Chapter 1, Section 2 Meilian's mother's family prepares a dowry with a high standard
The date is set, what Meilian didn't expect was that she would have to marry at the end of the month, and it was less than half a month away from now, so she didn't prepare for anything?
"What do you want to prepare? You will be beautiful and bright in the sedan chair, and you will be ready to marry it! Aunt Wang saw that Meilian and her mother were hesitant, afraid that jade would not be a good thing, so she hurriedly mended the knife and said what she should say word for word, so as not to have extraneous branches, long nights and dreams, and the money in hand was wasted!
"Aunt Wang, I thought it was going to be winter, but now that I got married so soon, the family really didn't have anything ready, I'm afraid it's really too rushed."
Meilian felt that her mother was right, and looked at Aunt Wang with stunned eyes.
"Don't hurry, don't hurry, people are in the army as big officials, there is no time, and the whole time to go home to visit relatives is less than a month, no, people are still very reasonable, and they left you two for half a month, isn't it? Listen to my advice, hurry up and get things done, such a man with good conditions can't find it with a lantern, and there will be no such shop in this village after that, right? ”
"If that's the case, then it's okay, just do as you say, and our family will simply prepare." Meilian's mother looked at the matchmaker and then at Meilian, and readily agreed!
Meilian blushed, knowing that she was no longer a daughter who could not be kept in this family.
Sending off the matchmaker, Meilian returned to her boudoir and did not come out, her girlish heart kept excited, she went to the cabinet and quickly found one of her makeup boxes, in that, she collected a photo of the man she was about to marry that the matchmaker brought over last time, she often took it out whenever she was free, and said what she felt to the person she relied on in the future.
In the photo, the young soldier has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, with a Chinese face, good facial features, dignified appearance, bright eyes, tall and big nose, and a full manly image, coupled with a powerful and domineering military uniform, he really wants to be an official and have a good look, and Aunt Wang's words that are difficult to find with a lantern are not without basis, Meilian is very happy in her heart, and feels that God is favoring her, such a good man has allowed herself to meet a blessing from her previous life! Since you are about to get married, you have to be ready to get married.
Sent away the matchmaker, my mother has been busy all day and night, Meilian knows that her mother is worried about herself, so she is very well-behaved and sensible to help her mother busy, today accompanied her father to the market to buy wood and furniture, and helped her mother choose cloth to make quilt covers on cloudy days, and she was busy inviting the master who played cotton into the house to make quilts, and invited the embroidery girl into the house to embroider quilts, good guys, in just ten days or so, she saw her parents send the bride price from the man's family, and she also pasted more than double the ticket to help her buy a dowry, She often heard the people in the town say that giving birth to a daughter is a money-losing business, and now she is married to Yinbai, her father worked hard to raise her so big, and now she has to send a decent dowry when she gets married, for fear that her daughter will be looked down upon by her in-laws if she marries nothing, and the so-called parents in the world are like this!
Meilian felt grateful for the kindness of her parents, and felt that although she was born as a daughter, she would be like a son in the future, and no matter what the situation was in the future, she would have to honor her parents and repay them for their nurturing kindness.
The day of Meilian's marriage is getting closer and closer, and all the preparations in the family are being completed in an orderly manner.
"We are married in a big family, the most important thing is face, we can't treat my baby daughter badly, it doesn't matter if you work hard and tired, the important thing is that the number of etiquette must arrive, you can't let others point fingers, and you can't let my daughter marry in the past and be angry, I want to see my baby daughter live a better life than at home, I will feel at ease!" Meilian's mother said so, and her father nodded directly beside her!
