Chapter 390: Private Room
Broken Garden.
Du Chuan had been waiting at home for a whole day, and because of his identity, it was impossible for him to appear in the ranks of today's courtship.
Even if Ouyang Kang didn't care and Nianfu didn't care, it was impossible to ask the world to care about his relationship with Su Cheng.
Although a little maid had already sent back the news of the engagement, he still couldn't let go of his heart until he saw Ouyang Kang's return with his own eyes. While directing the family to put up lights, while fidgeting and waiting.
I didn't look forward to it until they entered the house happily, and Du Chuan's heart really fell to the ground.
"You've got your wish this time!" Just said this with a smile, Ouyang Kang suddenly knelt down to him in public and made a big salute.
Du Chuan was taken aback, and even Su Cheng was inexplicable, "Why is this?" Get up and talk! ”
But Ouyang Kang bowed to the ground, and sincerely made two big salutes to Du Chuan, before he said, "Today, I can pass the assessment of my father-in-law, thanks to Uncle Du teaching me." These two ceremonies, one is my own, and the other is what Sister Mu asked me to do on her behalf. She said, no matter what her identity is now, but in this broken garden, she is just Sister Mu, and she has never changed. ”
Everyone choked up, only to hear him, "Once upon a time, I was proud of my cleverness, and I also did some bastard things. It was Uncle Du who taught me that scheming should only be applied to outsiders, not to one's own people. When I competed in Pingwangfu today, I always remembered Uncle Du's words, and I didn't dare to play with half distractions, and I was able to pass smoothly after the last time. But at such a festive moment, Uncle Du couldn't attend, not only me. Sister Mu was also very uneasy in her heart. Yes, I have discussed with Sister Mu, and I want to invite Uncle Du to propose marriage for me, and at that time, I can also invite Uncle Du to sit on our guest of honor. ”
After saying this, Du Chuan was speechless for a long time, and even Su Cheng was rarely silent.
Who would have thought? Ouyang Kang actually thought of this kind of thing, and listening to what he meant, he had done it quietly. With Mu Shaoqin's love for his daughter, how could he not agree to such a small request?
The old lady nodded in satisfaction. "You can think of this. Very good. Then the next thing is for Mr. Lao Su and Mr. Du to worry about. ”
Du Chuan didn't know what to say, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and there were too many things stirring in his heart. So much so that I couldn't even speak clearly. "You ...... In fact. It doesn't have to be this way...... I, I ......"
"Go ahead." Su Cheng suddenly opened his mouth in a low voice, and his voice was unexpectedly hoarse. Just looked at Ouyang Kang's eyes with a bit of relief and emotion, "Xie Lu Xie." ”
Ouyang Kang choked up, "Mr. has the grace of reinvention for me, we are just doing our best to be the sons and nephews of people, how can we afford this thank you?" I'm afraid that I will be young and not do well, so Uncle Du will be wronged, and please don't blame Mr. ”
Su Cheng was speechless to his apprentice for the first time, Wei Ran sighed, pulled him up, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and didn't say anything more.
It's just that when he returned to the room, he held Du Chuan's hand, "I'm sorry, I've wronged you all these years." ”
Du Chuan's heart didn't feel sour, but he smiled as usual on his face, "Why did you suddenly become so sour?" ”
Su Cheng was a little depressed, "In the past, I just thought that it was for your good to protect you and not let people say those gossips in front of you." But now it seems that I am not as small as the two. They have more courage than I do, and they can think of things that I dare not think or do. ”
Du Chuan raised his other hand and put it on his hand, warm to the bottom of his eyes, "You've done a good enough." They are not the same as you, and the things they can do are naturally different. But I know that you are all really good for me. ”
He smiled suddenly, but there was a sparkle in his eyes, "Hey! You're not jealous of your apprentices, are you? Teaching such a compelling apprentice, it seems that we are really going to be cattle and horses for them for the rest of our lives, and there is no stop. Okay, okay, don't just bother with idle talk, you hurry up and pick a good day, and I have to hurry up and make new clothes so that I can propose. ”
Su Cheng smiled and hid the wetness in his eyes, and let go of his own business, but there was a warm feeling in his heart. To have such a pair of apprentices and daughters-in-law, no matter how much they make cattle and horses for them, they are also willing.
This is the heart of being an elder, always thinking about children and grandchildren selflessly. If you get a little reward from them, you will want to pay a thousand times more.
The master and apprentice are still like this, let alone the mother and son.
In the Yuhua Palace.
The Queen Mother took the 30,000 taels of silver tickets sent by Chai Rong, plus the 20,000 taels she made up, and put together a big silver ticket of 50,000 taels, and was about to send someone to Gao Xian.
And the person who served as her messenger was not someone else, it was the monk Princess Shouning, and the little master with the Dharma name Miaoding was also.
Because of the accident, this little granddaughter became a monk, and the Empress Dowager Mu felt guilty in her heart, because she had a good thing, and she was the first to think of summoning her. I'm just afraid that she is young, and some words can't be said clearly, so I tell her repeatedly.
