Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 292 Preparations ([-])
Seeing the back of her son turning around and leaving step by step, Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt extremely desolate and sad for some reason. His back was so bleak and lonely, she could feel it deeply but couldn't touch it.

When Shen Quan stepped out of the courtyard, Mrs. Xiao burst into tears and threw herself down. He didn't need her anymore. He said he asked her to rest and don't have to worry about his marriage any more!He doesn't want her anymore!She was so useless, she couldn't even do such a little thing for him!
"Mother Li, he, he—" Mrs. Xiao burst into tears, moaned in her throat, vomited out all the bird's nest porridge and medicine she had just eaten, closed her eyes, and collapsed backwards, This made Mama Li, Chunmei and the others flustered and panicked.

"Hurry up and call for a doctor!" Madam Li hurriedly wiped the filth around Madam Xiao's mouth and the sweat from her forehead, face, and neck, and hurriedly ordered loudly.

"No, don't, don't—call the doctor!" Mrs. Xiao's eyes suddenly opened slightly, and she said out of breath.

"Ma'am, your body can't take it anymore!" Seeing the master's pale face, sluggish spirit, and weak breath, Mama Li burst into tears.

"I, yes! No, call the doctor!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Mama Li with the strength she didn't know where, as if she would get up and fight with her if she didn't agree.

"Okay, okay, don't bark! Ma'am, take a good rest!" Li's mother didn't dare to provoke her, she nodded in agreement.

Why doesn't she understand what she means?Now the family is happily preparing for the wedding, and she doesn't want to add bad luck to the wedding because of her illness!

Only then did Madam Xiao feel relieved, nodded, closed her eyes weakly, and fell into a deep sleep.

The mother and son in the first room had just had a quarrel, but the master and servants of the second room walked with smiles and beamed with joy.

Mrs. Xue previously contributed to Shen Quan's marriage. Seeing the great ostentation and attention to detail, she was already extremely envious and jealous. Now she is organizing a wedding for her son, relying on the fact that she is marrying the old man. polite?Everything was prepared according to Shen Quan's, and some even pressed one head secretly.

Everything else is fine, the most important thing is naturally the dowry.

You know, the dowry is delivered to the woman's family, and when the woman marries, her natal family will accompany her with all the dowry as a dowry.It's like going out of the business, going around and finally entering a private house. This kind of aboveboard business without money, whoever is polite is a fool!

For this betrothal gift, Mrs. Xue spent a lot of time thinking about it carefully, carefully selecting everything, and then sent the list to Mrs. Shen for review.

"Look, mother, there's nothing wrong with it. It will be an auspicious day in three days, and I've already fixed that day for my appointment!" Whenever a happy event happened, Mrs. Xue stood in front of her mother-in-law with a smile all over her face, her face radiant.

Old Madam Shen glanced casually at the long list, then closed it and asked calmly, "Have you prepared all these things?"

"Yes, although I was a bit rushed, fortunately my wife has worked hard for a few days and finally got everything ready! Don't worry, mother, we will definitely not lose face of our Zhenxi Palace!"

"En!" Old Madam Shen nodded, neither saying yes nor no, she casually put the list aside, looked at Mrs. Xue and said indifferently: "Put it here first, you can come back after dinner!"

Xue's smile froze slightly, and her face froze, so she could only bend her knees to answer "Yes", and silently backed away.I couldn't help thinking that it was unnecessary, and then I thought, since the old man wants to see clearly, let her see clearly, anyway, it is the Lord Weng who is going to marry, what can the old man say?
After dinner, Mrs. Xue came to Cixinju as scheduled, but unexpectedly, she saw Shen Quan also there.Xue Shi was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, and nodded to Shen Quan with a smile.

"Second Aunt." Shen Quan raised his hand to her.

"Since the prince has something to do with his mother, it's better for the daughter-in-law to come back tomorrow!" Xue Shi said with a smile.

"Sit down, that's why you came here." Old Madam Shen pouted at her.

Xue had no choice but to agree and sit down sideways.

"Your sister-in-law is ill again. As for you, now you have Zhen'er's affairs and you have to be prepared to be busy. My former son, Quan'er, told me that he is in charge of all matters related to his marriage. Outside, let housekeeper Zhao take care of it. Ask the third daughter-in-law to help. The two marriages are going to be held together. If there is anything, you two should discuss it more! Time is tight and manpower is a little tight, so don’t make any jokes!" After Mrs. Xue sat down, Mrs. Shen Take it easy.

Mrs. Xue quickly agreed, and Shen Quan also agreed, and the aunt and nephew said a few more polite words.

"Qian'er, you have also read the dowry list drawn up by your second aunt, so please tell me about it! After all, you are the head of the house." Afterwards, Mrs. Shen said lightly.

Xue's heart tightened, she couldn't help jumping up suddenly, and glanced nervously at Shen Quan.

Shen Quan didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "Second Aunt, there seems to be something wrong with this list. I have corrected it above, please take a look at it again." Take the list to Mrs. Xue.

"Okay, let me take a look!" Xue forced a smile, pretending to be calm and calm, and took it from the maidservant's hand.

When I unfolded it, I was so angry that my eyes went dark and I almost lost my breath!
I saw that at least half of the betrothal gift list was mercilessly crossed out, and at least two-thirds of the other half were altered to make it unseemly.

