Xia Yuye teased her mother and said, "There is no mother-in-law in the world who loves her daughter-in-law more than her mother, and now opening her mouth is how your sister-in-law is." ”

Mrs. Xia's heart is sour. Actually, Mrs. Xia didn't say it, but what she thought in her heart was the same as that of Mrs. Xia, thinking that Zhao Changqing had not been pregnant for more than two years, and the reason for the appointment was that her body was not easy to conceive. But Zhao Changqing said that the imperial doctor had diagnosed him, and Zhao Changqing's body was fine, so which one was the problem? When Mrs. Xia thought of this, she was very sad for her eldest son, and she felt that she couldn't stand Zhao Changqing, and she was naturally more affectionate and friendly to Zhao Changqing. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is a loyal person, and she has a good relationship with her son, and when the second son has a son in the future, if they are willing, it is good to succeed one, and she is not an outsider. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia felt a little relieved, smiled and hugged her daughter in her arms and said, "It can be seen that you have no conscience when you say this, doesn't your sister-in-law love you and give you so many good things." Don't spoil it, just survive. ”

"I know." Xia Yu complained, "Sister Lian goes to me every day, either that she lacks this, or that she lacks that, so I have to pretend not to hear." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Xia told her daughter, "We are not so stingy, but we can't give everything to others." "The key is that you give, people don't necessarily appreciate it, but take it for granted.

Mrs. Xia also quieted down for a while, and she didn't even say anything about Zhao Changqing inviting Mr. Xia Yu to him.

Mrs. Xia praised Zhao Changqing, "There is no sister-in-law who loves my sister-in-law like this, I didn't expect it, and my daughter-in-law took care of it." He also said to Aunt Xia very generously, "If Sister Lian likes it, study with Sister Yu together, and the little sister will be a companion." "That Mr. Zhuang heard that he has a small reputation in the imperial capital, and his daughter-in-law paid a lot of money to invite him, and he had to have two meat and two vegetarian exquisite side dishes for each meal, and he had to be served by a little maid.

Of course, it can't be compared with Mr. Su, Mr. Su is the mother of Tanhua, who was in the border city before, and now he will never go out to be a female gentleman to anyone's family.

Mr. Su was preparing for the dowry, and Zhao Changqing went over to help.

Su Bai has already gone to Qi's house to meet the daughter of the Qi family, with Su Bai's appearance and character, the long-eyed are happy, the two families have changed the Geng post, count the auspicious day, and the marriage will be in early June. It's just that Mrs. Qisan, the mother-in-law, was a little worried, and said to her husband, "Tejun." ”

Qi Shilang said, "That is, you women, just look at the appearance, the embroidered pillow is good-looking, what's the use?" A belly of straw bales. You take a look at the splendid article of Tanhua to know what it means to be full of learning. ”

Mrs. Qi San said, "I can't read the splendid article, and you don't have to ask me to read it." After a pause, he quietly asked his husband, "The son-in-law is outside, isn't he such a romantic person?" "Those who look crooked and inferior are not in sight, this is not possible. But people are good-looking, and people are not very reassured. Oh my God, Mrs. Qi San had never seen Su Bai before, and when she saw it this time, she blamed Su Bai for being smelly and beautiful, so she deliberately dressed up. He just doesn't dress up, and he stands out from the crowd in the pile, not to mention that after dressing up, it is really brilliant. The whole person seems to be glowing, and a casual stop is the focus of attention. Mrs. Qi San thought about it, and she was very satisfied with her clear eyebrows, but unexpectedly, Su Zijun's earth-shattering attitude made Mrs. Qi San hesitate in her heart.

Qi Shilang said, "Didn't you say that your son-in-law doesn't even have a connecting room at home?" ”

"I mean outside." Mrs. Qi San emphasized.

Only then did Qi Shilang understand what the old wife meant, and said, "Can I find that kind of unreliable son-in-law for my daughter?" is to be born more romantic, but not to be romantic. ”

After many years of husband and wife, Mrs. Qi San thought that her husband must have inquired and smiled, "That's good, that's good, Mr. Su is also a very reasonable person." ”

Qi Shilang was helpless, "What's wrong with you, Geng Ti has changed, seeing that the Su family is about to come to hire, you say that there are no these." ”

"I don't know, it's just that my heart is always messed up."

