Chapter 231: Xiao Yi's Appointment (1)
The appointment of King Jing's son has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in Shengjing City.
Teahouses and restaurants, streets and alleys, the people of the city are talking about it, discussing whether the limelight of King Jing's appointment can overshadow the two concubines in King Jing's mansion.
All eyes have been raised, and finally the day of hiring has arrived.
In the early spring, the morning is slightly cool.
The grass and trees in the garden are full of flowers, the peach blossom branches are condensed with dewdrops, the breeze blows, and countless crystals are shaken off, moisturizing the frozen spring mud.
The Jingwang Mansion is brightly lit.
Xiao Yi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror.
The man in the mirror is already weak.
Zhang Dan's yellow brocade robe is woven with gold embroidered python, and the waist buckle is three fingers wide with a gold-inlaid leather belt, and his body is tall and slender.
The crimson wide-sleeved brocade robe is covered with it, and the robe is embroidered with auspicious clouds and ruyi patterns with dark gold embroidery thread, which is even more cumbersome and grand.
He made the whole golden crown.
The man in the mirror is golden-looking and jade, with phoenix eyes and thin lips, and is undoubtedly very handsome.
He curled his lips and smiled.
Today, I will definitely charm Nan Jiaojiao.
Jiang Suihan and Shen Yichao sat on a chair by the window and drank tea.
Jiang Suihan folded his fan to hide his face, and couldn't help but whisper: "Get up and toss before dawn, bathe in incense, comb your hair and clean your face, like a peacock opening the screen...... Isn't it just hiring, and it's not getting married! When it really came to the day of marriage, wouldn't he have to get up in the middle of the night to get dressed? ”
Shen Yichao took a sip of hot tea and thought so.
At this moment, a heartfelt report came from outside: "Master, the auspicious time has arrived!" ”
Xiao Yi dusted off his clothes.
He was right: "Let's shoot it." ”
It's still early in the morning.
King Jing and Concubine Jiang were still warm in the bed, and the deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded!
King Jing almost fell out of bed, sat up suddenly, and scolded: "What are you doing outside?!" ”
"Lord Wang!" The maid rushed in with a white face, "Shiziye, Shiziye rode out of the mansion, saying that he was going to the Nanjia to be hired!" ”
"Hire? Where did he get the dowry?! ”
"Slave, slave doesn't know!"
The sound of firecrackers was followed by the sound of crackling firecrackers.
King Jing was so angry that he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
Concubine Jiang freshened up a little, and hurriedly put on her clothes and went out.
King Jing's Mansion, the door of the mansion is wide open.
Countless maids gathered around the door to watch the excitement, the two squeezed through the crowd and stepped out of the threshold, the door of the house was full of red paper scraps after firecrackers, and there were thick firecrackers hanging under the courtyard wall, as if they were going to put a whole day.
"Father, mother, what are you arguing about? Early in the morning, people can't sleep well. ”
Brother Chu Qingyun complained while rubbing his eyes and walked out.
Concubine Jiang sneered: "If the prince wants to be hired, can he not fire the gun?" I can't even get a decent dowry, and I'm embarrassed to make such a big move. If I were him, I would secretly go to Nanfu to get an appointment while it was dark, and I would have it! ”
Mocking, there was a loud eagle howl at the end of the street.
The vigorous Hai Dongqing stretched out his majestic and wide wings, and his eyes swirled coldly.
The crowd looked.
The prince who came on a horse, with a scarlet coat and leather belt, phoenix eyes and thin lips, is as handsome as a god.
Behind him, followed by Shen Yichao and Jiang Suihan.
Further back, Tianshu's team stretched as far as the eye could see, carrying countless mahogany boxes, which could be described as magnificent.
Passing through King Jing's Mansion, he was condescending and smiled arbitrarily: "Morning." ”
"Early, what's early?!" King Jing's temper came up, "Where did you get so many dowries?" Could it be that he did the thing of a chicken and a dog thief?! ”
Xiao Yi laughed, "Which prince in Shengjing City is worth stealing?" ”
Concubine Jiang glanced at the mahogany boxes.
