Sigh on a moonlit night, Hu does not return Chapter 222 Decree to set the marriage date and prepare for marriage
Zhenguo Mansion.
Ye Yaoqin has never stopped being excited every day since she knew that she was going to marry Li Jia, and when her mother-in-law came to report that Grandpa Guo asked her to go to the front yard quickly, she thought that someone from the Li Mansion had come to give a dowry.
She carefully groomed it, and when she came to the front yard, the first thing she saw was the palace attendant.
The incense case was set up in the front yard, and Zhen Guogong wore an official uniform, and took Ye Dongzhou to talk to Ye Guangling with the chamberlain Liu Gonggong.
After a while, Ye Xue and the second lady Fang also rushed over, and the last one to arrive was Ye Zhiwei.
Seeing Ye Zhiwei coming over, Gonggong Liu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Congratulations to my grandfather." ”
Ye Zhiwei hurriedly saluted and said respectfully, "It's hard work for Father-in-law Liu." As he spoke, he took the red envelope from Xiaolian's hand and stuffed it into Gonggong Liu's hand.
Gonggong Liu pinched the red seal with his hand, and it was fluttering, and his face immediately smiled.
He is accustomed to receiving this kind of thing, and he only needs to touch it with his hand to know what it contains, this red envelope looks ordinary, but it contains a silver ticket.
"Grandpa Grandpa's good things are approaching, and our family is still looking forward to a cup of wine to drink." Gonggong Liu smiled and put the red seal into his sleeve.
Ye Zhiwei will never show off her power in front of these chamberlains, because she knows that she would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, don't look at these chamberlains as just servants of the emperor, and their role can be great at a critical time.
After a few more polite words to each other, Gonggong Liu shook his sleeves and picked up the holy decree in a similar manner.
The crowd immediately knelt down.
I only heard the shrill voice of Gonggong Liu: "...... Ye Huai'an's daughter, Ye Zhiwei, soft temperament, cautious, conscientious, respectful, respectful and respectful, respectful and respectful, generous and peaceful, Jiaoting's etiquette teaches Weixian...... Specially given to marry the prince of the south of the wind and cold, ten days later, the marriage was completed, admiration. ”
Ye Zhiwei hung her head, patiently listening to this long list of beautiful words, if it weren't for the previous mention of her name, she couldn't believe that these compliments were actually her.
Ye Yaoqin raised her head in disbelief and secretly looked at Ye Zhiwei.
Married in 10 days...... The day of her wedding to Li Jia also happened to be on that day.
Gonggong Liu handed over the holy decree to Ye Zhiwei, and Zhenguo Gong personally sent a bag of silver, saying that he was hard.
Gonggong Liu accepted the money and went back to the palace satisfied.
Ye Yaoqin's face was ugly.
She is the eldest daughter in this mansion, so she is naturally the first to marry, but now the emperor suddenly decreed that Ye Zhiwei would also get married on that day, isn't this deliberately embarrassing her?
Zhenguo Gong carefully offered the holy decree on the incense case, and only after worshipping did he call Ye Dongzhou and said, "Send someone to the Li Mansion, and say that Yaoqin's marriage will be postponed." ”
Ye Yaoqin's heart suddenly sank.
She looked at her father blankly, hoping that he could at least say a few good words for herself, but Ye Dongzhou just nodded indifferently, and went down to find someone to inform the Li Mansion.
The second lady said on the side: "Ten days is tighter, it is better to bring out all the dowry of the third lady now, so that you can count it." ”
Zhen Guogong thought about it and nodded.
The second lady turned around happily and prepared to let people carry the dowry.
There are so many things, even if she carries a few pieces, no one can see it.
Who knew that Ye Zhiwei suddenly said: "Grandfather, it just so happens that I have the dowry list left by my mother here, and I don't know anything, so it is better for you to assign someone to help the second aunt, so as not to happen like the eldest aunt at the beginning, and everyone will be unhappy." ”
Zhen Guogong thought about it and felt that what she said was reasonable, so he called the financial steward.
