Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 278 Preparations for the Wedding

The engagement procedures were all completed, and the Liu family naturally wanted to throw a banquet to celebrate.At the banquet, Master Yun Song and Master Liu drank happily, and everyone talked a lot.It was the end of noon.The banquet was over, and the Tong family left.

After the Tong family left, Mrs. Liu called her daughter, "Yuehan, these are gifts from the Tong family. Zheng Guogong also said at the banquet just now that after you get married, you don't need to live with them, just live with them." Just live in the house given by the emperor. This is just right, and you don’t have to set rules in front of your mother-in-law, and you will be more comfortable. After getting married, go to the Duke’s mansion frequently, and don’t let people find faults.”

Yue Han listened to her mother's words and nodded vigorously. "Mother, my daughter knows."

After the engagement, both families got busy.The Fang family sent someone to send a letter to Bilian, and Yanjiang Village also sent someone to tell them that Junwei got married on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

It doesn't matter at Bilian's end, the three sons are not around now, and Xue Jinyu's mother is practicing in a Taoist temple, so it doesn't matter where to celebrate the new year.After receiving Fang's letter, he discussed with Xue Jinyu and decided to go to Beijing with his family to celebrate the New Year in the capital.Now that it's settled, pack up your things quickly and prepare to leave for Beijing. "I shouldn't have come back before I knew it, and I have to go back and forth. Last time I went to the capital, I saw a few houses. This time you go too, let's see which ones are good and buy them." Bi Lian cleaned up. mumbling.

Of course, Jinyu went out to arrange the affairs of the mansion. In the past few days, he had read all the accounts, and all the money from various shops and Zhuangzi had been handed over.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Xue Jinyu led Bilian and Yuxuan from Fucheng to the capital.

On the other side of Yanjiang Village, a letter from the Fang family was also received.But Junwei's wedding date is set on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and rural people will not go out at this time.So Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhang discussed it, and both of them didn't go, but just asked the messenger to take the gift back.In addition, Yunyang and Yunhuai also went to tell them, and naturally no one from these two families went, and let them take the things away.Fortunately, the person who delivered the letter came in a carriage, and he brought a lot of things in the car, which were all prepared by Mrs. Fang for the relatives at home. Now when he went back, he brought a lot of congratulatory gifts.

Yuxian was busy at home with her mother and sister-in-law.The banquet on the wedding day will be held in Yuxian's restaurant, which will save a lot of trouble.Getting married in the capital is not like in Yanjiang Village, where there are so many helpers.There are many families who hold banquets in restaurants, and it's not too ostentatious for the Tong family to do so.

Yuxian has been running to the restaurant frequently these few days, with the shopkeeper and several stewards to finalize the menu for the wedding banquet, and then the stewards began to prepare the materials.

The restaurant has been open for more than half a year, and the profit is very considerable, with a monthly net profit of about 2 taels or even more.Yuxian gave the shopkeeper a few members who are in charge of [-]% of the work. Of course, these few people will try their best to run the restaurant.The shopkeeper of the restaurant, surnamed Jin, is a man about forty years old, and he is very plump and considerate in his work.

"Boss, the shops next to us intend to exchange money. What I mean is, can we sell those shops and expand our restaurant. Now there are often no places in our restaurant, and some customers just Not very satisfied." The treasurer Jin took the opportunity to talk about the expansion of the restaurant.

Yuxian thought about it, and thought it would work, "Uncle Jin, I'll have to trouble you. Find out what price they want, and if it's reasonable, buy it and clean it up again. You don't need to discuss the decoration with me." Well, just follow the style of our restaurant. Generally, Uncle Jin is in charge, and Uncle also owns the shares of the restaurant." There is no doubt about employing people, since you use others, you should delegate all the rights, there is no need to hold all the rights in your hands hold on.Especially since she is a girl, there are many things that should not be revealed.

After hearing this, shopkeeper Jin quickly expressed his opinion: "Since the owner believes in me, Lao Jin, what else do I have to say? Just try our best to make the restaurant well. This year, our restaurant has a good profit, thanks to the recipes from the owner."

Yuxian waved her hand, not wanting to hear these things, "Uncle Jin, without you, how capable would I be in these things? No matter how good the recipe is, it needs the master chefs in the kitchen to be good at it. Is it possible that I can do it myself? Cooking? To be honest, it’s okay if you let me eat, let me cook, it’s no wonder I don’t blow up the kitchen for you.”

The shopkeeper Jin made Yuxian laugh out loud, "The boss is really good at joking, that's all, I'll go to work if I have nothing to do. It's the end of the year now, and many people have come to book a table. It is estimated that we will It won't stop for a few days before we have to open. I discussed with a few managers, and the opening will be on the sixth day of the new year. Many people have already reserved seats, so let's take a few days less rest." After finishing speaking, hurry up I'm out and busy.