Qi Shilang thought that the temper of the old wife in the past two years was not worse day by day, and the imperial doctor had nothing wrong with it, but he just wanted to drink some decoction to calm his mind. Fortunately, she is also at the age of being a grandmother, and the younger generations in the family are coaxing, and Qi Shilang is also letting some of them. Qi Shilang said, "Tell you something, and your heart will not be messed up." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Alas, if it weren't for our family's quick start, the Su family's family would have been robbed and almost robbed."

"Who?" Mrs. Qi San's old heart suddenly became confused, and asked, "Who can rob our family's peace?" Mrs. Qi San said this out of self-confidence, although the family is not a branch of the Guogong Mansion, but her husband is a member of the Sanpin, and the high-ranking officials are really poor. Although Su Bai was born in Tanhua, their Qi family is also a rare good family in the imperial capital.

Qi Shilang said, "Yong'an Hou also took a fancy to Su Tanhua, just one step slower than our family." ”

"The eldest girl of his family originally wanted to tell the second son of Song Houye, but it seems that this family affair has not been completed." Hearing that it was the Yong'an Hou Mansion, Mrs. Qi San still felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, we said it early." ”

Qi Shilang said, "It can also be seen that the Su family is a trustworthy person." "The Marquis of Yong'an's Mansion is a family of lords, and the Marquis of Yong'an himself is not a face melon, if you really want to compare, Qi Shilang is not very confident.

Mrs. Qi San raised her eyebrows, "Didn't the Yong'an Hou Mansion ask someone to mention it to Mr. Su?" ”

Qi Shilang smiled, "I don't know how many people inquire about my son-in-law, and there are a few good families." Mr. Su politely refused after seeing our sister, and did not pick the poor and pick up the rich, and then make other plans. Don't worry, I think the Su family has a good character. "Choosing a son-in-law, of course it is important for the son-in-law to have the ability, but character is more important. Especially after the incident of the Wu brothers a few years ago, it is really prudent for the wealthy families in the imperial capital to marry, so as not to be like the Marquis of Song, who played with eagles all his life, was pecked by the eagle, and chose a thief to be a son-in-law for the eldest daughter. Of course, the road can't be stopped, Song Hou Ye is a legendary figure in his own right, and what's more, he also gave birth to a legendary daughter. Therefore, in the face of the thief, he can be unscathed, and in the next few years, the Song family is even more above the clouds, and the Song girl who has been married to the thief is directly in the middle palace, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, the wife of the whole emperor who is of enough grade will go to Fengyi Palace to ask the queen for peace.

Qi Shilang is deeply aware that he does not have the ability of the Marquis of Song, and his daughter is naturally not as good as Queen Song. The Song family was pecked in the eye and was able to survive, but he didn't think he had such good luck. Therefore, in the matter of choosing a son-in-law for his daughter, Qi Shilang was extremely cautious and had carefully inspected the Su family. The Su family is indeed innocent, and he has been a female gentleman in the Zhao family in the border city for more than ten years, which is Mr. Su himself, and in terms of conduct, there are many admirable points. The Zhao family, the ancestors have been from the border city for generations, and Zhao Anren is Mr. Su's student. Zhao Anren married the Xia family in Shuzhong, Xia Wen is a Jinshi today, and has been elected to Hanlin.

It's all the same, it's clear.

Qi Shilang dared to tell his daughter to the Su family.

