Chapter 443: Counting the message, referring to the marriage
Chapter 443: The prime minister’s message, referring to the marriage
Shao Xun didn't say anything, but started to greet the people in the courtyard.
However, seeing Shao Xun at this moment, Murong Hui was even more worried.
Who doesn't know that his master is angry with his son-in-law?
He suddenly changed his mind. He couldn't be really crazy.
"Master, do we really want to go to Lianli City to celebrate the New Year?"
Murong Hui said.
"Is it still false?"
Shao Xun rolled his eyes.
"But……"
Shao Xun directly interrupted Murong Hui, "By the way, ladies, come here and I'll show you something.
Old shopkeeper, go get ready quickly, we will set off early tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be bad if we miss the time."
Let's talk. He directly picked up Murong Hui and walked towards the house.
The two concubines, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li, looked at each other, and then followed them curiously.
Entering the room, Shao Xun mysteriously closed the door tightly, and then, under the strange gazes of Murong Hui and the others, he took out the letter.
"You don't think I'm crazy, sir!"
Seeing the strange expressions on several people's faces, Shao Xun's mouth twitched, "Sir, I am indeed happy..."
"Is there any happy event?"
Murong Hui said in confusion, "Besides, is our family really going to that northern land?
According to the master's wishes, even the family envoy must be brought along, and going back and forth, isn't it troublesome?"
"No trouble, we went this time, I don't know when we can come back next year.
Moreover, this new city of Lienli has many opportunities, and it will also be our foundation in the future.
Therefore, it is possible even if you cannot come back within a short period of time.
Even if you really come back, you’ll just bring a few more carriages and horses, what’s the point?”
Just when Murong Hui wanted to ask again, Shao Xun said, "I know you are confused, but you will understand after reading this."
With that said, he dragged the precious letter and handed it to Murong Hui and others as if it were a treasure.
Murong Hui picked it up curiously, and the other two people also came forward and looked at the letter.
However, I saw that the ink on it was not dry, and there was only one sentence, "Shen Zhuangyuan has made a great contribution to the sky, and the day of the reward will not be until next spring when the flowers bloom.
In addition, His Majesty learned that Shen Zhuangyuan was in love with the daughter of the Shao family, so he prepared to arrange a marriage for the two..."
Murong Hui and the other three, just like Shao Xun just now, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Your Majesty proposes marriage?
This is not a fabrication! His Majesty said that marriage is not only an honor for both parties, but also a great joy. So it turns out that it is like this, no wonder my master is so happy.
Yes, Shao Xun was excited because of this! You know, it is not uncommon for His Majesty to propose marriage.
But, it's definitely not much.
Even if it is a wedding, both parties must be from a wealthy family.
Although the Shao family is the richest in the world, it is still a family of merchants. How can it win the eyes of the Holy Emperor?
For a wealthy family, His Majesty's marriage is a favor.
For the Shao family, this is definitely a supreme honor! From now on, even though the Shao family is still a family of merchants, Mr. Shao definitely has some confidence when facing minister-level bosses.
He was able to straighten his waist even more! From now on, the Shao family’s foundation has been further improved, and their children and grandchildren will have no worries!
This is more than just talk...
"Master, is this true?"
Murong Hui asked in shock.
Shao Xun smiled proudly, "You see clearly, this is written by Lord Ma Shao himself.
With Master Ma Shao's status, would he talk nonsense about this kind of thing?
It seems that we have underestimated the great achievements of our son-in-law.
However, I have also heard that His Majesty was not only extremely happy, but also personally drove to Sizhou to welcome him.
This shows that our son-in-law has a deep affection for His Majesty, so this proposed marriage is definitely not a fiction."
"However, after all, the emperor has not yet issued an edict on this matter.
So, there will always be changes.
And this time, we went to Lianli City for this reason."
"The land of Sizhou has been initially decided, and four cities are under construction. Lianli City has been designated by His Majesty as a place for trade between the two countries. If I, the Shao family, go there at this time, we can invest a lot of money and manpower to help our son-in-law handle these matters.
Get it done.
By then, the marriage matter will not be easy to grasp."
Shao Xun narrowed his eyes and said.
As long as this kind of thing is not settled, it will change.
At this time, the Shao family's contribution to the Song Dynasty will naturally make His Majesty happy.
As for some money...I'm sorry, the Shao family is so poor that they only have money.
Even if all the money is really lost, it won't be long before countless amounts of money will be gathered again.
In addition, now that the second child has made a career, what should I do with the money?
Might as well give it a try.
In the future, my daughter will be the one chosen by the emperor to marry! Which old enemy dares to act wild in front of me?
Jiangnan Shengjia?
Sorry, I’m going to beat you all this time! It depends on whether you are convinced or not...
Hearing Shao Xun's words, Murong Hui exclaimed again, her face full of joy.
This is my daughter, this... is really a great joy.
Even the two concubines' faces were full of joy! Although they had nothing to do, the reason why their natal family could go smoothly was because of the Shao family, didn't they?
The stronger the Shao family is, the more powerful the natal family will be!
"Okay, you all go prepare yourself! Bring everything you need to bring! Until next year, if His Majesty really proposes the marriage, high-ranking officials and famous families will surely gather together. Moreover, since His Majesty has proposed the marriage, then our daughter
How can there be no imperial decree and reward?
Therefore, you must also explain your servants and maids, and you must not let my Shao family lose face."
Shao Xun said solemnly.
"Don't worry, sir, this is a major matter for our family, how could we not know about it?"
Murong Hui nodded hurriedly, "Two sisters, come... let's discuss what we should prepare for this matter! By the way, second sister, your handiwork is the best in our family. You want this Mu Yu's wedding dress?"
Help me."
"Don't worry, sister, there are also children's things, we'd better prepare them first.
After we get married, happiness will not be far away..."
The girls left chattering, while Shao Xun calmed down a bit and drank the herbal tea beside him in one gulp!
"Snapped!"
Shao Xun slapped his head.
"Go and call the old housekeeper over, and also ask Dewang to come over and wrap up all the Wuyi tea in my study."
Only then did Shao Xun remember that he had agreed to the tea leaves when he had just chatted with Ma Shao.
However, what happened later was a bit sudden, and I actually forgot about it.
Regardless of whether Mr. Ma Shao cares about it or not, this etiquette cannot be missing.
Furthermore, Mr. Ma Shao personally came to tell him the news about his happy event...
