Chapter 80 Shi Niang (Part 1)

Not long after eating the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings, people from the Wang family came to offer employment.

Thirty-six loads of clothes, gold goose, wine and tea leaves were filled, which attracted the neighbors to come out to watch. The eldest lady felt that it was very honorable, and Weng Gu returned the groom's shoes, socks and robes.

When the second wife came back from Shandong to have a drink, the third wife couldn't help but sigh to her: Brother Xing is a concubine, one son-in-law is a juren, and the other son-in-law is the eldest son of the Duke's palace. The eldest sister-in-law is really good in life.

After hearing this, the second wife couldn't help laughing and said: Our Qiniang's marriage is not bad. Nine out of ten acres of land in Gaoqing belong to the Zhu family, and seven out of ten shops belong to the Zhu family. Although my mother-in-law belongs to Mr. Zhu

The biological mother was supported by a concubine. She had no confidence in what she said, and there was no sister-in-law. She was a good family that was difficult to find even with a lantern at the door.

The third wife could not help but curl her lips.

The second wife is short-sighted. Money is a dead thing, but talent is a living thing. If a family like them doesn't produce a Jinshi master, no matter how much the family fortune is, it will gradually decline.

But she also knows that her second sister-in-law is very strong. Saying this will only offend her. Besides, Qiniang's marriage has already been decided.

She smiled and invited the second wife to see Shi Niang: I heard that no one wants to see a real woman change her life, and such a fearless person will be shy.

The second wife smiled and nodded, said hello to the eldest wife who was busy entertaining guests, and went to the backyard with the third wife.

On the way, she asked the third wife in a low voice: There are some things I can’t ask my sister-in-law. I heard that the eleventh mother is going to marry Mr. Hou. Is it true?

Even you have heard about it, which is equivalent to admitting it in disguise.

What's going on? The second wife stopped and started talking to the third wife on the corridor. No one said anything to me. I'd better listen to our master. She said that the Queen Mother was going to marry the Yang family of Jianninghou.

The eldest daughter was betrothed to the Marquis, but the Xu family said that she had already been engaged to our eleventh mother. The master was extremely anxious at that time, and he didn't know how it got involved with our family, and he was afraid that the family would be dragged down by this matter.

I was about to write a letter back to ask my uncle, but I heard that there was no such thing at all. The emperor wanted to betroth the eldest daughter of the Yang family of the Marquis of Jianning to the third young master of the Tang family of the Marquis of Zhongshan. The one on the left, the one on the right,

I'm not sure. When I came back this time, the master specially ordered me to ask my sister-in-law what was going on.

The third wife told the second wife what she had heard: It was said that the eldest lady of the Yang family of Marquis Jianning was not young, and she was afraid that she would not find a suitable one. The queen mother had this intention and wanted to harmonize the Yang family.

Xu family. Somehow, the emperor knew about it. He said that although the eldest lady of the Yang family was not young, she did not need to be a Jixian. He asked the Zongren Mansion to keep it in mind. The Zongren Mansion recommended Zhongshan

The emperor fell in love with Tang Shaohua, the third young master of the Hou family, and married him on the spot. The first person he liked was Mr. Hou, and later he wanted to marry into the Tang family. Naturally, the Jianning Hou family wanted to spread the word, saying that there was no such thing.

This is what happened

It turns out that this is what happened. The second wife suddenly realized, and she was worried. Then our eleventh mother and Mr. Hou

The third wife covered her sleeves and smiled: I asked my sister-in-law last time when I came to give her Dragon Boat Festival gifts. My sister-in-law said that because of the Jianning Marquis incident, I didn’t publicize it. However, I have already discussed it with the Xu family.

It has been agreed that the decision will be made on May 26th. Then the date of marriage will be set.

The second wife was startled: In this way, the Marquis has become the son-in-law of the eldest family again. Her tone was a bit sour.

The third wife smiled and said: I don’t know if I will call the eldest uncle or the eleventh uncle when I meet Mr. Hou in the future.

The second wife didn't think this was funny, so she murmured a few words and went to the west wing with the third wife to see the newlywed Shiniang.

The room in Shi Niang's house was deserted. Only the maid Yin Ping and her little maid were packing things quietly. When she saw the second wife and the third wife, she came up to them with a smile. She was wearing a homely pomegranate red jacket and was leaning on the bed.

Reading Shi Niang just nodded.

Everyone in the family knew that she had an eccentric personality and didn't take it seriously. The second wife even held Shiniang's hand and talked for a long time: "We were planning to make a decision in the autumn, but who knew that the Zhu family seemed to be afraid that our seventh mother would run away, and the matchmaker

I had to come to my house every day, and I really had no choice but to agree to discuss the matter after I got back.

The third wife listened and laughed and said: It is a good thing that a family has a daughter who is sought after by many families.

The second wife sighed in distress: There is nothing I can do about it. Then she said to Shiniang, your seventh sister has to catch up on sewing work, so she has no time to come. She asked me to bring a pair of pillows that she embroidered by herself.

I hope you don't dislike it as a congratulatory gift.

Shi Niang said with a cold face: I have never heard of people who are so busy with sewing work that they don't even have time to visit relatives. There was a strong sense of ridicule in her tone.

She was a girl who was getting married, so she didn't move around. She didn't expect that Shiniang would say such a thing. She was also getting married, didn't she know the rules?

The second wife turned pale with anger and stood up immediately: Seventh Mother also asked me to bring a letter to Eleventh Mother. Then she went to Eleventh Mother's place.

Eleven Niang was wearing a lake-colored plain jacket and was sitting on the kang by the window doing needlework. When she saw the two aunts coming, she stepped forward to greet them, sat down on the kang, and let Amber brew the fine Longjing.

Why didn’t Seventh Sister come with you?

The second wife told Qiniang again the reason why she didn't come.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I’ll go see Seventh Sister then.

The second wife felt more comfortable now.

The three of them chatted for a while, then the second wife handed the letter to Eleven Niang and returned to the main courtyard with the third wife.

Eleven Niang opened the letter and saw that it was Qi Niang who asked her to help make two sets of men's trousers. She also said that the people in the Shandong needlework team were very stupid and they made several sets but she was still not satisfied. After thinking about it, she only had

I beg Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh.

Qiniang wants her to help make clothes for Zhu Anping as a return gift, right?

Seeing the joy in Qiniang's words, she felt much better.

When Wu Niang got married, the family was bustling with excitement. Wu Niang would often worry about gains and losses, showing off her shyness. Her joy at getting married would make people smile when they saw her. When it comes to Ten Niangs, not only is there no such thing as the newlywed Niang,

She was so happy that she even acted like everything had nothing to do with her.

I bought a maid for her to look at, but she didn't even look at it; I asked someone to make her clothes, but she ignored him and just lay there reading a book. I asked someone to make decorations, but she just shut the old man up in a casual way.

outside the door.

The eldest lady is busy with the banquet. You can't let the eldest lady handle everything.

Mother Xu had no choice but to help her choose a maid, took some old clothes out to measure the size, and decided to dress her up.

When the things were brought to her, she only said one sentence: "It's really ugly." This made Mrs. Xu, who always had a smile on her face, so angry that her veins bulged, and even those who helped her prepare for the wedding were discouraged.

On the day of her wedding, she slept until she could not bear three poles in the sun. Mother Xu couldn't care so much anymore and forced Shiniang to get up.

Shi Niang indifferently had her hair combed, put on her wedding dress, and then leaned on the pillow to read.

Xu’s mother advised her: wait and see again.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xu's mother coldly: "The sedan chair hasn't come yet? Why are you so anxious?"

Mother Xu was speechless.

Wu Niang, who came to accompany Shi Niang, couldn't help but pull Eleven Niang's hand: She is going to be alone, and it looks like she won't be able to survive unless we help her.

Last night, Wu Niang went specially to congratulate Shi Niang. Shi Niang closed the door, and Wu Niang refused to open it no matter what she said.

I'm still thinking about what happened last night, right?

Eleven Niang smiled and took Fifth Niang to her room: We are sisters, what kind of temper she is, Fifth Sister doesn’t know yet

Wu Niang finally calmed down a bit when she got off the stairs.

While the two were talking, the sedan chair brought by the Wang family to receive the bride arrived.

Seeing the curiosity on Wu Niang's face, Eleven Niang said with a smile: Fifth Sister, go take a look and come back and tell me.

Now that she is a married woman, she has much more freedom than Eleven Niang.

She hesitated for a while and said, "How about you stay here alone?"

What's the big deal? Eleven Niang said with a smile, "With all the maids in the house, you're still worried that I'll be thirsty and hungry?"

Wu Niang laughed when she heard this, said a few polite words, and went to the main courtyard.

The groom had just opened the door of Luo's house. Luo Zhenxing, Luo Zhenda and others all retreated to the Chuihua Gate, preparing to show off their power to the new son-in-law.

When Qian Ming saw Wuniang, he came over with a smile.

Don’t you have to stay with Tenth Sister?

Hearing her husband's concerned tone, Wu Niang's face was filled with smiles: She was accompanied by Quanfu's wife, Xipo, to see the excitement.

Qian Ming told her: Stand on the steps of the main room, lest the people waiting to pick up the bride swarm in and crowd you out.

Yes, Wu Niang responded, her face turned red.

Yu Yiqing called Qian Ming in a narrow voice: What are you doing standing among the women? Come and help hold the ladder.

People all over the yard looked over.

Wu Niang's face was so red that she could bleed.

Although Qian Ming was a little uncomfortable, he quickly regained his composure: Today is the new son-in-law's arrival, why does the fourth brother-in-law always hold on to me?

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Some people even said: Mr. Wang is the new son-in-law, and you are also the new son-in-law.

Provoked another burst of laughter.

People outside were banging on the door: open the door quickly, open the door quickly, don't miss the auspicious time.

Just as Luo Zhenxing was about to speak, Luo Zhenkai suddenly jumped out from behind him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, shouted through the door at the top of his lungs: You can come in, I have ten riddles here, you answered them correctly.

Just enter. If you answer incorrectly, you can't enter. After saying that, he read the first riddle. If you don't have faith, you can't stand. Type one word.

There was a lot of laughter outside, and someone replied: It's just words.
