342 Alas, Your Adult Life Is Really Tiring
342. Oh, you adults are really tired
The guests at the wedding banquet dispersed one after another. As the host, the Qi family was a little tired because the mistress Xu was pregnant. Mr. Qi was a full wife who was naturally accompanied by him. He could not let Mrs. Qi, the elder, come out to see him off, let alone let the Donghou and Mrs. Donghou of the woman's family see him off. So after thinking about this, the guests did not find it too strange to see Qingxi, Qiushui and Aunt Xiao greet them with courtesy.
Qi Mingluan took on the task of being the only legitimate daughter and sent a guest who had a marriage relationship with the Qi family. Her aunt, Princess Duan, gently stroked Qi Mingluan's cheeks with great favor, and instructed her to take her sister Xu Ranmei to give birth safely before bringing a gift to visit her. She pulled Yu Yihuan over and said a few words and left.
"Madam, everything is fine, Master Qi is always guarding you." Mo Lan took the pulse for Xu and came out to wait by Qi Mingluan. I think there were Qi Houru and a few servants guarding him. No one would have the chance to be ill-intentioned to Xu. God knew how tight the strings in Mo Lan's heart were in this dinner, and he couldn't leave the Qi family with the unwillingness to give up. If Min Liuyun was not giving up, he was planning to do something.
"Senior brother has just arrived? Cousin Rui has left. Didn't he tell her to greet Cousin Rui?" Qi Mingluan inadvertently brushed her scarf with her little hand. After a wedding banquet, she didn't know at all that her mother had just escaped from the disaster. She just felt that she had just come forward to deal with a small number of people, but she still felt very tired.
"My junior sister said this. Could it be that one day when the emperor really issued a marriage order to let me be a county master, my junior sister would be happy?" Mo Lan shook her head and sighed. He could understand Yu Yirui's little daughter's thoughts, but the princess also hinted that a few words of this meaning was enough. At present, he could only listen to Xiao Mingluan's words with some sour words as comfort. Qi Mingluan replied with a squinted look and ignored it, because Qi Wenjuan's family and Beihou were coming not far away.
At this time, Mo Lan and Qi Mingluan just thought that what they said just now was a joke, but they didn't know how long it took Yu Yujue to give the marriage imperial edict. By then, they didn't know if they could still laugh.
"Enjoyed father, adoptive mother, brother." In terms of etiquette, Qi Mingluan still couldn't lose her sense of proportion. Mo Lan accompanied a smile on the side. After knowing Min Liuyun's narrow heart, Mo Lan had already tried her best to restrain herself.
"Our Xiao Mingluan is about to be a sister." Qi Wenjuan first came up and held Qi Mingluan's little hand familiarly, looking more and more happy, wishing that Qi Mingluan was the daughter she gave birth to. "It's a pity that I gave birth to two sons, and the sons also gave birth to grandsons, and they were always not complete."
"My cousin Lingyu has a lot of filial piety to her aunt. I heard that she returned to the door a while ago and brought a lot of gifts to her aunt, right?" Qi Mingluan blurted out and mentioned Wu Lingyu, a concubine who was raised by Qi Wenjuan as a legitimate daughter, was not Qi Wenjuan's biological daughter, and she spoke without caring about other people's feelings. Perhaps the people here have a crush on the concept of legitimate birth, but Qi Mingluan always had awkwardness about Wu Lingyu's home. In her heart, she even felt that Wu Lingyu was not as comfortable as Qi Mingqiu married Yu Yixiu.
"Oh, how can I get back to the door with a third prince? I just hope that she can keep her duty well and not make mistakes. I can't compare to Cheng'er's marriage with Princess Donghou." Qi Wenjuan's expression was much more joyful than her words. Originally, Wu Lingyu's marriage to Princess Donghou was not a big deal, and she could not be compared to her eldest nephew's only daughter. However, unexpectedly, Wu Lingyu came back to the door for three days after entering the third prince's mansion, and the third prince was still with her. This really made Qi Wenjuan overjoyed. As we all know, there was no worship ceremony when she entered the side room. Since the third prince could give Wu Lingyu such a great decent, it can be seen that he was quite satisfied and attached to this concubine. Then it was not impossible to settle down in the third prince's mansion in the future.
"Mr. Marquis, I like Ming Luan, the adopted daughter, very much." Min Liuyun snuggled peacefully next to Mu Tong, with the three young men and Rong Jin following closely. As for Qi Wenjuan's words, the people present did not catch any colds. They were not their biological concubine daughter. In the future, Qi Wenjuan could be said to be her legitimate mother who taught her well. If there was a mistake, it would be directly to separate the relationship, which was not difficult at all.
"Now that the marriage of the eldest son of the Qi family has come, the wife has to worry about handling the marriage between Jianping and Rong Jin." Mu Tong's words were even more jumping, as if she was looking forward to Rong Jin's daughter-in-law.
