"Xie Yan and Luo Junyao are getting married in half a month?!"
In a dark room somewhere in the imperial city, Xie Oryun smashed the rough tea cup in his hand to the ground with a powerful swing.
The sound of the tea cup falling to the ground was clear, but the man sitting next to him did not move at all, not affected by his anger at all.
The man was in his mid-twenties and had a typical foreign appearance.
It's just that his skin color is a bit darker than Xianorun's, and it's the kind of healthy wheat skin that's been exposed to the sun all year round.
His eyebrows were raised, he had a pair of sharp red eyes, thin lips, pale lips, and sinister brows.
"Musa!" Xianorun roared angrily.
The young man raised his eyebrows with a hint of disdain, "If you want to attract the Dasheng people, just scream. Anyway, I'm not the one who is cowering here like a mouse." Although he looks like a foreigner, he looks like a foreigner.
Despite his appearance, he speaks Dasheng Mandarin very fluently.
Xieyuanyun choked for a moment, and then he snorted softly after a while: "How do you think you are any better than me? Do you dare to go out and wander around now?"
The young man said: "How do you know I don't dare?"
Xie Oryun took a deep breath, persuaded herself not to be the same as him, gritted her teeth and said: "Didn't you say you could prevent the Luo family and Xie Yan from getting married? What is the situation now? Are you going to stop them or urge them?
Getting married as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, the young man named Musa also looked a little ugly. He gritted his teeth and said: "How do I know that there is something wrong with Dasheng's brain? Doesn't it mean that the younger generation cannot get married after the elder is dead? Now the old woman is hanging with only one breath. Why?
Do they still have time to prepare for the wedding?"
Xie Oryun said angrily: "She's not dead."
"..." Musa played with the scorpion-tail dart in his hand a little irritably, and said: "Do you think it is so easy to kill the empress dowager in the palace? These powerful people are very afraid of death, and there are always a group of people around them.
People were surrounding. This really poisonous thing was discovered before it was even delivered to her. If she hadn't been so sick that she was about to die, she wouldn't even have had this chance."
Xieyun Yun said unceremoniously: "It would be better not to have anything."
A cold light flashed in Musa's eyes, and he stared gloomily at Xianyun sitting opposite him.
When Xie Oryun met his eyes, his heart trembled, and then he came back to his senses and remembered that he was no match for Musa at all.
Musa was very valued by Mrs. Rong for her character and gloomy and arrogant character. If he was angered at this time, even if he killed Mrs. Rong, he might not get justice for himself.
The most important thing is that if people are dead, what's the use of justice?
Musa naturally noticed his unnatural look for a moment, and snorted disdainfully: "If you hadn't squandered all our manpower in Shangyong, there would be no need to go to such trouble."
Xianyun lowered his eyes and stared at his fist on the table without saying anything more.
As expected, as soon as the edict from the Empress Dowager arrived, the Luo Mansion immediately became crowded.
People came to recommend their own products, people came to give gifts, and people came to inquire about information to see if they could marry into the Luo family. There was almost no leisure all day long.
Luo Junyao followed the Su family, and then he realized how many things a matron had to deal with.
Although this is not the case every day, who's family doesn't have a few major events every year? These matters all need to be handled by the matron of the house.
Chun'an Bo's Mansion also knew that the young Luo family would be extremely busy right now, so Mrs. Chun'an Bo made the decision to ask Luo Mingxiang to come back to help. Anyway, the two families were not far apart, and it didn't take much time to go back and forth every day.
In Nuanxinyuan, Luo Mingxiang was pulling Luo Jun to choose fabrics.
In front of them were placed the best silk in Shangyong and various tribute fabrics from the Weaving Department. There were also a dozen embroiderers waiting outside.
They are all skilled craftsmen selected from the Qiangong Bureau and major embroidery workshops, and there are also some famous female celebrities in the capital.
If we hadn't made it in time this time, even the Luo family wouldn't have invited so many people at once.
Luo Mingxiang stroked the silk in front of him and said with a smile: "This is this year's tribute brocade sent by the Weaving Department. This is sent by the Embroidery and Jade Workshop. I think these two materials are the best for wedding dresses. Which one do you like better?"
match?"
Luo Junyao looked at the two pieces of red fabric in front of him. One was a brocade of dragons and phoenixes with auspicious makeup, and the other was a tapestry satin of phoenixes and peonies. They were both quite expensive.
