【V100】Prepare to marry(1/2)
Yu Shaoqing was extremely depressed. He didn't even have enough pain for the daughter he raised, so he had to let another man take it away. What's even more heartbreaking is that his daughter was quite happy to be robbed...
Yu Shaoqing had trouble having an attack in front of outsiders. Finally, he was able to get Mrs. Yao and Uncle Wan. Du Hongniang left the house, and then went to the factory with a tight and shortness of breath to find her eldest brother.
The uncle was counting the betrothal gifts in front of the list on the tribute book. The Young Master's Mansion was really big, with a total of 162 loads. Not to mention the villagers were stunned, they were not afraid of making jokes with the servants in front of the Young Master's Mansion, but he knelt down on the spot.
How could he know that the Young Master’s Mansion had prepared 130 pounds of betrothal gifts, and Shangguan Yan quietly added 32 pounds. The combined amount was indeed amazing. You know, the most noble princess in this dynasty only carried 120 pounds when she got married.
My uncle took the two children to order for a whole day, but half of them were not finished. He was almost exhausted and he was almost exhausted. The two calves returned to his old house for dinner. He came to exchange for him later. There were so many betrothal gifts, and he was worried that there would be thieves who were thinking about them, so he had to let them stay day and night.
"Brother." Yu Shaoqing walked to a big box beside his uncle and sat down. There was only a chair in the room, and he was sitting there.
The uncle found that his younger brother was listless and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Yu Shaoqing didn't know how to tell his elder brother, it was quite embarrassing to talk about it. He was Awan's biological father, but Awan chose that brat between him and a brat.
"It's the wedding date, right?" the uncle guessed.
"Hmm." Yu Shaoqing responded vaguely.
大伯权当弟弟是舍不得闺女才如此垂头丧气,抬起累得酸痛的胳膊拍拍他肩膀道:“你想开点,女儿家终归是要嫁人的,阿婉嫁得不远,你想她了,就去看她,她想家了,也能回娘家,你看看这些聘礼,多得数都数不过来……你在军营怕是不知道,万公子……不对,燕少主对咱们家阿婉是真真儿上了心的……瞅瞅你回回把人家揍的,人家爹是王爷,够治你死罪的了!”
My uncle just said this, but he actually felt uncomfortable. Although Awan was not his biological daughter, he was his own daughter in his heart. How could he bear to marry Awan?
But isn't there any way to do this?
The uncle sighed, "I have asked the people from the Young Master's Mansion just now. Isn't it a little late? The people from the Young Master's Mansion said that good days are taken up for this month, and there will be no such a good auspicious day in the next half year. You can't let Awan wait for the first half of the year? Awan is not young anymore."
Yu Shaoqing's teeth are itchy, and there is no auspicious day for bullshit! It's just that the boy couldn't help but find a way to get his daughter back to the wolf's nest!
The uncle said earnestly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. When my brother and sister married you, they were younger than Awan. What did the family say?"
Thinking of his wife, Yu Shaoqing was silent.
After saying goodbye to his elder brother, Yu Shaoqing returned to his house.
The house is noisy today. Xiao Tiedan has not been studying and has been playing wildly with three small breasts. Now they all fall asleep. Yu Wan can't hold on to her sleepy hug her son and fall asleep. Jiang is awake, lying on the bed, poking Xiao Tiedan's face one after another.
"Ashu." Yu Shaoqing lay down beside Jiang, hugged her from behind, buried her head in between her neck and took a deep breath of her fragrance.
"Hmm?" Jiang replied in confusion.
Yu Shaoqing said: "After marrying for so many years... do you miss home? When I can leave the capital, I will accompany you to my parents' home."
Before Jiang could answer, he continued, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, so relatives from the side branch should have. Do you have anyone you want to meet?"
"No." Jiang said.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m saying that there are no relatives or people I don’t want to see.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law left early, and there were no sisters and brothers at his wife's house. Yu Shaoqing was worried that he would have caused his wife's sadness, so he didn't dare to ask again, so he hugged her tightly and said, "Then tell me when you want to go back and see it, and let's take the child with you."
No matter how you say it is your own homeland, even if your relatives are gone, you will want to go back for a walk in your lifetime, even if you just put a stick of incense on your parents and kowtow a few times.
"Yes." In the darkness, Jiang responded softly.
That night, Jiang did not treat Yu Shaoqing like this and that. Yu Shaoqing felt more and more that his wife missed her hometown and made up her mind that she would take her home to see her after she was relieved.
