Chapter 309: The Second Wedding
The first wave of dowry, all of them are everyone's furniture, Mrs. Huang sent people to run I don't know how many times, I have already seen it everywhere, the dowry mother-in-law holding the dowry book came in first, commanded the head to carry the dowry into the house, put it in the innermost, and the dowry in the back came in turn, and put it in turn.
Mrs. Guo stood at the door of the upper room, watching the dowry go in, and wanted to follow up to take a look, but was politely stopped by the bride-in-law.
Li Xia was too lazy to pay attention to Mrs. Guo's second wife, sitting on the gooseneck chair under the porch, looking from the mother-in-law standing in the weeping flower door, the dowry furniture carried in, was commanded by the mother-in-law under the weeping flower door, turned around, pointed to the upper room, the east chamber or the west chamber, carried to the doors of each room, followed the instructions of the mother-in-law in the house, put the dowry, and squeezed out sideways against the door frame.
Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, just looking at this well-organized, at least Mrs. Huang's ability as a director is quite good.
Everyone was carried in like water, and in less than an hour, from the inverted seat room at the entrance of the courtyard to the back cover room at the back, they were all neatly arranged and full.
After that, there are all kinds of ornaments, curtains, candlesticks, fruit plates, and so on.
Li Xia looked at this originally empty Sanjin courtyard, a little bit but quickly filled it, and gradually there was interest and vitality everywhere, and when the embroidered screen with Jiangnan charm in the hanging flower door was lifted to the center, Li Xia pulled Li Wennan with one hand and Li Wenmei with the other, and hurriedly walked out.
Before the arrangement in this courtyard stopped, they had to withdraw quickly, and after that, before the bride sat in, except for the dowry girl selected by the Tang family, no one else could take half a step.
Second Mrs. Guo went out with a handkerchief before Li Xia and them.
The other dowries of the Tang family girls should be placed at the gate of this courtyard, a vacant land temporarily cleared, what is beautiful about these furniture, every family is the same, she wants to see the real Zhuangzi shop, and silver!
The dowry was close to dark, and Mrs. Guo saw that it was nearly dark, this physical strength, and several dowry mothers-in-law who looked at the dowry secretly admired, this is not worrying about it, it is good to have good body bones!
Mrs. Guo Er bent over and carefully looked at the red silk bricks that were brought in at the end, there are a lot of rows in this row, why are there no big bricks and small bricks? There is no shop Zhuangzi, how can you fool people so much!
"Is this a unified account in your house?" Mrs. Guo looked at it and asked.
"It's not a big deal." The bride-in-law smiled politely and respectfully, "This lift is Zhuangzi, this lift is a shop, Zhuangzi is also considered a unified account, 500 acres is counted as a Zhuangzi, and this shop is counted as one." ”
Mrs. Guo Er counted it once, counted it again, and counted it again, her heart was churning with sourness, "Yo, this is a lot, doesn't it mean that your family is honest and honest, and your family is not rich?" ”
"The second wife can't talk like this, our lord is honest, but he didn't say it, as for the wealth, it depends on which family it is compared with, compared with the old lady of our family, it is not very rich.
In these shops Zhuangzi, our eldest master added a shop, several ancestors in the old house added two shops, three Zhuangzi, our in-laws and old ladies added two shops, both Zhuangzi are big, three bricks, Su Shangshu Mansion Shangbai Grandma added a shop, the Bai family added a Zhuangzi, more than 900 acres of land, General Lu's wife added a Zhuangzi of more than 400 acres, the sixth young master of the ancient family added two shops, Changsha Wangfu added an orchard......
Second Mrs. Guo was dazzled when she heard it, and after the mother-in-law finished speaking, she looked at her, smiled and added a few words, "...... It's all thanks to our fifth master, and the favor of the fifth master has fallen on our girl's head. ”
Mrs. Guo Er's face was blue, she stomped her feet and left, and returned to her yard, her chest hurt one after another, but no matter how painful her chest was, she didn't dare to do anything, how big the matter of the fifth marriage was, she could still see one, two, three, if she dared to do anything at this time, the eldest daughter-in-law had to kill her, it was a ruthless one.
But her chest is really painful, even with pain!
Although it was in the afternoon, before dawn, Li Wenshan was called up, carefully bathed and washed, followed the old lady, and arrived at the ancestral hall that was already brightly lit, and offered sacrifices.
Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Qian, as well as Mrs. Xu and others, slept for an hour or two that night, slept in the dark, got up in the dark, each received a messenger, first inspected the house again, and invited the opera troupe to sing and juggle the family, which had been waiting outside the corner gate, and sent someone to bring it in and start to prepare.
As soon as the sky was bright, Mrs. Huo and Xu Huan arrived, Mrs. Huo went to find Mrs. Yan, and Xu Huan went to find Yan Shangshu and Guo Sheng.
