Chapter 237 Questioning

When a wealthy family holds a wedding or funeral, the most difficult thing to deal with is the relationship between relatives and strangers. If the aunts and uncles sit at the top seats, then where do the superiors and colleagues sit? Therefore, in addition to hiring a few trustworthy people to set up an accounting office, you must also hire a few people who are good at socializing and familiar with the etiquette of weddings and funerals to set up a ceremony room to host, arrange, and take care of the etiquette affairs during the wedding and funeral. Otherwise, you may offend someone without knowing it, and even when you are about to sit down, the aunts and uncles who have been neglected will walk away, and a good happy event will turn into a farce!

What's more, in a family like the Duke of England's Mansion, the guests are either princes or nobles. If you don't discuss how to act in advance and neglect any guest, it will be more troublesome than if your aunt or uncle just walks away in anger.

For example, Ma Youming felt displeased because he received the wedding invitation at a very short notice.

Yan Chaoqing couldn't help but feel refreshed after hearing what Song Mo said.

This is the first time that Song Mo has asked about his marriage since the Song and Dou families got married.

Logically, this marriage was carefully planned by Song Mo, and he was not someone who would let others do whatever they wanted, so he should be very concerned about the wedding. But he acted a little careless, and this carelessness was not to paralyze the Duke of England, but to let the Duke of England arrange everything and really let the Duke of England be the master.

Yan Chaoqing felt that something unpleasant must have happened between Dou Zhao and Song Mo.

In the past, he thought that it was not good for Song Mo and Dou Zhao to date too often, firstly because Dou Zhao was engaged to Wei Tingyu at the time, and secondly because Song Mo's concern for Dou Zhao was beyond that of ordinary people, and he was afraid that Song Mo would do something immoral on impulse. Now that Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu have broken off their engagement, Song Mo has reached the right age to get married, and with Dou Zhao's ability, she can definitely take charge of the family, and he feels that there is no woman more suitable for Song Mo than Dou Zhao.

Yan Chaoqing was worried that Song Yichun would find out that he had been deceived and change his mind, and he was also afraid that Song Mo and Dou Zhao would be separated because of a misunderstanding. He wanted to find time to talk to Song Mo, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. He was worried and anxious, and he hadn't slept well these days.

At this moment, Song Mo swept away his past indifference and restored his previous calm and self-control when he was planning and strategizing. How could he not be happy?

It looks like things have finally cleared up between the two of them!

Yan Chaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Does the prince have any ideas?"

Song Mo asked, "Who do you want to invite to help at the wedding?"

Yan Chaoqing explained in detail what a blessed person is, what a groom's father is, and what a best man is.

Song Mo listened very carefully. After Yan Chaoqing finished speaking, he told Yan Chaoqing and others about his encounter with Ma Youming, and then asked, "Who did father invite to be the bride?"

Yan Chaoqing handed over all matters concerning Song Mo's wedding to Liao Bifeng.

Upon hearing this, Liao Bifeng hurriedly said, "It is the wife of Marquis Changxing who is invited."

Song Mo frowned slightly.

Although the wife of Marquis Changxing was of noble status, she could not be considered a blessed person because she did not have a father-in-law.

He thought for a moment and said, "For the lucky couple, let's invite Uncle Lu's grandmother. Don't worry about the receptionist, my father won't mess up. For the groomsmen, let's invite Ma Youming, Dong Qi, Shen Qing, Wang Qinghuai, Zhang Xuming, Lu Zhan, and Gu Yu," he said, pausing slightly, "and let's invite Tian En. For the person who carries the gold and silver jugs, let's invite Lu Zhan's eldest son Lu Gui, and for the best man, let's invite Wang Qinghuai's wife and Zhang Xuming's wife."

The ceremony was decided in no time.

Liao Bifeng took a breath of cool air.

Lu Zhan is the eldest grandson of Lu Fuli. It is reasonable to ask Lu Zhan's wife to be the lucky one and his son to carry the gold and silver water jug. After all, the Lu family is the maternal family of the Duke, and the Lu family has lived together for several generations. The eldest grandmother has both sons and daughters and is well-known for her virtue. But the old men who are getting married are all descendants of nobles. Among them, there are three princes. The wife of the best man Wang Qinghuai is a super-first-class lady, and the wife of Zhang Xuming is the granddaughter of Princess Ningde... This lineup is almost as grand as the wedding of a prince! No, even the wedding of a prince is not so grand.

He couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

It seems that the Crown Prince attaches great importance to the future Crown Princess!

Yan Chaoqing glanced at Song Mo with a complicated expression.

Prince, you have grown up!

Knowing that husband and wife are one, he knows that Dou Zhao's honor is his dignity, and his dignity can make Dou Zhao glorious.

My lady’s spirit in heaven could see this and would probably feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Yan Chaoqing felt a pang in his heart and his eyes became wet.

Gu Yu's face looked very ugly.

Didn't I say that the fourth daughter of the Dou family was not a good match? Why didn't Brother Tianci listen to him? In order to save her face, he even put aside his grudge with Dong Qi. Brother Tianci was too... too serious about the fourth daughter of the Dou family!

Does the fourth daughter of the Dou family know what Brother Tianci has done for her?

Thinking of this, he felt sorry for Song Mo and couldn't help but say, "Brother Tianci, let's not invite Dong Qi. He is a sinister and cunning person. He has no ability, but he always dislikes you..."

Song Mo smiled and interrupted him: "Doesn't Dong Qi always boast that he admires me? This time, let's ask him to help run errands. With so many people watching, I'm sure he won't go back on his word. As for the things on the way to the wedding, with Wang Dahai here, nothing will go wrong."