The queue is too long, and it seems that there are many dowries.
If there is a dowry in every mahogany box, how many treasures do you need?
She couldn't help but say cool words: "Lord Shizi, are you hiring, or moving?" Don't deliberately use an empty wooden box as a dowry in order to win over your two brothers in pomp and circumstance! ”
Brother Chu Qingyun nodded, deeply convinced.
King Jing's Mansion has accumulated for decades, but he still can't get so many dowries.
Xiao Yi is just from his adopted son, and he still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, how can he get so many dowries?
must be a swollen face to fill the fat man, deliberately using empty boxes to fill the number.
Xiao Yi is in a good mood today.
He smiled even more, and said lazily as if talking to himself: "It's that this world doesn't think about it." If the world uses false rumors, they all think that my Xiao Yi's dowry is indiscriminate, and the dignity of the little lady of the Nan family will be gone......"
"It's easy." Jiang Suihan shook the folding fan and smiled, "Why don't you open all the mahogany boxes, ask the ceremonial officer to sing the contents of the dowry list, and go through the street to get hired?" The people of the city are supervising with their own eyes, and naturally no one will say that the dowry of the elder brother of the Xiao family is indiscriminate. ”
"Wonderful." Xiao Yi's eyebrows curled, "Tell me to go down." ”
The elite of Tianshu opened the mahogany box one after another.
Xiao Yi bowed his head slightly towards King Jing, and rode forward with a smile.
King Jing's family stood at the gate of the mansion, stunned as the dowry passed by.
Red agate, white pearls, green jade, antique calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty, furniture of golden silk nanmu, ornaments of red coral, silk satin, gold and silver ingots, rosewood handicrafts, mutton fat and white jade utensils, ivory carved chaise longue......
The jewels have been gone for a whole hour, and there is no end in sight to the team giving the dowry.
King Jing's family was dumbfounded.
Where is this special hiring, this is emptying the treasury!
King Jing, who has always been calm, scratched his ears and cheeks, and his eyes turned red: "Where did he get so many treasures, where did he get his treasures?!" ”
Since Xiao Yi has the treasure of the rich country in his hand, why don't he dedicate it to his father?!
So many treasures were actually given to the Nan family as a dowry!
What kind of thing is the Nan family!
King Jing's heart was dripping blood, and his whole person was about to convulse.
Concubine Jiang's figure was shaky.
She held the maid's hand and watched so many treasures pass by like water.
The ceremonial officer was still singing all the way.
She boasted about herself two days ago, praising her son's hiring for being very pompous, but compared with Xiao Yi's hiring, it was simply heaven and earth!
Princess Jing came belatedly.
She didn't expect that Xiao Yi had so many treasures in her hands.
Although she was not angry that these treasures were given to Nan Baoyi, she was still very happy when she saw Jiang Xiuxiu being jealous to death.
She pretended to be modest: "They all say that there is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, but I always feel that they are all children in the house, what difference can there be?" Today, Yi'er was hired, but I understood, this sister-in-law and concubine are different. Sister, do you say? ”
Concubine Jiang was about to vomit blood.
She stabilized her mind and tried to make a smug appearance: "Pomp and circumstance, it's all false." It is only right to marry your daughter-in-law into the door as soon as possible and ask her to open up branches and leaves for the palace. The two girls in the Shilang Mansion will be able to enter the door in a few months. I thought, they can always conceive a child before Nan Baoyi, let me hold my grandchild as soon as possible! Sister, I don't know what year you will be able to hold it? ”
Princess Jing rolled her eyes.
What kind of ability is it to hug your grandchildren first?
It's a matter of being able to hold a few!
It seems that she has to find time to go to Nanfu in person, ask the witch doctor to condition Nan Baoyi's body, and tell her to pass through the door and get a child in one fell swoop.
It's better to have a litter.
Angry Jiang Xiuxiu!
