Chapter 588 Jiang Kong Gets Married
The Jiang family's status in the town is rising. Which family can have so many scholars?
They are all so competitive.
That student was Jiang Tongshui, who almost married Chen Hongxia.
Although he didn't make the list in the college examination, he was already very satisfied that he had passed the examination and became a student.
The day before the wedding, the Jiang family's servants were decorating the Jiang residence.
Because it is a two-way marriage, there is no wedding ceremony.
The two families decided to hold a grand banquet at the young couple's house, and the guests from the Jiang family and the Kong family sat together.
This house was bought with Zhang Jinlan's own money. It had been renovated long ago and given to Jiang Wangyou after being furnished with furniture.
It is located in Qingdai Lane, Wuji Street, very close to Jiang Fubao’s shop and also close to Jiang’s residence.
As early as three days ago, the house was decorated with red lanterns and red cloths hung everywhere, and the word "囍" could be seen everywhere.
Tables and chairs borrowed from various households were placed in the courtyard of the house.
There are thirty tables in total.
Even with all this, the two families are afraid that there won’t be enough space.
A few more tables were set up in the house in case of emergency.
The three sisters Jiang Fubao, Jiang Ruyi and Jiang Huanyu stayed by Jiang Wangyou's side all the time, talking to her in private.
"Miss, the maid is here. It's time to get dressed." The four sisters fell asleep together and were woken up by the maid before dawn.
The old woman the maid was referring to was Grandma Xi who was specially invited by the Jiang family.
This person is very blessed. Not only are her parents-in-law still healthy, but even her parents and brothers from her natal side are still alive. She has sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, and grandchildren. Her son and daughter-in-law are filial, and her daughter is well married. It can be said that she has never suffered in her life.
Grandma Xi has an oval face, big earlobes, thick lips, a pair of eyes that curve when she smiles, a full and shiny forehead, and is so blessed that she even looks like a Buddha.
This kind of person would bring good fortune to Jiang Wangyou if he could dress her up.
"Once you comb your hair to the end, the two newlyweds will surely respect each other as equals."
"Comb your hair twice, and grow old together, like mandarin ducks and water, never to be separated."
"Comb your hair three times, and you will have descendants all over the floor, laughter all over the house, and a prosperous family..."
"Once you put on your red makeup, I guarantee that your son-in-law will smile from ear to ear when he sees you. Miss Jiang is so beautiful. Your son-in-law will definitely love and care for you for the rest of his life..."
Grandma Xi said auspicious words.
After several hours of dressing up.
Jiang Wangyou had already put on her wedding dress and was sitting on the bed.
Jiang Fubao's three sisters also changed into festive clothes and stayed beside her, but they were all pink, not bright red, so as not to steal the bride's limelight.
"Sister, it's time to go to the main hall and serve tea." The maid came to urge, Jiang Fubao lifted Jiang Wangyou's arm, and the four sisters went to the main hall together.
Unlike other people’s crying at weddings, this one was extremely sad.
When Jiang Wangyou served tea, everyone in the Jiang family had a smile on their face.
One is difficult to meet, the other can come back whenever he wants, the difference is huge.
"Child, live a good life with Mingxue and don't quarrel. Come back and live here when you miss home. If Mingxue bullies you, grandpa will not forgive him..." Jiang Shoujia said.
"Wangyou, from now on, you are the mistress of the family. You must learn to manage the inner house well and don't raise any betrayers. Grandma knows that you are the kindest, but people can't be too kind, understand? You are different from others. We will always be behind you. No one can bully you. If you are unhappy, just come back. This will always be your home."
Zhang Jinlan said.
"Time flies so fast. The wedding day is approaching, but I still treat you as a child. My daughter, remember to come back often after you get married. I miss you..." Although she is not her biological daughter, Zhu Yingqiu has no daughter and has always treated Jiang Wangyou as her own daughter.
She held Jiang Wangyou's hand and tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Afraid that her daughter would be infected by her emotions and cry so much that her makeup would be ruined, Zhu Yingqiu quickly let go of her hand, sat back in the chair, and covered her face with a handkerchief.
Everyone in the Jiang family talked to Jiang Wangyou for a long time.
The group did not leave home until they heard outside that it was getting late.
Jiang Wangyou sat in a sedan chair carried by eight people, followed by two carriages carrying Jiang's family members.
If you don’t marry off your daughter, you can naturally go to your daughter’s house and attend the wedding banquet.
Behind the carriage was Jiang Wangyou’s dowry, which could not be an exaggeration to say was a ten-mile-long dowry.
Even when the sedan chair and carriage arrived at the alley entrance, the dowry had not yet completely left the Jiang family's gate.
People on the street stopped to watch.
Many people pointed at the sedan chair and gossiped.
"Oh, so much dowry, are you giving away all the money in the family as a dowry? How silly! He's not a son, is it necessary? My goodness, if you don't know, you would think the Jiang family is marrying off a princess."
"Hush, you can't say such things casually, but it's almost the same. You should know that this Miss Jiang is the elder sister of the magistrate's goddaughter, and she married into the Kong family. Do you know Kong's restaurant? It's his son."
"The Kong family? No wonder, their family is very rich. Of course, the Jiang family is also rich, no wonder there is so much dowry, I'm afraid they also gave a lot of betrothal gifts."
"You don't know anything. Miss Jiang is not getting married. She and the young master of the Kong family are in a double marriage."
"What? What is a double marriage? Tell me about it."
"She just doesn't want to marry. The Jiang family bought her a house in Qingdai Lane. I passed by and saw it the day before yesterday. There was a wedding character pasted on the door, and two big red lanterns were hung with "Jiang's House" written on them. It must be the Jiang family's house. I originally thought that the Kong family was willing to let their son marry into the family, but after some inquiries, I found out that they were having a double marriage."
"This is the first time I've heard of a double marriage. No wonder the Jiang family followed the sedan chair. I thought their family was rude. How could they accompany their daughter to her in-laws' house when she got married? It turns out they didn't marry their daughter at all."
"I'm so envious. Miss Jiang will have a good life in the future. The Jiang family will support her. How dare the young master of the Kong family bully her? If life becomes unbearable, just divorce. Tsk tsk, if my family treats me like this, how dare my mother-in-law bully me."
"Even if she really gets married, the Kong family boy won't bully her. The Kong family boy was completely bullied by her. Tsk tsk, you didn't see it. The eldest lady of the Jiang family glared at him and the Kong family boy didn't dare to say a word. I saw it clearly when they came to my teahouse."
"..."
The noisy sound of talking reached the carriage. Jiang Fubao lifted the curtain to take a look, then put it down again.
"Mother, there are so many people watching outside. There will never be another wedding in this town as grand as that of my eldest sister."
Jiang Fubao leaned proudly on Zhang Yanzi's shoulder.
"Yes, your eldest sister's marriage is a good one. Mingxue is a good match for her, much better than the previous one." Zhang Yanzi said in a low voice.
She even fantasized about the scene when her daughter got married.
