Chapter 171: Preparing for Marriage
Fu Xiangqing was silent, as smart as she was, she naturally knew the reason why Mrs. Fu said this, and at this moment, she admitted that it was the only stupid thing she had ever done. It's just that she still wants to say something for herself, if she can get that person, she will still do such a stupid thing. To this day, she still has a glimmer of hope, though she knows in her heart that it is almost impossible.
In her opinion, the choice of the county lord of Ping'an is for the sake of Ning Wangfu and her identity as the county lord. If it weren't for the fact that the saint was too strict with the royal family today, with the identity of the lord of the royal mansion, no matter which family she married into, it would be a golden branch and jade leaf on the high. Today's choice is also very prestigious in the eyes of outsiders, after all, Mrs. Shizi is the future mistress of the Guogong Mansion.
The low-key banquet still stirred up a lot of splashes, and within two days, the major mansions in the capital and the streets and alleys had been spread
It was another morning at the end of the greeting, and in Fushengzhai as before, Mother Li had just instructed the little girl to go to the kitchen to deliver food.
"Miss, an old lady is talking about you again today, I really hope that such days will come to an end soon."
In recent days, Li's mother has been directing the people in Ziman's yard to tidy up things in her spare time, and Zihuan also feels that she is about to leave this residence where she has lived for more than ten years, but there is no intention of parting on her face.
Fu Tianqing sat down, took a sip of the freshly poured tea.
"You're not counting the days now, I'm afraid that the girl who left Beijing with me is the only one who lives here for the longest time."
"No," Zihuan immediately retorted, "Mother Li has been with you the longest. ā
Mother Li just lifted the curtain and asked the little girl to bring breakfast in. Zi Dip hurriedly followed the meal.
"Miss is talking about you little girls who love to be sad and sad the most, as long as my wife follows Miss to wherever she goes, she is home. If any of you are reluctant to leave now, it is still too late to speak quickly, our young lady is never willing to embarrass people, after all, it is understandable that the capital that has lived for so long wants to stay. ā
Mother Li said it in front of the two little girls who were setting the meal when she spoke, and I believe that the entire Fushengzhai will know about it in a while, which is faster than deliberately passing on the words.
"Although I grew up in the capital, I felt that my life was stable after following Miss, I was the same as my mother, and I would go wherever Miss went." Zi Dip also said.
"It was my mother who reminded me that it was indeed time to give them the freedom to choose, and the people in this courtyard originally bought it for me as a dowry, but I also thought I could live in the capital. Now I'm afraid that I won't even have a chance to come back, and I still have to worry about my mother more about this matter. Fu Tianqing said.
"This is easy to do, there are not many people in our yard, but it is only half a cup of tea. It's just that how to make up for the lack of this person? Li's mother asked.
Fu Tianqing thought about it for a while, in fact, she didn't need so many people, four maids in one room were enough, plus Mother Li was in charge.
"Except for Zi Di, there are only five girls who go with me, leaving two is enough, the road is far away, if you need to buy it locally."
Mother Li felt that it was inappropriate: "There are four first-class girls, and four second-class girls, after all, you are a marriage, you can't lose the pomp, and our number of people can barely hold up." I don't think there are a few to find the lady directly, and the new girl will explain it directly, in short, she won't force them. ā
Sometimes even the rules can be ignored, not to mention the pomp, Fu Tianqing shook his head lightly, stopped talking about it, and concentrated on breakfast
Fu Xiangqing was in no mood to pay attention to Fushengzhai for the time being, she sent someone to send a letter to Fu Yun, asking him to send her the news from the outside in real time, especially about the county lord of Ping'an.
At this time, Fu Xiangqing probably didn't realize that he was a little concerned about the marriage of the county lord of Ping'an.
Mrs. Fu really remembered what she had said that day, and finally sent Mint to Qinxin Hall to spread the word. As soon as Mint walked on his front foot, Sakura Xue couldn't help but speak.
"The old lady has also done too much, it's her own granddaughter, even if you don't care about the face of you and Changfang, you have to take into account everyone's mouth, if this matter spreads, what good can it do to the Fu Mansion."
Mrs. Fu also said weakly: "What should I do, only the old lady dares to tell me like this." ā
"If you want the slave to say that you don't care about this matter, that Yuan girl is still quite clear compared to the concubines in the palace, what else can you expect when you are like this, forgive her and don't dare to say anything to you."
Mrs. Fu said helplessly: "I'm afraid that if I don't do anything at all, I will be called over and reprimanded by the old lady in a few days." ā
Ying Xue said meaninglessly: "The old lady is not like this on the first day, and you are not afraid." ā
"You, let's talk about it, this matter is not important anyway, I haven't taken care of the dowry of the three girls, and the matter of the big girl has not been settled, and the current status of the two in the aromatherapy house is really embarrassing."
"Look, it's not a lot of time," Ying Xue suddenly laughed and said: "Madam, slave maid, you still quietly stabbed this matter to the old lady, there is nothing in this mansion that his old man does not dare to do." ā
"You girl, even the old lady has arranged it," Mrs. Fu said: "This matter is not something that can be solved, it is best to leave it alone, but the old lady has to touch it in one more move." ā
"It's not that the slave is bold, the old lady is sometimes too freewheeling, if you don't have a big idea in the house these years, you may not be able to tell what happened in the house."
Mrs. Fu suddenly ordered: "You go to the treasury to get two pieces of fresh cloth, and ask for bright colors, and let the sewing room make two sets of new clothes for Miss Yuan, and then go and get a hundred taels of silver to prepare, and then give them together." ā
"This, you really give a dowry." Sakurayuki reluctantly went.
It's just one hundred taels of silver, and the dowry of the daughter of an ordinary eunuch family can't exceed three thousand taels of silver at most, which is still a good condition. For the daughter of a petty official, her parents can only give five hundred taels. Like Fu Shuyuan's sisters, the family only lives on fertile land, and if they marry normally, they don't even have a hundred taels of silver, and it would be good if their parents could get together a few dowries.
Now, Fu Shuyuan's identity is just better than that of a dowry girl, and there is no need for Mrs. Fu to prepare a dowry for her. If Fu Shuyuan is not convinced, she can write a letter to her parents at home asking for a dowry, which Mrs. Fu can't control. It's just that with such an identity, it's not even a concubine, so how can you talk about a dowry.
Mrs. Fu also pitied this girl, after all, the initiator of this incident was Mrs. Fu, for the sake of relatives, it was the maximum to give her these, and I hope that this child will not harbor resentment in the future
After two days of calm in the Guogong Mansion, Fu Yun and An Hui's marriage was unhurriedly on the right track.
