After the ceremony, Minister Huang Tong felt that he had been busy lately, to the point where the corners of his mouth were almost popping out.

When he received the day that the Venerate Heavens Sect sent him over, he immediately felt extremely angry.

June 8th?

Were they here to watch the show? He actually chose such a hasty day!

Huang Tong and Cui Yajie, who was holding onto the list that the imperial overseer had given them, looked for their boss, Cui Yajie. "How could the crown prince's wedding be arranged in less than half a month's time?"

Cui Yajie, the Minister of Rites, knew that Huang Tong was referring to Xiao Rui's wedding.

He looked outside and confirmed that there was no one outside the room. Then, he dragged Huang Tong and pointed at Xiao Rui's name that was on the gift slip, "You know who this person is, right? The Venerate Heavens Sect is completely afraid of getting into trouble. "

Hearing Cui Yajie's words, Huang Tong immediately understood.

This was the fourth time the Ministry of Rites had helped Prince Jin's son, Xiao Rui, supervise the wedding.

He had personally handled it twice!

In the middle of all the preparations, the bride suddenly fell ill and died.

He was simply unprepared.

"This time, the nobles of the palace also want them to get married as soon as possible." Cui Yajie blinked his eyes at Huang Tong and the two of them.

"But …" "But …" Huang Tong was about to explain, but Cui Jianzi cut him off. "What's so good about it?" "It's just a matter of spending more money."

Since the people in the upper echelons had expressed their stance, it was as if Huang Tong had suddenly gained a backbone.

First, he ordered people to prepare the Naji Li as soon as possible, and then he personally went to the Venerate Heavens Sect to get a lucky day.

The overseer heard that the prince's son, Xiao Rui, greeted Naji and chose May 28.

On the 28th of May, early in the morning, the lights of Sansui Lane were lit, and in succession came the ladies and ladies who came in carriages to congratulate them.

The manager's wife quickly ran to the inner courtyard to report that née Qin was wearing a red five-colored makeup dress. She was escorted by a servant girl and her wife to the inner courtyard.

The first one to arrive was Mrs. Qi, who helped her personal servant out of the car.

It was almost June, and the weather had already started to get hot. Madam Qi had intentionally worn a red silk dress embroidered with begonias, but she didn't think that her back would still be sweating from the heat.

This was the first time she came to Three String Alley, so she secretly looked around her. Fortunately, there were still a few lush camphor trees, locust trees, and dates growing on both sides of the three-string alleyway, blocking out the sunlight like an umbrella.

When the Qin family saw her, they welcomed her with a smile: "Second cousin."

Madam Qi resisted the discomfort and said with a smile, "I came here earlier today to see if there's anything I can help with."

Jiang Yan and Xiao Qian Shu, who had alighted from the carriage behind Madam Qi, tidied up their clothes before walking in front of Madam Qin together. One of them said, "Greetings Third Aunt, and the other, Greetings Madam Jiang."

née Qin smiled and nodded in agreement, then let Mother Du bring them into the inner courtyard.

As soon as Madam Qi entered, Madame Zhong's carriage came to a halt.

The President of the Ministry of Justice, Zhong Ruiyang, was Jiang Chuanzhong's direct superior. When Jiang Chuanzhong had just taken office, the Qin had even paid a visit to Madame Zhong.

It was just that at that time, Madam Zhong had only treated her neither warmly nor cold. Since Qin Guan had no interest in her, he had never gone there a second time.

"Aiyo, the sky is still so hot!" As soon as Madam Zhong got off the carriage, she smiled and said to née Qin as if they were close friends who had known each other for many years, "I wanted to come and take a look a long time ago, but I just couldn't find the time."

Thinking of her previous indifference, although née Qin was not happy, she could only smile and invite people into the courtyard.

Following that, Lady Lin of the Minister of Revenue and Madame Gao of the Supreme Court arrived one after another. The usually deserted courtyard immediately became lively.

After all, this was the first time they were entertaining guests at home, and the guests they received were all the famous madams and mistresses in the capital. Afraid that something would happen to them, the Qin family cautiously ordered people to clean out the east wing of the Jun Yating Hall and set up a awning in the courtyard.

Madam Qiao, Madam Zhong, Madam Lin, and the rest were sitting in the east wing room, eating fruits that had been frozen in ice. Although the Qin family had arranged for the little girl to fan them, it still made them feel suffocated.

"Why did the Venerate Heavens Sect choose such a day?" There was a lady complaining.

"Don't you know?" Some people started gossiping about how the Crown Prince Jin had taken his wife.

"Ah?" So the rumors were true? " Some people began to exclaim in admiration.

Some of them started to gloat, "I say, how can you be so lucky with your daughter!"

Madam Qi was listening by the side, and since she was also a member of the Jiang family, she didn't say much. However, she didn't want to offend these madams for that Qin woman she didn't like, so she found an excuse to find Miss Yan and leave the east wing.

However, Jiang Yan and Qian Shu weren't in the courtyard either. She guessed that the two of them must have gone to find Jiang Wan.

When it was about the end of the morning, there was a burst of firecrackers outside Hu Tong's mouth.

Someone shouted all the way over: "Coming, coming, Nudge's coming."

Jiang Chuanzhong, who was waiting for his guest at home in his official uniform, rushed out of his study and personally went to the door to greet him. From afar, he heard someone congratulating him. "Congratulations, Sir Jiang!"

Jiang Chuanzhong raised his head to look and saw Huang Tong, the Vice Minister of Rites, walking towards them with a group of men in tow, beating the gongs and beating the drums.

Therefore, Jiang Chuanzhong also hurried over to welcome him. He cupped his hands and said, "Lord Wen, thank you for your hard work."

The two of them were officials of the Six Paths, so they usually did not meet.

Huang Tong and Jiang Chuanzhong exchanged some pleasantries before the servants carried Najili through the gates of the Jiang manor.

Jiang Wan's wedding was bestowed by the royal family, and was handled by the ceremonial department. This Naji ceremony was actually equivalent to the royal family's reward, only, part of the reward was given to Jiang Chuanzhong and the Qin, and the other part was given to Jiang Wan. It was the equivalent of her dowry.

Jiang Chuanzhong led Brother Sheng to the outer courtyard. The Qin family led their family's female servants to the inner courtyard. They knelt down and kowtowed nine times in the direction of the imperial palace.

Then the Najiri were carried into the main room of Junya Hall to be displayed as a token of the emperor's generosity.

There were three golden hairpins of different sizes, three golden earrings with pearls embedded in them, two golden earrings with gold bracelets, two golden bracelets with gold and silver buttons, about one hundred gold collars holding eastern pearls, and dozens of mink, rex, fox skins, one hundred silks, three hundred kilograms of cotton, silver bowls and silver pots for the dining room, the teahouse, the tea house, and so on.

The group of ladies and gentlemen, who were used to seeing rich and powerful people, were all amazed.