"Which one do you think is better, elder sister?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "This is your wedding dress, naturally it depends on which one you like?"
Luo Jun said: "They are all quite beautiful."
Luo Mingxiang thought for a while and said: "Then use this dragon and phoenix to make a wedding dress. It has a good meaning. The other one will be cut into a formal dress. Even if you become a princess, you can wear the princess's auspicious dress in formal occasions, but you can't always wear it.
It can be worn on any occasion, and a more formal dress is still required.”
Naturally, you have to wear auspicious clothes when attending a banquet in the palace, but if you wear it for ordinary banquets, it will seem too formal. And ordinary clothes on weekdays seem a bit frivolous, so naturally you need to prepare more.
Luo Junyao felt that the elder sister knew better about this kind of thing, so he nodded and agreed.
After deciding on this matter, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the female steward of the Qiangong Bureau standing next to her quickly took notes.
After asking the future Princess Chu about her preferences, the steward waved her hand and asked the maid next to her to move away a few pieces of red silk.
Soon many other fabrics of various colors arrived.
This time, they couldn't even place it on the table, so they simply held it in their hands for the two of them to choose from.
Luo Mingxiang said: "I'm afraid we don't have enough time, so let's make six sets of autumn clothes, six sets of winter clothes, and two coats."
The female steward smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Xu. Our Qiangong Bureau has been rushing to make the princess's things these days. Although we have rushed some things, we still have time."
Luo Mingxiang raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while and said: "Then I will buy two more sets of autumn and winter uniforms. As for the styles and patterns, you can decide on your own. You are all well-known embroidery workers in the imperial city and have the most skillful hands.
It will disappoint us."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The smile on the female steward's face was a little brighter, and she kept saying "I guarantee that the princess will be satisfied."
This kind of rush to meet the deadline is the most embarrassing thing. Fortunately, the Luo family and the future Princess Chu are considerate and tolerant to them.
The female steward put away the booklet in her hand and went out with the things in her hands.
When she went out, she had to gather all the embroiderers to distribute the work. It was not easy for more than ten days.
"Sister, it's not that troublesome. It's just a look. Can't we slowly do it later?" Luo Jun said. Anyway, let's get the wedding clothes out first. As for how many clothes we usually wear.
Just put it on. Wait until after the wedding to do it slowly. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to wear it without clothes?
Luo Mingxiang said angrily: "You have to look good to show off. Do you know how many clothes I prepared when I left the cabinet?"
Luo Junyao looked at her curiously. She really didn't know. From her memory, the Luo family seemed to have started collecting various fabrics very early, and the embroiderer in the house had also been very busy for a while.
Luo Mingxiang said: "I specially prepared sixteen sets of four-season uniforms for the wedding. Your brother-in-law has not yet achieved fame, and I naturally do not have a royal title either. I have prepared six sets of four-season uniforms."
Even Luo Junyao couldn't help but be speechless. No wonder there are so many boxes and cages. Just these dozens of sets of clothes need to be packed in several large boxes.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "So, where are you now? Now that you are pressed for time, you have to make do with it."
Luo Junyao said: "Don't you think... spring and summer clothes will be old by next year?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "So, I also brought one hundred and twenty horses of various materials."
The dowry of a girl from a powerful family includes not only gold and silver, but also all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. From furniture and clothing, to ornaments, spices, and even bronze mirrors and bathtubs.
This is not only an external expression of love for your daughter, but also a way to tell your in-laws that your daughter will not need any money from her husband’s family when she gets married, so that your in-laws will not wrong their own girl.
Luo Jun shook his head and expressed his deep admiration.
"Have you chosen the style of your wedding dress?" Mrs. Su came in from the outside with someone and asked with a smile when she saw that there were only two sisters in the room.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "You've chosen. Mother, what did you get?"
Mrs. Su was holding a thick booklet in her hand, and the girl behind her was holding a brocade box.
Mrs. Su walked to the table and sat down and said, "This is your dowry booklet. I'll bring it over for you to take a look at. When I send the dowry back to Prince Chu's Mansion, I'll take it to the government office for filing."
Luo Junyao took it and flipped through it roughly, feeling dizzy from the page after page of hundreds of acres of fertile land in such-and-such a place, a villa in such-and-such a place, and several shops in such-and-such a place.