Yan Shangshu and Mrs. Qian, with two sons and a daughter, all came over last night and rested in Yongningbo Mansion.
Then a few old Chengtang officials who Yan Shangshu trusted in the household department were dressed in festive and auspicious clothes, and they also arrived, and when it was dawn, Yan Shangshu had already sent their own messengers, from the mouth of the alley to the second gate, and then to the lobby inside, all arranged people, just waiting for the guests to come to the door.
Mrs. Huo received the messenger from Mrs. Yan, in addition to looking at the old ancestor of her family, she added a second wife to her, and the second wife sent someone to her yard last night, saying that her chest hurt badly, and it was not good to ask the doctor on the big day, so she asked her to find a few pills and medicine for her, she was worried that the second wife would be stupid and rush, don't make any shameless things.
Mrs. Huo agreed, both of which were errands.
Mrs. Yan hadn't made any arrangements yet, and her mother-in-law trotted in all the way to report that General Lu and his wife had arrived.
Mrs. Yan hurriedly greeted her, Mrs. Ruan had already entered the second gate, greeted Mrs. Yan and said with a smile: "I'm early, the general said come early to see if there is anything that can help." ”
"Thank you and the General." Mrs. Yan saw the salute and hurriedly thanked her, "From the fifth brother to the capital...... This is not right, from the fifth brother to Jiangning Mansion to see General Lu for the first time, over the years, General Lu has always taken care of the fifth brother, even his own brother, but that's it, Mrs. here, please. ”
Mrs. Ruan walked a few steps, looked at Li Dong and the others who came over in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Madame is the Dinghai Divine Needle for this great event, I don't dare to disturb more, Sister Dong is here, you will put me in her place, and I will lead the messenger with her." ”
Mrs. Yan laughed, "If you say that, I'm not welcome, Sister Dong received an envoy to greet the young grandmothers and little ladies of various families today, I was worried that she wouldn't recognize the whole person, and I would be relieved if Mrs. mentioned it." ”
In a few words, Li Dong had already greeted him, and Mrs. Yan explained a few words, and then went to get busy.
Gu Liu arrived not much later than Lu Yi, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked for Li Wenshan and Li Wenlan, "What about Li Wu?" What is he, the bridegroom, busy with? What about the sixth brother? This welcoming lady, which brother are you looking for? You have to let me take a look, I said I'll go, Li Wufei won't let me ......"
Gu Liu was talking to Xu Huan as he walked inside.
Xu Huan said with a smile: "The eldest son of the Yan Shangshu family, as well as the fifth master of the Shen old Shangshu family, the third son of the Luo Shangshu family, and the cousin of General Lu, Lu Jiulang, are not as good as the sixth young master, but they are also a rare and turbid son." ”
"Okay." Gu Liu thought about these people, and nodded reluctantly, that is, it was okay, and the few he originally planned to find were quite different.
"General Lu has arrived? By the way, is the prince coming today? Gu Liu paused, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice.
Xu Huan shook his head, also leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "If the prince comes, what will happen...... It's too big. ”
Gu Liu slowly hummed, walked two or three steps, giggled, this laughed out, the more he laughed, the louder he laughed, he stood and laughed for a while, and then he continued to walk forward, shaking off the folding fan to block his face, and gossiped with Xu Huan: "Last time, your niece, Ah Xia and Sister Nan, were fighting with others on the street, and the prince suspected that they couldn't say it clearly, so let people draw it for him to see, the picture of Ah Xia's fight was very expressive." ”
"You see?" Xu Huan blocked Gu Liu's sentence, and Gu Liu hehe said a few times, "I didn't see that excitement, but this excitement ...... Well, I'll draw a picture of Li Wucheng's relatives when I go back and send it to him. ”
Xu Huan laughed.
"I'll go shopping by myself, you go and get busy, if the prince comes, send someone to tell me, and, I heard that Prince Su and Prince Jiang are also coming?"
Seeing Xu Huan nodding affirmatively, Gu Liu's eyebrows flew, "Send someone to tell me when you come!" I have something to do with Mr. Jiang, he has been busy lately and can't see anyone at all. ”
Xu Huan responded, accompanied him and went inside, and saw Li Wenlan seeing Gu Liu, and greeted him, so he gave up his hand and retreated, and went to the second gate to greet the distinguished guests.
Guo Sheng stood at the first post at the gate of Yongningbo Mansion, and there was a row of more than a dozen or twenty clever servants standing behind him, waiting to listen to Mr. Guo's instructions or hints and bring people inside.
Just welcomed several big merchants of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and from a distance, Guo Sheng saw Su Ye, the eldest son of Su, riding on a horse.
Su Ye wore a crab shell green thin silk gown, riding on a horse, tilting his head sideways, looking at Bai Shi who was also riding on a horse next to him, Bai Yue sat sideways on horseback, a crab shell blue narrow sleeve skirt hung down from the side of the horse's back, fluttering lightly in the wind, and a bright and dazzling red pomegranate skirt hung down from the side of the horse, looking up at Su Ye, and talking and laughing.
