Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Quyuan Street,

At the gate of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion,

The wedding procession arrived here with music and drums,

There were many families of the old friends of the Marquis' Mansion near the gate, and the people of Bianjing who loved to watch the excitement followed the outside of the wedding procession.

You know, sometimes the groom is stumped by the bride's family,

When he admits defeat, he may throw red paper packages containing dates, cakes, pancakes or copper coins to the onlookers.

Hu Yanjiong, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, got off the horse with his family members decorated with silk flowers on their heads, and the children of his maternal grandfather's family, the Pan family.

Looking at the group of people standing at the gate, Hu Yanjiong cupped his hands and smiled, "Brothers, please show mercy!"

The young men behind Hu Yanjiong laughed along.

Seeing the group of civil and military children behind Zai Zhang, let alone now, even if nothing happened in the Jinghai Marquis' Mansion before, they would be a little scared.

"Brother Jiong, my sister is going to marry me today. There are two tests, civil and military. Which one do you want to pass first?"

After hearing Zai Zhang's words, Hu Yan Jiong looked at the boy beside him and smiled bitterly:

"San Lang, I don't know if Wu Lang can pass the military test or not?"

Zai Zhang: "Of course he can."

Hu Yan Jiong looked at his cousins ​​beside him. They all shook their heads slightly. They knew the name of Xu Zai Jing, the little devil, well.

Hu Yan Jiong turned around and was about to admit defeat when he saw Xu Zai Jing behind Zai Zhang blink his left eye and look straight at him.

In an instant, Hu Yan Jiong had an idea and flashed through his mind the good times he and Xu Zai Jing had on the polo field.

"Okay! Then I'll pass the military test first!"

When Hu Yan Jiong said this,

his cousins ​​were all surprised,

and the people watching the excitement around him cheered and applauded Hu Yan Jiong after hearing his words.

Not far away, the Bian Jing yamen runner in charge of maintaining order looked back and said to his colleagues:

"This Huyan family brother is a person who refuses to admit defeat!"

The Li yamen runner on the side glared at the thief in the crowd and said, "The two families are married, do you think the Xu family brother will really embarrass his brother-in-law?"

"Hiss, Li is right!"

While the two were talking, Qingyun had already moved out a table.

Zai Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Jiong, come on, the first level, arm wrestling!"

Huyan Jiong walked to the table with a smile on his face, looked at Xu Zaijing who came out from behind Zai Zhang, and nodded with a smile on his lips.

Then, the two bent down, put their elbows on the table, and held their right hands together.

Hu Yanjiong glanced at the Xu family relatives at the table, then at Zai Zhang who was acting as the referee, and whispered to Xu Zaijing in front of him: "Jing brother, good brother!"

Xu Zaijing looked at Hu Yanjiong with a smile on his face, and whispered: "Yeah! Good brother!"

"Start!"

"Pah!"

Hu Yanjiong stared blankly at his arm pressed on the table, and then looked at Xu Zaijing who stood up and waved to the onlookers.

The surroundings were full of cheers from the onlookers.

Hu Yanjiong smiled bitterly, knowing that he had fallen into Xu Zaijing's trap.

Looking at Xu Zaijing looking at him proudly, Hu Yanjiong: "You kid!"

At this time,

both the old friends of the Marquis' Mansion and the onlookers cheered.

This was because the servants of the Hu Yan family were throwing dates and fried beans at the people, mixed with copper coins and pancakes.

Fortunately, Zai Zhang and Gu Tingyu came on stage later.

Although Zai Zhang also exercised on weekdays, he was not as strong as Hu Yanjiong. After a stalemate, his hand was pressed on the table.

The Xu family lost a game.

There was a woman like Hua Qing, who grabbed the far end of the basket with her left hand and stuck the near end on her waist. After walking in front of the onlookers, she grabbed a handful of red paper bags in the basket with her right hand and threw them out.

There was another round of cheers.

The last person to come on stage was Gu Tingyu, who was also beaten by Hu Yanjiong.

The next one was Wenguan.

All those who tried in Hu Yanjiong's mansion had some difficulties. Although Gu Tingyu tried hard to let him go,

but. The basket on the waist of the servant of Hu Yanjiong's family was almost empty.

Fortunately, there was a boy from the Pan family who was studying. After answering reluctantly, Hu Yanjiong was able to enter the gate of the Xu family.

In the hall,

Xu Zaijing looked at his elder brother Xu Zaiduan standing next to Zai Zhang, standing in front of the chair where his father should have sat.

On the other side, his elder sister Pingmei and second sister-in-law Hualan were both pregnant and did not attend. Only Xie stood next to his mother.

Sitting on the chairs were the elders of the family, and servants and maids stood around them.

They kept whispering to each other, making the room very lively.

Looking at Hu Yanjiong holding a large red silk flower in his hand, standing in the middle of the hall a little awkwardly,

Xu Zaijing knew that this was because when people in the hall whispered to each other, most of them would look at him, and it was obviously related to him.

