This box of pearls and jade is worth a lot of money. Song Liyun raised his eyebrows and refused: "Ashi, these things are expensive and you have earned them through life and death. If you want to give them to me, you should give them to your wife."
As the young master of the Wuda tribe, Zhao Tingduo has the right to give away the clan's wealth privately, but he is a son, and if he wants to give it away, he should give it to his mother.
Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been an eternal problem. She and Mrs. Wu Ya are currently on good terms, but they cannot cause conflicts over these things.
Zhao Tingduo stuffed the box into her arms and said with a relaxed smile: "The Dongyue Department comes from the royal palace of Dilu and has everything. To be honest, there are large pieces of red coral and gold and silver at my mother's place.
It's just a small thing I gave you, but it doesn't mean anything."
The Dongyue Tribe was once a member of the Dilu Royal Court. Although it was pushed out to the Mida Valley due to its decline in strength, most of the wealth of the nobles in the tribe was brought out.
Now that the Uda tribe has been exterminated, the valuables will naturally fall into the hands of the victors.
Among them, the Uda tribe is the dominant force and has priority in acquiring a large population.
The remaining livestock and herdsmen were then divided among the vassal tribes who sent troops together.
Seeing that Song Liyun was still looking embarrassed, Zhao Tingduo couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her nose: "What are you thinking! Why are you so timid? Just accept it! They say that everyone's daughter-in-law loves her, so my mother-in-law naturally has my father."
Thinking about it."
Song Liyun was angry and annoyed. It was only because he acted like an idiot when he saw Zhao Tingduo wearing a military uniform yesterday that this guy became more and more aggressive now, constantly treating her as a delicate little girl.
With her temperament as a royal sister, she naturally did not admit defeat at this time. She glanced sideways at Zhao Tingduo and collected the box: "Who do you think is cowardly? But your father is not here, how can you give a gift to Madam?"
Zhao Tingduo lifted up the hem of his clothes and stood up, walked around Song Liyun who was arranging his clothes, and sighed: "Dad will ask someone to bring something over!"
Although my father went back to Kyoto of the Wu Dynasty, the garrison brother of Hecheng was prepared for every festival. It was the New Year's Day of the Wu Dynasty, and the gifts that should be given were about to arrive!
It was Mrs. Wuya's personal matter, and Zhao Tingduo didn't seem to want to say more. Song Liyun didn't talk much either, and just put the wooden box into the space.
At this moment, Abu rushed in like an iron tower, and said seriously with a tight face: "Young Master, there is news from Hecheng outside!"
Zhao Tingduo raised his eyebrows at Song Liyun, meaning look, it's here.
But what Abu said next made the two people's expressions change drastically.
"Young Master, the Wu Dynasty is in ruins!"
Mrs. Wuya came back soon after walking her horse.
From the letter sent by the Zhenbei Army, Song Liyun learned that the Emperor of Wu Dynasty had been critically ill for more than half a month and had died half a month ago.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, during the national mourning period, the whole country is prohibited from feasting and drinking for three months, and royal family members are not allowed to marry for one year.
Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with the Dilu Grassland. At most, some of the Wangting tribes with whom they had personal relationships would send some gifts as a token of condolence.
But the Uda tribe is different.
In Zhao Yanjiao's handwritten letter, he stated that the Wuda tribe should also follow the clan rules, that is, no weddings or birthday banquets are allowed for a year.
Zhao Tingduo had a dark face and was sullen, obviously very dissatisfied that he could not get married.
Mrs. Wu Ya was silent for a moment and apologized to Song Liyun: "Ah Li, Ah Shi's father... is Duke An of the Wu Dynasty, and the Queen Mother is her aunt. According to the rules of the Wu Dynasty, you should observe filial piety for your uncle. Your marriage can only be postponed for one year."
Beginning in July, the old emperor suffered a stroke when he was in the Dilu territory. Although the imperial doctors carefully treated him, he died at the end of winter.
In the past few months, the prince has been supervising the country, and several princes are also ready to take action.
But the Marquis of Zhenbei returned to Beijing and resumed the tough tactics he used to force the Holy Emperor to appoint his sister as queen.
The emperor who could compete with him could not manage the affairs of state. The Ministry of War and several old ministers defected to the throne. The situation was one-sided in favor of the prince, and the princes failed to stir up trouble.
