In the afternoon, Master Zhuang came back, and the eldest lady gently served him to take off his official uniform and change into a Taoist uniform. "Master, do you know why the emperor is willing to give this marriage will? I thought that with that person's temperament, he would not like the dealer to marry the king of Rongjun. ”

Master Zhuang pondered for a while, and he was also quite puzzled about this matter, "The holy will is unpredictable, since the holy decree has been issued, we just have to follow the holy will." "I want to do it according to the above meaning, nothing can go wrong. It's just that the meaning of this is to think about it.

After dinner, Master Zhuang went to Zhuang Shoufu's study. Second Master Zhuang had already arrived, he greeted Master Zhuang, and Master Zhuang bowed his head to his younger brother. Then the two looked at Zhuang Shoufu together, waiting for him to speak.

The pen in Zhuang Shoufu's hand didn't stop, and he put down the pen after half a ring, and Master Zhuang stepped forward to refill Zhuang Shoufu with a cup of tea.

Zhuang Shoufu bowed his head, took a sip of the teacup, and then said slowly: "Since the king of Rongjun was transferred back to the capital, the emperor began to change the guards of the southwest, north and south. Because it's all changed, it can't be said that it's specifically aimed at anyone. At the beginning of next year, the emperor will use troops against the Northern Barbarians, do you know this? ”

Second Master Zhuang said: "Since these days, the emperor has been constantly issuing orders to transfer troops and food, as well as his recent words and deeds, you can understand one or two."

Zhuang Shoufu nodded, and said meaningfully: "King Rongjun will definitely go to the battlefield again next year, the sword has no eyes, in case King Rongjun falls on the battlefield, won't he even be able to leave a trace of blood." How could the emperor bear to be the heir of his own brother and life-saving benefactor? So before that, he fulfilled his nephew's last wish and married him a daughter-in-law. Leave for future generations. …… And the emperor assured me that the royal family will support Xiao Eighteen for life, and in the future, the title of King Rongjun will belong to Xiao Eighteen's children. ”

Hearing the words of the two Zhuang brothers, the faces of the two brothers changed greatly, and the meaning of this passage ...... Second Master Zhuang muttered: "Didn't that Hua girl have to be widowed after giving birth to King Rongjun's child?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at his brother, and both of them showed pity for their niece.

Zhuang Shoufu stroked his beard and looked at them fixedly, "The emperor has already made up his mind about this matter, so don't bump into it." The emperor's health is no longer good, and he has to pave the way for the prince! ”

Zhuang Da Lao Zhuang and Zhuang Er were shocked. Again and again agreed. Zhuang Shoufu couldn't help but confess again. said: "Boss, I know that you and the Guo couple have a deep relationship, and I told her a lot of things in the court. But you can't tell her about it, although she has a bit of a city. But she has always loved Chong Minhua. I'm afraid that the matter involving Minhua will make her lose her mind. ”

Master Zhuang began to be a little impressed by the second brother's teasing gaze. Then it was solemn.

After ending this topic, the father and son talked about some court affairs until late at night.

With the decree given. The marriage between King Rong Jun and the dealer spread wildly in the capital. Accounts differ and opinions vary. For a while, it was a pity that the people who didn't like the Zhuang family and the separation fell into the hands of the king of Rongjun, and some people even bet on how long the Zhuang family could last this time to reconcile and leave.

These malicious rumors did not affect the dealer and the Rongjun Palace, what to do or what to do. The next thing is to go through the procedure to send a dowry, because of the importance of King Rongjun, in addition to the dowry sent to the dealer according to the grade, the palace has also added a lot of good things.

Zhuang Minhua looked at the long list of dowry gifts, and his heart was sweet.

The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh, "The female lady is not staying." ”

Soon came the invitation period, and the two families agreed to discuss the handover of next spring and summer, but unexpectedly, the emperor directly decreed that it would be set on the nearest auspicious day, that is, the twenty-fourth of the next month.

Master Zhuang thought of Zhuang Shoufu's words, if it was to keep an heir, it would make sense why the emperor was so anxious. I thought that my niece would marry this year and be a widow next year. Lord Zhuang also took pity on this well-behaved niece who usually sent snacks and tea from time to time, but the holy will was difficult to change, so he had no choice but to tell the eldest lady to treat her niece favorably in the dowry.

There is no need for Mr. Zhuang to mention this, the eldest lady will do the same. According to the etiquette system of this dynasty, the dowry of the princess of the county is one hundred and twenty. For more than a month, a lot of things had to be prepared.

