Chapter 173

Dingguo Gong's divorce of his wife caused a stir in the capital, to say that this Dingguo Gong did really amazing, not only did he abandon his wife who had been running the housework for decades, and re-established a concubine in her twenties as his wife, but also replaced the prince Xie Yuan, and re-applied for the establishment of the new lady's five-year-old child as the son, but the book has been pressed on the emperor's desk, and was not approved immediately, Dingguo Gong himself was weak-hearted, and he did not dare to take the initiative to ask, and the matter was so delayed.

Finally ushered in the day of Yan Zhaoning's marriage, Tan Xiaozhi rode a high-headed horse to greet his relatives, Yan Xiu was not very welcome, Tan Xiaozhi did not mind, Wu Zi practiced the ceremony, and then ate some wedding banquets according to the rules, he took the bride out of the house, the bride went out of the house, the dowry followed out of the house, looking around, it was all royal gifts, although the battle was not big, but it also earned enough eyeballs, but after the Tan family saw the dowry sent by Yan Zhaoning, the face was not quite right, first of all, Geng's family, when Tan Xiaozhi welcomed the bride into the door, After saluting, Geng Shi found an opportunity and went to the treasury, outside the warehouse, the people of the Tan family and Yan Zhaoning's companion were checking the dowry catalog and things, and then entered the treasury.

Seeing Geng's coming, Zhang Quan, the housekeeper of the mighty Houfu, ran over to salute, Geng's looked at the few dowries outside the warehouse, although each one was pasted with the royal word, but the number was too small, Geng's expectation of few things and fine, took the dowry catalog in Zhang Quan's hand, a thin two-page paper, and finished reading it at once, although there were two valuable things, but this specification was too low, Geng remembered that there was a county order that won the emperor's grace, and the daughter gave a lot more wedding gifts than this, but Geng's heart was suspicious, a little annoyance is fermenting at a rapid speed, but it can't be revealed too much on the surface, otherwise it will make people look too ugly.

But what Geng can't deny is that the little Jiujiu he fought at the beginning is actually related to Yan Zhaoning's dowry. Although she has been with all the girls in the capital, there are only a few girls who are really suitable, with high status, thick family background, and docile temperament, they can't look down on their family, and they have failed after a few attempts, that is, now they have married their daughter-in-law Yan Zhaoning, Geng's was also dissatisfied at first, and then thought that since she is also a girl of the Yan family, there are still things left by the Xie family, and she will not be worse than her sister Yan Zhaohua, not to mention that after the matchmaking of the concubine in the Dingguo Mansion, Tan Cheng also successfully caught up with the Dingguo Gong, so, Although Yan Zhaoning's child is not virtuous, Geng's thought of the benefits that marrying her can bring, and Geng's reluctantly agreed, but now looking at this depressed dowry, Geng's heart feels uneasy, and now he can only hope that the Yan family is guarding against them and putting all the good things in Yan Zhaoning's own private treasury, it seems that people still have to go and explore.

After saying a few words to the companion room of the Yan family, Geng left quietly, and after returning to the courtyard, he immediately recruited his henchmen to come over to tell the matter, and always felt that the attitude of the Yan family was wrong, no matter what, Yan Zhaoning was the third lady of the Yan family, but it didn't matter if she didn't show up, Yan Xiu didn't send anyone to help, only two little girls from the second and third rooms of the Yan family came with them to be the girls who gave the marriage, and the two didn't even interact with Yan Zhaoning.

Geng's heart was uncertain, and she finally waited until the day's wedding banquet was over and the newcomer entered the cave room, so she had the opportunity to talk about it with her husband in the room:

"I always feel that this family affair is a loss."

Geng said to the mighty Hou Tan Cheng.

Tan Cheng drank a little too much, and didn't listen much to his wife's words, so he replied casually: "What's not a loss, don't think too much, go to sleep." ”

Geng couldn't be calm: "Don't sleep, I'll talk to you, I always feel that the Yan family is an empty shell at all, do you know how much Yan Zhaoning's dowry is?" I looked at the dowry list, it was so thin that I couldn't believe it, all of them were rewards in that form, and the specific amount added up, I don't think it was as much as his daughter in Longzhi County. ”

Hearing Geng's words, Tan Cheng also had to be a little sober, sat up, rubbed his face, and asked in a daze, "What about the Yan family?" How much did the Yan family give? ”

Geng shook his head: "No, there will be something out of the Yan family." At first, I thought that the Yan family was guarding us, and all the things were placed in Yan Zhaoning's place, but who knew that I asked my mother-in-law to look through it secretly, where was there anything, only a small box was locked, and it was estimated that her mother left a dowry, but how many things could be contained in that small box? So I suspect that we have deceived that Gong family at all, in fact, Yan Zhaoning has no dowry at all. ”

Geng's family will never forget how the Gong family fooled her at the beginning, saying that Yan Zhaoning has Xie's dowry by her side, and she is the third lady of Changning Houfu, Yan Xiu has always favored the third lady, when she got married, it must be ten miles of red makeup, and the scenery is infinite, at that time, Geng also specially sent someone to inquire, it is true that Yan Xiu is still good to Yan Zhaoning, and any good things are close to her first, and Yan Zhaohua seems to be behind her. That's why the Geng family believed Gong's words, even if they knew that Yan Zhaoning had done such a ridiculous thing, but she didn't think that she was with others, so she turned a blind eye and didn't care, just thinking that she could get a large dowry from the Yan family to subsidize the Tan family.

