Chapter 72 The scarlet dress
"Miss, I really don't know where the jade has gone..." Xiao Huan was young. She was scared for a moment when she thought that she was likely to sell herself to the kiln for Miss Jade, and couldn't help crying.
Seeing that the sky is about to light up, it is unlucky to pay attention to a good time when giving betrothal gifts. If you are wrong about that jade, you will definitely miss the auspicious time. Liu Shuihan glanced at Xiaohuan fiercely and said, "Miss Ben will not pursue this matter for the time being. Why don't you hurry to find a new dress!"
"I'm going..." Xiaohuan quickly wiped her tears and stood up to get clothes in the box. Chunxi saw that the matter was put aside for the time being, so she got up and walked to Shuixiu to continue to choose jewelry. It's almost time for Liu Shuihan to dress up.
Today is a good day for my daughter, and Li will naturally come forward. Li Shi, who had not seen her daughter in the front hall for a long time, quickly sent the maid to see what was going on. Before the maid came out of the front hall and looked up, she saw the young lady coming towards her.
"Madam, Miss is here." When the maid saw that the young lady was coming, she turned around and went into the front hall to report to her wife.
"Mother..." As soon as Liu Shuihan entered the room, he saw his mother looking at him with a smile. "Why did mother look at her daughter smile? Is it because her daughter is not dressed wrong?"
Li dotingly touched his daughter's tender little face and flashed bitterness at the corners of her originally smiling mouth. "My mother is happy. When Han'er was born more than ten years ago, your father fell down on the spot as soon as he saw a daughter. Fortunately, he thought that there was a son and Liu family had a successor, which calmed down..."
Liu Shuihan has been favored by his father since he was a child, but he didn't know that his mother still had such a pain. He immediately came forward and held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I think his father was also angry for a moment before he dropped a cup... Over the years, isn't his father also spoiling Han'er? If it hadn't been for Zhao Yuyan, how would my mother have suffered like this..."
As the saying goes, don't say that people are idle. As soon as Liu Shuihan mentioned Zhao Yuyan's name, the second lady took the maid into the front hall and said, "Han'er, today is the day when the seventh princes send the bride price to the house, the second mother will take care of it for you... Yo, isn't this sister? Isn't this sister?
Today, Li's clothes are dressed in hidden red, which are slightly deeper than red. Who would have thought that the second lady also wore red clothes? The only difference may be the pattern embroidered on the clothes.
There is a custom in the Mo Dynasty that a daughter must wear scarlet clothes when she marries her mother. Although tomorrow is the day to get married, Li ordered the maid to wash and dry the clothes early. Today, the seventh prince came to give the bride price and put it on.
"Han'er is my daughter. Today is the day when the prince gives the bride price. As a mother, I naturally want to come, but I don't know what you are doing here for?" Li looked at Zhao Yuyan with a cold face. The two were only three or four years apart, but they looked much older than her.
Zhao Yuyan naturally saw that the old lady was wearing the same clothes as herself, but she didn't feel anything wrong. Seeing that the eldest lady looked at herself coldly, Zhao Yuyan covered her mouth and smiled, "What my sister said, my sister naturally knows that my sister is Han'er's biological mother, but my sister is at least Han'er's second mother, the prince's bride price. Is it unreasonable for me to be the second mother?"
Li Shi hates Zhao Yuyan, not only for giving birth to a son for Liu, but also for taking away all her husband's love, forcing herself to stay in the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. That being said, I, a mother, have not passed away yet. Why should you wear this navy red dress?"
Whether it is ordinary people, dignitaries or even deep palace backyard, they are taboo to dress like the main room. Unless the main room dies or is abandoned, and the concubine is lifted to make the main room to wear those clothes.
Zhao Yuyan's face stiffened and then regained her smile. "My sister has been quietly worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall these days. My sister thought that her sister would wear this dress because she didn't come today. Bilian, why don't you remind me to change my clothes here? Do you mean to let me make a misunderstanding with my sister!"
Bilian is the maid beside Zhao Yuyan. Now it will be clear in Bilian's heart when she hears such words. I'm afraid that she wants to take herself as a scapegoat. The eldest lady is all the fault of the slave... The second lady told the maidservant that she had come before coming, saying that if the eldest lady was here, she would not come... However, when the maidservant went to the hut with abdominal pain and came out, she saw that the time was delayed, she hurried back to reply to the second lady... I didn't know if the eldest lady came or not, so she casually told the second lady about you. I didn't come to the front hall... It's all my maidservant's fault. Madam, please punish me."
The second lady has always been generous to her servants and can get two taels of silver at one time. Bilian is still very willing to suffer this.
Liu Shui smiled coldly and said, "Er Niang, don't mention that Han'er's mother has come over. Even if your mother didn't come, you are not qualified to count the bride price for me!" Maybe he knew that his mother's suffering in those years, Liu Shuihan hated Zhao Yuyan more and more.
