Chapter 925

November 27th is suitable for marriage.

Yuxi took Zaozao and Liuer to Han's house after breakfast. Originally, Lu Xiu wanted Yuxi to be a Quanfu person for Qiqi, but Yuxi refused. A Quanfu person has both parents and a loving husband and wife with children, but she lost her mother since she was young and is not liked by her father. It is not appropriate to be a Quanfu person. Seeing that Yuxi disagreed, Lu Xiu had no choice but to invite Liu Biyuan's wife, Mao Shi, to be the Quanfu person.

The Han House is covered with red lanterns, and some trees are tied with colored silk, which is full of joy.

Seeing this, Zao Zao frowned and said, "Mother, isn't it a bit too wasteful?" It's normal to hang red lanterns, but it's a bit wasteful to tie this colorful silk.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This colored silk is not just used once, put it away, and you can still use it when you Shun Cousin Chang and the others get married."

Liu'er remembered what Mother Qu had said, and said, "Mother, I heard that rich families in the capital will do it extravagantly when they marry their wives and daughters. Mother, if my cousin's wedding banquet is held in the capital, would it be considered extravagant?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If it's placed in the capital, it can only be regarded as mediocre. When your third aunt got married, it was called luxury. Not only was the whole mansion hung with red lanterns, but the trees were also covered with flowers made of rhombic gauze silk. In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, this mansion is decorated with colorful flowers."

After hearing this, Zao Zao immediately said: "Mother, it will cost a lot of money, right?" It felt like a waste.

Liu'er asked: "Mother, is the third aunt's dowry a lot?" In fact, Liu'er knew that Yuchen's marriage was a lot of red makeup, so she asked specifically to let Zaozao know through Yuxi's mouth.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Two hundred and forty-eight lifts. Antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver utensils, and field shops, the total is two to three hundred thousand taels of silver!" The reason why she remembered it so clearly was because she was still envious of it at the time. a handful.

Zao Zao was surprised that there were so many dowries: "Mother, what about you? Do you have so many?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Your third aunt has so much dowry. Firstly, her biological mother's dowry is generous. The Han family didn't touch these things, and gave them to her as a dowry; secondly, she married into the royal family. Mother's dowry is actually pretty good." It was rich, but the capital city was too far away from Yucheng, and the roads were not peaceful at that time so I didn’t dare to bring more things, so I only brought silk quilt covers and other things when I got married.”

Zao Zao heard about it: "Mother, I heard from Uncle Xu that you were met by bandits on the way to Yucheng, and all your belongings were robbed by the bandits."

Liu'er opened her mouth and said, "All taken away? Did you also take away the wedding dress and phoenix crown?" Liu'er really didn't know about this.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Meeting bandits is a trivial matter, the most dangerous thing is that you were almost captured by the Beiyao people. Those Beiyao people hated your father so much, and in order to get revenge, he lay in ambush and tried to capture your mother. Fortunately, Afraid that something might happen again, I got more careful, so I found someone to replace me, and I followed the path that Master Yang and the others took." Thinking back, it was really not easy!

Zao Zao let out a cry and said, "Is there another one? Uncle Xu never told me about it!"

Liu'er asked nervously, "Mother, what happened next? How about the substitute?"

Yuxi sighed and said: "The substitute was captured by the Beiyao people, and later killed her in front of your father." It was also because of this that she was so frightened that she almost ran away from marriage. But this matter, except for her and Zijin, no one else knew about it.

Liu'er said happily: "Fortunately, mother is smart." If not, they would be gone.

Zaozao said with a smile: "Liu'er, I'm wrong. Mother has always been very smart. It's all thanks to mother that the six of us are so smart." After finishing speaking, he added a sentence: " "If you look like your father, it will be miserable. "

Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "Your father will definitely beat you up when he hears this."

She is a big girl now, how could father do anything to her. Don't talk about doing it, and now I won't scold anymore.

Zaozao raised her head and said, "I'm not afraid! By the way, mother, when I get married, I don't need to prepare so much dowry. Three to five thousand taels of silver is enough."

Yuxi smiled and said: "You really know how to save money for mother." It is also good for a daughter to be stingy.

The craftsmen in Jiangnan are good at craftsmanship, Yuxi asked Tian Yang to buy good wood in Jiangnan, and hired craftsmen to make furniture. Other things are also being added, I just didn't tell Zao Zao.

The three of them soon arrived at Qiqi's boudoir. At this time, Qiqi's boudoir was crowded with people and bustling.

Entering the house, the people inside all knelt down to salute when they saw Yu Xi. Yuxi smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite." At first, everyone was not used to kneeling and saluting her. But as time goes by, it becomes a habit.

After saying this, Yuxi walked over to help Qiqi up herself. At this time, Qi Qi had already put on her makeup, but she hadn't put on her wedding dress yet.

