Chapter 358 Meilun Married

After a while, the three of them gathered around the stove, each with a cup of hot tea, and sat on the twig to chat.

"Tell me, can Meilun's marriage still take place as scheduled?"

"After accepting the dowry from the man's family, you must marry, but you don't want to pay more dowry, you pick right and left, and cry poorly with your daughter, insisting that brothers have no money to marry a wife, and insisting that they use their own private houses as dowry. Buying a few bolts of cloth at home is like cutting meat."

"The two sisters don't even have a private house, so they donated all the money they saved to their parents. Half of the money they gave over the years can be used as a dowry."

"It's just that they don't have half of the money. Those two brothers in their family don't have a decent job, and they only earn a couple of dollars a month. They are still counting on taking the dowry from Meilun to marry them. daughter in law."

"What's the attitude of Sister Meilun?"

"The two of them cried almost every day, and their eyes were so swollen that they couldn't go out to meet people. Xiaoqian and I went to accompany them every day. We called our brothers to go to the street to help them buy something."

"You have worked hard these days."

"Sisters who have been together for so many years, of course we want to see their sisters get married happily."

"So, she doesn't have any decent dowry?"

"There is only one box of quilts prepared at home, and one box of clothes contains only two sets of new clothes for the New Year, and the rest are old clothes that have been worn, and then there are some daily necessities, such as basins and toilets, and jewelry. It must be our young master. I added makeup, so I don’t have another one at home.”

"Just something like that?"

"Yeah, my natal family only has this, and the makeup from relatives and friends can fit two boxes. Tomorrow, the husband's family will send someone to give a reminder gift. I don't know if their parents will pick it up. .”

"Ask Mei Lun, what is she thinking? If she still uses money from her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family after she gets married, she will harm the Sun family, and my son and I will feel very sorry."

"We asked this question, but Meilun just cried and didn't say anything, so we've got nothing to do."

"Well, there is really no other way. It's useless for outsiders to worry if she doesn't stand up herself. The man's family gave the bride price of two carriages, but their family can't even part with a one-to-one dowry. They don't want any face from the woman's family. .”

"Why don't I tell Meilun and the others in the afternoon that when the makeup reminders arrive tomorrow, they must be taken care of. They are all to be taken back to the man's house, so don't let the bride be rejected by her husband's house just after she walks through the door."

"Well, that's fine. Tell them everything you need to say. Sun Qing is an important business partner. Ask Meilun to figure out which side she should lean towards. If she is smart, she should cut off her relationship with her natal family after marriage. Anyway, my daughter Once you get married, you belong to someone else’s family.”

"Okay, I'll make it clear to her."

"Where do you plan to send the dowry in those boxes to the man's house?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Is the car ready?"

"Ready."

"Which side door will you pass through?"

"It seems to be the west door."

"Okay, ask the coachman to stop at the west door, and put on the makeup that the prince gave you, and you can tell Meilun quietly, her paperwork is in the jewelry box."

"Ok."

Bai Kou patted Xiaojing's knee and stood up slowly.

"If you work hard for a few more days, you will know when you get married in the future."

Xiaojing blushed immediately, laughed and quarreled with Bai Kou, and then sent her and Xiao Yezi out.

After returning to the mansion and taking a nap, Bai Kou was called to the front by the maids to go into the yard first. The new girl Gu Xu bought came out for a walk in the afternoon to familiarize herself with the environment and meet the big and small stewards in the mansion. Of course, the Zhongmingyuan side is coming.

The two leading girls, one named Xiangzhu and the other named Guizhu, were also wearing green bamboo-leaf dresses. They were both first-class and beautiful beauties, and by watching their salutes, one could tell that they had been trained a long time ago. It seemed that Gu Xu The young master spent a lot of money to buy these new girls.

Bai Kou accepted the gift from their group graciously, said a few words of encouragement, and asked the little girls to lead them to Jicheng Hall to meet Mama Pang, while she went back to the study to discuss the gossip with Gu Yun, and told them He talked about what happened to Meilun.

Gu Yun smiled at Gu Xu's girl, but he couldn't help but feel worried about Meilun's current situation. After discussing with Bai Kou for a while, he felt that it was necessary to remind Sun Qing that they are important business partners now, and he didn't want him to be married when he was newly married. Start worrying about housework.

The days passed quickly, and two days passed in a flash, and it was the makeup delivery day on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Both Xiaojing and Xiaoqian sent their brothers back and forth to deliver letters, telling Bai Kou when the carriage would leave and when it would arrive outside the west door. So I called two rough envoys to carry the makeup box for Meilun to the west door and wait. After a short while, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing arrived with the carriage.

The box was packed to the brim, and the two sets of jewelry boxes didn't take up much space, so I filled the remaining space in the box with various fabrics, finally giving Meilun a decent dowry.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing got out of the car at this time, and their brothers went with the car. As relatives and friends who gave the dowry, Bai Kou gave them a little money for tea, and they sent the dowry to them properly. , promised properly.

Watching the makeup delivery car go away, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing invited Bai Kou to send Meilun out of the pavilion the day after tomorrow, and then hurried back.

Another day later, it was the seventh day of the lunar new year, Bai Kou sent Gu Yun out, changed clothes and took Xiao Ye Zi to Mei Lun's house, carrying a few homemade snacks in her hand.

When they arrived at Meilun's house, the bride had just finished grooming and put on clean clothes. She was waiting for Grandma Quanfu and several female guests from the husband's family to come to comb her hair and dress up.

The boudoir was finally dressed up properly, a pair of huge red wedding candles were placed under the three walls, the wedding dress and phoenix coronet sent by the man's family were neatly spread on the bed, and the dressing table was also full of gifts from the man's family. makeup, mirrors, handkerchiefs, headscarves, etc.

Bai Kou went to meet Meilun's parents first, and put two boxes of snacks on the table for them to entertain guests, and asked Xiao Yezi to carry the rest to Meilun's room, so as not to make her hungry.

The parents of these two boxes of snacks called Meilun are very face-saving, and the neighbors and friends who came to watch the ceremony are full of praise. They are afraid that the guests will eat up, so they find an excuse to put away a box.

Bai Kou couldn't see their stinginess, and after sitting politely for a while, she went to Meilun's room.

Meilun has cried so many times these days, her eyes are swollen like goldfish eyes, Bai Kou hastily told her to apply cold compresses, otherwise when Grandma Quanfu comes, it will be difficult to help her put on makeup when she sees her like this.
