After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

Chuan'er and Cai'er walked at the end, and in front of them were Guo Mama and Kong Mama who brought them here. Today was the day when the Huainan Marquis's Mansion came to the Shenjun Prince's Mansion to prepare the room, which was also the first day of the wedding when the bride's family brought people to decorate the new room, hang curtains and spread quilts.

Of course, this is just a formality, and everything is ready.

The people who came from the Meng family were Meng Wei’s wife Zhang and Meng Xiu, as well as the clan leader’s grandson, a teenage boy who served as a “dominant house”.

In fact, Brother Lang was the most suitable person to be the "householder", but Jiang had already spread the word that Brother Lang was in poor health recently and could not go anywhere.

Originally, Wang had not wanted Jiang's two sons to go. Ever since Meng Qi returned home, Wang and Jiang seemed to have fallen out and only maintained a superficial relationship. In private, Jiang's visit to Shanzhitang to pay his respects was more like completing a job.

Meng Shao went there at first, but after a while he went less frequently, complaining that Wang had said something to Meng Qi. This made Meng Wei jump up and want to talk to his brother.

Meng Wei's son was still young, and Wang Shi disdained to use the children of the other two houses, so she found the grandson of the clan leader. The clan leader's wife was very happy and dressed her grandson up nicely, and brought him into the Prince's Mansion with Zhang Shi and others in auspicious clothes.

After Chuan'er took the carriage and changed the bridge, he finally got off the sedan at the second gate. Looking at the three large and flamboyantly written characters "Qinghe Garden" on the hanging flower gate, he took a deep breath and walked in with everyone.

Standing at the second gate to greet them was a woman in her forties with her hair in a bun, neatly combed behind her head, and a red gold hairpin pinned to her head.

Although he was smiling, he did not give people a sense of warmth, but rather a strong sense of alienation. With a deep frown between his brows, it was obvious that he was a worried and anxious person on a daily basis.

"I'm Madam Fan from the Second Young Master's room." The woman bowed and introduced herself.

Chuan'er understood that Mama Fan was Zhou Yu's wet nurse and also the maid who came with the previous princess, Princess Wang.

Mother Guo stepped forward with a smile, "I am Mother Guo who works for the Crown Prince's wife, and this is Mother Kong who works for the Second Miss."

The three of them greeted each other. Mother Fan looked at Mother Kong for a long time, then looked at Chuan'er and Cai'er beside her. After knowing that these two were the first- and second-class maids of the future Second Young Madam, she looked them up and down several times.

Chuan'er knew very well that the reason why Mother Fan could stay here despite the complicated situation in the palace and become one of the few people left by the former princess was partly because of her love for Zhou Yu, but it was probably also directly related to her own abilities.

There was a maid standing at a certain distance on both sides. When Chuan'er glanced at them from the corner of his eye, he could only see the hems of their dark red silk trousers.

Finally, I stepped onto the stone steps leading to the upper house. I looked up and saw two beautiful maids standing at the door of the main house. They were dressed more gorgeously than the girls of ordinary families. Although their hair was not covered with pearls and jade, they were still quite good.

When the two saw Mother Fan coming over with a few people, they knelt down and saluted. The one on the right, wearing an apricot-red double-breasted blouse with big eyes, reached out her hand to support Mother Fan and said sweetly, "Mother Hong just left because the princess had some things that needed to be finalized."

The second young master's wet nurse, Madam Fan, had a slight smile on her face when she greeted Madam Guo and Madam Kong while picking them up from the car. But she had a sullen face the whole way. It's not that she was being rude, but she had a blank expression on her face, which made people feel that she was unapproachable. Moreover, she didn't say a single polite word along the way.

Madam Fan nodded to the big-eyed girl, and the one on the left stepped forward and bowed to Madam Guo, saying, "I am Lvliu, her name is Chuntao, we are the head maidservants of the Second Young Master, and I am glad to meet the two madams and all the sisters."

Mother Guo smiled slightly, pointed at Chuan'er and Cai'er who were following her and introduced them one by one. After everyone greeted each other, they entered the bridal chamber.

