Chapter 222: Intentions (6K, Double Change in One)

As soon as the dowry was lifted, it was carried into the Shengguo Mansion like flowing water.

The last dowry was the lightest, with only one mahogany gift box, and there were only three fluttering deed papers in the gift box.

But the last dowry is undoubtedly the most valuable.

A gold mine, a silver mine, and a jade mine.

According to the law, the gold, silver, copper, and iron ore in Bactria belonged to the imperial court, and private individuals had no ownership.

But the Shogun Mansion is an exception.

Among the four major princes' mansions, only the Divine General's Mansion had a fief in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Everything in this fiefdom belongs to them, including the mines.

There is a special reason for this.

Because the Divine General's Mansion has been expanding the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty for generations.

With such a great feat, without giving a certain amount of compensation, it is impossible for the Divine General's Mansion to work all the time.

The Great Xia royal family also knew this.

Eating too much alone can only lead to worse results.

Imperial power cannot be shared, but benefits can be shared.

Therefore, from the first generation of the Great Xia Emperor, the northwestern corner of the dynasty was divided into the Divine General's Mansion.

Facts have proved that due to the existence of barbarians and degenerate people, the northwest has always been the weakest place under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even if it was not divided into the Divine General's Mansion, the Great Xia Dynasty would not be able to exercise strong jurisdiction over that place.

For thousands of years, the Divine General's Mansion has expanded its territory in the east, north, and south directions for the Great Xia Dynasty, but the west has not expanded.

It was only after a thousand years that the Zhou Xiaoshen of the Divine General's Mansion was born and defeated the barbarians, and pushed the northwest territory forward by another 500 miles.

The three mines in the dowry of the Divine General's Mansion: gold, silver, and jade. It is the god general Zhou Chengzong in this campaign. Booty just taken from the Northwest barbarians. It is also owned by the Divine General's Mansion.

Although they went down to the Shengguo Mansion as a dowry, according to the custom, the Shengguo Mansion had to accompany all of them back.

Not only must all these dowries be sent back, but the Shengguo Mansion must also accompany the dowry of no less than these dowries, so as not to disgrace the bride.

After the shock of the Divine General's Mansion, many people came back to their senses and were waiting to see the jokes of the Shengguo Mansion.

The dowry of 880 lifts of the Shenjiang Mansion must be accompanied by the Shengguo Mansion at least 880 dowry......

The question is. Does the Shengguo Mansion have so many things of equivalent value to accompany you?

Is this to give face to the bride, or to pit the mansion of the country?

These questions have long lingered in the hearts of old foxes such as Old Man Wu and Old Man Zheng, but no one asked them at this time.

Sheng Qiye didn't have this tendon at all, and was completely immersed in the strong pride of "my daughter's dowry is unparalleled in the world", and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

The Wang family, who was reading the dowry book in the inner courtyard, thought of this, and while he was happy, he had a headache, and he was already instructing the eldest girl Licorice to bring her the list of their Sheng family's treasury.

On the second floor near the gate of the outer courtyard of the Shengguo Mansion, Sheng Siyan silently watched the last dowry enter the gate of the Shengguo Mansion. Only then did the question of dowry come to mind.

"Brother Zhou......" She turned around in Zhou Huaixuan's arms and faced him. Raised his head and shouted.

"Huaixuan, call me Huaixuan." Zhou Huaixuan still encircled her in his arms, looked down at her eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Sheng Siyan couldn't help but think of the dream she had last night, in the dream, she was panicked, and she transitioned from calling "Brother Zhou" to calling him "Huaixuan", and the transformation was natural.

"Well, Huai Xuan......" Sheng Siyan shouted with a smile.

Zhou Huaixuan couldn't help but lean down and peck her lightly on the lips.

"Huaixuan, you have given so many dowries, have you ever wondered if the Sheng family can come up with the same dowry? - Huh? Sheng Siyan finished saying this sentence breathlessly in Zhou Huaixuan's continuous kisses.

His lips kept wandering around hers, and every word she said seemed to be caught by him with his lips, swallowed, chewed carefully, and turned into a part of his body......

