Chapter 519: Entering the Door (Part II)
Chapter 519: Entering the 'Gate' (Medium)
Soon the house was full of people again, and Mrs. Zhongqinbo greeted Eleven Niang even more diligently, and Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady politely greeted her, and then left the new house under the pretext of having something. Quick read
It was already the beginning of the child, and both of them were a little tired, so after saying a few words, they went back to the house.
It's just that as soon as Eleven Niang stepped into the steps of the main courtyard, the 'jade' version on Mrs. Tai's side hurriedly walked over.
"Fourth Madame," she gasped slightly, "Madame Tai asked you to come over and said that she had two things to say." ”
Eleven Niang and her went to Mrs. Tai's place.
The room was still brightly lit, and under the lights, the "color" of fatigue was clear at a glance.
Eleven Niang stepped forward and saluted, and Mrs. Tai had already sent the one who served beside her, and asked Eleven Niang in a low voice: "How is the bride?" ”
It turned out to be worried about this
Eleven Niang looked at the crow's feet carved into the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes, and felt that Mrs. Tai was much older than when she first met.
She couldn't help but take Mrs. Tai's hand and said in a low voice, "It's okay for now." Then he told Mrs. Tai what he had seen and heard, "...... looks very good, has read a lot of books, acts generously and steadily, "I think of the two companions," "It's not the kind of person who hasn't seen the world," and thought of the lobby sister-in-law, "I'm afraid it's not the kind of in-laws who swallow their anger." ”
Mrs. Tai disagreed: "No matter who the third daughter-in-law 'wife' marries with, no matter how good-tempered a person is, she will become a little temperamental." But in the end, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he let out a long sigh, "Then we can only see if there is anything wrong the morning after tomorrow."
The auspicious time is set late, and when the guests are sent away, it is almost dawn, and they will recognize their relatives early tomorrow morning, and the candle night of the "hole" room and "flower" can only be arranged tomorrow night. If there is no unexpected 'episode' the morning after tomorrow, this is a good family affair.
Eleven Niang nodded and comforted Mrs. Tai: "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong." He added, "I see that you look tired." Otherwise, you can get some rest tomorrow morning. I'm going to go to the hall early anyway to confess my relatives, so let the mother in charge come to me to show me something."
"No," Mrs. Tai smiled, with a hint of cunning in her smile, "You can't control her." Or I'm coming, you can go and rest. It's only right to bring my brother with me. ”
Although Mrs. Tai is good to Brother Jin, she always has a taste of pity, and she has less pity for Brother Jin, but she likes it more heartily.
How is the expenses of Xu Siqin's marriage arranged at home, Shi Niang doesn't know - Xu Lingyi won't care about this, Mrs. Tai didn't mention it, and she didn't dare to ask, some people inevitably misunderstood that she pinched a foot and didn't let go of five inches. Now listening to Mrs. Tai's tone, it seems that she is carrying it with the third lady. Then it will be even more difficult for her to ask.
She wanted to serve Mrs. Tai to rest, but Mrs. Tai waved her hand: "Mother Du and I still have something to say, you go back, don't let the fourth child drink so much wine, he is not young, and drinking too much wine hurts his body." ”
Eleven Niang replied "yes" and retreated. Then he instructed Zhu Xiang: "...... How is the cost of the eldest young master's marriage calculated? ”
The next day, Xu Siyu, Xu Sizhen, Xu Sijie, Sister Zhen and Aunt Wen and Aunt Qiao came to greet each other at dawn, and Eleven Niang dressed up and received their gifts, surrounded by a large group of maids and mothers-in-law, and led the children to the small 'flower' hall next to the main hall - Xu Siqin and Fang's relatives recognized here.
As soon as she stood still, the fifth lady came with Sister Xin and Brother Xu.
Sister Xin immediately shook off the 'milk' mother and ran over to take Brother Jin'er's hand. Brother Jin looked at her and giggled twice, and became impatient, throwing away her hand and twisting her body to look at the big red happy words posted in the hall.
Sister Xin was a little uncomfortable, and Xu Sizhen had already stepped forward to ask Sister Xin, "Why didn't I see you when I opened the banquet yesterday?" There is a sesame snowball, the bread is osmanthus 'flower' filling, I think you must like to eat, let Biluo send some over, can you eat? ”
Sister Xin'er's expression eased when she heard this, and she smiled shallowly, and her delicate children's voice carried a little joy: "The 'milk' mother said that it was made of glutinous rice, and she was only allowed to eat half of it." As the fourth brother said, it was delicious."
Xu Sizhen listened happily, and the brother and sister lowered their heads and talked together.
Xu Siyu's gaze fell on Brother Jin'er.
I saw Brother Jin wearing a big red carved silk five bats holding clouds and 'flowers', white silk 'pants', a collar with a red gold pendant and a golden lock in front of his chest, pink makeup and 'jade', and a pair of big black eyes that were shining, as cute as the golden boy in front of Guanyin. When his eyes met him, he grinned, but he didn't stay long, and was soon attracted by the big red lantern hanging above his head.
The corners of Xu Siyu's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he 'revealed' a faint smile.
Sister Zhen took Xu Sijie's hand and followed closely behind Shi Niang, and greeted Nanjing's grand * 'milk', rich two 'milk', 'milk' and Dingsan 'milk'. Among them, Hongda* 'milk' and rich two 'milk' and 'milk' have brought their eldest daughters-in-law here, and they haven't seen each other for a few years, so they can't help but recognize their relatives and ask about their respective situations. was lively, and the third lady walked in with a smile and accompanied Mrs. Zhongqinbo and several aunts, aunts, and aunts of the Gan family.
