Chapter 101: The Day of Marriage

Of course, it didn't end so easily.

Soon after the news of Xue Shibalang's injury and paralysis came out, there was another major event in Chang'an City - Princess Tangchang's concubine Xue Xiu, who was gifted by a friend, got a delicate and lovely concubine, who loved her like a treasure, and went to her every day when she went home, and the two loved her very much. Princess Tang Chang was jealous when she found out, and she was stunned to drag people over when Xue Xiu went out to meet friends, cut off the ears and nose of the little beauty, and tortured people to death.

That's not all, after Xue Xiu came back, she lured Xue Xiu to herself again, and used the murder weapon that gave the little beauty "ears and noses" to press Xue Xiu's head, wanting to cut off Xue Xiu's hair as a sign of humiliation. Xue Xiu struggled hard, and finally escaped from the tiger's den, and ran to the gate of Xingqing Palace in disheveled clothes and knelt on the ground and shouted, begging Xuanzong to administer justice for him.

Things got to this point, and Xuanzong was not too biased, so he had to call Princess Tangchang into the palace to reprimand her, and ordered her to apologize to the concubine and think about it behind closed doors for a month.

That is, for at least a month, their world was quiet.

Hearing the news, Mu Jiaojiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now, she can wait for her to get married with peace of mind.

A month and a half is not long, but it is not short. With all kinds of shocking news in Chang'an City, the day when Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu got married has also come.

On the third day of the seventh lunar month, Mu Jiaojiao got up early in the morning and went to greet Mu You and Gong as usual.

Gong looked at her, and thought of the half of the family wealth that was about to be divided, and her flesh hurt terribly—those were originally her eleven langs! Although she took the initiative to put forward this opinion to Mu You that day, she also received Mu You's strong approval. Mu You also excitedly held her hand and shouted, "You are really my good wife, and you have thought everything out of me." The sixth lady knows that you think about her so wholeheartedly, and she will definitely be very grateful to you!"

What kind of gratitude did she want? It was her son's money! In this way, she gave it to this girl who had no mother-daughter relationship with her.

So now, she can't look down on Mu Jiaojiao at all. One more look, her heart was like being pierced into a sharp knife, and it hurt bloody.

So, under the pretext of preparing wedding clothes and other things for Mu Jiaojiao, she took her daughter Jiu Niangzi out.

Mu You took the opportunity to call Mu Jiaojiao to him again, and handed a three-inch square sour branch wooden box to Mu Jiaojiao's palm: "Jiaojiao, you are going to get married today, and you will become a member of your mother-in-law's family in the future, and Daddy can't take care of you if he wants to." This box contains a few gold leaves, as well as a few land deeds in Yangzhou and Hangzhou, which I prepared for you in addition to the dowry. If you have a bad situation in the future, you can also have a place to go. ”

"Daddy......" Mu Jiaojiao's heart pulled suddenly, her eyes were pantothenic, and she threw herself into his arms and cried.

Mu You also had tears in her eyes, and gently rubbed the top of her head: "Okay, today is your good day, don't cry." You have a good rest during the day, and after a while, you can marry your in-laws in good spirits. When you arrive at your mother-in-law's house at night, you are still affected! Your body is already weak, how can you toss like this? It's just that the Cui family is also a family of gate valves, and there must be a lot of rules, so you have to grit your teeth and endure it......

As he spoke, his voice choked up.

The father and daughter hugged each other and shed a few tears, but Mu You still restrained it after all. also explained some precautions after she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, and ruthlessly drove her back to the room to rest.

In the afternoon, Aunt Mu, Mu Wanying and other aunts and sisters came back. Everyone hugged Mu Jiaojiao in the middle, scrambling to dress her up. Among them, Mu Mingxuan is the most active before and after running.

Aunt Mu sat aside, looking at Mu Jiaojiao, who was sitting quietly in front of the dressing mirror, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart-with Mu Jiaojiao, a lady who married into the old mansion, she was useless after she just climbed the Chang'an Order, right? These days, she has obviously noticed that the attitude of her family towards her is much colder. But what made her heart cold the most was Mrs. Cao-

On that day, Steward Cao came to the door to propose marriage, but not only did he not settle the family matter, but returned to Cao's mansion in a gloomy manner. As soon as they asked, they learned that Mu Jiaojiao was actually courted by so many families at the same time, including the Cui family, whose status was much higher than that of the Cao family!

"It must be fake! What is her identity, how could the Cui family take a fancy to her? Maybe she was asking for a concubine from a side branch of the Cui family, and she went to great lengths to make such a big reputation, isn't it just to climb the high branches? She can only climb such a high branch!" This was the first reaction of the old lady Cao after learning the news.

But when Steward Cao told her that it was Mrs. Wang, the concubine of the Cui family, who came to propose marriage on behalf of the Cui family, she was stunned.

Maybe the Cui family saw that she had cured Cui Langjun's face, and deliberately made such a move, intending to elevate her identity. In this way, she can be highly regarded if she marries into another family. Anyway, this kind of thing that adds face to people, does the Cui family do less?"

Anyway, she just didn't admit that the Cui family would look down on Mu Jiaojiao.

