March has entered, and the weather is getting warmer and brighter. The birds are singing happily on the branches.
Dozens of carriages were parked outside the gate of Feng Mansion, and healthy slaves were carefully moving the boxes and cages.
"It will take most of the day to carry such a large dowry!"
When Yao saw it, Xian Xian's eyes almost turned red.
Mrs. Zhou didn't feel any better.
When Feng Shaojun returned to Beijing in the spring of the year before last, he brought many boxes and cages with him. Later he moved to Cui's house and took them all with him.
There are only three days left for Feng Shaojun to get married. Feng Shaojun finally returned to Feng Mansion today. He also brought the dowry with him. Looking at it this way, it was much more than that day.
Of course.
Mrs. Xu came to the capital a few months ago and brought a whole boat full of silk, gold, silver and jade. Wouldn’t Feng Shaojun’s dowry be even larger?
On the day of marriage, a woman's dowry must be carried to her husband's house. The richer the dowry, the more confident the woman will be. This back and forth is also necessary.
Mrs. Xu got off the carriage, followed by Feng Shaojun. Cui Yuanhan followed him and stepped forward.
When everyone met, there was a lively exchange of greetings, so there is no need to go into details.
Mrs. Zhou led the three descendants of the Xu family into the inner hall.
Mrs. Feng forced a smile and greeted Mrs. Xu and Cui Yuanhan.
As for Feng Shaojun, she really wasn't in the mood to care.
Feng Shaojun sat calmly, not feeling disappointed at being left alone.
After the greetings, Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "I will send you back to Feng Mansion today, and I have a kind request."
What other tricks did you come up with?
Mrs. Feng smiled, and suddenly felt a sense of wariness in her heart.
I heard Mrs. Xu sigh softly: "When Aning got married, it was her brother who came to the capital to get married. I have always regretted that I could not get my daughter off in person."
"Now that Young Master has grown up, he will get married in three days. As my direct grandmother, I have to stay by her side to feel at ease."
"I shamelessly stayed in the Feng Mansion for a few days and made a lot of noises. Please forgive me, Mrs. Feng."
Mrs. Feng: "..."
This was because they were afraid that the Feng Mansion would eat Feng Shaojun. In just three short days, they were worried and had to follow him shamelessly.
Zhou and Yao looked at each other in surprise.
Even Feng Shaojun was a little surprised.
Before coming here, my grandmother had never mentioned this!
After a brief silence and embarrassment, Mrs. Feng coughed and said, "My mother-in-law is willing to stay in the Feng family as a guest. Our Feng family can only ask for it."
After all, they are in-laws. Even though they are here and their mouths are open, what can they do if they don’t stay as guests?
Mrs. Xu pretended not to see the reluctance in Mrs. Feng's eyes, smiled and thanked her, and said very considerately: "There is no need to prepare a place to live, Shaojun and I will live together."
Cui Yuanhan is also very easy-going: "I live in cousin Wen Hao's yard."
Feng Wenyan has already married a daughter-in-law, but Feng Wenhao has not yet decided on a marriage. It will only take a few days.
Mrs. Feng responded with a smile, "Since you have already thought about it, let's follow your wishes."
There was deep sarcasm in his words.
Cui Yuanhan of the Xu family didn't take such a small battle seriously.
Mrs. Feng endured her frustration and ordered her two daughters-in-law to accompany their mother-in-law to settle down. As for Cui Yuanhan, he continued to watch the servants moving boxes and cages.
…
"Grandma," Feng Shaojun smiled and said after Zhou and Yao left, "Why didn't you say anything to me before? I was shocked just now."
Mrs. Xu touched Feng Shaojun's hair and laughed softly: "How can I feel relieved if you go back to Feng's house alone?"
"Getting married is a life-long event, and the day of the wedding must be perfect and happy. I will personally watch over it. No matter what the Feng family wants to do, they have to see whether I am happy or not."
No matter how smart and capable Feng Shaojun is, she is a girl who is about to get married after all, and it is not convenient for her to speak or act. If she suffers any secret loss on the day of the wedding, she will have to swallow her anger.
Mrs. Xu could not bear to let her granddaughter suffer such injustice. She had already made up her mind to be a "bad guest".
Feng Shaojun's nose felt a little sour and he threw himself into Mrs. Xu's arms.
In front of her grandmother, she could put down all her defenses without worrying about anything. This kind of wholehearted and selfless love would be difficult for her to repay in her lifetime.
Mrs. Xu chuckled softly and said in a soft voice: "Okay, don't cry over such a trivial matter."
"You just have to settle down and wait for your marriage. Grandma will take care of everything."
Feng Shaojun hummed softly.
…
Mrs. Xu specially came to stay at Feng Mansion, firstly to accompany Feng Shaojun, and secondly, to shock the Feng family with her actions.
When Feng Shilang returned home in the evening, he learned that Mrs. Xu had stayed in the Feng Mansion. He was surprised for a while and then praised Mrs. Xu: "It is really rare for a female classmate to have such scheming methods."
Mrs. Feng was very angry when she heard this and sneered: "Isn't that true? This Xu family is indeed very powerful. He took the initiative to stay before I could stay as a guest."
"Maybe, when Feng Shaojun gets married in three days, her grandmother will also show her face."
Feng Shilang glanced at the eccentric Mrs. Feng: "Ms. Xu raised the young gentleman and even prepared a dowry. When my granddaughter gets married, everyone who comes to her family is a distinguished guest. It doesn't matter whether she stays for a few days or shows her face.
It’s all as it should be.”
"On that day Shaomei Shaolan got married, and people from her maternal family also came. Didn't you greet her politely?"
"There's nothing to be upset about over such a trivial matter."
It's really not a big deal, but I feel very angry. What should I do?
It can be seen that this Feng Shaojun is the nemesis in her life and the devil in her heart.
Mrs. Feng had a long face.
Unfortunately, Feng Shilang had no intention of coaxing his old wife. He just said "Don't neglect the Cui family's ancestors and grandchildren" and went to the study to add fragrance to his red sleeves.
Mrs. Feng angrily pouted at Shilang Feng's back.
Organizing happy events and preparing for wedding banquets is an extremely tedious task.
No matter what, with Mrs. Xu here, Mrs. Feng really needs to be more attentive to avoid being picked out by Mrs. Xu.
The next day, the married aunts and cousins went back to the house one after another to add makeup to Feng Shaojun.
Feng Shaomei and Feng Shaolan are both back. Little Feng also returned to her parents' home with her pregnant belly.
Even Da Feng is back.
The Zhou family and the Yao family laughed and teased the Feng family: "Why are you back? In two days, the young master will go to the Shen family in a sedan chair. As an aunt, you are just waiting for the bride to serve tea."
Da Feng said with a smile: "One code equals one code. I am Silang's aunt and Shaojun's biological aunt. It is right for me to come back and add makeup to my niece."
Then he personally brought the brocade box over and opened it diligently to show Feng Shaojun.
Everyone laughed again.
Feng Shaojun also pursed his lips and smiled.
This box of pearls is round and huge and in excellent condition. It would be perfect to be strung into a bead chain or made into headwear!
What's more important is the great Feng's sincerity.
"Young Master, do you like the makeup gift prepared by your aunt?" Mrs. Feng asked with a smile.
Feng Shaojun felt warm in his heart: "I like it very much, thank you, aunt."
