Chapter 69 The Fourth Uncle's Marriage (4)
On the morning of the second day, Chunyu's family went to the old courtyard, but they didn't expect that Qin Caiyu, who had become the fourth aunt, had already gotten up and was busy turning on the stove. But she hadn't done this kind of work, and she didn't know how long it had been since she hadn't even caught fire in the hearth. Chunyu saw that she had changed into a bride's dress, and her hair was combed. It's just that the face of the unpowdered Dai has been stained with some black ash, and the white jade hands are also a lot darker.
Chunyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qin Caiyu's appearance, Aunt Yu, oh no, it's the fourth aunt, I saw her before and she looked like everyone was decent, but now it's like this, and I can't help but feel a little funny.
"You girl, you smile when you see that your fourth aunt is too busy, but she doesn't help." Yang Yuemei pointed her finger on Chunyu's forehead and said. It's just that when she saw the situation of her four siblings, she couldn't help but think of the time when she first got married, and her mother-in-law didn't come to help like this, and she didn't allow her two sisters-in-law to help. Fortunately, although she is the little lady of the Xiucai family, she is also taught by her mother, and the housework is done properly. Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that my mother-in-law also wants to stand up. I didn't let the sisters-in-law come to help, if she helped, I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be angry.
"Dani, you go and help your fourth aunt." Yang Yuemei said that she couldn't help as a sister-in-law, but Dani, as a niece, went to help, and her mother-in-law should have nothing to say.
"I was thinking of helping!" After Chunyu finished speaking, he smiled and went to the stove.
"Fourth aunt, I'll help you make a fire, you just cook, I'm waiting to eat what you cooked!" Chunyu stepped forward and took the burning stick in Qin Caiyu's hand and said with a smile.
"That's a good dare, I'm really out of shape in this stove." Qin Caiyu also said with a smile. Yang Yuemei didn't mean to be unhappy when she looked at her, and her heart was a lot more relieved.
After Chunyu took the burning stick, he only picked two picks in the stove, and then stuffed a handful of dry straw to lead the fire, and the fire soon ignited.
Qin Caiyu saw that she was embarrassed that she was not light on the stove fire spring rain was very light and caged it, when in addition to admiring it, she was secretly determined to do her best to learn, and she was said by her mother-in-law in the future.
After a short period of busyness, soon eight dishes and one soup were served. I have to say that Qin Caiyu's craftsmanship is still good, but breakfast like this in this countryside is a bit extravagant. However, although Li Liu was a little unhappy, he still returned a silver bracelet in his hand to the fourth daughter-in-law when he drank the tea of his new daughter-in-law. Li Tietou also drank tea with a smile and gave the fourth daughter-in-law a red envelope. When it was Li Dajun's turn, Li Dajun also gave a red seal, but there were two taels of silver in it, and Qin Caiyu knew a lot when he took the red seal. and Yang Yuemei also gave a pair of silver lilac earrings. Qin Caiyu was obviously a little embarrassed. Then he gave Xiuzhi tea, and Xiuzhi now has a lot of savings in his hand, so he gave a silver jade scratch. Li Sanjun didn't give a red seal or two this time, and the osmanthus was still the original character and only gave the velvet flower, and Qin Caiyu also took it with a smile. Because the willow branch is a little sister, there is no need to be served tea, and the seal is also saved.
The house has always been filled with a festive atmosphere, and soon it was the third day.
There is a saying in this rural area that the bride opens the box three days after the wedding, and the aunts and aunts in the neighborhood and their relatives and friends all need to prepare things to make offerings. Brothers and sisters, children and nephews also gave gifts. Most of the offerings from these relatives are cotton silk, clothing, shoes and socks.
There are also rich and wealthy families with a large population, and their offerings will be more abundant. Silk, gold, silver, jewelry, and the like, naturally, are not a problem. Qin Caiyu's pressure box is really a lot of things, so that the relatives and friends who came are very envious of the old Li family can get such a daughter-in-law from a big family, not only knowledgeable, but also looks very imposing. This also made Li Liu's little proud, forgetting for the time being that she was very dissatisfied with Qin Caiyu's little feet.
