Chapter 348: Donggui marries
"Miss, Miss, don't shed tears, the people from my uncle's side are here! I heard that a fourth-grade martial artist came to pay for Aunt Nalan. "The little maid and boy hurried to deliver good news to the young lady.
"Four-rank martial arts? Do they still have relatives in their family who are in the rank of the fourth rank of martial arts? ”
"It must be a relative of my uncle's family, I don't remember what I called. The slave and maid are Han Chinese, and they can't remember your Manchu names. ”
"Okay, okay, you can inquire again."
The wrinkles on Mrs. Fucha's face were all smiling! The dowry is beyond the imagination of the whole family, and the person who makes a big decision is still a four-grade adult! Doesn't it mean that Donggui is the offspring of a civilian family? How did you invite such a big god? What a face! In contrast, the six-rank Lord Ye He was not allowed to be on the stage.
The abundance and abundance of dowry gifts have opened the eyes of the whole family of Fuchaju. In fact, these things were all asked by the prince to be taken by Yun'er in a large pile of goods. Donggui's family will also be able to take out four boxes. The prince asked Yun'er to find out several kinds of cloth, such as brocade, yarn, silk, silk and cotton, one for each of them, and wrapped them into a flat shape according to the length of fifty feet of a brocade in the Qing Dynasty, as well as all kinds of daily necessities. Jewelry is exotic titanium and alloy jewelry, agate bracelets, stainless steel earrings, imitation pearl necklaces, as well as purses, sachets, handbags, pillows and other fabrics, as well as resin ornaments and glassware. Except for brocade and titanium jewelry, they are not very valuable things, but they are very new and beautiful.
Although Nalan Donggui is not from the house, but now he is doing business for the house, and being smashed by ruffians is also for the house, which is a sacrifice, and it is also for the sake of Nalan Dongde's diligent errand face, and he should also support his younger brother.
After seeing the bride price, the whole family of Fuchaju was so happy that they were about to fly!
The prodigy ran and slapped his chest: "Miss, Miss, let the slave take a breath." ”
"Drink some water, don't rush, speak slowly."
"Thank you, Miss." Tong'er drank a cup of tea and gestured: "Miss, my uncle's family is not without money!" Eight boxes of bride price for you! The golden light is shining, and the slave's eyes are going to dazzle! It seems that his family is richer than the six-grade adult. ”
"Wouldn't it? Donggui is really a person, he can't lie, and the house he lives in is not very good, and if he has money, he won't be a merchant. Besides, everyone is afraid of being poor, so who has to pretend to be poor if they have money? Did you send it by mistake? ”
"No, no! The big man called his uncle's name over and over again. ”
"That's weird. By the way, you said that the shotgun master who came to Nacai earlier ......"
"He's stupid! The official university is a parent, and there are four adults to accept the lottery, what else does he say? Also, the Sipin master said to our master that he should hurry up and prepare to let the girl get married, so as to save the little crucian carp (coveting). Then said that there will be an auspicious day in half a month, let the master and the uncle's family discuss and settle, and then you should leave the cabinet. Are you a child? ”
"Definitely, definitely! You are the most suitable bridal maid. This time you have done a great job, if you hadn't sent a letter to his family, I don't know what the result would be. ”
"Okay, okay, the slave will be a dowry maid with you. When the time comes, will you give the slave a little more monthly routine? ”
"Definitely, this is certain!" Fucha Wenjing was so happy that she was almost dizzy.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Ruiwang Mansion is auspicious, and there are red gauze lamps, cattails, mugwort and small brooms and sachets on the gates of each courtyard. There are also bunting and paper lanterns. There are also paper gourds that the Qing Dynasty does not have. They are all made by machines, with gourd-shaped, fruit-shaped, and lantern-shaped, layered on top of each other, attracting many maids and women to stop and watch. The children all have multicolored threads with small beads on their wrists and bright, delicate sachets hanging from their chests. The baby and Beibei were carried to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, they pointed with their fat fingers, and their mouths were snuggling. Then I went to the Fujin room to play for two days.
Everyone in the house, regardless of dignity or inferiority, was given five rice dumplings, five red eggs, a sachet, a purse, and a small broom one inch long. The purse also contained the half-month reward given by the master.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yun'er carried several kinds of kitchen utensils that did not use electricity, including a reamer for stirring meat filling, which was the kind with a crank handle, cut the meat into half a fist-sized piece of meat and put it into the reamer, and shake the cranker, and the meat piece became a meat filling and came out of the hole in the front door, much faster than the knife chopping. There are more than 400 people in the house, and it takes a lot of time to chop the stuffing to eat a dumpling, and it takes a lot of time to chop vegetables and make dumplings.
