Chapter 220 Lin Shuo Gets Married
The next morning, Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran took Zi Tong to visit the Lin Mansion.
The Lin Mansion was still busy, with people coming and going, very lively.
Lin Shuo was away for some time, so Lin Wu and Zhao Xiu were in charge of sending the betrothal gifts. Now that Lin Shuo is back, there is nothing else to do except trying on the wedding dress.
As soon as they arrived at the Lin Mansion and hadn't even sat down on the chair, the emperor sent someone to tell Wei Xiaoran and Lin Shuo to go to the palace.
The two then remembered that they were in such a hurry yesterday, one for his wife and the other for his daughter, that they even forgot to report the situation in the disaster area to the emperor.
After the two left, Lin Qian held Zi Tong and followed Zhao Xiu and Lin Wu around the Lin Mansion for a whole day, watching them busy themselves.
The next day, just after dawn, firecrackers were heard from the Lin Mansion, crackling and waking Lin Qian.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Qian turned around and asked Wei Xiaoran, "Are you here so early to deliver the dowry?"
The day before the wedding, the bride's side would first bring over big things like furniture, so today is the day when Prince Ping'an's Palace comes to deliver the dowry. However, isn't this a little too early?
Wei Xiaoran was patting Zi Tong, who was sleeping a little uneasily. When he heard Lin Qian's question, he smiled and said, "Since there are so many things, it naturally came early. Prince Ping'an and the Princess only have this one daughter, so the dowry must be quite a lot, which was accumulated bit by bit since she was a child.
Furniture like the Thousand-Craftsmanship Babu Bed and the Solitary Taishi Chair are all made of the finest wood and take several years to create."
Lin Qian naturally knew this and nodded. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked, "So, have you started preparing Zi Tong's dowry?"
Wei Xiaoran patted his daughter's hand for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, Zitong might be the daughter-in-law of the royal family in the future. She might not need the furniture, so I replaced it with land and shops."
No matter what time it is, it is better for a girl to have more money to support herself, so that she can have more confidence in her parents' home.
Lin Qian also thought of this. Looking at her daughter's sleeping face, she sighed. She didn't know what the future would be like for this child, whether she could live a good life, and whether she could live happily.
"Fortunately, my daughter is still young, so let's not think about these things for now. Let's go, we have to go and help." Wei Xiaoran smiled at Lin Qian and said. Lin Qian nodded, and the two got out of bed to wash up.
When Wei Xiaoran and Lin Qian arrived at the Lin Mansion, the servants were just carrying a complete set of huanghuali wood furniture into the mansion. Lin Qian was amazed when she saw it.
This set of furniture is exquisitely crafted and beautifully made. If it were sold outside, it would be worth a fortune. And this is not the best. There are more behind it, all of which are rare and exquisite items.
"Prince Ping'an must have emptied out all the family wealth." Lin Qian watched for a while and whispered to Wei Xiaoran beside her.
Wei Xiaoran, however, looked unconcerned. He said, "That's nothing. If our daughter could marry an ordinary person, the dowry I would give her would definitely be more than this."
After the furniture came screens and various large items. In short, there were a lot of them, filling up Lin Shuo's two-entry, five-room courtyard.
The next day was the auspicious time. Lin Shuo was not in good shape that day. How should I put it? He felt so happy that he wanted to fly.
Lin Qian was laughing at Lin Shuo beside him, but as she laughed, she began to sigh.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing for no reason?" Wei Xiaoran heard it and came over to ask.
Lin Qian said, "It's just a little sad. We've been in this world for so long, and now even Shuo Shuo is getting married and starting a family. But fortunately, our family is still together."
As she spoke, Lin Qian looked towards the lobby. Zhao Xiu and Lin Wu were discussing something, while Lin Shuo was sitting on the side, holding a jade pendant and grinning foolishly.
Even though they have changed the world and time, their family is still together. It’s really great.
Because the Lin residence was quite busy, Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran did not bother them and went home to pick up their daughter. They only waited until the next day for the official ceremony to arrive and then come back to help.
Lin Qian didn't sleep much that night. She got up and dressed just after dawn. Today was her brother's wedding day, so she had to dress up.
Wei Xiaoran was woken up by Lin Qian, so he got up and washed up. After handing Zi Tong to Zhang Yufang, the two went next door first.
The tall horses and the sedan chair are ready, and we are about to go to pick up the bride.
Wei Xiaoran would accompany Lin Shuo to the wedding reception today, helping him fend off any trouble and alcohol. With the Prime Minister and the Imperial Guards Commander Wang Youshan personally accompanying him, it was unclear if anyone would dare to stop Lin Shuo.
However, Lin Qian could not go, and could only stay in the Lin Mansion to help Zhao Xiu receive the ladies and young ladies who came to attend the wedding banquet.
Although Lin Qian rarely attends banquets among officials, she knows everyone who comes, because they have all come to see Lin Qian for medical treatment.
After a round of greetings, Lin Qian felt that her face was about to freeze when she smiled. Fortunately, at this moment, firecrackers were heard from the front door, and the bride came in. Lin Qian hurried to watch the ceremony.
Lin Shuo smiled with a face full of love, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and led Ge Wenyu into the house.
Lin Qian watched and suddenly felt that marriage was destined by heaven, just like when she gave Wei Xiaoran a pill to save him.
Or maybe when they all went out, only Lin Shuo saw the kidnapped Ge Wenyu and finally saved her.
Fate is something extremely mysterious.
Lin Qian stood beside Zhao Xiu, watching Lin Shuo and Ge Wenyu worship heaven and earth and offer tea to their parents.
Finally, the two were pushed into the bridal chamber. Among their family members, only Lin Qian was allowed to go with them.
When they arrived at the bridal chamber, Lin Shuo lifted the veil, revealing Ge Wenyu's beautiful face. Lin Shuo was obviously stunned for a few seconds.
This made Lin Yuan, Lin Xing and the other deputy generals following Lin Shuo all laugh.
After drinking the wedding wine, Lin Shuo was carried away by a few friends. Only a group of ladies of the same generation were left in the bridal chamber, teasing the bride.
Seeing Ge Wenyu blushing due to the teasing, Lin Qian, as the elder sister-in-law, naturally had to protect her younger brother and sister-in-law.
"Okay, okay, the new daughter-in-law is shy, how can you keep teasing her like this?" Lin Qian said.
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone understood. A sister-in-law smiled and said, "Okay, we talked too much. Look at the bride's blushing face. Okay, let's all go out and have a drink." After that, she took the lead and went out.
Lin Qian winked at Ge Wenyu, who immediately nodded gratefully at Lin Qian, and then Lin Qian followed him out to eat and drink with her.
That night, it was heard that the soldiers under Lin Shuo toasted him one by one, and Lin Yuan and Lin Xing helped Lin Shuo to block the wine, but in the end they were all drunk and fell under the table.
Anyway, Lin Shuo was carried back by someone. Lin Qian raised her eyebrows at this. Lin Shuo came to her early in the morning to ask about the yeast for making wine.
Whatever was carried back was most likely fake.