Over the years, the mighty Houfu has been unable to make ends meet, and if you don't think about how to make money, maybe the livelihood of the entire Houfu will be unsustainable, so at this moment, the Geng family is still very concerned about the dowry of his daughter-in-law.

Tan Cheng sniffed, exhaled, and said:

"Although I can't fully believe that Gong's words, I can't believe them all, didn't she return to her hometown? When she comes back from the countryside, you go and say hello again, I think Dingguo Gong is still very good to her, whatever she says, Ding Guogong can still listen to it, don't we know her relationship, let Ding Guogong cooperate with us to do a few big deals? As for the Yan family, Yan Xiu is an old stubborn, he is angry with the ugly things that our son and his daughter did, and there are some who can't think about it for a while, but in the end, it is a broken bone and tendon, and it will not really treat his own child badly, you can relax for the time being, and then take a look, but there is one case, you have to take care of the money in Yan Zhaoning's hand, and I don't think that child is a fuel-efficient lamp, you have to let your son keep an eye on it. ”

Tan Cheng told Geng like this, and Geng nodded in agreement: "I don't need you to say this, I know, that girl is really not simple, such a character, if it weren't for her identity is not bad, and she can help her son, I wouldn't agree." ”

Although he had a relationship with his son, Geng just felt that Yan Zhaoning was a woman who did not abide by women's morals, so it was easy to have an affair with a man, which showed that his own character was not good. In such a situation, if it is not supervised, I don't know what she will do in the future. Geng decided to give Yan Zhaoning a dismissal tomorrow morning, so that she would know how to be a daughter-in-law in the Tan family.

After Yan Zhaoning entered the cave room, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Tan Xiaozhi to come and lift the hijab, but Tan Xiaozhi felt uncomfortable because he drank wine, so he went to take a shower and change his clothes first, and waited until he was done with himself, and then came over to remove the hijab to Yan Zhaoning, Yan Zhaoning originally thought that he would put on a smiling face, but he didn't expect that as soon as the hijab was lifted, Tan Xiaozhi climbed into the inner bed, lifted the quilt and fell asleep.

Yan Zhaoning was also angry when he saw him like this, but thinking that today was the first day of marriage, he didn't bother with him, let the maid serve and freshen up, and only returned to the happy bed after finishing, Yan Zhaoning lay down for a while, Tan Xiaozhi reluctantly reached out to untie her clothes......

The next morning, Yan Zhaoning woke up from his sleep with a sore back, feeling that he hadn't slept for a while, Tan Xiaozhi was too enthusiastic last night, and kept pestering her, remembering the heat of last night, Yan Zhaoning lowered his head shyly, the maid had been called in by Tan Xiaozhi to serve and change clothes, Yan Zhaoning found out that the maids who changed clothes for Tan Xiaozhi were all beautiful maids in their twenties, all of them were affectionate, and Yan Zhaoning's heart was poured with a burst of cold water. Where can a woman who has just married stand so many warblers and warblers around her husband, and she spoke out from the tent:

"You all go out, I'll dress my son myself."

The maid at the head glanced at Tan Xiaozhi, only to see Tan Xiaozhi stretch out his hand and pinch her face to show comfort, and then compared the door, the maid took everyone out, and only the couple were left in the room, Tan Xiaozhi turned to Yan Zhaoning, who was still in the tent, and said:

"If you want to dress me, why don't you get up? What time is this, my father and mother are still waiting for you to give them tea. ”

Yan Zhaoning heard this, and her hands and feet also sped up, and she got up from the bed, but she herself had to rely on people to serve her every day when she dressed, and now she was alone, in a hurry, and finally put it on, Tan Xiaozhi was already impatient to wait, holding her chest with both hands, and looking at her with a slightly gloomy face, Yan Zhaoning endured his temper, and didn't want to have an argument with him when he was about to go to the tea ceremony, and there was a fluster, and he also dressed up neatly for Tan Xiaozhi, and then the couple walked out of the room.

Tan Xiaozhi walked in front, Yan Zhaoning followed behind, Tan Xiaozhi's steps were a little big, Yan Zhaoning seemed to be injured last night, he couldn't walk fast, he almost endured trotting all the way and followed Tan Xiaozhi into the flower hall, the hall was already full of uncles and relatives, Yan Zhaoning was a little nervous, under the leadership of the maid, Yan Zhaoning entered the inner room, and gave tea to Geng's and Tan Cheng, and there were five or six other middle-aged women in the inner room, which should be the aunts and sisters-in-law of the other rooms of the Tan family. Yan Zhaoning breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, as long as he toasted these few cups of tea in the inner room, it was enough, and he didn't have to face so many people outside. It seems that the Tan family is quite considerate. There was a burst of satisfaction in my heart.

Yan Zhaoning saluted the tea in a proper manner, accepted the red given by his aunt, sister-in-law and Geng's family, and after thanking them one by one, he stayed in the inner room to talk to them, Tan Cheng and Tan Xiaozhi went to the outside to greet the guests, and a woman in a gorgeous curly dress called Yan Zhaoning to him, and said to Yan Zhaoning in a low voice that was enough for all the women in the inner room to hear:

"Is the daughter-in-law of filial piety not happy in her body, how can her chastity not fall red?"
