When the Second Lady came out of Zhen Jie'er's yard, she saw lights and decorations everywhere.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she slowed down her pace, and slowly walked out of the garden.

In the alleyway of the flower wall, a few young maids were playing shuttlecock.

The little maids wore red hairbands and green jackets, and they were laughing and looking very happy.

The second lady could not help but stop and stare, with a smile on her face that became even more intense.

A tall maidservant came hurriedly with a little maidservant.

When he saw the Second Madam and Jiexiang, he quickly knelt and saluted.

The Second Madam thought she looked familiar, and seeing that she had a red gold double peach hairpin in her hair, she knew that she was a respectable maid in the mansion. She nodded slightly and asked her, "Which room are you from?"

The maid said respectfully, "Madam, I am Xiangzhu from the Second Young Master's room."

Xu Siyu is going to send Zhen Jie'er off to marry tomorrow. Why isn't she in the house helping to pack the boxes?

The second wife was a little surprised, her expression relaxed, and she asked softly: "What are you going to do?"

Xiang Zhu lowered her brows and hands, "In reply to the Second Madam, the Second Young Master asked me to ask Sister Zhu Xiang, who is by the Fourth Madam's side, for a bottle of safflower oil to keep with me. I heard that Sister Zhu Xiang took the Fourth Madam to the eldest lady's place, so I came here specially to look for Sister Zhu Xiang."

The Second Madam was stunned when she heard this and asked, "What does the Second Young Master want safflower oil for?"

Xiang Zhu whispered, "The Second Young Master said that there are many people going with him this time. We need to take some of these Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, Xuejin Cream, and Safflower Oil. We have run out of them in our room, so we want to ask the Fourth Madam for some."

The Second Madam frowned slightly. "Why did you only think of this when we were about to set off? Where's Wenzhu? What has she been busy with these days?"

Xiangzhu heard her tone of dismay and said hurriedly, "Sister Wenzhu has been helping the Second Young Master copy the list of maids and servants who will be sent to Cangzhou to marry. I just found it when I was checking the boxes!"

Her answer once again surprised the Second Madam: "Copy the list of maids and servants who will go to Cangzhou to send the bride? Just let the servants in the back office do these things. Why is she not taking care of the Second Young Master's boxes and boxes, but taking care of these things?"

Xiang Zhu said, "It was the Second Young Master's order. The Second Young Master also told Sister Wen Zhu not to tell anyone. It should be written down clearly what the maids and old women do, which maid leads which old woman, and which old woman leads which maid to do things. The Shao family is a century-old family. They have people who are getting married, and we have people who are sending off the bride. If there is something, he, the person in charge, knows nothing and only knows to look for the managers. Isn't it ridiculous!"

The Second Madam nodded slightly after listening and instructed Jiexiang: "Take Xiangzhu to the eldest lady's place, right? The Fourth Madam may have something to say to the eldest lady right now, so try not to disturb the Fourth Madam if possible!"

Jiexiang bent her knees and left in response.

The second wife went to the old lady's place with a little maid, looking thoughtful.

Jing'er had already woken up and was sitting in the madam's arms eating pastry. Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie were also there. One was eating pastry like Jing'er, while the other was excitedly talking about his experience of riding a horse with Xu Lingyi: "... I held the reins tightly as my master taught me, and leaned against the horse's back. The horse jumped over with a 'whoosh' sound..."

The somewhat nervous lady took a long breath and said, "Don't do this again. You must listen to the master. He ran first and then you ran - you scared grandma."

Xu Sizhun smiled and leaned over, pulling the lady's sleeve: "I didn't do anything rash. There are seven or eight guards from the Imperial Guards standing by!"

As he was speaking, Jing'er had already loudly called the Second Madam "Second Aunt" - he was sitting facing the door and saw the Second Madam walk in at a glance.

The Second Lady smiled and nodded to Jing'er. The Grand Lady then told Zhihong: "Everyone is here, tell the kitchen to serve the meal!"

Zhihong smiled and retreated.

Hearing the noise, Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie both stepped forward with smiles and saluted the second wife.

The Second Madam looked at Xu Sizhun's innocent face, and for some reason she was reminded of Xu Siyu's calm face...

She smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Manager Zhao will go with you to send Zhen Jie'er out of Yanjing City and come back, right?"

Xu Sizhun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Second Aunt. I have Manager Zhao and the guards by my side. They will protect me!"

Such an answer was no different from any other answer. The Second Lady had heard of it before, but when she thought about the fact that Xu Siyu was only a few years older than Xu Sizhun and had already taken on the responsibility of being an older brother, while Xu Sizhun was still acting like a child and acting like a spoiled child in front of the Lady Dowager!

Thinking of this, the second lady looked at Xu Sizhun with a serious expression.

* * * * * *

The auspicious time for Zhen Jie'er to go out is set at noon.

At the beginning of the morning, Zhu Xiang called the two of them to get up.

When Zhen Jie'er thought of the things that Eleventh Lady had told her haltingly last night, her face turned red as if it was burning. She also remembered what Eleventh Lady had told her about how to "obey" her parents-in-law, "be considerate" to her husband, and "get along well" with her sisters-in-law after she got married. She couldn't help but straighten her face and lower her head to think carefully.

Eleventh Lady felt her body lighten.

Finally passed this level.

She said it very clearly, but Zhen Jie'er just lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't say a word when she asked her. She didn't know whether Zhen Jie'er understood it or not. However, Shao Zhongran should have received education in this area. With Zhen Jie'er's gentle personality, the two of them should not make any jokes!

