A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Cao Mansion set up a happy shed.

Concubine Mi's status is precious, although she wants to take the opportunity to go to Cao's house for a stroll, it is not good to appear noisy in the middle of the day, so she came over to "add boxes" in the morning of the makeup delivery.

Knowing that his mother-in-law was coming, Prince Zhuang Fujin naturally joined in the fun, and with the sixteenth elder brother bringing the little elder brother to Cao's house to eat and drink. The seventeenth elder brother arrived by himself, because the seventeenth Fujin was doing the confinement, and the box gift was brought by him.

In addition, Prince Yu and his wife, Prince Ping and his wife, Hengsheng, the eldest son of the county king, as well as Prince Chun's prince and several elder brothers arrived one after another, making the atmosphere more and more enthusiastic.

Don't say it's the righteous relatives of the Cao family, it's Miss Yanzhi who is out of the cabinet, and that's it.

is really the current in-laws of the Cao family, most of them are clans, and Cao Hao is in a high position, so everyone is also willing to have more contacts between relatives.

The others are still there, most of them are walking around the Cao Mansion, but Prince Yu is the new in-law of the Cao family, and it is the first time he has seen this formation.

Hearing that the Cao family only had three wines, he thought that the Cao family only had a family banquet.

When I arrived at Cao's Mansion, I saw that it was true, most of the people who came to eat and drink after receiving posts were in-laws, but the in-laws of the Cao family got together, which was more like a clan banquet.

Before coming over, the fourth sister had shown her husband the list of "adding boxes", and Prince Yu knew that the "righteous relative" of the Cao family was treated with Miss Tong in the Cao family.

The invitees are all close relatives and friends, and of course they all know that the bride is not light.

In the inner courtyard, the "makeup gifts" of the female guests also dazzled Zhuang's eyes. This is still because of the presence of Tianhui who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and everyone has a lot of restraint, but all kinds of silk and satin, gold and jade jewelry, are piled up into a full of wealth.

When it was time to "dry the dowry", the ninety-eight dowries prepared by the Cao family were also put out, plus the "box gift" called today, and it became one hundred and twenty lifts.

There were three tiles and ten adobes, which were three houses and fifteen acres of land.

In the past, after seeing such a dowry that was no less than that of the fourth sister's marriage, Zhao Jia's heart had long been pantothenic, but now it is rare to be calm.

It's just because the Li family has already told her that in this dowry, the house and land are left by Mr. Zhuang to his daughter, and Zhuang Yanping bought them for his cousin. Many antique calligraphy and paintings that accompanied the marriage are also the collections left by Mr. Zhuang.

In order to give Niuniu a long face, Li told everyone today that Niuniu had the title left by her father.

After listening to it, everyone knew that Niuniu was born as a young lady from an official family. There is also the grace of the first emperor, although it is a woman, but she can inherit her father with a husband or son, except for the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, where is there such grace?

The Cao family's kindness to Niuniu implies the meaning of being ordered to care for orphans.

After hearing these words, others just said a few words of praise for Niuniu, no matter how much Niuniu is favored in the Cao family, it is a fact that her husband's family is not obvious, and there will be no chance to socialize together in the future.

Cao Ying's heart was sour.

It's not that she has a bad heart and thinks about her mother's family, but she feels sorry for her son.

I knew that Niuniu had a knighthood behind her, and I said that it was better to give it to my son than a cheap outsider.

At the beginning of the day (one o'clock in the afternoon), the Wei family sent people to "urge makeup".

The eight palace guards, with new guard uniforms, brought a bit of joy and were very decent.

There are also eight people who "send makeup" on the Cao family's side, except for Cao Xiang taking the lead, the rest are all half-grown teenagers, Tianyou, Hengsheng brothers, as well as Zuo Zhu, Zuo Cheng, Changsheng, Cao Yi's son Shou Ge'er, and Prince Chun's grandson Brother Yong'an.

It's not that you can't find a male guest who has a official to wear "makeup", it's just that the Wei family is in charge of family affairs, and it is also Wei Wenjie, who has just reached the crown.

