The candlelight in the room flickered on and off, so that Mama Zheng couldn't see the expression on Wang Miaoyan's face clearly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she got up and took the small silver scissors, cut the candle wick, and brought it to the head of the bed, seeing that Wang Miaoyan was still sobbing and crying, her expression was much calmer.

"Concubine Fang, if you have to endure hardship, you will become a master!"

Wang Miaoyan nodded slowly.

In the blink of an eye, March is here. In the spring of March in Jinling City, it is a good day for people to get rid of the bloat of the whole cold winter and change into spring shirts to go out.

The second day of the first month of March is the day when the Chengguo Mansion goes to the Anwang Mansion to be hired. Although the two families were on the same street, there were too many dowries in the Guogong Mansion to be at the mercy of them, so the first person had to go around to the front street first, and then enter the palace from the east side of the street.

Pei Minzhong arranged a lot of guards to guard the streets, and asked Meng Ye to send some platoons from the Jinling Mansion to block the streets on both sides. Although the streets have not been cleaned, order is still in order.

The common people of Jinling City have a lot of people watching the excitement in the early morning to guard the front street of the Guogong Mansion, and around the auspicious time, both sides of the road are surrounded by water.

One person wanted to go to the front to buy some refreshments, but he couldn't squeeze in. He complained impatiently: "All of them are idle? Just idle to watch the excitement of others! ”

A person next to him smiled and said, "Your old man is so busy that his eggs hurt, why don't you squeeze here with us and see?" ”

The man said angrily: "My family lives on these two sides!" When I went out for refreshments, who knew that I was squeezed by you people for half an hour and didn't move two steps! ”

Others laughed: "Yo! To be able to live here, that's a noble person! I know that your old man is not rare, and we people have never seen anything good! ”

The man said, "Look at your age, you didn't see the prince when he married a wife?" ”

"Well, where can you compare with that? I heard that the Duke of Chengguo, who just went, has the ability to make money, and now the prince is going to marry the most noble princess in the world. If you have money, you have to use it on the blade, and you can also look at it twice, and you can't lose it! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden uproar on the street, and it turned out that the two teams of guards were heading, and the first dowry had already left the door of the Guogong Mansion. There is a pair of flat pointed grain pattern jade gui placed on it, the whole body is moist and white, faintly shining, it is a rare Hetian sheep fat jade jade.

Next was the pair of geese that Pei Minzhong brought from Hongze Lake, who were wrapped in red silk satin, and carried them away.

The dowry came out one after another, there were four coral trees three or four feet high, a golden gilt cloisonné enamel clock that was half a person high, a complete set of gemstone heads, countless precious satins, and at the end there were eighteen pairs of rabbits made of red gold.

Every time the dowry came out, I heard the inhalation of onlookers, followed by the praise of the onlookers, and sighed that the Chengguo Mansion was worthy of being a century-old family, and it was rich and noble.

In the main room of the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Tai was sitting on the Taishi chair, smoking a hookah in her mouth. Mrs. Han and Pei Mu were talking on the side.

Mrs. Tai said to Pei Mu: "Jiulang is hired today, your mother is just going back, after all, she is a widow, so you have to avoid it." You, who are cousins, don't go to help, just sleep until three o'clock in the morning before coming over. When you get married, you have to borrow Jiulang's people to make an envoy, you don't even bother to do this little face, see how you talk to Jiulang at that time! ”

Pei Mu said with a smile while picking up candied fruits in the fruit bowl: "Grandmother, how do you know that I didn't go?" I came and went over, and I saw that the dowry was almost distributed! I'm finally staying at home for a day, and you just have to talk about me! ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Since you have been there, the favor will be delivered." In the end, it is still the uncle of the Wang family who has some ability, and he has trained you, who is not in a proper manner, to look like this. ”

Speaking of the brother-in-law who had a stiff face all day long, Pei Mu felt a headache. Wang Yu is a gentleman who walks the right path, and he can't look down on the crooked ways that Pei Mu is used to. In addition, he was trained in the military camp, advocating strength and ability, respecting people like Pei Minzhong, and despising Pei Mu the most is Pei Mu's embroidered pillow and gentleman.

Wang Yu has nothing to do in Jinling recently, so he often takes Pei Mu to the camp outside the city to practice. Although Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Han were distressed, they also knew that if they didn't train Pei Mu hard, they wouldn't want to compete with Pei Minzhong for anything in this life.

Mrs. Han smiled: "Have you seen Jiulang's dowry?" What do you think? When we go to Wang's house in June and July, we have to follow this. ”

Pei Mu took a bite of the candied grapes, thought it was too sweet, threw it on the coffee table, and then replied: "It's very decent, there is everything, there are a lot of gold beads and jade." Especially the pair of sheep fat jade gui at the beginning is good, the color is excellent, I have never seen such a big one, it is still a pair. ”

Mrs. Tai felt a little unhappy when she heard this, and said, "Don't think about that!" That Yugui is something that can only be used by the prince's appointment, and Jiulang is married to a princess, which is not overstepping. What are we! How dare you think about this! ”

Pei Mu said with a smile: "I didn't say anything about his eyes, if you don't let you use Yugui, we won't need it." However, this time, Brother Jiu was hired, how much silver was given by the public school? I look at that pile of things, and I can't get down without 70,000 or 80,000 taels. ”

Mrs. Tai was taken aback and asked, "Are you right?" ”

Pei Mu calculated the account: "Gold is priceless, jade is priceless, and five thousand taels for jade is not too much." Four coral trees, red and gorgeous, can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars if they are broken to make jewelry, and the whole one can be sold for 3,000 taels. The head of the pile of jewelry, the big one is the size of a finger belly, and the small one is the size of a grain of rice, and there must always be more than a dozen pieces and twenty sets of ......"

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Han glanced at each other, and both of them were very surprised.

"I really didn't expect that the second uncle could make so much money. It can't be greedy for military salaries, right? ”

Mrs. Tai shook her head and said, "No." The second child is not bad in the end...... His loyalty to the court is not worse than that of your father-in-law. I only said that he was busy with blind tossing and turning in those years, but I didn't expect to really earn such a big piece of furniture for Jiulang Niang'er. ”

Pei Mu was surprised: "Brother Jiu's hiring of these is not the money from the public?" ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at him and said, "The money in the public is all saved by your ancestors, why do you want to give it to him?" You bastard don't have enough flowers, and you can't help but give flowers to others? ”

Pei Mu felt that it was inappropriate, but in the end, his grandmother was also for herself, so she didn't say anything.

"How many times have you been to the East Garden, and you have looked coldly at what kind of person Princess Xuanhui is?"

Mrs. Han thought for a while and said, "It looks like a smart person, and he was also pampered by the first emperor in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and it is estimated that this temper will not be small." It's strange to say, Jiulang is not a good-tempered person, and these two people don't know how to get along, and they get along so well. ”

Mrs. Tai sneered: "Who didn't have two good days when they were young? Let's look at the days to come! ”
