Chapter 559 The Lion's Big Opening

With the consolation of his wife, Cui Pu's mood improved a little, but except for visiting his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, he occupied Mu Jiaojiao's arms at other times, even refusing to let the little lady come.

The poor little lady had no choice but to seek warmth from her brothers and sisters whom she had not seen for a long time.Fortunately, the elders in the family saw that she was beautiful and charming, and they all liked her very much. Even Mrs. Zheng and Cui Yuan hugged her and refused to let her go.

A few days passed quickly, and it was time for the eldest lady to get married.

Because of the tight schedule, the two families are making arrangements almost in full swing.Fortunately, the Cui family has a big business, and the dowry prepared by the family for the young lady has long been established.And since the eldest lady was born, Cui Pu would keep a copy of every good thing he came across, euphemistically called "making a dowry for the eldest lady in the future".It's just because they often have to be officials everywhere, it's inconvenient to carry these things all the time, and since the eldest lady is married, she must marry from the Cui family in Chang'an, so these things are sent back to Chang'an one after another.Among them, all kinds of wood sent back were brought back by Lu Jiu to find craftsmen to make all kinds of exquisite furniture, and then they were moved to the groom's house in a mighty way the day before the wedding.

As for the other things, Mu Jiaojiao took them out and sorted them out, and found that these things alone were enough to hold fifty or sixty dowries!

In addition to the private house given by Mrs. Cui, the Zheng family and other sister-in-laws raised together, and the things sent by Cheng Nineteen Niang, Wei Wang Shifei, etc., there are no less than ten sets.

Afterwards, Mu Yi, Mu Yu, Mu Yi, and Cao Shu sisters also came after hearing the news, and they added makeup to the eldest lady.

Mu Yiyi and Mu Yiyi are both officials' wives.Although Wei Zhuang's official position is not high, it is much more convenient to do business with this status, and the family is making a lot of money every day.Now to add makeup to the eldest lady, Mu Yiyi is naturally very generous. There are only two pearls the size of a thumb finger, as well as all kinds of high-quality silk and rare treasures shipped from overseas. .When it is carried in and opened for people to see, it almost blinds people's eyes.

Mu Yi is more low-key.However, because Cui Pu is still in Lingnan, and Pei Jinglue is backing Wang Shiqi, Wang Shiqi has now become the prefect of Quanzhou, and the couple can no longer give them any sympathy when they return to Chang'an Wang's family.Mu Yiyi's gifts are slightly inferior to Mu Yiyi's.But anyway, Quanzhou is also a major port for barbarian merchant ships. Although it is not as good as Guangzhou, after these years of operation, it is not good.Therefore, most of what Mu Yiyi sent was good things from Persia, Dashi and other places.

Because of Cui Pu's recommendation, Cao Shu and Qiu Shan are now in charge of the distribution of free medicinal materials in Lingnan.Although the monthly income is not too high, he is extremely respected, and he can be regarded as a prominent figure in Lingnan.Knowing that they came to attend the wedding of the eldest lady this time, the officials and squires in the Lingnan area, and the Hu merchants who have been blessed by these medicinal materials have brought out many good things for them to bring to the eldest lady to add makeup.

These things made up four or five sets of dowry.

Only the second sister, Mu Haoyu, after seeing the gift slips brought out by the two sisters, couldn't get her own gift slips out.

"Now everyone's identities are different. The sisters and sisters are all officials' wives. Although Cao's cousin is not an official wife, she deals with officials' wives every day, and her status is not ordinary. I am still lowly as the only one. If it weren’t for the fact that you and Amei are sisters, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be allowed to enter the gate of this pavilion. It’s just that the business in Chang’an City has not been good in the past two years. I can't get up all the time, and I really can't get anything out of the makeup gift for my niece, so please don't be offended, sister."

While saying these words, Mu Luan's hands were about to tear the silk handkerchief in his hand into pieces.

The people sitting in front of her were all similar to her.Cao Shu was a little better, but she was just a concubine in Chang'an Lingfu.Among her own sisters, because she is smart and can talk, she is more liked by her mother, and she enjoys more honor than other sisters.Even the sister's man, as long as she likes, she can snatch it away.

But now, things are turning.At first, I was the most beautiful in my natal family, but now I am the most downcast. Not only does my husband have no official position, but I don't even have a son by my side.And what about the others?The eldest sister, Mu Yiyi, has always been calm and dignified, but after becoming an official wife, she became even more outstanding.Now just sitting there, she is exactly the same as other officials and wives, and she can't see the explosiveness of the merchants at all.Not to mention Mu Hao, she took the initiative to join Mu Jiaojiao at the age of 15, and then followed Mu Jiaojiao all the way, learning every word and deed from Mu Jiaojiao, as if she was already another Mu Jiaojiao.There is a faint fragrance of medicine on Cao Shu's body. Their husband and wife are the medicine fairy in the mouth of Lingnan people, the representative of the god who bestows them with magic medicine and saves them from illness and suffering. So now her every move will inevitably bring a few traces of medicine. Very otherworldly fairy spirit.Even standing in the crowd makes people involuntarily take a few more glances.

