After making up enough numbers, Grandma Li Er arrived at Biling's boudoir, and the wedding dress had already been embroidered, but Biling always felt that it was not beautiful enough, so she bought silver thread and added some floral decorations to the cuff skirt.

"Daughter, this time I gave you all the value for my mother, and I did it better than your sister?"

Biling smiled and said nothing, only continued to embroider the wedding dress.

Second Grandma Li said again: "You have to have a long conscience, don't be like your sister, you don't care about your family as soon as you get married." Your two younger brothers are still young, and they still expect you to pull them. ”

Bi Ling replied shyly: "I can save it." ”

The mother was talking to her daughter here, and Second Master Li also came in and coughed lightly.

Biling got up and saluted.

Second Master Li said: "I gave you a dowry of fifty-four raises." Eight shops, four Zhuangzi, your grandmother chose twelve companion rooms for you, and the wedding girls are the three big girls around you. Some of the twelve companion houses stayed in the Zhuangzi, and some worked as stewards in the shop. Go to your grandmother tomorrow and let her talk to you. ”

When Biling was in the eldest sister's boudoir, she was taking care of the housework in the second room, and she knew very well about her mother's grange and shop, "Is it the Zhuangzi and shop of my mother earlier?" ”

Second Grandma Li replied "yes", "And your grandmother and great-grandmother each married a Zhuangzi." ”

Second Master Li said: "I heard that the third aunt is a successful instrument, and he has opened the largest auction house, and the business is very good, and he can make a lot of money in a month." Sighing lightly, "My father-in-law is sick at home because of the cold, and I don't know if he's getting better?" ”

People who practice martial arts, who are physically strong and well, are sick when they say they are sick, and they still haven't been to the court for many days.

Second Grandma Li advised: "If you make money, don't waste it." After passing the door, I have to manage my uncle's money, buy more shops and Zhuangzi, and give birth to a daughter when I turn around, but don't be like me, my dowry is not enough......"

The grandmother on the side hurriedly said: "The second grandmother's words are too unlucky, and the third lady must be a daughter born after the son." ”

Second Grandma Li was straight-mouthed and immediately dumbfounded, which is the most good thing to say before marriage.

Always say the wrong thing, or don't say it, lest you commit a taboo.

For her, the most correct thing she did in her life was to cause trouble at the Jiang family's banquet, and Biling came forward to admit it to everyone on her behalf, and she advanced and retreated appropriately, which only entered the eyes of the old lady and the eldest lady of the Jiang family, otherwise, who knew that there was a Li Biling in the Li family who was a virtuous and decent woman.

The marriage of the Li and Jiang families is imminent, and the Pingxi Houfu has begun to be busy with the last time.

On February 21, someone from the Murong family in Jiangnan came, and the three brothers of the Murong family, who had never met the Jiang family, brought a few sons of the Murong family and Xiaoliu who had been away from home for almost a year to pass the gift into the imperial city. Because they are the eldest sons of the Murong family, they rarely meet, and the brothers are now doing smoothly in the Jiangnan area, each of them has brought a car or two of congratulatory gifts, and there are also rare overseas ornaments in the imperial city, or transparent mirrors as bright as water, or ticking pendulum clocks, and fragrant fragrances......

Murong led his children and accompanied his mother's brothers to reunite in the flower hall, thinking of his childhood, this time he had been away from home for twenty years, and the tears came down.

Uncle Murong frowned: "What are you crying about?" Didn't our brother and sister meet? My mother also wanted to come, but my mother was old and couldn't stand the toss. I heard that Chuanyuan and Zhanyan were going to get married, so I personally chose a congratulatory gift. ”

After the gift arrived in Jiangnan, he learned martial arts under the second uncle of Murong, hugged his fists and said: "Master, I want to go to Fudong to see my grandfather, grandmother, and my little aunt. ”

Second Uncle Murong answered.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy shouted, "Chuan Li, I'll go too!" ”

Chuanli hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's rare to meet your aunt, and rest for a while, I'll come to play with you tomorrow." ”

The three brothers of Murong's mother's family brought a lot of good things, because they remembered that the second wife had a mother-in-law, so they naturally had to honor the second elder, and brought gifts to the big room, the third room, and the sixth room.

The third uncle of Murong Zhang and his subordinates moved all the gifts to the special warehouse of Qinglin Garden.

Zhan Yan was embroidering his dowry, and he heard a joke that Jiangnan's uncle was here, and there were a few cousins who had never met, so he put down the embroidery needle and ran to the Qinglin Yuan Flower Hall.

When the two families meet, they have a lively experience.

In the afternoon, Chuanyuan and Chuanyuan returned home, Zhanyan instructed the big kitchen to prepare a family banquet to entertain his uncle and cousin, and the Yu family heard that Murong's mother's family came to attend Chuanyuan's wedding, so he specially sent three jars of fruit wine.

That night, Uncle Murong personally picked out a half-human high oval carved transparent mirror, satin, and silk that are only available overseas, as well as a red coral tree more than two feet high, a pair of jade Ruyi, and six lifts, so that it could be counted as a dowry for the three uncles of the Murong family.

Murong said in surprise: "Can you add more when you go out as a dowry?" ”

She didn't know the rules of the road, so she sent her grandmother to the big room to ask.

Shen Shi was not at ease, she came here to take a look, she was startled, and when she saw the transparent mirror like water, it was the first time she had seen it, walking through the street like this, I don't know how many people would be stunned.

