Chapter 1 Houfu's eldest son [08]
The Weining Marquis Mansion had already prepared for the wedding with great fanfare. Looking at the joyful arrangements in the mansion, Fu Yuanze felt that it was annoying everywhere, so he hid in his yard to study, hoping to get the chance to get Jie Yuan in the next provincial examination.
Yuan Jia, the prospective groom, is leisurely, and he doesn't need to worry about marriage at all. He has the help of Mrs. Weining, who only needs to prepare to change into the groom's outfit on the wedding day to go to Fang Mansion to pick up the bride.
But Yuan Jia wouldn't really do nothing, just waiting for the wedding date to come.
From time to time, he went out to look for some interesting things or novel jewelry and sent people to the Fang Mansion to express his feelings to his fiancee.
Fang Yan, who received the gift, would give her some self-made books or homemade bookmarks and other items to respond to Yuan Jia's wishes.
Although the unmarried couple did not meet, Hongyan was very happy to pass the letter.
The unmarried couple Fu Yuanze and Luo Qing were different. Luo Qing waited for nothing to come when Fu Yuanze was so arrogant that she finally gave her a hand-embellished purse to Fu Yuanze. She did not get a response, which was in sharp contrast to Fang Yan who could receive a gift from time to time.
Luo Qing was so jealous that her whole heart was drowned in the jar of jealousy.
Why is Fang Yan so lucky in this life? When Luo Qing got engaged to Fu Yuanjia in the last life, she didn't care so much about her. It was because the two of them slowly got together after marriage before their relationship became better. Luo Qing changed her engagement in this life, but Fu Yuanze also didn't care about her at all.
If there is no comparison, Luo Qing might be able to calm down and think about how to manage her married life, but with Fang Yan doing the comparison, she would be dissatisfied everywhere.
Luo Qing, who had made a comparison group for herself, felt very regretful. If she had known this, she would rather let Fu Yuanjia marry another girl than push Fang Yan to him!
However, things were already foregone conclusion, Luo Qing could only watch Fang Yan with red eyes and was highly valued by Fu Yuanjia before getting married. The wedding date was getting closer and closer. Fang Yan got married from Fang Mansion on the selected auspicious day, and the Luo family was still eager to follow her grandfather to the Fang Mansion to send Fang Yan off for marriage!
Yuan Jia, wearing a big red wedding robe, rode a tall horse to meet the bride. The handsome young man with a beautiful and beautiful dress looked particularly happy and enthusiastic. He sat on the tall horse without anyone helping him to lead the horse. He held the reins with one hand and tamed the horse under him to obediently.
"The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Amid the festive firecrackers, Yuan Jia dismounted and walked into the Fang Mansion. The people who blocked the road along the way were male members of the Fang family and male members of the Luo family, who acted as Fang Yan's brothers, but how could they really dare to stop Yuan Jia, the prince of the Marquis's family? Yuan Jia easily received the bride.
The bride should have been carried by the bride's brother, but Fang Yan was the only daughter. Yuan Jia felt sorry for her that she had no brothers, and did not ask the Fang family's side branches or the Luo family's cousins to carry Fang Yan. She took the initiative to carry Fang Yan on the serene, and the importance of it was obvious.
Except for Mr. Luo, the highest-ranking person at the scene, how dare the others point fingers at Yuan Jia? Mr. Luo is not a pedantic person and is happy to see his grandson-in-law value love for his granddaughter. So everyone watched Yuan Jia carry Fang Yan into the sedan chair unruly, but none of them said any objections.
As an unmarried female family member, Luo Qing shouldn't have come out to show up in public, but today is the day when her "ex-husband" marry her cousin. She felt unhappy, so she secretly came out and hid and looked at the scene of Fu Yuanjia picking up the bride. As a result, she happened to see the scene where Yuanjia, who was handsome and unintentional in red, put Fang Yan, who was covered with a red veil, on the back of the sedan chair.
Luo Qing was stunned and was stunned. When the wedding party had already left, she came to her senses. At some point, several crescent marks were pinched into her palm.

Mrs. Luo looked at the dowry carried out like flowing water from Fang Mansion, and her eyes turned red like Luo Qing.
These dowries almost got into her pocket!
Since Mrs. Luo learned that Fang Yan's parents had both died and left only Fang Yan, the orphan girl and the wealth of the whole family, she has been thinking about the wealth of the Fang family. Unfortunately, Mr. Luo is in charge of it, so she only dares to deduct it from Fang Yan occasionally, and dare not take it seriously.
But she had already planned that the old man was old. She delayed Fang Yan for a few more years and pushed him up. When the old man left, he would marry Fang Yan to another place with a simple dowry. By then, all the Fang family's wealth would fall into her hands.
But now she had a good plan, she could only watch Fang Yan bring the Fang family's wealth into the Weining Marquis' Mansion without deducting a single point.
