Chapter 24: The Wedding
After the fifth aunt was buried, the third lady Zhang Mengfan was grounded, and all the maids and daughters-in-law around her were assigned to other places, plus she was only a concubine, I was afraid that before Zhang Chengxiang remembered her usefulness, she would not be able to get out of the room.
The cuiguo that Xia Zhi saved asked for grace and was pointed out to Shuyue Pavilion, Jiu Ge did not object, and he was about to go to the Dust King's Mansion, and there were many people in Shuyue Pavilion.
Waiting for the wedding dress customized by Tianjie to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Shi took the eldest lady to Shuyue Pavilion again, Jiu Ge was helpless, put down the practice, and made a table of dishes for the two of them to eat.
"The second sister's dishes are very good, they are all dishes that can't be eaten in the capital, and it's very good to open a restaurant. Zhang Mengke said while eating nonsense. This eldest lady was a quiet lady in a foreign language, but in front of Meng and Jiu Ge, she didn't care about these at all.
"Okay, I've saved some money from wild hunting over the years, so why don't my mother help me keep an eye on it and buy a real estate in the capital to operate. "Qiyun Mountain has wild hunting for basic training, and Jiu Ge found this excuse.
"Pay attention to it, my mother and your eldest sister have the same idea, so I want to give you a dowry in the restaurant in the West Market in my mother's dowry. Meng Shi is also eating a mouthful of oil at the moment, Jiu Ge is speechless, this family's wife and lady Xiu's rules since childhood, are not worth a meal.
"How can I go to my mother's real estate, you just keep it, and when I train two chefs, I will send them to you, and you should be a shareholder, and you will give me a share of the line." "Jiu Ge originally occupied Zhang Menggui's identity and maternal love, and if he took people's things again, he couldn't care about it, and when he went, he didn't really get married, and the world was far from satisfactory.
Meng Shi heard it in a fog, what kind of training is shared, but the general meaning is that the daughter does not want this real estate, but wants to leave it to the mother, this baby is intimate.
Thinking of this meaning, Meng Shi smiled at his aunt. "You child, the dowry must be given by the mother, you and your sister have one share, although it is not as much as what is given in the Zhang Mansion Treasury, but it is somewhat considerate. You, your mother is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are the lady in charge, and your life is better than your newly married lady, so don't say it anymore. ”
"Hehe, my mother has the final say. "Jiu Ge doesn't know much about these things, but it seems to be such a truth, if something happens to him, the dowry should be returned to them first, and he can't save the face of the Prime Minister at this time, let alone hurt Meng's will.
"My sister is really stupid to be outside, you are so honest, don't be bullied in the dust king's mansion in the future. Hey, thinking that when I see my sister in the future, I will have to kneel and bow, and I just, I think, it is worth eating more of the food you ordered now. Zhang Mengke's face was sad, but his mouth didn't stop.
Jiu Ge thought about it in his heart, this restaurant must be opened, it's not okay to keep the dead money, what will you eat and drink in the future?
After the meal, Jiu Ge made lemon tea as usual to relieve Meng Shi and the eldest sister, and the three of them chatted around the fire.
Meng Shi roasted the fire for a long time before he remembered what he was doing today.
"Hey, my memory, Mama Meng, bring the two children's wedding clothes and try them first, and then change them if they are not suitable. ”
Mama Meng took the order and brought two little girls in with two plates. Mama Meng told the two girls to stand on both sides, and then spread out their clothes to show Jiu Ge and the three of them.
They are all the same big red, all embroidered with gold thread with peonies, and the peonies are wrapped around the phoenix, which is brilliant and gorgeous.
"Try it first, Meng Gui is taller, wear this one. Meng Shi took a longer set and gave it to Jiu Ge, and Jiu Ge turned his hand to the summer solstice on the side. took another set from the maid's hand and gave Zhang Mengke's personal maid Bai Xue.
"Sister, let's go to my room and change it first. ”
"My sister will go first. Zhang Mengke lowered his head and blushed slightly.
"My sister got married first, so naturally my sister came first. Jiu Ge half-asked and half-pushed Mengke into the bedroom to change clothes.
Meng Shi pursed his lips and chuckled, these two children are older, whether they are old or not, they are about to leave when they are older.
Meng Shi thought for a while, and said to Cuiguo on the side: "You go and prepare pen and ink, and Cai Wei will go back to the Frost Moon Residence and bring the cinnabar." ”
When Jiu Ge heard it, this is the rhythm of painting, and smiled at Meng Shi: "Mother will still do this." ”
Meng Shi smiled helplessly, "I have been bored in this back house all these years, and now that you are old and are about to get married, my mother will draw a picture and leave a thought." ”
Saying that, Zhang Mengke also changed his clothes and came out, the warm yellow candlelight softened the bright red color a lot, Zhang Mengke's fair and gentle face, slightly red, long hair coiled up, and Meng's temperament was gentle and moving.
Jiu Ge holds his cheeks, this is not at all the same as the little gluttonous cat who just ate a mouth full of oil.
"Hey, my sister is really good-looking, and the famous ladies are just different. ”
Zhang Mengke covered her lips and smiled, and said: "Besides, it's all because of your good cooking skills, but I made me fat, and my belt was tied in a panic, and my sister didn't go to change it quickly, show it to my mother, and change it quickly." ”
Meng Shi also smiled, pulled Zhang Mengke to look left and right, up and down, and followed without looking back: "Yes, go quickly." Seeing Meng Shi's happy appearance, Jiu Ge was happy in his heart, and turned around and took Xia Zhi to the inner room to change clothes.
Meng Shi looked at Zhang Mengke's waist and felt distressed: "This waist doesn't have to be so tight, you have to wear it all day on the day of marriage, how can you stand it like this." ”
Zhang Mengke smiled, "I'm joking with my sister, it's good, it doesn't matter." Zhang Mengke looked at the wrinkled woman in front of her, more than 20 years of youth were buried in this back house, and she would be like her in the future, blooming and withering in this cage.
The mother and daughter are relatively speechless, and the sorrows of their lives are not something that can be explained and understood in a few words, and then they will be their own lives, their own grievances and blessings, they will always be in the same boat, but they will always be separated by two doors.
"Why don't you speak, are you in a hurry?" Jiu Ge came out of the back room, broke the silence, and walked straight to the two of them.
Meng took a step away and looked at her two daughters.
The same style of clothing, but two temperaments. The eldest daughter is gentle and virtuous, but the second daughter is flamboyant and beautiful, except for her height, there are only two pairs of eyes. Zhang Mengke's eyes inherited Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's pair of phoenix eyes, and Jiuge's pair of peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as Meng's, so he went to two extremes, one was gentle, one was flamboyant, one was dignified, and the other was chivalrous.
"Sit down. Mother will draw a portrait of you. Meng Shi was in tears, happy and reluctant, happy and helpless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiu Ge helped Zhang Mengke to stand against the railing, smiling without saying a word, waiting for Meng Shi to paint.
If you are really Zhang Menggui, if you really marry this time, marry the person you like, or just marry the matchmaker, it will be a stable life after marriage. And now, the road ahead is difficult, and what I am facing with my marriage is someone else's chess game.
Jiu Ge laughed at himself, his life is only a few decades, and he is just fighting for a movable word.
