Chapter 253 Carpooling
Chen Tang thought Xie Guimo was looking for her for something important, but it turned out to be just Yan Mo...
But Chen Tang didn't have anything else to do. Mother Zhou was there to help manage Chenxiangxuan, and the maids in the yard were all very obedient, so she didn't have to worry about anything and just ground ink for Xie Guimo.
However, Chen Tang got up late before staying in the study for long. In addition, he went to pay his respects to the princess and strolled in the garden. Chen Tang ground the ink into a thick consistency, but Xie Guimo didn't write a single word before the maid came to invite them to lunch.
Fortunately, Xie Guimo's inkstone does not freeze in winter and does not dry out in summer, so he can continue to use it after lunch.
Chen Tang stayed in the study room for the entire afternoon, and when he went out, he held onto his waist.
Um.
Hongxiu added fragrance, and as she continued to lick the baby, she first moved it to her arms, then to the desk, and finally she was carried to the bed.
Chen Tang didn't agree to do that in broad daylight, but he couldn't resist being persuaded. Tomorrow is the day of the coming-of-age banquet at Princess Jinde's residence. Chen Tang has to go early to help greet the guests and go to bed early at night to get a good rest.
Chen Tang was once again eaten up completely without even a bone left.
Fortunately, the guy kept his word and only hugged her for a while at night without bullying her. She slept well that night and woke up in the morning feeling refreshed, which was a rare occurrence.
…
Princess Jinde’s mansion not only invited Chen Tang and Xie Guimo to help entertain the guests, but also invited the princess.
After breakfast, Chen Tang and Xie Guimo went out together and ran into the princess in the garden. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage was already ready.
Because the princess was also going, Chen Tang and the princess rode in the carriage together, and Xie Guimo could only ride a horse.
Princess Jinde's Mansion and Prince Jingyang's Mansion are close to each other. There are not many people on the road at this moment, so it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.
The carriage stopped, Shen Tang got off first, then helped the princess down, the nanny was waiting at the door, and said with a smile, "Princess Jingyang and the Crown Prince's wife are here, please come in quickly."
After entering the Princess's Mansion, Princess Jinde came over and said with a smile on her face, "Luckily you are here to help greet the guests, otherwise the Prince Consort and I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
The princess smiled and said, "Congratulations, Princess."
Princess Jinde never dreamed that she would have the day to marry her daughter off in this life, but she was not sad about marrying her daughter off, because General Huaihua and his wife were considerate and agreed that after Shen Ran got married, Young Master Xu would live with the princess for half a year. Shen Ran would only be married for two days before she would come back with her son-in-law. Not only would the princess's mansion no longer be deserted, but it would be more lively.
All this was thanks to Chen Tang and Xie Guimo. Princess Jinde was grateful, so she wrote an invitation to invite the prince and princess to the wedding banquet, and had them sent to the Jingyang Palace by a personal nanny, asking the princess to help entertain the guests on the day of the wedding banquet at the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Jinde and the princess were talking and laughing as they walked towards the inner courtyard. Chen Tang followed behind them. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, Ginkgo looked back and said happily, "Princess, it's the eldest young master and Prince Duan who are here."
Chen Tang turned around and saw Xiao Huan and Xiao Xun getting off their horses. With them came Chu Yi, the son of Marquis Xuanyi, and Lu Li, the eldest son of the Minister of War.
Chen Tang was just worried that Xie Guimo was bored alone in the front yard, and now everyone is here.
In a few days, it will be the day when the eldest brother marries Princess Roujia. She is getting married, and the eldest brother is getting married, but the second brother is not here. Even now, there is still no news. It is not known whether the exiled third young master of the Lu family is the second brother. The eldest brother has sent people to the border for so long, and there should be news back.
Even if she got the wrong person and Young Master Lu was not her second brother, she wanted to know the result as soon as possible, rather than just waiting with hope.
Chen Tang did not walk back. When she looked away, the princess and Princess Jinde had already walked far away. She hurried to catch up with them, but soon they separated again. The maid led Chen Tang to find Chen Ran.
Shen Ran stayed in her boudoir, not knowing what the maid said, her cheeks flushed.
Chen Tang saw it and smiled, "Why is your face so red?"
Shen Ran covered her face and said, “Second sister, you are laughing at me too!”
Chen Tang said, "It's not a joke, it's envy. It's so nice to be able to stay with the eldest princess and her husband after getting married."
Shen Ran blushed and said, "Prince Jingyang holds my second sister at the top of his heart. This is really enviable."
Today is Shen Ran's wedding banquet, but Shen Ran cannot show up in public and can only stay in the boudoir. Shen Tang talks to her, and soon Jiang Ning, Jiang Li and Shen Luo come.
There was constant laughter in the room.
However, only Chen Tang stayed with Chen Ran in the boudoir. Jiang Ning and Chen Luo had to help entertain the ladies and stay in the garden more.
Shen Ran looked at Shen Tang and asked curiously, “Second sister, how did you feel when you got married?”
This…Chen Tang really didn’t know how to answer.
She wore her wedding dress three times and rode in a sedan chair twice, and her mood was different each time.
The first time was the anxiety about the future and the reluctance to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
The second time was a mixture of reluctance and anticipation, and some nervousness, but to a negligible degree.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "You will cry at your wedding tomorrow. Judging from the look of Third Sister, she will most likely not be able to cry."
Shen Ran, "..."
Shen Ran stamped his feet in shame.
She was asking her second sister a serious question, but her second sister deliberately teased her.
But she was also a little worried. A girl is supposed to cry when she gets married. What if she can't cry tomorrow?
Gingko covered her mouth and laughed, "Why don't you prepare some chili water? I guarantee it will be so spicy that tears will flow."
Shen Ran looked at Shen Tang.
Chen Tang nodded in agreement, "It seems that this is the only way."
Shen Ran was so embarrassed that he chased after Shen Tang and beat him.
There was a lot of noise until the maid came in and said, "The feast is about to begin. Please invite the Princess of Jingyang to take the table."
Shen Ran looked reluctant.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "I'll wait for you at the General's Mansion in Huaihua tomorrow."
Shen Ran, "..."
Just now he was reluctant, but as soon as these words came out, Shen Ran wanted to push Shen Tang out.
Chen Tang walked away with a smile, following the maid to the banquet, she could hear the noise from a distance, she was almost the last one to be seated.
Princess Jinde and her husband married their daughter off. All the civil and military officials in the court who could attend were present. The occasion was filled with toasts and joy, and the atmosphere was lively and festive.
The wedding banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended. After helping to see the guests off, Chen Tang and Xie Guimo said goodbye to Princess Jinde and her husband.
Chen Tang looked around, "Where's my mother?"
Xie Guimo said, "My mother and father have already gone back."
Chen Tang said, "My mother and I came here in a carriage together, so how can I go back?"
Xie Guimo laughed, "Can I still leave you in Princess Jinde's mansion?"
The two of them left Princess Jinde's mansion together. The servant had already brought the horse over. Xie Guimo helped Chen Tang onto the horse, and then he got on as well, and the two of them rode together.
Chen Tang had lived two lives, but this was the first time he rode a horse. The wind blew past his ears, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
