Article 1397
Qingyi saw the ninth lady He Ciji, I didn't see her last time in the housewarming of the third room, I heard that her daughter Yuan Huiying has made a marriage with a military general, which is also given by the queen mother, it is a steproom, and there are three concubines and two children in the family.
It is estimated that she will get married in the next few days, Qingyi can't tell how happy or sad she is from the eyes of Mrs. Jiu, Yuan Huiying and Qingyi don't have a deep friendship, so she has become a bargaining chip, Qingyi doesn't care if she is happy or not.
Everyone has their own way to go, and they all have their own marriages in life that must be passed, Qingyi doesn't want to change, otherwise the cause and effect of changing fate will probably have to be borne by himself with blessings.
Qingyi entered the bride's house, because it was the sisters who got married at the same time, and the dowry had been placed in two groups outside, and Qingyi entered the room Yuan Huihua and Yuan Huili's bridal makeup had been completed, and they almost covered their red hijabs.
Today's second lady doesn't have such a big thorn, looking at the two daughters are tearful, Mama Shui and Mama Shang put the two exquisite gift boxes in front of Yuan Huihua and Yuan Huili, Qingyi said: "The two younger sisters are married, Yuxi has not been at home recently, how can I, the sister-in-law, come over to congratulate me, this is a makeup gift for the two sisters, I hope not to dislike the gift." ”
Shui Mama and Shang Mama opened the gift box at the same time, the light of red gold and red jade appeared at the same time, and there was a small range of vibration in the room, Yuan Huihua and Yuan Huili were also a little surprised by Qingyi's big stroke, I thought it was not as salty as Sanfang.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Yuan Huihua could only look at Qingyi and said with mixed emotions: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
Looking at everyone's eyes, Yuan Huihua could only look at Qingyi and said with mixed emotions: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
Qingyi's lukewarm attitude towards Yuan Huihua was not strange at all, but the other relatives and brides in the room felt that Yuan Huihua was a little cold, although it was not rude, but it didn't know what was going on, and it felt a little strange.
The lively atmosphere in the house was much colder for a while, and Yuan Huili was very happy to see the pattern of pomegranate flowers in the box, who wouldn't want to spread the branches and leaves for her husband's family?
So Yuan Huili said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Qingyi said lightly: "No thanks, this is a makeup gift for you, and I also wish you to go to your husband's house and be harmonious, raise your eyebrows, grow old together, and spread your branches." ”
Yuan Huihua and Yuan Huili finally showed the shy expression of the bride, and they were still happy to see these two sets of heads in their eyes, no matter what Qingyi was, this gift was really a big gift.
Even the old lady Diao doesn't have such good things anymore, but the two sisters can understand, after all, all the good things in the palace were here in Qingyi and Yuan Yuxi.
Thinking of this, Yuan Huihua's expression was a little special, she didn't expect Qingyi to come over with a generous gift today, and even thought that Qingyi would be good if she could come today.
Looking at Qingyi's outfit again, it is indeed beautiful, and the country is captivating, whether it is the material of the clothes, or the workmanship, as well as the crystal Zhu Hai that is difficult to buy, it makes the two sisters not know whether to be jealous or envious.
Compared with Qingyi's appearance, even if they are brides, they can't be compared with Qingyi, so Yuan Huihua's eyes when she looks at Qingyi are more complicated, that kind of hatred, resentment, envy and jealousy, and even some faint admiration.
But when all this was seen by Qingyi, Yuan Huihua lowered his head and covered it up, in fact, Qingyi had seen it a long time ago, but he was interrupted by such a straightforward and uncomfortable look.
Yuan Huihua looked at Qingyi and the happier she was now, the more complicated the feeling in her heart became, she thought that they would be depressed without the throne, or they would be depressed and borrow wine to kill their sorrows, but they didn't see anything.
She used to be a lady in Kyoto, the eldest daughter of the second room of the Pingyuan Palace, her mother loved her, her grandmother liked it, and in the circle of noble women in Kyoto, in addition to the royal princess, she was the most popular.
All the good things in the palace are delicious, delicious, fun, and even all the good things that my father and mother once got from the big house, which are equally divided by their sisters, and they are really rich people.
But since Qingyi married into the palace, her world has plummeted, first of all, her mother's reputation has been ruined, and then her father has also been ruined, and even the root of her body has been injured, and her brothers are not allowed to enter the official career again.
Father's mother's years of careful planning have gone down the drain, the whole family has been impoverished by Qingyi, and the dowry she has accumulated for many years is gone, and this feeling of not knowing whether hatred or what makes Yuan Huihua very uncomfortable.
