In mid-May, the old lady Zhou called friends to convene a literary meeting in Huocheng, which not only saved an unnecessary prison sentence, but also solved some problems that were plaguing the Zhou family because of a blessing in disguise.

The relatives and friends who can come and dare to come are all trusted by Mrs. Zhou. And a few families who had previously discussed the marriage of their children with the Zhou family but had not yet decided on it, naturally brought the teenagers they had been mentioned to their side or looked at the Zhou family's grandchildren more carefully.

It was only at the beginning of June, first Zhou Chen and the granddaughter of the Yang family made a small decision, and within a few days, Manqing's marriage also had an eyebrow.

If according to such a festive result, Zhou Xian's scattered ink treasure can be regarded as a lot of benefits.

Otherwise, in Man Yun's eyes, the majestic appearance of those grandfathers and grandfathers who have danced and written all their lives is just a break in the prosperity and decline of the Jiangnan literary world in the last years of the Chen Dynasty. The afterglow of the setting sun was still able to bluff the butcher's knife at this time, waiting for Youyan to cast into Han, and Northern Chu to rebel...... The jackals who want to bite meat and occupy a territory in the south of the Yangtze River don't care about any courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame The world's evaluation, they directly tore the fig leaf wrapped around their bodies and ignored their eating appearance.

The worries about the future of the Zhou family, except for Zhou Manyun, who loves to stir up, are all carried by Mrs. Zhou with a group of children and grandchildren. The women in the house in Xinan Xiaozhou's mansion were all happily preparing all kinds of things for Manqing's marriage, because Manqing was already old, and the Xiban Lu family that had just been set was also in a hurry to urge the marriage, and the hurried wedding date was scheduled for September. Fortunately, the Zhou family has long been preparing for a rainy day, so they can proceed steadily and busily.

In the hot weather of July and August, it was the Min family who worried the most about Manqing's marriage. She wanted to marry Manqing so that she could marry her daughter in November, and she did not shy away from it. The Zhou family knows it.

Gao took Man Qing to inspect the big dowry to be packed and shipped to Xiban, and returned to Yunhua Juli without waiting to sit down. seriously confessed to another concubine who was about to be married.

"Sister Qing, drive Ming'er to marry into the Lu family. Remember to remember your fourth aunt! I don't know how much effort it takes to choose the wood for those dowries, if it weren't for the time when the fourth aunt was preparing for Sister Yan'er's marriage, she would have gathered you together, and there would be a coincidence ......", Man Qing, who was dragged by Gao's hand, nodded shyly. Eighteen-year-old girl is blooming the most beautiful years of her life, even if the face is not powdered, it is still transparent and flawless, and the whole body is beautiful and graceful like the white jade on the haode, which is pitiful. I can't bear to bump into half a minute.

Man Yun, who happened to be at the door, looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and quietly hooked the corners of his mouth. Mrs. Zhou obviously regarded the Yunhuaju where the Gao family lived as a gilded shop for the second-room maid, and the same as the married Manmiao, the married Manqing was sent to live with his mother for a few months, and the Gao family completed the compulsory courses before the famous Shuyuan went out. Although Gao has left home, his soft heart will not refuse to add benefits to every girl who leaves home.

Man Yun disagrees, but understands. For kind people, they feel that they are accumulating blessings when they suffer losses in the eyes of others. It is not to be blamed and ridiculed.

It's just that what Gao taught is only the most basic and orthodox rules and principles for being a wife and a wife.

Man Yun, who had been taught by the Gao family, proposed to Grandpa that the sisters learn something else, but Zhou Xian glared back.

Not to mention choosing a parent for each child, Zhou Xian's carefully selected ones are all good families. In other words, the old man does not want his children and grandchildren to live a harmonious and happy life, and will only teach the good and does not want to teach the bad, which is normal, and before getting married, he mentions, "If you are bullied by your mother-in-law." How about being abused by your husband". It's purely to find bad luck.

It's a big deal, in the future, the sister will be wronged in her husband's family. I led someone to beat him. Zhou Manyun, who thought that she could pretend to be a fierce sister-in-law, could only think like this.

A few pieces of paper with a faint fragrance of flowers were placed on the table in Manqing's hand, and Zhou Manyun smiled crookedly: "Third sister! I personally took these health-preserving medicinal diet prescriptions to the doctor outside, and they were all extremely haode. I gave it to my sister first when I added makeup, so that you can learn to make soup now. ”

"Thank you Sixth Sister!" , Man Qing got up lightly and saluted Man Yun, his eyes showing genuine gratitude.

The Xiban Road family was chosen by Grandpa, but it was also chosen by Manqing. In the past two years, Man Qingyi was rushed by Zhou Bai's divergent madness, but there was no result, and he dragged his age older. And this year, the relatives went to Zuihou, leaving two families, one is the wife who died and the other is the Nishisaka Road family. The second son of the Lu family was the same year as Manqing, but the marriage was delayed due to poor health.

According to most people's opinions, in addition to being the original match, the front family is much better from family background to men's spirit. But for Manqing, who was already a concubine's daughter, she stubbornly wanted to ask for an original wife. Zhou Xian was hesitant, but at the time of the meeting, the uncle of the Lu family who attended the meeting brought his nephew in person, and called the doctor to examine the body with the Zhou family, with great sincerity. In this hand, the Lu family still learned from the Zhou family's style of dealing with Zhou Ke's marriage.

Man Yun was mixed with the doctor and pretended to be a medicine boy at that time, knowing the cause and effect, and also made a guarantee with Grandpa. The marriage of the two families on Lu Zhou only began to be discussed.

