Chapter 71(1/2)
Because Mu Yun is still young and has not even arrived, and Wen Tingzhou is preparing for the autumn examination this year and the spring examination the following year, the two families have temporarily set the marriage for the year after tomorrow, and we will discuss it carefully at that time.
But after Wen Ding, the two families became serious in-laws. Wen Tingzhou often sent servants to deliver things, but there were not many valuable things, most of them were fresh food, seasonal fruits and other items at home. Knowing that Mu Yun liked flowers, he also asked someone to buy some strange flowers or seeds to come and give them to Mu Yun, which was quite thoughtful.
Of course, since the marriage is settled, Mu Yun is happy to develop feelings for his future husband. After Wen Tingzhou gave him a gift, Mu Yun would often make some needlework and snacks and other things for the servants in the mansion to give it to him.
After a while, Mu Yun's needlework has made rapid progress, and Qingkong sighed: The power of love is great!
Mu Yun also generously retorted. Anyway, Qingkong was going to get engaged, and he did a lot of needlework. Come on, hurt each other...
Although Mu Yun and Wen Tingzhou did not make a specific date for marriage, all kinds of dowry and other items should be prepared. However, if Madam Yun said that, she would not have to worry about it. Not only did she not have to worry about it, but she would not even need to worry about it.
Now Mu Yun has gotten engaged, and Qingkong is coming.
Qingkong should have gone out before her. Nowadays, especially clothes, purses and other items that cost more time and energy, should be prepared. Among them, wedding dresses are the most important. Nowadays, even ordinary women with a little more money will spend more than half a year to make a wedding dress carefully. After all, this is the most perfect day in a woman's life, and wedding dresses must take time to be the best.
It seems that the time is abundant, but the bride not only has to embroider her wedding dress, but also has to be the groom's wedding dress. Including the embroiderer, it will definitely take time. Therefore, seeing the time is abundant, it actually passes quickly.
Mu Yun’s embroidery skills are not very exquisite, and Qingkong is indispensable to help!
In the Wen Dingzhou gift that day, there was a piece of Hang Silky with auspicious clouds and dark patterns in the Wen Tingzhou. The color was bright, and the material was not an ordinary product at a glance. Moreover, it was a dark pattern, and the patterns were embroidered on it to make it more harmonious.
Mu Yun found the fabric and prepared to cut it. He felt that she seemed a little anxious when she started making wedding dresses now, and she didn't think about what pattern to embroider. So she put away the fabric, took out another piece of material, and started laying the curtain first.
In this era, everything has to be done manually. Fortunately, after Wending, Madam Yun found her one big, two little and three maids.
The same goes for Qingkong, adding three maids, one big, two small ones.
The older maid who came to Lai Muyun was named Jingwen. She was only thirteen years old this year, but she was quite steady in her actions and her needlework was not as good as Qingkong, but she was comparable to the embroiderer of Qingkong Embroidery House. In addition, Mei Yuan's needlework was not bad.
With the help of the two of them, not only did Mu Yun share Mu Yun's work, but Mu Yun felt much more relaxed.
The other two little maids are twin sisters, whose sister is called Yinxin and Yinliu, who are both ten years old.
These two little maids are diligent in their work and occasionally help Mu Yun embroider some purses or sew some socks. Mu Yun also taught them to knit socks and gloves with wool thread, and they learn quickly and well, and they are very smart.
On the side of Duke Cheng’s mansion, Xu is also considering the marriage between Shan Yuan and Shan Jingyan!
She has seen many families these days, and the one she is most satisfied with is Chen Xuetong, the daughter of Chen Taifu's youngest son.
Although Grand Tutor Chen was old and had little intervention in the court affairs, Chen Xuetong's father was a third-rank minister of the History Department.
Although Yuan'er has no official position now, she can still marry a legitimate daughter from a third-rank official family.
Xu chose the youngest daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou as his wife for Shan Jun. Shan Jun had already agreed on this matter, but the elder brother had not settled, and it was difficult for the concubine's son to get over, so he delayed it until now.
Now Xu thought Chen Xuetong was good, so he said to Shan Yuan. Shan Yuan thought for a while and said, "Can mother ask me to inquire and then make a decision?"
"Of course, marrying a wife and a virtuous husband is a little bit of harm. I just heard a few words and said to her. I have to ask about the character of my character." Xu said with a smile.
Shan Yuan nodded, preparing to see if Chen Xuetong is really consistent in appearance.
After all, no one wants to marry a wife with different deeds and bring harm to themselves.
As for Shan Jingyan, Xu was worried. Many of the children of aristocratic families looked at it and picked it again and again, and always felt that this one was not good and that one was too bad.
Alas, the mood of marrying a daughter is still different from that of marrying a wife.
However, all this will change greatly as the Duke returns.
...
The family who looked at Qingkong was named Mai, a native of Beijing. He had two sons and one daughter in the family. The eldest son had already married, and his daughter was married two years ago. Qingkong looked at his youngest son.
The youngest son of the Mai family is named Mai Xu and his courtesy name is Zichen. He is nineteen this year, three years older than Qingkong. He is currently just a young commander of the Imperial Guards, but he is honest and has a stable job. After reading for a few years, he is not the kind of vulgar warrior who has never read books.
Moreover, Mai Xu and his family agreed to separate after marriage. He seemed to be an independent person, not a foolish and filial person. This is what made Madam Yun the most satisfied.
After the Mai family split, the old couple should follow their eldest son's family. Mai Xu also bought a house, right in Jinju Lane, Waixicheng.
Madam Yun had inquired about the house layout, which was smaller than their current house, but it was enough for the young couple to live there.
