The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 27 The Big Wedding　
Let's not mention how Situ Yin will arrange things after he goes back, but Tao Mo's side is in a hurry to make arrangements.

Since Eunuch Hai announced the decree at a time when the market was busy, the small vendors outside the Tao Mansion were lucky enough to hear the whole content of the decree. In this way, in one morning, the Seventh Prince and Miss Tao Shi got engaged, and from now on, the matter of entering the Tao Mansion became a matter of marriage. In the mouths of a few vendors, word spread all over the capital.

Originally, there were people who were skeptical, thinking that it was impossible for the emperor to let the prince marry, but after seeing the people in the Tao Mansion sweeping up the marriage supplies, although they still found it incredible, they all said that the world is so big, there are no surprises.

The reason why the word "mopping up" was used was not intentional exaggeration, but that every time the nine brothers of the Tao family entered a store, when they came out, all the things related to the wedding were swept away by a few people!
In fact, they didn't need so much, but several people said that the younger sister they held in their hands since childhood is about to get married, and of course they have to choose the best ones for the wedding arrangements!
Although several of them were married, it was the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair for arranging a wedding.When choosing items, I had no choice but to go blind and ask the shopkeepers to send a copy to Tao Mansion.

Anyway, the wedding date has not been fixed yet, and there is still plenty of time, so they have plenty of time to slowly choose the right items they like.Tao Yuanxi and the others said that they don't care about this kind of behavior that is completely extremely wasteful, okay?To be rich is to be willful!
The Tao family’s sweeping behavior has ruined the businessmen selling wedding supplies in the capital. One after another, they asked the shop assistants to move the stocks in the warehouse that ordinary people can’t afford to store in the store, waiting for the Tao brothers to fancy them. Buy it and go home!
Tao Yuanxi, Tao Yuanbin, and Tao Yuanming saw that the brothers were doing well, so they felt relieved and left to choose a house.

Eunuch Hai’s warning reminder before leaving, they will naturally not forget, thinking that it would be inconvenient for Tao Mo to live in Tao Mansion all the time after getting married, so a group of people thought about picking a good house near Tao Mansion.

It doesn't matter about the layout and decoration of the house, it mainly depends on the distance between the house and Tao Mansion.

It is easy to say, but the actual operation is still a bit troublesome.After all, it is in the center of the downtown area, and the surrounding houses are already inhabited. It is already difficult to find a house, and it is even more difficult to find a comfortable and spacious house around Taofu!
The three of Tao Yuanxi and his party looked around for a whole day, but they couldn't find a house that satisfied them. It was either too far away or too small. In short, the three of them picked and picked, but they didn't find a satisfactory house!

Tao Yuanyi, Tao Yuanshu, and Tao Yuanren usually had a lot of experience with those accessories, so they recommended themselves to choose dowry jewelry for Tao Mo.

Tao Yuanzhi, Tao Yuanhe, and Tao Yuanqing naturally went to find the best embroiderer in the capital, and brought her back to Tao Mansion to make a wedding dress for Tao Mo.

It stands to reason that this wedding dress should be the best made by Tao Mo himself, but after thinking about Tao Mo's embroidery work, they decided that it is better not to make their little sister make a fool of themselves at the wedding.

Tao Mansion, which had been quiet for a long time, became busy because of Tao Mo's marriage.

And the people in the capital are also talking about this marriage.

Punks come to the tavern.

"Hey, old man Wang, have you heard?" Butcher Li covered the corner of his mouth with his hand holding the wine glass, and lowered his voice to ask Wang Laifu, who was at the same table.

"you are right……?"

"Seven princes."

No need for more prompts, old man Wang suddenly realized, and said: "You said this! It has been spread all over the world."

"Let me tell you, my cousin's son works as a helper in the Tao Mansion, and he told me..."

A middle-aged man at the next table heard the conversation between them and couldn't help leaning forward.

Slowly, the people in the hall gathered around the middle-aged man, listening to his so-called "inside news", and there were occasional exclamations from the crowd.

No matter when, the gossip of the wealthy and noble families is the talk of people after dinner.

"I really don't understand what the man in the palace is thinking, and let His Highness enter a merchant in the old district!" In the private room on the second floor, the man sitting by the window had a panoramic view of everything downstairs, picked up his glass and took a sip, The sound of the cup colliding with the table was extremely clear in the silent box.

"Heh," Mo Fei, the man sitting across from him, chuckled, "The Tao family is no ordinary merchant."

"Hmph," the man near the window, that is, Huo Nan snorted disdainfully, and said, "Even if his Tao family is the richest man, it won't change their nature as businessmen."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the end. In this era, people despise merchants extremely. Even though the Tao family is the richest man in the southern country, it can't change people's disdain for merchants and the hidden contempt for Tao family.

"Mo Fei, why do you think His Highness suddenly agreed to this marriage? Didn't he..." Very disgusted?The words that came to his mouth were swallowed by Mo Fei's gaze.

"Huo Nan, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today." Mo Fei glanced at Huo Nan, "His Highness's mind is not for you and me to guess."

