green bamboo dream

Because it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, most of the three letters and six ceremonies were just a scene, and everything from Na Cai to Na Ji was quickly completed. 【26nbsp;】Isn't that so?The emperor's finger marriage, how could someone say something about being unworthy.

Gradually, the people in Beijing also heard the news. Recently, this marriage is the most talked about in the streets and alleys. Because the emperor has been in poor health in recent years, he has not mentioned marriage for many years. When the news came out, the capital was full The people here are a little excited. Watching a grand wedding is a very dignified thing, and it is something that can be shown off to distant relatives from home and future grandchildren.Therefore, when Cheng Guogong's mansion came to hire, the road from Cheng Guogong's mansion to Li Ge old alley was actually blocked by a crowd of spectators, as if only the fourth and fifth princes got married a few years ago. Only then is it so lively.

The betrothal gifts tied with festive red silk were slowly passed through the street. Just looking at the quantity is already staggering, not to mention the weight that even the strong porter bent slightly. The common people really turned their heads, and they praised her, envious of the good fortune of the daughter of the Lin family. The betrothal gift represents how much the husband's family attaches importance to it. Such a large amount of betrothal gift is really rare.

After receiving the betrothal gift, he was carried all the way into the German Garden, and a steward in a bright suit who had followed him earlier handed over the letter of ceremony. Cui looked at the boxes and boxes full of yards, feeling a little satisfied in her heart, after all, it meant that the man recognized and Thanks to the woman's parents for their kindness in nurturing their daughter, and it seems that it is not perfunctory, it really took a lot of thought.At the front are two plates full of gold bars for dowry, about a thousand taels. The fabrics include 88 pieces of Yunyanlong green yarn in summer, 88 pieces of Shu brocade and brocade in winter, silk satin and colorful satin carved in python in various colors. One hundred and eight pieces of cloth, silk, wool, etc., eight symbolic satin quilts, and then there are 38 pairs of red gold dragon and phoenix auspicious bracelets, 38 pairs of red gold dragon and phoenix hairpins, and eighteen boxes of precious stones and jade. The golden light under the head is dazzling, and the dizzy courtyard is full of brilliance.The rest followed the rules, a load of reunion cakes with the bright red "囍" printed on it, and eighteen boxes of fine tea purchased from the origin of tribute tea.Among the eight types of seafood, the hair vegetables are black and soft, and there are many valuable seafood such as abalone, dried oysters, Chinese yuan scallops, mushrooms, dried shrimps, sea cucumbers, shark fins, and fish maws.Two pairs of live chickens, two males and two females, have shiny feathers and are full of energy. They compete with a pair of croaking geese hanging their throats; pork and dace are combined into a load, and a rich and fragrant 30-year-old Jinhua wine is served .The mahogany post box is filled with auspicious lotus seeds, lilies, cypresses, dried longan, dried lychees, dried walnuts, red dates, sesame seeds, peanuts with shells, orange cakes, wax gourd candies and golden beetroot.As for other whole geese and double ducks, leg of lamb, pork knuckle, various pastries and dried fruits, there are countless.

Fan Shi, who came to watch the fun and put on makeup, said to Cui Shi with a smile on his face: "It's good to have a daughter, look at the things in the yard, alas, I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen such a gift. If you pay more dowry, I won't be as lucky as you."

Cui was not at all interested in dealing with Fan, and was busy greeting all the female relatives who came to add makeup.

Yuzhu's eldest aunt, Gao Shi, glanced at Fan Shi with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "Why are you unlucky, don't forget that your daughter is the concubine of the prince, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to ruin your luck. "My niece's happy life was not spoiled by her gossiping.

When she hit a snag, Fan was a little embarrassed, she never thought of Hongdou as a daughter in her heart, so she lost face for a moment and didn't pay attention to her mouth.Let Pinxiang take a shining golden silk jeweled butterfly hairpin with beads and put it on the plate, and he naturally started talking to Mrs. Huang around him.

Mrs. Gao looked at Mrs. Fan coldly, joking as if nothing had happened, and didn't bother to talk to her, so she pulled Mrs. Cui over and said, "Look at the Cheng family's betrothal gift, you should treat it as a snack to save the bamboo girl." The girl can't straighten her back at her husband's house."

Cui took Gao's arm with a smile, and said with a smile: "Why is my sister-in-law still worried about me? Most of these things have to go with Zhu girl, so I don't want to stay at home. No one will get angry." Seeing Gao's expression of deep approval, he continued, "But when it comes to the dowry, I would like to ask my sister-in-law for help."

"What's the matter? Tell me, the old lady is not in good spirits. You just sent me to supervise because you are worried. I will definitely help if I can." up.

Cui smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. I started saving Bamboo Girl's dowry right after she was born. It's been a year, no matter how trivial it is, everything is complete. There are some problems with the large pieces of furniture. I will measure the size of the new house immediately after the collection. I have saved a lot of good wood, but there are still [-] days to go, craftsman It is enough, but I am afraid that they are rushing to do it, and the things they make are not fine, so I asked my sister-in-law to recommend some more good carpenters."

"It's worth talking about it for so long. Don't worry. My natal family has specially raised a group of craftsmen, all of whom are outstanding in craftsmanship and possess unique skills. They made the dowry for me, my natal sisters and nieces." , That's really good, I'll go back to my mother's house and say something later, the nieces at home got married the year before last, so I have plenty of time, and I can keep them in time." Gao shook off the veil, and almost made a promise.