Mrs. Gan smiled and stood with the eleventh mother's concubines and several concubines to talk, but left the concubines, aunts, and grandmothers of the family aside, and several sisters-in-law of the third lady couldn't help pouting, and saw Zhong Qinbo, Xu Lingkuan, and several uncles, aunts, and Xu Sijian of the Gan family walking in with Xu Lingyi hugging Xu Lingyi.
There was a lot of noise in the 'flower' hall.
Everyone sat down in the side hall with men and women, and the Gan Laoquan family led Xu Siqin and the Fang family over.
The newcomer first saluted Xu Lingyi and others, except for Xu Lingyi, who gave a meeting gift to the red gold dragon and phoenix bracelet on behalf of the third master, the rest of the people said something like "husband and wife should respect each other like guests", and then went to the side hall full of 'women' and children on the right to salute.
The third lady looked at her son and daughter-in-law who kowtowed to her, couldn't help but burst into tears, took the shoes and socks made by Fang's, and kept praising them, making Fang's face red. Qiu Ling hurriedly handed over the big red gold box.
Fang took it with both hands, and everyone's eyes fell on Eleven Niang, the highest status in this room.
Eleven Niang looked at the phoenix hairpin with red gold inlaid with emeralds, rubies, opals, lotus seeds, and rice-sized pearls on the head of the third lady. She nodded slightly, took the big red gold-painted box in Qiu Yu's hand and was about to hand it over, but the fifth lady smiled: "Slow, slow." Since we are recognizing our relatives today, we can't run away. One by one. ”
Everyone looked at the Fifth Lady.
Eleven Niang's hand over the box froze slightly, and then took it back.
"The third sister-in-law married such a daughter-in-law who is like a 'flower' and a 'jade', and I don't know if I really like it or fake it?" The fifth lady covered her sleeves and smiled, "What you say doesn't count, just look at what you gave today's meeting gift?" As he spoke, he motioned for Qiu Ling to open the box, "Seeing is believing, and hearing is false." ”
The third lady smiled slightly when she heard this, and there were three points of reserve and seven points of pride in her smile.
Qiu Ling smiled and opened the box.
Inside is a set of red gold full of Chi Jiao's distractions, although the appearance is a little old, but it is also five or six taels.
The third lady's sister-in-law felt that this greeting gift was acceptable, and smiled when she looked at it: "What? The fifth lady can be satisfied. ”
"That's pretty much it," the fifth lady laughed.
Fang Clan lowered his head a little embarrassed.
The smug 'color' on the third lady's face became even stronger.
Everyone's eyes fell on Eleven Niang again.
Eleven Niang 'revealed' a little hesitant 'color'.
The third lady's sister-in-law rolled her eyes when she saw it, and said with a smile: "Fourth lady, our mother's family is waiting."
Shi Niang smiled when she heard this, and handed the box to Fang's: "Little meaning, don't dislike your nephew and daughter-in-law."
The sister-in-law of the third lady saw that she did not open the box and did not show it in front of everyone, it must be something bad. Thinking about what good things their family did, the Xu family didn't add a little more silver in addition to the usual practice. He smiled coldly in his heart, and immediately said: "Mrs. Yongpinghou's meeting gift, how can it also open our eyes?"
A trace of anxiety flashed in Fang's eyes when she heard this, and she looked at Xu Siqin as if she was busy asking for help.
Xu Siqin just smiled and stood aside.
The fourth aunt has always been sincere in her treatment of people, even if things are not valuable, she usually wins with ingenuity, which is very brilliant, and he is not worried.
Fang Clan had no choice, and opened the box with a slightly gloomy look.
On the purple-red 'colored' velvet felt cushion lies quietly a red gold 'flower' hairpin. The hairpin head is as big as the mouth of the bowl, carved with the style of the phoenix in the fly. The phoenix is lifelike, the carving is 'fine', spreading its wings and flying, and looking at each other in the clouds. The clouds are layered and unpredictable, ringing around the phoenix, and because it is made of new gold, the facets are shining with gold, and people can't open their eyes.
Some people lost their voices and said, "It's beautiful", and some people thought about it, "There are more than a dozen or two of these."
"Well, that's too expensive." Fang Shi looked up at Eleven Niang as if he had been burned.
"The phoenix is flying, and its feathers are bright." Eleven Niang smiled gently at her, "Fourth Aunt wishes you all to grow old together and tie the knot forever." ”
Fang's was a little 'agitated'.
This sentence is from the Book of Songs? Daya? Juan A" is usually used to wish couples to love each other and have a happy marriage. It is the one she often 'chanted' in her heart before she got married.
"Thank you, Aunt Four," she bowed her knees deeply.
The Fang family is a family of poetry and books, Xu Siqin heard the words of the sister-in-law in the hall, and saw that the Fang family looked like he was full of poetry and books, so he was always a little worried that the Fang family would be arrogant because of this...... But I heard the fifth aunt laugh teasingly: "Third sister-in-law, this is not good." You are a mother-in-law, how can you be compared to the fourth sister-in-law. Why should I add a little bit anyway? Quick, hurry up and add two things to my nephew and daughter-in-law'. ”
The third lady's face couldn't help but stiffen, and she was happy that Eleven Niang had made a face for herself, and she was annoyed that the fifth lady was too uninteresting. Just as she was about to reply to two sentences, the fifth lady had already opened the box she brought: "Mine is here, and when the third sister-in-law adds a meeting gift to her nephew and daughter-in-law, she will send it out immediately." ”
Immediately there was a jewel floating in the room.
Some people gasped, some people looked at it with straight eyes, and some people praised it loudly: "It's really more generous than the other." ”
On the purple-red 'colored' velvet felt cushion lay quietly a sideburn 'flower', the size of a wine cup, a red gold tray, and a fingernail-sized ruby as a 'flower' petal, shining with dazzling brilliance.
