The Fucha family and the Niu Hulu family reached a consensus on the family affairs of their children, and decided to hold the wedding as scheduled, which was originally scheduled for autumn, but now it is the end of summer, and everything that should be prepared has to be prepared.

Because of the gratitude for the letter of the Niu Hulu family, in order to show the importance, Xilin Jue Luo prepared the dowry, a full thirty-two lifts, including a pair of geese, a pair of live chickens, a pair of female ducks, six boxes of gold and silver jewelry, clothes for the bride satin, double Ruyi, double goose and double wine, leg of lamb elbow and a variety of steamed food, dragon and phoenix cakes, crystal cakes and other happy spots, red dates, peanuts, longan, chestnuts four dried fruits, apples, pears, oranges, persimmons four fresh fruits, and dragon and phoenix candles, etc., six hundred taels of silver, lively and lively sent to Niu Hulu's house.

The wedding date is set for September 12, only two and a half months from now, a few days after the next hire, Niu Hulu's family came to measure the size of the new house, Shu Yier's family also began to get busy, Jing Gule's yard was originally newly renovated, but it saved a lot of things, only to repaint the uneven place on the ground, and there was no big move.

Time passed, Jing Gule's injuries gradually healed, and the Imperial Doctor Ye came to check his pulse twice, and was very relieved to say that he recovered well, a little better than he expected, his daily life was basically not affected, and his behavior and lying up and lying were the same as before, but he was easily tired, and his body and energy were much worse than before, and he became a sick beauty.

Originally, Xilin Jue Luo prepared a room for enlightenment for Jing "Gu Le, but the Taiyi Jian yì Jing Gu Le should cultivate his self-cultivation and not be too careful about women. To put it bluntly, he wanted him to take it easy, and the spare room was useless, so Erhe had to go into battle in person. Explaining to his son, he was really embarrassed, said a few words vaguely, and finally threw Jing Gule a copy of the Spring Palace Map.

On September 11, Niu Hulu's dowry was sent to the Fucha family, which was full of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, which fully demonstrated the strength of Niu Hulu's family. At the same time, it also shows that people attach great importance to their daughters, and this is the pomp and circumstance that should be there.

For the first time, Shuirha took a closer look at the dowry at this time. When her cousin married her cousin, as a guest, she could only take a few glances, only knowing that the dowry included almost everything that a woman would use for the rest of her life. But what should be exactly? What kind of specifications should each one be, she was very vague in her heart, curious for a long time, but it was not good to ask people, this time she took a closer look at the real thing, and took advantage of Xilin Jue Luo's look at the dowry list to follow a few glances, and saw that it was from the grange shop to the dowry maid, from the large furniture to the rouge gouache. Clothing, silk, gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, spices and medicinal herbs, etc., and even feather dusters, spittoon toilets. She couldn't help but be amazed.

She really didn't expect that there would be a toilet in the dowry, but it is not called a toilet here, but a descendant bucket, and the foot basin bucket is a set, which is filled with red dates and peanuts and other things, meaning "early birth of a noble son" and "more blessings and longevity", Shu Yierha felt fresh, and asked Mama Wu to know that the Manchurians originally did not pay attention to this, but borrowed from the marriage customs of the Han people, and it was only popular in the past twenty or thirty years.

Seeing that Shu Yierha was interested in these, Mama Wu carefully told her about the exquisiteness of marriage customs, specifically talking about the dowry, Shu Yierha has a lot of knowledge, she knew that the full dowry is thirty-two lifts, and the average rich family will buy sixty-four dowries for their daughters, and the noble families in Beijing marry daughters, most of them are in one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, and those who are well-off and love their daughters will buy more generous, and those who don't want to break the cost too much can use poor wood to make furniture, or install a few more worthless clothes and quilts and other means, which not only reduce the cost, but also will not be too ugly on the face。

Of course, the dowry prepared by Niu Hulu's family is not those flashy goods, as far as Shu Yierha saw, those large pieces of furniture, most of them are made of sour branch wood, and some smaller box cage kang tables are Huanghuali, and there are many furniture, jewelry and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clothing and rouge gouache are relatively small, and there are two shops and fifteen hectares of land, which is the most valuable head, Shu Yierha secretly laughed Jing Gule married a rich woman, he is not as rich as his daughter-in-law.

Niu Hulu's dowry was placed in the courtyard for a long time, for relatives and friends to watch, this is called makeup, in the afternoon, there are people from Niu Hulu's family with the people of the Fucha family, put the furniture in the new house, should be put away, at this time Shu Yierha observed a small custom, Niu Hulu's family gave a box of silver is ninety-nine taels of gold, take the meaning of a long time, Xilin Jue Luo added doubled that is, one hundred and ninety-eight taels into it, and the wife of the family locked the cage together, this procedure is finished.

