Chapter Eighty-Three: Shen Fang Gets Married
The next day, when the auspicious time was approaching, Shen Fang and Honglian were woken up by the Quanfu people who came in the morning, and hurriedly changed their clothes and put on makeup, but they didn't have time to think about the worries they had worried about last night.
In the noisy drum music, the eldest brother Jinxiu carried Shen Fang on his back to the sedan chair. With tears in her eyes, Shen Fang sat in the sedan chair. At this moment, she was no longer allowed to think about anything. No matter what kind of life greeted her, she firmly remembered Hu's instructions: "No matter what, you must be strong and live a good life!" Watching the petite figure enter the sedan chair, Bai Yingtian, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but take a deep breath. Finally, she belonged to him. As soon as he thought of this, his emotions couldn't help but rise, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper. Master Gao watched the sedan chair go away, and there was an inexplicable loss. In the blink of an eye, the three daughters are all from someone else's family. But before he could feel melancholy, someone came to report the good news with a smile: "Congratulations to the master, the second lady gave birth to a little son, and the mother and son are safe!" He was happy: "Good! Reward! The day before yesterday, the second daughter Jinyu returned to her parents' house, but when she left, she suddenly said that her stomach was uncomfortable. Today's youngest daughter's wedding, the master and uncle of the Zhang family came over, but they didn't see Mrs. Zhang and her daughter. It was said that Jinyu had already launched it last night. He and Hu were in a hurry. But today is a good day for Shen Fang, and neither of the two of them can leave. Now there is finally good news, how can he not be happy!
Worship heaven and earth, send it to the cave room, the steps of the wedding are naturally orderly in the Bai family. The bride's eighty-eight dowry made the Bai clan deeply shocked. It's just a concubine, and the Gao family is such a big hand. It can be seen that the family must attach great importance to this daughter. So everyone discussed, and most people's opinion was that the bride must be very outstanding, so she was favored in her mother's family, otherwise how could the groom refuse to marry for her to resist the decree and even don't want to visit the flowers? You know, the bridegroom is the county lord who refuses! However, the words that came out of Qian's mouth were another version: "My son doesn't admire glory and wealth for her, what is the Gao family's dowry?" Being able to marry my son is a blessing for his daughter! Some of the people nodded, and some sighed secretly. However, on a day like today, it is obvious that no one will deliberately say anything against it to ruin the owner's interest.
In the cave room, the bridegroom smiled and lifted the red hijab. The shy bride amazed the guests in the entire cave room. "I've never seen such a beautiful bride!" "Ahh It's really the same as the person in the painting! The women who came to watch the ceremony talked a lot. And the groom looked at his wife, the picturesque eyebrows, the snow skin, a little obsessed. Shen Fang heard a room full of astonishment and admiration. Shy lowered his head. The marrying red lotus and another girl named Bilian were both beaming, and they were very satisfied with everyone's admiration. The ceremony passed quickly. After the guests dispersed, Shen Fang also spent the most important night of her life.
Early in the morning, Shen Fang woke up. The gentle memories of last night made her feel ashamed. Fortunately, Bai Yingtian had already gotten up. I saw her wake up. Honglian hurriedly stepped forward to serve her to change her clothes and get up. Yuanpa was cleaned up by the green branches. After she finished freshening up, Bai Yingtian also came in from outside, looking at Shen Fang, who had cleaned up, and couldn't hold back the smile on her face. "Lady, you got up so early? Do you want to use it earlier? I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare a bowl of red dates and white fungus soup, how many sips can you take while it's hot? Shen Fang only felt a warm heart. Just as she wanted to say yes, she saw the green branch shaking her head slightly and almost invisibly, and caught a glimpse of another unfamiliar face in the room. There was a smile on that face: "The eldest young master is so good to grandma!" Grandma might as well use some first, and then go to see Mrs. The same! She calmed down and said slowly, "This mother must be from the wife's house?" Red Lotus, hurry up and release the reward. Mom came early in the morning, but it was hard work. "Red Lotus knows the machine. hurriedly handed over the red envelope prepared in advance. The woman took it with a thousand thanks, but she didn't move. I heard Shen Fang say to Bai Yingtian: "Thank you for your kindness, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law must not have eaten, and the concubine does not dare to overstep!" Bai Yingtian's face tightened, and then said, "It's okay." Let's go and salute Daddy! As he spoke, he took Shen Fang's hand and walked out of the house. The woman saw Shen Fang and them go out, and then strode away.
