Chapter 30: Marriage I
Just when Shen Yuechen fell asleep with her heart, the Yao family in the long room was crying all the time, Shen Zhiyun was disturbed by her, and then went to her aunt Qiao's place to rest. The old lady didn't have a problem with her, and just let her go on alone. When it was almost the second watch, Yao finally stopped crying, washed her face and lay down to rest, and the maids who had been following her were finally relieved.
The next day, Shen Zhiyun went to the yamen early to do errands, and the old lady came to Yao's and had a long talk with her, asking her to come out with the generosity that a housewife should have, and not to be temperant and troublesome at every turn. also asked her to read more Buddhist scriptures when she was fine, and learn the truth of being a person calmly.
Yao agreed on the surface, nodded slightly and said yes, but secretly disdainful of the old lady.
Later, the old lady went to see Shen Yuechen again, and saw that she was still lying on the bed and didn't like to move, so she asked Mama Li to push the tailor who came to the door, so as not to be known by outsiders.
The old lady is not a short-sighted person, and secretly sends people around to find reliable ways to warm up the woman's body, and even the bad folk remedies are very carefully watched.
After the small days passed, Shen Yuechen quickly recovered his spirits. When her body was well, the old lady sent Mama Li to teach her the etiquette rules, from the standing posture, sitting posture, to the posture of greeting and serving food and tea, everything was complete, and nothing was missed.
Although Shen Yuechen usually does very well, she still has to learn from scratch.
The Zhu family is a famous family, and they should pay attention to rules and etiquette, and the old lady is doing this for her own good.
Shen Yuechen studied his duty, and when he was about to learn, the wedding date was approaching.
Because they were going to get married in the old house in Texas, the old lady took Shen Yuechen back to prepare first, while Shen Zhiyun and Yao postponed it a few days until everything was taken care of before they set off.
Because she is a girl who is about to get married, Shen Yuechen is treated preferentially everywhere in the Shen family, and everyone around her looks beaming, always with a happy smile, as if she is going to marry.
As the big day approached, Shen Yuechen quieted down, practicing words and practicing words in a down-to-earth manner, grinding time day by day, beside her, except for the wedding dress embroidered by the red hand, all the other dowries had been sent to the Zhu family, and she didn't need to bother anymore.
The dowry of five thousand taels is really not a small amount for the Shen family. It's just that in the eyes of the Zhu family, these may not be very valuable. Back then, when the Qin family married into the Zhu family, with a dowry of tens of thousands of taels of silver, the scenery was infinite, and no one could match.
Seeing that the things in his room were being cleaned up little by little, and the stacks of books in the cabinet were also packed and sealed, Shen Yuechen's heart couldn't help but become heavy.
It's only been a few months, and her situation has changed dramatically, and in a few days, she will no longer be a member of the Shen family, and she will become a decent young grandmother in the Zhu family's mansion.
Shen Yuechen stretched out her hand to caress the delicate gold thread embroidery on the red wedding dress, her heart trembled slightly, and she kept asking herself repeatedly: "Are you married like this?" Just accepted your fate and accepted it? ”
In fact, she never imagined what kind of person she could marry in the future. After so many years of lonely and hard life, she gradually has a heart to see through the world, and her thoughts about people and things are much lighter. If it weren't for self-preservation, he wouldn't have been obedient to the old lady in every way. Now, she has all the preferential treatment, although there is a bit of bitterness, but she has already felt a deep sense of crisis.
Shen Yuechen thinks that she is not a peaceful woman who is willing to spend the rest of her life by relying on others, if time permits, she still wants to leave, get out of this tedious and tangled worldly relationship, find a small place where no one knows herself, do not fight or fight, coarse tea and light meals, three meals and clothing, and live a free and stable life that only belongs to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuechen immediately pursed her lips and smiled slightly, such an ordinary and humble wish is now a luxury for her. However, even if it is a luxury, she has to be prepared.
Shen Yuechen still has some silver in his hand, and the total sum of the bits and pieces is enough to buy a few pieces of fertile land in the countryside. However, as a deep house girl, it is not easy to hide from everyone's eyes, do some business, and save some private money, she needs a reliable person to run errands outside instead of herself, and at the moment, there is no one by her side except for Wu's mother who can make her trust.
Thinking about it, Chun Ming came into the house to change tea, and when she saw Shen Yuechen looking at the wedding dress, she smiled slightly and said, "Miss, do you want to practice calligraphy today?" ”
Shen Yuechen came back to her senses, took a closer look at the spring tea, and suddenly found that from a closer look, she was also a rather beautiful woman, with good facial features, clear eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that were extremely bright. Looking at it, her heart slowly began to think.