The wedding date of the 16th is less than seven days, which makes both sides suffer. Uncle Wan feels that he has several more white hairs. Shangguan Yan moved directly into the mansion. Yan Jiuchao wanted to say something, Uncle Wan was furious: "Do you still want to get married? Just shut up if you want to!"
Young Master Yan shut up obediently.
Uncle Wan, who was finally tough, went to decorate his mansion with great courage.
After the wedding, the residence was chosen in the Young Master's Mansion. Shangguan Yan actually proposed that the Xiao Mansion was. Compared to the Young Master's Mansion, which could not be lived for three or four days a year, it was obviously more suitable for preparing for the big wedding in all aspects. Without mentioning the people, the Xiao Mansion had a complicated business, and the servants were well-trained, and they cooperated perfectly in any room. The rough men of the Young Master's Mansion had no experience in making tables, which made them unpleasant.
"How can this work?" Uncle Wan smiled embarrassedly.
Shangguan Yan paused: "I was impulsive."
My son would not be willing to go to the Xiao Mansion. If he goes, he means admitting that he is Xiao Zhenting's stepson. In his son's heart, there is always only King Yan, the father.
Shangguan Yan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go and send more people to come. On the wedding day, the chef and the dishes must be arranged, and the servants who serve must be arranged properly. What else?"
There are so many things happening, Shangguan Yan's mind is confused.
Uncle Wan hurriedly took out a list from his arms: "Where is the old slave, I have recorded it."
"Look, there are some wedding receptions." Welcoming weddings is the top priority, including carriages, musicians, guards... My son doesn't like to watch them when he is young, and he doesn't know where to get so many people... I used to worry that his son wouldn't get married, but now she caught her off guard. Shangguan Yan held her forehead and said, "I'll go to the Yao family!"
Shangguan Yan found Mrs. Yao, and the two worked hard all day before they decided to meet the wedding.
But it was said that the young master's mansion was not only busy, but the Yu family was also very worried.
"Have you decided to marry me?" Bai Tang came to help me get the news. Although she had never been married, Bai Yulou had contracted wedding banquets for many wealthy families, so even if she had never eaten pork, she had seen the pig leave.
With so many betrothal gifts coming to the Young Master's Mansion, the woman naturally had to prepare some dowry. She returned part of the dowry and added another part of the house. The Yu family's business was just starting. If Yu Wan was more than enough to marry a gentry, the dowry would not be enough to be the mistress of the Young Master's Mansion. In the end, Yu Shaoqing gave Yu Wan the land deed on the mountain. Although it was not very valuable, at least it was the family's wish. They could not afford the farm and shops, so they could only give a barren mountain.
Since Yu Wan married into a wealthy family, she had to have her own room, but time was too late to prepare. There were many servants in Bai Tang's yard. However, the maids of the merchant family had never seen the world and were afraid that they would cause trouble for Yu Wan after going to the Young Master's Mansion, so Bai Tang did not force Yu Wan to do so.
"Do you have a wedding dress?" Bai Tang asked.
Yu Wan said without changing her face: "I have it."
I have already had it, but I just didn't dare to tell my family truthfully, saying that it was sent by Uncle Wan on the day he was hired.
"Where are the clothes after the wedding?" Bai Tang continued to ask.
Yu Wan was stopped.
Bai Tang said with a dark face: "You don't plan to wear the old common clothes after the wedding, are you? My aunt, you married Yan Jiuchao. From now on, you will be the wife of Yancheng and the daughter-in-law of the Great Zhou royal family. You can no longer wear the clothes of the country people!"
"There are still several new clothes at home that are not worn." Yu Wan said in a rare pain. She understood that Bai Tang was right. She should look like she had after the wedding. She didn't think about herself, and she had to earn some money for Yan Jiuchao. It was originally a joke to marry a country village girl. If this village girl could not be on the table again-
Yu Wan still felt that she couldn't be too embarrassed after thinking about it, so she went to the capital with Bai Tang after lunch.
Now that it is too late to customize, you can only buy ready-made clothes. Bai Tang took Yu Wan to Xiushui Street. The street is full of embroidery buildings and cloth shops, which makes people look at it.
Bai Tang took Yu Wan's hand and said, "Let's choose slowly, don't worry, you can go to my house when it gets dark, and we will continue to choose tomorrow."
Yu Wan nodded, "As her sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite, right?"