"Count her acquaintances! I knew that I would come and salute before eating. Ying Tian is really true, how can a newlywed spoil his daughter-in-law like this! also red dates and white fungus soup, but after one night, where is it pampered. Maybe it's her own intention! "Mrs. Bai Qian carried Master Bai on her back and muttered in the room. To this daughter-in-law. She couldn't get used to it. The Bai family's house is not as good as the Gao Mansion, it is just a three-entry courtyard. Shen Fang's yard is on the east side of the main house, because he is the eldest son of the long house. So it's three main rooms with two side compartments, and a small courtyard outside. It should be the best place for the Bai family to live. However, compared with the Gao family, it is much cramped. Therefore, after the two side compartments arranged Shen Fang's two-room dowry last night, they reluctantly put down the dowry that the Hu family had carefully prepared for her. Except for Honglian and Bilian, who spent the night in Shenfang's house, the other two girls were sent to another room to sleep indiscriminately all night. And the Bai family did not have the rules of setting up a small kitchen. The whole family eats on the same stove. Therefore, as soon as Bai Yingtian opened his mouth to ask the kitchen to prepare something, Mrs. Bai immediately knew. Out of the courtyard, past a moon gate, the main hall has arrived. The people of all ages and children in the room stood in a room, and when they saw Shen Fang, they all pointed and criticized. Shen Fang had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but hold the warm big hand tightly. Bai Yingtian smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, they are all elders." They are all their own relatives, you don't need to panic. On the other side, Master Bai's face was a little ugly: "It's just that the new daughter-in-law kowtows to us, what are you doing with so many people?" Did my father and mother do the same to you back then? Qian looked proud: "They all say that our daughter-in-law is everyone's best girl, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, everyone is going to see the new daughter-in-law by themselves, what can I do?" Old Man Bai sighed secretly in his heart. looked at Shen Fang again, except for the shyness on his face after being a bride, his expression seemed to be quite calm. Because the old lady and the old lady had passed away a long time ago, Shen Fang first said goodbye to the old man and his wife. "Daughter-in-law to my father-in-law, please be safe!" The delicate and sweet voice made the room quiet for a moment. Shen Fang saluted respectfully to Master Bai and kowtowed respectfully. Master Bai smiled and accepted it, so he ordered to get up quickly. Shen Fang took the tea in the red lotus tray behind her. Master Bai took a sip and said, "Very good!" Then he took out a red envelope from his bosom and handed it to Shen Fang: "A little heart, don't dislike it!" Shen Fang was stunned for a moment, then took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!" Old Man Bai smiled and nodded. Shen Fang kowtowed to Qian again: "Daughter-in-law to my mother-in-law!" Qian smiled lightly. took Shen Fang's tea, and said while drinking: "Daughter-in-law, what your father-in-law prepared is also my heart." It's not much, but it's what we want. Don't be disgusted! Shen Fang was stunned. Bai Yingtian's face changed. Mother, which one is this singing? The white family and daughter-in-law have always had a pair of heirloom jade bracelets as a meeting gift. If the mother doesn't show it, does she not recognize the identity of his wife? Old Man Bai's face was also not good-looking. When did the old wife become like this? He had seen the pair of jade bracelets before she packed them in a delicate box. I thought she was going to give it to her new daughter-in-law. But I don't want her to take it out! A voice in the crowd of onlookers whispered: "Why didn't my sister-in-law take out that pair of jade bracelets?" Isn't that pair of bracelets lost? Or is the sister-in-law dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law? "The bride is so beautiful, and the eldest aunt is still not satisfied?" "I've heard that the bride seems to be a concubine. It is recorded in the name of the mother-in-law. "No wonder the sister-in-law is dissatisfied, it's not comparable to the county lord's daughter-in-law!" There was a lot of discussion. Green Branches and Red Lotus were so angry that their faces turned red. How can there be such a person? The legendary Bai family is not a simple family. Is it a strict housekeeper? Where are the bunch of long-tongued women? Old Man Bai's beard was so angry that he was about to rise up. He glared at Qian fiercely, and said loudly: "Yingtian, you take your daughter-in-law back!" She is new to