Chapter 375: Asking for Marriage
Early in the morning, An Sheng was dragged up from the bed by Sister-in-law Feng, who was holding a brand new set of smoky purple Liuyun brocade gauze skirt and rouge gouache.
She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Sister-in-law Feng a little inexplicably: "What's the matter, Sister-in-law Feng?" What is the holiday today? ”
Sister-in-law Feng smiled from ear to ear: "What kind of festival, is it possible that you are confused?" It was Lord Xia who sent someone to bring a message, so that you must go back to Xia Mansion today. ”
An Sheng suddenly lost his sleepiness: "My father told me to go back?" But what's the urgency? ”
"No, it's a happy event." Sister-in-law Feng said mysteriously, turned around and brought her water to wash.
An Sheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, although Sister-in-law Feng was nominally Leng Nanxian's subordinate, but An Sheng had always respected her as an elder. She actually brought water to wash herself, how could An Sheng be at ease?
She hurriedly got out of bed, but was held down by Sister-in-law Feng: "Let Sister-in-law Feng dress you up today." ”
An Sheng felt more and more inexplicable: "I'm just going home, what are I doing when I dress up?" ”
Sister-in-law Feng pursed her lips and smiled: "There is a happy event in your house, how humble you are when you go back in a frugal manner, why do you have to dress festively, right?" ”
It seems that there is a little truth to this.
Sister-in-law Feng stepped forward and served her to finish washing up, put on a new Luo skirt, and use it too early. Then carefully comb a head of hair, coil it into a bun, put hosta and sideburns on it, and begin to apply fat powder.
An Sheng felt that something was not right: "Sister-in-law Feng, can you use it so cumbersome?" ”
Sister-in-law Feng looked left and right proudly: "What kind of cumbersome is this, which serious lady doesn't have to sit in front of the dressing table for an hour and draw her eyebrows?" ”
An Sheng frowned slightly: "My master, he doesn't like me to rub grease and powder, he said it's ugly." ”
Sister-in-law Feng pursed her lips and smiled: "You listen to him, he is afraid that you will be abducted by dressing up beautifully." There is no room for him today. ”
Then he looked left and right with satisfaction: "A natural beauty billet, no matter how you dress up, you look good." ”
An Sheng cheekily took a self-portrait in the mirror, and for some reason, he suddenly felt as if he had beaten a small drum: "What about my master?" ”
"He went out with Qianzhou early in the morning, and the carriage was already prepared outside, and he was ready to get on it now."
An Sheng always felt that Sister-in-law Feng's smile was meaningful, as if she was hiding something.
She got into the car in a daze and went straight to Xia Mansion.
There were two carriages parked at the gate of Xia Mansion, and An Sheng knew that it was the carriage of the old lady and the uncle of the Xia family in the big house, obviously, his father should have come back from the previous dynasty.
The vermilion lacquer door was wide open, and the streets at the door were obviously swept very carefully, and the door was paved with red felt, and several pots of one-person-high bonsai were placed, full of joy.
An Sheng was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what other happy events were in Xia Mansion now.
When the porter saw An Sheng get down from the carriage, he immediately trotted forward to greet him: "Miss An Sheng is very happy." ”
An Sheng's feet were suddenly stunned: "What joy do I have?" ”
Before the porter could speak, Xia Anzheng had already come out of the door happily and smiled at An Sheng: "The main lord is finally willing to come back?" ”
An Sheng glanced left and right: "What does this mean?" What day is it? ”
An Zheng suddenly couldn't help but laugh "poof": "The emotional coldness of the divine doctor really concealed this matter impenetrable?" ”
The two held hands and walked to the house, and An Sheng couldn't help but be curious: "What is the matter?" What does it have to do with me? ”
An Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "The cold god doctor has informed me in advance, and today he is going to come to the tea ceremony to ask for marriage, no, even my grandmother and father are here, and you, the main master, are not in a hurry." “
The sentence "tea ceremony" made An Sheng ashamed of himself, no wonder Sister-in-law Feng dressed herself so ceremoniously today, it was for this matter.
These days, the people in the entire medicine house are mysterious, chattering behind their backs, and they actually hide themselves from the air.
Seeing her blushing, An Zheng smiled and quipped: "Doctor Leng is also a little anxious, this Nacai, Mingming, and Naji are all saved, and they come directly to the tea ceremony, which shows how impatient." Fortunately, I didn't greet it directly, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to prepare for this makeup. ”
"Nonsense."
An Sheng snorted and was about to fight, An Zhengjiao smiled and dodged, and Shen and the old lady had already heard the news and walked out.
An Sheng didn't dare to make another attempt, so he stepped forward to ask the old lady and the Shen family for peace, and he was a little overwhelmed when he hooked his head. The Shen family had no choice but to praise An Sheng's makeup today.
There is no family member in the house now, and the main refreshments, return gifts, and silver rewards inside and outside are all helped by the Shen family to help Zhang Luo. After all, she was an outsider, and after letting the old lady look at it, she asked An Sheng, how could she prepare it properly?
Where did An Sheng understand this, and he thanked him again and again, and naturally let the Shen family help make the decision.
After a greeting, I heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, from far and near, the guy who looked at the wind stumbled into the door, and stumbled at Xia Yuanwai and others: "Come, come." ”
Shen smiled and said, "What are you excited about?" ”
The guy was still dumbfounded, and finally swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and even said with a gesture: "Okay, what a big show." ”
"See this insight? If it is known by others, won't they laugh at our squire mansion? The old lady was in a good mood, and she couldn't help but ridicule, and got up: "Old woman, I want to see, how much pomp does this kid want to use to exchange our sister's flowery girl?" ”
An Sheng was shy, turned around and wanted to escape, but was dragged by An Zheng: "What are you shy?" ”
Just as he was talking, he heard the gate boiling as if it was boiling, not only the gongs and drums were beating happily, but also the voices of the people were boiling.
"Go out and have a look!"
When Shen heard this, he couldn't hold it back, stepped forward to support the old lady, and smiled: "An Zheng, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, and you are honestly staying in the house with your sister." ”
An Zheng quietly dragged An Sheng: "Let's take a sneak peek from the side." ”
An Sheng is rarely thin-skinned: "Look for yourself, I won't go." ”
Xia Yuanwai and the old lady went out of the gate directly. At a glance, I was also shocked by the pomp in front of me.
Xia Mansion is in the middle of the city, and the street at the door is spacious, and it is already full of ordinary people watching the excitement.
And the dowry of the marriage court, arranged in pairs, all the same color vermilion lacquer or longevity box, like a long dragon, all the way to the end of the street, no end in sight.
It is a bride price, and it is a real ingot, tied with red silk, shining in the sun.
Ordinary people can get an ingot, which is also a big windfall, and they can buy a small family business. I don't know how many of these more than ten ingots there are, how can they not be shocking?
No wonder the guy who reported the news was so excited.
After that, it is the wedding cake, seafood, three animals, tea boxes, wine boxes, etc., all of which are purchased in accordance with the customs and habits of Beijing.
Xia Yuanwai, the old lady and the others couldn't help but look at each other, Leng Nanxian's big stroke!
