Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 173

The matter of Dingguogong's divorce of his wife has caused a lot of noise in the capital. If you want to say that this Dingguogong did really well, he not only divorced his wife who had been doing housework for him for decades, but also re-appointed a concubine in her 20s. Serving as his wife, he also replaced the eldest son Xie Yuan, and reapplied to change the new wife's five-year-old child as the eldest son, but the letter was kept on the emperor's desk and was not immediately approved. Duke Ding himself was guilty and dared not Take the initiative to ask, and things will be delayed like this.

Finally came the day when Yan Zhaoning got married. Tan Xiaozhi rode a tall horse to welcome her. Yan Xiu was not very welcome, and Tan Xiaozhi didn't mind. The son was picked up out of the mansion, the bride out of the mansion, and the dowry followed. Looking around, they were all gifts from the emperor. After the dowry came, the complexion was not quite right. First of all, Geng Shi, when Tan Xiaozhi entered the door to welcome the bride and saluted, Geng Shi took an opportunity to go to the warehouse. Ren and Yan Zhaoning's companion were checking the dowry list and things before putting them into the treasury.

Seeing Geng's arrival, Zhang Quan, the steward of the mighty Marquis Mansion, ran over to salute. Geng looked at the few dowries outside the warehouse. With the expectation of fewer but better things, he took the dowry catalog in Zhang Quan's hand, and read the two thin pages in one go. Although there were two valuable things on it, the specifications were too low. Geng's I remember that there was a county magistrate who was favored by the emperor back then, and his daughter gave her a lot more marriage and royal gifts than this, but although Geng was surprised in his heart, a little bit of anger was fermenting at a rapid speed, but he couldn't show too much on the surface , otherwise it will make people look ugly.

But what Geng can't deny is that the little Jiujiu he hit at the beginning was actually related to Yan Zhaoning's dowry.Although she has met all the girls in the capital, there are only a few who are really suitable. Girls with high status, rich family background, and gentle temperament look down on their family. She has tried several times but failed, and now she is married to a daughter-in-law Yan Zhaoning, Geng Shi was also dissatisfied at first, but later he thought that since she was also a daughter of the Yan family and had things left by the Xie family on her body, she couldn't be any worse than her sister Yan Zhaohua, even more so. What's more, through the matchmaking of the concubine in Dingguogong's mansion, Tan Cheng also successfully hooked up with Dingguogong, so even though Yan Zhaoning's child has bad morals, Gengshi thought of the benefits that marrying her would bring, and Gengshi also agreed. He reluctantly agreed, but now looking at the depressed dowry, Geng felt uneasy. Now he can only hope that the Yan family will guard against them and put all the good things in Yan Zhaoning's private treasury. You still have to get someone to check it out.

After saying a few words to the Yan family's companion, Geng left calmly. After returning to the yard, he immediately recruited his confidants to give orders. He always felt that the Yan family's attitude was wrong. Zhaoning is the third lady of the Yan family, but it's fine that Yan Zhaohua, the eldest daughter of her married couple, didn't show up, and Yan Xiu didn't send anyone to help out. Girl, the two of them didn't even have any interaction with Yan Zhaoning.

Geng had no idea, and finally waited until the day's wedding banquet was over and the couple entered the bridal chamber, so she had the opportunity to talk about it with her husband in the room:

"I always feel that this marriage is a loss."

Geng said this to Mighty Marquis Tan Cheng.

Tan Cheng drank a little too much, didn't listen to his wife's words, and replied casually: "It's not a loss, don't think too much, go to sleep."

Geng couldn't calm down: "Don't sleep, I'm talking to you, I always feel that the Yan family is a shell, do you know how much Yan Zhaoning's dowry is only? I read the dowry list, I am so thin I can't believe it, they are all rewards of that kind, and I don't think the sum of the specific amount is as much as his daughter in Longzhi County."

Hearing what Geng said, Tan Cheng had no choice but to treat it a little bit more soberly. He sat up, rubbed his face, and asked confusedly, "What about the Yan family? How much did the Yan family give?"

Geng shook his head: "No, the Yan family will come out with something. At first I thought the Yan family was guarding against us and put all the things in Yan Zhaoning's place, but who knew that I asked my mother-in-law to look through it secretly. What is there, only a small box is locked, and it is estimated that her mother left the dowry, but how much can that small box hold? So I suspect that we were simply deceived by that Gong family. Zhaoning has no dowry at all."

Geng will never forget how Gong fooled her back then, saying that Yan Zhaoning had a dowry left by Mrs. Xie, and that she was the third lady of the Marquis of Changning. Yan Xiu had always favored the third lady. , it must be ten miles of red makeup, and the scenery is infinite. At that time, Geng sent someone to inquire about it. It is true that Yan Xiu is good to Yan Zhaoning. If there is any good thing, he will stick to her first, and Yan Zhaohua seems to be falling. behind her.That's why Geng believed Gong's words. Even if he knew that Yan Zhaoning had done such absurd things, but because she was not with others, he just turned a blind eye and didn't care. The Yan family received a large dowry to subsidize the Tan family's expenses.