the house, and she is not very familiar with the things at home, so you ask the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Tian, to tell her about our family's affairs, and she will have to worry about the affairs of the family in the future. Qian Shi only felt a buzz in his head when he heard it. Master, is she not allowed to take care of the house? Unexpectedly, the new daughter-in-law gave the power of the family to the daughter-in-law as soon as she entered the door! How will she be in this family in the future? Just as she wanted to say something, Master Bai had already stood up: "Okay, fellow villagers." Bai still has something to do. I won't be far away! When the people heard this, they dispersed. Shen Fang was tightly held by Bai Yingtian and returned to the room.
Bai Yingtian's expression was very angry, and when he arrived at the house, he looked at Shen Fang and said, "I'm sorry." Parents all over the world. I didn't think my mother would be like this. If you have any grievances, just tell me! Shen Fang felt an indescribable feeling, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time. The mother-in-law treated her so well, but the father-in-law and husband maintained her like this. She really didn't know what to say. I couldn't help but think of what Hu told her, and what Aunt Liu told her. Both seem to make sense. So, she controlled her emotions and said, "Mother-in-law is an elder. She may have her own reasons for doing so today. However, based on the prestige of our Bai family, my mother-in-law should not treat me like this. Since my father-in-law trusts me, let me take care of the family. I'm sure I'll take care of the house. Don't let your husband and your father-in-law's reputation be damaged! Bai Yingtian saw that she finally spoke, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. In the end, his wife is from a scholarly family, and the first one is reasonable. So he said, "After all, you just entered the house." I'll explain the things to the housekeeper for the next few days, and I'll wait until we get back to the door. It's never too late for a lady to work hard. Shen Fang nodded when she heard this, and said, "In the next few days, I will listen to Mother Tian tell me about things at home." Bai Yingtian nodded and said no more.
Tian was a woman in her forties, slightly chubby, dark-skinned, and laughing with joy. But it's fast and refreshing. Respectfully gave Shen Fang a salute. Then he opened his mouth and told him about the affairs of the family. "Young lady, our family has a simple population. Our long house is an independent head, and the income is mainly from the pharmacy outside the lord and the eighty acres of paddy fields in the countryside. The second young master is only ten years old this year. I'm still studying at the academy outside. There are a total of more than a dozen people in the family from top to bottom, plus the cook. Of course, the person you marry doesn't count. So things at home are also simple. You have seen the world, if you have any orders, tell me, and I will definitely do what you tell me to do! "Shen Fang had heard of the Bai family's cold family in her mother's house before, but how cold it was, I didn't see it until today. There are a total of more than a dozen people in the family from top to bottom, and there are more than a dozen people in a yard when I am in my mother's house. Now the Hu family has given her two companion rooms, as well as four girls, together with two rough mothers-in-law, and she has brought more than a dozen subordinates by herself. The Bai family is so big, and it is obviously not a matter that they are all placed at home. So he looked at the green branch and said, "I don't need to trouble my mother." It's enough to have a girl on my side. My mother mentioned the daily things at home, and I knew how to do it. Tian looked at Shen Fang's room full of people, and all of them were clear-eyed. The rules and regulations can't help but secretly staggering and cautious. So I quickly talked about the daily life of the family and everyone's hobbies. But when he saw Lu Zhi take a small notebook and memorize it carefully, he couldn't help but be a little flustered: "The sisters in the young grandmother's house can be literate?" Midori smiled. said: "But I know a few roughly." Mom just speak! Tian was a little squirming, and quickly finished the matter. Seeing that Shen Fang had been listening quietly and did not speak. I didn't dare to say more. Shen Fang saw that she was restrained, so she said: "The family has a mother." Mom worked hard. Let's go down first! "Honglian has already handed over a red envelope on the side." This is the young lady's reward for you! Tian's mother took the red envelope and seemed to have some weight in her hand. I can't help but be happy. He smiled and retreated.