The two entered an embroidery building called Yunshuijian. This embroidery building is very large and has three floors. It is said that the boss’s wife is from Jiangnan and is very good at Su embroidery. Her embroidery pieces have been invited to the palace. Many noble ladies and daughters come here to be proud of having a piece of clothing that she embroidered with her own hands. Bai Tang did not ask them to buy her customization, but only wanted to pick a few suitable clothes.
"The embroiderers here are all taught step by step. The skills are better than those outside, look." Bai Tang said, pulling over a wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt hanging on the shelf. The gauze slowly closed, the hem of the skirt was light, the needle was fine, and the silver thread pierced on it seemed like there was really moonlight coming up. With a slight movement, the moonlight was flowing.
Bai Tang could already imagine how beautiful Yu Wan would look when she wore it: "Just this one, you can try it!"
Yu Wan changed into a wide-sleeved Yuexian skirt. The biggest feature of this skirt is that the waist is extremely tight. Anything that has a little fat on the waist will make it look bloated. However, Yu Wan's slender waist is full of slim waist and the wide-sleeved sleeves make her look tall and beautiful, as if she is not as beautiful as a fairy.
Bai Tang was stunned. He knew that this girl was beautiful, but he didn't expect that she could be as beautiful as such. The daughters of aristocratic families and the famous ladies were all pale in comparison at this moment. The whole embroidery building was quiet, and everyone's eyes were attracted by Yu Wan.
They have seen this dress, but they don’t think it can look so beautiful?
It is said that people rely on clothes, but sometimes one person can achieve a set of clothes.
Yu Wan was so beautiful that even the passers-by stopped.
Only one thought flashed through Bai Tang's mind: Buy and buy! Buy as much money as you want!
Just when Bai Tang was about to ask for the price, another girl came out wearing the same wide-sleeved moon fairy skirt. She was younger than Yu Wan, but she was not as tender as Yu Wan's face and her figure was not as slender as Yu Wan, but she was not considered bloated. If Yu Wan had no jade in front of her, her outfit was not amazing, but she could not be said to be ugly. But after seeing Yu Wan's whole body was full of fairy aura, she would be a little rusty when she looked at her again.
In the crowd, someone chuckled.
She was stunned at first, and then saw Yu Wan, who was dressed exactly like her, not far away, and her face instantly turned into a pig's liver.
The blind man also saw that Yu Wan was dressed better than hers.
She fell in love with this skirt half a month ago, but she was too fat and couldn't wear it at that time. Because of this, she had been hungry for more than ten days. She finally got to wear it, so she made other women compete!
The girl was so angry that she stepped forward and pointed at Yu Wan and said, "Who asked you to wear this dress?"
Yu Wan looked at her strangely, and then she found that she had chosen a dress that was the same style as her. Yu Wan didn't think she looked ugly, but her style was not good-looking.
Yu Wan asked, "Can't you wear it? Did you buy it?"
"I..." The girl choked, of course she didn't buy it, she said, "I tried it before you!"
Yu Wan clicked her skirt and said, "You tried this one on you, and I didn't pick it off from you."
That's right. She couldn't try a skirt, and then everything was her own, and the princess wasn't so domineering.
Seeing that Yu Wan had no jewelry on her head, she only wore a peach wood hairpin bought from a street stall. She was sure that Yu Wan was not the daughter of a wealthy family, so she became bullied: "I want it all! Take off this one on you!"
Bai Tang walked over angrily and glared at her, "If you say you want it, we will, so will we!"
The girl looked up and down at Bai Tang. Bai Tang was dressed quite decently, but it was a bit worth mentioning when compared with the girl.
The girl smiled sarcastically: "Can you afford it? You want it?"
Bai Tang said coldly Ruobingshuang: "Shopkeeper, how much does this skirt cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "Six hundred taels."
Bai Tang was shocked: "One, a torn skirt... six hundred taels?"
Even though she was so poor that she had only money left, she had never bought such expensive clothes, let alone the dress did not look like it was expensive.
"Do your clothes be inlaid with gold or gems? How could it be so expensive?" Bai Tang stamped his feet.
The girl sneered disdainfully: "You have never seen the world. The skirt she wore was made by Meng Niang, and it would be cheaper for you if you were six hundred taels."
Meng Niang is the boss lady of Yunshuijian. She only made one of Guangshui Yuexian skirts, and the rest were imitated by her apprentice. Although they were imitated very well, they could not sell for her price. The girl originally liked this one on Yu Wan, but she couldn't wear it in!
"Do you really want it?" Yu Wan asked the girl.
