On November 23, the Su family's married daughter added makeup.
Today is a rare good day. The sun in the winter is warm and warm, and the Su family started to prepare the eldest girl's makeup early in the morning.
Young Jin is wearing a jade-colored peach-colored ru skirt today. The outer jacket is a double-embroidered begonia face with white rabbit lining. The makeup on her face is also peach blossom makeup. The whole person looks dignified and generous. Still charming.
"I have long heard that the eldest girl of the Su family is very talented, but seeing it today is better than seeing it once!" You Ling's future husband-in-law's old lady also rarely came out to walk around today. Walking around, the second is to get closer to the future relatives.
You Jin sat under Mrs. Cui's head, nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you Mrs. Cui for your praise."
Seeing her being so polite, Mrs. Cui nodded secretly in her heart, advancing and retreating appropriately, being generous and dignified. This old lady Cui also came from a scholarly family. At the beginning, she knew that her son and daughter-in-law had appointed a daughter-in-law from the countryside for her grandson. Although she had a plaque bestowed by the emperor, she still had some opinions in her heart. How good is it
But today I saw Su's family daughter, and I saw that she was much stronger than their granddaughter in terms of looks, personality, or the rules of advance and retreat. I also heard from the daughter-in-law that Su Jiawu was engaged to her grandson. The daughter was also taught by the daughter of Su's family. Although I haven't seen anyone yet, my prejudice is less.
It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were coming, and outside You Ling You Luo heard that a distinguished guest was coming, and came over to greet him very politely.
Old Madam Cui looked coldly at You Ling, who was standing in the hall and saluting, and with a critical eye, she wished she could see even a single strand of hair, trying to pick out some faults.
You Ling didn't know that it was the old lady of the Cui family who was sitting in the seat. After saluting, she stepped aside and sat there without saying a word. Bai Jing's face always had a proper smile on her face, but she had a strange feeling in her heart. The old lady kept staring at herself
Old Mrs. Cui had always been at odds with the daughter-in-law there, so she was naturally a little dissatisfied with the marriage she had decided on herself, but unfortunately, the major matters of marriage were the orders of her parents. Although she had opinions, she couldn't control one or two, so she could only decide in this future. The grandson-in-law finds some faults to fight with the daughter-in-law.
Besides, Mrs. Cui was also present today, but just now she was talking with other wives at the front, and she came to the flower hall just now.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and Youling has grown more and more." Mrs. Cui looked friendly and was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law she had appointed. She saw Youling when she entered the flower hall and talked to her with a smile.
You Ling stood up and greeted her: "Good day, Mrs. Cui." She had met Mrs. Cui and knew that she was the future mother-in-law. Although she was a little embarrassed, she greeted her with a blushing face.
It's not a matter of a year or two for Mrs. Cui to be at odds with her old mother-in-law. In order to make a face for her future daughter-in-law, she has to behave well in front of the noble ladies. Then she took You Ling to meet Mrs. Cui again and greeted her again.
Young Jin on the side can see the thoughts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it is obvious that Mrs. Cui likes You Ling, and it is Mrs. Cui who can make the decision of the Cui family. , not afraid.

The people who put on makeup today almost include most of the wives and girls from the upper circle of Luohe Prefecture. Many people originally despised people from a mud-legged family like the Su family, but today they really came to the Su family to find out. There are at least dozens of people who come in and out of the Su family, but every action is neat and extremely disciplined, which is better than many people who think they have some background. .
This reverence turned into five points when he saw the dowry of the Su family's daughter with his own eyes. How can any married daughter give such a generous dowry! Listening to the loud voice of the happy official who sang the dowry list, he was still singing: "There are three entrances and three exits in Yunhua Alley in Luohe Prefecture, and one each in three entrances and three exits in Qingyun Lane in Beijing..."
There are only two houses with three entrances and three exits, plus two Zhuangzi with four shops and two thousand acres of land in Luohe Prefecture and the capital, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin are all in the hundreds, and there are others. All kinds of furniture are made of precious woods such as huanghuali wood and rosewood. There are also 18,888 taels of dowry silver at the bottom of the press box, 28 servants to be dowry, and so on. The dowry, which is worth less than 50,000 to 60,000 taels, made the women present slapped their tongues, and the girls who came to join in the fun were even more envious.
In addition to the betrothal gifts from the Xiao family, the Su family did not keep any of them, and they were all included in the dowry of the eldest daughter. The value of the dowry was 145,000 or 50,000 taels. This dowry was put into the capital of the aristocratic family. People were dumbfounded.
The smile on Youjin's face remained unchanged, but her brows were slightly furrowed. Why did she prepare so many things
This is the dowry that Su shi and several daughters worked hard to prepare. Seeing that everyone who came to add makeup today was shocked, Su shi was also a little embarrassed: "The dowry is a little less, which makes you laugh. "Compared to the nearly 100,000 taels of the Xiao family's dowry, the dowry prepared by the family is a little insignificant, while Su Shi said, thinking about not preparing more for the eldest daughter.
After the makeup was done, the makeup was added, and the banquet was lively for most of the day.
"Ma'am, the makeup of each family has been registered and included in the eldest girl's dowry list." Aunt Song, who was in charge of the registry, replied, and now the whole family is wholeheartedly preparing for the eldest girl's marriage. The Su family was determined to make this marriage a decent affair.