Guo Sheng gasped slightly, the girl said that Bai Yue married Su Ye, and Su Ye married Bai Yue, only because she liked him, and it had nothing to do with him liking her, nothing else, now, at this glance, he was convinced that there was no longer any doubt.
This fairy-like fairy couple only has each other in their eyes.
Guo Sheng looked at Su Ye and Bai Yue unabashedly, and saw the two of them jump off the horse together when they arrived at the dismount stone, took a deep breath, as if they had just woken up, stepped forward, and bowed their hands, "The virtuous couple is really ...... I lost my mind just now, and they all said that the fairy couple, I can be regarded as seeing it with my own eyes, and I have no regrets in this life. ”
Su Ye shook his head and smiled, Bai Yue laughed, and bent his knees to return Guo Sheng's salute, "My brother wrote a letter saying that Mr. Guo is a big hero, and everything else is secondary, and he admires him very much." ”
Guo Sheng laughed, "I'm really from Qingzhou." ”
Su Ye laughed out loud, and slapped the folding fan on Guo Sheng's shoulder, "Mr. really should be surnamed Hu." ”
Guo Sheng laughed, and turned sideways to let Su Ye and Bai Yue, Su Ye took Bai Yue's hand, entered the reed shed, waved his hand to Guo Sheng and said: "You don't need to bring it personally, just call a little guy to take us in, Luo Shangshu's car is behind, it will arrive in a while, and you are not here." ”
Guo Sheng hurriedly ordered a small house, looked at the end for a long time, and watched the two of them walk four or five steps before standing up straight, looking at the backs of the two holding hands, and after a while, he sighed in admiration, turned around and stood outside the gate again.
Jin Zhuoyan followed closely behind Luo Shangshu and also arrived.
Seeing Jin Zhuoyan from afar, Guo Sheng hurriedly went down the steps, trotted a few steps forward, grabbed in front of the little guy, reached out to pull the reins, Jin Zhuoyan tapped Guo Sheng's hand with a horsewhip, "You let go, this is what you do, you don't save some face for yourself, but also for your fifth master." ”
"You are the boss, even if the fifth master is here, you are also the boss." Guo Sheng let go of his hand, took half a step back, bowed slightly, and flattered himself.
Jin Cunyan jumped off the horse and looked at him obliquely, "Don't be like this, you are like this, my heart is not steady, is it you, or is the rock making a mistake?" ”
"Look at what the prince said, I just do my best for the rock." Guo Sheng turned sideways and let Jin clumsy.
Jin Shuyan snorted and raised his hand to stop Guo Sheng, "Don't, it's your best to do a good job, you're a thief, don't send it, I'd better go in by myself and feel at ease." ”
Guo Sheng smiled and nodded, and watched Jin Cunyan walk out of the place of shooting, before turning around, and returning to the front position in a few steps, there was also a Jiang Dagongzi, who had always been the last to appear.
As soon as Guo Sheng stood firm, he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Yanshi, who was wearing a blue lotus-colored robe, riding his Dawan horse, which was as beautiful as him, and greeted him proudly.
Guo Sheng sighed lightly, and sighed with emotion, comparing Su Ye and Jiang Yanshi with each other, this is not right, it should be Su Ye and his wife together, so that they can be compared with Jiang Dagongzi.
Jiang Yanshi got off the horse, greeted Guo Sheng, who was looking at him with a sigh on his face, glanced at him, and asked while walking past him inside, "Are they all here?" ”
"Jin Shizi, Grand Prince Su, and the sixth young master of the Gu family have all arrived." Guo Sheng followed closely and let in.
"I'm asking Second Prince Zhao." Jiang Yanshi shook off the folding fan and squinted at Guo Sheng, Guo Sheng laughed a few times, "It's also here, half an hour earlier than you, here." Guo Sheng gestured to the second son of Zhao who had already come up.
"You go get busy, come and have a few drinks with me when you're done." Jiang Yanshi's footsteps did not stop, and he leisurely shook the folding fan and commanded.
Guo Sheng agreed, followed behind, watched Zhao Ergongzi greet him, and walked inside while talking to Jiang Yanshi before turning around and going back.
Jiang Yanshi and Zhao Ergongzi looked around as they walked.
"It is said that Mrs. Yan is a good family, and the Yan family has been a big family for generations, and it is really not bad." After looking at it for a while, Jiang Yanshi commented.
"Well, there's enough money to spend." Zhao Ergongzi glanced at the ubiquitous ceiling.
"That old lady dares to call the Banjiang family on the silver, if she doesn't take enough money in this case, she spends the silver everywhere, isn't it in vain?" Jiang Yanshi looked at the flowers and trees along the way, the flowers and grasses were full of greenery, as far as the eye could see, they were full of vitality, and the Li family's luck came up.
