Chapter 706 Discussing the Marriage Process
Wan Ersao and Wan Laoer looked at each other, and they immediately quickened their pace and walked in.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Old Mrs. Wan surrounded by Fubao and several maids.
A girl with a round face who looked particularly cute was massaging Old Lady Wan's shoulders.
No one knew what the girl was saying, causing everyone to laugh from time to time. Even Fubao laughed so hard that he rolled around in Old Lady Wan's arms.
"Oh, mother, it's so lively. We can hear it outside the yard."
As soon as Wan Ersao arrived at the door, she smiled and spoke.
"Second brother's wife, come quickly, come and listen too. This girl is really clever. What she said is so funny. We are all laughing so hard at her." When Old Mrs. Wan saw Second Brother's wife and Second Brother Wan come in, she quickly waved to Second Brother's wife.
Mrs. Wan Er walked over and sat down next to Old Mrs. Wan.
She looked around but didn't find the same color.
"Mom, where is my sister? Why aren't you here?"
"Fubao said her mother went out and should be back in the evening." Old Mrs. Wan replied casually.
Wan Ersao didn't ask any more questions.
Tong Yan didn't come back until dinner time.
Fubao was a little worried about her, so he wanted Banxia to go out and look for her.
"Banxia, go look for my mother on the street. She is alone and unfamiliar with the place. I am afraid she might get lost."
"Yes, miss."
Before Banxia walked out of the gate, she saw Tong Yan and several women getting off the carriage.
"Madam, the young lady is worried about you and asked me to come out to look for you."
Tong Yan felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although she had only spent a short time with her daughter, they were blood relatives after all. Her daughter was very attached to her now, which made her feel a sense of belonging in a foreign country.
"Banxia, take them in first. They are the managers of our family's shops. Our shops are mainly responsible for the weddings of noble families, including embroidery workshops and ritual music. My aunt mentioned it to me and said she wanted me to help. I don't know much about the customs of Da Qi, so I asked these people to help."
After Tong Yan gave a brief explanation, Banxia was overjoyed. She thought that the old lady would be happy now.
"Thank you, ma'am. I will take him to see the old lady right away."
Banxia was in a good mood and took a few women to Changshou Hall. Tongyan was sweating all over and did not go directly to see Old Lady Wan, but went back to the yard to take a shower and change clothes.
As soon as Yan had finished packing, Fubao came running over.
"Mother, why didn't you take Fubao with you when you went out this afternoon? You even kept it a secret from Fubao while you were busy with big brother's affairs. Mother has been working so hard."
Fubao threw himself into Tongyan's arms. Tongyan had just finished taking a shower, and Fubao smelled a sweet scent.
"Wow, Mommy smells so good."
Fubao was reluctant to let go and held Tongyan in his arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Tong Yan smiled and picked up the little rascal.
"Okay, let's go eat. Mom has been running around for so long, she must be hungry."
"Fubao is hungry too. Let's go and eat. The chef at Big Brother's house cooks really delicious food. I can eat two big bowls of it at every meal."
Tongyan touched Fubao's little nose lovingly.
"Then mother must also try the food in the general's mansion."
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed all the way to Changshou Hall.
Dinner was served in the flower hall of Changshou Hall.
The area around Changshou Hall had long been fumigated with mugwort, and there was not a single mosquito.
The servants came in one after another carrying delicious meals.
Wan Quan happened to have just returned from official business at this time.
"Grandma, Mom, I'm back."
For the first time, Wan Quan felt that the General's Mansion was so lively and he finally felt at home.
Someone was waiting for him to come back for dinner, and they were all his closest relatives, people he cared about.
"Quan'er is back, come quickly, it's just right." Old Mrs. Wan quickly invited Wan Quan to sit next to her.
"Grandma, I want to sit next to you too." Fubao ran over, hugged Grandma Wan's arm, and climbed onto the stool with a smile.
"Okay, okay, one on each side."
Old Mrs. Wan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. This was the joy of having children and grandchildren around her.
The Wan family did not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. During the meal, in addition to passing food to each other, Old Mrs. Wan also talked about Wan Quan's marriage.
"Quan'er, you are getting married this September. Although grandma has also arranged the weddings of your father and his friends, as you know, our family was not well off at that time, so marriages were simple and there were not so many rules. Now that you are marrying a noblewoman, we can't be so shabby. Grandma has never seen rich people get married, and we don't know their rules, so grandma asked your aunt for help."
Tong Yan also smiled and said, "General Wan, I have brought people to you today. They are all shops of the Tong family. You can use them as you like. These shops are all used to help some noble families in Dezhou hold weddings. You know, I am not from your place and I don't know much about your customs, but since my aunt asked me to do so, I have to do my best, so I found them."
Banxia was standing aside at this time and quickly reported.
"General, the lady did bring someone with her. I have temporarily settled them in the side yard."
When Mrs. Wan heard this, she was overjoyed. "Oh, Tong Yan is really efficient. I was worried about embarrassing Quan'er, but I didn't expect you to have already arranged it."
Tong Yan smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Wan Quan was deeply moved. Of course he was happy that so many people helped him.
"Grandma, Aunt Yan, thank you for your help. I feel much more at ease with you here. Come, I'll toast to everyone."
Wan Quan said this and drank a glass of wine.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and dinner was coming to an end.
After the meal, Old Lady Wan couldn't wait to ask Banxia to take the people to the Changshou Hall, and everyone moved to the Changshou Hall.
There will definitely be a lot of attention on Wan Quan's wedding, and Old Mrs. Wan doesn't know him, so it will be a problem as to how many tables to set up.
The first discussion lasted until midnight.
Finally, Old Lady Wan couldn't stand it anymore and let everyone go.
After going back and forth like this for six or seven days, we finally figured out the marriage process.
"Oh my goodness, there are so many procedures for a rich family to get married. My old bones can't bear it anymore. Second wife, A Yan, I think I'll leave the rest to you two."
Old Mrs. Wan felt that holding a wedding could be very tiring.
"By the way, Quan'er said that the other party will marry in the Liu family's ancestral home. This saves a lot of trouble. We don't have to go to the capital to welcome the bride. But if we calculate the date, it's almost July now. Miss Liu should be here by now, right?"
Old Mrs. Wan hasn't met her granddaughter-in-law yet.
"Mom, I heard from Banxia that Miss Liu has arrived and asked Fubao to go out and play. It seems to be tomorrow, to that garden."
Mrs. Wan thought about what Banxia said yesterday and told Mrs. Wan.
"That's great. Let's stop working tomorrow and go take a look at the garden."
"Mom, ordinary people can't enter that garden. It seems that you need a name card."
Wan Ersao had a sad expression on her face.
Old Lady Wan slapped her thigh and said, "What do we need for a family name card? Have you forgotten? This garden belongs to Fu Bao. We can go if we want. I don't think anyone dares to stop us."
Tong Yan also laughed and said, "That's right. It's our own garden, so why don't we let our family members go there? Don't worry, sister. I'll ask Ali to make the arrangements later."
Wan Ersao smiled gently, her heart full of anticipation.
Fubao had told her several times how wonderful this garden was, which had made her itchy in the heart, and now she finally had the chance to go and see it.
