【V100】Preparing for marriage
Yu Shaoqing was extremely depressed, his adopted daughter didn't hurt enough, so he had to let another man snatch it away, and what was even more heartbreaking was that his daughter was quite happy to be robbed......
Yu Shaoqing was not good at having a seizure in front of outsiders, and finally got Mrs. Yao, Uncle Wan, and Du Hongniang out of the house, and then went to the factory to find her eldest brother with chest tightness and shortness of breath.
The uncle was counting the dowry in front of the list in the book of gifts, the young master's mansion was really generous, a full hundred and sixty-two loads, not to mention that the villagers were dumbfounded, not afraid of making jokes in front of the subordinates of the young master's mansion, he knelt on the spot.
How did he know that the young master's mansion had prepared one hundred and thirty taels of dowry, and Shangguan Yan quietly added thirty-two loads, the combined number is indeed too amazing, you know, the most noble eldest princess of this dynasty only carried one hundred and twenty taels when she got married.
Uncle took the two children to order for a whole day, half of them were not finished, almost tired into three cows, the two calves went back to the old house to eat, and came to exchange for him for a while, so many dowries, worried that there were thieves in mind, and they had to be released day and night to guard.
"Big brother." Yu Shaoqing walked to a big box next to the uncle and sat down, there was only one chair in the room, and the uncle was sitting.
The uncle found that his younger brother was listless, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" What happened? ”
Yu Shaoqing didn't know how to tell his eldest brother, it was quite embarrassing to say, he was Awan's father, but Awan chose that stinky boy between him and a stinky boy.
"It's the wedding date, right?" Uncle guessed.
"Hmm." Yu Shaoqing replied vaguely.
Uncle Quan, when he was a younger brother, was so depressed because he couldn't bear his daughter, he raised his tired and sore arm and patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you want to open up, your daughter's family is going to marry after all, Ah Wan is not far from marrying, you miss her, just go to see her, she is homesick, and she can go back to her parents' house, you look at these dowries, there are too many to count...... I'm afraid you don't know in the barracks, Wan Gongzi...... No, Young Master Yan is really interested in our family...... Look at the person who beat people up when you go back, their father is the prince, enough to cure you for capital crimes! ”
Uncle just said this, but in his heart he didn't feel good, although Ah Wan was not his own child, but in his heart he was his own daughter, where was he willing to marry Ah Wan?
But isn't there no way?
Uncle sighed: "I just asked the people from the Young Master's Mansion?" Isn't there a late day? The people in the Young Master's Mansion said that the good days are all taken up for this month, and there will be no such good auspicious days for the zodiac in the next half a year, so you can't let Ah Wan wait for another half a year, right? Ah Wan is not young. ”
Yu Shaoqing's teeth are itchy, and there is no auspicious day for the zodiac! It's just that the kid can't bear it anymore and wants to kidnap his daughter back to the wolf's den!
Uncle said earnestly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, my brother and sister were younger than Awan when they married you, what did the family say?" ”
Thinking of his wife, Yu Shaoqing was silent.
After saying goodbye to his eldest brother, Yu Shaoqing returned to his house.
Today's house is noisy, Xiao Tie Dan didn't study, he played crazy with three little milk bags all day, this time they all fell asleep, Yu Wan couldn't hold back the sleepiness and hugged her son to sleep, Jiang Shi was awake, lying on the bed, poking Xiao Tie Dan's face one by one.
"Ah Shu." Yu Shaoqing lay down beside Jiang, hugged her from behind, and took a deep breath of her aroma between her neck.
"Huh?" Jiang Shi replied suspiciously.
Yu Shaoqing said: "I have been married for so many years...... Homesick? When I can leave the capital, I'll accompany you back to my parents' house. ”
Without waiting for Jiang to answer, he continued: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, and there should always be relatives in the side branches, do you have anyone you want to see?" ”
"Nope." Jiang said.
