Chapter 47: The Bride
In fact, Mrs. Chen hates Mrs. Chen more than anyone else, but she has no choice but to take her in. I heard that this sister was quite restless when she was at her parents' house. She often had contacts with some officials, which could be used as a way to pinch her.
in hand.
Nowadays, Mrs. Chen is so popular in her yard that she doesn't even pay attention to her. Every time she asks her to be a concubine, she looks unwilling to do so. She is a little bit
Worrying, sometimes seeing how arrogant and arrogant Mrs. Chen is, I even wonder if she has some thoughts that she shouldn't have?
Mr. Su Si is still in the uncle's house now. For the sake of the uncle's face, he doesn't dare to do this. But in a few years, the family will definitely separate. After the separation, he will no longer be the son of the uncle's house, but become an ordinary merchant.
Who cares who he marries and accepts? If Xiao Chen can give birth to a son, and her daughter becomes more powerful in the prince's palace, it may not be impossible to straighten her up.
Because of worries, Mrs. Chen wanted to speed up the engagement of her daughter. Her daughter is now fourteen and is about to turn fifteen. After the engagement, she can get married in one year. Even if something happens in the fourth house, she will not be implicated.
daughter.
Because of this worry, she no longer expects her daughter to marry into a noble family. The family of royal relatives is the most ruthless. Just look at herself, and then look at Su Yijuan, the second wife. What can she do if she marries into a high position? Her natal family does not have it.
She had been in such a state of decline. If one day her mother's family fell into decline, she had no doubt that Su Yijuan would be divorced. She would even consider it her luck to be divorced. Maybe the county prince's palace would let her die of illness for the sake of reputation. After all, divorcing his wife was not good for her.
It is humiliating to the woman and disgraceful to the man.
She was disappointed with the honorable family, and she had personally experienced the filth of the merchant family. As for Xiao Chen, her family had been able to support her mother and daughter for so many years, wearing gold and silver, so naturally they were not raised in vain...
…
The only choice was a scholarly family. A scholarly family had good rules and reputation, which was relatively better, so she was moved when she heard about Jiang Yueming's situation.
Thinking about it, the possibility of this marriage is very high. Jiang Yueming's family is poor. Even if he wins Xie Yuan, the average lord's family will still look down on him. After all, there will be a trial palace test in the future, just in case he just wins a bastard or something.
Yes, maybe he can only be a small official as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean.
The Fourth Master recently likes to invest in these young candidates to get his own son-in-law. Even if he ranks low in the palace examination in the future, as long as he has money, he is afraid that he will not be able to advance all the way. Even if the Fourth Master is unreliable, his natal family will strongly support his grandson-in-law.
She had previously been at odds with her third wife, the Xu family, and did not dare to mention the matter in front of the Xu family. She thought about bypassing the Xu family and raising the matter with the Jiang family. However, she had no friendship with the Jiang family and could not rashly propose marriage, so she thought
Then Jiang Yueming was invited to the Chen family, and the Chen family quietly told him that it would be best for him to see Xiang'er again. Her Xiang'er was so beautiful. Are they afraid that Jiang Yueming wouldn't fall in love at first sight?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu saw through it at a glance and came to her door mercilessly.
Two years ago, Mrs. Chen still had the intention to compete with Mrs. Xu. Now looking back on her own situation, she still had no intention of fighting with her sister-in-law. There was no peace in her own yard, and her daughter could hardly be saved.
There are other thoughts.
It was easy to comfort my daughter.
Mrs. Chen continued to look worried. At this time, her wet nurse came in softly and said: "Madam, the little bird in Aunt Chen's yard said just now that Aunt Chen has been retching and vomiting these days, and she also likes to eat sour food. She is very
possible……"
The wet nurse couldn't bear to continue talking.
Mrs. Chen was shocked. If Mrs. Chen had no son, the two sisters could still live in peace. But if Mrs. Chen had a son, everything would be different. The crisis caused by Aunt Qin would happen again, and even
Xiao Chen's methods were even more vicious than Aunt Qin's. Thinking of the tricks Xiao Chen used to deal with Aunt Qin when she first came in, she was frightened for a while.
