Chapter 566: Auspicious Celebration (II)
Chapter 566: Auspicious Celebration (II)
Either the accounts were settled, or Xu Siqin's wedding date was approaching, and the third lady stopped and began to prepare for her son's marriage wholeheartedly.
As soon as he entered July, he sent Gan Laoquan's family to Song's mother to take a breath: "...... I don't know if the account in the shop has been put into the secretary's room? "Prepare to ask for the three hundred taels of silver in the prince.
Mother Song asked the little maid to bring a bowl of chilled sherbet to Gan Laoquan's family, and said with a smile: "In the past two days, Master Hou is taking the fourth young master and the secretary to manage the account, I think at most in the middle of the year, this account should be put into storage." ”
The sherbet was fragrant. Gan Laoquan's family took it and sniffed it a few times, and then took a sip: "I haven't drunk such a good sherbet for many years, is it mint with licorice and honeysuckle?" ”
"The second lady sent it." Mother Song smiled and nodded, and thought that this sherbet was not sent to Mitsui Hutong, so she explained as if she had made up for it: "It was newly made by the second lady, and I took some from Mrs. Tai, some from us, and some from Mrs. Five." Say let you taste it, if you think it's delicious, make more. Madame also rewarded us with some gifts. It's not worth using all the time, you're rare, so you took it out. ”
If they divide the house, they will naturally not be as affectionate as before.
Gan Laoquan's family said with some envy: "It's better to be an errand in the house!" The ladies have leaked more from their fingers than from the outside. ”
Song's mother smiled silently.
Gan Laoquan's Tu Song's mother lives from the south to the north, and it is cool, and she doesn't want to go back so soon, so she asks Xu Sizhen: "What?" Now that the Hou Ye has begun to teach the prince to do the housework? ”
"The fourth young master is still young, and the Hou master is just with insight!" Song's mother smiled, "What matters now is reading." ”
As he was talking, a little maid ran in: "Mom, Madame called you to go!" ”
Mother Song hurriedly stood up: "Sister-in-law of the Gan family will sit down, and I will come when I go." ”
Gan Laoquan's family was busy: "You go straight!" ”
Mother Song told the little maid again, "Be good at hospitality, don't slack off", and then went to Eleven Niang with the little maid.
Eleven Niang sat on the kang near the window, wearing a lake-colored Hangzhou silk shirt, the sleeves were folded in two, revealing the frosty and snow-like wrists and the jade bracelet on the hand bowl, and took a palace fan with a big red handle embroidered with peony flowers, and was helping Brother Jin to fan who was taking a nap.
"It's Obon coming soon," she told Song's mother, "you help me go to Ciyuan Temple." ”
At this time of year, the Xu family will donate sesame oil money and ask the host of Ciyuan Temple to help with the practice.
Mother Song smiled and responded "yes", took the pair of cards and walked out of the inner courtyard, and went to the division room to get the sesame oil money.
I saw Xu Sichen with the little maid Wang Shu, and his steps were hurried, and he went to the inner courtyard.
Mother Song stood against the wall, lowered her hands and shouted "Fourth Young Master".
Xu Sichen was overjoyed to see her, and hurriedly said, "Mother is in the house?" ”
"In!" Mother Song was a little surprised by his actions, but she still said respectfully, "Madam is coaxing the sixth young master to take a nap!" ”
Xu Sizhen nodded and ran towards the main house with a puff of smoke.
"Mother!" He thought that he was going to the clean room under the pretext that he was going to the clean room, so he ran out, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and when he saw Eleven Niang, he went straight to the point and said, "Is our family still putting river lanterns this year?" I made a very beautiful lotus lantern, and my mother told my father that when the time comes, we will go to Biyi Lake to release river lanterns! ”
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Eleven Niang asked the little maid to twist a handkerchief soaked in well water to wipe his face, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this!" When the time comes, let's go put the river lanterns! ”
Xu Sichen grabbed the handkerchief in the little girl's hand, wiped it twice by himself, and said, "Mother, my father said that on the day of the Midyear Festival, he will take me to Baiyun Temple to participate in the Jiao Festival!" ”
"Don't you want to go?" Eleven Niang smiled, "I heard your father say that Wang Yun, the son of the king's family, will also go that day." Aren't you very nice with him? Then you can be together! ”
Xu Sichen was a little frustrated when he heard this: "But I want to release the river lantern with the fifth brother!" ”
I want to show off the river lantern he made!
Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Then let's wait for you to come back and then release the river lantern!" ”
Xu Sizhen became happy when he heard this, and went back to the division room happily.
Mother Song had already received the silver and came back, and whispered to Eleven Niang: "...... Let me give you a word. When the Hou Ye and several shopkeepers were in charge, the fourth young master yawned on the side. The shopkeeper of Tao, who was in charge of the leather business in Baoding, was very arrogant, and asked the maid who was in charge of tea and snacks in the house to serve the fourth young master to go back to the house to sleep. Hou Ye only said that the fourth young master was young and ignorant. His face was pale. ”
Eleven Niang was also a little weak when she heard it.
She didn't understand Xu Sizhen very well, and felt that he didn't seem to be very attentive to anything.
"I see!" Eleven Niang sent Song's mother, and Huang San's grandmother came.
