Aunt Bai rarely appeared in Aunt Chen's yard.
Aunt Chen saw the unexpected visitor and said bluntly, "It is a pity that we have failed to greet you, since you are a distinguished guest. There is no need for polite greetings. Let's get down to business."
Seeing that her attitude was bad, Bai Ningniang didn't care and found a stool to sit down. It was obvious that she had something to say.
Aunt Chen looked at her for a few times, not knowing what this white lotus was up to.
It's been more than a year since I entered the mansion, and I've never seen her show any goodwill towards me. Could it be that he is trying to win her over today?
Facts proved that Aunt Chen was overthinking. She only had a good appearance and good luck, but her IQ was far inferior to Aunt Bai. People were lucky enough not to use her as a stepping stone, let alone win her over.
"I just came to ask, when the third young lady in the mansion is getting married, do we, as the concubines, need to give a gift? When should we give it, and how much is appropriate?"
This really made Aunt Chen ask the right question. When she brought the child into the mansion, the eldest daughter had just gotten married, so even if she wanted to send the child away, she didn't have the chance.
Besides, Su Shinian is a concubine's daughter, how can the standard of her dowry compare with Su Yunzhu's?
The two discussed it and decided to ask the elders in the mansion to find out, so as not to fail to prepare anything and cause the eldest lady to hold a grudge against them again.
With a good start, the two of them started chatting, but mostly about children. The age difference between these children was not too big, so at least they could chat for a few minutes.
Aunt Bai didn't stay long. She asked one last question and then stood up to say goodbye.
After she left, the wet nurse came over, picked up the child, and reminded Aunt Chen that she should report to the eldest lady.
Aunt Chen took the advice and took Yuanyuan to pay her respects to the eldest lady the next day.
"Yesterday, Aunt Bai came to see me and asked if we would help the Third Miss get married."
Mrs. Su Wang glanced at her and said calmly, "My heavy body does cause some inconvenience. There will be many guests that day, so we will definitely need some help. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the kitchen and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Aunt Chen agreed without hesitation, but she didn't expect that she would actually be needed. It seems that the wet nurse was right, and she still has to get close to the eldest lady. Then she will get the job!
Aunt Chen left with a smile on her face. Mrs. Su Wang was still relieved about her, but to be honest, she could not see through Aunt Bai.
…
As the saying goes, a man cannot become rich without external wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass. Han Zeyu had a very good year. He ate well, drank well, slept well, and earned a lot of extra money.
Thanks to Mr. Su Wang for his generous help, and Ergouzi and others for their friendly sponsorship.
Han Zeyu was free and investigated the small gang that ran the gambling game, but unexpectedly he saw an acquaintance.
He originally thought that someone was targeting his base, but he found out that the mastermind behind it was Zhao Yan.
Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong. He is not targeting the increasingly prosperous Yunshan Village, but the vampire of the Qian family.
He said that there was no need for him to kill them all, as these people could kill themselves by fighting among themselves. You see, how far-sighted he was.
Boss Qian discussed this with Er Gouzi afterwards. It seems that the last time they were plotted against was when Han Zeyu returned to the village, but they had left the day before, and besides, they didn't do anything.
The two lechers forgot about their desire for the bride's beauty and did not take it seriously at all, not knowing that this was the reason why they were tied up.
No matter what, it's better to stay away from that Han family kid from now on! That guy looks a bit evil.
Ergou felt a little guilty. He thought that it was that little bastard Zhao Xun who had reported him, so the Han family never took him when recruiting workers. Maybe his bad luck was brought upon him by that tough guy.
That guy is so unlucky. Whoever touches him will be in trouble. But why doesn’t the Han family have trouble?
Ergouzi was very confused, but he didn't dare to cause trouble for Zhao Xun, because he had climbed up the social ladder.
Boss Qian also felt guilty. He once coveted Han Zeyu's beauty, and he didn't know whether he would take revenge on him.
Not long after, Han Zeyu met Zhao Yan again because he and Miss Sun came to attend Su Yunzhu's wedding together.
The two of them still looked so well-matched, but Sun Manqi didn't know that her husband's illegitimate child was already eight or nine months old.
In the past, Sun Manqi was arrogant and domineering. It is unknown whether he was a good person or not, and his vision was really not very good.
Zhao Yan and Sun Manqi also saw Han Zeyu, but they pretended not to know each other and didn't even say hello.
Aunt Bai and Aunt Chen sent gifts in advance, and they knew that they should not attend occasions like today, so they stayed in the kitchen honestly and fulfilled their duties.
Mrs. Su Wang was wearing a large, thick cloak that barely covered her eight-month pregnant belly.
On the one hand, Su Yunzhu felt sorry for her mother's hard work, and on the other hand, she thought about her upcoming marriage, which made her heart sad and tears fell uncontrollably.
It turns out that the so-called crying at a wedding is so painful. I couldn’t understand it before, but when it was my turn to get married, I finally understood the reluctance.
Mrs. Su Wang's eyes were also wet. Her precious daughter was going to get married and would be someone else's wife from then on. She would no longer be as free and easy as she was in the boudoir.
The housekeeper came over to persuade her that if she continued crying she would have to put on makeup again and it might delay the auspicious time.
Su Wangshi was helped down to the front yard by her maid. She had to wait in the main hall for her daughter and son-in-law to come and serve her tea.
Su Yunzhu had a good marriage, and Su Wanli was naturally very satisfied. Looking at the tall and straight figure of his new son-in-law, he even pulled him to introduce him to his connections.
Although they are all businessmen, they are all wealthy businessmen with large families and fortunes, and you never know when they might be of use to me in the future.
Zhang Yaozu is very humble and follows his father-in-law to make connections. He is still a scholar now, but he will become an official sooner or later, so it never hurts to know more people.
After the tedious bride-receiving ceremony, Su Yunzhu and her husband bid farewell to their parents. They had to rush to the man’s house to get married before the auspicious time.
Su Yunsong carried his sister out of the house. He heard the suppressed sobbing under the red veil and felt a little uncomfortable.
The sound of firecrackers rang out outside the door, and the banquet in the Su Mansion began.
Mrs. Su Wang did not stay inside to greet the guests. She wanted to come out to see them off and watch her daughter leave.
Strings of red firecrackers crackled and the onlookers covered their ears, feeling envious.
How much money must have been spent to have such a grand ceremony? The Su family is really rich, and they were really enlightened.
It was truly eye-opening. Even Han Zeyu came out to watch the fun, because when he and Su Shien got married, the ceremony was relatively simple.
Forgive him for being worldly-wise, he just wants to see what the complicated form looks like.
However, he seemed to have overlooked one point. With his Conan-like physique, it was best not to wander around, as it would be easy to get into trouble.
The groom rode on a tall horse with a big red flower tied in front of him, walking in front of the team with his chest held high.
The sedan bearers carried the bridal sedan closely behind. The sounds of music and drums from the wedding procession mixed with the sound of firecrackers, which was quite deafening.
That's when the accident happened...
