Autumn begins in the middle of July, and the sky suddenly becomes high and distant.
In August, dew appeared in the morning and evening, and the heat obviously subsided a bit.
Xu Chunjun is getting married in three days. The Xu family is so busy that they can hardly find anyone to spare.
Xu Chunjun wore a stone green wide shirt, a plain white skirt underneath, and a pearl comb pinned to her crow-green bun.
The whole person is elegant and charming, like a new lotus dew at dawn.
Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan sat next to her, one on the left and one on the right. One was cool and charming, the other fresh and pretty. It was like three flowers blooming at the same time, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Zi Ling came in from outside, her face now open and more and more provocative.
He smiled and said to the three of them: "You three, please have a rest! Here are the newly made snacks, and the tea is also ready."
Both Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan are learning needlework from Xu Chunjun. Cen Yunchu has learned well, but Jiang Nuan is still a mess.
"I'm going to be so stupid!" Jiang Nuan put down her clothes in annoyance and had no intention of having tea or snacks.
"What are you worried about?" Cen Yunchu laughed at her, "The clan family loves you and protects you so much, so I just won't do it. When I married you, I didn't just marry an embroiderer. There are maids and women doing needlework on the left and right, so I won't miss you.
.”
"But you and Sister Chunjun can embroider, but I can't." Jiang Nuan refused to let go, "This is so bad!"
"You are still young. If you have the patience in two years, you will be able to embroider it naturally. This thing is actually not that difficult." Xu Chunjun comforted her, "Come over and have tea!"
"Chun Jun, you don't have to coax her," Cen Yunchu came over, picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "We know a lot about her but she doesn't know how to do it. We are not used to her pretentiousness."
"Cen Dandan!" Jiang Nuan was so angry that he wanted to hit her, "You always laugh at me!"
"Jiang Atuan," Cen Yunchu called her by her nickname, "Stop asking for beatings and come over quickly to eat this bamboo leaf corn cake, or I will eat them all."
Jiang Nuan snorted, but still couldn't resist the aroma of corn cakes, and walked over step by step.
"This lotus root starch roll is pretty good, they just figured it out recently. You all have a try." Xu Chunjun asked the two of them.
"Have you prepared your dowry?" Cen Yunchu asked Xu Chunjun.
"Well, everything is almost ready." Xu Chunjun nodded.
"I prepared this for you," Cen Yunchu took out a small purse with peach blossoms embroidered on it, which she embroidered by herself, "you can open it after I leave!"
"Okay, thank you very much." Xu Chunjun happily touched the embroidery on her purse and nodded.
"Mysterious!" Jiang Nuan pouted, "Sister Xu, this is mine."
He handed over a red envelope and said, "After much thought, it is most practical to give you money."
"You're spending too much money!" Xu Chunjun pinched it and knew there was a stack of banknotes inside.
She knew that Jiang Nuan actually didn't have much money.
Although there was a betrothal gift from the Zong family, it could not be handed over to her. It was all under the control of the Meng family.
"This is my intention, let's not make any fuss." Jiang Nuan said with a smile.
They won't be coming over tomorrow to avoid causing trouble, so I gave her the congratulatory gift for Xu Chunjun today.
Just as he was talking, Lvchun came in and said: "Fifth girl, Mother Ye from the Chengyi Hou Mansion is here."
Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan said, "It's been a while since we've been here. You're busy here again, so we'll go back."
Xu Chunjun wanted to keep them, so he said, "You can leave after eating! It won't take more than a while."
But the two men said, "I've already eaten some snacks, and I'm not hungry for a while. Just go about your business. I'll see you later."
Xu Chunjun sent them out and then came back.
Accompanying Mama Ye were two maids and four boys.
The boys carried two red lacquer boxes over, but they didn't know what they contained.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Chunjun stepped forward with a smile and said hello.
"Congratulations, girl! I came here on the order of my wife," Mother Ye said happily, "I won't be able to call you that in a few days."
After Xu Chunchun gets married, Mama Ye and the others will call her from the Zheng family.
"How are you, Mrs. Hou, and the two young masters?" Xu Chunjun has not been to Chengyi Hou Mansion for some days.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine!" Mother Ye replied repeatedly, "Madam asked me to bring these two boxes of things over to add makeup to the girl."
"This is impossible!" Xu Chunjun shook his head and said, "It is inconsistent with etiquette."
Mrs. Lu is Zheng Wuji's biological aunt, and she is not Xu Chunjun's natal family.
"Madam guessed that the girl must have said that," Mother Ye said with a smile. "Madam told you not to think too much. This is just for you and has nothing to do with anyone. She also said that if the girl doesn't accept it, she will be angry."
Xu Chunjun knew that his wife did this to make her dowry look more generous and to give face to Mr. Zheng.
Another thing is to show your love for yourself.
So he said: "Since it is a reward from my wife, Chunjun is disrespectful, so I have to accept it. I also ask my mother to go back and express her gratitude to me."
"Don't worry, girl! I'll tell Madam when I get back." Mother Ye smiled very broadly and ordered the boys to carry the two boxes in.
Then he took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them to Xu Chunjun and said: "When the girl came to the capital, she lived in our house for many days. She also took care of the house and shared our worries. Now we are considered old acquaintances. Now the girl is married.
We all wanted to come over and have a look. But everyone had something to do, so they asked me to send over my thoughts."
Then he told them one by one: "This one belongs to Aunt Wan, this one belongs to Aunt Qi, this one belongs to Mrs. Wang in the kitchen... and the last one belongs to me, old lady."
"This...everyone thinks of me so much, which really makes Chunjun feel ashamed." Xu Chunjun knew that these people had no need to give.
"Girl, don't say such nonsense. We all share the same feelings. There is no more and no less." Mother Ye said with a smile, "You will often come to our house in the future. Your house is so busy, so there are not many of us."
Delayed."
After Mother Ye left, the Cen family and the Jiang family sent gifts respectively, and the Cen family's gift was especially heavy.
This was sent by two parents, and it was different from the one sent by Cen Yunchu and Jiang Nuan alone.
There are also the Zeng family of the Prince of Yongxian County and the Mo family of the Marquis of Wuting.
Even Cui Mingzhu sent someone to deliver an envelope.
In addition to the earring that Xu Chunjun put in when he first visited, there was also a broken hosta inside.
"This Cui Mingzhu is going too far! Our lady's wedding is approaching, and she actually gave her a broken hairpin. Isn't this deliberately disgusting?!" Ziling and Lvchun couldn't help but get angry.
Cui Mingzhu is a person who is bound to retaliate, and Xu Chunjun came to embarrass her. Of course she didn't want to make Xu Chunjun feel better, so she sent someone to deliver this thing.
"This hairpin is of good quality," Xu Chunjun was not annoyed at all. "Find a craftsman to grind it into a pair of earrings. I'm afraid it will be worth dozens of taels of silver."
"I'll go right away!" Lvchun happily took the broken hairpin and went out to find a jewelry shop to change it.
