Chapter 060: Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 060 Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Wang Qifang is busy here, and no one else is idle.

The first one who was very busy was Xiao Zheng, the head of the Wang family, who originally had a big business and a lot of things in the house. This time there was a happy event again, Xiao Zheng was busy with the daily housekeeping of the Wang family for a while, and was busy receiving guests who came to congratulate him for a while, busy like a spinning top, from morning to night without touching the ground.

These trivial things are easy to do, after all, there are old rules put there, and Xiao Zheng only needs to follow the rules to order people to run errands.

Only Wang Qifang's dowry made Xiao Zheng's family really embarrassed. Although Wang Qifang is married for the second time, she can't stand the fact that she has married a good husband, so this dowry can't be too shabby.

Otherwise, it would be small to lose the face of the Wang family, and it would be bad for the in-laws to mistakenly think that the Wang family did not take their Li family in their eyes.

Therefore, according to the old practice of the public school, it is definitely not possible to buy a dowry for Wang Qifang. Under normal circumstances, for a girl of a family like Wang Qifang, her mother will help her accumulate a dowry since she was a child, after all, really good wood, cloth and jewelry are hard to come by, and they all rely on years of accumulation.

Wang Qifang lost her mother when she was a child, and her stepmother was mean, and she even lost most of the dowry left by her deceased mother, where is there any surplus?

But if he didn't follow the old practice and took the money from the public middle school to give Wang Qifang a dowry, Xiao Zheng was worried that the little ladies in other houses would not be convinced.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth, took out part of the dowry he had saved for his daughter, and added makeup to Wang Qifang in the name of his aunt.

Of course, Xiao Zheng is a shrewd person and will never do a loss-making business. The matter of her adding makeup to Wang Qifang reached the ears of the old lady and Wang Qifang as soon as possible.

When the old lady heard the news, she didn't say anything, but just let her maid take the key to open her private vault, selected some jewelry and ornaments from her dowry, and ordered someone to send them to Wang Qifang.

With the old lady's demonstration, the elders and female dependents of the other rooms of the Wang family began to take action, adding a piece of porcelain, sending a set of ancient books, and in a few days, Wang Qifang made up a dowry of sixty-four lifts.

Wang Qifang was very surprised by everyone's initiative to add makeup, she was not without money to buy a dowry, and there was no shortage of jewelry or anything. She saved all the jewelry and jewelry she wanted back from the Zheng family for her two daughters as dowries, and she didn't think about keeping them for herself.

It's not that Wang Qifang doesn't pay attention to this family affair, but she thinks that she can make money, and Li Jingtian is not a pedantic person, so there is no need to rely on dowry to support the façade and supplement the family.

Wang Qifang's thoughts, others don't understand, especially Wang Jinyu, after seeing her sister's shabby dowry, she was very guilty.

Ten years ago, when Xiaomei got married for the first time, Wang Jinyu received an order from the Chivalrous League to develop her power everywhere in the name of study tours, but she didn't have time to come back to help Xiaomei support her, so that Xiaomei was desolate and desolate and married into the Zhao family with a flashy dowry.

Now, Wang Jinyu has returned with a successful career, the Zheng family is also dead, and the younger sister is married to his friend as his wife, how can he tolerate his sister going to Pingzhou with an even more shabby dowry? is only sixty-four years old, not to mention the noble daughter of the family, even the ordinary petty officials and small officials will not be so shabby when they marry a daughter.

Because the dowry is not only about the face of the Wang family, but also directly affects the status of her sister after marrying into the Li family. The Li family is a famous family, there are many clansmen, hundreds of people up and down, it is inevitable that there will be a snobbish and rich villain, if the younger sister is looked down upon by the in-laws because of the shabby dowry, wouldn't he be ashamed to death as the only brother?

After reading the list of dowries, and without waiting to say hello to Wang Qifang, Wang Jinyu hurriedly returned to the courtyard, and after discussing with his wife, he picked out some antiques, clothes, porcelain and jade that were not on the list, and sent people to Pingzhou overnight to buy two good Zhuangzi, which was enough for thirty-two lifts.

However, Wang Jinyu was still not satisfied, rubbed his chin and walked around the room for a long time, frowned, thought about it, laughed twice, turned around and came to the desk, and wrote a letter to Tie Chu in the capital.

"You kid originally designed my Qi Niang to get on the thief ship, so Qi Niang was the 'God of Wealth' for three years, took the risk to do so many transactions, and helped the Xia Ke League accumulate a large amount of money, but she didn't save half of the money herself, and she couldn't even buy a decent dowry. Hmph, if you don't let your kid have some blood, God won't agree! ”

Wang Jinyu muttered fiercely as he wrote, and after a short time he finished writing the letter, he called the carrier pigeon and sent the letter out.

The iron protector, who was also shot while lying down, was speechless after reading Wang Jinyu's letter and the list of items listed.

Well, well, even if he cheated Mrs. Wang back then, he finally achieved a happy marriage between the boss and her. He Tie Chu is at least a matchmaker, even if he doesn't get any thanks, he can't be slaughtered as a fat sheep, right?!

And most importantly, he has no money!

With Wang Jinyu's letter and list in hand, Tie Chu came to the Guogong Mansion with a shy face.

