Chapter 201: Promise
Wei Tingzhen was so angry that he thundered.
The Dou family dared to threaten her!
She went straight to the Yan'an Hou Mansion and said to the matchmaker, Mrs. Yan'an Hou: "How can there be a reason for the woman's family to set a date when you get married?" I think these days are ordinary, so it is better to ask Qin Tianjian to choose a few days again. ”
Mrs. Ting'anhou said euphemistically: "The man asked the woman to set the date in order to make love, not to mention that I think the days of Qin Tian's election are good." Your father has been gone for several years, and your mother is alone, and she must be looking forward to holding her grandson sooner. There are some things that I just don't get too wrong. Half serious and half joking, he said, "Now people all over Kyoto say that you have a crush on our family Qingyuan, and even what kind of tea I use to entertain you when you come to your house as a guest, they all say it clearly." Fortunately, I am the matchmaker of Jining Hou, if this is left on weekdays, our family will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
The two families of Wang Wei were friends in the world, and they were also close, Wei Tingzhen came to their house to visit the door, and even in Kyoto, there were rumors that Wei Tingzhen fell in love with her daughter Wang Qingyuan, and Mrs. Yan'an Hou didn't take it to heart, just as those who had nothing to do after eating and were idle and panicked, until the Dou family entrusted Mrs. Cai to discuss the matter of the Dou Wei family's retreat, she was alert, and sent someone to inquire, which surprised the rumors, thinking that the Dou family would definitely not discredit themselves, and then thought that Wei Tingzhen had to ask about Qingyuan's marriage every time he came to the house. felt that even if this matter was a rumor, this rumor also had some truth, and couldn't help but be furious, I wanted to push the matter of the matchmaker of the Wei family, but I was afraid that others would say that she was "weak-hearted", but the marriage of the Dou Wei family has been dragged on like this, so anxious that she can't eat well and can't sleep, thinking that her daughter is already a little older, what if the marriage is affected by this incident? Only then did Wei Tingzhen urge Wei Tingzhen to hurry up and handle Wei Tingyu's marriage.
Wei Tingzhen didn't know if Mrs. Yan'an Hou knew that this matter was spread by herself, and she couldn't help but blush and turn white for a while when she heard the words.
Mrs. Yan'an Hou casually pointed to the recent days and said: "As soon as the half of July is over, the weather will be cool, and I think it will be set on August 4." The new daughter-in-law entered the door, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The family is reunited, and your father is in the spirit of heaven, and he will be happy to watch it. ”
Wei Tingzhen still wanted to drag it back.
Mrs. Yan'an Hou said: "I'm old, and I have to help Qingyuan prepare for marriage, if you still have to discuss the marriage with the Dou family, I think, why don't you ask your second wife to help spread the word on both sides?" ”
Wei Tingzhen knew that this was Mrs. Yan'an Hou admonishing herself, although she was a little helpless in her heart, she still said: "Then I'll go back and talk to my mother, and ask her old man to come up with an idea!" ”
"That's fine." Mrs. Yan'an Hou smiled and served tea, her attitude was much colder than before.
Wei Tingzhen took a breath and went to the Marquis Mansion of Jining, and happened to meet Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai was talking to Tian: "...... Whether it's not, you old man has to take the idea, and it's not a good idea to keep quiet. The Dou family doesn't have to marry your family, it's just that the ancestors have an agreement, so it's not good to give up at will. Whether the Wei family admits or not, you have to give an explanation, right? If you still recognize this family business, the fourth lady of the Dou family has been waiting for your family for four years, is your family going to set the date of marriage. If you don't recognize this family business," he said, knocking on the thick gift list on the coffee table, "Since your family doesn't agree, then the Dou family doesn't have to pay back the dowry or something you sent to your family, but the gift that the Dou family gave to your family, you have to pay back it twice." If something has been misappropriated for other purposes and cannot be returned, it can be converted into silver! ”
Seeing Wei Tingzhen walk into the door, Mrs. Cai stopped the topic with an "oops", smiled and greeted her, bowed her knees, and said, "It's just right that my aunt is back." You are a person who understands, what about your relationship with the Dou family, you can also take a sentence - now Dou Ge Lao doesn't know about the Wang family, everything is easy to discuss, and after a long time, he won't live. If Elder Dou Ge knew, this family affair would not be able to bear the fifth wife, and if he said that he would retreat, he would have to retreat......"
Tian was relieved and hurriedly shouted "Zhen'er".
Wei Tingzhen smiled at Tian first soothingly, and then his face sank, and he said unhappily: "Who is chewing the root of the tongue?" ”
"We don't know who's chewing on the root of the tongue." Mrs. Cai's face was full of smiles, but the words she said could pierce people into a hole, "The note written by Jining Hou to the fifth lady of the Dou family is still in the hands of the fifth lady, originally read that the two families are in-laws, so it is okay not to mention it, but since the two families are going to withdraw from the family, they have no worries......"
Wei Tingzhen felt that it was the woman who was ashamed of this kind of thing, and calculated that the Dou family would not make a noise, and was angry that Wei Tingyu acted recklessly, and slapped Wei Tingyu hard, how could she still be in the mood to ask about the specific matter, at this time, when she heard that Wei Tingyu still had a note in the hands of the fifth wife of the Dou family, she was so angry that her eyes were dazzled, but before she could calm down, Tian, who felt sorry for her son, said in a hurried voice: "I think the wedding date is set for the fourth day of August......
