Chapter 135: Harmony
For the family affairs of the Ji Mansion and the Guifu, because the eldest lady Ji happened to be "sick", everything was handed over to the second lady Ji and the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, whether it was Nacai, asking for names, Najib, or Nazheng...... The office is decent, neither grand nor shabby, in short, there is a hint of coldness and casualness in the appropriateness.
In addition, Ji Yunyi came to return to the mansion on the day of his marriage, and he never appeared again, which made Gui Hongyuan and the Yu family a little dissatisfied. But the second elder was afraid that showing dissatisfaction would make Yue'er sad and embarrassed, so he kept silent, complaining in his heart, but there was nothing wrong with observing Yue'er.
In fact, what they don't know is that Gui Mingyue is not dissatisfied, firstly, she didn't have much expectation for the marriage itself, speaking of which, this Ji Yunyi can be regarded as her "ex-boyfriend", and marrying her ex-boyfriend is also difficult to say. Besides, you have to find someone to marry, who to marry is not to marry, and if you have money in your hand, you are not afraid of anything; Second, the discovery of Hayama's secret still excites her to this day......
In fact, she still thinks too simply, how can being a daughter at home be the same as going to someone else's house to be a daughter-in-law?
There are some things, even if there is silver, they can't be done. For example, the strict rules of the princely clan in the Dadong Dynasty are not something that Gui Mingyue, who has always been free and accustomed to, can endure.
When the spring was warm, the crown prince successfully ascended the throne.
As expected, the first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to resume scientific research and recruit people from all over the world.
The trial of returning to Qi was put on the agenda, and at the same time, the two daughters who returned home also arrived on the day of the meeting.
The homecoming daughter's ceremony is also quite grand, there are a lot of people present, in addition to the neighbors, there are also Gui Jingxue and Gui Mingyue's classmates and friends, and this gang of handkerchiefs, which one is not from a famous family, even if the family is the worst, it is also one of the most wealthy ladies in the county.
Even the former little friend Zhuang Jumping in Yu Village has come, and her family's life has been getting better and better in the past few years, and her father Zhuang Daqiang and second brother Zhuang Tao are already the chief stewards of Yushan, as the only daughter who grew up with the Zhuang family's pampering. Zhuang Jumping has already made a family appointment now, and he has lost his childhood joy, and is much more gentle and quiet. But seeing Gui Mingyue's familiar smile, she was still happy and excited, and shouted for her to take her everywhere to see the current homecoming.
It's so big, so beautiful, it should only be seen in a dream. Zhuang Jumping couldn't help but praise.
This time, the guest of honor who was in charge of presiding over the ceremony was the old lady of the Ueto General's Mansion.
Since a few years ago, in order to enter the family school, Gui Mingyue and the Yu family went to ask the old lady to return, and then almost every year the Yu family would go to the old lady to salute, and now the momentum of returning home is getting stronger, and the clan side is closer. And the returning wife's body is as healthy as ever, and today as a guest, she is even more red.
The hairpins who assisted Zhengbin were Miss Mei Shuying and Mei Er of Zhan Shifu, and Miss Leng Bingxiang Leng of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.
After Jing Xue and Mingyue bathed separately, they changed into Luo Yi long skirts, Jing Xue was still as elegant and generous as ever, wearing a snow-blue carved silk tufted flower gown, a mouse-gray woven pleated skirt, and elegant white magnolia flowers embroidered with silver threads; The bright moon is delicate and glamorous, with a Shu embroidered jacket skirt, the neckline and hem are coiled with pearl-colored silk, the morning light sweeps, and the dark lines of the folded branches and begonias are faintly blooming all over the body.
The two sisters are both black-haired, and the powder is light.
After worshipping his parents, he bowed to the old lady Yingying, who was the guest of honor. The old lady smiled with satisfaction, and Mei Shuying and Leng Bingxiang, who were standing on both sides of her at this time, stepped forward to clean their hands, and at this time Wei brought a silver plate containing hairpins.
After opening the red silk on the silver plate, Mei Shuying almost couldn't hold back a "huh", but Leng Bingxiang and Wei looked at each other and smiled.
Mei Shuying was puzzled because a few days ago, when they came, Mrs. Gui showed them the hairpin that was used as the two girls and the ceremony of today's ceremony, which were two hairpins of the same material inlaid with gems and gold carvings and folded branch patterns, but the color of the pattern and the gems was slightly different. The eldest lady returns to Jingxue with purple cat's eye gemstones, and the carved ones are clusters of lilacs; The second lady returns to the bright moon is inlaid with fiery coral, and the carved is a stacked petal begonia flower.
But right now, the one that returns to Jingxue has not changed, but the one that returns to Mingyue has changed.
It has become a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, the begonia flower is inlaid with white jade, the white jade is the best at a glance with water, it is faintly visible from the winding of the gold wire, the begonia flower branch is entangled to the hairpin head and gathers into a flying phoenix with a head high, the flying phoenix has a trace of tassel in its mouth, and the tassel falls with several begonia flowers the size of soybean grains, the petals are made of red gold, and the center of the flower is dotted with smaller red gemstones...... The end is exquisite and ingenious, rich and compelling.
When Leng Bingxiang put this hairpin on Gui Mingyue's newly combed Ruyi bun, all the guests couldn't help but gasp, not to mention how dazzling and glorious the hairpin of a fairy-like person returned home, only that the hairpin ring of the flying phoenix itself could not be worn by ordinary people.