In addition to Changsheng being a peer, the rest have to call the bride "little aunt" or "little aunt", which is also to support the façade of Niuniu.

Not to mention how Wei Wenzhi followed his brother with a smile to greet guests, not to mention the uneasiness and sourness when He saw the dowry in the courtyard, just said that on the side of Caofu, there were two opera troupes in the front and back yards, various melons, fruits, peaches and plums, ice porridge and ice bowls, and relieved the summer heat, which made everyone very happy.

Concubine Mi listened to the play for a long time, coaxed her little grandson for a long time, and talked about the old words with the old sisters of the Li family for a long time, and made an appointment to go to Haidian together for a few days to escape the summer.

There is no summer courtyard in Baylor Mansion, a garden in Haidian adjacent to the garden of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, the original garden of the Tong family, was awarded to Concubine Mi after being confiscated into the government; Another garden of the Nian family was awarded to the Guojun Palace.

Living outside the city, not to mention the coolness, there are fewer rules for eating and drinking and listening to dramas.

As the Li family got older, they also began to love to be lively, and they agreed with a smile.

As soon as it came down, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the guests dispersed, Chu Yu sent people to carry two brocade boxes to the Banyan Courtyard.

In addition to the things in the box, there is another one prepared here, but it is just something to teach Chengren.

Chu Yu handed it over to Lianqiu, and tonight between the mother and daughter, it was good to teach a few words. After all, Poor Qiu is from an aunt, and Chu Yu has to explain the gift of the eldest woman and the way of getting along with husband and wife.

Rao has always been generous and courteous, but when he came out of the cabinet, Niuniu couldn't help but feel a little shy and nostalgic on her face.

Chu Yu took her hand and whispered for a while, most of them were taught in Pingyu, but she was not at ease, so she chattered again.

Seeing that it was late at night, Chu Yu left with a little reluctance.

Cao Hao was a little drunk, so he had already changed his clothes and lay down, but he hadn't closed his eyes yet, lying on the mat and looking at the roof in a daze.

Seeing that he was not worried, Chu Yu thought that he was reluctant to Niuniu, and persuaded: "The girl is older, she always has to go out of the cabinet, Niuniu is seventeen, and she has always been sensible, Wenzhi is an open-minded surname, the two of them will get along well, don't worry too much." ”

Cao Hao sighed and said, "It's a little reluctant, but there's nothing to worry about." Niuniu followed Mr., she has an idea in her heart, and she will never make herself sad...... I thought of our daughter, the sixteenth and seventeenth masters asked about the family affairs of Tianyou and Tianhui......"

Although Hengsheng said that he had restored his identity, after all, he had been the Cao family for so many years.

Although the marriage date of the three princesses and Hengsheng is initially scheduled for next year, the son has not yet been chosen, and the sixteenth elder brother has asked Hengsheng about the meaning of the marriage.

The third princess will be married in February next year, if you want to do a happy event as soon as possible, you will be able to get married in the first half of the year; If you save more time, it will be cheaper to hold a happy event at the end of the year.

Hang Seng has no objections to the first half of the year or the second half of the year, but he just hopes to see the Cao Mansion here, and it is best to set the wedding date after Tianyou.

Tianhui will be in time for next year, and the family affairs will not be delayed.

"Master, Tianyou is really big, otherwise I would like to ask Aunt Sixteen to be an iceman and propose to King Jian's mansion?" Chu Yu said.

The family affairs of the two families have been almost discussed, and the eight characters have also been combined, only because Cao Hao was on a temporary business trip last month, and the matter of changing posts was delayed.

Now that he's back, it's hard to put it off any longer.

Although Cao Hao has never seen a real character when he grows up, Chu Yu has seen it a few years ago, noble and gentle, which is very in line with Chu Yu's wishes.

"It's okay, it's time to decide, so you don't have to talk about it again in Yongqing." Cao Hao responded.

Regarding the choice of son-in-law, it is still a cloud and mountain fog, and there is no candidate.

