Chapter 688 Engagement Banquet (Third Watch)

Let her spend money on those lowly common people?
This is simply an insult to her.This money might as well be used to give gifts to other nobles in the capital to build their reputation.

Cui Yafeng was very angry, but she couldn't show it in front of the expectant Lu Nanny.She just said weakly: "Is it appropriate for me, an unmarried woman, to do this? I, I have never done this before. I only have people go to the temple to donate sesame oil money."

Nanny Lu smiled, "Many aristocratic women in the capital learn to do good deeds from Princess Wei. What's wrong? If you show up and let the common people see, they will definitely be able to better understand your character. "

The existence of the princess of the state of Wei also drove the atmosphere in the capital to become more open.

She added, "The empress dowager and the eldest princess often send people out of the palace to give porridge." She was not sure about the empress dowager, after all, she had served the empress dowager before.

Hearing the names of the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess, Cui Yafeng immediately said: "You are right, I should do something to atone for my grandmother. Look, how much money should I give?"

She thought that if she gave out porridge, a few dozen taels of silver would be enough.If it is done twice a month, it will be a thousand taels at most in a year.She can barely accept spending this money to buy fame.

Mother Lu said: "Princess Wei Guo spends more than [-] taels or even [-] taels of money on this every year. Our family is not as rich as the princess, and [-] taels a year is almost the same."

Ten thousand taels!Still every year!
If [-] taels could be exchanged for the favor of the elites in the capital, then Cui Yafeng would not hesitate to spend the money.But using it on the low-level civilians she looks down on is like cutting her flesh with a knife, don't mention how distressed it is.

She regretted asking Nanny Lu for the initiative, but now she was directly put on fire.She endured the pain in her heart and made her voice sound very sincere, "You are right, this aspect is up to you to arrange."

The only thing she can do is to keep out of sight.

Nanny Lu smiled, "I knew Miss was kind-hearted."

Ten thousand taels a year in exchange for kind-hearted evaluations is really not ordinary expensive.

Cui Yafeng, who was in a bad mood, had no choice but to go to the small Buddhist hall to read scriptures, and use scriptures to calm himself down.

She felt that Su Yueling might be born to restrain their Cui family. First, she made her grandmother a prisoner, and now she lost a lot of money.

So in the next period of time, Cui Yafeng, who was distressed by Yinzi, became more at ease, chanting scriptures and doing needlework every day.

……

Time passed without haste, and soon it was Su Tianbao's engagement banquet.

Although Su Tianbao has a house in the capital, but the house has two entrances, so it is not suitable for entertaining guests.In addition, Su Yueling wanted to support him, so the engagement banquet was held directly at the Princess Mansion.

The betrothal gift must be displayed first for the guests to see, and then sent to the woman.

Seeing the dazzling array of betrothal gifts, the guests who arrived early couldn't help saying hello in their hearts.The brocade, wedding cakes, spices and other things are all top-notch, especially there are sixteen bottles of wine inside, which can be said to be very valuable.The gift money is five thousand taels, which is not low in the capital.They also saw a lot of jewelry and utensils that were obviously court style.Could it be that the princess of Weiguo paid for her own cousin to support the scene?

Several capable maidservants around Su Yueling came out to help entertain the guests, and Biyu even whispered something in Su Liaoshi's ear, lest she show timidity.

Biyu smiled and said: "The two masters entered the palace earlier, and the saint did not dislike them and rewarded them with many things. The old lady picked some out as dowry gifts."

The others suddenly realized that Su Liao and Su Dashan had also entered the palace.

The big house of the Su family has more heritage than they imagined.Some families with concubine daughters of the right age can't help but sigh, feeling that they have missed a good marriage.But Su Tianbao's marriage was settled, so they regretted it for a while, and quickly threw away their hands to congratulate the master.

Su Tianbao's marriage is settled, but there are two serious masters in the Yuan family who have not yet settled their marriage.

They also wondered, what kind of family did Yuan Suifeng and Yuan Baoshu want to find, and they hadn't seen each other until now.At their age, other families have already married wives.Although they were muttering in their hearts, they would not ask to make their master feel bad.The guests also noticed that there was a woman who looked somewhat similar to Yuan Baoshu beside her.

Mrs. Pang immediately recognized that this was Yuan Baoyi, the second wife of the Yuan family, she had seen it before.

Huh, so it seems that the second room and their first room have been rebuilt?
Of course, she couldn't hide the fact that Yuan Baoyi opened a store in the capital, especially those stores were booming, Madam Pang couldn't help feeling that each girl from the Yuan family was more business-minded than the other.Whoever marries into the door is like marrying a golden mountain.

Mrs. Pang said with a smile: "This is Baoyi, right? I haven't seen you for a while, and Baoyi has become more and more beautiful. I only regret that I didn't have more sons, otherwise I could hire him in."

All her sons are married, and her grandchildren are all in her arms. Naturally, there is no daughter-in-law to marry.

Mrs. Pang's words were not out of politeness, she really thought that the girls from the Yuan family were nice.

Yuan Baoyi greeted Mrs. Pang neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a smile: "Madam has also changed, she looks younger, I wonder what panacea Madam has taken recently?"

She is doing business outside, so she has developed her eloquence a long time ago.

The smile on Mrs. Pang's face deepened, she held Yuan Baoyi and talked for a while, then took off the bracelet from her hand and gave it to her.

Mrs. Pang and Su Yueling are close, and to a certain extent, Su Yueling's attitude can be seen from her attitude.The other guests knew how to treat Yuan Baoyi.

Yuan Baoyi would not be flattered by their attitude, she knew that they were still looking at it for her sister-in-law's sake, not for her.What she has to do is not to lose face at home.

Accompanying Yuan Baoshu to entertain some guests, Yuan Baoyi was a little tired, and was thinking of going back to the yard to drink some water and eat a piece of pastry before coming out. When he passed the front yard, he suddenly heard a familiar voice—why did it sound like What does Di Yuanhang look like?

Thinking of Di Yuanhang, Yuan Baoyi felt a little uncomfortable—at that time, because of the partnership between the two, she helped Di Yuanhang read the account books on his village, and circled the part where the stewards made fake accounts.Di Yuanhang thanked her very much, and even specially selected jewelry for her.It's just that Yuan Baoyi directly refused, it's still too intimate to give jewelry.Apart from a cooperative relationship, the two of them can only be regarded as friends at best.

After that, the relationship between her and Di Yuanhang looked the same as before, but there were more things that I couldn't explain clearly.

Yuan Baoyi asked the maid beside her, "Go and ask, did the mansion invite Di Yuanhang over today?"