These years, the Mighty Marquis Mansion has already been unable to make ends meet, if they don't think about how to earn money, maybe the livelihood of the whole Marquis Mansion will be unsustainable, so at this moment, Geng is still very concerned about the amount of his daughter-in-law's dowry.

Tan Cheng sniffed and exhaled, then said:

"Although you can't believe everything that Mrs. Gong said, you can't believe it all. Didn't she go back to her hometown? When she comes back from the country, you can ask her again. I think Duke Ding is still very good to her. She said Duke Ding can still listen to anything. Didn't we use her relationship to let Duke Ding cooperate with us to do a few big deals? As for the Yan family, Yan Xiu is a stubborn old man, and he is angry with our son and him. There are some ugly things that my daughter did that I can't think about for a while, but after all, it breaks the bones and connects the tendons, and I won't really treat my child badly. You can relax for a while, and you can look at it again, but there is one thing, Yan Zhao You have to take care of all the money in Ning's hand, I don't think that child is a fuel-efficient lamp, you have to let your son keep an eye on it."

Tan Cheng told Geng Shi like this, and Geng Shi nodded in agreement: "I don't need you to tell me about this, but that girl is really not simple. If it weren't for the fact that she has a good status and can help her son, I would I won't agree."

Even though he had an affair with his son, Geng felt that Yan Zhaoning was unfeminine, so easy to have an affair with a man, which shows that his own character is not good.In such a situation, if it is not supervised, it is unknown what extraordinary things she will do in the future.Geng decided to give Yan Zhaoning a blow tomorrow morning, and let her know how to be a daughter-in-law in the Tan family.

After Yan Zhaoning entered the bridal chamber, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Tan Xiaozhi to come to lift his hijab, but because Tan Xiaozhi drank alcohol, he felt hot and uncomfortable, so he went to take a bath and change clothes by himself, and came only after he was done with work. He took off the hijab for Yan Zhaoning. Yan Zhaoning originally thought that he would have a smiling face, but he didn't expect Tan Xiaozhi to crawl into the inner bed, throw off the quilt and fall asleep after the hijab was lifted.

Seeing him like this, Yan Zhaoning was also angry, but thinking that today was the first day of marriage, he didn't bother with him, let the servant girl take care of the grooming, and then returned to the wedding bed, Yan Zhaoning lay down for a long time Afterwards, Tan Xiaozhi reluctantly reached out to untie her clothes...

Early the next morning, Yan Zhaoning woke up from his sleep with a backache and a sore back, feeling that he hadn't slept for a long time. Last night Tan Xiaozhi was so enthusiastic that he kept pestering her. Thinking of the fiery heat last night, Yan Zhaoning Ning lowered her head in embarrassment, the maids had been called in by Tan Xiaozhi to serve and change clothes, only then did Yan Zhaoning discover that the maids who changed Tan Xiaozhi's clothes were all beautiful maidservants in their [-]s and [-]s, all of them looked affectionate, Yan Zhaoning Ning's heart was poured with cold water. How could a newly married woman bear so many Yingying and Yanyan around her husband, and she called out from the tent:
"You all go out, I will dress the young master myself."

The leading servant girl glanced at Tan Xiaozhi, and saw that Tan Xiaozhi reached out and pinched her face to comfort her, and then compared to the gate, the servant girl led everyone out, only the husband and wife were left in the room Tan Xiaozhi turned around and said to Yan Zhaoning who was still in the tent:

"Since you want to dress me, why don't you get up? What time is it, and your parents are still waiting for you to serve them tea."

After hearing this, Yan Zhaoning quickened her hands and feet, and stood up from the bed, but she had to rely on others to take care of her clothes every day, and now she was alone, flustered, and she finally got dressed, while Tan Xiaozhi was already waiting Yan Zhaoning became impatient, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at her with a gloomy expression. Yan Zhaoning held back his temper, not wanting to argue with him when he was about to serve tea, and panicked again, and put on the clothes for Tan Xiaozhi Neatly, then the couple walked out of the room.

Tan Xiaozhi walked in front, Yan Zhaoning followed behind, Tan Xiaozhi's steps were a bit big, Yan Zhaoning seemed to be injured a little last night, he couldn't walk fast, almost forced himself to trot all the way and followed Tan Xiaozhi into the flower hall, inside the hall The seats were full of uncles, aunts and relatives. Yan Zhaoning was a little nervous. Under the leadership of the maid, Yan Zhaoning entered the inner room and served tea to Geng and Tan Cheng. There were five or six other middle-aged women in the inner room. They are the aunt and sister-in-law of the other rooms of the Tan family.Yan Zhaoning breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was enough to toast a few cups of tea inside, and he didn't have to face so many people outside.It seems that the Tan family is quite considerate.A burst of satisfaction in my heart.

Yan Zhaoning respected the tea, accepted the Feng Hong from his aunt, sister-in-law and Geng, thanked them one by one, and stayed in the inner room to talk to them, while Tan Cheng and Tan Xiaozhi went outside to say hello As a guest, a woman in a gorgeous train called Yan Zhaoning to her, and said to Yan Zhaoning in a low voice that was loud enough for all the women in the room to hear:

"The daughter-in-law of filial piety is not in good shape, why is her chastity belt not red?"
