green bamboo dream

On the day before the wedding, it was the dowry and the bed. Early in the morning, Mrs. Du led a mighty group of servants to Cheng Guogong's mansion to deliver the dowry. There were countless people watching the excitement on the way. The dowry was carried out from the German garden, and it looked like a winding red silk embroidered with gold thread from a distance. 【26nbsp;】

The first to be carried were the two jade ruyis given by Concubine An Gui. The pure white and warm suet jade was placed in bright red silk with a faint halo. It was extremely white and moist to the extreme. Just looking at it seemed I can feel the fresh and moist texture, which arouses everyone's amazement.

Then, 18 yuan of new tiles and 18 yuan of adobe wrapped in red paper were neatly placed.In the middle there is a long row of jewelry, clothing materials, etc., which cannot be seen because of the cover, but it is precisely because they cannot be seen that people have more room for imagination.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of pure gold hairpins here."

"You are dreaming, whose family will have so much gold for dowry, why don't you empty out your mother's family?"

"You don't understand. Do you know who this Miss Lin's maternal ancestral family is? That's the Pingyuanhou's mansion, and Pingyuanhou's Cuihou Ye was named a Marquis because of his meritorious service. Don't you understand? Don't come out and bark."

"Well, I really don't understand this, why don't you keep talking about it." The secrets of wealthy families have never lacked audiences.

The old man dressed in coarse clothes raised his chin in a high-spirited manner, and the corner of his eyes swept the ashes in front of him. He ran out of the nearby restaurant to watch the fun, and hummed, "I'm telling you? That's not a waste of saliva. My son hasn't had breakfast yet, so I don't have the energy to chat with you."

"Hey, you old..."

"I'd like to hear it. I wonder if you'd like to go upstairs to talk about it? Meals and drinks are available." At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from the side, which immediately changed the expression of the old man. He is rich and noble, and he can tell that he is the son of a rich family without looking at him. The wrinkled old face immediately pulled out a flattering smile, "What is this young master talking about, the villain must know everything..."

Seeing that Mr. Huafu ignored him and went straight to the restaurant at the back, he quickly trotted to follow. It was rare for him to go to the second floor for dinner. Whispering his tongue, he said, "Master Cui is amazing. Back then, a Tartar tribe in the north rebelled, and the first emperor sent him to put down the rebellion. He was a brave man... He was invincible. Prestige..."

"Okay, okay, you are talking about books, how can you earn so much money in this war?" The man raised his head and drank another glass of wine, looking at the festive dowry slowly passing by the window with an unpredictable expression, a little irritated interrupted the old man's chatter.

"Oh, don't believe me." The old man looked at the rich food and drink on the table, swallowed secretly, and said anxiously: "The little man lived at the gate of the city at that time, and saw with his own eyes that many horse-drawn carriages entered the city after the great victory and went to the palace. Afterwards, the villain’s uncle saw many carriages entering the Cui Mansion at that time, and they must have been rewarded by the emperor.” The old man was anxious when he saw the man in brocade clothes only drinking and dazed, and he was probably trying to renege on his debt, “Master, this little boy People haven't eaten yet, look..."

"Get lost—" The man threw out a fine silver ingot, and didn't bother to speak, just stared out the window in a daze.

"Come on, you scumbag, you made our Lord Zheng angry, and you are still thinking about your poor money." At the top of the stairs, a young man walked up the stairs. He was dressed in silk and jade, with red lips and white teeth. The paper fan on the paper fan is shaking slowly, at first glance, it looks a bit like a young master of the world.He laughed and took out a piece of silver from his purse, and threw it on the old man's face with a bang, "Is the silver enough?"

That shot just hit the old man's left eye, and he screamed in pain. He didn't dare to stay on it anymore, covered his eyes, picked up the silver, and ran down. Scolding.

"Sigh, I've been used to hard times in the barracks. Young master, I almost forgot the feeling of hitting people with silver." Jiang Cunmo intoxicatedly recollected the dull sound of the silver hitting people, and wobbled to his seat. Beside Zheng Mingli. "Why didn't you see me, kid? I'm not prettier than those boxes."

Zheng Mingli forced a smile, and replied: "How can it be, I just saw that the married daughter of the Lin family made such a big noise, that half of the capital was shaken, and I was so crowded by the spectators that I couldn't move even when I was riding a horse... ... Tsk tsk, it's been a while, and the dowry hasn't come to an end yet. You said that Mr. Lin San has accumulated a lot of money in a circle, and he probably has a lot of money." Now the Zheng family is relying on the Jiang family , he naturally wanted to pick Jiang Cunmo and said happily.

"That's it." Jiang Cunmo slammed the fan on the table, looking at the dowry box covered with gold leaf shining in the sun, he couldn't help but get angry. Recently, the old lady at home has given his mother a lot. Look at the face, even the always respectful Second Aunt dared to order her servants to disobey her mother, and she also suffered the face of her father a few times with herself. "The Lin family is also extremely shameless. A girl who is about the same age as me is going to be my aunt. Don't expect me to give her a good face."

After venting his anger, Jiang Cunmo calmed down, took the flagon and poured himself a glass of wine in a dispirited manner, squinted his eyes and smashed it: "Hey, I heard that Miss Lin is a beautiful woman. I heard that the second younger sister who attended the Zhixin Association told my old lady that the young lady of the Lin family is more beautiful than the ones painted, with black hair and beautiful face, and no makeup or powder on her face, her skin is as good as peeled off..."