"The son of the Lu family is just congenitally weak, and he has some hidden diseases in his lungs. My sister went, stared at herself and didn't let him touch the cold, pay attention to the cold and keep warm, and then the winter illness and summer cure the land will be good for a few years......"

One by one, Man Yun broke open the medicine list, crumpled it, and explained it clearly to Man Qing. Man Qing didn't squeak, just listened intently, and occasionally tapped his head to show that he understood.

After Man Yun finished speaking, Man Qing was still frowning and looking at the prescription in his hand, and only a snow-white powder neck was exposed on the side of his lower head, like jade.

Zhou Manyun couldn't help but lose his mind a little, with a thick confusion in his eyes, and sighed softly: "The son of the Lu family is blessed to marry the third sister. Lu Zhou's marriage was mentioned by the elders, and even if the son of the Lu family came to Huocheng, Manqing also kept the etiquette and didn't do anything to look at each other, but since she recognized the Lu family, she began to actively prepare for being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and she was extremely serious.

"I'm blessed!" , Man Qing raised his head when he heard this, and responded with a chuckle.

When Zhou Manqing's gaze fell back on the paper, he whispered as if unintentionally: "Sixth sister, I looked for Brother Xiao Yu that day." He only asked me, if he wandered the rivers and lakes, would I be willing to follow? After thinking about it, I still want to seek a stable ...... In this life, people have to go down the path they choose, no matter how good or bad it is. ”

Zhou Manyun was stunned when he heard this, his face was stunned. I wanted to ask again, but I was stopped by a loud baby cry, and I got up and said goodbye.

"Third sister! I'll go first! Tomorrow, the third sister of the fifth uncle of the Zhou Mansion in Beida will go out, and I still have to get married! She also married to Nishisaka! ”

"Will the marriage be used in the girl's house? Don't you have to change your clothes again to see the excitement? Manqing couldn't help but cover his lips with a handkerchief and smiled secretly, before moving Lianbu to send Man Yun, who was holding back his irritability, to the door of Yunhua Residence.

There is always one thing in the world, and Zhou Manyun, who walks sideways among the sisters of the Zhou family, is most afraid of the youngest Zhou Manjie crying. As long as the kid tosses some movement, Man Yun will definitely not be able to sit down in Yunhuaju, which is well known in the Zhou family.

"But, it's also a pitiful one!" , sent Manyun, Zhou Manqing's eyes glanced at the West Wing, where there was a burst of crying, and sighed secretly.

Zhou Manjie is now officially fostered under Gao's name, and her biological mother Yinxia was exempted from beating after Gao's intercession, and only directly called Renyazi to take it away. Because of the Zhou family's explanation, he was not sent to the Qinglou of the prostitution hall, but sold to a merchant as a concubine, all the way to the south, and may not reappear in this life.

Xiban is a neighboring county, married the second grandson of the Lu family as a wife, and the future husband is almost in good health and needs to avoid taboo women, so he has already promised to have a childless concubine like Zhou Ke, which is enough...... Alone in the courtyard on a summer afternoon, Zhou Manqing's figure was as tall as a new green bamboo.

On the second day of the first month of August, the Great Zhou Mansion in Xibei was full of lights, and at the beginning of the day, a team of chariots and horses dressed in red set off in front of the big stone monument of "and tie the boat", and went all the way out of the north gate of Huocheng.

According to the custom of the state capital, the canon of the worship hall is mostly taken at the end of the month and the beginning of the new couple, and the meaning of dusk and yang comes and goes.

And Xiban and Huocheng are separated by a Huo Mountain, and you only need to climb over a mountain beam on weekdays to get there, but that mountain beam just steps on the boundary of Liupan Rock. Since the beginning of the year, the gang of bandits who made trouble in Zizhu Temple have occupied a ruined temple on the mountain, and they will always go down the mountain from time to time to rob the passing merchants and collect the money and silver.

From Huocheng to Hehe Prefecture or Qingyuan and other places to take the land route also have to pass through this pass, with a large amount of property of the merchant will turn around and take the waterway against the current when they hear that there are bandits, but those who are in a hurry to go north have to pinch their noses to break through Liupanyan.

Fortunately, the bandits are still kind, except for some foreign businessmen who were killed but no one knew about them, in the past six months, as long as they paid enough money to buy roads, they could have escaped death.

"Has the money for the kings of the mountain been delivered?" As soon as the chariot and horse sent by the Great Zhou Mansion stepped on the mountain road of Liupanyan, a little maid about twelve or thirteen years old sitting on the wedding car lifted the curtain and asked in a loud voice. The hair is wrapped in a big red ribbon, and the white and tender melon seed face is adorned with a pair of big eyes like stars, and the look is shining.

"It was delivered half a month earlier!" , a sturdy man who turned back from his horse responded loudly, and emphasized word by word: "I also said that I married a daughter from the Zhou Mansion in Xibei." ”。 The convoy set off according to the set date, even if the road money was not sent in advance, it was well known in Huocheng.

"That's good! Smoothly rushed to Nishisaka, and it was too late to change the sedan chair! The pretty little girl let out a long sigh and sat back in the car. But the car didn't continue to turn for long, and a white and tender little hand reached out and lifted the corner of the window, as if she felt that the space in the car made her feel uncomfortable.

"Zhou Manyun! Are you scared? The bride, who had been sitting in the car, finally couldn't help but ask, her eyes full of banter.

"Who told you to take the Heppa off!" , Zhou Manyun turned around angrily and glared.

The bride was wrapped in a red dress, with six hairpins pressing the temples, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, beautiful and moving. It's just the same as the dragon and phoenix Xipa who was rubbed on his side, the whole person leaned on the wall of the car tiredly, without any manners at all. (To be continued......)
