Chapter 684: Lingering (4K, with enigmayanxi and Shibi +3)
When Daqi people marry daughters, they all have the saying of "dowry".
The dowry is only in the eyes of everyone, just like the rich and noble do not return to their hometowns, it is a night walk in brocade clothes, and the act of destroying heaven and earth.
Therefore, all those who can afford the dowry, for the sake of the dignity of the family and their daughters, will go to great lengths to expose all the dowries.
Chang'an people have watched the "dowry" for so many years, and they have long developed a pair of fiery eyes. Not to mention these noble families in Chongkang Fang, even the idlers in the street market outside can guess the value of this dowry from the footsteps of the dowry bearer, the expression on his face, and the material of the dowry box.
For example, the dowry, which represents the property of the house and the shop, is of course not the whole house in a dowry box, but a model of the house, the grange and the shop made of mud, and placed one after another in a large dowry box.
The more such immovable property, the heavier the dowry box becomes. The more difficult it is for the dowry bearer.
The more expensive the silk and satin clothing, as well as the fur material in winter, are thick and tight, and heavy.
Not to mention the dowry gold and silver carried behind, and the yellow and silver glittering light blinded the street.
Meng'er's eyes were more attracted by the thirty delicate jewelry heads in the middle. Most women like delicate and chic things, and the head and face of expensive and delicate jewelry are even more of a woman's favorite thing.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanran actually has so many jewelry heads, and she has seven or eight kinds of jewelry on her head every day, and she can also plug them in for two or three years without interruption, and it is estimated that she can rotate them.
These things. If...... If...... Feng Lang married Xiao Yanran, and it was all hers......
Meng'er looked at the dowry blankly, and a deep unwillingness rose in her heart.
looked down at the washed yellow clothes on his body, touched the bare bun, there was no jewelry on his head, and even the earrings were taken by her.
Meng'er covered her mouth, whimpered and cried again.
Feng Jian's face became more and more gloomy.
This dowry on the street should have been frugal!
He didn't look at the wrong person, no matter what aspect he said, Xiao Yanran should marry him!
has Xiao Yanran's dowry. There is also Xiao Yanran's eldest brother who holds an important position in the court. He can live comfortably all his life. Not only can he be added to the rank of knight, but he can also live in the clouds for the rest of his life and be the immortal he was born out of......
At this moment, Feng Jian remembered the words of his mother and second aunt. “…… You hang out with a maid every day. In the future, I will wait for my father and mother to be away from you. You will know that life is not easy. ”
Before his father and mother were away, his life was already difficult.
Feng Jian hated Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang to death, and refused to marry his sister to him. also forced the Feng family to expelle him!
If he hadn't been excluded, he wouldn't have become what he is now......
A cold wind blew, penetrating through the big cotton robe that was not warm at all on Feng Jian's body, making him shiver involuntarily and shrink to the wall.
From childhood to adulthood, Feng Jian has lived a life of being a superior person.
In fact, what he should resent the most is not the Xiao family and his wife at all, but ......
Feng Jian glanced at the face of the woman beside him, and had an indescribable disgust for her.
It's because of this greedy woman that she has fallen to such a point.
The dowry on the street was carried for two hours before it slowly disappeared.
This trip to "show the dowry" can make Chang'an people talk for a while.
"Although Miss Xiao's dowry is not as good as her sister-in-law's, she can also rank in the top five in Chang'an City."
"That's nature. Her sister-in-law is the lady of Qin Guo of our Great Qi, and her family is already wealthy. Who are you the father of Mrs. Qin? It was the old Du of the famous 'East Xiao Xidu' back then! The well-known salt merchant Du Yuanwai, the silver in his hand was originally piled up to reclaim the sea, and he couldn't use it up in ten lifetimes! ”
"Dong Xiao Sidu? ——Could it be that 'Dong Xiao' is the father of Xiao Shiji, our Zhuguo Gong? ”
"That's right! Cut, you don't know any of these things...... It's not from Chang'an, right? ”
"You're right, I just came to Chang'an from Jiangnan, and I haven't seen the big scene in Chang'an."
"Yo, it's better to meet by chance, let's hit it off at first sight, I'll be an east, please go to the restaurant to have a drink, and tell you about the allusions of Chang'an slowly......"
The voices of the people around him gradually faded away, and the people on the street gradually dispersed.
Feng Jian and Meng'er still stood on the corner of the street in a daze, watching the people who had passed in front of them one by one.
