From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 757 Big Marriage IV

Wen Ruyan is not a person who doesn't know what is good or what is bad, as soon as she heard this, she knew that Mei Xin had really accepted her.Grateful and joyful in her heart, she nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I know your father's temper. I will be patient with him, and I will do my best to treat him well and take care of him."

She has been waiting for more than ten years, not to mention that she is married to him now, she is not in a hurry, and she has already thought about it before marrying in, and is mentally prepared.Therefore, she is not afraid, even if Mei Zhannan's heart is made of stone, she will warm him up.

With her words, Mei Xin was completely relieved, took a rectangular brocade box from Yuan Muqiu, she opened it directly and put it in front of Wen Ruyan, saying: "But all the daughters of the Mei family and the elders of the Yan family will wear a belt There are plum blossom hairpins with their names, or gold or silver, jade or wood, and different materials and shapes, but they all look like plum blossoms. The same is true for the brides of the Mei family. The elders will send plum hairpins on the wedding night to show their love The love and approval of the bride."

He picked up the hairpin and showed it to her. The character Nan was engraved on the tip of the hairpin.It was so small that it could not be seen unless you looked carefully. It was the last letter of her father's name, and this hairpin with the character "South" and the unique mark of Prince Liang's residence was also a symbol of Princess Liang's status.

Wen Ruyan had heard of this rule more than once, and had seen plum blossom hairpins on the heads of the second wife, third wife, and fourth wife of the Mei family, but she never thought that she had one too, and it was still so beautiful.

Looking carefully, she found that the plum blossom hairpin in front of her was bigger than the plum blossom hairpin she had ever seen before, and the color was relatively red, and it was inlaid with gemstones. She asked in puzzlement: "I saw the second lady at a banquet. The plum blossom hairpin on the head seems to be different, it is only the size of a pigeon's egg, this one seems to be bigger."

Nodding "Yes", Mei Xin answered her questions and said: "Everyone knows that the daughters of the Mei family are born with arrogance and will not enter the harem and not be concubines, but they don't know that this is a reward for the daughters of the Mei family by Emperor Cheng Yuan, and it is also the daughter of the Mei family who An honor earned."

The daughter of the Jiangmen tiger, the daughters of the Mei family have fought on the battlefield from generation to generation.Therefore, Emperor Chengyuan specially gave plum hairpins a hundred years ago to reward the daughter of the Mei family for being brave and good at fighting.

Wen Ruyan didn't know what happened 100 years ago. Looking at her curiously, Mei Xin continued: "Most of the men of the Mei family died in battle, and many of the daughters-in-law of the Mei family were widowed at a young age. Goodness, there are many widows in the Mei family, and in order to show the emperor's kindness, it was decreed that no one except the Mei family should wear plum hairpins. Therefore, the plum hairpins of the Mei family are not the same. Most of the daughters-in-law use red, but the shade of red is not the same, and the status is different, so the shape of the plum blossom hairpin is naturally different."

Although the second aunt does not belong to the direct branch of the undivided family, let alone she is not a princess, so naturally she can only wear plum hairpins the size of pigeon eggs.

Wen Ruyan understood, it was like the concubine system in the harem.The empress wears the Jiufeng hairpin, and the concubines are ranked down according to their status. No matter how favored the concubine is, even the imperial concubine cannot wear the Jiufeng hairpin.

Seeing that she understood, Mei Xin said again: "Originally, my grandmother was supposed to wear this hairpin for you, but she was ill, and she was resting in the family temple and couldn't come back even after your wedding. So, I came here to give it to you. Let my father wear it for you, I hope you will like it."

After finishing speaking, she handed the plum hairpin in her hand directly to her.

Taking it with both hands, Wen Ruyan couldn't help but said excitedly: "I like it, I like it, there are 1 likes, there is nothing I like more than this hairpin. Xin'er, thank you, thank you you!"

She has never lacked a hairpin since she was a child, but this plum blossom hairpin made her miss her heart, and she also wore it carefully like a treasure.

Mei Xin saw that the expression on her face with tears in her eyes didn't look like she was pretending at all, she felt very at ease, and said with a slight smile: "Just like it, although the style wasn't chosen by my father, it was drawn by him in the past. It is also his favorite plum blossom."

The painting is in Liangzhou, in the General's Mansion, so she thought for a long time before drawing it little by little, which is probably her wish.

Touched and warmed by Mei Xin again, Wen Ruyan suddenly reached out and hugged her.But it was only for a moment, and she let go immediately after a moment.

Embarrassed but touched, she didn't know how to express it. With tears in her eyes, she tightly held the hairpin in her hand and said to Mei Xin, "Thank you, thank you!"

Mei Xin was stunned by the unexpected hug, but she soon regained her composure.With a faint smile, she supported the table and stood up. She subconsciously touched her bulging belly and said, "Borrowing my godmother's words, you don't have to be polite and don't keep saying thank you. These are what I should do. Well, the time is different." It's early, and the banquet in the front yard is about to end, I don't want to tell you more because I still need to drink medicine."

Turning around, she called the four servant girls who were waiting outside the door to come in, and she went on to say: "The names of the maidservants in the four rooms at home are chunxiaqiudong, and the names of the main yard are chunzi. Daddy said Zhilanyushu is quite good, so I will give it to you." They named them Chunzhi, Chunlan, Chunyu, and Chunshu. If mother feels bad, she can..."

"Okay, okay, Zhilan Yushu, I like it very much." Aiwu and Wu, but she likes everything Mei Zhannan likes.

Even though her reaction was expected, Mei Xin was still a little speechless, and said with a sweet smile: "The four of them are about the same age and are all born to the Mei family, with different personalities. If you don't like your mother, you can..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted again, and Wen Ruyan said eagerly: "No, they are very nice, I like them very much."

There are many maids in the family, and she has seen all kinds of maids with all kinds of temperaments, and just now from their every move, every word and deed, she can see that Prince Liang's mansion has strict rules, and Mei Xin manages the family well.

This time Mei Xin was completely speechless, she raised her hand to signal them to get up and then said: "I don't know if mother has something to say, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

She is the head of the inner house of Prince Liang's mansion, and the people below all watch her do things.Therefore, in front of the servant girl, she still had to give Wen Ruyan enough face.

Wen Ruyan, who grew up in the back house, understood this truth by herself. Seeing her salute, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather. Watch your feet. You are heavy right now. Go back and rest earlier."

Smiling slightly, Yuan Muqiu stepped forward to support her, and immediately said: "Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of the eldest princess."

"Thank you!" Wen Ruyan was overjoyed as she raised her foot to send the two of them out the door.

Chun Shu took away the food box and empty bowl, and Chunzhi stepped forward to salute, "Princess, the lord is coming back soon, why don't you take a bath and change clothes first?"
