As Mrs. Gong said, Shang Zhi planned to ask someone to sew a wedding dress.

This is what a woman who is about to marry should do, but she can’t do needlework and can only ask someone to do it.

But Mrs. Gong helped her embroider the wedding dress.

Mrs. Gong did what she thought of. Mrs. Gong also took care of what she couldn't imagine.

How lucky she was to meet her godmother who loved her so much!

Shang Zhi was pushed into the room by Mrs. Gong, spread the wedding dress, and asked Shang Zhi to take off the jacket and dress and change it.

Shang Zhi took off his jacket and skirt as Mrs. Gong told her, wearing a bottom coat inside, and spread her arms. Mrs. Gong put on the wedding dress for Shang Zhi.

Shang Zhi looked at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror, tailored, very fit, very dignified and festive.

The wedding dress is embroidered with the picture of the two swallows and peonies, which represents the hope that the newcomer can live an ordinary, harmonious and sweet little life. Mrs. Gong embroidered these sincere blessings on the clothes one by one, and Shang Zhi could feel her beautiful blessings and expectations.

"Godmother, it fits very well. You remember my size in your heart. How can you not wear it?" Shang Zhi looked at the meticulous stitches of the wedding dress. The embroidery work was very delicate, and the swallows appeared vividly. When she turned sideways, the peony on the dress seemed to bloom with petals.

Mrs. Gong pulled her sleeves, looked at her clothes carefully up and down, left and right, and it was tightly fit, and it was very fit. Looking at Shang Zhi's bright and beautiful appearance, she nodded with satisfaction, "I knew you must look good in your clothes."

Shang Zhi's cheeks were slightly red. When she wore the wedding dress, she felt that she was about to get married. She was very nervous, shy, and had a hint of expectation.

"Godmother, you have spent a lot of time on this wedding dress, which makes you worry." Shang Zhi hugged Mrs. Gong and put his chin on her shoulder.

After Shang Zhi got engaged, Mrs. Gong started preparing the wedding dress. It was expected that Shang Zhi would get married at this time and chose thin materials.

"It's no problem. I'm used to needlework and threading, so it won't take much time." Mrs. Gong took off Shang Zhi's wedding dress. "I'll discuss with your father. On May 26, you will go to our house and get married from Gong's house."

"Shao." Shang Zhi nodded.

Mrs. Gong unfolded her wedding dress and hung it in the closet. She turned around and looked at Shang Zhi quietly looking at her, with a smile on her face. She knew that Shang Zhi had met her relatives in Beijing and recognized her relatives, and was willing to get close to her. Mrs. Gong was happy from the bottom of her heart, so she was worried that Shang Zhi would be alienated from her.

"Are they good to you?" Mrs. Gong was worried about her when she heard about her thrillingness in the capital.

Shang Zhi was about to return to his hometown to get married, but Mrs. Gong was surprised because Shang Zhi met her relatives.

"Good to me." Shang Zhi couldn't tell the feeling of getting along with Qin.

"It's good. In the world, no parent will take the initiative to give up her children." Mrs. Gong was very pleased, and she didn't ask the reason.

Shang Zhi nodded, "I know."

Mrs. Gong didn't know what was going on, so she didn't mention the matter there and said this to unravel Shang Zhi's heart.

Holding the booklet bound by red paper, he pulled Shangzhi to sit down and discussing which guests to entertain.

Shang Zhi didn't know many people, except for the people in the village, they were all relatives and friends with Xue Shenzhi. After all, there were only a dozen tables.

"It's enough to hold fifteen tables of tables." Shang Zhi planned to invite the chef from Tongfu Restaurant.

Mrs. Gong thought a little deeper, and she pondered: "Zhizhi, you and Shenzhi are different from the past. I am worried that there are not enough fifteen tables. In this way, add ten more tables. After all these dishes are prepared, they will be cleaned up. When the guests come, they will calculate how many dishes to make. If the extra dishes are given, please invite them to have more meals. This is the biggest joy in life. We would rather have more than prepare enough."

