Chapter 834 Good Things Are Near, Send Makeup
However, after all, the Zhen family is a big piece of fat, as long as it does not violate the law, the imperial court also looks forward to the nobles of the family to pay for the purchase of these shop land.
Because of the mention of the industry, Daiyu asked Sister Feng: "What about you, second sister-in-law, do you plan to buy anything?"
As soon as I knew that Jinyiwei was the executor, I asked Cousin Lin to help me buy three Zhuangzi, three shops and 600 acres of fertile land in Jiangnan. The second sister also had Tholin's cousin to help buy a Zhuangzi and land shop. Do you have a fourth sister?"
Xichun nodded and said, "I asked Cousin Lin and asked him to help make the decision." Cousin Lin said that he would try to help us buy these places closer to them, so that they would be easier to take care of in the future. As far as I know, Miaoyu also has this plan, she also said to Aunt Feng that she wanted to buy a Zhuangzi for Yinglian as a dowry, Aunt Feng should not have been, but Miaoyu said, this is also her filial piety to Aunt Feng's pension capital in her later years, Aunt Feng responded, but proposed that Zhuangzi should not exceed ten acres, otherwise she would not be accepted. ”
Daiyu said: "Ten acres?
Xichun said: "Miaoyu also said so, so she said a hundred acres, but Aunt Feng resolutely refused, and finally said that it was easy to say that it was added to thirty acres." But Aunt Feng was still very uneasy, saying that thirty acres cost at least three hundred taels of silver, and it was difficult for Miaoyu, so for the sake of a mother and daughter, she let herself take advantage of it in vain, so she embroidered a lot of exquisite work with Yinglian for her. Miaoyu didn't think there was anything herself, she didn't care about the money, what was rare was the friendship of Aunt Feng. ”
Sister Feng said: "Aunt Feng is from the main mother of everyone, and she has her own arrogance. Although Miaoyu recognized her as her mother, in addition to the hosta and silk things given by the first salute, she usually sent some food, embroidery, and other valuable things, and Aunt Feng never refused to accept it, nor did she refuse to accept Yinglian, which shows that she is ambitious. ”
Xichun nodded and said: "Miaoyu also said, their food is usually separated, Miaoyu has the heart to pay some silver taels to Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng refuses to take it, and also said that Miaoyu has a meal, saying that it was Miaoyu's parents left her to live, how can Miaoyu be so careless, scatter wealth at will, and live up to the hard work of her parents? type, Miaoyu is not used to those things, and every time she begs the grandmother around her to teach her. Therefore, Miaoyu said that after recognizing Aunt Feng's stepmother, she didn't spend money, but saved a lot of money. ”
It turned out that after Feng and Yinglian settled in the capital, they met Miaoyu by chance, but they turned out to be fellow villagers.
The Feng family was born in a family, and his knowledge, character, and skills were excellent, so Miaoyu recognized him as his godmother. It is also regarded as a retreat for oneself.
At this time, Daiyu said: "But the thirty acres of Zhuangzi, go to Jiangnan to buy it, it's too far?"
Sister Feng said: "No, because Zhuangzi is too small, Miaoyu entrusted me to buy a 34-acre Zhuangzi near Grandma Liu's house, and the title deed was given to Yinglian for easy care." ”
Daiyu nodded silently. Sister Feng said Baoqin again: "She didn't come here this time, but there is something at home?"
Daiyu said: "Her brother has now joined the business group set up by my brother and went to Jiangnan to buy a property together, and Baoqin takes care of her mother at home, and accompanies Aunt Xue and my sister-in-law to work." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xue Yan came in and replied, "Miss Qin is here, and Miss Miao and Miss Yinglian are also here." ”
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and said with Sister Feng and Xichun and smiled: "Just say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." It can be seen that man is not spoken. Then he ordered the snow geese to say, "Invite them in." ”
Sister Feng said to Jia Min: "Auntie, in my opinion, Miss Qin came here this time, but I am afraid that she is discussing marriage." ”
Jia Min also had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "That's a good feeling." ”
......
With Lin Ruhai entering Beijing, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, and Lin Zhao's wedding date is finally approaching. He is the son of the Lin family, the Lin family will be a family member in the future, the successor of the loyal uncle, and the enjoyer of the loyal and diligent uncle.
Since Baoqin brought the message of the Xue family, the entire Lin Mansion has been busy.
Lin Ruhai naturally wanted to go to the yamen to take up a post, and Lin Zhao's marriage was handled by Jia Min himself.
I saw that the whole family was busy with their marriage. Lin Zhao felt like a dream, without any sense of reality. It's a sigh, or a joy. He couldn't say it himself.
