Chapter 465: Ruyi (II)
When the next big time comes, it is usually the big media who go to the woman's house with their close relatives, Cao Song and Jinghui's relatives, and the big media invited are the Yiduli couple.
Fortunately, he set off for the sixteenth to go to the mouth, and he was able to catch up with the Cao family and go to the Fucha family to make a decision.
According to the current rules, the ceremonies are held in the morning, which is the saying "early ceremony and late dowry".
In addition to the ancient rites of "goose cage" and "sea of wine", the rest is the set of boxes. Even boxes are even numbers, ordinary people carry two, four lift, rich families eight, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-six and so on.
Each box is four-layered, and each layer is filled with two dowry gifts.
At that time, Jueluo's family used sixteen dowries, which was already extremely decent. The Cao family used thirty-two lifts to the Chunjun Palace, Cao Hao is the eldest son of the long house, and the future parents of the Cao family, the younger brothers naturally cannot be compared.
The dowry prepared for the Fucha family and the chamberlain's mansion was all twenty-four.
The carrying boxes are all red lacquered and gold-edged, and the bearer is also specially wearing a green robe with red light and gold happy characters, with a big velvet autumn hat on his head, which looks very festive.
Yi Duli and Cao Hao said hello to the yamen yesterday, and they will go later today. The two of them rode horses, Yiduli's wife and Chu Yu rode in a sedan chair, and the group went to Fucha's house.
In front of the procession, there is a specially hired drum player, and the route is extremely lively.
Yi Duli rode on the horse, turned around, glanced at the hiring team, and said to Cao Hao: "I really didn't expect this girl Jinghui to be so decent, and this is more due to the power of Fu Ruotong County Lord." My cousin has knowledge underground, and she should be relieved in her heart. In the end, with a bit of embarrassment.
The family has passed, and this is just the beginning.
Thinking of Zhao Jia's temper, Cao Hao was really not optimistic. However, Jinghui is a supple surname, even if there is friction between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she will not make a fuss.
Overcoming rigidity with softness, Jinghui said that it was also a virtuous and chaste Jing. After getting along for a long time, if Zhao Jia's heart can be knotted, he will see that this daughter-in-law is good.
On the side of Fucha Mansion, Fu Nai and his eldest son Changling are in the mansion. In addition to the Fuchaben family, the maiden family of the Ilgen Jueluo clan and the Wenshun Mansion all had congratulatory guests to the door.
Changling Township is on the list of exams, and now he is studying in Fuzhong, preparing for next year's examination.
On the side of the Wenshun Mansion, he knew that Jing Hui had promised the Cao family, although he did not rush to pick up the girl, but in order to look good, Zeng Shou also asked the servant woman to ask twice, and sent one hundred and eighty taels of silver to add a dowry to Jing Hui.
He also gave fifty taels of silver to Jue Luo's clan, and said that according to the rule of raising orphans and elders in the family, it will also be a rule of fifty taels of silver every year in the future.
When Cao Yin's will to enter Beijing came down, Zeng Shou regretted it a little.
Cao Yin is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Hao is the servant of the temple, and the future new aunt is also a guard, this family business is really necessary.
Although in terms of origin, the Gongfu side is the founding father, and he has been marrying the royal family for several generations, which is much more noble; But the Cao family is the emperor's confidant, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and their weight in the court is not worse than that of the public government.
Although Zeng Shou regretted it, Jinghui had already been approached by Fucha Mansion. He couldn't put down his worth and had to take the girl over. However, it should also be said that in addition to the silver sent before, a lot of dowries were sent over there.
Jinghui's side was also taken by her aunt to the Wenshun Mansion to greet her brother and sister-in-law.
Regardless of whether the Wenshun Mansion looks at the Cao family's affection or not, but the grandmother has something to rely on, which also makes Jinghui grateful from the bottom of her heart.
With the sound of blowing and blowing, the team sent by the Cao family had already arrived outside the door of Fucha's house.
Fu Nai asked someone to open the middle door, welcomed the team through the gate, and the twenty-four dowry gifts were displayed in the courtyard, Chu Yu and Zhao Jiashi served as the guests of the next office, so that people held the Ruyi box and were welcomed into the inner house, and Cao Hao and Yi Duli were accompanied by Fu Nai in person, waiting for tea in the living room.
Fu Nai's face was full of smiles, and he could see that he was genuinely happy.
