Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 259
Obviously, what the official said was targeted, and it was aimed at Zhou Ruoruo.

As soon as his words came out, many people present were stunned, only Li Ke and Zhou Ruoruo looked at each other and smiled, very calm.

Li Ke didn't know this official, he should be a head of the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, he was holding a book in his hand, probably a list of dowry gifts.

After listening to his words, the middle-aged man in the second room of Zhou's family was a little puzzled, obviously guessing something.

These betrothal gifts were probably not for her daughter, but for Zhou Ruoruo.

This made him look somewhat ugly.

After all, he was already ready to accept these betrothal gifts.

Now tell him that the dowry is not for his daughter.

But at this moment, he needs this money.

So he hurried forward and said to the official:

"My lord, I don't know where you are an official?"

The head of the Ministry of Rites said:

"I am the head of the court's Ministry of Rites. Excuse me, where is Zhou Ruoruo?"

The middle-aged man in the second room didn't give up, and asked the master:

"My lord, I don't know what to do with Zhou Ruoruo? Are you going to hire me? There is only one young lady in my Zhou family, and that is my daughter Zhou Xiaoyu. Your lord is going to hire my daughter Zhou Xiaoyu, right?"

Hearing his brazen words, Zhou Ruoruo and Li Ke looked at each other, both quite speechless.

Then he listened to the head of the Ministry of Rites and said:
"Is there no Zhou Ruoruo in the Zhou family? What I am looking for is not your daughter, and it is not called Zhou Xiaoyu. The one I am looking for is Zhou Ruoruo. If there is no Zhou Ruoruo here, I will leave."

The middle-aged man in the second room of the Zhou family hurriedly stopped the head of the ritual department, and immediately said:
"My lord, what are you looking for Zhou Ruoruo for?"

The head of the Ministry of Rites said:

"You see, I have brought so many dowry gifts, so I came here to make the appointment. This week, Zhou Ruoruo of the Zhou family has been favored by His Majesty and wants to be a concubine. We, the Ministry of Rites, have to bring the dowry gifts that we should have according to the regulations."

Hearing this, not only the middle-aged second householder of the Zhou family was shocked.

Everyone present, except Zhou Ruoruo and Li Ke, were all shocked.

The emperor took a fancy to Zhou Ruoruo?Is the Ministry of Rites coming to hire you?

These few short sentences made everyone feel confused.

What kind of character is the current emperor?It can be said that they are like gods.

He actually fell in love with Zhou Ruoruo of the Zhou family, how could this be possible?
But even if you don't believe it, it is impossible for the Ministry of Rites to joke about the emperor here, right?
Therefore, although everyone's first impression was unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that nothing was impossible.

Zhou Ruoruo's father looked shocked, and immediately looked at Zhou Ruoruo, as if he wanted to say something.

At the same time, he also glanced at Li Ke, probably feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, Zhou Ruoruo was favored by the emperor, but now he regards Li Ke as his son-in-law.

At the same time, the middle-aged man in the second bedroom of Zhou's family also turned to look at Zhou Ruoruo, also showing a look of shock.

Naturally, he would not have thought that his eldest brother's daughter would actually become the emperor's woman. How could this be possible?
Although everyone was shocked, no one spoke.

At this moment, I heard Li Ke say:

"This is Zhou Ruoruo."

Hearing his voice, the head of the Ministry of Rites immediately looked at Zhou Ruoruo who was beside Li Ke.

The chief officer of the Ministry of Rites was very young, only six or seven ranks, and he was not qualified to see Li Ke at all, so he didn't know Li Ke, so he didn't recognize Li Ke as the emperor.

At this moment, he put all his attention on Zhou Ruoruo, stepped forward a few steps, cupped his hands and said to Zhou Ruoruo:

"Are you Zhou Ruoruo?"

Zhou Ruoruo was so beautiful, much more beautiful than the middle-aged daughter of the Zhou family's second wife.

Therefore, the head of the Ministry of Rites naturally believed that the beautiful woman in front of him was Zhou Ruoruo.

After all, how could the emperor's eyesight be bad?
Zhou Ruoruo saluted the head of the Ministry of Rites and said:
"The little girl is really Zhou Ruoruo."

He also probably knew that Li Ke didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't mention Li Ke.

The head of the etiquette department quickly smiled.Said politely:
"The head of the Ministry of Rituals, the next official, was ordered to come here for the engagement. The betrothal gift includes a thousand taels of gold, 2000 taels of silver, and countless kinds of jewelry. Please keep it away from the girl's family. Here is the bill for the betrothal gift, please have a look."

As he spoke, he handed the notebook in his hand to Zhou Ruoruo, and Zhou Ruoruo came over and handed it to his father casually.

Immediately, the head of the Ministry of Rites said:
"Also ask the girl to put away these betrothal gifts."

Zhou Ruoruo nodded.

It was at this time that the middle-aged second bedroom of the Zhou family seemed to react.

Although it was difficult for him to accept the scene in front of him, after reacting, he immediately said to the servants of the Zhou family:

"Hurry up, move these betrothal gifts into the house. Our Zhou family has a big shot."

What he thought in his heart was to occupy these betrothal gifts, which would also solve his urgent needs.

At the same time, the reason for saying this also sent out a signal, that is to regard Zhou Ruoruo's parents and Zhou Ruoruo as Zhou's family again.

Now that Zhou Ruoruo has become the emperor's wife, he naturally dare not drive her out of the house, and will try hard to curry favor with her.

This move can be said to be very realistic!
