Chapter 236 Before getting married

Mrs. Xu rarely smiled when facing Shen Gu's wife, so she quickly arranged for someone to clean up Chunshiyuan and prepare to marry my wife for my good grandson.

Didn’t it mean that my third sister-in-law is reluctant to leave her and she wants to stay Jiuer for two more years? Chen Peimei didn’t want to handle the marriage for Xu Lang at all. It was not what she wanted Xu Lang to marry?

Mrs. Xu was in a very good mood and turned a blind eye to Chen Meigu's depressed expression and said: I asked Master Fazong of Xiangguo Temple to combine the eight characters for Lang Ge'er and Jiuer to make a fortune. April 16 this year is the best day in the past five years. It is a good fortune. On this day, the couple is harmonious and the family is full of children. So, Jiuer's mother promised to let Jiuer marry.

Chen Gui didn't believe a word about this, but she couldn't find a reason to stop her. Her hand hanging beside her was tightly held in her sleeves, and she said in a disloyal way: Lang Ge'er's marriage is a happy event, and her daughter-in-law will find someone to clean up Chunshiyuan.

This is the drawing, please do it according to this. Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Meiwei took a deep breath and even the drawings were ready. How much did she look forward to Xu Lang getting married? But no matter how dissatisfied, Chen Meiwei had to take the drawings, opened them and frowned. If it was expanded according to the drawings, Chunshiyuan would be composed of one main courtyard, two cross-yards and one backyard, becoming the largest courtyard in the Xu family.

Mother, is this too much? Chen Gun asked in a deep voice.

What's too much? Lang Ge'er is the eldest son and grandson of the Xu family. He used to be unqualified and was willing to live in that small courtyard. I'll go with him. Now that he has married, he can't let his temperament come by, so he has to make Jiuer live comfortably. How can the marriage between Jiuer and Lang Ge'er be neglected by the emperor? Mrs. Xu is honest and authentic.

Chen Gui was speechless, so he endured his anger and bowed down, and arranged for people to expand Chunshiyuan. He complained about this in Xu Kui's arms at night. After Xu Kui said, "Who can change the things that his mother decided?" Just do what she wants, just like this."

Yes, it only took one left and right. How many times can the old woman protect that rebellious son at such an old age? Shen Gun was silent.

The 19th day of the first lunar month is the fifteenth birthday of Chen Dannian, but this day is also the death taboo of Mr. Shen. In order to avoid taboos, Tao chose to hold a wedding ceremony for Chen Dannian on the 28th day of the first lunar month. Chen Dannian was not engaged, so Tao invited Lin, and the officials were Chen Dannian. The praises found Chen Muke, a concubine daughter, Yundang.

Chen Dannian was about to go to the scene, but her marriage was not yet settled. Dong Qixiu was so anxious that morning, she took the initiative to pay tribute to Tao and talked about Chen Dannian's marriage indirectly. Tao said bluntly: Aunt Dong pay attention to your identity. The marriage between the fifth girl is the master and I, and it is not your turn to take care of it.

Tao drove Dong Qixiu out, and Dong Qixiu ran to ask Chen Muke. Chen Muke went to Tao to talk about this. Tao said calmly: Aunt Dong was so anxious. Although the fifth girl was not born from me, she also called me mother. How could I not consider her marriage? She never thought of keeping Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi at home and not getting married. When Chen Dan got married quickly, she immediately beat the two girls out to avoid staying at home and wasting rice and food.

Tao pulled open the drawer of the three-layer mahogany carved short cabinet beside the couch, took a booklet from it, and handed it to Chen Muke. I wanted to find out clearly and discuss it with the master. Since Aunt Dong is so anxious, the master will do it.

After saying that, Tao stood up and walked into the inner room. Chen Muke looked through the booklet. The candidates on it seemed to him were pretty good. This also shows that Tao really took Chen Dannian's marriage to heart, and it was not like Dong Qixiu said, and he didn't want Chen Dannian to get married. Chen Muke looked carefully and chose Yang Ping, the concubine's son of the Minister of Revenue, who was the head of his boss, Yang Ping.

Yang Ping failed the imperial examination last year, which was not as good as Qiao Zhijia. Dong Qixiu was not very satisfied, but he was the son of the Minister of Revenue. He was the same as Xu Lang married to Shen Danxia in his family. Dong Qixiu thought it was not bad, so he agreed.