Although the Fucha family and the Cao family are in-laws, they have been estranged for many years due to grievances in their early years. Although Cao Hao said that he was better after entering Beijing, Fu Nai and Cao Yin still had an unresolved knot.
Now, because of Jinghui, the two families have renew their in-laws, which is also cheap to move around in the future.
Not only is there an explanation from the fourth elder brother in the middle, but Fu Nai himself is also a warm-hearted person. Although he couldn't pull his face to admit his mistakes to Cao Yin, when he remembered what happened when he was young and frivolous, he really made too many mistakes.
Yi Duli and Fu Nai originally had a good relationship, sitting in the hall, talking about this family business, they were also a little happy. Cao Hao sat aside, and Tong Changling also had a match and a non-match.
Fu Nai held the "Rite Post" made of red paper folds in his hand, and wrote the word "Luanyin" on it, opened it, and wrote:
I would like to follow the King James Decree and the Three Yuan Wannian Book to check the two years of Qiankun and not to use the auspicious period with a good day Zodiac Zhou Tang Ji said, and I would like to marry Daji on the sixteenth day of the fifty-third year of the month of Kangxi.
Bow to heaven and earth, join the house, sit in the tent, hand over the cup, crown and belt, and face the south of the god of joy, and welcome the good fortune.
It is advisable to marry and send relatives to the hall with water and wood; It is advisable to marry and send relatives to avoid rats, cows, and dogs; It is advisable for newcomers to get on and off the sedan chair with unitary time; It is advisable to avoid pregnancy, widows, and hairy girls do not need to be lucky; All the way to the temple, well, lonely grave, with red felt to welcome the auspicious.
The marriage date of the old gentleman Fu Nai, the elder gentleman of Mr. Fu Nai, the servant of the concubine, has been set, and the family matter is imminent, Fu Nai laughed twice, closed the post, and asked Cao Hao: "The letter from the south is coming!" It seems that your father will be able to enter Beijing at the end of the year? ”
Cao Hao bowed his head and said: "Yes, uncle, I have received a letter from my father, saying that after the new weaving commission, I will set off for Beijing." When calculating, it is at the end of winter and the beginning of the lunar month. ”
"So good! At that time, the happy events can also be more lively. Fu Nai nodded.
In the inner house, Chu Yu and Zhao Jia were welcomed into the upper room. First, Ilgen Jue Luo led the two to the East House.
Jinghui wore new clothes, sat cross-legged on the kang, and bowed her head to greet her.
Chu Yu acted as a messenger and took out Ruyi from the Ruyi box with a smile on his face. When she saw the inch-long crack on Ruyi's side, she couldn't help frowning, and then stretched out, pretending not to pay attention, and put Ruyi on Jinghui's lap.
Jinghui was already blushing and didn't dare to look at it.
After Chu Yu finished letting go of Ruyi, he took out the Baizi pomegranate hairpin and Ruyi Acacia hairpin he brought and put them on Jinghui.
Zhao Jiashi stood aside and watched the ceremony, and sighed in his heart. From the side of Ituru, she is Jinghui's cousin; Counting from the Cao family, she is Jinghui's aunt.
Without the protection of his father and brother, although the Fucha family is nominally his mother's family, they are separated by one layer in the end. If you are wronged after getting married, where is there a place to confide?
After a lively time, there were drinks and dishes here, and at the same time, Cao Song prepared the four treasures of the study, cakes, fruits, etc. as return gifts.
Ten days later, with the same ceremony, he was hired at the Shilang Mansion. The same twenty-four dowry gifts, the same gongs and drummers, the only difference is that this time the big media was replaced by Fu Nai. Iduli has already gone out on a business trip.
Looking at the dowry gift sent by the Cao family, Wu Yashi was also satisfied. In her heart, she already felt that Cao Shuo was more stable than her brother and had the style of an eldest son.
However, the young and the old are in order.
Although they are all sons-in-law, they do not occupy the longest, and Cao Shuo does not have a title, which is not comparable to Cao Song.
Cao Song has already made up for the guards in the palace, Cao Shuo is just a prisoner, there is no errand on him, as a mother-in-law, Wu Yashi is a little picky, and it is also ordinary.
If you lose to someone else's girl, it's just a girl, and she is a girl from Dong E's family who has been raided, how can you swallow this breath?
Anyway, this is just this girl, she is so hurt to the heart, so Wu Yashi secretly made up her mind to give the girl a rich dowry, and she must compare the daughter-in-law of the long house over there, and give the girl a long face, so as to save the confidence to speak at her mother-in-law's house in the future.
