The next day, June 23rd.
The original wedding date was June 25th, so there were only two days left.
The Li family attaches great importance to Li Zexuan's marriage. Although Han Yuxi does not come from a wealthy family, she is the newly recognized adopted daughter of Qin Qiong and his wife. Compared with the old aristocratic families, the Qin family and the Cheng family are upstart groups belonging to the imperial court. This is A force that cannot be ignored, so it makes sense that Han Yuxi has such an identity, which indeed adds a lot of attention to this marriage.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Zexuan likes Han Yuxi very much. Since his son likes her, what else can Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li say? As the saying goes, they care deeply about such a marriage.
"It has to be grand, lively and full of pomp, otherwise it will be a joke."
This is what Li Jingmo said a month ago, and in fact, he did so.
In the past few days, Father Li and Mrs. Li have been rosy and full of energy, rejuvenated with the second spring. The whole house is also a joyous scene. The red cloth and red curtains have been hung up in advance. Mrs. Li organized the family members to carry out several activities. It was a general cleaning, and every place was cleaned several times. Basically, there was no dead spot. Not only was it spotless, but with the naked eye, you couldn't see a trace of dust in any room.
This made Li Zexuan have to take off his shoes every time he returned to the room, otherwise the wooden floor in the house (there were many floor materials in the Tang Dynasty, including stone, wooden floor, ceramic tiles, rammed floor, etc.) would have to be scrubbed again. Fortunately, It's summer now, otherwise without floor heating, wouldn't my bare feet be freezing to death~?
Half a month ago, the Li family had already sent the betrothal gift to the Han family. The copper coins alone were used to pull 30 ox carts, totaling 30,000 guan. The immortal drunkenness that was popular in Chang'an brought 50 altars. Cheng Yao After Jin found out, he was very greedy and secretly hated himself for not having a daughter (Cheng Yaojin did not have a daughter in the official history, and the TV series is certainly not credible). He gave three new carriages "Don't Touch Me" and one Liangtian. Thousand acres, and various other gifts, it is initially cost-effective. The total value of the betrothal gift is at least 50,000 yuan.
Such a huge betrothal gift shocked the "meal-eating masses" at that time, and the whole city of Chang'an was excited. People in Hanjiazhuang and the surrounding villages were still talking about Han Tianhu after such a long time, and they were worried about Han Tianhu finding such a son-in-law. It's all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Many people who have daughters are also wondering whether they should bring their daughters to the Li Mansion to see her. If Li Zexuan falls in love with her, wouldn't their family become prosperous?
He didn't know what others thought of Li Zexuan, but he couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about the tedious wedding procedures he would go through in the next few days.
He actually thinks that the wedding should be simple, but he has to think about Han Yuxi. If the wedding is simple, it will not be him who will be miserable, but Han Yuxi. Although Han Yuxi is not the kind of person who despises poverty and loves wealth, but for this once-in-a-lifetime event for a woman, who doesn’t want to be grand and happy~?
Therefore, my father and mother said that we should do something big, and Li Zexuan followed suit. They are not afraid of spending money. In order to give face to Han Yuxi, this new daughter-in-law, it is worth spending any amount of money. Now the Li family is not short of money at all.
Yesterday afternoon, the Han family sent a message saying that they would send someone to make the bed for today's meeting. So early in the morning, Mrs. Li got up and cleaned the house again. No one in the household complained. Everyone is happy and works hard without complaining, because there is a reward!
Making the bed, also known as making the house or setting up the bed, is usually done by a lucky man who moves the new bed to the appropriate location a few days before the wedding. Then, the good fortune lady is responsible for making the bed, spreading the mattress, sheets, dragon and phoenix quilts, etc. on the bed, and scattering various happy fruits, such as red dates, longan, dried lychees, and red and mung beans. After the bed is installed, no one is allowed to enter the new room or touch the new bed until the couple enters the room on the wedding night.
Since the wedding date was confirmed, Mrs. Li has been talking about the marriage process in Li Zexuan's ears. Otherwise, where would Li Zexuan know about these red tapes?
After breakfast, old man Li Zexuan leaned back on the couch leisurely, leisurely reading the freshly released "Datang Daily", and let his father and mother busy in the yard and give instructions.
It's not that he doesn't help, it's that he will only help more and more. On this point, Father Li and Mrs. Li have a deep consensus, and Li Zexuan is fortunately at ease.
Gee, it’s great not having to go to work!
Li Zexuan thought happily.
"Hmph~! The smelly brother is lazy again!"
Suddenly her legs sank, and she saw Lan'er sitting across Li Zexuan's lap, with two hands reaching out to tug on Li Zexuan's face. I don't know if it was because Li Zexuan's face was too handsome or something else, but she often pulled Li Zexuan. Apart from her arms, Lan'er's favorite thing is to grab Li Zexuan's face.
Li Zexuan quickly opened the little girl's hand and said angrily: "Get down quickly! What's it like!"
Regarding Lan'er, he really has a headache. This girl is almost seven years old. In this era when women generally get married at the age of eleven or twelve, this age is not too young. Although the folk customs in the Tang Dynasty are open, there is such a difference between brothers and sisters. Intimacy was rare, and Li Zexuan, who came from modern times, thought it was nothing, but his father and mother had scolded him and the little girl for this matter.
"No! No! Brother, are you reading the newspaper again? Why don't you go chat with sister Yuxi~?"
Lan'er shook her head and resisted Li Zexuan's pull with her two white and tender arms, but she just didn't want to go down.
Li Zexuan was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't bother to care. Anyway, his father and mother were very busy now. He glared at the little girl angrily and said:
"You have the nerve to say that~? You occupy the telegraph machine every day, how can I use it~?"
The little girl is getting thicker and thicker now. It is entirely because of her that the chat time between Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi has been drastically reduced. Of course, Li Zexuan can only endure it when dealing with this "little bully" in the family~!
"Hehe~! Where can I find it! Lan'er won't occupy it anymore, brother can use it now~"
Lan'er chuckled sheepishly.
"Why~?"
Li Zexuan glanced at the little girl suspiciously and asked.
"Hmm~~, brother, your telegraph machine is not good~~, it can only transmit text, and you can't hear sister Yu Xi's voice. It's really bad. Lan'er doesn't think it's interesting! Also, listen to my mother He said, Sister Yuxi will live in our house forever starting from the day after tomorrow, and then we can play with Sister Yuxi every day, why do we still need to use this broken telegraph machine~? It’s too laborious!”
You can't do this~~! too poor! Broken telegraph machine......
Li Zexuan had a dark look on his face. This communication tool that spanned the ages was despised by the little girl! Lan'er seems to have a sense of superiority when playing with the telegraph machine. There is no one who has high standards for her now!
