Chapter 179: Preparations

When Mrs. Tai saw that Master Cen was also so uncompetitive and unfilial, she was so angry and sick after being so disappointed in Master Cen that she could only lie on the 'bed' every day to recuperate, not only could she no longer manage the affairs of the family, but even Gu Zheng's family affairs did not have the 'fine' strength to 'operate', so Mrs. Luo proudly took over the power of 'manipulating' Gu Zheng's family affairs.

Fortunately, the Cen family had already sent Gu Zheng's dowry list to the Liang family early in the morning, even if Mrs. Luo wanted to delete Gu Zheng's dowry, it was too late——— the dowry was clearly written in black and white, if the Cen family did not send the dowry according to the details listed on the list after giving the dowry list, it would only make people laugh and look down on it!

In this way, Mrs. Luo could only put her mind on the sugar bureau that was not indicated in the dowry list, and wanted to take advantage of Mrs. Tai's bedside to snatch the sugar bureau from Gu Zheng......

Mrs. Luo directly approached Gu Zheng and opened the 'door' and ordered: "Qi Niang, although Mrs. Tai favors you and only thinks about you in everything, but you can't be ignorant of Entu Bao——— I won't say much about these truths, you take the initiative to pass the sugar bureau to your father's name!" Anyway, if you bring the sugar bureau over, it will only be cheaper for the Liang family in the end! ”

Mrs. Luo's natural appearance made Gu Zheng very unhappy, and deliberately asked her: "Cheap people from the Liang family?" Could it be that the child I will give birth to in the future is not from the Liang family? I can not give it to my husband's family, but I can give it to my future children, and I don't need my mother to 'worry' about it. ”

"You ......"

Mrs. Luo pointed at Gu Zheng for a long time and couldn't say a single reasonable word, so in the end she could only say strongly: "Our Cen family has raised you for so many years, what have you done for the Cen family?" If it weren't for our Cen family to take you in, you would have starved to death on the streets, how could you have today's scenery? Don't even want to marry Liang Sangongzi! You 'touch' your conscience and think about it, think about whether you should repay our Cen family! ”

Gu Zheng was not afraid of Mrs. Luo's paper tiger at all, so he unceremoniously ridiculed each other at the moment: "What have the second sister and third sister done for the Cen family?" I have the blood of the Cen family in my body, what's wrong with being raised by the Cen family? ”

Mrs. Luo was already at a loss, and she couldn't say anything about Gu Zheng, so she could only rob in an arrogant tone: "Don't talk nonsense!" If you want to get married smoothly, give me the sugar bureau! Don't forget that I am the master of the family now, and the old lady who protects you everywhere is now in bed and can't protect you! ”

Gu Zhengcai didn't believe that Mrs. Luo had the courage to repent of her marriage and offend the Liang family, so she was not afraid of her threat at all...... It's just that Gu Zheng didn't want Mrs. Tai to always be said to be partial, so she finally decided to return the things that Mrs. Tai had originally 'handed over' to her, so that Mrs. Luo would not be able to say Mrs. Tai's partiality in the future!

After making up his mind, Gu Zheng's attitude suddenly changed, and he agreed to Mrs. Luo's request very happily: "Okay, I can return the sugar bureau to my grandmother's name, and I can also take away the income of the last quarter on the account without settlement——— but how much my grandmother gave me at the beginning, I will return it to the Cen family now, I will not take half of the Cen family's advantage, but I will not give the Cen family any more." After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he ignored Mrs. Luo and took the tea cup to taste the tea.

After careful consideration, Mrs. Luo also had a plan in her heart——— as long as Gu Zheng didn't bring the sugar bureau to the Liang family, then whether the sugar bureau was under the name of Mrs. Tai or under the name of Master Cen, it would eventually belong to the Cen family's industry, so she would have her share!

Thinking like this, Mrs. Luo left happily, and for a while she forgot to ask Gu Zheng for the recipe for refining white sugar, thinking that as long as the sugar bureau was in hand, the recipe would follow.

After that, Gu Zheng did not break his promise, and immediately called Gu Feng to discuss, asked Gu Feng to help return the sugar bureau to Mrs. Tai's name, and wrote down the method of refining white sugar and 'handed it over' to Gu Feng, so that Gu Feng could find an opportunity to 'hand' it over to Mrs. Tai in the future......

…………

Let's not mention the fact that Gu Zheng returned the sugar bureau to Mrs. Tai, but said that after the Cen Liang family 'handed over' the Geng post and got the good luck of the marriage divination, the two families began to be busy preparing for the size of the marriage——— first small and big determination, and then followed by financial gifts and large gifts.

After a few rounds of back and forth discussions between the two families, the Cen and Liang families quickly completed the rituals before marriage one by one according to custom. And because of the potential instability factor of the draft, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the two families quickly chose the closest auspicious day and set the day of marriage!

The days must come down, and the Liang family began to be busy——— and they had to ask the mason to decorate the yard where Liang Jingxian made a new house and rearrange the large pieces of furniture; I also want to invite the people at the end of the wedding shop to Liang Mansion to take a look at the place, so as to choose a suitable place to build a wedding shed in advance; It is also necessary to make a list of the guests to be invited to the banquet, choose the right person to be the Blessed Person, write a wedding card, and so on.

