Chapter 247: Marriage
After the marriage of the phoenix decree, it is the exchange of Geng posts and the official dowry of the marriage.
An Guogong was very dissatisfied with this family business, and was even more indifferent to how to handle Chen Yuanzhao's lifelong affairs, and let it go. Ye was not angry, but he was helpless, and he put all his spirit into handling all the trivial things.
A month later, the Chen family and the Xu family exchanged Geng posts, selected an auspicious day, and waited for the dowry.
Ye specially told Chen Yuanzhao in private: "You and Xu Jinyu have already decided to be married, so you should be more shy about it in the future, and don't meet in private before getting married." β
Chen Yuanzhao hummed perfunctorily, obviously not taking Ye's words to heart, and opened his mouth to ask, "The dowry is ready!" β
Ye replied with a smile: "It has been prepared for a long time." Do you want to see the dowry list? β
When she said this, she was joking. With Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, how could he be willing to ask about such a thing
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanzhao nodded: "It's okay." β
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, slightly unhappy in his heart, and said half-jokingly: "I am just a son like you, how can I not care about your marriage." Do you still doubt me? β
Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows a little impatiently: "It's you who let me see it, and now I say that I doubt you." Do you want me to see the dowry list, or don't you want me to see it? β
Ye Shi was choked, his face was not very good-looking, he pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything, and gave the dowry list in his hand to Chen Yuanzhao.
The relationship between mother and son is indifferent and indifferent, and they are not close. Most of the reasons are on Chen Yuanzhao. Ever since Chen Yuanzhao revealed that he knew the secret of his life experience. Ye's confidence as a mother inevitably weakened a little.
Regardless of her initial hardships, it was always true that she was unchaste with her husband. Chen Yuanzhao's life experience will never be seen, and he can only be the son of An Guogong. An Guogong disliked Chen Yuanzhao's indifference. It's just anger at her.
Because of this, Ye felt a little more guilty about Chen Yuanzhao and accommodated everything. went to great lengths to promote this family affair, but also to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between mother and son
It's a pity that the effect is not obvious now.
Chen Yuanzhao opened the thick list of dowry gifts and read it again.
Even if you have never been married or given a dowry, you just look at the various dowries listed on the list. I also know the dedication of the Ye family. Chen Yuanzhao's cold eyebrows softened slightly, and he returned the list to Ye's: "Hard mother." β
The fluttering words made Ye Shi sigh.
For several years. Mother and child get together less and leave more. When they met, there were many disputes, and she hadn't heard such warm words for a long time: "I am your mother, and it is my business to handle family affairs for you, and there is nothing hard work." There is nothing wrong with that. You'll leave early tomorrow to give the dowry. β
It's overdue. The family affair is officially decided. In the future, just wait for the agreed marriage date to marry through the door.
Chen Yuanzhao nodded and agreed.
It is rare for a son to be so docile and obedient, and Ye Shi didn't know whether to be relieved or sad for a while. After thinking about it, it is always a great joy for a son to decide on a family affair, and when the daughter-in-law passes the door, it is not a good way to "train" the daughter-in-law first, and then use the daughter-in-law to influence Chen Yuanzhao's opinion and decision!
Thinking like this, Ye's mood improved again
The next day. The Anguo Mansion went to the Zou family's old house with great fanfare to give the dowry gift.
Chen Yuanzhao, who is famous in the capital for not being close to women, finally got married, and the other party is not a lady in the capital. It's a little-known girl who has been in the capital for less than a year, or the queen mother herself gave the marriage,
This family affair is spreading in the capital, and I don't know how many people are paying attention to it.
Chen Yuanzhao rode a horse in front, followed by a long procession of dowry bearers, and from time to time people on both sides of the street appeared to point at him, or whisper and laugh.
On weekdays, Chen Yuanzhao would have been frowning impatiently for a long time.
Today, of course, is different.
Chen Yuanzhao not only couldn't keep a straight face, but also tried his best to show that he was full of energy and joy. For Chen Yuanzhao, who was not born with a rich expression, it was obviously not an easy task.
Along with Chen Yuanzhao, there were also two brothers, Chen Yuanbai and Chen Yuanqing. Chen Yuanqing glanced at Chen Yuanzhao from time to time, and teased in a low voice: "Second brother, you better not laugh, so as not to scare the women and children on the side of the road." β
Chen Yuanzhao: ""
Chen Yuanzhao glanced at Chen Yuanqing coldly.