Until the afternoon, Lu Erlang, who received the kiss, rode a high-headed horse, wore a red ribbon flower on his chest, wore a shining red groom dress, and came to pick up the bride with a sedan chair with a spring breeze.
Feng Jian and Meng'er woke up like a dream, avoided it in a panic, and went to Earl Feng's mansion.
When they came to the Feng Earl's Mansion, the door of the Earl's Mansion looked at the two of them poor and sour, and refused to let them in.
Feng Jian and Meng'er will only be in the nest, and when they encounter these fierce and vicious subordinates outside, they have long been rectified and obedient, and they don't dare to talk to that doorman, they only cower and hide in the corner, waiting for someone to come out, or go in, and then they rush over to recognize their relatives.
Wait, just wait until it's almost dark, Chongkang Fang is going to close, an old man in the Earl's Mansion is worried that they won't be able to get out of the gate of Lifang late, it's the end of November, the weather is cold, and the snow has only melted for a short time, if they freeze out here, Yu Earl's Mansion is not good-looking, so he stepped forward and said: "The lord and the eldest lady went to the Zhuguo Mansion to congratulate them, you can come again tomorrow." ”
Feng Jian hurriedly said: "I am related to the lord, you let us in first, and say that it was his cousin Feng Jian who came to see him." He will come as soon as he returns. He added: "My cousin's parents died when he was young, and my father raised him, and he has always treated me like a brother. ”
As soon as the disciple heard that it was Feng Jian, he couldn't help but look at him with his eyes for a long time, "Is it really the second son of the Feng family who was expelled from the clan?" ”
Feng Jian's ears were red, and he could only murmur: "...... Precisely. ”
The kind-hearted Menzi thought about it, and still said, "Then you wait a while." I'll have someone pass it on to you. The lord and the eldest lady are not at home, only the second lady is at home, see what the second lady says. ”
When Feng Jian heard that Mu Ye was coming to home, his confidence was a little more sufficient, and he said, "Let's go to the bothersome brother's station." ”
After Menzi entered, he found a mother-in-law and asked her to take the time to go to the second lady to reply, and said, "The second son of the Feng family came here before, and asked the second lady if she could see her." ”
The mother-in-law glanced at Feng Jian and Meng'er a few times and shook her head. "I'll try." If the second lady is gone. You just let them go back. ”
The doorman answered, and went back to the gatehouse to wait.
The mother-in-law happened to be wandering around the yard with nothing to do, and wanted to go to the second lady to curry favor with her, so she hurriedly ran to Mu Yelai and replied, "Second lady." The second son of the Feng family, who was expelled two months ago, came. Said he wanted to see the lord. What do you think, second lady? ”
Mu Yelai wore a peacock blue mink Zhaojun set on his head. In the middle of the bun is a Danfeng Chaoyang hanging bead hairpin, the eyebrows are counted, and the cheeks are pink and tender. There was a small black mole on her lips, which made her look more charming.
He was wearing a peacock blue fever coat of the same color, with a wide blue-gold waist around his waist, which became more and more high-chested and thin-waisted.
She sat on the hot kang, holding the stove in her hand, bowing her head and holding a bamboo stick, brushing the ashes in the stove, thinking for a long time, and then said slowly: "...... What happened to them? ”
The woman understood and hurriedly said, "Yo, my second lady, don't look at them." The two of them have long been out of human shape, one is as thin as a bamboo pole, and the other is as fat as a pig! Tsk, just like the maid in Meng'er, the second son of Feng left home for her and abandoned her ancestors, it's really ...... I can only say one thing, there is something in the eyes of the lover. ”
Mu Yelai listened in a daze, and said for a long time: "I can't complain about him either." You don't understand. After a pause, "Call them in." To be honest, she was also a little curious.
I haven't seen Feng Jian and Meng'er for more than two months, although sometimes I still hear a few words from Feng Pei Dun's mouth, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's still different.
The woman was stunned. I didn't expect the second lady to be willing to meet those two......
"The second lady is really a bodhisattva. According to the old slave, these two people are not good things at all, and it is okay if they are gone. That dream is incorruptible and shameless, at a young age, he knows that he seduces the masters, and he should really be killed. The second son of Feng abandoned his family and ancestors for the sake of a woman, such unfilial descendants are not worthy of the surname Feng at all! Also, the second son of Feng once tried to pour dirty water on the second lady's head, and he had to pull our Earl's Mansion into the water! Such a person, do you still want to meet? The woman looked at her eyes and kept looking at Mu Yelai's expression.