When the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, it was customary for the emperor's relatives to observe filial piety.
Although Zhao Yanjiao returned to Wu Dynasty Kyoto, he still did not let go of Dilu Grassland.
Although San'er is the leader of the Di tribe and the new emperor's cousin, he may have to deal with him as a courtier in the future.
The etiquette that should be observed must be done now, and no one can talk about it.
Worried that the Wuda tribe was being disrespectful, Zhao Yanjiao wrote a special letter to remind them through the messenger who sent the festival gifts.
Naturally, Song Liyun had nothing to say about such an arrangement. Their wedding was originally scheduled for June next year, but it was just postponed for another four or five months.
Mrs. Wu Ya took off her red shirt and put on a light blue plain dress.
The new emperor's accession to the throne is not all bad news for the Uda tribe.
The Ministry of War of the Wu Dynasty already knew about Zhao Tingduo's secret borrowing of troops. Since neither the emperor nor An Guogong mentioned it, they turned a blind eye and acquiesced that the 400 Leizi camp would be returned to the Wuda tribe and would not need to be returned.
These four hundred Leizi camps were originally lent privately by Zhao Tinglei, the garrison of Hecheng, and they must be returned as soon as the Dongyue Department is destroyed.
Now with An Guogong's permission, the Wuda tribe can keep these people.
Zhao Tingduo's face brightened slightly, and the depression of being unable to get married for a year was finally relieved.
Although the Uda tribe now has more than a dozen vassal tribes following it, the core strength still has to rely on its own people.
The gift box sent by Anguo Gong Zhao Yanjiao contained not only the gifts he prepared, but also the royal gift from the new emperor.
Brocade palace flowers, tribute tea and silver trees, mutton-fat white jade jade cups, jade rings and jade Ruyi were all packaged in brocade boxes. Song Liyun licked his tongue when he saw them.
These things are valuable, and transporting them thousands of miles away is even more difficult. It seems that Duke An Guo really has a lingering affection for Mrs. Wu Ya, and the new emperor is also trying to win over her.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Wuda tribe returned to peace. Lin Qingyuan also discussed business matters these days.
With this news from thousands of miles away, and her kindness to help each other from the Wuda tribe, Mrs. Wuya promised that the tribe would give priority to Lin Qingyuan's caravan for future food and cloth supplies.
As for the acquisition and processing of agate stones, Lin Qingyuan naturally has the exclusive monopoly.
Lin Qingyuan was so happy that he could get such a big deal.
He could make enough money just by eating food, not to mention the hugely profitable jewelry. He seemed to have seen gold leaves flying all over the sky.
The Uda tribe occupies the entire Mida Valley, and they only need to drive and set their own price.
Walking around the Mida Valley from south to north, you can make money by reselling.
It was Song Liyun who saw through his intentions and woke up his sweet dream with one sentence: "I want to be a caravan too!"
Lin Qingyuan suddenly withered. Song Liyun was a young lady and it was impossible for her to monopolize the market.
As soon as the matter with the Wuda tribe came to an end, Song Liyun and Song Zhenping proposed to return.
Song Zhenping's wedding is in four days.
Although the imperial court stipulates that the public must ban weddings and weddings in March, the people have their own ways to deal with it.
During the national mourning period, a girl getting married is called a "clandestine marriage", which means she needs to get married secretly.
The red sedan chair must be replaced by a blue cloth sedan, the noisy gongs and drums must be replaced by quiet steps, the joy and bustle must be replaced by caution, guests and friends from all over the world must be replaced by scattered relatives and friends, and sumptuous wedding banquets can become commonplace.
Song Dekui said that the broken gold holds the sky high and the emperor is far away. I am afraid that even the secret marriage does not need to be so meticulous. It only needs to change the sedan roof.
The only brother got married, Song Liyun was eager to return home, and the Wuda tribe did not stay much.
Mrs. Wu Ya sorted out the wedding gifts, which were naturally gold and silver jewelry, palace flowers and exquisite wool carpets.
He also gave Song Liyun some palace flowers given by the emperor, and more than a dozen pieces of tribute brocade.
The elder's gift was very generous, and Song Liyun accepted it all. Anyway, there is space to store it, so there is no need to worry about too many things being cumbersome.
But what Zhao Tingduo prepared next made her frown.