Zhuang Minhua's original dowry had long been brought back from the single family and stored in the warehouse, but now it has been cleaned up, and some of the used ones have been removed and replaced with new ones; Obsolete cloth brocade jewelry has also been replaced with a new one. King Rongjun's dowry dealer left some ceremonial things, and all the others were filled into Zhuang Minhua's dowry; In addition, the public middle school added relatives and friends to add makeup, and it was full of 120 units.

Seeing that the second lady was red, she only said: "The things of the dealer have been moved."

At this time, the tenth aunt's grandmother Zhuang Minyu also returned. After meeting the elders, he went straight to Zhuang Minhua's room.

She was wearing a pomegranate red gown, a flesh-pink pleated skirt, a high bun, and a hollow peony-shaped red amber gold hairpin.

Speaking of which, she and Zhuang Minhua's beauty are of the same type, but the beauty of the two is not at the same level, and they can't be called "Yu Liang". Standing with Zhuang Minhua, other people's eyes were never on Zhuang Minyu.

How can Zhuang Minyu, who has been pampered by the second lady since she was a child, be comfortable, and her appearance can't be compared, compared to others. Fortunately, the original owner is tranquil by nature, and there are many concessions, and the sisters can maintain a harmony on the face.

Zhuang Minyu looked Zhuang Minhua up and down, I haven't seen her for a while, why has my cousin become more beautiful? She's not happy!

"Eighteenth sister, you have a really good game. The first time I married a marquis's son-in-law, the family prepared a rich dowry; The second time he married a county king, the family had to prepare a more generous dowry; The next time you marry the prince or something, won't the dealer all be vacated for you? ”

Zhuang Minhua was not angry when she heard this, her husband was going to be the emperor in the future, Zhuang Minyu was not wrong! It's just that her tenth sister is open-mouthed, but she is like a second lady, and she doesn't know how she gets along with people in her husband's family. "Ten sisters are cautious, how can we talk about the royal family at will?"

Zhuang Minyu sneered: "My sister is getting more and more atmospheric, I still want you to teach me as a sister?"

Zhuang Minhua said lightly: "It's good that my sister knows."

"You ......" Zhuang Minyu was extremely angry, this dead girl had been said by her before. can only listen silently, and now he dares to talk back, and sure enough, it is different if he has been married.

Zhuang Minhua added, "If my sister also wants more dowry, she can also divorce and remarry a prince, so that the family will definitely prepare more dowry for you." ”

Zhuang Minyu is married to the eldest son of Zhuang Er's friend, and it has been less than half a year since they got married, and the couple is mixing oil in honey! Where to give up and leave. Hearing this, he suddenly rolled his eyes, "You think I'm you!" ”

Zhuang Minhua refilled her with a cup of tea without delay. "Thank you, Sister Ten, for coming back and putting on my makeup. My sister toasts you with a cup of tea. "In their generation, she and Zhuang Minyu are two girls, although the relationship is not good, but in the end, it is blood, and some conflicts of will can be completely avoided.

Zhuang Minyu snorted. In the end, I suffered.

"Mei's?" The eldest lady received a message from the Fang family. Quite surprised. "Speaking of which, Eighteen has nothing to do with Mei's family, that is, Eighteen is reconciled with Shan Mingyu, what does it have to do with her in the same outer room? Or is it because of the instructions of Hou Ye? ”

The people below knew that it was just the muttering of the master. I didn't ask him what he meant, just silently hung his head and waited for his master's orders.

Sure enough, after the eldest lady muttered, she said, "You fix the Mei Mansion tightly, don't let her run away."

When Master Zhuang came back, the eldest lady told him about it. Master Zhuang bowed his head, "Master Shan should indeed give our dealer an explanation for this matter." As he spoke, he asked the staff to take his post and go to the Zhennan Hou Mansion.

The staff went that morning, and as soon as the staff came out, Zhennanhou hurriedly went out in a sedan chair.

According to the informant's report, Hou Ye Shan went to the Mei Mansion. Then the next day, Shan Hou Ye came to the dealer again, and between words, he wanted to hand over Mei's to the dealer to deal with.

Shan Hou blamed Mei for not moving her brains to people who shouldn't move, and also blamed her for not knowing people, and the people she was looking for were unreliable, so she sold Mei to the dealer in a few rounds. But in the end, it is the beloved woman, after many years of love, Shan Hou Ye wants to retreat as advance, let the dealer see his face, and let Mei's horse go.

But I didn't expect Master Zhuang to say nothing, but only integrated the information found by the Fang family and the Zhuang family and gave it to Master Shan. Hou Ye Shan took it in his hand and looked at it, and his face was suddenly very exciting. He had no idea that Mei had done so many things, and he was secretly cuckolding him. Hou Ye Shan pressed the anger in his heart, explained to Master Zhuang, and promised to personally deal with Mei's family and give an explanation to the Zhuang family.

