Chapter 303
In the next few days, many female relatives came to visit. Fang kept Madam Zuo's order in mind. Except for the few close ones who came to visit in the past, all other families were closed. Take care of Luo Tiandu's marriage with peace of mind.

Officials marrying daughters in the Beijing Dynasty are much more particular than those in the countryside. Not to mention Fang's confusion, Luo Tiandu himself is completely clueless. Fortunately, Mrs. Zuo sent a few people to help with cooking, which saved a lot of trouble.

Because of Luo Baisu's promotion, the Luo family didn't want to attract too much attention, so they didn't intend to make a big deal. They only invited a few acquaintances, and Qiushui Town just sent a letter to tell old man Luo that his little The granddaughter is getting married, but because of the long distance, it is not easy to go back to her hometown, so she got married in Beijing.

Old man Luo replied to the letter, and asked someone to bring some dried fruits and other goods, but the person didn't come.

When you get busy, the days pass like running water, and it's time to add makeup in a blink of an eye.

Obviously the Luo family only posted a few posts, but many guests came, and many of them were unknown.

The male customers outside are taken care of by Mrs. Zuo Ming and Luo Baisu. Inside, Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Ming are helping the Fang family, and Mrs. Jian is helping to take care of the banquet. When the two young ladies of the Zuo family get married, they are all taken care of by her. Yes, these things have been done well, and when I looked into the kitchen, I knew that there were not enough tables, so I temporarily pulled someone out to book a few more tables.

Luo Tiandu is the protagonist today, so he stayed by Fang's side to accompany those female relatives.

As for adding makeup, all the wives have to bring out one or two unique things as favors, most of them are small gadgets like jewelry, this is also an opportunity for the female relatives to compete with each other.

Mrs. Zuo is close to the Luo family, and added a wishful green jade hairpin, which is grand and solemn, which is in line with the Zuo family's usual style.

Mrs. Ming directly took off the jadeite bracelet she was wearing, put it on for Luo Tiandu herself, and said: "My family is poor, and I can't compare with them. You all know this, so I won't do it." I have worn this bracelet for many years, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not completely useless, so don't dislike it."

Mrs. Ming has always been straightforward and straightforward, among the noble ladies in Shangjing, Luo Tian liked her even more, and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Ming gave is just a grass, and I will save it as a treasure."

Mrs. Ming immediately pretended to be extremely regretful, beat her chest and said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, if you knew I would have brought a piece of grass here, my family has nothing else, the garden has as much grass as you want."

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Zuo pointed at her and said, "Look at her, she also has a little girl herself. When her little lady comes out of the cabinet tomorrow, I won't take anything, just pinch her in the garden." Send her two handfuls of grass, and you can eat and drink for a while, this deal is really not worth it."

Mrs. Ming was drinking tea. Hearing what she said, she almost couldn't hold back a sip of tea.She put the cup on the table and said, "Okay, you cheapskate, thankfully I've settled it early, and I'm waiting for you to add makeup to my family friend! It's all in vain now."

Everyone was speechless with laughter.

The others added some to their identities, neither too out of place nor shabby.

Just as he was talking, Xiqiao came in from the outside and said, "Mrs. Min from An Guogong's mansion has arrived."

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, her family had never had any contact with this An Guogong, but on this big day, he came here specially to add makeup to her, so she couldn't turn him away.

Fang was equally puzzled, and got up to greet her.

Mrs. Min is the eldest daughter-in-law of An Guogong. If An Guogong passes away in the future, her husband will be the heir of the Guogong Mansion. Although the title will be lowered by another level, it is not comparable to the Luo family.

As soon as Mrs. Min came in, she pulled Mrs. Fang and said very warmly: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Luo, I'm late. There are too many things in the mansion and I don't have time."

Fang said: "Don't dare, Mrs. Min can find time to come here, it is already a great thing."

"Oh, this is the little lady, right? Speaking of which, in the first few years, when you were in Beijing, I heard Princess Rui mention it, but she was always busy. I finally saw you today. Otherwise, I will have to go to Wei when I see you again. Your Excellency is in the house, and the door of his house is not so easy to enter." Mrs. Min said quickly.

These words were difficult to answer, Luo Tian could only purse his lips and smile.Since she got up this morning, she has been maintaining a smiling face, and now her face is frozen.

"Today is a good day for you, so I have to be a little bit more happy." Madam Min's makeup gift was a box of ten bright pearls of the same color and size.

That's a little too much.

Luo Tiandu's expression changed, and he glanced at Madam Zuo, and sure enough, Madam Zuo also frowned.

"This is too precious." Fang stood up and said, "She is a child's family, so she doesn't need this, Mrs. Min's kindness, I got it for her, Mrs. Min should put these beads away quickly. "

How can the gift of adding makeup be put away again?If it is spread, people will only make fun of Mrs. Min for not wanting to part with the beads, and she wants to be generous, and the face of Duke Anguo's family will be lost.

Mrs. Min really turned pale: "Could it be that Mrs. Luo thinks the gift is too light?"

