Kang Shoujing's marriage was done very quickly, maybe Second Aunt Kang was in a hurry to pocket the tens of thousands of family fortunes for the New Year. It only took three months from engagement to marriage, which was considered a flash marriage at the moment.

Of course, Prince Ping's Mansion will not attend.

Even if they are relatives, the status gap is too great.Besides, apart from the Kang brothers, the rest of the Kang family was really an eyesore, so Hui Niang only sent a butler as a representative, and sent Kang Jierong back to have a drink three days in advance.

Since Kang Jierong entered the door, she was arrogant and with a mysterious smile, which aroused the curiosity of countless relatives and neighbors.

This suspense didn't let everyone know the truth until she jumped ahead of the housekeeper and announced that she would take out the congratulatory gift.

Two green jade hairpins lie quietly in the exquisite box with red velvet bottom, as clear and moving as two injections of clear springs.

One is slightly thicker, carved into the shape of bamboo joints, simple and unpretentious, but it has a noble air, obviously used by men.One is slightly longer, and the head of the hairpin is carved with dense bamboo leaves into a flower shape, which is obviously used by women.

Putting two hairpins together is a perfect match, a natural pair.

Kang Jierong flaunted, "The pair of hairpins are ancient relics from the previous dynasty. They were originally dug out from a piece of jade. They were originally a pair. Unfortunately, they were separated later. I don't know how many years they were separated. One fell into Prince Ping's mansion, and the other fell into the palace. It is in the hands of the current emperor. Later, the emperor accidentally saw the secret mark made by the craftsman on the horizontal head of the hairpin, and realized that it was a pair, so he gave the pair of hairpins to King Ping, and finally made them reunite."

Wow!Such a hairpin with a history is really a good thing that you can't buy with money.

Seeing that the housekeeper of the palace gave the male one to Kang Shoujing, and the female one to Miss Shao's family.Second Aunt Kang was very distressed.Pulling the girl aside and cursing secretly, "Such a good thing, why are you showing off in front of others?"

But Kang Jierong said nonchalantly, "Mom, what are you worried about? The queen mother has already said that when I get married, I will also pay a dowry to the palace. My brother doesn't even have any fame, and he got such a good thing. After all, I'm a poor man." Jun, can it be less by then?"

Only then did Aunt Kang feel better.Thinking about it again, even if you gave the jade hairpin to the girl of the Shao family, wouldn't you have to bring it back when she married in?Sooner or later, it's my own stuff, let's bear with it for a while, let them wear a long face.

Later, I heard that the Shao family had accepted this jade hairpin.After making up a lot of dowry temporarily, Second Aunt Kang's heart became more stable.

On October 28, the weather was fine.

Kang Shoujing tidied up early in the morning, wearing a scarlet gown, riding a tall horse, and tying up the jade hairpin with bamboo knots.to fetch his bride.

The Shao family accompanied 81 to carry the dowry, taking the number of ninety-nine.Ask for a forever.

From the large Qiangong Bed, the Eight Immortals Table, and the Beauty Couch to the small sewing box, rhombic mirror, and small handkerchief, all of them are exquisite and beautiful.Even compared to the official lady, she doesn't give in too much.

But when Second Aunt Kang received the dowry gift list, she found a very serious problem.

The Shao family didn't even send an acre of fertile land with them!

There are no shops or anything, and the dowries are all dead things that cannot generate interest.There are 12 servants and servants who are living creatures.They are all signed contracts with a limited number of years.In addition to the time I served at Shao's house, I don't know how many more years I can work at home.

Second Aunt Kang was in a hurry.What she was going to marry was the wealth of the Shao family, not a dowry that could not be moved.

The bride put some silver at the bottom of the box, but it was only 81 taels.They also deliberately had people cast them into nine nine-two flower patterns, spread two two on the four corners of the box and press one in the middle.It looks really auspicious, but... But what is the money for this idea?

Not urgent.The Shao family is just such an only child, so it is impossible to give money to others, right?Second Aunt Kang comforted herself and finished the wedding with a smile on her face.

After the festivities in the bridal chamber, when Cousin Kang took the shy bride out to meet the elders early in the morning, everyone could tell that the young couple had a good emotional exchange last night and were very satisfied with each other.

Although Kang Shoujing is a good-looking talent, this Miss Shao is also beautiful, gentle and polite.A pair of lovers is a perfect match.

Kang Jierong couldn't help but feel a little jealous. If she could stand together like this with her husband in the future, it would be considered complete.

After kowtowing over her head and serving tea, she gave a red envelope in a meaningful way. Second Aunt Kang couldn't help asking, "Where's your jade hairpin? Why don't you wear it? Don't break it?"

The bride Jiao Didi said, "The hairpin given by my cousin is so noble, how dare I break it? My mother has already told me that she is not allowed to wear it when it is not an emergency. It has been properly locked in the box, so my aunt doesn't have to worry about it." gone."

What do you mean by that?If Kang Shoujing dared to say this, Second Aunt Kang would scold him bloody.But what does the new daughter-in-law look like when she says this?She's not a serious mother-in-law, what prestige is she shaking?

