It's okay, it's okay, it's just a frequent visit, it's nothing.

With Zhang Xinyuan here, the main courtyard is more lively than before, a sister-in-law who loves to talk and laugh and makes her mother laugh, where to find it.

And Shen also feels that it is much more lively, she is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, and she will be able to live in a few years.

As soon as Shen was happy, he wanted to give his daughter and daughter-in-law good things, either jewelry, materials, or supplements.

So Zhang Xinyuan went more attentively.

Yan Mingqiao felt that she still understood the second sister-in-law's personality, the second sister-in-law was cool and generous, although she occasionally valued money, but after a long time, she would definitely be sincere.

In this way, even if she really gets married, her mother can rest assured.

Eat like this until the end of May, after the summer, Yan Mingqiao rarely goes out, Gu Mian too, she came to the Guogong Mansion once, and because it was too hot on the road, the carriage was like a steamer, and she never went out again after returning home.

At the beginning of June, it was hotter, but Gu Yanxin was much hotter than the weather, he took the sixth day off, changed his clothes in the morning, and went to the south river facing Zhuzhou's hometown.

The letter of appointment is also a marriage letter, and after getting married, you have to go to the government to keep it, and the household registration has to be changed, so that this family can really be counted.

Whether it is a prince or nobleman, or a common person, marriage is the same, if you don't go to the government, then the government will not recognize the family affairs, even if you have visited the church, the family affairs are not counted.

The wedding letter was sent, black on a red background, from right to left-

The marriage of two surnames is signed in one class. Good fate is forever, matching the same name.

Happy today's red rope tie, the beads are combined, the day of Bu Ta is white-headed to old, and the cinnamon is fragrant.

I would like to take the white-headed covenant, the book to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the wild goose spectrum.

Then there are the names of Gu Yan and Yan Mingqiao, and there are also the people who witnessed the marriage, the birthdays of both parties, and the names of their parents......

It's very thoughtful.

This is the marriage letter of the two.

The handwriting on it was extremely neat, and the pen was easy to write, Yan Mingqiao glanced at it several times, and then quietly asked Gu Yan, "Who wrote this marriage letter?" ”

Yan Mingqiao has seen Gu Yan's handwriting, this is obviously not, they all say that the marriage book was written by the groom's father, could it be that this is really written by Mrs. Gu?

Gu Yan said: "It's my father, what's wrong?" ”

Yan Mingqiao: "I heard that Mrs. Gu's calligraphy and painting are hard to find, so I wanted to ask if this was written by your father?" Really. ”

Gu Yan said: "This is true, but our marriage certificate can't ...... If you want to sell the money, I will ask my father to write you a copy again, what do you want to write, and copy the marriage book again? ”

Then you must not be able to write a marriage book, Yan Mingqiao opened her mouth, and saw Gu Yan looking at herself, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, she thought, the marriage book is not bad, so she changed her words, "Just the marriage book, I want to draw an embroidery pattern, and then embroider this, and then frame it again, what do you think?" ”

Gu Yan smiled and said, "I think it's very good." ”

Of course, you can see it every day when you hang it.

After sending the letter of appointment, the Chen family and his entourage stayed for a meal in the Yanguo Mansion. There are three days left, that is, the day when Nazheng holds a family banquet, when the Gu family sends the bride price, and then invites everyone from the Yanguo Mansion, as well as the relatives and friends of the two families to the Taifu Mansion to participate in the family banquet.

There is no need for Yan Mingqiao to do anything, but the Shen family must follow the hospitality, after all, the relatives of the Guogong Mansion came here because of the friendship in the Guogong Mansion, and she has to entertain them.

There are still fewer relatives in the Gu family, and when they came over today, the Chen family also asked who they invited and how many tables were appropriate. The Chen family had already set the menu, and she felt that there were many relatives in the Yanguo Mansion, so she prepared a hundred tables of meals first.

The Shen family counted the Guogong Mansion, and estimated that there would be sixty tables of guests, and the Gu family had fewer guests, only about thirty tables.

It's not much different from Chen's estimate.

The people invited are all Shengjing people, after all, the marriage is not better than the marriage, and the guests who live far away can only come if they are married.

The Shen family felt that it was good to settle the family matter, but they didn't have much expectations for the Gu family's bride price in their hearts, after all, the Gu family's family background was here, Gu Taifu was a Qing official, and the Chen family was born in a noble family, so it was naturally impossible to give a lot of silver to give the bride price.

