Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 70
Rui Yi and Rui Ming didn't deal with it very much, but they couldn't help feeling sad when they heard this, and sighed, "Sure enough, all men are the same in this world, so there's no one with deep affection." Suddenly, what Zhou Chenyi said that day came to mind, Marrying her wasn't because she was bad, he didn't say the second part, but Rui Yi knew in his heart, it was just because the Shun'an Hou Mansion couldn't help him, it would only be a burden to him, so he couldn't have her.

So he accepted the Rong family's marriage, and the Rong family's iron-blooded battlefield has elite soldiers, which is a great help to him.

She understands, how could she not understand, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of reading so many books since childhood?
"Children know what love is in every family. Strange couples live a life and wait until their children are in groups, and they will have feelings. A woman's life is not a man, but a child under her knees, and the name of the wife of the house. As long as you I figured it out, what is there to overcome." Ruihua held Ruiyi's hand and looked at her solemnly, "I don't worry about anything else, just one thing, you are always careful and sensitive, afraid that you will see Don't wear it."

Chatting with people who know themselves too well is also a kind of torture, Rui Yi squeezed out a smile and looked at Rui Hua.

"Stop laughing, it's like crying." Ruihua nodded Ruiyi's head pretending to be disgusted.

Rui Yi looked at Rui Hua, "I will remember what Big Sister said."

"It's not in vain that I wasted so much. My mother was worried about you. She sent me a message to let me talk to you more. If you want me to say that there is something in Ruiyi's heart that I don't understand, it is that I can't see it. Just drive, you, just don’t be stupid, it’s not difficult to live a good life with your intelligence.”

"Then I really thank you for looking up to me so much." Rui Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Rui Hua said it was true, as if she was really so powerful.

But this stranger has become a husband and wife, so there is no such thing as a simple husband and wife.

Ruihua is right, she is not only proud, but also arrogant.She has exhausted all her compromises for her marriage before, and if she continues to compromise in the long marriage, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it.

Everyone will say that if you have a knife on your head, you must endure it as a woman and a wife, but if the knife is not cut on someone else, who can feel the pain of others?

Just like Rui Ming, he gritted his teeth and whitewashed the peace. What he was supporting was his own face, and he didn't want to be laughed at.

After the full moon wine, the Marquis of Shun'an began to prepare for Ruilan's marriage.The Zhuo family has already applied for a date, and the date is set in August, the season of fragrant golden osmanthus.

Marrying a daughter is also a cumbersome task. Everything is done on the business trip. The lady is busy with the dowry list and arranging for the "good fortune" to go to the husband's house. The furniture is all packed, but The courtyard that the Zhuo family had agreed to before suddenly wanted to change it to a bigger one.As a result, the size of the furniture that had been measured before would change accordingly. The eldest lady was so anxious that she called the second lady to ask her carefully, but the second lady couldn't tell the reason.

This second lady has done everything right, and she couldn't understand such a thing when asked, so she had to invite a matchmaker, and the eldest lady asked her personally, "Speaking of which, our Ruilan's marriage is due to the lady's errands. It's done, I have to invite you to drink a glass of water and wine as a reward."

There are three matchmakers for marriage, one matchmaker from the man's family, one matchmaker from the woman's family, and an intermediary matchmaker to match the two parties.Today, the eldest lady invited a matchmaker from their side, who is a friend of the second lady. The eldest lady does not have much contact with her, and only in business affairs. This time, when something like this happens, I can only invite her She came and asked.

The second lady's good friend is a lady in charge of the household department named Zhou. The lady Zhou smiled and said to the eldest lady when she heard the words: "These two children are destined, and it makes me very happy to lead this thread for them."

There are a lot of good things to say on the surface. The eldest lady really doesn't like this Mrs. Zhou, and she feels unreliable. Those who go around just refuse to talk about the serious matter, so the eldest lady has to go straight to the center. Looking at her, she said: "I invite Mrs. Zhou to come here today. I really have something to ask you to come. The wedding date has already been set, and it seems that we will get married in less than two months. Back then, you took our family to measure The size of the house has been set, and now suddenly it is said that I want to change the house.” At this point, the lady smiled and said word by word: “If you want to change the house again, you have to measure the size again. The furniture needs to be rebuilt. Firstly, the date is too tight and I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it out. Secondly, it’s not suitable for this matter, right? So it’s like you took the trouble to go and talk to the Zhuo family. It's not a trivial matter, it's not just a change, all the effort is wasted."

