It is not a simple matter for a princess to show off her wedding dress.
It is to inform all the female relatives of the emperor and relatives to watch together, and during the viewing process, they will also add a dowry to the princess. It can be said that this is a good opportunity for the princess to blackmail the emperor's relatives and relatives openly.
Li Si felt that it was a bit shameful to use this great opportunity to blackmail those poor relatives of the emperor.
The main reason is that Aunt Naha gave her 10,000 taels of gold to pay for the bottom of the box. In addition, when she was setting up mutual aid organizations in Hedong and Hebei, she embezzled 260,000 taels of money from her mother, and she was involved in the Southwest War.
I also got a lot of gold when I was there.
Therefore, she was very impatient to collect the pitiful makeup money from the royal relatives.
She was going to Ziwei Palace to show off her wedding dress. To put it bluntly, it was for the Queen and Princess Taiping. She wanted to tell her mother that she didn't love her, but she was loved by others.
Therefore, when Yu Xiurong entered the palace to discuss Li Si's marriage with the queen, Wu Mei was very angry.
"I heard that the wedding dress you prepared for An Ding is very good?"
Yu Xiurong said: "My humble husband has not achieved much in his life. He just made little achievements in the economy and his family still has some money. When Princess An Ding marries, she will naturally use the best."
Wu Mei looked at Yu Xiurong's radiant face and said, "Now that the disaster has begun, and the marriage is so extravagant, Mrs. Yu, do you think it's appropriate?"
Yu Xiurong said proudly: "When the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, the Yun family is naturally obligated to do so. They have already prepared money, food, and medicine. As soon as His Majesty gives the order, the entire Yun family can immediately devote themselves to disaster relief."
Wu Mei said: "How much is the Yun family prepared to invest this time?"
Yu Xiurong quietly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea and said: "Spend all your family wealth for this. I'm a fool to say that money is a bastard. If I lose it, I will make more. This is rude, but the truth is clear. However, for the Yun family, spending all the family wealth will be a waste."
It's not the first time. A humble husband has the courage to come back after losing all his money. As a wife, I will naturally go all out.
The concubine and his wife have been frugal all their lives. They have no use for money except for food and drink. They only worry about not being able to let down their children.
They are lucky enough to be born into my wife and I will not let them suffer any injustice. Whatever we can give them, we will do our best.
Please allow the queen to allow me and my wife to be wild once, for the sake of their deep love for licking calves."
Wu Mei said: "A good money is a bastard. If I lose it, I will make more money. If you and your wife see it this way, do your children see it this way too?"
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "When Yun Jin, the eldest son of my concubine, was six years old, he thought that it was the stupid man who had done too many things that made him look like an idiot. He also said that if the Yun family fell into decline, it would be his blessing.
."
After hearing what Yu Xiurong said, Wu Mei sighed and said, "You have raised a good son."
Yu Xiurong smiled and said, "Two good sons and one good daughter."
Wu Mei was speechless. Looking at the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, Yu was the only one who could talk to her at eye level.
The reason why the Yu family can look at her on an equal footing is entirely because the Yun family has no desires or desires!
Without expectations, there will be no expectations, and without expectations, there will be no delusions.
Wu Mei really wanted to further improve her relationship with the Yun family through this marriage, but the Yun family obviously did not accept the move. She did not say anything about it, and the Yun family did not even use the relationship with the prince to force her.
Everything should be discussed openly and openly, and she, as a mother, would never take any detours to give Wu Mei an opportunity.
If the Yun family does things well, the queen will naturally not be able to do errands.
Therefore, Li Si got a total of 10,000 taels of gold from the Wu brothers to add to their makeup. As a result, the Wu brothers were reluctant to talk to Yun Chu every time they saw him. You know, this is enough money for both their brothers.
Three years of harvest.
After the Yun family voluntarily gave up 70% of the profits from the Liushui brand, they finally received the marriage decree from the emperor - it was finally a foregone conclusion that Princess Anding Li Si would marry Lantian Marquis Yun Jin.
The royal family received 70% of the profits from the Liushui brand, and the first thing they had to do was to cover 70% of the 2.5 million yuan in foreign debt borrowed by the Yun family two years ago, of which the Yun family was responsible for 30%.
This is a very large sum of money that even the royal family cannot afford. After discussions between the emperor and Master Guiji, the creditor, the profits generated by the Liushui brand will be used first to repay the loan.
This allowed Yunshi to be completely freed from the mountain-like heavy debt burden, and actually received 30% of the income from the Liushui brand.
Although the interests are 70/70, Yun's decision-making power on the Liushui brand is higher than that of the royal family.
The only bad thing is that the emperor's decree makes it very clear that the holders of 30% of the shares of Liushui brand can only be Yun Jin's family.
Faced with the requests made by the emperor and the empress, Yunchu and his wife chose to agree. They knew that this might be the bottom line that the royal family could accept.
At the same time, Wen Wen became the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Di Renjie became the minister of Dali Temple in Luoyang. The position of magistrate of Chang'an County was temporarily vacant, and the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an was also temporarily vacant.
Whether they are the magistrate of Chang'an County or the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an, they are all positions of real power in Chang'an. These two positions are very important to Chang'an and can have a certain impact on Chang'an's existing rules and regulations.
Yunchu suggested that Wu Chengsi should be appointed as the magistrate of Chang'an County and Wu Sansi should be appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, not only the emperor but also the queen disagreed, and even the Wu brothers refused.
