Chapter 147 Marriage
The autumn color is getting thicker, and after continuous discussions between Zhen and Jia, the wedding date of Jia Zhen and Zhen Wenyi was finally set, on the sixth day of December. Since www.biquge.info then, Zhen Wenyi has spent his increasingly short days in continuous embroidery.
Seeing Zhen Wenyi, who was so busy that her eyes were blank and her whole body was out of energy, Zhen Wanyi quipped: "You usually have a lot of ideas, why did you obediently embroider the wedding dress this time?
Zhen Wenyi threw away the needle and thread in her hand, and rolled her eyes angrily, "Are you in a panic if you have nothing to do?" After speaking, he pointed to a dozen cut handkerchiefs on the table and said.
Zhen Wanyi walked over and flipped through it, it was all plain white lake silk handkerchiefs, "There are so many, why don't you give it to the people in the sewing room to embroider?"
"The needlework is embroidering my wedding dress?"
Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened, "They embroider wedding dresses, so what are you doing?"
Zhen Wenyi lifted the clothes on her knees, "Na, I've been busy with these days, the old lady of Jiafu, the eldest lady, the second lady, the third wife, and Jia Zhen, each with a set of clothes, shoes and socks, can I not be busy?"
Zhen Wanyi said curiously: "How did you change your personality and become so virtuous? Every master of Jiafu has a set of clothes, shoes and socks? Aren't they all just shoes and socks, why do you even wrap up your clothes?"
Zhen Wenyi glanced at Zhen Wanyi reproachfully, thinking that it wasn't your identity that had been uncertain, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart before she thought about doing a little more to please the people in Jiafu, "The rules of Jiafu are big, and these are all things that new daughters-in-law have to do." Fortunately, only the eldest lady and Jia Zhen didn't do it, and it can be done after a while. ”
Zhen Wanyi sighed, "This Jia Mansion has such a big rule? The bride has to cook for the first three months, won't their family have to abide by it, right? You want to cook?" Zhen Wanyi was extremely skeptical, could Zhen Wenyi make a table of meals?
Zhen Wenyi directly sent it over with a roll of eyes, "There are a few young ladies like you who do it yourself, and Chu Xia's cooking skills are quite acceptable after two years of learning." ”
"You've got to learn something real. Zhen Wanyi is extremely helpless, this Zhen Wenyi looks at a smart person, but there is only three points of heat in learning anything, and she feels that it is enough to learn a half-baked job, such as female red, tea art, and even more so, in her words, as long as she can distinguish firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, tea, it seems that she has only spent some effort on practicing calligraphy, which is the longest persistence, and the words are passable.
"Okay, I'm good enough, haven't you seen Jia Yan, that's what you call ten fingers not touching the spring water, Jia Yan said, their ladies in the capital don't go into the kitchen at all, and they don't have so many rules in our south, they often go to run horses and play polo together, Ninth Sister, you have been in the capital for two, is what Jia Yan said true?" After speaking, she opened her big eyes and met Zhen Wanyi.
Zhen Wanyi thought about it crookedly, "Not necessarily, although the ladies in the capital are a little freer than us, but the ones who can really do what you said are still a few ladies in the mansions, you only look at my sixth sister-in-law, what kind of female celebrity cooking skills are not good? ”
Zhen Wenyi looked at Zhen Wanyi in surprise, "I can't see that you have learned a lot of things on this trip to the capital, and you can say such profound words." ”
Zhen Wanyi glanced at her, "What's this, if you think about it, you can understand why Prince Jin gave his cousin a side concubine, but married the daughter of Duke Anguo as a concubine, it is not a decision under trade-off." So those high-ranking ladies looked at the flowers, but they didn't know how many bitter tears there were. ”
Zhen Wenyi sneered, "No matter how many bitter tears they have, they can have more than ours, and our flowers haven't been brocade yet." Seeing Zhen Wanyi's disapproving look, she added, "Of course, you are not included in the scope of what I said, you are an outlier." ”
"What is different and not different, I just think that it is good to live a simple life, and it is easy to lose nature if you have too much desire. ”
Zhen Wenyi doesn't want to talk about it anymore, every time she talks about this topic, she will always have a resentment in her heart, who doesn't want to live a simple life, but she also wants that life, if she is a serious Miss Zhen Fuyan, her parents only spoil her, and her brothers let her everywhere, she can naturally do less and have less desires. It's a pity that she didn't grow up in that kind of honey pot, and she has to fight for everything she wants, so she knows since she was a child that life is impossible to live simply.
"Okay, my good ninth sister, now your eighth sister and I are going to run for the simple days you said, I hope to exchange these for this. Therefore, for the sake of my sister's simple days in the future, I have to continue to be busy if I trouble the ninth sister to move back to Yunyi Building. ”
Zhen Wanyi smiled and let Cherry hug a dozen plain white handkerchiefs, "I'll take these handkerchiefs back and embroider them for you, and I'll send them over when they're ready." ”
Zhen Wenyi hurriedly said: "There are a lot of people in your room, embroider more purses for me, and don't stick to the material patterns, the New Year is coming soon, and you will get a lot of purses for rewarding." ”
"You're not at all polite in calling me aware. Having said that, I didn't refuse in the end, and I got busy when I returned to Yunyi Building.
Before Zhen Wenyi got on the sedan chair, a letter came from the capital, and two letters arrived before and after, one was written by Zhen Mingjie and his wife, and the other was written by Qi Rong.
The meaning of the two letters is roughly the same, talking about the current situation in the capital, saying that Qi Rong has done a good job in the south and has received a large number of rewards from His Majesty, and the last news is that the entire Zhen Mansion has lost its words. His Majesty gave Prince Rong a marriage, one is Sun Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Chengguo, and the other is Hong Xiangyu, the daughter of the British Duke, both of whom are side concubines.
Qi Rong's letter didn't say this, but Hu Dahai came in person and pulled two carriages of gifts. It's just that the fourth wife who read the letter couldn't smile when she faced Hu Dahai.
Hu Dahai didn't see more and more calm for half a year, and he had the style of a general in his actions and words, but he didn't change his complexion, and he didn't hurry and said: "Mrs. and Miss Nine don't be in a hurry, this time the prince did a mission to arrest many corrupt officials, but in the end, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally only did two people, just one of these two people is a subordinate of King Jin, and the other is a person from King Ning, His Majesty is also satisfied with this, saying that the prince is a rare fair and clear man, and he went to the filthy wind in the south and gave many rewards. Later, I don't know what happened, and it was rumored in the palace that the prince was not young, and it was time to choose a concubine. So, His Majesty wants to give the prince a marriage again, the prince said that he had made a marriage and didn't agree at first, and then Yi Guifei and the queen both spoke, and the prince couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it, but the concubine can only be Miss Jiu, otherwise he would rather disobey. Concubine Yi still didn't agree, saying that the noble daughter of the main hall of Sun County could not be a side concubine, but His Majesty couldn't resist the prince, so in the end he had to give two county lords as side concubines. ”
The fourth lady frowned after listening to Hu Dahai's explanation, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, and she instructed her subordinates to wait, and asked Mama Mu to send Hu Dahai to the guest room. (To be continued.) )
