Chapter 315

Nanny Li knew that once the lady's wedding date was discussed, the date of marriage would of course be the end of this year and the beginning of next year, so she was anxious about the lady's dowry because she was afraid that the lady would get married in a few months, but No matter how urgent it was, Nanny Li didn't expect such an urgent day, and she was very puzzled.

Huihui was relieved to see that Mammy had such a tone after hearing such explosive news. But it's not good, after all, the person who decides this matter is the emperor, if Mammy said something, it would be a taboo.

Huihui made up her mind, so she picked out some things to say about the gift of marriage to Grandma Li, and at the end, she sighed: "Now that Grandma sees it, what is the plan? I mean, Grandma Now that Mammy is getting older, she doesn't have to worry about coming and going with me, and it happens that I am going to my mother's place in the border town, so Mammy still has nothing to worry about."

Nanny Li felt mixed feelings when she heard Miss's words. After all, it was a bit sudden for her. Protecting the young lady has become her habit, and she said that she wants her to go home, can she not be disappointed? Of course, she knows that the young lady said this is really for her own good, but the unspeakable depression in her heart can only go away if she wants to. not drop.

However, she could still understand what the young lady meant, so Mammy Li took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Mammy really never thought that one day she would be away from the young lady for so long, I think it's better to go with you. As for the taro, don't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Li thought of her young lady's stubborn temper. Since she said what she said, she must have made up her mind. She was afraid that she would still persuade her, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, that's all for now, let's talk about it later, by the way." , the marriage is settled, we haven't made a decision on who will be the lady's dowry, and we don't know how Madam will arrange it? Sigh, the time is still a bit urgent."

Seeing that Nanny Li didn't return to her right away, Huihui hurriedly changed the subject, knowing that Nanny was afraid that she would force her to respond immediately, and that Nanny didn't know that she was just going there for fun. That's all, naturally, he wanted to accompany her to the border town, so that he could see old friends from the past.

Thinking of this, Huihui couldn't help but sigh. According to Li Ruichen, they will probably be stationed in the border town in the future, and returning to Beijing will be indefinitely. Now that the nanny has a complete family business, it doesn't mean that she can leave immediately. She really wanted to keep Mammy, but it was obvious that Mammy didn't mention this, so she couldn't say anything more, after all, she said too much, it seemed that she didn't want Mammy to be with her.

Huihui changed her mind and knew that it was not appropriate to say it at this time, so she followed Mammy's words and said, "It doesn't matter how the arrangements are made, the dowry maids are just a few girls around me, big girl If it's not enough, just lift the lotus up, and as for the accompanying room, I don't need too much, if Mama Bai is willing, I can take her family with me, as long as I still manage the small kitchen in my yard in the future."

Mother Li couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. It's a little less, most people have to bring four rooms to accompany the house, but her lady is good, she only plans to bring one room, it depends on whether Mama Bai is willing, she is really a kind lady of her family, but this is not the case. For those who are willing to go, there is no point in taking them away.

Nanny Li thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's all right, the girl, there are exactly four lotus flowers, but there are fewer companion rooms. Which lady doesn't have a dowry in the Zhuangzi shop, and those Zhuangtou shopkeepers can't do it." It was all done by the ladies who arranged for the companions to take over after they left the house, and the natal family will not take care of it afterward, do you think it is enough for Bai Mama's family?"

Huihui also knew that she must have a Zhuangzi shop as a dowry, but she had already thought about it, and left these things to her brother to take care of it. Yes, how will she be so far away?It's better to just leave it to my brother and get the money when the time comes. Besides, she can't control those accompanying rooms when she leaves, so it's better not to. If I come back in the future, let's talk about it. Take a step back and say, this person is still It's not easy to find, why bother now.

But these words are still difficult to say to the mother, Huihui then smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? Isn't Zhuangzi has Xiangyu to help manage it? She is doing a good job in managing it now. Isn't there brother Qingfeng in the shop?" Because of this, my brother also said that I got a good manager. The mother is at ease, and they are enough. Besides, the Li family is not empty. Our situation is different from other families. There is no in-laws at the top. There are no sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, but Brother Li and I are inside and out, so we can do whatever we want!"

After hearing this, Nanny Li also felt that it was true. There were only the young lady and the uncle in this aunt's house, and there were no contenders in the inner house. Nanny Li felt that it was better not to use it, who knew which one was sincere, so she nodded and said, "That's right, since you think so, Mammy can rest assured, well, other things can't be discussed at once. , it's getting late, go to sleep, tomorrow I have to get up early to welcome the distinguished guests."

