Chapter 149: Dowry

Qiao Mufeng wanted to marry Li Jingya. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has seen many beauties, and the most beautiful woman in the Great Moon Country is his own mother. Obviously, Li Jingya is not outstanding among them, and besides, he is not a person who is obsessed with women. Such a person, if he had been before, would not have taken it to heart at all.

The fate was only due to that chance encounter, Li Jingya's carriage met the robbers, and he happened to lead the troops back to Beijing. But by chance, I saw the jade bracelet on Li Jingya's wrist. The bracelet seemed to coincide with a certain bracelet in my memory.

There seemed to be a fragment of a crisp voice in my ears.

However, Li Jingya's voice is obviously more coquettish.

Even so, Qiao Mufeng still went to Li's house. Perhaps, he was mistaken.

Besides, this Li Jingya was also found from the countryside, if you have to marry a wife, it is her.

However, when he came back from Li's house that day, Huang San said something in a hurry.

Qiao Mufeng was taken aback.

Only then did they send someone to investigate.

The Li family has been waiting for Qiao Mufeng to come to the door again. Li Rongxing thought about it, his children are so old, how can he get accurate news from Qiao Mufeng's mouth. ,

Unexpectedly, half a month has passed, and Qiao Mufeng has not come to the door again. Li Rongxing thought about it, and then sent someone to deliver the post in the general's mansion.

Qiao Mufeng was not there, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor. It is to discuss the details of the pitch and the wilderness.

That wild realm wants to make peace, and through harmony to achieve friendship between the two countries. It's just that the candidate for harmony is Qiao Mufeng, who defeated the people of the Savage Realm.

The emperor didn't want the princess to marry Qiao Mufeng.

Qiao Mufeng was originally the most brave general of the Great Moon Country, if he was friendly, he would become the son-in-law of the Savage Realm, if he went to war in the future, could he still be as dedicated to the outside world as he is now? The emperor has a lot of considerations, all for the sake of the country, even if Qiao Mufeng is his only cousin, but father and son can turn against each other for this position, let alone just cousins.

Of course, the emperor could not say it explicitly. I had to ask Qiao Mufeng with a smile what he meant.

Qiao Mufeng is a military general, but it does not mean that he has developed limbs and a simple mind. He has survived until now, and it is not because of luck.

He thinks things for himself.

How could he not know about the emperor's worries?

The first time I got married, it was a marriage given by the first emperor, in order to use the power of the Yue family to protect the current emperor.

It's just that he received the holy decree on the night of his marriage, and he went to the northwest border before he even had time to go to the cave house, and he didn't come back until three years later, and he went again in less than a month.

When I received the news of his wife's death, his sons were more than two years old.

And this time, he had to sacrifice his marriage again.

Although Qiao Mufeng felt a little bitter in his heart, he could accept it. He didn't plan to marry another wife in his life, just raise his son well. It's just a woman, as long as she doesn't pay attention to it and sends someone to watch it, she can't find anything.

Now, his power is getting bigger and bigger, and only by marrying someone who has little power can the emperor put his mind at ease.

met Li Jingya, and saw the vague bracelet in his memory, Qiao Mufeng decided without investigating.

It's just that I didn't expect that Li Jingya might not be the person who saved him at all.

The people who sent it have not returned.

Qiao Mufeng came out of the imperial study and took a deep breath. It was snowing heavily, and he walked towards the outside of the palace.

The eyes of the people in Beijing are bright, and wherever the wind blows, they will fall.

Because of Qiao Mufeng's relationship, there are even a lot more people who say goodbye to Li Haoxuan. Many are still young ladies from official families.

Li Rongxing wanted to wait. When Li Jingya's matter is completed, the marriage of the Li family's children will naturally go smoothly.

Li Haoxuan is not much interested in getting married, if he can meet the right one, of course he can get married. That is suitable, and naturally it can be helpful to the Li family.

Li Jingya is pressed by the Chen family to do needlework at home every day, and there is no news from Qiao Mufeng's side, and the Chen family is forcing her to embroider the dowry.

The women of the Great Moon Kingdom have to make a set of clothes for their father-in-law when they get married, and they have to make a set of clothes for their father-in-law and mother-in-law to show their filial piety.

Of course, it's best to embroider even the pillow and towel tent yourself.

However, large families generally have a needlework room, and the girl's dowry can be made by the needlework room or the maids in the yard.

Li Jingya grew up in Qinglou since she was a child, and what she learned was poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as the ability to serve men. Needlework or something, where's that?

She can't even embroider her purse. Not to mention the dowry.

These days, the Chen family is talking in her ears every day, all of which are about the benefits of marrying Qiao Mufeng, in a word, it is to fly on the branches and become a phoenix.

Li Jingya likes to be as beautiful as a jade son, but she likes money more and the feeling of being on top. She used to have the lowest status, so she felt these imaginary things very deeply.

Chen's words were not in vain, and in the end, Li Jingya still nodded with a red face. Obediently embroidered the dowry in the yard.