"Mother!" Wei Tingzhen was angry and anxious, and couldn't help shouting at her mother, but she was stunned when she saw her mother's pale face and gentle eyes full of horror.
Tian has already said: "Zhen'er, don't say more, I am in charge of this matter, and the date is set for the fourth day of the eighth month." As he spoke, he nodded apologetically at Mrs. Cai and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Cai to help us say a few kind words in front of our in-laws." ”
Mrs. Cai was overjoyed when she saw that her goal had been achieved, and when she saw Wei Tingzhen standing aside with a gloomy face, she thought of Wei Tingzhen's repeated bad things, so she said unforgivingly: "Mrs. Tai is easy to say, but I don't know what your aunt and grandmother say?" The eldest aunt and grandmother of your mansion are capable people, not only can she be the home of the Jingguo Mansion, but she also has the final say in your family's affairs. Don't I just went back to the fifth wife of the Dou family, your aunt and grandmother changed their minds again, let me run for nothing......"
"You!" Wei Tingzhen was embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this, and wanted to refute Mrs. Cai a few words, but the Tian family, who wanted to calm things down, stopped her and said, "My own brother, how can there be any reason not to care?" There was a reason for what happened before. Now that it has been settled, let's not talk about the past. We will invite a matchmaker to come to the door and officially post on the same day. ”
Mrs. Cai smiled and praised Tian's words with a few words, "Tolerant and generous, it is her blessing that the fourth lady of the Dou family can marry in", and she didn't look at Wei Tingzhen, got up and said goodbye.
Wei Tingzhen stomped her feet: "Mother's ......"
"Don't say more." Tian was unmoved, "This matter has been decided." ”
Wei Tingzhen was so angry that she went to find Wei Tingyu, and stepped forward to screw Wei Tingyu's ear, which was half a head taller than herself: "You idiot, what did you write to the fifth miss of the Dou family?" ”
Wei Tingyu grinned: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" When did I write something to Miss Dou Jiawu...... You let go, it's painful. ”
Wei Tingzhen was stunned, and said solemnly: "You really didn't write any notes to the fifth lady of the Dou family?" ”
My brother never lied to her.
Wei Tingyu swears.
Wei Tingzhen realized that she and her mother had been in charge.
She gritted her teeth angrily, scolded Cai in her heart, and thought about how to make Mrs. Cai ugly, who knew that the Dou family's actions were unexpectedly fast - the next day, Dou Ming's dowry list was sent.
Granges, houses, shops, furniture, spices, jewelry, clothing, medicinal herbs...... A booklet was written densely, and it looked like 20,000 taels of silver.
Wei Tingzhen was shocked.
Tian glanced at his daughter pointedly.
Wei Tingyu was more direct and said, "Sister, don't talk about Dou Zhao in the future." Anyway, she will be your brother-in-law in the future, and I will let her listen to you in the future. ”
Wei Tingzhen's face was red for a while and white for a while.
Back at Jingguo Mansion, Zhang Mingyuan also said to her: "I told me a long time ago, don't always look at the table when looking at things, if this marriage is broken up because of you, won't you regret it?" ”
Wei Tingzhen muttered two sentences unwillingly, no one could hear what she said, but then she never accused Wei Tingyu of her marriage.
Ask the matchmaker, place an invitation, book the wedding tent, and arrange the account room...... The marriage proceeded in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of July.
After receiving invitations, congratulatory gifts were sent one after another.
Among them, Gu Yu and Wang Huaiqing gave a gift of five hundred taels of silver, and pressed down Wei Tingyu's uncle's two hundred taels of gift money and Wei Tingzhen's four hundred taels of silver. No wonder some people say that although the British prince is cold, he is very bold. Look at the ...... of this gift."
The gift money is to be reciprocated, but when the things sent out are returned, they can be increased or decreased at their discretion, obviously Song Mo is not ready to let Wei Tingyu return the gift.
Wei Tingyu didn't expect it, and was a little afraid.
Tian repeatedly told Wei Tingyu: "In the future, you have to pay attention to the affairs of Song Shizi." ”
Wei Tingyu couldn't stop nodding.
Zhang Yuanming frowned slightly.
Compared with Wei Tingyu's friendship, Song Yantang's gift is too precious.
He wanted to remind his brother-in-law, but when he saw Wei Tingzhen holding the pair of agate deer in the sky and couldn't stop exclaiming, "It's so beautiful", he swallowed the words that came to his mouth - saying such words at this time would only spoil the scenery.
The first three and the last five.
On the first day of August, the Wei family began to build a wine shed, test the stove, and welcome relatives and friends who came to congratulate.
Dou Zhao returned to the alley of Jing'an Temple.
She will marry here.
The fifth wife said Xiang, and Wang Yingxue came forward to preside over the feed.
In the afternoon, Dou Zhao's aunt, Mrs. Zhao, rushed to Kyoto with her daughter Zhao Zhang.
Duan Gongyi and others also quietly lived in the alley of Jing'an Temple.