Yuxian shook her head, no matter which era, this is the case in the service industry.When others are resting, I am the busiest. Fortunately, I earn a lot of money, and being busy is valuable.Yuxian decided that those who came to work during the first month would be paid double wages, which could be regarded as compensation for others.

After coming out of the restaurant, I went to the fur shop again.Now this shop is already a well-known fur shop in the capital, and it is also famous for its ready-made clothes shop and silk and satin shop.Those five managers were the masters, and they took in a lot of apprentices.It's approaching the Chinese New Year, and every household has to make some new clothes. Many people make clothes in the shop, so the ready-to-wear shop is also very busy.

Some things for Junwei's marriage were made in Yuxian's shop. It has been a long time, and everything that needs to be done has been done.As soon as Yuxian arrived, the steward hurriedly took out all the finished things for Yuxian to see.

Yuxian couldn't help nodding as she looked at these exquisite embroidery. "Mommy Qian, these are really well done, very good. Pack them all up, and I'll send someone to pick them up."

That nanny came out of the palace, and she was only in her forties, and she was still very beautiful. "Boss, come over in a few days and have a look at the accounts. We've had a pretty good year."

Yuxian nodded, indicating that she knew. "Mommy Qian, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first. Thank you Mommy for helping to catch up with the work, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to make these things. Alright, Mommy, get busy."

After coming out of the shop, Yu Xian went straight home.The family is very busy now, Mrs. Fang led the maid and mother-in-law of the family, and has already made all the bedding for Junwei's new house, and they are just waiting to send it to the other end of the house.The rest is waiting to get back the ordered embroidery, and then arrange it in the new house, which is almost the same.

Haoyu sent people to send a lot of congratulatory gifts, including a lot of official kiln porcelain and various ornaments, which are exclusively used in the court and can only be given to close officials.Yuxian doesn't know much about these things, but she also knows that they are worth a lot.The housekeeper was sent to deliver it to Junwei's house in person, and then set it up.Naturally, the emperor also gave gifts, besides the house, he also gave a lot of servants.The rest are like silk and satin, all kinds of porcelain, jade decorations, etc., a total of twenty boxes, which made some ministers in the court look a little jealous.

Xue Jinyu and Bilian came to the capital on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, of course they wanted to visit the Wu family first.After receiving the letter, the Fang family also took the family to Fang Xin's mansion, where the family had a reunion dinner.The Fang family let Bilian live in their own home, the Duke's Mansion is much bigger than Fang's Mansion.

"Sister, both Junye and Junwei of your family have married, but look at my blog post, it's still outside now, I don't know what's going on? Well, I also hope that he can find a wife quickly, I'm so huggable Grandson." Bi Lian is not old, but seeing that her sister has two grandsons and a granddaughter in her family, she will inevitably be concerned.

"You, what are you thinking about? Bowen went to the disaster area, and it was the emperor who valued him. After two years, when he has made some achievements, why don't you just transfer him back? It won't be too late to arrange a marriage for him, after all. There are many good girls in the capital." Mrs. Wu glanced at Bilian.

"Mother, am I just complaining?" Bilian smiled and walked to her mother's side. "You said none of the three children in my family is by my side, so I'm free." This is Bilian's temperament. She has a big heart. If it were someone else, she would have cried a long time ago. I don't know how many times .

After listening to her daughter's words, Wu was also a little sad.As a mother, who doesn't miss her children? "Oh, let me tell you that, I can't help but want to cry. Five of my eleven grandchildren are outside. To be honest, I miss them sometimes. It's good to say A man should aim everywhere, but us elders, how can we rest assured? I still remember when Jun Ye got married and they had a bridal chamber, how lively it was."

Jun Wei heard this from the side, and quickly said: "Grandmother, don't mention this problem, or Yuxian, she can really come again. This is the capital city, not our Yanjiang Village, which caused trouble. If it is too much, it will make people laugh." When Jun Wei thought of his elder brother at that time, he really had lingering fears, he didn't want to experience such a trouble in the bridal chamber.

It's good that Junwei didn't say that, but when it was mentioned, Yuxian remembered it. "Second brother, don't try to run away, you will suffer then."

Junwei hurriedly begged his grandmother and mother to intercede, jokingly, if Yuxian and the others were to make a scene like this, he would probably be ashamed to see those colleagues.Fang smiled and warned Yuxian not to disturb Junwei's bridal chamber, Yuxian pouted and reluctantly agreed.In fact, Yuxian also understands that hers really can't be used in the capital.Yuehan's temperament is better than Xiaotong's, but it's different. If she really makes such a fuss about the bridal chamber, Yuehan probably won't be ashamed to see others.