But after half a day's work, the news of the new grandmother's easy-going temperament and generosity soon spread among the people. Qian listened angrily and hatefully in the room. The reason why she didn't take out the pair of jade bracelets before was that when she recognized her relatives anyway, the lord would definitely not refute her face, she wanted to put her mother-in-law's money on the table, and see that Gao's low eyebrows were pleasing to the eyes, and then take out the jade bracelets to buy people's hearts. Who knew that the old man didn't save any face for himself, and when he came up, he handed over the housekeeping power to his daughter-in-law. Think about the fact that I have been in the Bai family for more than 20 years, and I have no credit and hard work. The husband still treats himself the same way as when he first entered the door. Back then, the Qian family was married back by the old lady Bai because his father had a life-saving grace for the old lady Bai. Because it grows up in the countryside. I don't know anything about the etiquette and rules of the Bai family, and almost all of them are taught by my mother-in-law little by little. And the husband doesn't say to himself that he knows the cold and is hot, it can be said that it is just one word, cold! The gradual harmony between the husband and wife was only after she worked diligently in the Bai family and served Aunt Weng wholeheartedly. Now that I finally sat in the position of my mother-in-law, my husband was not sympathetic at all, and he was all towards his daughter-in-law! If this daughter-in-law is of noble birth, it would be the county lord given by the previous emperor, but she is just a concubine of a neighboring county's scholar. The son was also stripped of his fame for her! Even if she is Mr. Yingtian's daughter, she is her mother-in-law in the end! I really don't know what the old man thinks! The more Qian thought about it, the more sad he became. But there was a personal mother-in-law who came to report: "Mrs." Grandma is here! Suddenly a cold face: "What is she doing here?" Show off her dowry? The mother-in-law opened her mouth to speak, but heard a crisp voice at the door: "The daughter-in-law just left in a hurry, and she didn't give her heart to the second elder!" Shen Fang had already changed into a light grass green dress. He simply wore a jasper hairpin on his head and a pair of pearl studs on his ears. The whole person looks simple and elegant. Qian looked at her with a smile. There was a stomach full of gas, and somehow it couldn't come out. just asked in a low voice: "You don't take care of the housekeeper, what are you doing here?" When Shen Fang heard this, she suddenly knelt on the ground: "Mother-in-law said this, she is going to torture her daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law is young, and she is lazy when she is at home, and she dares to be the master of the house as soon as she comes! I still want my mother-in-law to mention me a little more in everything! Qian felt a lot more comfortable when he heard this. said on his lips: "Our Bai family is not as good as your mother's family, it is a famous big family." Although we are a small family. But there is no shortage of rules! Shen Fang said: "It's not right for my mother-in-law to say this. Our Bai family is a well-known family of cultivators and scholars, and the family style is upright. Although our family background is not as good as those rich families, our family's reputation is not comparable to those rich merchants! The father-in-law's practice of medicine helps the world, but also benefits one party. My mother-in-law has always been diligent and thrifty, and she is famous. When my mother was at home, she told me to be as good as you are an old man! After Shen Fang's words were finished, the coldness on Qian's face had basically melted. The daughter-in-law said this, which means that she is still a sensible girl. It's just that when I think about it the other way, I can't help but feel a little ashamed of what I did before. When my mother-in-law was alive, she once said that she was more sensible than anyone else when she was sensible, but she couldn't pull back nine cows. Before, because her son was dismissed, she was unhappy with a thousand and ten thousand. She couldn't figure it out, her son was married to the county lord, and that was also married by order, why the lord and his son were both strongly resisting the decree. also said that if the order is followed, it will hinder the reputation of the Bai family. Now that my son has no fame, he is busy