Chapter 340: Making the Bed (Part II)
At dawn the next day, Wang and his third aunt Wu came to Fanning's mansion with dozens of maids and daughters-in-law, and dozens of ox carts were piled up with various belongings.
The third aunt Wu is Zhu Yuanfeng's second wife, about the same age as Wang, and is also from Pingjiang Mansion, after Zhu Yuanfeng's wife died ten years ago, Wu is actually the main mother, she is very shrewd and capable, and takes care of Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion in good order.
On the one hand, the personal relationship between the Wang family and the Wu family is very good, the Wang family followed her husband to Qingzhou to take up a post, and the eldest son Zhu Zhe entrusted the care of the Wu family, on the other hand, the Wu family is very experienced in making beds, which can give the Wang family a lot of help.
The person who received them was naturally Fan Ning's mother Zhang Sanniang, and her son was about to get married the day after tomorrow, and arranging the wedding room was of course the most important thing now.
Seeing her mother-in-law, the relationship between the two quickly became harmonious, although Zhang Sanniang was born as a peasant woman, not as beautiful as the ladies from the Wang family, and has been an official wife for a long time, but Zhang Sanniang has the support of her son, and she is not stage frightened at all when dealing with the Wang family, and she takes everyone to the inner house with a smile.
Of course, the Wang family also deliberately lowered her figure, this mother-in-law, who will be her daughter in the future, can't offend her, otherwise her daughter will be guilty in the future.
"Pell has been sensible since she was a child, and the first time I met her, she was only seven or eight years old! Knowledgeable, smart and beautiful, I thought she was like a little fairy at that time, then I recognized her, at the beginning of last year, when the Cao family came to Pingjiang Mansion to talk to me about marriage, I refused, no one can compare to Pei'er in my heart! ”
Zhang Sanniang is very straightforward, she does not hide her love for Zhu Pei in her heart, and she can feel that her mother is not polite, but loves her daughter from the bottom of her heart, which moves her even more.
"Pei'er's father and I also supported the old man's idea because she and A-Ning grew up as childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship, so we supported the old man's idea and promised Pei'er to A-Ning, mother-in-law, don't you know, Pei'er originally had a marriage contract with the Liu family, and it was Pei'er's grandfather who dissolved the marriage contract."
Zhang Sanniang praised: "I have also heard about this incident, the old man is still bold and decisive, to be honest, the son of the Liu family is not worthy of Apei." ”
In Zhang Sanniang's opinion, only her son and Zhu Pei are a match made in heaven, except for her son, no one else is worthy of Zhu Pei.
"Thank you for the praise of my mother-in-law, Apei actually still has a lot of shortcomings, especially when she was spoiled by her grandfather since she was a child, and her temper is not very good, so I will ask my mother-in-law to be more tolerant in the future."
"Don't worry, we all came from a daughter-in-law, we understand the pain of being a daughter-in-law, and I will never impose it on Pei'er if I don't like it."
Zhang Sanniang was telling the truth, when they were kicked out of the house by their father-in-law and were poor for two whole years, she vowed at that time that she would never let her children taste this kind of taste again.
........
Everyone entered the inner house and began to busily arrange, bundles of silk and satin, Luo silk tents, precious and luxurious utensils, building a green house, laying a wedding table, a golden candlestick, a white jade plate, a gold silk and silver lantern, and even the word "Xi" for marriage is also made of gold leaf.
The Zhu family spent a lot of money on the decoration of the wedding room, sparing no expense, which fully demonstrated the Zhu family's incomparable financial resources.
Near noon, Wang found Zhang Sanniang again, Wang and Wu are the first time to Fanning Mansion, the structure and layout of Fanning Mansion is very different from what they imagined, so that they found a lot of problems in the process of arrangement, Wang had to come to Zhang Sanniang to discuss, if not properly solved, the marriage ceremony will encounter trouble.
"Mother-in-law, there is something very important I want to discuss with you."
Zhang Sanniang saw that her mother-in-law looked serious, and she was a little worried in her heart, they had no experience in arranging large-scale weddings, and they must have been inconsiderate in many places.
Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said, "Let's go to the lobby and say." ”
"No, it's about the details of the guests' reception, or it's more convenient to say it here."
Wang pointed to a clearing next to him, "Where are you going to arrange the banquet?" ”
Zhang Sanniang nodded, "There is about a capacity of more than a hundred people over there, we contacted the nearby Qingfeng Restaurant, and they will provide food and drink at that time." ”
Wang shook his head, "The problem is here, there are nearly two hundred relatives, friends and colleagues of the Zhu family alone, and I am worried that I will not be able to sit here." ”
Zhang Sanniang was taken aback, they sent out more than 20 invitations, they thought that the Zhu family was twice as large, but they didn't expect that more than 200 people came, how could so many people come?
"What can I do?"
In fact, this problem was not seen by me, but discovered by my third aunt, who is more experienced, she found this problem, and I also asked her how to solve it.
"She said there are two solutions, one is that the woods are flattened, so that the place is bigger."
