Chapter 212 Congratulations to Shopkeeper Chen and his young wife on their happy marriage!
Shen Ruyi took her mother to Ruyi Clothing Shop. The business of Ruyi Clothing Shop was very good today because the shopkeeper Chen from the capital was about to remarry a new wife.
There are many wealthy merchants in the city, and those who have dealings with Chen Guangji will probably bring their families to attend the wedding, so the business of Ruyi Clothing Shop is surprisingly good!
Chen Guangji would often go to the capital city on weekdays, because his eldest son owned two dental practices in the capital city, and he would always help out with the arrangements, and all his connections in the capital city were there.
But in recent years, he has been managing the shop in Shunjing Prefecture himself. To be honest, he plans to spend his retirement here. The competition here is not very fierce and the work is not too busy, so he decided to keep the shop here!
Unexpectedly, he met his young wife here. Chen Guangji's family is very busy. The day after tomorrow is the wedding day, so how can he not be busy.
Shen Ruyi brought Shen to choose dresses. The mother and daughter chose dresses made of the same material. Shen is now a pregnant woman.
Shen Ruyi specially helped to design and modify her mother's skirt. Shen looked so cute in it and instantly had a girlish look!
It happened that Wei Zhendong came over, and when he saw his beautiful little wife, he was completely stunned!
It doesn't matter that Wei Zhendong came, he also brought Wei Dazhuang with him. When Wei Dazhuang came, he said with a playful smile: "Hey Ruyi, Shopkeeper Chen is getting married, how can your uncle Wei Chuang and I not go?
The robes we both wore have become worn out recently. Can you give both of us a new set of robes so we can go to Manager Chen's wedding?
We are about the same age as Chen Guangji. What if we go there and look like old men and lose your people? "
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Uncle Dazhuang, you two are not that old, so don't talk about that anymore. I'll go choose robes for you two. You two will look very handsome..."
Shen Ruyi was really afraid that her uncle Dazhuang would let the cat out of the bag to Chen Guangji. She wanted Chen Guangji to tell his wife in person how old he was!
In fact, Shen Ruyi also knew that even if Madam Cao knew that Chen Guangji was 42 years old this year, she probably wouldn't care, because it was indeed rare for a single woman with a daughter to find a man like Chen Guangji who was wealthy and a good person. What did it matter if the man was old?
Wei Zhendong, Wei Chuang and Wei Dazhuang each chose a new robe and looked at the mirror happily.
Everyone went back happily. Shen Ruyi suggested that everyone go to Zhangji Restaurant, have lunch and then go home!
Because the crown prince Qin Jinan left, there was no imperial chef to cook. After getting used to the delicacies from the mountains and seas prepared by the imperial chef, how could the food prepared by my own chef be as delicious as that prepared by other people? So I decided to go to a restaurant!
On the second floor of Zhangji Restaurant, Wei Zhendong, as usual, was serving his young wife meals and also taking care of his little girl while she was eating. Wei Chuang and Wei Dazhuang, who were sitting next to him, were simply unable to bear to watch. It seemed that the Duke of his family was really possessed by a little maid!
Wei Chuang and Wei Dazhuang were eating their meal while sitting there listening to people talking at a table next to them.
"It is estimated that the common people will have a hard time this year. When you go home, save your money and buy more food to take home.
This year, there is drought everywhere. It has not rained since the spring planting season. This is going to be a bad year!"
Another man frowned and said, "Yes! I have a relative in the south who said that the rice that was supposed to grow in water has now dried up.
I don’t think I’ll be able to pay taxes next year. If I can’t pay taxes, where will I get rice to eat?”
Wei Dazhuang and Wei Chuang frowned at the same time. No one knew what they were thinking about, and their expressions looked bad.
When they were walking back after dinner, Shen and Shen Ruyi walked in front. The mother and daughter would also stroll around the shops on the street and occasionally buy some small items.
Wei Zhendong, Wei Chuang and Wei Dazhuang, three old men, followed behind and helped the mother and daughter carry things. Shen Ruyi bought jade hair crowns for her two uncles and some cakes. The group of five slowly returned to the government office.
After returning to the backyard, the mother and daughter began to prepare for lunch break, and Wei Zhendong started chatting with Wei Chuang and Wei Dazhuang in the yard.
They all talked about this year's drought. Wei Zhendong looked at the sun in the sky and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's really not a good thing that the heavens don't rain! The crops are suffering from drought now, and the harvest this year will not be good..."
