Ninety-eight: Proposal
Sheng Changyu and Su Qianyao's eight characters are really a good match, and the county lord of Shuyang immediately laughed out loud and praised Su Qianyao for being a good person.
The wedding date is scheduled for mid-April, from the kiss to Su Mansion to pick up Su Qianyao, and then to the Sheng family chapel, at that time the weather will warm up a lot, warmer than now, no snow and no rain, if it is a little hotter The bride's wedding dress is like wearing a suit of armor on the body, tired, stuffy and hot, set in April, it is the most suitable.
However, Qin Manhuai was still sad, and felt that April was too early, wasn't it a blink of an eye?
She sent a letter to the Cheng family, and she could arrive in about three or four days, and invited her sister and brother-in-law and Cheng Tao to come to Xunjing two days before the day of the eldest daughter's marriage, and live directly in the Su family's mansion.
After the second-room Su Hui's family moved out, the house can be said to be much more spacious.
Now it is necessary to draw up a list of guests, as well as things for marriage, etiquette, food, etc., and send out the posts in advance, so that those who receive the posts on the day of marriage can arrive in time.
In addition to the Cheng family, there is also Su Qianyao's maternal grandfather's family, Lingzhou Houfu.
Su Qianyao only has a maternal grandmother, not a maternal grandfather, because her maternal grandfather passed away a few years ago, and in addition to this, she has an uncle, who is Qin Manhuai's younger brother, named Qin Xunteng.
However, his life was not smooth, he was originally good-looking, and he also had knowledge, and when he saw that he was showing his skills on the battlefield, he had already made a marriage, and later made a carriage with his father, and fell off the cliff, and his father died on the spot, and he also knocked his head.
Fortunately, he is not stupid, he is still smart and knowledgeable, but he has a long scar on his forehead, and his legs and feet are not very sharp, so the family that was married before quit with him.
Later, he married the daughter of his mother's maiden cousin, a few years have passed, it doesn't hinder anything, it doesn't matter if you live a normal life, it's just that the men with the marquis are inevitably going to the battlefield, Qin Xun Teng is a martial artist, but how can the battlefield want a person with a weak leg?
But no matter what, this title also fell to Qin Xunteng, he took his wife to Northern Xinjiang, where he became a military advisor in a tent, and he could lead the soldiers to fight without leaving home.
This time he rarely went home, Lingzhou Hou Mansion is not far from Yangzhou Hou Mansion, it is estimated that if Qin Xunteng can come this time, he should come with the people of the Cheng family, if he can't come, then it must be his grandmother.
There is also Qingde Houfu, Qin Manhuai has a good relationship with the eldest lady Gao, and she will definitely come when her eldest daughter gets married, as well as her two sons, and her daughter He Nianning.
The rest of the magnates are basically related to the Sheng family, and the banquet is generally held at the man's house, so naturally it is a banquet for the Sheng family, and Qin Manhuai can also relax it.
Seeing that Su Qianyao was about to marry into the high gate, Su Huiyao couldn't sit still at all at this time, and begged Cao Qianlian several times to let Cao Qianlian think of an idea.
"What are you urging? I already have a way, this time I will definitely make Su Qianyao's slut unable to turn over! ”
"You only say that there is a way, but you don't say what the method is, isn't I in a hurry!" Su Huiyao snorted and sat next to Cao Qianlian.
The handkerchief was embroidered with delicate peach blossoms with silk threads, but at this time, Su Huiyao had no time to care about the loveliness of the peach blossoms, so she only used the handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Cao Qianlian didn't want to see her like this, so she put aside her hand and walked straight out of the door and went back to her room.
Su Yao delivered messages everywhere in the evening, saying that Shu Xuexue would come back to class in a few days.
For Su Huiyao, this was even more of a blow to the head, only to hit her dizzy.
"There are people in the house who do happy events, why do you have to be angry with that nerd?"
Su Yuyao didn't want to go to class either, so she kicked the leg of the chair with her foot angrily, "That Shu scholar is not a good person at first glance, what is his daughter doing with a book all day long?" So why didn't Nengnei see her go to the scientific expedition? I think it's clear that no man likes it, and she can't afford to eat before she goes to teach, and her father still treats her as a treasure! ”
Hearing this, Su Huiyao's heart felt better, but when she thought of Su Qianyao's marriage, she frowned again.
"Brother Yu is such a beautiful man, how can Su Qianyao's sick man be worthy? It's just that the eight characters are still compatible, and if you want me to see that idiot who is in line with the eight characters, the eldest lady must have spent money to hire him to make the lord of Shuyang happy! ”
"I heard that the eight-character combination was brought by the county lord of Shuyang..."Su Yuyao reminded.
"So what? If it is my eight characters, I don't know how much more suitable than her Su Qianyao! How long can her body, which has to die in less than two years, make Brother Yu like it? ”
"That being said, but the wedding date of the two is approaching, what can you do?"
Su Huiyao looked at the third sister, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she said listlessly, "Mother said that she has a way, but I am panicked, if the sedan chair is carried out of our house like this, I will not live!" ”
Fluttershy, the maid, hurriedly advises, "Girl, shut up, you are so unlucky to die!" ”
"I..."Su Huiyao wiped a handful of tears, "I just like Brother Yu, is it wrong?" I've found out now that none of the aristocratic sons in Dijing are as good as Brother Yu, but he just likes Su Qianyao's cheap thing, I..."