Li Jingtian had just sent someone to send his parents and the clansmen who had been pressed into Beijing home, and he was busy dealing with the trivial matters left over from Beijing, striving to make proper arrangements as soon as possible, so that he could rush home to complete the marriage.

Just when Li Jingtian was busy in the dark, Tie Chu came up with a smile, rubbed his hands, and looked obscene, "Boss, are you busy?" ”

Li Jingtian gave him two big white eyes, nonsense!

"Well, there's something I want you to do me a favor with." As soon as Tie Chu saw that the boss's face was not good, he knew that he had come at the wrong time, but since he had already come, he couldn't return in vain. He continued to accompany the smiling face, and chirped: "What, isn't the boss going to get married at the end of the month, the younger one has followed the boss for more than ten years, just like a brother, you, the boss, want to get married, and I can't be a brother-"

Li Jingtian didn't raise his head, and interrupted coldly: "Let's talk about the point!" ”

"Hehe, the point is, can the boss 'borrow' a small thirty or forty thousand taels of silver? 20,000 is also possible, and the minimum cannot be less than 10,000 taels! ”

Tie Chu is very single, and he said with a grin.

"Thirty, forty thousand taels?" Li Jingtian finally raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said coldly: "You and I are the one who opened a bank?" It can't be less than 10,000 taels? What are you going to do with all that money? Gambling debts or prostitution debts? ”

Tie Chu was unceremoniously counted down by his own boss, but he was not angry, he suppressed his smile, put on a bitter and hateful look, and handed the letter and list in his hand to Li Jingtian, "Look, Mo Yan asked me to help buy the dowry, and also noted that the things should not be too bad, boss, you also know, how can the small one have silver?" …… Besides, I'm not a young woman to marry a lady, why do you want me to pay? ”

After reading the letter, Li Jingtian also took a look. Then he heard Tie Chu's pitiful words, when he heard the first half of the sentence, Li Jingtian still felt that his subordinates were indeed a little innocent, but when Tie Chu's words were finished, Li Jingtian couldn't help but glance at him, and scolded secretly, "This kid is obviously here to make me pay for it, and he is so pitiful." ”

However, Li Jingtian did not refuse, but sat on the chair with the letter and the list and sent it for a while. 'Oh, why did I forget about this?', patting his forehead vigorously, Li Jingtian suddenly remembered Wang Qifang's situation and the three chapters of the covenant he had signed.

At that time, Wang Qifang said very clearly, all the property in her name was left to her three children. With no money in hand, what will Qi Niang use to buy a dowry? Rely on the Wang family?

Li Jingtian shook his head, he still had a letter written by Wang Jinyu on behalf of Wang Mingchuan in his drawer, with such an elder, Qi Niang's situation in the Wang family can be imagined.

And the situation of the Li family, Li Jingtian also knows that his mother didn't like Qi Niang originally, if there are any clansmen who talk about the dowry and deliberately provoke trouble, then Qi Niang ......

Since he promised to make Qi Niang happy, then he should do it.

Li Jingtian came to the inner room, took out a locked box from the cabinet, unlocked it, took out a few silver tickets, and handed them to Tie Chu along with the list: "This is 50,000 taels of silver, you will send someone to buy things according to the list now." Remember, don't worry about money, things should be the best! ”

Seeing that Li Jingtian said it so seriously, Tie Chu also put away Fang Cai's joke, took the silver and the list, and said: "Don't worry, boss, Mrs. Wang has helped us so much, and the brothers below will remember it in their hearts, and they will never let Mrs. lose face because of the dowry." ”

In the following days, several wealthy merchants in the capital found that a large number of knights with swords suddenly appeared in their own shops. Of course, people are not here to fight, let alone make trouble, but to buy things, and they buy extremely expensive luxuries.

Soon after, news came out that the people in the capital knew that Mrs. Zhongyi was going to marry at the end of this month. For ordinary people, this news is just an extra piece of talk in their spare time. And those who had dealt with Mrs. Wang heard the news and took action.

After the Beijing suburb industrial park was donated to the imperial court by Wang Qifangle, it was renamed the Royal Industrial Park, and the workers in the industrial park were still the original women's army, after they heard that Mrs. Wang was going to get married, they couldn't help but think of the kindness of Mrs. Wang, and at the suggestion of several older sisters, everyone decided to make a few clothes for Mrs. Wang, and the right to make a congratulatory gift.

Then there is the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, Haicheng Grain Bank, Qingzhou Qian's Shoe Village......

I don't know when it began, teams of carriages poured into the Qing Garden from all directions, crossed the street under the speculative eyes of the people, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Wang family.

“…… Four seasons clothes, shoes and socks, door curtains, curtains, pillows, pillows......"

Xiao Zheng helped Wang Qifang count the things sent from everywhere, and while keeping accounts, he was secretly surprised: God, where did Wang Qiniang make so many friends, and sent so many things, look at this fabric, this embroidery, far better than the professional embroidery of the needlework shop, and more importantly, these things seem to be custom-made, the size is appropriate, the color is also festive, and the style is more complete than the dowry prepared by the Wang family for Qi Niang temporarily.
