Chapter 591 Happy Event
She is upset okay.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. The emperor sent people to search the entire palace, gathered together everyone who had come into contact with the bracelet, and invited the imperial doctor. Nothing unusual was found."
Then he advised her, "Some things will happen when they should happen. It's useless to worry. It wastes my daughter-in-law's energy and makes her husband feel bad."
"As long as the emperor doesn't allow others to control him."
"Brother has checked the emperor's pulse and found no trace of the poison in his body. We will find out where the poison fell into one day."
Knowing that Chu Jingqi was right, Xia Zihan was still a little uneasy.
Chu Jingqi took the towel from her hand, wiped herself quickly, and then carried her daughter-in-law out of the bath.
"Daughter-in-law, I haven't slept for two days and two nights. Please sleep with me for a while." Seeing the dark circles under Xia Zihan's eyes, Chu Jingqi felt distressed, so he pressed her forcefully on the hot kang and slept with him. .
Xia Zihan also wanted to see the scene where Xia Ziying was hanged, but Chu Jingqi didn't want her to see the bloody scene. He pressed her and said, "I will leave for the Japanese country the day after tomorrow. I don't know when. Come back.”
When Xia Zihan heard this, she softened her heart and hugged him, reluctant to let go, "Shall I go with you?"
"This is a secret order, and I can only bring a few confidants with me." Chu Jingqi touched her smooth back and the peaks as smooth as tofu cubes, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Then you have to be careful."
When the two woke up again, it was already dark, and Xia Zihan received the news that Xia Ziying was dead.
Because the Cao family was implicated, they didn't even want to take her body back at first. Later, the emperor issued an order and ordered Cao Huajun to take her body away. In any case, Xia Ziying was Cao Huajun's nominal wife.
As for taking the body back, whether to throw it away, bury it, or burn it all depends on the Cao family.
The Cao family fell into a disastrous state because of Xia Ziying, and it was difficult to move forward. Dozens of people in the Cao family hated Xia Ziying so much. How could they be kind enough to bury her? After Cao Huajun took her body back from the Ministry of Punishment, he buried her. She left it in an abandoned yard without even buying a coffin.
Mrs. Cao was so angry that she went to whip the corpse and whipped her corpse hard, which made her even more angry.
When the Cao family was forced to leave the capital in embarrassment, the Cao family casually threw her body in a mass grave, allowing wild dogs to tear it apart and gnaw at her.
"All those people from the Japanese country were escorted to Caishikou, and their heads will be beheaded in an hour. Master, do you want to go and see them?" Chu Fei asked, but his fingers flexibly held a hand for Xia Zihan. Flowing cloud bun.
"I won't go." She didn't even go to see Xia Ziying's death, and she was even less lazy to go see the others' deaths.
She had better watch less of that bloody scene.
"Wear this one, that one is too gorgeous."
Seeing that Chu Fei wanted to give her a peacock hairpin with rubies embedded in it, Xia Zihan reached out and picked out a magnolia flower hairpin and handed it to her.
Chu Fei was stunned.
The flowing cloud bun needs to be worn with gorgeous jewelry to look good. The magnolia flower hairpin is so plain...
When Chu Fei took the magnolia hairpin, he thought of Xia Ziying who had just died. The master didn't want to wear gorgeous jewelry, was it because of Xia Ziying?
She quickly loosened her hair and said, "The slave will give the master an ordinary bun."
Xia Zihan hummed and had no objection.
Chu Fei knew that he had guessed his master's thoughts correctly.
No matter how bad, cruel or vicious Xia Ziying is, she is still her biological sister. Just after her biological sister died, she was dressed too gorgeously and could not be justified in front of outsiders.
After combing her hair, Chu Fei chose a lighter blue jacket for her, and wore a moonlight white cotton skirt underneath.
After getting dressed up, Xia Zihan went to have breakfast in the small hall next door, and then asked Nuanyu and Vanilla about them.
"Everything for the wedding is ready, the list for the wedding banquet is also listed, and everything is almost ready." Chu Fei said, "It's just... I heard Ma Baosheng say that they seem to be leaving Beijing again tomorrow, and they are leaving. The time is not short.”
It means that if the wedding is not held in these two days, then Chu Jingqi will have to wait for Chu Jingqi to come back from Japan... Then I don't know what year, month and day it will have to wait.
Xia Zihan said, "Then we will get married this afternoon."
There is still an hour until noon, and there is still time to prepare everything.
Young men and girls from wealthy families usually get married in the morning, go out to the street at noon, worship in the afternoon, and have wine at the church after the ceremony. Generally speaking, slaves don't have so many rules, especially those who live in the mansion after getting married. In other words, they use eight-carriage sedans to carry the bride from the backyard to the front yard. If there is time, they can also You can go for a walk on the street. If you don't have time, you can save this joint.
As for the wedding banquet, just set up a few tables in the evening and let the whole family eat and drink together to create a lively atmosphere.
