Chapter 15: Can I change it or change it back
There were still a lot of guests outside who didn't leave, and some of them were going to stay for dinner before leaving.
Therefore, after getting the news, Mu Taishou, Mu Qiming only called his wife, and the eldest son went back to the study to discuss countermeasures.
Whether the prince cheated to death before, or if there was really something else, Mu Qiming didn't know.
But what he can be sure of is that this person, who was originally his son-in-law, is definitely doing something. He didn't come to marry in person, but he picked up the bride at the gate of Xue's mansion and worshiped the bride who picked it up.
Because he was also worried about the reaction over there, Mu Qiming arranged for several people to keep an eye on it.
The person who came back to report said that for the matter of the prince, the rumor in the Xue Mansion was that the prince seemed to be in order not to delay the marriage for several days in a row, and entered the palace overnight to face the saint, and it was very tired in the middle of the night when he returned to the house, so he called someone to replace the kiss who came to pick up in the morning.
As for the others, the guests present were also curious and surprised, but the people in the Xue Mansion were all smiling and silent.
Mu Qiming has another layer of worry in his heart, there is his eyeliner in the palace, but he doesn't know the news of the prince's return to Beijing and entering the palace. What does this mean? Is it that I don't know the eyeliner that I spent a lot of money to raise? Or is it something else?
Xue Guifei, the eldest sister of the prince, was indeed snubbed by the emperor, but the status of the Xue family is not all dependent on the noble man in the palace, Xue Houye has meritorious service to the court, although his son is young, he is also both civil and military, quite sacred, and many things of the emperor are entrusted to him to do.
Xue Zhenggang has several sons, and the most outstanding one is actually the eldest son Xue Wenyu. The others seem to be excellent, but none of them can become a big climate.
Because of Xue Yi's fall from grace and Xue Wenyu's death, Mu Qiming decided to give up the Xue family.
However, Xue Wenyu was alive! It's not easy to do this!
"Father, if the Xue family believes it, they won't pursue it and won't make trouble, but they ask for a replacement, how should they respond?" Mu Yongjie asked with some concern.
This question is exactly what Dong is worried about, but in fact, Mu Qiming didn't expect it.
"Just agree, whether to change it today, or choose another auspicious day, just come according to their wishes." Mu Qiming made a decision ruthlessly.
After all, this time the matter is my own fault, where do I still have the confidence to negotiate terms with others.
In short, this matter can be resolved peacefully, just don't make trouble out of control. He is not afraid of the gossip of the city, what he is afraid of is the consequences of betting on the wrong chips in this game.
"Yes, my son understands, and my son will go." Mu Yongjie got the clear indication and immediately asked the chief steward in the mansion to leave.
"Master, the Xue family is not so easy to fool, even if they pretend to be confused and change people, or if they want to calm down for the sake of face, Jinyi's life will not be better in the future, do you really want to change her?" Dong was so anxious that tears came down.
She usually obeys her husband's words, but she is really distressed and worried about her daughter, knowing that her son has left, and what her husband has decided is not something she can persuade to change, but she still can't help crying and asking.
"Okay, why don't the old man understand this truth. But do you have a better idea than that? Rest assured, Jinyi is sensible, she knows what to do, and she can deal with it. Mu Qiming sighed and comforted.
Things have developed to this point, and even if the people are successfully replaced, some things are actually a foregone conclusion.
"Master, you are so ruthless." Dong felt his heart broken.
"You're a woman, what do you know? Okay, don't cry anymore, hurry up to Jinyina and let people prepare. Mu Qiming was already annoyed in his heart, and when he saw his wife's crying accusations, he was even more irritable, and his tone became softer.
Dong was unwilling, but he was also helpless, wiped away the tears on his face with a handkerchief, and went out in the direction of his eldest daughter's residence.
Get ready? The wedding robe embroidered with heavy gold, the phoenix crown has been worn away by the cheap maid, even if the son brings it back, the daughter is already aggrieved enough, is it difficult to let her wear the wedding robe worn by others?
Dong prayed in her heart that the Xue family would not agree to change people, but thinking that this matter was likely to affect her husband's official fortune and the fate of the hundreds of people in the Mu family, she had to pray helplessly, and the Xue family promised to marry their daughter on another auspicious day.
In that case, at least there will be time to re-prepare a decent wedding dress for your daughter.
But what if it doesn't?
Thinking of this, Dong had no choice but to stop, beckoned the housekeeper who was behind him to approach, and whispered in her ear to explain.
"Yes, mother-in-law will do it." The housekeeper was also surprised, and turned around and left.
It stands to reason that as long as you have money, it is not difficult to buy a set of wedding robes temporarily.
However, the wedding dress and wedding robe are all customized in advance by the people to be married, unless the merchant can see the silver and time permits, secretly sell it to her first, and then rush to the custom family, as long as the delivery date is not delayed.
However, she couldn't guarantee that the wedding dress and wedding robe she had found in such a hurry could meet the standards that the eldest girl had customized before.
Even if there is, anyone who can customize a standard wedding dress will have a status designation that is no worse than his own master, and Xiufang is afraid that there will be mistakes and can't explain it, so it's not necessarily whether he can agree or not.
The housekeeper who hurriedly left the house sighed silently in her heart, many people envy her for being on this errand in the Taishou Mansion, but who knows, the hardships involved! Things are done beautifully, and the master may not necessarily praise.
But if it is done badly, it will definitely not be good!
Besides, in the Xue Hou Mansion, he was drinking tea and talking in the garden with a few distinguished guests who were scattered, and he saw the little servant next to his father coming over and had something to say.
"If my father has anything to explain, you can just say it, and the uncles here are not outsiders." Xue Wenyu had already seen Mu Yongjie standing not far away, originally his brother-in-law.
I probably guessed what was going on, so I deliberately didn't get up and asked aside.
"The eldest uncle of the in-laws came over and said that he wanted to talk to the prince about something." The little guy said the same thing.
"Oh? Since it's the eldest uncle who is here, then please come over and say no, and it's not an outsider. Xue Wenyu said with a smile.
When the little guy heard this, he immediately turned around and went over.
"By the way, this is the big day of the virtuous nephew and his sister-in-law, but I didn't see him at the banquet just now, could it be that he didn't send his relatives in person today?" The person drinking tea on the side was a military general, General Shang, this person was an official with a clean and honest temperament, and he asked very straightforwardly.
"Well, the virtuous nephew doesn't know very well, maybe he has more important things, and he can't get out of it for a while." Xue Wenyu responded very respectfully.
At this time, Mu Yongjie over there listened to the response of the little guy, and had no choice but to come this way.
It's not a good thing that the son of this world saw that he was coming, but he didn't come to greet him......