Xi Niang quickly fetched the wedding dress for Qiqi to change into.

The bright red wedding dress reflected a peach blossom-like face, and there was a brilliant brilliance shining between her eyes.

Yuxi looked at it and said in admiration: "My Qiqi is like a fairy, but it's cheaper than Zhi Ao."

Qi Qi blushed, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Auntie is absurd." That appearance was indescribably charming.

Zaozao said with a smile: "Cousin, when Feng Zhiao sees you, you will definitely not be able to turn your eyes away." Zaozao and Qihao have a good relationship, and they have a lot of dealings with the four of Feng Zhiao, and they are very familiar with each other.

Qiqi lowered her head in shame.

According to the custom, the newlyweds also have to wear a demon mirror on their chests, a descendant bag on their shoulders, and 'dingshouyin' wrapped around their arms. These are the procedures that must be followed in Yucheng to get married, and Mrs. Feng hopes to follow their rules. This is not important, just follow the customs in Yucheng.

After everything was put on, Xi Niang took off her hijab and came over. Yuxi reached out to take the hijab in her hand, turned her head and asked Qiqi: "Did you eat just now? If you haven't eaten, you have to eat something first?" Becoming a bride is also a very tiring thing.

Qiqi whispered: "I'm not hungry." She got up before dawn, and she hasn't had a sip of water, let alone food.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "There will be more trouble later, can't you not eat?" After finishing speaking, she ordered someone to bring snacks.

Not long after, a maid brought a plate of red bean cake. These pastries are only the size of a finger and will still be steaming. Yuxi shook her head and said: "Eating these is not enough, let's get a bowl of dumplings!" Noodles are inconvenient, dumplings are better.

Xi Niang hesitated for a while, but thinking about her duty, she still reminded in a low voice: "Princess, eating dumplings will ruin your makeup."

Yu Xi said: "It's still early, I'll just put on my makeup later." It's a big deal, let Feng Zhiao wait.

After saying this, Yuxi said to Qiqi: "Eat dumplings later, don't drink soup." It's not easy to drink soup to go to the toilet.

Qiqi nodded slightly.

Feng Zhiao came to pick up the bride in a bright red dress. After entering the wedding room to meet Yu Xi, Feng Zhiao hastily gave Yu Xi a junior gift.

After receiving the gift, Yuxi said with a smile: "Zhiao, I handed over Qiqi to you, and you must treat her well in the future, and you must not let her be wronged."

Feng Zhiao hurriedly said: "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely treat A Ying well, and I will never let her suffer any grievances."

Zaozao said with a smile on the side: "Feng Zhiao, I warn you, if you dare to treat my cousin badly, then I will definitely beat you to the ground!"

It was not the first day for Feng Zhiao to deal with Zaozao, how could he not know her temperament, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely not give you this chance." Hui, whether it is appearance, temperament or talent, he is very satisfied. What's more, it's too late for this daughter-in-law to marry back home and cherish her, how could she be willing to be wronged.

When Qiqi heard this, her anxiety subsided instantly.

Lu Xiu smiled and said: "Okay, the auspicious time has come, it's time to salute." With Yuxi and the princess' statement, I believe that not only Feng Zhiao, but also the rest of the Feng family will treat Qi Qi well. And this is also the purpose of Han Jianming and Qiu's marriage of Yuxi.

The bride was sent out, and the guests also left one after another. Yuxi also went back with Liu Er and Zao Zao.

Lu Xiu saw off the last guest, and said melancholy: "My heart is empty." Although Qi Qi was not born by her, she was the one who watched her grow up. In the past two years, she has taught her to be a housekeeper. Now that she is married, it will not be easy to meet again in the future.

Chun's mother understood this feeling, remembering that her daughter couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at the empty yard after she got married. Relatively speaking, Lu Xiu is not bad, after all, she is just an aunt, not a real mother. Mother Chun smiled and said: "When the uncle gets married next year and give birth to a big fat grandson for the wife, this house will become lively again."

Lu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!" It's better to have a son. After giving birth to a daughter, she will marry into someone else's family, and she is worried that her daughter will not live well in her husband's house. But giving birth to a son is different, it is to add more people to the family.

Seeing Lu Xiu's smiling face, Chun's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "When the uncle gets married, the wife will be able to relax for two days."

Thinking about what Han Jianming entrusted her, Lu Xiu had a headache: "How can I relax? I have to wait until Brother Chang gets married, and I will hand over all the things in the mansion to be really relaxed." Really wait for Brother Chang to get married , she is going to discuss the marriage of her second son again. In short, it is a heart that can't be finished.

