Chapter 2: Marriage

Shui Changxiao's original wife, Mrs. He, has passed away, and now the family is in charge of the inner house is the step-room Li family, Shui Yunfeng, Shui Hanqing's mother, the Li family was born in the second-class family of the Li family in southern Fujian, is the eldest daughter of the collateral lineage, married to the first-class family Shui Changxiao as the steproom, but it is a bit condescending, but it is rare for a second-class family to marry into a first-class family, plus Shui Changxiao himself is rich in both civil and military affairs, has connections and skills, and his children are competitive, and he can speak quite well in the Shui family.

Now that the three daughters of the original spouse are married, the son-in-law's family is from a low background, and the position is high, but the person is not good, and Mrs. Li is not very jealous; besides, if the stepdaughter marries well, her own children can also be stained, isn't it excellent; as for how the stepdaughter will live after she marries, she does not need to think about it! She only needs to marry her stepdaughter in a beautiful and grand manner. As for the dowry, she didn't dare to be stingy, Shui Changxiao attached great importance to this marriage, plus Shui Yunfan personally supervised it, it was not easy to do anything she wanted, and being found out would destroy Shui Changxiao's trust in herself. Besides, his daughter will not lack anything when she marries in the future, so she will be extremely generous about this at that time.

In her selfish heart, Mrs. Li was genuinely happy about her stepdaughter's marriage. The third lady of the water family smiled, her reputation was not obvious, she didn't like to hunt horses, she didn't like to write poems, she lived in the Taoyuan Garden outside the city for half a year, and practiced swords every day in the house, and she had an easy-going personality, greeting herself every day, respectful and respectful, and there was no rudeness; She always felt that this stepdaughter was very difficult to mess with, and she always couldn't help but avoid three points when facing her; now that she was going to get married, and the appearance of the marriage was not good on the inside, Mrs. Li only felt that she had quietly breathed a sigh in her heart, and she suddenly felt refreshed. He is also very active and quick to get things done.

……

The chief steward Xuanqi sat outside and whispered some of the income of this year, and there have been many grange businesses under his name, including the dowry of his mother Mrs. He, the father, sister and brother, the uncle, and more of them are some of the grange mountain and forest workshops he bought, which is estimated that even his father Shui Changxiao is not very clear. Since Hanxiao was able to take care of her share of the dowry that her mother He gave to the three of their sisters, Shui Changxiao completely let go and let Hanxiao take care of her own property.

The chief steward Chi Xuanqi is the person who was saved by Hanxiao when he was in Taoyuan Villa, he is a prodigal son from a businessman, he was chased and killed by the enemy and fled to Hanxiao's courtyard, but Hanxiao saved him, and signed his deed of sale by the way, and since then he has sold himself to Hanxiao, making cattle and horses to make money to redeem himself;

After drinking a pot of incomparably precious Shuyun tea, talking about business, and exchanging business plans for next year, Chi Xuanqi suddenly said casually: "I see that Mrs. is very active and happy to prepare a dowry for her master?"

Shui Hanxiao raised his head and smiled dumbly, thinking that this big steward was really powerful! Not long after returning to Shuicheng, he hadn't seen Mrs. Li a few times, and he didn't say a word when he met and talked officially, but he was able to say this sentence accurately, and his eyes were really sharp! "Isn't it good to be happy?"

"Good. Chi Xuanqi chuckled.

He smiled and pondered for a moment, and ordered: "You go to the capital first! ”

"No. Chi Xuanqi was not surprised at all, he knew that it was his own business sooner or later.

……

In the spring of the coming year, the flowers are blooming, the red carpet is covered with long streets, the dowry stretches for ten miles, the groom is magnificent, outstanding, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who look at them are full of shame, and they can't help but peek at them, and the blue eyes are also talked about by them.

Let's say that Xiao Di bowed down to his father-in-law Shui Changxiao in a groom's outfit, Shui Changxiao looked at the outstanding young man in front of him with a complicated face, he will be the husband of his beloved daughter in the future. If his smile could be more sincere and heartfelt, then I might think more about him. And this can't be forced, it's too late to say anything now, this young man is already his own son-in-law, and there is no turning point to change this situation.

Even if he was dissatisfied with Shui Changxiao, he still received Xiao Di sincerely and warmly, serving the strongest wine, the best tea, and the most delicious snacks, not for anything else, just because he would be his daughter's support in the future.

The brothers of the Shui family, except for Shui Yunfeng, who is still young, the other two have to send Shui Hanxiao to the capital Minjing to get married.

Xiao Di took the sedan chair, blew all the way to the Bailong River to get on the boat, and set sail towards Minjing.

……

Besides, the Beihou Mansion in Minjing Town, the bride's dowry arrived early, the fertile fields of the eight classics, ten miles of red makeup, red carpet paving, and two hundred and eighty dowries stretched throughout the capital, this end has entered the gate of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the back is still moving down on the canal outside the city. The people of the capital were really eye-opening! Even when a noble girl in the capital got married, she was rarely able to put on such a huge formation, and she couldn't help but sigh and envy.

"I heard that the Shui family's Wanjin City is very wealthy, and it really deserves its reputation! Look at this formation, this is still the third daughter?!"

"I heard that there is still a little daughter in that branch who has not made up her mind, or we will go to propose. Our three sons haven't decided to marry yet?!"

"How can such a dowry not be married? How can you just marry that cold-faced butcher? What a waste of this eldest lady of a family! How can such a humble background know how to appreciate and care for these well-bred ladies of a family. ”

"It's just pure waste!" the sour tone sounded like envy;

"Shhh, be quiet, it's not far ahead of the Hou Mansion, be careful to hear it inside. Then you will be miserable. No one can save you. There was a timid whispering reminder.

"No, it's so far away!"

"How could it not, Zhenbei Hou's internal strength is about to reach the realm of a grandmaster, and there are many masters in the mansion?" the insider revealed mysteriously.

"Oh my God, I didn't say anything unpleasant just now! I don't think so!"

……

In the box on the second floor of the Chaxiang Building, Miss Fei Mingzhi, the bright and charming waiter of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the red carpet downstairs and the beautifully decorated dowry, and said to herself: "This bride is the sister of the son of Zhiyuan, I don't know what the appearance is?"

"What does my sister think? Do you want to be close to this Mrs. Hou, and it is best to ...... it." Fei Mingzhi's sister-in-law Lu Peiyu quipped.

"Sister-in-law. "Fei Mingzhi is coquettish. She and her sister-in-law have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is excellent. is not like an ordinary sister-in-law, but is as affectionate as a sister.

Lu Peiyu looked at her sister-in-law's blushing cheeks amusedly and smiled slightly. I thought of the man with outstanding demeanor and gentle eyes, and his eyes gradually deepened.

That man, although his eyes are gentle but deep as the sea, he can't see the bottom at all, it is not something that a simple child like my sister-in-law can handle, and I am afraid that there is little hope for the marriage of the two people;

The Shui family is next to the son-in-law, the talented and good-looking, both civil and military, the Jinshi of the dynasty, the son of Zhiyuan, Shui Yunfan-the Shui family is probably the one who arranged for him to be the master, and it is very likely that Princess Anning, the sister-in-law of the current saint.

If it weren't for the Shang Lord, why wouldn't I see the engagement of the son of Zhiyuan until now;

If it weren't for the sake of the lord, why did he get the Jinshi and not go to any position with real power until now;

Lu Peiyu thought about it, and sighed secretly in her heart!

Admiring a man is something that only happens when he is a child, and women have to grow up.
