Chapter 267: Lantern Festival 1(2/3)
Let's talk about it,
We, Niao Niao, will marry the prince soon.
Then what kind of paintings are as much as you want, do you think it is Niao Niao?"
Cheng Shaoshang was quite embarrassed and too lazy to answer.
My mother Cheng didn't pay attention, but instead said to the Hu mother beside her:
"You said that Prince Jing is the prince, and his mother is the eldest princess.
Then the betrothal gift he gave must not be missing, right?"
Hu said quickly:
“That’s not,
How many companies can compare to this city?
The betrothal gift would probably fill the whole yard.
Besides, if my nephew gets engaged, shouldn’t the emperor also show that he has to show his engagement?"
When Cheng's mother heard this, she almost jumped up excitedly, and was so happy that she couldn't control herself. She waved her hand and said:
"Stop talking,
Hurry, my mother,
Follow me to my yard and hurry up and pack up your things,
I'm afraid there is no place to put this betrothal gift then!"
After the two of them went out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Song, Cheng Yang and others talked around Cheng Shaoshang, asking about the whole story.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Sang Shunhua, Xiao Yuanyi was not very happy, so she walked to the side and asked in a low voice:
"Woman Si, why do you look a little unhappy?"
"Hey, I'm still worried about Niao Niao. You said that with her personality, if you get into trouble when you get married in the royal palace, how can you have a good life?"
"Mr. Si, you are really worried.
Why did Niao Niao get into trouble before our family?
Isn’t it all my second sister-in-law who treats Niao Niao harshly?
Now that you come back, Niao Niao has caused any disaster? It’s just trivial matters, and it’s not a big deal.
I found that you are really a woman, you don’t have to worry about gains and losses so much.
Now it’s a foregone conclusion, let’s watch it. I think the couple may live a harmonious and happy life, but you are so self-indulgent!"
"Maybe...I do owe Niao a lot...ah..."
...
Just as everyone in the Cheng Mansion was chatting, Jing Haoying and Wen Miao also convinced the old princess again.
The old princess was very dissatisfied with the Cheng family's family at first. In her eyes, the princess was a little worse, let alone a new general's daughter.
But in the end she couldn't resist Jing Haoying, who was so dear to such a single grandson.
Seeing that his grandmother agreed, Jing Haoying quickly started to say some good things.
"Grandma,
Actually, I value the Cheng family’s wife, not because of anything else.
As the saying goes, women are mostly mothers,
Look at Mrs. Cheng, just a few years after marrying General Cheng, she gave birth to several of them like a sow.
If it weren't for the delay of the war, then there would be no more than ten people under the head now.
Think about it, Shao Shang must be like her mother. When you come to our family, you will definitely give birth to a lot of great-grandchildren!"
Wen Miao looked at Jing Haoying with a laugh and cry. Is there anyone who said that to me, and I even gave birth to a sow. It's really ugly.
The old princess' eyes lit up when she heard this. Her biggest regret in her life was that the Jing family was not strong. She was a man like Jing Haoying. After hearing what Jing Haoying said, she nodded and thought about the future. A bunch of young great-grandchildren were not angry, and said repeatedly:
"Ying'er's words are reasonable. I still remember that my neighbor was particularly capable of giving birth to him.
Later, the daughter of that family gave birth to seven children, all of whom were lively.
If this little lady of the Cheng family is really like this, I will have no regrets!"
"you do not say.
Our family is now a prince, so it doesn’t matter what kind of girl she married.
It's better that she can have children!" Jing Haoying said as he winked at his grandmother with hidden dangers and signaled her to look at her mother. Isn't this a ready-made example?
When the old princess heard this, she felt it made sense. Her family was deeply affected by it. She is still the only one who nodded repeatedly.
"Ying'er's words are reasonable, just do what you said, and let's marry Mrs. Cheng!"
How could Wen Miao not see the little movements of his grandparents and grandchildren? If it weren't for the mother-in-law's face, Wen Miao would have twisted Jing Haoying's ears. This little bastard dared to arrange her mother in order to get married.
...
In the next few days, the two families began to work hard.
Because both families are nobles, they must strictly implement the Three Books and Six Rites, otherwise they will be laughed at by others.
