With Jia Cong's timely intervention, Lin Daiyu's wedding ceremony was successfully completed.
At the same time, the upper-class circles in the capital basically knew that the Lin family's legitimate daughter could see each other, and anyone interested could start contacting her.
Obviously, Jia Cong's soothing effect is very average.
When Phoenix Egg followed the old lady back home, his face looked a little gloomy.
It is said that there was a big fuss after returning to the house, and the old lady insisted on taking Sister Lin to the house, and the words she said were very unpleasant.
But even so, the old lady was not angry, but comforted the phoenix egg, and then took Shi Xiangyun over.
Tsk tsk...
"By the way, does the second room have any plans to get married to the Shi family?"
Returning to the Preparatory and Management Office of the Provincial Courtyard, I happened to be optimistic about Shi Xiangyun's cousin Shi Ze, and asked casually: "I heard that Miss Shi and Brother Bao are very close!"
"My parents have such thoughts!"
Shi Ze said nonchalantly: "My aunt often brings girls from Xiangyun to Rong Mansion. It seems that she also has such thoughts!"
"It's better to let Shi Hou, the old lady, and the second wife ask questions in person!"
Jia Cong reminded: "I heard that the second wife attaches great importance to Brother Bao's marriage!"
"Don't worry, boss, I'll tell my mother when I get back!"
Shi Ze still didn't take it to heart and responded casually.
Jia Cong shook his head and said no more. He had already reminded everything that needed to be reminded. As for Shi Xiangyun's final result, he could not interfere too much.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Shi family, the old lady often brought Shi Xiangyun to the Rong Mansion, and the meaning of pairing up with Phoenix Egg was very obvious, and they were naturally satisfied.
But they would never have thought that neither the old lady nor the second wife had such thoughts, or that they just used Shi Xiangyun as a spare tire.
This move was indeed overdone.
Although Jia Cong is not a meddlesome person, he can still give a few reminders when encountering someone. As for the reaction of the Shi family, he cannot control it.
This year is a general examination year. There are no county examinations or prefecture examinations. The pressure on ethnic studies students is not that great. They only need to complete normal homework and have more time to participate in the construction supervision of the provincial hospital.
With the concerted efforts of Jia Cong and his subordinates, as well as the assistance of ethnic studies students, the provincial residence was renovated with the sealed Wujin House as the core. After half a year of hard work, all planned construction and renovations were finally completed.
Jia Cong handed over the list of expenses, and nearly 700,000 taels of silver were used cleanly.
Then he exited safely with his younger brothers, and nothing happened to him after that.
As expected, they are the old lady and the second lady. Their ability to burn bridges across rivers is second to none.
Jia Cong didn't care much about this. All his subordinates made a lot of money. They were satisfied and didn't care about it at all. Everyone was really happy.
Next, he will be busy with wedding arrangements for the Spring Festival.
Originally, according to the old lady's idea, she wanted Yingchun to postpone the marriage and wait until Empress Yuanchun had passed the wedding ceremony before getting married.
In this way, Yingchun is also an unmarried daughter who has paid a visit to the empress, which can improve her status and status.
Jia Cong had a different view: "Since the marriage has been decided, there is no need to change it at will!"
"After Yingchun paid homage to the mother-in-law who was visiting the bride, so what if her status has been elevated? With her temperament, can she still make flowers?"
"Although the old lady is an elder and juniors should not make random remarks, there are some things that we have to guard against!"
"That kid Liu Xianglian has performed well. Now he has become an eighth-grade military attache. Our first brother can easily suppress him. Such a son-in-law is the best!"
With these words, the eldest master and Lian Er, who were a little shaken at first, stopped thinking and nodded in support of Jia Cong's idea.
In private, when discussing Yingchun's marriage with Lian Er, he said it even more openly without outsiders: "After all, Empress Yuanchun is the legitimate daughter of the second wife. Who knows what she is thinking and whether she will use sister Yingchun's marriage to make some fuss?"
Seeing that Lian Er didn't quite understand, Jia Cong sneered and said: "For example, temporarily regretting the marriage and sending it to the palace, or as a means to win over some court ministers!"
"No way!"
Lian Er was dumbfounded and shook his head: "Yuan Chun shouldn't be like this!"
"What about the old lady, and where is the second wife?"
Jia Cong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was never afraid of guessing the thoughts of others with the worst possible outcome. He sneered: "If Mr. Zheng has the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth rank or even from the third rank official position, will Sister Yingchun be the first to succeed?"
this……
Lian Er was speechless for a moment, his face turning blue and white and looking very ugly.
"Even if there are not those bad things, the so-called time has changed. After Empress Yuan Chun's wedding, the momentum in the house will be even higher. Will the old lady have other thoughts by then? Can Brother Lian guarantee it?
"
Chain 2 was also silent, obviously unable to guarantee.
"In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it's better to stick to the time discussed with Liu Xianglian before!"
Jia Cong changed the topic and said with a smile: "This guy's performance is indeed good. As long as he has the opportunity and ability, he can easily climb up the military attaché route. He is still an official trained by us, so don't worry!"
