Chapter 274: Farewell
Hao Lingzhu held Ding Page's hand a little unhappily, although Ding Pagezi had promised her that on the day she got married, Hao Ling would inevitably go to the capital to send her to marry in person, but she still hoped that Ding Pagezi was also by her side.
"Sister-in-law, you really can't go?" Hao Lingzhu asked with a little hope.
Ding Yezi smiled helplessly: "Lingzhu, it's not that I don't want to go, and your little nephew doesn't promise me where to go, it's not good for me to send you to marry with a big belly, and then give birth halfway, right?" ”
Hao Lingzhu thought about it, she understood the reason, but she felt a little unwilling.
In the old lady's opinion, Hao's Mansion is at this time when Double Happiness is coming, and so many marriages are handled at once, if the time is right, you can say a few more good words to Master Hao, and let him release Hao Yu by the way. After all, the family is busy with marriages, how can Hao Yu be confined in the courtyard alone? It's like Isolating him alone, which is really a bit bad.
Of course, there is no rush in this matter, and we will talk about it later.
Ding Yezi was just busy helping Hao Lingzhu prepare the dowry and buy new clothes, and no longer thought about whether Gu Yun wanted to enter the door. Anyway, she and Hao Ling had already agreed before, and Gu Yun's affairs would be handled by himself.
If it is done well, then of course it is better to live well, if it is not done well, she will not agree!
In the blink of an eye, a month passed in a flash, Hao Lingzhu's dowry had already been prepared, and twenty-eight nanmu boxes dressed in red and glamorous wedding cloth were placed in Hao Lingzhu's courtyard in the north courtyard.
Hao Lingzhu is married from afar, and the second uncle Hao in the capital will at most make her look better in pomp and circumstance, and will not prepare extra dowry for her, all of which needs to be prepared by Hao Fu now. Zhuangzi shops and other things are all in Taihe County, even if they are divided with Hao Lingzhu, she can't take them away, so she simply folds them all into other things for her.
Clothes and bedding, gold and silver jewelry, antiques and jade, rare treasures, all prepared, this packing, is enough to pack out 28 large boxes.
Although the dowry is good, if the quality of the box is too poor, I am afraid that it will be laughed at. Hao Ling hurriedly used his connections, and immediately made twenty-eight identical Nanmu boxes to hold the dowry for Hao Lingzhu.
At the beginning, all the inheritance left by Mrs. Hao was given to Hao Lingzhu, and Hao Ling also pasted some into it himself, and of course Master Hao gave more.
He has a total of these children, Hao's huge family business is there, Hao Lingzhu can't occupy any light, this marriage is someone else's family, you have to prepare more things for her, and you can be tougher when you talk to your in-law's house in the future.
Aunt Shen and Hao Lingwei were also busy preparing some, and when Aunt Shen and Hao Lingwei saw the red and gorgeous twenty-eight big nanmu boxes with their own eyes, the mother and son were shocked.
I think that when Aunt Shen married into Haofu, she only brought eight boxes of dowry, and now everything she has is slowly collected in Haofu.
Surrounded by her own people, Hao Lingwei gently touched her mother with her elbow, and asked jealously and enviously: "Mother, look at it, Lingzhu can have such a lot of dowry when she gets married, so when I get married, I must have more than her, right?" ”
Aunt Shen took a breath and glared at Hao Lingwei, "Your mother and I don't have so much family property for you, if you want to complain, you can complain that your second brother is not angry, and he can't save so much dowry for you." ”
Hao Lingwei's face was suddenly full of unhappiness, "Mother, then why can there be so many spirit beads, and I am not as good as her?" is the same Miss Haofu, it should be the same. ”
Aunt Shen sneered, "The same? You are embarrassed to say the same, although your mother is called Mrs. on the surface, who really treats me as a lady in their hearts? I have worked hard for Hao Mansion for half my life, and your father has never thought of straightening me up, do you think you are the same daughter as Lingzhu? To put it mildly, you're just a concubine. ”
Being sneered at by Aunt Shen like this, Hao Lingwei's embarrassed cheeks were red, but she was not ashamed, but angry.
She stomped her feet unhappily and said, "Mother, how can anyone say this about herself?" I said that you are the wife of Haofu, and you are the lady of Haofu! Who in Taihe County doesn't know that you are the wife of Haofu? Mother, I want my dowry to be the same as Lingzhu's, I am a person with a mother, she is a person without a mother, why should my dowry be inferior to her? ”
"Because your second brother is not as good as her eldest brother!"
Throwing down this sentence lightly, Aunt Shen turned around and left, leaving Hao Lingwei alone there with envy, jealousy and hatred.
said that the Hao Mansion had prepared so much dowry for Hao Lingzhu here, and the Gu Mansion was also busy helping Gu Yun prepare the dowry at this time.
The dowry is a symbol of the daughter's status in the in-law's family in the future, and if she is too young, she will inevitably be laughed at in the future. However, the old lady of Hao Mansion was originally also the girl of their Gu family, and she can be regarded as having a backer in Hao Mansion in the future, so she doesn't have to worry too much about being blamed.