Nan Yong's wife had been waiting by the side. Seeing that they had woken up, she brought a comb and came over to comb Zhen Jie'er's hair, put on her hair, clean her face and dress her. She was busy until the beginning of the morning. The Shao family's bridal sedan also arrived. After three rounds of wine, it was almost time for the auspicious time. Huang San's wife hurriedly invited the well-dressed Shiyi Niang and Wen Yi Niang to the main hall, and the matchmaker helped Zhen Jie'er out, who was wearing a bright red veil and a bright red wedding dress.

Xu Lingyi and Shiyi Niang sat on the armchairs respectively, and Madam Wen stood behind Shiyi Niang.

The newlyweds come to say goodbye to their parents.

Shao Zhongran, who was cheerful and cheerful, wore a red suit. He did not look out of place like other grooms, but rather looked more dashing. All the women in the room praised him. Xu Lingyi's heavy expression also relaxed a lot.

After Xu Lingyi said, "When you go to a girl's house, be obedient and respectful," Shiyi Niang said, "Be respectful and cautious, and don't disobey your uncle and aunt's orders," and Madam Wen said, "Listen to your parents' instructions and don't bring shame to them," the sound of stringed instruments began, and Third Lady Huang helped Zhen Jieer out of the door...

Madam Wen burst into tears!

* * * * * *

After seeing off Zhen Jie'er, it was Jing'er's birthday.

In the early morning, Shiyi Niang made mixed noodles for the people in the mansion to eat, which was considered to celebrate Jin Ge'er's third birthday. Ten days later, the people who escorted the bride came back. Xu Siyu told the Taifu and others about the situation along the way and the grand ceremony of Zhen Jie'er's wedding. Knowing that they had a safe journey and Zhen Jie'er's wedding was also very smooth, the Taifu sighed slightly: "I don't know when I can see you again!" Before she finished speaking, there was already a little water in the corners of her eyes.

Thinking of the sadness of the old lady on the day when Zhen Jie'er got married, Shiyi Niang hurriedly advised the old lady: "Cangzhou is only three or four days away. If you miss Zhen Jie'er, just write to her and ask her to come back and play for a few days!"

After listening to this, the lady thought seriously for a moment and instructed Eleventh Lady: "She married far away and will return home in a month. I think we should let Yu Ge'er go to pick her up in person when the time comes!" She said it very seriously.

Xu Siyu smiled and said, "I'm going back to Le'an soon. I think, let my elder brother take the trouble to bring my elder sister back home. Mr. Jiang asked me to take the college entrance examination next year. He also said that I have delayed a lot of homework, so he asked me to spend the New Year in Le'an!"

"How can this be possible!" The lady objected immediately, "It's not reasonable to spend the New Year outside."

Xu Siyu is not like Xu Sizhun. Xu Siyu has no time - if he cannot pass the college entrance examination smoothly, he will not have any fame. Without fame, whether it is his future or his wife, it will become a big problem. This is what should be solved first. There is no point in worrying about these things.

The Second Madam did not express any opinion, but just stood aside with a smile. The Fifth Madam could only persuade the Grand Madam with a smile, "Yu'er has a bright future. This is also for the glory of the Xu family!"

The lady didn't insist, but she still felt uncomfortable. She left Eleventh Lady to talk: "Talk to the Fourth Master and persuade him not to let Yu Ge'er spend the New Year outside!"

Eleventh Lady also advised the old man: "Yu'er is not young anymore, even his younger brother Jian'er has married, his marriage can't be delayed like this!" She also said, "The Marquis is planning Yu'er's future. If he can achieve fame and success earlier, he can also start a family and career earlier, and you can hold your great-grandson sooner!"

The lady sighed and agreed to Xu Siyu's return to Anle. But thinking that it was already the beginning of winter, she felt sorry for Xu Siyu's long journey and the fact that they couldn't reunite during the New Year. She privately called Xu Siyu over and gave him a silver note of 100 taels of silver and asked him to keep it: "...if you want something to eat, something to wear, or a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, you can use it first!"

Xu Siyu thanked the Madam for the reward. As soon as he went out, he met Jiexiang: "The Second Madam asked the Second Young Master to come over. She said she has something to give you!"

Xu Siyu hurried to the second lady.

The second lady gave Xu Siyu several sets of palace examination papers from the previous dynasty: "Although it's a little early, you can take a look at the writing of these papers. Looking down from top to bottom, there are always unexpected gains."

For Xu Siyu, this is more important than money.

He took it carefully.

When I returned, I received the winter clothes sent by Eleventh Lady.

"The fourth lady said that only those who have endured hardships can become the best. Let you study in Le'an with peace of mind and strive to pass the college entrance examination next year."

Xu Siyu went to thank Shiyi Niang and chose the auspicious day of October 24th to set off for Anle.

In November, the lady sent Xu Siqin to bring Zhen Jie'er back home.

Zhen Jie'er's original elegance now became more charming.

The lady-in-waiting looked at her and calmed down, and asked her in detail about her marriage.

Knowing that Mrs. Shao treated Zhen Jie'er very well, she asked her to help manage the household affairs after she got married. The wives of the Shao family also valued her very much and would greet her whenever there were any weddings or funerals in the family. Hui Jie'er and her husband also brought their daughter to see her, and the lady nodded slightly.

The Ouyang family and the Shao family exchanged engagement letters at the end of October. Although the lady was not worried about the Shao family's attitude, she was worried that Mrs. Shao would use the Ouyang family's daughter to suppress Zhen Jie'er, so that the two sides could be checked and balanced.

"Then you should be filial to your mother-in-law."

Zhen Jieer nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will never embarrass the Xu family!"

There was a hint of satisfaction in the lady's smile, but Zhen Jie'er's gaze fell on Shiyi Niang's face, which made Shiyi Niang's heart skip a beat!