In fact, how could Aunt Mu not be skeptical about this matter in her heart? But looking at Mu Jiaojiao's unfazed posture and calm appearance, she couldn't help but be secretly frightened - such a daughter's family, ordinary people will definitely not be able to keep it. I'm afraid that only those years of gate valve families can tolerate her. Moreover, she gradually discovered that the indifferent and graceful bearing revealed by Mu Jiaojiao was almost exactly the same as many famous ladies she had seen, and even surpassed many ladies and nobles......

However, on the third day after Mrs. Cao made such a judgment, the slap in the face happened again - the Cui family really came to the door to propose! And it was upright, lively, three media and six hires, and Mu Jiaojiao, who married with a serious number of courtesies.

This incident caused turmoil in Chang'an City at that time, and it was also the same in Caofu.

Mrs. Cao was stunned for a long time before she slowly opened her mouth: "The Cui family is crazy, right? Why can't they think about it like this, just to repay their kindness, they will lose the whole life of a good little Langjun?"

"This must have been asked by her dead face!" Cao Shu suddenly exclaimed, "Just like last time, she cured my illness, so she had to take my favorite shrimp bracelet as a thank you gift." It must be the same this time. Otherwise, who can look down on her with such a high courtyard of the Cui family? She must have spent the night in the Cui family, fascinated by the wealth and luxury of the Cui family, and she wanted to live there for the rest of her life to enjoy glory and wealth. The Cui family saw that she had cured Cui Da Langjun's kindness, and they were embarrassed to refuse, so they had to launch a concubine Lang Jun to perfunctory her. ”

"Thirteen Niang, don't talk nonsense! Langjun of the Cui family, even if he is a concubine, he is still golden and noble, how can he push it out if he wants to push it out perfunctory?" Aunt Mu was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly scolded her.

Mrs. Cao was not happy. She hugged Cao Shu into her arms: "I think what Thirteen Niang said is very right." Besides, what other reason do you have to explain this? It's not that you haven't seen the character of Mu Niangzi, your eyelids are so shallow, you have to pull any good thing into your arms when you see it, as if you have never seen a good thing!"

"Yes. When she first entered our house, she refused to let go of anything, and when she saw more good things at Cui's house, of course, she couldn't let go. With the support of the highest elder in the family, Cao Shu is even more confident.

Aunt Mu was anxious. But in front of Mrs. Cao, she didn't dare to say a word.

Mrs. Cao is getting older and more self-righteous. I like Cao Shu again, and Cao Shu's temperament is exactly the same as when she was young, straightforward and straightforward. Cao Shu did what he liked, and simply gave full play to this side of his temperament. It's just that she's just an aunt and she's not qualified to discipline her daughter at all, and now she can only watch her daughter go further and further down this evil road.

At this time, Mrs. Cao couldn't stand it anymore, so she said softly: "That being said, it is a fact that the Mu family and the Cao family are married now. This is also a happy event for our relatives, old lady, should we also send a generous gift to celebrate?"

"Of course, gifts are meant to be given, but generous gifts are not necessary. The identity of the Mu family is there, and they have been a merchant who has not been on the stage all their lives. Let's give them generous gifts, and they should be afraid of the Cui family's might and deliberately curry favor with them! We can't get used to them being frivolous! How did the Mu family give gifts when they did happy events in the past, and how will they give it in the future!"

Mrs. Cao frowned slightly, and persuaded a few more words. But looking at the arrogant expressions of Mrs. Cao and Cao Shu, they finally gave up.

But when she turned around and went out, she quietly asked someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Mu family, but when she reported to Mrs. Cao, she said that it was half thin.

On the day of marriage, Aunt Mu brought Cao Shu to add makeup, and Mrs. Cao specially prepared a thick makeup gift and handed it to Aunt Mu for her to bring over.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cao was prepared. Otherwise, when their mother and daughter came over and saw the mountain-like makeup gifts stacked in Mu Jiaojiao's room, how could they get the little things they had in hand?

This fact also clearly made Aunt Mu understand that her time had passed. From now on, the future of the Mu family will be firmly tied to Mu Jiaojiao. Her aunt, who has been married for many years, is about to become a waste chess.

Like Aunt Mu, Cao Shu is also fluttering. Of course, at a young age, she didn't think as deeply as Aunt Mu, and all she thought about in her heart was - why? This merchant's daughter, doesn't she know how to do some medical skills, how can she become famous in just a few months, and she can still marry so beautifully today!

Just now, when she was sitting here, she heard a report that the old dignitaries in Chang'an City, the Wang family, the Zheng family, the Li family, and the Lu family all sent makeup gifts. There are also upstart Cheng family, Qin family, Wei Chi family and other military generals who have been inherited for more than 100 years, and there are also generous gifts to give. In addition, the Pei family, the Xue family, the Wei family, and the Liu family, who have the four surnames in Guanzhong, also rushed to this excitement. There are also many famous people who have come to show their faces. Although most of them didn't arrive, the list of names alone was enough to give her a long face.

In the past, only the treatment that only a noblewoman with an extremely prominent status in Chang'an City could have, was actually met by her! How can this not make people crazy with jealousy?

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao talking and laughing surrounded by many people, she finally couldn't help it, and said in a weird way: "Cousin Mu is really blessed." With his good medical skills, he saved so many lives, and he was liked by so many people. Even the Cui family, who had a skin-to-skin relationship with another family Langjun in the Peony Building that day, didn't care, and still married in a big way, I don't know how you did it? We are all blood relatives, you can't hide your secrets! Whether we can marry a good family in the rest of our lives is all tied to you!"