The marriages of the three daughters of the Shen family of appropriate age were settled, and they were just ready to get the dowry prepared and they were married one by one.

At the end of January, Shen Bomi told Chen Danxia that Mr. Huang left Beijing yesterday.

He was really patient. Chen Danxia said with a lip.

Of course, those who accomplish great things must be patient. Shen Bomi sneered slightly sarcastically.

On February 19th, it was auspicious; in order to show her love for Chen Danxia, ​​the granddaughter-in-law, she insisted on hiring for 66,000 taels of silver despite Xu Kui's opposition. In this way, she still felt inadequate, and added a pair of white jade, a pair of jade, watermelon, a pair of red jade, pomegranate, a set of red gold ornaments, a pair of red gold inlaid coral bracelets and a branch of red gold inlaid green jade Buddha nine lotus ring hairpin inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid inlaid in

Looking at the long gift list, the heart of the Shen Gun was bleeding. Why should I use so many things to hire? Is this family emptying? This family is not just Xu Lang, the legitimate son, but the old woman is really too partial.

Mrs. Xu didn't care about Shen Meigu's mood at all. Not to mention that her dowry should be controlled by her Peng's family, Xu Lang, only her parent-child. Her dowry should belong to Xu Lang alone. Even if according to the Xu family's family rules, the eldest son could already be divided into 60% of the family property, while the other legitimate sons shared 30% of the family property, and the concubine's son shared the remaining family property.

Tao looked at the boxes of betrothal gifts sent in, and his face showed a happy mood. What she cared about was not the thing, but the sincerity of the Xu family for this marriage. The 66,000 taels of silver betrothal gift was also a big deal in the circle of noble power.

The Xu family only needs to provide the house and the furniture inside, which I will make people prepare. The Dow is proud and authentic.

The furniture was a problem for the in-laws. The official media said with a smile.

It should be. Dow smiled.

After the vernal equinox, the sky gradually warmed up. Chen Danxia took off her bloated winter clothes and changed into a beautiful and exquisite spring shirt. On that day, Chen Danxia changed into a newly made vermilion-colored squid-collared crocodile embroidered with light pink crabapple flowers. The lower body was a royal blue pleated skirt, and a circle of light pink crabapple flowers were embroidered on the hem of the skirt.

The new embroidery bride was invited by Zhenxiu Bushang, and her skills were really good. Chen Danxia spread his arms, turned around, and smiled happily.

Girl, the aunt is here. Mo Shu walked in and said.

Chen Danxia was slightly surprised, who is here?

The son-in-law is here. Mo Shu laughs.

Chen Danxia glared at her and said: Bad girl, don’t scream, please ask Brother Lang to sit in the hall.

Chen Danxia tied the forbidden steps and went to the hall to see Xu Lang, brother Lang. Is there anything wrong with coming here?

The yard is almost cleaned up, so I'm here to ask you what you want to set up your house? Xu Lang asked with a smile.

Tao had already sent her confidant woman to the Xu family to see what the new house of the Xu family looked like. Chen Danxia had long known it. It was okay to let the mothers and maids show it across the wing room and the yard. She hoped to come according to her own wishes. Before she could tell Xu Lang, Xu Lang came to tell her first. This should be considered a kind of understanding.

Chen Danxia smiled sweetly: The east room in the main room is a bedroom, build a fire kang next to the window in the east room, and use it as a warm pavilion. The west room is cleaned out to make a study. We can draw and play chess in it, and place a Arhat couch in the west room, and take a break. The east room is cleaned out to be a reception room, and greet close friends.

After hearing her say everything in detail, Xu Lang smiled and said: OK, I will let them do what you said when I go back. When it is done, I will take you to take a look.

My mother won’t let me go out now, so you can draw it into a picture and show it to me. Chen Danxia said with a pout.

OK. Xu Lang knew what Dow was worried about and did not force it.

Two days later, the girl who had acquainted with Chen Danxia came to the door in person or came to add makeup to Chen Danxia. On March 26, Chen Danxia was 16th birthday, Chen Danxia was chatting with Yuan Qingyin with Tao, Jinbao smiled and bowed and said: Madam, the Xu family has sent someone to give the girl a birthday gift.

