Since the two families have booked their days, the rest will have to be arranged. It takes only half a month to marry, which is really too hasty. Fortunately, because Mao Chi is getting older, Chen Cang is sick for more than one day or two days. They all want to get married as soon as possible, whether it is a grand ceremony or a dowry, they are ready.
When relatives and friends received the wedding invitations from the two families for the 16th wedding this month, the two families had officially passed the ceremony.
Not only Chen Li was worried that Chen Cang could not stand it, but Xu was also worried, so he asked the second master to take Shen Rui out and go to the imperial physician's house for a while. He did not want to "beat the snake stick" to ask the imperial physician to come over to check the pulse. , but ask for a prescription.
The imperial physician had seen Chen Cang's pulse before, and he was aware of Chen Cang's illness. After hearing the purpose of his uncle and nephew, the old man did not show off his airs. After pondering for a moment, he wrote a prescription.
Chen Zhou and Shen Rui have both studied medical skills, and after reading the prescription, they are a little hesitant.
The imperial physician touched his beard and said, "Mr. Shen is already ineffective. Now he can't eat and can't swallow his pillow at night. If he doesn't use extraordinary methods, can he last for half a month? I can't say... This prescription is indeed It can make Lord Shen last longer..."
Chen Zhou took Shen Rui solemnly to thank him and left the imperial physician's envoy's house.
Along the way, neither uncle nor nephew spoke.
Although this prescription is indeed safer, it really makes Chen Cang use medicine every day to provoke sleep for the rest of his life? What if he is in his sleep... both uncle and nephew are worried.
When they returned to the Shangshu Mansion, the two went to meet Xu.
Xu took Fang Zi, and was stunned for a while. Fang nodded and said, "After all, please trouble the old miracle doctor. Don't forget to give me a heavy gift..."
Chen Zhou hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, can this recipe be used?"
Xu said: "It's just right. The master is restless these days and nights, and he coughs for half a night. After using this recipe, he can sleep well..."
Shen Rui frowned and said, "But the dosage of this medicine is too large. Will it damage my father's body?"
Xu smiled bitterly and said, "The master's body has a small amount of medicine and it is not useful..."
Chen Zhou was still hesitant, and Xu said, "I will discuss this matter with the master. Although the family is busy these days, the second uncle should not forget the Ministry of Personnel. The dust will be settled as soon as possible, and the master can feel at ease as soon as possible..." At this point, he said to Shen Rui again: "The life is in a hurry, so Brother Rui has to worry more inside and outside, and also stare at your third uncle. Don't let him be exhausted..."
Chen Zhou and Shen Rui stood up and agreed and came out of the main room.
Xu went to the inner room, sat on a stool beside the kang, and looked at her husband lying on the kang.
Chen Cang opened his eyes in a daze, looked at his wife sitting in front of him, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Have Fang Zi asked for it?"
Xu replied: "Well, it's the prescription given by the old miracle doctor himself, which is a sleep-promoting person. The master can suffer less these days..."
The news that the emperor sent an imperial physician to see the doctor was hidden from Chen Cang, but Yu Jie'er's marriage was about to come and talk about it, so Xu told her husband that Chen Cang was about to have sex with her. I have known the situation for a long time and I will explain more about my affairs after hearing this news. I did not feel much shocked.
Chen Cang nodded and said, "Okay, just have a prescription... Yu Jie'er is a sensible and filial child. I really don't want to delay her..."
The marriage between the Chen Mao family was decided a few years ago, and now it is common for men to get married. However, the relatives and friends of both families are strangers. This is too hasty. I made a decision as soon as I received the wedding invitation, and I welcomed the marriage. The days are too close.
The relatives and friends of the Shen family are fine, and they all know that Chen Cang is seriously ill and has been recuperating at home for several months, and the situation seems not good. The relatives and friends of the Mao family are bound to inquire behind the scenes, and they learn the reasons for the advancement of the marriage, but they all have their own problems. Speech.
There are many villains who can't stand others' good things, and they can't chew their tongues behind their backs and say that the bride's fate will defeat her father; and those who wanted to marry the Mao family in their early years would laugh behind them, Mao Cheng clinged to the high door. It climbed up, but it was a portal that was about to fall out in a blink of an eye.
In the officialdom, "the tea is cold when people leave", so what if it is the mansion of Shangshu, I can't count on it at all.
Apart from the two families and friends and people in the officialdom, they learned that the two families had a hasty marriage date and watched coldly, and were not one or two people waiting to see the jokes of the Shangshu Mansion.
From this look, I can see something strange.
Who said that the top scholar Chen, who was born in the top scholar, was not close to his clan members? In just half a month, Chen Xueshi went to the Shangshu Mansion three times, and Chen Xueshi's wife Xie also went twice.
There is also an official named Chen Ying from the Eastern Palace. He has also been to the Shangshu Mansion twice these days. There are also two scholars who often go to Shangshu Mansion, and it seems that they are either other people or Chen Ying's brothers.
There is also the Dali Temple Minister Yang Zhen. He has also gone to the Shangshu Mansion for two or three times these days. Hearing the news from the Imperial College, the second son of the Yang family in the prison asked for a half-month "ill" leave, but he followed the Shen Shangshu's son. The little fat man behind his butt was jumping around, how could he look sick?
There is also the Shen family’s in-law, Zuo Chunfang Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe, who has sent his children to the house these days.
Those who want to "take advantage of the situation" will come to be honest after thinking about it.
