Chapter 433 Repeated Warning
When An Qingzong heard that Dugulie came to ask for an explanation, he was really shocked. How could he offend the Dugu family?You must know that the Dugu family is the leader of the Guanlong nobles. Offending the Dugu family is tantamount to offending the entire Guanlong nobles.

As soon as he thought about it, An Qingzong guessed that it was probably caused by his brother An Qingxu, who just came to Chang'an a few days ago.

An Qingzong didn't care about confronting his brother for the time being, so he rushed out to greet him.

An Qingzong smiled and said: "Shangshu Dugu, which fragrant wind brought you here?"

Dugulie snorted, "I can't afford it, I'm here to ask for an explanation!"

An Qingzong was shocked, "What's going on?"

"I want to know, why did the warriors in your family follow my daughter, and what are your plans?"

An Qingzong quickly waved his hand, "Shangshu Dugu, I have a wife in my family, and I will never do such frivolous things. I don't even harass ordinary women, so why would I send someone to follow Shangshu's daughter?"

"It's as if I'm deliberately framing you."

Dugulie pointed to the horse behind him, "Isn't this the horse of Fan Yang's army?"

An Qingzong saw the corpse of the horse behind him, went up to check it quickly, and said to Dugu Lie for a while: "This is indeed the horse of Fan Yang's army, but I really don't know what's going on. Can Shangshu Dugu let me check it first?" check?"

Dugulie said coldly: "What's going on, I know very well, you take care of your brother! This time I am just warning, if there is another time, I will definitely use the Guanlong Order to collectively impeach your father An Lushan !"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Dugulie left the horse corpse and left with his men.

An Qingzong's face turned red and then turned pale, and he apologized again and again, watching Dugulie and his party walk away.

He turned around and returned to the mansion, and angrily found his brother An Qingxu who was drinking tea and listening to music in the side yard. He was so angry that he stepped forward to lift the table and punched An Qingxu. An Qingxu reacted quickly and turned over to hide After this punch.

"Brother, you are crazy!"

"am I crazy?"

An Qingzong yelled angrily: "You did a good deed, Dugu Lie came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, why didn't you deal with it? Did you send someone to threaten her daughter? What do you want to do?"

An Qingxu was stunned for a while, then suddenly cursed: "These useless bastards have exposed themselves, I'm going to kill them!"

An Qingzong gritted his teeth and said: "It's because you are stupid, thinking that others are also stupid. You have to do something, why don't you change horses, don't you know that there is a mark of Fan Yangjun on the horseshoe?"

An Qingxu became annoyed and said, "Who told you to admit it? Can't you not admit it? Fan Yangjun's horses are more than ours outside, why do you admit it?"

"Only you can take others for fools!"

An Qingzong gritted his teeth and said: "Dugu Lie knows it's you, he has already issued a threat, if there is another time, he will use the Guanlong Order to impeach father collectively, you take care of your private parts, don't ruin father's important affairs!"

"It's the same for you yourself. Who did the assassination of Yang Guozhong's son? I was the one who wiped his ass in the end. How much money did I give to that bitch of the Yang family!"

An Qingzong grabbed An Qingxu by the neck, narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that what I want to do? I'm carrying out my father's order, what are you doing? The Dugu family's daughter is getting married soon, but you won't let her go She, do you think the Dugu family is so easy to provoke? Do you know the consequences of using the Guanlong Order?"

How could An Qingxu not know what the Guanlong Order is? It is a way for the Guanlong nobles to fight in groups. The Guanlong nobles control all aspects of the Tang Dynasty. Once they collectively impeach their father, the emperor will definitely not be able to offend him and will definitely be dismissed. Father, and father is not ready yet, if you rebel in a hurry, I am afraid that more than half of the generals will not obey the order.

An Qingxu also realized that he had gotten into trouble, so he immediately froze, "Then what should the elder brother do now?"

When An Qingzong saw that his brother had confessed, he also slowed down his tone and said: "Fortunately, the daughter of the Dugu family did not have any accidents. You left Chang'an to return to Luoyang tonight, and handed over the four people to me, so that they would admit that they were drinking without permission. for."

An Qingxu nodded, "I just don't like that Li Xiu'er, he's as thin as a bone, he's not Wangfu, my elder brother also went back to Mrs. Guo Guo for me!"

