Chapter 430： worship hall

“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 doesn’t think that Chen Tiantian can 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 doesn't understand. It is clear that Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun can stay together beautifully for the rest of their lives, and they truly have the reputation of lovers getting married in the end.

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 is the favor given by the imperial court to the Xiao family. Officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital, as long as they have dealings with the Xiao family, have sent invitations.

The Jiang family also received posts from the Xiao family because of Wei Zhan's relationship.

“Go.” Yingbao said, “I’ll go with you.”

Actually, she didn’t have to go, but her younger brother Jiang Jie was going to be there. For his safety, she had to go along.

Wei Zhan said from the side: "Yingbao, I'm going too."

Ying Bao glanced at him and said, "Well, the three of us will be together later."

Wei Zhan then smiled and said, "Then I'll have someone prepare the gifts."

"good."

Soon it was the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

The carriages and horses were noisy 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 saluted her with fists clasped.

Ying Bao glanced at Xiao Chengjun briefly, then looked at Xiao Mo, and saw that his face was thin and haggard, with no sign of happiness or anger.

After entering the Xiao Mansion, someone led them to sit down in the flower hall.

Wei Zhan and Jiang Jie were a little worried about Yingbao, but Yingbao was even more worried about them. He 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 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 uninhabited flower hall and filled up the small flower hall in an instant.

At this time, Prince Xiao 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.

Not long after, Wu Jiang came with a lady and greeted Ying Bao: "The county master is here, I am looking for you everywhere."

Ying Bao: "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 Household Affairs."

Ying Bao bowed and said hello: "Hello, Mrs. Qin."

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "I just saw the county lord's true face today, and he is indeed very handsome."

“Excellent. Madam, you are also very handsome, and you are extraordinary.” Ying Bao praised.

This Mrs. Qin is only in her forties. She is really 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 am so old, how can I still look good?"

“County Lord, I actually have to thank you more for your life-saving grace.”

Yingbao 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 the person who treated him was actually the county boss. Alas, it was really rude. I never went to visit him at my house."

"Ma'am, don't worry about it. I've forgotten about it a long time ago." At this moment, Ying Bao remembered that Qin Zhaolin should be a friend of the master, and she had indeed treated 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."

Yingbao 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."

ˆ Yingbao: "."

“Okay, I’ll go back and prepare some, and then I’ll give it to Grandpa Wu to bring to Qin Xianggong.” At present, she can only prepare some health **** for outsiders.

As for those with better results, apart from giving them to his own family, the rest 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. He would send people a lot of gold and silver jewelry every time. Now she is rich. There are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jades, etc. stored 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 to worship.

Ladies of higher 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 men on one side and the women 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 we were eating, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and the bride's sedan chair arrived.

Yingbao 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 took 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.

Yingbao was curious about Xiao Chengjun's expression at this time, so she watched intently.

Suddenly, Xiao Chengjun turned his head, looked to the right, passed several people, and suddenly met Ying Bao's eyes.

His face was dark and sullen, he stared at Ying Bao for a few breaths, then looked away, and bowed to the bride in a proper manner. (End of chapter)