The "Three Books" are the documents used in the process of the "Six Lises", including appointment letters, ritual letters and welcome letters. They are somewhat similar to our current marriage certificate, but they are more detailed, so I won't mention this.
The "Six Lises" are a little more troublesome, including six etiquettes, Nacai, Ask Names, Naji, Nazheng, and please welcome them.
Because Cheng Shaoshang has not yet been in the forefront, it is not enough to welcome him.
Only the bidding ceremony was held, that is, the betrothal gift was given.
With Jing Haoying's family, the betrothal gifts are naturally very luxurious, with countless silks, satin, gold, silver and jewelry, which really fills the Cheng family's yard.
Cheng's mother was naturally laughing. It should be noted that the betrothal gift is usually accepted by the woman's parents. When the woman gets married, the parents will prepare another dowry.
With Cheng's greedy personality, he must have left many betrothal gifts, so he is so happy.
...
Now, the outside world also knows the news that Prince Jing’s Mansion and Cheng’s Mansion have become married.
Most of the Cheng family are envious and jealous.
It is generally unknown to Jing Haoying, so I don’t know why he fell in love with the Cheng family’s daughter. After all, Cheng Shaoshang’s reputation is indeed not very good.
So there are many gossips.
Ling Buyi's cheap wife Chunyu was the most upset. She was about to introduce Jing Haoying to Jing Buyi, but she didn't expect that she would get engaged so soon, and her engagement partner was still not very good.
Jing Haoying naturally did not pay too much attention to the outside world, and he didn't care.
I can go to Cheng Shaoshang to the rightful Cheng Mansion.
The day before the Spring Festival, the Cheng family had some small episodes. Cheng Yang's mother Fu and her maid Kaipu were in trouble. The two of them were jealous of Cheng Shaoshang's good marriage, and compared their daughter Cheng Yang, and then went for a chaotic rumor.
, say some bad things about Cheng Shaoshang, saying that Cheng Shaoshang seduces Prince Jing and so on.
Jing Haoying happened to pass by Cheng Shi and heard it. Cheng Shi's face turned dark at that time, and he ordered someone to beat him and sell him. If it weren't for the festival soon, it would be better to see blood. Maybe he could be beaten to death on the spot.
Two people.
Afterwards, Cheng Shi apologized, but Xiao Yuanyi's face was not good-looking. Unexpectedly, it was her own family who had problems first. Fortunately, she was afraid that Cheng Shaoshang would make mistakes when he went to the palace. Unexpectedly, it was her own family who was embarrassed first.
Because it was Cheng Yang's mother Fu and maid, he also called Cheng Yang and Cheng Shaoshang over.
Cheng Yang naturally cried and said he was ignorant of the pear blossoms. He apologized and pleaded for the two of them.
Jing Haoying naturally doesn't matter, just look at Cheng Shaoshang.
Cheng Shaoshang has a good relationship with Cheng Yang. He knows that her cousin is the weakest and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing, so he also helps to speak.
Judging from Cheng Shaoshang's attitude, Jing Haoying naturally gave face and showed great magnanimity, saying that everyone is a family and should be harmonious and not pursued.
A small storm blew over quietly. Afterwards, Cheng Shi repeatedly sighed that this son-in-law had nothing to say, he was good to his servant and gave his own face.
Even Xiao Yuanyi couldn't say anything. After all, this matter was big or small. If it was spread, the Cheng family would definitely be in trouble.
Finally arrived at the Lantern Festival,
The custom of lanterns during the Spring Festival began to prevail in the previous dynasty, and this custom was still retained until modern society. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many children still played with lanterns, but this custom seems to be prevalent with the Internet era in recent years.
There are fewer and fewer, especially in the city.
Back to the topic, the Lantern Festival is very lively. Although there are no electric lights and cannons in this era, there are lanterns and torches everywhere that night, and the fireworks are brilliant, which is like the daytime. In addition, the entire Lantern Market is at the gate of Beigong to Xingshengfang
The whole street is so crowded that it makes it even more lively.
Jing Haoying naturally went with Cheng Shaoshang,
Cheng Shaoshang wore a double-wrapped wide-sleeved long song made of red Shu brocade, and a white cloak. She had red lips and white teeth, and her skin was as snowy as she was dressed like this. She looked even more beautiful and charming.
