This day was the seventh day of in the morning, Hong Qingyi took Yan Funing to see several boxes of new clothes that had been prepared. Mother Tong opened the boxes one by one and said with a smile, "Second Miss, these are all prepared by Madam for you. You need to change into new clothes every day, and she prepared a lot of extra clothes in case you need to change into a few more sets someday." If you just imagine having new clothes for a month, it seems like a lot. Now I see with my own eyes that all the clothes, shoes and socks, inside and outside, are packed in several boxes. That's really a lot. The master and his two servants walked to the last box, and Hong Qingyi opened it personally. "These are various nightgowns." After saying this, she smiled mysteriously. Yan Funing was startled and looked in the direction her mother pointed, only to see pajamas of different colors in the box. After all, it’s pajamas, so it’s okay not to wear red. To her surprise, the material seemed quite thin, so she picked up one and took a look.
There are two thin straps on the shoulders and the back is almost hollow, which is similar to the modern suspender skirt. What’s worse is that the one I have is a thin and transparent style. Her little face turned red instantly and she hurriedly threw the clothes back into the box. "Mom, where did you get pajamas like this?" "Where else could it be from? Of course it was made by our own tailor." Hong Qingyi smiled, "The one just now was a little thin. There are styles for cold weather, which are thicker." As she spoke, she picked up one and showed it to her little daughter. It's a pair of thick pants. "This one is thick." Yan Funing took it in her hand and looked at it. It's okay to take a quick look, but when you lift up your trouser legs and take another look - The pants in front of me turned out to be a pair of open-crotch pants. "Mom, did you do something wrong? These are crotchless pants!" The soft and gentle voice suddenly rose, "The tailor at home actually made such a low-level mistake, he should be punished!" Not even as good as her tailor on East Third Street. Mother Tong smiled and said, "Second Miss, take a closer look. Is the sewing done?" Upon hearing this, Yan Funing went to take a look and saw that the seams at the crotch of the pants were indeed sewn. It can be seen that it is really a pair of open-crotch pants. Hong Qingyi saw that her youngest daughter didn't understand. I thought so too. After all, my youngest daughter and son-in-law had not yet consummated their marriage. They were just fake husband and wife before. How could they understand the ways of husband and wife? Then he leaned close to her ear and said earnestly, "My son, the capital is very cold in winter, and thick pajamas can keep you warm. As for the crotch opening, you will understand its beauty when you and Ci Yi become a real couple." "mother!"
Yan Funing finally understood, her face flushed, and her earlobes turned red as if dripping blood. Hong Qingyi smiled and covered her lips: "I have talked to your mother-in-law, and she will not urge you to have children in the future. The relationship between the young couple is the first priority. You should consolidate your relationship first, and then it will not be too late to talk about having children." "Mom, do you have any normal pajamas?" "Yes, of course there is. It's under the box." "It's good to have it." Yan Funing touched her hot face. Hong Qingyi ordered Mother Tong to cover all the boxes. Mother Tong walked to the door and raised her hand, and the maids waiting outside came with red silk flowers to tie up the boxes. "We have to prepare all the dowry today so we can carry it away tomorrow," said Hong Qingyi. "Your grandmother and your aunts' dowry has arrived. Your aunt's dowry arrived yesterday. We should put it in different categories today." After hearing this, Yan Funing realized that she was really going to get married. "Mom, I don't want to get married." "Silly child, you're going to be a bride tomorrow, why are you saying such things today?" Hong Qingyi naturally knew that her daughter was reluctant to leave her as a mother, so she gently stroked her little face. Yan Funing threw herself into her mother's arms. It feels so good to have a biological mother, but now, after only a few months of living with her, she is going to get married. Although I can come back often, my status is different now. Whenever I come back from now on, it will be considered as going back to my mother's home. What's more, her marriage with Fu Ciyi made her confused. She had no way of guessing or understanding someone's unpredictable personality or moodiness. Hong Qingyi patted her daughter on the back and said, "Dear, whether you are married or not, no matter how old you are, you are still your mother's child. Marriage is a union of two families. If you are wronged in your husband's family in the future, come back. Your parents are your backers. No matter what you want, your parents will always stand by you!" Yan Funing nodded: "Mom, I understand." There was a cry in his voice. Hong Qingyi's eyes were moistened, and she smiled and said, "Mother asked your second brother to take leave and come back in the afternoon. His handwriting is good, so ask him to write a good list of your dowry." "Yeah." Yan Funing nodded and came out of her mother's arms. "Have you decided which maids to take with you?" Hong Qingyi helped her daughter comb her hair. "Should the nanny and the old maid take a few with them?" "Take Caiyu with you. I'll take three other maids with me, but I won't take Nanny and the old maid with me." "Okay, if you want to take him, I'll let Mother Tong go." "No need, Mama Tong should just stay with me." On this day, everyone in the Duke's Mansion was busy. Although the big day is tomorrow, all the ingredients have been brought into the house today and the cooks and maids have begun preparing the dishes.
Not only that, the servants were also busy decorating the mansion. Liu Songhe came to the Duke's Mansion. When the couple arrived at the door, the doorman stopped them because he didn't know them. Liu Song said: "Please let this brother know that we are here to look for our daughter..." "You've come to the Duke's mansion looking for your daughter?" The doorman snorted, "Come on, come on, there will be a wedding tomorrow, and there will be many swindlers who want to get free food and drinks. You look well dressed, could it be that you are a swindler who is here to kidnap girls?" He patted her husband's back and said to the doorman, "We have strayed from the topic. We are here to look for Miss Yan Er and want to add some makeup." "It is true that my second young lady was just adopted this year. Why are you here looking for my daughter?" The gatekeeper refused to let the person into the mansion no matter what. Liu Chengwen happened to pass by and heard the noise at the door, so he walked over. "Mom and Dad, what are you doing here?" The concierge looked left at Liu Chengwen, then at the middle-aged couple who had just gotten off the carriage: "Father, mother, and son?" Liu Song nodded: "Yes, he is our son. My husband and I opened a restaurant with your second daughter on East Third Street." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The concierge laughed. "When you said you were looking for your daughter, I got a chill." Liu Chengwen helped his parents explain: "The Second Miss calls my parents uncle and aunt, and my parents call the Second Miss their daughter. Do you understand now?" "Understood." The doorman smiled and raised his hand to invite, "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, please come in quickly!" As soon as she was called Master and Madam, Liu Songhe's face was filled with smiles. The couple followed their son into Nanyuan. Upon hearing that they were coming, Hong Qingyi and Yan Funing went to the flower hall to meet them. "Hurry up and sit down." Hong Qingyi treated them warmly and ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks. Liu Song and his wife sat down, and He spoke: "Madam, it's like this. The second young lady is getting married tomorrow. My husband and I discussed it last night and thought it would be more appropriate to send a gift today. After all, the guests who come tomorrow are all distinguished guests, and my husband and I..." Then he took out a red envelope. "We couldn't decide on a gift, so after much thought, we decided to just give this one." (End of this chapter)
