Chapter 111

In the days that followed, Mrs. Cui was completely busy. She went to the warehouse every day to check the dowry items. The things that she thought were pleasing to the eye became more and more shabby the more she looked at them. [26nbsp;] She simply opened a new warehouse.

After re-selecting, the ones that suit her liking will be moved to that warehouse, and those that are not satisfactory will be left where they are, and then the stewards will be sent out to buy them quickly, making sure to find the best ones.

Furniture such as Arhat beds, beauty couches, Babu beds, screens, desk tables, and flower tables have been laid out earlier. All that needs to be done is to apply varnish again to give them a shiny and clean color;

As for other large pieces of furniture, such as box top cabinets, bookshelves and Duobaoge museum shelves, which need to be measured for the size of the new house before construction can begin, the production has also begun.

What Yuzhu likes most is the red rosewood weeping flower and begonia flower-surrounded bed. It is a cover on the canopy bed where you usually sleep, with a roll-top top and wooden railings on all sides.

The fence uses a combination of flat carving, relief carving and openwork carving, and the center part is also inlaid with expanded carving.

The screen with carved flower and grass patterns, the outer corridor door is in the shape of a carved moon cave, the outer fence is embossed with broken branch flower patterns, coupled with the thick curtain embroidered with dense ring patterns, the canopy of the leaning eaves, and the carved pillar frame, it forms a small small space in front of the bed.

The verandah is ethereal and elegant. There is a footrest in the middle of the verandah, and a footrest on both sides.

There is a small cupboard on one side and a small dressing table on the other side. The bed inside is of the same style. The eaves and door cover are all openworked. The surrounding baffles are carved with exquisite begonia flowers. There is a small fence above the bed.

It is inlaid with wooden railings, embossed with simple Ruyi patterns, and the lintel board

The curved water pattern hanging upside down also has begonia flowers. It is extremely exquisite. From the outside, it looks like a small independent house. But when you go inside, it feels a little dark even during the day. Various carved patterns are projected on the fence.

On the human body, the light flickers on and off, the silence is lingering, and the charming feeling suddenly arises.

This bed was made in Dengzhou. Mrs. Cui, who had just arrived in Dengzhou, fell in love with this kind of bed as soon as she saw it. She immediately decided that Yuzhu’s wedding bed should be made in this style. Because the main purpose of the Babu bed is

It is popular among wealthy families in the south, so it is easy to find craftsmen in the south. However, even if it hired twice as many craftsmen, it still took nearly three years to complete. As for the price, Yu Zhu didn't dare to ask, so the truth was definitely not hers.

A person with only twenty taels of silver can afford it.

A few days before leaving the pavilion, Mr. Cui finally filled the newly opened warehouse with piles. Duobaoge and bookshelves made by Mr. Gao's family were also delivered neatly. It was a craft passed down from generation to generation, and the lines were smooth and dignified.

, flat carved flowers

The grass patterns and decorations are very aura. Even Lin Yuanzhi, who often went to the emperor's study room and was used to seeing wealth and wealth, was quite satisfied. He said that Mr. Cui had hired the right person. Mr. Cui was so happy that after the acceptance was completed, he felt flustered when he had free time, thinking

Can I go see my daughter?

Yuzhu was doing some pre-wedding beauty treatments under the guidance of Ruan Ma**, and in her free time, she was rushing to make some gifts to present to the elders after entering the house. Moreover, Mrs. Cui did not dare to go there easily, for fear of meeting her.

I can't help but shed tears, no?

It made Yuzhu cry. After thinking about it, he decided to find something to do, and called the stewards chosen from his dowry Zhuangzi to come over and beat him up, because compared to the shop's guaranteed income from droughts and floods, the profits are basically fixed, Zhuangzi is undoubtedly more troublesome and trivial.

.

"You are all given by the old lady. You have been with me for so many years. You have always been diligent in doing things and don't have to worry too much. That's why I chose you to manage the dowry for the young lady. I will tell you.

First of all, don’t take advantage of your respectability to pick on Qiao in front of the master. If you don’t have a clear mind for a moment and do something you shouldn’t do, even if the lady is soft-hearted and lets it go, I won’t be able to rub it in my eyes, but you have to think about it.

Well, you can afford the consequences." Ms. Cui's expression was majestic and evil, even though they were separated by a screen, there was still a chill in the backs of the kneeling stewards.

The leader, an old man with a weathered face, quickly knelt and moved forward, kowtowed and said: "Madam, don't worry, if the young lady is dissatisfied with us in the future, we won't have anything to say whether we beat or expel you."

"As long as you understand." Mrs. Cui is not very worried about these people being disobedient, because the people selected are all capable and honest. After so many years, it seems that their ability may not be the best, but their loyalty is the most. I am just calling here today.

Just show off and find something to do.

After the group of people were dismissed, Ms. Cui was sitting on the rose chair thinking about anything else that she had not considered carefully, when Mother Liu came in.

Mrs. Cui raised her head and saw Liu's mother looking a little embarrassed, her face was not good, and she asked coldly: "What's going on? Did you find out what's wrong with the second master of the Cheng family?"

"No, no, there's no problem." Liu's mother hurriedly explained, "There is a problem, but if there is no problem, I don't know if there is a problem."

