Chapter Ninety-Eight: Marriage (1)

Shuhua and Zhao Xuanhuan sat quietly on the side without saying anything else. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

It took Shuhua a long time to make up her mind to come out of the house and go to Yaohua's courtyard alone without taking anyone.

Yaohua was resting on the bed, and suddenly heard Xiangzhu say, "The eldest lady is here." "Busy sitting.

Xiangzhu followed Shuhua all the way into the house, "The second lady hasn't slept yet, I've been waiting for the eldest lady" said with a smile and went to move the brocade to Yaohua's bedside, and when Shuhua sat down, Xiangzhu retreated.

Yaohua saw Shuhua, curled her lips and smiled slightly, "I thought my sister was not coming, I heard that my sister was coming during the day, so I waited for it, and I was in a hurry, so I asked Xiangzhu to help me go to the front to see my sister, who knew that I was too tired to walk halfway through." But he didn't say that he was scared by Zhao Xuanhuan.

Shuhua frowned and looked at Yaohua who was smiling kindly, but Yaohua didn't notice her abnormality, and still talked to her enthusiastically, "How does my sister feel?" Saying that, he looked at Shuhua carefully, "My sister's complexion seems to be much better than before." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Shuhua's hand.

Yaohua's hands were cold, but she still cared about her.

I haven't seen Yaohua for a few days, she seems to be a lot thinner than before, her big eyes are flashing and staring at her, and her face is full of haggard and cute.

Shuhua thought for a long time before making up her mind, took out the sachet from her sleeve and threw it on Yaohua's bed, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

Yaohua looked at the sachet that was thrown and was a little puzzled, and raised her head to look at Shuhua, "Sister, what's wrong with this sachet?" ”

Shuhua said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, those nuns who pretend to be ghosts have some incense powder in their hands that are specially harmful to people, and there are those things in the sachets you make." I heard that some time ago, my mother listened to the words of that Ma Daopo very much, and almost asked Ma Daopo to repair the family nunnery in the house, and this Ma Daopo often came to your room, but you can tell me, do these things have anything to do with you? ”

Yaohua's eyes widened suddenly, and it took a while to understand what Shuhua meant, as if she had heard something incredible, "Sister means that I made this sachet on purpose to harm my sister?" The whole person seemed to be drained of all his strength at once, softened on the pillow, closed his mouth and bit his lip tightly, his face was extremely aggrieved, and he stopped talking.

Shuhua said: "I think about it carefully, I really often smelled this sachet during my miscarriage, and I found someone to identify it, and there are spices in it that make people have abortions." ”

Yaohua raised her head and said, "Is my sister having a misproduction because of this spice?" ”

Shuhua was slightly stunned, she asked Lang Zhong, although there was an abortion spice in it, it was not the main reason.

Yaohua's lips trembled, "Why should I hurt my sister?" Wouldn't I like to see my sister good? Don't you want the Tao family to be good? ”

Shuhua glanced at Yaohua and said her guess: "Maybe you want to marry the Zhao family." ”

Yaohua couldn't believe it at first, and then looked at her sister with a disappointed face, "Why does my sister use such words to belittle me?" Am I really so vicious all these years? My sisterhood with my sister for more than ten years is fake? I didn't know what my sister thought. What did I do to make my sister not believe me like this? As he spoke, he coughed incessantly.

Yaohua's thin body kept shaking and she couldn't breathe, and Shuhua habitually reached out to pat Yaohua's back.

Yaohua said: "Since I was a child, my sister didn't like me, and then there was a section where my sister really treated me well, although my sister has been saying that she owes me all these years, but I don't think so, but I think it's better, the most important thing for people to live in the world is love, and I have been content with my parents and sisters." He smiled miserably, "I'm like this now, what else can I do?" It's just someone else, what does my sister think of me? Then I really lived for nothing. ”

Yaohua is not young, but she has been at home because of her illness, and there is a strong smell of decoction in the house all year round.

