"Peach wood branches, have the peach wood branches been wrapped?"

"Don't move around, that's the red line that opens the face, not the red rope that ties things!"

"It's a big wind outside. I'll still be like this tomorrow. Remember to help the girl press the veil - add a half string of Ruyi money on the Xiapei!"

"Build a ladder, quickly build a ladder, and re-reinforce all the lantern hydrangeas. If you blow half of them off at night, take care of your skin!"

On the eve of the wedding, it was not an exaggeration to say that the back of the Xue family was in a state of rebellion, but Xue Baochai was in the midst of the noise, but there was an inexplicable barrier, as if there was another self outside her body,

The outsider's perspective looks down on it all.

The more lively and noisy what you see and hear, the more you feel a sense of loneliness that is difficult to integrate into.

The feeling was not cold, but it took away the temperature of the internal organs, making her unable to help but want to shrink into a ball.

Is this the feeling of getting married?

No!

At least this wasn't the case last time.

Xue Baochai took a deep breath and tried not to think about what happened in the past six months and what she had experienced. After all, no matter how much she thought about it, it would be useless. She only has this path to go, and she must also take it.

This road is clear!

Just as she was thinking about this, there was a sudden silence outside, followed by the voices of several women respectfully called "Madam". Xue Baochai knew that it was her mother who was here, so she hurriedly calmed down and stood up to greet her.

As soon as I arrived outside, I saw Aunt Xue leading the way, followed by a luxuriously dressed middle-aged woman, but she was Jiao Shun's mother, Xu.

Seeing Aunt Xue leaning slightly in front of her, her smile was a little bit pleasing to her, Xue Baochai couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the world was impermanent. When Xu was the eldest maid for her mother, the two of them were afraid that they were dreaming.

I didn't expect that there would be today.

At the same time, she felt sad for her mother. As the former mistress, she now has to be low and small in front of the old servants. If she had a high spirit, she wouldn't be able to accept it at all!

But who can blame this?

In the past, he could blame his brother for being unsuccessful, but now Jiao Shunyan has become a minister of Qiandi Conglong, who is ranked fourth in the dynasty at his early twenties. It seems a bit difficult to blame Xue Pan for being unsuccessful.

Throughout history, even those who are lucky enough to advance, are afraid that few can achieve this level.

What's more, Jiao Shun is different from the ordinary "happy minister". He has made political achievements steadily. Whether it is the Ministry of Work to implement the policy of assisting students with part-time work or the establishment of engineering studies from scratch, the achievements have been made.

It is obvious to all, even those imperial examination ministers who hate and hostile to him cannot deny it.

Now he is based on the new engineering policy and relies on the dragon. He is neither a martial artist nor a civil servant, nor a criminal official. He is also an enemy but not a friend of the court officials. There is basically no possibility of controlling the court principles and usurping power and disrupting the government.

, This means that the new monarch will be in power in the future and the possibility of his liquidation will be the lowest.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel distressed. The main reason why she denied Jiao Shun was that she was worried that his foundation was unstable and she was too risky. She didn't expect to survive the initial criticism of thousands of people. Instead, he was almost undefeated.

Land.

If I had known this...

"Baochai."

At this time, Aunt Xue had already led Xu to the front and smiled and said, "Your aunt came here to see you."

Although Xu was two or three years older than Aunt Xue, she used to only ask her children to call Xu "Aunt Xu". Later, she moved to Zijin Street to live next to her, but gradually changed her name.

Xue Baochai just thought it was because the Jiao family's power was rising, so she didn't think much about it. After listening to her mother's greeting, she hurriedly said with a happy blessing: "I have really turned against Aunt Xu these days. If you don't have your help, I don't know if you want it.

How many troubles have happened?"

"Haha, the whole family doesn't speak two people."

Xu waved his hand and praised, "I don't know what kind of virtue your ancestors of the Xue family have accumulated. Needless to say, you are a sister, it's a praise for everyone. I don't think that this girl Baoqin started her business in an orderly manner.

I said it was helping, but in fact I just followed it to watch the fun."

"She is still young, but she can't stand your praise."

Xue Baochai said, and then welcomed the two into the inner room.

The yard was busy again, but the tone of voice dropped a few degrees unconsciously, and most of the things I whispered to each other were transferred from this marriage to the Jiao family's recent situation.

As the end of the month approaches, Jiao Shun's young secretary is approaching Mingxuan, and he is only waiting for the official appointment at the dynasty meeting on the first day of next month - as for the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, there will be more than ten days and a half months to prepare.

If it is irrelevant, half of the people present had lived in Rongguo Mansion and witnessed Jiao Shun's rise to nothing.

There are also some people who are the old men brought by Aunt Xue from the Wang family. When they remembered the scene when Xu was married, and then looked at the current style, who would be filled with emotion?

