On the sixth day of the eighth month, Zhu Shiyu married Dong Biqing, the third daughter of the wealthy businessman in the county, to go through the family.
Last year, Gillian went out of the house and set up several tables under Zhu Chang's insistence. However, this time Zhu Shiyu got married, which was a good marriage that made Jin extremely satisfied. Jin naturally had more grand arrangements. There were 16 tables of tables in front and back yards of the Zhu family. It started to be lively from noon, with the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and many firecrackers that were blown away fell to the Zhao family's yard.
Gillian sat under the window to do embroidery work. Last night, after she settled the accounts, the official asked for another time. When she recalled the love, she blushed. She couldn't come here, so how could she envy her aunt or cousin? A person like her cousin is short, mediocre, sinister and rude. She wouldn't want to hire her as her wife Gillian, and would rather be a concubine for a tall, handsome and responsible official.
The bride was about to enter the door at dusk, and Cui Niang came to say hello to the little lady. The little lady didn't object, so Cui Niang ran outside to see the bride.
The bride naturally sat in the sedan chair, and when she got out of the sedan chair, she covered her red veil. The men, women, and young people who were idle in the neighborhood came over like Cui Niang. She couldn't see the bride's face, so she commented on the bride's figure in a lingering manner.
Cui Niang hoped that Miss Dong could cure Jin, but she didn't want Zhu Shiyu's clumsy to marry a fairy-like figure, so she silently hoped that Miss Dong would be a tigress and would not suffer any losses. She could still suppress Jin. The mother and son could not say that they had any hardships.
Under the watch of relatives, the groom Zhu Shiyu and the bride took the red silk that had been made into flowers to the west wing respectively.
Many women squeezed in to see the true face of the bride. Seeing that Jin had no time to stare at her, Cui Niang squeezed in. Relying on her petite and willing to go out, Cui Niang kept pushing to the door of the new house. When she arrived here, Cui Niang hid behind a fat woman honestly, and didn't mess with her, just waiting to see the bride.
Zhu Shiyu was the person who was most eager to see the bride at this time. After the matchmaker shouted, Zhu Shiyu picked up the red paint scale rod and raised the veil in anticipation.
Dong Biqing is actually not satisfied with Zhu Shiyu's appearance, but her parents are right. She is not beautiful and has a high vision. After three or four years of choosing, she can only marry Zhu Shiyu. Finally, Zhu Shiyu became a scholar at a young age and has great hope in her career.
Now that he has married, Dong Biqing is willing to do so. Like every bride, she lowered her eyes shyly and asked the man's relatives to look at him.
She dressed up in a very beautiful manner than usual, and the gold jewelry on her end also added to her bride, but her foundation was there, with her long face and small eyes. Anyone could tell that the bride was really not beautiful.
Zhu Shiyu's disappointment was written on his face at that time.
Dong Biqing's two dowry maids silently remembered the expressions of everyone. It doesn't matter to others. Seeing this short, thin and ordinary son-in-law Zhu Shiyu, he dared to dislike his lady. Both maids were very unhappy, but their feelings were all made, so they were willing to observe and observe again. If the son-in-law was nice to the lady later, he would dislike him at first sight. After all, the lady was really not beautiful.
Cui Niang saw the bride and sneaked out while Jin Shi was not paying attention.
"Miss Dong, I saw Miss Dong. She is not as beautiful as me, and she can't compare with you!"
Cui Niang ran back to the Zhao family and said to her little lady like a good news that she was not hostile to Miss Dong, but was glad that Zhu Shiyu did not marry a rich and beautiful wife. After all, Zhu Shiyu was not worthy!
Upon hearing this, Ajiao smiled and said to Cui Niang: "You are just a little dark and look pretty, especially with your eyes. It's normal for Miss Dong to look good as you, and it's not a disadvantage."
Cui Niang snorted: "Anyway, I'm very satisfied. A person like Zhu Shiyu, giving him a fairy is a waste of resources."
Gillian said in surprise: "Do you still know how to waste natural resources?"
Cui Niang smiled and said, "Sister Qiuyue told me that she has read books and knows a lot."
There are few rooms that the Zhao family can live in. Qiuyue has always lived in the same house and sleeping in the same bed with Cuiniang. Now, among the women Cuiniang has seen, the first thing she likes is the little lady, and the second thing she likes is sister Qiuyue, who is beautiful, diligent and contented, unlike Danrong, who is so evil in the demon, she is not a serious girl at first glance.
The two were chatting in the room, and Zhao Yanping was back.
Cui Niang immediately went to the kitchen to scoop the rice, and Jiao went to bring the water.
The house is usually quiet, but today the Zhu family next door is too lively, making the Zhao family seem noisy.
"Official, the old lady has been back for more than a month. Are you coming back soon?"
Hearing some old woman's laughter, Gillian suddenly remembered Mrs. Zhao. Calculate her days, Danrong's courtyard should have been built. With her beauty and family business, the men in the village should rush to marry her. Once Danrong decides to be a family, Mrs. Zhao can retire successfully.
