Master Pei complained one after another, peeking at the emperor from time to time, full of grievances, and a sneer on the corner of the emperor's mouth, "Present the dowry list you prepared?" ”

Master Pei shuddered for a moment, and honestly presented the dowry list, and the emperor glanced at it roughly, only to feel that it was a little thin.

"Just because this dowry is less, the clerk dragged you out of the door?"

Master Pei didn't dare to lie in front of the emperor, so he honestly told the cancellation of the sedan chair, and at the same time stated, "Weichen is also a good heart, and the two mansions are separated by a wall, so why bother going around that big circle, not to mention the trouble, and spend so much more money." ”

"It is also a good thing for General Wen to carry people directly into it by Prince Wen, and you can also watch the ceremony on the spot."

"After all, the treasury is not rich now."

The emperor was laughed at angrily, no wonder he was beaten out by the clerk, and in his opinion, he should be beaten first.

"How much does it cost to go around in a circle?"

Master Pei hurriedly said: "According to the request of King Annan, it will cost at least two thousand taels more to go around like this." ”

The emperor asked again: "General Wen has been fighting horses all his life, with great military achievements, and he has been guarding the border all the year round in exchange for today's stability, are you telling him now that his daughter's marriage is not even worthy of a sedan chair, and I am reluctant to give him even these two thousand taels?" ”

"Or do you think that my son deserves such a shabby wedding?"

There was anger in the emperor's words, and when he thought that Wen Mian might come to him again and cry unrelentingly, he wanted to beat Pei Xuan severely.

No matter how bad the sixth prince is, it is also his son, and it is not the turn of these people to praise the high and the low.

Master Pei suddenly felt cold, and nodded to the ground with his forehead, "Your Majesty, Weichen should die, Weichen will go back and re-prepare the dowry, and strive to make the preparations for King Annan's wedding beautiful." ”

The emperor looked at him coldly, "No need. ”

If Pei Xuan is not punished heavily, there is a good chance that the clerk will come to him in person, and now that the border is unstable, the clerk is just the time to use it, and he still expects this marriage to be grand, so as to calm the hearts of the soldiers.

I didn't expect to be messed up by this bastard.

"Xuangu Qili will come to see me immediately."

The waiter waiting outside the door replied respectfully, and hurriedly ran out to find someone.

Master Pei's face was like ashes, Gu Qili was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he had been steadily suppressed by him all these years, but he didn't expect that he would make such a big mistake and give him a chance.

"Pei Xuan, I miss you as an old minister in the court, leave three points of face for you, and resign yourself."

Master Pei looked dejected, kowtowed to the emperor respectfully, thanked the emperor for his promotion over the years, and silently turned around and retreated.

In the afternoon, in the mansion of General Wensheng, the clerk's heartfelt laughter spread far and wide, and Hua Jingyun was even more satisfied after a meal.

Hua Jingyun wanted to ask him to train the guards on his behalf, but the guards were only a hundred people, so he paid 50,000 taels, looking at the big stack of silver tickets, not to mention the clerks, Wen Lingxiao's eyes were red.

Hooked Hua Jingyun's shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I promise to train you with one enemy and ten masters, I will tell you, I will teach them two battle formations, as long as they practice, even if it is a hundred people, it is an extremely strong combat power." ”

It is no secret that the battle array of the Wen family army is powerful, Wen Mian once led 500 Wen army to pursue the enemy, and fought thirteen consecutive battles in a month, with a brilliant record of thirteen victories.

Among them, the most shocking thing was that with a force of 500 people, the enemy army of 6,000 people was completely annihilated, and the news came to the whole dynasty in an uproar, and even the veteran generals of the DPRK and China said:

When you are a general, most of them eat the food rewarded by God, but the food rewarded by God is also good and bad, and this General Wen is the person who is chased by God to reward food, and few people can compare to his military talent.

The tactics of the battle array were also very popular in the army.

Hua Jingyun didn't hide his purpose, "I also want those people to learn one or two battle formations, and there is a guarantee for going out in the future." ”

"Don't hide it from my uncle, I have encountered several waves of ambushes when I returned to Beijing this time, and I have lost a lot of manpower.

Wen Lingxiao slapped Hua Jingyun on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely practice it for you." ”

The competition between the princes, the father and son did not intend to get involved, but they were still very concerned about Hua Jingyun's safety, after all, they were now their own family.

As he was talking, the chief steward Wang Qing came, followed by Gu Qili, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and after seeing the ceremony, Gu Qili gave a new dowry list, "Lord Wang, this is the dowry list reformulated by the Ministry of Rites, please take a look." ”

Hua Jingyun took it, and saw that the dowry had risen from sixty-eight to eighty-one, and most of the indiscriminate items had been replaced, and this one looked quite satisfactory.

"Hardship, Lord Gu."

Gu Qili hurriedly gave up his hand and took out a list of the process for the wedding day, not only the eight sedan chairs, accompanying musicians, etc., but also the detour route was also re-planned.

"The emperor's meaning, the general has been fighting for Dongshu for many years, and the hard work is high, and the whole city should congratulate the whole city on her marriage, in addition to the banquet in the South Wangfu and the General's Mansion at the same time on the wedding day, the emperor will give five carts of meat and ten carts of wine, so that the soldiers in the army will also be touched by the joy of the general and the prince."

The clerk reluctantly bowed his hand, "The emperor is kind, but the last general is disrespectful, and he will enter the palace later to personally thank the emperor." ”

"Lord Gu, the little girl marries and strives for the scenery, and the hard work of Lord Gu is doing his best."

Lord Gu bowed his hand, "This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, please rest assured that the prince and the general." ”

As for Pei Xuan, no one mentioned it, because there was no need.

Three days later, on the ninth day of the sixth month, on the auspicious day of the re-election of the Qin Tianjian, the people of Kyoto once again watched the officials of the Ministry of Rites go out with the dowry in joy.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites sat in the banquet, snorting and drinking spicy wine, sighing in their hearts, they were forcibly swept out of the house three days ago, and now they have become guests of the General's Mansion.

Pei Xuan asked himself to say goodbye to the old man in the court, and the emperor agreed without hesitation, and Gu Qili, a freshly baked scholar of the Ministry of Rites, made them beautiful on the first day of his tenure...

At this moment, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, the old lady Wen, who had already eaten, practiced calligraphy with Wen Mianmian in the Han Courtyard again, looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Mianmian, your grandmother will come back the day after tomorrow, you have to support your grandfather." ”

Wen Mianmian admired his great progress in words, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have even thought of the reason, and there is no problem with storage." ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandfather believes in you. ”

The few days he spent practicing calligraphy with his granddaughter were the happiest days he had in so many years, and his granddaughter's admiration made him very happy.