"I just want to cover the smell of medicine on my body, I'm just afraid that I will be disliked outside, as for my sister...... How do I understand? If I knew, I wouldn't give my sister such a thing even if I died. I know that these years have dragged down my family and my sister, and my sister doesn't have to worry, I will ...... in the future," said the tears, "I won't have much time at home." ”

Shuhua frowned, "What do you mean by that?" And who said what? ”

Yaohua took out a silk to wipe her tears, "It's nothing, my sister just needs to be good." He lowered his hand and lay down on the bed.

Xiangzhu came in with the medicine, and the tears kept falling.

Shuhua asked Xiangzhu, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiangzhu said: "Miss said that she wants to marry the one named Gu Ying." As he spoke, he told Shuhua about Gu Ying.

Shuhua didn't know everything about Gu Ying, and when she heard about this today, she was shocked.

"There are so many people in the family, why do you want to marry you? I went to ask my mother why. ”

Yaohua smiled slightly, "I am the way I am now, if I can do something for the family, it is the best, and it is also my wish, why bother to spoil others, so my sister said that I don't have that thought, I can also use it to prove it, I just hope that my sister will not think of me like that again, I have nothing, only thinking about my grandmother, mother, and sister can survive, otherwise why should I suffer such a sin, I went earlier but was pure." ”

"I've been sick in bed all my life, and in the end, I can't get any reputation, and I ...... in my sister's heart I really didn't get anything in my life. After Yaohua said these words with difficulty, Shuhua suddenly felt sad when she saw Yaohua's appearance, and most of her previous suspicion and anger towards Yaohua suddenly dissipated.

"Don't say such a thing yet, I'll ask my mother." As he spoke, he got up and asked Xiangzhu to take care of Yaohua, and came out of Yaohua's house and went straight to the courtyard of the eldest lady.

After Shuhua left, Yaohua got up and drank the medicine.

Xiangzhu asked worriedly, "Miss, what should I do if your body looks like this?" ”

Yaohua's chest was suffocated, and she couldn't help but gasp, and it took a long time to calm down, and she shook her hand at Xiangzhu, "It's nothing." ”

Xiangzhu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help asking, "Miss, what should I do about that?" ”

Yaohua lay down and said softly: "I'm afraid there is no room for turning around now, I have to wait for the future to find a way...... "As she spoke, she looked at Xiangzhu, "It's just that you have to suffer with me...... In case I do have to get married, I'll find a way to keep you in the mansion. ”

Xiangzhu's nose was sour, tears fell, "Miss, where is this, no matter where Miss goes, the slave will always follow." ”

……

Shuhua entered the eldest lady's room, the eldest lady was calculating Ronghua's dowry with Chen's mother, and when she saw Shuhua coming, the eldest lady smiled and beckoned her to sit down, "You can also help calculate and see if these dowries are enough." ”

Where was Shuhua in the mood to look at this, but she told the eldest lady about Yaohua.

The eldest lady sighed, "This is also a helpless thing, now I just hope that your eighth sister will marry first, and this side will drag it out first, and then make plans in the future." ”

Shuhua frowned, "Mother just watched the birth and raising of the foreign mansion marry to the Hou Mansion as a wife?" "Look at the dowry that is more than she was back then." But let a concubine pick up the cheap, and your own daughter went to sacrifice for the Tao family, what is the reason. ”

The eldest lady said: "Then what can be done, the Hou Mansion has taken a fancy to Rong Hua." Today, the third old lady didn't use your eighth sister's affairs to suppress it. Do you think I want to? I've been fighting all these years not for you two sisters, it's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to think about anything else. ”

Shuhua heard what the eldest lady said, and felt that Yaohua had suffered a big loss, and then heard the eldest lady say, "Yaohua, this child has had twists and turns since he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be the same in marriage, no matter what, our Tao family owes her." ”

How could Shuhua still be able to say anything else, so she only sat in the big lady's room for a while and returned to her yard. Shuhua thought about it again and again, and felt that she had misunderstood Yaohua, but she didn't know how to explain it to Zhao Xuanhuan, and after thinking about it, she could only slowly clarify this misunderstanding in the future.

Zhao Xuanhuan looked at Shuhua's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, knowing that Shuhua was being swayed by his sister again, although Shuhua had a little kindness in her heart, she used it for stupidity, and she didn't bother to mention it to Shuhua again, and the couple went back to the Hou Mansion together without mentioning it.

