C84 (2/2)

As soon as Madam Qi entered, Madame Zhong's carriage came to a halt.

The President of the Ministry of Justice, Zhong Ruiyang, was Jiang Chuanzhong's direct superior. When Jiang Chuanzhong had just taken office, the Qin had even paid a visit to Madame Zhong.

It was just that at that time, Madam Zhong had only treated her neither warmly nor cold. Since Qin Guan had no interest in her, he had never gone there a second time.

”Aiyo, the sky is still so hot!” As soon as Madam Zhong got off the carriage, she smiled and said to née Qin as if they were close friends who had known each other for many years, ”I wanted to come and take a look a long time ago, but I just couldn't find the time.”

Thinking of her previous indifference, although née Qin was not happy, she could only smile and invite people into the courtyard.

Following that, Lady Lin of the Minister of Revenue and Madame Gao of the Supreme Court arrived one after another. The usually deserted courtyard immediately became lively.

After all, this was the first time they were entertaining guests at home, and the guests they received were all the famous madams and mistresses in the capital. Afraid that something would happen to them, the Qin family cautiously ordered people to clean out the east wing of the Jun Yating Hall and set up a awning in the courtyard.

Madam Qiao, Madam Zhong, Madam Lin, and the rest were sitting in the east wing room, eating fruits that had been frozen in ice. Although the Qin family had arranged for the little girl to fan them, it still made them feel suffocated.

”Why did the Venerate Heavens Sect choose such a day?” There was a lady complaining.

”Don't you know?” Some people started gossiping about how the Crown Prince Jin had taken his wife.

”Ah?” So the rumors were true? ” Some people began to exclaim in admiration.

Some of them started to gloat, ”I say, how can you be so lucky with your daughter!”

Madam Qi was listening by the side, and since she was also a member of the Jiang family, she didn't say much. However, she didn't want to offend these madams for that Qin woman she didn't like, so she found an excuse to find Miss Yan and leave the east wing.

However, Jiang Yan and Qian Shu weren't in the courtyard either. She guessed that the two of them must have gone to find Jiang Wan.

When it was about the end of the morning, there was a burst of firecrackers outside Hu Tong's mouth.

Someone shouted all the way over: ”Coming, coming, Nudge's coming.”

Jiang Chuanzhong, who was waiting for his guest at home in his official uniform, rushed out of his study and personally went to the door to greet him. From afar, he heard someone congratulating him. ”Congratulations, Sir Jiang!”

Jiang Chuanzhong raised his head to look and saw Huang Tong, the Vice Minister of Rites, walking towards them with a group of men in tow, beating the gongs and beating the drums.

Therefore, Jiang Chuanzhong also hurried over to welcome him. He cupped his hands and said, ”Lord Wen, thank you for your hard work.”

The two of them were officials of the Six Paths, so they usually did not meet.

Huang Tong and Jiang Chuanzhong exchanged some pleasantries before the servants carried Najili through the gates of the Jiang manor.

Jiang Wan's wedding was bestowed by the royal family, and was handled by the ceremonial department. This Naji ceremony was actually equivalent to the royal family's reward, only, part of the reward was given to Jiang Chuanzhong and the Qin, and the other part was given to Jiang Wan. It was the equivalent of her dowry.

Jiang Chuanzhong led Brother Sheng to the outer courtyard. The Qin family led their family's female servants to the inner courtyard. They knelt down and kowtowed nine times in the direction of the imperial palace.

Then the Najiri were carried into the main room of Junya Hall to be displayed as a token of the emperor's generosity.

There were three golden hairpins of different sizes, three golden earrings with pearls embedded in them, two golden earrings with gold bracelets, two golden bracelets with gold and silver buttons, about one hundred gold collars holding eastern pearls, and dozens of mink, rex, fox skins, one hundred silks, three hundred kilograms of cotton, silver bowls and silver pots for the dining room, the teahouse, the tea house, and so on.

The group of ladies and gentlemen, who were used to seeing rich and powerful people, were all amazed.
