and ignore it. When he finally arrived at Zhao Guogong's mansion and dismounted in the spotlight, he
Outside Zhao Guogong's mansion, I saw a very strange and handsome man standing proudly. He didn't show any timidity when he saw the matchmaker, the eldest son of King Jiangdu, coming forward.
That big man is Yang Xiong, Zhu Jing’s former general who is serving as the complimenter today. Of course, if he is still in the military and plays such a role in the wedding ceremony of Zhao Guogong’s mansion today, he might be impeached later. However,
, His majestic posture at this time is just an appearance. In fact, due to a serious shoulder injury, he had to retire from the military after the previous battle, and now he is already an idler.
Even so, even though the person standing in front of him who acted as the man's matchmaker was the eldest son of King Jiangdu, and might also be one of the candidates for Da Zongzheng in the future, he was still neither humble nor overbearing. After some contact, he let the person in, and he
But he came to Zhang Shou who was dismounting: "Uncle Weinan, who is presiding over the wedding, will come out to greet you soon. Please stay with me for a while."
Zhang Shou, who was called "uncle" by Zhu Ying, who had heard Zhu Ying introduce this person before but was meeting him for the first time, couldn't help but smile. However, he knew very well that it would be tiring to care about this scarred veteran at this moment.
, Yang Xiong, who had just grabbed the post of liker with a tough attitude, might think it was a shame, so he smiled and said: "I don't want to wait for an auspicious day like this."
Yang Xiong called him uncle, but in fact he was not familiar with the new uncle of Duke Zhao's family at all. He had only heard of his great reputation, and he had just seen the appearance that matched his eldest daughter Zhu Ying perfectly.
While admiring him in his heart, he couldn't help but wonder if he looked too thin, and he was also vaguely worried that this uncle might have the pretentiousness of civil servants.
But when he heard Zhang Shou straightforwardly saying that he didn't want to wait for a moment, he suddenly felt that the new uncle, who seemed to be a relegated immortal from heaven, suddenly became closer to him. He immediately forgot that others had gone through so much hardship when he became a praiser.
He firmly remembered the etiquette and said straightforwardly: "That is, no matter who wants to marry a peerless beauty like the eldest lady, he definitely doesn't want to wait for a moment!"
Zhang Chen, who was following Zhang Shou, had long forgotten the previous entanglement. He was dumbfounded as he watched Zhang Shou smiling and chatting happily with the person who praised him in front of the door. Even Lu Sanlang, who had also experienced the wedding scene before, couldn't help but
I feel like I have some toothache.
Being so arbitrary...does it really not matter?
The woman who hurried out to greet Zhang Shou's new son-in-law was officiating at the wedding. It was none other than Zhang Chen's father. His title was equal to that of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, and his personal relationship was fairly good with Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan. He had already discovered it at the door.
Zhang Shouzai was chatting and laughing with the admirer Yang Xiong. Although this was completely unethical, he just pretended not to see it.
When he coughed heavily and saw Yang Xiong finally waking up from a dream, he quickly brought Zhang Shou in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and bow to Zhang Shou before welcoming Zhang Shou in.
After a lot of salutes, salutes and other etiquette, Zhang Shou finally came to the main hall. At this time, Zhu Ying, who was wearing makeup, had already appeared in front of him, escorted by several mothers and girls.
before.
Even though the bright red hijab covered his face, the clear and beautiful face in the past was completely covered up at this moment, Zhang Shou couldn't help but look at Zhu Ying a few more times before he stepped forward.
As for his actions, the three fathers and sons of the Zhu family saw it in their eyes, but their moods were different.
Zhu Er was in the simplest mood. When he thought about how he almost betrothed his sister to Little Fatty Lu, he felt like he was in a state of hell - not to mention that Little Fatty Lu was a first-rate yin.
When it comes to being so evil-minded, I can't beat him. Although Zhang Shou is more evil-minded than Fatty Lu, at least he is quite honest with him and shows him a clear path.
Now that his sister finally found someone to support him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it wasn't the feeling that his sister who couldn't get married finally got married, it was the feeling of relief that the mountain on his head had finally moved away. Of course, it was not without sadness, because
The person in the family who was most willing to lend him money was gone.
But Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, father and son, both had an inexplicable emotion of reluctance lingering there.