Qi Shilang asked, "How is the daughter's dowry prepared?" ”

Mrs. Qi San smiled, "You can rest assured that she started saving when she was a child, the Su family has already cleaned up the house, and sent someone to take a look, the extremely spacious yard has been measured, and this is the furniture." There are also silk and satin cloths, rouge gouache, herbs and spices, which are to be prepared ready, and I have ordered the steward to buy them. In addition, I gave my sister a few more pieces of fashionable jewelry. ”

Qi Shilang just listened to it and nodded, "Tell my sister-in-law more, you must be filial to Mr. Su when you marry, and your son-in-law is a filial person." ”

"I don't know this, I told her a long time ago." Mrs. Qi San chattered, "The coat to wear for the marriage ceremony has been made, I don't know who the Su family will invite to make the decision?" "Su Tanhua itself is not picky, it is Mr. Su, and Mrs. Qi San are also very compatible, but it is the same, the Su family itself is really thin. The things of the world are perfect. There is no need for persuasion, Mrs. Qi San smiled, and felt that she was too demanding.

The person invited by the Su family is not an outsider, but it is a little unexpected - Mrs. Zheng Yushi.

The person who does this must first be a blessed person, which means that a person who has both parents and children, especially if he does not have a daughter, he must have a son. Mrs. Zheng was invited, and she was very happy, after all, she and Mr. Su were old acquaintances in the border city, and this was a great joy.

Mrs. Zheng specially made a new dress, and Zheng Miaoying, Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Xia, and the Yuan family all went together.

In fact, the ceremony is very simple, it is nothing more than the exchange of marriage letters between the two families, and then Mrs. Zheng, the Quanfu person, will put one or two pieces of jewelry on Miss Qi. At that time, people paid a lot of attention to the dowry, the first item was the dowry, but there were no strict regulations, more to give, less to give. However, generally speaking, the woman will double the amount of dowry given by the man. Like Mr. Su, the Qi family will not exceed 10,000 taels of dowry, and the dowry is 2888 taels, and there are four sets of head jewelry, one set of gold, one set of precious stones, one set of white jade, and one set of jade. This is the most valuable thing, and the bride gold jewelry adds up to five thousand taels. In addition, tea and wine, cakes, seafood, three livestock, fish, coconut, fruit, four-color sugar, sesame, sticker box, incense cannon, bucket two rice, silk, etc., are also high-end goods.

Even if Mrs. Qi San, who guessed that the Su family had some family assets, she felt that it was not thin when she saw this dowry, the Su family had just bought a house, and she really didn't expect to be able to come up with such a rich bride price. Although she didn't have much expectations for the Su family, with such a generous dowry, Mrs. Qi San was unexpectedly happy, and felt that she was more able to raise her eyebrows in front of her clansmen and relatives.

Also, this Quanfu person is looking for a decent enough Mrs. Yushi of the three products. Because Zheng Yushi is famous for his iron face, there are very few people who have good friends, and Mrs. Zheng is still the first time to be a Quanfu person. But because of this, Mrs. Qi San felt that the Su family must have a good relationship with the Zheng family, so she was able to invite the iron-faced and selfless wife of Lord Zheng to be a Quanfu person.

Of course, on the big day of hiring, Su Bai, the prospective son-in-law, naturally got it. However, his main task is to accompany his father-in-law, uncle, clansmen and relatives to eat and drink. The Qi family has a large population, and Qi Shilang has a lot of status in the clan, Qi Guogong came to take a look, and saw that the son-in-law of the clan brother was well chosen, and he had a good fight. Fortunately, Mrs. Qi didn't hear this, but if she heard it, she could really smack her husband's face. In the past few years when Song Jiarang took his wife and children without any news, Mrs. Qi complained a lot.

Su Bai grew up in the border city since he was a child, and he was very touched by the boldness of the men in the border city, although the amount of alcohol was limited, he also came to do it one by one. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and first drank a bowl of hangover decoction, but as a result, people are not as good as heaven, and the old people of the Qi family mentioned it, and Rao is Su Bai was prepared, and he also drank and lay down. The Qi family looked for a house to settle their son-in-law with a smile and a proper maid to serve in the house.

Therefore, it is quite simple in Su Bai's impression that he first drank wine, and then slept at his father-in-law's house, and the kiss was settled.