Gui Jingxue looked at the hairpin on her sister's head in a daze, especially at the phoenix that was about to fly, and a determination and desire that had never risen in Gui Jingxue's heart before.
The old lady naturally knew what the guests were thinking, and immediately said to the Yu family with a smile: "I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Jihou Mansion is also a person with a heart, and you can be regarded as a good family affair." ”
Yu Shi knew that what she said was for everyone to hear, and immediately said happily: "I just hope that Yue'er can go to Nahou Mansion in the future to be safe and happy, but speaking of this gold-inlaid jade phoenix, Young Master Ji really has a heart." ”
Oh, it turns out that this Feifeng hairpin was given to his daughter-in-law by the young master Ji of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, so it makes sense. There was a hint of envy in the eyes of the guests, especially the young girls who had not yet said goodbye.
Especially Miss Lin Zhanmei, the eldest lady of the restaurant, this time she came to invite herself, just to see what kind of scenery this rebellious Miss Gui Er is.
It's just that I didn't expect that Ji Gongzi would personally hand over the hairpin on the ceremony, and it was still such a luxurious and dazzling one.
This person, the former and the latter second, Miss Gui has such a blessing! Lin Zhanmei gritted her teeth secretly, the bustle over there was full of everyone's blessings and flattery, and the ceremony had not yet been completed, and she withdrew.
The coming day is long, return to the bright moon, let's see.
"Big brother, if it weren't for the hairpin you sent, I thought you really didn't pay attention to my sister......" Ji Yunlang said with a hint of joy in his tone.
"Which eye do you see that I don't value her anymore." Ji Yunyi interrupted patiently and said, "In the future, she will be your sister-in-law, what is your sister-in-law." ”
"If you really value her, why did you give some ordinary jewelry, cloth, and even wine, fish and other mundane things...... At the time of the levy, it was only two thousand taels of silver. ”
"These, aren't they?" Ji Yunyi was puzzled, after all, he was a man, and he was away all the year round, where did he understand these mundane etiquette.
"Don't understand? I don't think you care. ”
Ji Yunyi was silent for a while, and finally turned cold and said, "Me and her, it's not as simple as you think. ”
"What? Didn't you marry her because you wanted her? ”
"Who said I liked her, but to avenge her stupidity at the time." Ji Yunyi sneered.
Oh, you scumbag! Ji Yunlang was angry, but he only dared to scold his mother in his heart, and later felt that it was not okay to scold his mother.
After all, two people, the same mother.
The next day, Wei got up early and dressed up, and sent his newly married husband out as usual.
"It's Steward Ji, why are you here?" Gui Chengzhi couldn't help asking, and looked at Steward Ji's hand again.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Steward Ji's face, but he quickly adjusted back, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "I have seen the eldest prince, and I am under the order of the eldest young master, come, come...... Nacai and Nazheng. ”
"Nacai and Nazheng?" When Wei heard this, he didn't think he laughed out loud: "Butler Ji, aren't you old Mo sleepy, as the six gifts of marriage, how can there be a piece of these two gifts, besides, hasn't your family already performed the gifts of Nacai and Nazheng?" ”
Steward Ji is also worried in his heart, the eldest young master of his own family has always been an unruly, and does not do things according to common sense, this is not yesterday I suddenly went back and lost my temper, threw myself two live geese, and threw over the silver ticket of the whole clothes box, said to let go to the silver village to exchange it into gold bills, let it be sent home the next day, in addition to a box of boxes, I don't know what it is, let it be sent together......
This Ji Gongzi is really as rumored to be, he is an unobtrusive gentleman! Gui Chengzhi couldn't help frowning and shaking his head, he couldn't do anything about this, so he had to turn back and go to the main courtyard and give Gui Hongyuan and Yu.
The eldest prince has been a demon king since he was a child, but he can't offend him, so he is afraid of being rejected when he returns home, so Steward Ji hurriedly ordered someone to take advantage of this box to carry this box of gifts to the main courtyard. In a hurry, he panicked, and the two geese in his hands broke free from one of them, and they were flying around the courtyard where people were returning home, but fortunately, they had cut their general wings and could not fly high...... When Steward Ji went to catch it, the other one also took the opportunity to break free.
Gui Mingyue will accompany his father and mother to have breakfast, and as soon as he left the gate of the main courtyard, he saw two huge birds flying towards him......
"Oops!" Gui Mingyue covered her face and screamed.
Li Mobai, who rushed to hear the news, flew up, grabbed two birds one by one in one hand, and only heard the "quack" twice, and the wild goose's neck was twisted off.
"Ahh Oh my God," Butler Ji's face instantly turned to ashes, this is the eldest young master's goose......
After listening to Gui Chengzhi's report, Gui Hongyuan and Yu, who hurried out, came out and saw this chaotic scene.
Gui Chengzhi hurriedly helped up Steward Ji, who was sitting on the ground and wanted to cry without tears, Steward Ji bowed deeply to Gui Hongyuan and Yu, and then hid his face and left.
Yu was in a daze, and Wei and Yin Shen'er had already counted the boxes of things.
"Mother, the gifts sent by the Jihou Mansion this time are: red gold phoenix hairpins, gold collars, gold arm skulls, these gold heads, a total of sixty pieces. Those are a total of 80 horses of palace brocade silk, 40 horses of Shu embroidered silk, and 100 horses of other colored silks. One hundred and twenty pieces of clothes for the four seasons......" Wei swallowed, and continued in a deep voice that could only be found after breakfast:
"Gold bills, 10,000 taels."