Zhu Jing said rigidly, "When you go to your daughter's house, be obedient and never forget to be respectful." However, his eyes were piercing Zhang Shou like a knife. Compared with Jiuniang's smiling expression next to him, he was very different. Especially
He frowned even more when he noticed that Jiuniang's instructions to "do not disobey my uncle's orders" were made in a gentle and pleasant voice, without any concern for his daughter's future audible.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, the ceremony had come to an end. Seeing Zhang Shou saluting and Zhu Ying saying goodbye reluctantly, surrounded by a group of servants and women, and about to go out, he suddenly spoke and said: "Da Lang, I will send you off in person."
younger sister."
Knowing that it was always the rule for his brother to send her off in person, his words were nonsense, so he added with a straight face: "After you send her off, ride a horse to escort your sister to Zhang Yuan, attend the wedding banquet, and then come back."
The smiling face of Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, the woman's host, suddenly froze on his face, and Zhu Er's face was full of astonishment. If it is a distant marriage, it is common for the father and brother to come to the husband's family, but the two families are so close! Jiuniang couldn't help but help her
Well, I was secretly glad that no other relatives and friends could come to this official place, otherwise it would be fun to spread the word. But at this moment, Zhu Tingfang actually agreed simply and neatly.
"Yes, father, please don't worry."
Her neck was stiff due to the weight of her wedding dress and hair crown. In addition, Wu treated her as if she were her daughter. Zhu Ying did not feel at all that she would not be able to come back after getting married. She cried when she needed to cry just now in Qing'an Hall.
She wasn't too sad to begin with, but when faced with her father and elder brother's unconventional behavior, she finally couldn't help but raise her hijab and yelled: "Dad, elder brother, what do you want to do?"
The bride actually put up a red hijab in the main hall before resigning, and Zhu Jing insisted on letting his eldest son send Zhu Ying to Zhang Yuan. This is simply a mountain that is getting higher. However, the people in the main hall have already
He was used to being stunned, but if he stared now, his eyes would only be so big... But Zhu Jing was a little embarrassed by his daughter's anger, and immediately became sullen.
"Put your hijab on properly, and don't forget that my uncle is here too. What do you look like!"
However, as soon as Zhu Jing finished his reprimand, he heard Zhang Shou's leisurely voice: "I would like to teach my father-in-law to know that Yingying has always been innocent and willful. I just like this about her. How could I do that?"
care?"
If Zhu Ying's words and deeds just now were out of line, then Jiuniang and Zhu Er were overjoyed to hear Zhang Shou's words of unconditional support for her. Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin State, laughed dumbly, but Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang really
It’s ridiculous.
Especially when they saw Zhang Shou step forward to help Zhu Ying put down the red hijab, and then whispered a few words to her, the father and son were speechless even if they wanted to find fault - what could they say?
Do you dislike or blame Zhang Shou for favoring Zhu Ying? Are you kidding? Who in the mother's family doesn't want the new uncle to prefer his daughter?
Just when Zhu Tingfang decided to ignore the situation and just pretend to be deaf and dumb and send his sister to Zhang Yuan, it would be better for him to sneak in there to observe the wedding and feel at ease, but he only listened to Zhang Shou's words.
Opened his mouth.
"However, Yingying, please don't fight with your father-in-law and eldest brother. Which daughter in the capital can allow her brother to condescend and escort her all the way to her husband's house? What's more, a man like eldest brother who is well-known in the capital and upright? You just let eldest brother.
Send it away, if the eldest brother is willing to have a glass of water and wine in Zhangyuan and go back, I will also welcome you."
Before the father and son on the side could speak, Jiuniang smiled and said, "My uncle has already said this, so let's go ahead and save your father from worrying. Yingying, don't forget this either."
It's a big day for a wedding, so don't be petty when you have nothing to do. When you get there, you can't be as casual as at home. You have to endure everything, at least after today."
Zhu Er was so impressed that he fell into admiration. This was Zhu Ying. If he had been so outrageous on the wedding day, he would have been beaten to death by his parents and even his grandmother! According to what his stepmother meant, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted after today?
Is Zhu Ying happy?
But it's normal. Just look at how Zhang Shou indulges Zhu Ying on weekdays. Wu's mother-in-law treats Zhu Ying more dearly than her daughter. Zhu Ying's marriage is really no different from returning home...
Everything he could say was said by Zhang Shou and Jiuniang, and Zhu Jing could not find anything else to say. However, facing the only outsider present today, Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, he still had to stand up and bow as if to make amends.
He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Qin, my children are so ignorant that they make you laugh."
"It's okay, it's okay. There are tens of thousands of marriages in this capital every year, but there are very few who are as in tune with each other as they are. I feel envious when I look at it!" Zhang Chuan chuckled, and then said meaningfully, "I just hope that I
One day I can have such a good daughter-in-law and be as blessed as my brother."
