The furniture of the Bian Purchase Office was finally shipped to the capital, and the date was later than expected, and Shi and Shuning were anxious. And Shu Ning was even more surprised to find that in addition to a few pairs of nanmu boxes, many of those furniture were not originally scheduled nanmu, but were actually huanghuali. It would cost a lot of money, and her face sank, and she hurriedly repaid her mother.

As a result, he told her, "You forgot? Originally, it was said that it was played in Suzhou, so it was natural to get Nanmu, but later it was changed to play in Guangzhou, where to find those many Nanmu? However, huanghuali is easier to obtain. Not long after you and Cousin Ning went, you wrote back a letter to talk about it. But I'm not at home, and he doesn't know you're in charge of this, so it's your aunt who asks. It was your aunt who ordered the change of Huanghuali. ”

Although Shuning felt that the Nala clan was a little unhappy, but this matter was originally made by her first, so it was not good to say anything, but she just had to come to the account book to see how much it spent. I couldn't help but be taken aback when I saw that there were more than three hundred of the eight thousand taels that I handed over at the beginning.

Later, I found out that after paying for the furniture, instead of buying a bulky and luxurious chiming clock and a gold-carved grandfather clock, it was better to buy a simple gold-plated grandfather clock, and pocket watches and the like, presumably Beizifu had them, so there was no need to buy another one, so he wrote to Jingli and changed the list. At that time, the clan was already in Beijing, and just received a silver pocket watch from Rong's grandmother Da Liu to add a box to Shuning, so he agreed. Later, Huo comprador helped pay for the jade embroidery bonsai, so he also saved. As a result, the original eight thousand taels, deducting Hening's hard-earned money, there was still a leftover.

Shuning asked why Huo comprador wanted to help pay for the bonsai, but he smiled and said: "He has a lot of benefits, what is this idea." "It turned out that Zhang Bao and the clan made a match, so that Jin Bao and Huo Comprador reached an agreement to sell an excellent shop in Liulichang under the name of the Baron's Mansion to the latter for 6,500 taels. Then Zhang Bao wrote to Xingbao and introduced the Huo family's Zhenbaoxuan. Now Huo Comprador not only has a good shop, has the backing to do business safely, but also can catch up with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there will be countless gold and silver mountains in the future. For Zhang Bao's family, he is naturally generous.

He also sent another box of jewels and gemstones, all of which were medium or higher good things. It's a pity that Shuning's jewelry has been placed, and after discussing with his mother, only three of them were made into falling corners or spare pieces of land, which were used as dowries, one percent was given to the big house, one percent was given to Zhenzhen, and the rest was tightly put away by the family and kept for later use.

The big house got a few thousand taels of silver. Although it is a public high school, it greatly alleviates the embarrassment of the tension of the bank. The Li family held the financial power and did not spend too much because of it, so the money was enough for a long time. They were naturally happy that they had all received jewelry. Even the Nala clan was very happy because they thought that once the four Baylors were crowned kings, their daughters would be the side blessings, and these jewels could be used to set their heads. Since then, he has become very close to Sanfang, and even asked his daughter-in-law to be generous and sent a bonsai to Shuning to marry.

Sifu Jin Yumin, Wufu Jin Yuanning, Qifu Jin Weiguan, Prince Kang's mansion, as well as Fangning, Erfang, Sifang, Tatara's family, and the family all sent jewelry to add boxes, and the family added all the things that were collected at the right time, so that Shuning's dowry was richer.

The Zhuangzi in the Juma River harvested a round of wheat and beans this year. Not bad. Shuning also asked people to change the sandy land into a watermelon field, dig ponds on some barren ground, plant lotus roots, and plant many fruit trees, and only ten and a half hectares of real farmland remain. The rooms were redesigned by her. It was changed into a three-entry courtyard. The income from the field is offset by the cost of renovation, which is just the same.

Shuning counted the general ledger, not counting the original things, because of the savings on bonsai, clocks, furniture, clothing, clothing and jewelry, plus the furniture in Beijing, all kinds of supplies, porcelain, fat powder, a total of only 16,000. If you count the profits from the open source project led by yourself, the family actually spent less than 10,000 taels. Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it didn't bring too much burden to the family, and several properties can be profitable for a long time, so I think the parents, brothers and nephews in the family will have a prosperous life in the future.

