Chapter 269: Hiring
"Father, my son reminds you again, this General Xiao is not very easy to mess with, you must not do anything crooked, it is very ugly to provoke him and make a commotion." Han Yixuan took out the future father-in-law and kindly reminded his father, and successfully saw his father's hand holding the pen, and a big ink dot was left on the paper. He was secretly happy in his heart: it turned out that the old man's name was so easy to use, and he could scare his father with his tiger skin in the future.
After Han Yixuan's continuous shouting and scare, the Wing King finally came up with some blood, returned most of the private property that he had taken from Han Yixuan's mother, and added some private houses to it. Looking at the dense words on the gift list, Han Yixuan showed a satisfied smile, while the Wing King darkened his face and threw the gift list to him angrily.
November 28 is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the Yiwang Mansion officially hired General Xiao's Mansion. The hired team walked mightily on the streets of the capital, and all kinds of gift boxes, cloths, and ornaments generally entered General Xiao's mansion, so that the people who watched the excitement couldn't help but be shocked, I didn't expect the king of wings to be so generous, and the dowry of a concubine was so much, it seems that the king of wings attaches great importance to this future daughter-in-law.
This time, the dowry gift was given by Sun Duan, the father of the Ministry of Rites, who was also the matchmaker invited by the Yiwang Mansion. This is the first time Xiao Ruyu has seen Gongsun Jie, and I feel that he is somewhat similar to Gongsun Duan, but he is much more serious than Gongsun Duan, and his every move is quite literati. He has always admired the difference between grandson and concubine, and he doesn't pay much attention to Gongsun Duan, but he is not as eccentric as King Yi, and what should be given to Gongsun Duan has never been left behind, which is already rare for Gongsun Duan.
This time he didn't want to be a matchmaker for a concubine, but he didn't dare to say anything when the wing king ordered him, so he had to come reluctantly, but he didn't expect the wing king to give this concubine so many things, it was really not his style.
He politely greeted General Xiao, presented the dowry list, and then sat in the living room drinking tea and waited for the return gift and dowry list from the General's Mansion.
Xiao Ruyu didn't expect the Wing King to give so many dowry gifts, seeing Han Yixuan pulling her through the piles of gift boxes with a smug face, she really didn't care how many things they gave, the most important thing was that the two of them could be together, and that was enough.
"Yixuan, I dare to say that your father's heart is dripping blood now, do you believe it or not?" Seeing General Xiao looking at the gift list with a smile, Xiao Ruyu whispered to Han Yixuan.
"It must be, not only the father, but also the princess and the son, are dripping blood." Han Yixuan raised his head and carefully glanced at General Xiao before answering in a low voice. Thinking of the situation of moving the dowry from home this morning, he felt ridiculous, and Princess Yi even wanted to make a final struggle to prevent him from hiring, but he was slapped by his father before turning around and going back to the house angrily, but looking at her gritted teeth, she would not give up in the future, and she had to settle the account on Ruyu.
The prince of Yiwang was even more unwilling to say sour words, he sarcastically asked him to marry a village girl and enter the door, he was really a little sorry for his identity as the son of Yixuan in the capital. However, because it was the emperor's grandfather who gave him the marriage, he didn't dare to say anything excessive, but just said that the emperor's grandfather was really a saint, and he knew that such a woman was worthy of him.
Han Yixuan was happy in his heart, and he had to pretend to be helpless to accept his fate on his face, and replied coldly, "What the prince said is right." Then he ignored him, and the angry son almost jumped to his feet.
"Good job, boy." General Xiao is also very satisfied with the dowry, originally Han Yixuan secretly gave a lot, knowing that his identity is embarrassing, he didn't have much hope for the dowry, I didn't expect this kid to be able to pull out so many things from the old thing of the Wing King, it was very good, at least Siyu and his face looked a lot better.
He asked Mingchun to start writing his daughter's dowry list, most of the fields in the capital and the shops under his name were written in it, he was not good at management, and he didn't have much money left, except for subsidizing his subordinates and the house, the rest was given to his daughter.
"Dad, don't need so much, I have money." Xiao Ruyu saw that her father gave her the most profitable shops and hurriedly stopped her, and the money in her hand could buy half of the capital, and she really didn't need her father to bleed again. Her father doesn't know how to operate, and his subordinates need him to subsidize a lot, although she has done a lot better, according to her father's temper, there will be a lot of things to spend in the future, and she doesn't want to embarrass her father.
"I don't want the Xiao family medicine workshop or the Xiao family embroidery workshop. Count me as honoring you. Xiao Ruyu pointed to the dowry list and said.
"How's that going to work? This is what you prescribed, and it has to be given to you. "General Xiao doesn't do it, don't say anything else, these two shops are his daughter's hard work, and he Xiao Zhongjing can't rob his daughter's things no matter how useless he is.