The Cen family is also very busy, and the Quanfu people naturally want to be invited, and they have to carry Gu Zheng's dowry up! Although these things have to be discussed by Mrs. Luo and the Liang family according to the rules, Gu Zheng is not idle at all——— she not only has to start embroidering pillowcases, wedding quilts and shoes and socks for her in-laws the next day of marriage, but also has to personally pick out the wedding dress and various jewelry to wear on the wedding day.

The two families were busy for three or four months, and finally prepared all the big and small matters of marriage, and there were only three days left for this busy work and the auspicious day of marriage in a blink of an eye......

According to the rules, three days before the wedding, the man must follow the custom and ask the matchmaker to send the makeup-urging 'flower' bun, 'flower' fan 'flower' powder box, gold hijab, and painted colored thread fruit and other makeup-urging things to the 'woman' party's house, urging the 'woman' to get ready for marriage as soon as possible.

After the Cen family received the hypnotic items sent by the Liang family, they gave back gold and silver victories, Luo 'flower' heads, green robes and boots; Two days later, Gu Feng led someone to carry the dowry prepared for Gu Zheng early in the morning to Liang's house......

The amount of dowry of the newly-married 'woman' is inseparable from her future status in her in-law's family, and it is also the dignity of the newly-married 'woman' in her in-law's family. Gu Zheng's dowry was finalized by Mrs. Tai, and it was decently and decently arranged, and all the dowries added up to one hundred and twenty units after they were installed!

Out of the 'door' the first lift is the Mrs. Tai gave Fu Lu Shou three Weng, the second lift is a pair of sheep fat 'jade' Ruyi added by Master Cen, the third lift is two half-human high red corals; then there are some antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver 'jade' utensils and utensils ornaments; and then the back is the screen, furniture and quilts, mattresses and other things;

The smaller pieces include various 'colored' jewelry, clothes of the four seasons, silk and satin, the four treasures of the study, pearl agate, and some gold and silver at the bottom of the box; The last few heads are filled with clay embryos and tiles that symbolize land and property...... In short, except for the few things that symbolize 'sex', each of the rest is stuffed to the brim!

Full of one hundred and twenty dowries were carried all the way to the Liang family in Thorn Prefecture, and finally placed neatly in the courtyard of the Liang family, which was generous for the Liang family to come to see the lively relatives.

Gu Feng, as the representative of the dowry party, solemnly handed the official dowry list to the Liang family, and on the other hand, instructed Cen Liuniang and others to personally shop the house for the newlyweds in accordance with the rules——— the so-called bunk is actually simply to decorate the room and lay the 'bed'.

According to Dafeng customs, when making a house, the male family will prepare the 'bed' tables, tables and chairs in advance, and the 'female' family will prepare the bedding and curtain, and ask the relatives to go to the man's house to lay the house utensils and put up jewelry......

The next day after the house was laid was the auspicious day for marriage, and it was also the last night Gu Zheng slept at home. According to Dafeng customs, Gu Zheng was supposed to sleep with her mother on this last night, so that her mother could teach her some truths that she must understand after marrying a 'wife', as well as how to 'serve' her in-laws and be a good daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that Mrs. Luo is just Gu Zheng's nominal mother, and Gu Zheng would rather serve 'serve' in front of Mrs. Tai, who is sick in the 'bed', for one night than sleep with Mrs. Luo......

Mrs. Tai knew that Gu Zheng was unwilling to be cordial with Mrs. Luo and did not force her, so she personally took on the responsibility of teaching Gu Zheng how to be a 'woman', but Mrs. Tai simply taught Gu Zheng some basic principles of how to behave after marriage, so she turned to the next topic with a relieved face: "Wanwan, you have always been a smart child, I don't need to say much about how to get along with your husband's family, you must have already known it yourself......"

"There is only one thing that you little girl's family doesn't understand, and I must teach you tonight," Mrs. Tai said and beckoned to Mama Yu, who immediately presented a few blue-skinned albums when she saw them, and handed them to Gu Zheng with a smile: "These albums are for the girl to press the bottom of the box, and the girl will definitely use them after she gets married." ”

Gu Zheng didn't react for a while, and opened the album stupidly, never thinking that she had just turned a page, and Mama Yu quickly pressed her hand, and coughed a few times uncomfortably before whispering: "It's not too late for the girl to look through these albums after she returns to the house." ”

And although Gu Zheng only turned one page just now, he saw the content of the page clearly with sharp eyes——— there was a pair of men and women who were tightly 'intertwined' and entangled! After reading the album and listening to Mama Yu's words, Gu Zheng immediately realized that the album he was holding in his hand was the ancient 'spring'/palace/picture, and immediately blushed with shame, and he didn't even dare to continue to stay on those albums, but hurriedly stuffed those albums into his sleeves......

Mrs. Tai is a person from the past, and she knows why Gu Zheng is shy, but this is the only way for every girl to become a young woman, Gu Zheng is shy, and the things that should be instilled in her as an elder still have to be instilled.

Therefore, Mrs. Tai quickly called Gu Zheng to her side, and taught her the art of the boudoir and the way of the husband without changing her face, and instructed Gu Zheng without worrying after speaking: "Anyway, that's the thing, you go back and look at those albums and you will slowly understand...... Ahem, grandmother won't say much. ”

Gu Zheng dared to ask more, and said "I know" and diverted the topic: "Grandmother, I can't bear you!" ”
