Chapter 435 Returning to the capital
Wang said slowly: "The Dugu family has never objected to taking concubines. This is also for the prosperity of the children. The Dugu family has no other requirements. If the man wants to take concubines in the future, please respect his wife's opinion."

Taking a concubine is a very important issue in marriage, because it will harm the interests of the main wife. It is rather vague who decides who takes the concubine in a big family. Generally, whoever is strong will make the decision.

For example, if Li Dai didn't take concubines, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the Li family was dominated by Pei Sanniang.

The Dugu family is of course worried. With such a powerful mother-in-law, the mother-in-law must be the one who decides whether Li Ye will take a concubine in the future. If the Li family wants their sons to prosper, Pei Sanniang will let her son marry seven or eight concubines at once. Will the daughter of the Dugu family survive? up?
The Dugu family's worries are not unreasonable. Don't look at the relationship between Xinyue and her mother-in-law is good. It means that they have not involved their vital interests. Once their vital interests are involved, there will definitely be conflicts. The biggest hidden danger is taking concubines.

Therefore, if the Dugu family wants to be ugly, they should first say it first. The Dugu family does not object to taking concubines, but they must respect Dugu Xinyue's opinion.

Pei Sanniang also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, she thought that the Dugu family would object to taking concubines, since they did not object, then it would be easy to deal with, first marry someone into the family, and discuss the matter of taking concubines later.

"Don't worry about mother-in-law! Taking a concubine is a matter for the future. Even if there is, I will definitely respect Xinyue's opinion. Everyone is a reasonable person. I will also treat Xinyue as my own daughter and will not let her be wronged. "

Wang said with a smile: "Since my in-laws said so, I am also relieved. Xinyue's biological mother passed away early. She was always brought up by an aunt in the palace. Later, she learned art and followed her master. In fact, the family's influence on her It's not big, and I can't control her very much, she has a strong personality, if there is anything wrong with her in the future, please forgive her in-laws."

Pei Sanniang smiled, "I won't misjudge people. Xinyue is just, pure and kind, and has a very good nature. That's why I am willing to accept her as my daughter-in-law. As for petty temper, everyone has it. Let's all be considerate of each other!"

"I'm relieved to have my in-laws."

The three drank tea, and Pei Sanniang remembered something again, and hurriedly said, "Today I went to the wedding shop."

Before Pei Sanniang finished speaking, Duguhui couldn't help but interjected: "Madam, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt, which wedding shop did you choose?"

"I looked at many stores, and finally chose Hongyuan Wedding Shop."

"Not bad! Not bad! Tianman and Hongyuan are the two best wedding shops in Chang'an. When I got married, I chose Tianman, because Tianman is the property of my husband's family, and Hongyuan is also good. It is the grandson's house. industry."

Pei Sanniang also nodded, "It would be much more convenient to have a wedding shop, otherwise I really don't know where to start, it's a mess."

Duguhui actually wanted to solicit this business for her husband's Tianman wedding shop. She heard that the other party used the Hongyuan wedding shop, so she didn't mention it. In fact, she didn't say that the Hongyuan wedding shop was also her husband's Dou family. It is jointly organized with the Changsun family, and the Dou family has half of the members, but it is run by the Changsun family.

She smiled and said, "Madam, continue!"

"At that time we talked about a welcoming route, whether to go by land or by water, and I said I would discuss it with my in-laws."

Mrs. Wang smiled slightly and said: "If you hold a wedding in the garden, it is better and more convenient to use the waterway, and the Dugu family has two painting boats, and the boatman is also a servant of the Dugu family. One of the big painting boats can only be used by the owner. I went to rent it outside, and I don’t know how many relatives the rented painting boat has welcomed, so I always feel uncomfortable.”

Pei Sanniang was overjoyed, "Then decide to take the waterway, and I'll tell the wedding shop to use my own painting boat."

The three of them discussed the details for a while, and they unanimously decided that Dugu's family would send some wedding items over instead of renting them outside. The master of ceremonies is very important and involves many dignitaries.

There is also an important role here, that is the old lady Dugu, the two most important links of hair knotting and marriage must be presided over by her, the oldest female elder.

On June 26, Li Ye led a hundred cavalrymen to finally arrive in Chang'an. They traveled day and night, took a month and ten days, and traveled eight thousand miles. Both men and horses became very black and thin.

Unable to bring more than a hundred cavalry into the city, Li Ye contracted a large inn outside the city for the soldiers to live in.

He himself took two cavalrymen and led their horses into the city.

After leaving Chang'an for a year and a half, and coming back this time, Chang'an's scenery remains the same, but Li Ye has a feeling of being separated from the world.

The three of them came to Xuanpingfang, and it happened to be afternoon at this time. They saw a carriage parked in front of their house, and their father Li Dai came out of the carriage.

Li Dai was wearing a red official uniform with a gold belt on his waist. This was the official uniform of the fourth and fifth rank officials. Li Ye remembered that his father was a senior official from the fourth rank. He wondered if he had been promoted.

If Li Dai felt something, when he turned around, he suddenly saw his son walking in the distance. He was surprised and happy, and quickly called the porter, "Go and inform Madam, the son is back!"

The concierge rushed in, and Li Dai strode up, hugging his son tightly, "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived, just entered the city."

"So fast, I mean it's only been forty days from Suiye to here!"

Li Ye nodded, "Travel day and night, more than two hundred miles a day."

Li Dai looked at his son and sighed, "It must have been hard work. Seeing you so thin, your mother must feel very distressed."

"Ye'er!" Her mother Pei Sanniang's voice came from not far away.

When Li Ye turned his head, he saw his mother running out of the house. He patted his father's arm, walked forward quickly, and stretched out his arms to his mother.

Pei Sanniang ran forward and hugged her son tightly, her eyes turned red, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Ye'er, didn't you say that spring will come back? Mother's neck is sore from anticipation."

"Mom, haven't I come back now? Hey! It's not easy to come back."

Pei Sanniang held her son's face, feeling distressed again, "Why are you so skinny, you're almost out of shape."

"Mother, it's too exaggerated. It's just that the road was hard and I got a little tan."

"Hurry up and gain weight! How can you attend the wedding with your appearance?"

"Wedding?" Li Ye was taken aback for a moment.

Pei Sanniang tapped him on the head, "You brat, you won't forget about your marriage!"

"No! No! How could I forget!"

Li Ye laughed dryly, all he was thinking about was increasing the number of troops, and he really forgot about the marriage.

"Mom, when, I mean the wedding time?"

Pei Sanniang knows her son too well, he must have forgotten about the marriage in this way.

Pei Sanniang gritted her teeth and said, "The second day of Mid-Autumn Festival, August 20th, there are still [-] days in a month. Do you want me to say it again?"

"No need, I remembered, mother, this is for you." Li Ye placed two heavy leather bags in front of his mother.

"What is it?"

Li Ye whispered in his mother's ear: "Twenty thousand gold coins!"

Pei Sanniang's eyes lit up, she smiled and said, "It just happened to be used to order a banquet, so it's really timely."

They ordered ten restaurants to provide dishes for the wedding banquet, which cost more than [-] guan. Pei Sanniang was heartbroken and wasted money like water, and her son brought the money in time.

Li Dai ordered the steward to bring the two soldiers in to rest and eat, and the horses were also brought in.

He walked over and said with a smile: "Let's go inside and talk!"

"Okay! Take my bag, there are important things in it."

Li Ye was carrying a horse bag, and the husband and wife walked out to the back house of the mansion surrounded by their son.