There is a ground dragon in the house, and it is not cold, and Li Jingya will still learn from her grandmother for the first two days. However, the needle is so thin, how long does it take to embroider a flower? Li Jingya felt that her eyes were going blind, and she accidentally poked her fingers many times. She remembered when she used to practice.

At that time, there was no earth dragon in the room, and in the middle of winter, there was still snow outside, and both of her hands were frozen and swollen, and she had to keep practicing. If you don't practice well, you won't have anything to eat. Even if I was hungry, I still had to continue practicing.

However, now that she is the eldest lady of the Li family, such a day should not belong to her at all. She will also become the wife of a high-ranking general. Sewing dowries and doing such things can be done by the girls. Besides, no one else can see it.

The girls are naturally doing well, but it is different from what Chen thinks. The daughter she finally found back is going to marry a general, and naturally, the dowry must also be good.

Not only all kinds of top-quality materials, all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and large furniture in the splendid building, but also the purse handkerchief that was taken out and the wedding dress worn on the body should be the best.

So, he sent Li Rongxing to discuss. Li Rongxing also felt guilty about this daughter in his heart, of course, he said that it would be good to only follow Chen's wishes. The next day, the Chen family recruited Li Haoxuan and asked him to bring all the top materials in the shop to Li Jingya as a dowry. Li Haoxuan also ordered to go down.

The Li family is preparing a dowry, so naturally it is impossible to remain silent. He is a well-known rich businessman, not only customizing a lot of jewelry in the Zhuyu Pavilion, but also various utensils in the Duobao Pavilion, all of which are worth thousands of gold. Naturally, you can't hide it from people.

Jingzhong is speculating, is the general really going to marry a merchant's daughter as a wife?

There are more people who go to Li's house.

They all came with their daughters or nieces.

The meaning of this is clear.

Chen just greeted each other, but did not answer the words of the guests at all, only praised the girls for looking like flowers.

There were not only merchants' families, but also wives from the families of six- and seven-grade officials.

Even once, some people said that Honglu Siqing's second daughter was fresh and beautiful, and she wanted to be a matchmaker for the Li family.

That Honglu Siqing was an official of the fourth grade, and the Chen family was a little hesitant. Asked Li Rongxing if he wanted to settle it down for Li Haoxuan.

Li Rongxing pondered for a while, and then said that he would let people inquire about it.

Chen nodded.

In my heart, I was very satisfied with the daughter of the Honglu Temple.

It's just that within two days, the news came back. said that although the second daughter of the Honglu Siqing is beautiful, the female worker is also excellent. But it's a concubine.

The disappointment on Chen's face could not be concealed.

This matter is over.

When Li Haoxuan heard about it, he only smiled slightly.

On this day, Chen called Li Haoxuan to Jinhua Courtyard.

Li Haoxuan saluted Chen, and Chen called him to sit down on the chair on the right, and asked the maid to serve him tea.

Li Haoxuan gently brushed the tea leaves aside with the tea lid and tasted it lightly, it was the spring tip of the best Yunbai Mountain. In the mouth, you will have a mouthful of fragrance.

Chen looked at such an excellent son, and felt even more satisfied in his heart, only thinking that her son was the best in the world, not worse than those princes. Thinking of his son's marriage again, if it weren't for the family dragging him down, he would be a princess, and he would have been able to do so.

Li Haoxuan looked at his mother and smiled for a while, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother calling her son over today?" ”

When Chen heard this, he pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that my mother is fine, so I can't call you over?" ”

Li Haoxuan smiled, "Mother, my son only came to see my mother yesterday." ”

Speaking of which, it's still for Li Jingya's sake.

She originally asked the workshop to help Li Jingya embroider the dowry, after all, there are more people in the workshop, and it can be embroidered quickly. However, the Li family has always been based on fabrics, although there are also embroidery girls, but the embroidered things are not as good as the famous embroidery workshop. The famous embroidery workshop focuses on embroidery, which is the first part of the Great Moon Country. The embroidery of the splendid building is only better than the average.

Chan was not satisfied.

This reminds me of Sang Yu. In the past, when Sang Yu was in the Li Mansion, she also embroidered things for her, not only in terms of style, but also in that embroidery work, which no one could match. Every time she came to see herself, the handkerchief purse she brought was also eye-catching.

"Brother Hao, your sister married such a good family, this dowry is not well embroidered. Sang Yu embroidered well, why don't you go and see it, and tell her about it. She has such a good relationship with our family, she will definitely help. ”

Li Haoxuan did not immediately agree.

Li Jingya embroidered the dowry, either in the needlework room in the house, or the maids and grandmothers in the yard helped embroider it, or the sisters, how could they call outsiders to help.

"Mother, there are so many people in our family, are you still afraid that you won't be able to embroider your sister's dowry? You don't need to find Sangyu to embroider. ”

Chen glared at him, "What did you say, your sister's dowry is naturally the best, how can you see people with such craftsmanship in the mansion." Besides, Sang Yu was originally based on our house, and it wouldn't be too much for me to call her embroidery dowry. That's all there is to it, you send someone to tell it right away. ”

Seeing this, Li Haoxuan had to sigh and retreat. (To be continued.) )