Amid the joyful shouts of Madam Quanfu,

Xu Zaijing saw his sister An Mei wearing a green wedding dress, an exquisite crown, holding a round fan in her hand, and walking over with the help of Madam Quanfu.

An Mei stood beside Hu Yanjiong under the guidance of Madam Quanfu, and Madam Quanfu took the red silk flower from Hu Yanjiong's hand.

In Xu Zaijing's sight, his sister holding a round fan and Hu Yanjiong, who was a little nervous, looked at each other for some reason,

and then separated quickly, and Hu Yanjiong's face turned red visibly.

There was laughter from the crowd in the hall.

The two became more nervous.

Then,

Qingcao walked in front of the two with a tray with a teacup on it.

Hu Yanjiong picked up the teacup with trembling hands, walked to Sun, bowed and said: "Mother-in-law, please have tea!"

Sun looked at Hu Yanjiong with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction, took the teacup and took a sip, and after a few instructions, Hu Yanjiong and An Mei hurriedly responded.

After Sun put down the teacup, Hua Xiang hurriedly walked to the newlyweds with a tray.

Hu Yanjiong took a deep breath, held the teacup with both hands, walked to Xu Zaiduan who was standing, and bowed:

"Brother, please have tea on behalf of your father-in-law."

Xu Zaiduan smiled and held the teacup, also took a sip, and after a few instructions, Zaiduan continued:

"Father specifically told me to convey it."

Hu Yanjiong bowed deeper,

"Father said that you have worked hard these days! Father has kept it in mind."

After saying this,

The children of the Huyan family and the Pan family outside the hall looked at each other in surprise.

In the hall, Sun, who was sitting next to him, also looked at Hu Yanjiong with a smile.

The Jin Kingdom caught falcons and entered the river in winter.

Hu Yanjiong, who bowed, felt his nose sore and his eyes hot. When he looked up at people, his vision was a little blurry.

"It's my son-in-law, remember it."

"My daughter, remember it."

This made An Mei, who was a little sad about the separation, not know what to do:

This. Shouldn't I be the one crying?

Why are you crying again!

Zaiduan looked at Hu Yanjiong's appearance, hurriedly stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and wiped his tears.

Then, Zaiduan glanced at his sister An Mei, smiled and said, "Go!"

Mrs. Quanfu heard what Zaiduan said and shouted loudly, "Bridegroom, bride, let's go out!"

Before Pingmei's wedding, it was the eldest brother Zaiduan who carried Pingmei out to the sedan chair, and Zai Zhang followed the wedding team to Gu's house.

At Anmei's wedding, Zai Zhang carried Anmei out of the gate, and Xu Zaijing followed behind to Huyan's house.

Xu Zaijing didn't ride a few handsome horses such as Liju, so as not to steal the limelight from the groom, so he rode a normal one.

After a lively moment, Xu Zaijing rode a horse and talked with the boys of Huyan and Pan families, following behind.

Behind them was a long procession of people carrying dowries,

One hundred and twenty-eight loads of dowries, a magnificent sight.

An Mei, who was in the sedan chair, looked at the round fan in her hand, listened to the festive music outside, and thought of Huyan Jiong crying, and she curled her lips.

Wei Yuyi and her husband put the last piece of luggage into the house.

Standing at the door,

Looking at the small but complete courtyard, Wei Yuyi smiled and said to her husband:

"This boss treats us so well! Such a good courtyard is actually letting us live in!"

"Mother has a maid to take care of her. Let's go out to buy some vegetables and have a good meal tonight."

The sturdy man said: "Then when will you tell your sister that we came to Beijing but didn't write a letter."

Wei Yuyi sighed and said:

"Wait until we have arranged everything, and then ask your sister to come home to see us."

The man said: "Is it okay? Can your elder sister come out?"

Wei Yuyi turned around and looked at his mother who had some difficulty seeing in the house, and said:

"Sister also gave birth to a son for the Sheng family."

"I haven't seen my mother for so many years. It should be okay for her to come out!"

"If you don't let her out, it won't sound good if you tell others. It will not be good for Mr. Sheng's official reputation."

The man nodded.

After that, Wei Yuyi gave a few instructions and walked out with her husband.

On the way,

"I wonder if my sister can eat Chuzhou's food at Sheng's house. Let's go find a place to sell fish first."

Wei Yuyi said, asking her husband and passers-by.

"Selling fish? Qiao's seafood business is big. Just go two intersections and turn right, and you'll see it!"

Following the instructions of the roadside vendor, Wei Yuyi and her husband hurriedly thanked him.

Before they reached the second intersection, they heard the sound of music.

When they arrived at the intersection, it was already full of people watching the excitement.

Wei Yuyi also happened to see someone holding a wooden sign with red silk tied to it, leading the way and passing in front of the crowd.

Wei Yuyi and her husband squeezed forward and looked at the lively wedding procession. Wei Yuyi said to the woman in a thorny hairpin and cloth skirt next to him:

"Sister, which family is getting married at this time? It's really spectacular!"

