Chapter 292: Marrying

Although there are people who are greedy for a dowry to marry their daughters, if a large family marries, the richer the gift is, the more careful the dowry will be. Du Zhen has been separated from his wife and daughter for more than ten years, and now his only daughter is married to the only student. Helplessly, although he is proficient in poetry and writing, it is difficult to count on the sophistication of human affairs, but often adds to the chaos, and in the end, Qiu has to persuade her husband to leave with kind words.

The Zhang family sent thirty-two gifts, and the Du family's makeup should be twice as rich, at least sixty-four. Since Shen Du, Shen Cang brothers and Yang Rong came to the door, many colleagues who received the happy post have also sent their female relatives to the door to send gifts and boxes. Although it is more or less just a heart, after all, it has also put together a lot of exquisite things. However, the most urgent need was still the relatives who came to the door in the hometown of eastern Zhejiang, who not only sent a complete set of high-quality rosewood furniture, but also lacquerware, curtains, bedding, door curtains, and clothing rulers, which actually arranged nearly half of the dowry.

Although these are all urgently needed things, Du Zhen and Qiu don't like to owe favors for no reason, and they originally refused to accept it, however, those relatives are bowing and begging in every possible way, some say that this is a piece of the heart of the hometown father, and some say that they have been guilty of occupying the Du family's land property without knowing anything, all in all, there are various reasons, and in the end Qiu has to accept it.

It's just that I didn't see so many relatives when I was promoted to political envoy, but this time I came in such a timely manner, even if I was as wise as Du Zhen, I couldn't help but feel quite confused in my heart.

That set of furniture obviously didn't come out in a day or two, could it be that these people had prepared it early?

On the day of the makeup, the Zhang family was led by Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi, and found two familiar Xungui children, and Wanshijie and Xia Ji are the best lively, and this season is also newly decorated and volunteered, plus Fangling Sun Han, it is just enough to make up eight people, all the way to the Du family, and sent four makeup boxes with a smile, which are nothing more than the usual pasta and meat, including rice cakes and mutton.

After receiving the make-up box, the Du family began to pay tribute after the relatives and friends, and attracted countless people to watch the excitement along the way, and the children ran happily behind the strong men who carried things.

When the mighty makeup delivery team arrived in an alley in front of Zhang's house, it was Zhang Zhen who had already brought a large number of family members to wait here to welcome the makeup, and escorted the sixty-four dowries all the way to the front yard of Zhang's house, and then laid them out.

Du Zhen Qiu is such a daughter, and the makeup is naturally all she has. The first two in the dowry are the grange that Qiu bought after he arrived in Beijing, and there is also a three-entry courtyard in the city. So there was a tile and six pieces of colored paper adobe on the balustrade table at the front, followed by twenty wooden vessels, both sent from eastern Zhejiang, and prepared by Qiu himself, from large dressers to hardwood carved multi-baoge, from circle chairs to eight immortal tables. After that, there are utensils, cosmetics, bedding, clothes and shoes and socks for the four seasons, all of which are extremely rich.

Because the makeup is the façade of the woman, it must be unveiled for the guests to see and see, so a subordinate of the Du family outside signed up in the same way, and several stewards of the Zhang family opened the lids of those boxes, and when the lids of the last four boxes of gold and silver jewelry were lifted, even the guests who were used to seeing good things couldn't help but be surprised.

The golden hairpin, the gold pressed sleeve, the gold silk inlaid treasure cover sideburns, the pearl inlaid gold silk treasure hairpin, the four kinds of each two pairs of gold ornaments, is the pearl hoop, white jade bracelet and other pearl and jade jewelry, although the style is old and new, after all, it is neat and tidy. Even the few housekeepers' daughters-in-law who went to the front yard to help couldn't find the slightest shabby, and they all nodded secretly.

Although it is said that tomorrow is a serious welcome, but according to the rules, today the Zhang family will have a wedding banquet to receive relatives and friends from all parties, at this time in the front yard to watch the woman's makeup is a lot of people, for the Du family can buy such a dowry, people who know the roots are all quietly talking in private, and the voice has gradually increased, all of them are in high spirits.

"I don't know, I still don't understand this? Many of those boxes of gold and silver jewelry are palace styles! ”

I don't know who muttered, but this word soon spread throughout the courtyard, and the noisy voices immediately stopped, and some slipped back to the wedding shed to continue the feast, while others looked at the many things in disbelief. Among them, Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan, who have always been on duty in and out of the palace, can naturally distinguish whether this is true or false, looking at the shiny thing, the brothers made an excuse to leave in a hurry, but they got into the same carriage outside.

It wasn't until the makeup was enough for relatives and friends that the Zhang family sent things to the new courtyard in the same way, and Zhang Yue asked people to reward the Du family who sent the makeup, and he couldn't help but stare at the things in the yard. He had heard the muttering of others just now, but he was thinking about where things came from. However, what he cares more about is the real estate of the Du family's marriage, for the Du family, who is originally just a solid family, there are so many marriages in one go, and he really has to worry about how his father-in-law and mother-in-law live.