Now that she is getting married and ready to start a new life, Yuan Huihua looks at the meager dowry and feels very uncomfortable.
If her dowry is still there today, she will definitely be married in a beautiful way, she has not forgotten Qingyi's gorgeous wedding dress and the dowry that will not be used up for several lifetimes.
There is also the beautiful implication of I love you for a lifetime, all these Yuan Huihua want to surpass, including Yuan Huili is also in such a mood, meeting Qingyi is really their family is unlucky, all the good days are over, the daughter of the second room of the palace is now just the daughter of a five-grade official, this difference in the sky, it is really a sigh that life is like a play!
The two of them sighed there, Mama Shui wanted to make a move several times, but Qingyi stopped it in secret, just look at it, and you can't miss a piece of meat, what's the big deal.
At this time, Yuan Huihua suddenly walked over and whispered beside Qingyi: "Don't worry, Qingyi, I am married today, I will be the young grandmother of the Beiding Marquis Mansion, and the future will definitely be better than yours." ”
Yuan Huili also joined in the fun and said: "Me too, Qingyi, don't worry, I will definitely surpass you." ”
The two sisters held their heads high proudly, and they couldn't be beaten, Qingyi didn't say no, and dealt with it with a light smile.
In my heart, I feel that where did I come from the young grandmother of the Beiding Hou Mansion, how can you be the young master of the Beiding Hou Mansion, if it is really so shabby?
Of course, Qingyi couldn't say this now, but Qingyi didn't expect all this to come too suddenly!
At this time, there was a "crackling" firecracker sound outside, and the children shouted outside the door: "The groom is here, the groom is here." The bride hurriedly put a red hijab on the bride's head and put the apple symbolizing good luck in the hands of the two sisters.
Put on the bride's gold collar or something, but I don't know why this playful atmosphere suddenly became quiet, Yuan Huili and Yuan Huihua didn't understand what was going on outside, and they were a little nervous.
Because the aunt who greeted the relatives came, so the bride was planning to go out with the two brides on her back, and this time she also stopped, watching the changes, and the two sisters suddenly didn't know how to continue, and sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.
Over there, a housekeeper from outside hurriedly came in and said, "Second lady, second master, you two can go out and have a look." ”
The second old man, Yuan Qixuan, scolded: "What are you doing in a panic on the day of great joy? Are there any rules? ”
The housekeeper said: "Second master and second lady, the uncle outside is here, but it is too shabby, the two young masters outside can't pay attention, so I specially asked the old slave to invite the two to come over and have a look." ”
At this time, the crowd hula went outside, and Qingyi was also squeezed out, since someone invited us to watch the free show, we won't go in vain.
Qingyi followed everyone outside, and saw two sparse teams of greeting relatives, as well as the thin and shapeless horse, Qingyi was a little dumbfounded?
Obediently, where is the trouble in these two rooms? This person is a tall man who greets his relatives, what's the deal with two skinny ones?
Although the two grooms look okay, not handsome or ugly, medium posture, but the people who greet the relatives are indeed too few, the two sides together are only fifty or sixty people, plus the blowing, I am afraid that the bride's dowry is not enough for manpower.
When the second lady Diao Nan saw this scene, her eyes almost went dark, and Mama Yin hurriedly supported the second lady in front of her and said, "Second lady, you are the housewife, if you faint at this time, what will the two young ladies do?" ”
The second lady came and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Dare to disturb our marriage with the He family? Say it! ”
The second old man, Yuan Qixuan, originally planned to marry his two daughters, banquet some officials, and bring some benefits to his career, but this unbelievable scene occurred.
The second old man Yuan Qixuan, who was recuperating during that time, probably had a spectrum in his heart when he looked at this situation, I am afraid that the second lady, the mother-in-law, could not know people clearly.
The second old man Yuan Qixuan said: "You two hairy boys, don't deceive our mansion is not the palace and be presumptuous, tell you that this official is still a five-grade official, and you can't be teased, what about the matchmaker, where is the official media, who is this family?" We are married to the two children of the He family's relatives He Zhi's family, and the marriage book is clearly written, one of the two children is called He Mingwei and the other is He Zhiwei. ”
The official media is an old woman, and she also broke out in a cold sweat when she saw this occasion, if there was a suspicion of cheating on marriage, her official media would have done it.
The two young men immediately came down and knelt on the ground and said, "Father-in-law, please accept the worship of the younger son-in-law." ”
The two of them kowtowed respectfully three times, and the taller man stood up and said: "My father-in-law's father-in-law's father's name is He Zhi, and my son-in-law's name is He Mingwei, this is my son-in-law's younger brother He Zhiwei, and my grandmother is in Beiyuan in Beidinghou's Mansion and my mother-in-law set up a marriage for us, with jade pendant as proof." ”
This He Mingwei is smart, and directly took out the token of the second lady, and the second lady exploded in her head......