Shengdi Ma Bao and Vanilla Nuanyu no longer have family members. Their families are all in the Chu family and the Chu family. They sent letters to the Chu family and asked several sisters from the Chu family who played well with Vanilla and Nuanyu to come and have fun.
There are many people in the family, so there is still time.
Xia Zihan went to Zhuo's yard and told Zhuo about this.
Mrs. Zhuo is a person who likes fun. She was of course happy when she heard that she was going to marry several people in Shengdi in advance. She took Xia Zihan's hand and said cheerfully, "Okay, then go and tell Madam Lu to spend the evening." Bought the ingredients for the wedding banquet.”
"The wedding banquet will be held in the flower room. There are not enough manpower. I still have some handymen in the yard. You can use them as you wish."
This is the plan to take advantage of the wedding of Nuanyu and the others and hand over all the middle-aged people in the palace to Xia Zihan to host it.
"Oh, by the way, firecrackers and drums, these must be prepared, and Xi Niang, please invite the lady in charge. Her parents are here, and she has a son and a daughter. She is a loving husband and wife. She is a very lucky person."
"Also, two big maids suddenly left your yard. If you don't have enough manpower, just transfer them from the front yard... No, you have someone on hand, that's enough. Call them into the house to help, people. If there are more, this happy event will be more lively.”
While Zhuo was talking, she remembered that Xia Zihan still had a group of people outside, and that group of people was more numerous than all the maids and women in Anjun Prince's palace.
Let Xia Zihan call all those people to help.
Although they say they are helping, they actually want to make Shengdi Ma Bao's wedding more lively. After all, these two people have served Chu Jingqi for many years and are loyal to Chu Jingqi. Nuan Yu and Xiang Xiang are also Xia Zihan's personal maids. Marriage cannot be too simple.
The more lively the better.
With this in mind, Mrs. Zhuo urged Xia Zihan to prepare quickly.
The items needed for the wedding have been prepared long ago. Now, it is just a matter of taking out the red silk, happy characters, couplets, red lanterns and other items that need to be used for the wedding banquet, hanging what should be hung, and affixing what should be affixed.
Madam Zhang got the letter and hurried over. Then she took the thirty-six little maids selected by Xia Zihan and carried a bunch of items, including wedding quilts, wedding pillows, wedding tents, wedding candles, etc., to Ma Baosheng's place. in the new house.
These items should have been arranged by Xiniang in the new house on the first day of the wedding, but now that the wedding is in a hurry, those rules can be omitted, but the wedding quilt and other things still need to be laid in the new house in advance. of.
Madam Zhang also said with envy, "They have met a good master like the princess. I think back then, when I married my child's father, the old lady just said a word and took her away on the spot, even a wedding gift." None.”
Not only Xipa, in order to save the dowry for them, the old lady did not let them hold a wedding ceremony at all. She directly let her go with Manager Zhang, went to his house, knelt down in front of her parents-in-law, and kowtowed three times. , this is considered a marriage.
It was just like marrying a concubine. The simplicity of the marriage made her feel ashamed to see anyone.
At that time, she was a second-class maid beside the old lady, and Manager Zhang was a servant beside Prince An. Prince An was still the eldest son of Duke An, and had not yet gotten married.
When the old lady saw that the prince had grown up, she wanted to lead him astray and place a beauty in the prince's yard. However, the prince didn't like to have maids wait on her, so the old lady couldn't place her there even if she had someone on hand.
Later, he wanted to use the maids around him to tie up the servants around the prince, and slowly penetrate into the prince's yard.
The old lady had a good abacus, but she was an extremely petty person, and she was shameless and shameless when doing things.
The second-class maids around me were not willing to part with even a penny in dowry when they got married. In order to save some money for their maid’s dowry, they directly asked someone to take them away.
That way, it's not a betrothal, it's just... It's worse than marrying a concubine. To marry a concubine, you have to dress up and prepare yourself first.
Fortunately, the only thing that made her happy was that the husband she married was a capable man, and he had climbed from the position of servant to the position of manager. Finally, the family no longer had to look at the old lady's face to live their lives.
As slaves, their biggest dream is to find a husband they like.
Hey, when I think of the past... and look at the present, look at the eldest maid next to the princess, the dowry, there are thirty-six in total, and the two maids have a total of seventy-two, each one is stuffed. It was full, oh my, it was richer than the girls from half the wealthy families, which made her greedy just looking at it.
There are also those quilts. There are twelve quilts alone, and they are purchased all year round. Oh my god, each quilt is made of fine silk and cotton muslin...
< br>
Will it cost a lot of money?
The princess is really willing to give up.
Madam Zhang lamented that she had not met a good master when she was young, but at the same time she was glad that the imperial concubine was a good person. She valued love and justice and treated her maids well. She would definitely do well if she worked with her in the future.
Then, he remembered that his daughter-in-law was also the maidservant of the princess, and he felt happy again. He wished he could marry his daughter-in-law home immediately.
