Zhao Mo didn't know what King Liao was thinking at this time, he was a little surprised to welcome a visitor who he hadn't expected beforehand.

Yao took Qin Jian to the Suning County Palace, which was only one street away from the Chengenhou Mansion. Qin Jian was just accompanying the guest, and after saying hello, he quickly withdrew and went to Zhao Mo's study to read a book. He comes here once in a while on weekdays and is very familiar with the place. The Yao family was the guest of honor who came to the door today, but Zhao Mo couldn't think of anything she would do if she looked for herself.

It wasn't until Yao opened his mouth that Zhao Mo understood what the reason was.

Yao solemnly said to him: "Cousin Wang asked me to come and thank the king of Xiaojun. Although she didn't know why the little county king wanted to help her, she remembered this kindness in her heart. She is now waiting to be married at home, and it is inconvenient for her to come and thank the king of Xiaojun in person, but she knows something about the Liao Wangfu. She is willing to promise the king of Xiaojun that when she marries into the palace of the king of Liao, as long as she is within her ability, she will definitely try her best to dissuade her husband from embarrassing Ling Zun and the king of Xiaojun. She will not help her husband seek the position of the prince of Liao. It's just that if the holy decree is like this, she will not let her husband refuse. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Auntie, I don't know how my cousin heard about it...... Am I involved in this?"

Yao smiled: "After the marriage was granted by the holy decree, the cousin of the Wang family was fortunate to enter the palace to meet the princess Niangniang, and she learned from the concubine that this marriage was the suggestion of the crown princess of the East Palace. And that happened to be after the little king went to the East Palace. Besides......" she smiled again, "The Wang family still has some connections, and it is not difficult to find out some news." ”

Zhao Mo didn't care: "I can't bear to see the second uncle embarrassed, so I intend to fulfill their lovers." In fact, I'm just a messenger, and the ones who really helped Cousin Ling were the princess and the crown princess. I don't dare take credit. He looked at Yao, "I didn't expect my aunt to have a relationship with Cousin Ling." ”

Yao was a little embarrassed: "I am much older than her, I almost watched her be born, she also came to our house to play when she was a child, and I often went back to my grandfather's house...... Although I have a grudge against the royal family, but she was still a child back then, what can those things have to do with her? She has always treated me kindly. Now that she is in Beijing, there are few relatives and friends who can speak, and she has come to look for me, how can I turn people away from thousands of miles away?"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "It is not only a long-term kinship, but also no long-standing grudges, so it is indeed necessary to have more contacts." I heard that Mrs. Wang is still in her hometown, and I don't know if I can catch up with my cousin's wedding. ”

Yao's sighed, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his words: "The date of marriage is set in a hurry, the elders of the Wang family are all in their hometown, and they can't go to the capital for a while, so they can only come forward by the fourth cousin." However, her cousin will be married in a house in Beijing, and her family will come to Beijing to meet her next spring, and then go to Liaodong to marry. Her grandparents and grandparents were not in good health and would probably not be able to make the trip, but her parents and brothers would try to get there. ”

Lord Wang now does not dare to mention the matter of going to Beijing, and Uncle Wang's family was defeated in the infighting of the Wang family, eager to fight for a little breathing space under the suppression of the victors. Zhao Mo could guess a little about this, and he didn't ask much. As long as the Wang family can be honest, he is not interested in listening to what they want to do.

Yao carefully took out a delicate small box from his wide sleeves and pushed it in front of Zhao Mo: "This...... It was a little bit of the cousin of the Wang family, and she thanked the little county king for her kindness. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face: "Aunt?"

Yao couldn't help but smile and said: "Seriously, I was also a little surprised, but it was not easy for her, Baba'er begged me to be a messenger for her, how could I refuse? The little king just accepted it, but ...... in the future Don't mention it in front of the people in the Liao Palace, it's not that she went to ask the princess to promote this family business. ”

The eldest granddaughter of the Wang family is a shrewd person. After suffering a lot of losses, and experiencing the failure of her first marriage and family infighting, she has become more savvy. She knew that she didn't have much bargaining chips in her hands, although she hooked Zhao Li with her personal charm and successfully made him fall for her, but how long could a man like Zhao Li be loyal to her? Not to mention that he had always been determined to win the position of the prince of Liao.

In terms of marriage, Zhao Li is willing to obey his mother's arrangement, as long as Chen Liangdi can help him, he doesn't even care about the tablet of marrying Xiao Chen's family, or an orphan daughter of the Chen family with a mediocre family, which shows how much he cares about the position of the son of the world. Even if he puts aside his original plan for her now, he will still regret it when he finds out that he can't be the prince of Liao. Men are like this, once they get it, they don't cherish it anymore. The eldest granddaughter of the Wang family is bent on marrying into the Liao Wangfu and enjoying a lifetime of glory and wealth, so she naturally doesn't want to become an abandoned woman after a short period of scenery.

She fished Zhao Li and used the princess to pull the banner as a tiger skin, so as to increase her weight, but at the same time, she would not say a clear promise, and she would not leave a handle for herself. She has no way to ask to see the princess, and she can't deliver a letter to the palace, unless the princess takes the initiative to send someone to contact her, otherwise even if she wants to ask the princess for help, she has to marry Zhao Li first, and with the identity of the clan wife, she can enter the palace before she can say anything else. But she won't tell Zhao Li the truth, she will only act as if she can contact Wang Concubine at any time. Zhao Li didn't know that she had no confidence, and she was successfully bewitched. And the emperor summoned the King of Liao and recognized this family business, which confirmed her ability in disguise. In addition to the dissatisfaction of the step-concubine of the King of Liao, the father and son of the King of Liao all looked up to her because of this.