It's over, it's over, how can this happen? The second lady asked unwillingly: "You are talking nonsense, your grandmother said that she was a third-generation family member with the Beiding Marquis Mansion, and promised a dowry of seventy-two lifts, and now that you appear like this, how can you be the descendants of the wealthy He family, let alone the relatives of the relatives." ”
He Zhiwei couldn't stand this idle and said: "My mother-in-law is so interesting, our father and mother are all relatives of the He family, and my grandmother is like sisters to the old lady of Beiding Houfu, but our clan is indeed self-reliant, and we are generally unwilling to cause trouble for Beiding Houfu, so our clan is all Qingshui's generation, and our grandmother taught us to have the ability to be self-reliant to be good children and grandchildren, what is the use of relying on the clan to be blind?" ”
He Mingwei also followed: "Our grandmother is quite liked by the old lady of Beiding Hou Mansion, so she is often close to Beiding Hou Mansion Beiyuan to live, just next to Beiyuan is the courtyard of the Plains Palace, this family matter is set by my mother-in-law, our dowry is also sent early, the six rites are only the wedding etiquette, what does this mean when the auspicious time is wrong?" ”
The second master roughly understands that the second lady is a fool, and she has been calculated by others, and she can't say that she was calculated by others, it should be said that she was fooled by others, and she is self-reliant, and it is not that all the silver is given to the Beiding Marquis Mansion, and there is nothing left after being skinned.
Thanks to them, they also prepared a dowry of seventy-two lifts, although they tried their best, but the effect was average, but now I saw this welcoming team, but I exalted them.
The second lady Diao Nan seemed to be unable to accept the whole reality and muttered: "No, it's impossible, it was the old lady of the Beiding Hou Mansion who received me, and it was the descendants of the most powerful clan in the Beiding Hou Mansion, it's not you or you, it's wrong, it's definitely wrong." ”
The second lady walked back in a panic and stumbled on the threshold at once, and Yuan Huihua and Yuan Huili, who had followed the bride out of the door, also fainted when they saw the scene outside.
This time, I originally planned to let the people in the other rooms take a look, and their second room climbed into a good marriage, but it turned out to be such a big joke, He Mingwei said unhappily: "Father-in-law, I don't know if this marriage is going to continue?" Our He family has done their best, you said that you want to raise the dowry of seventy-two, and we have done it, if it weren't for this, our father and mother would be tired and sick, and the family could take out all the things that could be taken out. Our grandmother has always said that she is a distant relative, and there is no intention of deception, could it be that my mother-in-law herself wants to be bad? ”
He Zhiwei said: "My brother's family is too deceitful, and a good marriage will be delayed. If it is successful, welcome the relatives immediately, and if it is not successful, all the gifts of the dowry and the three media and six hires will be returned. ”
This He Zhiwei can be regarded as grasping the weakness of the second master, after getting the dowry, because of the matter of the throne of the palace, the second master moved a lot of dowry, especially the thousands of taels of silver at the bottom of the box, and now it is still not possible.
There is also the eldest son who wants to marry the concubine of the Beiding Marquis Mansion, this dowry can't be too shabby, originally he still wondered why the He family's relatives are fat, why the dowry is not too good, it turns out that this is the case.
As soon as the second master heard this, he immediately said: "This marriage has been finalized, maybe there is any misunderstanding in the middle, but this etiquette still has to be done, it has to be done, play music quickly!" ”
The joy was blowing ticking, and the second lady and her two daughters were already crying and sitting in a mess, and the second master scolded when he entered the door: "What howl on the day of great joy? Give me honesty, the marriage that should be married, and the sedan chair that should be on the sedan chair. ”
The second lady Diao Nan also came to grab the second old man Yuan Qixuan and said: "Master, this is your daughter who has been hurting like a jewel in your heart for more than ten years, you look at that family's shabby thin horse and thin sedan chair, how can you marry your daughter to them?" ”
The second lady cried heartbreakingly, and the second master slapped the second lady in the face and said: "Stop, you still have the face to cry, it was you who mysteriously set the marriage, and it is not strange that there is such a situation today, if the two daughters are blamed, blame you, the son-in-law just said outside, if you don't get married, you can return the dowry and all the gifts, can you pay it back?" ”
The second lady stopped crying, as soon as she heard that the silver was returned, she stopped cooking, the silver and a lot of dowry gifts were used, and some of them gave a small gift to the Beiding Marquis Mansion, how could they get it back?