Second Aunt Kang felt displeased, squeezed the handkerchief, and said, "Since it's put away, I'm relieved. But you young people are not safe in doing things, so let your mother put it away."

"Yes." Aunt Kang answered quickly, and she had already taken a fancy to the pair of hairpins, but she didn't have a chance to play with them carefully.If she left it here, how would she wear it, what would others say?

"You guys bring it."

But the bride was puzzled, "But this hairpin is always worn when I visit my cousin's house tomorrow, and I have to wear it when I return home. Why don't I leave it with us for now and give it to my grandmother when I come back."

Hmm...that makes sense.Only when Aunt Kang wanted to agree, Second Aunt Kang suddenly said, "You are newly married, so why should you visit your cousin? You should get familiar with the housework at home first."

We have to set up the rules first, and give this daughter-in-law a big shot, so I'm not afraid that she won't hand over valuables.

Kang Shoujing couldn't help but want to speak for his daughter-in-law, but Shaw rushed ahead of him and said, "It's because of the newly married, that's why I have to hurry to see my uncle. Uncle has never been too big, and the father-in-law's parents are all the same. After passing away, apart from grandma and uncles and aunts, uncle is the oldest. Besides, he has a noble status, and we are juniors, if we don’t go, won’t people gossip about it? If we don’t go back, even my sister’s reputation will be affected.”

There is some truth in this statement, Kang Jierong thought of her marriage with the He family, and felt that this new sister-in-law was very thoughtful.

"Mother, there will be a long time to come. I have plenty of time to get familiar with housework. It's better to let my brother and sister-in-law visit my uncle. By the way, I should go back."

I'm used to living in Prince Ping's mansion, how can I still look up to my own family?

There were relatives from the Kang family nearby, who asked with concern, "But in this way, I'm afraid you will miss three dynasties, right?"

Shao smiled, "It's okay. There are always three, six or nine days when you can go back home. Let's rush to send my sister to the capital first, and then go back home after seeing my uncle. My parents won't be offended."

There was really no way to refute it.

Although Second Aunt Kang was not reconciled, she had to let him go.Ren Xiao and his wife went to the capital with their daughter and the housekeeper of Prince Ping's residence, and it was already dozens of days later when they came back home.Kang Shouyi also sent them back to the farm, and the hairpins on their heads were gone.

Shao told Second Aunt Kang with an innocent face, "My mother and aunt have the same heart. I am afraid that we will damage the hairpin and take it away for safekeeping. In case you will be offended, she specially made a document. If it is damaged , our family guarantees compensation."

Well, let's not talk about this.Aunt Kang began to talk about housework and establish rules, and the Taoist family was struggling.

"...All these years, the family has relied on your uncle's salary, but how can it be enough for expenses? Now that there are more people in the family, the daily necessities are so worrying to me."

After Shaw listened carefully, he resolutely expressed his sympathy, "It's been difficult for Aunt these years, why don't you leave the house to your nephew and daughter-in-law. Even if you don't live well, there is always something to eat. Don't look at me I was young, and I grew up watching my father discuss business plans with shopkeepers, if the family is not doing well, I deserve to sell the dowry."

Second Aunt Kang suddenly realized that her calculation seemed to be wrong.

The capital, Prince Ping's Mansion.

Hui Niang ate the freshly fried orchid beans, and suddenly laughed.

Even with today's honor, some habits are still difficult to correct.For example, broad beans, a small snack that is difficult to be elegant, is extremely loved by Hui Niang.The only difference is that now she has a cook and daughter who can do whatever she wants, forcing her to make all kinds of delicacies from a small broad bean.

Nianfu looked at his mother strangely, "What are you laughing at?" She made salt and pepper jade belt orchid beans, not laughing medicine, why is my mother so happy?

Madam Hui laughed uncontrollably, "I suddenly remembered your cousin's daughter-in-law, and I don't know that your second aunt is regretting begging for such a nephew's daughter-in-law."

Nianfu also smiled.

Although they only got along with that Shaw for a few days, they could tell that she was a very shrewd girl.If you think about it, you are a merchant's family, so how can you allow yourself to be tricked?Second Aunt Kang wanted to plot against the family's wealth, but she was afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty.

But after laughing, Hui Niang suddenly became sad again.

"Your cousin has only been talking about being married for a few months, so you're getting married. Once he gets married, that girl from the Kang family will get married soon. Only the kid from the Ouyang family doesn't know where she is. "

Nianfu was also sad.

The end of the year was the peak season for marriages, not counting the Kang family, she received as many as seven or eight posts in the past half month alone.Counting it, Ouyang Kang has been gone for almost half a year. If he is still alive, why can't he deliver a letter to the capital?

grassland.

Ouyang Kang suddenly felt something, and patted Gong Sunhong beside him, "Hey, since the emperor sent you here, I have given you something to quickly contact the capital, right? Report a letter to my wife, saying that I am about to I went back to save her from having an uneasy life for years. Of course, if it’s convenient, it’s best to add a few more words, so that she can prepare to eat and drink well, and wait for me to go back.”

Young Master Ouyang was hopeful, and said generously, "I will never forget you and my brothers."
