Chapter 29: The Farce of the Sheng Mansion!
But the arrow had to be sent again, and all the guests outside had arrived, and besides, the earl had also come in person, so it was still not too stiff.
I can only push open the door to persuade: "Lady, it is estimated that Mrs. Yuan is really sick, although it is not suitable for Uncle Yuan to come by himself, but this just proves that he attaches great importance to it~"
"My lady, now that the Yuan family has come, and Uncle Yuan has personally sent it off, no matter what, we still have to go to greet it~"
"Hmph, she Mrs. Yuan won't come, why should I go over?"
"What you say is wrong, Uncle Yuan is the lord of the mansion, and I heard that the Yuan family came to report, just a few days ago, our future eldest son-in-law was personally ordered to be promoted by the official family, and now he is wearing a green robe like me, he has this achievement at the age of 18, and his future is limitless......"
Don't look at Wang Ruofu's explosion, but in fact, his mind is relatively simple, and he was coaxed by Sheng Hong's three or two sentences, and the two of them smiled and took their eldest son Changbai, and Changwu, the eldest son of the eldest son of the big house, to the dock to greet them.
It is natural to bring your own son, why do you want to bring your nephew with you, it is because the Sheng family's big house and two rooms have always supported each other.
Changwu is the son of his cousin Sheng Wei, who likes to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, and he can be said to know nothing about the imperial examinations, so he wants to help his nephew in a certain position in the army.
This time is also an opportunity, the Yuan family is also noble no matter what, and he can still speak in the army, and the old lady used to be a famous general in the northwest battalion, and there are still a lot of old departments.
At the dock, the two families talked to each other, Sheng Hong's official position was relatively small, and because he was the host, he preemptively spoke: "Brother Boquan, it's hard to travel and travel, hurry up to the house to rest~"
"I'm really sorry, I was infected with the wind chill when I set off, it's too slow Brother Sheng and the eldest lady, I apologize to you here!"
Uncle Yuan also really went out, and in front of everyone, an earl of the third rank actually bowed to the general judgment of the seventh grade.
Seeing this scene, the unhappiness in Sheng Hong's heart naturally disappeared.
Hurriedly helped up: "Why is Boquan like this, it really makes Sheng ashamed~"
After that, several people got into the carriage and rushed towards the Sheng Mansion, followed by a long line of dowry gifts.
Now the people of Yangzhou are considered to have long knowledge, the people in front have walked for a quarter of an hour, and the dowry on this ship has not been unloaded, which shows how many things there are.
"Oh, look at this pomp, it's really worthy of the Earl's Mansion in the capital~"
"Stained stains, this grand lord is so blessed!"
"Hey, Zhao Juren, don't you always say that you don't have an ordinary relationship with Lord Tongju, why didn't you go over to ask for a cup of wine?"
"Fuck off~"
Yuan Wenchun and his wife in the carriage heard the voices of a group outside, and the noble children who came from the capital were almost upright to the sky, and their nostrils were almost up to the sky, and their sense of superiority was full.
However, Zhang's focus is different, looking at the so many dowries in the back, he couldn't help but say sourly.
"Official, our future second brother and sister are really blessed, my dowry back then was not more than a quarter of this!"
"How can this be compared~" Yuan Wenchun smiled bitterly.
Later, seeing his wife's blank face, he deliberately leaned into his ear and whispered: "A large part of these things were specially prepared for Brother Shao'er to marry his wife by his grandmother and her old man, otherwise how could our family take out so many things~"
"Hmph, eccentric, you are the eldest son, grandmother, why should she..."
"Okay, don't complain, let my father hear it!"
Yuan Wenchun hurriedly interrupted his wife's words, which was unfilial to talk about elders behind his back.
even changed the topic and said: "I'm worried now, what should I do about what my mother explained, Runniang, you can think of a way for your husband!" ”
"Official, we can find Gu Tingye who came with us, I heard that he is a famous gentleman in the capital, it would be good to win the dowry, presumably my father is not easy to say, after all, Ning Yuanhou is now a celebrity in the official family~"
Zhang is still a woman after all, she has the common problem of being cautious, she is uncomfortable when she sees this dowry, and she wants to do something by all means.
After arriving at the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Hong and his wife went to prepare first, and when the time was about the same, the matchmaker invited by the Yuan family glanced at the lord.
After receiving the answer, he shouted loudly: "Bianjing Zhongqin Earl's Mansion, come to send the second son Yuan Wenshao to the appointment!" ”
The little guy in the concierge of the Sheng Mansion, hearing this, hurriedly ran into the courtyard to report the news, this process is indispensable, and finally Sheng Hong and his wife sat upright and replied, "Yes!" ”
The servant saluted, then ran back to the door again, and said to the matchmaker, "Yes!" ”
When the matchmaker heard this, he shouted with a smile: "Congratulations to the Yuan family, congratulations to the Yuan family, Yuan Wenshao, the second son of your family, asks to marry the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and the Yan family answers: Yes." ”
This is also a formality, and few people say "no" at this point, because to do so is to make a feud, the kind where the two families will never die.
I saw Uncle Yuan tidy up his clothes and salute the gate: "Earl Zhongqin's Mansion, thank you for your permission!" ”
At this point, the courtesy was not counted, and the subordinates of the Yuan family began to carry things into the mansion, shouting loudly every time they entered.
"A pair of live birds and geese outside the Saiwai ceremony, and eighty-eight silk horses of Shuchuan ......"
Just when he was busy working here, Yuan Wenchun also found Gu Tingye and briefly said the purpose, wanting him to help throw a hard dowry.
But I didn't expect Second Uncle Gu to disagree at all, now it's different from the play, he often messes around in Goolan Washe, then I haven't heard of the name of "cold-faced Yama" Lord Yuan, if this helps this, isn't this a clear feud?
Yuan Wenchun can't help it now, he can't force others, fortunately, there are alternatives, but when he was about to implement it, he didn't wait for Sheng Changfeng, who was hard to force over there, to enter the set.
Uncle Yuan on the side noticed that something was wrong, and the small bet was harmless, but why did this block the dowry?
took the initiative to turn his head and said haha: "Brother Sheng, in my opinion, don't continue to play, let's go to the front to eat at the bar~"
"Okay, good, Brother Boquan is right, let's go to the front to have a drink!"
Before Sheng Hong left, he deliberately glared at his little bastard.
Just now, I was not paying attention, and chatted with my colleagues next to me a few more words, why did this stinky boy still gamble on his daughter's dowry, if he lost, wouldn't it be a joke for the Sheng family?
……
Just when the Sheng family was having a farce, at the same time in Bianjing City, Mrs. Yuan in the Earl's Mansion was looking happy at the moment.
"Mother Qi, I've been taking medicine for seven or eight days, and now I'm cured, right?"
"It should be no problem, big lady, you don't need to light so many braziers in the house at night in the future, and the quilt can also be reduced by a few beds, so that you won't sweat~"
Mama Qi is also full of smiles, because she has also suffered in the past few days, this is a sauna in the same room, it is really not a place for people to stay.
And Mrs. Yuan has been drinking Chinese medicine for the past two days, and she can't suppress the bitterness of sweet candied fruit, and she feels that she is about to lose her sense of taste.
When I heard it, I didn't have to pretend to be sick anymore, and I stammered when I spoke excitedly.
"Quick... Hurry, you hurry... Hurry up and ask the doctor to diagnose me~"
"Obey the order, the slave will do it!"
After the doctor came to diagnose it, Mrs. Yuan immediately sent someone to inform her second son, she was afraid that it would be too late, she didn't want to drink Chinese medicine at noon, and now she had a psychological shadow......