"Dowry? I'll bring you ......," the two of them spoke slowly as their lips and teeth met.

As soon as he spoke, his cold breath entered Sheng Siyan's lips, causing Sheng Siyan to shiver.

So he hugged her tighter.

She opened her lips slightly, sighed into Zhou Huaixuan's lips, and fed the cold back again.

The cold air swirled from Sheng Siyan's lips, and when he returned to Zhou Huaixuan's mouth, he already brought Sheng Siyan's unique sweet fragrance and warmth, which was much more comfortable than before, and it could also quench his hunger and thirst a little.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Give me ...... again" His throat tightened, his voice was low to hoarse, and he hugged her with both arms, hugged her to his chest, and sucked her breath hard, coveting the feeling of lips and lips, breath and breath.

"You sent it to me? My mother won't be happy......" Sheng Siyan pushed Zhou Huaixuan away slightly, broke away from his hot kiss, didn't look over, and gasped for breath.

Zhou Huaixuan tilted his head and kissed her slender jade-like neck.

A sour and itchy numbness crept into his heart, and Sheng Siyan was still intermittently talking to Zhou Huaixuan about the dowry: "...... Is there any other way? I...... I...... I don't want my mother to be upset......"

At such times, she still remembers her mother's ......

Zhou Huaixuan stopped, his brows slightly condensed.

Deep dark eyes looked at Sheng Siyan steadily, "I'll convince her." ”

Sheng Siyan sighed and said to Zhou Huaixuan about Wang's personality.

"My mother is extremely strong, and she never wants to take advantage of others. People respect me, I respect people. She is such a person, when she was in Wangjia Village before, she never fell into the hands of people in terms of human sophistication......"

Zhou Huaixuan listened silently, and nodded for a while, "Got it." ”

It's always so concise.

Sheng Siyan is also used to it.

The two of them came out of the house and took the maid to the inner courtyard.

After the dowry was over, the Sheng family invited the guests back to sit down for dinner.

This meal is far more than the meaning of washing, but to celebrate the marriage of the Divine Shogun Mansion and the Shengguo Mansion.

Wu Chanjuan's heart hurt so much that she was about to die, and she didn't want to go back to eat this meal. But under the stern gaze of Second Grandma Yin. She followed the group back to the inner courtyard like a walking corpse. I tried my best to eat this most painful meal.

Old Madam Zheng said to Sheng Siyan during the banquet: "I only learned today that the eldest girl has made a good family matter, I am really embarrassed to neglect it." Tomorrow I will go back and ask the steward to send a congratulatory gift. ”

Old Madam Wu is no exception.

It's not happy to be unhappy, but the etiquette has to be done.

Sheng Siyan hurriedly said: "It's our fault, it's too hasty, so let's laugh." ”

During the banquet, several grandmothers of the Zheng family were very talkative, coupled with the witty words of Grandma Yin Er and Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple, the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.

A meal is eaten until dark.

Zhou Huaixuan was the last to leave.

Before leaving, he said a few words to Sheng Qiye. "The dowry will be talked about after the aunt is confined, let the aunt not worry, I have my own arrangements. There are three hundred and eighty-eight dowry gifts left, which will be sent together. ”

Sheng Qiye smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Five hundred lifts is enough, and the family is almost unable to put it down. ”

Sheng Siyan: "...... "Dad, it's better for you not to speak......

Zhou Huaixuan understood Sheng Qiye's temperament, but he didn't care about it, and said goodbye to him.

Sheng Siyan personally sent Zhou Huaixuan to the second gate.

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at Sheng Siyan deeply, "I'll come back tomorrow." Is your medicine ready? ”

Sheng Siyan's heart moved, knowing that it was the "medicine" prepared for Niu Xiaoye. smiled and nodded, "I've already made a pair, I don't know if it's useful." ”

"Just give it to me." Zhou Huaixuan said lightly, and finally turned around and left.

Sheng Siyan stood on the second door, looking at Zhou Huaixuan's back all the time, unwilling to leave.

Zhou Huaixuan seemed to be aware of her gaze, walked for a while, and suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the second gate.

