Chapter 328: The Bride
The greeting team left early in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
Xu Zheng's face was full of joy, and Cao Ying on his side was wearing a delicate wedding dress and a red hijab, unable to see his face, but his posture was slender and moving.
Worship heaven and earth! Two worship high halls! Husband and wife worship each other!
Zou sat upright, watching a couple of newcomers salute him, happy and happy in his heart.
I've been looking forward to it for many years, and I've finally looked forward to this day!
Xu Zheng won the top prize in the examination, and married a wife. Even now, she closes her eyes, and she is satisfied and has no regrets.
Xu Jinyu stood aside, quietly staring at Xu Zheng, who was radiant and full of spring breeze, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
Xu Zheng was alone in his previous life, never married a wife, and never tasted the beauty of mutual love. In this life, Xu Zheng finally has his own happiness.
After worshipping, a couple was sent to a new house.
Xu Zheng's colleagues of the same year rushed in, and they didn't know what they were making a fuss about, and laughter came from time to time.
On such an occasion, Xu Jinyu was naturally inconvenient to go in, so she and Zou accompanied the ladies who came to congratulate them to chat. The Xu family has no relatives in the capital, and most of the people who came to congratulate them today were for Xu Zheng.
Hanyu and Ji Yu also came.
Hanyu's pregnancy has been revealed, her pretty face has plumped up, and her eyes are shining with satisfaction and peace. Xu Jinyu glanced at Hanyu and said with a smile: "You are pregnant, you should raise the fetus in the house with peace of mind, just send someone over and say it, why did you come here on purpose." ”
Hanyu replied with a smile: "I used to do the work of serving people, and my body is not so delicate. I'll tell you the truth. After I got pregnant, I didn't have any special reactions, and I was able to eat and sleep. I'm in good shape! ”
Hanyu's voice is still low and ugly, and it probably won't return to its original state in this life.
However, she is now bitter. Wei Ning waited for her very well, she was pregnant again, and she would give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, and she would have something to rely on in this life.
Hanyu was very understanding and didn't say a word about Xu Jinyu's intentional estrangement.
Ji Yu is not so knowledgeable. Pouting and pouting, he said angrily, "Cousin Jin, it's been a long time since you came to Weining Houfu to look for me. Now my brother has died, and His Royal Highness King Qin has been stabbed to death again. Our Hou Mansion is not as good as before, are you unwilling to move around with us? ”
There is a sense of accusation in the words.
Hanyu stopped Ji Yu with a little embarrassment: "Jin Niang has decided on a family affair, and she wants to stay in the boudoir to get married, so it is not appropriate to go out and walk around." It is by no means a deliberate snub that alienates us. It's not appropriate for the third lady to say that. ”
looked at Xu Jinyu apologetically: "Jinniang." The third lady has always been this impatient temper, and she speaks without intention, so don't take it to heart. ”
Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Speaking of which, it's indeed mine." Cousin Yu blames me, too. I'm not going to give my cousin a companion. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and saluted.
Xu Jinyu apologized so solemnly, and Ji Yu was also a little embarrassed: "I just said it casually, you also know me as a person, and I rush out when I think of something." I don't have a brain at all. Don't be mad at me. ”
has experienced so many things, and Ji Yu, who was originally wanton and impatient, has also grown a lot. It's much better than before in dealing with people.
When I saw Ji Yu, I inevitably thought of Ji Yu again.
Since that day, the two have not seen each other again. Today, the Xu family held a happy event, and Ji Yu sent someone to send a generous gift, but no one showed up.
The girlfriends who once knew each other and cherished each other gradually drifted apart until they broke up, which made people have to sigh.
Every time she thought of Ji Yu, Xu Jinyu's mood dimmed a little, and she quickly cheered up again, and asked with a smile: "By the way, why didn't my cousin-in-law come with you today?" ”
Ji Yu hurriedly replied: "The two children are young, and they can't do without people around them, so she has to take care of the children, so naturally she can't come." ”
Hanyu sighed and took over the conversation: "After the death of the son, she fell seriously ill and was depressed for a long time. Even the children don't have time to take care of it. Now it's finally slowly recovering. ”
Xu Jinyu thought of Gu Caiping and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Ji Ze died, leaving Gu Caiping with endless sadness and disappointment, as well as two children waiting to be fed.
However, the dead are gone, and no matter how sad and sad they are, they can't come back. Those who are alive have to take heart together
Early the next morning.
Zou woke up early, dressed up, and waited for his new daughter-in-law to serve him tea.
Xu Jinyu waited with the Zou family, and laughed in a low voice: "Mother, you got up too early, and you waited today!" "The night of candles in the cave room is the time when the newlyweds are hot, and it is almost late today.
