Chapter 57: Two Women
The three ladies in the room, as well as the palace maids waiting at the door, all laughed.
The water was quickly brought over, and the twins waited for Zhao Dezhao to wash his face, and his every move was just right, obviously strictly trained.
Today is not the time, Zhao Dezhao didn't even ask their surnames, and hurried to the front yard to prepare a wedding banquet toast.
Today is the banquet of Wenchen, Zhao Dezhao is the prince, almost all Wenchen, Beijing officials, including officials who happen to be in the capital, even if they can't enter the gate of the East Palace, they will send a congratulatory gift.
And those who can enter the East Palace as guests, there are thousands of people casually, the men are in the front yard, and the women are in the middle courtyard, and the East Palace is full of seats.
Fortunately, in this era, the groom does not have to drink, and if he also drinks with him, Zhao Dezhao can't help it no matter how much he drinks.
Zhao Kuangyin began to toast, and then the officials toasted one by one.
When the time came, the toast that had lasted for more than an hour was finally over.
And Zhao Dezhao doesn't have to send off guests, Zhao Tingmei will send guests on his behalf today.
"Tong Diantou, arrange a table to go to the new room, I want to go back to accompany my wife to dinner."
"Second brother, this is not etiquette."
"It's good to arrange it, the rules, it's not made by people."
"Whoa."
With Zhao Dezhao's instructions, Wang Sanjie did not wait for Zhao Dezhao to come back and remove the hijab before washing her face, but first washed it refreshingly, then covered her head, and waited for Zhao Dezhao to come back.
When Zhao Dezhao came back, the eldest princess of Yan and her group of old ladies had not left yet, and they had to wait for Zhao Dezhao to come back, and they had to hold a bed-making ceremony.
In fact, it is similar to the rural custom of later generations, that is, red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds are mixed together.
After being dressed in a dustpan, they sang and danced along the new house, shouting auspicious words and scattering them on the bed.
The bed in the new house is very large, divided into two and a half rooms inside and outside, three floors up and down, not to mention sleeping in it, even eating in it, it is enough.
This kind of pull-out bed itself is about the size of a house.
After all the work was done, Zhao Dezhao also began to issue silver ingots to the group of women led by his aunt, all of which were small ingots of five taels, two for each person, and only four for his aunt.
A group of women left with auspicious words satisfied, in fact, it means that although there is little silver now, they don't care about the twenty taels of silver.
After they were all gone, the room finally fell silent, and then Zhao Dezhao heard a few breaths that did not belong to them.
He was amazed, in this era, there is no custom of haunting the cave house, right?
The twins handed over a weighing rod. "Sir, it's time to lift the hijab."
"There's no hurry." Zhao Dezhao entered the stepping bed from the side of the third sister Wang, and in the storage room on the second floor, he opened the suitcase, and there were the fourth and sixth sisters in it, and the sixth sister was already asleep, because she was crowded in the coat box, sleeping uncomfortably, and there was a slight snoring sound.
The fourth sister was particularly embarrassed. "Second brother, how do you know that we are hiding here?"
Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "In order to make trouble in the cave room, you have been holding it in for a long time, and it is enough." What about the fifth sister and the fourth brother? ”
Her eyes rolled, and she stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Second brother, congratulations on marrying a new sister-in-law, bring the seal." ”
This woke up the sixth sister in a daze, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she also stretched out her hand. "Second brother, I want to seal the son too."
The third sister Wang who was covering her head whispered, and the twins, who were surprised by the sudden addition of two people in the room, quickly moved and opened one of the outermost boxes in the row.
These are all silver ingots and copper coins, which will be used for rewarding in the future.
When Third Sister Wang came, she wanted to be the hostess, so she naturally wanted to win people's hearts. She has been educated in this area, and she doesn't need Zhao Dezhao to teach her at all.
On the contrary, it is the Chen family, whose grandmother does not love his uncle and does not love, who lives dependent on his brother and sister-in-law, and I am afraid that there will be something missing in this aspect.
When the twins handed each of them two silver ingots, the fourth sister and the sixth sister were snatched by Zhao Dezhao before they received it.
The sixth sister pouted, but saw Zhao Dezhao knock on the bed board with silver, and covered her mouth in surprise.
"Come out and tell me who told you to come."
The first floor of the stepping bed is where the waiting people work, the upper floor is the storage room, and the innermost is the sleeping place.
In the middle of the second and third floors, there were several drawers and mezzanines, Zhao Dezhao knocked on the bed board, opened the compartment, and found the fifth sister and the fourth brother hiding inside.
The two little guys were not afraid, and when they came out, they greeted Wang Sanjie with a hippie smile. "Hello sister-in-law."
Zhao Dezhao shook his head and said to the twins: "Give me the scale rod ......"
I don't know if it's my sister or my sister, so I hurriedly handed over the scale rod, and then Zhao Dezhao picked up the Xia curtain.
Third Sister Wang was no longer shy at this time, she looked at her four younger brothers and sisters in surprise, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Zhao Dezhao returned the silver ingots to her, and said with a smile: "This is the fourth sister, the fifth sister, the sixth sister, the fourth brother, we will be a family in the future." ”
"Family......" Third Sister Wang straightened up a little shyly, and then turned to face them and made a lady's salute. I've seen a few older brothers and sisters......"
The fourth sister also hurriedly walked out of bed, went down to the ground, and saluted Third Sister Wang. "I've seen my sister-in-law."
