After going to the mansion to deliver makeup, Zhao Wangshu returned home and went to paint.

She is not good at figure painting. Compared with landscapes, flowers and birds, figure painting is more difficult.

Character painting not only requires more fine brushstrokes and richer expressions, but also conveys the inner emotions and thoughts of the characters.

What Zhao Wangshu painted was a picture of Yun Hao riding a horse, stroke by stroke, and described in detail.

In the next few days, apart from going to Dr. Shen’s house, she was painting Yun Hao.

On the sixth day of October, Zhao Yin went to He’s house early in the morning to be He Chuan’s best man.

The next day, he was urged to get married by his family again. Zhao Yin blushed and said: "I have a girl I like. When I get promoted, I will trouble my grandmother to help me propose marriage."

Upon hearing this, the family members were all excited. "What's the girl's name?" Zhao Cui asked eagerly.

“Which family is the girl from?” Zhao Li also asked curiously. She was full of curiosity about this future granddaughter-in-law.

"You will wait until you are promoted to propose marriage. How long will it take?" Zhao Cheng said angrily, with a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety in his tone.

"I'll be promoted in a few days." Zhao Yin said with a smile.

"Brother, you want to be promoted, you are so awesome!" Zhao Wangshu said happily.

Zhao Yinman was very careful and had only been an official for half a year. He was soon promoted, which shows his ability.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family were not very interested in his promotion and asked which family the girl was from.

"She is the daughter of Princess Duan Changcheng. Her surname is Song and her name is Yuanqu. She knows Yue'er." Zhao Yin said.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard that she was the daughter of Princess Duan, they smiled slightly. Mrs. Zhao Cui asked anxiously: "If I go to propose marriage, will I be kicked out?"

The family backgrounds of the two families are very different.

Zhao Yin smiled and comforted: "Grandma, if you go to propose marriage, you will not be kicked out. The eldest princess is a sensible person, and Yuan Qu is also a good girl. "

"Well, well, I'm finally going to have a granddaughter-in-law." Mrs. Zhao Cui beamed. She was really worried that Zhao Yin would die alone.

In order to make it more dignified for Princess Chang’s family to propose marriage, Mrs. Zhao Cui and Mrs. Zhao Li went back to Zhuangzi to look through their dowries.

Zhao Wangshu was also dragged back. The reason for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was: "You go back and pick out the one you like and I will give it to you as a dowry."

"Don't be so anxious, right? "Zhao Wangshu suspected that they were planning to get her and her eldest brother married within a year.

　"Prepare your brother's betrothal gift and your dowry as soon as possible, so you can have a good morning." Zhao Cui said.

Zhao Wangshu had no choice but to follow them back to Zhuangzi. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had quite a lot of dowry. There were boxes and baskets, all of which were good things.

"These jewelry were the dowry when we got married. Now they are used as dowry for you, and they are also regarded as family heirlooms." Mrs. Zhao Cui took out each brocade box from the cage.

Both Cui and Li are from a century-old family, and their ancestors are quite wealthy to this day. Although the Zhao Cui family and the Zhao Li family are not the direct branch of the lineage, they are also the direct branch lineage. .

When I got married, I had a lot of red makeup.

In this house, the warehouse is bigger and stronger than the house.

Zhao Wangshu casually picked up a brocade box and opened it. There was a golden walking stick inside. The complex pattern was inlaid with a huge ruby, which was brilliant, and six golden-winged butterflies hung from the tassels. .

“I like this step shake.”

Mrs. Zhao Cui took one look at it and said with a smile: “Yue’er’s vision is very good. This golden step shake is still good. When my grandmother got married, Empress Xiaoci rewarded her with it."

Zhao Wangshu also saw the palace inscription on the hairpin handle, "This is a betrothal gift."

"This step is a big step. If you like it, of course it will be a dowry." Mrs. Zhao Cui looked at her granddaughter with a smile, "Take it to the Accord and let them blow it up. It will look better."

