When the first month of the first month was opened, Li Han handed over Li Yi's marriage to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites, according to the royal will, asked the senior monks to pick a date in May and set it on the sixth day of the fifth month, so Yanran's wedding date was officially set1. ……

Li Yizhen sent people to Anzhou at the end of March and picked up Shen, Zeng Ruixiang and Zilu's family. Ziyu's family came over as early as the first month, but because Xia Ganyong's grandmother was old, this time, Mrs. Xia and her husband did not come with them, and stayed in their hometown to take care of Mrs. Xia.

The Liu family has already sent the things to add makeup to Yanran, these four uncles and an aunt, each family has six lifts, and the Shen family has purchased sixteen lifts separately, in addition to clothing and jewelry, there are also six high-quality camphor wood boxes specially brought from their hometown, and six Nanmu kang screens of various colors, four of which are made of natural mica stone flower noodles 1.

This is Zishou in the past two years to travel all over the vicinity of Anzhou to find, he also carved two small rockery potted plants for Yanran, using natural mica stone, the shape is peculiar, the pattern is unique, and it is really loved by Yanran. Of course, Zishou also made a few big good wood ornaments, and this time they all brought them from Anzhou.

Zixi has not been idle in the past two years, and the glass factory has specially developed a large glass dressing mirror with a bracket, a glass kang screen, crystal ornaments, etc., and has also made up more than ten units.

Of course, Lin Kangping has not forgotten to find a good dowry for Yanran in recent years, such as jade calligraphy and painting, such as fine wood, such as natural granite and marble, which are used to embed in high chairs, these things are piled up in a warehouse, plus Ziqing has done several large embroidery jobs in recent years, Ziqing is rough and rough, and this Yanran's dowry is more than 200 lifts.

On the second day of the fifth month, Yongqin, Yongzhi and Wen Lin came to see Yanran, and said enviously: "The fourth sister only got married in the autumn of the old year, and this dowry is much worse than that of the eldest cousin." ”

Yongxuan got married before Ziqing and they came back, and she married a five-grade Jingguan family in the capital, which was not bad, at that time, Chu Chu was in charge and sent a few things for Ziqing, of course, she didn't forget to add makeup to a thousand taels of silver. After Ziqing came back, she added a few more things and sent them to be delivered.

Yongzhi said with a smile: "Not to mention the fourth sister, those three sisters add a piece, I'm afraid that my cousin's dowry is not worth much, this, it can't be compared, my father said, this family can have today, it all depends on my aunt." ”

"No, my father also said this, no, in the past two years, I have carved a dowry for my cousin at home." Yongqin smiled and squeezed his eyes.

"I'm going to die, the fourth sister is not at home, just you two hooves are here to bully me, see if I don't clean you up." Yan Ran said and stretched her hand into Yongqin's neck.

The three of them teased each other on the side, Yongqin was also of age, Yang and Zishou entrusted Zifu and Liu to help pay attention, and were looking at Yongqin, striving to get married this year, Yongzhang is following Shuwei overseas, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the end of the year, so this family affair can only be Yongqin 1. Yongzhi is still young, only fourteen years old, as old as Wen Lin.

"Wen Lin, why don't you play with us?" Yan Ran saw Wen Lin standing on the side, so she asked.

"Wen Lin has been in Shanxi for a few years, can she be alienated from us? When you were young, weren't you always together? Yongqin also asked.

"I remember, I will be in Shanxi, but I miss you all."

"And what did you just think?" Yongzhi asked dissatisfied.

"I thought, Sister Yanran got married, is it the turn of the fifth cousin, it's easy for me to come back, but you all leave here one by one, I feel uncomfortable, I also miss the fourth cousin." Wen Lin said.

"Don't worry, you haven't been around for two years, but when the eldest sister was there, she still took us to sing, and at that time, we were all in the back garden, how lively and happy we were." Yan Ran recalled.

"Why don't you send a post to them, eldest cousin, and invite them to come back as guests, and everyone will get together together, okay?" Wen Lin said.

"Forget it, if I make a post, they should laugh at me and wait for them to add makeup, and they should always come." Yanran thought for a moment and said.

"Who says we should be here to put on your makeup?" Yongxuan came in with her belly, she was already five or six months pregnant.

"Fourth sister, do you have a tailwind? We were just about to send someone to pick you up, and you came. Yongzhi clapped his hands and laughed.

"How dare I not come? No, everyone is worried, I said, we people add a piece, and we are not as rich as you, and you are still worried about us poor people to add makeup to you, I can tell you, the fourth sister has nothing good. Yongxuan stepped forward and pinched Yanran's little face1.

Yanran was about to fight back against her.

"I'm a big-bellied woman, you won't even bully a big-bellied woman, right?" Yongxuan hurriedly took two steps back, and the maid who came with her helped her.

