"Ali, is Zhou really not coming today?"
There was a rule in the Daning Dynasty that before a woman went out, her mother had to put a red veil on her head to represent the continuation of happiness. Even after marrying into her husband's family, she would still be loved as she was in her parents' home.
But ever since Jiang Shengsheng got into trouble and Jiang Li didn't agree to let her be part of the dowry, Zhou pretended to be sick and was unwilling to attend Jiang Li's wedding. Anyway, for her, if Jiang Li was looked down upon because of this incident, that would just be what she wanted.
After all, it was a soul from another world, Jiang Li didn't care.
Even if we take a step back, Gu Qingchen is a support for her, not a home.
Her most important concerns at the moment are to get married as soon as possible, to get treatment as soon as possible, and to leave the capital as soon as possible.
There was a loud noise outside the yard.
The next moment, the door was pushed open and a dignified and elegant woman walked in.
The person who came had willow-shaped eyebrows and a face as beautiful as a lotus. She didn't look like a person in her thirties who had given birth to several children.
"Mrs. Jiang, why are you here?" Princess Yong'an never expected that the general's wife, who rarely interacted with the women in the capital, would appear here at this time.
Let’s go back to three days ago.
Seeing that Jiang Li was about to get married, An Wanqiu insisted on dragging Jiang Li to worship Buddha, asking the Buddha to bless Jiang Li with everything going well.
However, that day, it started to rain heavily as soon as the two of them arrived at Baoen Temple. After they finished worshipping, they could only wait for the rain to subside before going down the mountain.
Just as the young monk took the two of them to the side room to rest and shelter from the rain, Jiang Li heard a cry for help.
"That day, if it weren't for Li'er, I would have died there." Xue Rou took a small box from the maid's hand and placed it in Jiang Li's hand. "Your life-saving grace should be repaid well, but you didn't want anything, so I took advantage of the opportunity. So, today, godmother must come and send our little girl off to marry."
Even if she didn't care, Jiang Li's heart softened when she heard these words. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be cared for by elders.
The old man in that world also loved her, but men were different from women after all. This was the first time Jiang Li had felt such tender care from Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Li took the makeup from Mrs. Jiang's hand and saw that the box was not big, so she accepted it after thinking about it.
In fact, Mrs. Jiang just fell that day and got caught in the rain, which caused her to have a high fever. She just treated her wound and prescribed some antipyretic medicine. As a result, when Mrs. Jiang woke up, she insisted on giving her a hundred taels of gold as a consultation fee.
Be careful, General Jiang has been fighting outside all year round. Even if he can earn some money by rewarding the military officer, Jiang Li doesn't want to empty his savings just by saving him once.
It just so happened that Mrs. Jiang said that when she saw Jiang Li, she was reminded of her own daughter who died young. Seeing that Jiang Li couldn't stop crying, Jiang Li suggested that they should recognize her as a godmother so that she would have more support in the future.
"You little bastard, come in now!"
Seeing Jiang Li accept the things obediently, Xue Rou nodded with satisfaction, touched the little girl's hand, and looked at Jiang Li's little face. She felt that her daughter had grown up. If it were not for the emperor's arrangement of marriage, she would definitely postpone the wedding date and take her back to the general's mansion to raise her well.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red, Jiang Li felt that the person in front of him was soft-hearted. No wonder she was known as "Water Lotus" in Beijing. Just when he was thinking about whether to speak to comfort her, Xue Rou suddenly roared towards the outside.
The next moment, a familiar man was seen pulling at the door frame, revealing his face: "Mom..."
"Jiang Mubai, are you going to the bathroom in the courtyard?! Why are you hesitating? Where's the makeup you prepared for your sister?!"
. . . . . .
Everyone present was silent.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Jiang would have such a personality.
When Jiang Mubai, who was named, heard these words, he looked up and saw that all the women in the room were staring at him, and his face turned red as liver.
"Puff——" Jiang Li was the first one who couldn't help it.
Jiang Mubai touched the tip of his nose, hesitated and stepped forward. He rummaged in his sleeves for a long time before finally pulling out a small token and handing it to Jiang Li: "Sister...sister, this is a gift from me to you to add to your makeup."
As soon as Jiang Li saw Jiang Mubai, she immediately recognized him as the man who had been beaten up by her when he climbed over the wall that day.
Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Li took the token and knelt in greeting, "Well, thank you very much, brother."
Looking at the younger sister who suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Mubai remembered the time when he was taught by his mother by holding her ears, and at that moment, his eyes became red.
"Here he comes, the groom is here!"
As they were talking, there were noises coming from outside the Jiang Mansion, firecrackers crackling, and the servants in the yard scrambled to look outside.
"Look, it's Prince Jingling!"
The crowd who had been waiting outside the Jiang Mansion early in the morning to watch the excitement were all surprised when they saw the wedding procession coming.
Didn't they say that marrying Jiang Li was for the purpose of bringing good luck? Why did Prince Jingling actually come to pick up the bride in person?!
"Your Highness, yesterday's rumor was the same as the one about the General's youngest daughter a few days ago. It was also spread by the people in the White Crow Tower."
Riding a white horse and wearing a red dress, Gu Qingchen looked particularly stunning.
Mo Qi followed behind Gu Qingchen and told him the news sent by Mo Yun Pavilion early in the morning.
The man's expression did not change, but his eyes turned cold in an instant.
"Let Mo San prepare and start in advance."
Nearing the Jiang Mansion, Mo Qi was about to dismount when he heard Gu Qingchen's explanation. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Sure enough! The prince still cared about Miss Jiang!
He looked at Mo Jiu provocatively and said, "Just accept the loss, little Mo Jiu!"
"That's because the people from Baiya Tower have angered the prince time and time again, so naturally they have to take action. Do you understand?" Mo Jiu reluctantly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and put it in Mo Qi's hand.