After Huihui heard this, she couldn't wait, so she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Well, Mammy is right, then go to sleep." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. To be honest, Huihui felt that it was really stressful to talk to Nanny Li. She was too old and nagging.

The master and the servant both had their own thoughts in their hearts today, and they said to each other that they were asleep, but they stopped talking. Slowly, Huihui first heard the snoring of the mother, and unconsciously opened the corners of her mouth to laugh. Now that she is fat-hearted, no matter how much she thinks about it, she will fall asleep as soon as she sleeps. Inexplicably, Huihui feels very relieved. Hearing the sound of the mother snoring, Huihui, who is always alert when sleeping, can slowly fall asleep.

In this way, even though Huihui's master and servant both went to sleep with their minds on it, it was strange that they were still full of energy the next morning.

In the morning of the second day, because everyone had thought about it the day before, they all got up early and busily waited for the master to wash and groom, preparing for the busyness of today's Jiji ceremony.

Nanny Li was the first one to get up. She didn't have to help the young lady to wash up, so she went back to her own room early. After tidying up, she had to prepare the clothes and jewelry that the young lady would wear that day. Nagging on and on.

Li Ruichen also got up early in the morning, but he got up earlier than usual. He had already practiced. He took the towel handed over by Fang Yi, wiped it briefly, and asked, "What was arranged last night?" Everything is ready? The incense table on the Jiji ceremony is extremely important, there must be no mistakes, even though the people here today are all close friends, they must not lose their courtesy and let others talk about it."

Fang Yi knows who he is going to invite today, in one, the one who needs to be late is the future head of the family, how can he not be careful?Then he hurriedly replied: "Master, don't worry, this is for sure. The little one is watching these things personally, and the ones who are asking for advice are those senior nuns. Those people pay the most attention to etiquette."

After hearing this, Li Ruichen nodded noncommittally, and said lightly: "Well, I'm still relieved when you do things, but today's matter is too important, but you can't make any mistakes. You don't have to follow me later, just pay attention to these things It's gone." Li Ruichen said as he threw the handkerchief in his hand to Fang Yi, and walked into the room, he had to wash up quickly so that he could welcome the guests.Li Ruichen knew that other people might not come early, but his brother-in-law must have arrived early.

Sure enough, Li Ruichen was about to finish his breakfast, and someone outside reported that Mr. Shi had arrived. Li Ruichen hurriedly put down the water for rinsing his mouth, and ordered the servants, 'clean up quickly' and went out.

The uncle Lang and uncle are both impatient. Li Ruichen just walked outside the gate, and Shi Tao was about to dismount. Li Ruichen only glanced at the carriage behind him, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Ziping came early, is the road safe?"

Although Shi Tao said that he felt a little uncomfortable since he found out about the imperial decree granting marriage, but he used to be optimistic about Li Ruichen, and because of this, his uncle Tete came to him and talked about it, and then he thought about it carefully. The imperial decree was not discussed with everyone, but it was only for the sake of my sister's more decent marriage.

In one, although Li Ruichen didn't explain much to everyone about the grace, Shi Tao knew in his heart that brother Li could have asked for other grace that was more beneficial to him at that time, so the resentment towards Li Ruichen in his heart followed these few days The day's thoughts were scattered a lot, and it was right that he could calm down when he saw Li Ruichen again.

Although he was reluctant to part with his younger sister, even if there was no imperial decree for her younger sister, she would still marry, so he calmed down a lot.At this time, Shi Tao didn't have any complaints in his heart. Seeing Li Ruichen coming to meet him in person, he hurriedly got off his horse and replied with a smile: "There is no trouble. I went out of the city yesterday to spend the night at Madam Li's house. I don't need to come here now." Going through the city gate, it’s early, so the journey will be safe.”

In fact, before meeting Shi Tao, Li Ruichen was still a little nervous. After all, the edict was a bit abrupt, and he didn't say anything other than getting angry with his fourth cousin. He knew that he was a little selfish here, so he was afraid Huihui's family prevented him from begging the emperor to set a specific date for marriage, and the second time he asked the emperor to set a specific date for the marriage, he even kept it from Huihui, how could he not feel guilty?

In one, Li Ruichen knew how good brother and sister Shi Tao and Hui Hui were. How could Shi Tao feel better when he knew that his sister was about to marry?However, seeing that Shi Tao could still control the little anger in his heart and still talk to him well, Li Ruichen was even more satisfied with his brother-in-law all of a sudden.