Shen Ruyi heard it as soon as she came out of her mother's room. She looked up at the big sun in the sky. Hmm! It was really cloudless and it didn't look like it was going to rain.
June is almost here, and if it doesn’t rain, the crops will really dry up.
Shen Ruyi sighed. Was she going to encounter a severe drought?
She had heard that in ancient times, when the years were bad, there would be only one or two rains a year, and the people would starve to death and eat dirt. Could she be about to experience that?
I have space and spiritual springs, but I can't save all living beings! Even if I work myself to death, I probably can't irrigate the crops of all the people in the country!
Shen Ruyi was also a little anxious about the drought, but there was nothing she could do. There was no artificial rainfall in this era, and her own power was too limited.
She planned to manage the crops at Fulu Villa well after returning to the capital, so as not to let the crops die. At least she would have no problem feeding her family and the people in Wei's army!
There is some food in her space, which can last at least a year!
May 26th is an auspicious day, truly an auspicious day that only comes once in a century!
In the morning, Ruyi Clothing Shop posted a big red paper: Today the owner has a big celebration! The shop will be closed for one day!
There was a big red silk tied outside the back gate of Ruyi Clothing Workshop. The embroiderers and Uncle Dafu's family were all very happy, waiting for the groom to come and pick up the bride!
One morning, Shen and Wei Zhendong and their little girl came to the wedding. The three of them were in the main hall in the backyard, with Wei Zhendong and Princess Fulu sitting in the middle, waiting for Chen Guangji to come and pick up the bride and child.
The auspicious time arrived, and Chen Guangji came to pick up the bride in a bright red wedding dress. The one who led the errands was Chen Guangji's good nephew Chen Qi!
Chen Qi, wearing a red silk belt today, has become the busiest person. His smiling face is stiff as he leads the team in front!
Chen Qi was really happy from the bottom of his heart, because as long as his father got married again, had a wife and children, he would no longer be lonely, and he and his second brother would not have to worry about their father all the time.
Chen Guangji is a competent father. He has not remarried for many years and has been working diligently to earn money for his two sons.
Now both of my sons have started their own families and have a happy home as well as a good fortune. What else can I be unhappy about?
Now that the sons have become parents themselves, their only concern is that their father is getting older and has no one to accompany him.
The large wedding procession arrived at the backyard. Chen Qipai distributed a bunch of red envelopes and took the groom into the yard and came to the main hall. The groom Chen Guangji lifted his robe and knelt on one knee to pay his respects to Duke Wei Zhendong and Lady Shen of Fulu County!
"Chen Guangji thanks the Duke and the County Lady for acting as a matchmaker for Chen Guangji and betrothing Madam Cao to Chen Guangji. I am grateful for the Duke and the County Lady's great kindness!"
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "Hahaha! Congratulations to Shopkeeper Chen and his young wife on their happy marriage!"
Shen was so angry that she laughed. She glanced at her husband unhappily and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen congratulates you. Don't listen to the Duke's teasing. He is happy for you!"
Chen Guangji laughed: "The Duke is a jokester. Today is such a good day, the Duke is deliberately making fun of me!
But Chen is indeed older than Madam Cao, and what the Duke said is right, Chen is marrying above his station, Madam Cao!"
Wei Zhendong: "Hahaha! Okay, Shopkeeper Chen and I are optimistic about you and think you are a good person, so we promised Madam Cao to you!
Okay, after picking up Madam Cao and her daughter, let’s go back and worship heaven and earth. Later, my husband will bring his wife and daughter to your house for the wedding banquet.
There must be enough tables for the lunch banquet! Several of the Duke's subordinates, as well as the new prefect Ma, will also bring their subordinates to your house with the Duke to drink your wedding wine! "
Chen Guangji and his eldest son Chen Qi both blushed with excitement. Chen Guangji said: "Chen Guangji respectfully welcomes the Duke and the Princess to the Chen family!
Chen Qi, go back and make arrangements later. Clear out the front yard of the main courtyard to prepare for hosting the Duke's family, the prefect and others!"
Chen Qi smiled and said, "Uncle! Please come and see us! The Duke and the Princess will come and the Chen family will be ready to welcome you!"
Both Wei Zhendong and Shen were very happy. Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Uncle Guangji, go pick up your new daughter-in-law. Come over to greet my father and mother later, and then go back to church..."
Chen Guangji grinned excitedly: "Okay!"
