The old man was silent.
“You have a family, so it’s not good for me to keep you.”
This meant that Heng Yi was unwilling to receive him.
The old man was furious.
Where did this fool come from? Don’t you know who he is?
If he didn’t stay today, he wouldn’t come even if he begged him another day.
He stood up, snorted at Heng Yi, and left.
Heng Yi was baffled.
He didn’t chase after the old man and only asked Bai Cha to send him off.
Zhang Huiguang pursed his lips and hid the gloating look in his eyes.
He was jealous of Heng Yi.
He had followed Emperor Zhao Qian for many years, but he was only a third-grade official.
How long has Heng Yi been here? Yet he was already the first-rank Marquis of Wanning.
The emperor was biased.
Heng Yi didn’t think too much about it. After sitting down, the atmosphere was very harmonious with Master Feng around.
This wedding banquet was naturally a feast for both the host and guests.
After the meal, they had to send the guests off, so Heng Yi and Bai Cha could only eat a few mouthfuls.
Some of them wanted to return home, so Bai Cha and Heng Yi saw them off at the door.
He also had to say some polite words. If they met again in the future, it would be for the sake of face.
The few salt merchants talked to Heng Yi the longest.
“Marquis, if you want to buy salt, come and find me.”
“Definitely.”
The rice seller naturally said the same thing.
Even those who owned horse farms chatted with Heng Yi for a while.
The news of Heng Yi’s recruitment had been sent to all the state capitals, and many people were ready to make a move.
Especially when they have so many boys at home.
Because they could get five taels of silver if they joined the army.
Moreover, there was a fixed amount of pay, food, clothes, shoes, and socks every month.
They were still choosing a location for now.
Once the location was set, they would start recruiting soldiers.
Of course, there was also the matter of Han Chi’s wedding. He was too busy now.
Heng Yi wanted to bring Han Qiao and the children along with him. He didn’t want to be too far away from them.
Han Qiao also began to send the guests off.
Especially the people from the Gong Prince’s residence, they had to personally send a carriage back.
Li Zhao was not in a hurry to leave.
He was still talking with Han Chi at the side.
“You want to join the military camp?” Han Chi asked.
“Yes, I heard that the first batch will start from the small soldiers and choose the captain half a month later.”
Li Zhao looked at Han Chi, “Are you going too?”
Han Chi thought for a moment, “I’ll think about it.”
He wanted to go, but he didn’t want to.
If he went to the military camp, he would not be able to study hard.
“From what I heard from Marquis Heng, there will be people in the military camp who will teach you how to read and write, as well as medical skills.
Ah-Chi, you should consider it.”
“Yes.”
Han Chi nodded.
When the guests were almost all sent off and the people who sent off the bride were sent back, Han Qiao sat on the chair and took a deep breath.
“Finally, it’s finally done.”
Madam Feng sat at her side and asked a servant girl to fan her vigorously.
She felt very hot.
She smiled and said to Han Qiao, “You still have three daughters and two sons.”
Han Qiao was stunned for a moment before she smiled, “I also have a daughter-in-law.”
“You’re the one who calculated it well.”
With a daughter-in-law, she could support herself.
Feng Xinru also laughed.
She hesitated and decided not to say that she wanted to give her son Sun Xiu.
Moreover, if the princess consort was not in a hurry to marry off her daughter, Han Qiao would not have let Han Chi get married so early.
It was not easy to be a mother these days.
It was not easy to be a mother-in-law, especially when your daughter-in-law came from an extraordinary background.
When most of the guests had been sent away, the tables and benches could not be returned for the time being because there was still dinner. After dinner, they would have to make a fuss about the bridal chamber.
There was also the need to register the congratulatory gifts sent by the other families.
Han Qiao had a lot of work to do.
“The bride?”
“Madam, don’t worry. The young ladies are over there.”
Han Qiao nodded, relieved.
She asked Madam Feng and Feng Xinru to rest for a while, and she went to take a nap as well.
She had just laid down when He Cheng came in crying.
“Mother!” The child sobbed.
“What’s wrong?” Han Qiao stood up.
He Cheng showed Han Qiao his hand, “It’s bleeding!”
