In the following days, Cui's fell into complete busyness, going to the treasury every day to check the dowry, and the more he looked at the things that were still pleasing to the eye, the more he felt shabby.
She simply opened another storeroom, moved the re-selected ones to her liking, and left those who were not satisfied, and then quickly sent the steward out to buy, and was sure to find the best.
Furniture such as Luohan bed, beauty couch, step bed, screen, desk, flower table and so on were laid earlier, and what was done was to apply varnish again to make it present a shiny and smooth color; As for other large pieces of furniture such as top cabinets, bookshelves and multi-treasure shelves, which need to be measured before the new house can be started, the production has also begun.
Yuzhu's favorite is the red sour branch wood hanging flowers and begonia flowers around the step bed, that is, on the basis of the usual sleep shelf bed set a cover, there is a roll canopy roof, the four sides are inlaid with wooden fences, the fence is comprehensively used flat carving, relief, openwork, the central part is also inlaid with an expanded carved flower and grass pattern screen, the outer corridor door is carved with a moon cave door shape, the outer fence is embossed with folded branch floral patterns, with a thick curtain embroidered with dense ring patterns, leaning on the eaves flower cover, carved column frame, it makes the bed form a small corridor, ethereal and sophisticated, In the middle of the corridor is a footrest, with a small cabinet on one side and a small dresser on the other.
The style of the bed body inside is almost the same, the hanging eaves and the door cover part are all open-carved, the surrounding baffles are carved with exquisite begonia flowers, the small enclosure above the bed is inlaid with a wooden fence, the relief is carved with a simple ruyi pattern, and the curved water pattern under the frieze is also carved out of the begonia flowers.
Extremely exquisite, it looks like an independent small house from the outside, and even if it is daytime, it feels a little dim, and the various carved patterns on the fence are projected onto people, the light is bright and off, quiet and lingering, and the feeling of charm is suddenly born.
This bed was made when I was in Dengzhou, and Cui, who had just arrived in Dengzhou, liked this kind of bed as soon as he saw it, and immediately decided that the marriage bed for Yuzhu's marriage would be of this style.
Because the stepping bed was mainly popular among the wealthy in the south, it was easy to find craftsmen in the south, but even if twice as many craftsmen were hired, it still took nearly three years to complete.
As for the price, Yuzhu didn't dare to ask, the truth was definitely not something that a person like her who only had twenty taels of silver a month could afford.
A few days before leaving the pavilion, Cui's finally piled up the newly opened warehouse, and the Duobaoge and bookshelves made by Tuogao's mother's family were also sent neatly, which is worthy of the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation, the lines are smooth and dignified, and the flat carved flowers and grass decorations are very aura.
Even Lin Yuanzhi, who often enters the emperor's imperial study and is accustomed to seeing wealth and nobility, is quite satisfied, and the straight Cui family is the right person.
Cui's joy was completed, and he felt flustered when he was free, and wanted to see his daughter, but Yuzhu was doing some premarital beauty conditioning under the guidance of Ruan's mother, and he had to hurry to make some meeting gifts to the elders after entering the door, and Cui's did not dare to go over easily, for fear that he would not be able to cry when he met, and he didn't make Yuzhu cry.
After thinking about it, I still found something to do, and called the steward selected from my own marriage Zhuangzi to come over and beat it, because compared with the store's drought and flood income and basically fixed profits, Zhuangzi is undoubtedly more troublesome and trivial.
"You are all given by the old lady, and you have been with me for so many years, you have always been diligent and diligent, and you don't have much heart, so I chose you to come out to the young lady to marry Zhuangzi, I will tell you in front, don't rely on your own dignity to take Qiao in front of the master, if you don't know what you shouldn't do for a while, even if the young lady is soft-hearted and let go, I can't rub the sand in my eyes, but if you think about the consequences, you can afford it" Cui's expression was majestic, and his anger was exposed, Although through the screen, a chill still rose behind the kneeling stewards.
An old man with a weathered face in the lead hurriedly knelt down and moved forward, kowtowed, and said, "Don't worry, Mrs., if the young lady is not satisfied with us in the future, there is nothing to say whether she will beat us or not." ” "It's good to understand."
Cui Shi is not very worried that these people are disobedient, because the selected ones are capable and honest, and after so many years, their abilities may not be the best, but their loyalty is the most sufficient.
Calling here today is just for show, and by the way, find something to do.
After sending the group away, Cui was sitting on the rose chair thinking about whether there was anything else that had not been thought through, and Liu's mother came in.
Cui Shi looked up and saw that Liu's mother was a little embarrassed, her face was not good-looking, and she asked coldly: "What's the matter, do you know what's wrong with the second master of the Cheng family?"
"No, no, it's fine."
Liu's mother hurriedly explained, "There is a problem, but if there is no problem, I don't know if there is a problem." ” It was rare that Cui Shi didn't understand Liu's mother's words, so he pointed to the little pestle next to her and asked her to sit down and speak slowly.
