The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 19 Congrats
The morning sun rises slowly, breaking through the faint morning light.

The Yan family has long been covered with red silk and decorated with lanterns and festoons.

The ground was covered with a red carpet, and the verandahs were covered with red silk. Everyone who was busy walking around in the mansion had a happy smile on their face, as if they had the honor of being friends with Prime Minister Su.

In the back house of the Yan family, Yan Yingzhu was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, wearing a wedding dress embroidered with gold thread and a white crane. Her grandma was dressing her up. Her hair was pulled up into a high bun, and she shook her beaded hairpin and put a flower bud on her forehead. Look carefully in the mirror.

This elegant and luxurious dress should be festive and noble.

Qin Ruizhi, that little bird, will never enjoy such glory in her lifetime.

Yan Yingzhu thought so in his heart.

As soon as this thought arose, it was quickly extinguished.

On such a happy day, how could we compare it to that bird? It was really unlucky.

Yan Yingzhu let out a long breath.

At this moment, Mrs. Yan opened the door and came in. She held a delicate wooden box in her hand. She smiled when she saw her daughter.

Upon seeing this, Mammy quickly saluted Mrs. Yan, then stepped aside from Yan Yingzhu to make room for Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan walked to Yan Yingzhu, looked at her daughter in the mirror, and her figure was reflected in the mirror.

"Oh, look at my daughter. She is as beautiful as a fairy. Not even the noble family in Kyoto can raise such a delicate and beautiful daughter."

Yan Yingzhu smiled shyly and lowered his head slightly, "My mother actually made fun of me."

Mrs. Yan put her hands on Yan Yingzhu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Yingzhu will be the young lady of Prime Minister Su's house from now on. Even my mother will respect you even when she sees you. How dare you make fun of you? Yingzhu, you are Mother's pride, it won't be long before your father can rejoin the court as an official and become Prime Minister Su's right-hand man. It's all thanks to you that the Yan family can make a comeback and regain its glory."

Yan Yingzhu held her mother's hand with her backhand, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. "What did my mother say? Yingzhu should thank her for planning for me. Mother, please rest assured that the humiliation you have suffered will definitely go to Yingzhu." I will get it back for you."

Mrs. Yan smiled calmly, "Those are all trivial matters. As long as my daughter gets married smoothly and lives a peaceful and prosperous life, I will be satisfied. As for those bed bugs, you don't have to worry about them at all. Don't worry, I have already arranged everything. ”

The arrangement Mrs. Yan mentioned was of course referring to Qin Ruizhi.

Qin Ruizhi can only die in the quagmire of Puzhou for the rest of her life. She should never dream of returning to Kyoto and become a stumbling block on her daughter's road to wealth.

However, today was her daughter's wedding day, and she didn't want to spoil her daughter's happiness by mentioning this bug's name, so she didn't mention it.

Mrs. Yan walked to the dressing table and opened the brocade box in her arms. There was a dowry album inside.

She gently picked it up and handed it to Yan Yingzhu, "Yingzhu, this is the dowry that mother prepared for you. Ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry, five boxes of precious medicinal materials, 26 farms on the outskirts of Kyoto, 30 maids and servants, There are also 30 taels of silver. The dowry list, house title deed, and servant's deed of sale are all in there, please keep them safe."

"Mother...thank you, mother."

Yan Yingzhu's eyes were sparkling, and he couldn't close his mouth with excitement.

She knew that the house was rich, and she also knew that her parents would prepare a generous dowry for her, but she never expected that it would be so rich, which was almost the entire Yan family's wealth.Especially the 30 taels of silver, which filled a hundred large boxes.

For this dowry worth nearly 50 taels, the Yan family formed a guard team, with Guard Lin as the guard captain, mainly young and strong men, and all the elderly people in the banquet house were abandoned.

In addition, Prime Minister Su also sent a wedding team of [-] people to welcome Yan Yingzhu to Kyoto to get married.These hundred people are all guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are all masters.

However, Su Pan did not come to get married. He would greet Yan Yingzhu at the entrance of the capital.

After handing over the wedding ceremony, the next step is to carry the dowry.Because the Yan family had too many dowries, the carriage carrying the dowries occupied an entire street and was tightly blocked.

When Sun Xiumin's carriage reached the street corner, he could no longer enter, so he could only walk to Yan's house. As he walked, he looked at the dowries all over the street, and his heart beat with surprise.

Thinking back then, when she married Gao Jinying, the Gao family had not yet declined, and it was still a high-ranking government with military power, and it had never been extravagant to such an extent.

How much wealth does the Yan family hide?
She looked at the gift list in her hand and was silent for a moment, sighed, and stepped closer.

When he arrived at the Yan Mansion, he saw Madam Yan, smiled hurriedly, said congratulations, and then presented the congratulatory gift, a green wooden box, with a pair of red gold silk bracelets, a pair of fists and a large translucent jade Buddha, and a There is a gift of 1000 taels.

A full 1000 taels, which was Gaofu's livelihood for five years.

There was a gift list lying on top of the gift money. It contained only three lines of characters and looked really shabby.

Mrs. Banquet picked up the gift list, glanced at it casually, and put it back in the box.

Her sister and brother-in-law have always been honest. They are called incorruptible at best, but shabby at worst. They are dignified magistrates of a state, and as long as they turn a blind eye casually, they will make a lot of money.

But they lived an extremely shabby life, and their two daughters suffered along with them. They had been stubborn for many years. Fortunately, they finally came to their senses.

"Thank you, sister, for saving me money. Even if I come here empty-handed today, I will thank you. If Yingzhu marries Kyoto, I will inevitably have to trouble you, my aunt, to take care of her. From now on, when Yingzhu is in Kyoto, he will always point at his sister. That’s very helpful.”

The Yan family's procession to see off their relatives was huge and spectacular in small Puzhou, attracting half the city to watch.

In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant along the street, a window was quietly pushed open, and a person stood by the window, silently watching the noisy scene downstairs.

On the tea table behind him, Chai Pei was drinking tea leisurely, as if the bustling scene outside the window didn't exist at all.

Pei Xingheng shook his head, smacked his lips and said: "For such a large dowry, the etiquette of the banquet is to take out all the embezzled relief funds for the flood in Sizhou and give them all to Prime Minister Su, right? This dowry box full of a long street is too much to say. A few hundred thousand taels."

In comparison, the mere 1 taels of silver that the Pei family lent... no, it should be contributed to the Su family was really not enough. It is no wonder that his father's preparation for the establishment of Guanglitong Company in Kyoto did not go smoothly, and he suffered everywhere. Constraints.

Pei Chengyu went to Kyoto with Mr. Su's recommendation letter, and after a month of troubles, he finally got the approval from the Ministry of Household Affairs.Then he bought a house in Mingyefang. As soon as he got the deed and started to decorate it, a dead man was found in the house, and then he went to the capital county captain.