Chen Yuanqing didn't mind and grinned.
Chen Yuanbai rode a horse and followed behind the two, seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing in a low voice, they were very intimate, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
He and Chen Yuanzhao are brothers. Because of his father's partiality, the two brothers have not been close since they were young. As he grew older, his father's preference also made Chen Yuanbai gradually ambitious and coveted the position of a son who should not belong to him. Chen Yuanzhao also knows this.
As a result, the relationship between the two brothers became more and more delicate.
Compared with him, Chen Yuanzhao and Chen Yuanqing are more like brothers-in-law, the two are close, and he was isolated unintentionally
The team carrying the dowry walked very slowly, and it took two hours to reach the old house of the Zou family.
The old house of the Zou family opened the main entrance, and Xu Zheng, who was dressed in new clothes and in high spirits, stood at the main gate to greet him.
As a female dependent, it was not appropriate for Zou to come out to greet her, so he waited in the main hall. And the real protagonist Xu Jinyu has to stay in the boudoir all the time today and can't show up.
There is a woman in the family who is married, and she should have invited some relatives and friends to watch the ceremony, which is both lively and powerful. It's a pity that the Xu clan is all in Lin'an, and the Zou brother's family is not in the capital. Xiao Zou, the only one who can be called close, is "recuperating" again, and it is impossible to come. As a result, the Xu family simply didn't invite anyone.
The Xu family is thin, but on the side of the Anguo Mansion, the three brothers are here. Coupled with the long queue carrying the dowry and the number of guards, there is a strong and stark contrast.
Xu Zheng didn't panic at all, he was refreshed, smiled slightly and said, "My mother and I have been waiting for a long time, please come in!" β
Chen Yuanzhao nodded secretly in his heart.
The eldest brother is young. but with grace. The handsome and dazzling ones are like the bright moon on the horizon. It's no wonder that King Qin missed him especially in his previous life, and he never forgot it in this life.
King Qin looked at his face. I had to hold back for a while. Once he has the ambition, the day when he ascends to the throne, he will never let go of Xu Zheng.
Chen Yuanzhao and Xu Zheng are equally clear about this.
Today is a big day, Chen Yuanzhao didn't have the heart to think about this, and stepped into the old house of the Zou family. Chen Yuanbai and Chen Yuanqing walked in with Chen Yuanzhao.
Next, the family members carrying the dowry also came in one by one. The open space inside and outside the main hall is filled with various bridal gifts. There are still many dowry gifts that have not been brought in.
That's a lot of bridal gifts!
Zou had no choice but to take the dowry list, accept the dowry one by one, and let people carry the ones into the warehouse. Make room for it. The latter ones were brought in one by one.
Zou was very relieved and happy. It's not that she loves money, but from the rich dowry, she can see that Chen Yuanzhao's mother and son care about this family business. In the future, when her daughter marries into the Chen family, she will have a smooth life.
While rejoicing, I can't help but worry secretly.
The dowry of the Anguo Mansion is so extravagant. The dowry she originally prepared for Xu Jinyu was too shabby. If you want to worry, it will be a matter of the future, and you can be happy today
"Miss, Miss," Chu Xia ran in with her skirt and excited, her face was excited: "The Anguo Mansion has sent a lot of dowry gifts today. The whole storeroom was full, and there was a lot of open space outside! β
Chu Xia has been staying in the boudoir with Xu Jinyu today, but she is naturally a lively temper. When I heard the movement outside, I was itchy and slipped out to see the excitement. Haven't come back until now.
Xu Jinyu hummed, but did not raise her head, and continued to bow her head to do embroidery.
Chu Xia stepped forward to take a look, and joked with a smile: "Miss, can you really calm down and do embroidery?" It's been a long time, why haven't this peach petals been embroidered yet? β
Obviously in a nervous mood, but still pretend to be calm, tsk!
Xu Jinyu was told that she was confused, but she was not annoyed and angry, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "What else can I do if I don't do embroidery." I can't just go out and look around like you! β
Early Summer: ""
Rue Xiang on the side couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips with a smile.
Since revealing her true identity, Rue Xiang has often served by Xu Jinyu's side with Chu Xia. After a long time, Rue Xiang has become more and more familiar with Xu Jinyu's temperament.
Xu Jinyu is actually very assertive, and it is difficult for others to persuade her to change her mind when she is determined. It's just that this strong and resolute is hidden under a gentle and gentle appearance. Outsiders only see her gentleness, and only those who are familiar with and close to her know her true temper.
