delicious little cook

Chapter 359

At the time of Chensi's acquaintance, the female guests sent by the husband's family arrived. After entering the door, they first went to the main room to greet the in-laws. A lot of auspicious words were said again.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing brought hot water for washing their hands from the kitchen, and asked the female guests to wash their hands one by one. Meihuan served tea to the guests, and the snacks brought by Bai Kou just happened to serve the guests. A group of people chatted and laughed , the atmosphere was harmonious, and Meilun finally had a smile on her face.

Bai Kou also took out a few small purses from the satchel and gave them to each of the female guests of the man's house. Please take good care of the bride today.

The female guests took a rest, washed their hands again, lit all three pairs of red candles, and began to comb Meilun's hair, which was the most time-consuming part. Make-up and dressing can be done after lunch.

Bai Kou and Meihuan stayed in the room as helpers, while Xiaoqian and Xiaojing took Xiao Yezi to the kitchen to cook lunch, and they had to eat early today.

After Meilun combed her hair, lunch was ready and they were divided into two tables. One table was brought into the main room for the in-laws to entertain the female guests of the male family, and the bride's table was carried into the boudoir for the sisters to eat together.

After everyone finished eating one after another, the female guests washed their hands and faces and went back to the boudoir to accompany the bride. It was only after noon when many children rushed into the courtyard to shout that the groom was coming.

The neighbors, relatives and friends who watched the excitement quickly closed the courtyard door happily.

The girls in the boudoir couldn't help getting a little excited. Bai Kou pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, and there was a faint and cheerful sound of make-up reminders. As the wedding procession approached, the sound of the music became more and more Everyone in the courtyard heard it, with joyful expressions on their faces.

Only then did Grandma Quanfu open up the dowry and began to put on makeup for Meilun. Bai Kou watched from the sidelines, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that bridal makeup was really useful for making people completely unrecognizable. Under Grandma Quanfu's skillful makeup, The swollen eyeballs that could not be removed by cold compresses became smoother.

When the music came outside the courtyard gate, the rhythm became more cheerful. The relatives and friends guarding the gate wanted to open the door seal. Sun Qing passed three rounds outside the gate, and the courtyard gate finally opened amidst the uproar. Firecrackers were hung, and amidst the crackling cannons, the sedan chair to welcome the relatives entered the yard first.

Sun Qing was welcomed into the main room to worship his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and presented them with a marriage certificate issued by the government for their review. The drummer in the courtyard played the reminder song over and over again, and repeatedly invited the bride to the sedan chair.

Just as the music was playing, the boudoir was dressing and dressing slowly.

The illiterate in-laws couldn't understand the contents of the marriage certificate, they only recognized the official official seal. After returning the marriage certificate, the in-laws suddenly burst into tears.

Sun Qing put away the marriage certificate, went out to the door of the boudoir and asked the bride to get on the sedan chair loudly.

This time the boudoir door finally opened, Bai Kou came out, and asked for the marriage certificate, Sun Qing smiled and presented the marriage certificate, Bai Kou took the marriage certificate and entered the room, and closed the door again.

Laughter finally came from the quiet boudoir, the drummers played even more vigorously, and the nephews who followed Sun Qing to greet the bride even shouted to ask the little aunt to get on the sedan chair, making the onlookers laugh out loud.

The door opened for the second time, Bai Kou came out and went down to the courtyard to return the marriage certificate, and then the rest of the female guests in the room came out, Grandma Quan Fu helped the bride who was covered in head covering to walk at the end.

Amid applause and applause, the newlyweds walked into the main room again to toast tea and say goodbye to their parents. The parents also had to tell their daughters a few words. However, Lun couldn't cry any tears anymore, and with the support of Quan Fu's grandma, he kowtowed goodbye to his parents together with Sun Qing, got up and went out to get on the sedan chair.

The welcoming team finally embarked on the return journey. According to the distance of the route, it happened to be able to enter the gate of the husband's house at dusk to pay respects and feast the guests.

The sound of Chui Chui Da Da's music gradually faded away, and the guests in the courtyard also dispersed one after another. Bai Kou told Hao Meihuan and the three to return to the mansion tomorrow to work as errands, and left with Xiao Ye Zi.

After Laba tomorrow, she still has a lot of things to do.

In the evening, Gu Yun greeted the elders and came back. When he passed the small kitchen, he saw Bai Kou waiting for him. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately rushed over and kissed her on the face before listening to her.

After Bai Kou finished talking about today's marriage, Gu Yun also gave her a new piece of news. After the year-end exam, it's the annual vacation. He wants to entertain his buddies to eat roasted whole lamb, and the next day there will be a party for those dude boys. Waiting for the holiday to have fun, and the side dishes they wrote on the note before must be prepared.

These things are trivial to Bai Kou, she agreed to them one by one, shook off Gu Yun and turned around to leave.

Gu Yun chased after him with a playful smile, took advantage of the darkness to hold Bai Kou's hand and walked together, until they entered the corner door and stood on the veranda of his main house, the two really separated and went their separate ways.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Kou got up early and went to the East Kitchen to cook Laba porridge. There is such a tradition in the capital that relatives and friends will give each other Laba porridge on this day. Pack a urn of porridge and let them take it to the government office and school.

The three maids of Meihuan returned home with their luggage in their hands. The maids surrounded them and asked about yesterday's wedding. Gu Yun felt more at ease when the old girl waited on him.

After Laba is over, it is time to prepare for the New Year. On the morning of the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the eldest lady finally received letters from her two sisters-in-law. Their whole family will go home to celebrate the new year, and the second wife also found her eldest son and eldest daughter. It is a suitable marriage, and the brothers of the woman's family will come to the house as guests during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the news came out, the mansion was filled with joy. Everyone was waiting for the young master to come home in the evening and went to congratulate him one after another. The eldest lady felt a faint headache. The father-in-law's foreign study summoned the big housekeeper and the big accountant, and asked how much money the father-in-law could spend on the account to organize the two marriages.

The dowry of the third lady Gu Wan is easy to handle, just give it the same proportion as the dowry ratio of the first two young ladies, so the second lady doesn't have to be picky about comparisons, because the eldest lady has strong financial resources, the dowry of the eldest lady and the second lady is from her biological mother If the second wife is dissatisfied with the shabby dowry of her eldest daughter, she will ask her to subsidize it herself.

The eldest son Gu Xu's marriage expenses are the part that makes people hesitate. As the eldest grandson, he naturally has a reason to do so, but he is the eldest son of the second family after all. If his standards are set too high, Gu Yun's marriage standards will definitely be different. If it is to be raised further, it will inevitably impose a serious burden on the public finances.

A very simple reason. Before Gu Yun got married, there were still Gu Jing and a few girls who wanted to marry. If all the money was spent on them, when it was Gu Yun's turn, how could the public have any money for him? Arranging the marriage, if the wedding of the dignified son is so shabby that even the elder brothers can't compare, she, as a mother, shouldn't cry to death.

It is human nature for a mother to use her private house to put a dowry on her daughter, and it is a manifestation of the deep love between mother and daughter, but if the mother also pays a lot of money for the son's marriage, it is either a widow or an incompetent father, and the face of the Duke's House and the Duke's Do you want to.
