Chapter 440: Losing Face and Bravely Entering the Green Building
The two families talked about marriage, of course, the matchmaker invited by Yu Dong had to discuss the dowry and dowry with the woman in advance, and the stack of splendid and dazzling gift lists prepared by Xiao Xie's had already been noticed by Huang Sanye and the third wife, of course, the couple couldn't help but be overjoyed, and sealed a full red seal to the official media - although Qi Niang's dowry was funded by the public middle school, but the dowry was only returned to each room, which was also a general practice, and would not change with the increase or decrease of the public middle school's preparation for marriage. There is only one uncle who is the owner of the local seven grades, the dowry is not rich, and he has already been defeated by the third master.
Even Huang Jiangyue saw it, and also felt high-spirited - this is the benefit of marrying into the clan, Liu Niang was married at the beginning, and she was also a famous family, and the bride price was only 10,000 taels of silver, even if the dowry was prepared by the man, it was all exquisite and valuable, at most it was worth 30,000 or 20,000, which could compare to her 100,000 yuan.
Since Wu Niang died of illness and Liu Niang returned from Cangzhou, her attitude towards Huang Jiangyue has changed to very cold, and Huang Jiangyue has long been indignant - when I marry into the clan, it will be such a scenery again, see if you dare to show off your power in front of me in the future?
The third wife was overjoyed, and suddenly thought of Jiang Yue's dowry, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Hou to discuss: "The dowry prepared by Second Master Yu is so rich, how can you still get the dowry according to the customary mile, I don't have to wait for you to go out of the pavilion and be looked down upon by your husband's family, I will go to find my sister-in-law and show her this gift list, but let her prepare to buy it." ”
was pulled by Huang Jiangyue's sleeves: "Why is A-Niang so confused!" The dowry belongs to us, how can the public middle school add makeup to it in vain, when the sixth sister gets married, it is only 30,000 makeup, and the uncle is willing to let me take the 100,000 property of the Houfu out of the cabinet? ”
The third lady became anxious: "Then what should I do?" When you arrived, my sister-in-law gave me 20,000 taels of silver, preparing those furniture, clothing and jewelry, even if it was decided, some grange shops would be allocated, and it was estimated that it would not exceed the precedent of Liuniang, but now the dowry of the palace is so rich, you will take these to marry, will you not be looked down upon in the future? When Jing Yatou got married, it was ten miles of red makeup, I heard that there were tens of thousands of dollars in the box alone, and the first ruyi with red gold and jade was a reward from the Queen Mother, how many people's eyes were spent, not to mention those industries, we don't know how much, your dowry is so simple, not to mention that you can't raise your head in front of Jing Yatou in the future, and will be underestimated by your in-laws, even if outsiders look at it, you must not be criticized, how will you go out to socialize in the future, this dowry list can be sent to the official office and the Zongren Mansion for the record, how can there be an impermeable wall......"
Huang Jiangyue smiled lightly: "A-Niang is in a hurry, we are not separated at this time, I still have to marry from the waiting house, people will not single out the three rooms to criticize, only you are anxious to inform the eldest aunt, she will also take the example to reason, let us make up for it, we have so much wealth?" When the royal dowry is carried into the door, the official media will naturally discuss the marriage with the Houfu, in front of outsiders, even if the eldest aunt is unwilling, the grandmother will see the reputation of the Houfu damaged? As long as the grandmother spoke, the uncle did not dare to disobey, those furniture were prepared in the morning, and there was no way to buy them in a hurry. ”
Seeing that her mother was still hesitating, Huang Jiangyue sighed: "The sixth sister doesn't know why, she was suspicious of us early in the morning, it didn't matter at all, but I looked at these days, even the uncle was cold to my father, and my father was close to Qin Youcheng, and I asked my uncle for money for a promotion, but the uncle reprimanded my father instead, and it was clear that he didn't want to pay attention to it, and he was reluctant to take it for hundreds of thousands of taels, not to mention 100,000 yuan of makeup?" Because of the Duke of Weiguo, the relationship between the uncle and the king of Chu is already close, if he goes to the palace and says something, it will make things change, the dowry and dowry have not passed through the door, this matter will not be settled, and when it is officially decided, can the Hou Mansion not accept the gift list, and let people carry the bride price back? ”
The third lady gave up at this time, but she couldn't help but be in suspense, and she couldn't wait to sleep and open her eyes until the day she made her decision.