"This, this, this also—" Xue's face turned pale with anger, and he couldn't say a word after a long time.

"I'm afraid that the prince's move is a little inappropriate? That's the Weng Lord!" Xue Shi was a little out of choice in her frustration, and said something that was destined to make Shen Quan even more unhappy.

Shen Quan didn't change his face, and replied unceremoniously: "This is our Shen family marrying a wife, so we have to follow the rules of the Shen family. The fourth brother has no title or job, and the ostentation is too big. Ben, I don't know if the second aunt should stand up to defend and confront her? The one who married the old man is the Lu family, and what their family wants to do is their business, and the Shen family can't mess with the rules! Or, if the queen mother has a will, then it's a different matter !"

Mrs. Xue was speechless all of a sudden, looking sullenly at the messy dowry list in her hand, trying to pick out two mistakes from it to ask Shen Quan, but unexpectedly she couldn't pick out any. .Mrs. Xue glanced at Old Madam Shen quietly again, but Old Madam Shen remained silent, apparently having no objection to Shen Quan's words.

Frustrated, Mrs. Xue paused for a moment, then smiled unwillingly and said, "But three days later will be the auspicious day for the next appointment. With such a change, many things have to be re-prepared, and I'm afraid there will be too little time!"

"The auspicious day is more than three days away, Second Aunt just picks another day! If Second Aunt is not free, I can ask someone to ask Qin Tianjian to help count a good day!"

Xue Shi had no choice but to thank Shen Quan for his kindness and said no, and went away full of frustration.

Xue was so angry that she cared deeply about her son's marriage, and in a blink of an eye she was urging the servants to prepare, but in just eight days, everything was prepared according to the rules.

However, looking at these things and comparing the betrothal gift from the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion to Yao's family, Mrs. Xue couldn't help feeling sour.

When the servants saw it, they couldn't help comparing in their hearts. A few gossips reached Xue's ears, which made her even more angry.He couldn't help calling the groom-to-be who didn't care, who didn't care about running around all day, walking horses or shooting arrows, to him and scolded him.

The dowry was sent to Lu's house. Lu Fang was familiar with everyone's rules. Seeing this, although he felt a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, King Zhenxi ate a fly and didn't have a random attack, so he should be content, and hope that others will take the initiative Ingratiate yourself?Anyway, this daughter has already lost all face, so long ago someone took over!So he happily accepted the dowry gift, and entertained the Shen family members politely.

Lu Ying was very angry when she found out, looking at those betrothal gifts, she wanted to beat them to pieces!She clearly sent someone to hand over the message to Mrs. Xue, saying that it can't be worse than what she gave to Yao Cunhui, but Mrs. Xue promised well, telling her to just rest assured, but in the end, she played such a game for her!
good very good!Lu Ying was so angry that her teeth were itchy, she said secretly in her heart, "We'll see!"

After the dowry issue was settled, the problem came again.This time it's not just the Shen family's problem.

Back then, in order to elevate the status of the Lu family, the Empress Dowager ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send help when the sons and daughters of the Lu family got married under the pretext of insufficient manpower.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always only organized royal weddings, and everyone knew why the Queen Mother did this.But the Empress Dowager is in control, even if she orders the clan mansion to co-organize it, the clan mansion can only lead the order, let alone a mere house of internal affairs?Since then, a custom has been formed. For the marriages of the Lu family's sons and daughters, many preparations for etiquette and ostentation are done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This time, Lu Ying's marriage was no exception.

But Shen Quan's identity is also special, he is the only king with a different surname.The king with a different surname is also a prince. Logically speaking, the prince's marriage should also be co-organized by the House of Internal Affairs. Besides, Yao Cunhui was also named a township monarch, and he also has a title, so the House of Internal Affairs cannot be avoided.

On one side is the Lord Lu, and on the other side is the prince and the township monarch, but the relationship between these three people is so good-it cannot be said!

However, the Weng Lord and the Xiangjun entered the same sect together, or on the same day!
In terms of rank, the title of a king with a different surname is between the prince and the county king, while the Weng Lord is slightly lower than the princess.

But here comes the problem. On the day when the bride entered the house, the Weng Lord should have been before the Xiangjun, but the title of King Zhenxi was obviously higher than that of the Weng Lord, and he even dumped his brother who had no title or job a few blocks away. It didn't make sense for him Instead, the daughter-in-law of the younger brother came in after the younger brother's daughter-in-law.

According to the principle, King Zhenxi married a concubine, and her rank was higher than that of Lord Weng. It is only natural that Yao Cunhui, who is a township lord, is ahead of Lu Ying.

But who is Lu Ying?She is the most beloved niece of the queen mother, and the daughter of the prime minister Lu Fang, and she quietly sent someone to deliver a few words to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which may be the meaning of the queen mother and the prime minister. May I ask, can the Ministry of Internal Affairs put her behind Yao Cunhui?
But if you put her in front, King Zhenxi is a lord who dares to fight in front of the Queen Mother. Don't look at how harmless he is usually, and it will definitely be fruitless to annoy him!
In a word, they are all masters, and the two internal affairs departments can't afford to provoke them!
