Chapter 300 Add Makeup
Li Xiaoyao didn't go to the half-mu garden for a day. The next morning, Li Zongliang and others entered Kaiping Mansion. Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng went straight to the second gate. The gate was extremely lively for a moment. Li Zongliang jumped off the horse and helped Mr. Fan down in the car behind him. Before Li Erhuai jumped off the horse, he began to look around. Li Xiaoyao While laughing, he said loudly, "Brother Erhuai, don't look for it. Sister Zhang and others are busy in Shuisheng Brother's new house."
Li Erhuai's face was tanned, and he couldn't see whether he was blushing or not. He threw the reins to the little man and arched his hand to Wei Shuisheng first: "Congratulations, second brother!" Turning around again, he reached out and pinched Li Xiaoyao's shoulder and said, "Why is Xiaoyao still so thin?" Li Xiaoyao quickly patted his hand: "Your hands are so heavy! Your shoulder is broken!" While talking, Li Zonggui jumped over to see Wei Shuisheng, squeezed over and looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled, "Xiaoyao looks okay."
Zhang Tiemu, Jiang Shuncai, Cheng Wang and Wei Shuisheng saw the salute, and bowed to Li Xiaoyao in the end. The gate was crowded together. Li Xiaoyao quickly let everyone in. In the past few days, Liushu Hutong and the new house did not stop when they came to send gifts. This group of people delayed for a while at the gate. At the beginning, you had to queue up to send a gift. Li Xiaoyao let the crowd, jumped down the steps, took a few steps, and helped Mr. Fan enter the gate with Li Zongliang.
The crowd sat down in the main hall and gathered around Wei Shuisheng's wedding the next day. They gossiped with the congratulatory gifts piled up in the yard for a while. Li Xiaoyao smiled and sent Li Erhuai, Zhang Tiemu and Jiang Shun to go back quickly. They would come to help early tomorrow morning and let people take Cheng Wang down to bathe and rest. Li Zongliang After drinking a cup of tea, he was also busy going back to bathe and wash. He rushed to the road day and night for a few days, all smelling sweaty.
Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng were drinking tea in the main hall and gossiping and waiting for everyone to bathe. After that, Mr. Fan changed into a light gray summer cloth gown and came out. Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng quickly went down the steps to pick him up and let him sit on the top. Mr. Fan looked much thinner and old, but his eyes were quiet as if there was no one. In the deep well and cold pool, Li Xiaoyao looked at Mr. Fan slightly stunned. Mr. Fan took the tea handed over by Wei Shuisheng and took a sip and said with a smile, "Xiaoyao doesn't need to clean up my house. I can stay with Runwen for a night or two. After finishing Runwen's happy event, I want to live and practice in Yanyun Temple outside the city."
"Why did you say that!" Wei Shuisheng was shocked. Mr. Fan put down his cup slowly and turned his head to look at the two people and smiled, "This is not the end of thinking about it for a year or two. Since I resigned and returned to my hometown, I have always had such an idea. In the past, I have been tripping over such and such things and not free, but now everything is all of them." Mr. Fan paused for a moment, sighed as if nothing had been, and then said, "That is, this winter and spring, if your eldest brother becomes a marriage again, I will be fine. Next spring, I want to go out for a walk to see the world's beautiful scenery, and meet the ancient temple monks for a while. This is what I have always wanted."
Li Xiaoyao looked at Mr. Fan silently and sadly, sighed and did not persuade him much. He only answered with a smile, "If you want to travel, just go all the way south along Huainan Road. You can go wherever you like. Wu Di will not be peaceful for a while."
"Well," Mr. Fan nodded and answered. Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment. Mr. Fan looked at her and said gently, "Each person is blessed. You and I don't have to worry too much." Li Xiaoyao's eyes were sour and nodded quickly.
On this day, people came and went, and everyone had no time to talk about the past. After lunch, Mr. Fan stayed at home to rest. Li Xiaoyao, Li Zongliang and others went to Wei Shuisheng's new house to busy with the wedding. Sister Zhang, Aunt Sun and Ming Wan had been busy for several days. Li Erhuai and others had bathed and changed their clothes and arrived, but they were busy. Let's watch the fun.
After this day was decided, the people got on the car and went back separately. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu took the maids and women to rest in Wei's house, ready to send makeup and pollen the next morning.
The next day, even if the wedding began, early in the morning, when Li Xiaoyao and Li Zongliang arrived at Wei's house, Mummy Zhang had sent the official media to send away the makeup box. As soon as the wisteria saw people making tea and brought it up, Lv Feng arrived. He turned around to watch the bustle and sat down and laughed with Li Zonggui. Returns such as clothes and clothes were delivered. The steward of the water house accompanied him. When he saw Li Xiaoyao, he smiled and reported that he had added a lot of makeup yesterday, and the seventh lady's dowry was raised a few more. He discussed to send the dowry as soon as possible. Li Xiaoyao naturally agreed.
Just after the afternoon, more than a dozen old and neat middle-aged servants came to see Li Xiaoyao. Mother Zhang smiled and led everyone to various places to prepare the dowry one by one.
