Chapter 322, Ziyu gets married
In the blink of an eye, the Zixi family came back early to prepare for Ziyu to receive a wedding gift, and on the way back, they picked up Liu and the four children by the way, and Zifu had to wait for a few days. (LeavesΒ·~..)
The date of receiving the bridal gift is set on the sixth day of the lunar month. The day before, Zilu also came back with his family. On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Ziqing saw that the Shen family was too busy, so she sent Xiao Zi over to help cook, Xiao Lu and Xiao Fan both called over to help, and Xia Yu and Qiu Yu also arrived early. Unexpectedly, the Zhou family also followed the Tian family into the door, but Zeng Ruiqing did not follow.
In fact, Zeng Ruiqing also knows that Zeng Ruixiang's personality has changed, and the relationship between the two families cannot be restored to the past, Zeng Ruiqing means to maintain a little peace on the surface as much as possible, as long as the happy events of the two families move around each other, don't let outsiders pick the number of courtesies, so that people who don't know outside will also look down on them, to put it bluntly, they still want to borrow some light, and they don't want to be evil. But Zeng Ruiqing couldn't let go, so he had to send Zhou to come forward.
Therefore, Zhou saw Shen and Ziqing, and said: "Thank you brother and sister and Ziqing, Huihui's father's leg is much better, and the doctor said that he will be able to go out and find something to do in a few more days." β
Shen frowned and did not answer. At this time, Mrs. Fu entered the door, Shen hurriedly greeted her, Fu had already returned to her parents' house when she came back, she had been married for a year, and there was no news about her stomach, Mrs. Fu was a little anxious, so when she saw Shen this time, one was to add makeup to Ziyu, and the other was to explore Shen's tone.
Mrs. Fu pulled Shen and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law can be relieved this time, and the youngest daughter will also be sent out." β
"It's also said that when I gave birth to her, it was like yesterday, and I was about to leave the cabinet in the blink of an eye. This is a mother, scratching her heart and liver. β
"Sister-in-law, this really makes my heart difficult, no, these two children have gone so far. I'm worried, don't you repeat it a few times a day? You said that these two children have been married for a year. Why hasn't there been any movement at all? Isn't there something wrong with that? Mrs. Fu still asked directly.
"Don't worry, it's only been a year, let's not force the child, the more forced, the harder it will be to get pregnant, I've heard a lot of such things." Shen Zhengse said.
When Mrs. Fu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly smiled: "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, and my heart is also in my stomach, do you say it's easy for us to be a mother?" Not to mention the sins we suffered when the child was born, it is easy to grow up, and we have to find a good family. can find it, and worry about whether she will have children or not, when will this be a head? β
Mrs. Fu said as she followed Shen to see Ziyu.
At this time, someone in front of me shouted, "Coming, coming, the bridal gift is coming, preparing firecrackers." β
"See what good things are in the real big city families? We've also seen a long way. Qiu Yu pulled Xia Yu into the garden.
"Haven't you seen the Fu family's dowry? What other insights do you have? It's better to be honest. Xia Yu said.
"That's right, it's true. Keep your mouth in check, and don't say the wrong thing again. Zhou Yunjiang also said to Qiu Yu. After returning that day, Qiu Yu regretted it very much, feeling that she was about to say the wrong thing, and the relationship that was easy to ease up was stiffened again.
In fact. Relaxation is also Qiu Yu's idea, Zeng Ruixiang and Shen didn't think so, how can they change their habits for so many years? No, as soon as I heard Ziyu's dowry a few days ago, the Tian family made a fuss again.
"Less fart, I know, and you still need to tell me again and again? Just take care of yourself. Qiu Yu said to her husband.
"Sister-in-law, you are bullying my aunt again." Liu quipped.
"That's wrongful to kill me, I thought he was verbose, so you listened to what he said." Qiu Yu replied to Liu with a smile.
Yang stood aside with Yongzhang in his arms, with a pure gold inlaid ruby and Huadian sent by Ziqing on his head, Qiu Yu saw it at a glance and asked, "Third nephew and daughter-in-law, do you want a lot of silver for this Bu Shao and Huadian?" It's really good-looking, who bought it for you? β
Qiu Yu still can't change this old problem, when she sees a good thing, she wants to ask for a price, and when she sees a good thing, she wants to touch it. [.]
"I don't know how much silver it is, it was given by my sister, and my husband asked me to wear it, so I put it on." Yang said.
Qiu Yu listened and looked at Ziqing, Ziqing clapped her hands and said, "I don't have anything good worth seeing here." β
"Come on, the gem on your head looks better, and the ring on your hand, is it the legendary emerald?" Qiu Yu took Ziqing's hand and asked.
As he was talking, the first dowry came into the door, and Ziqing took the opportunity to retract his hand.
The dowry is thirty-eight lifts, including eight lifts of the head and face of the jewelry, eight lifts of the four seasons of fabrics, and four lifts of gold and jade Ruyi, but the gift money prepared by the Xia family is six hundred and sixty-six taels, and there are ten pieces of soil, which means one hundred acres of land.
"That's all, it's nothing unusual, and there's a lot of gift money. Don't talk about the Fu family, I think Ziqing's dowry seems to be even better than this. Qiu Yu said with some disappointment.
