Chapter 290: Decided

Even if the Zhang family and the Du family are deeply related to each other, and the Gu family personally mentioned the marriage, they did not rely on matchmaking, but since it was an ancient rite with the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents, they still needed a relative and friend to act as a big matchmaker. Originally, the British Duke was the most suitable candidate, but he is now far away in Xuanfu, Mrs. Wang is now pregnant and unable to come forward, and the Baoding Hou family is in mourning. So, Mrs. Wang thought about it again and again, so she sent Xiyu to Zhang's mansion and discussed with the Gu family for a long time in the upper room of the north courtyard. As soon as she walked on her front foot, Gu immediately ordered someone to prepare a car to go out, and she didn't come back until evening, but she was relieved with a smile on her face.

Because Zhang Qi got married early, the small and big ones were already held, that is, the Najib ceremony and the Nazheng ceremony had already been held, so now the Zhang family is busy preparing only Zhang Yue's ceremony. Seeing that the Sun family had arrived in Beijing, the Dongfang family was happy to stand by and be busy, so the small and big decisions were all busy by the Sun family. The night before Xiaoding, she quietly asked someone to inquire about the things prepared by the third room.

"Although Xiao Ding is just going through the motions, the accumulation of the third room over the years is limited, and the third master has been out of office for less than a year, and he is a mere six-grade civil official, so he can't cover the eldest young master and the second young master."

Hearing what the Yang clan on the other side of the kang said, the Dongfang clan nodded reservedly. Because the other party is Zhang Chao's nurse and a reliable person she brought from her mother's family, she doesn't have much scruples, and she can't get rid of complaining about Gu's partiality, and at the end she sneered: "The old lady beats me frequently for no reason, and I really don't know what's going on?" It's just that seeing that the long room is now defeated, the old man is straight up, and he wants to support the third room to rely on the long room! She didn't look at it, how high the grade of the father and son in the third room was, and they could be compared with the master? Even Chao'er has now made a steady five-grade fish, but it is not better than others! ”

Yang sat on the kang with a slanted body and said with a smile: "Although the long house is not as good as in the past, after all, the British princess must respectfully call the old lady an aunt, and the wife does not care about it for a while, and you must know that the future is long." Even if the old lady is eccentric, the three-room family background is limited after all, so she can't ignore the fourth young master, the eldest grandson of the serious family, and go to make up for the third young master? Now that the old man is strong, we might as well be generous, and the wife should help the three rooms, don't let the old lady grasp the mistake. ”

Dongfang Clan's mood calmed down a little when he heard this, and at this moment, the door curtain moved, but it was the girl Yulong who had just been sent out turned around. Since Linglong didn't marry according to her thoughts, she simply changed the name of another big girl next to her to Yulong in a fit of anger, and handed over the things that Linglong was in charge of in the past to her. ”

"Back to Mrs., I heard that Xiaoding over there prepared a pair of official kiln entwined ruyi bottles, and the old lady added an additional pair of silver powder makeup boxes of thirty-two taels each, a box of ivory combs, and a pair of gold thread embroidered purses."

Hearing this, Dongfang's face suddenly sank. When Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi made a small decision, although the Gu family also added something, the value was far less than this rich, and the old lady's eccentricity was too obvious!

Zhang Yue naturally didn't know that someone was staring at the progress of his marriage like this, but this year is not as good as the next generation, although he got married, but since he beat his mother back, no matter what he did, he couldn't interfere at all, and there was something that the Sun family would even pull Lingxi Autumn Mark Amber to help, but he sent his son far away, and didn't let him care about anything. The only thing he can do is the decoration pattern of the new house, but most of the time he goes to the upper room to be ordered by Gu's ear, and as for the official dispatch of the court, there is not even a shadow, it is more like a marriage leave than a marriage leave.

That is, on the day of Xiaoding, he only knew that it was Mrs. Wu'anhou next door who went to Du's house to put Xiaoding, and the so-called matchmaker at the wedding in the future, Gu's actually invited Anyuan Hou Liusheng. At this time, seeing that the smiling Mrs. Wu'anhou got into the sedan chair, and more than a dozen Zhang family members followed with things, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Zhang Qi happened to be at home on this day, and he was also watching the excitement at the gate, and when he saw Zhang Yue in a daze, he slapped him on the shoulder with a smile: "Third brother, the next thing is to magnify Ding, and then it will be really lively." I happened to be in Shandong that time you didn't see it, tsk, it took a full half an hour to carry the big gift out of the door, and the people who carried the things were sixty-four people, and even the alley at the door was blocked, and all the people who watched the excitement were gathered around the alley. ”

Thinking of his mother Sun's coming back from Nanjing this time, she was very busy, and she sent people around her out to buy all day long, how could Zhang Yue not know that this was preparing a big V ceremony with silver outside? At this time, hearing Zhang Qi say this with a smile, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glare at him, and then said angrily: "At the beginning, the second aunt didn't know how long she had been preparing for the thirty-two ceremony, but the second brother, you actually passed with a real lively." The second sister-in-law will enter the door next month, and I will see that you are still watching the excitement all day long! ”

