396 On the eve of marriage
Keko's dowry was much, very much, very, very much.
One by one, the dowry was carried from Ke Mansion to Lin Mansion, and this side had already entered the gate of Lin Mansion, and that side had not yet been fully lifted out of Ke Mansion.
The dowry on the surface is one hundred and eighty units, because she is still the county lord of the imperial court Yudie, and every move must abide by the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, so the amount of the dowry is fixed. But in private, these 180 units are tightly stuffed, even if they are divided into 250 or 60 units, it is not a problem.
Jin Niang went over to see it with her own eyes, and the jewelry box was all stuffed to the brim; The gold, silver, and jade were also stacked on top of each other; The title deeds of the shopkeepers were filled with a large box; The silver at the bottom of the box and the tiles representing the acres of land took two large boxes to fill them.
Jin Niang's dowry is not unsurprised, and she can't help but sigh, no wonder people say that marrying a daughter-in-law can save 20 years of struggle. This is more than 20 years, if you don't look at the career, just look at food, clothing and wealth, it is a lifetime of less struggle.
Not only will you win by lying down in this life, but future generations will not have to worry about money. That's a ...... No wonder you have to marry a rich daughter-in-law, because it's a good deal!
The Lin family who came to see the dowry were all dumbfounded, and they were shocked to open their mouths, and they couldn't speak fluently. It was Father Lin and Aunt Shen, although they had long known that according to the posture of the fifth princess and Lord Ke to favor their daughter, Ke Ke's dowry was indispensable, but to this point, Aunt Shen's originally upright waist bent down in an instant.
She originally thought that the family had given Qing'er 10,000 taels of silver, three shops, and two houses, and this dowry was very passable, but compared with Ke Ke's dowry, she got it, and she was afraid that their reputation of Qing'er climbing the dragon and the phoenix would be confirmed.
Seeing that Aunt Shen was worried, Jin Niang saw through her thoughts at a glance, and then explained Aunt Shen and said, "Ke Ke is a good child, with a good temperament and a gentle personality, and you are a kind mother-in-law, so you two will be compatible with each other in the future." Maybe, Xuanxuan will lose your temper at that time, and even me and Xuanxuan will be forgotten by you. ”
Aunt Shen was ridiculed by Jinniang to forget her earlier worries, and quickly promised Jinniang with a smiling face, "No, no, you and Xuanxuan will always be my mother's favorite daughter." ”
At this time, Xu Chong was carrying Qing'er's shoulder, and said in a weird manner, "Oh, it's amazing, this daughter-in-law has made a fortune all of a sudden, this is really a good opportunity to change the court." ”
Qing'er walked away from him unhurriedly, and by the way, she flicked the shoulder that he had carried, as if there was some dust on it, "That can't be helped, who makes Ke Ke well-behaved and caring, kind and clever, she pleases her parents, this is all her ability." I, I don't have much ambition, and it's good to have food and drink next to my insiders in this life. ”
Xu Chong: My hands are itchy, and I want to beat people.
said that eating soft rice is so elegant, Lin Jinqing's face has really grown in the past two years.
Xu Chong's eyes whitened, and he felt that he was really underestimating him. I used to think that the literati were elegant and gentle, and when they met these military ruffians, it was purely a show to meet the soldiers, which was unreasonable, but after looking at Lin Jinqing today, hehe, the literati are so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, what about the decent demeanor of his literati? Eaten by a dog?
The two looked at each other and were more distant from each other.
Xu Chong didn't want to continue to come to the Lin Mansion, but as an in-law, when his brother was not in Beijing, he stepped forward to help save face. In the past two days, Chang'an Changping has also come back from Ounuo Academy, so let's go together, and he can do less with two more strong men.
Lin Fu spent the first two days of the wedding, and soon it was time to get to the right day.
The night before, Jin Niang lived directly in the Lin Mansion, and all the children she brought with her stayed.
Before dawn, she heard the voices of people running around in the courtyard and asked Qingmiao, "What time is it?" ”
Qingmiao replied, "Mrs. Yinshichu." ”
At the beginning of the year, it was only three o'clock in modern time, so early and so big? Didn't the woman just get up so early in the morning to clean up? It turns out that the man's family is also so busy?
Jin Niang rubbed her swollen and painful temples, feeling that she couldn't stand the headache.
In the past two days, she has received too many people, and she has been talking almost all day, her mouth is dry, and her face is stiff with a smile. Jin Niang swears that she has never been so sad.
But who is she not on?