She drank the cold mung bean soup and breathed a comfortable breath: "Okay, this marriage has finally settled - the third lady invited Zhong Qinbo to be the matchmaker, and the other party invited the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division to be the matchmaker." I just waited for the day of my marriage to come with me and bring them back. ”
"It's hard work, sister!" The matter has been settled, and Eleven Niang is also relieved.
When the dowry of the Jin family was sent to Mitsui Hutong on August 19, everyone was a little surprised.
Although the dowry was only sixty-four lifts, it was very neatly arranged, and the cage containing the clothes could not be inserted into either hand.
The third lady only felt that her face was very bright, and her face rose slightly when she talked to people: "...... As the Jin family said, there is still a sister-in-law in front of him, so he has to take care of his sister-in-law's face, so he stuffed all the 124 dowries originally prepared into 64 lifts. Speaking of which, this in-law of mine is really a real person. ”
Everyone stepped forward to congratulate the third lady.
There was a faint glow on the faces of the third lady.
Fang's nurse was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Madame is too disgraceful to the young grandmother." Use the people of the Jin family to chill us. No matter how much she has to dowry, is there more of our grandmother's dowry? ”
Fang Shi waved his hand at her lightly: "There will be more such things in the future." You've all memorized it for me. Later, when I met the third young grandmother, I must be polite and thoughtful, just like me. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
The nurse knew that Fang's words would be done, her expression was solemn, and she respectfully responded "yes".
The fifth lady yawned and asked Eleven Niang, "Are you spending the night here today?" I want to go back early – I'm going to be a Blessed Man tomorrow! ”
The people here are troubled and trivial, so she didn't bring Brother Jin over.
"Mother Song, they help watch, and the people who are in charge of the matter are all capable people." Eleven Niang smiled and asked Zhu Xiang to put away the pair, "I'm thinking about Brother Jin, I'm going to go back and see!" ”
"Then let's go together!" The fifth lady yawned again, "Mrs. Lin, they will only come tomorrow, and they don't have to entertain guests." There's nothing to do to stay! ”
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and went to resign from the third lady with the fifth lady.
The third lady was wiping cards with the relatives of the Gan family, and at the same time talking about the dowry of the Jin family: "...... There are two 300-acre granges in Daxing, plus the shops on East Street, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing in this life! Hearing that the two were going back to the lotus, the third lady asked Xingjiao to help wipe the cards and sent the two to the door: "Although I am small here, I have lived in the house for more than 20 years, and the house is clean and tidy." You brought Brother Jin and Brother Xu'er with you. It was as if the two of them had not brought the child with them.
"Bring it early tomorrow morning." The fifth lady responded with a smile and got into the carriage with Eleven Niang.
"Fortunately, the third sister-in-law and they moved out, otherwise, our house would be lively." She pursed her lips, "Did you pay attention when you set up the wedding hall in the morning?" The third sister-in-law said that she wanted to sprinkle gold paper with red, but the young grandmother said that the big red gold paper, for this little thing, the third master actually came forward to mediate, although the third sister-in-law sprinkled gold paper with red, but when it came to the time to worship fresh fruits, she used a blue and white porcelain high-ranking dish according to the young grandmother...... "Speaking of this, she covered her sleeves and smiled, "I see, the third master is reasonable to listen to the left and the right, and the right is reasonable." Not accurate. However, the third sister-in-law and the third master are married after all, but our eldest and youngest grandmothers can speak in front of their father-in-law. ”
Eleven Niang was worried that if the third master and the third lady were at home, the third lady would press the Fang family with her mother-in-law's money, and the Fang family's life would not be easy. Now it seems that Fang is also a very smart and clever person.
"That's also because the two of them have their own reasons." She smiled, "I think our grandmother is good, she is an understanding person!" ”
The fifth lady thought of Brother Xu'er's first birthday gift Fang Shi gave this ancient treasure according to his words, and laughed: "Well, I think so too!" ”
The two said, looking at each other and smiling.
* * * * * *
crossed the money and grain basin, worshiped heaven and earth, sat in the tent, and confessed his relatives the next day.
may have learned the lesson of the last time, this time the third lady dressed very plainly. There was less phoenix hairpin in the meeting for the Kim family, and there was an extra red gold collar. And Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady rewarded the Jin family according to the last meeting with Fang. The three grandmothers in Nanjing did not come, and only the housekeeper and the competent housekeeper mother brought gift money and meeting courtesy. Several relatives of the Gan family left the newlywed last night under the pretext that they had something to do. Compared with the scene when Xu Siqin got married, it is inevitably a little inferior.
The new Kim didn't know any of this. I only feel that the Xu family is really as rich as my mother said, and the meeting gifts of the two aunts are very valuable, which shows that I am very satisfied with her.
After paying attention to the shoes and socks, the Jin family didn't even eat lunch, and was accompanied by the fifth lady, and the third lady led him to the lotus flower to kowtow to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai looked at Jin, who was still full of childishness and had a pair of clear eyes, and was very satisfied, and pulled her to talk for a long time. When he returned to Mitsui Alley, Kim's face was still full of excitement.
The third lady looked at the little daughter-in-law and a group of children, and she was also very satisfied.
Children are easy to coax, and when the time comes, she will say whatever she wants.
When Xu Sijian returned with the Jin family, the Jin family began to settle down in the morning and dusk and became the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. And the lotus side was a little nervously waiting for the result of Shao Zhongran's martial arts.
