Chapter 512: See the in-laws
As soon as these words came out, Shen Cong'an bowed his hand and quickly echoed: "What Shiren said is reasonable, how can the two of us afford to be a 'brother' from Madame, Madame is just casual." ”
After the two of them expressed their attitude, Jun Chen's ugly face softened slightly, knowing that Xie Tanyuan was acting, he had to follow her script, and gently persuaded: "Just call your name." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the two people in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
Their attitude was as usual, and they didn't have any suspicions, and they didn't see that Xie Tanyuan in front of them was Qi Changrong, the prince of the East Palace who wore men's clothes in the past.
Junchen began to be unsure, and his eyes lingered on Xie Tanyuan's face.
Is it really that much of a change?
It's clearly the same person, but in the eyes of others, it's like two unrelated strangers.
Even, looking at the attitudes of Shen Cong'an and Zhou Shiren, he didn't even think about it, and he was still thinking about how to beat these two people in his heart, but it turned out to be completely useless.
While feeling lost in his heart, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and let out a long mouthful of turbid air that had been stagnant for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Shen Cong'an and Zhou Shiren glanced at each other, each understanding what the other was thinking.
Seeing that the general was distressed to even bow down to the old lady and the old man, how could they dare to call themselves the elder brother of the lady?
At this time, Xie Tanyuan smiled and said to Junchen: "In this case, I was abrupt, I came from an and Shiren from afar, and invited my father and mother over, it stands to reason that I should personally thank you, but as a female dependent, before I got married, it was really not good to entertain, and I would like to replace it with Shaoxiu?" ”
"Nature." Jun Chen glanced at them: "This is the trouble I summoned, you go back to rest, there will be a lot of work in the next few days." ”
In fact, it is not busy, and there are very few guests to be invited by Tancheng.
Even if you want to invite someone to be lively, it won't be too much.
But Xie Tanyuan did not refuse Junchen's kindness.
Of course, she knew what he was worried about, and even if the two lacked bones didn't recognize who she was at the moment, it would be more reassuring if the risk of recognition could be mitigated.
Xie Tanyuan went back to the backyard.
As soon as the people left, the softness on Jun Chen's face completely disappeared, and he led the people to the guest house as if he was bubbling with cold air.
The hot tea was served, and Shen Cong'an finally asked the question that had been hovering in his heart since he entered the door: "General, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the way?" ”
Hearing this, after confirming that there was no abnormality between his eyebrows, Jun Chen replied unhurriedly: "The prince has something important to do, and he led people south half a month ago. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Cong'an stared at him and asked cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not attending the general's wedding banquet?" ”
"Well, she said there was something important."
Shen Cong'an no longer inquired, only fell into deep thought.
In the past, he thought that there was a cat between the prince of the East Palace and the general, but now that he looks at it, it seems to be normal again.
But if it is normal, with the affection of the prince of the East Palace and the general, why didn't he even attend the general's wedding banquet?
It's just puzzling.
I didn't understand, so I didn't want to, and the two carefully asked Junchen why he got married.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Shiren, who was still missing a tendon, asked first: "Is the marriage between the general and Miss Xie too anxious, have you asked Your Majesty's opinion?" ”
If it was usual, Junchen would definitely say something about his marriage to Emperor Guan Jin'an, but now he really can't open his eyes and talk nonsense.
After all, he was going to marry the daughter of the One.
Yes, after groaning, Jun Chen said: "Your Majesty should already know about this matter. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Shiren breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, you can't leave a word for the superiors." ”
Seeing that Zhou Shiren had nothing to ask, Shen Cong'an continued: "The marriage of men and women should be the order of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and then act according to the six rites, but the marriage between His Royal Highness and Miss Xie is too hasty, I am afraid that there will be mistakes, and this dowry and dowry ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Jun Chen had already interrupted him with a frown, and asked unceremoniously: "I seem to be a person who covets the Xie family's dowry?" ”
"......" Shen Cong'an changed his statement: "The dowry is enough, but the bride price cannot be omitted, after all, the girl has handed over her whole life to you, and she must show the greatest sincerity." ”
Jun Chen agreed with his head and said softly: "Don't worry about this matter, I have already decided that when I marry a wife and enter the mansion, I will hand over the financial power of the Jun Mansion to her, and then arrange it with her." ”
Shen Cong'an: "...... There is no need to be so generous, the situation in the house is complicated, and the finances are large, but I am afraid that Mrs. will be in a hurry. ”
As soon as these words came out, Jun Chen frowned again: "Do you think she looks like someone who will covet my family property?" ”
“……”
The unceremonious questioning directly stunned Shen Cong'an.
The words can't be said so bluntly, even if he really has such a hidden worry in his heart, he can't say it openly.
After all, it was a stranger, no matter how kind he was on the face, he always had to be a little guarded.