Zhao Yuyan's face changed slightly, and her smiling face also became a little gloomy. "Is this how my sister taught Han'er? This is still spoiled by a master in Liu's house, and others dare not dare to say anything. In the future, the daughter who married to the Seven Kings Mansion is the water spilled out. Even if the master is the master of the dynasty, he can't interfere in the prince's family affairs... At that time, everyone in the whole city should know that the daughter of the Liu family does not know the etiquette and does not know the rules..."
"Yuyan!" An angry shout stopped Zhao Yuyan's words, and everyone looked back and it turned out to be Liu Hen. The prince should come in a while. Why don't you hurry up and stand at the door and shout something here!"
"Sir, according to the custom, today's prince came to give the bride price. Naturally, as a mother, I will wear navy red clothes, but Yuyan wears the same as me..." Li couldn't help saying that there was no hope of complaining.
"Yuyan, today is the prince's bride price for Han'er. Hui'er will help you go back to the house and rest." Liu Hen examined Zhao Yuyan's clothes and couldn't help frowning.
After listening to Liu Hen's words, Li Shi was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, the master did not help Zhao Yuyan this time. His originally cold heart gradually became warm. "Master, Yuyan is Han's second mother after all. Today, she has to count the bride price and write invitations. I'm afraid I can't do it alone. It's good for Yuyan to help. "
Zhao Yuyan snorted coldly, and her still tender and smooth face flashed with a trace of disdainful expression. "My concubine suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. I must have been caught by the cold last night. Now I have a headache that I don't think with my sister... Master and madam, my concubine retreated first." Zhao Yuyan pretended to be dizzy and leaned on Bilian and walked out of the front hall step by step.
Li wanted to be more generous in front of the master, but she didn't expect Zhao Yuyan not to buy it. Sir..."
"Ok, Yuyan won't go if she doesn't go. You can ask more maids to help her." Men are all happy with the new and hate the old. Moreover, Zhao Yuyan knows more about the amorous feelings than Li family. Although she is nearly 30 years old, she is still maintained like a 234 woman. Compared with the Li family, Liu Hen naturally loves Zhao Yuyan more.
"Dad! Zhao Yuyan was not careful at all..." Liu Shui was cold, but his father actually favored Zhao Yuyan, and he was sad to see his mother's forbearance.
Liu Hen has been a little annoyed these days. All the people he placed in the Seven Kings' Mansion have disappeared overnight, and the people sent out to investigate have also lost their traces one by one. Liu Hen is even more angry when he returns to the house and his wife's daughter makes trouble endlessly. Unbridled! She is your second mother. Can you call her name at will!"
Liu Shuihan has never seen his father so angry. Even if he forced him not to marry Qian Cai last time, he had never seen his father so angry. Liu Shuihan's eyes turned red after being scolded by his father, but he dared not reply.
"Look at the good daughter you taught! Yuyan said that she was spoiled by the old man in the house, and she didn't want to make trouble when she went to the Seven Kings Mansion in the future!" Liu Hen shook his sleeves and walked out of the front hall, leaving Liu Shuihan's mother and daughter looking at each other in con's face.
Liu's house was making trouble, but Lin's house was so calm that he couldn't calm down. Xiaoluo was forced to get up and dress up and sit crooked in the front hall. Shangguan Ya also wore navy red clothes today, and Lin Feng was dressed in a navy blue robe, which looked more calm.
"Ah... owe!" This is the eighteenth yawn of Xiao Luo, but Lord Laosh still didn't come. Parents, are you afraid it's time to arrive? It doesn't mean that the hour is auspicious time. Why hasn't the bride price of the seventh prince arrived yet?
Xiao Luo didn't care about the bride price, but now she was a little hungry and wondered if she could eat something first if the prince didn't come.
"Here comes..." As soon as Xiao Luo's voice fell, Dongyu's excited voice came from outside the front hall, "Madam, the seventh prince's bride price is coming!" Dongyu ran into the front hall happily, and his round face was full of excitement.
"Winter rain, come when it comes. Are you so happy?" In the nineteenth yawn, Xiao Luo stretched out and joked, "This marriage is due to Luo Er. If it's Sister Dongyu, she will faint excitedly."
Dongyu also knew that he was a little happy. After listening to the young lady's words, his face turned red and said strangely, "The young lady knows how to make fun of the maidservant... The reason why the maidservant is so happy is that there are dozens of carriages..." He was excited to think of the betrothal ceremony that can't seen at the end of the street.
Xiaoluo couldn't help pumping the corners of his mouth. What's the concept of dozens of cars? Parents, Luo Er thought that the prince should arrive in a moment. Should we go to the house to greet him? Infected by Dongyu's excitement, Xiao Luo was also looking forward to the scene of dozens of carriages with bride price.
"Customarily, the man can't go out to greet the woman, but Yu Che is not an outsider, so go out to pick him up." Lin Feng is a casual person. Even if he took his wife and daughter out of the front hall, he walked to the gate of Linfu.
