Chapter 43
Time flies quickly, although it is said that Mingzhu wants to embroider the wedding dress himself, in fact, it is just to please a good head, although Mingzhu is famous for being good to the outside world. But under the deliberate cultivation of Mrs. Wuya, her embroidery can still be put on the table. But it is impossible for such a huge project as the wedding dress to be completed by a Manchurian aunt and grandmother in person, so Mingzhu's task is only to embroider the hijab. The pattern doesn't need anything new at all. In order to keep this collaborator who was obviously reluctant to discard, Ruyifang directly sent someone to send a set of joyful wedding dresses with mandarin ducks playing in the water. And the pattern of the hijab is still matching. It is the appearance of a lotus flower.
The Manchurians have been in the customs for so many years, and they have been greatly influenced by the Han people, and even the marriage customs have the meaning of the Han people. So even if you wear a hat, you still have to put on a cover.
Mingzhu was already confused, and after thinking about it for a few nights, she didn't know how to deal with this sudden marriage, so she didn't want to pay attention to anything else. And embroidery is a job that allows people to calm down. So Mingzhu began to ignore the things outside the window and bow her head to embroider the bridal life.
She embroidered very finely, embroidered very seriously, as if she was pouring out her unspeakable thoughts to the hijab, and embroidered very carefully.
In two lifetimes combined, she is only a girl who runs for three, and her young life experience made her mature prematurely, but the difficult life also made her have no time or energy to fall in love again.
This time, I haven't enjoyed the pleasure of being pursued and the breath of love. But he is going to get married, and he is a person who is married for a certain purpose.
Mingzhu's heart is like oil, vinegar, sauce, and sugar poured together, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, and I can't tell what it tastes like for a while. can only turn into chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Mrs. Wu Ya could only sigh silently in her heart as she looked at her daughter, who became more and more silent as the day of marriage approached day by day. This marriage has already become a sure thing, and there will be no more turnarounds and accidents, not to mention that Zhu has made up her mind to marry this person again.
So she also became short of breath with chest tightness. The helplessness can only be turned into spiritual motivation, and the tiger is raising dowries everywhere.
As soon as the annual election passed, a few families were happy and a few were sad, but the day of adding makeup soon came, Wu Ya's family was in decline for too long, and the rise was too fast, although the foundation has been stabilized, but after all, the family foundation is too weak. The nature of Wuya Antai's work determines that his salary is not much, but the rewards are frequent, but most of them are rewarded by the palace, and they can't be given away, so they can only be placed at home for offerings. It was even said that it was given to Mingzhu as a dowry.
In the end, the helpless Mrs. Wu Ya quietly borrowed foreign debts, and then added all the dowry gifts sent by Dai Duo, so that she could help Mingzhu raise a dowry of thirty units. Mrs. Wu Ya was helpless, and felt even more guilty about her little daughter, she supported this family, but she couldn't even raise her dowry. In the end, Mrs. Wuya had no choice but to think that if she couldn't do it, she would put them loosely. Those big heads are placed in a set, so that you can make up a few more.
The ambition in her heart could not be carried out, and Mrs. Wuya languished for a long time.
However, this qiē took a turn for the better on the day of the makeup.
In fact, with Mingzhu's family background, plus marrying an ordinary white dress, there is no need to gather sixty-six dowries, most of the ordinary people are thirty-three, and at most forty-six. So this number is already difficult for the average flag man. It is even said that the Wuya Antai family is already weak.
Therefore, when the relatives and friends who came to add makeup saw the forty-six dowries in this house, they were somewhat shocked in their hearts. Is Mrs. Wu Ya crazy, although marrying a daughter is already important, but she still has an older leftover man's son who has not yet been settled, why doesn't this woman help her son think more.
Although I was surprised, everyone maintained their appearance and demeanor very well. The sound of blessings continued.
The prospects of Wuya Antai's family are good, although the girl is married to a white dress, but the man is a very fortunate house slave of Sibeile. And Wuya Antai is even more incredible, he is the personal guard of the Four Baylors, which has deeply branded the family as belonging to the Four Baylors.
Not to mention that Wu Ya Antai also walked away and was valued by the Queen Mother, Kangxi Ye is a filial person, seeing that Eniang and Wuya Antai get along happily, Eniang's spirit is getting better day by day, and Wuya Antai is frequently rewarded. If it weren't for his own character flaws, maybe he could be transferred to the royal front as a guard.
Therefore, Kangxi Ye also praised the fourth master for his kindness in front of the ministers many times, and he was moody in his early years, and his mean comments were almost washed away. Didn't you see the sour faces of those princes, it can be seen from there that Sibeile is the biggest winner. If it weren't for Sibeile, he would still be honest and obedient in front of the prince and work hard. Maybe he was already disgusted by the prince. Of course, it is inevitable to be soured by the prince.
