Chapter 102
As soon as the ceremony came down, the Seventh Madam finally took out the gold hairpin inlaid with agate that she had prepared long ago, and inserted it for Shen Ji while saying auspicious words. This was considered a ceremony.From then on, Shen Ji became Wei Ying's fiancée.This is protected by law, but unlike modern times, engagement is just a formality, and marriage has legal effect.

Next, the elders of both sides and the guests who came to watch the ceremony took their seats.Mrs. Lin had already prepared a very rich table.There are four meat, four vegetarian, four dry, four fresh and sixteen dishes, and there are four-color snacks and good wine. The whole scene is very decent.

Xu Wu came early, happily told Shen Ji that she had grown an inch this month, thanked Shen Ji and repeatedly said that she would continue to dance when she went back.In addition, Ms. He and other young ladies from families close to the Lin family also came to watch the ceremony.It can be regarded as giving the Lin family enough face, so that Shen Ji's engagement ceremony can be held more beautifully.

There is still half a month left before the official wedding, after which Shen Ji will never leave home.He didn't reappear in front of people until the family banquet of the Lin Mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Mrs. Lin looked at her and said lovingly, "I can't stay for a few more days."

Shen Ji secretly inquired about the previous personnel changes, and those who used to follow the second aunt were all sold directly, and not to any good place.Second aunt's two most caring maids were sold into brothels.Those who participated in the persecution were directly beaten to death.

The person in front of me is a Bodhisattva on the one hand and Yan Luo on the other, but it is indeed of great help and kindness to me.It wasn't her, she couldn't get into this circle so quickly and get a foothold, and she actually taught herself a lot of housekeeping.Therefore, she is still very grateful to Mrs. Lin in front of her.

Mrs. Lin's two daughters are both married in other places. This time, they sent someone to send a New Year's gift early this time, and they each sent a wedding gift to Shen.It's just that Lin's family dinner tonight is not destined to be peaceful.First of all, Lin Er couldn't be found when the time came, so Lin Shilang's face became a little ugly.Later, the person was found, but he secretly went to the suburbs to see the second aunt.Presumably, Second Auntie can't last much longer.

At the family banquet, Zhun'er was also carried out to show his face, which reflected the meaning of three generations living under the same roof.At that time, Lin Shilang and Mrs. Lin were talking and didn't pay attention to this side.Lin Er, who had been keeping his head down in silence, suddenly raised his head and glanced at him with some unfriendly eyes, and then Zhun'er burst into tears.The whole scene was a mess.The newly appointed wet nurse hurriedly hugged and coaxed her, but she couldn't coax her well.

Mrs. Lin asked the wet nurse to carry her down, and then glanced over here.Lin Er continued to bow his head in silence, and both Shen Ji and Liu Shi looked at their hearts.The table next to the aunts in the room was even more silent, and no one made a sound.Lin Shilang wanted to raise his hand, but he was worried that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was an outsider, Shen Ji, at the banquet, so he finally endured it.

But at such a dull Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Lin Shilang left in the end, "Sit alone in the corner and feel unhappy!"

Shen Ji felt a chill in his heart, he had already completely forgotten about his "Jie Yu Hua".

Lin Shilang left, and the banquet broke up.The moon can't be seen at all tonight, it hides in the dark clouds, it looks dark everywhere, only the red lanterns in the corridor give off a faint light.

Shen Ji and Liu Shi went to see Zhun'er together, and the latter said lightly: "Xiao Ji, you are leaving soon, I really envy you."

"Sister-in-law, stay away from second brother in the future."

"I'm a widow, so of course I have to avoid suspicion with my young uncle. Don't worry, I know my position. I can only be good if my mother is good."

Liu Shi paused for a moment and then said: "If you go in and out with me like this, aren't you afraid that I will hinder you?"

"I don't shy away from these things." Shen Ji raised his head and looked at Liu Shi sincerely.

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, "I heard that my brother-in-law cares about you very much. I wanted to congratulate you before the date was set, but I was afraid that you would think that I was an ominous person." He said as he took off a jasper bracelet on his wrist , "I brought this from my natal family to add makeup to you."

Shen Ji officially left the cabinet, and Liu's family was also unable to attend, so he sent the congratulatory gift early.The fineness of the jade was very good, so Liu Shi directly put it on her wrist.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will visit you more often in the future. I am Zhun'er's aunt. You must bring him to play."

"Well, as long as you post the post and my mother agrees, I will definitely come. I don't have many chances to go out. Good sister, congratulations!"

Zhun'er had already fallen asleep, and I heard that she cried for a long time after she came back.There were even two crystal clear teardrops hanging on his little face, and the servants didn't dare to wipe them off for him, for fear that he would wake up and start howling again.

After parting ways with Liu Shi, Shen Ji took Wan Cui to his yard, "My family will definitely not let such a tragedy happen in the future."

On August 32th, Wei Ying sent a betrothal gift to the Lin family.Here there is a pair of live geese, tea, fruit cakes and fine wine. There are [-] full loads of them. They carry them to Lin's mansion, and there are countless children watching along the way.Mrs. Lin asked people to put the real money and other things inside on the Zhuangzi sent to Shen as a dowry for storage that day.He also took out a whole set of Xuepo jewelry and gave it to Shen Ji, "How can you call me a godmother, I can't be an old pickle."

Shen Ji knew that this was extremely precious, and it was also a good thing for Mrs. Lin's bottom of the box. Thinking about her wholeheartedly planning for herself, her eyes became wet, "Mother..."

"It's still early, let's cry later in the morning." This was teasing her crying for marriage.

August 32th is the day for the Lin family to give the dowry. The whole set of pineapple furniture that Mrs. Lin hired early in the morning is very elegant, and the 5000-carrying dowry is also beautiful.The most important thing is that Mrs. Lin handed over to Shen Ji a box of gold jewelry and [-] taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box.

In the early morning of August 21st, the yard where Shen Ji lived was busy inside and out.Gu's mother and Shen Ji's six maidservants and accompanying family members are all busy.In addition, Mrs. Lin was worried that Shen Ji would send Mama Sun and a group of male and female servants to wait for orders.Mama Sun is in charge outside the house, and Mama Gu is naturally in the house.

Early in the morning, Shen Ji ordered Wan Cui and A Ling to prepare more red envelopes, ranging in size from 12 qian to [-] taels, so that everyone can reward them.

The big kitchen of the Lin family was in full swing, and the cooks from the Fang family and the three Lin family were busy with their work, and plates of delicacies were cooked one by one.Twelve women who had been waiting outside filed in and delivered the dishes.Today, the Lin Mansion will also hold a banquet to entertain the groom and the guests sent off by the Lin Mansion for tea and dinner.

Shen Ji was woken up by Gu's mother early in the morning, first took a bath, and then Ban Cui, A Ling and a few big girls sent by Mrs. Lin surrounded her to dress and comb her hair.Her face was already tender enough, but in the end she was flicked by Gu's mother with a stretched cotton thread, and the pain made her almost cry out regardless of her image.
