Li Xiaoqi didn't go anywhere for a day in the half-acre garden, early the next morning, Li Zongliang and others entered Kaiping Mansion, Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng went straight to the second gate, the gate was very lively for a while, Li Zongliang jumped off the horse, and helped Mr. Fan down in the back car, Li Erhuai didn't jump off the horse and began to look around, Li Xiaoqi laughed and said loudly: "Brother Erhuai, don't look for it, Sister Zhang, they are busy in Brother Shuisheng's new house." ”

Li Erhuai's face was tanned, and he couldn't tell whether his face was red or not, he threw the reins to the little guy, and arched his hand at Wei Shuisheng first: "Congratulations to the second brother!" Turning around again, he reached out and pinched Li Xiaomi's shoulder, and said, "Why is Xiaoqi still so thin?!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly slapped his hand away: "Your hands are so heavy!" The shoulder makes you pinch! While speaking, Li Zonggui jumped over and greeted Wei Shuisheng, squeezed over to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Xiaoqi's complexion is okay." ”

Zhang Tiemu, Jiang Shuncai, Cheng Wang and Wei Shuisheng saw the salute, and gave Li Xiaoqi a salute to the end, crowded at the gate, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly let everyone in, these days, Willow Hutong and the new house, came to give congratulatory gifts when there was no stop, this group of people delayed at the gate for a while, and the congratulatory gifts had to be queued up outside, Li Xiaoqi let everyone in, jumped down the steps, took a few steps over, and Li Zongliang helped Mr. Fan to enter the gate.

Everyone sat down in the main hall, and talked about Wei Shuisheng's wedding the next day, and talked about the congratulatory gifts piled up in the courtyard for a while, Li Xiaoqi smiled and sent Li Erhuai, Zhang Tiemu and Jiang Shuncai to hurry back after a few became families, and they would come over to help early tomorrow morning, and let Cheng Wang go down to bathe and rest, Li Zongliang and others drank a cup of tea, and were also busy going back to bathe and wash, and they kept rushing for a few days day and night, all of them smelled of sweat.

Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng drank tea in the main hall and gossiped and waited for everyone to come out, not long after, Mr. Fan changed into a light gray summer cloth robe and came out, Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng hurriedly went down the steps to pick him up, let him sit on the head, Mr. Fan looked much thinner and older, but his eyes were quiet as if there was no human in the deep well and cold pool, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan with a slight look, Mr. Fan took the tea handed by Wei Shuisheng, took a sip and smiled and said: "Xiao Mi doesn't need to clean up the residence for me, I can stay with Runwen for a night or two, After finishing the happy event of Runwen, I wanted to go to Yanyun Temple outside the city to live and practice for a long time. ”

"What did you say, sir!" Wei Shuisheng was startled, Mr. Fan put down the cup slowly, turned his head to look at the two of them and said with a smile: "It's not a year or two of thinking, since I resigned and returned to my hometown, I have always had such thoughts. Mr. Fan paused for a moment, sighed as if he didn't have anything, and then said: "That is, this winter and next spring, your eldest brother will become a relative again, and I will have no obstacles, next spring, I want to go out for a walk, take a look at the beautiful scenery of the world, and meet the ancient temple monks for a while, this is the fulfillment of my wish." ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan silently and sadly, sighed, and didn't persuade much, only smiled and responded: "Mr. wants to travel, just go all the way south along Huainan Road, you can go wherever you like, Wu Di will not be peaceful for a while." ”

"Well," Mr. Fan nodded in response, Li Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, Mr. Fan looked at her, and said gently: "Everyone is blessed, you and I don't have to worry too much." Li Xiaoyi's eyes were sour, and he nodded hurriedly.

On this day, people came and went, and everyone didn't have time to talk about the old days, after lunch, Mr. Fan stayed at home to rest, Li Xiaoqi, Li Zongliang and others went to Wei Shuisheng's new house to be busy with the wedding, Sister Zhang, Mrs. Sun and Mingwan have been busy for several days, Li Erhuai and others have arrived after bathing and changing clothes, but they are busy watching the excitement.

After the day was so busy that everyone was decided, everyone got in the car and went back, but Mama Zhang and Mama Lu took the girls and mothers-in-law to rest in the Wei house, preparing to send the makeup crown pollen early the next morning.

The next day, even if the wedding began, early in the morning, when Li Xiaoqi and Li Zongliang and others rushed to the Wei house, Mama Zhang had already sent the official media to send away the makeup box, Wisteria just watched the people make tea and send it up, Lu Feng arrived, looked around and watched the excitement, sat down and laughed with Li Zonggui, not long, the water family's official clothes and flowers and other return gifts were delivered, accompanied by the steward of the water house, saw Li Xiaoyi, smiled and reported that there were many more makeup yesterday, and the dowry of the seventh lady was a few more, discussed that he wanted to pay the dowry as soon as possible, and Li Xiaoqi naturally agreed.

Just after the afternoon, the Shui family first came over with more than a dozen neat middle-aged servants, and gave Li Xiaoqi a salute.

