Chapter 62: What is there to be happy about?

On February 13th, the relics of the jade and the ceremony, in the early dynasty, R yesterday did not figure out the clue of the case of the king of Wei stealing the treasury, and was re-raised, but Taizong did not let the following make a fuss this morning, and directly ordered to go down, with the crime of framing, and severely punished the day before yesterday in the early dynasty, the two chamberlains who identified the king of Wei for many times to withdraw the money and silk of the big surplus treasury, both of them were in the palace, and they obediently confessed, only saying that because of personal grudges, they would frame the king of Wei.

In addition to stripping them of their posts, they also beat the two of them with fifty boards on the same day, which made the skin open and the flesh and blood flying, and most of the civil servants couldn't bear to see it.

The change of the words of the two chamberlains, as long as they are smarter, can hear that they are tired, but Taizong himself said that he had seen the accounts sorted out by Dayingku overnight yesterday, and confirmed that King Wei only withdrew 10,000 taels of property in the two years before and after, and the crime of "stealing the inner treasury" was unfounded.

The emperor stepped forward and said no, and there were two more chamberlains who were beaten for "framing" lying half-dead on the palace, what else could the ministers say, and then what was there, it was not questioning the King of Wei, but questioning the emperor.

A few days ago, the most powerful imperial historians all stopped the fire and became dumb, and Zhao Mingqin, the right counselor who took off his crown and robe that day, was silent, not to mention the others, the only exception was the iron plate Wei Zheng, but he was old, his health was poor, he was holding back his anger, and he just said a few words with a black face, and he fainted.

Li Shimin was so anxious that he left the dragoon, ran down the steps in a few steps, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor, after a diagnosis, the imperial doctor's original statement was that Master Wei was old, and he had not rested well recently.

Li Shimin said on the spot, saying that Wei Qing worked hard and recuperated at home for a period of time, and after his body recovered, he would also publish this hand-printed version in the 55ab community in the future without having to meet every day. The palace people sent Wei Zheng, who was still in a coma, to the side hall to rest, Li Shimin was worried, and followed.

Li Tai stood in his court, the only one who did not come forward to "watch" when Wei Zheng fainted, and Li Shimin carried Wei Zheng away with the palace people, and after announcing the dispersal of the dynasty, he inserted the jade wat in his hand into his sleeve, copied his hand, and walked towards the outside of the hall. He snorted coldly on the spot.

"Alas, what's this called, it's been a few days of trouble, and it's over."

"I expected this, two years away from Beijing, the favor of the King of Wei is still unmatched, no, it should be said that it is even more right, the prince was grounded a while ago because of his mistake, and the King of Wei had such a big event, but it was wiped out so easily, alas."

"Don't sigh, a few days ago we were in the palace to help, let's think about what gift to send to the Wei Palace."

"Hmph, if you want to go, I won't go!"

Someone in the palace exchanged heads, and a few people outside the hall followed Li Tai and said some clever and cheap words, and the courtiers all knew the temper of King Wei, and when they saw that he liked to answer and ignored him, they didn't feel that he was pretending to be a gesture and followed him for half a distance before stopping and waiting for him to go first.

When Du Chuke saw it, he greeted a few people who were traveling with him, and quickly chased after him, his face completely lost yesterday's anxiety.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, for clearing away this injustice."

"Hmm." Li Tai stood in front of the palace gate, looked left and right, and picked up the road to the west.

"Your Highness, are you going to go to the household department?"

"Taishi Bureau." Li Tai didn't explain, and Du Chuke, who was confused, was at the gate of the palace and left alone.

The ant hand hit the group for the first time chapter hand hit the holy oracle divided into two hairs, he gave the jade yesterday, it is said that today is to be announced in the palace, so that the Ministry of Rites and the Taishi Bureau can handle it, but Wei Zheng fainted, the emperor left, this was not announced, yesterday the matter of the Lu family has not spread, and not many people know that the jade is accused of the princess, however, this is all temporary, and tomorrow announced this marriage that surprised everyone, I don't know if it will cause a few waves.

Puzhen Garden, Longquan Town

Coming back from Beijing in the morning, after a simple wash, he placed tea and fruit in the small hall of the main room, and asked his subordinates to go to the West Courtyard to invite Mrs. Zhou over.

Mrs. Zhou drank tea, listened carefully, and did not squeak, when she said that the eldest grandson Xian sent the herb to add a flute, she frowned, heard the strain of the left jade, and let go, and said that the third lady came, thoughtfully, but when she heard that Li Tai brought the holy oracle over and announced the marriage, this old woman who was not shocked was surprised to the extent of a gaffe.

Seeing her surprised, Yi Yu secretly smiled, took out the holy oracle with a serious face and showed it to her, and when she looked down, she squeezed her eyes at the Lu family, was caught by Mrs. Zhou, glanced at her, read the holy oracle carefully, restrained her expression, and poured a basin of cold water down.

"What is there to be happy about, one is the emperor's beloved son, the other is a little woman who was born in the countryside, helpless, and has a grudge with the eldest grandson's family, and the relationship between the Fang family, you have only been back to Beijing for half a month, have you thought deeply, how did the king of Wei ask for this marriage, and why did the emperor agree to this marriage."