Uncle Murong laughed loudly, and at first glance he was a heroic person, "When I was at home when I was a child, I only knew how to dance with guns and sticks, and I didn't know anything about housework, I was so adult, and I didn't know as much about some rules." ”

Murong didn't believe it, and only asked Shen.

Shen smiled: "If there is a dowry, I will make up the dowry after I go out." If the emperor is generously gracious, or if there is a gift from a close relative, it must be added when it comes to valuables. You have to add it to the list, so you might as well add it to the top. ”

Although Uncle Murong is a person who walks the rivers and lakes and goes south and north to do business, he can write well, so he took a pen and added it, and wrote two pages full.

Shen took a look at it, and the old lady didn't like Murong in the early years, so look at the dowry gifts added by these three uncles, which one is not a valuable item. This time, I'm afraid that the wedding of the prince of Pingxi Houfu will cause a sensation in the city.

Shen asked, "Is the guest room ready?" ”

"Okay, it's Zhan Yan who is going to prepare, the three brothers are settled in the Qingzhu courtyard, and a few nephews are arranged in the courtyard where they are conveyed, so that their cousins can talk in one place."

Shen said: "If you need a hand, just say, don't snub the distinguished guests." My mother-in-law has already said that you have to treat guests these days, so you don't have to go over to her side to say hello for the time being. ”

Murong was moved, who said that her mother-in-law was unreasonable, and it was also very good, not to mention the fruit wine sent before, and let the big kitchen add ten dishes, all of which were made according to the taste of Jiangnan, and her brothers praised them. "Mother-in-law, I'm going to be my sister-in-law these days."

"We don't talk about that." Shen instructed Mama to go to the guest room to check and see what was still missing.

There are not many relatives and friends in the imperial city in the second room, and they also posted early, most of them are families who are good friends with the Jiang family, and there are several in-laws, and there are several generals who have served in the army. Maybe these seven or eight uncle's distinguished guests from Jiangnan were the only ones who came from abroad to eat and drink, and when they looked at their dress, although they were walking north and south, they also talked well, and they had a good impression in their hearts.

Mama turned around, and when she came back, she replied very seriously: "The bedding and beds in Qingzhu Courtyard are also complete, and the yard is equipped with two second-class girls and two rough girls to guard, and three errand boys have to be added." ”

Uncle Murong said with a smile: "There are fifteen people who came to the imperial city with us this time, and I think ten of them will be arranged to go in and live temporarily." ”

Mama hung her head and replied carefully: "In the next room, there are still seven bedding left." ”

Murong replied.

Mama continued: "Even if five more servants are placed in the fourth master's house, it is enough, but there are still five sets of beds and bedding for the master. ”

Shen said: "Take the right cards and let the steward of the big treasury pick them up and send them to the fourth master's house." ”

In less than half an hour, all the things that were missing, including ornaments, were taken out, and the room that had seemed empty was much more vivid.

Although Uncle Murong is a businessman, he appreciates the speed of the mansion very much. "I heard Chuanli say that the eldest lady is a virtuous and capable person, and that's true."

Murong lowered his head and smiled: "The old lady is even more shrewd, and the sister-in-law in the house also follows the old lady." ”

Pingxi Houfu came to the distinguished guests, and the next day he led his uncle and cousins to hang out, and it was not lively along the way.

At noon, I invited them to a meal out of my own pocket at the Luk Fook Building.

The Murong brothers finally saw the wine that was conveyed when they were drinking, and a thousand glasses were not drunk, and several cousins were dumbfounded. They finally believed that this Jiang Chuan, like their deceased father, was a massive man. Usually such a person is cheerful and a businessman.

In the next few days, Jiang Chuan led them to see their own auction building, looking at the hot business in the building, every day when the market opened, there would be excellent income, and several people were very surprised.

Jiang conveyed a bold statement that he would open the auction building to the south of the Yangtze River, but also to Jinyang and all states in the world......

Whenever Jiang Chuanyuan heard it, he dismissed it as "talking big", but in the eyes of the Murong brothers, he thought that Jiang Chuanyuan was an ambitious person.

The Murong brothers had a very good impression of Jiang Chuan, and they regretted it a little, because they were not their son, and after a closer look, they found that Jiang Chuan's temperament was like their deceased father, and even his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar, so when he saw it, he liked it more and more.

On February 22nd, this is a big day for Jiang Suting, on the morning of this day, Mrs. Jia Shilang of the Ministry of Rites went to the house accompanied by the Fu Matchmaker, exchanged the Geng posts of Jin Se and Jia Fang, and only waited for the eight characters to be engaged.

On the morning of February 23, Mrs. Tang Shilang dragged her weak sick body to Zhang's Mansion with Mrs. Fu and changed the Geng posts of Miss Tang and Changxing.

After exchanging Geng posts, once the eight characters match, they will exchange tokens and set up family affairs, and since then this pair of children has the name of fiancé.

On February 24, Liu Feifei, who had been in bed for ten days of recuperation, finally stopped staying in the house, and his spirit was recuperated.

Early in the morning, Murong led his mother's brother to give the old lady and the old lady a generous gift alone.

Uncle Murong went to the flower hall, tall and mighty, and wearing a luxurious brocade robe, he looked more and more noble, his voice was very loud, and he hugged his fists and said, "Is the old waiting master in good health?" ”rs
