The whole family travels with me

Chapter 141 Dowry
"I didn't! You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wei was so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Marquis Xiwu tremblingly and shouted, "If you hadn't slept with Gongsun Prajna, I wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation. It's all because of you!"

Marquis Xiwu instantly darkened his face, "There is no such person as Gongsun Prajna in the world! Could it be that Madam is confused?"

"You" Mrs. Wei couldn't breathe and fainted.

Marquis Xiwu glared at Aunt Xi while holding back his anger, "Why are you still standing there? Don't you know how to call a doctor?"

After all, he strode away.

The people in Xiyuan, headed by Aunt Wen, were all silent and followed Marquis Xiwu away.

While wiping her tears, Grandma Xi asked the maid to go find a doctor, and then asked someone to find Tian Huai. Only then did she know that Tian Huai had left the house.

In Wenjin's study.

Tian Huai and Wen Jin sat speechless, both of them looking unhappy.

Tian Huai opened his mouth and said, "Why are you also in the escort team?"

Wen Jin smiled sarcastically, "Because we have made a name for ourselves in the Yan Kingdom! Your Majesty really knows how to make use of waste!"

It has been so long since they returned to the imperial court. Except for the initial reward, King Chen did not give them any real power. Everything seemed to be back to the way it was before they left Longcheng. The world gradually forgot their great achievements and only remembered that they were sons of aristocratic families. Now I thought of them again when necessary, and it was really cool.

Tian Huai looked at him strangely, "You seem a little different today. When did you become so resentful like those angry young people?"

In the past, Wenjin was much more open-minded than him.

Wen Jin remained silent and asked, "Is there any news about Huang Ye?"

If they want to go to Yan State, they must pass through Pucheng, which is Huang Ye's hometown. If possible, they can take Huang Ye back with them and pick her up when they return from Yan State.

Tian Huai shook his head, "Except for that letter, there is no news. As long as she is safe, that's fine. If she's not in Longcheng, she's not here. It's wise to stay away from right and wrong like Mr. Wang did."

Fortunately, Mr. Wang ran fast, otherwise Concubine Gongsun and Princess Yuhua would have to call Dr. Wang if they were injured this time. Concubine Gongsun's injury was okay, let alone Princess Yuhua's face.

Wenjin nodded, a little absent-mindedly.

Tian Huai asked: "Who from the Wei family is going with us this time? And the Gongsun family, why didn't they send anyone to go with them? It's not like the Gongsun family's style!"

Wen Jin sneered: "Have you forgotten where Gongsun Ming died? And Gongsun Xian took over the imperial envoy's errand and almost lost one of his hands. The Gongsun family had long regarded the border as a scourge, and now it has become a guard. Do you think they will send people to Copper’s territory if there aren’t enough attractive benefits?”

It's just to escort the princess to the Yan Kingdom. When you get to someone else's territory, you have to put your tail between your legs and behave like a human being. What's the point of going!Besides, it’s not like they don’t know how to arrange eyeliners!

Tian Huai said nothing.

Wen Jin continued, "On the contrary, the Wei family actually sent Wei Qing, the second elder of the Wei family, to go with them this time. That guy is completely different from Wei Zhuang. With him here, you will be less stressed."

Wei Qing is a rare general, cold-tempered, taciturn, calm and reliable. Due to the Wei family's great popularity among generals, King Chen has been suppressing him and only allowed him to lead a group of imperial guards. Soldiers fight.

Tian Huai touched his chin and was noncommittal. This was the most gratifying news he had received so far.The two chatted for a long time, and it was getting late. Tian Huai left. After leaving Wen's house, he remembered that he had forgotten to inquire about Wen Jin's thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

On the evening of the next day, a group of caravans from Yuncheng entered Dragon City before the city gates were locked. They marched outside Chen Palace in a high-profile manner and shouted: "The Zhou family of Yuncheng brought 6 kilograms of grain and [-] pieces of cloth. Twenty thousand sets of porcelain, six thousand kilograms of tea, two thousand sets of hair and face, and [-] taels of silver to add makeup to Princess Qingyang!"

The Imperial Guard originally wanted to stop the visitor from yelling, but his face changed after hearing these words, and he quickly went in to report.

The steward of the Zhou family continued to shout, and within these two quarters of an hour, the news spread.

King Chen's face turned dark when he saw the Zhou family's generosity. He originally just wanted to give the princess a frivolous dowry that was not useful, after all, it was a marriage!That is, Rou Baozi beats the dog and never comes back. He didn't expect that the Zhou family would come up with such a move, which messed up all his plans.

The original plan could only be shelved. What is even more annoying is that with the addition of the Zhou family as a comparison, he, the king of a country, can only come up with more generous things, otherwise it will be a slap in the face!

King Chen was furious and went to Concubine Zhou's palace for the first time.

"I am only concerned about the affairs of the court, and I have even forgotten that you are the daughter of the extremely wealthy Zhou family! The head of the Zhou family is so generous to you mother and daughter!" King Chen said with ridicule.

Concubine Zhou always had a decent smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you are so ridiculous! I have lived in a deep palace for a long time and have long lost sight of the value of firewood, rice, oil and salt. However, no matter how rich the Zhou family is, they can't compare to the king. What's more, the head of the Zhou family is only my concubine's wife." My cousin is not my brother. How can the little thing he gave me be compared to what the king gave me? The king would rather not mention it again. I am so embarrassed that I just want to dig a hole in the ground and get in."

King Chen was speechless by Concubine Zhou's words about hiding needles in her cotton wool, and was so angry that he walked away.

Princess Qingyang received the news and brought Amber over. After listening to the palace attendant's vivid description, she was stunned, as if she had met Concubine Zhou for the first time.

Concubine Zhou, however, looked calm and said, "Today, if I prevent your father from coming to power, he will definitely be annoyed with me. On the day you set off, my mother and concubine will go to petition the king. I believe he will agree without hesitation. You take these with you The things are enough to live a good life in Yan State."

Even if King Yan is stingy and doesn't give her anything, these things are enough for Princess Qingyang to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

Princess Qingyang couldn't help but her eyes turned red again.

The mother and daughter here are sad to say goodbye.

Xiyue Palace was impatient. The arrival of the Zhou family caught King Chen off guard. In order not to lose face, he had to raise enough food, cloth, porcelain, money, etc. in a short period of time.

The national treasury was almost empty, and King Chen was reluctant to take money from his private treasury, so he turned his attention to Concubine Gongsun. In his opinion, it was Concubine Gongsun who asked Princess Qingyang to marry him, so naturally he should contribute. .

What's more, there is no queen in the harem and the imperial concubine is the only one. She can't explain it without expressing her opinions.

Concubine Gongsun stared at Hongzhu with a gloomy face, "Tell me again, what does the king want from me?"

Hongzhu was about to cry, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone too far. He can't ask you for face if he wants it! Forty thousand kilograms of grain, forty thousand pieces of cloth, forty thousand sets of porcelain, ten thousand kilograms of tea, and four thousand sets of hair and noodles." , 8 taels of silver, even our noble Princess Yuhua cannot have such a large dowry when she gets married! Concubine Zhou and Princess Qingyang are really going crazy for money!"

In their opinion, the Zhou family would not give Princess Qingyang such a large dowry for no reason. It must be the intention of Concubine Zhou and Princess Qingyang. They did not expect that the mother and daughter, who were usually quiet, would actually bite them directly when they got ruthless. Next chunk of meat.

Concubine Gongsun shook the cup beside her fiercely, "I will never give them a needle or a thread!"
