Chapter 69: Raising Makeup
The day when Cheng Yuanniang entered the door was approaching, and the Shizifu was busy.
Mr. Hu and his subordinates were busy, and Wu often came to check. Jian Ao is not a wife and concubine, but a concubine. Although the name has not yet been decided, who is the sister-in-law and who is the brother-in-law. But as a concubine, she came to help, and no one could fault it.
It's strange that Princess Cheng, who should have attached the most importance to this family matter, turned a blind eye to the marriage.
"Isn't it a dowry today, why haven't you seen anyone coming?" Wu asked Manager Hu.
Yesterday lay the formation, today raise the makeup, tomorrow the bride enters the door.
The mood of taking a concubine for her husband, she understands. But when I get married, I have really mixed feelings.
"It should be almost there." Mr. Hu said with a smiling face.
Wu Shi sank his face and said: "You are the chief manager of the Shizi Mansion, and you are also watching the marriage." Now tell me that it should, I'm fine, but if something goes wrong, Guo Changshi will skin you first. ”
There are rules for the prince to get married, and Princess Cheng didn't interfere, so Guo Changshi will take care of it. If you do the wrong errand for Princess Cheng, you can't afford to eat a board.
And if such a big thing as the prince greets his relatives goes wrong, Guo Changshi has the power to drive Mr. Hu out of the palace.
"The minion will send someone to take a look." Manager Hu said, and hurriedly sent the little eunuch to stare outside.
Wu helped Wen Xing into the new house, and the new house that had been laid out was like a sea of red.
The seven-room main hall, although the house has not been renovated, the furniture is fresh, and the woman is also carefully arranged, which is even more exquisite.
"Alas......"
With no one present, Wu sighed softly.
Although she is a concubine, Cheng Yuanniang is the princess and the second hostess of this palace. This main house is much more magnificent than the warm incense dock where I live.
Although she is also a wife, she is righted in the side room. Cheng Yuanniang is sitting in a big red sedan chair, and a famous media is marrying.
Compared with the two sides, her uprightness seems to be unjustifiable.
"The dowry is coming......"
With the shouting of the mother-in-law, it became lively outside.
Wu looked out of the window and saw a brightly dressed little guy carrying a cage into the door.
The prince hired 20,000 silver, and the princess raised a dowry of 120, which is the rule of writing death. The 20,000 silver hired must be a lot, and as for the 120 dowry, whether it is real or false depends on the conscience of the mother's family.
"The Cheng family married 40,000 silver, which can be regarded as rich." Wen Xing whispered.
Cheng Yuanniang's dowry list has already spread in the mansion, although the Pingyuan Hou Mansion is a century-old family, but he can give his daughter a dowry of 40,000 silver, which is also a rich and loving daughter.
"The Cheng family, there is still some money." Wu said, his tone inevitably sour.
The only thing her mother can provide her with is silver, and money is her only bargaining chip.
Now that Cheng Yuanniang is here, she also has a rich mother's family, although her advantage is not less, it is no longer an advantage.
"The princess of the county doesn't have to worry too much, I inquired, this Miss Cheng is spoiled by Mrs. Cheng, naïve and stupid." Wen Xing said.
It's not difficult to inquire about Cheng Yuanniang, just ask Xu Mei. They are cousins and cousins, and Xu Mei is a fool, and it is very simple to inquire about things.
According to Xu Mei, they have been since childhood. Friendship, the relationship is very deep.
In terms of Xu Mei's EQ and IQ, she is really good friends with her, this Cheng Yuanniang is not a fool but also a fool.
"I don't know what kind of room Mrs. Cheng will arrange for her." Wu said to himself a little.
The young lady may not have any scheming, but in the case of Yanwangfu, Mrs. Cheng will inevitably marry a few henchmen.
The mother-in-law in the backyard of the Hou Mansion is accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, and the old way is difficult, and it is the most difficult to deal with.
"The dowry is all here, please count it." The mother-in-law of the Cheng family said to Manager Hu.
The dowry list has been brought a long time ago, but after the dowry is brought to the husband's family, it must be counted by the husband's family before it is put into the warehouse. The more the dowry, the more so, to avoid ripping up later.
"Sister-in-law is too careful." Manager Hu said with a smile, "Where will the dowry from the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion be less?" ”
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "That's the rule." ”
After a few words, Manager Hu took someone to count. If the dowry of the princess goes wrong and is torn up in the future, he, the chief manager, will definitely be unlucky.
Wu looked at it in the house, with mixed feelings.
Wen Xing said in a low voice: "Do you want to ......?"
When you lift your makeup, you will inevitably be busy, and you can still succeed in taking the opportunity to do something. Although it can't do big things, it can also add to Cheng Yuanniang's blockage.
"Inconsequential little troubles only lead to suspicion." Wu said, "If you want to do it, you can get it with one blow." ”
Cheng Yuanniang's biggest threat to her is not in grace, but in children. In contrast, making a little bit of a move when lifting makeup is a small thing.
If only there was a way, it would be good if Cheng Yuanniang couldn't give birth.
"The slave is confused." Wen Xing hurriedly said.
Wu said: "Go and inquire, which is the bride-in-law arranged by the Cheng family." ”
"Yes." Wen Xing bowed her head in response.
Wu looked at the red room and looked at the dowry piled up outside, feeling more and more upset, and said, "Let's go." ”
"Yes."