"Hey, you're still polite to me, so let's do it, you give me a 10% profit from these two shops every month, and the rest is considered my filial piety to you, it's all right." Seeing that her father was still shaking his head, she whispered in his ear and said, "I'm leaving a way back for myself, in case I can't stay in the Yiwang Mansion, I kick that kid, and I still have food when I come back, right?" ”
"What nonsense." General Xiao glared at her, glanced at Han Yixuan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, this is for you." ”
"And these." Xiao Ruyu swiped her finger on the list, "Don't want any of these." Seeing that her father was anxious, he hurriedly reassured: "Don't be anxious with me, this is left for your grandson, you take it well, and when we have a child, you can leave it to him." "Han Yixuan said that if she let her first son take her father's surname, then this child will be eligible to inherit her father's things, what if she takes all her father's old books?
"You're right, it's for my grandson." When General Xiao thought of his grandson's eyes, he happily carved out the dowry. In the end, General Xiao brought back the dowry list to Han Yixuan, and the Yiwang was very satisfied, it seems that Xiao Zhongjing really treats this goddaughter as his own daughter, and gives so many dowries, he is about to catch up with the county lord, yes, the more he gives, the more he attaches importance to this daughter, and the closer the relationship with their Yiwang Mansion becomes, this is indeed an unexpected joy.
Now that the dowry has been given, and the matchmaker has been found, I will wait until the day to get married. He asked the princess to send someone to clean up Wenxi's yard, how could she have a marriage, but Princess Yi complained a lot about Han Yixuan, and this time she was distressed to take out so many dowry gifts, and she was sulking at this time and said that she didn't care about anything, there was no way, he could only ask the housekeeper Han Zhong to help clean it up, if he was missing, he came to him and said, thinking of the real military power in General Xiao's hands, he carefully instructed him again, you must do it decently, don't be afraid of spending money, and make sure that this Miss Xiao can't make a mistake.
General Xiao was very polite to him in the court, this was a popular man in the hands of his father, and with his support in the future, he was one step closer to that position.
"By the way, is the second son's wedding dress ready?" The Winged King suddenly remembered and asked. It is said that the princess should ask about this matter, but he, the princess, should save it, so he can only ask by himself.
"My subordinates have asked the second son, and I heard that his wedding dress is made by the Xiao family's embroidery workshop, and he will go to get it the day before he gets married." Han Zhong said.
"Well, this is good, the Xiao family embroidery workshop is exquisite, and the wedding clothes they make must be good. By the way, this embroidery workshop is a shop under Xiao Zhongjing's name, so we shouldn't have to pay for the wedding dress, right? It's a pity that it wasn't put in the dowry, otherwise we can save the money for making clothes in the palace in the future. The Wing King said with some pity.
Han Zhong crooked his mouth on the side, the prince is really good at calculating, and now the girl has not yet entered the door and has begun to calculate the dowry of other people, do you really think that General Xiao is easy to bully? He heard that the goddaughter split a stone lion in front of the door of Renhe Hall, did the prince think that his head was harder than that stone lion?
Yes, the prince is a nobleman of the heavenly family, but there are indeed many such nobles now, and the emperor is not very rare. To tell the truth, if General Xiao really beats the prince, the emperor will only calm things down, and the prince's plan is to suffer in vain, I don't know why the prince can't see the situation clearly, and he is so smug.
The capital is already in a mess, the King of Qi is in prison, the King of Ping is far away in the fief, the power of the British King has been taken away, and now the most proud of the capital is the prince. At this time, the prince must not make a wrong step to leave a bad impression on the emperor, otherwise King An under the prince will have a chance to come out.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have to remind you that this is a critical time, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds. For General Xiao, he can only win over and must not be offended. Han Zhong said sincerely.
"You still need to say it." King Yi glared at him dissatisfied, Xiao Zhongjing's name was like thunder, and the most regrettable thing now was that Wen Xi's daughter-in-law was not his biological daughter, even if it was a concubine, it was better than a goddaughter. You must know that the blood relationship is continuous, and this kind of recognition of the relatives is said to be thrown away.
Now that Xiao Zhongjing has no biological children, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have them in the future, if he has his own children, he can continue to treat the goddaughter he recognized halfway as his own daughter, who can he deceive? Take himself as an example, they are all his sons, and the concubine is not the same as the concubine, not to mention outsiders who are not related by blood.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand a little disappointed, "Forget it, let him go." "While he doesn't have any children of his own now, they will make some benefits for the Yiwang Mansion first, and in case he Xiao Zhongjing and Lao Beng Shengzhu are born in the future, he will find another way. It's hard to find people like Shennong Villa who are stupid and have a lot of money, but it's still okay to find a few rich squires and daughters for Wenxi as concubines.