How do you know that in a blink of an eye, the stage was demolished behind the beautiful scene, Yu Dong and his wife's wishful thinking failed, and they had to prepare their own dowry, the two of them were frustrated, and they didn't expect that there would be such an unheard of thing as a sudden reduction in the dowry to inform Huang Sanye, and when the fifth day of November was too big, the official media officially received the gift list, seeing that it was a world of difference from the last time Xiao Xie's handed over to it, and thought that it was the general's mansion to "show sincerity" according to the custom of the Wang family, and when the routine was counted, he found that the dowry was completely prepared according to the order, and he was dumbfounded.
It's also a pity for this official media, who has pulled no less than a hundred red lines, and has never encountered such a ridiculous thing.
In order to be decent, Xiao Xie's moved the wife of the Ministry of Rites as the matchmaker, this Wen is the sister-in-law of the queen's sister, born in a famous family, married to a family, and acts with dignity and courtesy, listening to the official media that the general's mansion - Yu Dong is a clan, although he lives in the palace now, when the marriage is reported to the Zongren Mansion is still according to the general's mansion, it has nothing to do with the Chu Wangfu - Wen's heard that the general's mansion actually rebelled, and he was stunned like a stone carving. Although the gift list of the negotiation before the big decision was not accurate, there were precedents in the past that the negotiation was slightly simpler and the actual employment was rich, but it was unheard of to only negotiate the rich and rich real employment, not to mention that the other party was still a clan!
Wen thought that the marriage between Yu and Huang Erfu was quite smooth, and she drank this cup of matchmaker wine easily, how could she have come up with such an accident!
Hurriedly asked Xiao Xie carefully.
Xiao Xie can't say that he is bitter, and he can't say to outsiders that the King of Chu is unwilling to hire on behalf of his brother, she was forced to retort, so she had to sink her face and pick up the shelf of the clan: "Madam, what is this, the reason why there is a word for negotiation is that it has not been determined, and the gift money we prepared is not a loss of face in the clan, Qi Niang is not a princess, but a seven-grade official eunuch daughter, Hou Fu Liuniang is married, and the bride price is 10,000, I am also thinking about this layer, I can't let Qi Niang cross Jianning Hou Daughter." ”
Wen was full of complaints, and he endured his dissatisfaction before venting it.
Even if you consider this factor, you should be early, I didn't hear that when the appointment was promised, only one-third of the bride price was settled, even she, the matchmaker, felt shameless, and she despised Xiao Xie very much, and she couldn't help but worry about waiting to wait for the mansion to see people's cold faces.
In another place, if you marry your daughter in your own house and encounter such a rare thing, it is really a shame, and you have to give up this marriage.
Fortunately, Mrs. Houfu and Mrs. Hou of Jianning did not pick on it, and although the third wife's face was not good-looking, she did not have a seizure, and Wen was relieved.
How did Wen know that the third room of the Houfu was also deliberately concealed in order to "blackmail" the rich marriage of the long house, and did not inform the family of the general's mansion in advance, Mrs. Hou got the instructions of Jianning Hou, and ignored this matter, although she also felt strange in her heart - although it was a three-room marriage, but in the end it was also related to the Houfu, how could she ignore it? After thinking about it, I only thought that Jian Ning Hou was dissatisfied with the third master's habitual behavior, so he didn't want to take care of it, and Mrs. Hou always obeyed her husband's orders, so she really stood by and watched.
Mrs. Tai handed over the middle feed to Mrs. Hou early, since Wu Niang's accident, she fell ill, her body was not as good as before, and because of the ugly incident of the Jiang family, she was in bed for some time, and she had no energy to pay attention to these idle things, but she heard that she had been hired, and she saw that the third lady looked happy, and she was relieved to know that it was going well, and she did not ask.
After this day, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou only looked at the gift list, and saw that all kinds of tea ceremonies were ready, and the bride price was quite generous, so of course they were satisfied.
Only the third wife's psychological expectations were disappointed, and she was so depressed that she was anxious.
When I looked at the dowry carefully, I saw that it was all commonplace, far less expensive than the dowry of Liuniang at that time, and the third wife felt even more sad.
Not to mention Huang Jiangyue's disheartened heart after learning the truth.
That's all for later.
He also said that when he heard that Yu Dong was suddenly no longer nervous and wanted to take care of his own marriage, he just smiled.