The maids and servants who accompanied the marriage were also selected. Outside of frangipani holly. added two little girls, sandalwood and chrysanthemum, as well as Niu Xiaosi's two sons, Su Xin's uncle Friday Fu's family, cousin Zhou Chang's family, and Wang Yin's family. There are a total of four people, among whom Zhou Chang's family and Wang Yin's family are all confinement sisters-in-law. In the past year or so, I have waited for several pregnant women and mothers, which can be regarded as experienced. Only then did Shuning understand her mother's intentions, although she was embarrassed, she was very moved in her heart.

Ten days before the wedding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a mama to guide the etiquette rules and taboos of the wedding. After two years of relaxation, Shuning lived a few more days of restraint. The most painful thing was that the grandmothers pointed out that her ear piercing was not in accordance with the rules and that she had to prick a few more times. It turned out that the Manchu noblewoman should have pierced three ears per ear. Shuning didn't know that when she proposed it before, she didn't force it when she saw that her daughter was afraid of pain; Mama Cui's old eyes were dizzy, and she didn't notice it; During the draft, the conditions were relaxed, and there were several show girls who only wore two pierced ears, so no one said anything. But now that I'm going to marry into the palace, I can't mix it up anymore.

No wonder Su Su, Yuan Ning, Yu Min, Jia Hui and Wei Wan all wear six ear piercings.

Those grandmothers' ear piercing skills are not bad. They have already been mentioned by many people, so they are quite polite to the Shuning family. The big wedding dress of the Internal Affairs Office was also quickly made and delivered, and Shuning put away the red embroidered cheongsam she made with some regret, and prepared to wear it as an auspicious dress in the future.

All the dowry dowries are all ready, with Shuning, Zhenzhen, plus Xiao Liu and two, five people do it themselves, pack the small things one by one, and the large ones are packed by Changfu and others. It turned out that there were more than 40 boxes of jewelry, and if you count other things, it would definitely be more than 128 lifts. So he waved his hand: "Squeeze the small pieces." So a box of collars became two or four boxes, the pendants and the fragments of the jewels were placed in one box, and the bracelet earrings were divided according to their texture, and they were packed into a pile, making a total of thirty-six boxes of jewelry. Then let the fat powder and the grooming family squeeze it, and save another lift. The furniture is dressed in several cases, the two handles are put together, and the calligraphy and pictures are rolled up and boxed. Finally, with the luggage of the servant of the bridal maid, it just happened to be the whole fairy girlfriend who fell in love with me read the whole one hundred and two.

The day before the wedding, the Baron's Mansion and Sanfang each sent a few family members, led by Zhenzhen, to Beizi's Mansion to deliver the dowry, attracting many onlookers along the way.

The first to be carried is the dowry book. The big red silk was tied very joyfully. This is followed by twelve new tiles, symbolizing twelve rooms, which is the number of houses in the Zhuangzi land of Juma River. Ten pieces of adobe, wrapped in colored paper, symbolize ten hectares of land. Then there's the furniture. All kinds of beds, couches, desks, tables and chairs, cabinets, multi-treasure grids, stools, hangers, dressing mirrors, etc., there are yellow pear ground, there are black acid branches, and Nanmu ground, exquisite craftsmanship. The shape is elegant, although there is no gold paint, and there are not too many inlays and large carvings, but it is full of exquisiteness.

Next, Ruyi, clocks, and bonsai are all full of wealth, and all kinds of porcelain, grooming and gouache are not ordinary objects.

Covering clothes, sewing rulers, shoes and socks, purses, etc., are shiny but not tacky.

The most striking jewelry. There were only eighteen lifts before and after, but the box was so full that it barely fell out. All kinds of beads, bracelets, accessories, finger moves, collars, phoenix hairpins, hairpins, bracelet rings, earrings, rings, flat squares, tanzi and fragmentary jewelry, dazzling.

When all the things were delivered to Beizi Mansion and laid out one by one in the front yard for people to enjoy, everyone was amazed. Especially the lifting bed. It is not a common style in the capital, and at the same time, it is not bulky at all, but it also has a different kind of elegance and wealth. Some people estimate that the carving and materials cannot be purchased without three or four thousand taels in the capital. When Jinjin heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. Still putting on a dignified look.

When Prince Jane's eldest daughter-in-law, Guerjia, saw these dowries, she couldn't help but sink her heart: I underestimated that person.

originally thought that this brother-in-law had an average family background, an ordinary family background, and the legend was not very favored in the family, and the marriage should not be rich, so she could not be taken into account in the future. I didn't expect the dowry to be so rich, I'm afraid that even the prince and Ji Fujin will be impressed. If you want to make the people in this house disobey her, I'm afraid it's very difficult.