The golden steward usually waits in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the second lady can't talk to him at all, looking at him with a wooden face and a thick stack of dowry lists in his hand, don't mention the second lady's regret.
She took the initiative to take this job, just to be able to get some oil and water in it, but she didn't expect a dead-eyed gold steward to come, as long as it was on the list, he had to check it all.
Dozens of boxes of things were carried into the courtyard and filled the yard.
Zhen Guogong couldn't help frowning when he saw it, when the Min family married Ye Huai'an, her dowry was more than that.
He instructed the Jin steward: "Check it carefully, Nanwangfu is not an ordinary family, no matter what is missing, make up for her first, don't let Nanwangfu underestimate us." ”
The financial steward responded and checked more carefully.
The second lady took a few maids and counted in the courtyard until dark, and then cleared all the lists.
When the gold steward reported the items that were missing on the list, Zhen Guogong was surprised.
There is so much jewelry missing! It's not a small amount that can be made up.
Ye Zhiwei knew but was not in a hurry, "It's just some jewelry, don't worry, now the top priority is to make the embroidery first." ”
The second lady heard it and hurriedly said: "Isn't it, time is tight, and the embroidery is too late to buy the finished product, and it just so happens that Yaoqin's wedding dress has not been made yet, and I will invite the embroidery lady to our house and give you a piece to measure." ”
Ye Yaoqin listened to it and said with a slight meaning: "My mother has already prepared a wedding dress for me, and even the quilt and handkerchief of the four seasons have been embroidered. ”
Poor families prepare dowries, usually embroider for a few years, there are rich families can go to the embroidery girl, and then the bride herself picks two stitches on it is also a formality.
Li helped Ye Yaoqin to make these things early, compared to her, Ye Zhiwei looks much more pitiful, since Min's death she was sent to the south by her father, no one would think of preparing a wedding dress and embroidery for her in advance, Ye Zhiwei herself is not good at embroidery, plus she is not in time yet, even Zhen Guogong did not think to help her prepare these things in advance.
"I'm afraid it's too late, so let's do as much as I can." The second lady said helplessly.
Ye Yaoqin finally found some balance in her heart, and with only ten days of hard work, she didn't believe that the embroidery workshop could embroider a wedding dress.
It's all because of Ye Zhiwei, so her wedding date will be postponed, you know, her marriage was not easy for her grandfather to accept, as long as she thought of Li Jia's personable appearance, it was like a little insect crawling through her heart, making her tickle.
She was determined to see Ye Zhiwei's jokes, and when someone from the embroidery workshop came to the house the next day, she hurriedly followed.
The second lady has been busy these days, first preparing a dowry for Ye Yaoqin, and now she has to help Ye Zhiwei prepare, Ye Xue is not even happy with the boss, so she is also clamoring for a few sets of embroidery, so the second lady brought her daughter over.
The embroidery workshop came from a forty-year-old embroidery girl, with the shrewdness of a businessman on her face, and when she saw Ye Zhiwei coming in, she gave a salute: "Yo, this girl is a rich and noble person at a glance." ”
Ye Zhiwei stepped forward to return the salute, with a modest and polite attitude.
Ye Yaoqin and Ye Xuelian looked down on businessmen, and just sat on the side and chose their appearances.
Ye Zhiwei hasn't chosen a good appearance here, and Ye Yaoqin has already fallen in love with a set of golden and jade curtains, and an embroidered screen with mandarin ducks playing in the water. In fact, it will take several months to embroider the embroidery screen alone, but the samples brought by the embroidery workshop will generally be in stock, but whoever chooses it first will get it first.
Every time, Ye Yaoqin would preemptively select the embroidery that Ye Zhiwei needed, even if she had already prepared the embroidery, she would also ask the embroidery girl to write it down.
Gradually, Ye Zhiwei sensed Ye Yaoqin's ghost thoughts, and she took up most of the embroidery in stock, so that even if the share she ordered was embroidered, it would be absolutely too late if it was only ten days.