The new house has three rooms, the middle is the main hall, the right is the inner room, and the left is the banquet room. The group went straight to the inner room. The inner room is divided into three small rooms. The bedroom is opposite, and there is an ear room on each side. The right one is used for washing, and the left one is a row of treasure cabinets and cabinets for daily necessities.

Chuan'er and Cai'er stood by the door without moving. Madam Fan turned around and said to Madam Guo, "Since Madam Hong beside the princess has something to do, we won't wait any longer. It would be bad to miss the auspicious time. Then I'll have to trouble you all. I'm sure everyone knows how to lay out the plan. Once this is done, we can invite the master of your house over and let Quanfu take care of the work of setting up the house."

Mother Guo smiled and nodded. Chuan'er and Cai'er deftly placed Meng Wan's frequently used items symbolically on the dressing table, and after making a quilt, they stood behind Mother Guo.

Only then did Mrs. Fan's frown relax a little. She turned around and told the woman named Chuntao to go and invite Zhang and the others over.

But before Zhang, Meng Xiu and the others arrived, another person came.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sister Guo. I've been waiting here since early in the morning, but I didn't expect to be called over by the princess when the time came. Some details for tomorrow need to be finalized again, and our princess is worried that there is something I haven't done well."

Following the voice came a slightly plump woman in her forties, with a round face and extremely gorgeous clothes. If she hadn't called "Sister Guo Mama", Chuan'er would have almost thought she was one of the masters of the Shenjunwang Mansion.

"Sister Hong, you're welcome. What does it matter if we wait? The wedding tomorrow is more important. Sister Hong is the most capable person around the princess, and the princess can't leave her for a moment." Mother Guo greeted the person who came in, and the two of them greeted each other and said politely.

It turns out that this person is Mama Hong, the housekeeper around the princess. She is indeed very good at dealing with people.

"That's okay. I have the eldest young master's marriage experience before me. Just tell me everything. I'll hurry over here. Can we start?" The last sentence was said to Mother Fan.

"Don't worry, Sister Hong. It has already started. Chuntao will go to invite the grandmother and the young lady from the in-laws' family." Mother Fan still had a blank expression on her face towards Mother Hong. Mother Hong didn't care either. She stood there and chatted with Mother Guo and Mother Kong. All of them were about how their princess had worked so hard for Zhou Yu's marriage.

After a while, Zhou family's eldest grandmother, Mrs. Xie, and the two young ladies of the Zhou family led Zhang and Meng Xiu into the gate of Qinghe Garden.

Everyone hurried out to greet them, and for a while there was a lot of chatter and laughter. With the matchmaker singing, Zhang and Meng Xiu completed the procedure of preparing the room. Lastly, the grandson of the clan leader dressed in festive clothes and sat on all the chairs and stools in the room, which was equivalent to "taking over the room".

A group of people walked out of the bridal chamber, with Mother Fan walking at the end and closing the door. There were two maids standing at the door. The maids were to take turns standing at the door of the bridal chamber all night and no one else was allowed to enter. The newlyweds could only enter the bridal chamber after the newlyweds were welcomed back to the hall tomorrow.

"Well, now we just have to wait for my sister-in-law to come home." Xie held Zhang's hand and said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to this day. I have to take some work off my shoulders."

"My sister doesn't know these things at all. You, as her sister-in-law, need to teach her more." Zhang said gently.

"But I heard from the two maids who came back that my second sister-in-law is very smart and can learn anything once she is taught." Zhou Yingning tilted her head with a half-smile.

Zhang was unhappy at heart. Although Meng Wan studied very hard under the instruction of the two maids sent by the Zhou family, he could never master the knowledge well, which caused the two maids to complain all the time. Their words were all about whether he grew up in a mansion and it was difficult for him to learn anything, and his willingness to learn was useless.

When Zhou Yingning mentioned this at this time, it was inevitable that people would think more of ridicule.

"She is just very honest. If others learn something once, she will learn it five times. I don't know if she is good or not, but she is really hardworking."

As they talked, they arrived at the courtyard gate and watched Zhang and Meng Xiu get into the sedan chair. Mother Guo whispered a few words to Cai'er, and Chuan'er nodded at Mother Guo. Mother Guo followed them out with a serious look on her face.

Mother Kong patted Chuan'er's hand and followed him. She had to follow Meng Wan's wedding procession tomorrow.
