Chapter 35: Hua Lan Gets Married!
In the past few months, Yuan Wenshao has successively disposed of Mama Feng in his mother's courtyard, as well as Mama Qian in his sister-in-law Zhang's courtyard, and now the subordinates in the house no longer dare to slack off.
Usually, as long as they stare at each other in the past, these people's hearts tremble, this can be regarded as achieving the goal, and after a few days, the lady Hualan will marry, and she should not be troubled by these people......
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the New Year, and there were holidays in ancient times, and the dynasty stipulated that the New Year would be put for seven days, but the more it came at this time, the busier the soldiers and horses of the five cities were.
Accidents can happen at other times, if there is any accident during the New Year, it will definitely involve a large number of people, so many people must be left on duty, and Yuan Wenshao's vacation will shrink.
"Childe, you're back, the lord and the eldest lady are waiting in the ancestral hall~"
"It's a cold day, it's hard work!"
On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yuan Wenshao braved the wind and snow to take the long man home with Rongbao, but he was tired in the past two days, and he originally planned to take a holiday, but who would have thought of an emergency.
The fifth-year-old second son of the Marquis of Weiyuan's family unfortunately got lost when he came out to play, which alarmed the officials in the palace.
This old man, who had just lost his son, felt very empathetic for this, and specially sent someone to issue an order to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and then the four products were all commanded to sit in person, and all the patrols were all on the streets, and they all turned over Bianjing City to find it.
Fortunately, in a dilapidated temple, the abducted child was found, if it was a step later, the child was probably transferred, in order to calm the anger of Wei Yuanhou, the arrested people were directly cut off without trial.
Yuan Wenshao didn't have time to change his clothes, so he directly wore the black official robe of the Terracotta Division and hurried to his ancestral hall.
"Father, I'm coming back late!"
"Well, the errand of the imperial court is important, I also heard about the Weiyuan Hou family, and I found it in the end!"
Yuan Wenchun next to him had always felt uncomfortable in his heart because of what happened before, so he directly picked the bones in the egg.
reprimanded: "Erlang, what's the matter with you, why didn't you go to bathe and change clothes for such a big thing as worshiping your ancestors?" ”
Yuan Wenshao was not used to his temper, so he replied directly: "Big brother, didn't you see that I just came back?" ”
"Besides, wearing official clothes to worship the ancestors also proves that our Yuan family is becoming more and more prosperous, and others don't want to wear it yet!"
"You..."
These words can be regarded as poking Yuan Wenchun's sore feet, because he has always wanted to enter the official position by the imperial examination, but he has worked hard and tortured for many years, but he has not even been admitted to the show.
It is estimated that in the end, if you want to be an official, you can only take the road of Menyin, because the only bit of favor in the family has been used by Yuan Erye.
"Smack, smack!" Seeing that this was about to start, the angry Uncle Yuan went up to the two sons and kicked them hard one by one.
"Okay, I don't care if I usually quarrel, how dare you do this in front of your ancestors?"
"Father is angry!"
In fact, Uncle Yuan still has a few concubines, but it is different from the Sheng family, because the eldest lady, Mrs. Yuan, is relatively strong, so even if it is the one who is born to a favorite concubine, her usual sense of existence is relatively low.
Only today to worship the ancestors, dare to come out to show up for activities, this saw that there was a quarrel here, all of them lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches.
Before the current dynasty, the son of this concubine generally did not participate in the patriarchal rights and interests of the family sacrifice, which is to maintain the distinction between the descendants and the concubine, as well as a strict attitude to maintain the patriarchal system.
However, the Taizu of this dynasty broke this fixed concept, which may be related to the fact that his old man is also a concubine in the family, and allows the concubine to participate in the patriarchal activities of the sacrifice together, in fact, this is the biggest rights and interests improvement.
After worshipping the ancestors, the family began to eat in Cheng'anju, of course, only the concubines, and the other concubines went back to their respective homes.
It's barely lively, because the night has to keep the New Year, after eating, a few people played the leaf card, and also played a small bet to play the pot.
Yuan Wenshao didn't think there was anything, he had a lot of fun, he even won a lot of money in this calculation, but the eldest brother Yuan Wenchun and his wife who were sitting opposite looked a little unhappy.
"Sister, the second brother is happy today, and all the money won is gone!"
"Wow, thank you second brother~"
Yuan Wenying, who was originally a little sleepy, was napping on the side, and when she heard this, she was very mentally embarrassed, and after her little hand took the money bag, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
Seeing this, Yuan Wenchun and his wife were even more angry, because a large part of this money was just lost by the two of them, whether it was playing leaf cards or throwing pots, there was almost no time to win.
……
After the New Year, Yuan Wenshao is 19 years old, and he may still be a young man in modern times, a big baby next to his parents, but it is rare to not get married at this age in this dynasty.
This is not Mrs. Yuan's intention, after all, he is also her own son, the reason is that the Yuan family has declined, and it is not easy to find a suitable candidate, which is not high or low.
Some of the real magnates in the capital don't look down on the Earl of Zhongqin Mansion at all, but Mrs. Yuan wants to marry her niece, and the Feng family is happy to do it.
But after Uncle Yuan found out, he gritted his teeth and resolutely disagreed, and even moved out of his late old mother, so the election was delayed until now, and now he is finally getting married.
After the incident in Yangzhou, Uncle Yuan personally sent people to keep an eye on it, and Mrs. Yuan also knew the importance of the matter, so she didn't make any trouble......
At the same time, the Yangzhou Sheng family is also preparing intensively, because the two families are relatively far away, and Sheng Hong, as a father, as an official of the imperial court, leaves his post without permission.
Therefore, only Sheng Changbai, the brother of the eldest brother, Sheng Wei, the uncle of the big house, and Changwu, the sister-in-law of the big house, came to see off the relatives.
Among them, Sheng Hong's careful thoughts, he felt that his in-laws were nobles in the capital, and he could also ask for some incense by letting his brother and son go, whether it was the future of his nephew in the army, or the big house in the business field.
And Sheng Wei is a human being, of course he understands his younger brother's thoughts, so he came all the way from Youyang to give him a marriage, and the money spent was not a small amount.
Originally, the uncle gave his niece a wedding, and at most he needed to give some gift money, but Sheng Wei reciprocated the favor, and gave Hualan not only gift money, but also a more generous dowry.
Sheng Hong and Sheng Wei, the two brothers, are the children of the big house and the second room respectively, and the relationship between the eldest master and the second master was not very good.
But in Sheng Hong's generation, because there are no brothers-in-law, they support each other more than those brothers.
Seeing that people had been carrying things home, he couldn't help but redden.
"Big brother, the family is ready, what are you doing here?"
"What's the matter, our Hua'er is married to the Earl's Mansion in the capital, the Sheng family can't let them look flat, the dowry is thick, and the child will be able to have enough confidence in the in-law's family in the future!"
Sheng Wei was very generous, at least doubling the dowry, it was not only family affection, but also part of it was a thank-you gift.
Because there are so many good things.
The new lake satin is four of various colors, three of the various colors of Shu brocade, the luster and color are extremely bright, two sets of four treasures of Huizhou's study, a pair of red gold silk agate bracelets, and a pair of silver leaf silk winding jade bracelets.
Two pairs of pearl hairpins and golden hairpins, a box of red and round coral beads and various colored glazed rice beads, five rings of various colors and new patterns, and the rest of the Zhuangzi fields are all over the place, and there are some girl's gadgets......
