After the news spread, Mrs. Wen came to the door the next day.
Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Chengyi were entertaining Mrs. Wen in the hall, and Mrs. Wen had a look of apology on her face.
"I know it's too hasty for Si Niang to get married before she can get married, and I've wronged her too much. It's just that the old lady said that she wants to see her grandchildren get married. I hope you can understand."
Uncle Chengyi smiled and said: "Mrs. Wen is serious, Si Niang will marry after all, and it's okay to get married early."
In fact, Uncle Chengyi couldn't contain his joy when Mrs. Wen asked Si Niang to marry early.
Wen's family held this grand wedding event, although it was intended to celebrate Mrs. Wen's happiness, but no one would mind.
Si Niang's status as a concubine was flawed, and he was too happy to be able to enter Wen's family as soon as possible.
In this way, the Bo family and the Wen family are in-laws on the chopping block.
"Uncle is right, Mrs. Wen, when is the wedding date?"
The apology on Mrs. Wen's face deepened.
"The wedding date is set within half a month, and the time is short. I'll ask Ting Zhou to come and hire me after tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhang was slightly taken aback: "In such a hurry, Si Niang may not have time to embroider her wedding dress."
The counterfeit will enter the palace in a month. She is preparing a dowry for the counterfeit these days. She never thought that Si Niang's marriage will be even sooner. Fortunately, the dowry of the girls in the uncle's house is usually prepared early.
Just a wedding dress...
"It's really rushed, you don't have to worry about the wedding dress, the embroiderers of the Wen family will rush to make it for Si Niang." Mrs. Wen has long been prepared.
There are five children and grandchildren of the right age in Wen's and Anguo's mansions, two in Wen Shangshu's mansion, and three in Anguo's mansion.
Mrs. Wen needed to prepare for the marriage of her son Tingzhou and the concubine, even if she was too busy to touch the ground, in order to show how much she valued Ruan Xi, she came to explain the situation in person.
Uncle Chengyi and Mrs. Zhang are more satisfied now, and of course they don't have any objections.
In case Mrs. Wen is gone, the children of the Wen family will keep their filial piety for three years, and there will be more changes at that time. Who will make Si Niang just a concubine of the uncle's mansion
Mrs. Wen's proposal was very much in line with Uncle Cheng's wishes.
So it was decided that Ruan Xi would get married within half a month.
As soon as Mrs. Wen left, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to Chengxin Garden to call Ruan Xi over.
Ruan Xi knew that Mrs. Wen was here, and combined with the news she heard, she made preparations in her heart.
In fact, it is better to marry early.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Ruan Xi bowed to Uncle Chengyi and Mrs. Zhang.
"My daughter greets her father and mother."
Uncle Chengyi looked at his slim, increasingly beautiful and dazzling daughter, and was overwhelmed with satisfaction.
"Si Niang, you must have heard some old Mrs. Wen's rumors recently. Mrs. Wen came to the door just now and asked you to marry Mr. Wen within half a month. My uncle and I agreed."
"I know that you have been wronged by getting married so hastily, but it's just what Mrs. Wen meant to keep things simple, so it's hard for us to refuse."
"My daughter understands that everything depends on the father and mother."
Ruan Xi nodded obediently. In fact, she didn't care much about these things. With the background of the Wen family, even if the wedding was hasty, the wedding would be grand and cumbersome.
Uncle Chengyi was very satisfied with Ruan Xi's attitude, and Zhang's expression was complicated.
"Don't worry, Si Niang, although the time is short, your dowry father has already been prepared, and the wedding dress has also been made by Wen's embroiderer." Uncle Chengyi said with a smile.
Ruan Xi pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head.
Uncle Chengyi laughed out loud when he saw this. In fact, he liked the transparent and intelligent Siniang more than the frivolous Sanniang.
Zhang's smile faded, and she couldn't help but think of her poor daughter.
In the afternoon, Wen's embroiderer came to measure Ruan Xi.
…
After it was confirmed that the Wen family would hold a grand wedding for their grandchildren within half a month, everyone discussed and wondered whether Mrs. Wen was really dying and needed to hold a happy event.
The emperor also personally asked about Mrs. Wen's condition.
Ruan Sanniang was in a very good mood when she thought that her fourth sister was about to marry into the Wen family in a hurry.
Not long after the news of the old emperor's illness came out in the last life, Mrs. Wen also suffered a serious illness, and the Wen family also held a large number of happy events.
It's just that Mr. Wen is not included here, he has no fiancée.
At that time, she deliberately pretended to be a highly skilled doctor with supernatural powers to heal the old emperor. After the name of the doctor came out, Mrs. Wen also treated her, but her supernatural powers could cure diseases, but they could not prolong life. Leave this world without illness or pain.
In this life, if the old emperor hadn't forced a confession, how could she have exposed her abilities.
Fortunately, she kept an eye on it.
In the future, you only need to treat the old emperor.
Without her supernatural help in this life, would Mrs. Wen survive until next spring
The so-called Chongxi is simply nonsense, it's nothing more than going to the doctor in a hurry.
Ruan Sanniang sneered in her heart, looking in the direction of Chengxinyuan with calculating eyes.
Why should she be ruined by the old emperor, but the fourth sister can marry the handsome and jade-like Mr. Wen.
However, the fourth sister's good marriage was given by her, and Ruan Sanniang regretted it so much that her intestines were green.
If Mrs. Wen died not long after they got married, and she sent someone to spread some rumors, it would be no wonder that the fourth sister could still have a good life.
…
Time was running out, and Ruan Xi didn't have the heart to pay attention to Ruan Sanniang. She was busy preparing for her marriage, and she even left the braised duck shop and the newly bought Zhuangzi.
