Chapter 199: Ten miles of red makeup
One day in June, the Tanhua Station in Nancheng was completely closed, and passengers were not accepted regardless of their status, why? Because the Qiao family has a daughter who is going to get married!
Although Hua Banxia and his party only sent the dowry to the capital this time, and the official marriage had to go to the capital to talk about it, but this time the action was not small, and the dowry alone had to use up most of the carriages at Tanhua Station.
Knowing that the Qiao family was going to transport the dowry to Beijing, Yun Ye and Yun Zheng both sent secret guards to escort them, Cheng Ming naturally did not dare to slack off, and asked Cheng Ze to escort them with people from the government, and with people from the government accompanying him on the way, those with ulterior motives should also weigh it.
Seeing the people coming and going in the courtyard of Tanhua Station, everyone was so busy that they couldn't stop, whether it was Cheng Ze who brought help, or the employees in the station, everyone listened to Qiao Zheng's instructions and loaded the things one by one.
In the past, Hua Banxia didn't know that their Qiao family had so many things, but now that amount is very considerable. It stands to reason that most of the industries in Huabanxia are knowledge-based and real estate, and there are so many things that can be seen when you pack them up.
Just the villagers and the shop owners who have cooperated with the water textile street have added nearly 20 cars, they are not merciless, and the gifts are given one car by one.
And Chengfu, Tingshuzhai and Huamanlou not to mention, Chengfu's jade porcelain and other ornamental gadgets, Tingshu's antique calligraphy and paintings and some rare books, Huamanlou The rouge jewelry sent by the girls in Huamanlou were all sent to Tanhua Station as if they didn't want money, and there were more than a dozen cars.
Hua Banxia never dreamed that she would have such a day, just these things, she couldn't spend them in her life!
What's more, in order to show that the amount of dowry is large, Qiao Da replaced all the silver tickets at home with silver ingots, box after box, fortunately, not many people know about this, otherwise it is estimated that there will be turmoil in Tanhua Station.
"Uncle, Dad, are you planning to move to the capital? Do you want to bring this thing? Hua Banxia looked at the car in front of her and only admired their trenches, but when she saw the things in the car behind the convoy, she collapsed.
The basket of live ducks was piled up in the car, and the ducks' cries were about to go up to the sky. "Dad, it's a long way for us to go to the capital, and these ducks will be hungry and thin if they don't die there!"
But Qiao San didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and his swarthy face was full of proud smiles, "It's okay, girl, we brought grain and grass to feed these ducks, no, we have to eat some halfway."
The family has gone to Beijing together, although the ducks in the pond can be taken care of by the villagers, but this stubble of ducks is already big, and there is no time to roast and sell, and they can also satisfy their hunger with half the road. No, didn't Qiao Er and Qiao Zheng also move the stove into the car.
Hua Banxia has really never seen such a kiss, it may be normal for them, but as a modern person, the marriage is either an RV or a ticket, how have I ever seen such a strange dowry.
"Oh, you don't care about Banxia, if it weren't for the lotus flowers in the pond that just bloomed, your aunt would have to prepare a few carts of lotus root for you", Qiao Da has been used to being the master with a few adults in the family these days, and he can ignore Hua Banxia's opinions openly and be the master himself.
Well, it took two days just to prepare for loading in the Tanhua station, whether it was gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, rouge gouache, gold silk cloth, furniture quilt or live poultry, after all the loading was completed, everyone was happy, and set off in the loud discussion of the people in Nancheng.
"Hey, have you ever seen such an exaggerated dowry?" Hua Banxia sat in the carriage at the front of the convoy, poked his head out of the window and asked Cheng Ze on the horse, and glanced at the convoy behind him, which felt like ten miles of red makeup and thousands of miles of dust.
Hearing this, Cheng Ze looked at her with interest and said, "What, are you showing off your beauty to be married?" ”
"You think I'm happy to have lost so many things at once?" Hua Banxia looked at Cheng Ze depressedly and said, with so many things, I don't know how much I hate to marry, as if I can't marry more.
And in her concept, marriage is simply a matter of pulling a certificate, where there are so many messy things, and there are too many dowries, but it seems that the relationship between them is not so pure.
"The dowry is not too much, and the aunt is also for your good, but it is the first time I have seen such a big battle", Cheng Ze told the truth, looking at this battle, he also opened his eyes.
Well, she can only do as the locals do! Hua Banxia no longer worries about the dowry, I just hope that this way can go smoothly into Beijing, and nothing will happen.
However, I don't know if the convoy to send off relatives was escorted by the government, or if Yunye secretly protected it, all the way was safe and sound, and I arrived in the capital very smoothly.
This large long queue stopped and stopped, and it took nearly two months to reach the capital. The capital was very hot in August, but it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the Qiao family.
