Chapter 713: Preparations for Marriage
In the following days, Shen Hongjun officially went to the Ministry of War to serve as Shangshu, and Yun Xue took the time to visit the Zhong family, the Qian family, the Jiang family and other places.
Qianru now has three sons and a daughter, the second is a daughter, and the third and fourth are twins. When giving birth to twins, Qianru was also very dangerous, and Yunni came over in person, so she could be regarded as saving the mother and son. After giving birth to twins, Qianru has not conceived any more children in these years.
The old man and the old lady of the Zhong family are also very good, and their bodies are still very strong, Yun Xue is also relieved to see them like this.
Jiang Chengtao is no longer by the emperor's side, and Emperor Yonghui loves Jiang Chengtao very much, and he also intends to cultivate him. In the past eight years, Jiang Chengtao has gone around in a circle in the six departments, and now he is now the squire of the household department. Mingzhu and Jiang Chengtao now have three children, and their small life is very nourishing.
The rest, like Shen Hongjun's aunt and uncle's house, as well as the Xu family, and Yun Xue also went over to visit. and the original Lord Tong's mansion, Yun Xue also passed. Now that Lord Tong is already the governor of Shuntian Mansion, Mrs. Tong saw Yun Xue, and she was also very enthusiastic about Yun Xue, after all, when Lord Tong was able to transfer back to the capital, Shen Hongjun also contributed.
Shen Fang and a few went to study in the Guogong Mansion, maybe the children were older and became sensible, but they didn't cause anything. Yun Xue fulfilled her promise when the children were resting, took them to Xishan to run horses, and played happily for two days.
Time slipped away quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of October. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Han family went to the palace with a dowry of one hundred and twenty quintals. Yunlin has already recognized Ruth as her sister-in-law, Ruth is going to marry in the palace, and of course the marriage will be on the side of the palace.
A group of people carried the dowry, blowing and beating to the palace, in the sound of firecrackers, the dowry was carried into the courtyard of Ruth in the palace.
Yunlin and his wife, as Ruth's brother and sister-in-law, received the Han family and others as well. The two parties sat down in the flower hall, and then the official media invited by the Han family wrote a marriage letter for Yun Lei and Ruth. "Congratulations, the old woman wishes the third son and Miss Ruth a hundred years of happiness." The official media smiled while handing over the marriage certificate to the man and woman for safekeeping.
Jinxiu and Yunni each gave the matchmaker a big red envelope, which made the matchmaker happy. "The old woman is the most willing to do this kind of errand, and neither side needs the old woman to bother talking, but she can get a good reward. Thank you to the princess and Mrs. Bo, this silver, the old woman wants to keep it, this is the princess's reward. The matchmaker was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Since the marriage letter has been written, the process of marriage is considered to be completed. So a banquet was set up in the flower hall, and everyone ate the banquet together, and thanked the matchmaker, which was considered a ceremony. After the banquet, the matchmaker directly said goodbye and left, while Yun Xue, Jinxiu and others went to Ruth's courtyard to talk to Ruth.
"Thank you eldest sister and sister-in-law for their attention, not only for the dowry prepared for me, but also for sending such a rich dowry today." Ruth bowed deeply to Yun Xue and the others, and said very gratefully.
A few days ago, Yunxue and Jinxiu discussed and bought a lot of dowry for Ruth, and then sent it to the palace in advance. Ruth was alone in Da Zhou, with no parents and relatives by her side, Yun Xue and others took pity on her situation, so they specially prepared a very rich dowry.
"Look, what are you polite about? You are Yunlei's daughter-in-law, and you are a member of our Han family. Preparing a dowry for you is also to give our Han family face, the left and right are the things of your little couple, can you still run away to another house? Yun Xue pulled Ruth's hand and smiled.
Ruth's face flushed, "Thank you eldest sister and sister-in-law for your pity, Ruth is grateful." ”
"What's the thanks? If you get married, let's get along well, it's better than anything else. Jinxiu also said with a smile.
"That is, we are all daughters-in-law of the Han family, get along well in the future, and everything will be prosperous." Lizhu also kept laughing on the side.
Everyone was talking and laughing together, and Yun Xue asked how the wedding dress and other things were prepared.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, the needlework room of the palace is working day and night. In the winter moon, it will be able to do it all, and it will definitely not delay Ruth's marriage. Over there, Yunni said loudly.
Now that Ruth has become Yunlin's sister-in-law, these things have to be Yunni to help Zhang Luo. The craftsmanship of the palace needlework room is incomparable elsewhere, these embroidery girls work day and night, and no matter how much embroidery is done.