Mother Liu sat sideways and said with a wry smile: "Madam, in fact, I didn't inquire about any news, the second master of the Cheng family has often been absent from Cheng Guogong's Mansion since the crown, and basically stays in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Mother Liu is very ashamed, it's been more than half a month, and she only got such a result.
"What about the people in the room, the second master of the Cheng family is twenty-five, there are a few rooms in the house, and how many concubines are coming from" Cui's most concerned about this.
Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this, and hurriedly replied: "Four rooms, one of them is a maid who has been serving since childhood, and the other two are sent by the old lady of the Cheng family after opening her face, and the last one is the most strange, not an ordinary maid and not a concubine, it seems to be the sister of the second master of the Cheng family.
There is no concubine room, it seems that the second master of the Cheng family is unwilling. ” Cui's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he relaxed a little when he heard the end, "What about the others, and is there any particularly favored here?"
"Mrs., don't worry, this second master of the Cheng family doesn't seem to be the kind of person who covets women, and the three who go to the study are said to be of no bad color, and I haven't seen which one he likes."
Cui Shi couldn't feel at ease at all, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and then asked: "That's it, have you ever figured out why he hasn't married a wife at such an old age, and he should have married at the age of sixteen or so with his status, why has it been delayed for so many years?"
Mother Liu hesitated for a moment, and said with a sense of proportion: "I heard that the second master of the Cheng family also planned to say kiss when he reached his age, but then I don't know what happened, I suddenly gave up, and it was faintly meaningful until I was in my early twenties, but unfortunately it was the national funeral after that, and after the national funeral was over, the old lady of the Cheng family pondered about finding a daughter-in-law for the second master, and invited many ladies and ladies to come over by using the grandfather of the country to be a guest at the birthday banquet."
Mother Liu paused, carefully sorted out her thoughts, and continued: "At that time, the old lady of the Cheng family fell in love with the fourth lady of the Qi State Mansion, and after coming and going, both families had that meaning, but there were two cousins above the Miss Qi family who were not married, so they planned to announce it in a year."
The old lady of the Cheng family seems to have a stiff relationship with the second master of the Cheng family, so she wants to get closer to her future daughter-in-law, so she often asks the granddaughter of the long house to invite Miss Qi Si to come over to talk, which is nothing, but then one day Miss Qi Si has something to do in the Cheng Guo Mansion, it seems to be quite serious, and in the end, the old lady of the Cheng family personally ordered the news of the blockade.
After that, somehow the family affair was over."
"The whole family is not at peace."
Cui Shi clenched his handkerchief hatefully, thought about it and said, "You go and call Brother Ji over, I have to ask him what kind of character Brother Cheng is." ” At the same time that Cui's inquired about his future son-in-law, in Cheng Guogong's mansion, the old lady of the Cheng family, Xie Shi, was also listening to her mother's inquiry about the situation of her future daughter-in-law.
"The second master is also blessed, this Miss Lin family is not simple, does the old lady still remember the Qingzhou epidemic four years ago, the Marquis of Ningyuan sent someone to pick up the family of Lin San and return to Beijing, where is the eleven-year-old lady of ordinary people not frightened when she encounters this kind of thing, but this young lady treats her father with a heart of filial piety, and dares to go to the epidemic area with the third wife of the Lin family, it is really affectionate and sexual" Mother Yang was excited and admired.
Xie Shi was wearing a dark brown pigmented brocade gown, rubbed his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be the Miss Lin family, if you don't say it, I forgot it." ” "After the Miss Lin family entered Beijing, many people were targeted, but people rarely went out after entering Beijing, and Mrs.
Lin was not a person who couldn't splash water, so many people just took their minds to go to the Zhixin meeting every year, and it is said that the color is very good, and she is also very talented."
Mother Yang thought about it and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm a little younger, I'm only fifteen this year, if it wasn't for the emperor's marriage, I'm afraid that the suitor will have to break the threshold." ” "This reputation is all false, whether it's okay to wait until you enter the door to find out, I hope this time it's safe, Brother Xun can't stand the toss at this age."
Xie sighed, took a sip of tea.
Mother Yang couldn't laugh when she heard this, and comforted: "Last time, it was an accident, but this time it was a marriage from the emperor, and with the blessing of the emperor, it will be smooth and smooth." ” Xie smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I can see Brother Xun'er's son landing, even if the child is born, I don't know if he is willing to show me the child." ” Mother Yang helplessly persuaded: "It's going to get better, don't worry, madam, in fact, the slave thinks that the second master doesn't blame you for a long time, why bother making such a fuss."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it."
Xie Shi only felt sad for a while before he cleaned up his emotions, and his face was tight, "The Lin family is going to come to make a bed the day after tomorrow, and I don't know what the old family thinks, you go and take care of it, don't make jokes." ” "Yes."
Mother Yang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally had to sigh and bow down to promise. gd1806102:
