Chapter 13: Hiring

On this day, Liu Shuyue, who had unloaded the burden in her heart, got up much later than usual, and Xiao Ju may not have seen Miss sleep so peacefully for a long time, so she waited outside the door, and waited until Miss got up to change her clothes and freshen up, and after dressing up and eating breakfast, Xiao Ju was preparing a carriage to accompany Miss to Pang Mansion as usual, but was stopped by Miss Miss.

"Miss, aren't you going to Shangshu Mansion today? Miss Pang hasn't fully recovered yet. Xiao Ju was a little puzzled, in the past few days when Miss Pangda was sick, Miss had been getting up early in the morning and rushing to Shangshu Mansion, taking care of Miss Pang. There was no intention of leaving today, Xiao Ju couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Ru Yan woke up yesterday and took medicine again, so she must be fine. Let's rest today, don't go to the mansion to disturb, besides, besides, I heard that Lord Shangshu said that the Prime Minister's Mansion will send someone to hire them today, and they will agree on the date of their marriage, this is a major event in Shangshu Mansion, after all, we are outsiders, and it is not appropriate to go at this time. Speaking of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Shuyue's expression was a little gloomy, but she quickly regained her spirit, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Xiaoju, you go and find all the embroidery materials, and then accompany me to the street to buy fabrics, Sister Ruyan must be about to leave the cabinet, I want to make a phoenix and peony wedding dress for her as a wedding gift." ”

"Miss, it takes a lot of effort to make a wedding dress, you have to put a lot of effort into it, and it also tests the embroidery, even if you rush to make it overnight, I'm afraid you have to embroider for more than half a month, why do you have to do it yourself, why don't we spend a lot of money to buy a good wedding dress and send a huge lady as a congratulatory gift?" Xiaoju has always felt sorry for her own young lady, and she didn't want her to work so hard, so she came up with the idea to let the young lady go directly to buy a good wedding dress.

But Liu Shuyue refused, for herself, perhaps this hand-sewn wedding dress carried her apologies to Pang Ruyan, and it was the only thing she could do for Pang Ruyan at present. "No, that's different, it's more sincere to make it yourself, and no matter how good the wedding dress is, you can buy it, how can I make it precious, this is unique, and it is also my greatest blessing to Sister Ru Yan, I hope she wears the wedding dress I sewed for her personally on the sedan chair to welcome her future." ”

Here, Liu Shuyue took the maid to the street, and the silk shops went to choose the fabric of the red wedding dress for Pang Ruyan. On the other hand, Pang Shangshu's Mansion is very lively today. After breakfast, a middle-aged woman wearing a red dress and holding a red handkerchief came to the door of Pang Mansion, she was dressed in red and was quite festive, her face was also full of joy, followed by groups of small maids, two people carried boxes of red gift boxes, and walked to Pang Mansion in an orderly manner.

It turned out that this was sent by the Prime Minister to be hired, and the woman who walked in the forefront and dressed up was the most famous matchmaker Zhang Matchmaker in the whole of Kyoto, and in the whole Kyoto I don't know how many relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles invited her to matchmaking, and this time the Prime Minister was naturally no exception.

When boxes of dowry gifts were brought into the Pang Mansion, the housekeeper in the mansion was already at the gate to greet them. And when Mrs. Zhang stepped into the gate of the Pang Mansion, she was already smiling, and even the gesture of walking seemed to be with a hint of happiness, and before she stepped into the main hall of the Pang Mansion, Mrs. Zhang's crisp voice had already sounded in her ears, "Lord Shangshu, Mrs. Zhang, I'm here to say hello to you!"

"Rejoicing and rejoicing, it is hard for Mrs. Zhang to run in person. Pang Shangshu was standing in the main hall, and when he saw Mrs. Zhang coming, his face was happy. Pang Shangshu is still quite satisfied with this family business, the two of them are right, he has a very good personal relationship with the prime minister, and the prime minister's son Xia Lang is also considerate of his daughter. It has only been more than a month since they were married, and they sent a matchmaker to hire them, which shows that they attach great importance to their daughter, and they also very much hope that their daughter will marry as soon as possible.

"Where, where can I run for the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or propose marriage to our famous Shangshu daughter in Kyoto, all of them are my blessings. Mrs. Zhang's clever mouth is well-known in the whole of Kyoto, and Pang Shangshu laughed happily in a few words, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhang to sit down and call someone to serve tea.

Mrs. Zhang said that the matchmaker proposed marriage and handled the marriage for 20 years, and she was also very thoughtful about the number of gifts, and before she sat down, she recruited someone to bring the gift list, "My lord, look, this is all the dowry gifts given by the Prime Minister to Miss, and there are ten boxes, Mrs. Zhang, I have said so many family affairs, and I have never seen so many dowries, it can be seen that the Prime Minister really attaches great importance to and loves our Miss Pang." Here's the gift list, you see. ”

Mrs. Zhang handed the gift list to Pang Shangshu, Pang Shangshu took the gift list and looked at it carefully, with a smile on her face that could not be hidden, and Mrs. Zhang continued to speak for the Prime Minister's house, "Here, there are not only countless gold and silver jewelry, but also many rare things, there are a pair of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, two thousand-year-old ginseng, and a pair of jade Ruyi rewarded by the emperor······ There are also two ink treasures by the famous painter Han Lu, the prime minister knows that Shangshu you have a lot of research on calligraphy and painting, and specially entrusted someone to buy it from someone else's hands. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Pang Shangshu heard that it was Han Lu's calligraphy and painting, he couldn't help but be even happier, and hurriedly stepped forward to check in front of the gift box. Sure enough, it is Han Lu's ink treasure, according to me, there are not many calligraphy and paintings left by Master Han Shu in the world, less than 100 pieces, most of them are collected in the palace, and there are not many people left, so these two paintings can be said to be hard to find, how many people want to find it, and the old man has also sent people to find it a few times, but unfortunately it has not worked, but it really bothered the prime minister. ”

"This is all the Prime Minister's heart, the Prime Minister's son can marry Ling Qianjin, it is really blessed, and it is worth it as much as the dowry. That's all, the prime minister is still too little, I'm afraid that I will treat the young lady badly. And the prime minister is such a son, the young lady will really marry in the future, it will definitely be like a baby, and the entire prime minister's mansion will not treat the young lady badly. ”