Shan Hou Ye dealt with the Mei family but hated the dealer family, if it wasn't for the dealer family, how would he know that he was betrayed by the Mei family and cuckolded. But before he could do anything, he fell ill. I invited the imperial doctor to come and see, but I was caught in the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, and there was no cure. Through the analysis of the Taiyi, it may be Mei's poison. Thinking that he was very fond of Mei's, she was ruthless and poisoned him. Shan Hou Ye spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back.

The fact that the Marquis of Zhennan was poisoned by the outer room is appalling. It spread in the capital for a while, and those who had that good thing speculated whether it was Marquis Shan who did something sorry for the outer room to have such a karma.

Hou Ye Shan didn't last long before he died. This secret medicine has a peculiar toxicity, and it can be latent for a long time when it does not encounter a trigger, but as long as it encounters a trigger, it can take a person's life in just seven days, also known as "seven days of soul breaking".

As for where Shan Hou Ye encountered the trigger, except for himself, no one else knows.

For a while, everyone in the capital was in danger, for fear that the secret medicine would be placed on them. The emperor was furious, strengthened the guard of the capital, and issued an order to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty. There are many fewer dignitaries and nobles in the capital who even raise the outer room, and those who are abandoned or have ambitions in the outer room are all cursed by the Mei family. When it spreads to the people, the eldest wives in the family all lift their husband's ears and tell him that it is the most poisonous heart!

For a long time in the future, the outer chamber groups in Daqi could not flourish.

These rumors have been heard, and they have nothing to do with Zhuang Minhua. The single family is not on her schedule, Zhuang Minhua sighs at most once, the world is impermanent.

In the following days, Zhuang Minhua began to embroider the dowry. She is not a good woman, and the large ones will be handed over to the embroidery girl in the house. Like Meng Jinghan's clothes, purse fan covers, and the forehead embroidered shoes given to Concubine Rong, she still had to do it herself.

Fortunately, there are not many things, and someone has pointed out, Zhuang Minhua has been grinding for a month, and finally he has done almost it.

In the blink of an eye, it entered the beginning of winter, and the cold wind suddenly rose. On this day, Zhuang Minhua finished dressing up, put on a cloak, and went to the eldest lady's room as usual.

These days, in addition to learning some court etiquette from the newly raised grandmother invited by the eldest lady, she also learned housekeeping from the eldest lady. is different from the small yard of the original single family, but now it is the county palace that needs to be managed.

Today's Rongjun Mansion is taken care of by Concubine Rong, but one day, it will be handed over to her, and now she is prepared to learn.

When the eldest lady saw her coming, she sat down, "How did you see the information about the Rongjun Mansion I prepared for you?" ”

"I've written it all down." Zhuang Minhua replied that she bought the Forgetfulness Pill in the system, and she could forget it within an hour after eating it. It's a pity that she can only eat one a day, and even so, she should have memorized it.

The eldest lady took a few questions, and when she saw that she answered them fluently, she was immediately relieved. handed her the list he was looking at in his hand, "Look, what you like to eat, pick it yourself." ”

Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and looked at it, but it was a winter menu. It's already winter, and although each family has a hot spring farm, they will set up a shed and grow some vegetables. However, if you want to eat vegetables and vegetables every day in winter, you still have to store some in advance.

Zhuang Minhua flipped through it and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were clams and crabs. All sorts of delicacies made with clams and crabs quickly flashed through my mind, and my saliva was about to water.

Zhuang Yiduan came in from outside, and when he saw Zhuang Minhua's expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Aunt Eighteen, what delicious food have you thought of again?"

Zhuang Minhua beckoned to her, "Come on, there's really something delicious." He pointed to the words on the list and said, "Look, there are clams and crabs." Clams We can make miso soup, spicy fried clams, clams steamed eggs...... There are also crabs that can be steamed and eaten with sauce, fried with chili peppers, and eaten as crab roe buns. As he spoke, he showed an evocative expression, which immediately amused the eldest lady and Zhuang Yiduan.

The eldest lady smiled: "I am also hungry when you say this." We're going to make a few of the dishes you mentioned tonight. I've never heard of miso soup you said, and the rest is easy. So, you write down the recipe and give it to the big kitchen so that they can follow it. You don't want to cook, you're going to get married in ten days, and your hands and skin are maintained! If you bump and bump and burn, it's a waste of effort. ”

Zhuang Minhua stuck out her tongue, she really wanted to cook by herself! But seeing the insistence of the eldest lady, I had to write the recipe honestly. (To be continued......)
