Chapter 185 Marriage (1)

While talking, he was about to turn around and go out.I didn't want to but was stopped by Murong Huaide, and said with a smile, "The water in this capital is too deep, it's not good for you to break into other people's mansions by yourself. Why don't I send someone to take my name card and ask about it in private? There will be news in a few days."

Dong Ping was overjoyed, and quickly thanked, "Then I will trouble brother-in-law."

Dong Rong saw that her husband was looking at her sourly, and suddenly remembered the three-day car ride with Jin Beiwang, so she got up and shouted outside, "Zizhu, Yiba, lunch is not ready yet. Don’t you forget that roast beef with potatoes, the prince loves it.”

It was rare for Murong Huaide to enjoy his daughter-in-law's favour, so he couldn't help laughing "puchi", which made Dong Rong immediately annoyed, and glared, "What are you laughing at, it's fine if you don't eat!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving Murong Huaide laughing and Dong Ping confused...

Madam Yang rested at home for a few days, and visited a few families with whom she had become friends. Yang Wanyin was very good-looking, so it was inevitable that people would ask about the marriage, so Madam Yang naturally had to explain a few words.The female family members of a rich family are all self-cultivated and scheming, even if they are suspicious, they will not say much, but there is a concubine of a family who has been spoiled by pampering and is slow to speak euphemistically. Is there a secret disease in not marrying? Madam Yang was so angry that she directly said that she would invite someone to drink her daughter's wedding wine soon.

Dong Rong accepted Mrs. Yang's invitation to bring her three daughters to visit, and she smiled and asked Zizhu and Yiba to prepare banquets and snacks. At the end, she asked Dong Ping not to go out that day if there was no important business. The young lady obviously came here to see her sister-in-law, how could she disappoint them?

What's more, her younger brother is a good-looking talent, and he is a first-class good man wherever he is placed. She can't wait to show off to the world, so naturally she is not afraid of their admiration.

On the day when Mrs. Yang visited, although it was very warm, the sky was extremely gloomy. Dong Rong guessed that it was a sign of snowfall, so she called Liu Sandong and arranged for him to take people to buy more meat and charcoal for storage.Not to mention the rise in prices after the snow falls, there may be insufficient supply.

Just after finishing these tasks, Mrs. Yang arrived with her three daughters.Dong Rong personally went to the Chuihua Gate to pick them up, even though she is a princess now, she still regarded herself as a junior, calling each of her teachers and mothers, which made Mrs. Yang extremely happy.Even the two sisters of the Yang family who followed with picky minds also showed a smile, secretly wondering where the rumors came from. They really wronged this generous and hearty Princess Zhongshan.

After Dong Ping was dressed in a new quilted brocade robe and a golden crown, he tidied everything up neatly and came in to salute. The two young ladies of the Yang family smiled completely, and their eyes glanced back and forth between the younger sister and the younger sister-in-law from time to time. , Dong Ping and Yang Wanyin were so ashamed that they blushed.

Mrs. Yang glared at the two older daughters reproachfully, and finally pulled Dong Ping to say a few words before letting him go.

Dong Rong saw that it was almost noon, so she ordered Zizhu to fix the banquet, the host and four guests did not go to the living room, and just sat on the soft couch in the living room and started the banquet.

Yang's mother and daughter were very happy that the host's family did not regard themselves as outsiders, and they were very close when talking and laughing during the dinner.After Zizhu sent a jar of sweet peach blossom wine, three or five cups to drink, the words were even more unrestrained.Yang Wanyin couldn't drink much, but after drinking a glass of fruit wine, her little face turned pink, it was three points more beautiful than a peach blossom.

Dong Rong liked her gentle and unassuming temperament, so she personally made some sweet and sour cold dishes for her, hoping to relieve the hangover and save the girl from feeling uncomfortable in her stomach.Unexpectedly, Yang Wanyin hugged her arm, and whispered that she wanted to ask her sister for advice, and learn a few dishes and snacks that her future husband-in-law would like to eat.

The younger sister-in-law started thinking about taking care of her younger brother's appetite before they even got through the door. As an older sister, Dong Rong was naturally happy, and after she agreed, she would send Zizhu to teach her how to cook some simple side dishes that suit Dong Ping's taste for half a day every two days.At the end, she even took Mrs. Yang's hand and praised, "Master, thank you for giving birth to Wanyin. My brother Ping's marriage to her is really a thousand feet of merit accumulated in the previous life."

Mrs. Yang laughed heartily, and replied, "Brother Ping also often said how you protected him when he was young, and when Wanyin marries, you will teach her as your own daughter. If you make mistakes, just beat and scold her. I don't feel bad."

Dong Rong pretended to be pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh, the teacher's wife keeps her word. I'm pregnant, but I have a bad temper recently, and I just need someone to vent my anger. It seems that Wanyin should be married sooner!" "

Mrs. Yang immediately hugged her little daughter and said in horror, "Oh, then let them get married after you give birth to the little prince."

Everyone laughed, and the room became even more lively for a while.Just like that, the banquet took a full hour before it was removed, and finally everyone drank a bowl of hangover tea and chatted for a while, and Mrs. Yang was about to take her daughters to leave.

