Looking at Wang Dong, whose face was still pale, Sanniang thought about it and took the lacquer box handed over by Wang Dong with both hands.

"Thank you, father." Sanniang held the box and saluted Wang Dong.

Wang Dong nodded: "You go out." ”

Sanniang retreated according to the order, and as soon as she got out of the main room, she saw Xue coming here with the maid, and the little maid was still holding a cylindrical food box for heat preservation. Sanniang knew that this was to send medicine to Wang Dong.

Xue listened to Sanniang's words last time and asked Wang Dong to go to Imperial Doctor Jiang to detoxify. Imperial Physician Jiang really didn't turn Wang Dong away, and finally prescribed him a prescription, saying that all of them needed to recuperate slowly. So since then, Wang Dong has to drink medicine every day before dinner.

Sometimes Wang Dong had a social scene outside, and the Xue family also asked the place clearly, so he packed the medicine and sent it to Wang Dong. Wang Dongzhi also drank it without saying a word every time.

Sanniang stood under the porch with a smile and saluted to the Xue family and called out to her mother.

Xue Shi felt a little strange when he saw Sanniang standing with a box in her hand: "Didn't the master talk to you?" How are you standing here? ”

Sanniang thought about it, didn't hide it, pulled the Xue family aside, and told Wang Dong about the silver she gave her.

There was no unhappiness on Xue's face, and he said with a smile: "The master went to a place with me, I originally planned to talk to him about your silver pressing, but he thought of it first." ”

Wang Dong really didn't discuss the matter of giving him money with the Xue family, not that he didn't believe in the Xue family, or that he was afraid that his wife would not be good for his children and wanted to subsidize his wife behind his back, but he felt that it was not necessary. Wang Dong looks elegant and gentle, but in fact, machismo is very serious.

Sanniang thought that if there is such a person as a spouse, if you don't want to quarrel, only someone like Xue can be your wife. I don't know if Xuan Shao also has this kind of big man's thinking. If there is, it will have to be treated as soon as possible.

"It's okay to get there like this", Sanniang thought to the three sides. The Xue family leaned over and whispered to Sanniang: "I also prepared three thousand taels of silver for you, but sure enough, the master loves you more." The lord belongs to the lord, and I belong to me. You must also take the money I gave you. ”

Sanniang smiled: "What's wrong today, I think it's the God of Wealth Bodhisattva who loves me more, and they stuff me with silver one by one." I'm afraid I don't want to. ”

Xue Shi chuckled lightly when he heard this, and glared at Sanniang: "You." ”

Sanniang looked at Xue and smiled.

Xue Shi turned around and instructed the maid carrying the box to bring the medicine in and give it to Wang Dong to drink while it was hot. So as not to get cold, the effect of the medicine is reduced. Then he took Sanniang's hand and sighed, with some melancholy in his eyes: "You're going to get married, I'm really reluctant." Although you are close to each other, we can't always see each other. You can't just run to your mother's house if you're fine, and I can't go to the county king's mansion to talk to you twice in three days. ”

Sanniang also held Xue's hand. smiled: "If you want to talk to me, it's not easy?" You can ask your aunt or Su Chengzhi, or someone to give me a post at that time. In this way, our meeting is a very ordinary correspondence in the eyes of others, where do some people still say that I always run to my mother's house? ”

Wang Zheng and Su Minzhi's wedding date is scheduled for August, and I heard that Mrs. Su is helping Su Chengzhi find a candidate.

Xue Shi thought about it and felt that this method was not bad, nodded and smiled: "This method is good, and it can be used often in the future." ”

The second day is the day of "adding boxes".

Sanniang has also attended one or two weddings here. The day before the dowry is given, and it is generally after the ceremony of the man and woman, the wedding cake and snacks will be given. Fresh fruits and other gifts were given to relatives and friends in gift boxes, telling them the specific date of marriage and greeting.

This time, the emperor suddenly decreed that the wedding date was advanced, and the time that he thought was abundant became urgent, and all the ceremonies were completed in a hurry on six or seven days. Although he was in a hurry, the Xue family had the help of the Li family and the guidance sent by the Zongren Mansion, and they all proceeded in an orderly manner. The Wang family had also notified relatives and friends three days earlier.

So on this day, there were many people who came to the Wang family to "add boxes".

On the third day, the day before the wedding, the Wang family sent the dowry and "made the bed" to the palace of Zhuangjun.

Before the dowry is given, there is also a necessary procedure, which is to be urged by the man.

On the morning of this day, the Xuanjun Wangfu and the Zongren Mansion came to send a set of phoenix crown and xia veil, a gold hijab, a big red brocade, two seats of fruit wine, a bag of fat powder, two sides of the towel, and a gift box with pork, mutton, dry noodles, cut noodles, rice cakes, and pastries. It is said that this meat is called "Liniang meat", and the rice cake is a metaphor for "ascending every year", which are some good signs.

In the afternoon, the Wang family began to send dowries.

Before the wedding, all the dowries were lined up on the street outside Mao'er's Eye Alley.