This unpacking ceremony began early in the morning and ended quickly, because the groom had to accompany the bride from her mother-in-law's house to her parents' house.
As soon as Qiē was cleaned up, Li Wujun drove the carriage borrowed from Uncle Guo's family and took Feng Caiyu to the county seat. The gifts are also abundant, home-steamed steamed buns and cakes, eighteen red eggs, one rooster and one hen, as well as a few medium cloths, small silver basins, bowls, chopsticks and other things......
When he arrived at Uncle Qin's house, Qin Zhong came out very enthusiastically to greet his aunt and uncle, and beckoned the newly bought maid to bring in all the gifts.
Because the woman's family also had to make a "homecoming wine" ceremoniously during the return ceremony, Uncle Qin had already asked Qin Zhong to buy things a day in advance. The Qin family is not prosperous, Uncle Qin's parents have passed away a long time ago, and there are only the uncle and the aunt's family above. In addition, there are neighbors nearby, and this wine banquet is quite lively.
During the banquet, Qin Caiyu originally led the groom's official Li Wujun to visit the relatives and friends of the family, but because she had just become a member of the Qin family, she didn't know much about such relatives and friends. So it became her eldest nephew Qin Zhong to introduce him, and he started with the oldest and closest introduction, and then moved on to the farther ones.
The aunts and uncles who were visited either nodded or sat down to each other. There are also peers who return a half-salute, and at the same time, these people also want to reward the groom with a red envelope.
Then the whole family had a lively banquet, and they all talked about trivial matters in the middle. After this qiē was over, Uncle Qin asked Aunt Qin to take out all the things that the daughter's family had prepared for the return gift, and let Qin Zhong send them to the car. The gifts were basically some crown flowers and colorful goose eggs, which were finished in silver and copper jars and sent to Li Wujun's car in tea cakes, geese, sheep, fruits, etc., and let Li Wujun go back alone. This is called 'giving three court gifts', but the bride Qin Caiyu is going to live in her mother's house, that is, Uncle Qin's house, for three days, seven days or nine days.
Uncle Qin already regarded Qin Caiyu as his own sister-in-law, so he was naturally very good to her. directly regarded the west wing room in her yard as her boudoir, and the furniture in it was new, which made Qin Caiyu very moved. After Qin Caiyu stayed at Qin's house for three days, she went to the Zhou Mansion.
She stayed in Yimengju for another four days, and she talked a lot to Zhou Mengya and explained a lot. Seeing Zhou Mengya's indifferent appearance, she was very uneasy. It is estimated that it will take more than half a year for the eldest young master to go to the capital, although no one in this family dares to be angry with the third young lady, but after all, it is not as comfortable as the eldest young master.
And then Qin Caiyu was relieved that she was not the maid of Yimengju, after she left, Liuhua and Liuying came up to become a big maid. Although Liuying didn't come for a long time, it was only two years, but she was the one Qin Caiyu bought back, and she was also loyal and assured. It's just that this girl has been serving in Yimengju for many years, and her temper is a little pampered. I'm afraid that if she doesn't open her brain, she will cause trouble to the young lady in vain.
Zhou Mengya is smart and clever, and she knows what her Aunt Yu is worried about. also smiled and said that she was relieved, looking at Aunt Yu's expression that was not at ease at all, she had to say that she would be cautious and would go to her grandmother to say hello. This made Qin Caiyu's unease a little less, but she still pulled the two big girls over and said it well. Although Qin Caiyu is no longer the eldest girl of Yimengju, Liuhua and Liuying still respect her very much, and they also ensure that they serve a good lady and take care of Yimengju's affairs.
After Qin Caiyu stayed in the Zhou Mansion for four days, she was reluctant to leave the Zhou Mansion under Zhou Mengya's reluctance. And Li Wujun has already come to pick it up, but this time he drove his own ox cart, because the carriage had been returned to Uncle Guo's family. However, Qin Caiyu doesn't dislike it, she likes this feeling quite a lot. is free and easy, although the conditions of her in-law's family in the countryside are average, but Li Wujun is good to her and can do it, she feels that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to live well.