Sheng Siyan saw him turn around, smiled a little embarrassedly, bowed slightly, turned around and left, and left the second gate as if he was fleeing.

The silver fox sparkled in the moonlight, reflected in Zhou Huaixuan's eyes, turning into a warmth.

He was in a surprisingly good mood.

……

The inner courtyard of the Zhaowang Mansion.

At the time of dinner, Princess Zhao Wang Qingmei waited at the dinner table for a long time, and did not wait for King Zhao to come over for dinner.

This has never been done before.

She has been with King Zhao for so many years, and King Zhao will have dinner with her as long as he is at home.

And King Zhao is clean and self-conscious, except for her, there are no other women, no maids and concubines.

Thinking of the look of King Zhao outside the Shengguo Mansion today, Wang Qingmei was restless, his heart was pounding, and he called the maid over and asked, "Where is the prince?" Why didn't you come over for dinner? ”

The maid shook her head, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Where's Mother Zhao?" Wang Qingmei looked left and right.

Mother Zhao is the housekeeper by her side, and she is also the head of the inner courtyard.

She had just followed King Zhao from Jiangnan to the capital, and she didn't understand the human relations between these wealthy families, so King Zhao found her a capable mother-in-law to serve her and remind her.

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince ordered someone to call Mother Zhao out." ”

"Huh?" Wang Qingmei's heart tightened, and he couldn't eat anymore, so he pushed the bowl and went back to his house to pick up the child.

King Zhao didn't have an appetite for dinner, so he called Mother Zhao, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, over and asked, "What's going on today?" Why did the princess go to the Shengguo Mansion? ”

Since it was King Zhao who asked in person, Mother Zhao didn't dare to hide it for Princess Zhao at all, and 1510 said, "...... The princess was worried that the Sheng family was going to give the Sheng girl to her second brother, so she went to the Sheng family to remind them not to be delusional, and said...... He also said......"

"What else to say? You tell me the whole thing! The anger in King Zhao's eyes was gathering.

The princess said that the grand girl could only be a concubine for the second son of the king. If you want to make the main room, you have to step over her corpse......" Zhao's mother snorted.

"What else?" The green tendons on King Zhao's forehead burst out, "What else?" ”

"Later, the princess went to the warm pavilion of the Duchess of Shengguo for confinement, and we didn't go in, I don't know what the princess said inside......" Zhao's mother lowered her head and said softly.

King Zhao slapped the table, "Go to see the Duchess of Sheng Guo alone?" Hmph, there will be good things to say?! ”

King Zhao stood up, put off his robe, and went to the inner courtyard.

Come to the main courtyard of the inner courtyard. As soon as he saw that there was food and wine outside. I didn't see Wang Qingmei's figure. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the princess?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, in the back room." The maid hurried over and curtched back.

King Zhao angrily rushed to the back room.

Wang Qingmei was overjoyed when he heard King Zhao's voice, hurriedly put down his son who had just fallen asleep, brushed his hair, stood up and waited for King Zhao to come in.

As soon as King Zhao entered the door, he saw Wang Qingmei's smiling face.

"You're giving me a long face. Dare to go to the Guogong Mansion and let the eldest daughter of the family be your brother's concubine! King Zhao scolded coldly.

Wang Qingmei's smile froze on his face, "Lord Wang, what are you talking about?" How can I have ......" with an aggrieved look.

King Zhao looked at her well-maintained face, flashing eyes, and cramped hands, and no longer had the simple and lively appearance and temperament when he first saw her in Wangjia Village.

He fell in love with her at that time, that is, he liked her simplicity and kindness, as well as her lively and outgoing temperament like Xiangrong.

It is a temperament that is rarely seen among the nobles of the family.

He thought that such a woman would make him feel at ease and share his peace of mind. so that he can free up his hands to do other things.

Besides, in order to reassure the prince, he did not marry a noble daughter of the family. Instead, he chose to marry a Hei family woman with no background.

It's just that I didn't expect that ten years later, the simple and kind woman in the countryside back then has changed beyond recognition.