Zheng Mingli couldn't bear his frivolous tone, and pretended to inadvertently raised his wine glass to toast, "Come, drink."

Jiang Cunmo is not a big drinker, he was a little tipsy after a few drinks, he stopped fantasizing after hearing the words, and clinked the glass with Zheng Mingli pretending to be proud, "Drink, what do you think the old lady is afraid of, really, what a beautiful daughter-in-law Isn't she still an outsider, my mother...my mother is..."

Seeing that he was getting less and less like what he said, Zheng Mingli quickly interrupted him: "You are promising now, and you entered the Shenji camp without saying a word. Usually, we don't even see your face. We have something to do in the future." You have to cover your brother." After holding him comfortably, he quietly changed the subject: "I heard that your Shenji Battalion is directly under the emperor, so you can't be lazy in normal training, right?"

"Hey, don't talk about this, I'll get angry when I mention this." Jiang Cunmo raised his head and drank another glass, and said angrily: "You don't know, I have suffered a great crime..."

Zheng Mingli smiled and listened to Jiang Cunmo's endless complaints, and his mind had drifted out of the window... It was also such a good day that day, she just smiled curiously at him, with a little bit of playfulness and ignorance, and the sunlight outside shone through the carved window It shone on her face as white as jade, and turned back and forth in his dreams... But, it's time to wake up from this dream, Zheng Mingli raised his hand to call Xiaoer to bring another pot of wine, a little drunkenness appeared on his fair face. After the blush.Forget it, let’s marry that young lady from the family my mother mentioned...

The world doesn't stop because of a person, and the makeup delivery outside is ushering in the big day. The furniture of all colors is basically made of huanghuali, red sandalwood, chicken wing wood, and occasionally rosewood and nanmu, all tied with festive red silk .Book case, kang table, incense table, flower table, coffee table, desk table, painting table, piano table, eight immortals table, Duobao Pavilion, dressing table, rose chair, armchair, round chair, box cabinet, bedside cabinet, descendants bucket, bamboo pier , a round stool, an arhat bed, a beauty couch... Finally, there is a huge luxurious red rosewood wood with pendant flowers and begonia flowers surrounded by a step-up bed. There was a louder admiration, and those who were more dexterous squeezed forward one after another, hoping to see more clearly.

Only the accompanying furniture made the people of the capital look back.

……

The door of Cheng Guogong's mansion was opened. The huge mansion has been newly decorated. Red lanterns and big red happy characters are everywhere. When they got married, the old lady also ordered someone to open up a small garden nearby to form a yard. Mother Yao and mother Xie looked at each other, and they both saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

The main room is a structure of "three fronts and two ears", with the seats facing north and south, and the side rooms on both sides are all tidy and tidy, and the space is vacated according to the agreement, waiting for the dowry to be filled.This time, the three mothers in charge of Yuzhu all came. Cui was worried and sent Mama Liu to accompany her. The four of them planned to frighten the young lady, so they all accepted the smiles they carried along the way. So much so that when Mrs. Du led the serious and cold four mothers into the green courtyard, the maidservants who were serving in the courtyard subconsciously bowed their heads and kept silent.

When all the dowries have entered the Qingyuan Courtyard, they will be displayed one by one in the front yard as usual for people to appreciate.The maids who have been trained well in Deyuan know that this is the first impression of the young lady's in-law's family, and they all behave in an orderly, flexible and light manner.The selected maid stepped forward to open the lid of the box, and took out the layers of trays inside, and took out all the boxes that were packed to the brim, and opened them one by one.Eight pairs of gold pagoda-shaped hairpins inlaid with pearls, eight pairs of magpie climbing plum hairpins, one set of honey wax hairpins, one set of sandalwood konghou hairpins, eight silver rings and eight gold rings each, eighteen sets of silver naked sons, and a set of knotted ribbons. A tray of birthstones, a tray of coral beads, large red and sapphire pendants, yellow and green teeth and yellow sapphires with large pendant horns, two red gold discs and two gold necklaces, two gold inlaid agate strings, two pairs of beads and silk discs and gold necklaces, Two pairs of eight-treasure Ruyi ginkgo leaf pendants, two pairs of emerald jade glazed bracelets, two purple and pink pearls, and other small daily-use jewelry head and face are filled with twelve boxes, python satin, makeup satin, gold flower satin, soft Yan Luo, pomegranate damask, moon white gauze, feather gauze, organdy wing gauze, etc. were packed into twenty boxes; The white fox armpit is larger, containing thirty boxes... As for other things such as bedding, antiques, utensils, clothes, and those porcelains, toilet utensils, rouge and gouache, which are not ordinary goods, people don't pay so much attention to it.

The furniture should not be exposed to the sun for too long. After a while, the four mothers took a good look at the place and instructed the rough-handed mother-in-law to carry things into each room.

Mother Yao saw a woman in white standing in front of the inner study, and couldn't help showing a disgusted expression. She reached out and poked Mother Xie who was reminding the women not to rub the corner of the cabinet, "Look, That's not the thing about the maid in the study, who doesn't know the room, and who doesn't know the room."

Mother Xie didn't raise her head, and waited for the huanghuali carved wardrobe she was looking at to be placed smoothly, then she slowly raised her head to take a look, and said with a sneer, "Hold it for now, I have to wait for the young lady to come first." Stand firm and let’s talk about it.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
