Chapter 324: Dowry

Since Yuxi arrived at the Qin family and was a guest of the Xu family, the invitations have continued. However, Yuxi didn't accept it, and politely refused to prepare for marriage. She took the posts of the Qin family and the Zhao family, not because the two families were very powerful in Yucheng, but to find out the truth. As for the others, there is no need to rush to get to know them. After she marries Yunqing, she will definitely deal with them often.

Yuxi was doing embroidery work in the house, when she heard Pomegranate come over and say, "Girl, the second grandmother of the Zhao family has come to visit the girl." ”

Yuxi put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up and said, "Please ask Second Grandma Zhao to come in and sit." "The last time we met, Second Grandma Zhao made a very good impression on her. This time I took the initiative to come to the door, obviously the people intended to make friends. In that case, she is also happy to make more friends.

Second Grandma Zhao said with a smile: "Sister Han, I didn't bother you, right?"

Yuxi asked Zi Su to make a cup of flower tea, and said with a smile: "What is this said by the second grandmother, I don't know a lot of people here, and I don't know a few people." You can come and see me, it's too late for me to be happy!" You can just ask Zhao Er's grandmother some things, so as not to be blind.

Second Grandma Zhao saw that Yuxi's words were also sincere, and laughed: "What is the second grandmother called, it sounds unfamiliar, if you don't dislike it, we will be called sisters." ”

Yuxi was as good as a stream, and immediately called her sister. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Moreover, she really needs to break into Madame's circle by herself through Guò. There is a good saying, if there is a good wife in the family, there are few troubles, and a good wife is not only in charge of housework and raising children, but also has to work hard to broaden the social circle to find out the news.

Tu Shi said with a smile: "I have always regretted not having a sister before, and today I finally have no regrets." "Tu's maiden family only has an older brother and younger brother, and there are no sisters, but there are many cousins and cousins.

The two chatted like this for a morning, saying that they were talking, basically Yuxi was asking, and Tu was answering. Tu is a native of Xinpingcheng, and he has been married to Yucheng for several years, so he is also very familiar with this place. Therefore, I know more about the customs and customs of Ganzhou and Yucheng, and this is exactly what Yuxi lacks. Don't look at Han Jianye who has been in Yucheng for more than half a year, but if you ask him about these things, it's confusing. Therefore, it is impossible to count on Han Jianye.

A morning passed before I knew it. At noon, under Yuxi's best efforts, Tu stayed for lunch.

The lunch is not sumptuous, but it is not shabby either, six dishes and one soup. The six dishes are made by Mother Bai, and Mother Bai's cooking skills can only be said to be average, and there is no comparison with Aunt Guo. However, the pot of cordyceps chicken soup made Tu Shi admire: "Sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I drink a lot of chicken soup, but I haven't drunk such a delicious chicken soup!

Yuxi said with a smile: "This chicken soup is mainly selected with good ingredients, and it is not difficult to pay attention to the heat and time." ”

Zi Jin was a little speechless after listening to it, isn't it complicated? I won't talk about many precautions when choosing ingredients, and when I boiled the soup, it was a big fire, and the time had to be pinched. It's just such a pot of soup, I don't know how much work it took.

Tu Shi was taken aback when he heard this: "This chicken soup is made by my sister?"

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "I also learned to make a few soups with the cook at home, but it's not complicated." "Yuxi won't really cook, not because of her identity, but because she is very busy now, where can she have time to make soup. This pot of soup is just boiled according to Yuxi's instructions, and it is the white woman who really operates.

After going back, Tu said to Mrs. Zhao: "I used to hear that those ladies in the capital are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and everything, but also the female chef and the housekeeper are also good at everything. "In the past, she heard that the girls in the capital could do anything, and she despised it. Okay, today she met a strange thing.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Why did my daughter-in-law suddenly say this?"

Tu Shi said: "Mother, you don't know, that Han girl, not only can she write and paint, embroider exquisitely, cook properly inside and out, and her cooking skills are also first-class" At the moment, she told what she saw and heard in Yuxi, and said after speaking: "Really, after living for so many years, it is the first time I have seen a girl who is outstanding!"

The grandmother of the Zhao family asked with some disbelief, "Aren't you fooled?"

Tu shook his head and said, "Where is this person who can fool around." Besides, people don't have to fool me?" unless you're a fool, what else are you fooling her to do?

Mrs. Zhao said: "Miss Han studied with her husband at the age of four and studied for five years. There are also nurturing grandmothers from the palace who have been carefully taught for several years, and it is not surprising that they will know this. "Mrs. Zhao's maiden family also has officials in the capital, so she knows a lot.

Yuxi didn't know that everyone was talking about her, and she was bowing her head and doing embroidery seriously!

The sixth day of the sixth month of June is the day when the Yun family is hired.

Nowadays, there is a lot of attention to the dowry, even in the border cities where the people are more open. Yunqing didn't understand this, so he specially asked the wife of General Fu Jian, the deputy general of Yucheng, to help. When purchasing the bridal gift, Yunqing also told Mrs. Fu to buy more practical things.

