Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 105

"The soldiers who went out with Mr. Lu said that they didn't pay attention to where he went when the fight was chaotic." Mu Chaobi sent someone to question all the soldiers who returned from the battle. No one knew the identity of Lu Chongyan in the new barracks. , Who cares about going out to fight, and naturally can't ask what the result will be.

"When the Beitu army withdrew, they didn't see the person who took us away." General Lu was silent for a while and said, Su Qianmo pulled his neckline a little irritably, "Send someone to Hancheng to see, maybe I was injured, Mr. Mu, the Sixth Prince will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will leave the matter here to you, and I will set off to go back tomorrow morning."

Regardless of his status, if a soldier is missing, why should he stay here? It seems that General Lu is not a person who disregards public and private interests. Who will pretend to be a young master when he comes here? There are many people with higher status than Lu Chongyan here. .

Mu Chaobi nodded, and aside from the fact that Lu Chongyan was missing, the three of them explained clearly about today's siege, and Su Qianmo also told them about the follow-up, "Master Mu, General Lu, these books are all Put it here, I think there should be a lot of good things in it.”

"Okay, nephew and son-in-law, here we are, don't come back too early, you have wronged my niece." After talking about the business, Mu Chaobi's face became better, and he patted him on the shoulder with a smile. Su Qian nodded sincerely, " I will."

General Lu and Su Qianmo walked out of Mu Chaobu's tent together, Su Qianmo mentioned about Lu Chongyan, thought for a while and said, "Uncle Lu, don't pay too much attention to Chongyan."

"Since I brought him here, I'm ready, not to mention he's just missing now." General Lu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go, pack up, we can't even go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion Congratulations, let me congratulate you first."

Su Qian smiled reservedly, not letting go of the tiredness in General Lu's eyes, no matter how hard-hearted he is, he is still a father, Su Qianmo sighed in his heart, and took Xiaosi back to his tent.

"Su Da... Sir, we brothers have nothing valuable, this is our wish." Xiaosi said this in a lumpy manner, and took out a delicate money bag from his arms, which was heavy, Xiaosi hehe With a smile, "My lord, don't think we are tacky."

"Sure, I accept it, and I will leave it for you to marry a wife in the future!" Su Qianmo put away the money bag, "You, find some brothers, follow me back to Lin'an City, and carry the sedan chair for me, do you want to? "

Xiaosi was dumbfounded, knowing that Su Qianmo walked out of the camp, Xiaosi grinned and ran to find someone.

The next morning, Su Qianmo set off back to Lin'an with a dozen or so people. Since he left early, he didn't meet the sixth prince who arrived at noon. The sixth prince could only laugh and scold when he saw the clean tent, "This Boy, I've never seen him do something in such a hurry that he wouldn't wait for me for a long time!"...

Regardless of the atmosphere in Lin'an City, the atmosphere in the Gu Mansion is very festive anyway. The Gu Mansion has already started preparing for the wedding in May. After all, Yin Huan is marrying into the Eight Princes Mansion. She already had the position of second-rank official at a young age. After Mrs. Gu thought about it, Yin Huan's dowry could not be less than Yin Yue's. The emperor bestowed a marriage on her, and the Gu family would take her no matter what. Marry beautifully.

The dowry of the Eighth Prince’s Mansion has not yet arrived, and the people who added the dowry to Yin Huan have already come and gone many times, from the old lady Mu of the Mu family in Hui’an City, from the two uncles, and cousins, from the Gu family here, and It was sent by the concubine of the crown prince, the second young wife of the Jiang family, including the young lady of the Lu family, and the young lady who had a good relationship with Yin Huan in the past.

Su Qianmo arrived in Lin'an City at the end of March. The first thing he did was to advance to the palace and report the situation of Yangguan to the emperor. The emperor liked this nephew more and more. According to his words, now this nephew is willing to make progress. There are very few royal children, Su Qianmo just set an example for them, being born in the royal family has already given a better path than others, so they should work harder to earn their own future.

After returning home from the palace, Su Qianmo's official position has been promoted again. He is not afraid of anyone doubting him. The achievements of Yangguan are all in front of him. Those who are not convinced by the courtiers can go directly to Yangguan to lead the army to fight. try.

The eighth concubine had already prepared the betrothal gift. As soon as her son came back, she put half of the gifts from the emperor in recent years on the betrothal gift. The original 32 betrothal gifts were directly added to ten.

The second lady on the side looked a little tongue-tied, and whispered in the ear of the concubine Shizi, "Is this too much, the prince's wedding is only 64 times."

Xie Wan smiled and said nothing, the value of the additional ten units was as high as the other twenty units, and those were all rewarded by the emperor, there would be no clothes, all gold, silver and jewelry.