Liu Xianglian's performance was indeed not bad. After her body and bones became sharp, she immediately joined the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and became a ninth-level small boss.
With his ability and communicative skills, he easily gained trust and gained a certain prestige, and then he gained various credits.
Here, it must be said that Liu Xianglian's rich experience in the martial arts allowed him to get along like a fish in water at the bottom of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he easily made a lot of achievements.
He didn't know everything about the situation at the bottom of the capital, but some of the methods of deception and deception were hard to escape his detection.
Coupled with the fact that Ni Er, a well-known green-skinned gangster in Ningrong Street, acted as an internal support, he was promoted to the eighth-grade military attaché in less than half a year.
With his strength and ability, as well as the secret help of Jia Cong and Lian Er, I believe it will not be a problem to become the seventh-grade deputy commander in one year.
Even now, Jia Cong can use this guy to arrange for some of his young men with martial arts talents to join his command as low-level soldiers in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. As long as they make a few achievements and gain official status, it is not difficult.
Under such circumstances, the main problem was the temperament of welcoming the spring. Jia Cong felt that there was no need to create extra complications and it was better to get married as scheduled.
So what if I have met Empress Yuanchun?
It's just a kind of bragging rights. Yuanchun is not a concubine or a queen, so the glory she can bring to her younger brothers and sisters is really limited.
It’s not like the second wife has no younger siblings, not to mention her biological brother Phoenix Dan, who just wants to promote his concubine, and doesn’t he also have a rather strong-tempered Tanchun?
After Lian Er was completely convinced, things became simple.
The matter of Yingchun's wedding was quickly taken over by Wang Xifeng. She was very happy to be so busy and be able to show her ability and ability.
On the wedding day of the Spring Festival, the Rong Mansion was not very happy. Only the General Mansion had a festive red color. The eldest master and the eldest wife did not show up. Everything was hosted by Wang Xifeng and Lian Er.
Amidst the roaring sound of firecrackers, the big red sedan slowly left the general's mansion, followed by thirty-six people carrying the dowry.
The attitude of the tribesmen on Ningrong Street was average. Only the children happily rushed into the exploding firecrackers and kept circling around the big red sedan chair. They cheered when they received a piece of candy thrown by Xi Niang.
Jia Cong and his younger brothers stood around the sedan with their chests raised and their heads held high, and they followed Liu Xianglian, who was riding in front of him with a happy face on his horse, to the Liu family's house.
"Whose family is marrying their daughter?"
When outsiders passed by, they couldn't help but stop curiously and ask the Jia clan members around them.
"The concubine of the eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion, her influence is still a bit low!"
The tribesman curled his lips, shook his head and said, "It's only thirty-six years old. It's a little short, and the big brother is stingy!"
"It's quite a lot. It's pretty good for a concubine to have so much dowry!"
Passers-by had different opinions. They just looked around and pointed at the gate of Rong Mansion not far away. They asked curiously: "Why is there no festive red at the gate?"
"Who knows, maybe it's too late to prepare!"
The tribesmen were a little impatient. Just at this time, the general's mansion set up a running water mat, and immediately abandoned the passers-by and hurried to get a seat.
"The old lady and the second lady went too far!"
While Wang Xifeng was entertaining a few female guests, she said dissatisfiedly to Lian Er who was standing next to her: "How do you say, welcome the spring..."
"Forget it, that's it!"
Lian Er waved his hand and said calmly: "With the third brother supporting Yingchun, Liu Xianglian still dares to explode and stab him, but he can't be beaten to death!"
As for the indifference in the house, it's not a big deal at all.
I just hope that when Liu Xianglian gains momentum and has a good time in the new year, she won't say weird or mean things.
Wasn't it because he didn't follow the old lady's advice and waited until Empress Yuanchun was married before marrying?
Third brother Cong can see clearly. Who knows if there will be other accidents then?
For such a small thing, Lian Er felt ashamed to give up his married granddaughter.
If it weren't for Jia Cong's strong request, he even spent a lot of money to urgently purchase a batch of silk and useful gadgets to add several tons of dowry, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
When the granddaughter of the Rong family gets married, even if she is just a concubine, the dowry of more than 20 years old is enough to be embarrassing. Fortunately, Third Brother Cong was prepared in advance, otherwise the embarrassment would be huge this time.
Of course, he was also a little dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng. Since he had left the matter of Yingchun's wedding to his pillow, Wang Xifeng had to handle it well, instead of being as formal as Yingchun's dowry. Did the public still lack the money and items?
?
Jia Cong and a group of his younger brothers followed behind the big red sedan chair laughing and joking, playing and playing all the way to Liu Xianglian's home. The third time they entered the house, it was completely new, with festive red everywhere.
The attitude of Li Guogong's Liu family was also quite cold. They actually just sent a steward over to congratulate him. This was not a wedding banquet, it was almost like enmity.
It was obvious that Liu Xianglian had been prepared, and her expression was not affected at all as usual.
Fortunately, all the distinguished noble men Liu Xianglian knew were here, and it was not too deserted. It was just that there was one less phoenix egg around them, which meant they had less fun, and of course they might also have less trouble...