On the day of the appointment, Han Jianye stayed to greet the guests. As for the female dependents, Yuxi greeted herself. Although she has a good relationship with Zhao's second grandmother, Yunqing is still a little shy about the previous affairs with the Zhao family.

In fact, it wasn't until later that Yuxi realized that she was thinking too much. Mrs. Zhao actually didn't agree to marry her daughter to Yunqing at all, because Yunqing's situation was too dangerous, and her daughter might be widowed at any time if she married. It's just that General Zhao insisted on marrying this family, and she had no choice but to try her best to enlighten her daughter. Later, the marriage did not work out, and it was too late for her to be happy!

The dowry of the Yun family is quite rich, two pairs of pure gold little golden calves, two pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelets, two pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix hairpins, as well as pure gold earrings, necklaces, gold locks, etc., the golden light is shining, and it will take people's eyes to see it. In addition, tea and wine, cakes, three livestock, fish, fruits, four-color sugar, silk and so on are also very complete. Among the dowry gifts, the most conspicuous is the pair of quarking geese.

Yuxi asked the geese to be sent to the house, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've seen a live wild goose!" When hired in the capital, geese or livestock are used instead, and geese are not really sent. Because this thing is hard to catch.

After looking at the dowry list, Yuxi nodded and said, "Not bad?" She still thought that Yunqing, like Han Jianye, would not be able to save money! Now it seems that there is still some success in terms of money.

In fact, Yuxi really thought wrong, these dowries were not saved by Yun Qing himself, but prepared by Old Man Yun. When Yun Qing came out of the capital that day, Old Man Yun took out all his family resources. The money has been kept by Huo Changqing, and this time it was Huo Changqing who took the money.

Zi Su looked at the dowry gift, with a look of disgust, and said: "In addition to gold or gold, and the craftsmanship is rough, how can such jewelry be worn? If this is in the capital, the girl will have to make people laugh to death!"

When Yuxi heard this, the smile on her face immediately disappeared, and she said expressionlessly: "You say that these dowries will make people laugh? What are the jokes? Joke Yunqing is a nouveau riche?" Zi Su occasionally complained that she didn't know that from the prosperous place in the capital to the barren place of the border city, it was normal to start not adapting, and it would take too much time. She could give Zisu time to adapt, but she couldn't tolerate Zisu's disdain for Yunqing.

Zi Su's heart jumped, and she lowered her head and said, "Girl, I was wrong. ”

Yuxi said coldly: "Just this once, if there is a next time, don't blame me for not being merciful." "Shisu is loyal to her, but if she doesn't act properly, she can't stay.

Shiso's face turned white.

After Zisu waited for Yuxi to return to the house, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yunqing is the girl's future husband, and the girl is naturally angry when you say this." Shisu said these words in a disdainful tone, and it was strange that the girl was not angry.

Zi Su wiped her tears and said, "I know too, but I just feel that the girl is wronged." "The food and clothing here are not as good as the mother's housekeeper.

Zi Jin also opened her mouth to persuade because of her love with Zi Su for so many years, otherwise she wouldn't talk nonsense: "Sister Zi Su, you have to remember your identity, you are the girl's maid, not the girl's sister." It's your duty to serve the girl well, and the rest is not for you and me to worry about. In fact, she also felt that it was a pity for the girl to marry Yunqing, but what could she do?

When Shisu heard this, he froze in place.

Zi Jin looked at Zi Su and said, "Sister Zi Su, think about it!" If she still can't figure it out, the girl will definitely not keep her anymore. Actually, this is not what Zi Jin wants to see.

In the afternoon, Han Jianli handed Yuxi a piece of jade pendant, well, Han Jianye said, "This is what Yunqing asked me to give you." ”

Yuxi took it and took a look, and the style of the jade pendant knew that there should be a pair. Well, this jade pendant should be regarded as a token of kinship.

Everyone has sent a token of marriage, so I have to show it anyway. Yuxi took out one of the clothes she had made for Yunqing and said, "You can send this to him tomorrow!" The clothes are made of muslin, and this kind of clothing has the advantage of absorbing sweat and breathing wind.

Han Jianye deliberately quipped: "Yuxi, only for Yunqing, what about the second brother?" Seeing that Yuxi did not reject this marriage, he was also very happy.

Yuxi glanced at Han Jianye: "If you don't want to send it, I'll let Han Ji send it." ”

Han Jianye said happily: "Why don't you send it?" I'll send it now, so that Yunqing will be so happy that he can't find the north." ”

To Han Jianye's disappointment, Yunqing didn't look very happy when he looked at his clothes, but didn't say anything. After so many years, I still want someone to make clothes for him for the first time! I can't describe the feeling, this taste.

Seeing this, Han Jianye patted Yunqing on the shoulder and said, "Marry my fourth sister, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future!"

Huo Changqing knew the clothes that Yuxi made for Yunqing, and couldn't help but say: "This girl is a person with a heart." In the future, treat her well. "No matter what, if you can have this thought, it proves that you are ready to live wholeheartedly with Yunqing.

Yunqing nodded and said, "I will." "In fact, this time will pass when Yunqing has free time, but unfortunately Yuxi is not seen on the grounds that men and women are in trouble. R1148
