Chapter 322: A belated apology
The marriage of the Yang family was very lively, although many high-status officials only sent representatives from the family, and the number of guests was enough to support the scene.
And the dowry of the dozens of Baicao was even talked about by the people, and the people who came to watch the ceremony were even more smacked.
In the past two years, everyone in the capital has married beautifully, but none of them have reached such a standard, and whoever marries again in the future must also weigh it in this regard, lest even a peasant girl be incomparable, it will be a shame to lose a fortune.
However, the clansmen of the Yang family, as well as the relatives of Mrs. Yang, all started a small abacus.
This kind of dowry is really eye-catching, and when the newlyweds served tea on the second day, there were so many people in the hall that they couldn't sit down, and those who stood were a little crowded.
"Grandmother, please have tea." Kneeling on the puff mat, Bai Cao respectfully raised the tea cup, and his face was flushed with shyness.
Bai Cao wore a red skirt, a faint grease powder on her face, a complete set of white jade jewelry on her head, and a silver jewelry with purple pearls on her forehead, which was atmospheric and delicate.
The demeanor is full of the gentleness of a famous lady, and the voice is also soft and comfortable, and Mrs. Yang secretly gives her granddaughter-in-law extra points in her heart.
But everyone else was staring at Bai Ling's jewelry and dress.
A thousand taels of silver for a horse of flowing moon yarn, even if there is silver, it may not be able to be bought, and that set of jade ornaments is worth a thousand gold.
It is the purple pearl in front of the white grass's forehead, which is a rare thing, especially the full and round purple pearl, a necklace that can be worth a string of high-quality pearls, not to mention a thousand taels.
"Good boy, our family has a simple population, you only need to serve Haoyang'er in the future, and open up branches and leaves for him as soon as possible, grandmother doesn't need you to settle down in the morning and dusk. Hurry up, the provincial Yang'er is distressed. ”
Old Madam Yang did not fully accept Baicao in her heart, but with outsiders, she still had to give enough face.
Especially the covetous eyes of those people, Mrs. Yang didn't like it very much, and she excluded everyone in one sentence.
After receiving the greeting gift from Mrs. Yang, and getting up with Yang Fan's support, Bai Cao turned around and saluted to both sides of the hall.
On the way over, Yang Fan had already given Bai Cao a brief explanation of the temperament of these relatives, except for some face, it was best to beat them back with soft nails, otherwise they would have to be bullied by them for a lifetime.
Bai Ling has been brainwashing Bai Cao all the way, and there will be hints from the old lady that Bai Cao is not afraid.
"The bride grass greets the elders." Bai Cao smiled softly and beckoned the girl, "This is a meeting gift prepared by Cao'er for a few juniors, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"What my cousin said is not right, our younger brothers and sisters should also get a meeting gift. My cousin doesn't know these etiquettes, but I, as a younger sister, can't help but remind me. A young woman chuckled.
"Brother and sister mean, even if you are both married, should I give a meeting gift?" Bai Cao asked ignorantly.
"That's nature." The young woman answered as she should, but many people wanted to rush over and cover her mouth.
"Although the rules are different from those we have, we should follow the local customs."
Bai Cao looked clear, and said embarrassedly:
"In that case, let's follow the age. Cao'er was cheeky and accepted the meeting gifts from the sisters-in-law and sisters first, and I also prepared them for my younger siblings and sisters, so that I would not delay my efforts. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Yang Fan's mouth were raised, and Mrs. Yang was also very satisfied, this granddaughter-in-law is not easy to handle.
As for those who were originally trying to take advantage, they hated to tear the young women apart and embarrassed them!
"My brother and sister are joking with you, they are all married, and everyone is equal, so there will be a lot of exchanges in the future, so there is no need to pay attention to these false courtesies."
"yes, my brother and sister were joking just now, there are no such rules in Beijing."
……
Almost all of the people in the hall were this voice, no matter how ugly the face was, they would not leave so easily when they came to the Yang family, and they had to find a way to pick things from the white grass again.
Let's say that in the box of Hongming Restaurant, the Bai Ling sisters are feasting.
The arrival of the Xiao family brothers and sisters and Ouyang Xun has attracted the attention of many guests, and this news will naturally spread far and wide, which is undoubtedly a kind of publicity for the restaurant.
But in the box, the original thank-you banquet has become an apology banquet.
"The previous misunderstanding, please forgive Ling'er. By the time I learned the news, you had already left the capital for many days, and although this apology was a little late, it was a sign of sincerity. ”
Ouyang Xun and Bai Ling have no business dealings, and the relationship between them is pure.
Looking at the brocade box in front of him, Bai Ling said helplessly: "Does Ouyang Gongzi have to poke my scars?" I forgot about it, but now I have to think about it again. ”
"It's not Zhiyuan, I'll punish myself with three cups." Ouyang Xun smiled kindly.
Determined to return to the top of the family, Ouyang Xun really doesn't have the heart of having children, and he also knows that a woman like Bai Ling will never be willing to bend to the backyard for a man, because he has always been very sensible.
Appreciation, but not admiration, like the feelings of a brother to his sister.
"Looks like I'm going to punish myself with three glasses too." Xiao Mu shook his head and pushed the brocade box in front of Bai Ling, "My mother has no malicious intentions, but my words hurt you, and I apologize here for my mother." ”
Thinking that since those rumors spread, Princess Han always had the opportunity to let Mrs. Xiao have a hard time, Xiao Mu felt bitter in his heart.
Princess Han had already decided that Bai Ling was a prospective daughter-in-law, but her mother, who gave birth to him, thought that Bai Ling was not even qualified to be a concubine.
Xiao Muqing looked at Bai Ling apologetically, but her hands under the table were clutching the handkerchief, and her joints were white.
"Don't talk about the past. Mrs. Xiao has something inappropriate, but I can't stand the grievances, I have already made it clear at the time, and I don't think there will be such a misunderstanding again. ”
Bai Ling's expression lightened a little, and he was obviously alienated from Xiao Mu.
Unlike Mrs. Ouyang, Mrs. Xiao's words were said by herself, and this kind of harm is naturally greater.
"I said that Ling'er is a generous person, but my brother is too nervous. We finally got together, so let's have a good meal and drink today and talk about some happy things. ”
Xiao Muqing's relieved opening, deliberately enlivening the atmosphere, made everyone uncomfortable.
A meal is eaten in each person's thoughts, and even the best dishes have no appetite.
Bai Wei's rare silence may be more suitable to say that she is nervous, but she also knows very well in her heart that the son of a family like Xiao Mu is really not something she can climb.
On the side of the Han Palace, Princess Han was busy counting the treasury, and she always felt that the preparation of the dowry was not perfect, so that the Han Wang, who looked at his daughter-in-law but had no time to speak, was depressed and wanted to express his taste.
"Lord Wang, the prince has sent a letter." When the housekeeper saw the aggrieved appearance of his master, he didn't dare to look up, for fear that he would laugh out loud.