Dong Rong called Zizhu and Yiba to bring three exquisitely carved nanmu boxes, and said with a smile, "Master, brother Ping brought some preserved eggs from his hometown a few days ago, and the prince gave half of them to the palace to honor the sage. There are thirty or fifty leftovers, just to make a side dish for Mr. Yang and the elders of the two sisters’ families, and I hope that the teacher’s wife and the two sisters don’t dislike the crude things in the country.”

Hearing these words, before Mrs. Yang could speak, the faces of Eldest Sister Yang and Second Sister Yang showed surprise.Regardless of whether the food in this box is delicious or not, as long as you take it back and tell your parents-in-law that the other half may be on the emperor’s dining table, your parents-in-law will be overjoyed, and they will naturally be able to straighten their waists in front of their mother-in-law’s family up.

Mrs. Yang glanced at her two daughters, sighed, but thanked Dong Rong with a smile on her face.Everyone went out of the main courtyard together, and when they were about to reach the Chuihua Gate, Murong Huaide also brought Dong Ping to see them off.This was enough face for the mother and daughter of the Yang family, and Mrs. Yang was so flustered that she tried her best to refuse.Murong Huaide exchanged some pleasantries, and finally said that he would visit Mr. Yang tomorrow to discuss the wedding date of the two young children, and then returned to the study by the same route.

The mother and daughter of the Yang family finally took their leave happily in the carriage. Dong Ping hurriedly helped his sister who looked tired, and said, "Sister, you are tired again."

Dong Rong patted his hand with a smile, and comforted, "This is a major event in your life, and you should be tired."

The siblings went back to the backyard while they were talking, each resting quietly.

On the second day, Murong Huaide brought a set of the Four Treasures of the Study to meet Mr. Yang as a meeting ceremony. The two of them didn't know how to negotiate, and unexpectedly set the wedding date in half a month.The date is a bit urgent, Dong Rong originally had some objections, but when she heard her husband talk about the Queen Mother's health, she quickly put aside her complaints and immediately started preparing to marry her sister-in-law.Da Qi Lv wrote it clearly, the Queen Mother died, and Da Qi could not get married within half a year.She didn't want her younger brother to push back the wedding date again and again. Although the time was a bit rushed, she still wanted to marry him back quickly to purify her heart.

Murong Huaide took Dong Ping to find a suitable courtyard that afternoon, while Dong Rong took a group of maids and servants to buy various things.Xu Shizhong really coveted the 100 taels of hard work offered by the palace, but within two days they found a suitable courtyard.

There are only two entrances in the small courtyard. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs and is very elegantly built. It is more than enough for a newly married couple.The most important thing is that this place is not far from the other courtyard where Dong Rong lived before, it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage, and even if you want to go to the palace, it only takes two quarters of an hour, which is very convenient.

Regardless of Murong Huaide's objection, Dong Rong insisted on taking a carriage to the small courtyard to have a look around, and then happily asked Sun Sandong to quickly find a craftsman to repaint the interior and exterior, and take care of some messy flowers and trees.In the end, he took his younger brother and pointed to it and said that a big screen would be added, and a high stool would be placed in the corner.

Seeing his lovely wife being so excited, Murong Huaide really couldn't bear to remind her that the wooden utensils and decorations in the yard should be bought by the woman according to the rules, the man doesn't need to bother at all.

Fortunately, there was still a silly girl named Yiba. As soon as Dong Rong finished speaking, she asked in amazement, "Ma'am, isn't the Yang family preparing these things? Could it be that her family is even reluctant to give these things to women?"

Dong Rong was stunned for a long time before she realized that when she married into Cao's family, she was basically sold out, not to mention decorating the house, she didn't even have a single new dress, so she didn't even have a single piece of clothing. I know that there are still rules about marriage.

Dong Ping was so thoughtful that he almost immediately thought of the reason why his sister was like this, so he hurriedly remedied, "The escort from the Yang family is from Wanyin, and what my sister prepared is my family's wealth. too much."

Dong Rong really laughed when she heard this, nodded her younger brother's forehead and said, "You greedy boy, don't you think money is too much money? Since the marriage rules are like this, we don't want to break them casually. In case the Yang family thinks It’s not good for us to show off on purpose.”

After finishing speaking, she turned to her husband again, half wronged and half begging, "Husband, can you find a woman who is familiar with marriage rules to stay with me for a few days, so that I won't make a joke and embarrass the palace."

Murong Huaide naturally responded with all his mouth, and the order was passed on, and everyone returned to the palace. Before they could rest for an hour, the old wife of an old shopkeeper surnamed Qi was taken to the main courtyard.

This Mrs. Qi has three sons in her family, all of whom are married and have children now, so she is not only very familiar with the rules of marriage, but also very experienced in childbirth.In addition, she has an amiable temperament, and she speaks in a slow and soft voice, which is very funny, and she almost casts Dong Rong's temper as soon as they meet.

The two were talking while drinking tea and snacks. Madam Qi would tell jokes about a certain family in the city when they got married from time to time, which made Dong Rong very amused and giggled from time to time.

Murong Huaide was originally worried that his wife would not like it, but as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard laughter from the room, so he ordered Zizhu who trotted over to take care of him carefully, and then went out to Xiaoyi Garden.

Mr. Feng didn't know if he was hit by Princess Liu's unexpected death. Since then, he has never set foot in the palace and has been living in Xiaoyi Garden.Now Dong Ping is going to get married, but the Dong family has no elders in the capital, so they just invited the master to sit in the small courtyard.