After the servant, Shuilian's dowry began to be carried into the Wei Mansion like flowing water, and the dowry was carried by a young and sturdy young man, with neat and neat hair, wearing a big red footless head, wearing red and black-edged arrow sleeves, and red pants, Li Xiaoqi was on the second floor of the Xiangkou Tea House, lying on the windowsill, looking down, and Wisteria sighed: "•••••• you see, these dowry bearers are so neat, how rare!" ”

"I heard that it was the person who was looking for the uncle of the Shui family, two people who carried the dowry, and the dowry of the Seventh Lady was said to be one hundred and sixty earlier, and there were many people who added makeup for a while, and now I don't know how many of them have been lifted, and the dowry is only worth four or five hundred people, and the people of the Seventh Lady's family are all counted, and there are more than 100 people!" Wisteria smiled and continued, Li Xiaoqi nodded, and continued to lie on the windowsill to watch the excitement, the dowry in the front had entered the gate of the Wei Mansion, and the dowry in the back was connected into a strong and festive red line, winding out along the street, flowing slowly all the way, and there was no end in sight.

On both sides of the street, there were men and women who were watching the excitement, pointing out the dowry that had been lifted, estimating and guessing, marveling and envious, and the shopkeepers and men of those shops were no longer in business, and they all squeezed out to see that this was almost a rich dowry team that had not been seen in a hundred years.

There was a sound of 'knock knock' footsteps on the stairs of the teahouse, and Cherry came in with a stacked red cover and book-like booklet, and bent her knees with a smile on her face: "Girl, this is the bride's dowry list, Mama Zhang asked me to send it to the girl to see." Wisteria hurriedly took it and handed it to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi didn't take the booklet, just looked at the cherry and asked, "Why did you give me this booklet?" Mama Zhang, they don't use it? ”

"Back to the girl, there are two copies of this booklet, and the grandmother left a dowry, and this one will be sent to the girl." Cherry replied with a smile, Li Xiaoqi nodded, and motioned to Wisteria: "Look at it, tell me anything special." Wisteria motioned to Cherry to go back, looked at the booklet and said with a smile: "Clothes and jewelry, silk and fur, antiques, and furniture, not to mention, in addition to this, the Shui family accompanied a total of eight family members, a total of forty-two people." ”

Li Xiaoqi poured himself a cup of tea and was about to drink it, but he was startled when he heard it: "Aren't half of the people of the Shui family coming over with the Seventh Lady?" Wisteria smiled and nodded: "Not half, there are also three percent, the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion sent six guards to guard the courtyard, the Marquis of Jingjiang Mansion sent two mothers-in-law, two servants, and two girls waiting for pen and ink." Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, smiled and motioned to Wisteria to continue, Wisteria also pursed his lips and smiled and whispered: "I heard that Second Master Shui came back, and he was beaten up by the Seventh Lady." ”

"Yes!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled, the two laughed for a while, and then Wisteria continued: "There are four Zhuangzi, two are on the edge of Kaiping Mansion, one is in Ji County, which is not far from Pingfu, and one is in Yao County, which is close to Liangdi, and two Zhuangzi on the edge of Kaiping Mansion, one is two hundred acres, which is the Zhuangzi she deserves to marry in her own clan, but her two hundred acres of land are excellent fertile land, and one is only more than 130 acres, half of which is an orchard, which was added to her by Tongda/Grandma, and the one in Jixian County has more than 300 acres, which was left to her by her grandmother. The largest one in Yao County, more than 700 acres, was her mother's dowry, which was originally to be left to her brother, and her brother gave it to her. ”

Li Xiaoqi was a little stunned when she heard this, and while looking at the dowry team that was still flowing below, she continued to listen to Wisteria explain the dowry of the water lotus: "There are not many courtyards for •••••• to marry, just two, a three-entry courtyard on Dongdazhi Street in the city, a small courtyard on Xuefeng Mountain outside the city, a total of twelve ••••••shops, two were given to her by her father, Mrs. Anyuan Hou added two, Mrs. Jingjiang Hou added two, Tongda/grandmother brother Uncle Tong added two, President Qian of the Yuanfeng Pavilion said that he had added three rooms to the Yuanfeng Hall and one room to Liang Di'an's house. Li Xiaoqi drank the tea, nodded slowly, Wisteria turned the booklet in his hand from the back and said: "The back half of this is almost all the makeup added by each family, even the queen also asked people to send a ruby head to add makeup to the seventh lady, this Kaiping Mansion, large and small, everyone who can climb it, there is no one who can add a little or two, Princess Ning gave a pair of jade bracelets, and several ladies of the Guo family have also added a lot of valuables••••••

"I don't need to go into details." Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to stop the wisteria: "Go back, you quietly copy a copy back." Wisteria smiled, accepted the booklet, and squeezed together with Li Xiaoyi, and said with a smile while looking down: "Speaking of which, the seventh lady is the most blessed, although our second master is said to have •••••• talent and character of our second master, where can I find it?" There is also a sister-in-law like a girl, and I don't know how much of this makeup is for the girl's face••••••"

Li Xiaoqi stuffed the cup into Wisteria's hand and interrupted her: "This is her blessing, it is also the blessing of Brother Shuisheng, and it is their own blessing." Wisteria took the cup with a smile, made another cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiaoyi, and didn't talk more, just watched the rare liveliness of the lively market with Li Xiaoyi.