"I will make arrangements. You can leave now. In short, you are not allowed to have any more ideas about the Dugu family's daughter. Li Ye is too cruel. If he touches his woman, we won't be able to survive if he takes revenge!"

An Qingxu packed up his things and left Chang'an City. An Qingzong ordered four warriors to be tied up and brought them to Dugu's house to apologize.

Dugulie got the news, walked out of the gate, and asked coldly: "Consort An, have you investigated clearly?"

An Qingzong clasped his fists and said: "It is indeed related to my brother An Qingxu. He came to Chang'an a few days ago and learned that the daughter of Dugu's family is getting married. , to relieve the Lord’s worries, but An Qingxu didn’t know about it, he rushed back to Luoyang yesterday afternoon, and Shangshu Dugu can interrogate these four evil slaves.”

An Qingzong pointed at the four warriors tied behind him, of course Dugulie knew that the other party was passing the buck to his subordinates, why An Qingxu returned to Luoyang yesterday, and someone saw him this morning.

Dugulie didn't want to expose it either, but said indifferently: "The road is open to the sky, each side walks, they followed my daughter's carriage, and they didn't break any law, I won't punish them, but I said ugly words first, just like what I said this afternoon, If there is a next time, I will definitely launch the Guanlong Order to impeach An Lushan collectively."

An Qingzong was sweating profusely, and said repeatedly: "I promise with the head of Xiangshang, there will never be a next time!"

An Qingzong knew that some things had to be done. Since he had passed the responsibility to his warriors, the four of them would have to bear the consequences. After An Qingzong returned to the mansion, he immediately ordered the four warriors to be broken, and ordered to be carried to Dugu Mansion for injury examination. .

This matter has just come to an end, now it is June [-]th, and there are still two full months until the wedding, and the Dugu family has also begun to actively prepare for it.

Of course, Pei Sanniang is also very active in organizing the wedding for her son.

Pei Sanniang found a sixth shop for wedding celebrations. Unlike the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had a prosperous commodity economy, and there were many such wedding shops. Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty only had a dozen of them, ranging from high-end to low-end.

Wedding shops like this in the Tang Dynasty also had practical needs. For example, wild geese must be used for the betrothal gift. Wild geese fly to the south in winter. Where can I find them if I want them?
At this time, wood carving wild geese are generally used instead, but you can’t spend a few pennies to carve one, only use it once, so ordinary people will spend dozens of dollars to rent a wild goose from the wedding shop, and return it to the shop after use .

Another example is the sedan chair for meeting the relatives, the drummer, the bride who is in charge of makeup and reception, the master of ceremonies who is in charge of presiding over the wedding, as well as the felt blanket for the entrance, a special green house, etc. If you prepare it yourself, you will not only spend a lot of money and energy, And the etiquette is not necessarily in place. If you invite a wedding shop, these things are all prepared by them, which will save a lot of money.

The person who received Pei Sanniang was the shopkeeper of the wedding shop, surnamed Gong, a middle-aged fat man with a big smile on his face.

"Madam, here are two lists, one is the items we need to prepare, and the other is the items Madam needs to prepare."

Pei Sanniang glanced at the list that needed to be prepared by herself. The dense variety of items on the list made her frown, and she was a little dissatisfied: "I went to the Century Marriage Store a few days ago, and they didn't ask me to prepare so many things. It's all them Prepare yourself, let me see if your shop has forgotten to turn on the lights, and it will be dark when you enter the door!"

Aunt Mu who accompanied her gave her a tug, "Don't worry, listen to the shopkeeper's explanation!"

Shopkeeper Gong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "It stands to reason that you shouldn't comment casually on your peers, but I have to be honest, the century-old marriage store that Madam just mentioned is for small families' weddings, so it won't be so particular, like For the entry-level felt blankets, they prepare two, or linen blankets, which are used one after the other. We prepare 72 here, all of which are high-quality wool felt blankets. They are spread from the gate all the way in. This is a wealthy family. wedding requirements."

Pei Sanniang's face was a little hot. When she had a wedding in Yonghefang, she always used two felt blankets alternately for the bride's feet. She thought it was a rule, but it turned out that these people were just trying to save money.
