Hao Cheng slept enough, got up overnight to draw up a list, and hollowed out his mind, wanting to use the wisdom of modern people to give Jiang Mengzhen a beautiful marriage.
After drawing up the list, she prepared to come to the door to propose marriage according to the precautions that Jiang Mengzhen had listed for her before.
Seeing her go out, the housekeeper Li Yue greeted her: "Are you preparing to go to the Lin family to propose marriage?"
Hao Cheng nodded, a little surprised: "How did you know?"
She smiled and said, "These Jiang masters have ordered it before. There are many rules in the family, he is afraid that you will not take care of it, if you don't mind, this matter can be handled by me. ”
Hao Cheng cares about marriage, and Jiang Mengzhen cares more than her. There are many trivial things to get married, and Hao Cheng is new to it, so it is inevitable that he doesn't know about these things. He specially arranged a Li Yue, just because Li Yue was proficient in the etiquette of the Jin Kingdom and couldn't get out of the chaos.
Hao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "There is a housekeeper over there, if there is anything I need to do, or if I do it, it will make the newlywed man be respected and make him feel faced, just tell me, I will definitely do my best."
When the Jin Kingdom gets married, unless the man's relatives are all dead, there must be a respected elder as a witness. This witness doesn't have to be his parents, so Jiang Mengzhen chose Old Man Lin from the beginning, rather than letting Hao Cheng go to Jiang's house to ask for marriage.
She wanted to ask why, but Jiang Mengzhen left the note in a hurry. After arriving in the capital, it was not easy for her to meet Jiang Mengzhen before marriage. Thinking about it, he said that he had a bad relationship with his stepfather, and finally hesitated, but decided to go to Jiang Mengzhen's grandfather Lin's house according to Jiang Mengzhen's request.
The servants of the Lin family saw her come to propose, and listened to her name, but they didn't make it difficult for them to do much, and let him in very respectfully.
I don't know if Jiang Mengzhen has done it, when Hao Cheng carried the wild goose to ask for marriage according to etiquette. There was hardly any trouble. It's just one thing, Jiang Mengzhen's grandfather looks a little fierce, and his eyes are strange.
In accordance with the highest etiquette said by Steward Li, she knelt down on one knee in front of Old Man Lin and expressed her determination: "I, Hao Cheng, sincerely ask to marry Ling Sun, and I also swear that I will never disappoint him in the future, and I ask you to promise this marriage." ”
She held it high, but the other party kept silent. Hao Cheng waited for a long time, and he thought that the other party was going to disagree.
Old Man Lin coughed, put down the rosary that had been rubbing for a long time in his hand, and still took the wedding post: "I agree to this marriage."
Hao Cheng immediately smiled, and Old Man Lin said again: "Don't be too happy, if it's not good for my grandson, he won't care about you, and my Lin family will never let you go."
Although he said this, if he agreed, it meant that the matter was done, and the curvature of the corner of Hao Cheng's mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Please rest assured that grandpa will not let Meng Zhen have an unsatisfactory day!"
Old Man Lin knocked on her back with a cane: "Who is your grandfather, Meng Lang!"
He didn't use his hand too hard, Hao Cheng immediately followed his old man's movements and made a painful appearance. Although it was really a little painful, she still couldn't suppress her eyebrows and eyes, and she was smiling. Marrying someone's beloved junior back will inevitably have to suffer a little. Thinking about it, Jiang Mengzhen will be her person in the future, and her pain is nothing.
When Old Man Lin saw her like this, he sat back and let her out. Anyway, he is old and can't control the juniors, so he still follows Jiang Mengzhen's thoughts, he has great ability, and the young junior in front of him looks like a pure-minded person who can manage it.
Hao Cheng carefully came back with the Geng post with Jiang Mengzhen's birthday written on it, feeling that he was walking lightly.
When she remembered the dowry, she fell back to the ground from the ethereal clouds.
The wedding dress and the like are the responsibility of the bride, and she is not easy to manage from this. What kind of rare antique calligraphy and paintings, anything that can make those princes and nobles look at it, basically have to burn money, or a lot of money, she has so much silver in her hand, and she can't afford it. If you want to take Jiang Mengzhen's money to give him a dowry, it would be too unreasonable.
According to Jiang Mengzhen's words, the later it is, the easier it is to make trouble. After discussing with the Lin family, she chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, pinched her fingers and calculated, and the marriage was scheduled for a month later.
The purchase of those items, and the quantity, were all handled by the housekeeper Li Yue. But she will come over to report when she does a good job, because Hao Cheng ordered that she should take a look at it in person, and it must be that both of them will like it.
However, seeing that the days are approaching day by day, the treasury of the house has added one after another with wedding celebrations. The plaque of this house "Hao Mansion" was ready and hung on the door, but she still didn't come up with a good idea to surprise the four seats.
Half a month before the wedding, she inspected the various cellars of the house, and in a flash of inspiration, she finally came up with a plan.
