Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

Leaning against the window, looking at the snow outside that has never stopped since the 27th, Xue Ning's eyes are full of bewilderment.In three days it will be her wedding day.

In modern times, colleges are busy earning tuition and living expenses, and working hard to make money and save money to buy a house. She just wants to have a home where she can rest when she is tired.Because of these, Xiao Xiao has never been in a relationship, but now, she is going to marry someone she has never even met.

Instead, he sneered at himself, didn't he think well when he first came to the Red Mansion?When it came to the front of the battle, he became sentimental again.It's strange how resentful the women in the ancient boudoir are.It's delicious and delicious, but being served by others and doing nothing, isn't it for resentment? "Hey~ they're all free."

"What are your orders, miss?" Cailu stopped her needlework and asked, looking up.

Cailu is one of the four maids beside the old lady. She has an ordinary appearance but is a very stable person, so she was selected by the old lady and assigned to Xiao Ning.

Both Qing'er and Lan'er were assigned by the old lady on the grounds that they were old, but why did Lan'er also be assigned?The old lady didn't say anything, so Xiao Ning didn't ask. The old lady on the left and right wouldn't hurt her.

"It's okay, I just think the snow scene is beautiful." Turning around and walking to the side of Cailu, she picked up a red satin purse embroidered with a double happiness pattern from the embroidered basket, looked around and said: "Grandma didn't do what she said. Cailu's hands are really skillful." Putting down the purse, she picked up another purse with a red background embroidered with white crane wings, "I have embroidered so much, it should be enough."

In ancient times, when a woman got married, it was up to the bride to complete everything from the wedding gown, bed curtain, and clothes to the small shoe uppers, handkerchiefs, and purses.

It's just that there are not many ladies in big families who embroider by themselves.

The small items are embroidered by the maids around her, and what Cailu can embroider now is the purse that Xiao Ning will give away when she pays her respects the next day after her wedding.The big ones have their own sewing room where good people do the work.

When accepting the recruitment (the man's job is to hire the woman), the woman needs to return the gift to the man. The clothes, hats, shoes and socks embroidered by Xue Ning for her future in-laws are all made by people in the sewing room.The things that must be embroidered by the bride herself, such as the wedding dress and pillow covers, are also embroidered by the sewing room, and Xue Ning needs to tie two needles in inconspicuous places.

"There are only a few of them. The Xue family is a big family. I heard that there are ten households before the five clothes. When the girl arrives at the Xue family, there will be too many people to send. It will not hurt to prepare more. "Zi'er broke the curtain and came in with Ruyi Cake, and said with a smile.

Picked up a piece of wishful cake and handed it to Cailu, "I'm just afraid that you are tired and you're going to teach me." After saying that, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into the mouth of Zi'er who just put down the plate, "No , I’ll give you a piece too, lest you say I’m biased later.”

Swallowing the pastry in her mouth in twos and twos, Zi'er stomped her feet and pouted, "Girl~" the girl called out several times, and Xue Ning hurriedly took another piece of wishful cake and stuffed Zi'er's mouth.

Zi'er was originally the second-class girl of Miss Wang's. After Daqing'er and Lan'er were assigned, she was raised first-class and then served by Xiao Ning's side.These days, apart from teaching Xiao Xiao how to socialize, the old lady taught her how to judge and employ people by the way.

Xue Ning looked at it coldly, Cailu and Zi'er were both good.Whether you can become a confidant in the future depends on staying together for a while.

It was another day of fighting and fighting, and the next day, Xiao Xiao was pulled up by someone on the fourth watch.He greeted the old lady in a daze, and only woke up a little after the snack.

Wei Wei yawned, "Grandma, what are you doing up so early?" Saying that, she yawned again.

"You silly girl," the old lady frowned, "Tomorrow is your wedding day, and you don't have any heart?" She turned to Cailu and said, "How do you serve the girl today? Don’t even tell the girl about the day when the make-up is given and the dowry is posted.”

"Grandmother!" Xue Ning was startled by the old lady, and the original drowsiness had gone a thousand miles away. "Grandma, don't blame them, I told you that, but my granddaughter just forgot about it." Shaking the old lady's hand, Xiao Xiao acted like a baby: "Grandmother~"

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "If you are like this, how can I marry you off at ease." Taking the stack of dowry slips and a booklet in Nanny Li's hand, she handed it to Xiao Ning and said, "This is your dowry." The list, although there are servants to help manage it, but you can't be ignorant. The other booklet, take it and memorize it and burn it."

Xue Ning took it quickly, before she put it away, Mrs. Wang asked again: "Do you know the servants and maids who will be married?"

"Grandma, don't worry, my wife sent someone to bring it to my granddaughter yesterday. Just..." After hesitating for a while, Xue Ning continued: "Among the people chosen by grandma, two rooms were changed, and all of them were slaves. It was not delivered to me."

The old lady frowned, "It's done, I already know about it, you just pretend not to know." Patting Xiao Xiao's hand, the old lady sighed.

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, turned around and went back to the room to freshen up.She really forgot about applying makeup and giving makeup today.I just put on a pink twig flower bedding in a hurry and came out.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, I saw the woman in the mirror.She is slender, with a delicate complexion and bright eyes.The long black hair was combed by Zi'er into a hanging bun, with a purple radish butterfly hairpin on the left side, and a four-butterfly necklace hanging down on the right side.Because she was never married, she left two strands of black hair hanging on both chests, tied with purple brocade thread.

The moon-white long jacket worn in the morning has not been replaced, only the outer bedding has been replaced with a purple double-breasted stand-up collar and a gold hundred butterfly wearing a flower bedding.He also wore a pair of gold-studded amethyst earrings, and on his wrist he only wore the black and white Wuchang bracelet, and no other flower decorations.Looking at it from left to right, the purple color made her look noble and majestic, Xiao Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that it was still early, she turned around and handed the dowry list to Cailu, asking her to proofread it again with the previously registered dowry items.On the other hand, she walked to the kang and flipped through the booklet the old lady gave her.

The booklet is not thick, it only contains a few articles, but it summarizes all the big and small masters of the Xue family's houses.There are as many as ten households in the Xue family who have not yet issued five clothes, and each runs their own business.Excluding the big house she married, the three-bedroom and five-bedroom businesses are the largest.The fourth and seventh rooms are closest to the big room.Except for the sixth room, an old birthday star is left to support the rest of the rooms, and the weather is not great.

Write it down carefully, these will be of great help to her in the future.

Xue Ning took the dowry list that Cailu had proofread, "Have you checked everything carefully? Did you make a mistake?" Looking through it slowly, apart from antique calligraphy and paintings, there is a box of rubies, a box of emeralds, and a box of sapphires , a box of purple gemstones, ten pairs each.There are also six boxes of Nanzhu and eight boxes of Taihu Pearl, as well as the bed, table, utensils, cages, bedding, clothes for the four seasons, dowry for head and face, medicinal materials and cosmetics, everything you need for daily life.

"Cailu, these are the dowry given to me by the master and wife?" Dazzled by the sight, Xiao Ning was a little disbelieving, seeing this posture almost emptied half of the Wang family.Don't say that Xue Ning still has two older brothers, even if she didn't, the Wang family would never give her such a dowry to a married daughter.

"Girl forgot, there are also Xue's dowry and the old lady's make-up!" Zi'er replied from the side.

Throwing the list on the kang table, "I said! Since they are both the daughters of the master and wife, why is my dowry different from that of my sister?"

Wang Momo walked into the room at this moment, and said with a smile: "Miss, you are ready, the guests will come soon."