I don't know if I'm talking about relatives who don't have side branches, or people who don't want to see them.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law went early, and there were no sisters and brothers at his wife's house, Yu Shaoqing was worried that saying too many sad things would arouse his wife's heart, so he didn't dare to ask again, so he hugged her tightly and said, "Then tell me when you want to go back and see, let's bring the child with us." ”
No matter how you say it, it's your homeland, even if your relatives are gone, you will want to go back for a walk in your lifetime, even if it's to put a stick of incense and kowtow a few times to your parents.
"Hmm." In the darkness, Jiang Shi responded in a low voice.
This night, the Jiang family didn't treat Yu Shaoqing like this or that, Yu Shaoqing felt more and more that his wife was missing her hometown, and made up her mind that she would take her home to see when she was cleared of charges.
The sixteenth wedding date, the days available for preparation are less than seven days, which can be bitter for both sides, Uncle Wan feels that he has several more white hairs, Shangguan Yan moved directly into the mansion, what Yan Jiuchao wanted to say, Uncle Wan was furious: "Do you still want to get married?" Shut up if you want to! ”
Young Master Yan obediently shut up.
Uncle Wan, who was finally hardened, went to decorate the mansion with great dignity.
The place to live after the big wedding is in the Young Lord's Mansion, Shangguan Yan has actually proposed the Xiao Mansion, compared to the Young Lord's Mansion who can't live for three or four days a year, so that Shangguan Yan's Xiao Mansion that has been running for many years is obviously more suitable for preparing for the big wedding in all aspects, not to mention, just from the personnel point of view, the Xiao Mansion is complicated, the people are all well-trained, what room and what to do are coordinated seamlessly, the rough old men of the Young Lord's Mansion have no experience in making banquets, so it is not easy to get up.
"Where is this?" Uncle Wan sneered.
Shangguan Yan paused: "It's me who is impulsive." ”
The son will not be willing to go to the Xiao Mansion, and going means admitting that he is Xiao Zhenting's stepson, and there is always only one father in the son's heart.
Shangguan Yan waved his hand: "That's it, let's go to the young master's mansion, I'll send more people over, the two banquets on the wedding day, the cook and the dishes have to be set, and the servants have to be arranged, what else?" ”
There are a lot of things, and Shangguan Yan's brain is confused.
Uncle Wan hurriedly took out a list from his arms: "Here, the old slave has written it down." ”
"You see, there are still people who welcome relatives." Welcoming relatives is the top priority, chariots, horses, musicians, and guards...... The pomp is small, and my son doesn't like to watch it, and when the pomp is big, I don't know where to get so many people...... In the past, she was worried that her son would not get married, but now she was caught off guard, Shangguan Yan raised her forehead and said, "I'll go to Yao's house!" ”
Shangguan Yan found Mrs. Yao, and the two of them worked hard all day to settle the matter of welcoming the family.
But it was said that it was not only the young lord's mansion that was busy, but the Yu family was also very anxious.
"Are you married?" Bai Tang got the news and rushed to help, although she has never been married, Bai Yulou has contracted many wedding banquets of large families, so even if she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs go.
There are so many dowries in the young master's mansion, the woman naturally has to prepare some dowry, return a part from the bride price, and add a part of her own family, the Yu family's business has just started, if Yu Wan marries a squire, it is more than enough to marry a squire, but the dowry is not enough to be the housewife of the young lord's mansion, and in the end, Yu Shaoqing gave Yu Wan the title deed of the mountain, although it is not worth much, but at least it is a part of the family's heart, they can't afford to give the grange and shops, they can only give a barren mountain.
Yu Wan is married to a big family, and it stands to reason that she must have her own room, but the time is too late to prepare, there are many people in Baitang's courtyard, but the maid of the Shangjia family has never seen the world, and she is afraid that going to the young master's mansion will cause chaos to Yu Wan, so Bai Tang did not force it to Yu Wan.
"Do you have a wedding dress?" Bai Tang asked.
Yu Wanmian said without changing her face: "There is." ”
I had it a long time ago, but I didn't dare to tell my family the truth, and lied that it was sent by Uncle Wan on the day of his hiring.