As she spoke, she slammed the table hard.
Songyin washed and dried a few of her girl's handkerchiefs, which should have been the work of a second-class maid, but she was used to it, and she couldn't do it for a while.
There is a piece of jujube red in the veil, and this water becomes brown, and the lotus lotus color embroidered butterfly handkerchief turns gray, and Song Yin can't help but sigh that this handkerchief really fades so badly? Isn't it cheap?
What she didn't know was that this handkerchief was a bargain that Li Xi and the girl had gone out to play with in recent years, just to make it fresh, Su Yunyao was sad when she found out at this time, and she smelled a musty smell on the handkerchief that had been put for a long time, so she was reluctant to throw it away, so she asked Songyin to take it and wash it.
Su Jinyao came to Qinzhuxuan and said that she wanted to talk to a few sisters.
Song Yin got up and wiped her hands, "Nine girls, please, slave maid will go and call the girls." ”
Liu Ya and Lisheng carried a few plates of fruit cakes in and out, and two pots of hot tea were served.
"My mother knew that the fifth sister was about to get married, so she took the silver taels in the dowry and pasted a copy for the fifth sister." Su Jinyao said, "Fifth sister, don't be disgusted, I know that it's not good for you to go in with silver, and she has been converted into silver bills." ”
"How? Although the three ladies' mother's family is a businessman, they can't do this, it's all the dowry of the three ladies, I can't do it! ”
Su Qianyao almost stood up to stop it.
The maid Pan Xia came over and held a square plate, which was covered with a red cloth, and when the red cloth was opened, it was a pair of silk gold bracelets of good color.
"This is the dowry that my mother prepared for my sister and you, I wanted to wait for my sister to get married, but you also know that my mother is a person who can't hide things in her heart, and she muttered a hundred and eighty changes at this time, and I, as a daughter, can only send it to her in advance, so that she can calm down, otherwise I don't have to make up for my sister again!"
Su Moyao laughed: "The third lady treats us the best on weekdays, she protected us when she was a child, and when she grew up, the fifth sister got married and prepared silver money and dowry, the third lady is half of our mother!" ”
Still like this, Su Qianyao could only accept the bracelet, thinking in her heart how she could refuse the silver money given by the third lady when she got married.
The Xiao family of Changjun Wangfu proposed to the Prime Minister again, and similarly, Mu Yanxia did not agree this time.
Mu Yanxia's mother almost blackened her face this time, her family officials are civil officials, and she has always loved her reputation, if her daughter marries such a stubborn child as Xiao Qi, her reputation will definitely be bad.
But the Mu family has known the Sheng family for many years, and they don't look up in the court, and it's not good to have a grudge because of the marriage of their children, so it's impossible to agree to this agreement, and if you refuse, you have to think about it carefully, and try to minimize the matter.
Mu Yanxia sat on the side, quite like a big girl, picked up the teacup without saying a word, quietly, with a little powder on her face, looking at the Yang family, she couldn't wait to let her son marry her home immediately.
"Qi'er and Yanxia have known each other for many years, isn't this also fate?"
Mu Yanxia's mother Xu Shi smiled and responded, "Xia'er has only been married for a short time, I am still reluctant to let her marry so early, old sister, you also know, our Mu family is all men, just Xia'er, a girl, if she marries out of the door so soon, my family officials have to be angry with me for being the master, he loves Xia'er's heart." ”
"How could I not know?" Yang knew that the Xu family was reluctant to do this, but he still said cheekily, "But after all, our two families have different feelings, Yanxia marries into my family and goes back to her parents' house to see it, and other people's mother-in-law may pick this matter, you put your heart in your stomach, Yanxia enters my door, I will love her wholeheartedly and treat her as my own daughter!" ”
Xu admired her spirit of not admitting defeat, but just begging her baby daughter who had been carefully raised for many years was a pipe dream.
"Speaking of which, the two sons of Dingguo Mansion have not yet discussed their relatives, Dingguo Gong said to my family officials a few days ago, if you can hope that Xia'er will enter the door of his house, the sister-in-law of Lu Wangfu has not discussed relatives, when I was a child, Lu Gongzi's mother still had to order dolls with me for the two children, old sister, you see, I can't offend any of them, right? If you want to blame Xia'er, this child is good, there are many people who are worried about it, if it weren't for this, with our friendship, Xia'er would definitely marry into your family! ”
When he said this, the smile on Yang's face immediately froze on his face.
The intention of the Xu family is obvious, the Bai family of Dingguo Gong has old grievances with their Changjun Wang Xiao family, which is all a matter of the older generation, but it has not improved until this time.
Xu's meaning is that she is sandwiched between two families and it is difficult to be a person, and the Yang family is always difficult to force her.
But at this time, the Yang family is also angry enough, even if the Bai family is forgotten, what is the matter with the Lu family? Lu Yuanyi is welcome, and the number of girls who want to marry into Lu Wang's Mansion can't be counted, why did he rob Mu Yanxia with her?