Come in quickly. Tao hurriedly asked Zhaocai to invite the gift-giving person in. According to custom, after the ceremony of accepting the tribute, the girl was already from her husband's family. She valued the girl's family and would give her gifts. Tao had been waiting for the people from the Xu family to come early in the morning.

The one who came was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a pair of brown-yellow embroidered flowers, wearing a round bun, white and fat, looking very rich. The woman saluted Yuan Qingyin and Shen Danxia, ​​and her in-laws, Wanfu, and the old slave surnamed Yu, who served the old lady.

After receiving her tribute, Yuan Qingyin and Shen Danxia both turned sideways and returned half of the tribute. Tao smiled and said, "Madam Yu, please sit down."

Thank you, my wife. Madam Yu said with a smile.

Mrs. Xu loves the house and the Wu, so she will naturally not miss this opportunity to express her love to Chen Danxia.

Tao saw Madam Yu in his heart, and it was put to the point. Madam Yu presented a gift list with both hands. Madam Dou took it and took a quick look. It was decorated with rouge, silk and some gadgets, and it was very prepared.

The old lady was so polite. Tao smiled and thanked her. She took out the best red seal and gave it to Aunt Yu.

Chen Danxia also stood up to salute, asked the nanny to go back, and greeted the old lady on my behalf.

Madam Yu smiled and agreed.

After saying a few more polite words, Tao personally sent Mama Yu out.

Life was passing quickly. According to the discussion between the two families, on the eighth day of April, a car of things were pulled from the Shen family to the Xu family. The servant who was escorting them also explained to the people watching the fun that today is not a day to carry makeup, but a new house was to lay out.

Mrs. Xu was in charge of the new house despite her age, and watched the villagers move furniture of all sizes into the house and put them in. The next day, Mrs. Xu was persuaded by Xu Lang and did not come, but she asked Madam Yu to come and stare.

Chen Nei and Xu Wen did not intend to show up, but in the end they couldn't help it. Looking at the same color of rosewood furniture, Xu Wen's eyes turned red. Chen Nei knew that Tao was rich and generous, and was very charming, and was very fond of Chen Danxia. But she didn't expect that she would be so exaggerated. These furniture alone were worth tens of thousands of silver. With those dowry, Tao gave Chen Danxia no less than 66,000 taels of betrothal gifts.

I saw that Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu didn't make such a big deal when they got married. How could they get Chen Danxia? My third aunt was so willing to do it? Xu Wen was jealous of Chen Danxia's rich dowry. She knew very well that the family would never give her such a rich dowry. Chen Danxia is just the daughter of a third-rank official. Why is there more dowry than her, a second-rank official? She just wanted to get married, and completely forgot that she had not yet been engaged.

Who asked your grandmother to hire him for 66,000 taels of silver? Chen Gun said with a cold face. Giving the betrothal gift to the Shen family, and Tao then dowed them, it became Chen Danxia's private property. It would not be easy for her to get it out.

I wonder how much money my grandmother could take out when the fourth brother got married? Xu Wen asked.

The face of Shen Gun was a little darker again. There must be not so much. In the eyes of the old woman, there was only Xu Lang's evil deed.

The mother and daughter walked around in the new house that had not been named and were full of anger.

The day before her marriage, at night, Tao came over, holding a red painted wooden box in her hand, followed by the lucky ones holding red bean soup. Chen Danxia was just taking a shower, wearing a water-red bedding, and was scattered with a long waist. He tied a strand of his head with a white jade hairpin on his head, and his little face was faintly rosy, mom.

Guai Jiuer, come and drink this bowl of red bean soup. Tao took the sweet soup with him and handed it to Chen Danxia.

Chen Danxia took the bowl, stirred it gently with a spoon, pursed his lips and blew it, drank the sweet soup in one gulp, and put the porcelain bowl aside. She knew why Tao came, and called out softly, Mom.

Tao raised his hand and put her head hanging from her shoulders behind her ears. My mother's Jiuer grew up, and in a blink of an eye she went from cramming to getting married. As soon as she finished speaking, Tao's voice choked with tears in her eyes.