Mr. Su put down the teacup and sighed: "Everyone has worked hard today. After the big girl's happy event is over, I will give the guy two days off to take a good rest." Mrs. Su is now also in charge of the housekeeper. She got better and better, and continued to use the management method of her daughter being lenient to the servants. The servants of the Su family only thought that the eldest girl was capable, and thought that the wife was soft-natured. They are also in charge.
Today, Mrs. Zhao, who is in the main family, also brought her daughter-in-law to add makeup. Lianhua’er listened to the dowry list sung by the Xiguan, and unknowingly twisted the sleeves and cuffs into a ball, and she felt more jealous of the Su family daughter. One heavy.
Since the incident happened the year before, Mrs. Zhao was even more dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. Today, when she saw her coming back from the Su family, her whole person was gloomy. Mrs. Zhao also whispered that she knew it with her own man: "I look at the lotus flower. She's really a big heart, I'm really afraid that she will hurt Xuan Hai after she does something, how can I do it?"
In the past two years, the life of the He family has also gotten better and better. Although it is different from the cloud and mud compared to the Su family, the family has a scholar who can save more than 300 taels of silver and buy 178 acres of fertile land. That is a rare wealthy household in Wuliqiao and even Shilibaxiang.
Although Zhao Shi knew that Lianhua'er was hostile to Youjin, she still didn't know why, and she always guarded against her, for fear that she would do something wrong and affect her family: "Look at the old five Chen family, who have evil intentions, and their family has already been destroyed. Now, Young Jin is going to marry the prince! If he offends the Su family, how can our Xuanhai's future be good?"
You must know that He Xuanhai is the only chance for their old He family to change their families, and the Zhao family will never allow Lianhua'er to drag down their son.
"Indeed, not to mention the Duke's side, the Wei family and the Xu family, which one can we afford to offend?" He Hao was smoking a dry cigarette on the kang, his dark face also wrinkled: "You can only work hard and keep an eye on it."
Now there are two or three helpers in the He family's small restaurant. No matter how He Hao is in charge, and the family's only granddaughter, Xiao Nini, has a poor body since childhood, and Lianhua'er herself does not get close to the children, Zhao's family is dedicated to taking care of the children at home. It is not difficult to keep a close eye on the lotus.
The couple talked for a while before they each rested. As for the Su family, they didn't know what the He family was thinking, but their eyes were full of eyes on the eldest girl's marriage three days later.

On the 25th, the fluttering snow fell for a day, and everyone in the Su family was very worried, for fear that tomorrow would delay the happy event of the eldest girl going out.
On November 26, it is appropriate to get married.
The wedding hour is the second quarter of Shen Shi in the afternoon, but before the hour, the genius is bright, and the Su family, which has been brightly lit all night, begins to be lively.
"Da Lin, you guys, hurry up and clean up the snow on the road, Chen Qing's family, you take a few people to shake off the snow on the red silk, and the wet ones should go to the warehouse to get the clean ones out. If you have the Yangtze, hurry up to the stove and ask someone to boil water to make tea, don’t delay!” Today, she was wearing a dark red silk padded jacket, and her neatly combed bun was wearing a gilt Aunt Song, a golden magpie with a hairpin and a red silk flower the size of two fingers, stood in the courtyard, and everyone was busy with each other.
"Today is a big day for the eldest girl. There are many charming guests in the house. You must be vigilant when entering and leaving, and don't offend the nobles." Aunt Song is now helping Su's housekeeping, diligent and never favoritism. Among the many servants in the family, he is still very authoritative.
All the servants in dark red clothes naturally knew the importance, and naturally they were tense, lowered their hands and restrained their faces, and said in unison: "Yes."
Besides, the second entrance in the East Cross Courtyard was still quiet, the gray sky covered the sun, the candles hadn't been lit in the quiet boudoir, and the girl with the quilt on the large carved bed had not woken up yet. Only the sound of shallow and even breathing could be heard through the gauze.
After a while, the two slender eyelashes that were curved just right slightly fluttered, and the girl slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
Lying on the bed, You Jin was still a little bit unable to open her eyes. She thought last night that she was going to get married today. People who had never been in a relationship in their two lifetimes became nervous for no reason, and then fell asleep until the early hours of the morning. Consciousness is not yet awake.
"Is the girl going to get up?" The autumn equinox, who was guarding outside, heard movement inside, and quietly opened the door and came in. Seeing that the eldest girl was still lying on the bed with her eyes half-open, she walked to the bed, bent her knees, opened the gauze, and asked softly. arrive.
Looking at the light outside, the girl who was a little confused asked, "What time is it?"
"It's three quarters of the hour, and Mrs. Quanfu has already arrived. The wife is greeting you in the flower hall. Do you want to rest for a while?" Although the light in the room is not clear, but the autumn equinox still sees the eldest girl's Wu Qing: "Today I'm afraid I want to until midnight."
Thinking of the wedding of Youbao and Youyin last time, the banquet didn't go away until midnight, so he nodded, and said, "I'll sleep for another half an hour, and you'll come back when it's time. calls me."
After speaking, he closed his eyes, thinking that he was the most laid-back bride ever, but fell asleep after a while.
Seeing that the eldest girl fell asleep on the autumn equinox, she put down the gauze tent gently, and then quietly went out, leaving a quiet room.