After the servant, Shuilian's dowry began to carry it into Wei's house like running water. He carried the dowry. He was a young and strong young man with clean hair, wearing a big red and footless head, wearing big red black arrow sleeves and big red trousers. Li Xiaoyao was on the second floor of the teahouse at the entrance of the alley, lying on the window sill and looking down while looking down. And wisteria sighed: "••••• Look, how rare it is for these dowry-lifters to be neat!"
"I heard that it was the man who looked for the dowry for two people. The seventh lady's dowry was said to be 160 years ago. There have been a lot of people who added makeup these days, and now I don't know how many of them. The dowry only cost four or 500 people. The seven women's family's family are all included, and there are only more than 100 people. !" Wisteria answered with a smile. Li Xiaoyao nodded and continued to lie on the window sill to watch the bustle. The front dowry had entered the door of Wei's house, and the dowry behind it was connected into a strong festive red line. It meleeed out along the street and slowly flowed all the way, and the tail could not be seen at all.
Both sides of the street are full of men and women watching the scene, pointing to the raised dowry, guessing, marveling and envious that the shopkeepers and clerks of those stores no more do business, and all squeezed out to see this almost once-in-century-old rich dowry team.
There was a sound of 'dongdong' footsteps on the stairs of the teahouse. Cherry came in with a big red cover and a book-like book. She bent her knees with a smile on her face and reported: "Girl, this is the bride's dowry list. Mother Zhang asked me to send it to the girl." Wisteria quickly took it and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao didn't take the booklet. She just looked at the cherry and asked, "Why did you bring this book to me?" Mother Zhang and the others don't use it?"
"Girl, there are two copies in this book. M mother left a dowry, and this one was sent to the girl to have a look." Cherry replied with a hurry with a smile. Li Xiaoyao nodded and motioned to Wisteria: "Look, tell me if there is anything special." Wisteria motioned Cherry to go back. He looked through the book and smiled and said, "Let's not talk about clothes and jewelry, satin fur, antiques, and furniture. In addition to this, the Shui family accompanied eight families, a total of 42 people."
Li Xiaoyao poured a cup of tea and was about to drink, but he was shocked: "Aren't half of the servants of the Shui family coming with the Seventh Lady?" Wisteria smiled and nodded: "There are not half, but also 30%. Anyuan Houfu sent six guards of the courtyard, Jingjiang Houfu sent two women, two servants, and two maidservants who waited for pen and ink." Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and motioned wisteria to continue with a smile. Wisteria also squeezed her lips and whispered, "I heard that the second master of Shui came back and was made a lot of noise by the seventh lady."
"Should!" Li Xiaoyao smiled quickly. The two smiled for a while, and then Wisteria continued to say, "Zhuangzi is everywhere, two on the edge of Kaiping Mansion, one is in Ji County, not far from Pingfu, and one is in Yao County near Liangdi. The two farms on the edge of Kaiping Mansion, one is 200 mu, which is the dowry Zhuangzi deserves in her family, but she has two Hundreds of mu of land are excellent fields, with only 130 mu, half of orchards, which is the makeup added to her by Tongda/grandmother. There are more than 300 mu left by her grandmother in Ji County. The largest one in Yao County, more than 700 mu, is her mother's dowry. It was originally intended to be left to her brother, but her brother gave it to her. ."
Li Xiaoyao was a little stunned. While looking at the dowry team that was still flowing below, he continued to listen to the wisteria explain the dowry of Shuilian: "•••••• There are not many dowry yards, only two, a three-entry courtyard on Dazhi Street in the east of the city, and a small courtyard on Xuefeng Mountain outside the city, shop••••• ••A total of 12 rooms, two rooms were given to her by her by her father. Mrs. Anyuan Marquis added two rooms, Mrs. Jingjiang Marquis two rooms, and Tongda/grandmother's eldest brother-in-law added two rooms. The president of Yuanfeng Hall said that he had added three rooms for Yuanfeng Guild Hall and Liang Di'an's family added two rooms. Li Xiaoyao drank tea and nodded slowly. Wisteria turned up the book in his hand from the back and said, "The latter half is almost all the makeup added by each family. Even the queen asked someone to send a ruby head to add makeup to the seventh lady. There is no one or two points for anyone who can climb up in this Kaiping mansion. Princess Ning sent a pair of emerald bracelets, and several ladies of the Guo family also added a lot of valuable things•••••”
"There is no need to elaborate on these." Li Xiaoyao raised his hand to stop Wisteria: "You can quietly copy it back." Wisteria responded with a smile, collected the brochure, and squeezed together with Li Xiaoyao. As she looked down, she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the seventh lady is the most blessed. Although our second master is good at hand, where can we find our second master's talent and appearance? There are also a sister-in-law like a girl. I don't know how much this makeup is for the girl's face.
Li Xiaoyao stuffed the cup into Wisteria's hand and interrupted her words: "This is her blessing, the blessing of aquatic brother, and their own blessing." Wisteria took the cup with a smile, hung up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. She didn't talk much, but just looked at the rare bustle of the bustling market with Li Xiaoyao.