Zou smiled disapprehantly: "Just wait for a while, there is nothing else anyway." I wish that the young husband and wife would be affectionate and harmonious, conceive an heir as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for our Xu family. ”
The mother and daughter talked and laughed, and sure enough, after waiting for half an hour, Xu Zheng led his newlywed wife to come.
"Mother, sister, let you two wait for a long time." Xu Zheng smiled calmly: "I got up late this morning. ”
Cao Ying, who was standing beside him, had a delicate and elegant face that had already turned red, and hung his head shyly.
Zou immediately smiled: "It's not too late, it's me and Jinniang who got up early." ”
Xu Jinyu held back a smile and echoed seriously: "Yes, it was me and my mother who got up early." Sister-in-law, hurry up and come to the tea. My mother has already prepared the meeting gift. ”
Cao Ying's heart warmed and responded gently.
Most of the daughters-in-law who are new to the door will be made difficult by their in-laws, and they can be regarded as setting rules after passing the door. Cao Ying's tea ceremony was very smooth.
Zou almost immediately took the tea, took a sip, and then gave the meeting gift to Cao Ying with a smile: "This is the jade jade bracelet that our Xu family has passed down to the ancestors, and it is only passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law." I've been wearing it for more than ten years, and now that you've crossed the door, I'll give you this pair of bracelets. ”
Cao Ying hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and replaced the red gold bracelet on his wrist on the spot.
The smile in Zou's eyes was a little more.
Cao Ying was born in a famous family, knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a gentle temperament. What's even rarer. There is no arrogance, intelligence and unassuming. She is really satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Zou said a few words of advice with a pleasant face: "Our Xu family has a small population, and there are not so many rules. All three meals a day are eaten together. If you don't have anything to get used to, just open your mouth and say it. ”
Cao Ying's voice lingered softly, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.
The Xu family has a simple population, and the Zou family has a generous and gentle temperament, not such a bitter mother-in-law. The sister-in-law Xu Jinyu is gentle and considerate, and empathetic. It is really her blessing to be able to marry into the Xu family.
The next day. Xu Zheng accompanied Cao Ying back to the door.
The first time the new aunt came to the door, he was the most noble, and his father-in-law and two uncles accompanied him to the study to chat. Cao Ying went back to the boudoir when she was not married.
Mrs. Cao took Cao Ying's hand. asked in a low voice: "Ah Ying, are you still used to marrying into the Xu family for the past two days?" How does your uncle treat you? Did your mother-in-law make things difficult for you? And sister-in-law, how are you getting along? ”
Cao Ying replied with a smile: "My husband is gentle and considerate, and treats me very well." My mother-in-law didn't bother me. When eating. I want to stand and wait for my mother-in-law to eat. They were all rejected by her mother-in-law. said that there are so many people in the family, and someone does the stuff of serving soup with vegetables, so I don't have to do it. ”
"As for Jin Niang, she and I were originally close friends in the boudoir, and we talked together to relieve boredom and were companions, and our temperaments were very similar."
Mrs. Cao suddenly stretched her brows: "That's good." ”
Marrying her daughter to the Xu family was indeed the right decision.
The Xu family is not very rich, but. It can also be called a comfortable life, food and clothing. Cao Ying melted into the Xu family so quickly, and she, a mother, was also a troublemaker.
Mrs. Cao asked some more intimate words. Cao Ying's face turned red.
Cao Yingsheng responded a few words, then lowered his head, and was no longer embarrassed to speak.
Mrs. Cao smiled dumbly: "Silly girl, since you are married to a wife, things between husband and wife are inevitable, what is there to be ashamed of." If you conceive an heir as soon as possible, you will really gain a firm foothold in the Xu family. ”
"The Xu family has a small population, and there are few people. What's more, Xu Jinyu will get married in May. Your sister-in-law doesn't have much time to spend with each other. ”
After a pause, Mrs. Cao said in a low voice: "Ah Ying, the Xu family has such a good family affair as the Anguo Mansion, you have to be clever and make more friends with Jinniang." In the future, there will be a time when I will ask for her. ”
Even so, it's a bit snobbish. However, this is also human nature. Everyone is happy to associate with people who are beneficial to them.
Cao Ying responded softly: "That's what my mother said." ”
The newlyweds are mixed with oil in honey, and the good ones are reluctant to separate. However, Xu Zheng's marriage leave is only seven days, and the time passes in a flash.
Seven days later, Xu Zheng resumed going to Hanlin Academy every day. The Xu family is left with only Zou Xu Jinyu and Cao Ying.
