Chapter 045: Save some dowry

After Chu's mother left, Wang immediately called Huang Yi'an and told her about it.

"If that Miss Ming really marries Third Young Master Zhang, what are you going to do?" Wang asked directly.

Huang Yi'an thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mother, I just want to live a plain and stable life." ”

Even though Zhang Lan is very good, she is not willing to put herself in a lifelong battle with Mingyi for this reason.

She survived those days all her life, and now she finally lived again, and she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Wang sighed and said, "That being said. However, Miss Ming aside, this family affair is really rare. The Duchess values you, and Miss Zhang has a very close relationship with you; And Fourth Young Master Zhang is handsome, what is even more rare is that you are attentive and considerate, and after getting married in the future, you can stand on your own and close the courtyard door to live your clean little life.

"Such a good husband, my mother counted on her fingers, but she couldn't find a few."

Huang Yi'an felt that what Wang said was very reasonable, but he always couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Especially after drawing a picture of a frowning beauty sitting deep yesterday, she is even more reluctant to become such a pitiful and disgusting person again.

Although Zhang Lan is much better than the emperor, he can't stand Ming's much better than the Zheng family. What's more, judging from the current situation, Ming Yan and Zheng Yuyan are in cahoots and work together to deal with her!

This is about "once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope".

"Hasn't my mother already made her attitude clear to Mother Chu, then let's wait and see the decision of the Duchess of the Kingdom." Huang Yi'an smiled and persuaded.

This family affair with the British government is not equal in the first place. If she insisted on her principles, she would have to wait for the Duchess of England to make a final decision.

Unexpectedly, in my previous life, I was determined by others all my life, and now I am reborn, but I still can't get rid of it......

Huang Yi'an was in a mixed mood.

"However, mother, no matter whether this family business is successful or not, through this matter, I have understood: if this person wants to live well, he always expects others to be unsuccessful, and he must first stand up by himself!" Huang Yi'an took the opportunity to persuade, "Whether my father moves up or Brother Dong is studying, there is always a shortage of silver." Therefore, when it comes to opening a shop, please consider your mother and father more. ”

When Wang heard this, he suddenly felt very reasonable.

If the Huang family is a high-ranking dignitary like the British Mansion, would a young lady from the British Mansion dare to embarrass her daughter in public everywhere?

"You have a point!" Wang immediately clapped his head and said, "Then this matter is decided!" Your father's place, I'll tell him! ”

It's like saving a dowry for your daughter!

"Thank you, mother!" Huang Yi'an hugged Wang's arm coquettishly, his eyebrows and eyes crooked.

As long as you get your mother, your father won't be a problem at all.

The mother and daughter were talking about this, and Amei came in to report: "Miss Liu from Wuzhangfeng is here." ”

Huang Yi'an let go of Wang, got up and said with a smile: "Mother, then I'll go first." ”

"Go, go, go!" For the rich man Wuzhangfeng, Wang now has a good impression, and instructed Ah Mei, "Serve tea and snacks, don't neglect the guests." ”

Amei smiled and responded.

The master and servant went out of the main room and went all the way to the small flower hall.

In the flower hall, Liu Xiu heard footsteps outside, so he got up and went out, and met Huang Yi'an under the door.

"Miss Liu, please take a seat." Huang Yi'an invited people into the hall and smiled enthusiastically.

Liu Ji pays attention to faithfulness and generosity, so Huang Yi'an has a very good impression of the Liu family brothers and sisters.

The two of them sat down separately.

Liu Xiu explained her intentions: "Yesterday, Miss Huang drew a picture of a beauty, which is the honorarium left by the son. ”

Huang Yi'an raised her eyebrows, knowing that Liu Ji really helped her hide the identity of the known emperor, and she was grateful.

When he saw the two silver tickets of one hundred taels, Huang Yian was stunned and blurted out: "So many? ”

Can't blame her for being so surprised, it's really that Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Shoufu have always been extremely strict with the emperor, how could they condone him to take two hundred taels of silver and buy a picture of a beautiful woman with excellent painting?

It's not the work of a famous artist.

"The boy said that his brother's remuneration was counted in a hundred taels, and he naturally had to do the same. I think I like Miss Huang's paintings very much! Liu Xiu smiled, but felt in his heart that compared to the identity of the emperor, these two hundred taels were only passable.

Huang Yi'an was speechless.

The emperor's rebellion seems to have come several years earlier than in his previous life.

Weifu went out of the palace, indulged in amusement, and threw silver...... Any one of them is enough for Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Shoufu to reprimand.

However, that was the emperor's business, and it had nothing to do with her.

Huang Yi'an received two hundred taels of silver tickets, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was ready to increase his investment in his own fragrance shop.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Qi Yu was really as Huang Yi'an expected, and was being taught a lesson by Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Shoufu.

The reason for the incident was that Feng Yongting accidentally saw the picture of the beauty, and he always felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

It wasn't until Empress Dowager Li once talked to him about the matter after standing up that Feng Yongting suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the woman in the painting among the women to be selected by the Ministry of Rites!

So Feng Yongting seemed to casually flip through the pictures of beauties full of cases, and talked to Empress Dowager Li about the appearance of each lady while flipping through it, until he turned to the portrait of Zheng Yuyan.

Compared with the picture of the beauty in the emperor's hand, the person sent by the Ministry of Rites looks still young, his facial features have not yet grown, and he is still a little childish, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes can already see the charm of the coming day.

Feng Yongting immediately overturned his previous inference that the emperor liked people who painted beauties.

Now it seems that the emperor likes perhaps the beauty in this painting!

Don't they all say that "if you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn", if the emperor really likes people who paint beauties, then why don't he just bring that person's portrait into the palace?

Feng Yongting didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent a message to the first assistant Zhang Gui.

After the two met, Feng Yongting revealed the matter.

Of course, about Feng Lin's disobedience to the holy will and leaking secrets to him, he deliberately concealed it, only saying that he accidentally discovered that the emperor had hidden a picture of a beauty in the imperial study, and the beauty on the picture was quite similar to the young lady of the household department Zheng Siwujia.

When Zhang Gui heard this, he immediately understood that this matter was very important, and even told Feng Yongting not to move for the time being, and waited for him to inquire about the origin of the Zheng secretary.

It is a very simple matter for the head of the cabinet to inquire about a small household secretary.

The next day, the people sent by Zhang Gui inquired about all the people in the Zheng family who counted three generations up.

Born and raised in the capital, the ancestors have been submerged for several generations, and now Zheng Siwu, who is now in charge of the family, is a mediocre man who can get by and indulge in pleasure, and his brothers, sons and nephews are rarely capable of outstanding.

Speaking of which, this daughter of Secretary Zheng is a very talented girl, and she is now twelve years old, which is the youngest age after participating in the election as determined by the Ministry of Rites. If the Zheng family wants to think of the situation, they will naturally not miss this opportunity.