Gillian naturally hopes that Mrs. Zhao will live in the countryside for a longer time, but Mrs. Zhao and the official have been dependent on each other for so many years and will definitely come back.
Zhao Yanping looked at her and lowered his eyes and said, "Why are you called an official?"
Gillian blushed and lowered her head and said, "I can't scream during the sun."
Zhao Yanping was silent for a moment and changed the topic: "In a few days in Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to the Shen family to send festival gifts on the 14th day and go over and take a look."
Mid-Autumn Festival is the reunion festival. Gillian guesses that Mrs. Zhao will definitely be back before Mid-Autumn Festival.
As night fell, the banquet of the Zhu family finally dispersed and the whole street became quiet.
Zhu Shiyu was a scholar who was not good at drinking. After being drunk, he was vomited several times by everyone. Jin first helped his son back to their house to sober up, wiped off the dirty things on his body, and then called the two maids beside Dong Biqing to pick up his son.
Dong Biqing's two dowry maids named Chunlan and Dongmei. Because Dong Biqing was not beautiful enough, the maid she chose for herself was even more mediocre, but Dong Biqing treated the maids very well. Chunlan and Dongmei were also loyal to their masters. At this time, they helped their son-in-law who was drunk and walked towards the new house, and both girls felt that it was not worth it for Dong Biqing.
"Miss, look at my son-in-law like this."
After entering the house, Chunlan and Dongmei stood with the drunk Zhu Shiyu and looked helplessly at Dong Biqing who had taken off her makeup.
Dong Biqing was also quite disgusted, but she got married. Because of Zhu Shiyu's talent, Dong Biqing was willing to endure it. Besides, men are drunk and drunk. When they wake up tomorrow morning, Zhu Shiyu is a scholar, who is gentle and kind, and should be able to watch it.
"Please help my son-in-law to the bed, you can get out first." Dong Biqing ordered.
Chunlan and Dongmei got the order and went out after finishing their work, but they did not return to the room. They stood side by side in front of the west wing door in case the lady had any other instructions.
The first time Jin had a maid to serve him, she hid in front of the window of the east room and stared at her son's west wing, preparing to see how the maids served people, and she was about to start her mission.
Zhu Chang also drank a lot tonight. Without Jin's leisure, he fell asleep in bed first.
On the west side, Zhu Shiyu was just drunk and still had consciousness. Dong Biqing came over to help him with a lot of wine robe. Zhu Shiyu looked at the woman beside him with drunken eyes. Dong Biqing's facial features, which had taken off her makeup, were even more indescribable. Only her face was very white, and when the lights reflected, she showed a little bit of blushing.
When Zhu Shiyu compares his delicate cousin, he definitely doesn't like this wife, but he doesn't like him anymore. Dong Biqing is the only woman he can have at present. Thinking of the beautiful things described in the book, Zhu Shiyu's blood and energy surged, and suddenly grabbed Dong Biqing and pressed him into the bed.
It was the first time that the eldest girl was sitting in Hua Jiao. Dong Biqing also tasted some sweetness. As soon as she was sweet, she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Thinking of her mother's reminder last night, Dong Biqing gritted her teeth and endured it. Fortunately, not long after, in just a few blinks, Zhu Shiyu stopped and tilted his head to one side.
As soon as Dong Biqing recovered from the discomfort, Zhu Shiyu's snoring from his wine came from beside him.
The cave that had been fantasizing about for a long time. This was the case in the room. Dong Biqing suddenly felt bored and called out the door to the maids to bring her water.
Chunlan and Dongmei became busy skillfully. When the master got to bed, they went to the east wing and went to bed with the two nannies in the kitchen.
On the Zhao family, Gillian is still calculating today's accounts, and Zhao Yanping sat opposite him to watch the "Lu Taigong's Case Review".
It was quiet at night, and the noise in the west wing of the Zhu family could not be heard. The sound of the two maids splashing water was very clear. Gillian was a little distracted and looked out the window.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yanping asked her.
Gillian lowered her head and said gloatingly while fiddling with abacus: "Cui Niang said, Miss Dong is not very beautiful."
Zhao Yanping put down the book of these little women's thoughts and looked at her account book: "Are you going to do it soon?"
Gillian nodded and focused on finishing up.
Zhao Yanping went out. When Jiao settled the bill and packed her desk, she saw him bringing in half a bucket of hot water.
Both of them wiped their bodies and washed their feet, and the usefulness of this bucket of hot water was self-evident.
Ajiao blushed into the gauze tent.
"What does Dong's beauty have to do with you?"
Zhao Yanping asked while kissing her.
Ajiao rubbed his hair randomly and hummed softly, Xue Cuiniang said, "My cousin just married a rich wife, and my aunt came over to show it to me. If Miss Dong is so beautiful, her aunt and cousin's tails will not be raised to the sky."
Zhao Yanping hoped that Dong was beautiful enough, so beautiful that Zhu Shiyu was devoted to her and stopped thinking about Gillian.
