Chapter 596: Make-up Urging (1)
Yun Xue heard that it was the old man from Linjiang Prefecture who came, and she was a little puzzled, who is here? "Excuse me." After Yun Xue said something, she left the table to check.
"Ah, why is my sister here?" Yun Xue saw that it was Tong Zhizhou's wife.
Mrs. Tong glared at Yun Xue, "Why didn't I come?" How can you beat this underwhelming Nizi if you don't come? Didn't you say okay, when you get married, I'm going to send you off. As a result, you didn't even think to tell us, you Nizi, it looks like you're really going to be beaten. ”
After Mrs. Tong finished speaking, she burst out laughing. She walked to Yun Xue's side and took Yun Xue's hand to look at it carefully, "Don't say it, this complexion is so good, my sister has entered the capital, but she is becoming more and more beautiful." ”
Seeing Mrs. Tong, Yun Xue felt happy from the bottom of her heart, this was a friend she made in the state city. Mrs. Tong is hearty and atmospheric, and she is also very angry with Yun Xue. "When people are in good spirits at happy events, they will naturally look good." Yun Xue was not polite, and naturally admitted it.
The two sat down, and Mrs. Tong said again, "You asked people to go to the shop to settle the bill, and then Shopkeeper Liu told me." You girl, you still see me outside, and you don't even give me a letter. I knew that, so I settled down in the house and came to the capital. You also know that my mother's family is also in this capital, so I just happened to come back to see my family. It's been three years since I left, and it's time to come back. ”
What Mrs. Tong didn't say was that when she came back this time, she also wanted to go out and see how to transfer Master Tong back. It's been almost three years since Lord Tong arrived in Linjiang Prefecture, so it's time to move. Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun are also the way she wants to move around, but right now Yun Xue is busy getting married, not the time to speak.
"By the way, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou knew that I was coming, so they asked me to bring you a gift, which can be regarded as adding makeup to you." As Mrs. Tong spoke, she handed the gift slip to Yun Xue.
Yun Xue took the gift list, "Thank you, sisters, for such a long journey, my sister helped bring it." This affection, the girl wrote down. Yun Xue was very moved, the ladies she met in the state city were actually quite good.
"It just so happens that in the flower hall next to it, some ladies in Beijing are having a banquet. My sister might as well come over along, and I'll help my sister introduce her. There is no harm in getting to know these people. Yun Xue can probably guess the reason why Mrs. Tong returned to Beijing. Mrs. Tong was very kind to her, and she was willing to help.
Mrs. Tong's family is not a famous family in the capital, just a petty official. Master Tong was born in the imperial examination, and he had no foundation in the capital before. It was also by chance that I met the Shen family, so that I was able to transfer from a small Zhixian in Gyeonggi to Linjiang Prefecture to be a Zhizhou.
Yun Xue said that she wanted to help Mrs. Tong introduce some wives about officials, which was exactly the way Mrs. Tong dreamed of. When Mrs. Tong heard this, she was naturally very happy. "Thank you, girl."
Yun Xue led Mrs. Tong into the flower hall, "Ladies, this is a sister Yun Xue met in Linjiang Prefecture, I heard that Yun Xue was going to get married, and she came to the capital to marry. ”
All the ladies in the hall turned their heads to look at Mrs. Tong at this time, and then smiled, "Sister, come and sit down." Today is a good day for the big guy to add makeup to Miss Han, let's have a good time together. ”
The person who can make Yun Xue treat him differently is not easy to think about. Besides, looking at this lady who came in, her words and deeds did not look like ordinary people. I can't say that she is also an official wife, and it is best to make friends, and it is not easy to offend if you don't make friends. As a result, everyone's attitude towards Mrs. Tong was good.
When they inquired about it, this was Zhizhou's wife, and everyone was a little more enthusiastic. Once the officials who have been released out of the country have the opportunity to return to Beijing, their prospects will be good. Maybe this Lord Tong has a great future in the future, and it is best not to offend such a person. In officialdom, we can't be too short-sighted.
A group of women are together, talking and laughing, but it is very lively. Everyone stayed in Han's house until the end of the day, and then left one after another. Before everyone left, they all told the Yunxue sisters that they would definitely walk around each other when they were free in the future.
Sending away these ladies who came to add makeup, Yun Xue pulled Mrs. Tong to talk together, and Mrs. Tong stayed at Han's house for a while before leaving.
After sending away these officials and their dependents, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the key is that they are not very familiar with others, for fear that there is something inconsiderate and they don't know if they offend people.
"Okay, let's hurry up and put the dowry back to the end, see how much it is in total, don't get it wrong." Han Yue'e said.
Originally, the dowry was 180 lifts. Later, Shen Hongjun gave Yunxue so many Zhuangzi and shops, as well as a lot of rare jewelry, etc., which were put together, and they had to be carried by more than thirty. After discussing with several daughters-in-law of the Zhong family, Jinxiu added some precious medicinal materials and supplements, so that a total of two hundred and sixteen dowries.
