Chapter 66: Tang Yanbin returns
After sending off the shopkeeper Su, Tang Heng came to Qiuyuan with a list of dowry gifts.
Tang Yanning had just peeked at those dowries, so when he looked at the names of the valuables on the dowry list, his face was much more indifferent.
She asked the doubts in her heart: "Father, how can the Gu family have the ability to give such a rich dowry?" ”
Tang Heng repeated what Jin Niang said just now.
"I see," Tang Yanning nodded, his tone a little admiring, "But the shopkeeper Su is a grateful person." ”
Tang Heng's eyes also showed a bit of appreciation, "Indeed, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring, and there are not many people who know how to be grateful like this now." Although she is a woman, her style and bones make the Zheng Zheng sons and daughters in the court a little ashamed. ”
Tang Yanning bowed his head and echoed a few words.
Suddenly, Tang Heng asked: "Ning'er, let you marry on your behalf, can you complain about being your father?" ”
Resentment? She didn't know.
In her previous life, she was resentful, disappointed, sad and tearful, so she sought a way out in order to escape from the surrogate marriage, and fell into the hands of a scumbag like Lu Jinhua for six years.
The fate of this life has been reversed, and her father is not ignoring her, but reveals a few traces of the fatherly love she longed for before.
She is also very confused now, longing for family affection, but also afraid of being hurt like in her previous life, being forgotten by her father, neglected, and unable to get a little warmth......
Tang Heng looked at his daughter for a long time and didn't speak, just stared at himself fixedly with those eyes that were as clear as water, and that look seemed to be disappointed, sad, timid, hurt, and unwilling to take a step forward.
He shook his head and let out a long sigh, telling her to rest early tonight and go to worship her ancestors early tomorrow morning.
Tang Yanning nodded yes, leaning on the door frame and looking at the departing back.
Unconsciously, my father's figure had a hint of ricketism, no longer cold and rigid as before, and faintly revealed a little bit of loneliness.
She sighed, turned and went inside.
The Gu family's thirty-six dowry shocked everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Yanqing was quite calm on his face, and even went to Qiuyuan to congratulate with a smile.
But she was still jealous in her heart, she thought that with the conditions of the Gu family, it would be good to be able to raise ten lifts, and when Tang Yanning got married with only ten lifts, the dowry would definitely be a joke in the capital for a while.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family actually went down thirty-six lifts.
Rao is her own marriage, and it is only a thirty-six dowry, so how can Tang Yanning be able to be on the same level as her, Gu Jiaming is using this to ridicule himself for exalting her.
Hmph, but just a concubine, even if she has thirty-six dowries, she will still be a worthless lady in the future.
When Tang Yanyu learned that Tang Yanning's dowry was thirty-six, his reaction was not as calm as Tang Yanqing, and he angrily smashed the bottles and cans in the room, and was furious.
The Lu family only gave her eighteen lifts with the etiquette of a noble concubine, and they were all objects of average quality, but Tang Yanning turned out to be thirty-six lifts, and the boxes were boutique.
knew that the Gu family still had such a strong strength, so he shouldn't have asked his mother to beg his father to replace the person who married him with Tang Yanning.
The Wen family originally planned to use Tang Yanyu to marry on her behalf, but Aunt Du refused, and Tang Yanyu naturally refused, so Aunt Du blew a lot of pillow wind in Tang Heng's ears.
Finally, the candidate for the substitute marriage was replaced by Tang Yanning, but he didn't expect that the slut would be a blessing in disguise, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, until he smashed everything in the house that could be smashed, Tang Yanyu calmed down a little.
Tang Heng walked out of Qiuyuan with his front foot, and Aunt Song came over with Yan Qun on her back foot, said a few words of congratulations to Tang Yanning with a smile, chatted for a while, and after playing with the little girl for a while, Aunt Song took her daughter back.
The matter of the Gu family's thirty-six dowry gifts was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pot, and it boiled in an instant.
Almost everyone in the capital knows it, after all, Jin Niang was not low-key at all when she went to be hired.
Hundreds of people carried 36 dowries, played suona and gongs, and circled the capital for most of the way.
Now there are different opinions among the teahouse tiles, some say that the Gu family may have deliberately hidden their strength over the years, some say that they are just borrowing favors to slap a swollen face and become fat, and there are those who envy Tang Yanning, a concubine who is not good-looking can be treated like a concubine.
Of course, the most gossip is that Tang Heng was reluctant to marry his daughter, and his behavior was shameless.
Tang Heng's face turned black when he heard the rumors, so he had to come forward to explain that he did not say that he had to be a concubine when he was married, and the third lady and Gu Huaisheng were in love with each other and loved each other, how could he beat the mandarin duck with a stick.
With this explanation, the rumors have disappeared a lot, but many people are still chattering tirelessly, waiting to see what the scene was on the day of the third lady's wedding.
Family.
