Chapter 160 Spring is sultry (2)

The spring is stirring on the branches of magpies. Soon, the happy event between Jiang Anyi and Dong'er was spread by the little magpies' stone.

Fan Qiao knocked on Dong'er's closed door, and the two women were talking about their confidant in the room. Then Fan Qiao began to help Dong'er dress up, tied her black hair high, and put on a silver hairpin; two cotton threads were twisted away the fluff on her face, and the originally jade-like face was thinly applied with rouge, like a red mutton fat jade; the diamond lips were dyed red, delicate and full of temptation.

"The girl is so beautiful. Mr. Jiang is so lucky to have a pretty girl like you." Fan Qiao exclaimed and pushed the mirror in front of Dong'er. Dong'er blushed and secretly glanced at herself in the mirror. Her face was as beautiful as a flower, her face was full of spring, as bright as peaches and plums, and she could not be seen in the square.

Fan Qiao asked Dong'er a few words in a low voice. Dong'er blushed and said, "The incident happened suddenly. I had nothing to prepare except the wedding dress." The wedding dress was embroidered early. When he followed Jiang Anyi to Beijing, Dong'er brought a box with him, and the box was a wedding dress he had embroidered himself.

"It is a big deal for a woman to get married at home. How can she be so hasty? I'll go to Mr. Jiang and can't let him be careless about the girl." Fan Qiao was kind-hearted and stood up anxiously while speaking.

The door opened, and two little heads appeared in front of the door. The two little heads of Shi Tou and Fan Zhichang were originally attached to the door and eavesdropped. Fan Qiao laughed and scolded, "Two little guys, why don't you go to read books and write quickly, be careful that your master will make a board."

Shi Tou and Fan Zhichang poked their heads into the house, grimaced at Sister Dong'er, and ran to the study. Fan Qiao shouted with concern from behind: "Slow down, be careful to hit it."

It was already the first time in Chen Shichu. Fan Shiben went to the Censorate Office early. The Ministry of Rites was very leisurely, and Jiang Anyi was not in a hurry and wrote a letter in the study. The letter to his mother had already been written, explaining Dong'er's affairs. My mother must be very happy. She had long been talking about holding her grandson, but now she finally followed her wish.

Another letter was written to Li Shicheng. He got along well with Brother Li in the academy. Now that good things have come true with Dong'er, Brother Li has become an uncle, and he is getting closer to his friends. Thinking that this uncle is about to take the provincial examination, Jiang Anyi couldn't help but worry. He was in the Ministry of Rites and naturally understood the chief examiner of the provincial examination. This year's main examination in Renzhou is the positive progress of Dali. Jiang Anyi wrote his understanding in detail in the letter. I believe that Li Shicheng would be happy after receiving the letter.

Shi Tou and Fan Zhichang ran in and sat honestly at the desk on the other side. Jiang Anyi was a little surprised and saw Fan Qiao stepping in. Jiang Anyi hurriedly got up and saluted: "I have met my sister-in-law."

Fan Qiao congratulated Jiang Anyi with a smile, then leaned his fingers and told Jiang Anyi one by one. Jiang Anyi had a headache when he heard it, took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them into Fan Qiao's hand, and smiled and said, "If my mother is not here, sister-in-law, you will be like a mother. What's the difference between my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law in the family can be the only one who can buy it. I'll have to go to the Ministry of Rites to get it."

Knowing that Jiang Anyi was rich, Fan Qiao did not refuse, and took the money and said, "I have already read the almanac. June 11th is a good day, so we will hold a banquet that day. I can buy the things you need for you, you have to write the invitations yourself, and don't buy less dowry for girls Dong'er, don't be wronged Miss Dong'er."

He grabbed Jiang Anyi and explained it to him, and waited for Jiang Anyi to record Fan Qiao before letting him go out. Along the way, Jiang Anyi shook his head and sighed that living a trivial matter at home is really troublesome.

The unexpected success of asking Doctor Liu's leave was probably the sequelae of the invitation from Eunuch Liu. When he learned that Jiang Anyi was going to take a concubine, Doctor Liu squeezed his stiff smile and said a few congratulations, telling Jiang Anyi not to miss the fifteenth day of the dynasty.

I went to Jinshizhai to exchange for a sapphire and got 6,000 taels of silver notes. Thinking of Fan Qiao's words, he wanted to buy jewelry from Dong'er, Jiang Anyi went directly to Chang Yixiang, the old brand next to him. Jiang Anyi once bought a set of gold jewelry to prepare for the magistrate of Chen County, and he had some understanding of this brand.

Back then, twenty-two taels of silver were mostly a possession. Now Jiang Anyi said that his family’s wealth was light and he would not consider spending money. Most of the things that were right were expensive. He bought 2,600 taels of silver and exchanged them for six exquisite jewelry boxes. After the address, the shop’s shop would deliver them to him directly.

I bought clothes and materials in the silk shop, ordered banquets in the restaurant, asked for fun and fun, bought wedding invitations and other things... I didn't stop all morning and didn't return home until noon.

The family has changed. First, there are four more people, two male servants and two maids. In Fan Qiao's words, there must be someone to serve the daily life. In addition, the whole family is cleaning, cleaning up dust, changing window paper, and sitting at the desk, Jiang Anyi feels much brighter. Third, he hired some servants to hang lights and decorate, cut clothes, and paste the window flowers of the word "Happy" everywhere, and the whole house becomes very happy.

Dong'er closed the door tightly and did not open it. Jiang Anyi found out from Fan Qiao that Dong'er was very satisfied with the jewelry he bought. He is now cutting the fabric and adding some wedding dress to himself.

Jiang Anyi has few relatives and friends in the capital. In addition to Fan Shiben's family, there are Yu Shiben's family and Zhang Yucheng's brother and sister. It is enough to have two tables of banquets. Jiang Anyi personally sent the invitation to Yu's mansion. Yu Zhijie wrote a couplet "Fish and water have been together for thousands of years, and the zhilan and orchid have been prosperous for a hundred generations" to congratulate him, and promised to bring the whole family to the door to congratulate him.
