Chapter 255: Relatives Meet
Of course, the mirror is indispensable, which represents completeness, completeness, and the grace of the bride, and is a sweet and happy wish for the bride's married life.
There is also a ruyi scale, which is used for the groom to lift the bride's red hijab, four-color sugar, comb, seafood, Sijing fruit and the kissing scissors for the invitation, which is one of the "six certificates" in the traditional wedding.
The last box is a gift book and 1,500 taels of silver, which is a document used by the man to give the dowry, listing the content of the dowry.
The head of the Qian family saw the gift book, her eyes flashed, these dowries are not worth mentioning to the Qian family, who has a lot of money, but the Xiang family is a rising star, and the foundation is not stable, but they can still come up with so many dowries, and they really attach great importance to this family matter.
"In-laws, when do you ask for a date, I can also prepare a dowry."
The sister-in-law said with some embarrassment: "I won't hide it from you, I originally wanted to ask for a date at the beginning of next month, but we received a holy decree to go to the imperial city, so the days have to be moved back, as for how long, I really can't say." ”
The mother of the Qian family was shocked, she was willing to marry the only girl to the Xiang family, but she liked that there was a husband in the second room, if the future of the master was bright, they would be one step closer to the direction of the imperial businessman.
"In-laws, what do you have to do in the imperial city, it's inconvenient to reveal one or two."
"I don't know very well, it's my father-in-law who is dealing with this."
Of course, the sister-in-law won't tell the truth, and now the daughter-in-law hasn't entered the door after all, so you can't talk nonsense about many things that shouldn't be said.
"In-laws, in fact, two days later is also an auspicious day, if you don't hurry, just ask for a date in two days, when to welcome in person, just wait for you to come back."
The mother of the Qian family did not hesitate to set the date, and they all received the holy decree, so it must be a good thing for the Xiang family to go to the imperial city, as long as the three books and six ceremonies are gone, the two books and five ceremonies, the Xiang family will never regret it.
The sister-in-law and the rich sister-in-law glanced at each other, they didn't dare to make this decision, they had to go back and discuss with their in-laws before they could decide.
The mother of the Qian family also understands some difficulties in being a daughter-in-law, especially the sister-in-law, who is a serious mother-in-law of her daughter, so she can't be offended, so she agreed repeatedly, anyway, her daughter's dowry has already been prepared, and she is just one time away.
Of course, the Xiang family is interested, two days later, the dowry of the daughter of the Qian family was carried into the Zhangyue Farm, which was originally deserted on the outskirts of the city, this day was particularly lively, and the red makeup of ten miles was worthy of its reputation, which made the Qian family famous.
The young Junjie secretly said that it was a pity, the heirs of the Qian family were thin, and the concubines had a son and a daughter, and there were many concubines and concubines, but the concubines could have such a dowry, there must be none.
Zhao Rongzhe was very anxious, but the Xiang family was in the midst of three books and six ceremonies, and he didn't dare to urge, so he could only wait for the Qian family's dowry to enter the door, and then take the Xiang family to the imperial city.
Fortunately, Old Man Xiang made preparations with both hands, and bought several carriages, and the food and drink on the road had been prepared, and Grandma Xiang also took Shui Miao and others to make the clothes to be worn in the palace.
As for jewelry, don't worry, Fu Bao has given a lot, all of which are placed in the warehouse, the biggest problem is Shen Miaoqin, which will be produced next month, in case of bumps, it is too unsafe.
Xiang Hanqin volunteered to take care of Shen Miaoqin, and Hanhe's daughter-in-law, the village chief's daughter-in-law, and Shui Miao and others all said that they were there to ensure that Shen Miaoqin was fine.
As the youngest son of the Xiang family, Jixiang will definitely go to the imperial city, and in the past two days, he has traveled all over the provincial capital, looking for several famous stable women and doctors, the purpose is to ensure the safety of his daughter-in-law and children.
Old Man Xiang handed over the farm to his younger brother and the village chief to manage, handed over the breeding to the butcher to manage, and Ping An and Jixiang also handed over the Buzhuang to Xiao Er and Wang Ji to manage.
Perfume Root, Xiangyang and Xianghan are even more restaurants and inns as their homes, and they have learned a lot from not knowing anything to hiring someone to manage them.
Finally came the day of departure, early in the morning, more than a dozen members of the Xiang family sat in six carriages, and set off in a mighty manner, Shen Miaoqin touched her big belly and looked at the dust raised all the way with grief.
The son of the Qian family hid in the carriage, secretly observing the movements of the Xiang family, and he saw Zhao Rongzhe sitting majestically on a tall horse, wearing a military uniform that was particularly dazzling.
When everyone was far away, he rushed home excitedly and told everything he saw, and the mother of the Qian family heard that the Xiang family actually had a guard camp escort, and happily hugged her daughter and cried.
The daughters of the Qian family showed expectation in their eyes, and they all said that people go to high places, and water flows to low places, although their Qian family has money, but they have no power, and if they continue to develop, Nuoda's family wealth will not be able to be preserved after all.
"Mother, you go out tomorrow to inquire if there is any nurturing grandma in the provincial capital, if so, help me invite a few over."
"Good girl, you really want to go in front of your mother, where you need tomorrow, your mother will go today, it would be better if you could find the old lady who retired from the palace."
The mother of the Qian family went to find the nurturing grandmother in a hurry, and the same topic was also discussed in the carriage of the Xiang family, and Grandma Xiang also thought of this problem.
"The peaceful family, the rich family, when you get to the inn, I will teach you the basic etiquette, the palace is a tiger's mouth, if you are not careful, we will lose our lives."
The rich sister-in-law is okay, but the sister-in-law is scared, she prayed and looked at Fubao, can she not enter the palace, she still wants to marry her daughter-in-law.
Fu Bao covered his mouth and smiled, touched the divine fox who became a little fox again, with his sister here, he was afraid that his life would be lost, something impossible.
So, every time they went to an inn, the rich sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were in pain, and just standing made their backs and legs hurt, not to mention that they could only sit on half of their buttocks, and even their legs were numb after a long time.
The most difficult thing is to salute, no matter how hard they learn, they can't learn the essence of salutation, which makes Grandma Xiang shake her head anxiously, and regret not teaching them earlier.
Looking at the two daughters-in-law who were revealed as soon as they got into the carriage, Grandma Xiang had no interest in reminding her anymore, just do what you want, it's a big deal to be beheaded.
It is indeed very safe along the way, it is estimated that there are people from the guard camp, not to mention bandits or anything, even the hungry people dare not come over, Fubao wants to get some food out, but it is really inconvenient for so many people, let's talk about it at night.
Three days later, they arrived at the imperial city, and Zhao Rongzhe had already asked people to bring the letter back a day earlier, clean up the other courtyards in the mansion, and let the Xiang family live in them.
Unexpectedly, the convoy was stopped at the gate of the imperial city, and when he saw the people, Zhao Rongzhe did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and waved at the two people in front of him: "Master Hou, Mrs. ”