The woman looked at Wei Yuyi's silver hairpin and silk dress, and hurriedly smiled and said, "My lady! This is the daughter of the Xu family of Yongyi Marquis getting married, and she is marrying the son of the Huyan family of Jinghai Marquis."

Hearing this, Wei Yuyi nodded.

When Wei Yuyi's husband heard this, he looked at Wei Yuyi in surprise and said, "My lady, Yongyi Marquis? Is that the family that invited you to board the ship?"

Wei Yuyi nodded.

Soon, the groom on a big horse passed by in front.

In the wedding procession,

Xu Zaijing rode on a horse, talking to people while scanning the roadside.

Suddenly, Xu Zaijing was stunned. The Pan family brother noticed and said, "Jing brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Zaijing: "Nothing! I saw an acquaintance."

Walking forward, when passing the intersection, Xu Zaijing nodded to Wei Yuyi in the crowd and said, "Madam Wei, long time no see!"

Wei Yuyi's face was full of surprise. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Hello, Yanei!"

This exchange attracted the people of Bianjing to look at Wei Yuyi.

When the wedding procession passed by, the woman in the thorn hairpin and cloth skirt looked at Wei Yuyi in surprise and said, "Where are you going, madam?"

When they arrived at the new house of Huyan's family,

After a lively atmosphere, the newlyweds entered the hall,

Huyan Hai and Madam Pan were sitting on the chairs at the top,

Standing next to them were Huyan Jiong's brother and sister-in-law.

Sitting around the room were the elders of the Huyan family, as well as the wives of the third and fourth rooms, and behind the wives stood their daughters-in-law and maids.

When An Mei entered the room, everyone's eyes were full of joy.

Now that the Marquis of Yongyi is in use, this marriage will be much better for the careers of his children and the family economy in the future.

Hu Yanhai and his wife smiled and ate the tea offered by Hu Yanjiong and An Mei.

After the couple bowed to each other, in the sound of "sending to the bridal chamber\

,"Mrs. Pan and Hu Yanhai looked at each other, and then watched their son walk out of the hall with satisfaction.

After Hu Yanjiong and An Mei completed the procedures of tying the hair and drinking the wedding wine, they were pulled out to toast, and soon only An Mei and the maid were left in the bridal chamber.

After Ye'er closed the door, An Mei also put down the round fan,

The master and servant looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Yeer took off the colorful crown for Anmei and said:

"Girl, take a rest first. Don't worry. I'll send a maid to watch at the gate of the courtyard. When Master Jiong comes, we'll put it on again!"

Anmei nodded.

At the wedding banquet of the Huyan family,

Huyan Hai and Madam Pan raised their wine glasses and toasted their relatives with laughter, their faces sore from laughing.

At the end of the Xu hour (after 9 pm),

the guests were arranged properly,

Madam Pan sat on the chair in the bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

Huyan Hai was also in high spirits because of the happy event. Although he drank a lot of wine, he was still sober.

With the help of his personal servant, Huyan Hai also returned to his room.

The maid left the room, and the couple drank the sobering soup and chatted with each other.

"Sir, do you know what the eldest son of the Xu family said today on behalf of Xu Hou?"

Hu Yanhai exhaled a breath of alcohol and said, "I know. People still remember the good things about Jiong."

Mrs. Pan sighed and said, "Jiong is the same. How can he cry directly after just one sentence!"

Leaning on the backrest, Hu Yanhai, who was a little dizzy from drinking, closed his eyes and said, "Madam, you don't understand men's affairs."

"Sir, then tell me about it?"

Hu Yanhai opened his eyes and said:

"Our daughter-in-law here is chosen by our son himself."

"Going to the Kingdom of Jin to catch a wild goose is considered sincere, but in the end, Jiong'er even caught a few falcons and suffered a lot."

Mrs. Pan said: "Your son is just stupid!"

Hu Yanhai smiled, looked at Mrs. Pan with love, and said: "Is he like me back then?"

Mrs. Pan didn't know what she was thinking of, and rolled her eyes at her husband, saying: "Let's talk about Jiong'er!"

Hu Yanhai nodded and said: "The family encountered a big event, and Jiong'er suffered a lot for both the family and himself."

Mrs. Pan took a deep breath, looked at the high curtain, and said nothing.

Hu Yanhai continued: "He suffered to achieve his goal, and this suffering was known, understood, and appreciated by others. Why can't Jiong'er cry!"

Mrs. Pan nodded, and she also understood a little,

because after she gave birth to the child, her husband did not go to see the child, but came to her side, and said, "Madam, you have worked hard", her heart would also be sour and bitter.

Thinking of this, Madam Pan felt relieved as she looked at Hu Yanhai who closed his eyes again and said, "Such a good daughter-in-law, should I give her more tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

The next day,

An Mei and Hu Yanjiong, the young couple, were going to offer tea.
