Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 171 Wedding Dress
The most important thing in preparing for the wedding is to make the wedding dress. Ning Wan wiped the table very clean and spread a piece of white fine cloth first, then unfolded a satin with dark patterns of big red day lily on it, and painted it carefully with powder After finishing the thread, I carefully cut it with scissors.

This piece of satin was specially sent by shopkeeper Rui Hongfeng Xiaowang when he heard that she was engaged. He said it was an extremely rare tribute. Rui Hongfeng never put it on the shop floor for sale, so he personally sent it to congratulate Ning Wan on her happy event.

Ning Wan knew that Shi Niang had already taken it, and she didn't intend to use it at first, but firstly, seeing Xiao Wang's shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, she made it clear that she just wanted to get along well with the future Mrs. What's awkward, and the other thing is that this material is really rare, even if she goes to Anpingwei with silver, she may not be able to buy it.

The tribute presented to the emperor is naturally the best in the whole world. The bright red color of this satin is so bright, it is as bright as the morning glow in the sky, as soon as you shake it off, you will feel that the brilliance is dazzling, I am afraid that every thread is the best choice , gently touching it with your hands, the silk is as delicate as a baby's skin, and what catches Ning Wan's eyes is the day lily pattern, which has the metaphorical meaning of a suitable child, and it is perfect for a wedding dress.

Ning Wan bought the best red silk money, and made every stitch and thread by herself. After all, it is a wedding dress that is only worn once in a lifetime!
Speaking of which, although Ning Wan was married in the dream, she didn't wear the wedding dress.When she left home, she sold herself as a concubine, so she couldn't afford to wear red, and with the money she got from selling herself, how could she be willing to buy cloth?What's more, I had to hide it from my father in a hurry, so I only talked about being a maid in a rich family, so I changed into clean clothes and went out with a small bag, and got into the mule cart sent by Mrs. Zhao and entered Zhao's house through the side door. , not even new clothes.

Later, although she was helped to be the young mistress of the second room, and gradually took charge of the Zhao family, she had countless sets of good clothes, but she never had the opportunity to wear the most important wedding dress in a woman's life.So at that time, every time she saw the newlyweds in red, she would inevitably feel a little sour in her heart.

Now, she is sewing a new wedding dress for herself, and then she is going out from her natal house in a red dress. Unconsciously, the face is full of smiles.

The Ning family has not been in Hutai County for less than a year. Dejufeng's business is good, but it is at least a medium-sized shop in Hutai County, not eye-catching.

However, when De Jufeng's hostess and Deputy Lu Qianhu Ning got married, the scene was really big, so the news spread quickly and attracted many people to make friends with.

There is a saying in Liaodong that "many friends lead to many paths". Since the Ning family is in business, they are naturally willing to be kind to others and integrate into Hutai County as soon as possible. For a while, the Ningliang couple had a lot of entertainment.It's just that Ning Wan doesn't go to these entertainments, even if someone specially invites her, Mother will stand in front of her and say, "It's hard to go out now, it won't be too late to keep in touch with everyone after you get married." So she rejected these people .

It's just that Sister Xi picked her up to play, but Mother nodded, "You sisters often talk together, and besides, Sister Xi's husband's family is also an official, and your son-in-law is also an official. Ask Miss Xi."

Zhao's family is a low-level official. Strictly speaking, between officials and officials, they can only be regarded as civil servants, while Lu Tieshi is a fifth-rank military officer.Mother didn't understand, but Ning Wan knew it, but she still smiled and agreed, "Mother, don't worry, my cousin will tell me."

Sister Xi quickly shook her head when she heard this, "Actually, what can we women know in the inner house? Marry into a good family and live comfortably, and just enjoy life!"

After hearing this, Ning Wan didn't take it seriously, and it's no wonder that Mrs. Zhao refused to hand over the Zhao family to her cousin. With such thoughts, how could she manage the family affairs with her heart and seek a future for the whole family?

It's not wrong to think that Sister Xi only wants to live her own little life well. She is different from herself in her dream. She is the young mistress married by Zhao Guomao's bright matchmaker. There is no need to work hard upwards.

Therefore, Ning Wan put aside her thoughts of persuading her, and asked after sitting in the mule cart: "Cousin, did you choose the child you mentioned last time and bring it to your house?"

Sister Xi said: "I mentioned it to my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law didn't want to, and asked me to wait for my eldest brother to have a son to adopt. I thought it was not bad. No matter how bad my elder brother is, he is still Guomao's real brother. His The son is Guomao's own nephew, not much different from our own son."

Mrs. Zhao also said this to herself, and then she waited with her for many years. In the end, Zhao Guofan didn't have any sons, and he had no other children except the daughter born to his wife.Zhao Guofan has no heir Ning Wan does not sympathize with him, but she also wasted a lot of time, and now thinking about it, it is really not worth it.

Ning Wan said: "Zhao Guofan has been married for several years, and there is no other child except your sister-in-law who gave birth to a daughter. I think you should not wait for him."

Sister Xi whispered: "My mother-in-law told me that my eldest brother has no children, but he can't eat too much. Today, he will have a child with this tomorrow. She has decided to find a good-bearing girl to bring in. I want to come to Xixin There will be soon."

