Chapter 317 – Niu Embroidery

Duke Cheng’s marriage is also considered a major event in the capital, not to mention that he is marrying Liu Tian, who is also known as Yan Luoba.

At the end of the hour, the royal relatives, the new nobles, friends and relatives came to Duke Cheng’s residence one after another to congratulate him. The guests were not only joyful, but also curious!

Today, Jiang Yishi was unable to appear, so Second Lady Meng and Third Grandmother Meng took full responsibility for receiving the female guests. After the lesson from last time, the Second Lady Meng was full of energy.

Meng Zhimo went to the outer courtyard early in the morning, and he and the Second Mistress were responsible for entertaining the male guests.

Little CunCun was dressed like a little groomsman, with a red woof embroidered gold robe, little crotch pants of the same color, and had his nurse put some of his mother’s cinnamon oil on his tile head.

He also wanted to see the fun, pulling the hand of the nursemaid struggling to go out, mouth yelling, “see the bride a few, see the bride a few ……”

Huang mom coaxed, “brother, the bride has not yet come, to the sky dark only come.”

“No, to see, the bride a few ……” He held up his belly and howled loudly, “ah ~ ~ ah ~ ~”

Jiang Yishi was made a headache, “He wants to see, just hold him to the main courtyard.”

It’s all because of Hua Hua, running away early in the morning, Xiao Cun Cun decided it went to see the bride. That kind of good thing, how can he be missing.

Flower had indeed gone to see the bride.

The little guy started to get excited yesterday. It had been on earth for two lifetimes, and the newlyweds had seen it so many times that it was too awkward and uninteresting.

In its opinion, the middle-aged version of the bride and groom’s wedding night must be like that dry wood meets fire, sparks flying. This pair and special, even if the collision does not produce sparks, but also can play a passionate ……

Listening to it chanting those words, Jiang Yishi felt blushing. That little thing, sometimes it was especially naive, and sometimes it was especially complicated.

Hua Hua also knew that the bride wouldn’t be taken into the mansion until evening, but it was too excited to take advantage of the fact that no one was there to run into the new room before climbing on top of the bed. Lying here, you can hear the corners of the wall and also see the bride and groom up close ……

At the beginning of the hour, Jiang Yi Hui and Guo Jie and Jiang Yishan came to the Floating Life House, Jiang Yirou was pregnant and did not come.

Then, Li Zhenbao, Zheng Tingting sisters, Cui Wenjun and other people who played well with Jiang Yixi came here.

At the beginning of noon, drums and noises came from outside, the bride’s dowry came. It was said that the dowry was one hundred and twenty-eight carries, totaling fifty-six thousand taels of silver, which could be described as ten miles of red makeup.

Except for Li Zhenbao, everyone went to the main courtyard to see the dowry.

Li Zhenbao’s heart flew to the main courtyard, and said with a bitter face, “Why can’t nuns look at the wedding ……?”

Jiang Yishi laughed, “Next year you won’t be a nun anymore, my fourth uncle, third sister, and sister Xue are all getting married in the second half of next year, so feel free to look. If you’re really in a hurry, you’ll get married as soon as you get home next year ……”

Li Zhenbao’s mouth pouted even higher, “I would like to get married as soon as I get home next year, but brother Zheng hasn’t taken it yet.”

At this time, Mei Xiang came in and reported, “Great Grandma, Miss Niu has already gone to Liudan Yuan.”

Niu Xiu had come to Cheng Guo Gongfu with Liu’s dowry.

As sister-in-law and housekeeper of the inner courtyard, and as a member of the same great house, Jiang Yishi had to care for this little sister-in-law.

Li Zhenbao had already heard that Niu Xiu was Liu’s and her ex-husband’s daughter, twelve years old this year.

She got up and said, “I’ll go with sister.”

The two went hand in hand to Liudan courtyard.

As soon as they entered, they saw a little girl in a watery red dress standing in the courtyard looking around.