As for what Dong Qi thinks in his heart...what does it matter!

As soon as Song Mo said this, Gu Yu figured out the connection.

Gu Yu was immediately delighted to be able to embarrass Dong Qi and let him add icing to Song Mo's cake. He winked and said, "I'll go give Dong Qi the invitation." He looked like he was eager to cause trouble in the world.

Song Mojian shifted Gu Yu's gaze, smiled slightly, and asked Yan Chaoqing to write invitations to Ma Youming and others.

Liao Bifeng went to the reception room and told the people there about the people Song Mo had invited.

Yan Chaoqing laughed, wrote an invitation to Dong Qi first, and handed it to Gu Yu.

Gu Yuxing rushed out of the Duke of England's Mansion.

Looking at the dark alley outside, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

I should talk to Brother Tianci again.

Then I thought, if Brother Tianci had not married the fourth daughter of the Dou family, such a luxurious and lively wedding would have been so interesting!

Gu Yu sighed, and even the joy of being able to tease Dong Qi was reduced a little.

※※※※※

Tomorrow is the day to prepare for the wedding. The wedding room has already prepared all matters related to the wedding. Suddenly, they received a message from Liao Bifeng saying that Song Mo has invited several close friends to help with the wedding, which overturned all the previous arrangements. The wedding room immediately became a mess.

He was smart enough to take the list written by Liao Bifeng to see the British prince.

Song Yichun and the others had not yet left, and were being served a midnight snack by maids and old women.

Song Maochun, Song Fengchun and Song Tongchun all flattered Song Yichun with a smile - after some bargaining, the wives of Song Maochun and Song Tongchun got the position of best man, and Song Fengchun's son got the job of carrying gold and silver jugs, so everyone shared the benefits and was very satisfied.

After hearing the steward's report, Song Maochun and others booed.

Except for Song Han, Song Mo, none of the people in the Song family are needed!

This is clearly a slap in Song Yichun's face!

Song Yichun choked on half a dumpling in his throat, his face flushed red. If Tao Qizhong, who was sitting next to him, hadn't noticed it early and slapped him on the vest, he would have died on the spot.

"This evil creature!" He coughed and cursed Song Mo.

Tao Qizhong quickly winked at the steward and handed a cup of tea to Song Yichun to calm him down. Song Yichun finally stopped talking. Tao Qizhong then gently advised: "Except Uncle Lu, all the people invited by the Crown Prince are officials, and three of them are Crown Princes. The Duke should not confront the Crown Prince. If you do so, you will offend all the people invited by the Crown Prince. And the Crown Prince can also say that it was your intention. Think about it, how many noble families are there in Kyoto that are still powerful today? Please think twice, Duke!"

Song Yichun's face turned purple, and he said unwillingly: "Are we just going to let that evil creature do whatever he wants? How am I going to explain to the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion?" But his tone softened.

Song Maochun and Song Tongchun couldn't help but exchange glances.

Tao Qizhong said: "Fortunately, there is only one Marquis of Changxing among my relatives, so I can just find an excuse to get away with it. I am just worried that the prince has invited so many famous people at once, and Dong Qi, who has always been dissatisfied with the prince, is also among them..."

This isn't a marriage at all; it's clearly a demonstration against him!

Song Yichun was furious.

But apart from being furious, he had no other choice.

Just as Tao Qizhong said, if he rejected Song Mo's request, he would offend everyone on the list, and then he would become someone that everyone disliked!

The steward was a shrewd man. He knew how to handle the situation at a glance. He returned to the reception room quietly and told the people there to follow the list.

Tao Qizhong rushed to the Changxing Marquis's mansion overnight to pay tribute to the Marquis's wife.

Song Yichun, however, felt as if a huge rock was weighing on his heart. He lay on the bed groaning, scolding the maids or kicking the servants, and was in a state of torment until dawn. When all the people he had arranged to urge her to do her makeup arrived, Tao Qizhong, who had not slept all night, went to each of them to pay her respects, using the excuse that Dong Qi and others had to join in the fun. Song Yichun could not refuse, so he had to agree to wait, and after a long explanation, he invited those people to sit in the flower hall and gave them thank-you gifts. Only then did he appease them. Then Song Yichun got up, washed up, and appeared in the hall listlessly.

Wang Qinghuai and others had already arrived, and were drinking tea with Song Mo and Yan Chaoqing.

The glittering five-beam and six-beam crowns, the bright red official uniforms, and the colorful patches made the flower hall look magnificent and splendid. As soon as Song Yichun stepped into the room, his eyes twitched slightly and his face darkened.

"Father!" Song Mo stood up and saluted Song Yichun with a smile, calm, elegant and unparalleled grace.

He always looks like a handsome and elegant gentleman, but he is actually full of evil intentions, which makes him unable to raise his head!

Song Yichun was filled with resentment, but seeing Wang Qinghuai and others coming forward to greet him, he had to put on a friendly look and chat with Wang Qinghuai and others.

Then Song Yichun discovered that Dong Qi was the only one missing from this group of people.

Song Yichun tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Song Mo, ah, Song Mo, you are still too naive!

So who is Dong Qi?

The successor carefully cultivated by Guang Enbo.

Would he give face to others so easily?

Good things come in pairs!

There are seven people, either add one person or subtract one person.

Adding one more person, the auspicious time is almost here, weren't you very stubborn yesterday, saying you didn't want any of my people? I don't have anyone to give you today either.

Minus one. You invited all these people here overnight. Let's see who you should minus?

For a moment, Song Yichun showed a warm smile.