Mrs. Cui received the expected answer, thanked her with a smile, and then discussed the subtle points of the wedding. Although Mrs. Cui has the ability to make the marriage affairs beautiful, it is related to the most beloved daughter-in-law. Keep improving.The eldest sister-in-law is married to two daughters-in-law, Meiyu and Xueyu, so she always has some insights from experience.

At this time, a well-dressed daughter-in-law came over and said with a smile: "Second Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Tan, and young mistresses are here."

When Cui heard this, she accused Gao of a crime and rushed to meet him.

"But you should be punished. Why did you come here at this moment? Adding makeup to our bamboo girl will make you feel bad." First, the wives of the Tan family were greeted and sat down to drink tea before Cui turned around. Laughing and teasing friends.

Mrs. Bai greeted a few familiar wives who came here first, cast a glance at Cui who was happy at the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Your family is much richer than mine, so you have the nerve to rob me."

Mrs. Cui knew that the Xu family did not have a separate family, so life was naturally not so free, and she didn't get entangled, so she took the grandma of the Tan family to look up and down, and said with a smile: "Ruqing looks good, your eyes are finally good for once. , the son-in-law finally picked a good one."

Ruqing, now she is Grandma Tan, her temperament has not changed much from before she got married, she smiled and let Cui Shi pull her, and briefly explained a few words about the life after marriage, after all, Cui Shi was also equivalent to After saving her life, she was always closer than before.After exchanging pleasantries, he asked, "Where is Yu Zhu, I'll talk to her."

"In her yard, I just let her huddle in the house, anyway, I don't have a few days of comfort." Seeing the people close to her, Cui spoke a lot more casually, and smiled at Ruqing: "Good boy , you can talk to her, I'm afraid she'll get bored if you stay in the house all day."

Seeing more and more people standing around, Mrs. Bai hurriedly dismissed her daughter, then turned to Cui and said, "I don't need you to greet me, hurry to the front, so many people are here, how can you be so rude as a master. "

Mrs. Cui was not too polite, the two daughters-in-law really couldn't cope with such a big scene, so they recruited the little maid at the side and told them to take good care of her, then walked away to greet relatives, friends and family members.

……

Entering Yuzhu's Youzhu residence like a familiar person, Qinsi who was feeding mynah under the eaves hastily put down the plate in her hand, approached and saluted: "Grandma Tan is here." She smiled and led her in.

Over the years, Yuzhu and Ruqing have been in close contact. Anyway, they live close by, and they can be there just around the corner when they go out. Yuzhu doesn't like to go out, so Ruqing often comes to sit and sit.The two often toss about in Yuzhu’s small kitchen with the food list provided by Ruan’s mother. Ruqing doesn’t have a small kitchen in her own home, so every time she comes, she has to have a good time before giving up. Use tools to cover up the traces of committing crimes, so as not to be talked about by the old lady of the Xu family when I go home.Such days did not end until Ruqing got married. Although the days were not long, the relationship between the two had grown rapidly.

"Grandma Tan, why are you here now?" Yu Zhu didn't bother to get up, pointed to the chair next to her, and continued to feed Xiao Xun.

"Hmph, you're going to become the second wife of the Cheng family in ten days or so..." Ru Qing spoke quickly, but then quickly remedied: "You've taken advantage of it, you'll be a wife if you marry, save money like ours Kindly, there are elders everywhere when you enter the door, and you bow down everywhere you go." While carefully sizing up Yu Zhu's expression.

"Don't worry about my feeling bad." Yuzhu finished feeding a piece of snacks, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, washed in a basin of warm water brought by Hua Ruo, and let Zaoyuan take the cotton handkerchief Absorb the water, apply a thin layer of almond oil, and said with a smile: "I'm the laziest, so don't think about it. By the way, you just came from your mother, tell me, the betrothal gift from the Cheng family What's the situation?" Although she didn't live by those dowry gifts, and she must have done a lot of hard work under the emperor's grace, she was still a little curious.In the past, Yumei was a flash marriage, and I didn’t see it at all; Hongdou was an imperial wedding, which was different from ordinary ones; Yulan was basically a naked marriage, Cui’s face project was done well, and Yongchanghoufu’s face project seemed to be done even better ;The wedding of the two cousins ​​was only given gifts, because at that time they were busy with the marriage of the second brother Lin Zongji; the only normal marriage of sister Ruqing was not able to go to the front to see it, because all the ladies who went to congratulate were reserved Staying in the house drinking tea and talking, I can't just run into a bunch of wives by myself... It's my turn, and I'm still a little nervous...

Ruqing burst out laughing, took a sip of tea, touched the short nose of Xiaoxun who ran up to her, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't look carefully, but I can see the yard It’s so full that it’s dazzling at a glance, so I can’t go wrong with it.”

It really couldn't be wrong, Yuzhu slipped into Cui's courtyard at night, and when he saw the betrothal gifts piled up all over the room, he also jumped up and down for a while.Although she has been pampered by Cui Shi, but Qing Gao is not at all, seeing so many gold jewels and emerald jade, she still couldn't help swallowing hard.

This is good, she trusts money more than people. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