However, Xu Jinyu treats the people around her very kindly, especially in early summer, almost indulgent and spoiled. Which maid dares to talk to the master like this?
In the early summer, she was used to being teased by Xu Jinyu, and she didn't take it to heart, and soon returned to her cheerfulness and liveliness: "Miss, don't you really plan to go out to meet your future uncle?" β
Hearing the words of her future uncle, Xu Jinyu finally blushed, and glanced at Chu Xia with disgust: "The more you talk about it, the more unreasonable it becomes." β
Today is the day when Chen Yuanzhao came to give a dowry, how can she and Chen Yuanzhao meet on this kind of day?
Although she also wanted to see Chen Yuanzhao
According to the customs at this time, men and women who have made a marriage should not meet again before getting married. In other words, neither of them should see each other privately again for the next year or two. It's just that with Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, he may not take these vulgar rituals to heart, nor may he be willing to endure them for so long
I don't know what Xu Jinyu thought, two red clouds quietly flew up on her white and tender cheeks, and her eyes were full of a girl's shyness and charm.
Rue and Hatsu glanced at each other and smiled knowingly
Chen Yuanzhao really "informal", sent a wedding letter and a dowry, and after lunch, he said to Xu Zheng: "I want to see Ayu." β
Xu Zheng: ""
It's really straightforward! There is no beating around the bush.
Chen Yuanqing on the side also had an expression of "I really convinced you": "Second brother, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to meet Cousin Jin today!" β
Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "What's wrong with only seeing one side and saying a few words?" β
Chen Yuanqing was also asked rhetorically.
Yes, they are all fiancΓ©s, and they will stay together for the rest of their lives in the future, and they don't have to worry about any gossip. There's nothing wrong with seeing each other now!
Chen Yuanzhao ignored Chen Yuanqing and looked at Xu Zheng again: "Is it okay?" β
The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he spit out a few words: "Give you a cup of tea time." β
Chen Yuanzhao's brows furrowed. The temper of the difficult eldest brother is becoming more and more peaceful, which is an out-and-out good thing.
Xu Zheng personally led Chen Yuanzhao into the inner house, and said to the little maid guarding the courtyard: "You go in and report to the young lady, and say that the second son of Chen is here, please come out to see her." β
The little maid quickly ran to pass the word
What the?
Chen Yuanzhao actually came? Or did the eldest brother personally lead him here?!
Xu Jinyu couldn't believe her ears, and was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses in the excited voice of early summer: "Miss, the slave is waiting for you to freshen up and dress up." β
Dress up beautifully to meet your future uncle!
"No need." Xu Jinyu calmed down: "With the temper of the eldest brother, it would be good to let him come to see me." He will not be allowed to stay too long, probably just a few words. β
Time is short and precious, where is willing to waste.
Xu Jinyu pressed her pounding heart, and walked out of the room calmly. When they arrived at the side hall, Xu Zheng and Chen Yuanzhao were already waiting there.
Chen Yuanzhao was dressed the same as before, standing there casually, with no special expression on his handsome and breathtaking face. The moment he saw Xu Jinyu, his eyes lit up slightly, and the original condensation and indifference suddenly turned into softness.
Xu Jinyu shouted big brother, and then looked at Chen Yuanzhao, not knowing what to call for a while.
General Chen, the second son of Chen? The two have already decided to be married, and such a title is obviously too distant.
Second cousin Chen? It's a bit of a meaty one!
Call his name Chen Yuanzhao? It seems a little weird again
Chen Yuanzhao saw Xu Jinyu's hesitation, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and said, "Ah Yu, you will call me Zixi in the future." β
Zixi is Chen Yuanzhao's cousin, and such a title is obviously very intimate.
Xu Jinyu hesitated for a moment and shouted "Zixi".
Her voice is not very clear, it is softer and lower than that of ordinary women, and it is gentle and pleasant to listen to. It was as if the heartstrings were gently tugged at with a hand
She will be his wife, staying with him day and night, spending time with him through thick and thin, and never leaving him.
Chen Yuanzhao stared at Xu Jinyu, and his heart was filled with infinite tenderness: "Ah Yu! β
The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth twitched again.
He's here, apparently too much!
Xu Zheng didn't say a word, and quickly turned to leave. Of course, I didn't go too far, just waiting under the swing frame in the yard. After a cup of tea, he was going to urge Chen Yuanzhao to leave. Lest you stay here all the time, it's really not like words. (To be continued......)
