Chapter 1198: To be married
This year has passed very dullly, these days Shen Younan has become more and more frequent when he runs home, and every time he comes back, he has to pull Shen Nanzhi to talk at length. Its contents include, but are not limited to: the way of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the way of getting along with concubines, the way of getting along with aunts and daughters-in-law, the way of getting along with husband and wife, how to quickly get status and respect at home, how to prepare for pregnancy and other matters......
was so serious that he almost asked Shen Nanzhi to excerpt it word by word, and every time Shen Nanzhi said that he almost fell asleep with his head up, Shen Younan glared at her angrily: "Do you think that after marrying someone, you will still be so comfortable as a girl in the boudoir!" When the time comes, there are more things to think about, don't get married, go back to your parents' house and cry! ”
Shen Nanzhi felt that what her sister said was very reasonable-so she chose to use an embroidered jacket to escape her second sister's enthusiastic "pre-marital course".
The days passed day by day, and at the end of March, the three Shen Yu also rushed back to the capital from Kaifeng, naturally dragging their families - Shen Nanzhi happily saw the beautiful and dignified third sister-in-law, and hugged his little niece who had just turned one year old and rubbed it for a long time. didn't know what method the second sister used, but persuaded the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law to force Shen Nanzhi to "go to class" with her.
The two sisters-in-law showed up to say - but there was nothing to say, after all, their husband's family was simple, and the mother-in-law was still not in charge! The second sister only said that the two sisters-in-law couldn't make it, so they drove the two away to help Shi's family, and went into battle herself.
Until the day of Shen Nanzhi and Lu, Shi Shi found her close friend Zuo Shi to give Shen Nanzhi a hairpin. The ceremony is not a big deal, just a process and a meal-Shi now has more important things to do.
The dowry can be said to be a very important item for the young lady of the wealthy family, and in some of the exquisite families of Zhong Ming Dingshi, those valued concubines start from babbling, and the elders have to save the dowry one by one.
is the same thick dowry, and there are two situations: from complex to simple. The most common ones are the maids and mothers-in-law who accompany the marriage and the fixed property, from the furniture such as beds, tables, cabinets, boxes, etc., to the clothes of the four seasons, and even the toilets and baths confined by mahogany...... There is a lot of variety, and there are countless of them.
However, the Shi family didn't want Shen Nanzhi to marry highly, and it was only at this time that the dowry matter was prepared, but fortunately, with Fang Yue's help, he handed over the needlework team a few days earlier.
Shen Nanzhi is highly married, although Shi is unwilling to favor the children, but fortunately, the three children are quite sensible, and they can't help but pout that the dowry given to her is better, and even they themselves have paid a lot of silver - where do ordinary people have such rules?
It is Shen Nanzhi's dowry that is very rich. The clothes alone are divided into skin, cotton, clips, sheets, and yarns. Among them, the fur is divided into sable and black fox worn in winter, and gray squirrel sheepskin and pearl fur worn in early spring; The single shirt is divided into spinning silk, lake silk, cocoon silk, tulle, as well as field yarn, linen yarn, bright yarn, and kudzu yarn used in the summer season...... Not to mention the wooden furniture, porcelain clay pots.
And Shen Nanzhi was urgently learning the rules before marriage, and a little maid came in and shouted: "Girl! My uncle's family sent a lot of things, and there were two live geese! ”
Wild geese are rare birds that are not easy to obtain, and most people use geese instead.
Shen Nanzhi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the Lu family to send a hired goose over......
Due to the restrictions of etiquette, Shen Nanzhi couldn't see those dowries, but Lilac was pulled by the proud Mo Song to take a look, and when he came back, he couldn't help but sigh: "...... Although there are not many things such as silk rulers and dragon and phoenix cakes, those collars, bracelets, hairpins, and earrings are all inlaid with gems! As he spoke, he held out his thumb, "I also saw a comb with beeswax as large as this...... Seeing that her uncle valued her aunt so much, her heart was a lot more settled! ”
Zhuyun and Juan Bi around him couldn't help but be envious, and said that it would be nice if they could go and see it themselves.
Because of the importance of marrying a daughter, Shi dragged his third uncle to specially invite Lord Qiu to preside over the overall situation (Shen Nanzhi suspected that Lu Yunqi was also entrusted by him), and sent away the people who came from the Lu family to give the dowry, and Lord Qiu gave Shen Nanzhi the dowry and the list with a goatee and a smile: "You have taken it, these are all things that the Lu family gave you!" ”
Shen Nanzhi responded gratefully, sent Master Qiu to the wing room to rest, and turned around and went to Shi's place.
The marriage is imminent, the emotions in her heart are very complicated, and now that she has seen Shi Shi, who has been busy and haggard for marriage these days, she couldn't help but have hot eyes and went directly into her arms.
Seeing that Shen Nanzhi's mood was apprehensive, Shi Shi smiled and said: "Several of your uncles have also sent a box, the second uncle is really always arrogant, and asked Wanbao Zhai to play a unique set of pure gold and gemstones, and the third uncle sent two pictures of flowers and birds to mourn the emperor...... Well, I look at it like the real thing. It's just that your uncle is interesting, the box sent is actually a box of books! ”
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed: "Uncle must be afraid that I will be blinded by the wealth and glory of the Hou Mansion, and ask me to study more and precipitate myself!" ”
Shi Shi snorted coldly, and couldn't help laughing: "Your uncle has always been like this!" Regard learning as more important than life! No matter if you stay, fill the study, or read on weekdays, the books your uncle chooses will never be bad. ”
After a pause, without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, Shi Shi took out a small black and gold-painted box from under the pillow, and after opening it, there was a pile of bills in it, she took them out one by one, and gave them to Shen Nanzhi: "This is the Shen family's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, smaller than your brothers and sisters, but the land is good, these are the six shops listed by your uncles." Although your eldest brother is clear and rigid, but our family is also rich and noble, the first three brothers and sisters in front of you married me and gave them a lot, but you took the rest of these are more than them. These silver tickets...... In addition, the amount of your dowry is not small, your name is called Na Mosong to exchange for cash, and when you get married, you will write a red envelope to seal the reward......"
Looking at the thick pile of bills, Shen Nanzhi only felt dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Mother! You've given me too much, where can I use so much money? But you, don't keep any more silver, it's good to do a pastime on weekdays......"
Shi Shi was moved in his heart, but he still scolded with a straight face: "You unproductive, do you think it's better to marry into the family?" Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't you need to take care of that? In the future there will be a place for you to make money! ”