So there are a lot of people who come to add makeup today, especially a lot. Almost all the people who can set the relationship and set the almost people are coming. The small courtyard was full of people, and the girls were all crowded in Mingzhu's room talking and laughing. The ladies also chatted in the main room, and in the outer courtyard, there was Wuya Antai to entertain those colleagues and relatives.
Even more to make them eat a pound is still to come.
Today is a good day, but not all good days come with holidays. For example, Sibeile still has to go to the palace on an errand. And Kangxi Ye also has to stick to his post.
Wuya Antai got a one-day holiday, and he didn't enter the palace. Originally, the Queen Mother didn't know that today was a good day for the Wuya family. After all, it's just a coat, and it's not enough to make the Queen Mother's old man tired. And Antai has no habit of showing off. So the Queen Mother waited for An Tai to listen to her story on the grassland.
Every time she tells a story under those sparkling eyes full of worship, it makes the Queen Mother feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, but it is much better than those guys who are full of interest on their faces, but they don't think so in their hearts.
There's no denying that Antey is a good listener, as long as the topic you're talking about will interest him.
On this day, the Queen Mother waited left and right, and she couldn't wait for An Tai to report, so she sent a little eunuch to check and found that the fourth child had come to the court. But the personal guard brought Tong Wei. This is okay, before he walked out of the court, he was robbed by the people around the Queen Mother at the gate of the Jinluan Palace.
Leaving a group of dazed ministers and princes around. There are also people who gnash their teeth.
After figuring out the situation, the Queen Mother was angry again, this bear child, don't tell the mourning family about such an important thing. It's not like mourning that the family is your own person. It happened that Concubine De came to visit the Queen Mother with delicious pastries (I just don't know if it was really that coincidental), so it was another chatter.
After venting, the Queen Mother hurriedly found the old lady next to her and said, "Go quickly, find the red hair of the mourning family, and send a little eunuch to send it later, it will be regarded as a makeup gift for the mourning family, oops, no, the mourning family will go to the treasury to find it again, will a set of head noodles be too light~~~"
"The emperor has given a reward, there is no reason for the concubine to be indifferent, after all, it is also a person from the Wuya family, although the concubine has prepared a gift, but it is slightly thin compared with the emperor's mother, then I will add an extra set of warm jade to the head, make up an auspicious one. It's just that the color is not as good as the emperor's best red jade. Concubine De looked at the annoying child lightly, then turned around and followed the queen mother with a smile, but complained in her heart that the fourth child was not a worry-free person, and such an important matter would not be communicated with herself in advance, if it wasn't for the fact that she happened to have something to do with the fourth child, the little eunuch who passed the word happened to see him robbed by the queen mother. That's when I came.
Who knew it would be like this? Fortunately, he came, otherwise he didn't know about the affairs of the Wu Ya family, wouldn't he seem to be interrogated.
No, as soon as her words came out, the Queen Mother smiled and squinted, and pulled herself to the treasury to choose. I've never been treated like this before. No, it should be said that except for Concubine Yi, no one in the palace has enjoyed this treatment at all.
Concubine De helped the old lady to walk in, listening to her babble about some things that were not there. Once again, I felt like I had come to the right place.
Si Beile lowered his eyes, lifted the tea cup and blew it, and drank the tea slowly, without seeing a trace of love.
The banquet is ready, and the makeup ceremony has officially begun. Looking at the makeup cages that are gradually getting fuller. Mrs. Wuya sighed inwardly. Good thing they are. However, today's guests really exceeded their expectations, fortunately, it was a banquet with the restaurant, and a small servant could make up for it with a notice.
However, she was relieved too soon. The morning is full of traffic, and the door is like a city. With a passing word, the makeup gift of the Four Baylor Mansion was delivered. Looking at the boxes one by one, everyone. Looking at the boxes lifted in, everyone was red-eyed.
There was a long stream of people, and it wasn't until the sixteenth box was carried into the house that everyone was eye-opening. I've never seen anyone like this. It seems that these four Baylors value the Wuya Antai family so much, a full sixteen dowries, add it, that is, sixty-two, plus everyone helped to add it, it is possible to get together sixty-six.
These boxes were opened one by one, filling the yard, which was full of all kinds of jewelry and utensils, and the most eye-catching thing was the brick title deed of the box, a brick is an acre of land, such a thick stack, to say the least, there must be fifty or sixty acres. There is also a stack of house deeds and land deeds, which is the rhythm of sending a Zhuangzi.
Wuya Antai's family doesn't have a Zhuangzi yet, and this eldest girl got one when she got married. Tsk~~~ There was another wave of envy and jealousy. Before they could recover from the magnanimity of the Four Baylors, they were once again struck a greater blow and a fatal shock. "Long live the Lord has sent someone, madam, go out quickly to meet you."