They didn't seem to have gone far away, but they did go out for the first time, and when they passed through the town along the way, Chen Jiahua called Ueda Fuzhen and Gong Yiyun, and took Hua Qingqing and Qiao Yiyi to buy and buy on the street, and they would buy whatever they saw locally beautiful and characteristic things, saying that they would add a few more dowries to Hua Banxia.
The men of the Qiao family did not object, and they were still carrying things in the back with great joy, while the others stopped to rest, without their physical strength.
Looking at them like this, the local people thought that they were rich and noble families, but who could have guessed that they were just ordinary villagers, but they had a little money at home.
Along the way, Hua Banxia thought that so many people would be able to eat those carts of live poultry, and they could reduce the dowry.
Looking at Chen Jiahua's arrogant little expression, Hua Banxia could only show an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Which comptoir's convoy is this?" As soon as Hua Banxia and their convoy entered Beijing, it was particularly eye-catching, not only because their convoy was led by the government, but also because it was so powerful that anyone couldn't help but take a look.
"This is not a car from Tanhua Station, what kind of business house is it", the crowd on the street began to discuss, and everyone recognized the car at Tanhua Station.
"You don't know this, many businesses are convenient, and they all use the cars of Tanhua Station to transport goods, maybe which business house is it, let's not look at it."
In the capital, there are more cars coming and going, but this time there are more cars in the concentration, so everyone is curious.
But I don't know whose eyes are so sharp, and suddenly I can see that this is not a business car, more like a team to send relatives, although there is no red cloth on the car, but this is by no means used by a business house to transport goods.
Thinking of a marriage decree two months ago that caused a sensation in the whole capital, almost making those daughters in the capital cry until they fainted, and they were sad and sad for a while, calculate the time, the day when the night prince married the legendary Ping'an Junjun is approaching.
And the mansion of Ping'an Junjun in the capital is still deserted as usual, and there is no atmosphere of marriage at all. But the emperor's order cannot be violated, I heard that the county monarch returned to Nancheng after the ceremony, and now it is time to go to Beijing, is it ......
"Yikes! This can't be a send-off party from Nancheng, right? An old man patted his thigh, and he was a little suspicious of what came out of his mouth, but his eyes were very determined.
When the people around heard this, they all thought of what was about to happen in the capital, "But isn't it, look at this car, where is it going to the market!" ”
The more everyone talked, the more mysterious it became, although what they said was the truth, but it sounded like a ghost, and there were still people in the crowd who ran back to report the news when they heard the news, which was very weird.
"Yo, this capital is lively", Tian Fuzhen looked at the enthusiastic reaction of the people eating melons outside the window and said happily.
"Huh!" Hua Banxia could only smile perfunctorily, if she heard what the person outside the car said, she probably wouldn't be so happy.
The county monarch's mansion spent half a summer looking for two people to help clean the house, and when he arrived at the door, Li Bo in the mansion was already standing at the door waiting.
"Uncle Li", seeing Uncle Li's kind smile, standing at the door waiting for him, Hua Banxia happily got out of the car to greet him, "Aunt Li, why didn't you see her?" ”
Aunt Li Bo Li is a middle-aged couple, one son is sick in bed, in order to treat his son to spend all their money, half a year ago spent half a summer to see them desperate kneeling on the side of the road, so they took them into the house, and left a sum of money for them to treat their son, as they paid her to see the family.
"Here, the old woman is boiling water and making tea in the backyard", Li Bo smiled, and was very happy to see Hua Banxia come back.
"Banxia", Chen Jiahua and others also got out of the car, and Hua Banxia hurriedly introduced them.
"It turned out to be the eldest master, the second master, the third master, and the eldest lady, the second ......" Li Bo was about to give them a salute when Hua Banxia interrupted, "Li Bo is not polite, we are all a family, don't be interested in those vanity!" ”
Qiao Da and the others also said the same thing, this Li Bo looked as old as them, and he called them masters just now, which frightened them.
"That's it, we will all be a family in the future, so we don't need to be so polite!" Qiao Da patted Li Bo's shoulder, looking like he was a brother, which made Li Bo also feel relieved and more accommodating.
Let the coachman pull all the things to the backyard, find a few vacant rooms, pack up all the dowries he brought, spend Banxia to give them the hard money along the way, give them a few days off to have a good time, and let them go to the Tanhua Station in the capital to rest.
"Wow, this is where the official family lives", Gong Yiyun and the others had the opportunity to take a look at this county monarch's mansion after finishing their work, they didn't know if they didn't see it, and they were shocked when they saw it.
Listening to their voices of amazement and envy, you can know that this mansion is really ingenious, with pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, scattered and scattered, just like a small city, how can everyone be crowded together like the countryside.
"If my sister-in-law likes it, don't go back for ten or eight years, it doesn't matter if everyone lives, otherwise it's not interesting for me to stay in the capital alone", Hua Banxia sincerely hopes that they can live for a long time and enjoy the prosperity of the capital.
