Chapter 224: Judgment
Li Qian was indeed a little congested at this time.
He knew that Jiang Xian's dowry would definitely not be less.
But it's like this......
Li Qian looked at the dowry list carried in by the two little servants, and his forehead was sweaty.
Li Tai, the head of the Li family, was even more speechless, flipped through the roster casually, and couldn't help reciting: "Ji blue depicting gold entwined branches and flowers cloisonné enamel ice jian!" What is this?"
He asked Li Qian.
This thing is very rare, even the people in the palace, not all of them recognize it.
Liu Dongyue was afraid that Li Qian wouldn't know, so he hurriedly replied: "It's a ...... used to store fruit melon ice cubes in summer" After speaking, he saw that Li Tai still looked confused, thought about it, and said, "It's a cloisonné enamel cabinet, divided into two layers, inside and outside." Put ice on the outer floor, and the food in the cabinet will be cold for twelve hours, and it won't spoil ......"
Li Tai still didn't understand.
But he was too embarrassed to ask any more.
He nodded indiscriminately and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a cabinet for things!" ”
Liu Dongyue knew that he still didn't understand, but Li Tai was the head of the Li family, how could he give him some face, since Li Tai said that he understood, he would also treat him as if he understood, and no longer mentioned this matter, but changed the topic with a smile, and said to Li Qian: "Auntie, the Duchess of Zhenguo said that in the few days set by Qintian, she chose the eighth day of the fifth month and made a decision, and he left the cabinet on the 24th of May, do you think it's okay?"
Li Qian just wants to marry Jiang Xian as soon as possible, of course, the sooner the better.
He gladly agreed.
Liu Dongyue and Li Qian determined the matchmaker of both parties, and Li Qian asked Xie Yuanxi to send Liu Dongyue out.
Li Tai suddenly looked ashamed and said, "Uncle, I will make you embarrassed today......"
Li Qian waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile: "I don't know what it is." When the county lord enters the door, we will go and have a look together. ”
Li Tai felt that the heat on his face had dissipated a lot at once.
Li Qian talked about the matter of getting married: "Since Mrs. Fang has set a date, you should immediately send someone to report to my father." And then it's time to greet you, should the matchmaker come along? If the matchmaker comes with me, I'm afraid that I will have to leave at this time, Lord Jin is busy with affairs, and it is impossible to stay in Datong for a long time, what should I do when the time comes, I have to ask my father to discuss with Lord Jin and Master Li in person. Quanfu people, I heard that it was Lord Li's wife who was invited, and Mrs. Li is also urging someone to invite her......"
The matchmakers invited by the Jiang family were Qi Sheng and Zhao Xi, the prefect of Datong.
The matchmakers invited by the Li family were Jin Haitao, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, and Li Kui, the prefect of Taiyuan.
Jin Haitao, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, also jokingly asked Li Changqing if he wanted to write the congratulatory message in advance: "I'm not like Lord Li who is a literati, so I will come when I open my mouth."
According to the courtesy, the matchmakers of both families should be present when greeting.
But Jiang Xian was married from Datong, and it took four or five days to walk on the road, which was too long, and the more elaborate ones would invite Quanfu people to come over to help greet their relatives, and the matchmaker would meet them at the city gate. The casual Quanfu people greet them at the city gate, and the matchmaker just greets them at the gate.
Li Qian didn't want Jiang Xian to suffer a little grievance, and the implication was to let him find a way to let the matchmaker come to Datong to marry the bride with the wedding team.
Li Tai understood and discussed the details with Li Qian.
Binghe came in and said, "Uncle, Sixth Master Sun is here." ”
Li Tai couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "What is he doing here?"
At the beginning, Sun Shiding and Li Changqing ranked sixth when they were married, and the people of the Li family called Sun Shiding the sixth master. When Li Qian went to visit Sun's house, Sun Shiding did not mention the personnel that the Li family put in his place at the beginning, Li Qian knew that the two families were not the same, and he was not reluctant, so he politely refused the Sun family's banquet and went home.
Now Sun Shiding has come to the door......
Li Qian smiled: "Maybe I heard some news!" He is now a typical businessman, and he can't afford to make a profit! ”
"Then don't see you!" Li Taidao, a trace of ruthlessness flashed between his eyebrows.
Li Qianwaner.
Don't look at Li Tai's thin and clean, before he took refuge in Li Changqing, he was a pig killer, so his temper was not very good, but it was just right to receive those reckless people who came and went with the Li family.
"That's not necessary!" Li Qian smiled unshyly, "There is no Sun Shiding, there are also Chen Shiding and Wu Shiding." Just know who he is. Don't be angry. Such people are not worth it. ”
Binghe interjected disdainfully when he heard the tone: "He said that he was doing business in Hunyuan, and he heard that the uncle was going to get married, so he rushed over to congratulate the uncle." ”
Li Tai sneered.
Li Qian said to Li Tai with a normal face: "He is the neighbor next door who came to congratulate him, and I will also invite him to a cup of tea." You don't have to worry, I know it! Then he instructed Binghe: "Invite him to serve tea in the flower hall, and don't neglect the guests." ”
Li Tai didn't say anything anymore, bowed down, and retreated to arrange for someone to send a letter to Taiyuan.
Binghe puffed out his cheeks and walked out of the hall.
Li Qian went to the flower hall to see Sun Shiding.
Sun Shiding is burly, with a fat head and big ears, and a pair of small eyes that are sharp and sharp, shrewd and exposed. Before he became king, he was a straw mat seller. Now that he wears silk and satin, he doesn't look like a squire.
He saw Li Qian smiling like a Maitreya Buddha: "World nephew! Congratulations! You are much better than your father and uncle, your father finally married your mother, and I finally married your aunt, but you married a county lord. Terrible! Terrible! Uncle Shi really admires! ”
Li Qian's maternal grandfather was a talented man, and Sun Shiding's father-in-law was a landowner.
"Uncle Shi has won the award!" Li Qian smiled modestly, "It's just luck that I won the favor of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother helped make this iceman." ”
This is Li Qian's statement to the outside world, even Li Changqing's side, and he also concealed it.
Although Li Changqing was confused, he didn't see Li Qian, so he could only bury those confusions in his heart.
Sun Shiding was not suspicious.
According to him, the county lord of Jianan has a prominent status, and if it were not for the Empress Dowager Cao, it would be impossible to marry Li Qian.
He made a big move, and the little guy with him hurriedly handed over a few gift lists.
"Nephew, Uncle Shi came in a hurry and prepared some small gifts for the county lord." Sun Jiading smiled so kindly, "I also asked my nephew to help transfer it to the county lord." On the day you get married, Uncle Shi will definitely take you Brother Liuyan and your aunt, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces to drink your wedding wine. ”
After marrying Jiang Xian, Li Qian also expected these changes in the social field, and he said to Sun Shiding with a smile: "I can't meet before I get married to the county lord, things are complicated, and this gift list is not easy to get married." I think you might as well send it directly to the Datong General Military Mansion, and now the county lord has settled in the Datong General Military Mansion. ”
Sun Shiding gave Li Qian a look at the face, and when he came, he was ready to be low, so he didn't feel disappointed or resentful, but said with guilt on his face: "Nephew, do you still remember that Uncle Shi gave you a look a few days ago." Speaking of which, Uncle Shi is also uncontrollable. Don't you know, since your father left, those officials came every three days and five days, either to entertain them with good wine and meat, or to say that they were unlucky today and lost money, and my life gradually became a little unbearable. The money that your father left in my hands at the beginning was also spent by me. Nephew, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Uncle Shi is really, really shy in his pocket, and can't take out that money......"