In Ruhui's heart, whether it is her aunt's cousin or cousin, she doesn't care much about it.
After all, marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, where is the reason why the daughter's family is worried about herself?
But how can she be an eighteen-year-old girl, not a fool, and she knows that she was originally talking about her cousin, but because of her illness, she was replaced by a cousin.
How can the shame and indignation be explained?
She didn't want her parents to follow her, so she endured it, pretending to be demure and embroidering needlework in the boudoir. In my heart, I was extremely disgusted with being someone else's daughter-in-law.
Wu Yashi was busy preparing various dowries, and did not notice that her daughter's mood was wrong.
Only Ruhui's ** Mama Tao felt that something was wrong with the girl, and asked in private, and Ruhui cried fiercely.
If it weren't for her illness, why would her parents be inferior to her aunt, or the other party would have betrayed the alliance and endured another family business.
If she didn't want her parents to worry about her daughter again, how could she marry so aggrieved?
What's so good about the men of the Cao family, who is rare and who can't? Even if you become a monk and be a sister-in-law, it is much better than being picked and chosen.
Isn't that a joke these days? It seems that she is sticking to Cao's house.
Although Mama Tao also said that she was also wronged for the girl, she only had comfort in front of her. Speaking of which, Cao Shuo's appearance is also outstanding, and he is no worse than his brother.
In contrast, this third child is quite polite, unlike the second child, who always stares at the bull's eyes and looks a little stunned.
After a while, I heard that Ruhui was crying and laughing, and when I thought of Cao Shuo's slightly wooden appearance, I suddenly felt bored again.
Some people are disappointed, and some people are happy, but there is a little uneasiness and fear in the joy.
After the dowry, Jinghui was very relieved that her grandmother could not be, and after begging her aunt, she returned to Fangjia Hutong. Although Ilgen Jue Luo didn't want his niece to go back and had too much to do with the Dong E family, this blood and family relationship could not be separated, so he could understand her filial piety.
On the Cao Mansion side, they are all beaming.
Every time he came back from the Yamen on an errand, Cao Hao would return to the house, or talk to Mr. Zhuang about how his father was after he arrived in Beijing; Or go with Chu Yu to see the main courtyard and see if there is anything else that needs to be added to the furnishings in the house.
Cao Yin was able to return to Beijing, and the Cao family retreated from Jiangnan like this, and Mr. Zhuang didn't expect it. In the end, what the sacred heart is, we will not be able to see until Cao Yin enters Beijing.
On the side of Dongfu, Cao Song had already gone to the guard office, he was already tall, and he wore a guard uniform, and he was also dignified, with a bit of might.
Because of his young age and low grade, Tongshi's guards began to look down on him, and only regarded him as an ordinary gentleman. As a result, in the school competition, Cao Song's riding and archery kung fu was all mastered, and the men spoke when they spoke, which could be regarded as harmonious.
Zhao Jia's family saw that his son became a guard as he wished, and went to the palace on an errand and felt that he had gained face, and he was also a little grateful to Cao Hao in his heart. If it weren't for Jinghui, she really wanted to thank her nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law.
Even if it's a family, it's not easy to call in vain.
But there is Jinghui's matter in front of him, and Cao Song has made such a fuss, so Zhaojia's family is somewhat uneasy.
Cao Song's new house is next to Cao Shuo's new house, and the size and pattern of the two courtyards are exactly the same, which was specially chosen by Zhaojia's family.
When the two houses were covered with white and fell to the ground, and the two in-laws made people measure the specifications, Zhao Jia's heart sneered.
Not to mention that my aunt and grandmother are gone, even if my aunt and grandmother are still there, what is it worth? Since she is willing to take a relative and be an orphan girl's mother's family, then she wants to see what the other party can accompany her?
The two girls around her are okay, Lu Ju is the granddaughter of her nurse, and she treats her as half a girl. This was originally prepared for the eldest son, but now he is thinking about staying for another two years, and when his niece is not in a few years, he will open his face to Cao Shuo to be a housekeeper.
Zilan is nineteen, and in the next year, she will reach the age of letting go out and marrying.
Cao Song now has only one person in the house, and he still ruined half of his face, making trouble that no one is human, no ghost is not a ghost, and Zilan just fits his heart.
Whether to open her face before her daughter-in-law enters the door, or wait for her daughter-in-law to open her face after entering the door, Zhao Jia's thought about it and hasn't made up her mind yet......
