Chapter 279： as you wish

Chapter 279 Everyone is Happy

Specially prepared a set of diamond ornaments, horse-faced skirt, and the top double-sided embroidered palace fan as a meeting gift.

There are also some valuable gifts such as the best liquor and tea.

This time, it was no less than one hundred thousand taels, and the whole wedding could not be paid without five hundred thousand taels of silver.

Even so, Mrs. Guogong still wanted to criticize, but was suppressed by Zhen Guogong and the old Zhen Guogong, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to.

On the day of the engagement, many relatives and friends from Zhen Guogong’s family were also present. Seeing that the man is so sincere, and no one else can match the gift, what else can he say? It's just a slap in the face.

All the sarcasm that came out of my mouth turned into envy. This is the charm of money.

Besides, Feng'er's current status is also very good, not to mention the upstarts of the court, he is good-looking, Yushu is facing the wind, and he is already a fourth-rank general at a young age. of.

Besides, there is the father of Yuan Jiaqi, a first-rank official, who dares to look down on him?

The marriage proposal went smoothly, and Zhen Guogong's family is very satisfied!

Afterwards, the Yuan family invited Zhen Guogong's family to visit the new house, and said that they would discuss the dowry and the date of marriage on that day.

Zhen Guogong's family happily agreed, and on September 21st, the whole family came to visit.

Seeing this house, they were all shocked.

"Is this new for your house?"

"Yes,"

"This house is not cheap, it is one of the best in the capital."

"It's just a matter of money. After the houses of the princes and grandchildren are built, there is no one that will not come down." Qiao Mai only replied lightly.

Although Yuan Jiaqi visited his home once, but this time when he took Duke Zhen Guo to visit again, he was still a little surprised.

But when Zhen Guogong’s family saw it, they were very shocked. Many of them were people they had never even seen before.

For example, high-tech pressure wells, such as toilets, bathrooms, playgrounds, martial arts fields, and back gardens, all have various small animals.

Especially the three sheep in Jixiang Garden, uh, this is what Qiao Mai bought again from the platform, and the three sheep at home have not moved.

It simply refreshed their three views, what kind of sheep is this?

So cute, so cute, and so spiritual, floating around like three white clouds, they like it so much.

Even Mrs. Guo couldn't help but take a few more glances. Zhen Guogong's family was dumbfounded just like the old hats entering the city.

Ms. Mu is very happy. If she marries here, she will live in a comfortable place. It is better than the house in Tianshui Town.

The Duke of Zhen is in his forties, while Yuan Jiaqi is only in his early thirties. The two in-laws walk together, one majestic and the other gentle.

It looks very harmonious, and it is also very reasonable in the conversation.

Except for Mrs. Guogong and his wife, everyone in Zhen Guogong’s family is very satisfied with his son-in-law’s family.

Qiao Mai also said a word at the right time, "This is where they got married. My family doesn't have so many rules. After Miss Mu married here, she will be the sister-in-law of the younger generation. From now on, she will run the house and help me share the burden. Chores."

The ancients were like this. When they heard that their daughters could run the house as soon as they entered the house, it meant that the in-laws looked up to their daughters and were very happy.

Only Mrs. Duke rolled her eyes in disdain. She had a taboo against Qiao Mai, so naturally she didn't dare to say it too blatantly, but she was still dissatisfied with the meaning behind the words.

"Do you think it's good to be in charge of the family? If you're tired, don't talk to a cow, and you don't want to be seen by others. It's better to raise a few children for your husband's family. That's the real thing."

Qiao Mai smiled, "My family doesn't have so many rules. Miss Mu wants to have a baby, and it's best if she can have one. We won't say anything if you don't have a baby. Those who are born are not necessarily filial, but there are many people who are not filial."

"Huh, strong words are more reasonable."

"There are many examples in Beijing, why don't I point them out to Mrs. Guo?"

Duke Zhen glared at his wife, and the old Duke also coughed lightly, so Mrs. Guo stopped bickering.

