Chapter 191: The Anger of the Second Prince
Princess Zhenbei officially went to the British government to make an appointment, and the dowry was rich, not ten lifts, not one hundred, but a full eight hundred and eighty-eight. If it weren't for the fact that the number of nine hundred and ninety-nine was the number of the supreme and needed to be avoided, I believe that the dowry of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion would definitely be more than just these eight hundred and eighty-eight.
Eight hundred and eighty-eight dowries, pearls from the South China Sea, ice lotus from the snow-capped mountains, jade gems, antique calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin...... What you can think of, what you can't think of, everything you can't think of, everything you want.
On the day of the next appointment, all the way passed, the front of the people arrived at the British Mansion, and the back did not even enter the Xuanwu Alley, and lined up for ten miles, becoming a long snake.
Such a beautiful show, even the well-informed people of Kyoto, are also unseen, unheard of, don't know, but Kyoto, which has been a great country for hundreds of years, has really never heard of such a grand occasion.
This kind of dowry is of course extremely rich, but in Kyoto, the top group of people in the entire Daxing gathered, dominated the movements of the entire dynasty, and the center of government and wealth, and there were definitely more than one or two people who could get it. However, so far, there is only one person who dares to put this score in this way.
is not a family as powerful as Zhenbei Wangfu, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people, in this place in the capital, if you dare to put this score like this, you can only say that your brain is probably in water.
A person who accidentally obstructed the eyes of a powerful person, waited for that person's family, beat a few sticks, and ended up in prison, and it was light to learn a lesson. If it is a little stricter, even if it is not a broken family, the end will not be much better, at least in the capital, there is no way to accommodate it.
The next dowry is just that, but it seems that such a pomp is not enough to be beautiful, the emperor also spoke, on the day of the wedding, he and the queen will go to the Zhenbei Mansion to preside over the wedding for Li Mo and the eldest grandson Piaoxue, and order the civil and military officials to go to the Zhenbei Mansion to congratulate.
Such treatment is the wedding of the prince and even the prince, and it is nothing more than that.
With such a view, the upcoming wedding is the biggest event that everyone in Kyoto pays attention to.
The children are looking forward to that day of rich candy and snacks.
The girls are looking forward to seeing Li Mo, the son who has become the most popular in the capital, and they are all dressed up with all their hearts.
I don't dare to ask for it, I am the same as Hongqi, I am favored by such a man, and I don't dare to ask for it, and I am as lucky as the eldest grandson Piaoxue, and I took advantage of my childhood sweetheart, and was able to marry such a good man with excellent family background, appearance, and ability.
He is iron-clad, and he can make the ferocious barbarians bow their heads in front of him, and he is not afraid of the black prince of Dayan, a powerful country in the north, and retreats; He was tender, for the sake of a beloved woman, he did not hesitate to seek the holy decree, and he did not hesitate to face the accusations of the Manchu Dynasty and everyone in the world, and he refused to let go.
Such a good man who is arrogant and looks down on the world, even if he takes a second look, it's good.
And the beggars, too, washed and washed their best clothes, and cleaned their hair, nails, toes, and nooks and crannies. If you don't dress up decently, let alone say it's a good banquet for a hundred family banquets, I'm afraid that it will be intercepted by the officers and soldiers just across several streets.
This wedding banquet is attended even by the emperor, can he let his old man see the hardship of the people under his rule?
Not only the people talked about it, but all the people in Kyoto who were on the stage were not able to live in peace.
Not to mention that the Zhenbei Wangfu was originally the top handful in the elite circle in Kyoto, no one dared to despise it, but now that even the emperor has spoken, it is natural to be attentive and attentive.
Do you have to be a little thicker when you have prepared a congratulatory gift? Lords and ladies thought.
The emperor and empress are here, and several princes should also come, right? The ladies thought.
Li Mo already has the master, there is no drama, but several princes are not married yet, and now that the crown prince is hanging, the value of several princes has soared greatly, if you can be fascinated by one, it is undoubtedly excellent.
Do you have to keep a low profile, or just don't go? The sons thought. Although the princes make the ladies yearn, the princesses are not so popular.
Although Daxing does not have a rule that the princess is not allowed to be an official, but which mother-in-law is willing to marry a daughter-in-law, not only can she not be asked to make rules, but also be a bodhisattva, and she can't be asked to suffer a little grievance, and if she doesn't do well, she will be called by the queen mother and queen in the palace to talk to her heart?
Especially today, although there are several emperors and princes, the princess is just such a one, and she is really afraid of melting in her mouth, and she is spoiled as if she is afraid of falling off in the palm of her hand-
Who can afford to serve such a precious princess?
And the sons are also worried, after marrying such a wife, will they still be able to have concubines to have sex at that time? Can you still sing poems with the prostitutes in the Qinglou from time to time?
Now, Princess Huarong is also at the age of marriage, maybe the emperor will take this opportunity to take her out for a break, and when the time comes, she will accidentally look at her, and the freedom of this life will be gone.
I really had to go, and I also rushed my subordinates to hurry up to prepare for that day's outfit, not to dress up as handsome as the ladies, of course, I can't pretend to be ugly, I have done too much, so that the emperor and queen are not happy, and there is no good fruit to eat.