Sincerity House is full of joy.
The next day, Wen Tingzhou rode a steed and brought loads of generous dowry gifts.
The wedding preparations were so hasty, Mrs. Wen said that Ruan Xi was the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Wen family and had to go through the six rituals at once.
There were at least dozens of guards carrying the dowry, and they marched to the Chengyi Mansion under the leadership of Wen Tingzhou.
The other four Wen family men who were about to get married also came to the door with dowries.
It is rare for the people in the capital to see such a big happy event, and people in the streets and alleys are talking about the betrothal gift.
Among them, Ruan Xi's dowry was the richest and most eye-catching.
Who told her that she would be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family's second wife.
The concierge didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly welcomed people in. Mrs. Zhang, as a sincere uncle, accepted the dowry in person. After seeing the thick dowry list, Zhang's eyes almost popped out, and she almost gave birth to the idea of taking it for herself. thought.
Needless to say, such a generous betrothal gift must be a dowry prepared for that girl, Si Niang.
The Wen family is really generous, and the dowry is staggering.
Silk and satin, gold, silver and jade wares, imperial rouge and gouache, precious medicinal materials, all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings... At least several warehouses must be piled up.
Mrs. Zhang gathered herself together, and in front of Wen Tingzhou, with a smile on her face, she sent someone to send the gift list to Chengxin Garden.
Ruan Sanniang was standing not far from Chengxin Garden, staring at one Wen family guard after another carrying the dowry into Chengxin Garden, her eyes were red with jealousy.
She can only enter the palace with a dowry, and of course there is no wedding.
In two lifetimes, no, it should be said that she never had a decent wedding in three lifetimes.
The fourth younger sister can get married in a splendid manner, even if it is only for a short time, Ruan Sanniang still envies and hates her.
The fourth sister's life is indeed better than hers.
At this time, Wen Tingzhou's tall and slender figure appeared not far away.
Needless to say, I must go to see Simei.
Ruan Sanniang's face contorted for a moment, she heard that a married woman must be married with a maid, and the fourth sister only has two maids, Suyu and Suzhu, so she asked her mother to pick a few beautiful maids to help her.
Thinking of this, Ruan Sanniang excitedly lifted the corner of her skirt and walked towards the main courtyard.
Chengxin Garden
Mama Yang and Suyu Suzhu methodically checked the gift list and put it into storage.
Ruan Xi was drinking tea and chatting with Wen Tingzhou in the room. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Wen Tingzhou looked a little thinner.
Ruan Xi was slightly distressed.
"Brother Tingzhou, how is the old lady doing now, are you okay?"
Wen Tingzhou took a sip of tea, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Grandmother is in good spirits now, and the stewed duck you sent is a great contribution."
Ruan Xi was surprised: "The braised duck I gave you?"
"Yeah, grandma couldn't eat anything after she was sick, except Ruan Ruan's stewed duck. Grandma's condition has improved slightly." Wen Tingzhou looked gentle, and he didn't expect Ruan Ruan's stewed duck to make people sick. Appetite effect.
It is indeed the prescription of the mysterious Taoist.
The imperial doctor said that grandmother's time is approaching, and she might be able to survive until the end of next month by hanging her life with precious medicinal materials.
Maybe it's not sure, maybe it will be ahead of schedule.
The grandmother was very calm when she heard the bad news, fearing that she would leave suddenly and delay Wen Jiaerlang's marriage, so she ordered the Wen family's children and grandchildren of the right age to get married within half a month.
Wen Tingzhou felt guilty for not giving Ruan Ruan a prosperous wedding.
Ruan Xi was surprised and delighted.
"As long as the old lady likes it, I will make more marinade and send it over. The marinade can be served with rice or vegetables. As long as the old lady can eat it, there will be a day of recovery."
Wen Tingzhou nodded in agreement, he thought so too.
"Thank you, Ruan Ruan. Besides the stewed duck, grandma will also read the Huayan Sutra you copied when she is energetic."
Because of this incident, Ruan Ruan gained a lot of goodwill from the rest of the Wen family.
Ruan Xi didn't know if Mrs. Wen paved the way for her specially, but she was very grateful anyway.
"Then I'll copy more scriptures."
Wen Tingzhou didn't refuse, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Ruan Xi's hair, feeling soft in his heart.
Ruan Ruan, who is so considerate, made him love him more and more.
Wen Tingzhou didn't stay in Chengxin Garden for long, and in ten days or so, Ruan Ruan would become his wife.
He can wait.
Wen Tingzhou couldn't help hugging Ruan Xi before leaving.
As the evening approached, Mama Sun, who was beside Mrs. Zhang, suddenly brought over two pretty maids with pink face and peach cheeks, affectionate eyes, plump figure, and soft-spoken voice.
Suyu Suzhu next to Ruan Xi looked annoyed.
They are not stupid, how can they fail to see that the two dowry maids sent by Madam are concubines for Mr. Wen.
Ruan Xi's expression was indifferent. Before she got married, Mrs. Zhang prepared a housemate for her husband, which made everyone feel at ease.
"Miss Si, these two are dowry maids specially selected by Madam for you." Mama Sun avoided Miss Si's eyes and said respectfully, after a pause, she deliberately added something.
"The madam also prepares two for Miss San."
"Since the third sister also has it, I'll accept it. Here's their deed of prostitution. Bring it here." Ruan Xi looked at Mama Sun with a smile.
Mother Sun quickly presented the deed of sale.
"Miss Si, Madam is also doing it for your own good. Miss Si will understand in the future."
Ruan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
so happy
