Chapter 67 Hiring

Puzhen Garden

In the afternoon, Yi Yu returned to Longquan Town, and when he got out of the car, he felt that something was wrong, the ground at the entrance of the garden was full of long wheel prints, and the strings of footprints in front of the door were not cleaned, and there were confetti sticking, as if a large group of people had come.

The attitude of the people is also very strange, I can't say whether it is joy or anything, they all look at her as if they want to say and stop, she walked quickly from the west corridor to the small hall of the main room, and when she entered the door, she was hurriedly pulled by Lu Shi to sit down on the blanket, and a cup of tea just received it in her hand, and before she swallowed a mouthful, she was choked by the sudden news.

"Ahem, ahem, what did you say?"

Lu Shi still had a mixed and dissatisfied expression on his face, and while stroking her chest, he repeated what he had just said:

"In the morning, Steward Li of the Wei Wangfu brought someone from the Ministry of Rites and sent all the gifts, dowry gifts and letters of appointment."

Seeing that Yi Yu was stunned, Lu nodded at Chen Qu and motioned for her to get something, and continued to Yu Yu: "Although I am in a hurry, the number of gifts is comprehensive, and I have made up for the thirty-six auspicious things that were missing on the day of the announcement——"

Xiao Man couldn't help but interject on the side, and said: "Yes, miss, don't you know how lively our garden is in the morning, there are a lot of officials, big boxes and small boxes keep being carried to the yard, and the two pairs of geese sent are exactly the same, they are still alive, and now they are placed in the back hall, why don't you ask someone to hold one to show you?" ”

"No need," his voice stiffly rejected Xiao Man's proposal, Yi Yu frowned slightly, and said directly, "What about the letter of appointment, show it to me." ”

Because it is the emperor's marriage, it is slightly different from the steps of ordinary marriage, and on the day of the ceremony, the Lu family received Li Tai's Geng sticker, and exchanged the eight characters of the left jade to the officials brought by Li Tai, this point of the left jade is clear, but the Ministry of Rites sent the letter of appointment so quickly? So, her marriage date with Li Tai has been set? Why is she a little vague when she listens to this?

Chen Qu took the two documents that Lu Shi had been reading all morning, and handed one of them the letter of appointment to the widow, and noticed that when she took it, her hand trembled slightly.

Yi Yu opened this specially made letter of appointment from the Ministry of Rites, and read it carefully word by word, Lu Shi saw that her face was becoming more and more ugly, and after thinking about it, he temporarily put away the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a gentle remark:

"It's a bit of a rush this day, but don't worry, my mother and Mrs. Zhou both said that the dowry is a big deal, let's buy more ready-made, silver is not a problem."

But the problem is not silver, even if the jade self-cultivation has reached a certain level, he is also holding back at this time, so he didn't pinch the letter of appointment in his hand into a paper ball and throw it out-

On the first day of the fourth lunar month, what kind of broken day is this, is it a market, or is it a joke?

"Yu'er," Lu Shi probably saw that she had the urge to get mad, carefully pulled the letter of appointment out of her hand, handed it to Chen Qu, and gave her a look to signal her to take it properly, before patting her hand again, and said:

"Don't run around these days, this is the dowry, there are a lot of precious materials, just you did the embroidery at home, there is more than a month, get ready early, don't panic when you arrive, the dowry lady sent has been checked, and there is a ...... in the flower hall in front of you."

The latter words, Yi Yu didn't listen much, she finally calmed down, and when she came back to her senses, the person had been held by Xiao Man, transferred to the flower hall, holding a gift list in her hand, looking at the spacious hall with more than a dozen huge gift boxes, the wide open boxes were full of dazzling, but it made her feel a little inexplicably irritable.

"Miss, look at this material, I don't know what kind of silk it is, it's so slippery," Xiao Man held a fiery red material, and showed it in front of the jade with some excitement.

After putting it down, he picked up an ebony box with gold buckles and opened it, which was neatly stacked with more than 30 pearls, full of color and luster, round and round, they were of different sizes, but what was rare was that each size had three colors of beads, silver, light blue, and light pink, and it became three sets of beads that were exactly the same except for the color.

"Tsk, the slave has never seen such neat beads, it's so beautiful"

These three sets of pure natural sea beads, not to mention that Xiaoman has never seen them, even the favored concubines in the palace have seen them, and they should be regarded as treasures, but in these dozen boxes of dowry, they are rare, but they are not ranked in the top three.

"I'm a little hungry, go and see, there's something to eat in the kitchen, get me some."

"Yes."

After walking away Xiaoman, he had to be quiet alone, and Yu Yu pinched the long book of rites, sat down on the chair, staring at the beautiful silk like a red cloud, and only felt that his eyes were a little sour.

On the day the wedding was set, she was surprised, delighted, and happy, but the wedding date was set like this, and her mood at the moment was a little confused and a little uneasy in the irritability.

She could blame her reaction on the haste in choosing the wedding date, on the fact that she hadn't prepared the dowry, but she asked herself what the real reason was, even if she wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't help but have a name in her mind - Oriental Pearl.