At noon, everyone sat in the dining room and ate, looking at a table full of delicious food and drooling.

The food at Qiao’s house is really not a bragging rights, even the emperor’s royal chef may not be as delicious as this table.

The old man was with the old man, the old lady was with his wife, Yuan Jiaqi was with Zhen, and naturally Qiao Mai was with his wife.

She ignored Qiao Mai, and of course Qiao Mai would not have nothing to say, but at the dinner table, Qiao Mai, who was picking up vegetables and pouring wine, did not miss anything, and his courtesy was quite thoughtful.

Although Mrs. Guo is not satisfied with this marriage, she is still satisfied with the house and the food of Qiao's family from the bottom of her heart.

The two families also set a date for the engagement at the dinner table. On the eighth day of October, upon hearing that 120 sets of dowry gifts had been prepared, Duke Zhen burst out laughing immediately.

"Don't worry, as much dowry as your family gives, my family will give as much dowry. We are a girl, so naturally we can't treat you badly."

"How about setting the date of marriage on the sixth day of May next year? The children are all grown up, and we can rest assured that we will get married early."

"Then the sixth day of May, we can talk about it here."

The children were just listening, Miss Mu glanced at Feng'er, and winked boldly at him, Feng'er blushed and slightly lowered her head, not daring to look at her again.

Satisfied with wine and food, the two families were in good spirits, and they proposed to see the dowry, Feng'er immediately took them to his Tingfeng Pavilion.

After seeing the betrothal gift, the Duke of Zhenguo was shocked again. All the gifts were very exquisite, luxurious and extravagant. It seems that they also put a lot of effort into the betrothal gift.

One hundred and twenty liters, each piece of high-quality goods, including two boxes of century-old ginseng and two boxes of century-old Ganoderma lucidum, both of which are more than 500 years old. Each box contains ten pieces, and each box is worth tens of thousands of taels.

This is too much to think highly of their daughter, this in-law, did a good job, a great job.

It seems that after going back, they still have to adjust the dowry a little bit, otherwise they will lose their adults.

He is a state official, but he is not as good as a first-rank official.

This day, everyone is happy!

When the emperor heard about this, he frowned, and immediately called Jin Longwei.

"What happened to the official calligrapher?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know?"

"I have so many things every day, how can I remember them all?"

"Master Yuan stepped in the door backwards. He has no property personally. It was all earned by his wife. Because he saved the life of the Wang family's son, the Wang family will give her dividends every year. Her own shop also makes a lot of profits every year. Opened a big workshop, starting from next year, the income will increase year by year, so naturally his wife is not short of money."

"Eh, that's good, I was wondering if he accepted a gift when he took office."

"Master Yuan is a good official. When he was in Shexian County, he used his wife's money to help the people. His wife bought the unwanted wasteland and planted trees. Among them, only a few thousand dollars of manpower was used to solve a part of Shexian County. the poverty of the people."

"Well, I remember this, I hope he will always keep his original intentions, otherwise I will not be polite to him, you have to monitor the important officials of the court for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Qiao Mai made an appointment with Feng's marriage, his heart relaxed a lot. Ever since they moved to their new home, the old man and the old lady have never thought about leaving.

In the courtyard of the three Fengyunchuan brothers, she assigned two servants, five rough envoys, and all males.

Didn't let any girls and women wait in front of them. When they get married in the future, they will naturally bring them in. Usually, there must be someone around to order them.

Of course, she also assigned a servant to Yuan Jiaqi, not only equipped with these, he also had a special carriage to pick him up and down.

Duke Zhen sent six warriors here because he was very happy about the marriage, to **** Yuan Jiaqi and protect Jixiangyuan at night.

Actually, he didn’t want to send it off. Qiao Mai also considered it. Although the capital is prosperous, it is also chaotic. Yuan Jiaqi doesn’t know martial arts.

When he fell asleep, someone gave him a pillow, and Qiao Mai helped Yuan Jiaqi accept it.
