Chapter 315: Auspicious Day
"Can the Gu family agree?" Mu Jinyi also had a question mark: "I heard that girls don't have to embroider their own dowries when they get married?" In such a hurry, the sister-in-law's dowry is too late to embroider, right? β
"Where did you hear that," Mu Hongsheng pouted at his younger brother, "You don't necessarily have to embroider it yourself." There are embroiderers in the family, so why do you have to do it yourself. β
"You don't." Mu Jinyi replied with a smile: "Because you can't embroider." Expect you to embroider your own dowry, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to marry at the age of eighty. β
As soon as Mu Jinyi's words came out, Mu Hongsheng's eyebrows stood up, her fists were raised, and seeing that she was about to tear it apart again, Old Madam Mu hurried up to preside over the overall situation: "Okay, don't let you toss around, and fight again in the blink of an eye." Sit it all for me! After a few days, there will be banquets in our house and in Gu's house, and no fights are allowed in these days. β
"Grandmother, will you be hired in a few days?" Mu Hongsheng and Mu Jinyi heard Old Man Mu's words, and their faces showed exactly the same excited expression, as if they had long forgotten the black-eyed chicken state a second ago: "Are you all right with the Gu family?" β
"There are several good days in the first month, and it doesn't take too long." Mrs. Mu replied with a smile: "I have discussed with Mrs. Gu, the twentieth day of the first month is an auspicious day, and when the time comes, let your third uncle and third uncle and mother take the matchmaker to officially come to the door to hire, and the Gu family will also agree." I plan to ask your grandmother to help her come out as a matchmaker, and the princess and princess will come to the door in person to propose, and the face is enough. β
"The twentieth day of the first month?" Mu Hongshang looked a little dumbfounded, she knew that her eldest brother's marriage was in a hurry, but she didn't expect it to be so fast: "But Sister Gu is still in Ningling!" β
"Where do you need to worry about this girl," Old Madam Mu was in a good mood: "Mrs. Gu has already sent someone to pick it up a few days ago, if the speed is faster, she will be able to come back at the end of the first month." Don't worry, although your eldest brother's marriage is in a hurry, we must be thoughtful in our etiquette, and the three books and six ceremonies are complete. In the past few days, let your third uncle take the official media to the next hire, I discussed it with Mrs. Gu, and there is no need to delay the acceptance and asking for the name, these days have been done together, the Wending in February, and after the Wending, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to personally help your eldest brother choose a good day for a big gift, and let the emperor help set the day of the wedding. Anyway, before the summer, I want to see my granddaughter-in-law enter the door. β
"Grandmother really doesn't plan to leave time for my sister-in-law to embroider the dowry." Mu Jinyi laughed.
"No, I don't." Old Madam Mu waved her hand and said majestically: "Wouldn't it be better for your sister-in-law to enter the door wearing the phoenix crown and xia curtain given by the emperor?" What to do yourself laboriously embroidered dresses and hijabs. β
"When my grandmother entered the palace, she wanted to ask for a dowry for her sister-in-law!" Mu Hongshang smiled and leaned back.
"That's it." Mrs. Mu replied confidently: "When I marry a daughter-in-law in the Anguo Mansion, I naturally want to be beautiful, how can the emperor and the queen not add makeup to my granddaughter-in-law." β
From this day on, the whole Anguo Mansion was really busy, and the eldest prince Mu was about to get engaged, and the whole mansion was full of joy, and even the children were busier than usual. Of course, it is different from others who are busy with children, for example, Mu Hongsheng counted her pocket money clearly, and wanted to drag Xie Shurou to accompany her out shopping and make some makeup for Gu Yilan.
And Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi were chased by the embroidery aunt in the house and ran around the yard, tossing and turning in order to make new clothes.
The whole Anguo Mansion was lively, Mrs. Mu was happy, she was smiling, and the one who seemed to be the least busy in the whole mansion was probably the main Mu Zhengyi, who was about to marry.
The marriage does not need him to personally Zhang Luo, the third uncle is back, and he does not need to go into the palace every day to find Yu Cheng and inquire about the news of the DPRK and China, and want to find a future lady to cultivate and cultivate feelings, his fiancΓ©e has not returned to Beijing yet, he just wants to find something to be busy, and he is bored all day long.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, two major events occurred in Beijing.
First, Cui Wenju, who was thrown by the emperor to Ming Prison for trial on the second day of the Lunar New Year, still refused to change his confession, and Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who could not drag it out any longer, had to sort out his previous seven or eight points of confession and hand it over to the emperor.
Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of War was unlucky this time, and he could be regarded as having realized this time, what is called a thief's bite, and he will be divided into three points. He was actually mentally prepared and knew that he was bad this time, but he never expected that Cui Wenju would insist that Qin Fenglu's salary deficit and the unjust imprisonment of Juyun Guan Zhonglang were all conspired with him.
This Cui Wenju is willing to be righteous! In order to keep his sister-in-law Wen Chengping, and in order to please Li Xiang, and leave a way out for his sister-in-law, he actually took all these things, and opened his mouth to bite him to death, the secretary of the military department, and did not say anything, in order to find someone to help carry the black pot, these people really dare!
But Zhou Shangshu knew that nothing was useless at the moment, Li Xiang was well prepared and cleaned, he just wanted to bite Li Xiang back now, but there was only a confession and no evidence. But can he bite Li Xiang to death for a moment of depression? Obviously not!
Zhou Shangshu has been an official for many years, and he is naturally very shrewd, he understands that his only choice at the moment is to keep his mouth shut and take these things in partnership with Cui Wenju.
No!
Zhou Shangshu, who was stripped of his official uniform and imprisoned by the angry emperor on the spot, closed his eyes in despair, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart.
Youzhou General Mu Chengxin looked at everything that happened upwards with a calm face. There was such a big change in the military department, and he was still as quiet as ever and did not take the initiative to speak, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
And on this day, the three phases, including Scholar Gu, were also very silent, and no one would speak. Shangshu ordered Wang Zhixiu to look at Sanxiang and Scholar Gu, and then glanced at Zhou Shangshu, who was directly escorted, and frowned slightly.
The emperor lost his temper for a while and then dispersed directly, as for the mess of the military department, the emperor planned to think about it carefully before making a decision.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the courtiers found that Mu Chengxin, the general of Youzhou who did not take the initiative to interact with people on weekdays, walked together with Gu Daxue with a smile, and the two walked side by side and broke up in front of the palace gate.
Before leaving, Mu Chengxin smiled and arched his hand towards Scholar Gu: "Then the general will leave first, seeing that the auspicious time is approaching, the matchmaker should already be in our mansion now." β
Senior Scholar Gu also returned the salute with a smile: "General Mu, don't worry, everything in our mansion is ready to stop, just wait for the general to come to the door." β
"Hah!" Xie Xiang, who was standing behind the two of them, suddenly laughed loudly: "Scholar Gu, it seems that the lower officials want to ask you for a cup of wine!" β
"This is natural," Gu Zhengze turned around with a smile and arched his hand towards Xie Xiang: "Don't worry, Xiangye, this cup of wine will not leak you." β
