Chapter 145 Adding makeup

A steward in the mansion who is good at writing will write out the dowry list in triplicate. The Jiang family will keep one copy, and Jiang Yixi will keep one copy. Later, they will send one copy to the Yamen for filing.

The total amount of the dowry is one hundred and twenty-eight dollars, a number of farms and shops, plus eleven thousand taels of silver in boxes.

Jiang Yixi didn't like the amount of silver in the box. She once talked to Huahua and wanted to reduce it by one thousand taels, or increase it by one thousand taels, which would be auspicious.

Huahua said, "Little lovers in modern society like two people to be one and the same, meaning they are devoted to each other."

Jiang Yixi didn't add anything after hearing this.

Looking at the thick dowry list, the old lady smiled happily. The daughter of the Jiang family got married with a red dowry of ten miles, which is considered good in the capital. She has enough face. She still feels a little sad in her heart, so many things have been moved.

Another home.

Not to mention Jiang Yiyan and Grandma Jiang's jealousy, even the third lady's heart trembled. The dowry of other Jiang family girls would not exceed a small half of this.

Amidst the busyness and tension, the days flew by to June 25th, and today Jiang Mansion was going to Meng Mansion to lay down his bed.

The time required to make furniture is short, and even if many craftsmen are hired, the workmanship cannot be too delicate and complicated. The wood prepared by the Jiang family is nanmu, and later Meng Cimo privately gave some huanghuali, so the finished product can only be said to be just okay.

.

Fortunately, these things were given in advance and did not affect the style of the Jiang family's daughter Shili Hongzhuang.

Jiang Xun took another day off, and together with Jiang Jin took people to the Meng Mansion to set up beds. Since Jiang Jin got a job, he was more attentive to doing things for Jiang Yixi than before, and Grandma Jiang was also much more enthusiastic.

After that, relatives and friends came one after another to add makeup.

On the morning of the 26th, Mrs. Zheng Xie and two sisters, Zheng Tingting and Zheng Jingjing, came to Jiang's house to add makeup to Jiang Yixi.

Old Mrs. Jiang was supported by the third lady and came out of Ruyi Hall.

After a few people sat down and were polite, Ms. Xie smiled and said, "Miss Jiang is gentle and lovable. Not only do my Tingting and Jingjing play well with her, but the eldest princess and I also like her very much. She is getting married, eldest daughter.

The eldest princess and I both need to add makeup to her..."

In the past month, Aunt Xia from the eldest princess's house in Yichang has come to Jiang's house twice, both times to ask for soup. She said that the eldest princess's health has been much better after drinking the soup made by Jiang Yixi. Jiang Yixi is very dedicated.

Boil it on the ground, and then give it to them with soup and cans.

To add makeup, I had to add it to someone else's yard. The old lady, the third lady, and the eldest grandma accompanied the Zheng family's mother and daughter to Zhuoyuan.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were warmly welcomed by tweets.

The first ones to come in were Mr. Xie and the old lady.

She is not a beauty, so she tweeted, "Eat meat, get acupuncture."

Then sister Zheng Tingting and a few girls came in and called again, "Hua'er, Hua'er, there is a beauty in the north..."

Ms. Xie had already heard about the wonderful benefits of tweeting, and laughed and said, "This little thing still recognizes people. When we come in, we will get acupuncture, and the little lady will call Hua'er when we come in."

It made everyone happy.

Jiang Yixi personally served tea to several elders.

Zheng Jingjing asked anxiously, "Second Sister Jiang, where is Huahua?"

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I went to play in the mountains."

A few days ago, Huahua made a fuss about going to the mountains to play. Jiang Yixi thought that after marrying into the Meng family, Huahua would spend a lot of time, so it would be difficult for the little thing to get out, so she let it go. Before it left, she still took off the fragrance-avoiding beads.

Fragrance repellent beads will cover the "fairy spirit" of Huahua, and if you wear something small, you will be easily attacked by wild animals.

Master Yu He said that Xuan Diao will not come here at least this year, so this year he can feel more at ease with the little ones going out to play.

Normally, when guests arrive, they will first hang out with Jiu Jiu on the porch for a while, but today the guests came directly into the house, and Jiu Jiu felt that she was being slighted again.

Started to curse, "Go away, bad guy, bad guy, go home, wait for me with a military stick..."

It made everyone laugh again.

Xie laughed and opened her mouth in shock, then quickly covered her mouth and said, "This sound, this sound..."

Zheng Tingting smiled and said, "Mom, I also think this voice looks familiar. Who does it sound like?"

Mr. Xie smiled and shook his head, "It looks familiar. I can't remember who it looks like."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Grandpa Meng gave this to me. He said it was an old subordinate who respected him."

Mr. Xie understands. So that’s the case, no wonder...

Some girls brought in some brocade boxes, and some women carried in some boxes.

First, let’s add to the makeup of the eldest princess, which is a seven-treasure necklace made of red gold.

Xie's additional decorations include two sets of red gold inlaid headpieces, a red coral ornament, a double-sided red sandalwood embroidered Suzhou Kang screen, a set of colorful porcelain tea sets, and four pieces of makeup flowers.

Zheng Tingting added a red coral bracelet, and Zheng Jingjing added two beautiful handkerchiefs.

These things are of the highest quality, worth at least more than a thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Yixi blushed and said thanks.

The old lady understood that the emotional thank-you gift from the Zheng family was given to Jiang Yixi alone. She was so angry that her face flushed, but she did not dare to show it. She quickly picked up the tea bowl and pretended to drink tea to hide her embarrassment.

After the Xie mother and daughter left, the old lady became sullen. She did not return to Ruyi Hall and sat in the hall of Zhuoyuan, sulking.

Jiang Yixi hated the old lady's greed for money, but she didn't want to make her unhappy before getting married. No matter how bad her natal family was, she couldn't break up with her now. In fact, the Fu family she would face in the future would be even more difficult, and they had to let her natal family step in when it was time to step in.

Come forward. Besides, Jiang Xun wants to continue living here and has his marriage...

Jiang Yixi had already thought of this happening.

She smiled and said, "I heard from Brother Yougui that a southern businessman who likes flowers came to Tonglin County a few days ago. I asked him to sell a pot of exotic triangle flowers and two pots of rare orchids to the businessman. Sold

Eight hundred taels of silver.

"My brother and I lost our mother when we were young, and our father a few years ago, so we were cared for by my grandmother. My granddaughter couldn't repay her, so she bought a ginseng stick, a sapphire landscape screen, and an official kiln pink porcelain tea set as a gift to my grandmother.

."

Several servants took out the things. The ginseng was bought a few days ago, and the screen and red gold ornaments were given by them after they cured Meng Cimo and Li Zhenbao's eyes last year. In addition, they also brought the makeup flowers given by Mrs. Zheng.

Luo left two horses.

The old lady Fang smiled, took Jiang Yixi's hand and said, "Grandma has always known that you are a good and filial child. Alas, you and Xun'er are pitiful too. Grandma has always been interested in you..."

Jiang Yixi said something sarcastic, but the old lady had the nerve to say it along.

In order to express her lack of love and reluctance for Jiang Yixi, the old lady had dinner in Zhuoyuan that night, and Jiang Yixi invited the third lady and the eldest grandma to come.

Jiang Xun came back before dinner. He took four days off, from tomorrow to the day Jiang Yixi comes back.

At the beginning of Xu Shi, everyone was sent away, and Zhuoyuan finally became quiet.

Jiang Yixi looked calm on the surface, but she was almost anxious inside.

After a while, she felt that the moisture outside the light bead was getting thicker and thicker. Huahua was crying, and she was crying very sadly.
