Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The day before Yongyi Hou’s Xu family welcomed his bride,

It's time (after ten o'clock in the morning)

Jiying Lane

Xu Zaijing and his eldest brother Xu Zaiduan rode their horses to the gate of the Sheng family.

Behind them was a carriage, which contained exquisite bronze mirrors, boxes of rouge and gouache, gorgeous and expensive wedding clothes and other gifts.

The carriage was followed by six female ambassadors.

Changbai Changfeng, who had already received the news, stood at the door dressed in new clothes.

After the two Xu brothers dismounted, the sons of the Xu Sheng family bowed to each other and welcomed them in.

Wei Ruixuan

Rulan and Minglan ran into the yard with Magpie and Xiaoxiaotao. After arriving at the house where Hualan was, Rulan shouted:

"Sister! I saw it. Two cousins ​​from the Xu family came to give gifts."

"Uh-huh"

Minglan followed behind and nodded. After seeing Hua Lan's appearance, Minglan said, "Sister Hua Lan, did you apply rouge? Why are you so red?"

Hua Lan suppressed her shyness and pretended to be serious and said: "Xiao Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? Where are you so popular?"

"Sister, she is so shy."

"Sheng Rulan! Come here!"

"I don't!"

Cui Chan glanced at Hua Lan with a smile, walked over and said, "Fifth girl, you and Sixth girl go find Brother Bai quickly. When they go to Xu's house, you have to follow!"

"Hmm. Hahaha."

The two little girls ran out of the house happily. They had not yet been discharged from the hospital. Dan's mother from the Xu family, Xiaozhu and other female envoys from the Xu family, respectfully moved the makeup gift to the yard.

Wang Ruofu, wearing luxurious new clothes, looked at the things sent by the Xu family and nodded with satisfaction.

"The stuff is really good, Mother Liu, go get ready."

"Yes, madam."

Shouantang

lobby

Brothers Xu Zaiduan and Xu Zaijing were sitting on the chairs under the old lady's head.

"Brother Duan, is the child still obedient?"

Xu Zaiduan said with a smile: "Auntie, your great-nephew can eat and sleep."

"Hmm! He seems to be a spirited person!"

"He also likes to make trouble at night!"

"Hey, how can a child not be noisy!"

"That's what my aunt said!"

After Xu Zaiduan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu who was drinking tea at home. In his memory, this younger brother was not as noisy as his own son.

Sheng Hong, who had just recovered from the cold wind, also smiled.

His Shuang'er had recovered from the cold before, but after going to Linqige, Sheng Hong began to feel uncomfortable on the second day. However, the staff department was the busiest at this time, so Sheng Hong gritted his teeth and persisted for two days.

On the third day, he fainted in the official office, frightening his colleagues in the official department. Li Shangshu quickly gave him leave to go home and recuperate.

Sheng Hong still insisted on handling official duties even though he was ill, which allowed Sheng Hong to gain a good official reputation by accident.

Fortunately, Wang Ruofu was a capable person, and Sheng Hong didn't have to worry about anything about Hualan's marriage. Sheng Hong recovered from his illness two days ago and was able to sit in the Shou'an Hall to receive the two nephews of the Xu family.

After talking for a while, Cui's mother entered the main hall and said: "Old lady, the banquet is ready."

"Hong'er, please go with them."

"Yes, mother."

"Auntie, my brother and I will take our leave then."

"Go ahead."

At the table, Chang Bai and Chang Feng kept company. Sheng Hong originally wanted to accompany them, but was persuaded by Xu Zaijing to go back and rest.

After all, Sheng Hong is in good health and will take better care of himself. Tomorrow is the most important day.

The four people at the table all drank some wine. Chang Feng continued to fill up the wine, but Xu Zaiduan persuaded him to stop.

Caihuan at the door saw that everyone at the table had eaten and drank enough, so he asked the little envoy to inform the eldest lady of the Sheng family. The servants in the Sheng family yard loaded the Xu family's carriage with things again. Another carriage was added.

Xu Zai received the reply from the Xu family's female envoy and knew that the Sheng family had prepared the carriage and horses. He looked at the three people at the table and said, "In that case, let's set off."

At this time, Fang’s mother at the door came over and said:

"Da Lang, the old lady gave me an order. She said you should stop riding horses when you go back after drinking. This will save you from the cold wind."

"good!"

Then everyone left the Shou'an Hall,

Xu Zaijing and his brother rode in a carriage, and Changbai and Rulan rode in a carriage, pulling behind them some of the Sheng family's dowry and things for the house.

The motorcade arrived at Xu's house. At this time, Xu's house had signs of "囍" plastered everywhere, and red silk was not only tied around the waists of the female servants, but also hung everywhere in the yard.

Xu Zaiduan led Sheng, Zhang, and Bai brothers to Zai Zhang's yard.

The Changbai brothers and sisters came to the Xu family to build a house as close relatives, and it was Liu's mother who was in charge of the overall situation.

I saw Mother Liu instructing the maid of the Sheng family to hang the curtains in the new house, put the dowry utensils in place, put a few pieces of jewelry in the dowry, and spread the wedding quilt brought by the Sheng family on the bed. Happy mattress.

After the arrangements were made, Liu's mother came to Changbai Rulan and said a few words.

Then Changbai, as Hua Lan's closest relative, rolled around on the new bed several times while mumbling.

Rulan placed the gifts prepared by Wang on the table of the new house, which was the conservatory.

After everything was completed, everyone exited the new house. After closing the door, the female envoy of the Xu family and the female envoy of the Sheng family who had decided to come as a dowry stood at the door of the room. Before the arrival of the newlyweds tomorrow, except for the Xu Sheng family and outsiders, No entry allowed.