Chu Yu remembered her nephew Yong'an, who wanted to be the same age as her daughter, who was good-looking, but her husband said that "close relatives are not married...... There was nothing to say all night, and the next time it was said that it was the Cao Mansion to marry the daughter, and the people who came and went with it came to eat, drink and give gifts. Although the guests who came were not as dignitaries as yesterday, they were no less lively than yesterday.

After another day of trouble, when Shen Zheng (four o'clock in the afternoon), the groom official came to greet him.

Although Wenzhi also often comes to Caofu, Tianyou and Hengsheng are not polite at all.

Originally, they were brothers of the same generation, but after today, everyone will be a generation shorter, and if they don't toss Wenzhi, how can everyone feel comfortable.

Knowing that Wenzhi values martial arts and ignores literature, everyone uses some "elegant things" for poems and sentences to embarrass him, which makes Wenzhi sweat in a hurry.

Fortunately, among the best men of several guards, two of them also read poetry, and they made do with each other, stumbling and stumbling, which can be regarded as letting Wen Zhi pass.

Niuniu, who wore a wedding dress, in addition to saying goodbye to the two aunts, also went to the Lanyuan to say goodbye to the Li family, Cao Hao and Chu Yu did not fall behind, they all knelt down to say goodbye.

Even though everyone persuaded her, at the moment of kneeling goodbye, Niuniu's tears were still rolling down.

All the instructions were instructed, and in everyone's reluctance, Niuniu still got on the sedan chair and carried it out of Cao's mansion.

Tian's mother and son are gone, Hengsheng is gone, Niuniu is also married, and after Niuniu said "back to the door", Xiqiu and Cao Yi set a wedding date, and they will get married at the end of the month; On the side of Lianqiu, Niu Niu is also in charge, and she is married to a shopkeeper in Daoxiang Village, and she will marry after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For the two aunts to marry, Zhuang Yanping was not very happy in his heart.

But the two aunts were concubines, and they started their youth and kept them for their uncles for ten years, bringing Niuniu up, and they were also worthy of the dealer.

The religion of etiquette requires women to observe festivals, but it is said to their wives, and there is no reason for any family to require concubines to observe festivals. Therefore, Zhuang Yanping didn't talk about it, but prepared two hundred taels of silver and gave it to the two aunts.

After the "return ceremony", Zhuang Yanping had no reason to stay, so he returned to his hometown.

Chai Xiucai's side, there was finally movement.

He drafted a pleading, accusing the Cao family of embezzling the banker's property, and demanding that the Cao family and the little aunt who had already left the cabinet return part of the banker's property.

Because he said that Zhuang Yanping was not moving, his name was not right, and he said that his second son was inherited to the Yue's family and asked to inherit the title left by his father-in-law.

Because the old father had no children, Zhuang did mention to her husband in the early years that the second son would inherit the Zhuang family's incense.

Chai Xiucai boasted that he was a scholarly heirloom, and he despised the family for a living, so he rejected his wife's proposal.

When Mr. Zhuang passed away, he wanted to change his mind for the sake of inheritance, but it was too late.

At the beginning, I didn't know how much inheritance my father-in-law had left, and because of the power of the Cao family, I didn't dare to tear my face, so I reluctantly left the capital.

Now I know that Niuniu has the title left by her father-in-law, as well as Niuniu's marriage of fifteen acres of land and the dowry of three houses, these are not floating wealth, and they should have been left to the heirs and grandchildren of the Zhuang family, how can Chai Xiucai endure it?

Before the paper was sent, God had already sent a copy of it to his father.

Cao Hao looked at this paper, and did not feel annoyed, but felt ridiculously tight.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhuang family and Chai Xiucai were really unbearable, and they were not close to Niuniu, Cao Hao would take care of it for Mr. Sake's sake.

Now it seems that this Chai Xiucai is not only blind, but also a little lacking in heart.

Thinking that he had been in charge of the sea trade for half a year, how many pairs of eyes were staring at the pigtails that grabbed him, but because he was low-key and cautious, he had nowhere to start, Cao Hao smiled, put down the paper, and said, "Let him ......"

* Ahem, there is a kind of toughness, there is no reason.