Zhang Qi really didn't think about how hard his mother was at the beginning, tilted his head and thought about it, but when he heard about the marriage, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Last time, the brothers of the Meng family also reminded me, saying that the one has a bad temperament." If she respects her mother and sister-in-law after entering the door, it will be fine, if she puts on a shelf, I won't let her! ”

Glancing at the real green plain gauze robe made by Zhang Yuexin, he couldn't help but say with envy on his face: "All in all, my eldest brother and I are not as lucky as your third brother, not only can you find your favorite sweetheart, but also marry you justifiably." ”

Zhang Qi's marriage was personally watched by the Dongfang clan, in order to ensure that Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, is now a saint, and he is also a good match. The marriage events of this year were originally for the purpose of reproduction, but whether they liked it or not was always secondary. Therefore, hearing Zhang Qi's words, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh for the other party in his heart.

The brothers walked side by side all the way, and when they arrived at the hanging flower gate of the second gate, the two daughters-in-law who had been waiting there for a long time stopped Zhang Qi, saying that they were following the instructions of the second wife and asked him to go back and try on the newly cut clothes. Despite being extremely reluctant to be called as a hanger, Zhang Qi still waved his hand at Zhang Yue weakly, and went helplessly.

And Zhang Yue returned to the west courtyard of his house, and only when he stepped into the upper room, he saw his mother Sun pacing back and forth on the ground, chattering in his mouth: "There are two gold satin, two makeup satin, two Yunluo, two weaving gold Luo, two green silk and cloud silk, two Lu silk, and two cloud silk, this clothing should be almost the same...... No, you have to add a velvet and makeup velvet ......"

Sun said the same, the amber on the kang was written down on the paper with a pen, and the other Lingxi and Qiu Zhen were opening three boxes to check the jewelry beads, revealing infinite jewels. Zhang Yue saw that none of the four of them saw him, and he couldn't help coughing angrily, and then saw them turn their heads and raise their heads.

"What are you doing here to make trouble, if I miss something, it won't be your shame when the time comes!" Sun's mouth was angry, but the person stepped forward to tidy up his son's clothes, and then said, "If this great ceremony is not complete, it will not make people laugh, so I naturally have to look at it carefully." For this reason, your father hurriedly transferred silver and things, but some gold and silver utensils still have to be found in gold and silver shops to make cash products, and I can't take care of you these days. ”

His own family knows his own affairs, of course Zhang Yue will not think that the three-room family is thin like others, but he also knows that his father has not been able to accumulate over the years, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, although marriage should not be sloppy, we don't need to compare with others, just do our best." It's like these satin fabrics, it doesn't seem like you need to prepare so many ......."

"How much is that?" Sun sneered and folded his fingers and calculated, "If it is according to the real mansion door, satin, silk, Luo, yarn, silk, modified machine, velvet, silk, silk cloth, brocade, ten kinds of clothing are indispensable, and now I have only a few ready?" Don't worry, I won't fight with others to get rich, the most valuable things are taken out by the old lady, and the gold satin you got from the palace is everywhere, which saves the boss the expense. You might as well save money and silver, otherwise the Du family's makeup will not be easy to prepare. ”

Hearing that his mother even took into account the situation of the Du family, Zhang Yue naturally put down his thoughts, and immediately smiled: "Mother is really thoughtful, after all, the eldest brother and the second brother are all married to wealthy families, so we don't need to think about the woman's makeup, but our family has to be cautious and meticulous." ”

The Sun family himself was also from a small family, and he didn't want his son to marry a delicate daughter as a daughter-in-law, so he naturally nodded again and again at this time, and then opened his mouth to drive people away: "Okay, okay, I don't have time to talk to you now, I will send the pearl peony to the warehouse, and you will lend me the three of them." If you're idle, you might as well talk to the old lady, or go to see my brother's homework, but don't get in the way here, lest I forget anything again." ”

Knocked out of the main house by his mother's three strikes and five divisions, Zhang Yue stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh deeply again.

On the day of the big gift, as Zhang Chao said, although the entire alley is full of Zhang's family, there are many people watching the excitement at the entrance of the alley and on the road along the street, most of them are talking about the mahogany box and other things.

In the 32 lifting ceremony, the first is four goose cages, containing two pairs of live geese, followed by four lifting wine for each two jars, the wine jar is decorated with red lacquer oil painted with blue dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns, and then there are two live carps. Then there is the satin ruler clothing, gold and silver jewelry, acacia bedding, etc., although it is packed in four layers of red lacquer and gold-edged boxes, others can not see, but people have to guess each other, all of them are envious, sighing at the wealth and luxury of this big family.

Although almost all of the Zhang family were sent to the gate on this day, Dongfang pretended to be sick and hid in the house. Yang comforted her on the side, but she was still so angry that she couldn't hold back a sentence for a long time.

"It's just a few more gifts, but if you look at it, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold sideburns, two pairs of gold hairpins, and eight gold coins...... The old lady is really a bowl of water, which is equal to the amount of this thing that was given to Chao'er at the beginning, but what is the weight of these gold objects, everyone knows it in their hearts! ”
