Chapter 889
There will be no auspicious days in the first half of next year, so the wedding date will be finalized at the end of this winter month.

Wen Wan, as the princess who once represented the state of Chu as an envoy to Beiyan, the cousin of Emperor Xuan Jing, and the daughter of the eldest princess who protects the country, has countless people who have added makeup to her.

First of all, Emperor Xuanjing, Zhao Xi, sent Father-in-law Sanbao to send a red coral plant taller than a person, with eight handles of Ruyi, a hundred East Pearls weighing five taels of four coins, a set of bluestone Chaozhu, a set of birthstone Chaozhu, and a set of beeswax Chaozhu. Plates, a red sandalwood bed with landscape, blessing and longevity pattern, a red sandalwood inlaid glass large screen, a red sandalwood carved gourd pattern three-screen long couch, ten boxes of ivory wooden combs, twenty boxes of boxwood combs, and twenty boxes of grates , a pair of silver powder makeup boxes, four silver pots, eight jade cups, one golden Buddha, one sapphire and one purple jade Guanyin, and a pair of golden lotus bonsai.

The queen sent two boxes of mink fur, two boxes of sheepskin, one box each of fox skin and ermine skin, twenty pieces each of cloud brocade and Shu brocade, ten pieces each of moonlight silk and shark bead yarn, and five pieces each of palace yarn and spun crocus. ten horses.

There are also finished crane cloaks, plus one piece for each color and style, and another twenty pieces.

In addition to the emperor and empress, the concubines of the palaces, the concubine Qing who lives outside the palace, the wives of the various mansions, and the concubines of Jiuli also successively sent box-filling gifts.

As the Lu family's natal family, with the king of Beijing Lu Xingzhou, the old man of the state and the eldest son Lu Pingzhou, the dowry is destined to be extraordinary.

Babu bed, arhat bed, dressing table, inserting screen, folding screen, table screen, book case, incense case, piano case, bookshelf, flower stand, bogu stand, altar table, kang table, eight immortals table, wardrobe, medicine cabinet, square corner cabinet.

These are furniture, dowry in pairs, and all of them are made of high-quality wood, such as red sandalwood, rosewood, rosewood and sour branch chicken wing wood.

Next is the gold, stone, antique and jade ornaments.

Most of this part came from Lu Guogong. This is the first time Wen Wan has seen his grandfather's private goods. He has hidden treasures for decades, and now they have become her dowry one by one. Wen Wan looked at them one by one. The lotus-petal four-series pots, the brown-colored five-legged furnace of Yue Kiln, and the black-glazed brown-spotted bowl of Ding Kiln are all authentic antiques with a long history. Eighteen arhats, the painting tank is full of calligraphy masters of all dynasties and generations.

Any one of these antiques is worth a fortune.

There are only three words left in Wen Wan's mind at this moment: get rich!

She once heard from Song Wei that her grandfather had a special place for hiding antiques, which was under the Qiaojia Yizhuang, but it was broken into by Hao Yun back then, and it was bombed to pieces, leaving nothing behind.

If those antiques were still there, I'm afraid there will be more dowries today.

Turning her gentle eyes, she saw crates and crates of clothes, shoes, socks, cloaks and capes, which were prepared for all seasons of the year, and at least hundreds of sets were prepared for each season.

Except for the eyes in front of you, there is a pile of things in the back that can't be stacked, and they are all gold, silver, jewelry, agate and cat's eyes.

There are two boxes that are the most exaggerated. One box is specially used to hold large-value banknotes, and the other box is specially used to hold house deeds, land deeds, and a large bunch of keys, which are presumably the keys to the front of the shop.

Before Wen Wan was frightened by Song Wei's dowry, her little heart was beating fast, but now she was dazzled by the dowry that could not be piled up in a yard, and she became numb at the end, and turned her head to look at Zhao Xunyin, "Mother, Saburo and I just went for a walk. It's just a form, aren't you exaggerating too much?"

She and Song Wei got married for the first time 12 years ago. The dowry was nothing more than a canopy bed and a few quilts.

"Exaggeration?" Zhao Xunyin said: "Then you really should go to the warehouse to have a look, your grandmother is still directing the servants to move things out! The Lu family is not a prosperous population, and the wealth accumulated for decades is just for you These juniors, when Sister Qiao was married, she didn’t go out with her much, you are different from her, you are the princess, you have to follow the rules of the princess.” She said, her expression was very distressed, “plus the palace and The wives from other prefectures sent too many, 120 eight loads can’t hold it, any more will exceed the limit, otherwise, ask people to prepare a few more larger boxes and cages, and stuff everything that can be stuffed Go in, but it will be a bit heavy at that time, and you will have to work hard to send the team."