The Miss Mingzhu who pointed out to Li Tai as a side concubine one step earlier than her, for two years, Li Tai never mentioned this name in front of her, but it doesn't mean that she forgot the existence of this person, even if Li Tai had no intention of that young lady, but that marriage contract became an obstacle between her and Li Tai.

What will Li Tai do, regret his marriage? She can't imagine what the consequences of doing this will be, Dongfang You is very prestigious among the literati in Chang'an, and the students of the entire Guozijian are his students, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is all over the world, Yiyu thought, when she was away with Li Tai for two years, that Miss Mingzhu, carrying the marriage contract, waited for Li Tai in Chang'an City for two years, if she was repented of her marriage, how could she be embarrassed, it was in this open Tang Dynasty, it was also enough to make a woman unable to raise her head, whether Li Tai was very favored, Yu Yu didn't know, but she knew that if this matter changed her, It's absolutely ruthless.

So, dragging? If Yu Yu is not mistaken, Oriental Pearl should be sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and her marriage is currently under pressure, but at most, a year after her wedding to Li Tai, before Oriental Pearl is eighteen years old, she will be included in the palace.

Yi Yu leaned her head back on the chair, raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, Li Tai had said that he would deal with this matter, but when the matter was approaching, there was no movement at all, she didn't believe him, no, she believed him, but after their wedding date, there was still such a thing between her and Li Tai, so that she couldn't be happy when she thought about it.

Wei Wangfu

Li Tai rarely returned home from the Literature Museum in the afternoon, Ah Sheng was counting in the tent, and listened to the attendant's report, so he put down his work, trotted all the way back to the Combing Pavilion, met Pingtong who served tea in front of the door, took it, and entered the inner room.

"Master, you're back."

Li Tai took off his ink-stained coat and hung it on the screen, sat down on the tiger skin blanket, took the tea and drank two sips, and said:

"How's it going?"

"It's all sent over, Mrs. Lu is very reasonable, and the wedding date should be over, but Miss Lu is not in the garden."

Hearing that he had done it, Li Tai nodded with satisfaction, and took the second half of Ah Sheng's words, "She was there with the king in the morning." ”

Yi Yu went to the Literature Museum in the morning to look for him, and specially brought a few salty snacks and porridge, which suited his appetite very much, and used it as an early meal.

Seeing that Li Tai didn't know what to think, Ah Sheng looked relaxed and didn't bother, and when his expression returned to coldness, he said in a loud voice:

"Master, there is news from Dongfang Mansion that Miss Dongfang is sick."

"Oh?" Li Tai put down the teacup, his eyes flashed, his thumb rubbed a few times on the gemstone ring on his left hand, and said slowly:

"Go and prepare gifts, and you will personally visit the king on behalf of this king."

"Yes," Ah Sheng replied, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is one more thing." ”

"Say."

"Near the Eastern Metropolis, a small tune suddenly arose, and most of it was sung by children, Your Highness would be interested in hearing this word?"

"Huh?"

Ah Sheng cleared his throat, looked at him cautiously, and opened his mouth to come: "First-class peony, third-class chrysanthemum, but the princess is compared to grass, angering the girl surnamed Lu, breaking the ghost trick, the name is true, the evaluation is false, for the sake of profit and reputation, no one can be cheeky, what an eldest granddaughter-in-law." ”

After learning, there was silence in the room for a moment, Li Tai turned the ring on his thumb half a circle, and said lightly:

"It's such a funny tune, don't let people bury it."

Ah Sheng peeked at his face, and saw something almost pleasant from it, so he withdrew his gaze and said:

"What the master said is that the subordinates will do it."

Besides, the Lu Mansion has been deserted for two years, after that and the ceremony, it suddenly became lively, there are visitors to visit every day, what is coming, everyone knows that the case of King Wei's theft of the library is not over, and the emperor is giving marriage at this juncture, making it clear that he is making face for his son, and the meaning of love for pets cannot be questioned.

From being stepped on everywhere to being praised by others, Lu Rongyuan's mood is getting better and better day by day, and Lu Ronghe and his wife are running here every day, but on this day, they sent away two groups of guests, and the brothers sat in the front hall, but their faces were not very good-looking, because they heard that the Wei Wangfu and the Ministry of Rites had gone to Longquan Town to hire them.

"Whose idea do you say this is, why did a serious hire go to Longquan Town, isn't this embarrassing for us?" Boss Lu Rongyuan frowned.

"Lan Niang doesn't have so many eyes, but Xiaoyu, that kid has a big idea," Lu Ronghe said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't see it, at the ceremony, when she asked her subordinates to pick up people, where did she look at us elders." ”

He reminded Lu Rongyuan that he couldn't get off the stage that day by Yu Yu, he straightened his face, pondered for a while, and raised his head and said:

"Niangniang, it's already done, I think, it's better to pick a time, send Shuqing to the palace as soon as possible, I heard that among the women who entered the palace at the beginning of the year, a few of them are very outstanding, no matter how late, I'm afraid it won't be too late."

(Something has gone wrong these days, and the single change is the first, and the arrears are all recorded, and then make up for it when you get rid of this state.) )()
