A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 125 Getting married
The Su family prepared sixty-four loads of dowry for Su Qingyu, which included money from Su's father-in-law and some money prepared by Lin.
The sixty-four loads of betrothal gifts that the Shen family used for their first betrothal gift were given by Shen Zhixiu to Su Qingyu as a dowry.
Later, out of the sixty loads of betrothal gifts sent by Shen Zhixiu, Lin only kept six for good luck and returned the remaining fifty-four to Su Qingyu as her private property.
This is also the rule of wealthy families in the capital. They are afraid of being known as selling their daughters, so the betrothal gifts are given to their daughters and taken back to their husband's family.
Yesterday, the Lin family sent another sixty loads of dowry, so Su Qingyu had a total of 242 loads of dowry.
The dowry must be delivered with great fanfare and beating of gongs and drums. Some families with a small dowry will leave a large gap between each dowry in order to look good.
The Su family's dowry delivery was different. They had to send people to crowd in, and the dowry was incompatible with the dowry.
Even so, when the first dowry was carried into the Shen family, the last dowry had not left the Su family.
Pearl walked into Bishui Pavilion with a smile on her face, and learned from Su Qingyu about the lively scene outside.
"Miss, everyone watching the show said they have never seen so many dowries before."
But Su Qingyu thought about how to put these things away after passing the house, and suddenly one had a head and two were big.
At noon, Su Shunci walked in happily, "Sister, I want to give you a piece of jewelry to add to your makeup. Don't dislike it."
Speaking of this, Su Shunci lowered his head in a rare move, a little embarrassed.
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing, and pulled Su Shunci over and hugged her shoulders, "What do you want to give me? I like whatever you give me, and I don't mind."
Su Shunci carefully took out a long agarwood box from her arms.
After opening it, there was a hairpin inside. To be precise, it is a wooden hairpin.
The wood is made of fine golden nanmu, and the hairpin is carved like a plum blossom on one end.
"Did you do this yourself?" Su Qingyu was pleasantly surprised.
When did fourth sister acquire this skill?
Among the people she knew, only her third cousin could carve wood.
Su Shunci nodded, "My third cousin taught me, and I did it by myself for a month. Later, when I finished it, he said it was too ugly, and he helped me fix it."
Speaking of this, Su Shunci lowered his head nervously and twisted his hands together.
She always felt that saying this made her look particularly stupid. But she couldn't bury her third cousin's contribution, and she couldn't unconscionably say that she did it herself.
Su Qingyu regarded this sister as her own sister. She smiled, held Su Shunci's face, and kissed it.
"Why would my sister dislike it? I told her to keep the jade and keep it to wear after we get married."
When Su Shunci heard that she was going to wear this hairpin, she hurriedly said, "Sister, please only wear it in your own room, and don't wear it outside."
She was afraid of being embarrassed, and she was even more afraid that Su Qingyu would be embarrassed because of this hairpin.
Not only Su Qingyu, but also the maids in the room burst into laughter.
The inexplicable melancholy before getting married was diluted by Su Shunci.
The next day, before it was bright, Su Qingyu was woken up by Pearl.
"Miss, it's time to get up and comb your hair and change clothes. My wife and the third lady are here and waiting for you."
The person from Quanfu's family who combed Su Qingyu's hair today was the third wife, Haishi. It stands to reason that although the Hai family has both children, the old Marquis of the Su family has passed away, so he is not considered a fully blessed person. But Mrs. Lin insisted on letting Mr. Hai come over against all opinions, just because Mr. and Mrs. Hai were harmonious.
Haishi wore a crimson full-length Fu Lu double-breasted gown and a red gold and gemstone hairpin on his head, looking dignified and luxurious.
Not long after, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Lin's wife, and two aunts also came.
After Su Qingyu washed herself, she put on her wedding clothes and sat in front of the dressing table.
Heide held a horn comb and said a few auspicious words before starting to comb her hair.
After combing her hair, Heide personally put makeup on her eyebrows.
"The makeup used to get married before in Beijing was too bright. I think the makeup used in Suzhou is very good and more beautiful."
"The eldest daughter of our family already has a cool and striking appearance. If she is painted too gorgeously, she will lose her original charm."
Heidegger painted carefully, and after burning a stick of incense, he put down the rouge in his hand with satisfaction. Li Yuan looked again, nodded and said: "That's good."
Su Qingyu looked at the figure in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied with Haishi's craftsmanship.
At this time, the two brothers Su Chengye and Su Chengxun, together with two uncles from the Lin family, were welcoming guests in the front yard.
There are also many visitors to the Su family today. In addition to Su Chengye's colleagues in the household department and relatives and friends of the Su family, there are also people from the DPRK and China who want to gain some connections.
It was not convenient for these people to go directly to the Shen family, so they came to the Su family to congratulate. They couldn't be driven away after they came, so Su Chengye could only bite the bullet and entertain them.
As the sound of firecrackers and drums sounded, Su Chengye knew that the wedding team was coming.
Not long after, Shen Zhixiu walked in wearing a bright red Jifu.
There were two other people accompanying him to the wedding. One of them is the Admiral of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, Song Zan, the Marquis of Zhongyi. Another person is Yang Wenshi, a scholar of Huagaidian and Minister of the Ministry of War.
Su Chengye didn't know for a moment whether he should salute these people first or Shen Zhixiu kowtow to him first.
Fortunately, Shen Zhixiu had already followed the rules and knelt down to kowtow to Su Chengye.
Su Chengye spoke in a weak tone because of his nervousness.
"Good son-in-law...get up."
Song Zan and Yang Wenshi, who were accompanying Shen Zhixiu to welcome the bride, also came forward to say hello to Su Chengye. Su Chengye felt dizzy being surrounded by several court officials.
Shen Zhixiu was then welcomed into the main hall and bowed and kowtowed to the head of the Su family.
After the ceremony on the Su family's side was completed, the pipe music sounded again. Su Qingyu said goodbye to her elders and was carried onto the sedan chair by her third brother Su Yuanyi.
The sedan chair entered through the main entrance of Shen's house. Su Qingyu, supported by Po Xi, stepped on the saddle and paid homage to the hall.
By the time she sat down in the new room, it had already darkened outside.
The noisy sounds around her made her feel a little dazed.
"Officer Groom, you can lift your hijab now."
Tightly, the golden red hijab was lifted up. Su Qingyu raised her eyes and saw Shen Zhixiu standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.
Su Qingyu felt her cheeks feel a little hot and subconsciously avoided looking at Shen Zhixiu.
Immediately afterwards, there is the ceremony of setting down the tent, followed by drinking Heju wine and eating raw dumplings.
After going through the whole process of asking for their heads, Xipo also left, leaving only Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu in the room.
Shen Zhixiu sat down by the bed and asked her softly, "Are you tired? You've been working hard all day."
Su Qingyu shook her head, "It's okay."
Because I was so nervous, I didn’t really feel tired at all.
Although she was not wearing heavy makeup today, her cold face was a bit more charming than usual.
Shen Zhixiu's eyes fell on her beautiful red lips.
He should have stood up to entertain the guests, but suddenly he leaned forward. One hand wrapped around Su Qingyu's waist, and her thin lips covered hers.
It was the first time for Su Qingyu to experience such a thing in her two lives. Her whole body was so tight that she dared not move.
Fortunately, Shen Zhixiu only tasted it briefly. He was afraid that if he kissed her again, he would not be able to leave the house.
After letting go of the person, Shen Zhixiu took two deep breaths to calm the restlessness in his heart.
He said softly: "I'll go entertain the guests. You change into loose and comfortable clothes. I'll have someone bring you a table, and you can eat first."
