Mrs. Guo Er has always been able to rush out, and she can also take it back, returned to her own courtyard, pointed at the eighth lady Li Wenmei and scolded her, and scolded the two aunts, seeing that it was getting late, her master was about to come back, and went to Mrs. Yan's courtyard alone, kneeling at the door of the upper room.

After kneeling for half an hour, Manqing lifted the curtain and came out, "Madame said, please go back and rest for the second wife." Mrs. also said that she had never bothered with the second wife, but in this house, not everyone is as good as her, and the second wife still accepts a temperament, so as not to offend people who can't afford to offend, and go back to the second master to send a noble concubine with a head, face and means to come in, and the second wife is not in the mood to pick this trouble. ”

After Manqing finished speaking, she turned around and went in, the second wife knelt like this, but it wasn't once or twice, she was a little tired.

Second Mrs. Guo stood up with her hands on the ground, hung her head and walked out of Mrs. Yan's courtyard, pondering all the way, who is the person in this mansion who can't afford to offend? Little Five? No, it's not been a year or two since Xiao Wu came back, she hadn't heard this before, who is that...... Oh! Who else could there be! She's so stupid, that third wife, hmph, she said, like her, who puts on a face of grievance and begging for perfection all day long, all of them are cheap people who calculate all day long!

Sending a concubine to her lord's side, she dreamed...... Mrs. Guo didn't say a word, so she was stupid, that old lady has money!

Second Mrs. Guo took a few breaths, raised her hand and patted her chest, forget it, she doesn't care about villains, and in the future, she doesn't care about them.

Seeing that it was about to enter May, Luo Zhongsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sent someone to solemnly come over and deliver a message, saying that Li Wenshan could be regarded as something he had grown up watching, and he must come to this major event of getting married.

Luo Zhongsheng was coming, Mrs. Yan had expected that Luo Shangshu and her master had been friends for many years, and they had known the fifth brother when they were in Hangzhou.

Then the chief steward of the Bai family who stayed in the capital personally sent a congratulatory gift, saying that the congratulatory gift was sent by his lord from Fujian, and he had just received it. His lord also said that he couldn't see the happy things of Li Wuye, and he was very sorry, so he asked his daughter Bai Yue to congratulate him.

In the end, he changed Su Ye's words, and his aunt said that when the time came, the uncle would accompany his girl to the house to congratulate.

Forget about receiving the congratulatory gift from the Bai family, when she heard that Su Ye was coming, Mrs. Yan was a little stunned, the eldest prince of Su sent a message to come so early, what about those families who have close ties with the Su family? How do you send this invitation?

Su Ye's empathy is not in vain, not long after the chief steward of the Bai family went back, Su Ye sent the little servant to quietly send Mrs. Yan a long piece of paper that is not too long or too short, Mrs. Yan looked at the list of names on the note, and breathed a long sigh of relief, grateful, this Su eldest son, is really beautiful inside and out!

Then Zheng Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, happened to walk together with Mrs. Yan and her brother Yan Shangshu one day, and talked a few words about how your child is and how my baby is, and talked about Li Wenshan's marriage.

In addition to sighing, Zheng Zhiyuan said that Li Wenshan got married, he must go to join in the fun, but he watched the child grow up.

At the end, he smiled casually, "...... The previous one, also here, happened to meet Jiang Gongzi, as soon as he saw me, he complained that he was very tired, saying that this April can't be over, hurry up to May, and he can take advantage of Li Wuda's happy day to evacuate for a day......"

Yan Shangshu got these words, first went to Yongning Bo Mansion, found his sister Mrs. Yan to transfer Zheng Zhiyuan's message, and discussed carefully with Mrs. Yan for nearly an hour, and decided which people should be invited after inviting Jiang Gongzi and Zheng Zhiyuan, before coming out to go back.

Sending off the eldest brother, Mrs. Yan returned to the conference hall, sat on the couch and pressed her temples one after another, Master Su is coming, this is a good thing, no matter where the prince is, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and now the eldest prince Jiang is also coming, I heard that these two people met, and the words never stopped, that Jiang eldest prince is an unkind ......

