Can Ling Yan say that it is wrong?

Knowing that Xiao Yu's words were not true, Ling Yan was helpless, and the topic changed at the moment, talking about the arrangements for the big wedding after the year.

Because he was busy preparing for Xiao Yu and Hua Yue's faint ceremony, this year was also very lively and fulfilling.

Since Laba, the house has welcomed a wave of distinguished guests. The children of the Xiao family, who had traveled a long way, rushed back in advance, and naturally there were also friends who came to visit.

Xiao Yu only waited quietly in the mansion to get married, and sometimes received a few girls from various mansions who had just returned for the New Year to add makeup.

Before I knew it, it was already more than ten years of the first month.

The auspicious day of the wedding was not many days away, and Xiao Yu was extremely nervous for a while, because the stepping bed she had asked the craftsman to make had already been completed and sent to the county lord's mansion, but it was not put together with the dowry.

This bed was made so quickly, and it was more exquisite than imagined, Xiao Yu was a little surprised, and told the craftsman about the general structure of the five-step bed, and asked him to choose good wood, build it carefully, and said that he didn't have to hurry.

Since the last time in the plum garden, Xiao Yu has seen Hua Yue twice in private.

These two times were in the Xiao Mansion, according to Ling Yi, Jiang Qingyuan didn't talk about the good friendship in the past, and guarded the county lord's mansion tightly, so that Hua Yue couldn't find any good opportunities.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu praised Jiang Qingyuan greatly after returning to the county lord's mansion.

Hua Yue got the news that Su Ling had been to the county lord's mansion with Yang Yuru out of nowhere, and after it was confirmed, a few coldness flashed on her face.

Xiao Yu naturally saw it clearly, although she didn't know why Hua Yue didn't have a good impression of Su Ling. But there's always a reason.

When she heard Hua Yue say that she wanted to stay away from Su Ling, Xiao Yu immediately nodded and agreed.

On the twentieth day of the first month, the weather is fine.

On this day, the Xiao Mansion will send the dowry to the Hua family's garden in Changzhou. And he invited the blessed man to go and make a bed. After the dowry is carried over, it should also be laid out for the guests to see.

The dowry had already been prepared and packed into the vermilion lacquer luodian box, pail, and carrying box, tied with red silk, and placed in the hall of the county lord's palace.

Seeing the red dowry box, Xiao Yu called Yuzhu and gave a few words.

It didn't take long for Yuzhu to come over with a copy of the dowry list. Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Is there a mistake written on this, the one that is newly made by people is not a Huanghuali peony leaf rolling bed." ”

Yuzhu hurriedly said, "I'll ask." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Yu, who was already numb in his scalp, gasped even more, although he had also seen the dowry list in ancient times in his previous life. There is such a long list, but there are only a dozen of the gems in the back of the dowry, what are these boxes?!

It took a long time before Xiao Yu remembered to continue looking.

Four boxes of books

Pick-up, dowry maids and servants: Yuzhu, Xia Solstice, Banxia, Yunshang three big maids, a few small maids, and six family rooms

In fact, according to the old rules and regulations, Xiao Yu can bring six big maids to marry. But there aren't so many of them around her these days. I barely made up an even number and just gave up.

It's the same with saving it for later.

Finally finished reading the long list of dowries, but Xiao Yu had just come back to his senses. I saw Yuzhu walking in quickly.

Yuzhu replied respectfully: "County Lord." There is nothing wrong with this list, there is indeed such a thousand-worker stepping bed in the dowry. ”

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "How is this possible?" ”

saw that Yuzhu's face suddenly showed an expression of both yearning and amazement. Xiao Yuzheng was a little strange. I wanted to ask her what was wrong. I heard her speak: "That bed has just been delivered, it is indeed a five-step bed with carved peony leaf patterns, do you want to take a look?" ”

When Yuzhu went out just now. Coincidentally, I saw the people of Xiao Mansion transporting a beautiful wooden house over, and after asking, I realized that it was actually the yellow rosewood five-entry thousand-step bed on the dowry list! After she saw it, she couldn't help but feel envious. I think any woman would want to have such a bed, but it's a pity that she is a subordinate. For such an expensive bed, I can only think about it.

"I'll take a look."

I heard that this Qiangong stepping bed has been sent to Fuzhong. Xiao Yu immediately got up and went outside.

Yuzhu and a few maids hurriedly followed. didn't forget to let the mother-in-law send the idlers away first, so as not to bump into Xiao Yu.

When he came to the hall of the courtyard, Xiao Yu really saw that there was an extra stepping bed in front of the dowry box, and there were more than two entrances at a glance.

At that moment, Xiao Yu walked over quickly, took a closer look, the lines were smooth, the carving was exquisite, lifelike, and polished as smooth as jade. There is no flaw in it, which shows that the craftsman has put a lot of thought into it.

What's going on?

Xiao Yu turned his head a little puzzled. It just so happened that the eldest brother Xiao Wensong came in from outside, and she greeted him.

