Chapter 3 First Lady
The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion ordered someone to carry boxes of financial gifts into Zhou Jinghua's Ronghua Garden, and congratulated him, "Congratulations to the eldest lady, congratulations to the eldest lady! Just now, the eldest prince of Ruoao ordered someone to bring a dowry of 500, and the adults are also ready to use the dowry of 500 to leave all the dowry and dowry to the eldest lady, so as to help the eldest lady become the mistress of the Ruoao family!"
"What?"
Zhou Jinghua, who was dressing up, walked out of the boudoir when she heard this, looked at the financial gifts in the yard, piled up, and asked in disbelief. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
How important money was in her father's eyes.
She wouldn't be unaware.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have ventured to steal the book that night and come out to blackmail his father.
But how could Ao Yuejiao, a cold-blooded and ruthless man, be so generous?
Even if Cheng Jia marries her, she will not use five hundred dowry, which is far beyond the specifications of the daughter of Mihuang to marry.
It will definitely cause a sensation in the state of Chu and even the various vassal states.
Until this time, Zhou Jinghua was a little indifferent, and couldn't help but think of what Yue Jiao said in her ear that day, "Don't be afraid of me, just be my woman obediently, and I will give you everything that a woman in this world wants." ”
But the color on the horse suddenly turned white.
Is she going to marry the famous Ruo Ao Yuejiao all over the country?
Xiao Jiang wiped his eyes with a handkerchief in disbelief, and blinked again, but the dowry was still being moved in boxes and boxes, and there was even no place to put it, and boxes were stacked up one by one.
She had never seen such gold and silver in her life.
"Butler, I'm not dazzled, or dreaming, am I?"
"How can this be fake?"
The housekeeper pointed to the boxes of financial gifts in the yard and chuckled, "In addition to these, all the people in your yard have also packed up and prepared, and they will all marry with the eldest lady tomorrow, and serve the young lady and the aunt well, do you know?"
"Yes, Butler!"
Steward Zhou was personally responsible for supervising the dowry and dowry, and the next day, the Zhou Mansion was unusually busy, all kinds of land deeds, land deeds, shops, gold and silver, and flowing water were generally sent to Zhou Jinghua's yard, locked into mahogany boxes, and guarded by special personnel.
Zhou Mu walked into Ronghua Garden, looking at the Zhou Clan's wealth fortress that he had spent half his life trying to build, and changing his surname little by little in front of his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly gloomy, and Zhou Jinghua, who was also silent, frowned and said, "The honor and wealth of your life are all here." Remember, you must grasp the heart of the eldest prince and become the help of my Zhou family, so that the five hundred dowries that your father gave you, you know?!"
It's not just five hundred, but it's a thousand.
If you count the countless house deeds, title deeds, land deeds, slave deeds, granaries...... The actual number is far more than what appears on the surface.
According to what he discussed with Yue Jiao, he would use Yue Jiao's hands to launder all the unknown family wealth he had earned over the years, as a dowry gift from Ruo Ao Yue Jiao to Zhou Jinghua, and then transfer it to Ruo Ao's family, even if Ao Ziyan checked it out afterwards, no one doubted it.
It can't be said that they are greedy for these?
This is also his last life talisman.
Otherwise, if he dies, he will pull out the two brothers and bury them with him.
But these Zhou Jinghua didn't know, she only knew that these riches were all built on her happiness and pain, and her eyes were slightly red when she heard this, but she still didn't say anything, and now she also knows that even if she dies, she must marry into the Ruo Ao clan.
Because of Zhou Mu's thousand-carrying gifts, the Ruo Ao Fu clan is destined to set off an unprecedented grand occasion in the Chu State tomorrow.
Zhou-style marrying a daughter, marrying his eldest daughter, if the Ao family marries, and the eldest man of the long house marries, the marriage of the two top magnates naturally attaches great importance to it, and even Ling Yin Ziban will not say anything about it.
This marriage, whether it is pomp or financial gifts from both parties, is not inferior to the Mihuang wedding two months ago.
The wedding banquet on this day was held in an unprecedented grand, from noon to evening, the whole Ruoao Mansion was shrouded in a piece of wine and meat aroma, staggered, very lively.
At dusk, Ruo Ao's welcoming procession, blowing and blowing, the momentum around most of the Yingdu, the sedan chair entered on time.
Yue Jiao wore the groom's wedding dress, the tall and burly figure sat on the sweat and blood treasure of the whole body of jujube red, for the first time it looked magnificent, the guests stood up to watch the ceremony, looked at a big red wedding dress, the graceful bride walked in with him, sat in the middle, worked and ate together, and joined the ceremony.
All the rituals were carried out in an orderly manner, not to mention the changes in the middle of the process, and there was not even the slightest discordant vignette.
Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked down at the beautiful woman sitting obediently opposite, dressed in a luxurious red wedding dress, hooked her lips and smiled with satisfaction, "Today, you are very well-behaved, I hope you can be so well-behaved for a lifetime!"
Zhou Jinghua felt the fiery gaze above her head through the red veil, and her eyes drooped.
Pretending not to see, not to hear, not to speak, but his eyes searched for the figure of the person through the red veil.
I wonder if he will regret it when he sees himself getting married today?
But there was no sign of him as far as the eye could see.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance in my heart.
