Chapter 274 Farewell
Hao Lingzhu held Ding Page's hand with some unhappily. Although Ding Page had promised her that on the day she got married, she was bound to ask Hao Ling to send her to the capital to get married in person. However, she still hoped that Ding Page was also by her side.
"sister-in-law, you really can't go?" Hao Lingzhu asked with a little hope.
Ding Xiaozi smiled helplessly and said, "Lingzhu, it's not that I don't want to go, and your little nephew doesn't promise me where to go. I can't send you to get married with a big belly and then give birth halfway, right?"
Hao Lingzhu thought so. She understood the reason, but she just felt a little unwilling.
In the old lady's opinion, Hao Fu is at this time of double happiness. He will hold so many marriages at once. If the time is right, he can say a few more good words to Master Hao and let him release Hao Yu by the way. After all, how can Hao Yu be locked up in the yard for the lively wedding at home? It's like isolating him alone, which is really a little bad.
Of course, this matter is not in a hurry. Let's wait and talk about it.
Ding Page is just busy helping Hao Lingzhu prepare her dowry, buy new clothes, and no longer think about whether Gu Yun should enter the door or not. Anyway, she had already agreed with Hao Ling that Gu Yun's matter would be handled by himself.
If it's done well, of course, it's better to live well. If it's not done well, she won't agree!
In a blink of an eye, a month passed by. Hao Lingzhu's dowry was already ready, and 28 nanmu boxes in red and bright cloth were all put in the yard of Hao Lingzhu in the north courtyard.
Hao Lingzhu is married from afar. Uncle Hao in the capital should make her better at most, and will not prepare extra dowry for her. All this needs to be prepared by Haofu now. Zhuangzi shops and other things are in Taihe County. Even if it is divided with Hao Lingzhu, she can't take them away, so she simply converted them into other things.
Clothes and bedding, gold and silver jewelry, antique jade, eight treasures, all of which are ready. With this cleanup, 28 large boxes have been packed out.
Although the dowry is good, if the quality of the box is too poor, I'm afraid it will be laughed at. Hao Ling quickly used the relationship and immediately put out twenty-eight identical Nanmu boxes to hold the dowry for Hao Lingzhu.
At the beginning, all the inheritance left by Mrs. Hao was given to Hao Lingzhu, and Hao Ling also posted some by herself. Of course, Master Hao gave more.
He has only these children in total. Hao's huge family business is there. Hao Lingzhu can't occupy anything at all. When she gets married, she is also someone else's family. She always needs to prepare more for her. In the future, she can talk harder in her mother-in-law's house.
Aunt Shen and Hao Lingwei were also busy preparing some. When Aunt Shen and Hao Lingwei saw the red 28 big wooden boxes with their own eyes, both of them were shocked.
When Aunt Shen married into Hao's house, she only brought eight boxes of dowry. Now everything she has slowly been collected in Hao's house.
She was surrounded by her own people. Hao Lingwei gently touched her mother with her elbow and asked jealously and enviously, "Mom, look, Lingzhu can have so many dowry when she gets married. Then when I get married, there must be more than her, right?"
Aunt Shen took a breath and stared at Hao Lingwei, "Your mother and I don't have so much family business for you. If you want to complain, blame your second brother for being disappointing. I can't save so much dowry for you."
Hao Lingwei suddenly looked unhappy, "Mom, why can there be so many Lingzhu? I'm not as good as her? It's the same young lady in Haofu. It should be the same.
Aunt Shen sneered, "Is it the same? You have the nerve to say the same. Although your mother is called a lady on the surface, who really treats me as a wife in the bottom of his heart? I have worked for Haofu for half my life, and your father has never thought of supporting me. Do you think you are a legitimate daughter like Lingzhu? To put it hard, you are just a concubine's daughter.
Being sneered at by Aunt Shen, Hao Lingwei's embarrassed cheeks turned red, but she was not shy, but angry like this.
She stamped her feet unhung unh pleasedly and said, "Mom, how can anyone say that about himself? I said that you are the wife of Haofu, and you are the wife of Haofu! Who in Taihe County doesn't know that you are the wife of Haofu? Mother, I want my dowry to be the same as Lingzhu's. I'm a mother. She is a motherless person. Why is my dowry not as good as her?
"Because your second brother is not as promising as her eldest brother!"
Throwing down this sentence lightly, Aunt Shen turned around and left, leaving Hao Lingwei alone there to envy and hate.
However, it is said that Hao Fu here has prepared so many dowries for Hao Lingzhu. At this time, Gu Fu is also busy helping Gu Yun prepare the dowry.
