On the second day after the marriage was granted, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to deliver the very noble dowry.
The dowry in the palace has not yet entered the door. The anxious Xie Yu'an brought people to offer the offer. For a moment, the carriages and horses were like a dragon, and the people were shouting, blocking the three alleys and two streets where the Jing'an Marquis Mansion was located. .
The marriage between the two aroused the envy of everyone in Beijing.
Not to mention the dowry from the palace, the two ships of betrothal gifts sent by the Xie family were really too spectacular.
The stuff was so packed into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion that it couldn't be put down, so it was placed next door in the south courtyard where the door had just been opened.
"My uncle is really foresighted. He prepared the courtyard long ago, otherwise there would be no room to put it here." Bizhu couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, you don't know how everyone in the family praises my uncle. They all say that he is considerate. The wedding banquet will be held in our Marquis' Mansion and next door. When you get married, miss, you don't need to move the dowry and betrothal gift here and there. , otherwise they would be choked by so many things.”
Qiao Yin listened to Bizhu's mouth opening and closing "Uncle" and "Uncle", which was more intimate than calling her a young lady. She couldn't help but wonder: "Did Xie Yu'an do you any favors?"
Bi Zhu chuckled and took out a red purse, "Just now, when I came in, I gave everyone a gift of money. Everyone has it! It's cold weather, so I invite everyone to drink tea."
Seeing Bizhu's beaming expression, Qiao Yin knew that the purse was quite heavy.
Qiao Yin stretched out his hand towards her: "Whoever sees it has a share, give me half!"
Bi Zhu tightly clutched her purse, "Miss, don't be greedy like this. Your things are all over the yard outside. You are so rich now!"
Qiao Yin stopped teasing her, held her head and said, "How can I take care of so many things outside? My head is already big."
Bi Zhu smiled and said: "Young lady is the bride to be married, so you don't have to take care of it. The master has already invited a dozen experienced women and mothers to come to the Hou Mansion to help. Young lady, please rest, I will go and see you right away." Hold them."
Bizhu said it too early. The dozen women had experience, but not that much experience. They had never seen such a big battle before. They were in a hurry and still had to come and ask Qiao Yin about everything.
Qiao Yin was in high spirits. At this moment, a wave of people came to the Xie family's new mansion in the south courtyard next door. An old man in his early fifties came to Qiao Yin with a smile.
"Miss Qiao, this old slave is the housekeeper of the Xie family. On the order of our master, I came to assist your family in handling these betrothal gifts."
When Qiao Yinxiang saw the reinforcements, he immediately left him to the old housekeeper and asked respectfully, "Where is Mr. Xie?"
The old housekeeper replied: "The master of the house is discussing matters with the young master in the south courtyard next door. The master of the house said that after both parties have settled down, he will invite the Marquis to come over to the house... No, it should be over the 'wall'."
The old housekeeper had a very kind smile on his face.
Qiao Yin likes this old housekeeper, who is very friendly like Xie Yu'an.
Xie Yuan's father must be so approachable.
The snow that had stopped for half a day started to fall again, and it was freezing cold, but the whole house was full of joy, and everyone was working extremely hard, just like celebrating the New Year.
Qiao Yin had some free time, so she went to the kitchen to make some specialty snacks and sent them to the south courtyard to express her gratitude. While she was busy, Xie Yu'an came to look for her.
Xie Yu'an walked into the kitchen with his hands behind his back and an enigmatic smile on his face.
When the servants saw this, they all called out "Uncle" very cleverly, and then withdrew with smiles.
Qiao Yin couldn't laugh or cry, "General Xie, who is rich and powerful, doesn't the tea in the flower hall taste good? Why do you come to the kitchen?"
Xie Yuan walked up to her with his hands behind his back, still smiling slightly, "Everyone received my red envelope, and finally I found that there was one left. I thought about it for a long time, and it turned out that my sister Xiao Qiao didn't receive it."
Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand behind his back, and in his palm was a red purse, exactly the same as the one in Bizhu's hand just now.
Qiao Yin smiled under his doting gaze and scolded: "Prodigal son!"
As she said this, she took the purse he handed over, opened the drawstring, and poured it into her palm.
A ring fell out.
The gold-faced ring body holds a round purple jade stone.
The style is simple, and the purple jade on the lining is clean and translucent, very beautiful.
Qiao Yin's eyes were full of surprises. She wanted to announce to the world that Xie Yuan was the most romantic man in the world.
Xie Yuan smiled, picked up the ring, and put it on her ring finger accurately.
"Are you wearing the right one this time?"
Qiao Yin nodded, like a bizhu upper body, raised his hand to look at the light and admired it over and over again.
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"
She had to go to the warehouse to look around to see if there was anything suitable, and arrange one for her little An'an.
Xie Yu'an looked at her quietly with a smile, waiting for her to turn around and throw herself into his arms, and then screamed that she wanted to 'kiss him to death' on the mouth.
result……
The water in the pot is boiling.
Qiao Yin's steamed snacks are ready.
After admiring her ring, the woman turned around and went to serve pastries without even noticing what he was thinking.
She was obviously not like this before, is she tired of him?
Just as Xie Yuan was about to ask for some sweetness, Xie Qingxuan appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Qiao Yin.
"Sister Qiao, on the orders of my aunt, your future mother-in-law, I'm here to pick you up and play. Come with me quickly."
Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan naturally did not dare to compete with his mother, and said, "Go ahead, leave everything here to me."
An ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. In the future, her mother-in-law will send someone to invite her. Qiao Yin dare not refuse.
"I happened to make some snacks today."
Today, she specially made Luoshen Qinghua Cake, Longjing Tea Milk Cake, and White Peach Oolong Gorgon Cake according to the taste of Xie Fu's Xicha.
Qiao Yin divided the snacks into two portions, giving one to Xie Yu'an as a gift to Xie's father, and taking one with Xie Qingxuan when he went out.
Xie Yuan returned to the study room in the south courtyard with the food box and placed the things in front of Xie Yanxing.
"Thank you, Master, this is a snack for your future daughter-in-law to honor you."
Xie Yanxing raised his eyes from the gift list in his hand and nodded: "Well, let it go."
Xie Yu'an said worriedly: "Ayin specially prepared it. Father, you must try it."
Xie Yanxing said lukewarmly: "I know, you can get married and watch by yourself. You made a mess in such a hurry. It's a good thing that I brought someone to Beijing."
Growing up, my father seemed to only occasionally smile at my mother, but he always had such a cold expression and tone.
Xie Yuan has respected and feared him since he was a child, but he also knows that his father cares about him very much.
"Thank you father for running for your son and helping him convince the Marquis." Xie Yu'an said respectfully.
Xie Yanxing raised his eyelids: "I didn't do anything. I just drank three glasses of wine with Mr. Hou and showed him the family tree of our Xie family."
genealogy?
Xie Yuan was stunned.
Xie Yanxing waved his hand, "Go and do your work, I have to go back."
Xie Yanxing stood up expressionlessly, picked up the food box on the table, put his hands behind his back, and left.
Who said he couldn't eat his daughter-in-law's snacks?
Ah.
