Chapter 369: Marriage II
At the same time, the dowry of the Xu family was carried out. The Xu family placed sixty-four lifts, each of which was particularly fruitful, and also particularly high-end and gorgeous. It cost 12,000 taels of silver to buy things and press the box of silver, plus two particularly profitable teahouses, 500 taels and a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, adding up to more than 30,000 taels of silver.
The guests and the neighbors who watched the excitement outside the door praised that such a big gesture was rare for high-ranking officials and big businessmen.
Xu Dashi had already told Mrs. Xu last night that Xu Lanyin's dowry was earned by herself and the Qin family used her dowry to buy it, and the Xu family didn't spend a penny, and others couldn't care about it......
Even if the old lady was mentally prepared, she still trembled when she saw so much dowry. Secretly glad again, fortunately, the shallow-eyed old man didn't come, he would definitely say that what Xu Lanyin earned in the Xu family belonged to the Xu family. Either he was angry on the spot, or he made a fuss, and the relationship with the second room would be even worse. Think about it and think about it, if you can't do it because the girl can't do it and doesn't earn her own dowry, not to mention that the Xu family can't open a dim sum shop and a grain shop, the Xu family has to pour out money to buy a dowry for her, so the Xu family still earns it......
Hu Yi brought the mirror, and Xu Lan was very disgusted when she saw this colorful and weird bridal makeup. Pouted and said, "It's still good to wear makeup." ”
Chai Jingjing's "invented" makeup has long been spread to all parts of the Daimyo Dynasty, except for some old-fashioned old women, the vast majority of women, especially young women, like to wear this makeup.
Only Qin Hongyu, Min Nan, and Hu Yi were left in the house to accompany Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin said to Hu Yi, "Bring me the mirror." ”
Qin Hongyu said with a smile, "Bridal makeup is like this. ”
The three girls took turns to eat at the banquet, and Xu Lan had to endure it because she was hungry.
Hu Yi chuckled, "Sister Xu's mouth was already small, but her mouth turned up and it became even smaller. ”
The girls laughed.
The wedding procession still had to walk around the street, and when the gongs and drums came again, the bride hurriedly came over and put a red hijab on Xu Lanyin's head.
The Qin family and Mrs. Xu were already sitting in the main seat of the West Wing Hall.
Due to the proximity of the two families, the bride will have to be picked up later, so that the ceremony can be held in the evening. Around the time of Shen, the sound of gongs and drums and silk and bamboo came from the Zhao family, which was the groom going out to greet him.
Xu Lanyin, who had been sitting on the bed for most of the day, finally had her spirit again.
Zhao Wu, who was dressed in red and wearing a big red flower, first kowtowed to Qin and Mrs. Xu, calling them "mother-in-law" and "grandmother", and the two gave a lipstick envelope. Of course, the red envelope given by Mrs. Xu was given to her by the Qin family in advance.
Since the Xu family went to Zhao's house to set up a bed, the Qin family asked Zhao Wucheng not to come over again. After three days, Zhao Wu felt as if it had been three years. Coming to Xu Lanyin again, she became his bride.
With the firecrackers of the Xu family, the welcoming team entered the Xu family.
Accompanying Zhao Wulai to pick up relatives were Minhu and Hong Zhen. Min Hu is a member of the third grade, one of the second-in-command in Hebei Province, he gave Zhao Wu as the best man, others did not understand, Zhao Wu felt more pressure, and politely declined once. But Minhu insisted, so he had to let him.
Zhao Wu changed his words again, "Lady, I'm here to pick you up." ”
It made everyone laugh.
Zhao Wu said emotionally, "Sister, I'm here to pick you up." ”
The person on the side laughed, "The groom is not right, he wants to call the lady." ”
Xu Lanyin was helped down by the Quanfu people of the Zhao family, and Zhao Wuyong pulled her with red silk, straddled the saddle, and entered the main hall. Zhao Wu had no parents, so he bowed three times to the empty chair on the upper seat, then to heaven and earth, and to the husband and wife, and sent them to the cave room.
The Zhao family did not have as many guests as the Xu family, but the lively women and children still crowded the cave room. Under the guidance of the Quanfu people, they completed the rituals such as sitting on the blessing, lifting the hijab, spreading the tent, drinking the wine, and eating the dumplings of the descendants.
The two newcomers kowtowed to the Qin family and Mrs. Xu, and Xu Lan was put on a sedan chair by Xu Dashi.
Blowing and blowing, the greeting team and the sedan chair went around again and entered Zhao's house.
Finally, when the guests had gone to the banquet, Xu Lanyin asked Zhangqi to take off the gold crown and jewelry on her head and go to the clean room to bathe.
When repairing the house, Xu Lanyin's requirements for clean houses were higher than those in other places, and she also specially repaired the drainage channel. Remove the cork under the tub and the bath water will drain automatically.
Zhao Wu's joy was beyond words, he kept grinning, and he didn't care about being teased.
Lifting the hijab, everyone praised the bride's beauty again, and Zhao Wule was even more brilliant.
Baoqi smiled, "This is sent by Xiaozhuzi." said that the second master let the eldest girl ...... Oh, let the second grandmother pad first, don't be hungry. ”
Xu Lanyin was so hungry that she sat down and ate a round belly, and a few girls couldn't stop her.
I didn't wash my hair, and after bathing, I put on a garnet red soft satin embroidered gown. In the mirror, he scattered his hair, pulled a roll on the top of his head at random, and inserted the Yanshang hairpin sent by Zhao Wu obliquely. With a simple bun and a simple face, this beautiful and luxurious golden hairpin still sets off her as bright as spring, graceful and luxurious.
There are already a few dishes on the kang table in the side room, a small pot of chicken soup, and a bowl of rice.
Her eyes glanced to the right side of the shelf bed again, and there was a jar of her gold and silver jewelry under it, which she and Zhao Wu had put in the night before the "bed".
The noise in the front yard gradually subsided, and Zhao Wu, who was a little stumbling, came back.
After eating, Xu Lanyin had the heart to visit a circle of houses.
The familiar room with familiar furniture still makes her happy and new. This is her and Zhao Wu's home.
Zhao Wu took Xu Lanyin into his arms and said softly, "It's not easy at all. With you, this house can be called home, and it feels good to have a home. ”
Xu Lanyin hugged his waist tighter and said emotionally, "Well, we are a family and will be together forever." ”
He came over and took Xu Lanyin's hand, and the affection in his eyes was like honey that couldn't be dissolved. smiled, "Sister, I finally married you home." ”
Xu Lanyin smiled, "Where is 'finally', it's easy." ”
The two girls who had been guarding the house before had run out of the bedroom in fright. Zhangqi held a bowl outside the door and said, "Second master, second grandmother, the sobering soup is here." ”
Zhao let go of his hand, drank the decanting soup, and went to the clean room to bathe.
Zhao Wu stretched out his hand and touched the swallow's wings, his eyes became a little gloomy, and said, "It's a pity that my mother didn't see me marrying a daughter-in-law, and she is still such a good daughter-in-law." ”
Xu Lanyin comforted, "Mother-in-law is a good person, she will definitely go to heaven." In heaven, she will see. Another day, we went to the temple to offer incense to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
A few girls also had to serve Xu Lanyin to strip, Xu Lanyin said, "I'll come by myself, you guys go and rest." ”
She saw that Zhang Qi had laid a piece of white silk on the bed before leaving.
Zhangqi blushed and said, "It was Mrs. Hong who asked the slave to shop." ”
There are no women in this family, and many things that women have to worry about, and the Qin family is not easy to do, are all handled by the Hu family.