Mrs. Cui rarely understood what Mrs. Liu was saying, so she pointed to the little boy next to her and asked her to sit down and speak slowly.

Mother Liu sat sideways and said with a wry smile: "Madam, I actually didn't find out any news. The second master of the Cheng family has been away from Cheng Guogong's residence since he was crowned emperor. He basically stayed in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. He stayed there every time he came back.

It won’t take long for slaves to report different stories based on their temperaments and preferences. I don’t know who is right.” Mother Liu was very ashamed. It had been more than half a month and she had only gotten this result.

"What about the people in the house? The second master of the Cheng family is already twenty-five years old. How many concubines and concubines are there in the house? Where are they from?" This is what Cui is most concerned about.

Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this, and hurriedly replied: "There are four maids, one of whom is a maid who has been serving since childhood, the other two were sent by the old lady of the Cheng family after her marriage, and the last one is the strangest.

She is neither an ordinary maid nor a concubine. She seems to be the sister of the second master of the Cheng family. She is serving in the study with no name or status. There is no concubine. It seems that the second master of the Cheng family does not want it. "

Mrs. Cui's brows furrowed more and more, and she relaxed a little when she finally heard it, "What about the others? Is there anyone here who is particularly favored?"

"Madam, don't worry. The second master of the Cheng family doesn't seem to be the kind of person who lusts after women. The one with three bedrooms and a study room is said to be of good color, and I don't think he likes any of them."

Mrs. Cui couldn't feel relieved at all. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, and then asked: "That's all. Have you ever figured out why he hasn't married a wife at such an old age? People of his status should get married around the age of sixteen.

Yes, why has it been delayed for so many years?"

Mother Liu hesitated for a moment, then said carefully: "I heard that the second master of the Cheng family also planned to get married when he got old. But then, for some unknown reason, he suddenly gave up. It wasn't until he was in his early twenties that he started to get interested again...

...Unfortunately, there will be a national mourning next. After the national mourning is over, the old lady of the Cheng family is thinking about finding a wife for the second master, and invites many ladies and ladies to come over by using the grand master as a guest at the birthday banquet." Mother Liu paused.

After carefully sorting out her thoughts, she continued: "On that occasion, the old lady of the Cheng family fell in love with the fourth daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion. After going back and forth, both families agreed, but there were two cousins ​​above the Miss Qi family.

She is getting married, so she plans to wait a year before announcing it. The old lady of the Cheng family seems... her relationship with the second master of the Cheng family is a bit... stiff. She just wants to get closer to her future daughter-in-law, so she often asks the eldest daughter-in-law to invite Miss Qi to live with her.

It was nothing to talk about it, but one day something happened to Miss Qi Si in the Cheng Guogong Mansion, which seemed to be quite serious. In the end, the old lady of the Cheng family personally ordered the news to be sealed. After that, somehow the marriage was revealed again.

It’s settled..."

"The whole family is in trouble." Mrs. Cui clenched the handkerchief bitterly, thought for a while and said: "Go and call brother Ji over. I have to ask him what kind of person his brother Cheng is.

.”



While Mrs. Cui was inquiring about her future son-in-law, in the Cheng Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Xie, the old lady of the Cheng family, was also listening to her personal mother inquire about her future daughter-in-law.

"The second master is also blessed. This Miss Lin family is not simple. Does the old lady remember the great epidemic in Qingzhou four years ago? The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion sent people to pick up the third master Lin's family back to Beijing. Generally speaking, an eleven-year-old lady would meet

How can this kind of thing not be frightening? However, this young lady treats her father with such filial piety that she dares to follow the third wife of the Lin family to the epidemic area. She is really sincere and sincere." Yang's mother clicked her tongue excitedly in admiration.

Mr. Xie was wearing a dark brown plain ruffled gold and brocade trousers. Hearing this, he rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly said: "It turns out to be that Miss Lin. I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me."

"After Miss Lin came to Beijing, many people were interested in her, but she rarely went out after she came to Beijing, and Mrs. Lin was not someone who couldn't be touched, so many people stopped thinking about it... The annual Zhixin meeting

I think they all will go, it is said that the color is very good, and she is also very talented." Yang's mother thought for a while and smiled: "I'm just a bit young, I'm only fifteen this year. If it weren't for the marriage granted by the emperor, I'm afraid everyone who wants to marry me would have to break through.

The threshold is reached.”

"This reputation is all false. We have to wait until we come in to find out. I hope it goes well this time. Brother Xun can't stand any more trouble at his age." Mrs. Xie sighed and took the tea.

Take a sip.

Mother Yang stopped laughing when she heard this, and comforted her: "It was an accident last time, but this time the marriage was granted by the emperor. With the blessing of the emperor, it will be smooth and smooth."

Ms. Xie smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know if I can still see Brother Xun's son born... That's all, even if the child is born, I don't know if he will be willing to show the child to me."

Mother Yang reluctantly advised: "It will get better. Don't worry, madam. In fact, I think the second master has stopped blaming you, so why bother making such a fuss..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Mrs. Xie only felt sad for a while before she recovered her emotions, and her face became stern again, "The Lin family will come to set up the bed in the future, and I don't know what the old family is thinking. You

Go and take care of it, don't make a fool of yourself."

"Yes." Mother Yang hesitated, and finally she had to sigh and bowed to promise. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