It's useless, Ning Wan has also seen Mrs. Zhao use this method, but she still has nothing, but it is obvious that Sister Xi has completely believed in Mrs. Zhao.Of course, Ning Wan knew that Mrs. Zhao was capable, and it was not surprising that she coaxed Sister Xi. After thinking about it, they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so it is not easy to persuade them, so she can only say: "Then you have to think about it. In the past two or three years, if Zhao Guofan has no children, you should quickly adopt one yourself, and don’t wait to come and go in vain.”

Sister Xi nodded casually and agreed, "Of course I know." But she smiled at Ning Wan: "The other day I went out with my mother-in-law as a guest, and I met many wives and ladies from rich families in Hutai County. Vice Lu Qianhu and your marriage, many people don't know you, they heard that you are my cousin and asked me to help introduce you."

Ning Wan shook her head, "Cousin also knows that it's not easy for me to go out now, so let's wait until after we get married for introductions."

"I said the same thing," Sister Xi smiled, "but I agreed. When you get married, I will take you to drink tea and talk with everyone, and those who have heard of books will go to the theater and watch a hundred operas. When the time comes, you I know it, and I must like it!"

Ning Wan knew it, she had a lot of dealings with the female relatives of those big families.Watching plays, listening to books, or going to temples to burn incense is also very interesting, but after a while, it will be boring. It is not as full of vitality as housekeeping, business accounting, etc.!
In her dream, she had to associate with these people because of her position in the history of the Zhao family, but now, Ning Wan felt that she didn't need to socialize with them. In the future, she only needed to choose who she wanted to get along with, so she just nodded perfunctorily for now. , "Let's talk about it later."

Sister Xi only thought that Ning Wan was shy, and she really wanted her cousin to participate in the social gatherings of the wives and ladies of her wealthy family, "We will be companions at that time." After all, she joined in later, and Zhao Guomao was That way, when dealing with the female relatives of big families in Hutai County, she always feels that she has no confidence. If Ning Wan married Cong Lu, Deputy Qianhu, it would be much better for their cousins ​​to do everything together.

So now she chatted to her cousin, "I'm bored all day long, and I can't go to my mother's house often, so I picked you up to accompany me, and I can help you do some sewing." Then she said: " I know you won't come to my house because of Zhao Guofan, but now he went to the town below to check the granary, and my mother-in-law happened to go with some things, so it's very convenient for you to come over these two days."

Mrs. Zhao, what's the matter?She was just worried about Zhao Guofan going out on business alone!

Ning Wan smiled and said: "I'm about to ask my cousin to help me draw some patterns!" Sister Xi has always been good at needlework, and she has a lot of embroidery patterns.

"That's not easy?" Sister Xi agreed generously, "Although I seldom used needles and threads when I entered Zhao's house, I drew dozens of new patterns. here."

When we arrived at Zhao's house, the two cousins ​​were really quiet. Mrs. Zhao didn't have to go to the room to say hello; Zhao Guofan was not there, so everyone could just wander around in the garden; Zhao Guobao didn't know where he went, and even if he was there, there was nothing to fear; Only Zhao Guomao became troublesome. As soon as he saw Ning Wan entered the second room, he called: "Second Young Mistress, Second Young Mistress!" Then he threw a big smile at her.

Ever since Zhao Guomao called her, Ning Wan has been puzzled. Could it be that he had the same dream?And has gotten smarter?Naturally, it was not easy to delve into the situation that day, but it is very convenient now, so she stared at Zhao Guomao seriously, but what she saw was the same person in her dream, his eyes were as innocent as a bunny, his expression was innocent. Carefree, but he does recognize himself.

No wonder the old people would say that children who don't understand anything have the brightest eyes and can see many things that adults can't see. Maybe Zhao Guomao is also like this.

Ning Wan smiled at him, "You are not allowed to call me Second Young Mistress anymore, but to call me—Cousin." Zhao Guomao naturally wanted to call himself like Sister Xi.

Sure enough, Zhao Guomao was still willing to listen to Ning Wan's words, and changed his mouth with a smile, "Cousin, cousin!" Then he stretched out his hand to Ning Wan, "Osmanthus cake!"

Ning Wan handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Eat two yuan and go play in the garden! Come back to eat when you're hungry at noon!"

Zhao Guomao stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth, nodded his head, and agreed vaguely, "Okay!"

Ning Wan said to him, "Don't talk while eating, just nod or shake your head."

Zhao Guomao nodded vigorously, swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said with a smile, "Second young lady, I'm going to play."

Ning Wan tensed her face, "Call me cousin!"

"Cousin," Zhao Guomao remembered, "I'm going to play!"

"He still listens to you like this!" Sister Xi was still puzzled after seeing what happened just now, "Obviously I also prepared sweet-scented osmanthus cake for him?"

"You just need to be nicer to him. Smile, smile sincerely."

"How can I laugh?" Sister Xi casually threw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand back into the snack box, "Everything is going well for me in the Zhao family, but seeing him is not happy."

"But you entered the Zhao family precisely because of Zhao Guomao," Ning Wan reminded her, "so you should treat Zhao Guomao better."

"My mother always nags me like this, so don't say any more," Sister Xi hurriedly turned to ask, "Come on, I'll show you all the tricks, you can pick whatever you want."