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiu couldn't help muttering: "You said that the good-natured old man wants to choose a powerful and capable daughter-in-law for Brother Chang?" The mother-in-law said before that she would choose a gentle and virtuous wife for Brother Chang. . This change was too great, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

Chun's mother said in a low voice: "Actually, it's the second master's temperament. It's better to choose a capable wife for him!"

Thinking of Brother Chang's temper, Lu Xiu was speechless.

Back in the palace, Yuxi went directly to the front yard. Zao Zao and Liu Er went back to the backyard.

Zao Zao said: "The big cousin's wedding dress is really beautiful, I will wear such a wedding dress in the future."

Hearing this, Liu Er deliberately smiled and said, "Eldest sister, eldest cousin's wedding dress was embroidered by herself. Eldest sister, when are you going to start embroidering the wedding dress?"

"Uh... just leave this matter to the embroiderer in the mansion." Asking her to embroider the wedding dress will not kill her.

Liu'er smiled and said: "Sister, I heard that this woman has to wear her own embroidered wedding dress when she gets married, so that she can live a peaceful and beautiful life in the future."

Zao Zao snorted and said, "Mother didn't wear the wedding dress she embroidered when she got married. Didn't she and father also love each other? Whether happiness can be achieved is not in the wedding dress, but in the person."

Liu'er agreed with this very much, nodded and said: "Elder sister is very reasonable. However, I still want to wear the wedding dress I embroidered. Getting married is a major event in my life, and I don't want to have any regrets. "

Zao Zao smiled and said: "You are good at embroidery, of course you can do better yourself, so I'll let it go." She can't even embroider a handkerchief well, and she even embroiders a wedding dress! If she waits for her to embroider the wedding dress, she probably won't have to marry in this life.

Liu'er thought for a while and asked: "Sister, just now you said that your mother will prepare a dowry of four to five thousand taels of silver? Are you serious?" What is four to five thousand taels of silver enough for? The palace's monthly expenses are more than this amount up.

Zao Zao hummed and said: "I have saved some money myself, and I also have a salary. In the future, Jin Yu can also get a share of the family business from Wu's family. The family is so difficult, and it can be saved."

Liu'er was troubled when she heard this.

As soon as Yuxi returned to the front yard, Xu Wu reported something to her: "Princess, I received General Liu's notebook two quarters of an hour ago, and it is now on the desk." Since he no longer manages the intelligence network, His news is not as good as before. But after following Yu Xi for so long, he vaguely guessed that Yu Xi must have told Liu Tienan something important. If it was just refugees outside Linzhou City, it would be impossible to communicate so frequently.

Yuxi opened the booklet, and there was a letter in the booklet. This letter was written by Ye Jiuying.

Looking at the booklet and the letter, Yu Xi fell into deep thought. Ye Jiuyun arrived in Jinzhou more than 20 days ago, and this time he mainly talked about the situation in Jinzhou in his letter, and he explained it in great detail.

Seeing this, Xu Wu withdrew. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yun Qing wearing a sapphire blue robe.

Yun Qing asked, "Is the concubine in there?" Qi Qi got married, Brother Hao went with the triplets, but Yun Qing didn't.

Xu Wu nodded, and said: "My lord, my concubine's face is very solemn after reading the booklet sent by General Liu."

Yun Qing knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and when he walked into the room, he saw Yu Xi holding a letter and thinking about something. He didn't interrupt Yuxi's train of thought, just stood aside and waited.

When Yuxi woke up and saw Yunqing, she asked, "When did you come back?" Yunqing went to the military camp outside the city, and she thought she would not be back until the afternoon.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "I came back for a while, but I didn't call you when I saw you were thinking about something. Did Liu Yongnan mention something embarrassing to you?"

Yuxi shook her head, handed Ye Jiuyun's letter to Yunqing, and said, "There was a riot in Jinzhou last month, but it was quickly suppressed by the officers and soldiers."

This was within Yun Qing's expectation: "I said before that it is easy to cause a riot, but it is very difficult to form a large scale." He can calm down the violence easily.

But Yuxi disagreed with Yunqing's statement: "Herui, water can easily overturn a boat. If you lose the support of the people, even if the army is strong, it will only last for a while."

Yun Qing said with a smile: "Not only that, the soldiers in the army are all civilian children, and they are actually unwilling to let them suppress rebellion."

Yuxi said: "Herui, has the candidate been selected? If he is selected, let him go to Jinzhou." No matter how hard the court is to suppress the rebellion, the common people will still rebel if they cannot survive. Because rebels may still have a way to survive, otherwise there will only be a way to die.

Yun Qing nodded and said: "I've chosen it, but he's still in Yucheng, and he'll be there in two or three days. Yuxi, do you want to see him?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "You handle this matter, I will not interfere." She didn't know much about wars, and she didn't have anything to say when she saw it, so why waste this time! (to be continued)
