According to the normal situation, the process on the first day of marriage should be to kowtow to the direct relatives first, then recognize the collateral relatives, and then open the ancestral hall to enter the family tree, and eat only when there is time in the middle.

Wei Chen's parents died early, and the family population is simple, so naturally there are not so many rules.

Even if the morning is spent catching up on sleep for his wives, as long as Wei Chen feels that it is okay, it is okay.

After lunch, Wei Chen took Rulan and Minglan to the ancestral hall of the family, kowtowed to incense, visited the ancestors and ancestors, and listed the names of Rulan and Minglan on the family tree.

In terms of the scenery of the ancestors, the Sheng family is naturally far better than the Wei family.

If you count the generation of Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng, there are four Jinshi in the three generations of the Sheng family.

Even in Bianjing, where the ministers are all over the place, this is a remarkable achievement.

And the Wei family, in addition to Wei Chen, counting five or six generations, Wei Mingzhao is commendable for such a talent.

Compared with the Sheng family, which is already known as a Qingliu family, the ancestors of the Wei family do seem a little shabby.

But even so, when Rulan and Minglan stood in the Wei family ancestral hall, they still didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.

Erlan respectfully knelt down on the futon, then burned incense and prayed, and finally put the incense stick into the Ding furnace before the salute was finished.

The so-called marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, they have entered the Wei family in this life, and they are the wives of the Wei family.

Regardless of whether the gods enshrined on the altar of this offering table were pawns of peddlers or hired farmers and laborers, they are the ancestors of their husbands and the source of the bloodline of the Wei family, and they should worship sincerely as the bride of the Wei family.

Wei Chen took Rulan and Minglan to worship their ancestors, and when they came out of the ancestral hall, they heard Yuan'an report that Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming had arrived and were waiting in the front hall.

With the identities of Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming, they came to the Wei Mansion before dawn, put out the elders' money, and wanted Rulan and Minglan to serve with tea, Wei Chen couldn't say anything, at most, he didn't feel very comfortable.

Now Wei Ruyi and Zhang Mingxuan came over in the afternoon, obviously because they didn't want to come to the door early in the morning to disturb, and wanted to leave space for Wei Chen and his wife to be alone.

It is so rare to find such an approachable and sympathetic elder.

Thinking of this, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and when he said goodbye to Rulan and Minglan, he took them to the front hall to meet his aunt and uncle.

In the front hall, Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming, who were sitting at the top, had eaten the tea of the three young couples, and their faces were smiling.

They are all from the past, and they naturally know whether the husband and wife are harmonious on the first day of marriage, just by looking at the bride's complexion.

Rulan and Minglan can be seen at a glance from the temperament of a girl to a young woman, and the moisturized smile on their faces can't be hidden.

】

Seeing that their husband and wife lived a harmonious and happy life, Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming were very pleased as elders.

Wei Ruyi especially glanced at Minglan a few more times.

As Minglan 's sister-in-law, although she treats her two nieces and daughters-in-law equally on the surface, she is always more inclined to Minglan in her heart, which is also human nature.

It was Wei Ruyi's idea to come to the Wei Mansion this afternoon.

In Wei Ruyi's mind, Minglan as a younger sister, most of the time can only take her turn to serve her husband in the second half of the night, if she has to get up early again, it will be too difficult for her.

If he can come to the door later, he can also give Minglan more time to rest.

This little eccentricity is beneficial to Yu Minglan but harmless, even if Wei Chen knows about it afterwards, most of them will laugh it off.

This is Wei Ruyi's intelligence.

After gossiping, Wei Ruyi finally talked about the purpose of the couple coming to the Wei Mansion today, and they came to leave.

They came to Bianjing for Wei Chen's marriage, but now that Wei Chen's marriage has been decided, there is no need for them to stay in Bianjing.

Hearing that his aunt and uncle were going back, Wei Chen felt quite sorry in his heart.

However, he also knew that after so many years, the Zhang family had become one of the few wealthy businessmen in Jiangning City, and in addition to Wuquan Distillery, he had expanded many businesses.

With such a large industry, it is really inconvenient to command remotely thousands of miles away, and a lot of affairs have been accumulated in a few months, all waiting for Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming to return to Jiangning to deal with it.

Therefore, Wei Chen did not insist on keeping it, but only promised his aunt and uncle that when they were leaving, he would take the family roll out of the city to send them off in person.

This is also Wei Chen's thoughts, Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming naturally will not refuse, and nodded immediately.

At this time, Wei Ruyi suddenly looked around and handed Wei Chen a look, Wei Chen immediately understood, and waved his hand to let the people in the hall retreat.

Wei Ruyi smiled and nodded to Wei Chen, and then took a knee-high rosewood box from Zhang Ming's hand, and moved it to the table in front of Rulan with some difficulty.

Rulan looked at the box curiously, and saw that the box was covered with gold and vermilion lacquer, copper skin and corners, and a heavy copper lock hung on it, and immediately understood that the contents inside must be very valuable.

"Aunt and uncle, what is this?"

"Just open it and see." Wei Ruyi said with a smile, and handed Rulan another key as he spoke, thinking that it was the original match of the copper lock on the box.

Under Wei Ruyi's encouragement and urging, Rulan finally took the key, inserted the key into the copper lock, twisted it hard, and opened the rosewood box.

Lifting the lid of the box, what caught Rulan's eyes was a stack of thick account books, Rulan was a little unclear, so she picked up a few books and opened them to take a look.

"In the western suburbs of Bianjing, Anhuazhuang, there are 3,078 houses, 6,352 acres of fertile land, 12,931 acres of mountains, more than 1,200 livestock, and 2,983 taels ......of silver last year."

When Rulan saw this, she couldn't help but tremble, and her hands also shook, and the account book in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Wei Ruyi explained on the side: "Brother Chen'er's industries are mostly in Jiangning, and his uncle and I have replaced those industries near Bianjing, which is also convenient for you to take care of." The main thing is that the house, the grange, the mountains and forests, and the shops are all in this box. ”

"Official, ......official, this is all our family's industry?" Rulan turned her head to look at Wei Chen, her head was confused.

She had just looked at the account books of a Zhuangzi, and there were nearly 3,000 taels of income a year, so how much silver did this box of land and shop books represent......

Rulan didn't dare to think about it.

"That's all?"

Wei Chen said with a smile: "There are also hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets, several high-grade Zhuangzi given by His Majesty, a few salt villages sent by Zhong Huai, a few real estate in Beijing sent by Yuan Ruo, dozens of treasures Jun porcelain sent by Zhao Tuanlian in Yuzhou, and more than 100 calligraphy and paintings sent by Hanlin Academy......

are all in the backyard warehouse, I will take Ru'er with you when I turn around, it is not easy to earn these belongings for my husband, and I will entrust them to you, the housewife, in the future. ”
