Chapter 430: Worship
"Have you found out the whereabouts of Chen Tiantian?" Yingbao asked.
Jiang Jie shook his head: "I didn't find it. I asked people to search secretly and couldn't find the hiding place of Chen Tiantian and her daughter. Maybe they left the city as Xiao Chengjun said."
Walk? Where can she go?
Ying Bao didn't think that Chen Tiantian could leave Xiao Chengjun and live alone.
What's more, she also brought her mother, Han Yueniang.
And Han Yueniang's youngest son is still staying in the Xiao family.
Wei Zhan walked over and said, "Yingbao, let's send someone to monitor Xiao Chengjun. Once he makes any move, we will follow him to check."
Yingbao nodded.
It can only be this way.
She didn't understand that Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun could stay together beautifully for the rest of their lives, and they truly believed that lovers would eventually get married.
As long as she is safe and sound, she might just let them go. After all, no one can just live in hatred.
But she and Xiao Chengjun wanted to provoke her over and over again.
If I catch her again this time, I promise not to let her live until dawn the next day.
"Tomorrow is the day when Xiao Chengjun and Xiao Mo get married. Sister, will you go to watch the ceremony?" Jiang Jie asked.
Yingbao asked: "The Xiao family invited us?"
Jiang Jie nodded: "Please."
This was a favor given by the imperial court to the Xiao family. Officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital, who had any dealings with the Xiao family, all sent invitations.
Because of Wei Zhan's relationship, the Jiang family also received messages from the Xiao family.
"Go." Yingbao said, "I'll go with you."
In fact, she didn't have to go, but her brother Jiang Jie was going to be there, so for his safety, she had to go along.
Wei Zhan said from the side: "Yingbao, I'm going too."
Ying Bao looked at him and said, "Well, the three of us will be together later."
Only then did Wei Zhan smile: "Then I'll have someone prepare the gifts."
"good."
Soon it was the twentieth day of the first lunar month.
There was noisy traffic and horses at the gate of Xiao's house, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him.
Standing at the gate to greet the guests were Xiao Mo and his younger brother Xiao Chengjun in a wheelchair.
Wei Zhan helped Ying Bao get out of the carriage, and they walked into Xiao's mansion side by side.
The singing officer loudly announced: "The Lord of Qinchuan County has arrived!"
Xiao Chengjun and Xiao Mo clasped their fists and saluted her.
Ying Bao glanced at Xiao Chengjun, then looked at Xiao Mo, and saw that his face was thin and haggard, with no sign of happiness or anger.
After entering Xiao's Mansion, someone led them to sit down in the flower hall.
Wei Zhan and Jiang Jie were a little worried about Ying Bao, but Ying Bao was even more worried about them. They secretly gave each of them a bottle of antidote and whispered: "Don't drink too much, and don't go out alone with the Xiao family's servants."
The two nodded and watched Ying Bao and his party go to the inner courtyard.
This time, Ying Bao brought four maids and two chamberlains. The group of seven people entered an unmanned flower hall and filled up the small flower hall in an instant.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao Wang also came. After thanking Yingbao, he sat down and talked to her for a while, then got up and went elsewhere.
There were many female relatives here this time, and Prince Xiao was so busy welcoming and sending them off, but there was no one to help.
Fortunately, no one minded this. The women from each family found acquaintances to sit together and talk to each other about some innocuous things.
After a while, Wu Jiang came with a lady and greeted Ying Bao: "The county master is here. I am looking for you everywhere."
Yingbao: "Aunt Wu, sit down quickly. What do you want from me?"
Wu Jiang brought his wife over, sat down next to Ying Bao, and introduced: "This is the wife of Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue."
Ying Bao bowed and said hello: "Hello, Mrs. Qin."
Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "I just saw the true appearance of the county master today, and he is indeed beautiful."
"Excuse me. Madam, you are also very beautiful and have an extraordinary appearance." Ying Bao praised.
This Mrs. Qin is only in her forties. She is indeed very good-looking, but a little thin.
Although thinness is considered to be beautiful nowadays, Mrs. Lin is already so old and a little richer would be more perfect.
Mrs. Qin touched her cheek and smiled: "Oh, I'm so old, how can I still look good?"
"County Lord, I actually have to thank you more for your life-saving grace."
Ying Bao blinked: "Why did Mrs. Qin say that?"
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "My husband's name is Qin Zhaolin. The county master cured his back a few years ago. Have you forgotten?"
"Oh." Ying Bao indeed forgot.
Mrs. Qin: "My husband is also an old fool. He told me recently that it turned out that the person who treated him was actually the county owner. Alas, it's really rude. I never went to visit him at my house."
"Ma'am, don't worry about it. I've forgotten about this a long time ago." Only then did Ying Bao remember that Qin Zhaolin should be a friend of the master, and she did treat him a few years ago.
Mrs. Qin said something apologetic again, and finally said: "Today, I shamelessly want to ask you for something. My grandpa has been in poor health recently, and I want to buy a bottle of health pills from you."
Ying Bao was surprised: "How does Mrs. Qin know that I have health pills?"
"Grandpa, I heard what Mr. Wu Da said." Mrs. Qin was stunned.
Wu Jiang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "My father sometimes brings pills to court. When others see him and are curious, he tells the truth."
Yingbao: "."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare some. Then I'll give it to Grandpa Wu to bring to Qin Xianggong." At present, she can only prepare some health balls for outsiders.
As for those with better results, apart from giving them to his own family, the others were handed over to Master Zhou Wuchang, who would then reward them to his ministers.
Fortunately, the emperor's master didn't take it in vain. Every time he sent someone to send a lot of gold and silver jewelry, she was now rich. There were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, etc. in the cave, as well as piles of silk and silk.
Mrs. Qin was very happy to see Ying Bao agree and held her hand for a while to thank her.
After a while, a servant came over and invited them to sit down, so the three of them walked to the main hall.
The main hall is very large, with an incense table placed in the middle, waiting for the newlyweds to come and worship.
Ladies of high rank sit in the right wing.
The wing on the left is where the male guests sit.
The rest of the people were eating in the tent in the yard, with the male guests on one side and the female guests on the other.
There is a long red carpet in the middle of the main hall, leading directly to the front of the incense table. There is also a brazier at the door of the hall. When the bride's sedan chair reaches the door, the master of ceremonies will light the brazier and let the bride step on it.
While they were eating, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and the bride's sedan chair arrived.
Ying Bao didn't need to get up to see a new couple entering the main hall.
This is Xiao Mo. He is sitting in a wheelchair, and a maid is pushing the wheelchair.
I saw him holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and the other end of the red silk was held by the bride.
The two stood and sat together, reluctantly finishing the ceremony, and finally Xiao Mo led the bride to the new house.
Just after the ceremony, Xiao Chengjun's bridal sedan also arrived.
The ritual musicians continued to play, and the Marquis of Changshou and his wife continued to sit on the high chairs, waiting for the newlyweds to pay homage.
Ying Bao was very curious about Xiao Chengjun's expression at this time, so she watched intently.
Suddenly, Xiao Chengjun turned his head and looked to the right. He passed several people and suddenly met Ying Bao's eyes.
With a dark face, he stared at Ying Bao for two breaths, then looked away, and bowed to the bride in a proper manner. (End of chapter)