Behind Master Chen is Mr. Xie. Since he came forward to support the Shangshu Mansion, it would not be something that ordinary people can offend? Even if Mr. Xie retired, Yang Tinghe was still in charge of the Eastern Palace. He was a hot position. Wait until the crown prince. To ascend the throne, we have to go further. It may be the future Minister of the Pavilion. Who would be willing to make enemies with him?
There are many younger generations who come to the Shen family to help, but they are prepared in an orderly manner, but the Mao family is busy.
Although the Mao family has several relatives and friends in Beijing, they are either relatives and distant relatives. They usually come to the house to ask for a relationship and fight for the autumn wind. They can't help with any serious things. Fortunately, Mao Chi is also an old man in the Hanlin Academy. There were also several fellow villagers in the Hanlin Academy. In the same year, when the family was so good, she sent her female relatives to help, which prevented Mrs. Mao from going out of business.
However, scholars have always been noble, and with the customs in the south, they have always valued the legitimate and neglected the illegitimate. Someone is inevitably whispered by Yu Jie'er's identity. So what about the heir daughter? After all, it is raised by the little wife. Even if everyone says that the wife of the Shangshu Mansion is a graceful and precious person. Character, but this Yu Jie'er has only been in the long house for a few years. It is still a matter of whether she has been trained or not.
There are also those who are outspoken and can only expose one or two breaths of wind in front of Mrs. Mao.
"He is a sensible person. When you enter the door, aunts and aunts will know..." Mrs. Mao commented with some reserve.
She was a little dissatisfied with this marriage at first, but after seeing Xu and Yu Jie'er, she was only happy. She was just the daughter of a failed juren and was lucky enough to be the top scorer, but she also made trouble when she first arrived in the capital in her early years. She made a lot of jokes. She knew her own wisely. When she saw her in-laws Xu's generous and calmness, she didn't feel jealous, but was full of envy.
Yu Jie'er now has a certain character in Xu's family and is generous. She has been the director of the family in recent years and has a certain temperament. In the eyes of Mrs. Mao, she is more than ten times better than her husband's shy ladies from her hometown in the same year.
Outsiders only look at Shangshu Chen’s current dying, but Mrs. Mao knew the reputation of the Shen family in Nanshilin. Although the Shangshu Mansion was a little thin, the Shen family’s family was rich. This year, Jie Yuan in Nanzhili was just jade. Are you a clan brother of the sister?
After marrying a wife and becoming a relative of the Shen family, the Mao family still took a big advantage.
The only regret is that the marriage is too hasty and it is inevitable that there will be a little less glory. However, now it is a cheap move, which is better than having your son wait for three years.
In a blink of an eye, on October 15th, the day before the formal marriage was officially launched, Mr. Chen San took several nephews to Mao’s house to send dowry.
Mao's house is very lively, and many Hanlin women come to see the style of sending girls to the Shangshu Mansion. Mao Chi has three compatriots and sisters, all of whom are already married. The eldest daughter follows her husband to work outside, and the second daughter and the third daughter are both married in Beijing. Officials, today they all bring their children and daughters back to their parents' home to help.
The two aunts of the Mao family were also curious about the dowry of their future sister-in-law. They were not greedy for money. They just wanted to see if their future brother and sister are valued by their parents.
No matter how decent the Shen family is, a daughter valued by her relatives and a daughter who is not valued by her daughter is definitely different for the Mao family.
When the dowry is delivered, I can’t say that I can’t tell you the red makeup of ten miles, but one hundred and eight dowry is one of the few in Beijing, which is a huge sight.
Not to mention the dowry, there are two houses in the middle of the Beijing, two shops, two farms outside the Beijing, and two farms in Songjiang. Not to mention Mao Chi's future future, just these dowry industries will be enough for the children and grandchildren to worry about.
Mrs. Mao only felt the face shining, and the two aunts of the Mao family finally felt relieved. The Shen family valued the daughter Yu Jie'er, and in this way, she would definitely not be able to make a mistake in dealing with her younger brother and son-in-law in the future.
Those Hanlin wives were all shocked, and some people couldn't help but say sour words: "Even if the Shangshu Master is so arrogant, he will marry a daughter like this. If he is a pure official, it will be difficult to save these things, so he will not be afraid of impeachment by the Censor. Isn't it? "
Mrs. Mao raised her eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Xu is a noble girl from the Prime Minister's House. She has a rich dowry industry. The third wife of the Shen family only has this girl. Naturally, she must accompany her more. It is not uncommon for the three wife to accompany her...
Even if Mr. Chen left, Mr. Chen Er is the biological father of Sister Yu. Will he not take care of his daughter and son-in-law in the future? Although Mr. Chen Er is now in the absence of Nanjing Imperial College and will go to Nanjing to take office by the end of the year, his master said it clearly When Mr. Chen finished his qualifications and returned to Beijing, he would still have to be promoted.
It was really a matter of Mrs. Mao’s words. Everyone has their own additions to this dowry from Sister Yu.
Because the Mao family was just a medium-sized family, Xu did not want to show off. He prepared a house, a shop, and a village each for Sister Yu. The rest were made into silver. However, Chenzhou A house in the middle of the capital and a village outside the capital, and the third master added a shop. When Shen Rui saw that there was a southern estate on it, he added a Songjiang village.
"Jie Yu'er is the only girl at home. Her wedding date is already in a hurry, and it's good to have a decent dowry..." Chen Cang ordered.
Xu also listened to the advice and increased the originally booked 96-carrying dowry to 108 units...