The dowry is a symbol of the daughter's status in her mother-in-law's family in the future. If it is small, it is inevitable that she will be laughed at in the future. However, the old lady of Haofu was also the girl of their Gu family, and she will also have a backer in Haofu in the future. Don't worry too much that someone will blame her.
The temperature has already warmed up in March, the peach blossoms and pears are in full bloom, and the pedestrians on the road are getting thinner and thinner to welcome the upcoming summer.
Twenty-eight big boxes have been carried to the ship. Hao Lingzhu stood on the dock in her new clothes, holding Ding Yizi's hand hesitantly, and didn't want to let go.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Hao Lingzhu's mother died young, and she only took Ding Page as her sister-in-law as her best mother's family.
Ding Pagezi looked at her with a smile, "Lingzhu, in the future, you will be an adult. Don't cry like a child. It's a joke."
Hao Lingzhu said reluctantly, "Just joke. I'm going to get married. I don't know when I will see my sister-in-law again in the future. The days are so long. How can I be willing to do it?"
"An La La, it's okay. I can't wait for your brother to have time in the future, and it's convenient for me. I'll go to the capital with your brother to play and visit you by the way. It's not okay." Ding Shizi tried to comfort Hao Lingzhu's anxious heart to marry.
Seeing that her aunt and sister-in-law said endless words, Hao Ling hurried forward and said, "Lingzhu, the auspicious time has arrived. Get ready to get on the boat quickly. That's what your sister-in-law said. When it's convenient in the future, it's not too late to come back. It's impossible to see it in your life.
Hao Lingzhu had always been a little afraid of Hao Ling and did not dare to argue with her. She had to reluctantly let go of Ding's hand and walk back to the boat step by step.
Because Hao Lingzhu had a lot of dowries and accompanying people, she chose to go to the capital by water. Anyway, I'm not in time, and I can go to the capital leisurely.
When she came out of Hao's house just now, Hao Lingzhu had said goodbye to the old lady, so she didn't let her come to the dock to see her off.
Many people in Hao Mansion and onlookers were also crowded on the dock.
It was the first time I saw Hao Fu marrying his daughter, and he also prepared a lot of dowry, so that the people could not wait and see without curiosity. Many people have been curious about her for a long time when they see the face of Ding Page for the first time. Seeing that she was such an ordinary woman, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. I thought what kind of fairy the young master of the Hao family had married.
I only heard a woman in the crowd say, "Alas... It turns out that this young lady is nothing more than this. She is not as beautiful as my girl."
Another woman nodded, "Isn't it? However, I heard that the young master of Hao's family married this girl from the Ding family as his wife just to be happy. Now the young master is in good physical well and is about to marry a girl with a similar family background and appearance as his wife!"
"A flat wife?" A person next to him heard this and asked in constersation.
"No, when the ordinary wife enters the door, what kind of storm can this Ding girl make? I'm afraid I'll live in the cold courtyard in the future.
"That's not so much. At least the young lady is pregnant now. If she can get a man in one fell swoop and the mother and her son, she will not live a good life in the future."
"That's true. Unlike us, there is no hope in this life."
......
There are countless gossips, and it is inevitable that one or two sentences float into Ding Page's ears.
She frowned slightly and her face was a little ugly. She didn't expect that things had come out, but the old lady still pretended to be stupid in front of them, saying that there was no such thing at all. She just said that they were catching wind and shadows. It was really too boring.
The old lady said so. What else can she say?
It seems that the old lady wanted raw rice to cook cooked rice, so she directly let Hao Ling refuse?
Maybe it's time for her to think about her own countermeasures, otherwise it will be too late to think of another way.
I have been seeing Hao Lingzhu's boat disappearing in a distant place, and Ding Shizi went home with Hao Ling. Naturally, Hao Ling also heard the gossip she heard, but the two chose to be silent and did not mention this matter to each other.
It's enough to say some things once or twice. No matter how much you say, it will be boring. Ding Page understands this truth and doesn't want to be too entangled in this matter.
After Hao Ling sent Ding's page back, he went to the old lady's place again.
He looked solemn, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Old lady, there is nothing big to do in the house recently. Why is it necessary to prepare to hoard so many things in the kitchen now? Seeing that summer is coming, it is easy to break if things are left for a long time. Why don't you go out to buy what you want to eat in the future? Why stock it now?
The old lady said that she did not want to marry Gu Yun into the door, but there were many small actions in private.
At the beginning, it may be the contact between Hao Gu and the two families, but when the matter is settled, they are always busy preparing banquets and sending wedding invitations. The wedding invitation has not been issued at that time, otherwise it would be bad for the news to reach Hao Ling's ears, but some ingredients that should be prepared should be prepared.
Hao Fu's happy event is a big deal. How can some ordinary things be sent? It has to be searched all over the country early.