After being told by her parents and Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying finally acted like a good girl. From saluting to going out, the eldest lady never caused any trouble. However, when she got on the sedan chair, she heard countless familiar voices outside.
With the unfamiliar voice, she finally had some real feelings about leaving home and getting married.
From today on, she is no longer just a daughter of the Zhu family, but more of a wife of the Zhang family... If she marries someone other than Zhang Shou, every time she wants to go home in the future, she will need her husband's approval and her parents-in-law to nod.
No matter what grievances you suffer, you have to bear them all by yourself.
If that's the case, will she cry loudly in the sedan chair when she gets married? Or will she still hold her head high, just like she did when she was the daughter of a boudoir, and she will still be as determined as ever to crush her if she doesn't agree with her?
Just when Zhu Ying was thinking about it, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the sedan: "Yingying, it's only three days. You can come back after three days. After you come back, do you want to live in the right place?"
You can live opposite Yue, and come back to visit if you want. The so-called marriage is actually the most generous thing for girls, because you will have two families in the future."
Zhu Tingfang saw Zhang Shou coming to the sedan and talking to Zhu Ying with a smile. With his ear, he could hear every word clearly. And even he couldn't help but be moved after hearing these words.
.
Even though he always knew that this marriage was the best choice for his sister and the Zhu family, because Zhang Shou did not have a prominent background or a rich family of relatives and friends, but he was a hero who emerged from nowhere with outstanding talents.
, and he is also very good to Zhu Ying. However, he has never recognized his sister's vision like he does now.
Even he would not tell his wife that you will have two families in the future. For him, even if Uncle Weinan is his father-in-law, he will take care of the affairs of his father-in-law's family, but he will never regard the two families as the same.
Chong. Apart from Zhang Shou, there is probably no other man in the world who would say this to Zhu Ying. After all, although there are no domestic affairs in the Duke of Zhao's house, there are always a lot of things that people find trouble with!
Zhu Ying's messy thoughts in the sedan were washed away by Zhang Shou's words. She almost opened the sedan curtain to speak to Zhang Shou, but when she caught the sedan curtain, she finally woke up.
Now she was on the sedan chair. Therefore, she could only put down her hand in annoyance, and then hummed softly: "Ah Shou, hurry up and go ahead. If people see it, they will definitely tell you that you are impatient!"
"If you dislike me for being impatient now, then I'm sorry, it's already too late."
Hearing the sudden silence in the sedan, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing. When he turned around and rode back to the front, he pretended not to see the subtle looks from the people around him.
You know, those who had once admired Zhu Ying all felt that their eyes were going to be blinded. They had tried to use such nice words to seduce Zhu Ying before, but the result was... almost
The eldest lady bombarded her to pieces! But now it was Zhang Shou who said such completely teasing words. The eldest lady in the sedan chair turned into Wen Jing and looked like everyone's daughter, but she didn't even react!
And Zhu Ying in the sedan was really shocked. You know, Zhang Shou said that in the main hall of Zhao Guogong's mansion before, and that's it, but now in public, not only the eldest brother is there, but also there are so many people.
People who knew her were there too! Even though she wasn't ashamed and angry because of this, she couldn't help but punch the cushion under her.
It is said that a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change... But Zhang Shou is becoming less and less like the stupid gentleman he used to be!
Although it has been a long-standing custom in the capital to take advantage of a good day when a wealthy family is getting married to stop in a sedan chair to congratulate them, and then take the opportunity to ask for wedding money, and will never leave without giving them enough money, on this day, the sedan chair of Zhao Guogong's Mansion arrived
However, there were only people watching the excitement in the street, and there was no beggar or idler without eyes who came to ask for wedding money.
Especially when they saw Zhu Tingfang riding a horse beside the sedan chair like a guard, those idle gangs in the capital who reluctantly gave up this huge fortune all congratulated themselves on their wisdom. Looking at this posture, Master Zhu suddenly wanted to
Escorting his sister all the way to her husband's house, if they had stopped the sedan before, wouldn't they have been on Mr. Zhu's blacklist?
The reason why Zhang Shou agreed to escort Zhu Tingfang all the way was because he had heard about the customs in the capital. Although he was rich, he now had a wife. He broke a penny in half and spent it, but he had no interest in helping those lazy people.
. Just walking along like this, when he saw Zhang Yuan looking at him, he heard the crackling sound of firecrackers. At that moment, the real feeling of getting married came to him.
