Chapter 292: The Wedding Dress
After the meal, Shanzi led Chen Daya and Wu Xiaoqing to Luyuan, Chu Lingyan took a lunch break, Chen Afu sat under the window to make wedding dresses, and Xia Yue was also helping to make socks.
Chen Afu made a total of four sets of wedding dresses. Most of the wedding dresses worn for the ceremony have been completed, and only some embroidery remains. The outerwear, red hijab, and embroidered shoes have no new intentions, and they are the kind that are popular in this era. The red satin gold embroidered gown, the red satin sprinkled horse face skirt, and only twelve pairs of mandarin duck large flower plate buckles are more novel and exaggerated.
The tailoring and sewing were done by Chen Afu himself, but the embroidery was embroidered with the full help of Wang, and the embroidery has not yet been completed. One is that Chen Afu's embroidery is indeed not flattering, one is Wang's fanatical love for embroidery, and the other is that Wang hopes that his daughter will be the most beautiful bride.
The red belly pocket has been done, this thing Wang is not embarrassed to interfere with, the cutting, sewing, and embroidery are all made by Chen Afu himself. She only embroidered a pair of lotus on it, and did not embroider a more realistic pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, it is really too difficult to embroider mandarin ducks in floral clothes. Moreover, compared with the flowers embroidered by Wang's family, she blushed herself. However, she still pinched a circle of lace around her belly pocket to decorate, instead of pressing the edge of this era.
The obscene pants were cut according to the pajamas and pajamas in her previous life, with a red soft satin fabric, cut to fit better, and only embroidered a few small flowers on the neckline and cuffs.
The other three sets of clothes worn by the bride are also being made, and she has made some improvements to the style, which is more novel and beautiful. She cut these clothes and paid for the embroidery lady to sew and embroider them in Luyuan.
She was embroidering small flowers on the collar of her pajamas.
It was probably not before Lu Yuan calmed down, except for Mrs. Chen and Dafang, the guests left.
Dabao's excited voice came, "Mother, come on, my son can't take it, grandpa gave us so much meat." ”
Chen Afu looked out the window, and Dabao rushed into the courtyard, carrying a piece of pork and a few ribs in his hands. He was afraid that the meat would be dirty if it dragged on the ground, and his little arms were raised high. Old man Zeng reached out to pick it up, but he dodged it and went straight to the upper room.
Chen Afu hurriedly put down his clothes, went out of the room, and took the meat in his hand.
Dabao said excitedly, "Grandpa sold a big fat pig, sold a total of two taels and five dollars of silver, and kept a big fat pig to eat for his own ......."
As he was talking, Chu Lingzhi also ran into the yard, he also carried a piece of pork in his hand, and said, "This meat was given to our family by Uncle Chen." My grandfather said that we were all eating in Fuyuan, so he asked me to bring it to Sister Chen. ”
Chen Afu took it with a smile and said that he went into the kitchen and wiped the meat with salt and cooled it under the eaves so that it could be stored for a long time.
Dabao hurriedly grabbed Chen Afu and said, "Mother, my sister hasn't seen our pigs yet, let my sister see it and then wipe the salt." He also said, "Grandma asked her mother to go to Luyuan, and she said that she wanted to discuss something with her mother." ”
Chen Afu was a little puzzled, she didn't have much contact with Dafang now, and she didn't know what they were looking for her. She put the meat in a basin and went to the garden.
When they came to the upper room of Luyuan, Mrs. Chen and the big house were sitting inside. Chen Afu greeted them with a smile, Chen Aju also grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into Chen Afu's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Afu eats peanuts, this is the little red peanuts I grow at home, fragrant." ”
Chen Afu is a little messy, why did Chen Aju suddenly become so friendly and friendly?
After a few people talked for a while, the old lady sent Hu Shi, Chen Aju, Chen Agui and others home. Hu was still unwilling, and was glared at by Chen Ye, so he had to get up and leave.
Only Chen Ming, Wang, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye were left in the house.
Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "My Aju will be fifteen years old at the beginning of next year, and I haven't found a suitable person yet, so my eldest and I are in a hurry." ”
Chen Ming comforted, "Now the life of the eldest brother's family is better, and Ah Ju is not worried about getting married." ”
Chen Ye said helplessly, "But that dead girl is just thinking about Hu Wei......" and looked at Chen Afu and said, "We thought that the second brother is a relative, so it's not easy to talk about it, so we want to ask Manager Luo to help me say it." Hu Lao Wu wanted to take care of things when he saw it, and as soon as Luo said it, he would definitely agree. ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Afu with a blank eye.
Chen Afu was extremely embarrassed. Last time, she promised to let Steward Luo help Chen Aman agree, and that was based on the good impression of both parties. And this time, Hu Lao Wu has made it clear that he doesn't want Chen Aju to be his daughter-in-law, so how can he let Luo manage things to be high-pressure.
If it were herself, she wouldn't like Chen Aju as her daughter-in-law. There was a saying in the previous life that if a woman marries the wrong husband, her whole life will be ruined, and if a man marries the wrong wife, three generations will be over.
Chen Aju is lazy and rude, and she is not smart, although she has changed some problems now, the roots are there.
Hu Lao Wu saw that when Chen Aju was the most unbearable, he was definitely unwilling to let his only son marry such a girl. Although Chen Ye's family is getting better and better, Hu Lao Wu also went to the county through the Luo steward, and took his son to the county government to be a small official. He definitely wants to find a girl with a good family and temperament for his son, and strive to go further.
Chen Afu said with a smile, "I heard that Hu Lao Wu rejected Aju. If you marry into the Hu family, it will be Ah Ju who suffers. ”
Mrs. Chen immediately said, "See, Ah Fu said the same thing." I told Ah Gui a long time ago, the Hu family is not a good family, the family is better than a mouse, and only one stupid one married you. Aju is such a stupid Nizi, if she really marries, she must not be bullied to death. Besides, that Hu Wei kid can't do anything except look glamorous, after reading so many years, he didn't even get into the exam, what's so good. ”
Chen Ye took two puffs of cigarette and said angrily, "That dead girl is going to die or live, and her mother is also indulging her...... I just thought, now our family is different from the past, with Ah Fu's support, Hu Lao Wu's father and son don't dare to do anything to Ah Ju. ”
Mrs. Chen said again, "If you want to rectify people, there are ways to make people so good that they can't say anything." That Hu Lao Wu specializes in bad things, and there are more ways to rectify people. Ah Ju is stupid, she has to count the silver for others if she is sold, and Ah Fu can't help if she wants to. ”
Chen Afu was amused, this old lady said everything she wanted to say. nodded and said, "Grandma is right, the Hu family is not a good place for Aju." The twisted melon is not sweet, their life is not good, and the uncle is not bad. ”
When Chen Ye heard Chen Afu say this, he knew that she would not help, so he had to dispel that idea. Without Chen Afu's support, his family is nothing. He said, "Okay, I'll go home and let them cut off that thought." ”
Chen Afu talked to them for a while, then got up and went back to Fuyuan.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Chu Hanyan and Dabao squatting to look at the pork in the basin.
When Chu Hanyan saw Chen Afu coming back, she looked up and smiled at her, "Auntie, I just know why the meat at noon is so fragrant, it turned out to be a pig fed by my brother." ”