Not to mention the various comments outside.

But after entering the inner room, Xu and Baochai exchanged a few more words, then took off a jade bracelet from their wrist and smiled: "This bracelet is my birthday gift this summer, and Brother Shun'er's birthday to me.

, I don't know what to say, but I don't think he dares to mess with me - now I'll make a box item for you, don't think I've worn it."

Most of the bracelets are green, but there is a light white impurity inside them. This is a huge flaw, but the beauty is that the light white impurity lingers in the bracelet, and it is a vaguely four claws on the head and tail.

The complete cloud dragon looks.

At first glance, I don’t realize it. The more you look carefully, the more you can understand the charm.

"How did this happen?"

Baochai hurriedly refused: "Since it was a birthday gift from Brother Jiao, how can I be good..."

"If you want to keep it, just keep it."

Xu forced her into her hands without any doubt and said with a smile: "He is an official in the Ministry of Works. Can he lack these things? I'll give it to you, and I'll just want something new next year."

Baochai also wanted to refuse, but she was angry when she acted.

Baochai had to accept it with great gratitude.

Xu said again: "Your Brother Jiao has also prepared a novel gift, saying that you will have to wait until you get married before you can give it to you-bye, he also specifically told you not to dirty and wrinkle the phoenix crown and robe.

It will be used then."

Xue Baochai held the bracelet in her hand, feeling mixed feelings, but she didn't even bother to curious about what the novel gift was.

…………

"This thing is called a camera."

In the specially arranged dark room, Jiao Shun fiddled with a machine with a delicate appearance but actually heavy appearance. He explained to Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Yun who came up with curiosity: "If you arrange it in advance, you can use people or objects.

The appearance was printed onto the cardboard piece.”

As he said that, he showed two photos to everyone.

This camera is also one of the results of recent exchanges between the East and the West. Europa has made a prototype, and the Ministry of Works has improved and improved it based on this guidance from Jiao Shun.

However, it was developed hastily and can only take photos in a special darkroom.

Jia Huan was holding a kerosene lamp and took the lead in grabbing the photo in his hand. The rest had to stick their heads and tiptoe around him to watch. Seeing that the things in the photo were indeed different from the paintings, they could better reflect the reality.

All the small people couldn't help but be amazed at the situation.

Jia Rong smiled from the side and said, "Uncle is really a talented person. When you have the chance, you must help your nephew print a few pictures."

As he said that, he thought to himself, if he could print Uncle Jiao and Xu's affairs on it as a certificate, wouldn't he be able to rest assured in the future?

Thinking of this, he began to learn photography skills from Jiao Shun seriously - it is hard to pretend to be someone else if you want to take such pictures.

In the dark room, there was a happy and happy place. From the old lady, everyone was also surrounding Shi Xiangyun, who had not seen for many days.

Shi Xiangyun answered countless questions in a few words, and finally said helplessly: "You don't know much. Today is the day for Brother Bao to be happy. What are you always doing around me?"

As she said that, she looked around and said curiously: "Where is Brother Bao? He is still here just now, why are he missing now?"

"I have returned to Yihongyuan."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "He has not slept well in the past two days. I am afraid that he will be in a bad mood tomorrow morning, so I asked Xiren to take him back and rest early."

"So early?"

Shi Xiangyun said with regret: "I also want to call my brothers and sisters to ask our grandfather to help take a photo - you didn't see it, the person who painted the camera was exactly the same as he was. I will improve it later.

, the fourth sister is afraid she will never have any use of her skills anymore.”

“That’s better.”

Xichun smiled calmly: "Save me to socialize, and I will miss the purity."

Everyone knew that she had been crazy recently and was both male and female with Baoyu, so they didn't bother with her.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jia Mu suddenly lowered her face and cursed: "The little hoof with a broken tongue! Baoyu has been confused for a while, and you are urging him. From now on, you will dare to talk nonsense to him again. Look

I won't discount your legs!"

With just this angry scolding, the wedding room suddenly became silent.

Xichun's face turned pale and red, red and white, and then tears couldn't stop falling.

Mrs. Wang and Xing looked at each other, and one of them laughed and teased the old lady to divert her attention, while the other pulled Xichun to the outside world to comfort her.

Shi Xiangyun was also shocked just now, and looked at this and that with her raised belly. Finally, she came to Tanchun and asked quietly: "Old lady is this..."

"Since I fainted that time, I've been smearing."

Tanchun sighed helplessly: "I can't control my temper, and I can't control my mouth. It's better when I'm good than before. When I turn my face, I'm like an old child."

After a pause, he said with resentment: "That's why the wife is anxious to get her second brother married."

Shi Xiangyun was silent. Although she had heard that the old lady was very ill, she saw that she was full of energy and thought she had recovered.

If the old lady really...
