"King Yong'an has been standing outside our house for a long time?"

Xie Mulin raised his head in surprise and looked at Cuijiao, who had come to report this gossip, and was a little unable to react: "The concierge is not mistaken, right?" Why did Rigor stand outside the door for half a day? If he comes to me, just call the door. He has been here every three or five days for a year, so he has already been familiar with the porter, right? ”

Cuijiao smiled: "The porter is absolutely not mistaken! As the girl said, the prince of the county came to our house once every three or five days, and the concierge had already been familiar with him, could he still admit his mistake? As soon as the concierge uncle heard the sound of horses' hooves, he guessed that it was the horse led by the entourage of the prince of the county, and ran to the door early to wait for the door, but he didn't think that the prince of the county did not move for a long time. The concierge uncle also looked out through the crack in the door to see what was going on, and found that the prince of the county with the boy surnamed Hong was standing on the side of the road from a distance to look at the gate of our house, but he refused to lean over, and he didn't know what was going on.

"On this big night, if the porter uncle shouts loudly, I am afraid that the neighbors will hear it, and I know that the prince of the county can't even wait for the work of the past few days, and he has to come to find the girl, and he will laugh, so he didn't dare to say anything, but squatted behind the crack in the door and waited for the prince of the county to order. Who knows if the prince didn't come over and left directly? The concierge was so puzzled that when he saw that I was going to talk to my father, he simply chatted with me and asked me to tell the girl. Although I don't know why the county prince passed through the door and didn't enter, the girl is about to become the princess of the county, and it is not a bad thing to know some of the county prince's thoughts. ”

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this: "What can he have on his mind?" If he has any troubles in his heart, just tell me. There are few secrets between me and him. Maybe it's really because he wants to talk to me, but because of the rules and customs, it's not easy to come to the door, and I'm afraid that my father will complain, so he will hesitate outside the door, right? ”

Cuijiao agreed: "This must be the case!" The second aunt of our family, is wholeheartedly devoted to the second girl, and has a deep love, but I haven't seen him for a few days, so I can't think about it, so I have to come to look at the door of our house, and recall the situation when I got along with the girl in the past, so I barely repaid this lovesickness! ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but laugh at her: "Don't talk nonsense to me!" You're also about to get married, why don't you even see a little bit of stability, and you only play silly in front of people?! ”

Cuijiao didn't care about her girl's new evaluation at all: "The girl is ashamed, and she deliberately squeezed me with words!" I'm the most relieved, and I've been in good spirits for happy events recently, so I won't care what the girl says! ”

Xiangtao lifted the bamboo curtain and entered the door, and couldn't help but say: "Cuijiao's skin is getting thicker and thicker now." Even if you become a bride earlier than the girl, and marry your long-loved sweetheart, you are very happy in your heart, so you should be reserved in front of others, don't let the mother-in-law outside and the little girls below see the jokes. ”

Cuijiao glanced at her: "What am I afraid of them laughing at?" It's too late for them to envy me! After speaking, he stepped forward to look at the small burden in Xiangtao's hand, "This is the makeup you are going to give me?" What's in it? ”

Xiang Tao put the small burden on the round table and opened it, and there were several delicate embroidery pieces and a palm-sized purse: "This is the needlework I did, not very good, but I have done my best, don't dislike it." Then he opened the purse, and inside was a pair of silver bracelets, a pair of silver hairpins and a pair of silver earrings, which were very delicate, and on them was the pattern of the eight treasure flowers of Ruyi, "This is the new jewelry I plan to add makeup to you." Don't look shabby, I'm also looking for the best silver building in the city, and there is a shop mark on it. You will wear it to be a guest in the future, and it will be decent enough. ”

Cuijiao naturally won't dislike it, and she was very surprised: "Ah! Good sister, you are really generous! They gave me a set of silver-headed noodles! "Happily put away the purse," plus the two sets of head noodles rewarded by the girl, as well as the wife's reward, the eldest aunt and grandmother rewarded before leaving Beiping, and the four girls and two aunts rewarded, I can make up four or five sets of head noodles!" My mother finally put together a complete set of silver gilt heads for me, and I was worried that if my dowry was not rich enough, it would be looked down upon by the people of the palace. Now that there are so many good things, what else do I have to fear?! ”

Xiang Tao said angrily: "That is, you are unlucky, but you have to hold the wedding after the Gu family enters the county palace on an errand, otherwise you will become a husband and wife with your eldest brother Gu early, and then go to the palace together, who are afraid that who will look down on your dowry?!" But don't worry, with these jewelry, the girl also bought you a lot of clothes and family friends, and there is a special box of silver rewarded by the wife, even the young lady of the six or seven official families outside, there may not be such a rich dowry, who dares to look down on you?! I'm afraid that the grandmothers and stewards in the Yanwang Mansion will not be able to afford such a rich dowry if they marry their daughters! ”

Cuijiao was happy to hear this, and after putting away the things, she solemnly gave Xie Mulin a big salute: "This is because the girl loves me, and the wife, the eldest aunt, the fourth girl and the aunts are all looking at the girl's face, so they are so generous to add makeup to me." I am grateful to the girl in my heart, and I will remember the kindness of the girl for the rest of my life! Don't worry, girl, although I am going to marry Brother Gu, I will work with my mother-in-law and husband to do things for the prince of the county in the future. But I remember that the girl is my master, and I will definitely do my best to do what the girl tells me in the future, and everyone else will be behind! ”

Xie Mulin listened amusedly: "It doesn't have to be like this. You and Gu Dongshan want to be harmonious with husband and wife in the future, and if you have a lot of discussion, you can contribute to Brother Rui and me together. You don't have to remember who your master is, lest you accidentally show your mouth in front of your mother-in-law or Gu Dongshan, so that they will complain in their hearts. ”

Cuijiao smiled and responded.

Xiang Tao sighed beside her: "Why is my sister's wedding date so urgent?" I already knew that you were married to the ancient steward, but either you married early, and when the girl entered the palace, someone would be able to wait in front of you; Either you wait until the girl enters the door, and then marry the ancient steward, and then you will all be under the prince of the county, and it will be even more joyful to make a couple. But you are scheduled to be a few days before the girl's wedding...... Don't you think it's too hasty?! ”

Cuijiao said a little embarrassedly: "I originally planned to do it last month, but the prince of the county has been busy, and the aunt has some slight illness on her side, so the ancient lady said, the marriage of the elder brother Gu, no matter what, it is indispensable to have the witness of these two masters, so it is better to push it until the aunt is well and the prince of the county has returned to the city, and he can be idle before the ceremony." Although it is a bit rushed, this once-in-a-lifetime event must be completed. Originally, Brother Gu also proposed that if it was done later, the wedding between the prince and the girl would be completed first. But if I followed the girl into the palace as a dowry girl, and then got married, wouldn't there be one less girl around the girl? The three of them are too untidy. If you bring five from the beginning, it will be even more untidy...... My father and mother both felt that it was okay to be hasty, and it was ...... not to let others see the girl's jokes."

It's a good idea to think about it this way.

Xie Mulin couldn't help but sigh: "Your father and mother are so careful and thoughtful, they just wronged you." ”