On the eighth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of filial piety, Prince Heng also sent a few capable old ladies to help take care of Lin Zhao's family affairs. Foreign affairs are fine here. There are Lin Yang, Lin Fu and others to follow the cooking, and a group of friends and subordinates such as Li Long, Han Wenchong, and Gu Haiquan help to run around. The inner house is Jia Min, she is a dignified lady from the first grade, and with the assistance of Sister Feng and Daiyu, she directs her mother-in-law to do things, manages the affairs of the inner house, and comes forward to entertain relatives, friends and daughters.
The wedding tent in the front yard has been erected. The kitchen line entered the shed to test the stove, and the family's account room was announced, and everything was ready.
Although it has not yet arrived, there have been relatives and friends who have come to congratulate them, and naturally they will inevitably have wine and food.
By the ninth day of the new year, the sedan chair has been placed in front of the wedding shed, and it is also officially opened. According to the rules of this time, this day is a banquet for close relatives of the clan, and then it is a reminder and a welcome for makeup.
The Lin family has no clansmen in the capital, and their close relatives are Rongguo Mansion and Hengqin Xue Mansion, so Jia Lian and Sister Feng came over early to help, in addition, Han Wenchong, Gu Haiquan, Pei Lun, Shen Lian, and Lin Dafei are all close subordinates who also take Lin Zhao as their best brother, so they all come to help a day in advance.
After lunch, I have to go to Xuefu to urge makeup. This is Gu Haiquan's good land with everyone a long time ago, and for the sake of decency, he directly recruited eight brocade guards and thousands of households, and his brother flew into a fish suit and embroidered spring knife, and made up eight people to go to urge makeup. Because everyone has a high position and many titles, they put on official uniforms according to their ranks, rode a high-headed horse, and went to Xuefu with many entourages. They are hypnotizers, and they are also considered "makeup deliverers", and they will return with the dowry team over there in a while.
Jia Min and Daiyu carefully looked at the new courtyard, the walls of the new house were pasted into white and cleaned, and when the makeup arrived, they could immediately install the makeup.
Although the courtyards in the house are named after trees, this new courtyard has no example. Because this is the original small courtyard open to the ground, the area is larger, there is a small garden, and there are many kinds of trees. Lin Zhao named it Yanxue Hall, and there was a plaque hanging at the gate of the courtyard, with four words written on it: Ruler Tree Inch Hong
From Xue's Mansion to Lin's house, along the way, there were people from the Lin Mansion wearing new clothes and hats to report back and forth. Not long after the Xue Mansion was announced, there was news coming back from here. Sun Shaozong, Feng Ziying and others, leading the drummers, greeted the makeup here.
The team of Xue Mansion to deliver the dowry came to Lin Mansion and blocked most of the street.
First of all, thirty-six pieces of furniture opened the way, and several boxes and cabinets made of high-quality pear and rosewood were readily available, and they were placed in place one by one according to the places that Xue Fu had measured earlier.
Then the seventy-two were quilted pillows, curtains, four seasons' clothes, rulers, and so on. These are all important paving hangings, and the rest will be put into the Lin family's warehouse.
Then there are the hanging ornaments of one hundred and eight lifts. This is good, calligraphy and painting antiques are not in the box, the whole box is carried by the whole box. These are naturally festive and auspicious hanging, and the rest are put into storage. At this time, the Lin family's warehouse was already full, and there was nothing to stuff in, but the dignified Lin Mansion, naturally there was a place, Lin Zhao called open two wings, and asked the cage to be carried here first, and Lin Yang arranged for someone to guard it.
After the large items, there are trivial things, and the forty-eight big red boxes contain head jewelry, rouge gouache and other things. I also found a side room and put it in, locked it, and waited for it to be carefully picked up in the future.
Finally, there are 20 tilts of the grange, four real estates, eight industrial shops under the name of Xue Mansion, four wedding maids, four grandmothers, and 20 accompanying families.
The lengthy gift list consumed a thick pile of mud gold and red notes, and the person sent by the Xue Mansion to hold the list of makeup and pay for the report and sang choked shouted so that his throat was dumb, and finally poured most of the pot of tea, and then shouted in a hoarse voice: "Please groom Lin Zhao take the ......"
It took three and a half hours to receive and place these dowries, from morning to dusk, and after receiving them properly, the Lin family set up a banquet to invite the housekeepers and servants who gave the dowry to eat and drink, and the courtyard was large, and it was also full of seats.
Jia Min, Daiyu, Sister Feng and others naturally smiled when they saw this grand scene.
When all my friends saw it, they all felt lively.
However, among the crowd, there are naturally people arranged by Mrs. Wang, but they are Lin Zhixiao's family.
After she saw this scene, she sighed deeply, knowing that her housewife had to eat fasting and chanting Buddha beads again.
