Chapter 260: The Dowry Box
In the early spring, it always passed very quickly, and the filial piety period of the parents was born, and the marriage between Fei Yuan and Yu Xiaofei was decided not long after. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's probably because Cui's is laughing in it, and there is no ripple in this family affair, Yu Xiaofei immediately became the wife of the Hou Shizi of Pingcheng, and Cui's face is always full of light whenever he mentions it.
Yu Xiaofei's marriage date should have nothing to do with Xiaoling, but Fei Yuan is old, and Yu Xiaofei is not small among the girls.
In this way, the Yu family married off both sisters at this age.
Yu Xiaoling's wedding date was set by Qin Tian in October, but Yu Qingyang pondered that the marriage date of the two sisters was staggered for some reason, since they got married in the same year, the younger sister ran in front of the elder sister, which is really incompatible with etiquette.
Besides, Yu Qingyang always felt that her daughter was still young, and she was reluctant to marry her so early, so keeping her would make her daughter more expensive.
So with a stroke of his pen, he wrote a letter to Xu Pan and handed it over, saying that he wanted to postpone the wedding date until the spring of next year.
Xu Pan looked at it and immediately glared.
He thought about how many years that person had been, from the northwest to the capital, from the beginning to the end of the Yu family's filial piety, he was so anxious that he couldn't finish the marriage this summer, but Yu Qingyang still asked him to push it until next year.
How did he endure this lovesickness for a full year?
He is always worried about long nights and dreams, although he is considered his person if he decides to be married, but he still feels that he will marry home first no matter what, and put it in front of him to feel more at ease.
Of course, Xu Pan couldn't directly say that he was unwilling with Yu Qingyang, he only deduced that Qin Tianjian still had to calculate it, but he met Fei Yuan on the road one day.
He pulled Fei Yuan to drink back, and when Fei Yuan returned home in the evening, he said something to Pingcheng Hou. On the second day, Cui's family received the meaning of the Pingcheng Marquis Mansion, saying that he had invited Qintian to supervise the accountant, saying that Fei Yuan's wedding with Xiaofei was the best in September, and if he missed it, he would have to wait another year.
Of course, the Heisei Marquis Mansion can't wait, Fei Yuan is an only son, if he wants to postpone it, then he has to give Fei Yuan a concubine first, and the branches are scattered.
Of course, Cui's mother and daughter would not agree to Fei Yuan's concubine before they got married. Thinking that by the end of September, there is still half a year to do, although it is too urgent, it is much better than taking a concubine.
So Cui Shi gritted his teeth and responded.
The matter of the wedding period came full circle, and it turned back to Yu Qingyang.
He was really shocked when he heard that Yu Xiaofei and Fei Yuan had set a wedding date in September, but Cui's agreed, and he had nothing to say. So when Xu Pan told him again that Qin Tianjian still insisted on the original marriage date, Yu Qingyang nodded, and he didn't say anything else.
Xu Pan settled down here, and every day he got off the yaya to supervise the cleaning of the main courtyard of Zhongqinbo's mansion, and he was never tired of it, and then quietly waited for the arrival of October.
In contrast, Cui Shi of Jinglian Garden had a circle of bubbles at the corner of his mouth worried.
The wedding date has been advanced, and the dowry that the Marquis of Pingcheng wants has not yet been settled, although she has prepared many family items for Yu Xiaofei in advance, but those are prepared according to Yu Xiaofei's marriage to the usual scholar's house, and now that she is going to marry the Hou Mansion, these things are not enough.
Cheng has naturally faced this problem, but Cheng is different from Cui's, firstly, Xiaoling's marriage was set quite early, and secondly, Cheng's money in his hand is also sufficient.
For example, the forty-eight carved cages of Nan wood set by the Cheng family for Yu Xiaoling before, I was thinking about whether there were more, but now it seems that there are not many of them, plus everyone's belongings, it is not a problem to make seventy-two dowries.
And Cheng was afraid that these cages would be too early and not delicate enough, so he found a craftsman to carve them carefully, added silver coins, and made up twelve cages, so he was afraid that he would not be able to fit Xiao Ling's dowry.
At that time, the cage was full of dowry, and it was carried into the Zhongqin Bo Mansion in a beautiful manner, which was not too much, but it would not lose face.
In comparison, Cui's can be said to be stretched. He just wants time and time, and he wants money and money.
The place next to it is just a mouthful, the most important thing is to carry the dowry, that is to go around half of the capital, and then put it in the Heisei Marquis Mansion for people to see, not decent enough, but to lose the adult.
Cui Shi had no choice, so he had to discuss with his daughter again: "The dowry box cage is the most important, those big pieces of household goods, we have a few pieces that we can handle, it's really not good, first borrow the top of your cousin Yuan's few pieces, but her cage was also played earlier, and it is not enough to put it in the Hou Mansion." Why don't we borrow some silver from your uncle, and make more money out of it, so that we can measure other things?"
Yu Xiaofei frowned when he heard this.
It is said that slow work produces fine work, even if you add money, what is fine?
She was unhappy, her eyebrows were pressed very low, and when she saw Cui's embarrassed face, her heart turned, and she raised her eyebrows suddenly, and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one in Xifu Courtyard?
"That's what your second aunt prepared for Sister Ling'er, where are you willing to lend it to us?" Cui Shi shook his head.
"Then the Xifu Courtyard is not the second aunt's house, how can you not borrow it? As long as the second uncle nods. I think the second uncle can't be partial!" Yu Xiaofei snorted coldly.
Cui Shi thought about it, felt that it was right, had a smile on his face, and said: "What my son said is not bad, your second uncle always returns some affection." Besides, your wedding date is a month earlier than Sister Ling'er, let's just deal with it for a few days, and then pay her back, what's the matter?"
When Cui Shi thought about it, he relaxed and relaxed, but Yu Xiaofei snorted from his nostrils and said, "Don't pay it back yet, let's talk about it separately!"
Cui Shi was shocked by her daughter's words and asked her, "What do I mean by this?"
"What's the point? It's all the daughter of the Yu family, why should I borrow her if she has good things?
Cui's mouth was speechless when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and deliberately persuaded his daughter: "Fei'er ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Xiaofei's scream: "At that time, she was in the Anqin Marquis Mansion, and it was she who made Mrs. Pingcheng Marquis unhappy, and Madame must have to settle this account on my head!
Cui Shi didn't know that there was still this reason in it, she looked back and thought about it a few times, and the Heisei Marquis Mansion looked reluctant, and her heart immediately became clear.
The words of advice immediately dissipated, and she said, "In that case, my mother will go to your second uncle to try." When the time comes, you can find a good excuse, and you will not give them anything, and you will not make a fuss too ugly. Just let them be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and if they can't say anything about their suffering, that's it. ”