Only her!
Because I quarreled with Gu Wenhua almost every day these years, and I had to prevent those concubines and concubines from dividing the family property. I worked hard every day. I was only in my early forties, and the wrinkles on my forehead and the corners of my eyes had crawled out a lot, and my skin had also changed. It is dull and not smooth.At first glance, those who don't know think she is the eldest sister among several people!

And Mu Jiaojiao... this woman doesn't know how to take care of herself, but she still looks like she's in her early thirties, graceful and charming, with a sweet smile, no matter how you look at it, she's charming.Standing with her, I feel ashamed to face people.

If at the beginning, I didn't insist on snatching away the Gu family's marriage, but she married into the Gu family as promised, would things be different?Think back then, that Mr. Cui Liulang was very interested in him when he saw him for the first time...

Thinking of the way Cui Pu looked at her when they first met, she felt even more unwilling.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't seem to see what was wrong with her, so he just smiled slightly and said, "Sister, why are you so polite? Your niece is getting married, and your presence is already the best gift. As for adding makeup or not, it's nothing. It’s good to have nature, and it’s nothing to give the big lady a little more brilliance.”

In a word, Mu Hao's sensitive nerve was poked again.

Yes, how could they lack something like themselves?The dignified Cui family is not short of money, and Mu Jiaojiao took half of the Mu family's wealth when she got married!Over the years, they have done one office, and the business has followed suit.Moreover, when Cui Pu worked in Yangzhou and Guangzhou, he did not take advantage of it.When they went to Liangzhou and fought against Tubo and Turks, they captured countless spoils.Both of them are extremely rich, so why would they care about such a trivial addition to their own makeup?
But... Thinking of Gu Wenhua's face when he was preparing the list, Mu Hao was very angry.

It's been so many years, and he still hasn't let her go!Obviously the family is not well-off now, but he still insists on moving out the best things in the warehouse and sending them over, saying something like 'we can't lose the face of our Gu family', who doesn't know that he just wants to take the opportunity to return to Mu Jiaojiao showing her face in front of her?He would be ashamed to use her daughter's things to please others!
"That's right, relying on half of the Mu family's wealth that you brought back then, you've earned a huge fortune!" Mu Luao couldn't help but said in a strange way.

As soon as these words came out, the joyful atmosphere in the hall was frozen.The eldest sister, Mu Yi, hurriedly shouted: "Second sister, what are you talking about? Sixth sister's dowry was given to her by her father, and their current family business was earned by themselves. Speaking of which, the reason why we It's all up to them to get to this point. If Dad hadn't made that decision back then, where would we be qualified to sit here now?"

"It's you, I haven't tasted any benefits from her." Mu Hao said coolly.

"Sister!" Now, Mu Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore.Seeing this, Mu Hao's wife, Yuan Shi, also stood up.

Seeing this, Mu Hao felt extremely wronged. "Do you still know who is closer to you? Sister, we were born by the same aunt! Sister, your aunt and my aunt are sisters! Now you are just because you took some money from her. The good thing is that they are all on her side? Have you ever thought about how I feel when you do this? How does my aunt who has passed away feel?"

Mu Yiyi was unable to support his forehead.

These years, she has been traveling with Wei Zhuang in other places, and has rarely returned to Chang'an.She didn't even know that Mu Haorui had become no different from a street shrew.If she had known that she was so virtuous, she should have suggested to the Gu family to let her stay at home to recuperate from illness, so she wouldn't be ashamed of coming out.

Of course, it's okay for her to lose face of herself and the Gu family, if she spoils the Cui family's good things today because of her mouse shit, then they will have no face to Mu Jiaojiao in the future!
Mu Yiyi also wanted to speak, but Mu Jiaojiao took the lead and said: "It seems, second sister, you are very resentful towards me? I'm really sorry, I really haven't paid much attention to your feelings these years. But today is my big lady's favor. Days, I don't want our sisters to be too stiff. How about this, tell me what you want me to do to make you feel better? "

Mu Ruo squinted at her. "Are you serious?"

"In front of so many people, do I dare to tell lies?" Mu Jiaojiao laughed.

"That's good. I don't want too much, you just need to hire my eldest lady to be your second daughter-in-law, and I won't blame you anymore!"

Oh my God!
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present gasped.

Letting the dignified governor of Liangzhou's second son marry a young lady from a merchant's family, she dares to say that!