"Where's the clothes after the wedding?" Bai Tang then asked.
Yu Wan was asked.
Bai Tang said with a dark face: "You don't plan to wear the old cloth clothes after the wedding, right?" My aunt, you are married to Yan Jiuchao, from now on you will be the wife of Yancheng and the daughter-in-law of the Great Zhou royal family, you can no longer wear the clothes of a countryman! ”
"There are still a few new clothes at home that I don't have to wear." Yu Wan said with rare pain, she understood that what Bai Tang said was right, after the big wedding, she should have what she looked like after the big wedding, she didn't think about herself, she had to earn a few thin noodles for Yan Jiuchao, originally marrying a rural village girl was enough to make people laugh, if this village girl couldn't get on the stage again-
Yu Wan thought about it and still felt that she couldn't be too embarrassed, so she went to the capital with Bai Tang after lunch.
Now it's too late to customize, so I can only buy ready-to-wear, Bai Tang led Yu Wan to Xiushui Street, which is full of embroidery buildings and cloth villages, and it is dizzying.
Bai Tang took Yu Wan's hand and said, "Let's pick slowly, don't worry, you will go to my house to live when it gets dark, and we will continue to pick tomorrow." ”
Yu Wan nodded, her own sister-in-law, there's no need to be polite, right?
The two entered an embroidery building called Yunshui, this embroidery building is huge, full of three floors, it is said that the proprietress is a Jiangnan person, do a good job of Su embroidery, her embroidery has been invited to the palace, many noble ladies and daughters are admired, to be able to get a piece of her own embroidered clothes are proud, Bai Tang does not ask them to buy her custom, only to be able to pick a few suitable clothes.
"The embroidery girls here are all taught by her, and the craftsmanship is better than the outside, you see." Bai Tang said, pulling over a wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt hanging on the shelf, the skirt yarn is slow, the skirt is light, the needles are fine, and the silver thread pierced is like a real moonlight, moving slightly, and the moonlight is flowing.
Bai Tang can already imagine what Yu Wan can look like when she wears it: "Just this one, you try!" ”
Yu Wan changed into a wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt, the biggest feature of this skirt is that the waist is extremely tight, and whenever there is a little fat in the waist and abdomen, it will wear a bloated effect, but Yu Wan's slender waist is full of hands, and with the wide wide sleeves, the whole person is tall, beautiful like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Bai Tang was simply stunned, knowing that this girl was beautiful, but she didn't expect to be beautiful at such a height, what kind of family daughter, what big family lady, at this moment all dwarfed by her side, the whole embroidery building quieted down, and everyone's eyes were attracted by Yu Wan.
They've seen this dress before, but don't they think it looks so good?
It is said that people depend on clothing, but sometimes it is one person who makes a set of clothes.
Yu Wan was so beautiful that even the passers-by stopped.
Only one thought flashed in Bai Tang's mind: buy, buy, buy! Buy as much money as you want!
Just when Bai Tang was about to ask the price, another girl came out wearing the same wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt, she was younger than Yu Wan, but her face was not as tender as Yu Wan's, and her figure was not as slender as Yu Wan, but it was not a bulge, if there was no Yu Wan Zhuyu in front, although her dress was not very amazing, but it could not be said to be ugly, but after seeing Yu Wan full of fairy energy, she would be a little dirty and scum.
In the crowd, I don't know who sneered.
She was stunned at first, and then saw Yu Wan, who was dressed exactly like herself not far away, and her face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
The blind man also saw that Yu Wan was dressed better than her.
She fell in love with this skirt half a month ago, but at that time she was too fat to wear it, so she starved herself for more than ten days, and finally was able to wear it, and let other women compare!
The girl was angry, stepped forward and pointed at Yu Wan and said, "Who let you wear this skirt?" ”
Yu Wan looked at her strangely, only to find that she had picked a skirt of the same style as herself, Yu Wan didn't think she was wearing ugly, but her style was not good-looking.