After seeing the ceremony, Wang Sanjie personally took out the silver ingots from the cash box, sent two to each person, and also said two kind words.
was treated cautiously by the third sister Wang, the fourth sister was fine, and the other little guys were treated as adults for the first time, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Tong Liang said outside at this time: "Second brother, the wine and food are ready." ”
Zhao Dezhao nodded and said, "Today is our big day, and we don't need to share meals, the family sits together for a meal." ”
Seeing Zhao Dezhao nodding slightly, Third Sister Wang stopped talking and nodded lightly. "The concubine listens to the official."
Wang Sanjie ate a few bites hastily, and then stopped eating, but Zhao Dezhao was full. It's been a busy day, I've been tired all day, and I've long been exhausted.
If you don't add a little physical strength, I'm afraid that the cave room will have no energy at night.
The fourth sister also ate a few bites and stopped eating, Zhao Dezhao was still eating, and a few of them slipped away.
Out of the door, a few people smiled narrowly: "Don't disturb the second brother and sister-in-law's cave room, tomorrow morning, we will come again to congratulate the newlywed." ”
Wang Sanjie couldn't lift her head, her cheeks were flushed, and even the back of her ears were red.
Any girl, when facing this juncture in her life, is afraid that she will be nervous.
This night, Zhao Dezhao naturally enjoyed all the gentleness, and the third sister Wang was docile and gentle, trying her best to flatter, so that Zhao Dezhao was extremely satisfied.
In order for her to experience the ultimate feeling, even the twins had to wait by the side, and they were sent out.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Kuangyin took a break from the dynasty and came early in the morning to accept the bow of his son and daughter-in-law.
The eldest princess of Yan Kingdom also came early in the morning, and her task was to check the red of the candle night in the cave room.
A white cloth stained with blood and body fluids was handed around by a group of women, and even Zhao Dezhao blushed a little.
lingered for two days, and on the third day, I sent Wang Sanjie back to the door, and this set of procedures went through again.
Zhao Dezhao accompanied Wang Pu and them at Wang's house for a day, and was dragged by Wang Zuo to drink wine for most of the day, and it was dark, so he returned to the East Palace.
And the East Palace is still brightly lit, and the lights are colorful, because there is a wedding tomorrow.
On October 22, like the previous days, Zhao Dezhao was dressed like a monster and rode out of the East Palace on a white horse.
But this time, there is a group of noble children who are accompanying him, and today's guests are also military generals.
Like a few days ago, Zhao Dezhao married Chen and settled in another courtyard.
Although Chen Sirang is already like a monk, his six relatives do not recognize him, but this wedding did not drop the chain.
After all, this is the last daughter, and when he marries, his father's responsibilities have been fulfilled.
Chen is different from Wang, although she is the daughter of a military general, she grew up dependent on her brother and sister-in-law, and she is a little less atmospheric than Wang.
Such a Lin Daiyu-style wife is also very outstanding, but her personality is a little softer and a little introverted.
On the night of candles in her cave room, Zhao Dezhao had a sense of guilt for destroying the flowers of the motherland, although she was only one year younger, but Zhao Dezhao was not very old!
With a little gravity, I'm afraid she'll fall apart.
However, she took her responsibilities very seriously, which made Zhao Dezhao feel pity.
One night, on October 23, after the Chen family met the people of the East Palace, and after the reward, the East Palace held its first family meeting.
Only Zhao Dezhao, Wang, Chen, and Liu Xiao and Tong Liang attended the meeting.
There were many topics discussed in this meeting, but there was only one main idea, that is, the division of labor and management in the backyard, each performing its own duties.
This is not difficult for Zhao Dezhao, in the Ming Dynasty, dozens of wives were well managed, and now there are only two, if it is not managed well, it will be too much of a failure.
Let them not fight in the palace and live in harmony, the most important point is to have clear powers.
Wang is cheerful and generous, and will be responsible for foreign affairs and money in the future. Whether it is visiting relatives and friends, or receiving female dependents, she is the leader.
Chen is a flat wife, half a level lower than Wang, and has a soft personality, and will be responsible for the housekeeping of Wang's small courtyard in the future.
Like the garden tidying up, the personnel adjustment of the palace maid, she has the final say.
The chamberlain didn't let her take care of it, and she couldn't manage it, because the chamberlain was mainly responsible for external affairs.
In fact, the main thing is that the Wang family is in power, but part of the power of the Wang family is allocated to the Chen family.
The Wang family was originally a little wary of the Chen family, but seeing that she was cowardly, and thinking of her bumpy fate, he was a little more tolerant of her.
As for Pei Ge'an, Zhao Dezhao didn't tell them in detail, only said that Pei Ge'an's small courtyard didn't let them take care of it, and the expenses of that small courtyard, except for the palace maids, didn't let them worry about it.
In the future, Pei Ge'an will mainly be responsible for leading industrial development outside, and will not stay in the backyard for a long time, and when he arrives in Xiangyang, I am afraid that it is common not to go home for ten days and a half months.
It is equivalent to the institute, that small courtyard is a forbidden area, which makes the two women a little puzzled, but seeing the expressions of Liu Xiao and Tong Liang, the two main management offices, of course, they also approved this arrangement.
Pei Ge'an is different from them, as long as they don't provoke her, she won't bother with them.
As for if they are not interested, Zhao Dezhao believes that they are not Pei Ge'an's opponents.
On October 25, after accompanying Chen back to the door, Zhao Dezhao could finally focus his energy on the formation of the new army.