As long as it's about the same, there's no need to compare yourself to others. If your daughter marries more, she will be able to wear red makeup when the time comes.

But on the ninth day of the new year, the Gu family came to give the bride price early in the morning, and the things on the gift book still surprised the Shen family.

She has also been in charge of the family for many years, and at such a rough glance, she can almost estimate how much silver there is.

Chen once said that Gu Yan did his own business, and he had a few hundred taels of silver in his account every month, and after a few years of business, he saved more than 20,000 taels of silver, and almost all of them were smashed into the bride price.

A Zhuangzi, a shop, a house, plus a lot of jewelry and furniture, add up to 20,000 taels of silver.

It is indeed nothing to the Yan Guo Mansion, but to the Gu family, it is really a lot.

The bride price is not the same as the dowry, even if the bride price is left by the mother's family, the man's family has nothing to say. Before the Gu family sent these, they must have thought that these bride price Yan Guo Mansion might stay.

But I still sent it over.

Shen now thinks that Gu Yan is really good, whether there is money or not is one thing, and it is another thing to treat Ming Qiao seriously or not.

Although she said that she would not keep this bride price, she would definitely bring it over when Ming Qiao got married, but this thing was very comfortable.

Gu Yan felt that the silver was kept and kept, and he was happy to give it to Ming Qiao, as for what to do with the Yanguo Mansion after giving it, it was the matter of the Yanguo Mansion.

Besides, he can make more money in the future, and it's not just this money.

And Gu Yan really felt that it was not easy for Aunt Shen to raise Ming Qiao so big. How much effort does it take to raise Ming Buckwheat so well, which will cheapen him, so how much dowry is not too much.

In fact, Gu Yan felt that these bride prices were not as good as the second sister of Ming Qiao, when Zhenbei Hou took half of the family property as a bride price, he couldn't compare, but he could do his best to give him a good feeling.

Let Mingqiao get married.

Also sent was the marriage letter written by Mrs. Gu, which was exactly the same as the one sent by Najib that day, anyway, Yan Mingqiao didn't use it for other purposes, it was the best.

Yan Mingqiao looked at it, and she would go to the Taifu Mansion for a banquet in a while, and then she would draw it when she came back, and then embroider it slowly and then frame it, as long as she embroidered it before she got married, she wanted to put it in that home.

Chapter 125: Recruitment

Yan Mingqiao still remembers that when the second sister was married, her mother, the second sister and brother-in-law received guests together, and she was just playing in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

Fishing and fishing, I played all over the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

This time it's her turn, although there are elders in front of everything, and my mother also said that she just needs to follow, call people when she sees them, laugh and laugh, and don't have to do anything else. He also said that everyone is here to congratulate him, and he will not be looking for trouble.

But...... It's definitely not the same as playing anything on the sidelines.

This was the first time for Yan Mingqiao, and she was a little nervous. But after thinking about it, the two are unmarried couples, and the tension has faded a little.

At noon, Mrs. Gu would come back, and before that, it was the Shen family and the Chen family who took the two of them to entertain the guests.

The Gu family gave the dowry gift early, and it was not so hot at this time, Shen cleaned up a little, looked at Yan Mingqiao dressed inappropriately, and thought it was good, so he took his daughter over.

Shen wore dark blue today, while Yan Mingqiao wore red.

Yan Mingqiao rarely wears red, it is quite bright to wear like this, red is mostly with gold jewelry and pearls, Yan Mingqiao is wearing the golden step shake given by Gu Yan on his head, and there are two small golden hairpins between the buns, and he is dressed more expensive than before.

Originally, I couldn't suppress such colors and jewelry at this age, but Yan Mingqiao also takes care of the business on weekdays, which is different from the delicate and quiet little lady who is raised in the boudoir, and this dress is really good-looking.

When she arrived at the Taifu Mansion, Shen looked at her and lowered her head slightly, and Gu Yan, who was dressed in jade clothes on the side, could be called a talented woman.

After Shen and Yan Mingqiao arrived, it didn't take long for guests to come.

There are a lot of people who come to congratulate her, most of the people Yan Mingqiao has never seen are relatives from the Gu family, she will shout whatever Gu Yan shouts, on the Yan family's side, there are relatives of the Yan family, there are people from the grandfather's side, there are also aunts and sisters who are married, as well as the mother's family of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, as well as the friends of the grandfather and father......

Yan Mingyu and Zhang Xinyuan came together, the two came early, exchanged a few words, saluted the woman, and went into the house to sit.