"Hmph, you wait, when you're done, I can't spare you." Yan Ran had to stop, but she stretched out her hand, "Bring it, what good things?" ”

"What good things can I have? Well, here you go. Yongxuan took a box from the maid's hand, opened it and saw that it was actually four cute little dolls, carved from mutton fat jade, the four of them sat or lay down or stood or squatted, with different expressions, clear and realistic, and even the eyelashes on the face could be counted.

Yanran saw that she really liked it, Yongxuan smiled and said: "Cousin, you will be born like this, like your aunt, and you will also give birth to four sons in one go." ”

"If you want to die, you dare to say anything nonsense when you get married?" Yongqin asked from the side.

"No, if it weren't for the sake of the child in your belly, I wouldn't have tore your mouth up today." Yanran glanced at Yongxuan.

"Whose mouth are you going to tear?" Yonglian and Yongling Yongrong came in.

"It's really complete today, and I don't need to pick it up from the next post." Wen Lin said with a smile.

"Can she think of picking us up? Isn't it thinking about our stuff? Yongling was familiar with Yanran and said a joke.

"It's not, she still lacks good things? Since she was a child, she used to play, which one was not picked by someone else, I was surprised, you say, how old is that brother-in-law? I know that I am good to Sister Yanran, other people, he has never looked at it, I am not convinced when I think of it, you say, on the day of marriage, we should think of a way, embarrassed him. Yongrong said.

"No, I agree. When we came back, we thought about it, and after thinking about it, we told each other, but we couldn't tell my sister. Yonglian also smiled.

"Big cousin, when you got married, we didn't feel sorry for the eldest brother-in-law1." Yan Ran hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yonglian's clothes.

"You see, people haven't passed yet, their hearts have already passed, and we are not ashamed." Yonglian tapped Yanran's eyebrows with her index finger.

Yongzhi and Wen Lin listened on the side, and they both shaved their faces at Yanran, and Yanran chased them all over the house, and the laughter spread to several courtyards outside.

Li Ping heard it in the yard and asked Shuyu: "My sister is playing at home like this, won't my mother be angry?" ”

Seeing the envy on her face, Shuyu took her hand with pity and said, "If you want to play like this, my mother won't care about you, these days, don't you understand?" I don't really have these rules in my house. Anyway, when my sister becomes a parent, you and I will go to Songjiang Mansion to live for a while, you are the biggest in the house, and you can live whatever you want. ”

"But, can I go so far like this?" Li Ping touched her stomach.

"Also, if you go, I still have to be distracted and worry about you, so it's better for you to stay at home, and I'll come back to accompany you after I settle things over there." Shuyu also put his hand on Li Ping's stomach.

"Xianggong, you, do you want to take someone with you?" Li Ping asked in a low voice.

"Bringing someone? Who to bring? The four of them had already gone first. Shuyu didn't understand for a while.

"I mean, women."

Shuyu looked at Li Ping's expression, and finally understood what she said, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

"My family has no convention of marrying a child, even my brother-in-law has given up marrying a child, and you still have to arrange this for me? Are you not jealous in your heart? You tell me, are you really not jealous in your heart? ”

"I, I thought men were like my father?"

"You haven't been loved by your father since you were a child, in the future, I love you, don't worry, I won't leave you alone, in this family, you can do whatever you want and whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will depend on you 1." Shuyu hugged Li Ping in his arms, and after a while, his chest was wet.

After dinner, Chu Chu and the Fang family came to ask Li Ping to add makeup to Yanran, the rules of the Lin family, after the big one got married, it was 10,000 taels of silver to add makeup to the small one, of course, things were not counted.

Li Ping is also a rich woman now, Ziqing also gave them a share after the year, according to Shuyu's meaning, she didn't want the 300,000 taels of silver at home, but Ziqing meant that Li Ping had suffered all these years, and she had a little silver ticket in her hand, and she must be more down-to-earth.

Shuyu accepted the silver, but he said that he used the money to open a factory, even if the five of their brothers and sisters became shareholders, the dividends in the future would be given to everyone, and he didn't want other property in the family.

Chu Chu and a few went to Yanran's yard, and it happened that the Liu family also came, and the things were sent early, this time for the silver ticket.

"It's better to be my eldest niece, this marriage, the silver at the bottom of the box is tens of thousands of taels, and your mother is not allowed to give you hundreds of thousands of taels, in this life, it is enough to eat lying down." Liu said with a smile.

"My sister gave Yanran all the shares of the glass factory, this is enough for my niece to spend." Fu Shi smiled.

"Oh, what do I have to do when I marry my daughter in the future?" Ziyu was worried.

"What is the little sister worried about? This can't be compared, my daughters, aren't all 20,000 taels of silver out of the house. Liu smiled.

"That's not the case, so is my family, that's good, and that's how ordinary people are. Who doesn't do things with their purses? Chan said.

"Next, it's my family's turn to be Yongqin." Yang said with a smile, in the past two days, the Liu family has shown her a squire, a squire, the ancestor has also been an official, the family is well-off, and the other party has also taken a fancy to the power of the Zeng family. The boy himself also came back from studying in the West, and he was Shuyu's classmate, so he hit it off.
