Chapter 79: You have to submit a visiting card to enter
Aunt Su felt bitter in her heart, but she replied, "Aunt supports you."
The mistress refused to help with the arrangements, the old lady turned a blind eye, and her daughter was determined to get married. What could she do? She tried to persuade her earnestly but she refused to listen. She couldn't bear to beat or scold her, so she could only let her go.
She only has one daughter, Shuer.
Shuxi came in and said, "Miss, Auntie, the Seventh Young Master said that the bridal sedan has arrived."
"Shu'er, live a good life. Come home if you have any problems." Upon hearing this, Aunt Su covered her daughter's head with a veil and wiped her tears. "Let the Seventh Young Master come in."
"Aunt Su, I'll carry my third sister out." Ming Zhouqi came in and bowed to Aunt Su as a junior.
Ming Zhouqi was shocked when he learned that his grandmother had assigned him such a task.
He was only twelve, the eldest son of the wife. How could he carry his married sister? If his brothers were around, wouldn't they all carry her? This should have been the third brother's turn. It shouldn't have been his turn.
But my brothers were in the army, and my grandmother said she didn't bother them anymore so she came back on leave. My fourth brother had to study, so I couldn't disturb him. It seemed that she was really disappointed with my third sister.
Once grandma becomes cold towards someone, she will not be in a good mood. Ming Zhouqi thought that he must not make grandma angry in the future.
"Sorry to trouble you, Seventh Young Master." Aunt Su looked unhappy, but she couldn't turn her face away from Ming Zhouqi.
If you don't let your eldest brother carry your child out, then Ming Zhoushi can carry him. But you actually sent a half-grown child!
"You're welcome." Ming Zhouqi squatted in front of Ming Yueshu, hiding the complexities in his eyes, and said, "Third sister, come up."
When Ming Yueshu heard that it was Ming Zhouqi who came, she wanted to cry, but also felt a little angry, and bit her lips tightly.
She turned 13 and became an adult, which was her big day, but she actually asked her seventh brother, who was only 12 years old and not yet an adult, to come and see her off.
Ming Yueshu climbed onto Ming Zhouqi's back somewhat reluctantly.
Although Ming Zhouqi is only twelve years old, he is now taller than Ming Yueshu and has grown stronger, so he can carry Ming Yueshu on his back without any effort.
Because the old lady said that if Mingyueshu accepted the marriage proposal and got married, she would no longer be a girl from the Duke's Mansion. Qiao Ruoying did not help with much of the arrangements, so the guests invited to the wedding banquet were not from very noble families, but mostly from Aunt Su's family.
But since she was repaying the kindness of raising her for more than ten years, Qiao Ruoying did not do anything too extreme. She gave her a lot of dowry and the wedding ceremony was also quite decent.
After the sedan chair left and the guests left, the servants began to clean up, leaving Aunt Su standing at the door alone, reluctant to leave.
She asked the maid, "Xuancao, do you think Shu'er really did something wrong?"
Qiao Jingchuan seemed quite polite in front of her. She couldn't see anything wrong with him. Could it be that the master and the others had made a mistake?
Aunt Su tried to convince herself.
The maid lowered her head and dared not answer.
In the afternoon, Mingyue Linfeng rushed into Tangli Courtyard and looked around Shi Jianli, with excitement and resentment in his eyes.
Shi Jianli asked Lanxing to bring her a bowl of honey bayberry pastry and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Li, you are so unfair. You didn't even tell me that you were engaged to my eldest brother. I only found out about it when I went to my mother and saw the marriage certificate." Mingyuelin squatted in front of her.
There were quite a few boxes tied with red cloth in the yard, large and small, covering most of the yard.
Shi Jianli put a hand holding a bowl of papaya juice on her face and said, "I told you yesterday that you would know today. Otherwise, you would keep pestering me with questions. Do you really think I won't be shy?"
Mingyuelin felt a little cold, shrank his neck, and then held her hand again, with a smile on his face.
She was almost going crazy with joy. Sister Li was really going to become her sister-in-law!
It was worth it for her to push here and there secretly from behind. She had to ask the eldest brother for more good things.
Shi Jianli used some strength to pull her up, "You'll be grinning when your legs get numb later."
Mingyuelin sat down with a smile, holding the bowl of crispy noodles and eating, staring at her from time to time.
Shi Jianli blinked and felt that the brother and sister were sometimes quite similar.
"The ice is melting," she warned.
"This icy cold water tastes good even without ice." Ming Yuelin scooped up some ice smoothie and started to feel worried again. "I'm going to Chaozhou in a few days. It will be hot and tiring on the road, and I won't be able to eat ice."
"Bring a palm-leaf fan to fan yourself, as the wind is stronger. Also prepare backgammon, leaf games, go, and storybooks to avoid boredom."
Mingyuelin was muttering to herself, and Shijianli nodded from time to time.
Around the hour of You, Lanxing and Xianyue went to the kitchen to get dinner. When they came back, they were followed by Tianyu and a few servants.
Tianyu was also carrying a food box, and the servants were carrying two boxes.
"Second Miss, Miss Li." Tianyu greeted with a smile.
Ming Yuelin held his chin and asked, "What is this for? Such a big event."
She doesn't look much like those betrothal gifts.
"My Lord has been asked out by Prince Ji and Prince Yu. Baiweizhai has released two new dishes and asked me to bring them back for Miss Li to try." Tianyu replied, "These two boxes were prepared by the prince yesterday. They contain some jewelry, tea, and supplements. He also asked me to bring them over."
Mingyuelin looked at Shi Jianli teasingly.
Shi Jianli ignored her and said, "Leave it there. Thank my cousin for me."
"Yes, I will definitely tell you." Tian Yu looked at Ming Yuelin again, "Second Miss, Prince Ji also asked me to bring you two dishes you like. Since you are here with Miss Li, I won't make another trip."
Shi Jianli looked at her.
Ming Yuelin coughed lightly, "Ahem, put it here."
Tian Yu smiled seriously, "Second Miss, would you like me to give a message to Prince Ji as well?"
"Just say I received it." Mingyuelin glanced at him.
How could there be such a funny guy around my brother who only cares about watching his master having fun?
I don’t know why Ji Gudong suddenly became less cold these days. He even took the initiative to give her things and asked her out to play.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Tianyu put down the food box and went out with a few servants.
Xianyue, Lanxing and Mingyuelin's maids took out four dishes from the food boxes and prepared dinner for the two masters.
…
Three days later, Mingyueshu returned home with Qiao Jingchuan and a group of maids and servants.
As he was about to enter, the doorman held out his hand to stop him, saying expressionlessly, "Greetings, Madam Qiao and Master Qiao. Have you two brought your visiting cards?"
Ming Yueshu's originally cheerful expression froze, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms. Trying to remain calm, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Jingchuan looked at the doorman and then at Ming Yueshu, feeling heavy in his heart.
As with every guest, the concierge was polite and respectful, but his words chilled Ming Yueshu's heart: "Mrs. Qiao, have you forgotten? You ignored the advice of the old lady and the second master, and insisted on getting married. Once you get married, you will no longer be a daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Therefore, if you want to enter, you must present a visiting card. Only when the masters agree can you enter."
This invisible slap landed hotly on Mingyueshu and Qiao Jingchuan's faces. Qiao Jingchuan felt that the onlookers around them were looking at them with ridicule and mockery, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.
After adjusting his mood, Qiao Jingchuan looked at Ming Yueshu worriedly.
