Chapter 294: Yang Qingqing's Wedding
He does so much and deserves this monthly salary, but she still thinks it is too little. What she does as a hands-off boss is really unique.
Basically, she never worried about Bingjitang and only took a look at the workshop. Anyway, everything was in good order, much more neat and tidy than her Yuyantang. Su Wan had to learn these things from her.
"Then I won't be polite with you. I don't mind having too much money!" Qiu Niang is a straightforward person, and Su Wan likes dealing with her.
The matter of opening a branch was decided. I would go to Suzhou and Yanzhou first and give her 12,000 taels of silver as start-up capital, which should be enough.
…
Before they knew it, Su Wan and Jiang Yu had been separated for more than three months, and they finally received a letter from the border.
Jiang Yu's letter said that the war had already broken out on the border. He found Su Chen in the new recruits' camp and transferred him to work under Duke Jiang.
Su Chen was fine and told his family not to worry. He said the knee pads made by Wan Wan were really useful and a great help. In the freezing cold border, everyone's knees were sore from the cold, but he was the only one who was safe and sound.
Both of them are now the lowest-level soldiers. Even someone like Jiang Yu has to squeeze into a large bunk bed with a group of soldiers.
Snow was still falling in the north, and even though Jiang Yu was wearing the most ordinary soldier's armor, it couldn't hide his innate nobility.
He stayed with Su Chen, eating and warming around the campfire.
The two of them watched the snow in the sky evaporate as it approached the fire. Su Chen stared at the fire in a daze, drinking a sip of hot water from time to time, and sighed:
"Xiangzhou should be gradually getting warmer now, with spring flowers blooming. It's unlike this border area, which is desolate everywhere."
It was not difficult to hear from his words that he missed home. During the more than half a year at the border, the two sides had been testing each other, and he had no chance to go directly to the front line while he was in the recruit camp.
"Why, are you missing home?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile.
"I do, of course I do. Which of you here doesn't miss home? I don't know how long this war will take."
Su Chen sighed. All the soldiers on the expedition missed home.
"It could take three to five years at most, or one to two years at least, depending on how our coach arranges his troops!"
Jiang Yu was not polite at all when he evaluated his father.
Indeed, if the soldiers are led well and fight well, they will naturally be able to return home early.
"That's right. It's useless for us to be brave. Our commander must also be able to lead the troops." Su Chen agreed with Jiang Yu's statement.
He still doesn't know that their head coach is Jiang Yu's biological father!
All I can say is that Jiang Yu is too down-to-earth. Even in a noisy soldier camp, he can live there calmly and peacefully without any airs of a nobleman.
"Jiang Yu, come with me!"
While the two were talking, the deputy general beside the commander came over and called out Jiang Yu by name.
It has happened several times, and now the soldiers under him are all doubting Jiang Yu's identity.
Duke Jiang led the army this time and brought along a son, Jiang Yu's half-brother Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was also in the soldiers' camp, but he was not a low-key person and was spreading his identity everywhere. Before the battle officially started, everyone in the camp knew that he was the commander-in-chief's son, and they all tried to curry favor with him.
Jiang Yu's surname was also Jiang, and he was often summoned by the deputy general. It was hard for everyone not to suspect that he was also a nobleman who came in through the back door.
In the eyes of everyone, these children of aristocratic families are all good-looking but useless, so when they look at Jiang Yu, their eyes are not eyes and their noses are not noses. Even Su Chen, who is on good terms with Jiang Yu, is isolated.
Jiang Yu and Su Chen exchanged a glance, then stood up and followed the deputy general to the commander's tent...
…
At the end of April, Yang Qingqing and Ye Runze held their wedding. The Ye family had a small house with two entrances in Xiangzhou City. Ye's father had hired someone to renovate the yard and use it as a wedding room for the couple.
Their family didn't give much as a dowry, just two hundred and eight taels of silver, along with some of the necessary items for a betrothal gift, a brand new set of mahogany furniture, and three pieces of gold jewelry, everything you need.
The main thing is that they spent a lot of money to decorate the new house, and they will also need money to hold the wedding banquet. My uncle and aunt didn't ask for too much. In their opinion, as long as their daughter lives a good life, it's enough.
But after more than half a year, Yang Qingqing worked as the shopkeeper of Yuyan Hall and saved more than one hundred taels of private money. Together with the jewelry that Su Wan had given her, the total value was quite a bit of silver.
She took them all as her dowry, and her uncle also gave an extra 280 taels of dowry, almost emptying his own family fortune to give as a dowry to his daughter, which shows how much he values his daughter.
When Yang Qingqing got married, Su Wan paid for her a set of gold headwear out of his own pocket, which was very decent.
Her wedding dress was also made by Su's mother herself, using good material that her aunt had specially asked her to buy.
Of course, she sewed the veil herself, in the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Yang Qingqing married an ordinary person, so her wedding dress was red. Unless she married into a wealthy merchant family or a high-ranking official, she could wear red and green wedding dresses.
When getting married, the more respectable you are, the better. The more dowry you bring, the more you can hold your head up high in your husband's family.
Compared with the two families, Yang Qingqing brought a particularly large dowry, so she was very respected in the eyes of her relatives on the Ye family.
It was also on the wedding day that Su Wan met Ye's son-in-law for the first time.
In terms of appearance, he is not extremely handsome, but he is quite pretty. He is about 1.8 meters tall and is a handsome and elegant young man.
He rode a tall horse, wearing a red wedding dress and a big red flower to pick up Yang Qingqing. The two of them said goodbye to their uncle and aunt, and his aunt cried like a tearful person.
Su Wan still had to walk a few steps out of the door. She was the cousin and had to go to the Ye family to accompany the bride.
The Ye family is a native of Xiangzhou City. After the renovation, this ancestral home is not shabby. Yang Qingqing's wedding room is fully equipped with new things.
Cousin Qingqing looked so beautiful today. After the wedding ceremony, she sat nervously in the new house. The bed was covered with peanuts, longans and red dates, which meant that she would have a baby soon.
However, the complicated headpiece and jewelry that Su Wan put on her head made her neck hurt.
She got up early in the morning and didn't eat anything, so she was starving by noon.
Su Wan could only go out and find a few plates of snacks to fill her stomach.
But she didn't expect that when she came back, she found her cousin-in-law was there too. He made an excuse to go to the toilet, then ran to the kitchen to cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup and brought it to Yang Qingqing.
Because I was worried that she would be hungry if she didn't eat for the whole morning.
As soon as Su Wan came in, he felt embarrassed and quickly retreated.
My cousin's husband didn't stay in there for long and came out. When he saw her at the door, he nodded to her politely.
When Su Wan saw Yang Qingqing eating noodles with a happy look on her face, she knew that she had married the right person. A man who cares about you all the time can make your life better even if your family is not so prominent.
