On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a mighty team came out of the Fenyang Hou Mansion and walked down the street with great fanfare. One hundred and twenty-eight barristers were all wearing brand new clothes and carrying sixty-four big red flags.
There is a red lacquer lying box with gold edges, and red silk flowers are tied on the poles. There are hundreds of men in red and colorful colors guarding the front and back. This kind of pomp and formation is really unparalleled in Chang'an City.
This is a betrothal gift. I don’t know whose daughter is going to be unlucky. She was spotted by the Fenyang Hou family. The people followed the procession all the way and followed the procession to the gate of Yuchi Mansion. Everyone suddenly realized that the unlucky one turned out to be...
The Yuchi family is having a lot of fun this time.
The concierge of Yuchi Mansion was also dumbfounded. He was holding his arms at the door to watch the excitement, but he didn't know that the team of people who had hired him came rushing to his door, boasting all the way. They were stunned and didn't know how to deal with it. The door was not open.
No, neither did Guan. He could only stop the intruder and report to his master at the same time.
The chief steward of the Hou family in Fenyang jumped off his horse and called to his subordinates: "Carry the bride price in." Hundreds of gangsters were about to rush in, and the servants of the Yuchi family quickly formed a human wall to stop them, trying to persuade them.
: "Sir, are you mistaken?"
The chief steward said: "The Fenyang Hou Mansion has hired someone for your family, who dares to stop him? Whoever stops him will be beaten!" The thugs from the Hou Ye Mansion rushed up to push and push him. The tiger guards that Yuchi Mansion has raised for many years are not in vain.
Yes, seven or eight people stood at the door and stopped the thugs. Although the two sides clashed, they were very restrained. After all, there were so many people watching.
After Yuchi Guang got the title, he quickly came out of the inner house and saw dozens of red lacquer lying boxes placed at the door. He was stunned immediately. This was the gesture of giving a betrothal gift to a wife. Could it be... He didn't dare to think about it.
, he raised his hands to the chief steward of Fenyang Hou Mansion and said: "Chief steward, why is this?"
The chief steward said: "Our third son admires the lady of your house for her outstanding appearance, and hereby comes to give you a betrothal gift. We will meet you in three days. Boss Yuchi, from now on you and our Lord Marquis will be in-laws. I would like to congratulate you."
Yu Chiguang was very anxious now. This was a naked forced marriage. He carried the betrothal gift to the door without any notice in advance, and attracted so many people to watch. Who would dare to give a gift from the Fenyang Hou family?
If you reject him, you will delay your daughter's lifelong happiness. Yuchiguang naturally understands what kind of guy Lu Shubao is. The last time the red-sleeved move was a minor one, Zhang Tietou is still hiding.
He didn't dare to come back outside, and Yuchi's family even lost a lot of money.
When did Lu Shubao meet his daughter? Yu Chiguang didn't have time to think about this problem. The most important thing now was how to keep these betrothal gifts away and persuade the chief steward to go back. He pondered for a moment and said: "Don't bring the gifts in for now.
Chief Steward, please come with me, this matter is too abrupt, let's discuss it in detail."
Yuchi just wanted to stabilize the big manager in advance, even if he gave him several thousand taels of silver, so that he could figure out what was going on and deal with it, but this time the big manager refused to give in. He said with a straight face.
: "If you don't let me in as a betrothal gift, I won't let you in either. If you have any problem, Boss Yuchi, just tell me in person."
Yuchi Guang said: "My daughter is still young and is most unworthy of the young Marquis. Please ask the chief steward to accommodate this matter. Afterwards, Yuchi Guang will definitely not forget the kindness of the chief steward."
The chief steward said: "It seems that Boss Yuchi didn't understand that this time it was not the intention of the Third Young Master, but the intention of our Lord Marquis. My daughter-in-law married in the past and was able to live in a big house. Is it possible that our Fenyang Marquis Mansion is not worthy of it?"
Are you Yuchi's family?"
Yu Chiguang was shocked when he heard that it was not Lu Shubao who forced the marriage, but his father Lu Zhen personally came forward. It seemed that this was a big operation by Fenyang Houfu against his family. No, there must be no compromise on this matter. He stamped his feet and simply gave up.
: "The chief steward, let me tell you the truth. My daughter is already engaged, and a girl cannot marry twice. I also asked the chief steward to carry these betrothal gifts back."
The chief steward sneered: "Boss Yuchi, do you really not understand the style of our Lord Marquis? There is nothing that our Lord Marquis can't do on the ground in Shaanxi. I don't care whether you are young or engaged, just married."
You have to break off the engagement with me. Anyway, this is settled. I’ll pick you up in three days. It’s up to you.”
After that, he put a piece of marriage paper into Yuchi Guang's hand, turned around and left: "Young ladies, put down your things and leave!" No. 100 people put down their betrothal gifts, placed them in front of the door of Yuchi Mansion, and went proudly one by one.
Only the people in Yuchi Mansion were left looking at each other, and there were a huge crowd of ordinary people watching the excitement.