Xue Shenzhi is now the top scorer, and many wealthy gentry will come to curry favor with him.

Shang Zhi is now famous, and many clinics cooperate with her, and the shopkeepers of the pharmacy shop will come uninvited.

Shang Zhi was stunned, not confused, "Godmother, look at the arrangement."

Mrs. Gong made notes and discussed some details with Shang Zhi. It was already noon.

Chang Le prepared the lunch. At the dinner table, Xue Shenzhi said: "I will go to Gong Mansion with Zhizhi tomorrow to receive a bid." After I was supposed to be hired, I decided to make a wedding date. They were worried that they would not have enough time, so they changed the order.

"Okay." Mrs. Gong gave the list to Xue Shenzhi and asked if he had anyone else to invite.

Xue Shenzhi pondered for a while and added Wen Quxing, Wang Chunfang, Li Mingli and his teacher Qiu Lingyuan.

Next, we will make invitations and divide them.

Xue Shenzhi is going to be hired tomorrow. He is back from the exam and plans to go up the mountain to meet Xue Dingyun.

When he met Chen Yaozong on the way, he told Xue Shenzhi, "After you took the exam, your father went down the mountain to live in Xu's house."

"Thank you." After Xue Shenzhi thanked him, he turned to the old house.

Xu was in the room, holding hundreds of taels of silver notes in his hand, shocking the news he had heard.

Xue Shenzhi is the grandson of the county lord and the son of the county lord?

Is he the top scorer who can pass the exam because his maternal ancestor is the prince?

"You do your business as I told you, and you will give you twice the amount of silver bills. You are not good to Xue Shenzhi. He is now the top scorer and will become an official in the future. You have no children and no one to support you. Can you force him to support you? Do you want to pretend to be crazy and stupid for the rest of your life? Let him support you? You have the money in your hands, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? And the prince knows that you abuse Xue Shenzhi, and they will let you go?" The man in black was wrapped in a big cloak, covering his head and covering his face.

Xu's hand holding the silver bill shook, she was desperate. Xue Ning'an was dead and Xue Dingyun was disabled. She did not pretend to be stupid and wanted Xue Shenzhi's sympathy, and was worried that no one would support her in her later years.

But she didn't expect that Xue Shenzhi was so big. If she had known it, she would have treated Xue Shenzhi well, not plotting, and torture him. Ning An would not die tragically. Maybe the prince would be grateful to her for raising Xue Shenzhi and promote their family.

Xue Shenzhi is a person who values ​​kindness, and he will definitely respect her!

Xu regrets it!

My intestines are so regretful that I have lost my heart!

But the retreat has been cut off. Xue Shenzhi should be grateful if he doesn't cause trouble for her. How dare he ask Xue Shenzhi to treat her kindly? If she goes to cry and make trouble, Xue Shenzhi is the top scholar and will be the official immediately and will arrest her.

Xu clamped the silver notes in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stuffed them into his sleeve, "I promise you!"

After doing this, she ran away and went to another place to survive. She picked up a child to raise her and gave her a care for her.

Just a few hundred taels of silver in your hand is enough!

Knock!

When the door panel was knocked, Xu felt panicked and quickly pushed the person to the back door, "You leave through the back door."

The man in black hurriedly left.

Xu inserted his hands into his head, messing his head, rubbed a little ashes on the stove pot, rubbed them randomly on his face, and dirty his clothes, and then he went to open the door.

"Ning'an, you're back!" Xu shouted in surprise, touching Shang Zhi's face with both hands, tears streaming down his eyes, "Mom misses you so much that her heart is about to break. Why are you so cruel that you won't come to see her for half a year after you leave! Mom is sorry for you, marrying you a bad wife, which will make you live a restless life..."

Xue Shenzhi avoided Xu's hand and pursed his thin lips.

Xu hurriedly took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, "Ning'an, don't be afraid, my mother has money, I'll marry you a virtuous wife again."