Alas, why did these two have to come...... No, there is another family, even if Prince Qin doesn't come, Jin Shizi will definitely come, and Jin Shizi is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

There is also a big thing, there are so many people who can't be snub outside, who can host the reception at home? Originally, the fifth brother was good, but that day the fifth brother was the groom's child, and he had to be taken care of by others!

Brother Song'er is not good, firstly, his identity is not enough, secondly, he is still a little immature, and neither is the sixth brother, he is too young, and he has no heart, neither can the third master, and others have not recognized it all, the rest, from the old lady to the second father and son, just don't make trouble!

Oh yes! When Mrs. Yan thought of this, she was suddenly anxious, in their house, when it came to such a big event, the gentlemen outside, except for the fifth brother, there was no one who could support things! Just thinking about it makes you want to cry a few times!

That's right, Uncle Xu! There is also that Mr. Guo, Mrs. Yan turned around twice, a flash of inspiration, thinking of Uncle Xu, and immediately thought of her brother Yan Shangshu, and asked people to prepare the car one after another, she had to go back to her mother's house to move the rescuers, and invited the eldest brother to Zhang Luo, and simply invited the sister-in-law to come over, and helped her Zhang Luo entertain the female dependents, who were afraid that they would have to entertain a lot of hearts, as well as the old lady of her family...... Well, the old lady will hand it over to the old lady of the in-laws......

Mrs. Yan thought while hurrying out of the meteor, their Yongning Bo Mansion, this momentum is really going to rise, but when this is thriving, it can exhaust several people!

Guo Sheng accepted Mrs. Yan's entrustment, and when the night fell, he leisurely went to the secluded alley, pushed open the back corner door, and entered Lu Yi's small empty courtyard.

After waiting for a while, Lu Yi pushed the courtyard door in, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw Guo Sheng sitting under the porch, with his legs crossed and melon seeds knocked.

The weather was getting hot, and he couldn't rely on the stove, so Guo Sheng knocked on the melon seeds, Lu Yi stood and watched for a while, and then walked to the porch and sat down with a somewhat helpless smile.

"Looking for me at this time, is it a matter of your fifth master getting married?" Lu Yi made tea and pushed it to Guo Sheng, Guo Sheng threw the melon seeds back into the small bamboo basket, picked up the tea, and slowly sipped it with a look of enjoyment, before he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm here, and this is a big deal right now." ”

"Well, let's talk about it." Lu Yi bent one foot and stepped on the chair, sipped tea, and motioned to Guo Sheng.

"Is the prince going?" Guo Sheng asked first.

"It's not decided yet, it's about ......" Lu Yi's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Guo Sheng, "Don't go, don't make a mess." ”

Lu Yi was choked up.

"Six books, Yan Shangshu doesn't say it, Mrs. is not with him, she has already ordered him to entertain that day, Tang Shangshu said, although it is the Tang family's daughter, but the Li family is lively, he must come to see it, he loves to be lively."

"He's not at ease." Lu Yi answered.

"Anyway, it's coming, Zheng Shangshu handed over the message to come, the invitation has been sent over, Jiang Shangshu's car stopped at the mouth of the alley of Yongning Bofu, and now he asked for the invitation before leaving, Luo Shangshu didn't say it, he didn't say it, he had to invite people, six Shangshu, to five and a half." Guo Sheng opened his palm and almost shook it on Lu Yi's face.

Lu Yi leaned back, looked at Guo Sheng's pride in distress, and said slowly: "Why don't you let Jin Shizi ask for a golden phase for you?" Wei Xiang and Wang Xianggong, can I say a few words and invite all the ministers? ”

"Whew! I said this, it's too much, all of them are superfluous! Guo Sheng pursed his lips, righteous and awe-inspiring.

After Lu Yi was speechless, she laughed out loud, "Then you came to me, just to let me pass on a message and ask the prince not to make trouble?" ”

"Su Ye is coming, husband and wife, Jiang Yanshi is coming. It's not time for the prince to join in this fun. Guo Sheng lowered his voice.

"Su Ye is forgivable, what kind of excitement is Jiang Yanshi doing?" Lu Yi's face sank.