Mrs. Qi San looked at him quite lovingly, and asked someone to bring him a sweet and sour decanting soup to drink, and said kindly, "Eat two more dim sum, I heard that you didn't eat much." Your eldest brother is also sloppy, telling you to drink on an empty stomach, okay? Feeling sick in your stomach? ”

Su Bai was born as a noble son, and he studied well, but in fact he didn't have any noble son education, he grew up by his mother since he was a child, and he was close to his brothers, Zhao Changning is a sincere person, in addition, there are really few honest people, even the seemingly honest pear fruit, and it is also an old idea. Therefore, Su Bai also gave birth to the appearance of a noble son, and his heart has nothing to do with the noble son. I saw him smile shamelessly at the age of twenty, and his voice was gentle and clear, "Don't blame the eldest brother, on such a happy day, there are relatives toasting, how can you not drink it?" The cup in the imperial capital is still small, and in our border city, they all take bowls to salute, that is, I haven't practiced too well in this amount of wine. As he spoke, he was ashamed again.

Such a handsome young man, smiling so shyly at you, the maternal factor in Mrs. Qi San's body boiled, and she loved Su's son-in-law very much.

Su Bai ate snacks and drank tea like this, and by the way, she was ashamed to accompany her husband and mother, and when the time came, she took the woman's gift and returned home with Mrs. Zheng and others.

Mrs. Zheng's mother and daughter, Mrs. Xia, Zhao Changqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even the Yuan family, all went as relatives of the man, otherwise the Su family would be too cold and not good-looking. Mr. Su ordered Yahuan to serve tea, and seeing Su Bai's flushed appearance, he asked with a smile, "Is the Qi family still lively?" ”

Su Bai smiled, "I'm dizzy from drinking, and the yard is full of relatives." ”

Xia Wen has experience and smiled, "You have to practice hard, this is the marriage, you have to get married, and you have to drink from morning to night." "The marriage wine is a little more reserved, and the joy wine when getting married is different, it is really pulling the death pour, and how many people can't get into the room on the night of marriage.

Su Bai said two words with him, thanked Mrs. Zheng and several female elders, and invited Xia Wen and others to go to his courtyard to speak, the female dependents were still in Mr. Su's courtyard, Mrs. Zheng was also a mother, and she told Mr. Su about the marriage situation in great detail, and solemnly handed the marriage letter to Mr. Su. Mr. Su opened it and looked at it, there was an indescribable look on his face, and he sighed softly for a long time.

This sigh, for some reason, made everyone's hearts sour.

Mrs. Xia said on the road, "Mr. Su is also bittersweet." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and did not speak. Or many people feel that Su Bai has a chance, and Mr. Su is bitter. Zhao Changqing doesn't think so, the definition of bitterness and sweetness is actually never in the eyes of the world, only in his own heart.

As soon as Xia Wen arrived home with his wife, he listened to the porter's reply: Uncle Liu and Grandma Liu are here.

Zhao Changqing thought about it for a long time and didn't think that the Xia family still had relatives surnamed Liu, Mrs. Xia Wen Xia was also confused, Xia Wen was still young, and her brain was faster, so she patted her head, "It's the cousin and cousin-in-law of the Yang family who are here." ”

Mrs. Xia thought about it and smiled, "Look at me, I forgot about it, but it's not them." ”

Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing explained, "Do you remember the cousin of my aunt's family? ”

If you want to talk about the cousin of the Yang family, the only thing Zhao Changqing knows is the cousin of the Yang family who was married to Xia Wen before, and was later seen by the prince of Shu to go to the palace and returned home.

Xia Wen said softly, "Last year, Cousin Yang married a widowed Liu Juren in Emei County. Liu Juren came to spring for some reason, and this is the cousin and cousin-in-law who came. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's unfortunate, let's go out to eat and drink today, wouldn't we snub my cousin and cousin-in-law." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "It's not an outsider, it's okay." "I can see that I have no worries about the past.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said no more. The husband and wife accompanied Mrs. Xia to Basho Courtyard, and Zhao Changqing called Yongfu over to ask about the placement of the Yang family and his wife. Yongfu said, "Mrs. and grandma are not at home, Grandma Yang has seen the old lady, and the slave and maid advocate without authorization, please ask Uncle Yang and Grandma Yang to be temporarily placed in Guixiangyuan." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's good." He also explained to Mrs. Xia, "That Guixiang Courtyard was originally prepared for those who had relatives and friends to come and stay for a long time. In the past, I didn't plant osmanthus, I thought, I lived in my aunt's house with Xianggong, there was an osmanthus tree in the yard, and Xianggong lived for more than half a year. The aroma of osmanthus is also good, so I bought two old osmanthus trees and planted them. My cousin-in-law is a scholar, so doesn't he live in that yard? ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "Yes." He said to his son and daughter-in-law, "Go and change your clothes first, and then come over after a short rest." In a moment, I will invite them and their husbands to come and talk, and you will meet as well. ”

The two went back to their room.

