He also planted winter jasmine on both sides of the road leading to the main house. The small golden flowers were clustered among the dark brown branches and bloomed extremely vigorously.
The big red lantern hanging in front of the corridor swayed in the wind, and the bright red silk satin snaked from the main entrance to the side. The other houses were all the same layout, even the hut in the corner.
Everything you see is filled with joy.
Mr. He was also very satisfied with the layout of the house and kept nodding his head: "Brother Yuan is very thoughtful. He is much better than your godfather."
Fang Zhenshan, who lay innocently with the gun, muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it just planting a few flowers and hanging some red silk? Who can't do the same thing?"
"You know how to do it, why can't I see you doing it?"
Fang Zhenshan glared at her, rubbed his hands and said, "How about we hold a new wedding? Then I will arrange it all according to your requirements."
"It's really shameful for a person who has already buried most of his body to imitate other young people's wedding ceremony."
Mr. He spat at him, turned around and took Shen Qingqing's arm to lead him to the bedroom, "Come on, let's try to see if the wedding dress fits."
Fang Zhenshan shrugged helplessly, didn't he just go out for a trip? Why did he feel like his wife was no longer his when he came back?
Entering the bedroom and looking at the bright red wedding dress on the table, Shen Qingqing didn't want to move because the dress was too difficult to put on and she was covered in sweat after struggling with it.
She sat down on the stool and asked He with a grimace: "Didn't you try it two days ago? Otherwise, I won't try it today."
Mr. He disagreed, "You also said it was two days ago. I think your face seems a little rounder during this time. Give it a try and make sure everything is safe."
Shen Qingqing pinched the soft flesh on her face in shock, a little unwilling to accept the reality, "Are you fat?"
During this period of Chinese New Year, she did eat more than usual, and it seemed reasonable to gain weight.
Help, she doesn’t want to get married with a belly full of meat!
"I'll try!"
Shen Qingqing let out a breath and secretly made up her mind that she would not change her clothes no matter whether they fit or not. The worst thing she could do was eat less in the next two days and starve herself back.
"This is the right thing to do. It's only this time in your life. Don't be afraid of trouble." He smiled and exited the room, leaving room for her to change clothes.
After Mr. He led the child away, the room immediately fell silent. Shen Qingqing stroked the gold thread pattern on her wedding dress, and a smile crept onto her lips.
The first time she saw the wedding dress, she guessed that the pattern on it was painted by Meng Yuan himself, because no one else would embroider the flower of the other side on the wedding dress.
The flowers of the other shore outlined in gold spread from the front to the wide sleeves like the sunset on the horizon, and then scattered from the cuffs to the skirt.
With a slight shake, the hem of the skirt swayed, and the fiery sea of flowers surged like ocean waves, burning like a blazing flame.
Extremely beautiful, extremely enchanting.
Shen Qingqing took off her clothes and tried on the wedding dress. When she flipped through the wedding dress, she found that there was an extra small piece of clothing inside - a red bellyband with two other shore flowers embroidered on it.
Compared with the flowers on the wedding dress, the stitching on the bellyband is obviously much rougher in workmanship.
Maybe it was made in a hurry because of lack of time.
Shen Qingqing thought so and changed the clothes inside.
Fortunately, she is not much fatter, and the clothes still fit her, but her waist is a little tighter than before, and she wears a flower-and-bird pattern girdle, which just outlines her slender waist.
After changing her clothes, she opened the door and called He and the children in. The three and four treasures surrounded her like birds, and rainbow farts kept popping out.
Mr. He exhaled with relief and said happily: "It will fit just fine. After lunch, let's count the dowry, and then we can wait for Meng Yuan to come and pick her up."
Lunch was delivered by Yuan Xudong. It consisted of six dishes and two soups, which was quite sumptuous. However, Shen Qingqing was still thinking about losing weight, so she didn't eat much.
After dinner, Mr. He and others began to sort out the dowry in the small courtyard. You take out one piece, and I will bring out a box. Shen Qingqing, who was sitting in front of the porch to rest, felt as if he had become an emperor. Everyone in the yard came to give it to him.
The ministers she presented to him.
The most frustrated person was Meng Qixue, who immediately moved out all her belongings, including twenty sets of clothes, both long and short, thick and thin, as well as the money earned during this period.
No more, no less than two thousand taels.
Such a big gesture made Dabao and Sanbao's eyes pop out.
The two of them had no way of making money, so they had to earn a few coins by doing odd jobs for Meng Qixue. After working hard for a month or two, they couldn't even scrape together a piece of silver. In the end, they had to use the New Year's money to scrape together a few coins.
Meng Qiyun was better than the two of them. She earned hundreds of taels of silver by telling fortunes and helping people catch ghosts. She was so lazy that she didn't even change the money, so she packed a big box with copper plates and broken silver.
Finally, there are He and Fang Zhenshan.
Shen Qingqing knew that their life had not been easy these years, and they did not have much savings. She was about to say that what the children got was enough, and that her family did not need to pay so much attention.
Before the words were spoken, a few guys came in carrying big boxes, opened the first box, and found a box full of gold ingots, which were so bright that they almost blinded people's eyes.
Shen Qingqing was shocked: "Is this so exaggerated?"
"There's more." Fang Zhenshan smiled proudly, turned around and opened the second box. This box was full of jewelry.
Shen Qingqing saw the luminous pearl the size of an egg at a glance, shook her head and said, "Just take a couple of them and keep the rest for yourselves."
"No, no, no, I asked the emperor specifically for these things before I left. I said they were the dowry for my goddaughter. Wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor if I kept them for myself?"
Fang Zhenshan said seriously, "The crime of deceiving the emperor will punish the nine tribes."
"Take it in peace." Mr. He patted the back of her hand, "We didn't even bother to be polite to you. We moved directly into your new house. Why are you being polite to us? We're just outsiders."
Shen Qingqing was moved in her heart and hugged Mr. He affectionately, "Godmother, thank you. And godfather, thank you too."
It's tiring enough to travel a long distance, and you have to carry something so heavy. If you don't really care, why would you go all the way to bring her a dowry?
Shen Qingqing's eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and there was a cry in her voice unconsciously.
Mr. He patted her back distressedly and coaxed in a gentle voice: "Why are you crying? Isn't it a natural thing for parents to add a dowry to their daughter?"
Fang Zhenshan was also worried: "My godfather shamelessly asked the emperor for something just to make you happy, but in the end he made you cry. Wasn't my work in vain?"
"I know, I'm so happy."
Shen Qingqing sniffed, looked at the concerned eyes of her second elder and four cubs, and held back her sadness as she said, "Growing up to this age, I never thought I would be where I am today."
I never thought I would be able to marry the man I like.
She never thought that there would be so many relatives to marry her.
It would be great if the master was here.
If the master were here, her marriage would be completely consummated. This chapter has been completed!