At the end of the ceremony, the bride sent Zhou Jinghua, who was reluctantly searching in the crowd, back to the wedding room, and if Ao Yuejiao entered the table and began to entertain today's guests, because of his massive and bold, he drank three rounds and won everyone's applause, "The eldest son, today is really a happy event and the spirit is refreshing!"
"Haha...... Come on, if we don't drink the eldest prince today, we won't be allowed to go back. ”
The atmosphere at the banquet was unprecedentedly lively, and everyone kept pouring wine to him.
In the women's banquet, the nobles of the whole city who were invited to the table looked at the graceful and luxurious embroidered phoenix wedding dress and the majestic Ruoao Yuejiao.
They stopped the chopsticks in their hands, but their mouths didn't stop.
Cheng Qingqing ate the hibiscus cake in disbelief and said, "When did the Zhou family be so willing to marry a daughter?"
Naturally, envy, jealousy and hatred are indispensable in the eyes of other noble girls.
"This dowry has already exceeded the specifications of the royal family's dowry, a woman can be like this, there is nothing more beautiful than this in her life!"
"I'm really envious ......"
"You didn't see the expressions of the whole Yingdu up and down today, and the dowry that was about to circle the city. ”
"It's like having an egg in your mouth, the Zhou family is really rich......
"I didn't expect that Lord Ruo Ao Duwei, who looked fierce, was not inferior to Brother Ziyan at all. Some of the nobles looked at Ruo Ao Yuejiao with eyes that changed, even if Ruo Ao Yuejiao was far away, he could receive a few noble women's eyebrows from time to time, and he couldn't help laughing even more, attracting everyone's applause.
"She was going to marry my brother. ”
Cheng Qingqing looked at the expressions of the women, these people are nothing more than looking at money and power, rich and powerful, no matter how ugly they are, they are beautiful, pouting, "But we can't look down on their Zhou family when we become a family, and no matter how much money we spend to sell women, we just can't look down on them." ”
"Alas, although it is good for you to start a family, but you must know that after Brother Ziyan becomes a concubine, this Ruo Ao's Ling Yin will definitely be replaced, and now it seems that the eldest prince has the highest voice. ”
The meaning of the women is self-evident.
Now if Ao Yuejiao marries Zhou Jinghua again, then this will make Yin's position even more ambitious.
Although they are only young ladies in the boudoir, they are in a high-ranking family, and they have a political vision.
Cheng Qingqing didn't care.
As long as you don't marry her brother, you can marry anyone.
"But why didn't your second brother come today?" someone asked.
"My second brother hasn't been home for three days, and he's been looking into disaster relief cases. Cheng Qingqing shook her head.
She didn't know what he was busy with in the East Palace, and besides, he lived in the East Palace as a man, even if he had a good relationship with Brother Ziyan, he still felt weird, she always felt that his brother was going to become Brother Ziyan's second?
Cheng Qingqing shook her head, that was terrible.
Mi Huang is now a princess.
If Ziyan's brother and his brother are both colts.
One daughter and two husbands?
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became, Cheng Qingqing shook her head desperately, trying her best to get this idea out of her mind. was ridiculed by the women, "Qingqing, this stupid look, I don't know who can marry her in ......the future?"
The women laughed for a while, and the topic gradually opened.
*************
In the wedding room, Xiao Jiang listened to all kinds of lively and envious voices outside, and said happily, "Miss, in fact, it's good to marry Ruo Ao's eldest son, you see how much the eldest prince values you, compared to Cheng Gongzi, this courtesy and respect are worth it." And...... And miss, you're all the eldest son's person, so don't think about it anymore......"
The last sentence was said by Xiao Jiang cautiously looking at Zhou Jinghua, who was sitting on the big red bed and silent, and whispered in her ear.
She is really afraid that her young lady will marry her, and she will have to do some more things.
Then she can't eat and walk around.
This is not the Zhou family!
Zhou Jinghua, who was wearing a red veil on her head, heard this, and kept twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand with both hands, but she was silent.
Since hearing so many dowries and dowries yesterday, Zhou Jinghua has never spoken much.
It's as if there's something on your mind.
Xiao Jiang continued to work hard to spread the words of the outside families to her ears, "And miss, you don't know, when I went out to get something just now, I heard those sour words from Miss Cheng in the backyard, and the eyes of other young ladies looking at their uncle, I can't wait to be like a wolf......"
"Maybe Cheng Gongzi is now repentant. If he marries a young lady, the five hundred dowry will be their family. ”
The bride who was guarding on the side quietly looked at the eldest lady of the Zhou family who had not spoken much in the room, and approached and said flattering words, "Miss Zhou, say something bold, everyone is saying outside, now you are the first lady of my Ruo Ao family." ”
"This dowry and dowry alone can't even match the princess and the ladies of our four rooms. ”
"You can rest assured to follow our eldest son, you will enjoy endless honor in this life, and everyone can only kneel on the ground and look up to you from afar!"
The other maids in the wedding room also nodded.
The face is all one person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven with honor and full of expectation.
For a time, all the women's voices of admiration, envy, compliments and even jealousy ......
One after another passed into the ears of Zhou Jinghua, who was wearing a veil.
Under the red veil, she was always happy, sometimes wanting to laugh, sometimes holding back.
I can only say that I am unwilling.
Can't marry the person you want to marry.