"Mo'er, these dowry gifts are too much." Although the eighth concubine felt that this was enough face, but when the eldest son got married, there were only 36 dowry gifts. The younger brother can't surpass the elder brother so much, it will make people say that the eighth prince's house There are enough biased minds.

"These are all added by me. If there are too many, if the concubine mother is afraid that people will gossip, then she will send them in two times, one for the Eighth Prince's Mansion and one for myself." Su Qianmo originally thought I added all of it, but it’s not good to be too eye-catching, so I decided to add half.

"Nonsense, how can there be a separate gift!" Seeing his indifference, the eighth princess began to suspect that her son just wanted to make fun, and he would only like it if he had more than others.

"Mother and concubine, why don't you take out some of these clothes and put in the clothes added by the third brother. When the left and right clothes are left in the mansion, they can also be taken to the third brother's yard, and the number of sets can be less." Xie Wan suggested from the side. Said, Shi Zifei looked at the six sets of clothes and nodded, that's all she could do.

In the end, the number of sets was the same as when Su Qianhe got married, 36 sets, and the rest of the clothes were carried to Su Qianmo's courtyard, Jin Cong Yard.

At the beginning of April, two brothers, Su Qian and Su Qianren, went to present the dowry gifts on behalf of the Six Princes' Mansion. In the early morning of the third day, a long line formed in front of the Eight Princes' Mansion. Four people each wore red brocade clothes and walked towards the Gu Mansion. The two brothers One after the other, following the recruiting team, they arrived at the Gu Mansion, and it took a long time for the 36 dowry gifts to be placed in the front yard.

When Mrs. Gu heard about the number of dowries, her first reaction was what happened to the Eight Princes' Mansion. The dowry was the same as when the eldest son got married. The next reaction was that the dowry had to be increased.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Mu got the betrothal gift list that he was really scared. Looking at all the gift lists, except for the box for the wedding dress and three clothes, none of the other 35 sets was for cloth clothes, and Su Qian and his two brothers were sent away. Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Gu opened up the rest in the front hall to have a look.

After a long time, Mrs. Gu sighed, "Wan Ting, the dowry of these seven girls will be increased by 2000 taels, of which 1000 taels will come from me."

"Mother, it's fine for me to go out, how can I let you go out again." Mrs. Mu stopped, and Mrs. Gu shook her head, "These 36 sets, when the time comes, you can choose eight sets and carry them over." During the dowry, some people directly put half of the dowry in the dowry. This is because the woman’s conditions are not good enough, and she is afraid that the dowry will be shabby and she will use the dowry to make up for it. Originally, they discussed that the dowry would be worth four, but now it seems that these are too expensive .

"Yes." After Mu's counting, they were carried to the warehouse and locked. Yin Huan heard Xi Nuan's return in the Bauhinia Court, but he was not too surprised. This seemed to be something he would do.

"Miss, it's time for you to try the dowry." The dowry was carried to the warehouse, and the box for the dowry was carried to the Bauhinia Courtyard. A clothes hanger had already been set up in the wing room behind the inner room, and several maids carefully put the clothes together. Hold them up one by one and hang them up, and put some phoenix crowns aside.

"Miss, try it." Although the size was sent at the beginning, people will grow taller in half a year. Yin Huan went in and tried it. Qing Ya didn't let her look in the mirror for herself, but her eyes were amazed , measured her back and forth, nodded, "No need to change it, it's just right."

Before Yin Huan had time to take a look, Qing Ya asked her to change it and carefully put it on the shelf. Yin Huan couldn't help laughing, "Sister Qing Ya, why do I think this dress is more expensive than mine?"

"My eldest lady, this dress is made in the palace. The Eighth Prince's Mansion was supposed to be worn by the concubine, and now you have a suit, which shows how much my uncle attaches importance to you." Yin Huan glanced at the clothes hanging quietly, He said he wanted the best for her, and he did.

On the fifth day of May, the fourth day of the lunar new year, the elder brother Gu and the second elder brother of the Gu family led a team to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to carry the dowry. The eighth concubine looked at the situation, and found that the Gu family's family was really well-off. From the list of gifts, except for the dowry gift from Batai's own family, the rest were all brought by the Gu family, including the land deed and house deed, and gifts from the Mu family. Several shops.

In order to save quantity, the Gu family adopted a method similar to that of the Eight Princes' Mansion, with a safe number of units and rich content.

In the Jin Cong courtyard, Yin Fei made the bed for her sister. The bed, table and chairs in the room have been replaced by those carried by the Gu family. The bright red tent is hung on the edge of the bed, and the whole room is filled with a festive atmosphere.

At this moment, Yin Huan is under Mu's order. These few days, she will stay with her fingers free from yangchun water. She will not touch needles, thread, soup, and account books. She will not worry about any tiring things. Don't do it, this is a moral of the woman, I hope that the married daughter can live a life of being served by others in her husband's house, without worries and worries.