Thinking of His Highness's tricks, Huo Nan broke into a cold sweat, and smiled at Mo Fei flatteringly, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember it, and I will never forget it!"

Mo Fei didn't bother to argue with him anymore, he picked up the wine glass and shook it, watching the originally calm wine in the glass with layers of waves, lowered his head, hiding the thoughts in his heart.

"Today, it's about to change."

"Really?" Huo Nan stretched out his head suspiciously to look at the weather outside the window for a while, but found no difference, "I think the sun is quite good, and there is no sign of a change in the sky!"

Mo Fei choked for a moment, glared at Huo Nan, and sighed as if giving up, "What an elm head!"

……

In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, Zhiluo Palace where Concubine Xian lives.

As soon as the third prince came to court in the morning, he hurried to Zhiluo Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he shouted loudly, "Mother Concubine—"

Hearing the cry of her useless son, Concubine Xian frowned, and walked out of the inner hall slowly, "What are you shouting for? I'm afraid others won't know that you are with me?"

Situ Qi was taken aback by Concubine Xian's soft drink, he stood up straight in reflex, bowed politely, and saluted Concubine Xian, "I greet my concubine mother."

"Well," Concubine Xian sat at the head seat with the support of the maidservants, carelessly smoothing out the wrinkles on the corners of her clothes, "So flustered, what's the matter?"

"Could it be that the concubine has not heard of it?"

"Huh? What happened?" Concubine Xian stretched out her palm and carefully observed Kodan who was dyed on her nails, as if there was nothing in the world that could attract her attention.

"..." Situ Qi looked at the surrounding palace servants, but did not speak.

Concubine Xian frowned, and ordered: "You all go down."

"No." The well-trained palace servants all saluted and retreated.

"Can you talk now?"

"Just now in the court hall, my father ordered the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to choose a good day for Situ Yin to get married!"

"What?" The bright and delicate nails were broken with force!

"The emperor actually gave Situ Yin a marriage for that wicked person?!"

Situ Qi smiled gloatingly, "Mother and Concubine, don't be angry, the princess my father chose for that kid Situ Yin doesn't have a very good reputation."

"Oh?" Shocked by her gaffe just now, Concubine Xian calmed down and asked.

"It's that Miss Tao Shi!"

"Miss Tao Shi?"

Situ Qi patted his forehead, "In a moment of excitement, I forgot that you, concubine mother, live deep in the inner palace and don't know these common words."

"In the capital, Miss Tao Shi's name is astonishing as thunder!"

"Oh?" Concubine Xian suddenly became interested, "Is there such a person outside this palace?"

"Miss Tao Shi doesn't like anything else in her life, she just likes to gamble, and she is very good at gambling." Situ Qi paused, and continued: "She has visited all the casinos in the capital, big and small, and it has almost become a casino. Every casino refuses to enter."

"Heh~" Concubine Xian picked up her handkerchief and covered her lips with a chuckle, "He's an interesting person, but I don't know if our Seventh Prince will be blessed." The words were full of gloating.

Back then, that bitch Concubine Shu kept pushing her down everywhere, and finally pulled her down. I didn't expect that bitch who looked exactly like a bitch to be left behind!Concubine Xian couldn't swallow this breath no matter how much she thought about it, so she had played tricks on Situ Yin all these years.

The mother and son in Zhiluo Palace smiled at each other and changed the subject tacitly.

"Qi'er, did your father say where Situ Yin's palace was built after he got married?"

Situ Qi chuckled, "Speaking of which, Concubine Mother, you will never guess what Emperor Father said!"

"Tell me now."

"Father said that he thought of the Tao family's deep love, and decided to let Situ Yin enter Tao's house!"

Concubine Xian recovered from her daze, and laughed wildly regardless of her appearance, "Hahahaha!"

"I didn't expect him, Situ Yin, to have this moment!"

"Concubine Shu, concubine Shu, I have pity on you for trying all your tricks, but you didn't expect your son to be in such a mess now!"

Situ Qi looked at Concubine Xian's slightly ferocious face from the side, and was so frightened that he kept hiding in the corner.

When he was still young, he knew that his mother and concubine hated Concubine Shu very much, to the point where he wished to eat her flesh and blood!
And whenever his mother and concubine went crazy because of thinking of Concubine Shu, it was when Situ Qi suffered a crime. As time passed, he would also start to anger Concubine Shu's mother and son, and fight against him everywhere.

Seeing Situ Qi's cowardly look from the corner of her eyes, Concubine Xian hides her disdain, and unconsciously caresses her upper and lower abdomen. If it doesn't work, maybe...

Hehe, what's the use of saying this now?The people who were involved in that incident back then have long since died. Even if they wanted to investigate, they don't know where to start.

"Okay, you should be quiet these few days, and don't provoke Situ Yin, that scoundrel." Concubine Xian sat back on the stool, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and continued, "I'm tired too. Back off first."

Situ Qi walked up to Concubine Xian obediently, bowed hesitantly, lowered his head to hide all his thoughts, "No, I will leave."

Walking out of Zhiluo Palace, Situ Qi suddenly turned his head halfway, stared silently at the gate of Zhiluo Palace for a while, then turned and left.
