Chapter 212: Slapping a Swollen Face and Becoming Fat (Merry Christmas)
The marriage between Lin Sen and Cheng Huaiyu can be said to have always been the focus of gossip on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, because one side is a heroine who also has a great reputation in Chang'an City, and the noble daughter of the national family nicknamed "Jingjie Tiger", while the other party is a little-known mountain boy.
When the decree of marriage came down, there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, after all, this is an era of lack of entertainment, except for spreading and creating gossip, the residents of Chang'an City do not have much other fun to speak of.
Of course, there are many blessings for this marriage, because in the eyes of ordinary citizens, this marriage is a bit of a cross-class meaning, and many people regard it as a successful counterattack by the civilian class.
Lin Sen naturally also means a civilian hero, so for Lin Sen's appointment this time, he is both looking forward to and a little worried, and everyone hopes that he will not be too embarrassed in the matter of hiring, which seems to represent the face of all civilians.
Of course, jealous people are also indispensable, and they all feel that Lin Sen is purely a shit luck and has climbed to a high branch, so that he can marry a noble girl as a wife, and it is not just around the corner to soar in the future.
In addition, there is some schadenfreude, after all, Cheng Huaiyu is also famous, such a peerless tigress who pulls out the mountains and conquers the world to get home, this Lin Sen has no tough backstage, or has any outstanding ability, and he must not be bullied to death by his wife in the future, he can't stand this if he is a pure man, and I am afraid that there will be a good show to watch in the future.
And those nobles who know Lin Sen's true details, although they may not know so much, it is enough for them to have a different perception and perception of Lin Sen.
At least they didn't think that Lin Sen was just a poor boy who had bad luck, just a few confrontations with Wang Junkuo. That's enough to show this, not to mention that as far as they know, this kid has already gathered a lot of industry in a short period of time.
And like the generals who are familiar with Lin Sen, such as Niu Jinda, Gongsun Wuda and even Li Ji, they are very recognizable of this marriage, which is not in the process of waiting for Lin Sen to come and be hired, and it is indispensable to go over to congratulate Cheng Jin.
It's just that Cheng Yanjin's expression is not very good, of course he is not dissatisfied with Lin Sen, he has the most detailed understanding of the things that Lin Sen has done, and naturally knows that this is indeed a person who can entrust his daughter for life.
It's just that fathers probably have this kind of complicated emotions, mainly because they are reluctant to give up their intimate little padded jackets, and since then they have become someone else's home.
According to the custom at this time, the important relatives of the woman's family basically have to come over to see what dowry gifts the man has given, and the gift list must be read out in public.
Although the law stipulates that as long as there are nine or thirty kinds of dowry, everyone still thinks that it is just the bottom line, and the more dowry is given, the more it can show that the status of their own women in the eyes of the husband's family is heavier.
This is also one of the reasons why Lin Sen must buy a dowry that he can handle, he doesn't want others to think that he looks down on Cheng Huaiyu, this is a treasure in his mind.
And in the crowd who came to watch the ceremony, there were also a few nobles from the family who did not deal with Cheng Huaiyu and them, don't forget that Cheng Huaiyu's mother-in-law is from the Cui family Zhengzhi with five surnames and seven hopes, these can be regarded as Cheng Huaiyu's cousins, but their purpose is not so pure, it is more appropriate to say that they want to see the joke.
"Then Lin Sen is just a poor boy in the mountains, I want to see what kind of dowry he can come up with, tsk, our Huaiyu girl's luck is not too good, I am afraid it will be embarrassing to find such a Langjun." A noble girl of the Cui family said with a chuckle.
If Lin Sen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, this is the one who took the lead in finding Cheng Huaiyu's stubble during the Dragon Boat Festival last time.
"That's right, if you marry such a guy, I don't know if you won't even be able to afford some rouge gouache in the future, buy a few new clothes, maybe you will drain the family, if it's me, you will definitely be embarrassed to go out." The other also said, the disdain in his tone was not disguised in the slightest.
This group of noble ladies muttered here and poured cold water on this matter, that is, they were chattering there in a bunch, and the surrounding noblewomen had their own circles, and they were not embarrassed to mock loudly, otherwise they would be kicked out by Cheng Yanjin directly.
"It's coming, it's coming, the team from there is coming." The hour was almost up, and a guard from the Cheng family came to inform him.
Lin Sen prepared a lot of things, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so the farmers were allowed to use the wheelbarrow cart to push things from the Lin family Zhuangzi in advance.
The things were transported to Qin Qiong's house first, and then they were put into the carriage and set off calmly on the agreed morning.
Qin Qiong simply became the leader, after all, Emperor Li Shimin was only a nominal matchmaker, and he mainly relied on Qin Qiong to help manage the whole process.
When the long motorcade walked through the street, it caused quite a stir.
The residents of Chang'an City are counting the days, just waiting to see this excitement, and naturally know that this is the team that Lin Sen's guy hired when he went to Cheng Biting Jin Mansion.
But there are so many dowry gifts, it is really a bit unexpected by everyone, they all think that Lin Sen, this kid has a swollen face and is fat, maybe these cars are all some worthless food, or other things that look bluffing and are actually of little value.
However, before the mystery was revealed, the convoy successfully aroused greater interest among the residents of Chang'an, and they all wanted to know what kind of dowry was there, so that Na Linsen had the confidence to dare to take the convoy with great fanfare.
Anyway, the gift list is to be read out loud, and I am not afraid that the Cheng family will keep it hidden, and you can hear about it on the street sooner or later.
"What do you think could be in there?"
"I'm afraid this dowry isn't a good thing, right?"
"Could it be that this kid pulled a few cartloads of grass to fill his head?"
"How old is this kid, I heard that he is still an orphan, and he grew up in Zhongnan Mountain, he just earned his life, how much property can he earn at this age? made this battle, it is clear that he wants to die to save face and suffer the crime. ”
"Originally, I had a good impression of this kid, but I didn't expect it to be so insincere! You just get a few cars of dowry gifts, even if the things are almost there, we all know that you are dedicated. can make so many cars and things, people have to believe it, doesn't this show that fooling people to play. ”
"I'll just say that this kid just took shit luck, maybe His Majesty deliberately suppressed Su Guogong, so he casually found such a kid to marry."
The residents of Chang'an along the road basically shook their heads in disbelief, and even their perception of Lin Sen dropped more than a notch. And then there are those guys who are already jealous and hateful, and they take the opportunity to show how prescient they are, and they can't help but fan the flames, and the wind direction of the entire Chang'an City has changed.