All the dowries were packed, and red silk was tied on them, just waiting to be carried away tomorrow. Han Yue'e finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I haven't seen so many dowries, Yun Xue is blessed, Shen Gongzi is in pain, and Niang Niang and Wang Ye are also helping." This dowry is carried out, and others can't underestimate it. ”
Yun Xue smiled, "If you want me to say, these things are not necessary, it is better to give me the silver." She said jokingly.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family glared at Yun Xue when she heard this, "It's pure nonsense, who married with so much silver?" Isn't that a joke? ”
Yushu and Qianru, as well as Jinxiu and the others all covered their mouths and snickered, Han Yue'e and Aunt Fang also glared at Yunxue, "You're going to go out the day after tomorrow, you still don't have a door." You. Han Yue'e smiled and shook her head.
Yun Xue smiled, "Aunt Zhong, aunts, aunts, Aunt Fang, these days, you have been tired. Yun Xue, thank you, elders. ”
Yun Xue said, and bowed to everyone.
"Look at you, kid, why are you doing so much with us? Since we went to the village, our two families have been in excellent condition, and we treat you as if you were our own children. Now that you're married, the aunts come over to help, and it's worth remembering like this? ”
"Today's Han family is not what it used to be, and my aunt can't wait to come over to help." Baozhu Niang said with a smile. "Besides, we're relatives now, if we don't come to help you, who else can we help?"
There was another burst of laughter, and then they went to rest. The daughters-in-law of the Zhong family simply lived in the Han family. Tomorrow, people will come over to urge makeup, and here we have to prepare a banquet and serve the marrying gentlemen who urge makeup. Wouldn't it be a shame if there was a mistake in the preparation of the banquet? They're just here to help take care of it.
Qianru's body had just recovered, and Yun Xue didn't dare to let her work too hard, so she happened to go home with the Zhong family, Saburo and Goro.
The second day, that is, early in the morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar month. In the Jing'an Hou Mansion, all the marrying masters have arrived. Shen Hongjun's grandfather and grandmother came over last night. Some relatives of the Shen family had already come to congratulate them at this time.
For example, Shen Hongjun's maternal ancestor Xu family, and Lao Guogong's maternal ancestor Yun family, these are all distinguished guests and the closest relatives. Generally, they will come early and leave until the newcomer recognizes their relatives.
There is no one in the old lady's maiden family, so on this occasion, there is one less relative. And the Yun family is not only Shen Xuan's foreign family, but also his father-in-law's family, such a status should be the most valued. But it was Shen Hongjun who got married, which was a bit embarrassing. In addition, the Yun family and Shen Xuan made such a fuss, and the people of the Yun family only came two or three.
However, Shen Hongjun's foreign family, the Xu family, came to a lot of relatives. Shen Hongjun's uncles, except for the one who was an official in Lianghuai, the rest all arrived. Uncle mother-in-law, uncle-in-law, this uncle is going to sit at the table, and he can't wait for him the most, and the Shen family is even more grand.
And in the main hall in the front yard, it is even more lively at the moment. From Yun Lin's post, the eight gentlemen invited to welcome the relatives are either the sons of the Marquis of the Gongfu Mansion or the Marquis. They are all wearing python robes, with jade belts around their waists, and they are majestic.
The golden five-beam crown, six-beam crown, and seven-beam crown, the red python robe, and the colorful colors directly reflect the golden brilliance of the main hall. In the capital, almost all the famous noble families have arrived.
It's just that these people are not too old, almost all of them are twenty-four or five years old, all of them are handsome and chic, and the jade trees are in the wind, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people. provoked those girls, all of them were red-faced, and they lowered their heads and looked straight to the ground.
"Old lady, you didn't see outside, good fellow, this situation is simply terrifying." Mama Liang poked her head out of the front, and then came back. "Our third young master has invited the princes of various provinces to be the greeting masters."
The old lady nodded, the second child had already told her yesterday that this matter was only possible thanks to Yunlin's appearance. The Great Zhou Dynasty is almost 200 years old, and there are countless honors and nobles who have been rewarded. But the meritorious families that can really be passed down to this day and are still Xuanhe have almost all arrived today.
Whoever sees such a scene will be amazed. The old lady smiled, believing that the guests who came to congratulate her would also be surprised. When I thought of that scene, the old lady found it particularly interesting.
At the beginning of the morning, everyone left the Hou Mansion and walked towards the Zhongyong Bo Mansion according to the pre-agreed route.
Shen Hongjun took the lead, walking in the front, followed by eight greeting masters. So many people, all wearing super-first-class royal python robes, walking on the street, it was an absolute sensation.
and a group of young men carrying the make-up box in the back, all of them are in good spirits. The figure is straight, carrying things without squinting, and walks over in a majestic manner.
The pedestrians on the side of the road couldn't help but stop and admire.