Wen Xing responded and helped Wu to leave.
In the front study, Qixia entered the West Wing as usual, as long as Han Rong went out, she would definitely come to Shen Xiu to talk.
There is no conflict of interest, and Shen Xiu has a gentle temperament. Although you can't take advantage of it, it's good to have someone who can talk in this deep mansion compound.
"Forty thousand silver dowry, it's really a young lady." Qixia said sourly.
This is the reincarnation, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, married into the palace as the princess, and was born different from these slaves.
"Speaking of which, what kind of room are you?" Shen Xiu asked.
Under normal circumstances, the concubine is automatically counted as the person who is the main mother. But Han Xiao married two wives, if he married, it would definitely be his own house.
Otherwise, if you live in Nuanxiangwu, you must be a member of the Wu family. Qixia has been living in the study in front of the prince's mansion, and the Wu family has ignored her and has never had the intention of wooing.
In this case, Qixia can choose her own mother.
"Me?" Qixia was stunned for a moment, "I'm from the study." ”
Shen Xiu was a little speechless when she heard this, generally speaking, the front study does not belong to the backyard, and the girl in the front study does not have to go to the backyard to wait for the housewife.
But there is an important problem with the two main mothers in front of them. Qixia is a favored concubine, if she is pregnant, which room is the child?
"Since I live in the Shizi Mansion, I should be regarded as the person of the Shizi Princess." Qixia said unsurely.
Since she lives in Shizifu, she should be regarded as Cheng Yuanniang's person, she has always been very nervous, for fear of being greedy for a powerful housewife.
Shen Xiu thought about it, and still asked directly: "Didn't the princess of the county look for you?" ”
lived in the front study together, and Qixia kept saying that she knew Han Xiao a little bit.
Since moving into the Shizi Mansion, Han Xiao has been busy with official business. King Yan is paralyzed, and the new prince enters the mansion, and there must be a lot of affairs.
There are too many official duties, and Han Xiao has less time to spoil women, although Qixia has no status, she is the only favored woman in this back house, and more importantly, she did not drink the soup of avoiding children.
"Nope." Qixia said, "Although the princess of the county is generous, she is not just someone who gives money. ”
The Wu family is a mess of money, but no matter how messy it is, it has a bit of a purpose, and the Wu family doesn't see much of it in her eyes when it comes to a room like her.
"......" Shen Xiu didn't know what to say.
Qixia has always had such a character, although she likes to take advantage of small advantages, but she is really not smart.
It's strange that the Wu family, when Han Xiao has no heirs and the hostess of another room enters the door again, he didn't win over the favored Tongfang in advance.
If Qixia is really pregnant and gives birth to a child, but Cheng Yuanniang takes the child away, Wu should cry.
"A room like me is no better than a girl." Qixia said, discouraged in her voice.
In a room like her, Han Xiao has not ten but eight, and the best one at present is Bai Lu.
Stay in the house as a small steward, although you can't manage many things, but there is always a place to live.
She has been favored for a long time, and she is often worried. In case Han Xiao instructs one day, I don't like this girl anymore, so send it away.
Although when she was sent away, she would not be allowed to leave empty-handed, her own things could be taken away, and she would give another sum of money, but she was reluctant.
It's not that I can't bear Han Xiao, but I can't bear the life of Yan Wangfu. Out of the house, most of the life is unsatisfactory.
Being able to marry a lover with money and live a small rich civilian life is the best ending.
More often than not, they are sold to other families by their families, and then there are those who are unlucky and cheated out of money. In contrast, the comfortable life of the palace is really in heaven.
"There will always be a way out." Shen Xiu said, but he didn't have much confidence.
has been a girl for four years, and she is still working as a girl.
A girl from a poor background and only a beautiful girl, it is really difficult to have a good result.
The two were talking, only to see footsteps outside, the person who carried the makeup just now came, and now it is time for the dowry to be put into storage, and the Cheng family should go back.
"With so much dowry, I can't eat and wear it for the rest of my life." Qixia muttered.
Shen Xiu looked out through the window, for such a big thing as raising makeup, Mrs. Cheng would definitely arrange a reliable mother-in-law, most likely of whom was from Zhou Xi's family.
Mrs. Cheng is the most trusted and capable person around her. Based on Cheng Yuanniang's situation, Mrs. Cheng may arrange for her to be a dowry, so I don't know if Zhou Xi's family is willing or not.
Most of the Cheng family's subordinates saw her, and I believe that after Cheng Yuanniang entered the door, her identity could not be hidden.
But it doesn't matter, at most it will make trouble about her identity as an official slave. Cheng Shaomu just knew, and it wouldn't be good.
"I don't know if the dowry girl is here, there will definitely be a few beautiful girls." Qixia said.
Generally speaking, the dowry girl is also part of the dowry. Some came with the young lady, and some came with the dowry.
There are already a bunch of girls in the palace, and there is another wife, with a bunch of beautiful ones, and she has no place to stand in this room.
Someone will inform her tomorrow that she will be sent away.
"The dowry girl must not be ugly." Shen Xiu said.
Cheng Yuanniang originally had two beautiful girls by her side, which was arranged by Mrs. Cheng.
Now it's marrying into the Yanwang Mansion with a complicated situation, and I have to bring it with me.