Zhao Yanping could control Zhu Shiyu and didn't dare to come to Jiao again to be arrogant, but he couldn't control what Zhu Shiyu was thinking. They were all men. What would Zhu Shiyu think of Jiao? Zhao Yanping could guess at him completely.
Zhao Yanping couldn't even think about Zhu Shiyu.
"Don't mention them." Zhao Yanping picked up Gillian and lowered his head to kiss her.
The bucket outside the bed was quietly emitting white mist, but because the men and women in the gauze tent had not finished yet, the hot water also turned into cold water.
When Zhao Yanping finally put on wet wipes to wipe A Jiao, A Jiao, who was almost asleep, took a breath and complained softly: "It's so cold."
Autumn is really coming.
Gillian can tolerate it, so Dong Biqing has already started washing her face with warm water.
Early in the morning, knowing that Chunlan, whom she was used to, Dongmei went to the kitchen to scoop two basins of hot water and mix them. Each of them took a basin to serve the lady and son-in-law.
When he woke up, Zhu Shiyu woke up completely. When he saw Dong Biqing with a plain face, Zhu Shiyu smiled reluctantly. Looking at Chunlan and Dongmei again, he became even more dead. Like a talented man in the book, he not only married a beautiful lady, but also allowed him to take over the lady's pretty maid's heart.
Dong Biqing is just not beautiful, she is neither stupid nor blind, and she sees Zhu Shiyu's dislike, Dong Biqing directly said: "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, I know that my husband is not satisfied with my appearance, but I can help my husband continue to take the exam without worries. When his husband passes the juren and is granted an official position, my Dong family's wealth can help him get a step-by-step promotion. At that time, you and my husband will prosper together, and how many people will envy him."
Zhu Shiyu was attracted by the prospect she portrayed and realized that she had many places to rely on the Dong family, so she finally suppressed her unwillingness.
He apologized to Dong Biqing, and Dong Biqing smiled and served him as if he was washing his face.
After washing, Chunlan and Dongmei had to serve Dong Biqing to comb their hair and dress up, so Zhu Shiyu went out first.
Jin stood in front of the main hall and waited for a long time. Seeing that only his son came out, Jin frowned and said, "Where are those two maids? Why haven't you come out yet? Your father and I are still waiting to wash our faces. We ask them to bring the water quickly."
Jin's voice was not low, and Dong Biqing and his servants all heard it in the east wing.
Chunlan looked at Dongmei in surprise, and Dongmei looked at the lady. They were just here to serve the lady. How could Jin actually expect them to serve?
At this time, Zhu Chang said to Jin impatiently: "The kitchen water is ready, you and Shuangshuang will go and scoop water by themselves, why bother to call them?"
Jin Shi glared at him and said, "The maid is bought and used. Why don't I use it? I have served you all my life, and now I should enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren. There are also twins. She will immediately talk about marriage and get married, and she must be even more delicate. She can't make her hands thicker."
Now Chunlan and Dongmei understood that Jin did not want to order them once, but to order them all year round!
Both maids are big maids in the Dong family. Apart from serving the ladies in person, they don’t have to do much work. To be honest, they live better than Jin and Zhu Shuangshuang. The lady also said before getting married that they only need to serve their son-in-law after they come over, and their parents and sisters have nothing to do with them.
"Miss, what should I do?" Chunlan asked Dong Biqing.
Dong Biqing had long heard of Jin's character, greedy and mean, and even her niece could be sold to that kind of place. Dong Biqing had long thought that Jin was polite to her and she would give Jin a face. The two maintained a friendly relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but if Jin wanted to show off her mother-in-law's poem in front of her and make her feel uncomfortable, Dong Biqing would never spoil her!
Now that she has just passed by, Jin is going to steal her maid, Dong Biqing will definitely not let her do it!
Some rules must be established from the beginning. If you compromise, Jin dares to bully him three times.
Zhu Chang couldn't say that Jin was not going to quarrel early in the morning and was going to take the water by himself.
Jin stopped him and winked at his son.
Zhu Shiyu's idea was that anyway, it was all maids, so what if Chunlan and Dongmei did more things?
Zhu Shiyu retreated to the house, but before he could speak, Dong Biqing smiled and said, "Husband, Chunlan and Dongmei have served me since childhood. They are busy all day and can barely serve me well. Now they still have to take care of my husband. If we are sent to serve our parents-in-law and sister-in-law, then we will be too busy here. Please ask your husband to explain to our mother-in-law."
She said, Chunlan and Dongmei were still surrounding her to help her dress up.
Seeing that both maids were indeed occupied, Zhu Shiyu went to tell his mother.
When Zhu Chang heard it in the house, he felt embarrassed and warned Jin not to think about taking advantage of his daughter-in-law.
Jin stared at the window of the west wing. His daughter-in-law was so rich that she was so stingy that the maid didn't give her any use? If she couldn't take any advantage, why did she marry Dong Biqing as her daughter-in-law and let Dong Biqing get the glory of the scholar's son in vain?
No, the daughter-in-law here must be treated well!
