At night, Chen Afu was sitting on the desk in a daze, while Li Ma and five maids were packing boxes. Aunt Zeng did not come, she was left in Dingzhou Prefecture, and would continue to manage the Fuyunlai store with Zeng Shuang in Dingzhou Prefecture.
At this time, Jiang came. Chen Ahfu hurriedly stood up and offered her a seat, and personally served tea. The servants knew that the mother and daughter were going to have a heart-to-heart talk, so they all quietly left.
Jiang first said a few clichés, saying that when you go to your husband's house, you should respect your husband, be filial to your parents-in-law, and have children for your husband's family, etc. Then she blushed and gave Chen Ahfu a book, asking her to read it carefully. Chen Ahfu knew that it was a must-read before marriage in this era, so she pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head to take it.
Chen Ahfu gave Jiang another green leaf agarwood. She only said that it was obtained by chance, and did not say that she was good friends with Master Wuzhi. She felt that during the days she was at Chen Shiying's house, Jiang had done everything possible. The dowry was small, but it helped Chen Shiying resolve the potential dangers in the Chen Mansion and dealt with the old lady, Tang, Chen Yuhui and other evil people. No matter what Jiang's purpose was, she, Chen Ahfu, was the one who benefited in the end.
She liked dealing with such smart people, and she hoped to continue to cooperate happily in the future. Finally, she told Jiang not to tell anyone except Chen Shiying about the origin of the incense.
Jiang was so happy to get this incense that she couldn't help herself. She had heard that this kind of incense was made by Master Wuzhi. Mrs. Chu San finally got one, but she didn't want to use it herself, and gave it to the Queen Mother. It is said that only the emperor, Prince An, who is on good terms with Master Wuzhi, and Duke Chen Lao have got one...
What she did was right. By making friends with Chen Afu, she not only won her husband's favor and established a relationship with the Chu family, but also got such a treasure. Although her mother-in-law disliked her more and more and often asked her to set rules, so what? The old lady was old, and how many years could she torment herself...
Jiang's hands were shaking as she held the agarwood. She said, "Don't worry, Fu'er. I won't even tell Qing'er and Lan'er. They are still young and don't know how to keep secrets."
At night, Chen Afu was a little insomniac lying in bed. She really wanted to go to the space to relax her body and mind, and then do some work with the little thing, and not eavesdrop on it casually, which was not good.
But Xia Yue was sleeping in the warm room, and she didn't dare to disappear.
The moonlight in early spring was as clear as water. It shone through the window lattice, making the wedding dress on the hanger even more vivid and bright. The golden auspicious bird on it seemed as if it was about to fly out.
In her previous life, she had imagined herself getting married countless times, wearing a white wedding dress, holding roses, being half-huggled by Liu Xudong, and receiving blessings from others... But until her death, she had never married herself.
After living two lives, she finally got married. To her surprise, she married a high-ranking official. It seemed that her dream in the previous life came true in this life. Cinderella finally married the prince charming.
However, this prince charming has a complicated family background, with a vicious princess stepmother, a pitiful and cute little stepdaughter, and is also involved in the vortex of succession. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the prince's family, she herself also brought a more dangerous little trouble.
After marriage, she will not live the happy life she dreams of, nor will she be a simple and happy little woman, at least not in the next few years. She will have to stay at home and wait anxiously for the men who are charging into battle outside, and provide all kinds of logistical services for the men, so that they can go into battle lightly...
She fell asleep in a daze.
It seemed like he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up.
After she got up, she ate a small bowl of glutinous rice balls with the help of Hongfeng, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath. Li Ma and Xia Yue were going to the Chu Mansion, and they would go first with the dowry after packing. Therefore, Chen Afu was served by Hongfeng and other maids.
When Chen Afu came out, Mother Jiang brought in Madam Quanfu, who was also an acquaintance of the Jiang family, Madam Wu, the wife of Wu Hanlin. Behind her followed Chen Yujing and her sister, as well as several cousins of the Jiang family.
Hong Feng quickly smiled and handed two red envelopes to Mrs. Wu.
Chen Ahfu sat on the bed, and Mrs. Wu combed her hair with a comb, singing, "One comb will comb to the end, two combs will comb until the white hair reaches the eyebrows, three combs will comb until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, four combs will comb until the four silver bamboo shoots are all straight."
After that, she was painted with crabapple powder on her face and the sweat hair on her face was wrung out with a piece of cotton thread. Then, she was combed and made up, with a golden hairpin inserted, a phoenix crown on her head, and wedding clothes on her body.
Chen Ahfu sat cross-legged on the bed, and saw people coming in to see her from time to time, saying all kinds of auspicious words and praising how beautiful the bride was. Although most brides had the same heavy makeup, Chen Ahfu's facial features were so delicate that they were still different from hers.
Most of these people were unknown to Chen Afu. Most of them were Jiang's relatives and friends, and some were the families of Chen Shiying's friends of the same age. There was not a single friend of hers. She knew Chen Ayu would come, but she could only stay in the front yard and not here.
Chen Yulan was too young to be carried on the back, so Jiang arranged for a cousin from Chen's hometown to carry her. In fact, Chen Afu really wanted Chen Ayu to carry her on his back. Although they were not related by blood, they had a good relationship. But Jiang had already made the arrangements, and Chen Shiying agreed...
Chen Afu smiled and half lowered his head, allowing them to visit as they pleased.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came, "Aunt Chen, my brother and I are here to see you."
It was Yang Qian. She pulled Yang Chao through the siege and squeezed in from the crowd.
The little girl has grown taller and more lively. The brothers and sisters came to help Chen Afu with her makeup a few days ago. Chen Afu thought they would go to the Chu family for the wedding banquet, after all, they were more familiar with the Chu family than the Chen family.
The chatterbox solved the confusion again, "Grandma, I, and my brother came to Aunt Chen's house for the wedding banquet, and my dad went to Uncle Chu's house for the wedding banquet. Haha, our family is attending two banquets." After saying this, he laughed proudly.
Her words made everyone laugh, and Hong Feng on the side grabbed some candies for her and Yang Chao.
At this time, someone came and said that the banquet was about to begin and invited the guests to eat.
The bride cannot eat or drink at noon, for fear of going to the toilet. In ancient times, people sometimes wanted to save face in a way that was inhumane.
After a while, Yang Qian came again.
Chen Ahfu asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Yang Qian said, "I can't eat anymore, I want to come and keep Aunt Chen company."
With the company of the chatterbox, time passed quickly. The wedding banquet was over and the groom came to pick them up.
Gongs and drums were beating in the front yard, and firecrackers were blasting.
Many more people rushed into the room, and a red veil blocked Chen Afu's view.
The people who accompanied Chu Lingxuan to pick up the bride included not only General Fu, but also the Seventh Prince. He kowtowed to Chen Shiying and Jiang in the main courtyard, and changed his address to father-in-law and mother-in-law. Chen Shiying and his wife gave him two red envelopes as "change fee".
Amid the sound of ritual music, Chu Lingxuan received Chen Afu, went to the main courtyard to bid farewell, and then his cousin carried Chen Afu to the sedan chair.