Mu Yelai was suffocated, knowing that he was reckless again, just because he was curious, he wanted to get involved with people like Feng Jian again, and if there was anything in the future, he really couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, so forget it, so he nodded and said: "You are reasonable, my proposal is inappropriate, then forget it." - Go to the account office and receive twenty taels of silver, and send them to them, and say, "It's time for the New Year, let them spend the money on it." ”
Fortunately, she saw the opportunity quickly at that time, and made a foundation in front of Feng Pei Dun in advance and took herself out, otherwise, even if she had a son, she might have stumbled......
But the most important thing is that Mu Yelai is unwilling to make this basket in front of Xiao Shiji......
She has always been very careful to maintain her own image in front of Xiao Shiji, and has always regarded herself as a victim. Everything is caused by others, she is just a small pond fish, and in the case of a fire at the city gate, she was unfortunately affected.
As long as she doesn't do anything wrong, Xiao Shiji will open up to her.
So she must be extremely careful, she can't be so reckless and get involved with people like Feng Jian.
When the mother-in-law saw that she had persuaded the second lady, she was even more happy, and when she heard that there was money to take, she trembled with joy, and hurriedly went to receive the silver.
She took out twenty taels of silver from the account room, and the woman took half of it and put it in her sleeve pocket, and came to the gatehouse with the remaining ten taels of silver, and said to the doorman: "The second lady said that she is not good, and it is sad to see each other, it is better not to see it." I used to be relatives, and I saw that they were pitiful, and gave them ten taels of silver to celebrate the New Year. As he spoke, he took out the ten taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Menzi.
Menzi checked it, and when he turned around and took it out, he had already secretly put the ten taels of silver into his pocket, and from the filial piety silver he had just received today, he took out a small silver ingot of five taels and one ingot, and said to Feng Jian and Meng'er, who were dumbfounded: "The second lady said that she is not good today, and she is sad for each other when she sees it, so it is better not to see it." She is a philanthropic person, and she gave you five taels of silver to let you have a good year. As he spoke, he handed the little silver ingot.
Feng Jian hurriedly took it, clenched it tightly in his hand, and said nervously: "Then can't we go in and stay overnight?" It's getting dark today, it's freezing outside, and if we freeze to death in front of your house......"
The man said angrily: "It's only dusk, it's still early, you go quickly, it's still too late." If you deliberately wait here, don't blame me for being polite! As he spoke, he raised his fist to scare Feng Jian.
Feng Jian hurriedly ran to the side with his head in his hands.
Meng'er couldn't run with a big belly, and was so frightened that she leaned against the wall, covering her face and refusing to look again.
Several people were in a stalemate, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
The door looked at it, and it was actually Feng Pei Dun and his wife's cart coming, and he hurriedly pushed the corner door open, and ran out to greet him: "Sir, eldest lady, are you coming back?" ”
Feng Pei Dun got out of the car first, and then helped Shao Shi get out of the car, and said, "It's already dusk, and now it's the time for the man's family to entertain guests, so we'll come back first." The eldest lady is worried about the eldest brother's body, and she can't stay outside for a long time. As he spoke, he took out a little boy with pink makeup from the car, although he was more than six years old, but he didn't look as strong as a four-year-old child.
"Brother Yang, who saw them in the Zhuguo Mansion today, is only two years old, and that Huan is really fat, it is really festive to watch. He didn't recognize life, grabbed people's legs and climbed up, and everyone liked him. Feng Pei Dun hugged his eldest son, remembering the second son of Xiao Shihe and Du Hengshuang who he saw in the Zhuguo Mansion today, and was very emotional, "Fortunately, the second brother of our family is still a good one." "The second brother is Mu Yelai's son, who is less than a year old.
Shao Shi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Several children of the Xiao family are all good, and I like them all." As he spoke, he entered the corner gate with Feng Pei Dun, and he didn't see the two old-dressed people standing in the corner at all.
Feng Jian clutched the silver tightly in his hand, full of disappointment. He thought that this lobby brother would not turn a blind eye to him, but after so long, he didn't save him from that dirty and lowly Chang'an South City.
Meng'er stared at Feng Pei Dun's tall back, looking at the brown and yellow mink fur on his body, and his eyes became deeper and deeper......