The chefs in the big kitchen were almost jumping up with excitement, and more than a dozen people surrounded the reamer, watching Tian Liang's operation intently, and talking loudly.
There are also stainless steel cage drawers, which are used for steaming steamed buns. It's shiny and clean when you look at it.
There are also groups of kitchen knives, sound kettles, thermoses, pressure cookers, rice pots, etc., all of which are rare things that these palace chefs and even the imperial chefs in the palace have never seen.
In the hall of Fujin, in the hall of Yun'er, in the hall downstairs of Mrs. Chen, and in several large kitchens, many people are making zongzi.
Yun'er was invited by Fujin to her small kitchen to make zongzi, and every Dragon Boat Festival, Fujin has to practice it and take the old girls in the house to make zongzi. Not only for the people in the palace to eat, but also to the queen mother and emperor in the palace, but also to the various palaces, the palace of the state, of course, other mansions will also be sent to the Rui Wangfu. The queen mother in the palace has to send glutinous rice, zongzi leaves and jujubes to various houses every year during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Five days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the exhibition in the backyard of Nalan Donggui was moved to the front of the door, and the long rope hung on the various sachets, purses, handbags, fungus flowers, velvet flowers and other small gadgets made by the girls and grandmothers in the house. Usually there are a lot of people in this small shop, so there is an open-air fair, it is crowded, the sachets and purses processed from exotic materials are almost not embroidered, but those sachets decorated with various sequins, colored beads and silk flowers are more eye-catching than the traditional embroidered sachets. And the pattern is renovated, there are any styles, most of the sachets of the Qing Dynasty are embroidered on the red brocade, mainly gourd-shaped, ingot-shaped, rectangular, diamond-shaped, round and other modes are not many, and Nalan Donggui here is not less than 100 kinds of sachets! There are not only the above styles, but also siu mai bags, pomegranate bags, heart-shaped bags, butterfly bags, Miaojia bags, goldfish bags, carp bags, peacock bags, Fuzi bags, zongzi bags, Pisces bags, brocade bags, doll bags, hydrangea bags, zodiac bags, gold wallets and other styles of sachets. In addition, there are also jade, wood carving, plastic, resin, ceramics, peach, glass and other pendants, chest ornaments, waist ...... connected with Ruyi.
The age of the crowd is not limited to young boys and girls, but also young daughters-in-law, old men and old ladies, and middle-aged people. Screams and laughter followed. On the third day of May alone, 5,000 pieces were sold! On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still people who come to buy. Many girls like to carry small bags on their shoulders, not only exquisite workmanship, but also a small pendant or glass sticky sticky at the lower end of the bag, a fluffy animal, or a small doll wearing a gauze skirt. There are more than 10,000 kinds of such pendants in foreign lands, but they are unique in the Qing Dynasty, and they fascinate a large number of boys and girls in the Qing Dynasty. Older men like those items such as waist wear, delicate and noble, and after wearing them, they give people the feeling that their owners are very calm and old.
And things like pendants are very lively, smart, and full of vitality. It wasn't until the seventh day of the new year that the number of young customers gradually decreased, and almost all the goods for the festival were sold.
There are still many samples in Yun'er, and there will be more novel sachets next year! It seems that this business is still doing it. Because sachets and other products are only one of the products sold in department stores, they are subject to seasonal restrictions. Department stores and department stores are a lot of goods. We still have to work on the "diversification" of products, but we can't rush it.
It can be said that Nalan Department Store made a great success, and the net profit of 280 taels was obtained in ten days of sales. Donggui deserved a reward of twenty-eight taels, but the prince felt that Donggui was too hard, not only did he work hard, he got up early and was greedy for darkness, but he was also smashed twice, and he was given a gratuity of thirty taels. After that, they will be paid the prescribed amount.
Since the opening of the business, Nalan Donggui's business remuneration is more than ten times or even more than that of his usual picker, and his hands are naturally much more comfortable. Nalan's guards knew that his younger brother wanted to use the money he earned to get married, and they all relied on him.
On May 16, one by eight carried a sedan chair to Fucha? Miss Wen Jing carried it to the courtyard of Nalan Donggui's house, and the courtyard was lit up and very lively. Nalan's family is an old household in the capital, needless to say that the eldest Dongshun, the second Dongde's friend, and the old lady Nalan's maiden family, Nalan's own family, that is, the neighbors, there are 180 people. Nalan's family held a three-day flowing water banquet, and completed the happy event of the third Donggui in a beautiful manner.
On the day of marriage, after worshipping heaven and earth, the bride was sent to the cave room.
Miss Wen Jing's red hijab is made of thick gauze material, the reason is that it is hot, and she is afraid that the brocade hijab will not be able to penetrate the wind and the bride will suffer from heat stroke.