Yin Huan can only play with Brother Heng, who has just learned to speak. The little guy seems to know that his aunt is leaving, and there will not be many opportunities to see him in the future. These days, he is very clingy, lying in her arms when he has nothing to do, babbling Shouting, "Porphyrin~"

"It's aunt~" Yin Huan taught him tirelessly, and Brother Heng tirelessly answered her 'porphyrin', and he had to leave a mark on Yin Huan's face after shouting.

"Our Brother Heng, why are you so cute?" Yin Huan kissed him on the cheek, Brother Heng clapped his hands happily, walked around on the steps unsteadily, and turned his head to look at Yin Huan, Yin Huan applauded immediately, and Brother Heng walked around again in satisfaction before reaching her arms, and blurted out, "Porphyrin~"...

In the evening, Yin Huan went to bed early after worshiping, Qing Ya woke up at dawn, after bathing and changing clothes, Grandma Quanfu came in to twist her face and comb her hair, Mu Shi got up early, and looked at Quanfu Grandma said auspicious words, her eyes were a little moist.

"One comb to the end, two combs until the white hair reaches the eyebrows, three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, and four combs until the four silver shoots are all neat." Grandma Quanfu's voice was soft, and Yin Huan glanced sideways. The mother on the side also had red eyes.

"Miss, don't cry." Grandma Quan Fu persuaded her while combing her hair, Yin Huan took a breath, and in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Mu had gone out.

At dawn, Yin Huan had finished her make-up and combed her hair. Qing Ya took the wedding dress and put it on one by one. Knowing that the belt around her waist was fastened, she took off the phoenix crown. Huan stared blankly at himself in the bronze mirror, wearing a bright red wedding dress, a dazzling phoenix crown, and delicate makeup.

"Miss, I'll help you to sit on the bed." After fixing Feng Guan, Er Dong and Xi Nuan helped her to the bed, Yin Fei and the others outside the room just looked at it and didn't come in, Gu Yizhe also secretly took a look at the door, seeing Seeing Yin Huan's appearance, she blushed and ran away.

Yin Huan's emotions were also dispelled by his funny look. After a while, Mrs. Mu came in, and the chess player behind him put down the plate. Mrs. Mu smiled and looked at her, "Our Yin Huan is so beautiful."

"Mother." Yin Huan choked out a sob. She had long regarded Mu family as her closest person in all these years of getting along. Without her, she would not be where she is today.

"When a daughter grows up, she should be married. Don't cry, she should be happy." Mrs. Mu fed her a bite of rice, fish, and meat. Only by working together can you live well, as long as you live well, mother will be happy."

Yin Huan just nodded, his throat was so choked up that he couldn't speak, Mu-shi smiled with tears in his eyes, "Let's not cry on the day of great joy."

Gu Yizhe's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Seventh brother-in-law is here." The firecrackers at the gate of Gu's family had already resounded throughout the sky, and the Mu family in the room smiled and took the happy handkerchief from Siqi's hand to Yin Huan Put it on and put an apple in her hand.

There was only a patch of red all around, and Yin Huan could only see the hem of her skirt.

At the gate of the Gu family, a group of brothers from the Gu family stopped them from coming in. Gu Yizhe rushed to the gate with Yin Fei and shouted, "Seventh brother-in-law, you came really early, you must have been up all night, right?" ?”

"That's for sure, how can the seventh brother-in-law still sleep?" Gu Yicheng on the side sang together with him, this is not embarrassing poetry, nor embarrassing martial arts, the two cousins ​​are just amused here, standing next to him They all laughed, the 'capable man' following Su Qianmo was useless.

"Our seventh brother-in-law protects our family and the country for us, so we can't embarrass poetry." Gu Yizhe said again, and Gu Yicheng shook his head cooperatively, "It can't."

"Then we have to think of something, let the husband-in-law of the seventh brother take away the seventh sister so easily, that's not going to work." Gu Yizhe rolled his eyes, full of ghostly ideas.

"Then what do you say?"

The two gags in front of me are my brother-in-law, so I can't offend them. Su Qian looked at them dumbfounded, took the red envelope from the second brother behind him and blocked their mouths, "Okay, okay, if you two like it, another day I will practice with you."

Gu Yizhe was satisfied, he just wanted to use knives and guns, and slipped away with a high degree of cooperation. Everyone was fooled by these two boys for so long, and half an hour passed. In order not to miss the auspicious time, the next None of the prepared moves could be used, Gu Yishou stood there and shouted that the fifth and sixth younger brothers must have been bribed long ago.

The people who stopped him distributed the red envelope without hesitation, and then Su Qianmo let it in, and everyone crowded into Gu's house.

Inside the Bauhinia Courtyard, Yin Huan listened to the noise outside, and held the apple nervously. Footsteps approached the door, and after a while, Gu Yixin's steady voice sounded, "Yin Huan, elder brother will carry you out."
