Chapter 315 Dowry
"This is not true! How can an old woman be so blessed!" Mrs. Shen hurried down the kang to help Aunt Fan. Sister-in-law Wu came forward to help Mrs. Shen and smiled, "My mother-in-law can afford it! Can afford it! It's a blessing for our aunt to have an elder like you!"
"What Sister-in-law Wu said is that grandma can afford it. With an elder like you, it is the great blessing of me and the eldest brother, as well as Sister Fan. This is also Sister Fan's heart. Wherever she thinks it is good, she will live wherever she is elders." As Li Xiaoyao motioned to help Mrs. Fan, she looked at Mrs. Shen and smile. Mrs. Shen smiled and said cheerfully, "I don't be polite to the girl. There are many rules in the palace. The old lady is used to being loose, so let's follow the old lady to help her help her life, as long as the old lady doesn's drag down and talk! "
"I can't ask for it." Mrs. Fan finally followed up now. She was secretly relieved. She looked at her mother, took down the cup in front of Li Xiaoyao with a smile, and made new tea again. Li Xiaoyao stopped saying this. After gossiping with Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Shen for a while, she said goodbye.
Sister-in-law Wu and others sent Li Xiaoyao out of the door, and then went with Mrs. Fan and Mingwan. They insisted on sending Mrs. Shen back to her residence and waited for a rest. Looking at the little girl gently pounding her legs, Mrs. Shen seemed to be asleep and closed her eyes before she gently withdrew. Sister-in-law Wu pulled Mrs. Fan out of the yard and looked for a back The pavilion stood and pulled her and whispered, "Big girl, don't blame your sister-in-law for being talkative. Don't be stubborn in the future. Not to mention the Li family, it's this family, the Zhang family, the village outside the city, even the Wei family. Which place doesn't look at the Fifth Master? I said before you, at that time... Forget it, let's not mention this. Look, now that she has married into the royal palace of Liang, a crown princess. In the future, you don't respect her as an ancestor on that day. Don't be stupid. Look at Zhang Xingwang's family. If you miss one thing, you will be assigned. Don't think about it in your life. I'm back..."
Mrs. Fan listened to Mrs. Wu's chatter in her heart. Mrs. Wu tightened her cloak and continued: "The uncle is affectionate and righteous. This is your blessing, but uncle... is a man? How much can this affection be?" Mrs. Fan rushed to her eyes with sourness, and tears came out of her eyes. From sending her to the cold mountain, he didn't go to see her once, and didn't even bring a piece of paper or a word with her... Grandma Shen was still arranged by them, and it was convenient to say a few words... Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly patted Mrs. Fan and comforted her: "It's all over. ! Don't cry. It's freezing. Look at crying when I'm sick. Don't cry. Don't cry. You are also very blessed. I won't say more. You only remember that Mrs. Shen was the fifth master who put you to help you, and also looked at you. You have to respect her as your biological mother-in-law, which is more filial than your biological mother-in-law. , still respect, this should be followed, do you hear me? After these days, I can see that Mrs. Shen is a kind person. As long as you treat her well in your heart, she will definitely treat you well and speak for you. She speaks more usefully than anyone else. If you can go down the mountain smoothly this trip, it may be that she spoke for you. You should be filial to her. After a few years, she will be old and useless. You The children should also be in groups, and they have stabilized their steps. The fifth master's step is really for your behalf. You can understand it after thinking about it.
"Well," Mrs. Fan wiped her tears, looked at Sister-in-law Wu, slightly bent her knees and thanked, "My sister-in-law treated me sincerely. I used to be ignorant. Sister-in-law, don't look like me. I have written down my sister-in-law's words. From today on, I will treat my mother-in-law My sister-in-law is filial, and my sister-in-law can rest assured that there is anything I can't do in the future. My sister-in-law will give me more advice.
"That's good! That's all right!" Sister-in-law Wu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, pushed Mrs. Fan and said with a smile, "Go back quickly and have a rest, and I will go back."
"I'll send my sister-in-law back." Mrs. Fan helped Mrs. Wu and whispered. Seeing that her words were sincere, Mrs. Wu hesitated and did not refuse. She helped her to send her back to the main courtyard to rest.
In a blink of an eye, on the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Li's house in Liushu Hutong was decorated with lights, but there were not many people coming and going. The Li family did not disperse many posts on this marriage. Speaking of it, it was just that several close relatives gathered together and watched Li Zongliang and Mrs. Fan get married.
In the middle of the night, Liushu Hutong was full of lights and busy. The furniture made day and night was carried into Li's house at the last moment. Sister Zhang, Shuilian and others were among them. Mother Zhang, Mother Lu and others were at the gate, commanding everyone to put down the furniture, and the dowry was first to come out first, and then in the order of the back. The raised dowry rose from the shadow wall of the gate, squeezed and densely lined up all the way to the back garden.
The sky was slightly white. Li Xiaoyao stopped, ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and went out of the courtyard. At a glance, he was shocked to see the dowry full of dowry everywhere. How can he get these many things in such a month or two years?