Zhao Changqing couldn't help but ask Xia Wen, "My cousin-in-law is a lifter, why didn't he participate in the Spring Festival this year?" ”

Xia Wendao, "I went home and listened to my mother, my cousin originally went to marry the little aunt of the Yang family in Emei County to relax, Emei is full of mountains, and my cousin went to the mountains with the little aunt of the Yang family to incense, and met my cousin-in-law. At that time, my cousin-in-law was preparing to come to the imperial capital to prepare for the Spring Festival, and he went to the temple to pray for a good future, but he accidentally broke his leg, and he couldn't get up, so he missed a subject. The frustration in the science field and the triumph in the love field contributed to a marriage. ”

Zhao Changqing said in his heart, it seems that this Cousin Yang's marriage came from a chance encounter.

Zhao Changqing continued, "I don't mean anything else when I say this, I was thinking that when we first returned to Shuzhong before, my wife still couldn't let go of her cousin's affairs. ”

Xia Wen sighed, also helpless, "They are all relatives, what can I do?" My aunt was born with a first-class snobbish heart. But there are cousins and cousins, and uncles and grandmothers, who persuade them to make peace...... Let's be confused. "Who doesn't have a few bad relatives.

Zhao Changqing stuffed a piece of incense into his mouth and smiled, "Take the smell of wine in your mouth, don't smoke your cousin-in-law." ”

Xia Wen was a little drunk, held Zhao Changqing's hand, leaned into her tender white ear and whispered, "Do I stink?" Does it stink? ”

"...... in broad daylight" Zhao Changqing pushed Xia Wen away slightly, and said angrily, "Ah Wending, why do you drink so much?" ”

"My God, didn't you see the large group of relatives of the Qi family, Ah Bai also drank a decoction of sobering wine before he went, we helped him block the wine, and he also drank it on the ground. As soon as he fell, the Qi family felt sorry for their son-in-law, and immediately carried him to sleep in the house, and there was a maid to serve. We didn't fall to the ground, so we went outside and continued to drink. Xia Wen said, "Cousin Teng and Ah Qing drank a lot, as well as Ah Tang and San Lang, they rode horses when they went, and when they came out, they hired a sedan chair, I'm afraid they couldn't get on a drunk horse." ”

Zhao Changqing listened to it happily, and the husband and wife fought for a while, because they knew that they were going to see their relatives, they packed up and went to Mrs. Xia's courtyard.

Xia Yu had already arrived, and was inquiring about the marriage ceremony with her mother, when she saw her brother and sister-in-law get up to say hello. Xia Yu smiled, "Not long after my mother and sisters-in-law left, my cousin and they came. Sister-in-law, this is the first time you've seen your cousin, right? ”

"yes."

Zhao Changqing only heard of Yang Yufu and did not see her, even if she arrived in Shuzhong, it seemed that she had a chance to meet, and she had never been able to see this Yang girl.

Today, for the first time.

Zhao Changqing felt that if he could be directly brought to the Shu Palace, Miss Yang would not be idle. When he really saw Yang Yufu, Zhao Changqing was slightly disappointed with her appearance, but he felt reasonable that she was taken by the prince of Shu at a glance.

Speaking from the heart, Yang Yufu's appearance is not stunning, but her unique, extremely rich, woman's quiet and gentle temperament makes her look like a melting spring water in the moonlight.

In addition to their own appearance, many women are actually hostile to women's beauty. But Yang Yufu's beauty makes women like it.

This is really a beauty, Zhao Changqing thought.
