Chapter 363 (1/2)
After Tian Yuqiao came back from Tianshui City, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and that day happened to be a good day for Wang Xiuer to get married. Because she came back late, she didn't catch up with the wedding.
However, at her insistence, she still let Wang take her to the county town.
Chen Jiabao drove the donkey cart fast because their carriage had been used to send off their relatives. After running for two hours, he entered the county yamen. At this time, Zhao and Wang's two brothers and sister-in-law had already come, but Wang was worried that her daughter would not come back, so she insisted on waiting for her daughter at home and didn't follow her to see her off. The little guy insisted on staying at home with his mother. Filial piety didn't make people say much.
Seeing the Wang family coming in order, the Yamen servants who helped meet the guests at the door of the county yamen greeted each other with smiling faces.
”Oh, Mrs. Wang, miss qiao'er, young master Yutang, please come inside quickly. Just before the banquet starts, our county magistrate will be very happy to see you.” Feng Wu warmly greeted.
After two polite words with him, Wang took people in.
This time, Gongsun Changyin chose to marry in the back yamen of yamen, because his house has not been officially arranged. According to the truth, he should have lived in the house of the former county magistrate. After all, his predecessor is a criminal official, and his family property has been confiscated. But now it's not time for Kaikong to make an inventory of his family property, so it will take some time for Gongsun Changyin to move in.
Although the back house in the Yamen is not large, it is only a place for officials to rest temporarily. But at least there is a separate yard. It won't be any harm for Wang Xiuer to come and live temporarily.
Everyone knew about Gongsun Changyin, so they didn't say much. Instead, the county magistrate warmly helped to greet other officials from the county. The master was responsible for receiving the local squires. Everyone performed their respective duties. This wedding was done with dignity.
Because the Wang family are all mother's family, although they all want to help this time, Gongsun Changyin refused to let everyone do anything. This made Zhao very satisfied with his son-in-law as an official, and his smile remained on his face all the time.
”Oh, Joe, I knew you could come back today. We'll wait for you.” Zhao said with a smile.
”Hehe, it's important for my aunt to get married. I also studied with my master on the mountain, so I forgot the time for a moment. I didn't suddenly remember it, so I hurried down the mountain.”
Everyone didn't doubt what Tian Yuqiao said, so they all laughed and talked about other things.
The family of Gongsun Changyin is very simple, so to put it bluntly, Zhao is equivalent to finding an elderly care son-in-law. In fact, Gongsun Changyin also has this idea. After all, he has no relatives. It's good to take Zhao over and live together. It can also make her have a company with Xiuer.
Although he is now the county magistrate, he has no servants at home because he is short of money. It's also very boring to work in the Yamen and let Xiuer be behind alone.
When Zhao learned what his son-in-law wanted, he said, ”Changyin, I know what you want. But now you are all staying in the Yamen. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for my mother to follow. Why not? When you have your own house in the future, my mother will come to visit.”
At this time, Tian Yuqiao and Wang Cuicui accompanied Wang Xiuer. They sat on the carved arhat bed, shaking their little feet while eating longans and jujubes placed in the room.
”Aunt, you should eat some of this dessert first. It's very troublesome to get married and have to toss very late.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