Because Yanhua and Xiuhua secretly went to see archery first, Tao Mansion was stricter with several daughters who were about to get married. But if the banquet is just done in a hurry, he will be sent back to the house, and he cannot play with other brothers and sisters, but fortunately, the days are short.

After the New Year, it was time for Yanhua to get married.

Early in the morning, the eldest lady invited all the people to comb Yanhua's hair, and after the makeup was finished, the sound of firecrackers had already sounded at the door, and the Meng family came to marry her.

Yanhua was nervous in his heart, and suddenly couldn't sit still, but the second wife saw some clues and accompanied Yanhua to change clothes, Yanhua looked embarrassed, and the second wife persuaded again and again on the way, "Everyone is like this, it's not a big deal, when I married your second uncle, I also called the change of clothes a few times." ”

Yanhua blushed and whispered, "I'm not ready now, will I miss the time?" ”

The second wife smiled: "Where is it so fast, the groom official still has to go to worship his ancestors, bow to his parents, and eat waist food, for a while."

Yanhua was nervous, and he didn't know what was going on with the Meng family, and what would happen to her in the future, in case Meng Chunzhi couldn't go to high school, he didn't know what year he would have to look forward to.

Yanhua was uneasy in his heart, and Rong Hua listened to Jinxiu talk about the excitement ahead.

"Miss Six and Uncle ate the wedding cake, and now Miss Six has gotten on the sedan chair, and Miss Listening to the sound outside is the etiquette of marrying the bride."

Rong Hua listened to it and fell into a trance, thinking that it would be his turn in a few days, and he didn't know what would happen when the time came, thinking like this, he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

On the second day, Taofu sent someone to Meng's house to inquire, and Chen's mother smiled and said, "Mrs. is so happy." The Meng family is feasting guests, it seems that there is no problem, and the Meng Mansion will give gifts in a while. ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, "I'm waiting to return to the door tomorrow." "Marrying a daughter is to wait until the wedding night has passed for the husband's family to confirm that the bride's reputation is undamaged, and the husband's family can be regarded as acknowledging the daughter-in-law.

The next day, Yanhua and Meng Chunzhi returned to the door, first went to bow to their ancestors, then to their parents and relatives, the groom went to the front yard to speak, and Yanhua went to the flower hall to gather with the sisters.

After talking to several sisters, Yanhua went to Ronghua's courtyard to see Ronghua again.

Rong Hua saw Yanhua coming, and hurriedly let her in and sit down.

Yanhua was wearing a red makeup flower phoenix and a peony jacket, her face was ruddy and much more delicate than before she got married, and she sat next to Ronghua with a smile.

Rong Hua asked, "What about the sixth brother-in-law?" ”

Yanhua smiled: "I wanted to listen to a few words when I was talking to my father in front, but I didn't understand what I said, so I felt bored and came to see my sisters." ”

Xiangqiao interjected next to her, "Uncle was afraid that grandma would be bored listening to this, so she asked grandma to come over and talk to the young ladies." ”

Yanhua pursed his lips and laughed, and deliberately raised the corner of his eyes to look at Rong Hua.

Yanhua felt that Hou Ye was a cold person, not more considerate than the sixth brother-in-law, so he said such things.

Xiangqiao and Mu Hibiscus stepped aside to talk, and their mouths were all about the Meng family.

"My uncle's family is indeed a descendant of Mencius."

"It's not as good as the eunuch house outside, and there are few concubines in the clan, so people like this are very particular about this."

It means to show off.

Advantech asked Rong Hua kindly, "How are you preparing?" Do you want me to help? I'm idle right now, anyway. ”

Rong Hua said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do, but there are a few female reds, which are also killing time." ”

The daughter-in-law who returned to the door wanted to go back before dark, and Yanhua sat for a while before following Meng Chunzhi back to Meng's house.