Although the Fang family is not rich, the entire Fang family has been passed down for several generations and the family has a considerable wealth. Even Fang Yan's dowry is not all the property, so one-third of it. When Fang Yan's first dowry was sent to the Weining Marquis' Mansion, the last dowry had just been carried out from the gate of the Fang Mansion.
Not to mention how outsiders would envy the groom who looked at the huge dowry-carrying team that envied today. When the dowry was carried into the Weining Marquis' Mansion to show the dowry, Fu Yuanze saw his sister-in-law's dowry full of dry goods, and his mood became even more uneasy.
In terms of wealth, there are naturally much more Weining Hou Mansion than Fang’s family, but the wealth of the Hou Mansion does not mean that Fu Yuanze is not short of money.
The Marquis of Weining did not treat his concubine's son and daughter seriously. Her attitude was to ignore it. Apart from the marquis's family's provisions for the illegitimate children, there was nothing extra. If you want it, you could ask your own mother to subsidize him.
But Aunt Zhang is a maid and a slave. Even if she was born in Fu Yuanze and became a good daughter by Weining Hou, she would not be able to change her background. How much money can she have to subsidize her children?
As the prince of the Hou's Mansion, Fu Yuanze spent a lot of money on socializing with his friends, so he sometimes felt worried about money.
Therefore, Fu Yuanze was so jealous that he saw his legitimate brother marrying a wife with a ten-month dowry.
Originally, because Aunt Zhang comforted him, "No matter how high the status of a lady in the Fang family is, she is an orphan whose parents die. She can't give much help to the prince. How can she be as supportive of Miss Luo, who is supported by her grandfather, father and brother?" Fu Yuanze gradually felt that his marriage was better than Yuan Jia's marriage, so he was less jealous of Yuan Jia.
As a result, Fu Yuanze felt uneasy again when he saw the dowry posted by his sister-in-law.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself secretly: "It's okay, Fu Yuanjia is just a fortune! I married the only legitimate daughter of the Luo family, so the dowry will definitely not be worse than this one!"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Yuan Jia didn't think so much about getting married, and happily married his fiancée home. However, he didn't expect that Fu Yuanze and Luo Qing had so many inner thoughts. They drank vinegar as water, and they were so sour.
After the wedding, I entered the bridal chamber.
Fang Yan sat nervously on the wedding bed. No matter how smart she was, she was still an uninformed girl after all. She was extremely nervous when she got married for the first time.
Suddenly, I felt a figure appear in front of me, and only a pair of men's feet could be seen from under the red veil.
She remembered the first time she saw her husband in the side hall of the garden of the Marquis of Weining that day. At that time, she was shocked in her heart that there was such a beautiful man in the world who was almost fascinated by beauty and forgot to leave.
I never dared to look at Fu Yuanjia for a few more times. One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is that it is unlikely that a woman can remain unwavering when she sees such a prosperous era of beauty.
Yuan Jia held the scale and lifted the veil of the bride. Fang Yan mustered up the courage and looked shyly at Yuan Jia in a bright red wedding dress. She saw that the handsome young man in front of him seemed to be glowing under the swaying candlelight, standing tall and handsome, with a beautiful tree facing the wind.
Fang Yan stared at him in a daze, but couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Yuan Jia couldn't help laughing, and the smile shone brightly in the room: "Madam, are you satisfied with being a husband?"
Fang Yan came to her senses, her face turned red, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.
Yuan Jia asked the servants to retreat, and there were only two couples who had just gotten married in the new house.
Seeing that Fang Yan was very nervous and it was still early, Yuan Jia helped her take off the heavy jewelry on her head while introducing her to the situation in the Hou's Mansion.
"If you marry me, I will not let you suffer grievances. My father and mother are easy to get along with. My father is majestic but will not interfere in the affairs of the back house. My mother is not the kind of person who likes to make things difficult for others. If someone she doesn't like will ignore it directly. You praise your mother more often on weekdays, and she likes to listen to good things..."
"My sister is married and has a son. She is rarely back on weekdays. My sister has always liked to compare with me and is not aware of her words, but you don't have to care. He dares not be disrespectful to you. My sister should be quite at ease. She usually has little contact with her, and only remembers that she is a quiet girl..."
Yuan Jia told her all the masters in the Marquis's mansion that Fang Yan was paying attention to, but in his introduction, she didn't have to care about anyone except the Marquis of Weining and his husband.
Fang Yan nodded with a smile and replied: "I understand!"
As they were talking, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer.
Yuan Jia asked with concern: "Are you hungry? I have prepared two bowls of vegetarian noodles in the kitchen, so you can eat a bowl with me!"
Fang Yan got up early today to prepare. In order not to have three urgent problems on the happy day, she had not had a drop of water, so she ate two snacks and put them on her stomach. Now she is so hungry that her chest is pressed against her back.
After a while, a maid brought two large bowls of plain noodles. Although it was plain noodles, this noodles were cooked in broth, and the ingredients were very particular and delicious.
