Chapter 108 Confession of Affection
Besides, at this time, the two families are married, and there are very few people who act according to the real ancient rites, and the six rites are Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, inviting the period, and welcoming in person, and now they are simplified, but they are all symbolic appearances.
Coupled with the agreement between the two parties, Lu Seventeen had the intention not to let the matter of marriage spread loudly, so he was very low-key, and waited for the old lady of Linchuan to pass by, and at the end of November, although Lu Seventeen and Ba Niang's family affairs were a little twisted and turned due to the disparity in the financial resources of the two families, the dowry and dowry were a little twists and turns, but they were finally settled.
Zhu Shiyuan was still worried about Banniang's trouble, but she didn't think that after this girl said anything about hunger strike that day, when it was really time to get engaged, she was unusual, and she was quite happy, so she just thought it out by herself, and she didn't care.
However, because the 300-day semester of state school was not completed, and there was no vacation, he couldn't rush back to participate in the wedding banquet between the two, so he sent a letter to Lu Seventeen, saying that he was congratulatory, the two were originally friends, and now they have become the relationship between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law, which is even closer. Gorou is also happy that his sister can marry a wishful man like Lu Seventeen.
And the birthday banquet of the martial master in the Wufu is scheduled on the sixth day of the lunar month, the time is very tight, the two sets of head noodles designed by Banniang for Mrs. Wu have been sent over early, as for the menu, it was also discussed with the Wu family several times, before it was finally ordered, eight cold spells, eight dim sum, plus eight muddy eight vegetarian sixteen dishes, it can be described as sumptuous, this table, in order to be able to open a resounding reputation in Nanfeng City and the surrounding counties, Banniang has also worked hard.
Because it was not a few days, Banniang took the time to call the four chefs and the four elementary school apprentices to the kitchen of the restaurant that had been renovated, and carefully checked whether all the kitchen utensils were ready, which were to be taken to the martial arts family at that time.
I also asked a few people to start working and make all the dishes on the menu at one time, so as to save time when there was a mess and there was no time to remedy it.
After a busy day, I made all the dishes, and invited Mrs. Wu and Wu Sanniang's mother and daughter to taste it, and got the affirmation of the two, and it was over.
Mrs. Wu smiled and rewarded each of the four chefs with two dollars, and each of the four apprentices with money, and said with satisfaction: "If the guests are satisfied after the birthday banquet, then we will reward you again, I just hope that you will all do your best." ”
Eight people received the reward, and they retreated with a thousand thanks, Banniang smiled: "Madam, I have listed the ingredients and dishes that need to be purchased one by one, so please prepare them according to the list in the past two days, these should also be prepared by us, but because there are too many banquets, I am the first time to undertake, I am afraid that something will go wrong, and we can save some money by purchasing from the house, and I hope Mrs. will not be surprised." ”
can give birth to a daughter like Wu Sanniang, Mrs. Wu is naturally a cool lady, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, it's obviously to help us save money, but it seems that you can't live with us, Sanniang, you have made a good friend." ”
Rao is Wu Sanniang's usually capable person, and in front of her mother, she is also a little daughter, and she smiled according to Mrs. Wu: "Banniang is not only my good friend, but the god of wealth of our martial family." Mother, don't worry about appreciating the cook. Isn't Banniang's family affair decided? When you look back and wait for her to get married, you will find a few good things and give them to Banniang to press the box, this girl loves money, so she will be happy. With your kindness in mind, how many good ideas can you give me to make money? Aren't we making it again? ”
Speaking of her own family affairs, Banniang pretended to be shy, and said angrily: "Sister Wu, you are talking nonsense again." ”
Mrs. Wu took Banniang's hand, stroked it carefully, and said with a smile: "Really handsome girl, what your sister Wu said is right, I have some good things in my box, and I am not afraid that people will say that I want to climb that high door, I will give you a few things when I arrive, and I dare not say anything else, we have been dealing in jewelry and jade for generations, and we can really take out a few good things." It's a pity that we are such a merchant family, otherwise, just a handsome and intelligent girl like you, I really want to recognize it as my own daughter, we are only one Sanniang, and there are no other brothers and sisters, God is pitiful, if I have a goddaughter like you, how many sisters does she have. ”
Banniang had to admire Mrs. Wu's ability to speak.
In fact, don't say anything about the scholarly disciple of the merchant family, Emperor Taizu also went through business, she is a poor and famous family, what kind of score do you put on?
Banniang got up, walked to Mrs. Wu, bowed her head, blessed Mrs. Wu, and laughed crisply: "Godmother is on top, and I will be worshiped by the little girl." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Great Song Dynasty didn't kneel, and they didn't have to kneel when they saw the emperor, Banniang might have kowtowed to Mrs. Wu to show her sincerity.