Zhang Sanniang shook her head again and again, "This is definitely not good, before marriage, we all plant trees and flowers in order to prosper our children and grandchildren, how can there be a reason to cut down trees and remove flowers, it is too unlucky, this plan cannot be adopted." ”
Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I also think this plan is inappropriate, so I have to change the place to hold the banquet." ”
"That's a good idea!"
Zhang Sanniang agreed: "To the east of Feihongqiao is Qingfeng Restaurant, which is less than fifty steps away from here. ”
The wedding banquet generally starts at noon, everyone eats until dusk, and the wedding team also sets off in the afternoon, the wedding is the meaning of the dusk ceremony, and the chapel or something is carried out after dark.
So after the banquet is over, it's the wedding, and then the guests go home with their own food and drink.
Wang originally wanted to propose to go to Zhu Lou, the nearest Zhu Lou is about a mile away from here, but Zhang Sanniang reminded her in a word, the invitation has already been sent out, if you change the place, you have to go to the house to notify, it is too troublesome, Qingfeng Restaurant is also one of the top ten restaurants in Beijing, not bad.
"I wonder if Qingfeng Restaurant can accommodate so many guests?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said: "We have been eating there for the past two days, and I specially asked the shopkeeper, they can accommodate 100 people on three floors, and there are several courtyards in the back, which can also accommodate more than 100 people. ”
"Alright! I will leave this matter to my mother-in-law. ”
After a pause, Wang said again: "There is another question, which is also seen by my third aunt, but it is a bit rude to say it, of course, I just made a suggestion, don't blame my mother!" ”
Of course, Zhang Sanniang knew that there must be a problem, and the other party brought it up, all for her son's wedding, where would she have an opinion?
Zhang Sanniang hurriedly said: "I have no experience in this area, there must be something inconsiderate, you can bring it up now, so as not to be embarrassed by the time." ”
"Then I'll be blunt!"
"Just say!"
Wang looked at the inner house and said: "My third aunt and I are here for the first time, A-Ning's mansion is different from what we imagined, it covers a lot of land, but there are not many houses, especially the inner house only has two courtyards and an inner hall water pavilion, to be honest, it can really only live in the two of them, and others can't live in it." ”
Zhang Sanniang felt the same way, she nodded and smiled: "You and I completely want to go together, there are indeed too few houses here, obviously it is an eight-acre house, and it feels like there are fewer rooms than the three-acre house in my hometown, so I don't approve of relatives living in the inner house, and now everyone lives outside." ”
With Zhang Sanniang's encouragement, Wang continued: "It is for this reason that after the inner house is arranged, we will lock the door, and when the guests come, they will not be able to enter the inner house, and everyone can only stay in the outer house. ”
Zhang Sanniang suddenly felt a little inappropriate, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, she looked at Wang suspiciously, hoping that she could explain it clearly.
Wang said: "Although the time of the banquet is from noon to dusk, in fact, most of the guests will come back in the afternoon, from afternoon to evening, the guests will stay here for at least two hours, and the female guests will generally avoid it, so we must find a place for the male and female guests to rest, especially after drinking, the guests will definitely be overwhelmed with alcohol and need to rest in the room, these details we must take into account." ”
Zhang Sanniang sighed, "If you don't say it, I really can't think of these details, mother-in-law, just say it!" I don't want Aning's marriage to be laughed at because it's not well thought out. ”
Wang nodded, pointed to the open space where the banquet was originally going to be held, and said: "There will be two big tents there, mainly for male guests to gather and chat, and drunk male guests can also rest."
Then the main hall on the first floor of Cuiyun Building is the place of worship, after the arrangement can not enter the guests, the door must be locked, there are several rooms next to the lobby piled up sundries, we have to clean it out, to the bride and groom waiting for the place to worship, now there is a lack of female guests to rest. ”
"Female guests can go up to the second and third floors!"
As soon as Zhang Sanniang finished speaking, she suddenly understood that if the second and third floors were to be arranged as rest rooms for female guests, then they would not be able to live in people.
Wang said apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed to mention this problem, but I can't help but solve this practical problem, or invite my mother to temporarily live in Pei'er's third grandfather's mansion, there is a VIP room there, the conditions are very good, and life is very convenient, there is no problem to live for a few months."
Or our family has an empty house on the side of the Suzaku Gate, about five acres, which is Pei'er's dowry, and the mother can move over to live, but there has been no one for more than ten years, and it needs to be cleaned up. ”
Zhang Sanniang sighed, "My mother-in-law has a point, A-Ning and Pei'er are married, of course they have their own place, we shouldn't live with them, it's because we didn't think it through, so let's discuss it, move out today and vacate it for you to arrange." ”
"I'm sorry for making such an impudent request, my mother-in-law!"
"It's okay, I'll go and discuss with Daddy Aning."
Zhang Sanniang turned around and walked towards Cuiyun Tower, just when she saw Mingren, she hurriedly said, "Mingren, where is your father?" ”
Akihito scratched his head, "It seems that I was discussing the menu with the restaurant at the Qingfeng Restaurant." ”
"Hurry up and get Daddy, there are important changes."
"I'll go!" Akihito ran out like a gust of wind.