M Mother Zhang's eyes were full of red silk, but she rushed forward and smiled and said, "This garden is full of the last soft and interior decoration. Everyone and all kinds of large ornaments are in the front yard. The girl looks, the pieces are excellent. It is also thanks to the Yuanfeng Hall, as well as Liangdi and Kaiping Mansion. Some merchants took out the treasures of the warehouse as soon as they heard that it was a girl who bought a dowry! The girl looked at this," Mama Zhang happily pointed to the dowry outside the pavilion: "Although this coral is only three feet high, it is extremely red and beautiful. I have looked carefully and found that it was really born like this, not sticky. The shopkeeper said that if the girl hadn't bought the dowry, this coral would have nothing No matter how you talk about it..."
Wisteria and Qingcheng followed Mother Zhang's guidance. Qingcheng clapped her hands and smiled, "M Mother! The job of putting some dowry into the warehouse must be sent to me tomorrow! I copied that book, and my hands are sore. Let me take a good look at what these good things I copied are like!" Li Xiaoyao exhaled and smiled gently and said, "I promise you on behalf of M Mother, so that you can take your time and enter the warehouse slowly!"
While looking at it, the group talked and laughed, turned a few corners and arrived at a room. MchuMchuzhang pointed to the room and smiled, "Let's go in and take a look at the dowry in this room. It was sent by Lu Tianshi's mansion in Xinyang. Just arrived the day before yesterday, the girl was busy and didn't care about it." He lowered his voice and then said, "After all, it is a century-old heavenly master. There is no such thing in the former palace."
The woman guarding the dowry in the wing has been welcomed out. Li Xiaoyao followed Mother Zhang into the wing. There were six dowry in the wing. Li Xiaoyao lifted the outermost red silk covered with the dowry. Under the big red silk was a pile of very neat pearls. Mother Zhang came forward. He picked up the top row of red gold round buckles and smiled and said, "Girl, this is a hanging pearl curtain. According to reason, such a soybean-sized pearl is not strange, but it is difficult to find tens of thousands of beads in this hanging curtain, all round, the same size and the same color. I don't know what line to use for this bead, and I can't see it half a step outside. It's the line."
Li Xiaoyao reached out and held the dense pearl curtain and didn't say anything. Qingcheng exclaimed and reached out to hold the pile of high pearls and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" Wisteria gently pulled her, and the two then turned to another dowry. Mother Zhang opened the two-foot-long red sandalwood box on it, separated by a layer of red silk, and carefully held the handle of the transparent, seemingly shining jasper sword and smiled: "The stewor who came to give the gift said that this jade sword was once the second generation of heavenly master. The sword has killed countless demons. It is a sacred object to avoid evil, and it is best to keep the town house. Li Xiaoyao looked carefully, motioned to put it back, and then looked at the rest of the things. Looking at Mother Zhang carefully covered with red silk, he whispered, "Don't open these lifts for a while. Just carry them over with red silk."
Mant Zhang hurriedly agreed with a smile and said, "That's what I mean. These things are too precious and rare, and we don't need to add face with this. Looking at the time, it's almost time. The girl is still in the hall when she walks here. It's a big deal for Fan Da/grandma to recognize her in the hall. No matter how hard it is, it's hard to wrong Fan Da/Grandma..."
Li Xiaoyao nodded with a smile, wrapped his cloak and went out of the room, bypassed the dowry everywhere, and entered through the back door of the main hall.
Shuilian and Sister Zhang have arrived a long time ago. They were standing at the gate of the main hall to watch Aunt Fan's worship. When they saw Li Xiaoyao come in, they hurriedly greeted with a smile and said some congratulatory words. Li Xiaoyao answered with a smile and turned her head to find Mrs. Shen. Sister Zhang smiled and said, "I'll be there in a minute. The noble son will pick it up." While talking, Li Zonggui helped Mrs. Shen turn in from behind. Sister Zhang hurried over and helped Mrs. Shen with a smile and asked, "I asked her to make a bowl of bird's nest for my mother-in-law in the morning. Have you eaten it?"
"Eat it, don't let people boil this next time. In fact, the white fungus is the same, no worse than bird's nest. Bird's nest is not something we can often eat." Mrs. Shen smiled and said politely. Sister Zhang and Li Zonggui held Mrs. Shen left and right and helped her to sit down on the right hand. Li Xiaoyao stood next to her and smiled, "Why can't grandma eat often? What does grandma want to eat?
"That's it!" Sister Zhang stroked her palm and smiled. Shuilian saluted Mrs. Shen respectfully with a gentle smile, and then sat down at Wei Shuisheng. At the door, Li Zongliang took the first half of the step. Mrs. Fan carefully followed and had already gone up the steps. Everyone in the room hurriedly sat down. Li Zongliang and Mrs. Fan went to Mrs. Shen first. Kneel down and salute. Mrs. Shen took a bronze skirt given by Mrs. Fan and put the red gold century-old lotus leaf bracelet in the tray.