Gu Huaien took the list of dowry gifts given by his younger brother, and after reading it, his hands trembled, and he asked in disbelief: "Huaisheng, where did you get so many dowries?" Didn't you steal it! ”
Lin Su'e behind him was also shocked, the dowry list said that taking out a random piece was enough for their family to eat and drink for several years, her in-laws had already passed away, how could this younger brother get such a large batch of dowry?
She also looked at her brother-in-law with questions.
Gu Huaisheng calmly poured a glass of water and said the previous remarks of Jin Niang's repayment.
At this time, the time has not yet come, and he still hasn't said that he is the owner of Mochizuki Restaurant.
About Jinniang, Gu Huaien and Lin Su'e both know a little.
One day, Huaisheng suddenly brought back a soaked girl, recuperated at home for a few days, and then only said that he was rescued by the lake, and the girl had nowhere to go and stayed at her home for a few days.
The girl stayed for three or four days, and after her spirit was a little better, she didn't say goodbye, but she didn't expect Huaisheng to save a person who was now the shopkeeper of the first restaurant in the capital.
The couple couldn't help but smack their tongues, this Su shopkeeper was so generous, and with a wave of his hand, the thirty-six dowry gifts were enough for the rest of their family's lives.
Lin Su'e smiled and congratulated, but there was a slight pain in her heart.
Even if this shopkeeper Su wants to repay the favor, he can send the dowry back to their house, and they will send it again.
I sent it all over like this, but I didn't catch it at all, hey, she shook her head again when she thought of this, it wasn't her own, she couldn't worry about it, she couldn't worry about it.
August 22 is the day when the Tang family goes to the Jokhang Temple every year to worship their ancestors.
In previous years, all ancestors had to participate, but this year, Tang Yanyu did not participate, which shows that his status in Tang Heng's heart has plummeted.
Tang Yanbin finally came back on the night of August 21, because he accompanied the princess during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he couldn't turn home to spend a reunion night, and tomorrow he worships his ancestors, no matter what he says, he has to come back.
He was wearing a blue brocade robe, and the placket was embroidered with gold silk dark cloud patterns, which made him look luxurious and elegant, and his bearing was extraordinary.
Tang Heng saw his increasingly handsome son, a smile grew on his face, and he pulled his son to ask about his academic homework, and let him go back to visit his mother.
Wen and Tang Yanqing were also about to come to the front hall to look for him in person, when the three of them bumped into him in the corridor, and Wen's eyes suddenly wet.
I haven't seen him for two months, I feel that my son has lost weight, is taller, and is becoming more and more handsome, so I took my son's hands and began to ask for warmth in the corridor.
Tang Yanqing reminded on the side, "Mother, this is the corridor, the eldest brother rushed back all the way, I have to go back to the house and sit down to drink tea and talk to you." ”
Wen wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, hurriedly said that he was confused, turned his head and told Chuncao to let the kitchen prepare delicious food and wine tonight, and catch the wind for his son.
Chuncao has served the Wen family for many years, is smart and clever, cute and clever, and the Wen family has the intention to cultivate Chuncao to be a concubine in the future.
The mother and son went back to the house and chatted again, and Wen asked worriedly: "Bin'er, you are nineteen years old this year, it's time to marry a concubine." ”
Tang Yanbin said: "The mother doesn't have to worry, the son has his own opinions." ”
Hearing this tone, Wen asked excitedly: "But you already have a favorite person?" ”
Tang Yanbin smiled slightly, did not hide it, and told his feelings with Princess Rongxuan.
Princess Rongxuan is the fourth princess of the emperor, she is at a young age, Bing Xue is smart, lively and cute, in addition to the three princes in the palace, she is the most favored, but this princess with eyes above the top just looked at Tang Yanbin, the relationship between the two is like glue, very dense.
The fourth princess is the sister of the third prince, and the power of the maternal family can be seen, if Bin'er can marry the princess, then the Tang family will completely become a royal noble.
Wen smiled from ear to ear, praising his son's good ability, his daughter married King Liang, and his son married a princess, and the Tang family will be prosperous in the future!
Tang Yanqing also praised and complimented him again and again.
Tang Yanbin said modestly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his face was proud.
This princess has always been rude and willful in the palace, arbitrary, but she was handled by herself, which made him feel great satisfaction as a man, as if he had tamed a beast that no one else could tame, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
After caring about the relationship between Zi and the princess for a while, Wen Shi asked: "Bin'er, since you and the princess are in love, then the marriage is probably not far away. ”
Tang Heng has an old-fashioned mind, thinking that boys who take concubines too early will lose their minds and covet Dunlun, so Tang Yanbin is not allowed to be contaminated with women before the age of eighteen.
Wen just had the heart to send two to his son, and finally waited until he was eighteen years old, but he was in the country again, and he was busy with everything, so he was delayed for another year.
She was worried that her son had never touched a woman so far, and when it came time to get married, she would be jerky about the sex and displease the princess, so she wanted to take this opportunity to send a concubine over to give her son meat.
And Chuncao, she has already found someone to train her, and she will definitely satisfy her son.