"You still don't admit it?" King Zhao was very disappointed.

doesn't understand etiquette, has shallow eyelids, these Zhao kings don't care, anyway, he just needs to have a woman by his side.

But it is unforgivable to try to lie in front of him, to make mistakes and deny them in every possible way.

He has never loved Wang Qingmei. From the beginning to the end, his heart only wanted to accommodate one person.

Wang Qingmei looked at King Zhao's increasingly cold eyes, very flustered, and suddenly knelt in front of King Zhao, hugged his legs, and cried: "Lord Wang, you also think about me, think about Xiao Shizi, think about my brother." With Sheng Siyan's life experience, how can he be a main room? ”

"Sheng Siyan?" King Zhao had heard Wang Yixing say this name before, and he didn't care about it at that time. However, since I met Sheng Siyan once in Dali Temple, I was very impressed by her smile.

This time, I also have a feeling for the name "Sheng Siyan".

"Sheng Siyan? You say her name is Siyan? King Zhao had a strange look on his face, "What are those two words?" ”

Wang Qingmei didn't know much literacy, but Sheng Siyan's name was recognized by her in Wangjia Village, and she was busy saying: "Acacia's thoughts, face's face." ”

"Acacia's thoughts, faces' countenances?" King Zhao muttered the words, turned around, left the main courtyard, and went to the second gate.

This night, he did not go back to the inner courtyard, he was alone in the outer study, grinding ink and laying paper, writing the words "Xiangrong" on snow-white rice paper, and writing the words "Siyan" below.

Siyan, doesn't that mean what you mean?!

King Zhao sat in a daze all night looking at these two names.

As soon as it dawned the next day, he entered the palace and asked to see Emperor Xia Qi.

Emperor Xia Qi is having a very hard time these days.

When he ordered the raid of the Changyuan Marquis' Mansion, a fire suddenly broke out in the Changyuan Marquis Mansion, burning the entire Hou Mansion to the ground.

The people in the capital all said that His Majesty instructed him, and he was so angry that he choked!

What did he do to burn down the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion?! If you're full, you can't hold on!

He has already taken away the Marquis of Changyuan, so he is still going to keep the Marquis Mansion and give it to other ministers......

As a result, the fire was burned, not to mention, and let him carry the black cauldron, which was really depressed.

After checking and checking, they could only find that the Imperial Forest Army he sent to investigate made a mistake and knocked down the incense candles in the small Buddha Hall, which caused a monstrous fire.

So the black cauldron was fastened even more firmly on his back.

Emperor Xia Qi was annoyed for a few days, and his mood was just better.

Seeing that his most feared brother actually handed over the fold to ask for a face in the morning, he was also curious about what was wrong with him, so he ordered someone to bring him in.

King Zhao came to Emperor Xia Qi's imperial study, and after saluting, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the tablet that the courtier wants to welcome the Zheng family wants to be the original room, and I hope that the imperial brother will be favorable." As he spoke, he knelt down for Emperor Xia Qi.

I still can't let go of that woman......

The smile on Emperor Xia Qi's lips grew bigger and bigger.

He looked embarrassed and asked, "However, you also know that our family has ancestral teachings. The royal family cannot marry the four major powers. ”

King Zhao said in a deep voice: "The ancestral training said that you can't marry a living person. But Xiang Rong has been dead for fourteen years, and even if he marries her tablet, it is just a formality. - I just want to give her tablet a place to live. ”

"You asked her to be the original matchmaker. And what about your current princess? Emperor Xia Qi asked with a smile.

"I had welcomed her in with the etiquette of filling the house. This does not hinder her. King Zhao said without changing his face.

When I first married Wang Qingmei. And he told her. It is to enter the door as a filler. In his original room, Zheng Xiangrong was the only one.

And after Wang Qingmei gave birth to a son, it was like two people before.

King Zhao didn't want to get used to her at all.

It's better to let her see her identity and position clearly.

"Oh." Emperor Xia Qi thought of Wang Qingmei's background and nodded, "That's right." With your princess's background, you really can't afford to be the original match. Well, for your sake, I will grant you permission. It's just a tablet anyway. Zu Xun should be out of control. ”

Seeing King Zhao spend half his life as a woman, Emperor Xia Qi was very happy, and he didn't think of stopping his whimsical behavior at all.