I hope it's all just her unfounded worries and little Chen is not pregnant, otherwise she really doesn't know what their mother and daughter will do in the future.
The wedding day for the three-bedroom and five-year-old master has arrived.
Because it was the legitimate son of the third wife getting married, the whole scene was still very lively. However, the level of guests coming and going was not as high as that of Su Yirong and Su Yijuan. Although everyone who should be invited was invited, most people were too polite. After all, the third wife
Weakness, not as good as the second bedroom in a big house, one is an uncle and the other is a third-grade official.
I thought that the bride was from a small family and wouldn't have much dowry, but I didn't expect it. The dowry was brought over, which made the other houses feel a little pressure. The bride's dowry was placed all over the hall. They were all expensive things, which was eye-catching.
It was immediately obvious that the dowry was initially estimated to be no less than 20,000 taels, which was much more than the previous two ladies from the uncle's house.
At the moment, many people were a little disdainful. Everyone knew about the rich dowry given by the third wife Xu, because they all believed that the dowry was secretly given by the Xu family in order to make the Jiang family look good. They left the Su family and came back in a circle.
That's it, it's so outrageous. Does the third wife ignore the other brothers just for her own good looks? What will happen to the other brothers getting married in the future?
A series of complicated worship ceremonies ended with everyone being dissatisfied. The hijab was lifted, and the bride put on her heavy bridal makeup and performed the "gathering ceremony". After changing her makeup, many people were shocked by Jiang Yuebai's bright appearance. This
The bride's appearance is too beautiful. It seems that apart from the dowry, it will also be difficult for the brothers from other houses to marry in the future. The difference between the three houses cannot be too much, otherwise it will be really sad to have several daughters-in-law standing together.
Then there is the discussion of intimacy and distance.
Jiang Yuebai had known for a long time that Yuanping Uncle Mansion had a large population. There were several houses and some relatives of the seventh and eighth aunts. There were dozens of people occupying a full house.
One of the cousins wanted to play a trick on the bride. After a quick introduction, she deliberately tested the bride on whether she still remembered who she was.
As a result, Jiang Yuebai told her cousin's aunt and several little girls' names and ages verbatim. This memory amazed everyone. She thought to herself that the wife of the third room seemed to be a powerful person.
Mrs. Xu's mother-in-law is quite lively.
Therefore, after the wedding, everyone was counting the days to see when the third room would cause trouble.
However, the third room was very peaceful for several days in a row. Even some brave aunts, with the tacit consent of the second room of the eldest room, broke into the third room on pretexts. They did not see any sign of discord, so they sighed to themselves.
The new daughter-in-law is indeed very capable, even a mother-in-law like Mrs. Xu can handle it.
Only Su Yiqing could see it clearly. It wasn't that Jiang Yuebai was so clever, nor that Mrs. Xu was so fond of her daughter-in-law. On the contrary, Mrs. Xu was too busy to take care of her. She ignored Jiang Yuebai's existence, just like ignoring her.
Just like Su Yiqing before.
Mrs. Xu had to take care of the house, manage the finances, listen to reports from the servants, keep an eye on Mr. Su San's concubines, and also keep an eye on Su Jinxu's studies when she had time. Occasionally, she would take care of Su Yiqing in the remaining time. How could she still be in the mood to bother Jiang?
The moon is white.
The new daughter-in-law came in. Although Mrs. Zhou had asked her nanny to teach her some housekeeping chores and the etiquette and rules of the uncle's house, she didn't learn everything at once, including the management of dowry.
Everyone misunderstood that Jiang Yuebai's dowry was not given by Mrs. Xu out of honor, but by Mrs. Zhou secretly. Jiang Yuebai didn't want it at first, but Mrs. Mrs. Zhou made it very clear that it was not for her.
It's for the future great-grandson, but it's not easy to give it to him openly, he can only use it this way.
The dowry included a shop and a village. Jiang Yuebai had to take care of these things by herself under the guidance of her mother-in-law. Mrs. Xu did not have time to teach her. Fortunately, Jiang Yuebai was smart and capable. He knew everything, and he studied hard.
There was no mistake.
