There was silence in the inner hall of the west courtyard of the Huainan Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Cheng sat on the upper seat and looked at Cheng Mo, who was usually silent, her brows furrowed tightly, and she asked Mao's instead: "How are Erlang's marriage preparations?" That's a marriage, and you can't be sloppy according to the rules. ”

Although Mao was not satisfied with this marriage, he was unwilling to wronged his son, and after marrying Cheng Mo, he wholeheartedly arranged the marriage for Cheng Mu, and when he heard Mrs. Cheng ask, he said with a smile: "I have prepared a dowry list, and I will send it to the county lord's mansion and the Ministry of Rites in two days." ”

Mrs. Cheng snorted, and then admonished: "The county lord of Leyang has a valuable identity, but she must not make any mistakes, she is not one of those ordinary backgrounds who have no head and no face, and she must not be neglected!" ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Mo, but Cheng Mo didn't seem to hear it.

However, Cheng Feng frowned, glanced at Mao, Mao knew that this son couldn't say such a thing anyway, if Cheng Mo didn't like it, wouldn't this marriage be yellow, and said with a smile: "These two marriages in our family are good, I see that Mrs. Xiao is also outstanding, virtuous and dignified, otherwise how would Princess Yingchuan be close to her, and she will be filial to the old lady when she enters the door in the future." ”

Old Madam Cheng pursed her lips, knowing what Cheng Feng and his wife meant, so she didn't say this anymore, and instead asked about Cheng Mo's new errand: "...... Go to the eldest grandson of the emperor to be a riding and archery master, this is also His Royal Highness the Prince's promotion of you, you have to cherish your blessings, and do things according to His Royal Highness the Prince's orders, but you can't lose face to the Hou Mansion again! ”

Cheng Mo raised his eyes at this time, and said to Mrs. Cheng with a smile: "What the old lady said is, it's just that I have always been a lazy person, I'm afraid I can't afford such a burden, it's better for me to go to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recommend the prince, his riding and archery skills are also good, and the eldest grandson of the Pope is more than enough, and he won't lose the face of the Hou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Cheng was choked by him, she couldn't speak for a long time, her face turned a little blue, Mao was even more startled, and hurriedly said: "No, how can Mu Lang ......?"

She was really afraid that Cheng Mo, a willful and willful man, really went to the East Palace to recommend Cheng Mu, and the eldest grandson of the emperor was now no one dared to get close to him, lest he would be implicated in the future, how could Cheng Mu go to him as a riding and archery master.

Cheng Feng still held his breath and frowned: "At this time, it is His Majesty's royal approval, how can I follow your nonsense, if it is spread out, it will not be rebellious!" ”

Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that this matter was already a certainty, and it was her own concern that was messed up.

Cheng Mo sneered and got up: "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, I'm afraid that staying here to eat will make my grandmother angry." ”

After that, he pulled out his legs and went out, leaving Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Feng and his wife in the inner hall.

Mrs. Cheng was so angry that it took a long time to recover, and she asked the maid to rub her chest for herself, and said to Cheng Feng: "You see, this is the rebellious and unfilial person who was saved by the Langya Cheng family at the beginning, and it is indeed the son of Cheng Yue's lowly concubine!" It's always a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised! ”

Cheng Feng whispered comfortingly: "A-Niang don't be angry, I think Wulang is just confused for a while, and he doesn't mean to contradict you." ”

Mao on the side personally got up and poured tea for Mrs. Cheng: "Wulang now has an errand and has a four-grade job vacancy in the Chongwen Pavilion, this is a happy event, it is inevitable that he will be arrogant, and it will be good to get married. ”

Old Madam Cheng was even more angry when she heard this: "He just got an errand, and there is no one in his eyes like this, and I am afraid that in the future, I will not know the height of the sky!" ”

Mao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and did not say any more, but smiled and instructed the maidservant: "Go and see if the prince has returned home, if he comes back, let him come and talk to the old lady." ”

Cheng Mo walked out of the West Courtyard, his face was pale, he didn't care about Fang Cai, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, Fugui waited outside the gate of the West Courtyard for a while, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly followed: "Lang Jun, the stewards everywhere are already waiting." ”

Cheng Mo ordered Fugui a few days ago, so that the stewards of all the Zhuangzi shops and transactions in his hands would come to the East Courtyard to see him today, even if it was Luoyang and Fengxiang, they would rush over.

Cheng Mo snorted and strode towards the East Courtyard.

The people who stood in the flower hall were all silent, no one dared to ask more, no one knew what Lang Jun was doing when they asked them to come over, they all hung their hands neatly and waited, without the slightest look of anxiety and curiosity on their faces.

After Cheng Mo came in, he looked at them like this, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sit down." ”

After the stewards all sat down, he didn't say much, but just asked them to come forward one by one to reply, telling them how their livelihood was now, whether it was a profit or a loss, and if it was, he had to explain the reason.

The stewards were nervous for a moment, and did not dare to slack off and step forward one by one to reply, and he sat down at the seat and did not speak, but listened.

It wasn't until dozens of stewards finished talking that he slowly spoke, but he instructed Fugui: "Just choose five shops in Chang'an Dong City, two Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs, and three hundred acres of Tianzi fields in Fengxiang Mansion." ”

Fugui said in astonishment: "But these places are the best livelihoods, that is, there is no better one in our hands." ”

Not to mention the high-quality rice planted in the 300 acres of Tianzi fields in Fengxiang Mansion, that is, the five shops in Chang'an East City are connected together, all of which are in the best location, and the money rented out every year is more than a thousand gold, and the eastern suburbs are all Huangzhuang, where the Zhuangzi is even more priceless, and these things have to be sent to Xiao Mansion as a dowry!

Cheng Mo smiled: "If you want the best, you should send it over." ”

He has a lot of business in his hands, but most of them are prepared for the future, not to make money, so he wants to pick the best to send over, after all, the kitten with teeth and claws is very insecure, what he has to do is to give her the best, let her let down her guard with peace of mind, put away her sharp little paws, and live a stable life.

As for the wind and waves outside, he will block them for her.

Fugui had no choice but to smack his lips, nodded his head, and instructed the stewards of these places: "When the ceremony is over, you will follow me to the Xiao Mansion in Shengye Fang to see Mrs. Xiao." ”

After seeing all the stewards, Cheng Mo instructed Laifu: "Take the dowry list prepared by the West Courtyard and I'll take a look." ”

According to the rules, these things should be decided by the elders, although the Mao family can't be the master of the East Courtyard, but he took the dowry list for Cheng Mo as an aunt, so that people could send it to Cheng Mo for a look.

Fugui sent a list and stepped forward, muttering in a low voice: "Look at this posture, I'm afraid it's even more generous than marrying a relative in the West Courtyard." ”

He has seen the dowry list on both sides, but the list in the east courtyard is more extravagant and luxurious, you must know that the west courtyard is a marriage, and the one who married is still the county lord, it can be seen that the Mao family did it deliberately.

It's just that he didn't expect that Cheng Mo took the list and looked at it a few times, but frowned: "It's too sloppy." ”

But it was a lot more than the order, Fugui held the list, and couldn't speak for a long time, when did Lang Jun become a boy who scattered wealth, so generous, usually he even had to care about stealing a piece of jujube cake, it's really weird!
