Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 443 Madam Teng and Madam Xue

After Dayu finished speaking, he signaled Xiyuan to hand over the reward envelope. Gao Matchmaker weighed it quietly, then immediately smiled and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Elder, for the reward." Then he blurted out another string of auspicious words, "A match made in heaven, the harp and the harp , talented and beautiful..." After a long while, she spoke happily, and finally said the key sentence, "On the [-]th, your mansion sent someone to make the bed at the door, and at noon on the [-]th, Master Ouyang came to greet him personally."

Everyone agreed that because the woman did not have an elder to accompany the banquet, Gao Matchmaker and the others returned the gift and said goodbye early. When Ouyang walked to the corridor, he met Xinger who came out with a smile on his body, and stuffed a small note in his hand .

When he opened it to read, there were only a few words, "There is no gift at the entrance, is it enough for me alone?" It was not a beautiful handwriting, but it was very familiar to him. Turning around and looking at the second floor, behind the transparent window, he really stood. After meeting the woman he fell in love with deeply, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, nodded slightly, without saying anything.

Xiaoan took Xifu and the others together and began to sort out the dowry gifts. Just now, because of returning the gift, he opened the food box and brought back half of it to the man. The remaining six boxes have not been opened yet.

Xihua has a childish temper, so she ran over first, and opened the lids of the boxes one by one. Among the six boxes, two were filled with high-quality brocades, eight pieces of silver silk brocade, eight pieces of makeup brocade, and eight pieces of flowing colorful dark flower brocade. , Haze and five-color brocade, eight pieces, a total of 32 pieces.Two of them are decorated with decorations, a pair of sea animal smokers made of gold threads, and a pair of emerald jade unicorns.The last two are jewellery, four sets of red gold headpieces, two sets of ruby ​​headpieces, and two sets of sapphire headpieces.

Dayu secretly estimated that the whole set of betrothal gifts would cost about 5000 taels of silver, which is not rich and novel, but it is not considered frivolous either. They lived in the valley for a long time and knew the situation in the valley. He also listened to a few sentences from the side, and he was very clear about Master Ouyang's wealth. Today's dowry was considered to be within his means, and he was very happy in his heart.

Xiao An and the others entered the account book, tidied up the box, carried it to the side of the hall, and waited for his wife to put it away when she was free.

The flood receded for more than a month, and the exchanges between the various cities gradually resumed. The number of passers-by and vehicles on the official road increased every day. I heard that this Xianjia Town was built with money from Mrs. Xian, and they would stop here when they passed by. Take a short break, or order a few simple dishes, or live in the backyard when it is getting late, waiting for dawn to enter the city.

Everyone has curiosity, so there are always people who have eaten and settled down, want to see the appearance of the legendary Tianwu, and rush to the vicinity of the villa in groups, but they dare not go forward to disturb Muai One family, but Mu Ai felt displeased with being surrounded by people like this, so he moved the villa again and again, and finally moved it to a forest at the bottom of the mountain, only the roof of the villa was faintly exposed in the treetops, so people couldn't see it when they saw it. Clear, but more and more mysterious.

However, in this way, it is also far away from the town, and there are few people disturbing it on weekdays. When Ouyang and others came to send the job, although they passed by the inn, the townspeople saw it, but because no news came out, no one thought it was Mrs. Xian Wanting to get married, I thought it was some maid in the city who wanted to marry Mrs. Xian, who climbed high branches, and merchants who took a break in the inn, and those with quick brains were also tempted.

When Ouyang and his party came out, they did not dare to stop Ouyang from talking, but they grabbed Gao Matchmaker and asked with a smile, "This aunt is so happy, but she has a good red line?"

Although Gao Matchmaker was so happy that she wished she could stand on the city wall and preach to the people in the city, she also kept in mind the condition of the 100 taels of thanks for the matchmaker gift, so she didn't dare to say anything nonsense, and only used clichés to perfunctory her. "Of course, my Aunt Gao is well-known in the south of the city. As long as the red line I lead is in harmony with each other, brother, if you have anything to do, please go to Hujia Lane in the south of the city to find me, and I promise to handle it satisfactorily for you."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to be afraid that she would not be able to control her mouth, and ran away like a fly. The guest was stunned, and half angrily snorted, "You look so crazy, even if you have a marriage, you can't come to the door!" The other guests in the inn laughed.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the day of the [-]th, and after breakfast, at the end of the day, the four maids, Xiaoan, Xifu, Xiyuan, and Xichun, wore concubine-colored slanted cardigans on the upper body, light yellow horse-faced skirts on the lower body, and big flowers. Lilies are embroidered on the placket and skirt, adding three points of joy, beads are decorated on the head, and twisted silver bracelets are worn on the hands, the same dress, but they are either stable, playful, or delicate, and they are all different. If it wasn't for the maid's hair style, everyone would think that she was a lady when she went out.

Because Xihua is young and loves to joke, Xiaoan left her at home to serve his wife, so she couldn't go to make the bed to watch the fun, so she pouted aggrievedly, but she also knew that today's important events were important, so she took the account book and counted everything to take away objects.

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, eight large nanmu boxes were carried into the car, and a few servants from all over the world drove and guarded them. Xiao'an and the others sat in that special large carriage, and walked out of the yard surrounded by shrubs. After passing by, he went to the official road and entered Rongcheng.

A few days ago, Mu Shiqi selected a "Madam Quanfu" in the city, and came to the door with a generous gift, saying that she would help make the bed today. The wife's family name is Teng, because her parents, in-laws, husband, gentleman, and children are complete, and her temperament is gentle and virtuous. Yes, I am often entrusted by people on weekdays, so I readily agreed.