Through the red hijab, Wen Jingying saw that the furnishings in the new house were much better than she imagined. The bed is a quiet dowry, large, red pine, the bed is covered with flower sheets that are not in the Qing Dynasty, the pillow is actually flat, two pairs of pillows side by side, and on top is a fluffy red double happiness pillow towel. Is the quilt Fucha? The quiet dowry, but the quilt is an exotic light-colored cloth, very fresh and clean. The wedding quilt of the Qing Dynasty is all white, where is there such a beautiful flower cloth? On the shed is the latte flowers given by Yun'er, and the golden, silver, and red latte flowers add a strong festive color and warm atmosphere to the small new house. There is also a round table in the room with a delicate glass tea set on it. Against the wall are large wardrobes, bookcases and bogu shelves. The small objects on the shelves are too rare, in fact, they are all exotic plastic and resin ornaments, the money is not worth much, but it is very beautiful, and the Manchu Dynasty can not find such cute knick-knacks.
Wen Jing's three sisters-in-law have long been ready, and on the day of her sister-in-law's wedding, she will go to her mother-in-law's house to pick and choose. In normal times, the sister-in-law is lukewarm and ignorant of them, and the sister-in-law of the mother's family has no problem with the old lady of the Nalan family. But when they came to the sister-in-law's new house, they were immediately straightened by the furnishings inside, and their eyes were hooked, and they couldn't say a word, how to choose? They've never seen any of these things themselves! They still thought that my sister-in-law's new house was uncertain and shabby.
But the groom's "maiden sister-in-law" picked on Li'er. She didn't pick the bride's gift, but the mother-in-law's reason:
"Eniang, your old man is too partial to the third brother. When the daughter-in-law and your eldest son got married, they didn't even have half of the scenery of the third child! The third marriage has eight boxes of dowry, and the daughter-in-law only has four boxes, which is too much worse, right? ”
Old Madam Nalan's face sank: "What are these words!" When you got married, the family was so difficult, and E-Niang didn't let you be wronged. It's just that the furnishings in the room are not as good as the third child, and your second brother is not as good as you when he gets married, what is the comparison? These things were not bought and arranged by Eniang, but were given to her by your second brother and sister as a good master, and she was reluctant to use them for the third child. You're looking greedy, there's no way, you can't get married again, right? You're the boss, don't make trouble at this time to make people laugh! ”
"E-Niang, you're so annoying!" The eldest daughter-in-law was so angry that she ran out.
The old lady took Wen Jing's hand: "Jing, don't go to your heart, your sister-in-law just has no heart." She doesn't come back often, her parents are only one of her daughters, and the three of them live at your sister-in-law's house. Your second brother and sister-in-law are both errand bearers, and they don't come home often. Your sister Dongzhu is also about to get married. In the future, the two of us who are often together are very quiet. ”
"E-Niang, rest assured, Jing'er will not go to her heart. Jing'er's marriage is more beautiful than that of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it is understandable for the sister-in-law to complain. ”
"This kid is so sensible. Come, Shui'er, and greet your younger siblings. ”
"Hello brother and sister! I am the second sister-in-law, my maiden name is Zhang, and I am Han. I have long known that the third brother is going to marry a woman from everyone's background. Today, I saw that my younger brother and sister are really knowledgeable people. ”
"The second sister-in-law has won the prize. Wen Jing will have to ask her second sister-in-law for advice in the future. ”
"Brother and sister are too polite."
At this time, someone said, "The front is over, the bridegroom is coming back, let's leave." ”
Brother Donggui's side came to congratulate several of his colleagues who got along well on weekdays, as well as several members of the eldest daughter-in-law's mother's family. There are a lot of people on the second brother's side, in addition to Nalan Dongde and Shui'er, there are also more than a dozen personal soldiers and guards such as Tian Liang, Mangge, **, Gelong, and Feiyangu. Among them are the pro-soldiers who are buddies in the Toguidian. They are all older than Donggui, and they are embarrassed to make trouble in the cave room, so they talk and chat in the hall.
Feiyangu is a Manchurian, the one who stood guard for Yun'er's Feiyun Tower. His father is a fourth-grade coat and collar, and his official rank is not small. He himself was a petty officer under his father, and the leader sent his son to the Rui Wang's Mansion as a personal soldier by digging the window. The pro-soldiers here are out of the six grades, a gold-plated place.
Feyangu was a good friend of Narandonde, so it was natural for him to attend the occasion. The identity of the prince is not good, and the two Fujin in the palace cannot appear on this occasion, so it is the Zhu medical officer in the palace who is invited to replace the palace to send gifts and congratulations.