She remembered the look of the King of Chu and Yu Dong who endured their cough that day, and knew that the wind and cold were not completely better, so she specially invited Aunt Mo to come over - although the palace has a meal, it is generally only responsible for the banquet, and the daily three meals are still taken care of by the kitchen of the inner house. It's not as light and delicious as the inner house.
Yi Jing persuaded Mo Gu to simply stop bothering Master Lao Dianshan, and Guan Suiyuan was in charge of the three soup meals.
At this time, I was listening to Aunt Mo talk about the prince's preferred food taste-
"The prince has always been picky about tea and wine, and when the princess was alive, she often cooked tea and sat with the prince to enjoy leisure." The corners of Mo Gu's eyes were slightly moist, as if she remembered the picture of the prince and the princess raising her eyebrows at that time, and sighed lightly: "It's okay to eat soup and food, as long as it's too sweet and greasy, I generally don't care." ”
Yi Jing smiled: "The prince doesn't like sweets, except for this, he is very picky about eating, the color and flavor are all available, the aunt with the best knife skills in the kitchen last time took leave due to illness, and the fragrant soup was cut a little thicker, and the chicken soup was still generally delicious. ”
Qiu Yue on the side couldn't help but interject: "The prince is not so picky, and later I heard that the soup was boiled by the princess watching the fire, and she didn't drink a drop yet." ”
Mo Gu pursed the corners of her lips, but Yijing's sideburns were slightly red, she glared at Qiu Yue, and slapped the list in her hand on the case: "Just talk too much...... I didn't take the dinner menu to the kitchen, and told me that these were all prepared for the prince, and they should be lighter. ”
As he was talking, Chun Du came in to report that Jiang Wei was here and had been invited to the flower hall.
Yi Jing suddenly remembered Mo Gu's death that year, only looking at her at this time, although her complexion was a little haggard, her spirit was fine, it didn't look like she had a dark disease, so it was better to take the opportunity to let Jiang Wei take a pulse, if she really had a dark disease, she might be able to change her life if she was treated earlier.
Then he smiled and said: "It just so happens that Miss Jiang has outstanding medical skills, Aunt Mo Ruo told her about the prince's illness, asked her to prescribe a dietary prescription, and often took some medicinal food." ”
I didn't know that when I arrived at the flower hall, I saw Jiang Wei spinning around like a headless fly, and I was greeted with a sentence: "Ah Jing, I have something urgent to see Ribby." ”
Yi Jing wondered in his heart, so he had to say: "It's unfortunate today, Rib went to Jizhou with the son. ”
When Jiang Wei heard this, she was not disappointed, but became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but raise her feet and leave, Yijing didn't have time to sit down, and she had already left the flower hall after hearing her sentence "Come to visit Ajing another day".
Yijing was puzzled again, looking at Jiang Wei's back, her steps were flustered, and then she turned around a flower garden, and she stumbled and almost fell, she was a little worried, and called Aunt Xiaoli: "Follow Miss Jiang, secretly escort her back home safely, don't let there be an accident on the way." ”
Aunt Xiao Li took the order and left, only to see Jiang Wei go straight out of the corner gate and get on a green oil car, Aunt Xiao Li was also busy asking the porter to lead a horse out, followed far behind, out of Zhengzhengfang, all the way to the outer city, only to see the green oil car turned to Yihong Street.
The car stopped in front of Qianrao Pavilion, and after a long while, Jiang Wei came down, and Aunt Xiao Li saw her explain a few words to the coachman from a distance, and looked up at Qianrao Pavilion for another moment, and seemed to have made up her mind, and walked in.
At this time, it was daylight, there were no guests in the gold cave, but the door was still open, some of the guards in the gatehouse were sleepy, some were chatting, and some of them found out that Miss Jiang had entered, and they thought that it was a girl who invited the makeup girl who combed her hair, and she did not stop it, but let Jiang Wei enter the courtyard in a hurry.
It wasn't until in front of the hall that the greeter stopped him and asked who it was.
"Do you have someone named Du Yuniang here?" Jiang Wei opened her mouth and asked, her face covered with frost.
When the greeting man saw her face and heard this tone, he knew that he was looking for bad luck, and hurriedly drove people out: "The girl has long eyes, this is a brothel, and it does not accept female customers. ”
Jiang Wei was so angry and anxious that she shouted Du Yuniang's name.
This alarmed the prostitutes on both sides of the embroidery upstairs, and they all stood up to see the excitement, and the nursing home was naturally also alarmed, seeing the woman who had just been put in and the greeting lang pulling and pulling, and as soon as they hugged it, they were about to do it-
