Chapter 1652 Come Back
The Cheng family's maid was echoing the words of Miss Cheng Er and Mrs. Cheng Da, telling them what had happened before.
After hearing Zhou Man's question and Bai Dalang's answer, Miss Cheng blushed. Sister Cheng laughed and was about to tease her when she heard a commotion up ahead. A maid came running in and called out, "Miss, the son-in-law and his family have come in and are already waiting in the hall."
Bai Dalang was surrounded by people and came to the front hall. Mrs. Cheng was already sitting there. He went forward and bowed repeatedly. The servants of the Cheng family got permission from the wife before going to the bridal chamber next door to call Miss Cheng Er.
Manbao, Lijun and others ran to see Miss Cheng Er, escorted her to the front hall, and watched her and Bai Dalang bid farewell to Mrs. Cheng together.
Mrs. Cheng gave them a few instructions and handed her daughter to Bai Dalang with tears in her eyes.
Cheng Dalang then stepped forward, carried his sister on his back, and walked all the way to the sedan chair in the front yard, which was considered as the wedding.
Manbao and a group of people ran along to join in the fun. After all, they were not considered to be the bride's family, so they were still on Bai Dalang's side. Therefore, they had to go to the Bai family's wedding.
Wei Zhi rarely found time to come out and watch a wedding, but before he could even sit down, he and his group of guests were dragged to Changqing Lane.
It was only when I sat down at the table that I realized that they had drunk two drinks, all the wine for the wedding and the wedding ceremony.
Lord Wei couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Glancing at Tang He and Yang Heshu sitting nearby, he nodded slightly at them and asked, "Are you here on leave?"
The two of them smiled and replied "Yes". Yang Heshu said with a smile, "When I was in Luojiang County, I had contact with Master Bai. I didn't expect that Master Wei would come too."
Lord Wei smiled and said, "Before Lord Yang, I had also been to Qili Village. At that time, I stayed at Master Bai's house."
Just then, Mr. Bai came over with a wine glass, and Lord Wei picked up the glass to thank him for his hospitality that year.
Mr. Bai bowed humbly again and again. The invitation to Wei Zhi was sent by Manbao. He was not stupid. How could he not know who it was for?
Of course, it must have something to do with his Bai family. After all, there is some connection between them, right?
The Bai family doesn't have many relatives and friends in the capital. Apart from Bai Shan and the Zhou family, there are only some distant relatives, most of whom are relatives from the clan.
Mr. Bai did not send them any invitations. Firstly, they were not familiar with each other, and secondly, they had not had much contact before. If he suddenly sent them an invitation, he would think it was for the gift money.
So the rest are all classmates and friends of the four children.
When Master Bai was inviting guests, he specifically gave the four of them a lot of invitations. He said, "We don't care about the money, we just want it to be lively. We can't have a wedding banquet with fewer people than the servants in our house, right? The more lively it is, the more prosperous their future will be."
When Bai Dalang heard this, he immediately invited all the teachers, classmates and friends he had influence with. Bai Shan asked Feng Zongping and others, but it was difficult to ask for leave from Chongwenguan. He couldn't have a wedding at his house and ask everyone from Chongwenguan to come, right?
So he did not invite anyone, but instead invited his former classmates from the Imperial College.
The same went for Bai Erlang. After the two of them discussed it, Bai Erlang secretly sent a note to Kong Jijiu on behalf of Bai Dalang.
After all, Bai Dalang is a student of Kong Jijiu, right?
Of course, Kong Jijiu couldn't come. All the students in the Imperial College were his students, several thousand of them. If he went to the wedding of every student, how much wine would he have to drink in the whole year?
But he still took it to heart. After all, it was rare to receive wedding invitations from students he was not very familiar with, so he took the time to write a note to Bai Dalang.
When Mr. Bai saw it, he was so surprised that he had it framed, planning to take it back to his hometown and hang it in the front hall.
Kong Jijiu's calligraphy is very famous.
Manbao invited all the doctors and imperial physicians she knew, but she didn't care whether they were available or not.
But since even Wei Zhi came, others naturally had to give Zhou Man face, so quite a few people came.
Even though it wasn't held in their hometown, the wedding was still very lively and respectable. Cheng Dalang, who had come to escort the bride, was very pleased.
Once he was satisfied, he would pour Bai Dalang as much wine as he could.
Bai Dalang had already drunk three cups in a row and felt a little dizzy, so he looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang beside him.
The two of them understood what he meant. Even though they didn't like drinking much, they still stepped forward to stop him. After each of them had a drink, Bai Shan felt that their situation was not good, so he quietly slipped away and ran to the next table to drag Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang over. He said, "Brother Zhou Wulang, Brother Zhou Liulang, it will be your turn next month. Let's have a preview today."
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang were pushed next to Bai Dalang. Now it was Bai Dalang's classmates' turn to come forward and toast, and the two had no choice but to take over.
Zhou Wulang was not a big fan of wine, but he didn't dislike it either. He just drank with regret, "If only Fourth Brother were here, this kind of thing wouldn't be a problem for him at all."
Zhou Liulang nodded and whispered, "I wonder where Fourth Brother is right now. He has to be able to make it to my wedding on the eighth day of the first lunar month, right?"
Bai Shan said, "I know where he is."
Zhou Liulang was surprised and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, "You are so amazing? Where are you?"
Bai Shan pointed to the front and said, "Yes, it's over there."
Zhou Liulang and Bai Erlang beside him turned their heads and saw Zhou Silang being led in by a servant. He glanced at the crowd and immediately met Zhou Liulang and Bai Shan's eyes.
Zhou Liulang turned around and was about to go, but was grabbed by Bai Dalang and dragged over. "Brother Zhou Liu, come here, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhao, my classmate..."
So, want to hold a glass of wine?
Zhou Liulang couldn't get away, but Bai Shan, who was not good at drinking, slipped away and ran to see Zhou Silang, "Brother Zhou Silang,"
He saw Xiang Mingxue standing nearby and said happily, "Brother Xiang is back too. When did you guys arrive?"
"I got home half an hour ago, but none of you were home." But this didn't actually surprise Zhou Silang. What really surprised him was, "My parents are here?"
God knows how frightened Zhou Silang was when he found out about this. So he simply took a shower, changed his clothes, and rushed over with Xiang Mingxue without even washing his hair.
Bai Shan led them to the hall and said, "Zhou Bo and the others are in the hall, and Man Bao and the others are in the garden. Which one do you want to see first?"
Zhou Silang paused and then turned around, "I'll go see Manbao first."
Bai Shan smiled and went to the garden with him.
The female guests were all in the garden. Bai Shan stopped a maid on the road and asked her to call Manbao. Then he and Zhou Silang and the others found a big rock in the garden as they were familiar with it, and sat on it together to wait.
See you at 9pm