Wu Sansi withdrew his hand from the maid's arms, put his fingers in front of his nose and sniffed lightly, and said to Wu Chengsi, who was also holding the maid in his arms: "God damn him to go to Chang'an to serve."
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "As long as we leave Chang'an, our brothers will be two Kunpengs of the Tang Dynasty. We have been Kunpengs for a long time, and it really doesn't feel like going to Chang'an to be two canaries raised in captivity."
Wu Sansi laughed and said: "Except for our brothers, everyone in the court wants to go to Chang'an to become an official. Brother, tell me why Yun Chu, the watchdog, allowed others to enter Chang'an this time?"
Wu Chengsi said: "The Yun family's children have grown up. Although the world is big, there is not much room for the Yun family's children. Yunchu is a fierce tiger. It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, the queen has a way of checking and balancing.
Now that Yun's tiger cubs have grown up, they also need enough territory to grow in the Xiaoao Mountain Forest.
While His Majesty is here, the Yun family can't do anything. Only after the prince ascends the throne, the Yun family's tigers may no longer be able to bite people, and it's time for the little tigers to take the stage.
After retreating and advancing, your majesty, the queen is relieved, and the prince dares to boldly use the Yun family."
Wu San thought: "Brother is very wary of Yun Jin, the son of the Yun family."
Wu Chengsi closed his eyes and said: "300,000 barbarians died in the southwest, 200,000 of them were killed by Yun Jin's men. Yun's Ruhuhu just came out of the mountain, and 200,000 lives were sacrificed for it. Think twice,
Don't mess with him.
The Yun family is a den of tigers and wolves. If you mess with one, a large group of tigers will come out and gnaw you until no hair is left."
Wu Sansi glanced at the squirrels running up and down on the pine trees outside the house to store food, nodded and said, "Stay away from the Yun family. Is there anything we brothers can't climb?"
While the two brothers were hugging the beauty Hu Tian Hu Di, the housekeeper came to report that Hou Yunchu of Lantian was visiting.
Wu Chengsi tidied up his clothes and thought to Wu San: "The last time I came here was to build the bridge and took away many of our craftsmen. The last time I came here took away our brothers' three years of savings. This time, do you think he saw it again?
What happened to our brother?"
Wu Sansi rolled his sleeves and said: "With the money gone, people will be happy. Now, only our brothers are left. There is nothing for him to worry about."
Wu Chengsi said: "I'm just afraid that he will miss our brother. I'll be smarter later. This time, no matter how eloquent he is, don't be fooled by him and go to Chang'an."
Today's Chang'an is like a big fire pit, no matter who goes in, they will come out in a different color."
"Ah, two martial brothers——" Yun Chu was dressed in a brocade robe, his white teeth shining brightly in the sun.
"Ah, Brother Yun——" Wu Chengsi twisted his fat waist, affectionately took Yun Chu's outstretched hand, and warmly invited him into the house for tea.
"I'm not talking about two people. This time, my brother Wen Geng and Di Renjie have left, leaving two good seats. Brother, I thought of you two first. I have already recommended you two talented people to His Majesty.
, how about, we are friends enough."
Wu Chengsi laughed and said: "Thanks to the Lord for thinking highly of our brothers, but when I think of the fate of the last time I temporarily issued the Ten Thousand Years Order in Chang'an, my brothers and I are so trembling that I can't sleep. As a result, now I only need to hear
The word Chang'an makes my heart beat fast, and I still dare not approach Chang'an for thirty miles."
Yun Chu held Wu Chengsi's hand and said enthusiastically: "Today is different from the past. In the past, the Liushui brand was like a thunder that didn't know when it would explode. It's different now. The property rights of the Liushui brand have been made clear.
, even if something happens again, it has nothing to do with you brothers.
Over the years, Wen Wen has managed Chang'an County as a well-known political person and has a well-stocked treasury. As long as Brother Wu takes office, it will be a good place to achieve political achievements. Although Brother Wu has become famous in recent years, he has actually accomplished several major things.
However, if you really want to be promoted to an official position, political achievements are absolutely indispensable."
Wu Sansi poured tea for Yun Chu and sighed: "The water in Chang'an is deep, and my brothers are not good at swimming. God knows when there will be a big wave, and these two bodies that have finally been fattened will just be fed to the fish."
Yun Chu looked around, and Wu Chengsi immediately waved his sleeves to repel his followers.
Yunchu took a sip of tea and said, "I know, brother, that I have clearly contributed to the pacification of the southwest. Why did a good county guild become a marquis?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the monarchs violently beat up the ministers."
Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi with a half-smile but said, "Do you believe it?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. After all, your Majesty said so, and the princes also recognized it."
Yun Chu laughed loudly, pointed at the Wu brothers and said, "Just pretend, I don't believe the Queen will tell you the reason?"
The smile on Wu Chengsi's face gradually disappeared, and he said indifferently: "The Queen told our brothers many things, but I don't know which one the Lord is talking about?"
Yun Chu said: "The highest real title is Marquis. Non-royal people with titles above the title of Marquis will not have land or households. I will give away the reward with a little money. According to the convention, I should have been granted the title of Duke. As a result, after careful calculation, I still decided
I think it might be more beneficial to be a Lantianhou.
As for the benefits for the Duke, well, maybe I can get a good seat when His Majesty holds a state banquet."
When Wu Sansi heard what Yun Chu said, she looked at Wu Chengsi and said, "I really don't know."
During the two sessions... the updates are not strong enough.