Cao Ying is quite polite, and every morning and dusk is set up, and it is never too late.
Zou smiled and said with disgust: "Didn't I say it, sleep more every day, you don't always have to worry about coming to say goodbye." Just a few members of this family, where should we pay attention to so many false courtesies. ”
Cao Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "How is this a false courtesy." Ever since I got married, my mother-in-law has treated me kindly. I can marry into the Xu family, it must be a blessing from my previous life. My mother-in-law didn't set any rules for me, and I came to say hello every day, just to talk about the intention of being a junior. ”
That's a good thing to say.
Zou was in a good mood when he heard this, and praised with a smile: "Zheng'er married you, which is his blessing." He took the opportunity to teach Xu Jinyu a lesson: "You are also the one who is going to get married." There are also many rules for the great business of the Anguo Mansion, and you will have to have a snack when you act and speak in the future, and learn more from your sister-in-law. ”
Xu Jinyu nodded, and then sighed deliberately sourly: "The sister-in-law has just passed the door, and the mother is partial to the sister-in-law everywhere." Now in my mother's heart, my sister-in-law is much more important than me. ”
The funny Zou and Cao Ying both laughed.
Cao Ying asked Zou with concern: "Mother-in-law, Jinniang's good days are near, are the dowries ready?" ”
Zou replied with a smile: "I have purchased a lot, but I haven't done it all." After a pause, he said: "The time you have been married in is still short, and there are some things that I haven't had time to tell you." I sold most of my belongings and brought them to the capital that day, and bought this house, and divided the rest of the silver into three parts. One is reserved for Zheng'er to marry you, one is reserved for my private pension, and one is for Jinniang to buy a dowry. about three thousand taels of silver. ”
Cao Ying's dowry is quite rich, and the total amount of zero and zero adds up to about 10,000 taels of silver.
In comparison, Xu Jinyu's dowry is much thinner.
What's more, Xu Jinyu's husband's family is a big Anguo mansion, and Xu Jinyu only brought these dowries to marry, for fear that she would be underestimated.
Cao Ying thought for a while and said, "Mother-in-law, I still have some private room in my hands, let's add makeup to Jinniang together when the time comes!" ”
Zou was stunned and was about to open his mouth, but Xu Jinyu had already politely refused: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness." What is the family background of our family, Chen Yuanzhao was very clear from the beginning. He didn't marry me for any dowry. So don't worry about that. ”
Cao Ying smiled slightly: "General Chen and you are heart-to-heart, of course, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is." However, when a woman gets married, she has to face more than just her husband. He doesn't care, there are always others who care. ”
Such as mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt and so on.
There are many rights and wrongs in the house, and when the women get together, they inevitably have to compare the high and low. None of the female dependents in Anguo's mansion are fuel-efficient lamps, and Xu Jinyu's dowry is less, so she will inevitably be ridiculed and ridiculed.
Xu Jinyu felt the concern revealed by Cao Ying's words, and her heart swelled with warmth: "Sister-in-law, I know that you are thinking about me. However, I won't ask for your private room. ”
"Yes, you keep your private money for yourself." Zou took over the conversation with a smile: "I plan to take out part of the dowry sent by An Guofu and bring it to the Chen family as a dowry for Jinniang." ”
Zou had apparently had already planned to do so.
Cao Ying smiled shyly: "It turns out that my mother-in-law has already planned for Jinniang. I just talked too much. ”
"You can think of this, it shows that you care about Jinniang, how can you be considered a mouthful." Zou said with a smile: "Jin Niang will get married soon, and you two sisters-in-law will have to get along well in the future." ”
"Of course."
Cao Ying and Xu Jinyu said in unison, and then smiled at each other.
"What are you guys talking about, smiling so happily." Xu Zheng's hearty voice sounded at the door.
Cao Ying reflexively got up and took a few steps, and soon stopped again. Zou and Xu Jinyu are both there, and her eager appearance falls into their eyes, which is really embarrassing
Xu Zheng walked in quickly and naturally took Cao Ying's hand. smiled and shouted Ah Ying, and then called his sister and mother.
Xu Zheng's intimate behavior made Cao Ying's face suddenly blush, and he lowered his head in shame.
Xu Jinyu saw Cao Ying's shyness in her eyes, first smiled secretly, and couldn't help but feel slightly sour in her heart. In the past, the first thing Xu Zheng did when he came back was to talk to her, after getting married, the position of the daughter-in-law rose rapidly, and the sister and mother had to be in the back row.
Xu Jinyu quickly put this gloomy and lost emotion aside.
Xu Zheng and Cao Ying's love for sweetness is a good thing, she should be happy for them