"Jin Shizi's invitation has been sent," Guo Sheng ignored Lu Yi's sentence, and continued: "Can the general entrust him with the prince, that day, please take care of him more, after all, it is the day of our fifth master's big day, in case there is anything unpleasant......"

"Don't worry." Lu Yi's face was still gloomy, "There is no need to entrust this, if the prince can't even figure out the importance of this, if he doesn't say anything else, he can't afford the position of the prince of Changsha." The other two, you don't have to worry, since they are going to congratulate you, there is no reason to make trouble and play a temper. ”

"That's good." Guo Sheng stood up and shook his arm easily, "I'll go back." ”

"Is it your girl who doesn't want the prince to join in the fun?" Watching Guo Sheng descend the steps, Lu Yi suddenly asked.

Guo Sheng paused, turned around and looked at Lu Yi, shaking his head simply and resolutely, "No, the girl wishes that there are as many people as possible, the more lively the better, the girl loves to be lively."

This is my idea, it is an idea that has just been born, in the afternoon, Mrs. Yan invited me in, please welcome the guests on the day of the wedding, this less than a month of effort, Mrs. Yan has lost a lot of weight. If the prince goes, his identity, after all, is different, even if there is a general in the customs defense, there is no need for Mrs. to worry about it, but this secondary general has to be adjusted, and it is not easy for Mrs. to move a hundred.

Besides, the prince is notoriously unearthly, and when he suddenly descends, it is easy to scare people. ”

After Guo Sheng finished speaking, he arched his hand and left, leaving Lu Yi in a daze, what does it mean to not be mortal? Where did he get the gossip from?

Mrs. Yan got a few words, sent out twice as many invitations as before, called everyone in the Qi Mansion, and said a few words about the people who were going to come on the day of the fifth master's marriage, and first made a cruel word, who dared not to be dedicated, if the messenger was out of shape, she didn't say anything about it, and directly beat fifty boards and sold them to the mine to work as coolies

Then announced that the monthly money in May will be doubled, and after the wedding is beautiful, there will be a big reward!

On the afternoon of the day these words were released, Mrs. Huo sent the girl Jin Gui to send five thousand taels of silver over, and passed on Mrs. Huo's words: The old lady said, Mrs. has worked hard, this idea of silver is for Mrs. to reward people, Mrs. Don't dislike it.

Mrs. Yan was also not polite, accepted the silver ticket, called a few chief stewards, and passed on the word, and the old lady of the in-laws put a reward of five thousand taels of silver in her, and after the family affair was properly handled, she rewarded everyone for the old lady of the in-laws.

Under the heavy reward, the potential of people is huge, and the people of Yongningbo Mansion have devoted themselves to the glittering event of their family's fifth master's wedding with unprecedented energy and wisdom.

On the evening before the dowry, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xu, with the three sisters Li Dong and several daughters-in-law, moved to Mrs. Yan's small courtyard two or three days earlier, and Mrs. Qian, who was temporarily staying to help, looked from the new and festive reed shed at the gate.

Mrs. Yan sent the envoy to Grandma Zhao to take care of the routine affairs in the house, as well as to take care of the old lady and the old lady, Mrs. Yan has been very strict in the past few months, and has set a temporary rule that everyone only cares about their own messengers and is not allowed to sneak around to inquire.

Grandma Zhao stared at the reed shed that extended from the mouth of the alley to the gate of Yongning Bofu, and then extended from the gate to the west, from the reed shed to see the tight gauze on both sides, and then saw the ceiling that passed through the gate of Yuefu and extended inward, and exclaimed, "This is all the canopy?" How much money does this get! ”

"Less than 20,000 silver." Mrs. Yan looked at Grandma Zhao, said lightly, turned her head to look at Mrs. Qian and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for this major event, I really didn't know that our shack makers in the capital were so amazing, the old lady of the in-laws came that day, and said that there were a lot of mosquitoes, and she had to build a canopy, and now she took 20,000 silver to me, and now, it is only ten days younger, you see, it is all set up, I still told the old lady at the time, I was afraid that it would be too late, you see, I slapped my face." ”

"Money can make the devil grind, your old lady can scatter the silver, the shackler can not do his best, not the shackleman, but the silver." Mrs. Qian looked at Grandma Zhao, who was staring wide-eyed, "Your fifth brother's big event, up to now, the old lady of the Xu family has taken fifty or sixty thousand silver, and your aunt has settled accounts with me before, saying that in addition to the silver brought by the old lady of the Xu family, what comes out of your house is less than half of the time when you and your eldest brother got married. ”

Grandma Zhao glanced at Mrs. Yan and said nothing.