Gentle and speechless looking at the sky, is this the princess' regulation?You have reached the princess regulation, right?

Zhao Xunyin seemed to see through her thoughts, and said: "I am already a princess, His Majesty naturally won't seal you up again, in fact, in his heart, he probably agreed to allow you to be married as a princess, otherwise he wouldn't be sent so Lots of things."

Wen Wan took advantage of the situation and sat under the porch stool, took a look at the dowry list, and heard Zhao Xunyin exclaim.

"What's wrong?" Wen Wan raised her head.

"I almost forgot, and the betrothal gift from Saburo has to be counted as dowry and returned, it's too much, Wanwan, come and have a look, how do you pretend?"

Wen Wan replied: "Those who came from Sanlang, you just stay. If you come back again, you really have to exceed the limit. My reputation is not good. If I let outsiders see it, I'm afraid I'll have to poke my back and scold me for being spoiled." .”

The truth is this, but Zhao Xunyin still feels that it is wrong, "Why don't you go and see if there is anything you particularly like, pick it out and bring it with you, you can't leave all of them at your natal family, you don't have to make the Song family feel that I am really missing something. His dowry."

The weather was too cold, Wen Wan was too lazy to move, and continued to curl up on the porch stool with a cloak to look at the dowry list, with a very indifferent attitude, "Just take out the eight big pieces and I will take them with you, and keep the rest for yourself Well, it’s heavy, you don’t have to be tired enough to send off your loved ones.”

After counting the dowry, Zhao Xunyin went to the gentle Yanyun Pavilion, and said to her: "In a few days, the Liang family will also have wine, and the post has already been delivered, do you want to go?"

The Liang family, of course, is Liang Jun.

Wen Wan felt panicked when she heard this, "Which girl is following?"

"The second daughter of Honglu Siqing." Seeing Wen Wan pursing her lips, Zhao Xunyin said: "It is very rare for him to be able to stay with his dead wife for three years before remarrying. Jiaojiao has been gone for so long, you should see it or not open."

Wen Wan never cared about the death of Song Jiao and her mother-in-law, especially now that Jiao Jiao's original husband was going to marry another woman, Wen Wan was worried that she would do something uncontrollably if she went.

"Mom, I don't want to go."

Wen Wan's complexion was gloomy, Jiao Jiao was a scar in her heart.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go, just stay at home and wait for marriage." Zhao Xunyin could understand her, "I'll just go."

……

On the day of Liang Jun's wedding, Wen Wan put on a cloak, took a hand stove with him, took Bai Ling and Du Juan, and took a small carriage to the tomb in the suburbs of Beijing. When he arrived, he found that the snow in front of Song Jiao's grave had just been swept away. Fresh melons and fruits were placed on the table, and some half-burned papers were blown far away by the wind. The incense in the incense burner had not yet been burned out, and light smoke curled up.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Wen Wan was in a daze for a moment, raised her eyes and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

Bai Ling asked, "Could it be the Liang family?"

Du Juan nodded in agreement, "I heard that Mr. Liang has a very strong relationship with his wife, and now it's time for a reunion. It's time for people to come and worship."

Looking down gently at Song Jiao's cold tombstone, she feels lonely and uncomfortable.

When Zhao Xunyin came back at night, she asked her gently, "Is the bride beautiful?"

"I didn't go to the new house to join in the fun." Zhao Xunyin sat down, and Doukou hurriedly poured her a cup of hot tea.

Zhao Xunyin took it and looked at Wen Wan, "Did you go to the tomb in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"Yeah." Wen Wan's voice was muffled, thinking of Jiaojiao's tomb covered in wind, rain, and snow, and thinking about Liang's wedding, her throat was choked, and she sighed after a long time: "I hope he doesn't just because of the newcomer." Forget Jiaojiao."

……

Winter Moon 28 is an auspicious day for getting married.

The servants of the Lu family get up before dawn to prepare the dinner.

Wen Wan is someone who has been married once, compared to the real newlyweds, she is extraordinarily calm, originally wanted to sleep enough to recover, but didn't want to be dragged out of bed by Zhao Xunyin before the time came.