My aunt couldn't rely on her fingers at all, she had exhausted her efforts to entertain several aunts and aunts who came from Pingyang, and she really couldn't cope with anything else.
Xuanxuan is too young, and Aunt Shen's ...... It's a nest. In front of her own family, Aunt Shen was very arrogant, and it could be seen that these officials in Beijing and their relatives would not even leave.
If Jin Niang comes again, I really don't worry about her entertaining those inner women, don't make good friends with them, and offend them again. This is completely done by Aunt Shen, so in order to prevent Qing'er from having such a bad thing before getting married, Jinniang really took it upon herself throughout the whole process.
The effect is very good, everyone is with Lele, the matter is handled perfectly, and the relationship is also closer. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, Jin Niang feels that she is floating when she walks, and she seems to be twenty pounds lighter.
Jin Niang's face was painful, Qingmiao and Qingsui couldn't bear it when they saw it, and persuaded her, "No, you can sleep for a while, anyway, there is still a lot of time before the guests come to the door." ”
"If you don't sleep, your father and aunt must be up too. I'll talk to them and see if there's anything missing. "If there is an emergency, she has to come forward to solve it. Anyway, this is the last day, as long as the new daughter-in-law enters the house, there will be nothing to do with her.
After that, Ke Ke was in the house, and Jin Niang completely let go. Therefore, she is also busy with this matter for her mother's family, so she naturally has to be more dedicated.
The self-comforting Jin Niang obviously didn't expect that what if Ke Ke gave birth to a child after washing the three, full moon, and first birthday banquet? Ke Ke doesn't come forward, who can handle it in the family? In the end, it didn't have to fall on her.
And what about Xuanxuan's relatives?
At that time, Ke Ke will be a little daughter-in-law who has nothing to do, and she can't cope with this kind of big scene, so she has to be in charge of Jinniang.
Therefore, there will be more opportunities for Jin Niang to be needed in this house in the future. Jin Niang is not unexpected, but now don't people comfort themselves?
Anyway, the effect of self-soothing is great, and Jin Niang quickly went out in good spirits and went to the courtyard of Father Lin and Aunt Shen.
When it was dawn, the guests came one after another. The first to arrive was naturally the family that had a close relationship with the Lin Mansion. Of course, there are also many Qing'er's colleagues, as well as officials in the Xu Mansion who have a close relationship with Xu Erlang.
Among these people, two friends of Father Lin came over early with their families, and Xu's father and Xu's mother also arrived later. And Pianpin, she also came over early. However, Pian Pian came alone today, and Li Hehui took his son to Kefu.
After all, Ke Ke is the county lord of the royal family and Li Hehui's cousin, and their relationship is more close. Therefore, in order to take care of the relationship between the two sides, the husband and wife act separately. However, later on, Li Hehui will be the marrying person of his mother's family and send Ke Ke to Lin Mansion, which is something that the Ke family has long discussed with Li Hehui.
Jin Niang glanced behind Pian Pian twice, but she really didn't see Brother Qi, and she was a little regretful, "What about the child?" ”
"Grandmother watched it for us." The old lady of Zhuangjun Wang felt like she loved this great-grandson's heart, liver and liver, and she couldn't eat in a panic when she couldn't see it for a day. Now Li Hehui has completely fallen out of favor in front of the old man, and the old man is now full of great-grandchildren. As soon as there is a chance, they will be brought to play with them, which is not yesterday on the pretext that their husband and wife are busy today, I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of the child, and then let the child be frightened or hit by someone, and directly take the child away.
Pian Pian couldn't cry or laugh at this, "Grandmother just loves Brother Qi too much, and she spoils him like a little girl." ”
"Don't worry, with my brother-in-law watching, the child will not grow crooked."
Speaking of this, Pianpian hesitated, that is not necessarily, after all, the matter of their going to Yunzhou has been decided, and as soon as Qing'er and Ke Ke's family affair is over, they are ready to leave. The grandmother loves her grandson, and also hinted that they want them to go to Yunzhou to have another one, as for Brother Qi, he stays at home and he helps take care of it.
As soon as Pian Pian said this, Jin Niang said, "Qing'er has become a relative, and you will leave?" ”
"Not really. It was supposed to leave half a month ago. This husband thinks that Qing'er and Ke Ke are married, we are close to both sides, and it will not look good if we don't come forward at that time, so I begged to go to His Majesty and let him be happy for a while, which will be delayed until the day after tomorrow. ”
Jin Niang nodded, "It's okay to be a foreign officer." Anyway, sooner or later, you have to go to see the world outside, and you can go early or late. ”
"It's just Brother Qi'er......" Speaking of Brother Qi, Pian Pian frowned, a little worried. What is the difference between leaving the child and ripping her flesh, but the grandmother also said that the child is still young, and if she is in such a hurry, a little wind and cold on the road may kill the child. And what if the child doesn't adapt to the climate of Yunju?
