Chapter 751: Shi Nian's Marriage (1)
White Mansion.
At this time, it was already close to August, and the marriage of the Baiguo Mansion and the Hou Mansion was getting closer and closer.
This marriage is undoubtedly the most grand and brilliant, on the one hand, the young and promising descendants of the Hou Mansion, and on the other hand, the favored concubines of the Bai Guo Mansion, the dowry and dowry are all first-class.
On that day, Shi Nian came to give the dowry, and he had already piled up a few small courtyards with big boxes, and now the dowry prepared by the Bai Guogong Mansion for Bai Yueyi is only a lot more.
"Three hundred and fifty Suzhou brocade silks, ten pairs of ice jade hairpin rings, three pairs of red agate earrings, and five pairs of green jade hairpinsββ"
The mother-in-law read the contents of the dowry list, Bai nodded with satisfaction, and when the mother-in-law finished reading, she always felt that something was missing, frowning and said, "Hey, you can help me think about what else can be added?" β
"Mother, so many things are really enough," Bai Yueyi sighed in her heart and said softly, "You have added all the dowry gifts sent by the Hou Mansion, and you have added so many things online...... There is a big box of deed paper on the real estate shop, and there is really no need for more. β
"That is, people know that you are sending your daughter to marry as a dowry, and those who don't know think that you are going to move your family to their Hou Mansion!" With a helpless smile on his face, Grandpa Bai took the prepared dowry list from his mother-in-law and looked at it, and sighed again and again.
"You know what! The new daughter-in-law marries into her mother-in-law's house, which is unfamiliar with life, and it is the most difficult," Bai glared at Bai Guo's grandfather viciously, and snatched the dowry list, "Wasn't it also cautious when I got married?" Yi'er is a big girl with yellow flowers, and her parents-in-law are still there, and there are two pairs of in-laws, and there are many places where you need to pay some money when you marry into the Hou Mansion, I will prepare some more dowries, and we will not be bullied by the Hou Mansion when we are in the middle. β
The father and daughter glanced at each other, and each shrugged their shoulders, they had always been unable to talk about the Bai family.
In fact, Bai's worries are not unreasonable, she suffered a lot when she married into the Guogong Mansion, mainly because at that time, Bai Guogong had to go out to run errands every day, and the old lady was still alive, so she was determined to ask the new daughter-in-law to experience all the hardships she had suffered back then.
Later, after she gained a firm foothold, she naturally relaxed a lot of life, but when she talked about her daughter getting married, she would still be worried.
When the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion got married, she also worked so desperately, and now that the little girl is married, the Bai family will only be more relieved.
Grandpa Bai Guo got up and walked over to snatch the dowry list, and hurriedly patted Bai's shoulders with both hands and asked her not to look at the list anymore, and said: "The Hou Mansion is a Qingliu family and a scholarly family for several generations, and besides, the eldest brother is a scholar, can he still treat your daughter badly?" β
Bai Yueyi on the side nodded secretly, a hint of happiness flashed on her face.
"Besides, there is no division in the Hou Mansion, the main mother is only Shi Xiang and her wife, and the second room is said to be the father-in-law and mother-in-law, but there is no gimmick to make things difficult for us Yi'er, and she still has the support of the Guogong Mansion behind her! I don't believe that the Hou Mansion dares to run to the top of the Guogong Mansion and sprinkle it. β
In fact, Grandpa Bai Guo hasn't said a little: the lord of the second room doesn't have much sense of existence on weekdays, and he generally doesn't talk much, and the second lady is a philistine, and her children can marry the daughter of their Guogong Mansion, she will be so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut, as long as Bai Yueyi doesn't have any major problems, she won't have trouble with her.
The Hou Mansion has always been the most preferred marriage partner of the Baiguo Mansion. Now it is not easy to find someone in the capital who has a good family background and has real talent and learning, that Shi Nian went to the first class at a young age, and there is no other peach blossom debt, the Baiguo Mansion is naturally willing.
In fact, the most important thing is Bai Yueyi's own willingness. Although the marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of her parents, if she doesn't nod herself, no one will think about forcing her.
When she saw Shi Nian, she felt that this person was personable, but fortunately, Shi Nian finally didn't find fault when she saw her, so that the marriage between the two families was completed at one shot, and there were almost no twists and turns.
The Hou Mansion has also been working on the family affairs of the Baiguo Mansion because of the decision, and the two families have said that they will do a big job, so they naturally have to start preparing early.
The couple on the side of the Baiguo Mansion went to the temple early to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and also offered thousands of incense money, just to ask their daughter and future husband to have a happy marriage and give birth to a noble son early. And the Hou Mansion is not idle, from the six ceremonies to the banquets and arrangements of the guests, all kinds of adjustments are constantly being made, just to make the Baiguo Mansion satisfied.
After all, the lord's family is still different from the ordinary official family, after the imperial examination system is perfected, the official position cannot be inherited by the master, but the position of the lord can be passed down from generation to generation. It's rare to be able to marry such a person, who dares to have the slightest slackness?
After listening to Zheng's mother talk about the affairs of the Hou Mansion during these days, Shi Qingqian sent someone to the palace to talk to Shen Shu, and then took Yao'er to the Hou Mansion to watch the excitement.
Shi Nian is going to get married and still refuses to take leave for a day, and the eldest lady has no choice but to let him go. Fortunately, Shi Nian still has biological parents at home, and the second lady helped the eldest lady to arrange the marriage together, and the eldest lady will not be tired and tight.
"Hey, hey, put all the wine away! This is all to be eaten at the wedding banquet of the intermediary! The second lady was busy in the courtyard and sweating, but she still couldn't stop directing everything to get ready.
She can be regarded as having something to do, and she is happy to live day by day at this time.
The eldest lady stood in front of the door with Yao'er in her arms and watched the people in the yard come and go, while holding Yao'er's little finger and pointing at the people in the yard: "Oh oh oh - Yao'er looks at everyone, so many people-"
Yao'er laughed heartlessly in the arms of the eldest lady, causing the people passing by to smile on their faces.
"Mother, this second lady is really attentive, I haven't seen her sit down and rest for a while since I've been here for so long." Shi Qingqian also leaned against the door frame and said with a smile, in the end, his own son is married, that is, he is closer than the next one.
"If she wants to be busy, she will be busy, how can a mother not want to take care of her own children's family affairs? I just happen to be able to relax a little more, isn't it? β
The eldest lady ignored Yao'er for three rounds when she was talking, and she hated to keep him by her side.
"However, the eldest brother's lifelong event can be regarded as decided, and you don't have to worry so much about it in the future," Shi Qingqian helped Yao'er straighten the clothes on her body, "It's that my brother's marriage hasn't been decided yet, but it's not very urgent." β
"Hmph, I don't dare to urge that stinky boy."