Although Mrs. Wu had this heart, she didn't expect Banniang to be so neat and really recognize her as a cheap godmother, but she was stunned, and then laughed, and asked Wu Sanniang to help Banniang sit down beside her, and said: "Although it is a bit rude to recognize you as a goddaughter, only you and Sanniang are good friends, and I also rely on the old to sell the old once, you have called me a godmother, I also like you, but I should be." ”
While speaking, he took off a heavy gold phoenix inlaid jade bracelet from his hand and put it on Banniang's thin little wrist: "Godmother knows that you have a high vision in jewelry, and I am afraid that this bracelet is not in your eyes, only this bracelet is handed down by my ancestors, although it is not said how beautiful, but it is better than the golden foot and jade beauty, and I have been with me for decades, even Sanniang, I am not willing to give it to her, and now I will be my meeting gift, I gave it to you, and you don't dislike it." ”
Banniang said in her heart that my godmother recognized the value, and in a blink of an eye, she made a small fortune, but when she saw Mrs. Wu looking at her, her eyes were red, Wu Sanniang was also a little sad when she saw this, and hurriedly handed over the embroidered handkerchief and persuaded: "Mother, I really have a sister now, it's a happy event, what are you crying?" ”
Mrs. Wu took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then smiled: "Isn't it a great event?" My mother has always been worried about you, afraid that after a hundred years of me and your father, you will be alone, and now you have sisters, and Banniang is a capable person, and in the future, you will have difficulties, and there will always be someone to talk to......"
When Banniang heard this, she could be regarded as understanding Mrs. Wu's thoughts, and she really pitied the hearts of her parents in the world.
People think that they are as rich as the martial arts, and they live a good life like a god in the sky, but who would have expected that such a person also has his difficulties.
took Mrs. Wu's arm, smiled and comforted: "Godmother, rest assured, the third sister has my sister, which is equivalent to how many more brothers and sisters, godmother, do you think, although our Zeng family has nothing else, just Ding Wang, how many brothers are there in one door, there are more than ten brothers and sisters, plus cousins and sisters from all over the world, isn't there dozens?" The third sister can be regarded as having dozens of brothers and sisters, what troubles does the third sister have in the future, as long as Banniang can do her best, she will definitely treat it as her own business. ”
Mrs. Wu doesn't just fancy the Zeng family Ding Xingwang, and they are all promising children, what will happen to Sanniang in the future, if the Zeng family is willing to do their best, in the end can they help weigh one or two, and then Baniang, although the child looks shrewd, but he is a kind-hearted person, such as the Zeng family, and the most particular about the word Xinyi, she started to make the two families go further.
"Your third sister also looks shrewd, if you really talk about it, it can't compare to you," Mrs. Wu smiled, "Then the godmother will entrust your third sister to you." ”
Banniang nodded as a guarantee, and said: "It's not a trivial matter to recognize my godmother, and when I go back, I will give my father and mother, and then I will officially go to your house and give you a big gift." ”
Mrs. Wu originally just wanted to use this method to make Banniang and Sanniang closer, but she didn't expect this matter to be put on the surface, and besides, Master Zeng had been an official, who didn't call Dr. Zeng when he saw it? If you knew that Banniang recognized her as a godmother, wouldn't you feel that the martial arts family was incompetent?
Busy persuading Banniang: "This can't be done." This is not to be done. Godmother just hopes that you and your third sister will be a little closer. ”
Banniang said formally: "This is as it should be, my father and mother would be happy if they knew that I had such a capable sister as my third sister." ”
She really likes Wu Sanniang. I also know that in this era, women have no brothers to help them, and how difficult it will be to stay with their parents for a hundred years, if they become relatives with their own families, even if the people in the Wu family want to embarrass Wu Sanniang in the future, they will have to worry a little more. Isn't Mrs. Wu thinking that Sister Wu can have someone to help her in the future? Why didn't she just send the Buddha to the West.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she no longer insisted.
After Banniang went home, she told her that she had recognized Mrs. Wu as her godmother. It doesn't matter if you don't doubt it, and the martial arts family used to be considered a great favor for their own family, without the martial family, his family still doesn't know what the situation is, after listening to Banniang's words, he said: "Even if you recognize your godmother, they also gave you a meeting gift, and our family etiquette can't be missing, didn't you say that a few days will be the 60th birthday banquet of Master Wu?" When the time comes, I will go to the banquet with your mother, and I will be considered an additional relative. ”
Banniang Yuan was also a little worried that her father didn't like her acting without permission, and she had no sense of proportion, but when she heard this, she was naturally very happy. When he turned around, the Zhu family prepared a recognition gift and led Banniang to send it over.
The martial arts family over there recognized Banniang as their goddaughter, and they also sent an invitation to the Zeng family.