Yun Xue nodded, "Okay, with you helping Zhang Luo, I'll be relieved." Yunlei is the youngest boy in the family, and Ruth is in such a situation, let's pay more attention to it, don't let people think that we treat Ruth lightly. ”
"Your sisters and sisters-in-law are so bothered, Ruth doesn't know what to say." Ruth's heart was moved, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
"Look at you, what is it worth? Our big Zhou, we pay attention to the family, it is a loss, a glory. We do this, not only for your good looks, but also for Yun Lei and the entire Han family. Don't think about anything, you can rest easy, just wait to be the bride. These days, you have to have a good rest, you know? ”
Jinxiu stepped forward, pulled the veil, helped Ruth wipe her tears, and comforted her.
Ruth stopped crying and smiled, "Well, I see. ”
Yun Xue and the others talked for a while, and then left the palace. This marriage, the Han family is busy with the back of the head, and there are still a lot of things to do in the house, so they can't be delayed outside for too long.
After Yunlei is married, it should be Yunxia who is married. Yunxia has been nesting in her yard all day long, doing some needlework and the like. Yunxia is similar to Yunxue, she is not good at needlework, so the cumbersome things such as wedding dresses are handed over to Xiuzhuang to do, and Yunxia just makes some underwear and so on.
And Yun Xue and the others kept helping Yun Xia buy all kinds of dowries. Yunxia is the youngest in the family, and she grew up with a big guy who was pampered and pampered, Yun Zhen and Jinxiu began to prepare a dowry for Yunxia a long time ago, and Yun Xue also kept it for Yunxia when she encountered good things over the years. In this way, Yunxia's dowry is very considerable.
On October 16, Qian Mingyuan and Xu, accompanied Tianfu, came to Zhongyongbo's Mansion with a dowry. Tianfu is a person with a heart, and the dowry was prepared with one hundred and forty-eight lifts, and the porters were all dressed in new clothes, carrying those gift boxes tied with red silk, and followed Lile to the door of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion.
October in the capital is not very cold, so there are still a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the streets. When everyone saw this scene, they all stopped to watch, and many people inquired around. When they learned that it was the youngest sister of Zhongyongbo who was married to the general of Dinghai on the southeast coast of Pingding, everyone was amazed. "That's what a family affair is."
On the Han family's side, it was naturally a grand welcome, and Yun Zhen and the others hurriedly welcomed Qian Mingyuan, his wife, Tianfu and others into the mansion.
It's still the official media, it's still the same procedure, "The old woman is famous now, and even the matchmaker for the son and the young lady of the Bofu, everyone who knows it is envious." The matchmaker said with a smile while writing the marriage book.
After a while, the marriage was written, and both parties checked that it was correct, so they put it away. This time, Xu and Jinxiu also gave the matchmaker a thick red envelope, and they made the matchmaker so happy.
After the marriage, the Han family seized the time to get married. Because Yunxia got married and Yunlei married on the same day, in this case, all kinds of things would be even more cumbersome. The courtyard where Yun Lei lived had to be cleaned up again, and the furniture and other things had to be relocated.
The doors and windows everywhere have also been repainted, not to mention the walls, etc., repainted, and after they have dried, they have been pasted with beautiful and festive wallpaper. As for the curtains, all kinds of cushions, pillows, etc., they were all replaced with festive patterns.
Yunxue has to go to Bofu to help almost every day, Jinxiu is pregnant with a child, she can't work hard, and the son of the Lizhu family is only a little more than a year old, and he can't leave for too long. So, these things all fell on Yun Xue's shoulders. Fortunately, there are enough people in the Bofu, and Yushu, Rulan and others often come over to help, so Yun Xue is not tired.
Time passed quietly in such a busy, as if it hadn't been done yet, and it was in the twenties of winter. The Bofu is basically well placed, and Yun Xue can also breathe a sigh of relief.
On this day, Yun Xue was discussing the banquet with Jinxiu and Lizhu on the day of marriage, when someone suddenly came to report outside, saying that the people who went to the Northeast had come back and picked up a lot of people.
Yun Lei and Yun Xia got married together, this is a big deal, naturally I can't help but tell the people in the village. Jinxiu sent someone to the village early to report and pick up people.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, I don't know who is here." Yun Xue and Lizhu looked at each other and said. "Jinxiu, stay in the house. Your body is getting heavier and heavier now, and there is a lot of wind and snow outside, so it's better to go somewhere else in peace. Yun Xue turned her head and said a word to Jinxiu, and then went out with Lizhu.
When everyone came to the gate, they saw a large carriage coming to the gate of Bofu and had just stopped. From the carriage, many people gradually came down, Wu Chunsheng and his wife, Yuxiang and Yuqi with children, Gu Chengye and his wife with children. There are also Hanyu's family, the Zhao family, the Li family, the Zhang family and others, this time there are a lot more people than Yunxue.
Yun Xue searched carefully, but she didn't see Dong Lao, Yun Xue was a little disappointed, thinking that Dong Lao was old and didn't want to toss back and forth, so she didn't come.
