The Fang family's daughter made a big decision today, although it was a happy event, but after all, it was not an official marriage, and the pomp was limited, so they did not put on a big banquet, but only invited close relatives and friends to sit at the table. When Zhao Xiu arrived at Fang's house, he first met Mrs. Fang, said goodbye, and followed Fang Renzhu to the back to sit with the girls

The ceremony was carried out in the upper room of the main courtyard of the Fang family, the upper room was large, and a rectangular room was separated by a blue gauze cupboard, in which three or four round tables were placed, and there was an arhat bed against the wall in the middle, Fang Huizhu sat on it, and several sisters were talking around her. The ladies who came to He today sat in front and watched the ceremony with Mrs. Fang, and the girls sat around in the blue gauze cupboard and laughed. Fang Huizhu is the main master, she just needs to sit still and show up when the time comes, and she doesn't have to worry about everything. The task of entertaining all the ladies is in charge of Fang Renzhu.

Although Zhao Xiu doesn't like Fang Huizhu, he can still do superficial work. With a smile on her face, she stepped forward and said "congratulations" to the other party. Fang Huizhu was talking to someone, but when she saw that she was coming, she paused, showed a dignified smile, got up and bent her knees slightly: "Thank you, sister." "That's very polite.

Fang Huizhu is now married and will be the second young lady of Meishan Bofu in the future, and she is a member of the noble team. She can no longer boast that she is a famous scholar and looks down on people, and it is impossible for her to enter the palace as a concubine and use her identity to oppress people. In terms of the rank of the noble, although she did not know the friendship between the two Zhao Qiu families, she knew that the marquis was higher than the earl, so she had no confidence for the time being. Before Zhao Xiu's marriage was confirmed, she felt that she was better to be polite. Of course, it's just a polite way.

Zhao Xiu thought to herself, she just knew how to be polite. There is no need to pretend to be affectionate, lest she work hard in acting, and it will be even harder for her to act with her.

Zhao Xiu didn't mean to answer. Fang Huizhu was reserved and refused to say anything, and the scene was a little cold. Fang Renzhu saw it, and pulled Zhao Xiu to Cao Luo's table and sat down with a very good eye. Fang Huizhu's expression stiffened a little, but the other cousins surrounded her again and said good things, and she smiled again.

Zhao Xiu got along well with Cao Luo, Feng Xiuqin and the Liu sisters at the same table, chatted a few words casually, and then began to look at the other people in the room. Somehow. She found that there were a lot of ladies and ladies present today, and almost all the girls who had come to the poetry meeting on the day of Laba had arrived. Even Miss Wang didn't fall behind, which made Zhao Xiu very surprised.

Miss Wang is such an unfashionable girl, and she has had a lot of conflicts with the Fang sisters, and she was actually invited to participate in Fang Huizhu's ceremony. What did the Fang family think?

Zhao Xiu was puzzled. The face is not revealed. For most of these girls who have only met once or twice, she is not familiar with each other, but she just maintains politeness, and wants her to be more intimate with others, but she can't be affectionate. Most of the people are happy about Fang Huizhu's marriage, how prominent the Meishan Bofu is, and how his wife, grandmother and girls get along gently. It's really good to say that Fang Huizhu can be such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law...... Etcetera.

Zhao Xiu also understands that on such an occasion, it is appropriate to say such things. It's just that she really doesn't know much about Meishan Bofu, and what she understands seems to be a little different from what others say, so she doesn't know what to say. She didn't want to lie for the Qiu family, so she was a little silent. Fortunately, among the girls present, in addition to Cao Luo, Feng Xiuqin and others, there are also a few who have participated in the warm house wine of Jiannan Houfu, but they are quite familiar with her, and they can chat about the recent situation when they meet, so as not to make her too boring. After a while, Fang Renzhu came back in a circle, sat down next to her, and began to talk to her. Zhao Xiu's mood suddenly improved a lot.

The auspicious time soon arrived. Meishan Bofu was very punctual, and Mrs. Meishan Bo personally brought someone to send the dowry to the Fang family. The front of the room suddenly became lively. The girls heard it behind them, and they were also very curious, so they stopped laughing and listened quietly to the movement outside the blue gauze closet.

The dowry of Meishan Bofu is very rich, after the dragon and phoenix post and the big post, there is a gold and gem-inlaid Ruyi first, and the gold is carried all the way into the house in the sun, almost blinding everyone's eyes. There were two pairs of live geese in the back, which, according to Mrs. Meishanbo, were hunted by her second son. Then a pair of koi fish was added. Then carried into the courtyard were four people who carried the sea of wine, each weighing fifty pounds, and the servants who carried the sea of wine were about to be crushed. As for the clothes after that, silk satin, cotton yarn and fur, you name it. The clothes of the four seasons and all kinds of shoes and socks are made of a variety of bright and precious clothing, which are either woven with gold or covered with exquisite embroidery, and the red acacia brocade quilt is also very festive. This was followed by boxes of jewelry, one-foot-square rosewood boxes six inches deep, each full of gold beads or precious stones. Even the specially customized dragon and phoenix wedding cakes are larger than the common ones, and they are full of two lifts, and a total of eight servants are called to carry them, and the rest of the steamed fruits are not mentioned.

The dowry gift sent by Meishan Bofu, except for the sea of wine and the goose cage, is all packed in a red lacquer and gold-edged lifting box, with a full thirty-two lifts, and all of them are affordable to the naked eye. From the moment Mrs. Fang was admitted to the hospital with the Ruyi box, the corners of her mouth twitched. After everything filled the entire courtyard, she calmed down. The rich dowry means that Meishan Bofu attaches great importance to Fang Huizhu, the future daughter-in-law, which is a good thing, isn't it? Fang Huizhu is angry and disappointed, it is also her own flesh and blood born in October, and she naturally hopes that the child will live well in the future. How about the bride price? The Fang family is not greedy for this, and will still put it in their daughter's dowry and carry it back to Meishan Bofu as it is.

