September 26th, there are only two days left until Tian An and Zhao Yiming's wedding.
The mansion has already started hanging red lanterns and pasting big red double happiness stickers. Wedding candies and dried fruits have also been prepared.
As the grandmother, Mrs. An was afraid that Tian Mingwu, a rough man, would not be able to make proper arrangements, so she simply packed up her bags and moved in. She personally took care of all matters that day and only gave up after confirming that nothing was missed!
It was not until the evening that Tian An found out that there were eighteen loads of dowry coming with her.
At that time, the two were sitting in Tian An's yard looking at the moon in the sky.
But Tian An was looking at the moon, while Old Madam An was looking at her face with gentle eyes and a very focused expression.
Tian An knew that she was looking at An Wan through him, so he didn't interrupt her. He waited until she came back to her senses before he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Grandma, you must be missing my mother again!"
Madam An forced a smile and said, "Before your mother died, I prepared quite a bit of dowry for her. Unfortunately, it was never used in the end. Fortunately, I still have you."
Tian An imitated the girl's coquettish manner and snuggled in her arms, "Since it is a dowry for mother, then Xiaokang should also have a share."
Madam An tidied up her hair and said, "Don't worry! Grandma is saving Xiaokang's share for him!"
That night, Mrs. An and Tian An stayed together, so that the old lady could feel the atmosphere of sending her daughter to marry while sending her granddaughter to marry.
But on the bed, when Mrs. An taught Tian An the little things between men and women in bed, Tian An couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed.
I wanted to say I understood everything, but I was afraid of frightening the old man, so I could only imitate the other ladies and listen in silence, blushing.
After saying this, Madam An went on to tell her a lot about managing a household, governing subordinates, and controlling a husband. "Since your mother is not around, your grandmother will teach you personally."
That night, Tian An fell asleep listening to his grandmother's teachings.
When I opened my eyes again, it was September 27th, the last day before the wedding.
Han Xun and An Rong brought Yuntian back from Hope College early in the morning, and brought with them gifts from the students of the college.
Yuntian said that they didn't have much money, but they had started preparing a long time ago.
The boys would go to the nearby mountains to pick fruits or make traps to catch wild animals to sell after school, while the girls would embroider handkerchiefs, purses and other things and let them sell them together.
Everyone saved up their money and went to Peng's cloth shop to buy the finest bright red silk and silk thread from Peng Zhang.
Because he was afraid that his knowledge was limited and the things he made would not look good, he specially asked An Rong to help design the style and pattern.
Finally, all the female students worked together to embroider a picture of hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren to make a complete set of bed curtains.
Tian An stroked the delicate embroidery on the bed curtains, as if he could see those young faces, heads down, carefully embroidering stitch by stitch.
Madam An also nodded and said, "They are so thoughtful. You have put so much effort into adopting them and helping them."
Tian An asked Qing Ning and the others to put away the bed curtains, and called Xiang Tao, "Take someone to deliver this bed curtain to the Duke's Mansion and tell Madam Xiao that it will be used on the wedding day."
Xiangtao didn't say anything and asked someone to take the things and rush to the Duke's Mansion.
An Rong smiled and said, "If those children knew that you used the bed curtains they gave you on your wedding day, they would be so happy!"
While they were chatting and laughing, Yunxu also came in with two boxes.
Seeing that everyone was there, he bowed politely before placing the box in front of Tian An.
Pointing to one of the boxes, she said, "This is a gift from Brother Weizhen and Brother Zhiyan to me."
"Let's take a look at what these two guys have prepared?" An Rong urged curiously.
Madam An looked at the size of the box and guessed, "Looks like it should be jewelry!"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Tian An raised his hand to open the box, only to find that the box was actually divided into two layers. The upper layer contained two exquisitely crafted carved red gold necklaces inlaid with red and blue sapphires, and a pair of red gold filigree bracelets inlaid with gems.
The lower layer is neatly arranged with two hairpins, two hairpins and two hairpins inlaid with red gold. The styles are gorgeous and elegant, and it can be seen at a glance that they are not ordinary items.
Tian An didn't expect that these two guys could get such exquisite items.
Even Madam An and An Rong, who were used to seeing good things, were amazed.
An Rong subconsciously looked at Yun Xu and said, "Is this really prepared by Wei Zhen and Zhi Yan? Yun Xu, are you sure you got the right one?"
Yunxu nodded and said affirmatively, "It can't be wrong, Aunt Rong. Brother Weizhen gave it to me personally just now outside the courtyard, and I held it all the way into the house before putting it down."
At this time, Madam An picked up a bracelet and examined it for a moment. She looked at An Rong and Tian An and said, "This looks like something from the palace! Where did these two guys get it?"
Yunxu actually knew: "It seems that Sister Yaoyao helped Brother Weizhen and the others find someone to build it. Brother Weizhen even showed me the blueprints before, and they are exactly the same as these in the box!
Brother Weizhen and Brother Zhiyan even gave all the money they had to Sister Yaoyao!"
The three of them looked at each other, and Tian An subconsciously asked, "Yunxu, do you know how much silver the two of them gave Yaoyao?"
Yunxu thought for a moment and said, "Probably over a hundred taels! That's what we earned from setting up the stall before. I saw it when my three brothers were counting the money, and it was about that much."
An Rong gasped, "Over a hundred taels? These things wouldn't cost at least a thousand taels! Especially the two gems on the two necklaces. Even silver might not be enough to buy them."