"That's not the case. When I see Mr. Mu San and Miss Rong, I think how good it is. I don't know if the marriage is held in the capital or the Mu Mansion in Muliang City? I heard that Miss Rong is loved by Empress Sun. By that day, I guess the glory will be even better than that of the Donghou's daughter today." Mo Lan's style of speaking is as always. In front of Qi Mingluan, Mo Lan's words will not always have a sense of superiority. The son of Min Liuyun, the vicious woman, married the pseudo-granddaughter of the vicious queen. This marriage Mo Lan suddenly felt that it was the most matching one in the world.
Rong Jin lowered his head and said nothing. Mo Lan's words were obviously compared to Princess Haiyan. Princess Haiyan was just marrying a legitimate son of the imperial merchant. But who didn't know that Donghou and Mrs. Donghou presented a whole street dowry, but Rong Jin was just the title of a royal grandson. But no matter how much she felt valued by Queen Sun, she would not have thought of having so many decent dowries. Moreover, after several contacts with Mu Jianping, Rong Jin would not expect Mu Jianping to give her many betrothal gifts.
To put it bluntly, except for the fact that the identity of both parties can be more decent, there is no marriage between her Rong Jin that is comparable to the marriage of a daughter-in-law of the Qi family today.
"There is no hurry to do this marriage. The wedding date has not been decided yet, but you have to prepare what you should prepare." Mu Tong said for a long time and then took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Qi Mingluan. "Little Mingluan, the adoptive father has never had a daughter, and he doesn't know what his daughter's family likes to play with. This is done by your edict mother. Please use it to play with it in your spare time."
"Thank you for your adoptive father, thank you for your adoptive mother." Qi Mingluan smiled and did not take it directly. Instead, Xiao Qiao behind her stepped forward and took it. This is her always rule, no one would think that it was anything. It would be different if it fell into Min Liuyun's eyes. Mu Tong's words had already made her feel a little shocked. Even if her feelings fell into Mu Tong, she couldn't reach Qi Mingluan's eyes? Qi Mingluan was just taking it by the maid around her. She was so arrogant.
"Although the Marquis and the Marquis's wife have never had a daughter, the daughter-in-law will soon be in. As the saying goes, the water splashed by a married daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law who marry can serve the filial piety and respect the Marquis and the Marquis's wife. I don't know that my Mingluan girl has been spoiled since childhood, and I don't know if she can be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future." Qi Wenjuan's interruption was okay, and this would offend both sides of the world as soon as she said this.
On the one hand, Min Liuyun decided that Qi Wenjuan would not be kind to her, but on the other hand, Qi Mingluan was not happy that her aunt compared her to the pseudo-Emperor's granddaughter Rong Jin.
"Hey, Mingluan is still young. I guess Brother Qi and his younger brother are reluctant to let Xiao Mingluan talk about marriage. Besides, Xiao Mingluan is so awesome that everyone who has seen her loves her is too late. Mrs. Wu is worried too much." Nothing can be more heart-wrenching than Mu Tong's words. A simple sentence can make Qi Wenjuan feel pain in her face. Who said that the water from her married daughter was splashed out by the water? Since it was splashed out by the water, the marriage of the Qi family's legitimate daughter has nothing to do with you, Mrs. Wu. Neither Qi Houru nor Xu said anything. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to say anything?
"It's getting late, and your health is not completely recovered. You'd better go back to the station to rest earlier. Since you like Ming Luan, your adopted daughter, you will have the chance to meet again in the future." Mu Tong turned to Min Liuyun and showed a tenderness to Mu Jianping, letting Mu Jianping support Min and leave first.
"Mingluan, that's the purse made by your righteous mother. You have to be careful not to break it. It's better to get a box and put it in a good way." Seeing Beihou walking far away, Qi Wenjuan said this to Qi Mingluan again. It was a sachet and a purse. As long as it was given by Min, Qi Wenjuan's first reaction was that there was something harmful to people inside. She said this on purpose, hoping to remind Xiao Mingluan, who is still young and doesn't know anything, pay attention to it. The farther away from this purse, the better.
Mo Lan understood what Qi Wenjuan meant, because she was afraid that there would be something like musk in her purse, but Mo Lan was not worried. After all, Xiao Mingluan was very familiar with various herbs and spices. If he had any problems with the purse, he would have smelled it.
"Auntie, this purse is actually the only thing left of the adopted mother's heart." Qi Mingluan forced herself to hold back the corner of her eyes that was about to be thrown over. There was only a broken purse. Xiao Qiao's skills are ten times better. Is it worth hiding? I wonder if the toys that the princess has played with since childhood are made of jade? When will she play with such petty things like ordinary ladies? "It's getting late. Auntie, Wu Yitai is so sleepy, so she should go home early to rest."
After finally seeing Qi Wenjuan away, the guests in Qi's mansion were already dispersed. The mess in the wedding banquet hall was cleaned up by his servants. Qi Mingluan just wanted to go and see how Xu's family was. Because his elder brother insisted on taking Hai Yan away from the mansion for three days, his mother felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"My aunt seems to have a strange attitude towards Min, and it seems that she has really recognized Min's identity." Do those adults really think that she is a second-generation prodigal who only knows how to count gold? The shots and beats of the left in your words are too obvious. Oh, you adults are really tired.
