Chapter 159 The whole family seeks a daughter-in-law from a good family
Those who traveled with them included Li Xiaoxiao, Bai Heng, Aunt Zhang, Sun Wuzi, and the Tang family led by Old Man Tang.
This time, Qian Yunan used his power to arrange a private plane to bring everyone to the capital.
Of course, the two babies went along this time.
After the plane landed, Fourth Uncle Pei arranged a car to take everyone to the Pei family's real old house for accommodation, where the wedding would also be held tomorrow.
Xiao Nanxing always thought that the courtyard house in Huaihua Lane where the two old people lived was an old house, but it was not.
The Pei family has an ancestral land at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. The old house is there, very close to the farm they visited that year.
It was a real five-courtyard mansion with more than a hundred rooms of various sizes. It was the kind of place that could be declared a cultural relic.
It is said that the old house will not be used for general happy events, and the door of the old house will be opened to welcome guests only when the eldest son and grandson get married.
The place where Xiao Nanxing went out was in Pei Zhengping's courtyard, and the wedding party would pick her up from there and take her to the old house.
So Li Xiaoxiao, Ji Ruoxing, Rong Qing, Ouyang Zhen, Tang Tiantian, Bai Heng, Aunt Zhang, Sun Wuzi, Zhong Kai and other relatives from her family lived here with her.
I will go to see the bride off when the time comes.
Well, Tang Tiantian forced herself to be classified as Xiao Nanxing's person, just to join in the fun.
Pei Zhengping was about to leave after sending Xiao Nanxing there. It was said that they could not meet for the next two days.
Pei Zhengping was reluctant to leave.
Ji Ruoxing boldly pushed him out the door, "We want to spend the last days of single life with Nanxing, big cousin, please don't disturb us."
Xiao Nanxing stood inside the gate and waved with a smile, "Dad, just go back and be good. It'll only be for two days."
Pei Zhengping took a deep breath. He had the illusion that his wife wanted to run away. "You must video chat tonight. I will miss you and the babies."
Xiao Nanxing nodded. If she dared to be perfunctory with him, she would dare to stay, so for the sake of her final freedom, she was very honest.
Pei Zhengping suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he follow the ancient rituals? This was extremely inappropriate. They had already obtained the marriage certificate and had a child, so there was no need to follow the ancestral rules.
Xiao Nanxing seemed to know what he was thinking, and a smile filled his eyes. "Dajun, you set up the procedures yourself, and we must follow them."
Hahahaha, it's embarrassing for him, making him shoot himself in the foot.
Finally, the door slowly closed in front of Pei Zhengping. Don’t think he didn’t see it, but a little woman ran towards the lobby with extremely excited steps.
Okay, two days is just two days, he endured it.
At this time, the small courtyard was decorated with joy. Wherever the boards were visible on the ground, they were laid with festive red carpets. In the yard, windows, and interior decorations, joyful characters and biodegradable romantic balloons could be seen everywhere.
It also features a variety of antique décor that has been restored to a fresh look.
In the bedroom on the second floor, there is a row of twelve Chinese-style dresses on display, all of which are hand-embroidered and custom-made, and are unique.
Except for the most important set of wedding dress imitating the Ming Dynasty style phoenix robe and 翟衣, the others are clothes for toasting and meeting relatives, covering the phoenix robe elements of various dynasties. The embroidered flowers, plants, fairy beasts and flying phoenixes on them are lifelike.
Xiao Nanxing kept saying what a waste, what a waste.
This caused the ladies to be outraged.
Li Xiaoxiao pinched her and shook her: "Ahhh, you must be showing off. If I had known earlier, Li Sheng and I would have held a Chinese-style wedding. Woohoo, it's so beautiful, solemn and grand."
Xiao Nanxing: "I just feel it's heavy."
When she tried on the Zhaiyi, phoenix coronet, and xiapei, her whole body seemed to be lowered by several centimeters. She had to hold it up all the time, otherwise the gorgeous phoenix coronet on her head would fall off, as it was covered with real jewels.
Aunt Zhang stared at the gold-foiled marriage certificate and exclaimed in admiration, "Things from our ancestors are still so special. Look at this golden brilliance. I can keep it for a lifetime."
Xiao Nanxing thought of the scene where Pei Zhengping held her hand and read aloud while using a small hammer to hit the gold foil to print the full text of the marriage certificate word by word, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Rong Qing added, "Boss Pei has put a lot of thought into these betrothal gifts."
The booklet placed on top of a pile of dazzling jewellery displayed a long list of betrothal gifts. Apart from the antique paintings and calligraphy, books, jewellery, houses and cars, what made her drool the most were the precious medicinal herbs handed down from generation to generation.
Ahhh, she wants to rob.
The Pei family is indeed an old family. Its profound heritage can be seen from these. Her Rong family is a medical family, and their collection of medicinal materials is not as many as those on the betrothal gift list.
Bai Heng was worried, "Is our dowry too little?"
He had not looked at the betrothal gift list carefully before, but now he was suddenly overwhelmed and felt that his apprentice's dowry was too small.
Xiao Nanxing said: "It's quite a lot. My grandfather's collection of traditional Chinese medicine is priceless."
We can’t let Master spend any more money.
Moreover, she does not feel inferior, and the Pei family does not value this. The more blessed a family is, the more they care about people rather than external things.
Originally, Pei Zhengping wanted to give her all his personal collections as a dowry, but Xiao Nanxing refused. Everyone knew that her family background was indeed not as good as Pei Zhengping's, and doing so was just a pretense.
She believes that people who respect her will not look down on her, and she doesn't need to care about people who don't respect her.
When the elders of the Pei family learned of her idea, they all expressed their praise, and as a result, they added another layer of betrothal gifts, resulting in this long betrothal gift list.
The Pei family is different from ordinary families. They follow ancient customs. These betrothal gifts and dowries will eventually belong to her. The property registration and notarization have been completed before. Even if she and Pei Zhengping divorce in the future, she can take away all the betrothal gifts and dowries.
They just have the confidence.
The whole family married a daughter-in-law from a good family, which demonstrated the grace and temperament of the Pei family for generations.
No wonder the Qiao family is so shameless in wanting to form this marriage. Not to mention the invisible benefits, the obvious betrothal gifts and wealth are enough to make people jealous.
Xiao Nanxing thought that she must have done something good in her previous life, which was why she met Pei Zhengping and married into the Pei family in this life.
Ji Ruoxing said, "Because Sister Nanxing, you are worth it."
In this materialistic age, she can be covered in dust and dirt in remote villages, healing the poor people; she did not give up on herself after encountering difficulties, but always stayed true to herself and became strong silently; after choosing her cousin, she will go all out to learn to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family, neither humble nor arrogant, and gentle and generous.
Who says that a person from a poor family background can’t grow the most beautiful peony?
I can only say that her cousin has a very good eye and found himself a super nice wife.
Xiao Nanxing felt shy after being praised. "Alright, alright, you said you'd accompany me through my last days of being single? What have you planned?"
Tang Tiantian raised her hand. "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to the basement. Gentlemen are not allowed."
Xiao Nanxing was curious and followed them downstairs. There were two floors below this courtyard, which housed an indoor swimming pool, a gym, an entertainment room, a tea room, a wine storage room, a collection room, etc.
They went to the swimming pool connected to the gym.
"Tick, tick, tick, Ms. Xiao Nanxing, please come in!" Several women took out several swimsuits with a smile and quickly put them on. When Xiao Nanxing walked out of the locker room, she had changed a lot.