Chen Danxia looked up at her, and there were crystal tears on her thick eyelashes. She called out her mother again and threw herself into her arms. Tao stroked her back, Jiuer, her husband's family is not as good as her parents' family. After marrying, she will serve the old lady well and live with Lang Ge'er. Your aunt, if you make things difficult for you, don't argue with her, remember to find the old lady

Chen Danxia listened obediently. After Tao said these words, he waved his hand to let the maids retreat, opened the wooden box, took out a yellowed booklet from it, and handed it to Chen Danxia. Although Chen Danxia knew everything, he had to pretend to be innocent and didn't understand anything. Mom, what is this?

Jiuer, Lang Ge'er has no room around him. This wedding night, he will inevitably be a little bit unlucky. You, Tao, have a bumpy and bluff, explain the matter clearly, do you understand? Lang Ge'er touches you, don't be so arrogant, you are afraid of pain and push him away. Do you know?

I know, I just don’t push him away. Chen Danxia’s cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head and said.

Seeing her shy look, Tao was worried that she wouldn't listen. So he opened a few pages and said: Jiuer, this posture is more

Mom, I know, I know, stop talking. Chen Danxia is really embarrassed to tell his mother about the bed.

There is nothing shy about this. It will definitely hurt for the first time, so I will endure it. Tao closed the booklet, OK, I won’t say it anymore. You have to read this book carefully, so as not to understand nothing at the wedding night, and suffer, do you know?

I got it. Chen Danxia touched his hot face. Mom, it’s getting late, you go back to your room to go to bed.

Okay, mom won’t bother you anymore, you can watch yourself. Tao got up and went out.

Chen Danxia sent Tao out, turned around and took off his shoes and put them on the couch, lay on the soft pillow and flipped through the booklet. After reading it page by page, he took out the ten jade statues in the wooden box and twisted a small gourd, inside which was a pair of men and women entangled together. The carvings were very meticulous, and the demeanor on both sides were carved out.

Put down the small gourd and twist a fish-shaped body. There are still a pair of men and women entangled inside, but the posture is different from the previous one. The man kneels, the woman rides on him, his legs are basked on the left and right sides of the man, and his hands are wrapped around the man's neck. There are four characters carved at the tail of the fish, and the zither and zither are chanting together.

Chen Danxia was very interested in watching it. The ancients had no fewer tricks than modern people. After taking out all the jade statues, they put them in the wooden box with the booklet, and stayed with red faces, carried the wooden box into the bedroom, and put them in the box where she was playing the chess record.

Madam Fu walked in and said: Girl, I will get up early tomorrow, so you can go to bed quickly.

Chen Danxia went to bed now. Although she, the bride, didn't have to do anything tomorrow, was enough to wear a phoenix crown and a robe all day. Moreover, in order not to give up, she would not let her eat too much. It was really inhumane.

No matter how much I complain, Chen Danxia is still looking forward to tomorrow. She got married for the first time in her two lives and was such an outstanding man. Thank God for her kindness.

At the beginning of the Mao hour, Shiqin and Fuqin came in and woke Chen Danxia up. Girl, it's time to get up.

Chen Danxia washed up in a daze and sat down in front of the dressing table before he was a little more awake. At this time, Tao Yuan Qingyin, Yan Suxin, Chen Dannian, Shen Dannian and others all came and were all dressed up.

Third sister, today is so beautiful. Chen Danxun smiled and praised.

Chen Danxia smiled and said that when you get married, you will be so beautiful.

Then the upper-class woman came in and opened her face to Chen Danxia. Chen Danxia was afraid of pain, so she could bear this hardship, it hurts so much, what could she do to get rid of it?

After twelve twelve ways, Chen Danxia was completely awakened by the pain. The cold sweat from the pain was soaked in her middle clothes. Is this a marriage? This is a punishment!

While Shen Danxia was dressing up, Xu Lang was practicing sword in the practice room. He didn't sleep well last night. When he was half asleep, he was full of Chen Danxia's figure. She smiled sweetly and pouted with coquettish lips. Her soft cherry lips and her fleshy little hands made him feel excited.

After practicing sword, Xu Lang went back to his room to take a shower and put on a big red wedding robe. He went to the courtyard to meet Mrs. Xu. The elderly have a light sleep, and today is another good day for their good grandson. Mrs. Xu got up and waited at dawn.

Looking at Xu Lang who saluted respectfully, Mrs. Xu smiled kindly and tidied his collar and said: Go and take my good granddaughter-in-law back.

Yes. Xu Lang responded with a smile.