"Is there still such a thing?" Mrs. Zhou said in surprise, "Oh, why didn't you tell me about it? It's really shameful. Don't worry, I'll go and ask about it. "

The eldest lady thanked her and sent Mrs. Zhou out in person.

On the second day, Mrs. Zhou sent a letter, saying that the Zhuo family thought the original yard was too small, and they wanted to change to a bigger one for fear of wronging Ruilan.Mrs. Zhuo also said that it turned out that the yard still belonged to their husband and wife, so it didn't get in the way.

Not in the way?

Da Furen was really going to laugh out loud, her feeling was that not only did she have to bring the furniture from the original yard, but she also had to ask the Hou Mansion to fill him with all the furniture in the new yard, it was too deceitful!
According to the rules, when a daughter gets married, she has to bring the furniture with her.The furniture of a yard, the large Babu bed, the Arhat bed, the beauty couch, the piano table, the desk, the table, and the Eight Immortals table are placed on the ground.Top box cabinets, vertical cabinets, bookcases, Duobao Pavilion, etc.Small items such as camphor wood boxes for clothes, dressing tables for dressing, clothes hangers, copper box racks, stools, embroidered piers, etc.An exquisite family, even the daughter's coffin after a hundred years, and the toilet for getting up at night must be fully prepared.

Small things are easy to say, just do whatever you want.But the big ones are different. They are made according to the size of the house provided by the man's family. If they are replaced, the size will not be suitable, and the finished furniture will not be used.

Now the Zhuo family is saying this to show the face of the newlyweds and change to a bigger yard, but in fact they want them to make an extra set of furniture as a dowry.

Asking for the dowry in different ways, this is the first time that the eldest lady has married so many daughters, but her face turned black from anger.

Such a strange thing, even Rui Yi found it inconceivable when he heard about it. After all, it is the General's Mansion, how could such a thing be done.From measuring the size to making the furniture, this is not something that can be done in a few days.For example, most of the furniture in their Hou Mansion has to be made by well-known craftsmen. From the carving patterns, to the style of the furniture, to the wood, they are all high-quality. After all, the daughter is also a decent family when she is married. If you send it to the man's house, you will be laughed at.

Just when the two families were deadlocked over this matter, the Zhu family invited a matchmaker to ask for a date.

Among the four seasons of the year, spring and autumn are the most popular seasons for getting married.Ruilan occupied the autumn, and the eldest lady wanted to let Ruiyi get married in February next year.February is the time when yin and yang are handed over, and the marriage of men and women is like the union of yin and yang, so it is also called "marriage month".The eldest lady explained the meaning tactfully, and the Zhu family over there readily agreed. In this way, the Hou Mansion must immediately send someone to the Zhu family to measure the house and start making furniture. More than half a year of effort is enough to make a whole set of good furniture.

When the person who measured the house came back, but did not come back with the size, the woman in charge reported back: "Master Zhu said that all the furniture in the yard is complete and brand new. The old servant went to see the house in person. One eye-opener is the babu bed surrounded by huanghuali and begonia flowers, with a rolling canopy on the top, steps on the bottom, and a veranda with carved pillars, hanging and leaning on the eaves. There is also a verandah beside the veranda. There is a small cabinet with two drawers and two doors, on which there are hat holders, vases, mirror boxes, tea sets, and lampstands. There is a toilet box on the right, and the bed inside has carved doors, curtains, and pillows. The three sides of the bed are surrounded by Expanding the carved and painted screen, this kind of bed is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, when the curtain is drawn down, you can drink tea in the middle of the night or wake up at night, and you don’t even have to go out of bed. I have been making furniture for the measuring room in Xungui's house, and I have only seen such a luxurious canopy bed in the palace. Just such a bed, I don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources are spent..."

It's just a bed, the woman kept talking, and she drank two cups of tea before stopping.

The eldest lady was silent for a while, and was speechless for a while, before she smiled and said: "This matter is really interesting."

Their family was fighting with the Zhuo family, Zhu Yanzhang came here to join in the fun at this time, such a slap on the face of the Zhuo family was really embarrassing.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, the eldest lady looked at the old woman and said, "In this case, you can tell Miss Jiu about this matter."

The mother-in-law went away happily, the eldest lady sat there and laughed, the furniture doesn't need to be beaten, but what about the wood prepared for Rui Yi?Let her take it or leave it to the new brother?Those lumber were carefully bought over the years, and it was not easy for anyone to buy such a large amount of good lumber all at once.

I don't know if Ruiyi will be so angry that he can't eat anymore after hearing this, the eldest lady also laughed when she thought of this, this Zhu Yanzhang really didn't follow the rules, and unexpectedly messed up.
