Chapter 816 Obstruction
On the tenth day of June, the Zhao family's dowry was brought over and placed in the courtyard to dry.
Don't look at the color of the dowry that the princess prepared for the son. The color is good, and it looks very beautiful, but look at the concubine she helped the son choose. , you can know that this marriage is just a superficial look.
Seeing some contempt in the eyes of many people, Concubine Yu was even more delighted. If the concubine could not afford the reward, would the prince continue to marry in the future? He couldn't make the palace so big that no one was in charge, right? In the end, the blame still had to fall on her head.
Fortunately, it still came!
After finishing the dowry, she went back to the courtyard. Concubine Yu stood under the eaves, looking at the main courtyard in front of her. A hundred-year-old ginkgo canopy covered half of the main courtyard. Only when she was far away could she see clearly , the ginkgo tree is tall. Towering into the sky.
She was the latest to come, the courtyard where the four side concubines lived, she lived in the West Courtyard, while Hua Ying, a servant who used to serve the Rong family, lived in the East Head Courtyard, which is closest to the main courtyard. She has been here these days, Xiang Wang basically lived in the East Headquarters.
How can this not annoy Concubine Yu?
Xiao Lingjing went to see the dowry with her sisters and came back, she complained, "Mother, why didn't you wait for me and came back alone?"
Yu looked at her charming daughter and smiled, "Aren't you with your elder sister, second elder sister and fourth younger sister? It's nothing to look at, so why am I still staying there?"
Xiao Lingjing entered the room with her mother's arms in her arms, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I heard from people in the West Head Court that the dowry of the second sister-in-law is very poor, but my daughter saw that she had everything she should have, how could it be so poor?" Woolen cloth?"
Concubine Ma lives in the West Head Court. Concubine Ma should have said this. Concubine Yu laughed in her heart and said that Ma's family is still the same as before, relying on herself to raise a son. , Can you say this casually now? "
King Xiang has already signed up for the Zhezi, and asked for the conferment for the Zhao family. I heard that the canonization edict is already on the way. The Zhao family has not yet passed the family and is the concubine. Even if the dowry is poor, it cannot be said in the open.
"She is comparing the princess's dowry with your second sister-in-law's, is that comparable?" Yu Shi said, "From now on, just listen to what you say, and never say it."
Her daughter hasn't talked about her marriage yet, right now, no matter what, she can't offend Xie Zhiwei and Zhao Shi.
On June 12th, Xie Zhiwei came over at five o'clock, and the affairs of the mansion were left to Xiao Wei. Today, Xiao Ke is the groom's official, so how can he worry about these things?
Xie Zhiwei is busy in the event hall, Huaying is on the sidelines, Zimo and Xuantao are both capable of doing things, and she is only making decisions on some major matters.
At the time of the hour, Mrs. Ma came and first served tea to Xie Zhiwei. She is the side concubine of King Xiang. her tea.
"The guests haven't come yet, why isn't the side concubine resting in the yard?"
"I saw that the fourth master was too busy outside, and I still scolded the third master. Why are you so blind? If you don't help the fourth master, can it be that the family's affairs can't be done by one person? It's said that beating tigers Brother, I'm also to blame for father and son soldiers in battle, I teach him too little on weekdays."
Xie Zhiwei couldn't accept these words. The son didn't teach his father's fault, and he didn't know whether Mrs. Ma was blaming himself or King Xiang.
She picked up the tea, moistened her throat, and the manager talked back and forth, saying that there were too many guests in front of her, and she couldn't cope with the tea supply. She wanted to see where I could call two people to help. Furthermore, there were not enough tea cups.
Xie Zhiwei thought for a while, "Sweep the garden up and down, and help watch the stove. The stove watcher on the tea is moved out, and it's in charge of making tea. Those who make tea before, follow the ones who serve tea, and let people do things. Be smart, learn, and nothing will go wrong."
"yes!"
Xie Zhiwei asked Xuantao to put a pair of cards for the steward, and went to the warehouse to bring out some tea cups for use, and instructed, "Let the word out, if it is done well, it will be changed from the sweeping to the tea."
On the tea in Prince Xiang's Mansion, occasionally guests will give a reward when they come. How can the errands on the sanitation be compared?
There are countless posts under the Prince Xiang's Mansion, and I don't know who these uninvited people are. She has kept 30% of the surplus, but now it seems that it is not enough.
However, when the eldest son of Prince Xiang's Mansion got married, naturally many people came to curry favor.
Mrs. Ma flattered from the side, "The princess is still very experienced in doing things. If it were me, I wouldn't know how to deal with this situation. I would be scared to death."
Xuantao glanced at Mrs. Ma lightly. She was just a concubine, and she put herself in the same position as the princess. She really didn't know if she could speak or not.
Xie Zhiwei still didn’t say anything after all, if he asked Xiao Heng to help Xiao Wei, but since Xiao Heng wants to go by himself, it’s fine.
Xiao Heng was urged to the front yard by Mrs. Ma, but although he is a concubine of Prince Xiang's mansion, he has no fame or official position, unlike Xiao Wei, who followed Xiao Xun to make contributions and made great achievements. Among the military generals, he is familiar. Many people know that Xiao Xun and his wife value him, and they are also very warm to him.
What is Xiao Heng? He did know some dandies, but the ones who came today were not dandies.
The stewards all told Xiao Wei about the matter in the front yard, but no one responded to Xiao Heng. He stayed for a while, got angry, walked out, and saw Chu Tianyou coming.
"How did you come?"
Xiao Heng had read the guest list, and there was no one from Nan'an Bo's residence in the palace. Not only did Chu Tianyou come by himself, but he also gave a gift of five hundred taels of silver, which was a coral about two feet high. Big deal.
"Third Young Master, congratulations!" After Chu Tianyou and Xiao Heng met the ceremony, they walked in and said to Xiao Heng in a low voice, "I can't help it. I heard that there is news from the palace that my family's title is going to be taken away. My father Let me come to the palace to celebrate overnight, to see if I can get in touch with the princess or the princess, and to help with a few words of kindness."
Once a gentleman and a courtier, the emperor's health is not looking good, Xiao Xun is surrounded but not attacked, Chen Min is like a huge magnet, attracting some of Emperor Shoukang's direct relatives and those who oppose Xiao Xun In the past, after Xiao Changyao was rescued, all these people would be wiped out.
Others couldn't understand Xiao Xun's actions, but Lu Yan understood it at a glance, and felt that this method was good.
Dayong can no longer withstand too much turmoil. The government was corrupt for more than ten years, and Xiao Xun fought in the west and north. Now the territory is vast, but there are not many available people. Once civil strife occurs, the old forces in the west and north If there is a resurgence, if there is chaos, Dayong will be in danger.
Today's update!