Yi Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "What my mother-in-law said is that I thought about it last night," she was carried away by joy at first, but when it was quiet at night, the ants were in the middle of the night, and she was used to calming down and thinking about what the emperor thought, she didn't have much basis to speculate, how Li Tai did it, she didn't know very well, but as Mrs. Zhou said, there must have been something she didn't know about it, which led to this marriage that was impossible in the eyes of outsiders.

But yesterday the two of them stayed all afternoon, and he didn't mention it, and this attitude made her understand that there were some things that he didn't want to say, so she didn't ask, no matter how curious she was, as if her every move and even the purpose of the reception banquet was not explained to him.

They are lovers who want to go down side by side, but they are two individuals who are independent of each other, he has his things to do, she also has her things to do, don't say, don't ask, not because they don't care, they don't care, it's just a tacit understanding, concentrate on doing their part, in order to make the other party more relaxed.

Mrs. Zhou swept it over her face, rolled up the oracle, handed it to her, and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart, don't be overjoyed." ”

Yi Yu nodded, and Lu Shi said with a smile on the side, "How can this good thing be said by you, I am worried now, what can I do about this dowry?" ”

Mrs. Zhou didn't know how much property Lu Zhongzhi had left for Lu's mother and son, so she put down the teacup and said:

"According to the example of marriage in Chang'an City in previous years, Yu'er's dowry should be good-looking, not to mention that there should be three tilts of good land, two three-entry houses in the capital, four Gyeonggi Zhuangzi, double sets of furniture, mahogany is rare, sandalwood is second, rosewood can also be, the worst is also sour jujube wood, screen bed table case, dressing table cabinet, collapsed stool bucket drawer, a set of thirty-four pieces, the same can not fall, and there must be porcelain, lacquerware, ant hand-hit group for the first time chapter hand-beaten, glaze, calligraphy and painting, embroidered screen, drapery, treasured utensils, a should be furnished, The most auspicious is the number of eight or eight, and the minimum is sixty-six, and the silk silk, gold and silver jewelry, bed blankets and bedding should be prepared......"

Yi Yu listened to Mrs. Zhou as if she was endorsing a boat, and finally concluded:

"All kinds of things, with red foot buckets, red carrying boxes are lifted, it takes sixty-four lifts to be called on the table, but according to the identity of the King of Wei, these sixty-four lifts are thin, one hundred and twenty lifts, it is called magnificent."

The Lu family's wedding that year was also very beautiful, but compared to what Mrs. Zhou said, it was only the lowest bidder, and after hearing it, she asked worriedly:

"So, how many taels of silver do you have to buy it?"

Mrs. Zhou put down the teacup, pinched her hands for a while, and stretched out four fingers, "Not counting the land and house, it costs 40,000 taels." ”

Lu Shi took a breath of cool air, no wonder she was surprised, she was a daughter who didn't care about housework for the first ten years, and she was a carefree official wife for the next seven or eight years, and after more than ten years, at most, she held a silver ticket of three thousand taels, and she didn't give up flowers, and she didn't have to do anything with Han Li to Pushaluo City, and she didn't need to do anything, these 40,000 taels, if there was no family property left by Lu Zhongzhi, it would really be an astronomical amount.

Thinking of the family property left by Lu Zhongzhi to their mother and son, the Lu family frowned in distress, money, their family has it, but to give the Lu family the 30,000 cash, they only have the land and the house deed, in the past, she bought dowry jewelry for the widow jade, and bought more than a thousand taels of silver, but now she is married to the Wei Wangfu, the gold and silver jewelry of a thousand taels of silver is not enough to load, the Wei Wangfu is not the only one who lives alone, the internal officials give things, all kinds of characters, if the ant is in the first chapter, the dowry is thin, will inevitably be treated slowly, and the daughter marries her husband's family, she must have her own private money, so that she can act, speak and do things, and be tough!

A problem is placed in front of the Lu family, borrowing money to his brother and getting a dowry for his daughter, which is difficult to do both. Which is more important, she just blinked a few times, then made it clear, looked up at the Yu Yu who was pondering, and said:

"The silver, let's not lend it to them first, you don't have to worry about the dowry, my mother will discuss with Mrs. Zhou, prepare it for you properly, and let you marry in style."

Saying this, she was a little sad, when she worked hard every day to guard the hawthorn forest and string sugar gourds to make money, it was to buy property for her son and prepare a dowry for her daughter, but when it came to the end, she was still stretched.

"Mother," Yi Yu stretched out her hand to hold Lu's, she was optimistic, "It's still early, the marriage has just come down, and the next three books and six ceremonies will be serious, and it will not be prepared in a few months, and ask me to write a letter to Yangzhou to ask, there should be a timber business, this furniture must be saved, and there are a lot of ready-made furnishings in the library, and when the time comes, it will be enough......"

Having said that, she was thinking hard in her heart, where to get a sum of money to fill this hole, don't let her get married, empty the house, and the second brother Lu Jun will come back in the future and start a family.

"Yes, look at my mother's memory," Lu Shi pinched her little hand, and her face was happy again, "The year before last, in the Guogong Mansion, I told your aunt that Yangzhou had a timber business, and my mother wrote a letter to her and asked her to come up with ideas." ”

The Lu family still has relatives in Yangzhou, Lu's sister Lu Jingshan, and Mrs. Lu live there, and when they came back from Pushaluo a while ago, the Lu family asked people to bring a letter to report their safety, which I don't know if they have received it.