Seeing Xiao Yu coming outside the court, Xiao Wensong was taken aback: "Why did my sister come out?" But bored in the backyard? ”

Now that I am getting married, it is not good to meet a foreign man.

Xiao Yu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Big brother and I will go in and talk." ”

Although I didn't know what Xiao Yu wanted to say, it was better than being outside, Xiao Wensong nodded and went to the house with her. The two sat down in the side hall, and Xiao Yu immediately asked, "Big brother, where did this Qiangong stepping bed come from?" ”

Xiao Wensong was a little surprised: "Didn't my sister make it happen?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Yu shook his head.

"That's weird. I haven't seen a bed like this anywhere else, and I thought my sister came up with it, didn't my sister make a similar bed before? Xiao Wensong said.

Xiao Yu was puzzled by this.

"I'm also wondering, although the one I asked people to make before was also a pull-out bed, but it was just an ordinary two-entry bed, and it wasn't so complicated. And the bed had already been made and delivered. ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Wensong also frowned: "When those craftsmen transported the components of this bed into the mansion to assemble them, they showed the note written by their sister, and said that it was their sister's dowry, and Sister Yan also said that she recognized the craftsman. ”

"It can't be so fast......" Xiao Yu couldn't help but muttered to herself.

"My sister mean, I did order such a bed, but I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly?" Xiao Wensong heard the meaning of his words and asked.

Xiao Yu nodded.

I saw Xiao Wensong laughing: "That must be it." Maybe the craftsman is in a hurry. Doesn't my sister want to use this bed as a dowry? ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "That's not true, I just think it's unbelievable." The reason why this thousand-worker stepping bed has the name of a thousand workers is because it takes a thousand days to make such a bed, and I thought it would take at least two or three years to do it. ”

Xiao Wensong was a little surprised: "Is this so?" Then I'll go back and ask the craftsmen if there's anything wrong with this bed. ”

Although it was said that before it was transported to the county lord's mansion, the people of the Xiao family had repeatedly and carefully checked that there was no problem with this stepping bed, but it was better to be cautious.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Then there is Brother Lao." ”

At this moment, it was almost auspicious, Xiao Wensong did not delay any longer, immediately got up to say goodbye to Xiao Yu, reassured her again, and then went outside.

It didn't take long for the music to be played, and the procession that wanted to come to give the dowry had already set off.

Xiao Yu sat and listened for a while, only to feel like a dream, and after a while, he went to the inner courtyard.

At this time, the dowry outside had already left the county lord's mansion.

The two in front are naturally the golden phoenix and the golden bird, followed by the tiles and adobe that symbolize the fields of the village.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the tall thousand-worker-like bed that can only be carried by eight strong men.

The crowd of onlookers saw it and began to discuss: "What is that?" Could it be a bed? It's so big, it looks so magnificent! ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful bed!"

"Who says it isn't!"

"In the end, it is the lord of the county who is valued by the saint, and it is said that he can grow sacred things, and it is such a gorgeous bed that is worthy of his identity."

……

Waiting for a few beds to be piled over, because there was the previous dowry Zhuyu in front, and the rest of the dowry was mostly packed in the carrying box, and Xiao Yu was low-key, except for a few things given by the emperor, most of the other dowry boxes were covered, but they couldn't see anything, and everyone hadn't seen the dowry list, so it didn't cause much of a stir.

But the sixty-four dowries, plus the ceremonial guards and ceremonial music that opened the way and the maids and servants who followed behind, also stretched for more than 20 miles, and almost all the men, women, and children in Changzhou City flocked to both sides of the long street to watch this huge scene.

Xiao Fu has always been kind and charitable in Changzhou, building bridges and paving roads, giving porridge and medicine, and distributing food and accumulating merit when preparing for Xiao Yu's marriage, and has a good reputation, so where the dowry team passed, the crowd consciously gave way out, and they were full of joy.

Ten miles of red makeup, 10,000 empty alleys.

Su Ling looked out from the window of the restaurant, but saw that the wedding team dressed in red and green couldn't finish from the street to the alley, and the people below were full of voices and music, and it was indescribably lively and festive, so she couldn't help but clench the peony embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were full of envy.

Especially when I think of Fang Cai's extremely gorgeous bed, it is even more beautiful.

A smile appeared on Yin'er's lips, and she said on the side: "The girl doesn't have to be envious, with the dignity of the girl, he will definitely have a better one day." ”

Su Ling couldn't help but feel excited, thinking of the scenery of her future marriage, her breathing was a little short.

Seeing this, Yin'er frowned, as if smiling, but quickly regained her composure.

This time, in order to do a good job of Hua Yue and Xiao Yu's family affairs, the two families did spend a lot of thought, and it was really rare to purchase such a rich dowry and dowry in such a short period of time.

This Le'an county lord is even more exquisite, such a gorgeous bed, even people who are usually cold and affectionate can't help but feel a little moved, let alone those vulgar fans. (To be continued......)
