Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 146 Makeup
A good handwriting steward in the mansion will write the dowry list in triplicate.The Jiang family kept a copy, Jiang Yi cherished a copy, and will send a copy to the Yamen for archiving.

The dowry totaled 120 eight lifts, several shops in Tiandi Zhuangzi, plus 1000 taels of silver in a box.

Jiang Yixi didn't like the amount of silver in the box.I used to talk to Huahua, wanting to reduce 1000 taels, or add 1000 taels, which is auspicious.

Huahua said, "Little couples in modern society like two ones, because they have one heart and one mind."

Jiang Yixi didn't add it after listening.

Looking at the thick dowry list, the old lady smiled happily. The daughter of Jiang's family married ten miles of red makeup, which is considered good in the capital, and she has a lot of face.There is still some heartache in my heart, so many things have been moved to another house.

Not to mention that Jiang Yiyan and Grandma Jiang were jealous, even the heart of the third lady trembled.For the other daughters of the Jiang family, the dowry will not exceed a half of these.

Busy and tense, the days came to June 25th, and today Jiang's mansion is going to Meng's mansion to have a bed.

The time to make furniture is short, even if many craftsmen are hired, the workmanship cannot be too delicate and complicated.The wood prepared by Jiang's family was nanmu, and later Meng Cimo gave some huanghuali in private, and the finished product could only be said to be passable.

Fortunately, these things were delivered in advance, and it did not affect the style of the Jiang family marrying their daughter Shili Hongzhuang.

Jiang Xun took another day off, and together with Jiang Jin took someone to the Meng Mansion to lay down a bed.Ever since Jiang Jin found a job, he was more attentive to Jiang Yixi than before, and Grandma Jiang was also much more enthusiastic.

After that, relatives and friends came to add makeup one after another.

26 This morning, Mrs. Zheng Xie brought two sisters, Zheng Tingting and Zheng Jingjing, to Jiang's house to add makeup to Jiang Yixi.

Mrs. Jiang was escorted out of the Ruyi hall by the third wife.

The few people sat down politely, Xie smiled and said, "Second girl Jiang is gentle and lovable. Not only my family Tingting and Jingjing play well with her, but the eldest princess and I also like her very much. She is going to get married, Mrs. The eldest princess and I will add makeup to her..."

In the past month, Madam Xia from the Grand Princess's Mansion in Yichang has visited Jiang Mansion twice, both times to ask for soup.She said that after the princess drank Jiang Yixi's tonic soup, her health was much better.Jiang Yixi cooks it very wholeheartedly, and then gives them soup and cans.

To add make-up, I had to go to someone's yard to add makeup, so the old lady, the third wife, and the eldest grandma accompanied the mother and daughter of the Zheng family to the Burning Courtyard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they were still warmly welcomed by Jiujiu.

The first ones to come in were Mrs. Xie and the old lady.

Not a beauty, Jiujiu called out, "Eat meat, get needles."

Then Sister Zheng Tingting and a few girls came in, and Jiujiu shouted again, "Hua'er, Hua'er, there is a beauty in the north..."

Mrs. Xie had already heard about the beauty of Jiujiu, and said with a laugh, "This little thing still recognizes people, we get needles when we come in, and the little lady calls Hua'er when she comes in."

It made everyone happy.

Jiang Yixi personally served tea to several elders.

Zheng Jingjing asked anxiously again, "Second Sister Jiang, where is Huahua?"

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I went to play in the mountains."

A few days ago, Huahua made a fuss about going into the mountains to play.Jiang Yixi thought that after marrying into the Meng family, she would spend a lot of time, and it would be difficult for the little things to go out, so she let it go.Before it left, it still took off the anti-fragrance beads. The anti-fragrance beads will cover Huahua's "fairy energy", and if it wears small things, it will be easily attacked by wild animals.

Master Yuhe said that Xuan Diao would not come here for at least this year, so he would feel more at ease about the little thing going out to play this year.

Usually when the guests came, they would first tease Jiujiu in the porch for a while, but today when the guests entered the room directly, Jiujiu felt that he had been slighted.

Started cursing, "Go away, bad guy, bad guy, go home, serve you with army sticks..."

It made everyone laugh again.

Xie shi laughed and opened his mouth wide in surprise, then quickly covered his mouth and said, "This voice, this voice..."

Zheng Tingting smiled and said, "Mom, I also think this voice is familiar, who does it sound like?"

Xie smiled and shook his head, "It's a bit familiar, and I can't remember who it looks like."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Grandfather Meng gave it to me, saying that an old subordinate honored him."

Xie understood.That's the way it is, no wonder...

A few girls brought in some brocade boxes, and a few women brought in some boxes.

Let's add makeup to the eldest princess first, which is a red gold plate chi and seven treasures wreath.

Xie’s makeup includes two sets of scarlet gold inlaid heads, one red coral ornament, one red sandalwood frame with Suzhou embroidery and double-sided embroidered kang screen, a set of multicolored porcelain tea sets, and four horses of makeup flowers.

Zheng Tingting's makeup is a string of red coral bracelets, and Zheng Jingjing's makeup is two beautiful handkerchiefs.

These things are top-grade, at least worth more than 1000 taels of silver.

Jiang Yixi blushed and thanked her.

The old lady understood that the affectionate Zheng family thanked Jiang Yixi alone.Her face was flushed with anger, and she didn't dare to show it, so she quickly picked up the tea bowl and pretended to drink tea to cover up her embarrassment.

After Xie's mother and daughter left, the old lady's face darkened.He didn't go back to Ruyi Hall either, but sat in the hall of Burning Courtyard and sulked.

Jiang Yixi hated the old lady's greed for money, but she didn't want to make her unhappy before she got married.No matter how unbearable this natal family is, they can't tear their faces apart now.In fact, the Fu family will be more difficult to face in the future, and when it is time for her mother's family to step forward, they must be allowed to step forward.What's more, Jiang Xun will continue to live here, and his marriage...

Jiang Yixi had already thought of this.

She smiled and said, "I heard from Brother Gui that a southern businessman who likes flowers came to Tonglin County a few days ago, and I asked him to sell a pot of triangular flowers and two pots of rare orchids to the businessman. 800 taels of silver.

"My younger brother and I lost our mother when we were young, and we lost our father a few years ago, so we were taken care of by my grandmother. The granddaughter couldn't repay her, so someone bought a ginseng, a sapphire landscape screen, and a set of official kiln powder porcelain tea sets to give to my grandmother. .”

Several servants took out the things.The ginseng was bought a few days ago, and the sapphire screen and powder porcelain tea set were gifts from Meng Cimo and Li Zhenbao who cured their eyes last year.In addition, I kept two of the makeup flowers that Mrs. Zheng had given me.

The old lady Fang smiled, took Jiang Yixi's hand and said, "Grandmother has always known that you are a good and filial child. Alas, you and Xun'er are also pitiful. Grandmother has always cared about you..."

The irony Jiang Yixi said, the old lady had the nerve to say it along.

In order to show her love and reluctance for Jiang Yixi, the old lady ate dinner in Zhuoyuan that night, and Jiang Yixi asked to invite the third wife and grandma.

Jiang Xun came back before dinner.He took four days off, from tomorrow to the day Jiang Yixi returned home.

It was only at the beginning of Xushi that the people were sent away, and the burning courtyard finally became quiet.

Jiang Yixi was calm on the surface, but her heart was about to die of anxiety.

In the next afternoon, she felt that the water vapor outside the light pearl was getting thicker and thicker. It was Huahua crying, and she was crying very sadly.