The little girl was tall, taller than Jiang Yishi by a small head and taller than Li Zhenbao by half a head. Her skin was fair, her facial features were quite pretty, and her eyes were filled with fear.

The appearance was not very outstanding, but after hearing more about the legendary Liu’s looks, the little girl was already very, very good.

She took her mother’s height and her father’s handsomeness.

Li Zhenbao enviously whispered and tittered, “selling cakes, looks senior, nearly one meter seven, but also long it, the proportion is also good. If it is in …… is when modeling good seedling ah.”

Niu Xiu froze and looked at these two walking in front, she guessed that the big belly must be Meng Zhimo’s daughter-in-law Jiang.

Grandfather and grandmother and mother had all instructed her to get on good terms with Jiang, saying that Jiang was more than just the Shizi’s daughter-in-law, the housekeeper of this family’s inner court, or Grandfather Meng’s favorite granddaughter-in-law. Grandfather Meng didn’t praise her much in his letter, more than he did big brother Zhimo.

?

She smiled and walked forward, bent her knees and smiled, ”You are sister-in-law, right? I am Niu Xiu, just call me Xiu Xiu.”

Rather a meeting acquaintance and bold.

Jiang Yishi took her hand and smiled, “Xiu Xiu, what a lovely girl. From now on, we are family, so you can tell me anything.”

Niu Xiu said, “Thank you sister-in-law.”

Jiang Yishi pointed at Li Zhenbao again and introduced, “She is County Mistress Zhenbao.”

Is she the famous Li Zhenbao? Where is it as ugly as in the legend, and the arms are not that long …… can see that the rumors are not to be trusted.

Niu Xiu surveyed Li Zhenbao a few times in surprise, and then hurriedly hid the curiosity in her eyes. Bending her knees, she smiled and said, “My little daughter has seen the county princess.”

Li Zhenbao did not feel that the little girl was abrupt at all, nor did she take herself as an outsider. Boldly laughed and said, “You are my sister’s little aunt, that is, my little aunt …… Oh, no, it is my sister. What is there to say, my sister and I will help you.”

Jiang Yishi gave Niu Xiu a jade hairpin as a meet-and-greet gift, and Li Zhenbao took a string of rosary beads from her wrist and gave it to her.

Niu Xiu gave them each a double-sided embroidered Jiangnan fan in return.

After a few jokes, Jiang Yishi and Li Zhenbao went back to the Floating Life Residence.

After those backs disappeared, the smile on Niu Xiu’s face froze.

This sister-in-law seemed nice. Even if everyone else in this family was good, the most crucial thing was that Duke Cheng didn’t like his mother, so they didn’t know what the future would hold for them.

Both uncles said that if it was not possible, they would not marry, but her mother wanted to marry, and she had to bring her with her. Mother listens to Grandpa the most, Grandpa listens to Grandpa Meng the most ……

Meng Yue in the other courtyard hid in the house and was secretly sad.

Liu is only three years older than herself, but she brought her daughter to marry all the way to her home, she must not be able to live in her mother’s house.

Will she be disliked as a woman who has made peace? Grandfathers and grandmothers, brothers and sisters-in-law would not dislike themselves, but what about the people in the second and third houses? Now there was a stepmother, would she also dislike herself and Xin’er?

I don’t know how much longer I can stay in this house. ……

Sister Lin knew what she was thinking and advised, “Auntie is thinking too much, you still don’t know how Master Shizi and Great Grandma treat you? It is said that this new madam does not appeal to the Duke of State, and is not yet a threat to Auntie and Sister Xin. You’re hiding here and thinking blindly, why don’t you go to the flower hall and find someone you know to talk to and be happier.”

Meng Yue shook her head and said, “I’m a divorced woman, how can I go to that occasion. Third Aunt didn’t go either.”

Sister Lin disapproved, “Third Mistress is a widow, of course she can’t go. Auntie is just a merged divorcee, it’s not the same ……”
