The next morning, Meng Ying woke up early.
Looking at the two sisters still sleeping beside me, I didn't wake them up. I went to bed late last night, so it's still early now, so I can rest for a while.
He quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, quickly washed up and went into the kitchen.
I boiled water in a pot and cooked a big pot of dumplings, adding some side dishes to serve as breakfast later.
Pan Ning and Li Li also came early in the morning. After Ding Ming sent Pan Ning there, he said hello to Meng Ying and left in a hurry.
"Lily, Ningning, come and have some dumplings." Meng Ying deftly served a large bowl of dumplings to each of them.
"Thank you, Auntie!" The two of them were not polite. They went out early today and had not had time to finish breakfast.
"Eat slowly, there's no rush. It's still early. After you finish eating, you can serve more. There's still plenty in the pot."
After saying that, Meng Ying also filled a bowl of dumplings and sat down to eat together.
When the three of them had almost finished breakfast, Jianshu also crawled out of bed.
Hearing the noise, Meng Ying hurried into the house, "Get up, wash up quickly, the neighbors and relatives will be here soon to congratulate you."
It would be a real joke if everyone arrived but the bride hasn't gotten up yet.
"Hurry, hurry, change your clothes!"
Infected by the emotions, Jianshu also became anxious. Zhao Yueling, who was standing next to him, was also woken up and quickly got up from the bed.
"Where are your clothes? Where did you put the clothes you were going to wear?"
"It's the one in the middle of the closet."
Li Li hurried to look for it, then held up a skirt and asked, "Is this it?"
Jianshu came in while brushing his teeth, took a look, nodded, and said incoherently: "Yes, and the shirt on it."
After washing up, Jian Shu was pushed into the room by Meng Ying. "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Looking at her, I wish I could change it for her myself.
Jianshu hurried into the room to change clothes. Fortunately, the clothes were simple and quick to change.
As soon as I changed my clothes, the neighbors came to my door.
While chatting with everyone, Jianshu ate breakfast. After eating a plate of dumplings, his stomach was full in an instant.
More and more people came, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.
Zhao Mingze, Meng Ying, Zhao Tianlei, and Zhao Yueling were all busy greeting guests and serving tea and water. There were too many people and they couldn't handle it, so they conscripted Qian Wenhan's family into labor.
Meng Ying was busy inside and outside. When there were enough people and some free time, she went back into the room.
She pressed Jianshu against the dressing table and said with some sadness, "Come, sit down, and let your aunt comb your hair."
In the old days, when a daughter got married, her mother would comb and tie her hair herself and say auspicious words.
Although this is no longer popular nowadays, Meng Ying does not want to skip this process.
Guessing that the two had something private to say, the others tactfully found excuses to leave. Li Li and Pan Ning also left. Soon, only Jian Shu and Meng Ying were left in the room.
Meng Ying picked up the comb and combed her jet-black hair over and over again, muttering to herself as she combed: "Comb through the ends once, and you'll be rich and prosperous without worries. Comb through the ends twice, and you'll be healthy and worry-free... Comb through the ends again, and you'll be raised to the level of your eyebrows... Comb through the ends a third time, and you'll be together forever. With both the beginning and the end, we'll share wealth and prosperity in this life."
Every word she murmurs carries a mother's best wishes for her children.
Jianshu was immersed in this gentle and soothing voice, with his brows lowered, and the most beautiful picture was reflected in the mirror.
After combing her hair, Meng Ying put some hair accessories on Jianshu. She didn't dare to be too extreme, just a few simple and small hairpins as sporadic embellishments.
Then Meng Ying took out a small wooden box from the cabinet.
When I saw Jianshu, I became interested. Could it contain some action pictures?
It’s no wonder she thought this way. After all, there were too many plots like this when she wrote novels and watched TV shows in the past.
"Open it and take a look?" Putting the wooden box on the dressing table, Meng Ying waved to Jian Shu.
"Ah? This, this is not good, right?" Shouldn't she watch this kind of thing secretly by herself? The elders are here, how embarrassing!
Jianshu said hesitantly.
Meng Ying had no idea what she was thinking and stuffed the box into her hands without further ado. "Just open it if I tell you to. It's yours now. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Okay, okay, you asked me to open it?" Jianshu looked embarrassed.
"Just open it when I tell you to. Stop wasting time!" Meng Ying was getting very anxious because of this nagging.
The box was unlocked, and when he unfastened the clasp and opened the box, what came into view was not the action picture that Jianshu had imagined, but a set of gold jewelry.
Bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings are all exquisite in style and substantial in weight.
Looking at the jewelry in the box, Meng Ying sighed slightly, "Originally, there should have been a golden abacus, a golden ruler, and so on. Now... I can only prepare these for now. Later, your aunt will make up for it for you."
"Aunt, you have given me a lot, enough." Jian Shu looked up.
Meng Ying was about to pat her head, but when she saw her neatly combed hair, she withdrew her hand. "You, how can you complain about having too much dowry? The more a girl has in her dowry, the better. Don't worry about it, I know everything."
Jian Shu laughed inwardly, "Okay, you know what I'm talking about. If this continues, I'm afraid Brother Tianlei will have no money left to marry a wife."
"Don't worry, your aunt's family is very wealthy! Not to mention getting married, even if all of you get married, the family won't fall apart." Meng Ying rolled her eyes at her unhappily.
This child is worrying about nothing every day.
"Okay, okay, you're wealthy! You're wealthy!" What else could Jianshu do? He could only agree.
"Besides this, there is a passbook with one thousand yuan in it. It's the dowry given to you by your uncle Zhao and I. Keep it well and spend it when you should. Don't save it. It doesn't matter if you don't have a job. Our family is rich!" Meng Ying spoke domineeringly, giving Jianshu enough confidence.
"Hide these things well too. Don't take them out, and don't tell anyone else. If too many people know, it'll easily leak out, and things could get bad. It's best not to tell anyone."
"If you're not happy there, just come back. Don't force yourself."
"If you have a conflict with Ming Jing, don't keep throwing tantrums. Be soft when you need to be soft, and don't be stubborn."
"When interacting with other members of the Gu family, just be open and honest. Don't be too tolerant, and don't be too impolite. If you get along well, then get along. If you don't, just save face."
"Try not to cause any conflict in public. Talk it over with Ming Jing when you get back, and stay away from him from now on. Of course, if there are really shameless people like that, don't be polite. Remember that you have a family, and we will support you if anything goes wrong."
“…”
Meng Ying kept talking, and Jian Shu leaned against her and listened quietly.