Xue Shenzhi looked at the silver handed to him, then looked at Xu's eyes with tears in his eyes, avoided her, and went directly to the room. He pushed open the door and saw Xue Dingyun lying on the bed, thin as a handful of bones, and fell into a drowsiness.

"Ning'an, Ning'an... Are you still angry with your mother? Mom was wrong..." Xu ran in panic and saw Xue Dingyun on the bed, "Your father missed you so much that he fell ill. Ning'an, don't be cruel to give up his parents. Parents have only one son. What should you do if you leave?"

Xue Shenzhi said in a light tone: "When did Dad get sick?"

Xu seemed to not understand Xue Shenzhi's words and said to himself: "Your father is about to die. You are his only son and will send him off to the end! Yes, you want to send him off to the end! It's great, Ning An will not leave anymore, it's great!"

Xu ran into the kitchen, "Ning'an, are you hungry? Mom cooks for you, you like to eat pot stickers made by Mom the most."

Xue Shenzhi watched Xu quickly leave the house and stand by the bed. Xue Dingyun's breathing was weak and his condition was very serious.

He sat quietly for a while, but Xue Dingyun never woke up and got up and left.

Xu stood in the kitchen, watching Xue Shenzhi leaving, and hurried to the back door. The man was gone. She let out a long sigh. When she passed by Xue Dingyun's room, she saw him dying from illness and spitting. If this dead ghost had not picked up the person, how could she have died of the son she had born?

So, don't blame her, she just wants to protect her old age.

——

After Xue Shenzhi returned, he told Shang Zhi about Xue Dingyun's condition.

"He is too ill, and I'm afraid he's not going to have too long. After using the meal, go and show him."

Shang Zhi nodded, and after using supper, he went to the old house.

Xu seemed to wake up, knelt in the yard and cried, burning paper money into the basin, "Ning'an, my mother failed to live a good life for you, it's useless for me. If you are there, I will burn more paper money for you, and you will have plenty of money."

Shang Zhi went straight into the house and took the vein to Xue Dingyun.

"How about it?"

Shang Zhi shook his head and said, "The oil is gone and the lamp is gone."

Xue Shenzhi pursed the corners of his lips. Perhaps Xue Dingyun knew that there was not much time, so he gave Lin Xinyi the cradle to Lin Xinyi and asked Lin Xinyi to take it to the capital. He was afraid that if he couldn't take it out, he would not have the chance to take it out.

Shang Zhi said: "I will prescribe a few medicines for him, and I will last for a few months."

Xue Dingyun's organs began to fail, and it was not possible for drugs to save them.

Xue Shenzhi nodded and guarded Xue Dingyun until midnight. He woke up. The father and son said a few words before Xue Shenzhi left.

On the second day, Xue Shenzhi asked someone to carry the prepared betrothal gift to Gong's house. Not many of them were handled according to the rules.

It caused jokes from others, and the top scholar has such a shabby betrothal gift.

Shang Zhi didn't care. She was busy organizing the wedding and urged Xue Shenzhi to build the bin as soon as possible.

Xue Shenzhi had already developed a large wheel, which was the sink part. He spent more than half a month with Chen Si to build the barrel.

Shang Zhi saw the built trolley and said excitedly: "It's this!" Then he pointed to the place connecting the sink and told Xue Shenzhi how to install the sink. She outlined the sink.

Xue Shenzhi stared at the drawings for a while and said to Chen Si: "Tomorrow we will go to the riverside, first install the bin, and then install the sink."

Chen Si stared at the drawing for a while and smiled, "This sink is also designed with exquisite design. If you make a mistake, the water will not be able to be drawn into the field."

Xue Shen nodded and let out a sigh. He was worried that He Jinrong would look at the drawings before, but now he saw this sink and his heart was half settled.

After a few days, the barrel and sink were all installed, but the water draw effect was not as good as Shangzhi expected, with only a very small flow of water.
