Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Lifetime and a Couple
Zou Minlan looked at the old lady's face becoming more and more ugly, and her heart was also very anxious, this Jiang Yu has always been knowledgeable and polite, how could she not even say hello to anyone today, what if King Ning had to see her. When I was really anxious, I got my mother's order and asked myself to find Jiang Yu, Zou Minlan nodded hurriedly and left in a hurry.
When I arrived at the yard, I searched carefully inside and out, but I still didn't see anyone, so I sent Hua Lian to look around, Hua Lian was also anxious, obviously she was still with her own lady just now, why did she disappear now.
It turned out that Jiang Yu had just predicted that King Naning was about to be hired, and he had a big head for a while, so he sneaked out, and was wandering on the street at this time, but he predicted that if his mother Zou Minlan couldn't find her, he would be punished by his grandmother, and he couldn't bear it, so he turned back.
Extremely reluctantly, he entered the house and went straight to the front hall. The old lady was worrying, and when she saw her granddaughter Jiang Yu coming, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at King Ning's face and looked much better.
After Jiang Yu stepped forward and saluted, King Ning gave him a seat, Jiang Yu sat down, and Zou Minlan also got the news and hurriedly came to look at Jiang Yu quietly, and didn't say anything. Seeing that everyone had arrived, King Ning whispered a few words to Gonggong Xiao, and Gonggong Xiao took the gift list and cleared his throat to read it.
How could Zou Xue'er resist not looking at this excitement, that is, the maids couldn't stop it, so they went to the back window of the front hall to listen to the corner, but they were met by Zou Rui, who came with him, since the poisoning incident occurred in the east window, Zou Xue'er and Zou Rui were very red when they saw each other, and the two wanted to quarrel, but the current situation was really inconvenient, so they just glared at each other a few times, snorted coldly, and the two of them tacitly listened to the back window.
Fortunately, since Jiang Yu was given marriage, these days Steward Feng got the old lady's instructions, and made preparations early, this King Ning's work is really different from ordinary people, such a speed, this morning when I heard that Ning Wang's Mansion was beating gongs and drums and bands, Steward Feng knew that he was going to this side, and hurriedly prepared, the wedding cakes prepared the day before yesterday, the firecracker incense case, the return gift, and gathered the people to divide the work one by one, and cleaned up the house inside and out, and dressed up the auspicious items and ornaments, and the whole house was full of joy.
This dowry has entered the house, and there have been special subordinates to conduct statistical induction and move. The surrounding neighbors heard this festive sound and hurriedly came to see the excitement, and for a time surrounded the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Steward Feng hurriedly invited people to go in to be happy, so he arranged to eat tea and enjoy the flowers in the flower viewing courtyard.
Because it is the emperor's marriage, the Guogong Mansion is very favored, this honor is not from the two concubines of the Guogong Mansion but the niece, this is also a topic that everyone is talking about, the common people's acceptance of auspiciousness is all exempted, recently King Ning directly hired, that is, the next time you can ask for the date, or the emperor directly let the Ministry of Rites designate the marriage date, a few days ago I felt that the Guogong Mansion was about to fall suddenly became the object of envy of the nobles in the capital.

The guests of this flower viewing courtyard listened to the long gift list in the front yard, and they were all dumbfounded, their eyes full of gold and silver, His Royal Highness King Ning was really generous. The crowd was not only envious, but also jealous.
Even the old lady and Zou were a little dizzy when they heard it, and Zou Yuan and Zou Luan were even more excited, and they already had these dowry ideas in their hearts.
After the gift list was read, Gonggong Xiao hurriedly took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Ye Shengfeng looked at Jiang Yu's face unchanged, his attitude was indifferent, and he asked flatteringly: "The princess is still satisfied, if there is anything to add, this king can be satisfied." ”
"Enough enough, enough enough, the prince's dowry is unparalleled in the world." Zou Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to talk, thinking that when the emperor married the queen, it was only 20,000 catties of silver and 10,000 catties of gold, and today's etiquette system is really getting more and more different, or is it that for the permission of His Royal Highness King Ning, Zou Yuan is already itching in his heart when he thinks of this white gold and silver.
King Ning glanced at him: "Hua Guogong doesn't have to be polite, after all, this is a dowry for the Jiang Mansion, and it is Jiang's mother who is not satisfied." His eyes turned to Zou Minlan.
Zou Minlan hurriedly nodded and thanked him: "Lord Wang's generous gifts, how dare you be dissatisfied." ”
King Ning looked at Jiang Yu again, and at this time, Jiang Yu also said lightly: "Didn't the prince just say that he could add more?" The little woman is welcome. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, Zou Xue'er's angry face behind the window turned green, thinking that this dowry was so rich and not satisfied, this woman was not only ruthless and scheming, but also insatiable, how could this King Ning be confused by her.
"The rain is rude." The old lady opened her mouth and shook her head slightly at Jiang Yu.
But Jiang Yu was encouraged by King Ning, so he got up and said solemnly: "What I want the prince to add is a promise, I, Jiang Yu, am not married to everyone, I just want to find a pair of white heads for a lifetime, can the prince achieve a pair of white heads for a lifetime?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the elders present were all stunned, and the old lady pinched a cold sweat, sure enough, this granddaughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp and her mother's temperament. It is normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the dignified His Royal Highness King Ning, and it is not as good as the group of wives and concubines in the palace, but it is absolutely impossible to marry only one wife. Now some people began to gossip, thinking that Jiang Yu's family affairs were weak, and he really raised his status after taking the entrance examination of the Guogong Mansion, otherwise how could he be worthy of His Royal Highness King Ning, who was high in the upper Yushu and had a noble status. also asked for no more concubines, which is simply a fool's dream.
When this request reached the Flower Appreciation Academy, everyone talked about it for a while, and they all accused Jiang Yu of not knowing how to lift.
Ye Shengfeng was stunned when he heard Jiang Yu say this, in fact, he knew that he had always been in the trouble of being a strongman, Jiang Yu's current identity must be something to do, and she must be upset when she is entangled with her. will definitely find ways to escape from marriage, and he must be mentally prepared for everything, he must chase after her, he must not let her get into danger, he has lost her once, and he must not lose her again.