Afterwards, Changbai and Rulan went to Sun's courtyard and sat down to eat. Of course, they couldn't eat much;

Liu's mother and other female servants also entertained her with good wine and delicious food. The experienced female servants didn't even eat at the Sheng family at noon, just for this good meal.

When the food for the whole family was almost ready, the maids of the Xu family walked to the table holding trays. On the trays were purses containing wedding coins.

The mother in charge of the Xu family put them in everyone's hands one by one. Someone opened them and looked at them, and their eyes lit up.

"Wow!"

"many!"

"Thank you, Master, for your money!"

"Thank you, Master, for your money!"

The smiles of everyone at the table became brighter and the thanks continued.

Of course, Mother Liu and other housekeepers from the Sheng family and the personal maids only had a lot more wedding money in their pockets.

Application time (3 p.m.)

The Sheng family left Quyuan Street.

In the evening, Sun checked the guest list with Xu Minghua.

When the eldest son of the Xu family got married, the Xu family was far less prosperous than it is now, so there will naturally be many more guests coming tomorrow than there were then.

Fortunately, Sun's current situation is different from the past, and the couple did not complain that they could not sleep at night. After all, they were too tired.

Jiying Lane

Shengjia

Shouantang

The old lady sat on the bed in the bedroom, Hua Lan sat on the embroidered pier between the bed and the chair, and Wang Ruofu sat on the chair.

Listening to the old lady’s gentle instructions,

Hua Lan couldn't help but nod. The things the old lady packed at the bottom of the box for her would not be given to her now because they had already been placed in Hua Lan's dowry.

"Go and talk to your mother."

"Well, grandma, that granddaughter."

For some reason, Hua Lan suddenly felt her nose sore because tonight was her last day staying at the Sheng family.

"Well, don't cry, Hua'er."

The old lady waved her hand, Wang Ruofu also blinked with some emotion, and helped Hua Lan leave the Shou'an Hall.

After Hualan walked out of the room, the old lady smiled and sighed, took the handkerchief handed over by Fang's mother, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wang Ruofu and Hua Lan, mother and daughter, held their arms and were silent all the way.

When he came to Hua Lan's bedroom, Wang Ruofu wanted to say something, but suddenly he remembered that she had already said it once in the old lady's courtyard.

The two mothers were sitting beside the bed,

Wang Ruofu said: "If you are wronged in the Xu family, don't leave it alone. Our family is in Bianjing!"

"Mom, what grievance can my daughter have?"

"You can't say for sure. Your sister-in-law just gave birth to a son, and there are a lot of things going on between the sisters-in-law! There are also sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law." Wang Ruofu said seemingly very experienced.

"Okay, okay, mother, I will definitely come to you to talk to you if I have any grievances."

"Hmph! It's better not to have any."

"You also know that it would be better if you don't have it?"

"Go, go, go to bed early, me"

Wang Ruofu stood up from the bed and was about to leave when she suddenly paused.

For some reason, Wang Ruofu, who had not felt anything just now, felt a little hot in her eyes, but she did not look at Hua Lan, but waved her handkerchief and left the room.

Mother Liu quickly followed.

After squatting and bowing, Hua Lan watched Wang Ruofu leave the room and sighed softly. Cui Chan was about to come over to help Hua Lan remove the hairpin ring when the door suddenly opened again.

Wang Ruofu came to Hua Lan's room with a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"Ahem, Hua'er, Mother Liu wants to tell you something, you have to remember it carefully."

Hua Lan looked confused and bowed before saying:

"Yes, mother."

After Wang Ruofu and Caihuan at the door left, Liu's mother walked to Hua Lan kindly.

"Cui Chan, move an embroidery pier for Mother Liu."

After Liu's mother sat down, Hua Lan said:

"Mama Liu, please tell me"

Listening to Mother Liu's words, Hua Lan's face turned red visibly, and she almost felt hot. Then Hualan, like Cui Chan, twisted her clothes with her hands and listened to Mother Liu's words.

Then Mother Liu took out a picture album from her sleeve in front of Cui Chan and Hua Lan, then placed it on the bottom of the box. After closing the lid, Mother Liu also patted the box.

Seeing that Hua Lan and Cui Chan nodded without daring to look at them, Liu's mother smiled, bowed, said some festive words and left the room.

Hearing someone outside the door respectfully call out "Mama Liu", the master and servant knew someone was coming and quickly adjusted their status.

Soon, Xiaodie walked in holding a bundle.

"Miss, this is my congratulatory gift to you."

"Xiaodie, thank you for me."

"Yes, eldest lady, please leave."

After Xiaodie left the room, Cuichan opened the bag and found several dresses.

Cuichan put the dress on her arm and walked over and said: "Girl, this is available for all seasons."

Hua Lan looked at the dress, which was beautifully embroidered with orchids in rich but not bright colors.

"My dear, she has a heart."

The second day

Mrs. Quanfu had embarrassed Hua Lan early in the morning.

In the morning, the Xu family gave another makeup reminder gift.

subsequently

The Xu family's wedding team set off from Quyuan Street and headed towards Jiying Lane.

When I arrived at the door of Sheng’s house,

The eldest sons of Youyang's first and second rooms, as well as Kang Jin from the Kang family, blocked the door.

But on the Xu family side, it goes without saying that Wen You and Zai Zhang were friends with the Lu family, Lu Zhang, and Wu.

So soon the groom entered the Sheng family.

Hua Lan had also dressed up and came to the main hall accompanied by Mrs. Quanfu, Cui Chan and other female envoys.