After the people who sent the makeup to Niu Hulu's family left, Xilin Jue Luo commanded the servants at home to build a wedding shed and tie red silk, Shu Yierha didn't care about anything else, only responsible for the placement of flowers in the yard, she heard the grandmothers say that when the banquet was placed, there should be flowers in the yard to celebrate, let the florists on the hot spring village cultivate a lot of begonias and peony flowers in advance, and then there are dozens of pots of red Yueji, begonias and peonies imply Yutang wealth, Yueji is used by her to replace roses, who can't find roses now, but the specially cultivated Yueji looks very beautiful, and it is better than nothing with them。

When these flowers were sent, Xilin Jue Luo was very strange, and asked why there were no chrysanthemums, to know that now is the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and it is good to use chrysanthemums to imply that chrysanthemums are good, chrysanthemums have always had the meaning of auspicious longevity, and many people love to put a few pots of chrysanthemums, but they don't have them at home, but they feel weird.

Shu Yierha can only explain that he thinks that there are too many people who use chrysanthemums, but they are not as fresh as begonia peonies, and they are equally festive, this reason Xilin Jue Luo reluctantly accepted, and did not say anything, she didn't know, Shu Yierha was actually a taboo in her heart, who let future generations sweep the tomb and offer flowers, they used white chrysanthemums, how unlucky it is to put them on the wedding, I don't know, I know, she naturally wants to be the first to remove the chrysanthemums.

Shu Yierha commanded a few small guys, carefully put the moon season out of a heart, and used begonias and peonies in the middle to spell out the four words of a hundred years of good combination, a red and prosperous, looking at the mood, but Jing Guji didn't understand her aesthetics, dropped the word "cheesy" and hid his face, and fully expressed his attitude with his actions, making Shu Yierha angry enough, and afraid that these flowers would really look weird, so he was busy asking the grandmothers for verification, Wu Mama smiled and said: " Ming'er is the day of the uncle's big day, it should be so festive, it is lively, and the future life can be smooth, and Gege is not more concerned about the words of the second master. Shu Yierha was relieved.

The Manchus are actually respected by white, but over the years, many customs and details have been sinicized, and now, in addition to the Spring Festival couplets during the New Year are written on white paper, when there are other happy events, they are also keen on red, and there is no big red is the exclusive saying of the main room, and after entering the customs, they also pay attention to it, saying that the Manchus rule the Han people, in fact, they themselves have changed more.

Shu Yierha likes to listen to the old people talk about the ancients, just when the old lady is old, she likes to recall the past, she often goes to chat with the old lady in her spare time, where the old lady said where she heard, she really increased a lot of knowledge, and also had a lot of understanding of Manchu traditions, and then compared with the current situation, I found that the place of change is not one or two, and all aspects are deeply influenced by the Han people.

Knowing more, Shu Yierha has a new feeling about many things, such as reading books before, seeing Yongzheng promoting official language, but Qianlong promoting Chinese, that is, Manchu, used to think that he was purely to work with Yongzheng, but now there is a new conjecture, he is likely to prevent the Manchus from being too sinicized, think about how ironic, the emperor is Manchu, Manchu is the Chinese, but the Han ministers speak Chinese, but want the emperor and the Manchu ministers to learn Chinese, and then look at the Manchus are almost no different from the Han, as the largest Manchu leader, can Shu Yierha remember that an emperor ordered that flag people on formal occasions should not wear Hanfu, probably out of the same mentality.

Not to mention Shu Yierha's thinking of running away from the sky, this day passed in the busy Fucha family, and the next day was the day of Jinggule's wedding.

There was nothing to do with Shu Yierha this day, Xilin Jueluo specially invited her sister-in-law Niu Hulu to come over to help, she married her daughter-in-law for the first time, it was inevitable that there were some omissions, but Niu Hulu was experienced, and with her on the side, she also made all the matters properly.

Shu Yierha didn't have any tasks, just watching the ancient wedding scene on the side, she watched the two cousins-in-law go to the new house to spread the futon, and stuffed the corners of the quilt with red dates, longan, peanuts and chestnuts four kinds of dried fruits, there are two married wives in the room, who are taking care of the affairs in the new house, and Shu Yierha's fifteen sisters-in-law, she is the one who adds fat to the bride, but there is nothing to do at the moment.

After Shen, Jing Gule went to the main hall to worship his parents, with a full guard of honor to welcome his relatives, and rode out on a horse, Shu Yierha was a little regretful that he couldn't go with him, at this time the family had come a lot, and she was not good at running around, so she simply talked to the fifteenth sister-in-law in the new house, and sighed in her heart while chatting, the benefits of the family are many, at least you don't have to worry about employing people, anyone can find it from your own family, how worry-free and trouble-free!

Marrying a wife should be highly respected, there are in the family; Mrs. Quanfu wants her parents and in-laws to have both children and daughters, and there are also in the family; the daughter-in-law who adds fat powder should be young and beautiful, and there are also in the family, and even the boy who presses the sedan chair has more than a dozen candidates, depending on whether you like to be lively or quiet, all kinds of personalities are at your disposal, in short, anyone can be found from their own home, completely self-sufficient, no need to ask outsiders for help.