"Thank you, grandma." Zhao Wangshu said no more decline.

Ms. Zhao Li opened a brocade box, which contained a crown inlaid with silver wire and pearls. "You can wear it when you come home this month."

The corners of Zhao Wangshu's mouth twitched, and she still She is not married yet, so her mother is thinking about her returning home. God, if she finds good materials, her mother will not say that this material is suitable for making clothes for her children, right?

The words came true, Zhao Li turned over a piece of fine cotton cloth, "This fabric is soft, I can use it to make diapers for my children in the future."

Zhao Wangshu looked at the sky speechlessly, Zhao Li said Mrs. Cui gave her another brocade box, which contained a pair of pearl bracelets. The pearls were round and plump, with a shining luster.

"Yue'er, do you still remember this pearl bracelet?" Zhao Cui asked.

“This is the birthday gift you gave me from my grandma when I was ten years old.”

“Twist these hands and make a necklace.”< br />
"Okay." Zhao Wangshu received another dowry, "Grandma, it's time to pick out the betrothal gift."

"If you marry richly, the girl's dowry must be ten miles. Red makeup." Mrs. Zhao Cui continued to help her granddaughter choose the dowry.

By the time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had chosen the dowry for Zhao Wangshu, it was already noon.The woman came over and invited them out for lunch.

After dinner, I went to the warehouse to continue rummaging for things.

After picking out the betrothal gift, Zhao Wangshu said: "Grandma, Grandma, I went to play with Shuhui and the others."

"Go." Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled. road.

Zhao Wangshu met Zhao Yingniang and Zhao Xiuniang on the way, "Sister Shu, are you coming back to add makeup to sister Hui?"

"Sister Hui is getting married?" Zhao Wangshu asked in surprise. Zhao Shuhui was more than a month younger than her. She was born on the second day of October, and she hadn't even gotten haircut yet.

"It's a good day at the age of sixteen." Zhao Xiuniang replied.

"Lvzhi, go back and ask grandma to get a piece to add makeup." Zhao Wangshu ordered.

When Lu Zhi turned around and walked back, Zhao Wangshu asked: "Which family is Sister Hui talking about?"

"Guo Tiesheng, the blacksmith from the next village. " Zhao Xiuniang said.

"He is an honest man, and there is only one blind old lady in his family." Zhao Yingniang added.

The three of them walked forward slowly while chatting. When they passed Zhao Shuqing's house, they saw Zhao Shen sending a matchmaker out.

"Is Uncle Shen going to marry again?" Zhao Wangshu asked softly.

"Sister Shu, sister Qing really accepted a princess as a foster mother?" Zhao Xiuniang asked.

"Really, she was also named the Princess of Spring Juan County by His Majesty."

"She has climbed to a high branch, no wonder she doesn't care about Uncle Shen." Zhao Xiuniang said with a smile.

The only daughter accepted someone else as her adoptive mother and refused to accept him as a country teacher. Zhao Shen was still young and had no daughter to worry about, so remarrying was inevitable.

"Sister Shu, are sister Fang getting married too?" Zhao Yingniang asked.

"The good day of twelve."

"What about you, Sister Shu, when will you get married?" Zhao Xiuniang asked with concern.

"I have to wait until I get my hair done." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

At this time, Luzhi came with a small brocade box.

They then quickened their pace and went to Zhao Shuhui's house. Zhao Shuhui was a little surprised when she saw Zhao Wangshu, "Sister Shu, why are you here?"

"You are getting married. I don’t even ask anyone to bring me the letter. If I hadn’t happened to return to Zhuangzi, I would have missed it.” Zhao Wangshu thrust the small brocade box to her, “To add makeup.”

A pair of long palms in the brocade box The silver is Ruyi, which can be used to press the bottom of the box, or it can be melted for emergency relief in times of difficulty.

Zhao YingWhat my mother gave me was a pair of silver bracelets, shaped like thin wickers.

What Zhao Xiuniang gave was a round-headed silver hairpin.