Therefore, recently, low-key luxury clothes with connotation have become a new fashion for Kyoto nobles.
The entire capital seems to be suffering from a disease called Li Mo's Wedding Hou Qun Syndrome.
As the woman of this grand wedding, the British Mansion, this disease is naturally a little worse than others, almost to the fever of Cheng DΓΉ, an endless stream of relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, and the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, so that the British princess Sun Tomorrow will be full of red light, and the smile on his face has not disappeared from his mouth, and the corners of his mouth are open, even if he is dreaming, he will suddenly wake up with a smile.
The British Duchess Wu has never raised her eyebrows.
It's not easy for her all these years.
Although her mother's family is an imperial merchant and runs a medicinal herb business, she doesn't know how many branches Huichun Hall has opened, and she is rich in the world. If she marries an ordinary person, with her net worth, she is not in her mother-in-law's house, and she is majestic?
But no matter how much it is an imperial businessman, a businessman is a businessman, once married with a hereditary nobleman like the British Duke, even if she marries in, British justice is in decline, at that time, the British Duke and the Zhenbei Wangfu have not been involved, and the mansion has fallen so bad that even the house can not be repaired, except for a few master courtyards are barely visible, and even the courtyard where the young lady lives is dilapidated reads;.
Wu married in with a large net worth, and the British government no longer had to worry about money, but Rao was like this, the father-in-law and mother-in-law who had not passed away at that time, and the sister-in-law who had not yet married, always looked at her with the eyes of a city man looking at a countryman, and was critical of her words and deeds.
Serving her parents-in-law carefully, waiting for her husband, flattering her sister-in-law, I don't know how to come over for decades, and I have never straightened my waist.
Now, her daughter has finally become the princess of Zhenbei, and the future princess of Zhenbei will be a real person from now on.
Wu held the hand of the eldest grandson Piaoxue, full of emotion.
"Cher, it's all right now! It's all good! β
As he spoke, Wu's eyes were full of water and pervasive.
Although the son is filial, he follows his father, his qualifications are very mediocre, and he can't be counted on, but fortunately he has a daughter like her. In the body of the eldest grandson Piaoxue, the Wu family did not know how much effort it took to ask the best teacher to teach, and now, he finally lived up to her hard work, and the eldest grandson Piaoxue married better than her mother.
The Wu family and the British government will be even more brilliant because of her.
The eldest grandson Piaoxue wiped the corners of Wu's eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, why is my mother crying?" Haven't you been looking forward to this day? Now, it's finally done, and my mother should rest assured. In the future, no one will look down on my mother and brother. β
Having said that, there were tears in the eyes of the eldest grandson Piaoxue.
How long has my mother waited for this day, why shouldn't she?
Since she was a child, her mother told her that she was born in order to become the wife of the prince of Zhenbei Wangfu and the wife of Li Mo...... Free time? What is that? She never knew.
Everyone praised her as talented and virtuous, and she was the most suitable lady to marry home.
But do they know that she once played her fingers bloodied in order to practice the piano; In order to learn to be a good female celebrity, she stayed up all night, and slept less than two hours in one night; In order to learn to ride a horse, she once fell off the horse and lay in bed for half a year......
Comforting the Wu family, the eldest grandson Piaoxue's own tears could not be controlled.
In the end, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, which were tears of relief and tears of joy.
A few families are happy and a few are worried, they are enthusiastic about it, and they are actively preparing, hoping to make friends with the Zhenbei Wangfu and show their faces in front of the emperor, of course, some people don't think so, and even feel that it is extremely eye-catching.
The Second Prince's Mansion
"It's too much! It's too much! β
"That town North Wangfu is really too arrogant."
"The father and the queen mother gave them this face, that was the kindness and generosity of the father and the queen mother, and they didn't care, but this Zhenbei Wangfu, as well as Li Mo, was too ignorant. A son is just getting married, and the pomp is so big, what do they want to do? Do you still have the heavenly family in your eyes? β
The second prince slapped the table heavily, his face full of anger.
The four kings with different surnames, for the Daxing royal family, have always been like four sharp blades hanging over their heads, like the Runan Palace, under their noses, they can still make people feel a little more at ease. Like Dongping Wangfu and Xichuan Wangfu, although they are not obedient, they are still low-key, but this Li Mo of Zhenbei Wangfu is too arrogant.
Since he returned to Kyoto, the entire style of Kyoto has been robbed by himself.
Even these princes can't plunder them and be bleak for them. is no longer the first choice of many young ladies in Kyoto, but has become the second choice after Li Mo, and a peerless beauty like Hong Qi has not been pocketed by the royal family, but has become Li Mo's ban.
Especially after the last conversation in the palace study, the second prince's disgust towards Li Mo soared greatly, and this time the publicity of the wedding in the Zhenbei Wangfu made this disgust rise to the highest point.
After all, the eldest grandson Piaoxue is a very optimistic candidate for the second princess. The second prince is also very interested in the eldest grandson Piaoxue. Although this matter has not been officially mentioned to the British government, the second prince still has a feeling of being covered by green clouds, humiliated and angry to the extreme.