Thinking like this, when Mrs. Fang faced Mrs. Meishanbo, her attitude was very calm, and she was not surprised at all by the importance of the dowry, and her words and deeds were dignified. Mrs. Meishan Bo saw it, but she had a high opinion of this future mother-in-law. Scholarly and famous, it is really different, seeing such wealth, he can sit still and be able to sit still, he is not a lover of money. It seems that her family's rich dowry can be taken back intact. The corners of Mrs. Meishanbo's mouth were slightly upturned, and she was in a good mood.

Mrs. Fang was calm, and the other relatives and friends here barely maintained their manners. However, the little girls behind the blue yarn cabinet are not so deep in the city.

Miss Liu Er saw the gold-inlaid treasure Ruyi. I couldn't help but blurt out: "It's so cheesy!" Immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth. Next to him, Cao Luo hurriedly remedied: "Ruyi looks very valuable, I really value Big Sister Fang when I want to come to Meishan Bofu." The others echoed with a dry laugh.

But as the back head came in, there were more and more dowry gifts. The thoughts of each man became complicated. Miss Wang once again made her distinctive remarks: "The daughter of this Qiu family, her eyes are really gaudy, and the things she sent are either red and green or golden flowers, and we are not all the way, and we are really worthy of being a noble family." ”

The girl beside her whispered to her in a panic: "Don't say it, Mrs. Meishan is still outside." Miss Wang shut up, but the disdain on her face was still very obvious.

In fact, the lady invited by the Fang family. Most of them are in the circle of Wenchen, and they have their own unique aesthetics, and even the big girl Wang who came out of the storm thinks that the dowry sent by Meishan Bofu is too cheesy. What's more, it's the daughter of the scholarly eunuch's family? But most people don't say it, it's just that the little girl is shallow, and many people have this meaning on their faces.

Fang Huizhu felt panicked on her face. She didn't expect this to be the case. Today, she specially asked her mother to invite a few more friends. Even Miss Wang was invited. Not for anything else, but to let them know what a prominent family affair they have. Since she lost the way to enter the palace, she always felt that when others looked at her, there was ridicule in their eyes, and there were people who refused to marry one after another, and there was a girl's family who came to congratulate today. She held her breath and wanted to let everyone know today. Although she did not marry into a famous scholarly family or a high-ranking official family, she also married a noble family with a title. The husband doesn't have to study hard for the imperial examination, he is already an official! What if you can't be in the cabinet in the future? Could it be that all the children of those scholarly and famous families can enter the cabinet as ministers? As soon as she got married, she had a destiny in her body, she was married higher than these girls, and they don't know how many years they will have to work hard in the future to get to the position she is about to stand, and they only have envy and admiration for her!

But the dowry sent by Meishan Bofu is so "affordable", either gold and silver or pearl and jade, not red or green, not woven gold or brocade, everything must be big, more, and shiny, as if telling others "My family is rich", which is too cheesy! Although Fang Huizhu took a fancy to the marriage of Meishan Bofu, and also felt that the Qiu family was rich and noble, but after all, she was the daughter of a scholarly family, and she appreciated the elegance and wealth more, so she was a little unbearable for the Qiu family's style. She couldn't help complaining in her heart: Can't the Qiu family send some more elegant materials? This big red, green, purple, red peach, powder, mud gold...... How can people get on such gaudy materials? Can't you put more pearls and jade in your jewelry? And the Ruyi, why is it gold-inlaid with miscellaneous treasures? A jade ruyi is very good. Her parents have prepared things for their only son Fang Jinqi to marry, and the next one is a mutton fat white jade Ruyi, which is both elegant and valuable. Where is the Xiangqiu family, it is gold and miscellaneous treasures, and it is unbearable! Even if the Qiu family thinks that this can better reflect the importance of her as a daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, don't embarrass her in front of so many people!

There was also silence outside the blue yarn cupboard, but soon someone smiled and said, "It's really worthy of Bofu, such wealth." Mrs. Fang is so blessed that her daughter can marry into such a family. "yes, yes." "Meishan Bofu is really good-looking, our eldest girl......"

The girls in the blue yarn closet began to whisper to each other: "Actually, it's nothing, as long as the in-laws value it, after all, they are Xungui, it's not the same as us......" "Yes, of course our scholars are different from Xungui's style, the Qiu family is rich, at least Sister Fang will marry in the future without worrying about food and clothing." "Mrs. Meishan seems to be quite kind, Sister Fang has such a mother-in-law, and she will be blessed in the future."

What they said was happy for Fang Huizhu, but the eyes that looked at Fang Huizhu revealed a little pity. What the girls thought in their hearts was not that Fang Huizhu would be rich and noble in the future, her husband was still an official, and she would have a destiny when she married, but that Fang Huizhu, who was full of poetry and books, married into this kind of nouveau riche, which was really pitiful!

Fang Huizhu continued to sit upright on the Luohan bed, but felt that the cushion under her seemed to have thorns. Her face turned red, and she could only bite her lip and endure it. She began to regret that she should have invited fewer girls with no eyes today, but should have invited a few more girls from noble backgrounds.

She couldn't help but set her eyes on Zhao Xiu, who was sitting next to her sister Injoo. Zhao Xiu is an out-and-out noble daughter, and her family is also rich and noble, so in the face of the discussions of the people around her, don't you want to say a few words for the noble?