preparing for a college every day to admit children from poor families to school. This would have been a good thing, and she didn't object to it. But to enroll so many poor children in school, it will take a lot of money. With the strength of the Bai family, where does he have the confidence to do this? No matter how hard she tried to persuade her son, it was useless. Who knew that I actually heard that this matter was brought up by the Gao family. She simply hated the Gao family. Isn't this a prodigy for his son? The son also happily married the daughter of the Gao family, but she had long thought about giving this daughter of the Gao family a little taste! But now looking at Shen Fang, who was kneeling on the ground with low eyebrows, her heart couldn't be hard. Sighing softly, she said softly, "Okay, you get up!" It's cool on the ground! Since the master has already asked you to take care of the house, you should do a good job at home. If you don't understand, just ask me. Only then did Shen Fang get up from the ground. Red Lotus and Bilian came over with a tray. Shen Fang offered it with both hands, "This is a piece of my daughter-in-law's heart, and I ask my mother-in-law to accept it!" Qian's mother-in-law, Li's mother-in-law, glanced at Qian's and saw that her face was calm, so she smiled and stepped forward to take it. But I saw that there were two clothes in the tray, and no matter what the fabric was, the workmanship was indeed excellent at a glance. couldn't help but boast: "Grandma is good needlework!" Qian glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, the clothes were evenly stitched, and they looked very exquisite. It was actually made by the daughter-in-law herself? Her craftsmanship is really good. Back then, because she had to take care of housework in her mother's house and even do farm work, she was a female celebrity, and she was often criticized by her mother-in-law. Among the concubines, they are often secretly ridiculed. But I heard Shen Fang say shyly: "Mom has won the award." My craft is nothing more than that, the most important thing is that I want to be filial to my elders. Qian also had a smile on his face: "This is already very good!" Shen Fang bowed her head in praise. Qian sighed from her heart, she was originally a strong character, and her daughter-in-law showed weakness like this, and she couldn't stand up to her mother-in-law's shelf. So he whispered, "Okay." I know you're not comfortable with me either. Let's go back! In the past two days, you will be familiar with the house, and when you return to the door, I will ask Tian's mother to help you! A bright smile suddenly appeared on Shen Fang's face: "Thank you for your compassion!" I'll go back! He saluted and went back with the red lotus and Bilian.
Looking at her excited figure, Qian said to Li's mother: "The young grandmother looks like this, how can she be someone's daughter-in-law?" I think it's still a child. How do you tell me to be angry with a child? Mother Li smiled: "Madame is compassionate. You can think like this, but it's really a blessing for the young grandmother! Qian glanced at her and said angrily: "Why didn't you persuade me before?" The bad old man made me so shameless! Mother Li hurriedly said: "My wife didn't turn around before, no matter how much the slave said, you can't listen to it?" Okay now, my wife still wants to settle accounts with me after the autumn? According to me, Mrs., you have worked hard all your life, and you have to rest well. Grandma Da Young is so smart, she must be a capable person. You can rest assured! Qian nodded and said, "I have indeed suffered for a lifetime. A son who worked hard was admitted to Tanhua, but his fame was removed because of his resistance. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is not so pampered, and she understands some reason. Otherwise, I really don't know how to live this life! Mother Li was obedient and obedient, and hurriedly continued: "Who said it wasn't? Madam, don't you know, I heard that those princesses, county lords and the like don't kowtow to their in-laws when they get married, and their parents-in-law want to kowtow to them in turn! It wasn't a daughter-in-law, it was a bodhisattva who came back. "Mother Li is a girl given by Qian's mother-in-law, and she has been serving since Qian entered the door. Therefore, when two people speak, sometimes they are not honorable. When she spoke like this, Qian didn't think it was angry. I just think what she said makes sense. made Su Ri's dislike of this daughter-in-law a little lighter. (To be continued.) )