After sending Yanhua away, Hibiscus went back and sneered: "Listen to what Miss Six said, dare to see our young lady's jokes." I don't blush when I praise my husband. ”

Jinxiu said: "Forget it, you don't know Miss Six's temper, and only she knows whether it's good or not." Saying that, he sat back beside Rong Hua, "But the Meng family really cares about Miss Six, and gave a lot of return gifts yesterday, and today Aunt Six and Miss Six entered the door early in the morning, no wonder Miss Six will be happy." ”

Mu Hibiscus pursed her lips, "Even if you are happy, you shouldn't talk like this in front of others, that is, our young lady is generous, if others don't say a few words to her." ”

Jinxiu pursed her lips and smiled.

At the end of March, the Xue family sent a dowry.

They were all packed in mahogany lacquered gift boxes, and they filled a room, more than when the Zhao family hired the eldest lady.

The eldest lady looked at these dowry gifts into the house, began to have a smile on her face, counted the twenty-four lifts, the eldest lady's face gradually embarrassed, the last time I heard the meaning of the second Mrs. Xue, the Xue family's big house has always been more frugal, she guessed that the Xue family's bride price will not be more, plus Yaohua has not yet married, she has not prepared too much for Rong Hua, now it seems that if she has prepared the dowry before, it will definitely make her lose face.

After all, it is the eldest grandson of the long house, and Mrs. Xue's mother's family has to rely on ...... She hadn't thought through this verse before.

The Xue family has raised the number of seven or seven, which is already the biggest gift.

Money is secondary, the important thing is etiquette, both parties to marry whether it is the man's dowry or the woman's dowry must have a balance, so that no one covets the other party's property, this is the practice of the big family, and the dowry sent by the man, most of the future will be hired by Brother Hong's wife, which also shows that several young ladies of the Tao family are hired seriously.

Therefore, the Xue family sent more, and the eldest lady prepared more for the dowry. What's more, there are a few things sent by the Xue family that are in the palace at first glance, and they must have been rewarded by Mrs. Xue's face.

In this way, there are not a few dowries to be added. The eldest lady couldn't help frowning, last night the old lady specially asked her to go over to discuss Rong Hua's dowry, and asked her to take the family account books, if she really wants to allocate money to Rong Hua, the old lady will find that some money has been embezzled by her.

Once this thing is revealed, how can it be done?

The Xue family gave a bride price and handed over a post.

The wedding date is set for the second day of June.

The old lady called the eldest lady to discuss Rong Hua's marriage, and the old lady really felt that it was not enough after reading the list, "How much cash is there in the house, or spend part of it to use it." ”

The eldest lady trembled in her heart, and stabilized her mind to discuss with the old lady, "Even if you take out the silver, you have to buy items, and now that the time is so urgent, I am afraid that I can't buy any good things, I have a few good things in my dowry, it is better to take them out and add a box to Rong Hua." ”

The old lady was naturally happy to hear this, and smiled kindly, "Of course that's good." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and the eldest lady got up to arrange other things.

When everyone in the house went down, the old lady put away the kind smile on her face and asked Rui Qing to call her sister-in-law over for questioning.

When Rui Qi's family entered the house, Rui Qing took a brocade and asked her to sit down.

The old lady talked to Rui Qijia for a while, and then she got to the point, "The deacons in the mansion have been changed in the past few years, are there any reliable ones in them?" ”

Rui Qijia said: "The people that the old lady used back then, in addition to being sent to Zhuangzi, a few of them were not relied on before, and now they are not used for a long time, and some of the eldest ladies mentioned the children of his family, which must be useless." ”

The old lady nodded.

Rui Qijia asked again: "What does the old lady think is wrong?" ”

The old lady shook her head, "It's nothing, just asking." ”

Rui Qi's family sat for a while and left.

Rui Qing came up with a cup of tea, "What does the old lady think?" ”

The old lady sighed, "The eldest daughter-in-law of this family is unwilling, why does she suddenly have to take out her dowry to add a box to Rong Hua?" I'm afraid there's a problem with the public high school's books. Now these people are all hers, and it is not easy to find out. ”

Rui Qing thought of Deacon Cui's family, "Otherwise, there will be a chance for the old lady to ask Deacon Cui's family." ”

The old lady pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, let's see." ”

In the past two days, I was tired of looking for a house, not to mention, the child was sick again, with a fever and cough, and I had to go down to buy medicine after the update.

It's really inconvenient to live in someone else's house, and the code word doesn't have a feeling of your own home.

What a syndrome.