"You know what? That's different, Ziyu has a field, so it's worth thousands of taels of silver. There are also a lot of gift money, tsk, your second sister-in-law can send it this time. Zhou said.
"What's this? The second sister-in-law will not want it, Ziyu's dowry will not be bad, and the makeup of several brothers and sisters will not be less. Qiu Yu said.
"I said you weren't going to come to the front to greet the guests, what maggots are you chewing here?" The old man heard the conversation between the two, and knew that Yi Zhou's temperament would definitely inquire endlessly and then spread it, so he quickly interrupted the conversation between the two, and glared at Qiu Yu fiercely.
Zhou listened to Qiu Yu's words and was skeptical, and wanted to ask something more, Qiu Yu had already thought of the old man's explanation at this time, and hurriedly found an opportunity to stay away from Zhou.
After Zhou went home in the evening, he told Zeng Ruiqing what Qiuyu said during the day, wondering how much the second family's family had, and said that if his daughter Zihe was alive, shouldn't she also talk about marriage, maybe what kind of scene would it be? It's not necessarily worse than Ziyu, and tears fell as he spoke.
Zeng Ruiqing said impatiently after hearing this: "The wealth and poverty of other people's families are our business, and they are already serious official wives, I can tell you, you don't know how to talk nonsense and hit her." You just have to take care of yourself, our family will be all one, and in two years, it will be time to take the Xiucai exam, and you should tell him to go to school and study is serious. Zhou had to suppress his curiosity for the time being, and had no choice but to respond to her husband's words.
The day of Ziyu's marriage came soon, and Zifu also rushed back the day before. Because Ziyu is the youngest one in the family, his brothers and sisters are living a good life now, so they are not stingy with makeup, on the bright side, they still give Ziyu a hundred silver to press the bottom of the box, and the rest depends on their own minds, Ziqing and Ziyu spend the most time together, and their feelings are different.
In this way, Ziyu's dowry has fifty-two lifts, the Zeng family not only returned the man's 100 acres of paddy field dowry, but also put the 100 acres of paddy fields and the dowry of the two shops on the bright side, eight gold and silver jewelry first shook everyone's eyes, colorful silk and satin, several good porcelain, in addition to various colors of furniture is also good wood, large and small copper basins have eight, one carried out when the villagers on the spot discussed.
"Looking at the bottom of this family, the girls of the Zeng family are not high-climbing, but one is in the city and the other is in the countryside, and the country girl can marry into the official family in the city to be a young grandmother, which is really a blessing." Villager A said.
"What's that? Didn't the Zeng family also marry a young lady from an official family, and the young lady of the official family could marry into the Zeng family, why couldn't the girl of the Zeng family marry into the city? Villager B said.
"Who said that the Zeng family is high? Who is the Zeng family? Two of the four sons in the family are Jinshi officials, and two are also Xiucai, and the only Bai Ding son-in-law is still the richest man in the village. Maybe the man has climbed the Zeng family? Villager C said.
"You forgot? The lady of the showman is Mrs. Wupin, and the Zeng family has two door plaques given by the emperor, and it is said that the second one cannot be found in the entire Anzhou Mansion. The family also has a son who is an official in the provincial capital, and a son who is an official in the capital, how can it be the Zeng family? To say that Gao Pan is also a man's Gao Pan. Villager Ding said.
"That's right, how did I forget about the stubble."
Many relatives and friends of the Xia family who came to marry were also watched in the crowd, and the eyes that were originally a little contemptuous were also corrected, the Zeng family's dowry was indeed unexpected by them, originally thought it was the Zeng family's small peasant family, and provided four scholars, where would there be any family background as a dowry? That's why the Xia family will give more than 600 taels of silver as a dowry, one is to subsidize and the other is to show off, who knows that the Zeng family doesn't need it at all. The brothers and sisters of the Zeng family listened to these discussions, smiled and laughed at each other, and the goal was achieved.
Tian and Zhou watched as they carried the dowry out of the door, their eyes glared out, and their hearts were distressed.
It was the first time that the Zhou family knew that Ziyu's dowry was actually worth thousands of taels of silver, and he just wanted to complain a few words when he pulled Tian, but suddenly remembered Zeng Ruiqing's words, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it. Zeng Ruiqing didn't come over today, because he came over when Zixi got married last time, Zeng Ruixiang didn't receive him, and he didn't introduce anyone to him.
The Zhou family didn't dare to complain to the Tian family, but he wondered in his heart, and he didn't see how the Shen family tossed, Zeng Ruixiang's school was clear and inquired about it, and it was really not profitable, and it was less than a few dozen taels of silver to die all year round, how could he save such a thick family foundation?
The Shen family was also a little surprised to see that the Tian family and the Zhou family were quite safe today, but the Shen family didn't bother to think about them, and was busy greeting Mrs. Fu and a few older elders, as well as a few squire wives in the town. Mrs. Fu also gave face today and accompanied the Shen family to chat with these villagers.
Anyway, Mrs. Fu's arrival definitely earned a little bit of noodles for the Zeng family, and many village women specially squeezed in, just to see the demeanor of the real official wife, usually, where did they have this opportunity? (This site: Your support is my biggest motivation. )
