Bai Dalang rolled his eyes to look left and right, and saw that there was no one else around except them, so he coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's only natural to think about it, it's just the rules..."
Man Bao said: "This is not a rule that must be followed, otherwise why did you sit and eat together last night?"
"They didn't sit together, there was a screen in the middle, and there were male and female guests." Bai Dalang argued, "I can only see her hair."
Bai Shandao: "I'm just asking if you want to meet. It's just to meet, and it's not to make you do something rude. Moreover, it is said that it is not easy to meet before getting married, but that is also the eve of getting married. There is still a long way to go before you get married. time."
For example, he and Zhou Man, no one told them that unmarried couples can't meet each other. On the contrary, after getting engaged, they felt much more at ease. Even if they held hands in public, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.
Bai Dalang hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "But from the point of view of the Cheng family, the second lady has already been married off, but now because of my family, I chose another day to pay homage in the capital. At this moment, the second lady is getting married. , It’s not good for us to meet.”
Getting married and seeing off the relatives didn't just bring the dowry and bring the daughter along. At the beginning, Master Bai came to the door to ask for marriage instead of his son, and he ran three times in a row to give the family enough face, and then went to greet the relatives on behalf of his son.
Originally, the couple was separated from each other, and the bride could enter the door in Qili Village first, and then sent to the capital to give a simple salute to Bai Dalang.
But on the one hand, the Cheng family didn't want to wrong their daughter like this, and on the other hand, Master Bai didn't want to wrong their son like this.
After all, it is the first time to get married, and it is the eldest daughter-in-law. I would rather make some troubles than be too simple in some rituals.
So when Mr. Bai came to marry his son, the married couple put out the wedding wine, and Miss Cheng put on the wedding dress and was sent out of Mianzhou City.
That is to say, it was hot, and Second Miss Cheng changed her wedding dress halfway through, but she had been wearing red clothes for the past twelve days, and she had never changed to another color.
Now just wait for Master Bai to buy the house, and when the auspicious day comes, we can welcome the eldest daughter-in-law in.
If it is said that an unmarried couple is married with one foot, then Bai Dalang and Miss Cheng Er are now only a heel away.
The more this is the case, the more polite you have to be.
So Bai Dalang hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, rejected the temptation of Man Bao and Bai Shan, then carefully picked in the garden, stretched out his hand to pick out an excellent rose and handed it to Man Bao, " Give it to Second Miss for me."
Although it was a bit unexpected, Man Bao happily accepted it, and stopped pushing him to meet Second Miss Cheng.
Man Bao stuffed the book to Bai Shan and asked him to take it back, then took the flowers and went to the guest courtyard to find Second Miss Cheng.
As she walked, she felt that something was wrong, she glanced at the flower in her hand, and couldn't help asking Keke in her heart, "Is this flower mine?"
Keke said: "It belongs to the host."
Man Bao said: "Brother Bai is really stingy."
However, when handing the flowers to Second Miss Cheng, she still lowered her voice and whispered to her: "Brother Bai spent a long time picking out the flowers in the garden, and he specifically asked me to give the flowers to you."
Miss Cheng Er blushed, took it, found a vase in the room and put it in, and said softly, "Thank him for me."
Man Bao asked, "Thank him for what?"
Miss Cheng blushed even more, and it took a while before she said aloud, "Thank him for his thoughtfulness, just, just say that I like it very much."
Man Bao responded with a smile.
Mrs. Cheng just washed up. When she heard that Zhou Man was coming, she hurriedly combed her hair and came over, "Miss Man is here?"
It's just that she changed her name one night, but she seemed a little more intimate.
Miss Cheng Er didn't care that they were not yet familiar, so she hurriedly grabbed Man Bao's hand and prayed.
Man Bao then smiled and said to Mrs. Cheng: "I'm here to deliver a flower to Second Miss. It's finished now. My wife is busy. I'll go back to have breakfast first."
Mrs. Cheng quickly asked to stay, "Let's eat here."
Man Bao declined, and ran back to Bai Shan's pine and cypress courtyard. Sure enough, food was already set up in the main room, and Master Bai also sat at the table.
Seeing Man Bao, he smiled and waved, "It's just in time, come and have breakfast."
Man Bao stepped forward to sit down, Bai Shan handed her a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "I thought you were going to eat at your house."
Man Bao said: "My sister-in-law is tired, the breakfast today is made by my fourth sister-in-law."
Bai Shan and the others understood it.
Mr. Zhuang taught her a lesson every day, "You are too picky."
Man Bao grinned, and obediently admitted his mistake, and he probably would not repent next time.
Bai Shan changed the subject in a timely manner and said, "I put your book in the study."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang immediately said: "I will recite the text when I run out of breakfast."
Bai Erlang's back was slightly chilled, and he ate the porridge with his head down.
Bai Shan and Man Bao also tensed up, and responded weakly.
Bai Dalang glanced at Man Bao several times, and found that she hadn't received his hint, so he lowered his head in disappointment.
After Man Bao had breakfast, he and Bai Shan Bai Erlang went to study with Mr. Zhuang in the study, while Bai Dalang followed his father to attend to the wedding.
Although there are not many things that require him to be busy, such as wedding dresses and other guests, I have to ask his opinion.
Old Zhou Tou seldom slept well, and he didn't wake up until the sun was drying his buttocks.
Mrs. Qian got up early and smelled the smell of medicine, so she and Mrs. Qian went to the front following the smell of medicine, and saw Mrs. Lu and others were boiling the medicine.
She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Whose medicine is this for, your father?"
Lu quickly got up and said: "No, my sister said that father-in-law's medicine should be taken after meals, and father-in-law hasn't gotten up yet, so he hasn't started cooking it yet. This is a home-made ointment."
Mrs. Lu explained the origin of this ointment, and said: "Now this ointment is selling very well, especially this whitening ointment. Yesterday Li Jun gave Miss Cheng Er a small jar."
Qian Shi: ... She said, why was that child so mysterious yesterday? When he came out of Miss Cheng'er's room, he was so happy.
Mrs. Qian supported Xiao Qian's hand and sat on a small stool beside her and asked, "Are these medicinal materials expensive?"
"It's quite expensive." Lu's gestured: "Such a big jar of ointment, not counting the firewood and labor, is worth a tael of silver."
"Then how much do you sell?"
"A pot can be roughly divided into two porcelain pots, one pot is two taels of silver." Seeing Qian's frown, Mrs. Lu immediately explained: "Porcelain pots are also very expensive, and Li Jun has to engrave the word "Zhou" on it." , so the porcelain pots have to be made to order, because the glaze color is better, so a pot costs about 150 yuan, which is much more expensive than the dishes bought at home."
Isn’t it expensive? The tiles are used at home, and porcelain is used here.
Qian stared blankly at the three smoking stoves in the kitchen, and said after a while: "That's fine, you have things to do in the capital."
Lu shi heaved a sigh of relief, and said yes with a smile.