In March, the temperature has already warmed up, the peach blossoms and pear blossoms are in full bloom, and the pedestrians on the road are wearing more and more thin clothes, welcoming the upcoming summer.
Twenty-eight large boxes have been carried to the boat, Hao Lingzhu stood on the dock in new clothes, hesitantly holding Ding Page's hand, not wanting to let go.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, Hao Lingzhu's mother-in-law died early, and she only takes Ding Page, the sister-in-law, as her dearest mother's family.
Ding Yezi looked at her with a smile, "Lingzhu, in the future, you will be an adult in a short time, don't cry like a baby, it's a joke." ”
Hao Lingzhu said reluctantly: "Jokes are jokes, I'm going to get married, I don't know when I'll be able to see my sister-in-law again in the future, the days after this are so long, how can I give up?" ”
"Anla, it's okay, I can't wait for your brother to have time in the future, and I'm convenient, so I'll go to the capital with your brother to play, and go to see you by the way, it's not impossible." Ding Yezi tried to comfort Hao Lingzhu's anxious and reluctant heart when she was about to get married.
Hao Ling saw that her aunt and sister-in-law were talking endlessly, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lingzhu, the auspicious time has arrived, you should hurry up and get ready to get on the boat." Your sister-in-law said the same, when it is convenient in the future, it is not too late to come and go, it is impossible not to see each other in this life. ”
Hao Lingzhu had always been a little afraid of Hao Ling, and she didn't dare to argue with her, so she had to reluctantly let go of Ding Page's hand and walked back to the boat step by step.
Because Hao Lingzhu had a lot of dowry and a lot of entourage, he chose to go to the capital by water. Anyway, the time is not in a hurry, and you can go to the capital in a leisurely manner.
When she came out of Hao's Mansion just now, Hao Lingzhu had already said goodbye to the old lady, so she didn't let the old man come to the dock to see her off.
The wharf was also crowded with many people from Hao's mansion, as well as onlookers.
It was the first time I saw Hao's mansion marrying a daughter, and he also prepared a lot of dowry, so the people couldn't help but wait and see it curiously. Many people also saw Ding Yezi's face for the first time, and they were curious about her for a long time. When I saw that she was such an ordinary woman, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and I thought that the eldest young master of the Hao family had married what kind of immortal.
But I heard a woman in the crowd say, "Alas...... It turns out that this young lady is nothing more than that, not as beautiful as my girl. ”
The other woman nodded, "Isn't it?" But I heard that the eldest young master of Hao Mansion married this Ding family girl just to be happy, and now the eldest young master's body is better, and he is about to marry a girl with a similar family background and appearance as his wife! ”
"Flat wife?" When a person next to him heard this, he asked in astonishment.
"But no, as soon as the flat wife enters the door, what kind of storm can this Ding family girl set off? I'm afraid that I will have to live in a cold courtyard in the future. ”
"That's not it, it's okay, the young lady is also pregnant now, if she can get a man in one fell swoop, and the mother is expensive with her son, the future life will not be the same."
"That's the same, unlike us, there is no hope in this life."
……
There are countless gossips, and it is inevitable that one or two sentences will float to Ding Page's ears.
She frowned slightly, her face was a little ugly, she didn't expect that the matter had already spread outside, but the old lady was still pretending to be stupid in front of them, saying that there was no such thing at all, only that they were chasing after the wind, it was too boring.
The old lady has said so, what else can she say?
It seems that the old lady wants the raw rice to be cooked into mature rice, and directly let Hao Ling refuse?
Perhaps, it's time for her to think about her own countermeasures, otherwise when the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be too late to think of a way.
It was only after seeing Hao Lingzhu's boat disappear into the distance that Ding Page went home with Hao Ling. Naturally, Hao Ling also heard the gossip she heard, but the two chose to remain silent and not mention this matter to each other.
Some things are enough to say once or twice, and if you talk about them too much, they will be boring. Ding Yezi understands this truth, and he doesn't want to let himself be entangled too much in this matter.
After Hao Ling sent Ding Page back, he went to the old lady again.
His expression was solemn, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Old lady, there are no major things to do in the mansion recently, why do you need to prepare to stock up on so many things in the kitchen now?" Seeing that summer is coming, things are easy to spoil if they are put for a long time, so it is better to go out and buy what you want to eat in the future, why hoard it now? ”
The old lady said that she didn't want to marry Gu Yun into the door, but there were a lot of small actions in private.
At first, it may be the contact between the Hao Gu family, but after the matter is settled, they are always busy preparing banquets and distributing wedding cards. The wedding card has not yet been distributed at that time, otherwise it will not be good for the news to reach Hao Ling's ears, but some of the ingredients that should be prepared are to be prepared.
Hao's happy event is a big event, how can some ordinary things be sent away? I had to collect them all over the country early.