The makeup of the Du family made the Sun family, who was originally a little worried, overjoyed, so when it came to the day of the marriage, she got up early in the morning, and actually took the girl to call Zhang Yue up, urging him to freshen up and change clothes, seeing that he put on a new rain-swept azure silk robe, and watched him go out of the house to receive visitors from all over the world, she gently wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

The pearl on the side hurriedly pulled Sun's sleeve: "Madam, don't let people see it on the big day." ”

"I'm happy." Sun was still looking at the door of the courtyard where there was no one, and his face couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy, "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I have been working hard day by day, and I finally look forward to him coming out, and I am looking forward to him getting married." Now I just hope that he is safe and sound, and he can fight with his father and me for a good time, so that he and his daughter-in-law can have a big fat boy as soon as possible......"

Seeing that Sun was choked up again, Pearl Peony hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and it was easy to persuade the person, and the two had to drag the master to the house to refreshe and make up. Lingxi and the three of them are not good to come forward, at this time, the water is fetched, and the makeup box is taken from the makeup box, and when Sun's mood recovers, everyone laughs and talks about the marriage in the church at night.

Although the British Duke Zhang Fuyuan was training in Xuanfu, and Mrs. Wang was pregnant with Liujia and had difficulty moving, some of the generals and heroes looked at the British princess's affection, some looked at the relationship between their in-laws, and some pondered that the Zhang family boy seemed to have won the grace of God, but there were a lot of them. Except for a few who had a deep friendship with the King of Han and had never come to the door to congratulate them, the rest of the guests actually squeezed the Zhangjia Zhengtang Ruiqing Hall tightly. Because these are almost all elders, all morning, Zhang Yue was recognizing people's heads and saluting and laughing and talking, Rao is no matter how good his memory is, this time he is also dizzy and does not remember a few people.

According to the ancient rites, the sedan chair is after dusk. Because the day of Renzi is the auspicious day of the zodiac obtained by divination, and it is the day of the Jiaomu Jiao, it is said that it is to marry many noble sons in marriage, and the auspicious time of the zodiac is set at three quarters of the unitary time. Because Zhang Zhuo could not rush back, in the afternoon to worship the temple by Zhang You to guide the worship, after the worship of the time, Zhang Yue is to the auditorium in the big media An Yuan Marquis Liu Shengdun to ask for marriage, the moment is a little more than a incense bow and other ancient rites, when Zhang Yue, who changed into a robe, got on the horse, but was already sweating.

Although frugality is advocated in marrying relatives nowadays, the family of officials and heroes is inevitably extravagant. Both sides of the road were originally crowded with many people watching the excitement, and the blowing and beating along the way attracted some passers-by to stop and watch, which made Zhang Yue experience the taste of a thousand eyes. After all, the Du family only has a daughter, Du Juan, and no other brothers and sisters, and it is good to sprinkle red envelopes with happy money at the checkpoint at this door, however, he is still a little unaccustomed to seeing that the quiet and deserted place in the past was suddenly full of happy sheds.

Because the woman's officiant was Shen Can, Zhang Yue worshiped the officiant in front of the dormitory, and then came to the main hall. Seeing that Du Zhen and Qiu were both sitting upright in dresses, he stood in place for a moment, and then stepped forward and bowed deeply three times. After getting up, he saw that Du Zhen's face was covered with a rare smile, obviously extremely relieved, not to mention Qiu.

After saluting, he retreated to the door and waited, and in a short time he heard a small sound behind him. Even if he couldn't turn back, he knew that it must be the girl who hugged Du Juan to say goodbye. When he saw the figure passing by, he couldn't help but glance up, but he only had time to see the embroidered Yunxia Lian Que Wenxia veil.

After a while, he heard Du Zhen's familiar voice coming from inside, but at this moment, the voice that had always remained unchanged seemed to tremble a little, clearly conveying an indescribable excitement: "Go to the girl's house, take obedience as the right, and never forget to be solemn." ”

After these words, Qiu's voice was slightly choked: "You must be respectful, you must refrain from disobeying your aunt's orders." ”

"Do as your parents tell me."

Although these are all words that are too familiar to be familiar with the etiquette, but at this time, he clearly heard what others said, Zhang Yue still couldn't help but feel agitated, and the result was that An Yuan Hou Liu gently pushed him when he rose out of the main hall, and he remembered that the ceremony had been completed at this time, and the wedding sedan chair should have left the door. When he went out of the gate, he looked at Du Juan wearing a red hijab and got on the sedan chair, until the sedan curtain was gently lowered in front of him, and then he turned over and got on the horse under the urging of several entourages, and galloped away with a whip, and saw the relatives and friends of the woman who sent him off after laughing.

The eldest Shen Du stood there and sighed: "This groom official is really right, if it weren't for the rules, he would have to go home first and wait at the door to welcome the bride in, maybe he would follow all the way!" ”

Several relatives who came from afar looked at the small alley blocked in front of Du's house, and the scene full of high-ranking friends and officials, all felt that this trip was worth it at this moment, and the gift was not in vain - although they were forced to run this trip helplessly behind their backs, and they had cursed secretly.

Who would have thought that Du Zhen, who should have ruined his future a long time ago, is now so beautiful?
