Chapter 357 and the wedding ceremony
The next morning, the Li family got up early to pay respects to their ancestors' graves, not only the graves on the Li family's side, but also Jiang Youzhi and Jiang Shanqing from the Jiang family's side. When the memorial service was over, it was already noon.
The family still ate the leftover dumplings made yesterday. Li Meier also made steamed and fried dumplings, which were enough for the whole family.
"Mother, Shan Qing, You Zhiming'er and I will go back first, and you can stay in the old house for a few more days, so you don't have to rush back to the state capital." After eating, Li Yan said to Mrs. Li.
"I didn't plan to go back so soon. Isn't your sister Chun from Sange Xin's family going to be ready in two days? Your wife and I plan to stay and help." Mrs. Li said.
Li Yan is a man, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of these daughters' families. Hearing this, he asked with a smile, "Are you ready for Sister Chun's wedding ceremony?"
"It's all set up, it's your daughter-in-law who set it up." Saying this, a trace of heartache flashed across Mrs. Li's face, and anyone with eyes could tell that the ceremony must not be cheap.
"I'm going to show it to my dad. I helped my mother choose the Jiji ceremony together." Li Meier happily stood up from her chair, and trotted to Jiang's room.
"Don't run, walk slowly!" Mrs. Li shouted behind her, and then complained: "How old is the girl, and she is so frizzy, I see how she will find her husband's family in the future!"
"Mother, Mei Meier is still young." Li Yan is a daughter slave, so he naturally speaks for Li Meier.
Mrs. Li still muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's almost twelve, how can I be too young, when I was her age, my family started to look after me..."
Mrs. Jiang blocked Mrs. Li's nagging words intermittently. She didn't want her daughter to marry so early, and she wanted to keep her by her side for a few more years. No matter what, she would have to wait past eighteen.
Li Meier moved very quickly, and came back in a short while with a lacquered red wooden box. She opened the box in front of Li Yan as if showing off, raised her head and said, "Look, dad, this bird is walking with pearls on its feet." How about shaking?"
Li Yan looked at the step rocker in the box, it was really exquisite and beautiful, the bird on it was lifelike, and there was a string of small white pearls in the bird's beak, which added a bit of elegance to the pure gold step shaker.
"That's right! Mei Mei'er has a good vision." Li Yan admired sincerely, this step is already very respectable.
"Is it okay, this is a full 30 taels of silver." Mrs. Li said again with heartache, she has lived such an old age, but she has never worn such expensive jewelry.
"Grandmother, don't feel bad. When your [-]th birthday comes, I will make you a bigger and more gorgeous one. It will definitely be more valuable than this one." Li Meier said boldly.
"I will remember this, don't deny it." Mrs. Li is not the kind of elder who is not willing to give up the filial piety of her children. Hearing what Li Meier said, she hurriedly asked Mother Lin to write it down.
"When will I not accept what I said, grandma, don't worry, I promise to do what I say." Li Meier patted her chest and promised, but she was thinking Xiaojiu in her heart, and she gave her grandmother gold jewelry as a birthday gift, and she will wait until she gets old. At that time, grandma would be too embarrassed to be stingy, so she had to give her a generous gift.
Li Yan and the others left Zhangshui Town early the next morning. The women in the Li family were very reluctant to part with them, but the men did not need to be supervised and knew to study hard. The academy will also have a three-day holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we can reunite together again at that time.
After seeing off her husband and younger brother, Jiang took Li Meier to Li Xin's house with the ceremony.
Li Yuanchun's birthday is on the [-]th of July. These days, Mrs. Wu has to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival sacrifice and arrange for Li Yuanchun's funeral. She is really busy. She also took time to receive Mrs. Jiang and Li Meier when they came.
"My sister-in-law seems to have lost a lot of weight. If you need my help, just ask." Jiang looked at Wu's obviously thinner cheeks and said with concern.
Wu touched her cheek, sighed wearily, and said, "My brother and sister have just returned to the town, and there must be a lot of things to be busy at home. I know you can do it if you have the heart."
"Sister Chun and Ji Li are all ready?" Jiang Shi smiled and asked again.
"Fortunately, I started letting Sister Chun choose the gown for Jiji Li several months in advance, what material to use, what kind of embroidery, and what style. I also specially assigned a manager of the embroidery shop to Sister Chun, Let them discuss it together, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time." When it came to the eldest daughter's Jiji, Wu couldn't help but smile, and he spoke in a non-stop manner.
"Sister-in-law, you are more particular. I don't know how to prepare for Meier's affairs in two years. I just learned from you, sister-in-law." Jiang listened seriously, and complimented me by the way.
"I have never done it before. I just imitated those big families. It was fine if I didn't have the conditions before. Now that I can get by, I just want to do it for my daughter. After all, it's only once in a lifetime." Wu She smiled and said that she owed her eldest daughter a little in her heart, so she wanted to make up for it at the Jiji ceremony.
Mrs. Jiang asked some more about the Jiji gift, and then gave the Jiji gift to Wu.
"Mei'er chose this one herself. She said she thought it would match Miss Chun very well when she saw it. It looked good to me, so I bought it."
Mrs. Wu also praised it a few words, and then gladly accepted it.Because Mrs. Wu was busy, Mrs. Jiang didn't stay long, so she got up and said goodbye, while Li Meier stayed at Li Xin's house, talking with Li Yuanchun and Li Yuanxia.
Li Yuanchun was showing Li Meier the Jiji dress she had made. The vermilion double-breasted silk gown and white satin pleated skirt, the skirt was only a foot long, with a begonia embroidered diagonally, dignified and festive.
"The embroidery method of this crabapple looks very different, what kind of embroidery method?" Li Meier asked while touching the delicate crabapple flower on the hem of the skirt.
"It's Su embroidery. My mother invited the best embroiderer in the embroidery workshop to help her embroider. That embroiderer is the best at Su embroidery. She made some improvements herself, so it is different from ordinary Su embroidery." Li Yuanchun replied with a smile. .
"It's really exquisite. Sister Yuanchun, when you and Ji put on this dress that day, you will definitely be able to win the crowd and overwhelm the audience!" Li Meier praised without any effort.
"You're all these messy adjectives. My sister isn't going to a beauty pageant, what is she doing to be the crowning beauty?" Li Yuanxia gave Li Meier a blank look, and said speechlessly.
"Is that a metaphor?" Li Meier giggled, and went to look at the jewelry Li Yuanchun had chosen for Ji Jili, and she was amazed and praised.