"Grandma also went to add makeup to the Tang family's sister." Li Xia answered, and Li Wennan immediately followed, "Yes, yes, I went with Axia, Mrs. Huang's eyes were like this, her eyes were so big, and she said that she had never heard of a man's family adding makeup to a woman's family." ”

Li Wennan learned from Mrs. Huang's stunned look, "Grandma said that she is not a man, she is the grandmother of the fifth brother, and she is also the grandmother of the fifth sister-in-law, saying that this makeup must be added, alas, I like my grandmother too much." ”

"What's up?" Mrs. Qian blinked, and out of the corner of her eye, she was looking at Grandma Zhao and the others who were obedient with their ears pricked up.

"Two shops, two Zhuangzi, and a pile of gold, grandma's gold is all counted in a pile." Li Wennan drew in a circle with both hands.

Grandma Zhao's face was slightly pale, and Grandma Huang kept snapping her eyelids, glancing at Grandma Zhao from time to time, with a face that couldn't hide her excitement and gossip, she knew that as soon as the fifth grandmother entered the door, it would be lively.

Grandma Shen San looked envious, the fifth master's marriage, the people scattered it, at least 100,000 silver......

Grandma Yao Si stared widely, her mouth was open, what about the pile of gold, what about the pile?

Mrs. Yan looked at the three daughters-in-law one by one, and sighed secretly, her son is not promising, and her daughters-in-law are also very good, alas, forget it, I don't want to do this.

The group took a closer look from the inside out, the Yongning Bo Mansion at this time, clean and dusty, bright and dazzling, the maid and servant, the long follower, one by one from the inside to the outside of the clean clean, changed into festive new clothes, energetic, just waiting to receive the dowry, into the fifth grandmother who did not enter the door, took the lead.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Qian took Li Dong and Grandma Yao Si to check the inside and outside of the Yongning Bo Mansion again, returned to the conference hall, and waited for the head to carry the dowry into the door.

The time when the Tang family issued the dowry, as well as the time when the marriage was made, was carefully determined by Tang Shangshu and asked Qin Tianjian to make it carefully.

Just after that, the porter guarding the entrance of the alley rushed to report, and came over with a dowry.

Li Xia and Li Wennan hurriedly ran out and stood at the door of the courtyard of the new house, waiting to see the dowry.

As soon as the two of them stood still, Mrs. Guo took the eighth lady Li Wenmei, shook the handkerchief, and staggered over. At a glance, seeing Li Xia and Li Wennan, who were smiling brightly and greeting her, they wanted to turn around and go back.

"Second aunt, A-Niang said that if you see the second aunt, you will annoy the second aunt to look at the dowry in this courtyard, she is busy over there and can't take care of it." Li Wennan waved her hand and happily conveyed her aunt's instructions.

Second Mrs. Guo's face tightened, snorted, and took Li Wenmei into the courtyard of the new house.

Li Xia smiled and let her go, and grabbed Li Wenmei who was following her, "Eighth sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, the eldest aunt said, let you go with me and the seventh sister, take a good look at the dowry, and go to watch the people share the happy money, and tomorrow the happy sedan chair is coming, let us scatter the happy money together." ”

Li Wenmei stood still and looked timidly at Mrs. Guo in front of her.

"The eldest aunt also said that I want to show you people. Shh, I overheard this sentence, so my sister shouldn't know. Li Xia leaned over to Li Wenmei's ear and bit her ear.

Li Wenmei's eyes lit up, she paused for a moment, and Li Wennan squeezed up, "What are you talking about?" Axia, what did you say to Eighth Sister? You can't hide it from me. ”

"I'll tell you later." Li Xia smiled and looked at the second Mrs. Guo who was leaning at the three of them, she hated being like that old ancestor, who only dared to bully the children who were not adults.