King Zhao received a holy decree from Emperor Xia Qi and went straight to the Zheng Guogong Mansion to ask to see Old Man Zheng and Old Lady Zheng.

As soon as he saw them, King Zhao knelt down for them, presented the holy decree with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Guogong, old lady, this is the will of His Majesty, and I am allowed to marry the tablet I want to pass through." From now on, she is my Xia family. It's my Xia Zhao's original room! ”

"What?!" Old Madam Zheng stood up suddenly, and she couldn't speak in a hurry anymore. "You...... Are you serious? ”

After King Zhao returned to the world, he once sent someone to welcome back Zheng Xiangrong's ashes and tablet, saying that he wanted to marry her tablet and respect her as the original match.

Mrs. Zheng was moved at that time, but was dissuaded by Zheng Suxin.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, King Zhao not only did not forget about this matter, but invited the holy decree from His Majesty XiΓ  to officially welcome the tablet of Xiangrong into the door......

Old Man Zheng took the holy decree, opened it and read it carefully, and was sure that there was no problem, so he bowed his head and said, "You have a heart." For more than ten years, you have not forgotten her. If you want to have a spirit in heaven, I will definitely forgive you. ”

The tears that King Zhao had endured for a long time suddenly slanted out.

Old Madam Zheng hurriedly helped him up and sat aside to talk.

King Zhao discussed the wedding ceremony with them, and said, "It's just that His Majesty doesn't want us to make a big deal, so only our two families know, and ask the two old men to forgive." ”

"No problem. No problem. Old Madam Zheng wiped her tears and said, "Anyway, Xiangrong is no longer there, and we don't care about that." As long as her tablet can have a place to live, I will die. ”

Old Man Zheng sighed and was silent.

King Zhao said a few more words to them, and only then did he ask what had been in his heart for so many years.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, how did you want to die back then, can you tell me again? I haven't heard from her for a year, and when I heard from her again, she was dead. Also said, she is one corpse and two lives? King Zhao looked at Old Man Zheng fixedly and asked.

For more than ten years, Mrs. Zheng has been thinking about what happened in the last year every day.

As soon as King Zhao said it, she said in surprise: "What's the matter? You don't know where she was that year? ”

"If I had known, how could I have come to ask you? She used to sneak out to see me. I remember very well that the last time I saw her, she told me that she had good news for me, and I went to wait for her at the place where we often met on the agreed day, but I never waited for her. Later, I was anxious and inquired everywhere, only to find out that she was sick, and you two elders sealed her yard and did not let people in. I waited outside for her to recover, but in the end, I waited for the news that she was dead and dead! You sue me, is she ...... Isn't it...... Got my baby? Is the child really dead? King Zhao asked eagerly, nervously looking at Old Man Zheng and then at Old Madam Zheng.

Old Madam Zheng's brows tightened, and she said slowly, "This thing is strange. Are you lying, or are you ......"

"What's the panic?" King Zhao stood up suddenly, "I can swear to God!" ”

"No need." Old Man Zheng stretched out his hand to stop him, "Maybe there was a misunderstanding." Then let's spread it out. As he spoke, he looked at Old Madam Zheng, "You say." ”

Old Madam Zheng wanted to cry when she thought of Xiangrong, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "That's the case." One day more than ten years ago, the personal maid who wanted to be Rong suddenly came in a panic and said that the second girl had not been seen for two days. I was in a hurry and asked her why she was only saying it now. She said that she would disappear quietly before she wanted to Rong, saying that she was going to see the second prince and you, but they would all appear within a day, and they were all used to it. This time, after waiting for two days for Xiang Rong not to show up, they were a little anxious. ”

"And then?" King Zhao added, "I want Rong to come out and see me secretly, I'...... I...... Shouldn't...... But I really thought that the two old men were acquiescing to her coming out to see me, and they also wanted to ask the imperial grandmother to be gracious and let us marry. I even want to get rid of the status of a prince, so that I don't have to be limited by the teachings of my ancestors. ”