"When I met your father, remember to tell him that the current disaster relief, although it is a time to use money everywhere, also let the emperor not be too anxious, take your time in everything, and take care of your body. Eat three meals a day on time, and don't sleep too late at night. When you go there, you must not only tell the emperor, but also tell Chengping that this is the meaning of mourning, and you must take care of the emperor's diet and daily life. By the way, Shanyin, come here. You also go and talk to the queen, let her restrain the concubines in the harem, and don't allow anyone to pester the emperor without anything. If the mourning family knows the way, he will not be able to spare those fox spirits when he comes back! ”
Shanyin wrote them down one by one, and the Queen Mother asked Shou Ning to repeat her words, and seeing that she did remember it, she thought that there was really nothing to explain, so she let them leave.
Ke Shou Ning suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "But grandmother, if my father asks where the 50,000 taels of silver came from, what should I say?" ”
Empress Dowager Mu smiled, "It's just the private room of the mourning family, let the emperor rest assured that he can take it." ”
Oh. Shou Ning nodded as if he didn't understand, and went out with the silver ticket.
I thought that the imperial grandmother was really powerful, and she had so much money in her private house. Like she used to be in the broken garden, seeing that Sister Mu was busy from morning to night every day, selling a lot of meals and not earning dozens of taels of silver, I think it is still the person who has a private house that makes the most money. When she turned around, she must tell Sister Mu that she doesn't have to do business in the future, let's do a private house, this is the most profitable.
The little girl was innocent, and she didn't know that the private house in her hand was the silver that she almost sold for her sister Mu's lifelong happiness.
Empress Dowager Mu didn't feel that she had done anything excessive. Since the Mu family wants to openly recruit a son-in-law for Nianfu, why doesn't she marry someone who is most beneficial to the family?
Chai Rong is rich, and now the emperor is most short of money, so why don't you let Nianfu marry Chai Rong to solve the emperor's urgent need? Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Mu felt that she was kind enough.
Based on what Nianfu did in the past, she didn't care about it, but let her marry such a golden beetle son-in-law, which was already very generous and tolerant.
Even Mu Shaoqin knew the way, and he couldn't say anything. After all, Nianfu still has half of the low blood of that country woman, and being able to marry a giant like Chai Rong is already regarded as her burning high incense, what else do you want?
She didn't have any selfishness, she didn't move a cent of 30,000 taels of silver, and she also posted 20,000 yuan upside down. Not even in his own name, he gave this good name to his granddaughter. Whether it is as a mother or as the queen mother of a country, the Empress Dowager Mu feels that she has a clear conscience.
So not only did she not have half of the psychological burden, but she calculated it. If Nianfu and Chai Rong make a family appointment, how much should the bride price be received?
If you want to say that those gold, silver and jewelry are not easy to realize, or silver is the most real. It's just that who gives a bride price and gives silver? It's that the Chai family is willing to send it, and the Mu family is embarrassed to accept it?
Just when Empress Dowager Mu was distressed, Shanyin returned.
How did you come back so quickly?
As soon as Empress Dowager Mu raised her head again, she saw a tall and thin familiar figure, could it be Gao Xian?
"Why is the emperor here? What about Shouning? ”
"I met her on the road and told her to go back. How is the queen mother doing? ”
Ok, good, good! I haven't seen my son for a while, and of course Empress Dowager Mu is happy. suppressed the little disobedience of his son to call his granddaughter back, and hurriedly asked people to serve tea, pour water and get snacks.
But Gao Xian waved his hand, and after being polite, he motioned to the palace people to step back and asked, "Has the queen mother been spending very much recently?" ”
Empress Dowager Mu was stunned, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”
"It should be the son who asked the queen mother, right?" The emperor took out the silver ticket that Shou Ning had just given him from his sleeve, "I don't know, when did the queen mother have such a big private house?" ”
The Queen Mother choked up, and suddenly understood that the emperor obviously knew about the matter, and was slightly embarrassed, "Isn't this also for the sake of the Great Liang River?" How could he have been a little selfish! ”
Gao Xian's eyes sank, "If the queen mother is really for the sake of the Liang country, she shouldn't act recklessly!" ”
Empress Dowager Mu blocked her chest in one breath, could she still do something wrong?
But he heard Gao Xian say, "Fortunately, Ouyang Kang finally won the game and let the little uncle take the middle as his son-in-law, otherwise wouldn't the queen mother want to make the world laugh at our Gao family for being so poor that even the cousin's marriage had to be traded!" ”
What the? Chai Rong was not selected? Chose Ouyang Kang? What's so good about that poor country boy? Why take such a big advantage?
Empress Dowager Mu was shocked and annoyed, and even more embarrassed, and angrily argued, "Your Majesty, how can you say that? That Chai Rong begged to the mourning family, and only asked the boy of the Ouyang family how to get out. The mourning family just told him that it was impossible for the Mu family to recruit such a white-bodied son-in-law. Where can you talk about what to trade and not to trade? ”
"It's not a deal, can someone send 30,000 taels of silver for no reason? Queen Mother, are you really so hungry that the Chai family has so much money that you are willing to waste it so much? ”
(Let Empress Dowager Mu come out and ask for pink, I guess no one will give it, right?) So what about letting everyone shoot her with pink as a brick? Interested in wood? Hee hee ~~) (to be continued ......)