Fang's mouth is not good at first, and it is even more difficult to answer now.

Luo Tian looked at Mrs. Zuo's face, and guessed that Mrs. Min's bead would not be collected today, so he stood up and looked at Mrs. Min, and said seriously: "I appreciate Mrs. Min's kindness, and I will not hide it from Mrs. Min. My family was originally from an ordinary farmer. , my family is poor, Mrs. Min sent such precious beads to add makeup to me, when the young ladies of your mansion come out of the cabinet in the future, we can't afford such an expensive gift in return, so we may have to add the beads back. On the contrary, I lost some kindness from Mrs. Min." After that, she blinked her eyes without waiting for Mrs. Min's reply, and continued, "I really like that gold bracelet on Mrs. Min's hand. If Mrs. Min doesn't dislike me for being greedy, why don't you give me away."

Mrs. Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Young lady is filial, she is about to leave the cabinet, and she still doesn't forget to take care of the housework for Mrs. Luo."

Fang also said: "Exactly, Mrs. Min, you also know that our family came from a small family. You gave it too expensively, and you will not be able to pay back this gift in the future."

If someone else said this, I don't know how many people would be offended, but Fang's impression in Shangjing was always that she was a country woman who was rustic and could not speak. He wouldn't demean himself and care about her seriously.

Fang said it so clearly, if Mrs. Min still wanted to give the Pearl away, it would be a bit difficult for others.

Mrs. Ming also came out to smooth things over and said: "Oh, ladies and gentlemen, you are all from aristocratic families, how do you know the suffering of our humble background, Mrs. Luo, only I can understand your feelings."

Among the wives present, only Mrs. Ming has a weaker family background.

"According to me, it's the makeup ceremony. In fact, the heart is the most important thing. What is the purpose of a girl's family getting married? Isn't Mr. Tu gentle and considerate, can he live with the girl wholeheartedly? We just need to be in our hearts for Miss Luo. Blessing is the best gift for her to add make-up, things and so on mean something, just do what you can, don’t you think?”

A poor family suffers from a poor family, and an aristocratic family also has its embarrassment.

The aristocratic family has a stronger foundation, but the family has a big business, and all kinds of expenses are also high, especially in Beijing, where comparisons are common, and the human relationship makes them a little overwhelmed. They can't be like Mrs. Ming. They are really tight, and they can still talk to people directly. Said that her family didn't have one, otherwise she would have been laughed to death.

In order to maintain the face of the aristocratic family, most of the time they tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and slap their faces swollen to pretend to be fat.

When Mrs. Ming said this, all the ladies felt sympathy.

Mrs. Min had no choice but to collect the beads, and took off the gold bracelet from her hand to add makeup to Luo Tian.

Luo Tiandu breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of this commotion, the atmosphere in the room became a little dignified, far less lively than before.

It just so happened that Luo Ming was afraid that the tea in the room would not be enough, so he came in to add more tea. Mrs. Min saw her, as if she had not seen a relative for many years, pulled her and said affectionately: "Mrs. Luo, this is the eldest lady of the house, sure enough. He has a good face." After speaking, his eyes turned red, and the tears fell down.

Luo Tian was speechless, not knowing where Mrs. Min was making such a fuss.

Mrs. Zuo was puzzled and said: "You are fine, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Min cried for a while before she wiped her eyes: "Oh, when I saw the eldest lady, it was as if I saw Sister Gu. My heart hurts so much that I can't bear it."

Speaking of Gu Qionghua, Mrs. Zuo was also silent, and it took a long time before she said: "Those are all old calendars, today is a good day for the little lady, you just have to bear it, if you want to be sad, I will cry with you when I go back." .”

Then Madam Min pursed her lips and smiled, "Hey, look at me, when I think of Sister Gu, I can't think of anything."

Among these noble ladies, several of them knew Gu Qionghua well. When Madam Min mentioned it, she couldn't help being a little sad.

Mrs. Min kept looking at Luo Mingdu lovingly, and Luo Ming was terrified. After refilling the tea, she hurriedly found a reason to go out.

It is not uncommon for people who are old with the Gu family to have seen Luo Mingdu. For example, Mrs. Zuo and the others, although they are also sad, are still reasonable. Only this Mrs. Min is the most exaggerated, giving people the feeling that she is really with Gu Qionghua is as nice as a real sister.

Considering age, if Gu Qionghua is still here, he would be sixty this year, but this Mrs. Min is only in her early forties. When the Gu family had an accident, Mrs. Min might not have been born yet, so there is no sisterhood.

It's so fake.

Luo Tian hadn't figured out the reason for Mrs. Min's visit when he saw Xiang Lan coming over and said that the banquet was ready, and he invited all the ladies to the table.

Everyone abandoned Luo Tiandu and Fang Shi, and led by Xiang Lan to go to the front for a drink, only Mrs. Zuo stayed for a while, and when they were all gone, she said to Luo Tiandu: "You did a good job just now, The niece of Mrs. Min's natal family is now the fourth prince's side concubine, and her family's things are not easy to collect."