"A lot of wives and young ladies from aristocratic families came outside to give you a wedding. Hurry up and tidy up, don't let people see the joke."

Seeing Wen Wan's dazed eyes, Zhao Xunyin frowned, "Didn't you wait for a moment when Na Cai was in a hurry? Now that the end is coming, you can hold your breath."

Wen Wan stretched out her hands and raised the corners of her eyes to wake herself up. When she met Zhao Xunyin's reproachful gaze, she smiled and said, "I'm 28, not eighteen, and it's not the first time I'm married. Wouldn't the tense and shy posture make people laugh?"

Mrs. Xiao Liu and Aunt Wen greeted the ladies who came to marry Wen Wan, and Zhao Xunyin accompanied Wen Wan to talk in the boudoir.

Leaning in Zhao Xunyin's arms tenderly and affectionately, "Mother, after I get married, will you and father take Yan Li to the fief?"

Zhao Xunyin nodded, and brushed her long black hair, "I will come back to see you when I have a chance."

Wen Wan just listened to these words casually. Her father's fief is so far away, and it takes two months to go back and forth. Unless the emperor summons her to Beijing to report on her duties, how can she come back?

The Song family came to pick up the bride in the evening, and Wen Wansi began to take a bath and put on makeup. She was very hungry, but she still had to hold back. She was not superstitious before, and since she married Song Wei, she had to be careful in everything she did. Who can predict such a thing?If she eats too much and breaks the rules of her ancestors and hurts Song Wei, then all the hard work she has done before will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately cheered up.

At this moment, Concubine Qing, Aunt Wen, Xiao Liu, Aunt Wen's natal relatives, Xiao Liu's natal relatives, Mrs. Lu's nephews and grandchildren, and the wives and daughters of the Lu family all gathered in the gentle boudoir. Come and watch Granny Quan Fu dress her up.

When she got married in Ningzhou, there were not many people who gave her away, and at that time she couldn't speak, she couldn't get along with others, so she didn't have to worry about other things, but now she was embarrassed by such a group of people, After finishing the makeup, the originally delicate face was already dyed red.

Bai Ling and Du Juan helped him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and went to the inner room to change the wedding dress.

It took about a stick of incense to come out.

Everyone raised their eyes and were stunned.

I saw the bride standing beside the twelve rain-beating plantain screens, wearing a red phoenix brocade blouse with dark flowers and gold silk with large sleeves, fastened with a light gold pearl button on the front, and the shoulders and skirt are painted in gold to outline the flowers and stalks. , Lifelike, the peony girdle hangs down to the knees, the end is adorned with jasper pendants, and the skirt drags the floor. When walking, you can see two oriental beads inlaid on the embroidered shoes of Feng wearing peony.

Wen Wan is not her first marriage. She has been the mistress of the Song family for nine years, and she has been the princess for several years. Compared with the year she first married at the age of 28, at the age of 16, she has lost the youthful and shyness of a girl, and her eyebrows and eyes are more mature. Regardless of appearance or temperament, it can fully support the aura of the wedding dress.

Xiao Liu's eyes were full of surprises, "Sister Wan is really beautiful today."

Wen Wan said without any shyness: "I am usually beautiful."

"Yes, yes, you are the most beautiful." Xiao Liu covered her lips and smiled, "The groom will be dumbfounded when he lifts his hijab."

"He won't." Wen Wan muttered in a low voice.

Song Wei is not the kind of person who looks happy, no matter how much he likes or dislikes people and things, there will always be one expression on his face: silence.

Because of his own experience, he matured earlier than his peers, so from the first day Wen Wan knew him to the present, he has always had a stable and stable image, which has never collapsed.

"By the way, why don't you see Brother Bin?" Zhao Xunyin looked outside, but saw no one, "Look at the time, the sedan chair is coming soon, and he has to go out with Wanwan on his back."

Xiao Liu replied, "Father arranged a task for him, and asked him to stop the bridegroom outside the door for a while, otherwise he would be fined to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy Buddhist scriptures. Brainstorming questions!"

Wen Wan was funny, "If it's a question, how could Brother Bin stop Saburo?"

"I also think it's impossible." Xiao Liu believed that Lu Yanbin would be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but when the sound of gongs and drums rang for a stick of incense, the groom hadn't come in yet.

"It seems to be blocked." Zhao Xunyin stepped out of the boudoir, "I'll let someone go and have a look."
