Chapter 117 Wu Ying Gets Married
"Youwei, bookmarks are not time-consuming things, you can make some for me, can't you?" Wu Jun's face became unhappy.
"I have no inspiration, no interest, and the things I make are rigid, and I am afraid that my brand will be smashed." Wu Youwei was also told after he went out that he became famous and his bookmark became famous.
Moreover, Master Ji Kong and the two masters even quarreled over the bookmark.
There are actually many more of the ones he made before, but every time he gives a gift, he gives one. Is there too much? It is said that some people are pursuing fashion now, and his bookmark is one of them.
Wu Jun didn't even smile this time: "Let me tell you the truth, a nobleman wanted it, and I agreed, you make me a set of bookmarks.
"Don't do it." Wu Youwei still refused: "I don't have inspiration now, I can't do it, if you want a wooden piece, you will be ashamed.
Wu Jun: "...!!!"
So, the topic was so happily chatted to death.
After Wu Youwei had eaten, he went back to wash and rest.
Wu Jun was left sitting alone in the study for a long time without recovering.
This concubine is really getting more and more capable?He was disobedient!
He didn't ask him to do big things, he just asked him to be a bookmark.
Besides, he had already agreed to Niu Yu, the old eunuch, even though he didn't even have any subordinates, but he liked arty the most, I really don't know what to think...
It's just that this incident didn't stop time, and Wu Jun couldn't do anything to Wu Youwei, because he was about to start busy again.
His son Wu Ying is getting married.
Wu Youwei arrived on the second day, and people from his tribe began to come one after another.
Although the Wu family is not flourishing, there are still some people in the clan. People who appeared at the funeral of Mr. Wu and when the family was separated, appeared again this time.
Old Mrs. Wu San and Mrs. Wu Seven, as elders, accompany the elderly of the same age and generation. Of course, if Mrs. Wu is alive, this is Mrs. Wu's job.
Mrs. Wu was accompanied by old ladies of the same age and generation.
The Wu Sun family entertained the female relatives, because Wu Qian'er was still in the palace, and she didn't want the concubine daughter to come out to entertain, and she also disliked that the second wife was a widow, so she was too busy to go around alone, and she was happy with it.
In the end, it was Wu Sun's natal sister-in-law who couldn't stand it, and asked her youngest daughter to help greet the guests. Since she was the countess, she was in charge.
The backyard is big, and there are few people coming, so it went smoothly.
Up front, Wu Jun was accompanied by people similar to him. Not many high-ranking officials came to Wu's house, and Wu Ying also had a few cousins who came to help in advance.
And Wu Youwei, as the only one among these people who relied on his own ability to pass the Juren examination and is also a well-known scribe, has attracted the attention of many people.
But everyone dare not be too obvious, after all there is a difference between concubine and concubine, with these four words, Wu Jun is doomed to dominate Wu Youwei forever.
Wu Youwei had already thought of a countermeasure. This was what he came up with in a flash this morning when he woke up to wash his face!
Although Wu Youwei has no problem with socializing and entertaining, he will not be so stupid as to show his good at dancing at this time.
That's too eye-catching.
So he behaved very "regular": both rigid and polite.
When you see people, you bow your hands as a gift, call people according to their seniority, and follow behind your brother as a shadow.
Wu Jun originally wanted to detain Wu Youwei and let him know that without the permission of his direct brother, he would not even have the chance to show his face on such an occasion.
It's just a bookmark, why don't you hurry up and do it?
In the end, he found out that this concubine brother was real... I was stupid in reading.
Knowing nothing about the ways of the world, he just followed him as a background wall, causing Wu Jun to become a spinning top all by himself.
On the other side, Wu Ying, as the prospective bridegroom, naturally sat with three unmarried cousins, and a few people he knew who were also the same sons and brothers were also there, and everyone was whispering about who's housemate, As soon as Wu Ying raised her head, she saw Wu Youwei following her father in a rigid manner, and his father was so busy that his forehead was sweating.
Immediately got angry.
Seeing him like that, his third cousin, Sun Jia, also followed his eyes. When he discovered the situation over there, he curled his lips and said, "Isn't your family separated? Why is he still with little uncle?"
Sun Jia is the youngest son of Sun Tong, only five years older than Wu Ying, but Sun Jia is not married yet.
It's all because of Sun Tong's husband, who has always wanted to marry his youngest son a good wife, but who doesn't know that Sun Tong's youngest son is spoiled by Mrs. Sun?No one married their daughter to Sun Jia.
There are people who want to marry their daughters, but Mrs. Sun hasn't taken a fancy to them yet, and the people she likes don't marry their daughters to her youngest son.
The other two are the sons of Sun Tong's cousin, and they are also descended from the first line.
When several people get together, they will naturally only flatter others, and will not turn against each other.
Wu Ying looked down on Wu Youwei, and so did the others.
"He's still a Juren." Wu Ying didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. After the family split, this was also his little uncle.
"Why don't you play tricks?" Someone suggested, "It's just a bastard."
Wu Ying also wanted to teach Wu Youwei a lesson, so she brought people over and surrounded Wu Youwei alone in a small circle.
"Uncle, this is my third cousin..." Wu Ying introduced him to Wu Youwei.
Wu Youwei very "naturally" took out... a small jade pendant.
Each of them is top-quality suet jade, but each one is not big. These are scraps left over from Mu Xiaosheng's carving. He used to use scraps to practice his hands. When I get down, I make some small things when I have nothing to do, such as small jade pendants, jade beads and so on.
Wu Youwei didn't know, but when he came, Master Mu brought a small bag to Butler Lin. After Lin Butler looked at it, he put it away and gave it to Wu Youwei this morning. jade pendant.
