Chapter 56: Son-in-law's Makeup

The new son-in-law is the same in ancient and modern times, and now it is a red envelope to close the door, while the Sui and Tang dynasties are joking questions and answers, and they must sing every step of the way, such as 'down to the gate Yong', 'to the middle door Yong', 'Feng Lock Yong', 'to the pile Yong', 'to the Tangji Yong', 'to the Tang Hu Yong', etc., that is, to answer questions every step of the way, the questions are tricky and weird, and even embarrassing.

This is called the son-in-law, that is, teasing the son-in-law, is the most popular custom in the Northern Dynasties, and later to the Sui and Tang dynasties became more and more intense, 'the son-in-law is a woman's dog, beaten to death without writing', from banter to stick addition, repeatedly accidentally injured into life.

The Pei family is a famous family, although it is not as good as sticks, but it is not exempt from vulgarity, but Cui Laofu held a special meeting in the first two years, and the Pei family was not allowed to make things difficult for the new aunt like this, although this is the case, several aunts and aunts are still unwilling in their hearts, and they always want to find an opportunity to understand Yang Yuanqing's details, which is also commonplace, and everyone wants to know how much the other party earns? How much money do you have in the house? What do you do for a living? Secretly compare with your own uncle.

Today is to discuss the marriage date, and it happens that Yang Yuanqing is also there, so several aunts and aunts decided to use this opportunity to find out the details.

Yang Yuanqing also knows that now is not the time to ask Yong, but this is a festive thing, and there is no need to be so stingy, and it doesn't hurt to be generous at all.

He smiled and bowed and said: "The duke of Wuyuan County, the honor of the general, the official of the general doctor, and the general of the right Xiaowei, there are three good houses, one in the capital and one in Chang'an, one in Wuyuan County, one in Yanshi County, one in Yanshi County, and one in Yanshi County, with a hundred hectares of land, as for money, I don't care." ”

Yang Yuanqing is telling the truth, how much money he has, he didn't count it in his heart, selling jade, tea, and peach wine, he has saved at least tens of millions in the past few years, and a few days ago he sold grain, and he earned 700,000 hangs for 20,000 stones, all of which were exchanged for gold and silver.

Several aunts whispered, I heard that this Yang Yuanqing is quite a saint, a high lord, a young man, and a good family, it is indeed a rare good son-in-law, the three aunts showed envy in their eyes, especially Pei Xi'er's mother Zhang, who was supposed to be her daughter to marry Yang Yuanqing, but Xi'er didn't work hard, and gave Yang Yuanqing to Minqiu, but she married a scholar who was powerless, although she was also a famous family, and her daughter also liked it, but Zhang was really dissatisfied, she considered the problem more realistically, What I want is a visible money industry.

Zhang still couldn't help but ask: "What is the approximate amount of money?" ”

"More than a thousand! I don't know. ”

There was an exclamation in the lobby, of course Yang Yuanqing said more than 10,000,000 hangs, it can't be more than 10,000,000 yuan, and he usually only says three points when he enters, so that he doesn't have tens of millions of hanging family wealth, which makes the aunts and aunts in the room full of sourness and jealousy.

At this moment, they knew that Yang Yuanqing's family business was thick and his family wealth was tens of millions, and they were all uncomfortable, and their white spoon son-in-law was really incomparable, especially the Zhang family, who was annoyed, and knew that it was right to force Xi'er to marry Yang Yuanqing at the beginning.

The saddest thing in this is Pei You, she doesn't care about money, but she is sad for herself, she has always liked Yang Yuanqing very much, but she has already made a marriage, there is no possibility, now she is even more widowed, she didn't even enter her husband's house, her husband died, and she had to be widowed for three years, seeing that Yuanqing was going to marry Minqiu, but she was alone in the empty room, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she left quietly while she didn't pay attention.

"I want to ask my aunt-to-be again, will the bride live with her in-laws or open a house independently when the bride passes through the door in the future?"

In the house room, Mr. Cui, Mr. Wang, and Yang Lihua discussed the final marriage date, and both parties were a little regretful, Yang Yuanqing was in charge of state affairs, and he was going to the Western Regions after his death.

"It's also a coincidence, my lord is going to the Western Regions after his death, and it is estimated that it is the same thing as Yuanqing, so let them go with their son-in-law, and there will be a response on the way."

The old man Cui Lao said was her husband Pei Ju, and Pei Ju also had the order to go to the Western Regions and set off after ten years.

Yang Lihua smiled: "This is the best!" ”

Wang Fujin was more concerned about his daughter's wedding, and when the door curtain rang, Pei Minqiu walked in and gave Yang Lihua Yingying a salute, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

She gave gifts to her grandmother and mother again, and Yang Lihua beckoned to her and smiled: "Sit next to me!" ”

Pei Minqiu's heart was pounding, she knew that Jinxiao was here to talk about her marriage, and she heard that Yang Yuanqing was also here and was being questioned by several aunts and aunts.

She sat next to Yang Lihua, Yang Lihua pointed to Huang Li on the small table and smiled: "The third or fifth year of junior high school, which one do you like?" ”

Min Qiu Bingxue was smart, she immediately understood, her face turned red, and she lowered her head in shame, how could she ask her such a thing.

Or is Wang Fujin distressed about his daughter, since his son-in-law is going to leave after ten years of death, then get married as soon as possible, let them stay a few more days in the white spoon, she smiled and said: "Since you don't speak, then the mother will make the decision for you?" ”

Minqiu nodded, "It's up to my mother to decide!" ”

Wang Fujin counted the days and said with a smile: "Twenty-nine years today, tomorrow the dowry is down, you can prepare, thirty, the first and second days of the new year, there are three young time, for small households to enter the family, the financial resources are insufficient, the time is a little tighter, but for our two families, the three young time is enough, then it is set on the third day of the new year, how about it?" ”

Yang Lihua said with a smile: "I prefer the third year of junior high school, 'three' and 'birth, promotion' homonym, it is the ancient day, what does the old man think?" ”

Old man Cui smiled slightly, "If you have a noble son early, then the third year of junior high school!" ”

Pei Minqiu held an oil-paper umbrella and walked quickly to her room, her heart was beating hard, she didn't expect the wedding to come so quickly, she was going to get married in four years, she had been looking forward to it for almost two years, and felt that the years were long and difficult, but she really looked forward to it, but it had to be in front of her, which caught her a little off guard.

She was both happy and nervous, and she had a thousand things to say, but she had nowhere to talk.

Min Qiu hurriedly passed by the Yuxiang Pavilion by the pool, but found that there was a lonely figure in the pavilion, and recognized it as her eldest sister Pei You, leaning on the pavilion pillar with a thin body, staring blankly at the pond.

Pity swelled up in Min Qiu's heart, she slowly stepped forward and whispered, "Eldest sister, it's cold in the rain, go to my room!" ”

Pei You sat by the water and looked at the shadow of self-pity, she sighed lowly, "Xi'er got married last year, and you have to leave again this year, only I am the only one left, the years are long, when will it be the end?" ”

Min Qiu stepped forward and gently hugged Pei You's shoulders and smiled: "If you don't dislike it, you can live with me!" ”

Pei You patted her hand and smiled bitterly: "It's all stupid, you newlyweds, what is it for me to live with you?" ”

Min Qiu's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I heard the princess just now say that he was ordered by the Holy Order, and he will go to the Western Regions Gongqian after ten deaths, and he will return in at least half a year, the princess asked me to live with her, and you can also go to the princess's mansion with me!" Everyone has a company. ”

Pei You frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This emperor is also ridiculous, how can there be a new entry that has just been broken up as soon as he is married, and Da Sui has not entered?" ”

Min Qiu was startled and hurriedly said, "Shhh "Don't let me hear." ”

"You! It's guts."

Pei You is a straight temper by nature, although she was sad for a while, but Pei Minqiu talked to her, and her mood gradually improved, so she took Minqiu's hand and smiled: "Then it's decided, when he leaves, I will live in your house, don't dislike me, drive me away." ”

"I dislike you, it's too late for me to be happy!"

The two walked hand in hand to Min Qiu's room, and in the rain, Pei You's envious voice was heard from afar.

"Sister Min, you are really going to become a rich woman, do you know how much money he has?"

"Sister You, don't talk so vulgarly, okay?"

"Vulgar? When we broke the bottle, we didn't have any money, how embarrassing it was, have you forgotten? ”

Early the next morning, Yang Lihua ordered to send a dowry to Pei's house, it stands to reason that the dowry should be sent together with the marriage letter, but at that time, Yuanqing was filial piety, and Minqiu was not old enough, so the two parties agreed to send the marriage first, set the marriage, and then give the dowry when the marriage was married.

The dowry of the Sui and Tang dynasties is very exquisite, and the order also has rules, walking on two good horses, followed by the marriage book and the letter of ceremony, and then followed by the five-color brocade, bundle silk, money box, pigs and sheep, mustache noodles, game, fruit, ghee salt, sauce and vinegar, pepper, ginger, onion and garlic, these things can not be wrong in order, put on a plate or box, and finally put it on the court, and carry it to the woman's house by entering.

The woman has to set up a bed first, put a case on the couch, and set up an incense burner, a water bowl and a knife on the case, the knife is used to open the letter box containing the marriage book, and read the marriage book in public, which has been done at the beginning, so this time it is just a dowry gift.

After sending the dowry, the two sides began to prepare nervously, from the wedding date to the time of greeting, generally ten or half a month, mainly for both parties to prepare the time, this is not specified, is based on the financial resources of both parties, financial resources, the preparation time will be longer, even a year and a half years, strong financial resources, three or five years can be, the key is to choose the ancient day.

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye it is the third day of the fifth month, the wedding of the Sui and Tang dynasties is different from now, according to the ancient rites, it is carried out at night, the two sides worship their ancestors first, and then go to greet their relatives after the dark.

Yang Yuanqing's new home has been renovated after several years of intense decoration and arrangement, the spirit of the wealthy family has begun to appear, the dark night, the lights are bright, Yang Yuanqing is decorated with joy, the silk and bamboo are melodious, the singing and dancing bursts, the guests are full of doors, the excitement is very high, hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs are busy running, arranging wine banquets, entertaining guests, and more than 100 soldiers are guiding the carriage outside to maintain order.

At the gate, Yu Juluo, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is considered Yang Yuanqing's elder, and he is responsible for greeting the guests, and the main marriage is Li Min, the doctor of Guanglu, who accompanies the guests to sit in the guest hall and chat.

It's just that Yang Yuanqing and Yang Lihua have one of the biggest problems, they are both single and have no relatives or friends, and the Yang family did not send invitations, so the biggest problem they faced was insufficient, fortunately, Yang Yuanqing had a master Yu Juluo, Yang Lihua also had a son-in-law Li Min, and this wedding was arranged by their two members.

The prime minister is Li Min's nephew Li Chongxuan, he is only eighteen years old this year, he is a general under the right guard, and Yang Yuanqing is his top boss, so he is also very hardworking.

The master of ceremonies told him that the time had come, Li Chongxuan trotted all the way to the inner room and knocked on the door, "General, the time has arrived, let's go!" ”