Hao Cheng couldn't meet Jiang Mengzhen before marriage, but Hao Cheng's daily routine would always be written in the form of a letter and sent to Jiang Mengzhen.
Old Man Wei waited for Chu Hanqing to come back to give him good news, but the child was gone, and when Jiang Mengzhen was busy with the newlywed every day, he even wrote a wedding post by himself, inviting some powerful people with high moral standing and respected status to come to his second wedding.
Old Man Wei had no intimate person around him, and he was waiting for the news in a hurry, and there were several big bubbles on his mouth.
He had been staying in his own yard, unwilling to provoke the poisonous man. But waiting for death every day is not a big deal. He immediately carried a pear wood cane, let a few small servants wait, and hugged him out of the courtyard door.
As soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Mengzhen's annoying face, obviously an old man who was almost thirty, and he didn't know if it was because of the nourishment of love, Jiang Mengzhen looked even more beautiful than when he first entered the mansion.
Old lady Wei was jealous in her heart, so she raised her crutch at the beginning, pointed at Jiang Mengzhen and said: "You poisonous husband, my nephew is so well-behaved, he went to Fuyuan Temple to pray for me, where did you get him." ”
He raised his cane, and immediately someone snatched the object in his hand, and the guards also gathered in front of Jiang Mengzhen, as if they were afraid that this old lady would suddenly pounce on him and beat someone.
Old lady Wei was afraid of Jiang Mengzhen, but she refused to admit defeat, and she wanted to leave a few cruel words at every turn to show her authority in this mansion. But anyone who has been in this mansion for a long time knows that this old man is just a paper tiger, and it is Jiang Mengzhen who is really in charge.
At the beginning, no one asked Jiang Mengzhen why he wanted to keep such an old lady, he just smiled and said: "People are sometimes more painful than dead when they are alive, and I am very happy to see him, he obviously hates me to death, but he is afraid that I will not be able to beat me." ”
Jiang Mengzhen was in a good mood, but he didn't care about Old Lady Wei's offense, and said with a smile: "You wait, when my wedding is over in a few days, he will naturally come back." I'll take the letter for you, you can rest for your life, but don't give yourself a sick life, then you can only be sick in bed, and I will marry again, so I can't serve you. ”
Old Lady Wei was so angry with him that her whole body trembled, yes! He knows it all, he sees it all! From beginning to end, everything he did was controlled by Jiang Mengzhen. Sending the letter out, in Jiang Mengzhen's eyes, is just a joke.
He originally thought that he was a hunter, and no matter how capable Jiang Mengzhen was, he was just a little white rabbit who let him grind, and happily let him enter the Wei Mansion. Who knew that this was a poisonous snake in rabbit skin! first unguarded him, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to bite him. This highly venomous snake, every time he bites it, he hurts his heart, cutting his flesh and breaking his arm, but Jiang Mengzhen still refuses to let him go.
If you don't kill him, you torture him, and let him live in this world for a long time.
Jiang Mengzhen really knows him too well, he has everything he has, but he is waiting for him in fine clothes, obviously he is the one who miserably killed him, but outside, Jiang Mengzhen still has a good reputation for affection and filial piety.
Even his nephew Chu Hanqing is also Jiang Mengzhen's person, and he doesn't know that Chu Hanqing is unreliable, but Jiang Mengzhen has already transferred all the reliable people around him, he has no one available, who can he rely on.
Sometimes he wished that he was the one who died. But he is really going to die, and he is greedy for the benefits of this world, so he can only live in fear all day long.
What does Old Man Wei think, Jiang Meng is really too lazy to care, anyway, he is almost tossed by such a person. His request was that the man could not die until he was married. Otherwise, although he can marry as long as he observes 49 days of filial piety, this is always unlucky for marriage.
The closer the wedding date, the more nervous he became. The next person said that Hao Cheng brought a lot of ice stored in the winter, and said that he would personally organize a banquet for guests.
I spent a few hours a day in my room, and I didn't let anyone into my room. Jiang Meng was really curious, but considering Hao Cheng's emotions, he still ordered his subordinates not to sneak in to see it in disregard of Hao Cheng's wishes.
After being separated for such a long time, although he missed Hao Cheng very much, he couldn't rush over to see her, because there was a saying in the Jin Kingdom that if a man and a woman meet a month before marriage, the marriage will be unsatisfactory.
Originally, he didn't believe this, but the more he paid attention to it, the more he believed it. For fear that a trace of bad luck will be contaminated, causing this precious marriage to become unsatisfactory.
One anxiously waiting, one in the room concentrating on completing his own work. Red lanterns are hung all over the Hao Mansion, and red double happiness and window grilles representing festivity are also pasted on the window lattices.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Hao Cheng finally finished his work, put on a tailor-made wedding dress, and was tossed and dressed by Xigong for more than half an hour before stepping onto the high-headed horse and going to the Wei family's mansion to marry her new bride. 166 Reading Network