There are also various gems, jade, and pearls packed in boxes, and the silk and satin fabrics Luo Mingxiang mentioned are also among them. There are 360 pieces of fabrics of various colors, which is more than 200 pieces more than Luo Mingxiang's time.
Naturally, Mrs. Su also saw that page and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do. The clothes can't keep up, so we can only go to the palace and make them slowly by ourselves."
Luo Junyao nodded and turned to the last page, checking the silver at the bottom of the box - six hundred thousand taels.
"Mother?" Luo Junyao raised his head and looked at Su. Six hundred thousand taels was definitely an astronomical figure.
You know, one hundred thousand taels made Xie Chengyou jump up and down before.
She also remembered that when her eldest sister got married, she only had one hundred thousand taels of silver at the bottom of the box, which was already among the best among the noble ladies in the capital.
Su Shi said softly: "Just keep it well if I give it to you."
Seeing what Luo Junyao wanted to say, Su said: "You don't have to think too much, half of this is your mother's dowry back then, and the surplus from the shop under her name I have kept for you all these years. These are my sincere gifts.
I don’t have to be careful in words and deeds, so naturally I give it to you. There is also fifty thousand taels, which were left behind by your grandfather when he left Beijing. He said that he was worried that he would not be able to see you come out of the cabinet in the future, so he kept it to make a dowry for you. The rest is
It's what our family gives you. I didn't tell you these all these years because I was afraid that you would waste it. Now that you are getting married, these will naturally follow you."
"Mom, do you still have what my grandfather left for me?" Luo Junyao asked hesitantly.
Su nodded and said: "Your grandfather was my uncle, and he passed away six years ago. One of your two uncles died in the battlefield, the other died of illness early, and then the cousin also disappeared. My uncle was heartbroken and did not want to stay in Shangyong.
Feeling so sad, he resigned and took your uncle to Zhangzhou. This is the ancestral homeland of the Lin family, but it is separated from Shangyong by thousands of miles and thousands of miles away. Your father has been at the border in recent years.
, I heard that your uncle often went to sea and wandered, and gradually lost contact with our family. However, when you were born, the Lin family sent someone to send you a gift, have you forgotten? "
Luo Junyao lowered his head in shame. It was not that she had forgotten, but that the original owner had forgotten.
On his fifteenth birthday, the original owner received a necklace made of top-quality purple pearls, a pearl shirt, and a large top-quality coral tree.
At that time, Mrs. Su specifically mentioned that it was sent by her maternal ancestors from the Lin family in Zhangzhou.
The original owner was actually quite happy at the time, but Mrs. Luo was very unhappy and said a lot of bad things about her grandfather's family to the original owner. The original owner had heard a lot of such words since she was a child, so she naturally had no feelings for her grandfather's family, so she
Just put the matter aside.
The last items, the pearl necklace and the pearl shirt were given to Shen Lingxiang and her daughter respectively. The coral tree is still placed in Mrs. Luo's Rongle Hall.
Su Shi naturally knew these things, shook her head and said: "You are engaged to the regent, and your father also sent a letter to Zhangzhou. I originally thought that the wedding would be at least next year. If your uncle received the letter, he might be able to come.
But right now..."
Not to mention the Lin family in Zhangzhou, even the Luo family in their hometown could not be notified.
"Mom, what kind of person is my little uncle?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
My grandfather passed away six years ago, so naturally it was my uncle who gave me gifts when I got my hair.
Mrs. Su nodded and smiled: "He was only ten years old when he left Shangyong. I only remember that he was quite good-looking and very similar to his cousin. If you are curious, you may want to ask your elder brother. When my uncle passed away six years ago, he went there in person.
Let’s take a trip to Zhangzhou.”
Luo Jun shook his head, she was indeed quite curious about that little uncle.
Su smiled and said, "I heard your father say a few words that this brother-in-law doesn't look like anyone from the Lin family."
"What does this mean?" Luo Junyao blinked. His mother said that he looked like her, so that meant his behavior was different?
Su Shi shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. I haven't seen him in more than ten years."
Luo Junyao said: "I probably won't be able to see you this time. I hope I can have the opportunity to meet my uncle in person in the future."
My uncle was only ten years old when he left Shangyong, so he is only twenty-four or five years old now.
My mother also said that my uncle looks like my mother, so he is a handsome man.
Su Shi said: "We are all a family, there will always be opportunities to meet."