There are a total of 128 units, all of which are placed on the "wedding table" carved with rectangular gold lacquer. The table was surrounded by a railing, and the table was surrounded by a red cloth, and the sides were covered with poles to carry the porter. These dowries filled the streets with pawnshops, so that the whole street was surrounded by "dowry tables" and crowds of people watching the excitement.

Because they heard that there were still a lot of royal gifts in the dowry, the onlookers were even more excited, and they were all speculating about which ones were given by the emperor and which ones were added by whom. It was lively for a while.

"This third lady of the throne is really generous, I originally heard that she is a virtuous person, but now I see that it is true. Not to mention the Zhuangzi produced in this house, even the gold and silver jewelry, and the clothes of the four seasons are all exquisite. ”

The people around him also nodded yes.

Before the dowry was issued, musical instruments such as suona, siren, sheng, and cymbal began to sound, and the more people there were, the more vigorously the musicians played.

……

Sanniang could hear the sound of drums outside in the house, and her mood was complicated.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside: "Uncle sent someone to welcome the dowry." The sound of suona blowing outside was even louder.

"Miss, the eldest lady of the fourth room who went to the county king's mansion has returned." Bai Guoxing hurriedly ran in and said.

Today, on behalf of the Wang family, it is the eldest daughter-in-law of Sanniang's fourth uncle and grandmother Lian who went to make a bed in Zhuangjun Wangfu.

She led people to the new house to make a house, hang a curtain tent, lay out house utensils, gold and silver jewelry, daily utensils and other things. After the bed is made, a maid is sent to guard the room.

Bai Ying glared at her: "When is it, you are still so frizzy, and you will be like this when you go to the palace in the future, do you make people laugh at our family's minions for not having rules?" ”

Bai Guo stuck out her tongue, she had been taught by Bai Ying since she was a child, and she was used to it.

"Didn't I think this was to tell the young lady the news? I heard the sister-in-law who came back say that the Zhuangjun Wangfu is big, but ...... The yard of the young lady and the aunt is a little off. Bai Guo pouted.

"What's the wrong way?" Bai Zhi asked.

Bai Guo glanced at Sanniang and saw that she was not angry, so he boldly said: "I heard that my aunt and that Mrs. Jiang originally lived in the Guan Ju Courtyard in the West Courtyard, and our young lady and aunt's courtyard was even more remote than the Guan Ju Courtyard, and they were both close to the northwest corner." ”

Sanniang didn't react when she heard it, the Zhuang County Wangfu is now the head of the Zhuang County King and the county princess, and she didn't want to get any relatives from others. It's better to be farther away, to each his own. No one should answer anyone.

While they were talking, it was even more lively outside.

"Ah, it's the dowry that's going over there." Bai Guo became happy again, "Miss, I'll go outside and see who is greeting, so I'll come back and tell you." ”

Sanniang smiled bitterly,

"Obviously, you want to join in the fun, but you have to rely on the young lady!" Bai Ying couldn't help but breathe.

"Forget it, let her go, lest she make a fuss in front of me and give me a headache." Sanniang waved her hand.

Bai Guo smiled smugly at Bai Ying and jumped away.

After that, Wang Zheng, Yuan Niang and Su Chengzhi came over.

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to cry and get married? Look at the joy on your face, there are no tears at all, what is this? Wang Zheng deliberately joked with a straight face.

Sanniang was helpless.

She heard Mama Zhuang say that in the past, the bride had to "cry and marry" before getting married, and the time was seven days to time. There is also a special crying wedding song.

That is to say, for seven to ten days before getting married, you have to stay in your room all the time, crying and reciting words in your mouth.

She has seen the so-called crying wedding songs that Mama Zhuang specially asked her to see, with a variety of words, including those who miss her father and mother's upbringing, those who cry for their brothers and sisters, and even those who scold the matchmaker. But she's a matchmaker...... If she is a guts, she will not dare to scold.

Fortunately, this custom is now a formality, and the bride usually only howls in the company of her sisters the night before her wedding.

Sanniang didn't pay attention to Wang Zheng's jokes, anyway, everyone has to go through this matter, Wang Zheng dares to tease her, she can always return it in the future, Sanniang thought indifferently.

Sanniang beckoned a few people to sit down and drink tea, Su Chengzhi was still her usual stereotyped appearance, but it was still difficult to hide the loss in her eyes. Sanniang sighed, it is really good to be able to do something like Su Chengzhi.

"I have a gift for you." Su Chengzhi said suddenly.

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and Wang Zheng shouted even more exaggeratedly: "Hey, when did you prepare the gift?" Why didn't you tell me about it beforehand? You're too insidious, aren't you? ”

Su Chengzhi glanced at Wang Zheng, ignored her, and just turned around and explained a few words to his maid.

The maid took the order, and when she came back a short time, she was holding a long object in her hand, which was not clear because it was covered with red silk.

Su Chengzhi got up and walked to the maid under the puzzled gaze of Sanniang and Wang Zheng, first stroked the red silk for a while, and then lifted the red silk, and the piano was set one by one below.

"Huh? Isn't that something beloved to you? Wang Zheng looked at the piano carefully.

Su Chengzhi looked at Sanniang: "I will give you my qin, and I wish you and Xuangongzi Qinse harmony." (To be continued)
