Chapter 19: General Wenda's face-changing skill
In the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion, the clerk sat in the first place, looking down at the dowry list prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and his face was not good-looking.
According to the rules of the prince's wife, the Ministry of Rites will prepare a dowry of 68 for him, but if the prince is wealthy or has a heart, he can add a dowry by himself.
Although Hua Jingyun is a prince, he is not valued by the emperor because he did not walk in the court, so the people in the Ministry of Rites pretended not to know, and still prepared according to the rules of the prince.
The extra four lifts were prepared by Hua Jingyun himself.
Clerk Mian's heart is growing angry, those things that seem to be quite a lot and weighty, how many of them are valuable?
Is he really a big boss who doesn't know the goods?
Suppressing his anger, he looked at the four lifts that Hua Jingyun had prepared, and his face was a little better.
Four lifts, one lift jewelry, one lift antique calligraphy and paintings, one lift worth thousands of gold, and one lift is gold, a full two thousand taels.
The four lifts are all solid, and if he is really the richest prince, he is really rich.
When I looked up again, I saw Hua Jingyun's posture like a pine, and the wind god was handsome, pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention anything else, he is quite satisfied with this appearance, and it is a good match for Mianmian.
Wen Lingxiao also looked at Hua Jingyun carefully, recently he has paid more attention to Hua Jingyun's affairs, in addition to saying that he is hard, a lot of it is that he is rich.
Richness is good, wealth is very good!
Master Pei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, arched his hand, "General Wen, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the day of the wedding, on the eighth day of the seventh month, there is still a month and a half to complete, and the Ministry of Rites will do its best to handle the wedding of King Annan and Miss Wen, and I only want to confirm with the general." ”
The clerk reluctantly put away the list," he said. ”
Master Pei arched his hand and said with a smile: "The General's Mansion and the Annan Palace's Mansion are separated by a wall, and the lower officials think that when the time comes, the Grand Prince Wen will carry Miss Wen directly to the Annan Palace, so that the generals can also go to the palace to watch the ceremony together." ”
"What does the general think?"
Hua Jingyun frowned slightly, and before she could open her mouth, she had already preemptively asked, "Does Master Pei think that the princess of this king is not worthy of the gift of eight sedan chairs?" ”
Master Pei hurriedly explained, "The prince is angry, the proposal of the lower official is also considering that the two mansions are too close, and it is time to get off the sedan chair if you don't get up and take a step, and this will directly enter the door, and General Wen can also go to the palace to watch the ceremony." ”
Hua Jingyun spoke again, "Go out, turn left around Qianmen Street, and come back from the right alley again." ”
Master Pei was a little embarrassed, the place where the sedan chair passed was full of money, and it was not a small expense to go around such a big circle.
Seeing that he still dared to detain and search, the clerk barely buckled the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, "General Ben marries a daughter, naturally the whole city knows, the scenery is married, Lord Pei is so hesitant, it seems that he feels that General Ben is not worthy of this face." ”
As he spoke, he shook the booklet in his hand and threw it directly on Master Pei, "The big day touched the general's brows, Pei Xuan, the general saw that you are also a person who does not know how to be polite, take your people and those dowries." ”
The anger in Wen Lingxiao's heart couldn't be held back for a long time, and he got up directly, "Wang Qing, send off guests." ”
Wang Qing, the chief steward of the General's Mansion, looked unhappy, raised his hand and waved, and those people outside the courtyard who were waiting to receive the reward immediately stepped forward, and after obeying the order, they dragged the people of the Ministry of Rites out without saying a word.
Master Pei was frightened, "General Wen, general, I can't help it, I can't help it..."
Wen Lingxiao said in a cold voice, "Gagged." ”
Immediately, a sweaty handkerchief blocked Master Pei's mouth, and he was dragged out in his constant struggle.
Wang Qing looked at those who carried the dowry and trembled, and scolded: "Carry these dowry away, don't occupy the place of the General's Mansion." ”
A moment later, the door slammed shut, and everyone in the ceremonial department outside the door looked at each other.
The current courtyard has quieted down, and Mrs. Wen, who has learned the news, has already led Wen Mianmian halfway, and she is worried.
At this time, how could Wen Mianmian return to Caiyunju, shocked that her father was so violent, and even the adults who came to hire him were beaten out.
Ouch, you won't be unlucky if you offend people, right?
"Mother, let's go take a look."
took Mrs. Wen's hand and trotted away, and as soon as she arrived in the front hall, she heard her father's angry voice, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, only to hear Wen Mian say:
"Virtuous son-in-law, don't be afraid, Pei Xuan has always been above the top, and his father-in-law has long wanted to clean him up."
"Today, this dowry list is a rage when I see it, and that bastard doesn't put our two in his eyes, don't worry, this evil father-in-law came out for you."
"Whatever he said, he will prepare a decent dowry again, this dowry, my father-in-law will bring her to your house with a lot of money, so that the two of you will have a more comfortable life in the future."
In the hall, the clerk slapped Hua Jingyun's shoulder with a big palm, with a posture that I already regarded you as my own.
Wen Lingxiao also echoed on the side, "Brother-in-law, we will be a family in the future, those who don't have long eyes outside to bully you are bullying me, and we will not distinguish each other in the future." ”
"Don't go back today, stay in the house to eat, and the three of us have a good drink."
Where did poor Hua Jingyun experience such enthusiasm, I really don't understand why his cheap father-in-law and uncle changed their faces so quickly, one moment they were eager to dismantle Pei Xuan, and the next moment they were happy to talk to him, which one is this singing?
Wen Mianmian, who was standing outside the door, couldn't understand it, she was angry in her imagination, and she was angry at all, the person in her eyes who wanted to call others brother and brother was really her father and brother?
When she carefully saw that the two of them were not going to be unlucky, she was also relieved, and walked in with a smile, "Daddy, brother, I'm here." ”
"Mianmian, come quickly."
The clerk beckoned happily, "Come and see King Annan, we will be a family from now on, don't be embarrassed." ”
The smile on Wen Mianmian's face almost didn't steady, but she still obediently stepped forward to greet Hua Jingyun, "I've seen King Annan." ”
Hua Jingyun smiled as she incarnated as 'Xiao Cui' and touched into his brocade courtyard, and a smile was drawn on the corner of her mouth, "Miss Wen doesn't need to be polite. ”
Wen Lingxiao nodded appreciatively, "There is no need to be polite between the family. ”
Wen Mianmian: "......"
In the hall, the father and son greeted each other warmly, and Hua Jingyun and Wen Mianmian smiled politely and awkwardly.
Mrs. Wen stood at the door, and after accepting Hua Jingyun's bow, she pulled out a smile, "You guys chat, I'll arrange the meal." ”
She really couldn't stay any longer, the words reserved, subtle, and tactful seemed to exist at all in the eyes of the father and son.
The excitement in the hall continued, and in the palace, Master Pei added fuel and vinegar to tell the matter again, the old tears were rampant, and the very old people knelt on the ground and kept wiping their tears, as if they had been greatly wronged.