Seeing Junchen's angry face, Shen Cong'an was not easy to fool, and racked his brains and said: "The general misunderstood, I mean, Miss Xie has been suffering for the past few years, and she should take care of it well, such a laborious thing is better to be handed over to someone to do, if the general thinks it is inappropriate, why not wait for Miss Xie to take care of her body before making a decision?" ”
In front of Xie Tanyuan, they can call out their sister-in-law without hesitation, but now that they are behind their backs, they are a Xie girl, and they are full of alienation.
But Junchen was quite satisfied with their knowledge.
Yes, I really began to think about whether the method Shen Cong'an said was feasible.
In the end, he had to admit that it was tantamount to a fantasy to hand over the financial power of the Junfu to Xie Tanyuan.
You must know that Xie Tanyuan is not only Xie Tanyuan, but also the prince of the East Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he doesn't know how many things he has to deal with on weekdays, so where do he still have the heart to manage the monarch's mansion?
After thinking about it, Junchen could only put this matter behind for the time being and put it aside to talk about it later.
He looked at the two people sitting in front of him, curled his fingers and knocked on the table, and said unceremoniously: "The two of you are about the same age as me, and now I am about to get married, but there is not even a person around you who knows cold and hot." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two unconsciously twitched the corners of their mouths, and glanced at each other helplessly, obviously the general was also a peach blossom, but he already had the confidence to count them.
Junchen said again: "After returning to Beijing this time, you will set up another mansion, and you will not be allowed to participate in the next war until you find your wife." ”
Zhou Shiren was heartbroken: "The general married his wife, and he was going to abandon his former brothers?" ”
"Nature." Jun Chen raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "In the past, I let you live with me because there were no female dependents in the mansion, but now that the Jun Mansion has a hostess, it is very inappropriate to let you live for a long time, you don't want a reputation, and you have to think about your sister-in-law." ”
Shen Cong'an had a headache: "It's not difficult to open a mansion, but it's a matter of getting married...... General, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”
Seeing that Shen Cong'an, who had always been calm, was anxious because of this, Jun Chen smiled: "You haven't twisted it, how do you know if it's sweet or not?" Say this to me when you get married! ”
Junchen rarely insisted, but once his attitude became tough, others cared about the possibility of change.
Because of this, Zhou Shiren and Shen Cong'an had no way to struggle, so they had to deal with it.
……
On the first day of August, Xie Fu was a happy event.
The sound of firecrackers crackled, the faint smoke in front of the house overflowed wantonly, and the hired team sang and danced in front of the door.
A few drooping children accompanied by adults came here to see the excitement, and got the candy distributed by the waiter.
Zhou Shiren was also here, and was depressed by the children who came up to ask for candy, but he couldn't struggle, and couldn't help but roll his eyes in frustration.
Seeing this scene, Shi Xia immediately stretched out his hand and crutched his arm, and in the sound of firecrackers, he raised his voice dissatisfiedly: "Today is your general's big day, who do you want to show with this ugly face?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Shiren glanced at her and pouted: "If you don't follow the prince south, what are you doing here?" ”
In the noise, Shi Xia couldn't hear clearly, so he had to block his ears and ask again: "What did you say?" ”
Seeing that she was dazed, for some reason, Zhou Shiren's heart was slightly relieved, and he moved his lips, but he sighed, and then smiled: "It's nothing, let's make happy candy." ”
As if in response to his words, several children began to circle around the two of them, and half of the candy in the tray had been handed out.
Similarly, a restaurant in Tancheng was lively together.
The sound of firecrackers outside the restaurant was everywhere, Shen Cong'an stood in front of the door, facing the pedestrians coming and going, and said with a calm smile: "Today, the Xie family marries a daughter, if you have the heart, and go to the Xie family in Sanqing Street to say goodbye, and then come to this inn to drink a glass of wine." ”
"Today, feast guests for a day."
Hearing the meaning of his words, the passers-by couldn't help but cheer.
Setting up a flowing water table for a day is already a big deal.
For a while, outside Xie's house on Sanqing Street was even more lively, and Shi Xia and Zhou Shiren, who were responsible for distributing the candy, were almost squeezed into a pancake, and the candy fell to the ground and was snatched away.
And inside the house, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
In the inner room, Qi Changrong finally put on the wedding dress that Grandma Sun had sewn for many years, and in the old man's full expectation, he finally had the appearance that a woman should have.
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, Mama Sun couldn't help but reddened her eyes, but she suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said happily: "Your Highness, sit down, it's time to comb your hair and wear a crown." ”
There were only the two of them in the house, and Grandma Sun never called Qi Changrong's pseudonym.
With Grandma Sun's trolling, Qi Changrong sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror, letting his long hair like a waterfall fall over his shoulders, and the unclear mirror reflected the uncommon tenderness in the woman's eyes.
The girl in the mirror put on makeup, and Mama Sun smiled and said, "Today is a good day for Your Highness, and you can't delay the auspicious time......"