Yan Mingqiao also saw the second sister smiling at her.

Yan Mingyue also came early, and her husband came over by herself before she got off the job, "The fifth sister and Gu Gongzi are very compatible, and today is also a double happiness." Mother, Aunt Chen, I went in first. ”

Double happiness naturally pointed to Gu Yan in the entrance examination, and Chen smiled and asked the maid to lead people in.

Waiting for Yan Mingyue to go in, Chen said to Shen: "It's really enviable, you have so many good daughters." ”

The people of the Yanguo Mansion are prosperous, and they are also very good.

The Shen family is happy today, and what the Chen family said is also the truth, her daughters, including Ming Jing Mingyue, are all excellent.

There are not many relatives of the Gu family, but there are many of them, most of them are relatives of the clan and the Chen family.

Mrs. Anyang Hou came early, she is a matchmaker, these two have not been married for a day, she is a matchmaker for a day.

But today there is definitely no need for Mrs. Anyang Hou to entertain guests, not only that, but she is also a guest and is directly led in by the maid.

Mrs. Anyang Hou has also been to the Taifu Mansion several times, she found that today's Taifu Mansion is really lively, the mansion used to be big, but there are few people and masters, but people come and go and are full of friends, in this hot June, it is even more lively and extraordinary.

From morning to noon, more than an hour, the guests listened to the drama on the stage by the lake, the play was changed a few times, the tea was changed a few times, and at noon, Mrs. Gu and many officials came back together, and everyone sat down to go to the banquet.

Mrs. Gu had just come back from work, only took off her official hat and hurriedly changed into her official uniform, with sweat on her forehead.

But with a smile in his eyes, he looked really happy.

He raised his glass to everyone: "Thank you for participating in the marriage banquet between the dog and the five girls of the Yanguo Mansion, and prepare a little wine below, I hope you will eat and drink well, and hope that Haihan will be inconsiderate." ”

Many of the guests who came were still wearing official uniforms and had no time to change, although Gu Taifu had a high official position and was not easy to make deep friends with people in the court, but it was not impossible to have no friends.

Besides, there are many people who also want to come to celebrate, even if they don't receive the post, they can't kick people out by the way.

It's not good to have an accident on a big day, and Chen looked at Lin Shangshu and came over without taking the post.

But a meal should be regarded as a congratulatory service.

It's hot in June, and there is not such a big place in the house, so you can only eat under the shade of the trees by the lake, and the lake breeze blows, which is much cooler than other places.

But after all, it was June, and everyone's appetite was not good, so everyone drank more water and tea, and more than half of the meals were consumed.

Yan Mingqiao and Gu Yanzi couldn't eat, the two of them had to follow the elders to toast each table, and there was no one to stop the wine at the wedding banquet, and more than a hundred people at the table saluted like this, and their legs were weak.

Yan Mingqiao remembered that when the second sister was married, she only cared if the banquet was delicious or not, at that time she liked to eat the banquet the most, the dishes were delicious and delicious, on weekdays, where would she eat more than ten or twenty dishes at a meal.

At that time, she was still looking forward to which brother and sister would soon discuss marriage, in that case, the marriage would eat once, and the marriage could eat once, and one person could eat twice.

As a result, when it was his turn, he just stood up to toast people, and drank tea to his heart's content.

It's been a long time since the eldest sister got married, and Yan Mingqiao remembered that she didn't seem to go at the beginning.

The eldest brother, the second brother, the second sister to the fourth sister, there are five people in total, and she has eaten ten times, not counting the cousins and cousins of her grandfather's family.

Now it's very different, the sisters are having a feast, and they toast her.

Yan Mingqiao hasn't eaten a mouthful of food yet, she hasn't drunk anything, but her stomach is already half full, Gu Yan is drinking wine, how many tables are a glass of wine, Yan Mingqiao counted, Gu Yan has already drunk six glasses.

Yan Mingqiao took advantage of the time to walk the table, and quietly said to Gu Yan: "You drink less, don't get drunk." ”

Gu Yan was also very quiet, he said: "This wine is okay, I'm not drunk." Mingqiao, I'm happy to be married today, you just let me have a few drinks, and the toast is just like this once or twice. ”

He thought about it for a long time today, toasting table by table with Ming Qiao, meeting the elders of the Yanguo Mansion, meeting his elders, acquaintances, and friends.

The two of them met the relatives and friends of the two families together, and then told everyone that he and Ming Qiao were married.