Pian Pian also admitted that what the old man said was reasonable, but if she left Brother Qi behind, she really didn't dare to think of this possibility.
Jin Niang patted her hand to reassure, "Don't worry, Xu is the old lady just said it so casually?" The elderly are reasonable people, and they will not be unaware of the truth that children grow up in front of their parents and have a more intimate relationship. My brother-in-law lived with her in Changping's hometown all the year round because he couldn't see his parents, and in the end he and his parents were not close, and you split up immediately after marriage. After this incident, the old lady is determined to be on this border guard. Don't worry, when the old lady turns that corner, even if you don't want to take Brother Qi away, her old man will not agree. ”
When Pian Pian heard Jin Niang's words, she felt very reasonable. Grandmother is really that kind of person. Among her many grandchildren, she loves her husband alone, isn't it because he has no parents and is not close to his family? She felt sorry for her husband and felt that he had suffered a lot of grievances in this since he was a child, so how could she allow the same regret to happen to Qi Ge'er? No, it's impossible, the old man will definitely let them take Brother Qi with them.
Thinking of this, Pian Pian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's all my fault that my brain messed up when I heard my grandmother's words, but fortunately, my sister-in-law woke me up." Otherwise, if you have an unpleasant quarrel with your grandmother because of this matter, your husband and wife will be embarrassed, and you will hurt the feelings of the husband and wife, it will not be very beautiful.
Jin Niang nodded her fingers, "Is your mind clear now?" ”
Pian Pian giggled, "Clear, clear, my mind is bright now." ”
While the two sisters were talking, Aunt Shen saw Pianpian and greeted Pianpian in surprise, "You girl, haven't you been here for a long time?" ”
On the day that Xu's father and Xu's mother came to the door, Pian Pian brought Li Hehui and Brother Qi over together. After that, because she was busy packing up the salutes to be brought to Yunzhou, and she was not feeling well when she was a child, she never came to the door again.
But it's hard to say.
Pian Pian smiled and said, "I don't know that you are so busy here all day that your feet don't touch the ground, I don't dare to come over to annoy you, otherwise it will delay you to do things, you kick me out, where can I put my face?" ”
Aunt Shen immediately laughed at her, "You girl, bury all the people." In the future, you just have to come to the door, and your aunt will treat you as a distinguished guest. You don't know me yet, it's something that can't be done in your hands, and Qing'er's marriage is basically handled by your sister-in-law. Jin Niang is capable, and she replaced me, and I am idle every day. ”
The daughters of the two friends of Father Lin in the house smiled and said, "That's your good fortune to have a capable daughter." ”
Don't you have what it takes? From the third grade of the Lady of the Command, they can't even stammer.
The two ladies were even more envious when they saw this Aunt Shen. This is also a lucky one, even if it is to fill the house, but the children of the original partner are close to her. Although she is called "aunt", she is so kind to her, and she is not worse than her mother.
Besides, the child is still so promising, and this person will be blessed in the future.
Man, this life is indeed incomprehensible.
Don't look at the ups and downs in the first half of your life, but maybe as soon as you turn the corner, you will soar and become rich.
There are more and more guests, and the Lin Mansion is becoming more and more lively.
The people who came and went were all dressed in wealth and wealth, smiling faces, and with the festive costumes of the house, the festive atmosphere came to their faces.
These guests are going to have a lunch in the house - it stands to reason that the wedding is at dusk, just that banquet, but these close people come early, and they can't make people hungry, so they have to add a meal in the middle, that is, a serious lunch.
The meal was not very rich, but very sincere. Not only is it elegant, but it is also delicious and fills everyone's stomach.
When Jin Niang was eating, she searched around for a few small ones in the house, but unfortunately she couldn't find them after looking around.
Seeing this, Pian Pian said, "Sister-in-law, are you looking for Changle?" I saw that Xuanxuan deliberately set up a table in the Little Flower Hall, and the sisters should have been arranged there. ”
Jin Niang only cared about entertaining people just now, and she really didn't notice it. But arrange it where it is, she thinks that Xuanxuan is quite measured, she sees that there are almost no little girls of the same age as Changle in this dining place, and she thinks that they are all over there. It's okay to be thoughtful, and even if some ladies are unhappy in their hearts, there is nothing to blame.