Yu Wan asked, "Can't you wear it?" You bought it? ”
"I ......," choked the girl, of course she didn't buy it, and she said, "I'll try it before you!" ”
Yu Wan clicked on her skirt and said, "You tried this one on you, and I didn't take it off from you." ”
That's right, she can't try a dress, and then all of it is hers, and the princess is not so domineering.
The girl saw that Yu Wan had no jewelry on her head, and only wore a peach wood hairpin bought from the stall, and was sure that Yu Wan was not the daughter of a rich and noble family, so she started to bully people: "I want them all!" Take this off of yours! ”
Bai Tang walked over angrily, glared at her and said, "You said you wanted it, we want it too!" ”
The girl glanced at Bai Tang up and down, Bai Tang was dressed decently, but it was a little worthless compared to the girl.
The girl sneered: "Can you afford it, you want it?" ”
Bai Tang said coldly: "Shopkeeper, how much is this skirt?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled wryly and said, "Six hundred taels." ”
Bai Tang was stunned: "First, a torn skirt...... Six hundred taels?! ”
Rao is so poor that she has only money left, and she has never bought such expensive clothes, let alone this dress does not look very expensive at all.
"Is your garment set with gold or with precious stones? How can it be so expensive? Bai Tang stomped his feet.
The girl sneered disdainfully: "At first glance, you have never seen the world, the skirt on her body is made by Mengniang herself, and six hundred taels is cheaper for you." ”
Mengniang is the proprietress of Yunshui, she only made one wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt, and the rest are all imitated by her apprentice, although they are also imitated very well, but they can't sell her price, the girl originally fell in love with Yu Wan's body, but she can't wear it!
"Do you really want it?" Yu Wan asked the girl.
The girl glanced at Yu Wan and said, "What?" Do you want to talk to me about the conditions? ”
Bai Tang frowned, this girl is young, why does she speak so ugly?
Yu Wan tugged at the corner of her lips lightly: "If you want, give it to you." ”
Bai Tang was stunned, and the girl was also stunned, as if she didn't expect Yu Wan to let go of her skirt so easily, and it wasn't unfit and unsightly.
Or is it ...... She saw that the girl's status was noble, and she didn't dare to grab things from her?
No, she is not this kind of person, she is not even afraid of Yan Ruyu, how can she be afraid of this little girl who appeared out of thin air, unless this little girl is a princess, there is really nothing to make Ah Wan jealous.
Bai Tang looked at Yu Wan puzzled.
Yu Wan went to the inner room to change her shirt, and just after taking two steps, a young woman with an elegant temperament walked down the stairs, she stopped in the middle of the stairs and looked at Yu Wan from afar: "Why don't you want this skirt?" Is it too expensive? ”
Yu Wan shook her head.
Mengniang looked at the girl beside Yu Wan: "Is it because of her?" ”
Yu Wan shook her head again.
"What's the reason for that?" Mengniang asked.
Yu Wanyun said lightly: "Because it's not worth the price." ”
There was a gasp in the embroidery building, this little girl actually said that Mengniang's craftsmanship was not worth the price? Does she know what she's talking about?
Only Mengniang did not show any dissatisfaction, the skirt was made by Mengniang, Mengniang knows better than anyone, it is not that she needs this skirt, but that this skirt needs her, only when it is worn on her body, it is beautiful and shining, so she is right, this skirt is indeed not worth the price.
Yu Wan went to the inner room to change her skirt.
The girl swore that even if she starved for another month, she would definitely wear this skirt into it!
But as soon as the girl stretched out her hand, Mengniang took the skirt in her hand one step earlier than her, and then she saw Mengniang take out a pair of scissors and cut the skirt to pieces.
The girl's face was pale: "My dress!" ”
Mengniang didn't look at her, walked towards Yu Wan, gestured up the stairs and said, "This girl, please upstairs." ”
The girl was stunned, what? She has been patronizing Yunshui for a year and has never been received by Mengniang, why did this girl ask Mengniang to invite her upstairs as soon as she came?! Mobile phone users please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
