Chapter 272: Dowry
In the evening, Mrs. Xiao said to Su Ziming, "We have to start preparing Shanyun's dowry." ”
"Yes, I'm about to discuss this with you."
Su Shanyun's cheeks immediately turned red when she heard this. When she was thinking about whether to avoid it, Old Madam Xiao said: "It's okay, it's okay for you to listen to these things, anyway, you will have to arrange these things when you marry a daughter in the future." ”
"That was a long time later." Su Ziming smiled.
Su Shanyun also smiled.
"I went to Yuxiangxing yesterday to see it, and I took a fancy to a Huanghuali carved step bed, a lacquered gold screen-style dresser and a pair of vermilion lacquer carved straight boxes, the style is generous, and the quality is good." Su Ziming said to Mrs. Xiao, Zhang Ying and Su Shanyun.
"The second master has already bought a verandah-style stepping bed." Su Shanyun said busily.
"He buys it, he buys it, but we have to give a bed when you get married." Su Ziming said with a smile.
"Oh." Su Shanyun nodded hurriedly.
"Since the second master bought a step bed, let's buy a shelf bed." Old Madam Xiao said.
"Okay." Su Ziming nodded.
"The screen-type dresser and the pair of vermilion lacquer carved straight boxes can be used, which is generous and practical." Old Madam Xiao said again.
"Yes."
"You've got a lot of stuff to buy, so take a pen and write it down." Old Madam Xiao said.
So Su Ziming asked his subordinates to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
"A pair of mahogany wardrobes, a pair of dragon and phoenix bead pattern wood wine trees, a pair of cloud dragon pattern buckets, a pair of teapot barrels, a pair of wine jars, a pair of fruit barrels, a pair of dragon head barrels, a pair of mahogany boxes, a pair of bowls, a set of 'dowry paintings', a pair of lily pattern basins, a screen, a pair of descendant buckets, wealth buckets, cornucopias, a set of mouthwash utensils, a pair of mahogany bookcases, a pair of mahogany pestles, a pair of mahogany embroidered piers, a pair of sandalwood kang tables, a pair of sandalwood spring stools, a pair of sandalwood pedals, a pair of sandalwood warped heads, a pair of rich and noble white agate bowls, A set of plates, a set of mandarin duck lotus petal gold bowls, a set of plates, a set of white jade peony tea sets, a set of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang wine pots and wine glasses, a pair of flower and bird pattern boxes, a pair of hand stoves, a set of jewelry boxes, a table in front of the room, a cabinet in front of the bed, a pair of backrest chairs, a pair of mahogany coat hangers, a pair of mahogany brazier racks, a pair of pineapple flower painting tables, a sandalwood piano table, a set of eight immortal tables and chairs, a pair of rosewood vertical cabinets, a set of red double happiness futon pillows, a set of red mandarin duck embroidered cloud silk brocade quilt pillows, A set of red colorful lotus silk thin quilt pillows, 30 silk and satin each, a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious boxes, a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious boxes, a pair of red carved lacquer drawer boxes, and a pair of carved holding boxes......" Mrs. Xiao explained carefully.
Su Ziming recorded them one by one.
Old Madam Xiao thought for a while and continued: "One red sandalwood treasure pavilion, one Hanyu pen holder, pen holder, one set of water sheng, one green jade bottle, several calligraphy and paintings, and one set of clothes for the four seasons. ”
"Mmmm, that's a lot!" Su Ziming said with a smile.
Su Shanyun was dizzy when she heard it.
I don't know how much these things cost my father.
However, the amount of gift money given by Second Master Yan is also very large.
So she doesn't need to worry about her father's wallet.
"I'll think about it again...... old lady Xiao pondered.
"Women's red, jewelry." Zhang Ying reminded.
"Uh-huh. Yes, I'll leave it to you and me, we're more familiar with it. Old Madam Xiao said.
"Okay." Zhang Ying responded with a smile.
"We'd better do it in two months, so we don't have to be scrambling." Old Madam Xiao said again.
"Yes." Su Ziming nodded.