The betrothal gift has been left at the door for you, how can you still throw it back? It represents the face of the Fenyang Marquis Mansion. Moreover, this matter has caused such a big fuss today. Basically, half of the Chang'an Mansion knows about it. It is impossible to refuse even if you want to.
How could he just let it go if he had ruined the reputation of Marquis Fenyang? No matter how rich the Yuchi family was, they were just businessmen. Marquis Fenyang controlled the military power in Shaanxi, so squeezing you to death would not be as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
Yu Chiguang was in a dilemma, and was at a loss for a moment. Carrying the betrothal gift into the house was equivalent to accepting the fact. If he threw it outside the door, it would be like slapping Fenyang Marquis in the face. What should he do? He really couldn't make up his mind. Logically speaking, what should he do?
one
As a mature and wise leader of the family, this is actually not a bad thing. It is worthwhile to exchange a daughter for a close relationship with the Fenyang Hou Mansion. But this daughter is really Yu Chiguang's heart and soul. He exchanges his heart for the prosperity of the family.
Can't do it.
"Don't touch these boxes, just leave them where they are and send someone to guard them." Yu Chiguang told his servants and hurried into the house.
…
Deng Ziming drove a car outside the newly purchased house in Chang'an. Three people got out of the car, carrying a small box, and knocked on the courtyard door for one person. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and the man said proudly: "We are
If you are from the Fenyang Marquis Mansion, please see Deng Ziming if you have any questions."
Upon hearing the news from the Fenyang Hou Mansion, the servants' expressions immediately changed. They were not afraid, but thought that the matter had been exposed. They quickly reported to Deng Ziming. It happened that Yuan Feng and the others were all out today, and only Deng Ziming was at home. He hurriedly came to the door.
, but saw a guy who looked like a butler and said arrogantly: "Are you Deng Ziming?"
"Little man Deng Ziming, I wonder what my dear brother's orders are?" Deng Ziming said cautiously. It seems that there are only three of them, and they don't have weapons. It doesn't look like they are looking for trouble.
"That's it. I heard that there is a young lady from a Xiliang official family staying in your house. Our third young master has taken a liking to this lady and wants to take her as a side house. This is a betrothal gift. You can keep it first. We will come in three days.
If there is no one to carry someone by then, I will ask you for a question."
When did Yulia fall in love with the third young master of Lord Marquis, and actually came to propose marriage? Deng Ziming felt like crying, and he said hurriedly: "Sir, you are mistaken, there is no young lady in our house.
"
The housekeeper sneered: "Come on, we have already found out everything. This girl's name is Yulia. She has golden eyes and fair skin. She often goes to the Dunhuang Guild Hall to play the pipa. She is a good friend of the eldest lady of the Yuchi Mansion. She lives there.
In your Deng Ziming's house, if you want to be smarter and smarter, there is nothing in Chang'an city that our Fenyang Hou family can't find out. By the way, I would like to advise you, don't even think about escaping. That would be a toast but not a meal.
When the time comes, we won’t be getting married through a matchmaker, but we will be robbed of the bride!”
The butler waved his hand and brought a box over. He opened it in front of everyone. Inside were several bolts of silk and satin, several packages of snacks, and ten taels of silver. The weight was far inferior to the betrothal gift sent to Yuchi Mansion. This was because Yulia's status was low.
It's not that big of a deal. Of course, the betrothal gift wasn't that small in the first place, and it became so pitiful because the butler squandered some of it.
"This is the betrothal gift. You should keep it and remember to dress up the young lady in three days and we will pick her up." After that, the butler turned and left.
"Wait a minute." A voice came from the courtyard. When the housekeeper turned around, his eyes almost popped out. He saw a beauty from another race, with gold and green eyes, skin as smooth as gelatin, a mink hat tilted on her head, and colorful robes.
With her wild boots, flowing eyes, and all kinds of charm, could this be the Yulia that the young master is attracted to? At this moment, the housekeeper couldn't help but admire the aesthetic level of his third young master. Such a stunning beauty, not to mention marrying him back
If you become a concubine, you will be willing to die even if you can touch her.
"This is Miss Yulia, right? I'm the second housekeeper of the Fenyang Marquis Mansion. I'm here to propose marriage to you for the third son..." Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Yulia interrupted: "I know, you
Needless to say, I am unwilling and impossible to marry your young master."
"Why! Missing my dignified Fenyang Marquis Mansion..."
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, I am actually the princess of Xiliang. If you want to marry me, you can conquer Xiliang first." After Yulia finished speaking, she turned around and left. Her little head was held up proudly, and the jade pendant around her waist was waiting for her.
The ornaments jingled, and the housekeeper stared at her back with his mouth open, then looked at Deng Ziming, who nodded helplessly.
Without saying anything, the housekeeper ordered someone to lift the box, got on the carriage and left. Today it was a big embarrassment. Princess Xiliang was the one to steal the bride. The housekeeper was a careful person. Although Yulia was not well-dressed,
At first glance, they are all extremely expensive furs, and the accessories around her waist are even more valuable. These are definitely not something that ordinary officials can afford, so she may really be a princess.