She thought of her two aunts and cousins, and she was deflated. It was she who persuaded her cousin to try to marry Tongying. I didn't expect it to be unsuccessful, and my cousin was so tired that he couldn't even get married. worked hard to find a way to get her to marry another Beizi, but with Tongying's great achievements, Yun Yun was unhappy in her husband's family. It is inevitable that I will put jealousy on the lucky one. Just for now. This daughter of the lieutenant family is not so easy to be bullied.

Stuff was laid out for a long time. and he will be put into the house. The furniture was all moved into the main house, which was originally built to size and was placed in a short time. Jinjin helps with makeup. After everything was done, the head of Beizi Mansion took a few people and followed the makeup team to the Baron's Mansion to replace Tongying to thank the makeup.

That night, Shuning talked to her parents and family for several hours, and at night she slept in the same bed with her and taught her the etiquette of husband and wife. Shuning laughed as she listened, although she still knew a little about these things, but she still wrote them down carefully.

The next afternoon, she washed her face, ate dinner early, and began to put on makeup. Mrs. Beizi's dress was extremely heavy, with a four-clawed python pattern embroidered with gold thread on it, and after wearing it, it was a little inconvenient to move around. Frangipani helped her tie her hair in a bun, then restrained her hair with luxurious gold, and then put on a ceremonial crown. There are six eastern pearls on this crown, and the most amazing thing is the two layers of golden wisps on the top hat, which are extremely thin and delicate. However, although the things are beautiful, they are not comfortable to wear on the body, and she is put on a collar, a collar, and a pearl...... She couldn't help sighing: It was not easy to be a bride in ancient times, no wonder it was necessary for people to carry it away, and it would be good for her to move like this.

Fortunately, Beizi's marriage is customized, which is less than the average wedding, but the etiquette is more than enough.

The people of the Bezi Mansion soon came to the outside of the Baron's Palace. He didn't dare to do anything to kill the prestige, the door of the house opened early, several officials entered the house with honor guards, and the sedan chair stopped in the middle hall. Several grandmothers from the Internal Affairs Office entered the inner courtyard and confirmed that the bride Shuning was complete, and then signaled that the auspicious time was coming.

Shi shed tears and said to his daughter, "In the future...... You are from another family, you must be filial to your in-laws, considerate of your husband, if you are wronged, you must tell your family ......"

Shuning's heart was sour, recalling the affection she had received from her parents and brothers since she crossed over, she couldn't help but burst into tears, took her mother's hand and said, "Eniang, I will come back to see ......you often in the future," and she was speechless. The mother and daughter hugged and cried.

Zhenzhen and Xiao Liu both rubbed their eyes, Zhang Bao and Duanning heard it outside the door, they were very reluctant, but after all, it was a big day, it was not good to show it too much, and when they heard the grandmothers urging, they persuaded the family and Shuning. Suddenly, Xianning also rushed up to hug his sister and cried, so frightened that Xiao Liu hurriedly pulled him away, so that he could talk for a long time.

Nala looked at his niece's appearance in a big dress, but he couldn't help but feel sad. Qiang Zi pressed down his sourness, and helped persuade the family to say: "The third brother and sister don't need to be like this, she will marry in Beijing, and she will open her own mansion, and everything can be decided." Isn't it easy to come back in the future? Don't miss the auspicious time. ”

Shi collected her tears, helped her daughter rearrange her makeup, and said, "In the future...... Take good care, E-Niang will always be your E-Niang. Shuning nodded, and asked the Li family and the Xitara clan to help cover the hijab, and they helped them out of the house together with the grandmothers of the Internal Affairs Office.

Shi sent her out of the Huai Courtyard, and other relatives were sent to the sedan chair, Shuning boarded the sedan chair, and soon heard the sound of gongs and drums. As Li's concubine boarded the car, Mama shouted "Shengyu", and Shuning felt that the sedan chair was lifted. The welcoming team set off for home. Zhang Bao was sent outside the second gate, and Duanning supported the sedan chair to get married.

Because Xianning is too small, Xiaobao is responsible for the sedan chair on the other side. He is thirteen years old this year, he has just entered the Zhenghongqi Official School, and his height has grown to the shoulders of his eldest brother Duanning.

From the Baron's Mansion to the Beizi Mansion, it was not far, and the guard of honor walked slowly for half an hour, and when it was completely dark, it arrived. The sedan chair entered the house from the middle gate and came to the front yard hall. Tongying has been waiting here for a long time.
