Chapter 220: A Little Thing in the Republic of China 16
Half a month later, seeing that the marriage was approaching, Li Shenzhou finally finished embroidering the last stitch, picked up the men's clothes and held them up to check, the women's clothes were completed five days ago, and the wedding dress was much more complicated than the man's wedding dress, and it was also difficult to embroider.
When Steward Xu came over to deliver the food, Li Shenzhou handed him the finished wedding dress, "Inside is the wedding dress for Mr. Yun, you can show him." ”
Steward Xu smiled, "Miss Shenzhou's craftsmanship is good, the young master will be satisfied, the meat and vegetables have been delivered, the young master is afraid that he won't have time to come over to see the girl today, the Yun Mansion is already busy, the young master will not go to the military headquarters from tomorrow, and he will take six days off for the sake of getting married." "Look at how much the young master values the girl.
Li Shenzhou smiled and said, "Steward Xu walks slowly." ”
"Okay, I'll go now, Miss Shenzhou, there are two days to go before the wedding, you have to rest, don't be too tired." After Steward Xu left, Li Shenzhou took out the wedding dress and propped it up with a hanger, and now all the families have wooden hangers.
The day before the wedding, Steward Xu sent four servants, two men and two women, to help clean up the dowry and dowry and serve Li Shenzhou.
On the day of the wedding, the Li family beat gongs and drums and sent a dowry, for fear that others would not know that their Li family was marrying a daughter; it also showed that their Li family still valued this daughter very much, although the daughter was unwilling to go home to marry, but their dowry was still very rich.
"Madam, the Li Mansion has sent a lot of dowries, all of which are placed outside the door. "The courtyard was full of dowries and dowries, and the dowry sent by the Li family could not be put in at all.
Because she has not yet married, Steward Xu has always called her Miss Shenzhou, but now that she is about to get married, Steward Xu has changed her name to Young Grandma, and the servants in the Yun Mansion are hired only when they come here, not from the Yun family, nor are they people who follow Yun Shenyuan regularly, so they call her Mrs.
Li Shenzhou chuckled, "I know, just let them put it outside, and when you Yun Staff Officer comes, I will go out, and the dowry given by the Li family can be carried away directly, and there is no need to put it in the courtyard." "Giving a dowry with great fanfare, and those who don't know think it's a dowry, it's ridiculous to say.
However, it is the Li family who is ashamed, not the face of him and her, so don't care about them.
Li Shenzhou looked open, but the servants were a little angry, the two maids got along with Li Shenzhou for a longer time, and couldn't help muttering injustice, "Your marriage is all handled by the second aunt of the Li family, and the second aunt didn't come today, but there are a lot of people from their Li family." "Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge is also amazing.
"The second aunt didn't come?"
"Yes, I didn't see the second aunt, but the lord and wife of the Li family, as well as the young master and young lady who came out, are here. "With so many dowries, they always have to show their faces.
Li Shenzhou frowned, and threw it away in an instant, anyway, it was not too old to let the second aunt handle the marriage at the beginning, disgusting and disgusting Mrs. Li;
"Let them sit outside, don't let them in. ”
"Yes, ma'am, I'm going to greet someone. ”
A maid went out, and a maid was in the house waiting for Li Shenzhou.
The maid who went out was immediately unhappy when she saw that the Li family was actually looking around the bride price and dowry in the courtyard; however, they were the husband's father-in-law, and they were not good at saying anything offensive to people, so they were not angry.
These are all dowry and dowry specially given by the husband to his wife, how much does the Li family give? She only looked like a dozen or so sets, and she didn't even give half of the dowry that the husband gave to his wife, and she was embarrassed to beat the gong and drum to send it.
There are still a lot of fabrics in these dozen dowries, and I can't see them.
"Where's the sinking boat, is it in the house?" asked Mrs. Li with a smile on her face.
The maid looked respectful, "Mrs. is naturally in the house, and Mr. hasn't come to pick up anyone yet." "Where are you not in the house?
Mrs. Li smiled unnaturally and said, "Then let's go in to accompany her, the married girl will be lectured by her mother before she gets married." ”
"Thank you Mrs. Li for your kindness, my wife said, she should be quiet and wait for Mr. to come. "The maid blocked the door, just not letting the Li family in.
The eldest lady of the Li family was angry, "What does she Li Shenzhou mean? We came to her wedding with kindness, and our Li family also gave her a dowry, and we couldn't even enter the house." ”
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered outside the courtyard, some of them were invited to carry the dowry in advance, and some people in the alley came to see the excitement; as soon as the words of the eldest lady of the Li family came out, the people outside were misunderstood.
"It's too ....... for the family to come and let people in."
"Who's to say no, I heard that the man is married to a good man, and the man is a great official, and he holds military power in his hands, and he is also one of the best people in the army. ”
"Forget it, don't say it, who knows what's going on!" an old lady opened her mouth, "If it's really a family, why don't they go back and get married, and marry in our Xinghua Alley; It is said that the girl from his own family came to give the dowry, and the dowry should not have been prepared early in the morning and sent in? ”
It's true that everyone came back to it.
"So, this family is not a good thing. ”
"Okay, okay, it's all said, let's see what people say. ”
Outside, these people were talking a lot, and the maid couldn't bear the actions of the Li family, so she sneered and said: "What kind of dowry, as far as the dowry you give is rare! Look at the dowry in the courtyard, these are our wife's dowries, can you compare? Say it's a daughter, your mother can't tolerate a daughter, so she found an excuse to beat people up and drive them out. Seeing that my wife married well and posted it again, and did everything possible to earn a reputation for herself, whose daughter came to give the dowry on the day of the wedding? ”
"You ......" The eldest lady of the Li family was speechless, and her hands were shaking when she pointed at the maid.
The maid smiled, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please, "Mrs. Li and the three Miss Li should sit in the courtyard, Mr. Yun should be almost there, don't let Mr. Yun misunderstand that you are bullying my wife." ”
The Li family was dumbfounded, and the intention of making a scene was gone.
Li Xinglong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's all their fault, what's the trouble on the big day, let's sit in the courtyard, please bring a word, let Shen Zhou marry with peace of mind, we have always been her mother's family." ”
The maid endured it, and finally resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Okay, I'll go and talk to my wife; ”
Li Xinglong breathed a sigh of relief, saw the maid come into the house, turned his head and glared at his eldest daughter and Mrs. Li, "Don't embarrass me, sit down." ”
