Chapter 762: Mu Yu returns south, the Shao family is busy
In Lianli City, in front of the Shen Mansion, a carriage was waiting to set off! A group of servants were moving in and out, and Shao Muyu, Liu Xiangling and others were talking at the door!
"Sister, I wish you a safe journey!"
Liu Xiangling said with a bit of reluctance.
"Sister Mu Yu, Sister Xiangling and I will also go to Lin'an in a few days. We can't miss your wedding!"
On the side, Wanyan Yue smiled.
At the urging of Mr. Shao, Fu Fu went all the way to Lin'an! After spending a lot of money, he bought a huge mansion.
As for cleaning up the house, he left it to the servant at home first, and he came all the way to Lianli City.
This time, Shao Muyu, his mother Murong Hui and others will all return, including all the slaves.
After all, this wedding is a big event, and it is a time for the family to employ people!
"Sister Xiangling, sister Yue, I'll go first.
See you in Lin'an later!"
"Okay! When we meet again, my sister will be the real Mrs. Shen.
Sister is waiting for you to serve me tea..."
"Miss, it's getting late, we have to set off."
On the side, a slave rushed over.
Everyone got on the carriage and then slowly left Lianli City and headed towards Taihu Lake.
This convoy has more than ten carriages. In addition to the servants and guards at home, there is also a thousand soldiers to escort them! This soldier was sent by Li Xianzhong of Sizhou. First of all, Li Xianzhong and Shen Tang The relationship was irreversible. Shao Muyu was Shen Tang's unmarried wife, so it was only natural for him to send troops to protect her.
Furthermore, this Shao Muyu was proposed to be married by His Majesty. If anything went wrong on the ground in Sizhou, he would not be able to bear it.
Therefore, sending a group of soldiers to escort him would not only show goodwill to Shen Tang, but also reduce some troubles.
In addition, these carriages are also equipped with many gifts of various colors!
Some of them were brought to Shao Muyu by Liu Xiangling and Wanyan Yue, but more were sent by merchants from Lianli City.
The emperor's imperial edict has long been spread throughout Lianli City. As a model of merchants, the Shao family was able to be married by the emperor, which made these merchants feel honored. Therefore, almost every merchant in Lianli City sent many gifts. Fei’s gift is a celebration.
Shao Muyu couldn't refuse, so he could only take out some money and let Sheng Yongde compensate these people...
Although Lianli City can be considered lively, it is still a small town.
Recently, the Shao Family Residence in Taihu Lake has been seeing an endless stream of guests!
Everyone knows that the Shao family has not only climbed high, but has even fallen into His Majesty's eyes.
The Shao family used to be rich, but now their status is completely different. Therefore, people who were able to establish relationships with the Shao family naturally rushed over to congratulate them.
Even those who cannot reach the relationship will never be pulled down to themselves.
After the decree was issued, officials from the Ministry of Rites dispatched by the imperial court arrived at Shao Mansion within a few days!
If it were other houses, it would be a very lucrative matter for the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
After all, although they were sent by the emperor, they were still members of the Ministry of Rites. How dare these ordinary families not respect them?
However, the Shao family now has Zhang Jun personally in charge, so they naturally don't dare to act rashly! Not only are they extremely polite to Shao Xun, they also don't dare to be too polite to the slaves and others of the Shao family.
Fortunately, Shao Xun also knew these rules. Furthermore, the Shao family did not care about spending more money, so almost every official who came received a lot of red envelopes.
The prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture would come over every now and then, and all the officials in the prefecture treated this matter as a major event.
As for the local county government, the county magistrate directly settled in the Shao family with the clerks from the ceremonial office. Shao Xun did not need to worry about it at all. All matters were connected with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and everything was done properly!
This is true for all these foreign officials, not to mention the Shao family themselves.
A group of big shopkeepers had already left Pingjiang Mansion and traveled to various places. They bought all the rare treasures that they could see, almost at any cost! How could the wedding of their own lady not be arranged beautifully?
Furthermore, what if you spend more money?
Our Shao family is most indispensable for money!
As for drinks, melons and fruits, the Shao family's servants, under the help of the old housekeeper, evacuated almost half of Pingjiang Mansion.
In fact, several well-established restaurants are still working hard to prepare drinks and other items for the Shao family!
Tea, silk brocade, ceramics, etc. needless to say.
These are the industries run by the Shao family, which directly emptied the warehouse and filled the Shao family courtyard.
Shao Youcai was originally in the Chengdu Mansion, but when Shen Tang left the Chengdu Mansion, he also left. When he learned about his sister's alleged marriage, he left the business affairs to others.
, he returned home immediately.
When he returned home, he brought back a car full of glass!
Cars and carts of colored glaze are like the cheapest clods of dirt, everything you need.
Moreover, Shao Youcai also ordered that the business of other colored glazes be temporarily suspended, and specially designed styles be made separately for this wedding! Fortunately, although the firing of colored glazes is not fast, there is still enough time before the wedding, which is not bad.
It's too late.
The huge convoy wandered on the road for more than ten days, and finally returned to Taihu Lake from Lianli City!
"Master, the young lady and madam are back!"
In the main hall, Shao Xun was playing chess with Zhang Jun! A boy rushed in and interrupted their contemplation!
"Haha..." Zhang Jun laughed loudly, "In that case, let's go and greet your family members first.
In addition, when everything is settled and your daughter comes, I want to meet her! I wonder what kind of strange woman she is to be remembered by a boy like Shen Tang!"
"Thank you, sir. Please rest for a while. I will bring my daughter to see you later!"
Shao Xun was also extremely happy when he heard that his daughter and wife had returned.
Immediately, he confessed to Zhang Jun and hurried out to greet him.
Shao Xun was not surprised to see the troops outside the door. Considering his son-in-law's status and the importance of this wedding, it was not an exaggeration to have some troops escorting him.
"Ma'am, how is your journey going?"
Shao Xun asked with a smile as he helped Murong Hui get out of the carriage.
Murong Hui nodded, "It's been a long journey, General Zeng escorted me, everything is fine!"
Shao Xun also took two steps forward again, saluted the leading escort general and said, "Thank you, general, for escorting me all the way! There are enough houses at home, the general can wait..."
The leading black-armored general waved his hand, "Thank you, Mr. Shao. However, I am waiting for the military order and dare not disturb you. I will just camp outside the house! We will stay for one night and we will return to Sizhou early tomorrow morning."