Wu Youwei has a high seniority, so if a younger generation visits him, it doesn't make sense not to give a meeting ceremony.
Giving money is actually the most suitable, but it needs to be put in the purse, so the money is not in vain.
But when they came, they didn't bring so many purses, besides, the purses were all embroidered by Xu Niang and the others, so Wu Youwei was reluctant.
Anyway, he has plenty of jade materials, and this one is ground from leftover materials. He is willing to part with it for practice.
Wu Ying and the others came over. Wu Youwei had never met or knew him before, but now that Wu Ying introduced him, Wu Youwei took out a meeting gift. It is a pattern, the blessing beans of mutton fat jade.
"This is a meeting gift." Wu Youwei sent them out one by one, and said, "What kind of books do you study at home now? Did you get any honors? Which academy did you study in?"
Everyone originally wanted to accept the gift and continue to talk about this bastard, but they didn't expect that the other party would take advantage of the status of the elder and send them something, and as soon as they got the item, several people knew that it was not light.
The top-quality suet jade, the touch is quite different from ordinary jade, although there is only a small jade pendant, it is worth a hundred or so taels of silver.
For them, it is already a very good meeting ceremony.
Wu Youwei was so generous as an elder, it seemed inappropriate for them to tease or sarcasm.
This is the true portrayal of "short handedness".
Even Wu Ying was a little surprised when he saw that Fudou, uncle got rich?
It's just that Wu Youwei gave them something, so he took the initiative to chat with them: "I'm afraid there will be Enke after the new year. Is there anyone who wants to take the exam?"
What to test?
Are they all ignorant dudes?
I haven't read all the Four Books and Five Classics, so I still have to take the exam?
But I just took a meeting gift from someone, so I can't ignore him?
So one by one took the initiative to mention the drama of the maidservant... Wu Youwei said that he was very unfamiliar with it.
Some gossips asked who's family has something sexy... Wu Youwei shook his head three times, he didn't know!
Later, I asked who had a Jinshi in his family, and whose family had an imperial examination... thinking about this topic, right?
Hey!
It was the right person to ask, now Wu Youwei was excited, now he knew.
From where did that person study, who is sir?What articles have been written, what rhetoric has been used, which fonts have been used well, all the way to various deeds of relevant literati and refined scholars.
It wasn't for nothing that he went to the Wenhui tea party. He learned many things from this kind of intersection, and his friendship was also established at this time.
This kind of chat content is naturally highly respected by those literati and refined scholars.
But these dandies are not. They hate Ziri Shiyun the most, and even more so.
Those who have a bit of literary talent are also used to go to the big fence of the brothel Chuguan to chat with famous prostitutes, okay?After chatting for a while, they couldn't take it anymore, and hurriedly moved away from Wu Youwei. It was really sore!
Relying on his status as the "elder" of these boys, Wu Youwei continued to teach all the "junior" who could get it very calmly: "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. Read a lot and be sensible, and you will gain fame and fame in the future, and serve the court...
Hanging the book bag is called investment, and what is said is called pedantic!
Xiao Xiao followed behind the master, thinking that the master was enough, he had goosebumps all over his body when he said these words, how dare he talk about this with others?
The next day, Wu Youwei found that he was free.
No one finds fault with him, no one turns a blind eye to him, and no one sneers at him anymore. Everyone knows that this bastard from the Wu family who separated from his family is stupid in reading.
Even if Wu Ying wanted to find Wu Youwei, there was no time left, and the people in the Wu Mansion were extremely busy now, because today was the day for the unmarried daughter-in-law to start her dowry.
In ancient weddings, the dowry was not a dowry followed by the new daughter-in-law. Instead, the dowry was sent from the woman's family to the man's home one day in advance, and the dowry was placed in the hall for people to watch, which is called "seeing the dowry".
The utensils are hung with red thread, the clothes are scented with sandalwood, and several silver coins are placed at the bottom of the box, commonly known as "press box money".The dowry is moved to the man's side, and it is also displayed in the hall for people to watch, which is also called "seeing the dowry".
Quanfu's mother-in-law takes the woman's key bag, and takes the key to open the box, commonly known as "out of the box".
Also called "dowry drying".
The bride's dowry is quite a lot, but many of them are ancient high-end handicrafts, and there are also real gold and silver, 3000 taels of silver and 200 taels of gold at the bottom of the box.
This is already a very generous dowry for ordinary people.
There are also all kinds of clothes, fabrics, ornaments, jewelry, etc...
Everyone spoke good things, and some women from small families showed envy in their eyes.
Wu Sun is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's dowry.
The next day, the Wu Mansion started to move before dawn. Today is a good day.
Although in Wu Youwei's view, the process of ancient weddings was somewhat complicated and cumbersome, every link of the process represented a blessing to the couple, indicating that they would have a bright future and a beautiful life.
The three major events in life are new birth, starting a family, and passing away.
After a whole day of tossing around, Wu Youwei, who didn't do anything, felt tired, and the wedding was finally completed.
After one night, the next day when the new daughter-in-law offered tea, Wu Youwei saw the nephew and daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she kept her head down the whole time.
Wu Youwei gave a meeting gift: a set of gold-encrusted jade headdresses, and a pair of concentric jade pendants.
They are all top-grade mutton fat jade, Mrs. Wu is more and more satisfied, and the things given out by the separated family should come back this time.
After staying for three days, the bride came back after returning home. The next day, Wu Youwei went back to Moling Villa. .
But he had only been at ease for two days, and the steward of the Wu residence came again. This time, he didn't even bring over a gift, but arrogantly gave Wu Youwei a bolt from the blue!
"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: In July Renshen, the Wu family was established as the queen.