If you have a child in the future, it will not be possible to change it. Mai Xu is a military officer, and Madam Yun looks at him and cannot be promoted. Men are ambitious people. As long as they are not idiots, they will definitely want to climb up.
After all, Mai Xu was chosen by Ma Ma, who was so successful that she could not stand at a high position in the future, but it should not be bad. She still has confidence in her vision and intelligence.
Besides, the child Qingkong may not know that this marriage was actually proposed by Mai Xu first.
It turned out that Mai Xu had seen her several times in the embroidery shop where the sky was opened, and then he secretly asked for a long time before he found Madam Yun.
Madam Yun kept it well and did not tell Mu Yun and Qingkong, but secretly inquired and investigated before making a decision.
As for the problem of Mai Xu's parents, brother and sister-in-law in the family, since Mai Xu promised that he would solve it, then Madam Yun would believe him for a while.
Don't be confused by Qingkong's gentle appearance. She is not the kind of young wife who obeys her.
June 20th is the day of Qingkong Wending. With the experience of Mu Yun Wending, the people in the house were ready early, not like Mu Yun was a little busy at that time.
Qingkong wore a water-red brocade dress today. She was a little shorter than Muyun and had a baby face. Today, she looked pretty, delicate and cute.
Mai Xuwen’s ceremony is not bad either. There are two sets of gold-headed and silver-headed faces, and a white magnolia-style emerald necklace, six pieces of cloth, and various snacks...
After Qingkong's literary decisive ended, Madam Yun sighed secretly.
These two children have been settled one after another, and they will get married in one or two years. Fortunately, they prepared dowry for them early...
Madam Yun thought a lot and was still very happy that they were getting along.
I was a little reluctant to let it go. Although Madam Yun didn't talk much with them, she still liked these two children very much in her heart.
No matter how much I sigh, I still have to live my life. Mu Yun and Qingkong have now reduced their travels and spend most of their time making wedding dresses at home.
Mu Yun designed several copies, but he was still not satisfied with it. He always felt that it could be better.
For this reason, she also asked Xiao Huihui to bring a letter to Wen Tingzhou to ask him for his opinion!
Wen Tingzhou also gave her some advice. Except for the queen, no one in Dayuan can use the phoenix pattern when getting married.
Wen Tingzhou suggested that she embroider the cranes on her wedding dress or the tricks she liked.
After reading Wen Tingzhou's suggestion, Mu Yun thought of the dragon and phoenix jacket was eliminated first. What is the dragon and phoenix jacket called the dragon and phoenix jacket without embroidering the dragon and phoenix jacket?
She was originally thinking about making a wedding dress, but she was scolded by Madam Yun. There are two types of wedding dresses in Dayuan, one is both red and the other is red and the other is red and the other is green.
It was the first wedding in two lives, Mu Yun really wanted to sit the wedding dress to the best, so she frowned for several days in sorrow.
Qingkong is much simpler than her. She directly chose a trick that won’t make mistakes, not as entangled as her.
Mu Yun thought she was dissatisfied with Mai Xu!
Mu Yun had no idea about the wedding dress, so he simply put it on first.
Because she was busy going to Wen Tingzhou's house to see the house, she had to check the place first if she wanted to marry her in the future.
Wen Tingzhou came to pick her up and walked all the way to the inner city. Mu Yun sat in the carriage. Seeing that it was not the way to Tonghua Lane, he hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say you should go see our home in the future? This is a wrong way!"
Wen Tingzhou reached out to touch Mu Yun's long hair, and said with a smile: "Our home will not be there in the future."
"Where is that?" Mu Yun looked puzzled.
"I'll know when I arrive. It's a great place and the house is big. I think you'll like it."
"Is that true? What if I don't like it?"
Seeing that he was so confident, Mu Yun couldn't help but say something to him.
Wen Tingzhou reached out and pulled Mu Yun's hand aside, pinched her palm and said, "If you don't like it, just change it."
“…”
Muyun never knew what it would be like to be spoiled by someone. Now she knew, it was really great to be spoiled by someone.
I am so afraid that I will get used to this kind of life. If I lose it one day, she will not be able to bear it.
Mu Yun couldn't help but restrain his emotions when he thought of this.
Wen Tingzhou soon discovered it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Mu Yun didn't want to say too much.
Seeing that she didn't want to say it, Wen Tingzhou didn't ask, he would always know it anyway.
Until he arrived at the place, Wen Tingzhou never let go of Mu Yun's hand. He personally helped Mu Yun down from the car.
In fact, Wen Tingzhou wanted to hold her down even more, but this move was a little bit unfair.
Wen Tingzhou took Mu Yun to a house in Jinwu Lane, Zhuque Street, Neinan City and stopped.
I knocked outside the door, and someone immediately opened a crack. When I saw that it was Wen Tingzhou, I quickly opened the door.
He led Muyun into the house. Muyun looked around. The house was built in the style of Suzhou gardens, including pavilions, terraces, rockery, ponds, and Muyun fell in love with it at a glance.
After walking for a while, Mu Yun found that there were fewer trees, so he asked in confusion: "Why are there so few flowers, plants and trees?"
Wen Tingzhou explained to her: "This house was newly built, but the owner was buried after half of the house was built. Because it was half built, and this architectural style was not popular in Beijing, no one has ever bought it. I accidentally found out and bought it."
"Oh, so the house is not actually completed yet?"
Wen Tingzhou smiled and said, "No, it's basically completed, but it's just that there's no rectification."
"Then are you going to decorate this place according to my preference?"
Mu Yun said cunningly and gave Wen Tingzhou an expression of seeing how you answered.
Looking at her cute appearance, Wen Tingzhou couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.