But the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family herself knows that none of this is true. She didn't mention this to the princess, it was the concubine who sent someone to find her, and she knew that the news had spread to the palace. She begged the princess, and the princess was willing to work with the crown princess to promote this marriage, but from the beginning, this was not within her power, and she was just a pawn at the mercy of the palace. If Concubine Wang doesn't take action, she will always have to work Zhao Li. If the Liao Wangfu never knew this truth, it would be fine, if she did, after she married into the door, how would her mother-in-law, Liao Wang Jifei, who was already dissatisfied with her, treat her? I am afraid that even her father-in-law, Liao Wang and her husband Zhao Li, who have now accepted her, will change their attitudes.

No matter how outsiders spread the gossip, she had to maintain a false impression, as if she was really influential to the princess, and the princess had a lot of face in front of the emperor, which allowed her to gain a firm foothold in the Liao Palace. Since he heard that this marriage was facilitated by Zhao Mo behind his back, the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family would know whose mouth to seal.

That little heart is actually hush money.

Zhao Mo opened the small box and found that there was a thick stack of silver tickets inside, all of which were from the most famous and largest silver number in the capital, and the amount of each piece was one thousand taels, brand new. So thick a stack, I'm afraid there are dozens of them?

Yao lowered his voice and said: "A total of 30,000 taels of silver tickets, bearer, any branch of the silver number can be cashed out at any time." The cousin of the Wang family knows that the little county king is not short of silver, so this is just a little heart, and he just asks the little county king to raise his noble hand......"

Zhao Mo glanced at her: "Auntie, is my cousin's net worth so rich?" Did he find a rich wife for Zhao Li? Wouldn't that be cheaper?

Yao said: "The cousin of the Wang family's mother is from the Jinzhong family, and her mother's family is originally rich, and this silver is actually nothing to her. ”

When Uncle Wang married a wife, it was when Master Wang made his fortune, and the standard for marrying a wife was relatively high. Grandma Wang was born in the Jinzhong family, the family was a giant businessman, her father was admitted to the Jinshi, all the way to the career went smoothly, entered the dynasty as a high-ranking official, became the first person in the family, backed by the family's wealth, as if illustrious for a while. In fact, when Zhao Jie, the son of the King of Jin, would marry the third aunt and grandmother of the Wang family as his wife, the Wang family was able to start dreaming of the future descendants, which was more or less the blessing of the good relationship between Grandma Wang's maiden family and the Jin Palace.

Grandma Wang's beautiful marriage brought a large amount of money to dowry, and the dowry on the surface alone is said to be 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention the private money that has not been revealed. There is also a shrewd and capable shopkeeper in her room, who makes money and earns more for her for more than 20 years. The Wang family was not short of money, and she didn't need to use the dowry to supplement the family, she collected it all and made a private house, and she had a lot of savings. When her eldest daughter married into the Zhang family, she gave a lot of dowries, but she didn't have a silver ticket of 30,000 taels. This is what she has prepared for herself to be used by her grandson in the future.

It's just that Grandma Wang's father died of illness, and her mother's family did not have a second high-ranking official to support the scene, and the momentum was not as good as before. The eldest granddaughter of the Wang family reconciled with the Zhang family, the Wang family was defeated and had to return to their ancestral hometown, and then the long house was defeated again in this year's family infighting, and was at a disadvantage, and the situation of Uncle Wang's family became very bad. The Wang family has never been separated, and Grandma Wang has a large amount of property in her hands, which is not a secret in the family, she has no strength, and she has financial resources, and sooner or later she will be swallowed up. If you are unlucky, you may not even be able to save the lives of your family.

Grandma Wang didn't know if she could keep these properties, and she didn't want to cheapen the people in other houses, so she sent her sons early and took his wife and children out in the name of study tours and family visits, taking away some of the floating wealth and manpower. The fields and shops can't be taken away, so they can only be cheapened. If the daughter of Heli Dagui can marry into the Liao Palace, it can be regarded as keeping the property of the dowry in disguise, and she is expected to feed her parents and brothers in the future, and maybe she can also take advantage of the Liao Wangfu to protect the property of the long house. Therefore, Grandma Wang also divided a large amount of property and handed it over to her daughter, and for the time being, it cannot be said that this is the latter's dowry, but only the family property in the name of the dowry. The silver ticket that the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family brought to seal Zhao Mozui was part of it, but it was actually less than one-fifth of the property in her hand.

Although Zhao Mo had heard that Grandma Wang's mother's family was not small, he didn't know that she had such a large amount of wealth in her hands, so after thinking about it, he decided to accept this heart. He smiled at Yao and said, "Mother Uncle opened her mouth to me, how could I not agree? I just hope that after marriage, my cousin can be harmonious, love husband and wife, and live a quiet life in Liaodong with peace of mind." The second uncle was too young in the past, and it was inevitable that he would act impetuously. If he can live a down-to-earth life, his father, as the eldest brother, will be very happy when he hears about it. ”

Yao replied carefully: "Of course. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and put the small box into his sleeve: "Then it couldn't be better." ”