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Su Shanyun said busily.
"What's this? We saw that you were married so well, and it was too late to be happy in our hearts. Old Madam Xiao stroked Su Shanyun's head and said.
Thinking that she would soon become Yan Jinxuan's wife and soon be able to face him day and night, Su Shanyun was both happy and excited, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
She wrote a letter to Yan Jinxuan that night.
"Second master, are you okay during the days of separation? I miss you every day, and I wonder if you've come back from your errand? I'm worried about your safety. On July 8, the third prince and Zhou Zhou got married, and I will probably leave for Beijing at the end of June, and I will see you as soon as possible...... A thousand words cannot be exhausted. We hope you are doing the best! ”
Before she knew it, Su Shanyun had written five pages.
When she folded the letter, she couldn't help but spread it out and added: Thank God for letting me meet you!
After writing this sentence, she couldn't hold back her tears.
It was a tear full of lovesickness.
……………….
One afternoon a few days later. When Su Shanyun was practicing shooting in the garden, he suddenly heard a commotion on the verandah, and hurriedly asked Lu He to take a look.
Lu He soon came back and reported: "Miss, it is Mrs. Guo from Wutong Lane who is here, crying and crying. It's as if something big has happened. ”
Su Shanyun hurriedly put down the bow and arrow. Carrying the hem of her skirt, she walked over there.
Guo had already entered the living room with the support of Mrs. Xiao and Zhang Ying. Su Shanyun thought about it, and did not follow into the living room, but instructed Lu He: "You go and listen to it." Stay in the garden and let me know. ”
"Yes." Green Lotus obediently went to the living room.
Su Shanyun continued to practice shooting.
After a while, she didn't see Lu Lotus coming, but when she saw Su Ziming, who came back from the lower office, was also called to the living room, she couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that something happened to my uncle's family?
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and suddenly she was in no mood to practice shooting.
She returned to her room with her bow and arrows.
"Mama Song, you can also go to the living room to have a look." Su Shanyun said to Mama Song.
"Okay." Mama Song immediately took the order and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, Mama Song came back and said to her, "Miss, it's Mrs. Guo's niece who has an accident. ”
"Huh? What happened to her? Su Shanyun was shocked.
"Mrs. Guo's niece has never been pregnant since she married into the Lan family, you know this, right?" Mama Song asked.
"Yes."
It turned out that her husband had a woman and children outside for a long time, so he often didn't come home. Maybe it's because of this that she ...... with Du Liuye next door," Mama Song was embarrassed to say it clearly.
After all, Su Shanyun has not yet left the cabinet.
But Su Shanyun immediately understood what she meant, and hurriedly asked, "Then what?" ”
"When the Lan family found out about this, her husband said that he wanted to reconcile with her, and her parents came to beg each other, hoping that he would give her a chance, but her husband's attitude was very resolute, so she couldn't think about it for a while and hanged herself." Mama Song whispered.
"Ahh Su Shanyun's face turned pale suddenly.
She ...... Have you been rescued? Su Shanyun hurriedly asked.
"I was saved, but fortunately I found it early."
Su Shanyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But her husband was determined to reconcile with her, but her parents were also unhappy that he had a woman outside, so the two families were now quarreling very much. Mrs. Guo had no choice but to run to your father for help. ”
"What did my dad say?"
"Your father asked Mrs. Guo, 'What is the attitude of the sixth master of the family next door?' , Mrs. Guo said, 'He said that it was Guo Wanzhu who hooked/hooked him first.' Then Mrs. Guo asked Guo Wanzhu again, and Guo Wanzhu said that it was Du Liuye who sweetly coaxed her first, insisting on her own words, and no one would let anyone, and then your father said, 'I don't think her husband and the sixth master are good things, it's better to get along and leave'. But Mrs. Guo was unwilling, she was afraid that Guo Wanzhu would not be able to marry in the future. ”
"And then?"
"Then your father said there was nothing else to do, and then Mrs. Guo began to cry, and now your grandmother and stepmother are comforting her in the living room." (To be continued......)