Xiao An and the others arrived outside the lady's courtyard by car. Just as they got off the station, they saw a slightly fat woman walking out of the courtyard. She had a very gentle face, and she was from a well-to-do family.

Xiao An Xifu and the others stepped forward to salute, and then said with a smile, "I'm going to trouble Mrs. Teng today."

Mrs. Teng is not stupid either, just glanced at the clothes and jewelry of Xiao An and the others, and then looked at their manners when they saluted, she knew that they were definitely not the maids of ordinary people, so she didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, laughing Then I returned a half salute.

Xiao An and the others avoided, and then invited her and the little girl who followed them into the car.This carriage was specially built by Mu Ai for travel. It is different from ordinary carriages. Not to mention that the carriage is very spacious, and the objects are also placed differently.

Xiao An let Mrs. Teng sit at the main seat, then reached out and put down the small table that was leaning against the wall of the car, opened the side panel, and took out a small steaming teapot and several plates of snacks.

Mrs. Teng couldn't help looking around curiously for a moment, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao'an, this carriage is really exquisitely made. I wonder which old shop it is from?"

Xiao An smiled slightly, poured warm tea, handed it with both hands, and said, "This is made by our wife elsewhere. I really don't know where it is. If Mrs. Teng wants to order one, I will definitely ask some questions when I go back. sentence."

Mrs. Na Teng waved her hands and said with a smile, "I just looked curious and asked a few casual questions."

Xiaoan found some interesting things in the city and chatted with Mrs. Teng, but it was a pity to see the little girl who followed Mrs. Teng in the car, always peeking at the snacks on the plate and swallowing, thinking of these snacks, she usually took them and ate them up Feet, I didn't think it was expensive, but when I compared it at this time, I felt lucky. I worked as a maid with a good master, and my food and clothing were three points better than ordinary girls.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the little girl was pitiful. She stretched out her hand and opened a hidden compartment, took a few pieces of water chestnut cake and Changbai cake, wrapped them in a moon-white cotton veil, and quietly stuffed them to the little girl. .

The little girl was startled, and when she looked up and saw the kindness in Xi Yuan's eyes, she blushed, hesitated for a moment, finally reached out to take it, and quickly put it in her arms.

Rongcheng is prosperous, and there are many merchants and pedestrians on the street. The people from Wuhu carefully drove the carriage, walked around a few quiet streets, and finally turned into the Xiangqili Hutong in the south of the city after burning incense.

They came to explore the road a few days ago, so they are very familiar with this alley, which is famous for its scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. When they entered the alley, there were no more than five houses, and the carriage stopped. A group of naughty boys in the valley were squatting by the door to play. , Seeing the car arriving, he ran to the back to report the letter, and within a short while, five or six young daughter-in-laws dressed in festive clothes came out to pick them up.

Xiao An Xifu and the others got out of the car first, because everyone in the valley got along well that day and they were very familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite, they directly helped Mrs. Teng down, went into the yard, bypassed the screen wall, and sat down in the main hall.

Mrs. Teng took the guest seat, Xiao An and others respectfully accompanied her, and the young daughters-in-law also refused to sit in the host seat. Mrs. Teng drank tea and thought to herself that there were no elders in the husband's family who would accompany her. The female relatives seem to be of low status, could it be that the one who married was a widower?

Just as he was guessing, a man in white turned out from the screen wall, followed by a gorgeous woman in a silver-red dress. Behind the woman were two little maids in green clothes. They entered the main hall in a blink of an eye. The man in white smiled. He greeted Mrs. Teng, then introduced the woman in silver and red, and said, "Our boss... um... Our boss asked me to pass the message for him. There are no female relatives in the mansion, so I have neglected Mrs. Teng, so I specially invited you Mrs. Xue from the Xue Family Teahouse in the city is accompanying me, and I hope Mrs. Xue doesn't mind, and if you have something to do, just ask the servants."

Mrs. Teng stood up quickly, and greeted Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Xue was very straightforward, and smiled back, then stepped forward and took Mrs. Teng's hand to sit down, and said with a smile, "I can get to know Elder Sister Teng today, little sister I am happy in my heart, no one in this city knows that Sister Teng is a rare and blessed person, it is really the right time for my sister to come here today, not to mention the happiness of a newcomer, but also the blessing of Sister Teng."

Although Mrs. Teng was often praised by others, it was the first time that she was so enthusiastic and direct. She blushed and said a few words of humility, but she inevitably had a good impression of Mrs. Xue in her heart.

Then Mrs. Xue was a delicate character, she chatted with Mrs. Teng, and praised Xiao An and the others for their stability and generosity, not even the little daughters-in-law, and said that the embroidery work on their dresses was rare in the world.

While listening to Mrs. Xue talking and laughing, Xiao An searched secretly in her mind. It seemed that Mrs. Xue had heard of it somewhere. Later, Mrs. Teng asked about the business of the teahouse, and she suddenly remembered that when the young masters came back from the city, He told his wife what he had seen and heard in the city, and he mentioned this Xuejia teahouse, which seemed to have something to do with Jianghu.

　Haha, broke the news, last night my husband made progress and bought me dumplings and fish-flavored pork shreds, which are better than last year’s instant noodles. I was thinking, maybe he should be able to learn romance after 20 years of progress like this. Unfortunately, at that time I am so old that my teeth have fallen out, haha, thank you friends for supporting the original version, and continue to work hard to write about weddings! ! ! !
