wedding dress

Chapter 139
Without saying a word, Qin Lie asked the matchmaker to propose marriage.

Sure enough, he donated a five-rank ranger. The official position is not too big or small. It belongs to the kind that has status, but has no position or salary.This kind of donating officials is everywhere in the capital, most of those who donate officials hope to be able to do something, Qin Lie has a clear goal, donating officials is to marry a wife to look good.This is the same as when Qin Keqing died and Jia Rong donated an official, as if he remembered that he also donated a fifth rank?But his wife died... Pooh, that's unlucky.

Xiaodong felt that all this was changing too fast, as if in a dream.

It's not a dream, everything is real.

King An agreed, and after a series of tedious procedures, the wedding date was set in April next year.Prince An's Mansion began to prepare a dowry for Xiaodong. First of all, the biggest one was a house and several farms.That's right, Qin Lie doesn't have a serious family in the capital, so if he wants to get married, is it possible to have a wedding in the backyard of the treasures of the world?He would not like King An.

But getting married in the house given by King An, isn't Qin Lie...cough, has he become a married couple?
But Qin Lie himself didn't mind, and asked Xiaodong enthusiastically if he wanted to go to the house with her, how the house should be repaired, and how the garden should be arranged. It was a joy, but his enthusiastic suggestion was severely punished by Hu. After pouring a bucket of cold water, Hu's naturally wouldn't let Xiaodong go out with him.Qin Lie then discounted the proposal, and sent a drawing of the house and garden along with it, letting Xiaodong feel picky about making revisions.In fact, Xiaodong already has a copy of the house drawing here, but it is not as vivid as Qin Lie's drawing, it is purely the appearance of the house.Qin Lie can't even draw any trees planted in the garden. The willows and pine trees are clear at a glance, unlike in the blueprint, when it comes to trees, they are represented by a few small XX.

It seems that Qin Lie's carpentry skills are not in vain.

Xiaodong smiled.

What she saw in this picture was not only Qin Lie's exquisite and outstanding painters, but also his longing and expectation for a happy life in the future.

Yes, look forward to it.

Qin Lie's radiant face, his vigor and vigor, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

Is Xiaodong looking forward to it?

It should be said that even if there were expectations, they were oppressed by the tedious and huge pre-marriage preparations.

Xiaodong first read the dowry list that Wang An gave her.As big as a house, as small as a toilet spittoon, it covers everything.No wonder the ancients always said that when a woman gets married with red makeup for ten miles, she even has to lift two red-painted toilets.It is said that some people's mother-in-law's family is close, that is, from the street to the end of the street, so they have to go around the long way, so that half of the city can see the scenery of their own home.

Xiaodong's dowry not only includes what's on the list, but also some things that aren't on the list.

For example, Princess Yao left Xiaodong's private house land deed for jewelry, which was not listed on the dowry list.Zhao Lu also gave Xiaodong a generous amount of make-up, but this Xiaodong was not willing to accept it.

"This is left by concubine Shen to my brother. In the future, my brother will give it to his sister-in-law, and then pass it on to his children and grandchildren."

"Leaving it to me is mine, and I can give it to whomever I like." Zhao Lu's face was dark, not like giving a gift but like robbery: "Could it be that my sister thinks that she and I are not of the same mother and want to have a birth with me?"

"no no."

"Then take it."

Xiaodong lowered his head, his eyes were hot, and his heart was also sore.

Whole the house, build furniture, make jewelry, and make clothes, Xiaodong thought, this is similar to getting married in modern times, buying a house to decorate, buying clothes, and buying a diamond ring—but there is one thing that is not available in modern times, and it is extremely important, that is, servants.

Modern life is convenient, unlike this era, where even emptying the toilet requires a special person to do it.People are needed for shopping, people are needed for cleaning, people are needed for the kitchen, people are needed for the stables, and people are needed even more if there are farms and shops outside.Who said that ancient imperial concubines could embroider, chat, eat and wait to die when they woke up in the morning?There are so many things to do, and personnel transfer is a university question.

These Xiaodongs have not had much contact with them before, and now they are almost systematically learning how to judge a person's ability and conduct, how to employ people, and how to manage money.A qualified housewife must know how much income and expenditure her family has in a year——

Xiaodong was so dazed by all this, she really wanted to say: Girl, I don't want to marry anymore!

Yes, modern housewives also have to take care of the house, how much money the couple earns a month, how much mortgage they have to repay, food money, rice money, electricity, water, gas, telephone, Internet bills, human expenses, and want to squeeze out a little extra money to save financial management.However, compared with what Xiaodong is in contact with now, Xiaodong feels that the modern ones are really too simple - at least it doesn't need to be like now, just remembering people's names is a huge project.

The weather is getting warmer, and I can finally take off my winter clothes and put on spring clothes.The Empress Dowager Shengci sent four more seasoned female officials from the palace to teach Xiaodong how to manage the house, how to manage affairs, arrange cooking, and one full-time to take care of Xiaodong's body.

Not an imperial doctor, this person should be regarded as a nutrition and health doctor, and he specializes in serving women.Xiaodong was controlled from head to toe, when she woke up in the morning, when she went to bed at night, what to eat, how to eat, how much to eat, even washing her face and combing her hair.Xiaodong couldn't help but sigh with emotion—it turns out that the maintenance of ancient women is not inferior to that of modern women. There are also facial masks, massages, and aerobics to help the soft waist and limbs move their muscles and bones to strengthen their bodies.But the name of this gymnastics is better.The one that helps to move the joints is called the round dance, the one that helps the gentle movements adjust the figure is called the sparrow dance, and the other is called the scarf dance, where a handkerchief is used as a prop.

It's a pity that it was not the case when she got started, the handkerchief almost tied her wrists together.

In contrast, embroidering a wedding dress is the easiest job.

From head to toe, from inside to outside, the wedding dress is divided into nine pieces in total, and Xiaodong has to embroider them all by herself.And a pair of pillowcases, a tent, pocket shoes and socks for the groom—

What a huge project.

Of course, some girls' embroiderers are not skilled or do not have time to do it by themselves, and there are also others who embroider it for them. For example, Zhao Zhi's wedding tent was embroidered by several handy maids around her.

Xiaodong let out a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to caress the freshly embroidered flowers and leaves on the embroidery frame.Beside Hongjing remained silent, she picked up the thread and sewed the needle for her.

"The Princess, take a break and have a bowl of tea."

Miss Jiang motioned for the servant girl to bring a tureen over.

Inside is the soup for health and beauty.

Xiaodong looked at the sky outside, and when he was working hard, he didn't realize that the time passed so fast.

She took the gaiwan with clean hands, and swallowed in small mouthfuls.

Miss Jiang looks about thirty, with fair complexion, beautiful features, soft-spoken, and demure and elegant manners.She had been here for quite a while before Xiaodong heard about her real age from other people - fifty years away!
This kind of maintenance skill is really not for bragging. When someone stands in front of you, she is an advertisement for her job.

This must be someone close to the Empress Dowager Shengci.Thinking of the well-maintained face of the Empress Dowager Shengci, which still looks charming and charming now, Xiaodong learned it seriously and willingly.

It is not as easy for Qin Lie to sneak over the wall to find Xiaodong now. The main reason is that Xiaodong is extremely busy, and there are many people around him at all times. He went out of the window twice, but he had no chance to come in. He just talked to Xiaodong through the window. After saying a few words, he left.Once Hu Shi, Wu Di, and Miss Jiang were standing outside the screen, Qin Lie even opened the window a crack, and stuffed a handkerchief bag for Xiaodong.

It was bulging in the handkerchief, Xiaodong didn't dare to look at it at the time, and shook it open to look at it when the tent was lowered at night.

A tangy fruity aroma.

Inside was actually a papaya, a peach, and a plum.

Xiaodong was startled for a moment, then he felt sorry, and smiled silently while holding the handkerchief bag.

It's rare that he didn't like reading very much, but he put this learning into practice.

The fruit was placed next to the pillow, as if she could smell a sweet fruity fragrance in her dreams.

Then the next day Xiaodong took a jade ring, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and handed it to Qin Lie through the window.

After Qin Lie took it, the two were separated by the window.Although Xiaodong couldn't see it, he could imagine that Qin Lie must be carefully opening the handkerchief bag and holding the jade ring - he must be smiling.Xiaodong pursed her lips slightly, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Obviously there is no wind in the room, but the heart is like the surface of water blown by the wind, with subtle and gentle ripples.

"Xiaodong."

"Ok?"

"You open the window."

"No."

"I'll just look at you."

His tone was indescribably gentle, like honeydew collected in early summer, contained in a glass bottle, reflecting a soft and bright amber-like luster.Slow and smooth when poured.

Such a mellow and magnetic voice made Xiaodong's legs tremble slightly.

Qin Lie begged for a few more words, Xiaodong was no longer so persistent—it was a pity that I was not allowed, and Mrs. Hu brought tea in.

Xiaodong hurriedly sat down, picked up the account book and looked through it, acting as if nothing had happened, but unfortunately his cheeks were still slightly hot.

Mrs. Hu glanced at her, put down the tea tray and walked to the window, coughed lightly, opened the window and looked out.

It was empty outside and everything was normal.

Mrs. Hu closed the window and brought tea to Xiaodong.

Xiaodong picked up the teacup, and peeked at Hu's expression from the rim.

Hu coughed just before opening the window, what does that mean?

But with Xiaodong's courage, she dared not ask Mr. Hu this question.

There are so many things that Xiaodong has no time to worry about fear and loss.

However, when she lay down at night and was quiet, she would also think about the future.

Still not real.

Are you really about to get married?

Marry Qin Lie and live together for the rest of your life?

Take care of housework, and in the future, will have children...

Uh……

Xiaodong touched her belly and her chest, she is still underage now, things like having a baby... Cough, let's talk slowly, don't rush it for a while.

And...she didn't even know if she could get used to sleeping on the same bed with someone else——

After getting married, the environment has been changed since then, and the way of life has also been completely changed.

Some people say that a woman getting married is like reincarnating for the second time.

When the weather is fine, the Hu family will occasionally give Xiaodong a break.

Xiaodong secretly played on the swing once.

The swing is not high, the slightly hot wind blows on the face, and the sound of cicadas near and far is filled in the ears.

Eyes narrowed, leaving only a slit, watching the scenery in front of him change up and down.

One is the blue sky and the other is the green land.

One more look at the blue sky, and then...

A pair of boots appeared in front of him.
