Create a home with a system

Chapter 456 Visiting the door
Wu Jiazi was also uncomfortable here, he was still thinking about how to use the opportunity to create public opinion if the proposal of marriage with Yuan Cong failed today, so that the reputation of the Yuan family's daughter would be worse, and Yuan Cong would propose marriage to him in turn.

Before he could figure out a plan, the imperial decree of the emperor's marriage came down, cutting off all his thoughts directly, Wu Jiazi is so hateful!Indifferent is more about jealousy, her own daughter's marriage has not yet been settled, but Yuan's daughter has become the wife of the eldest son, Yuan Cong also hugged Pingnanhou Dingbeihou's thigh, and his official career is expected to go further.

The more he thought about Wu Jiazi, the more he became frustrated, and for no reason, he became very angry at home.

Of course, other families were also surprised, envious, and jealous, and Yuan Yingxue's name suddenly spread.

The Yuan family didn't care about those movements. On the second day after the emperor bestowed the marriage, Marquis Pingnan and Marquis Dingbei sent people to send invitations.

From the housekeeper to the cleaning lady in the Yuan Mansion, everyone was as excited as welcoming a star, and even got up early in the morning to clean up.

As soon as Yuan Cong came out of the room, he saw the busy servants at home. After learning that it was arranged by the housekeeper, he immediately called the housekeeper for questioning.

But the housekeeper said righteously: "Master, that's the Marquis of Dingbei and Pingnan! You're such a powerful person that you can't even dream of seeing him!"

"I think you're crazy!" Yuan Cong complained angrily, but didn't stop him.

Just after the hour, Dingbeihou and Pingnanhou really arrived at Yuan's Mansion, and brought several official media along with them.

The butler hurried out to greet him, seeing the battle, he laughed so hard that he almost lost his eyesight.

Yuan Cong also took Yuan Chao forward to salute, "I have met the Marquis of Dingbei and Marquis of Pingnan."

"Your Majesty Yuan, you don't need to be too polite, we will be in-laws from now on." Qiu Jingming smiled gently, without any airs.

Yuan Cong was stunned for a moment, and his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly led them into the hall.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides got to the point.

Qiu Jingming pondered: "Today, our husband and wife invited the official media, mainly to hear what brother Yuan's requirements are for the marriage, and what are the particulars about the dowry."

Although everyone is in Xijing, they come from all corners of the country. Who knows what is going on in Yuan's hometown.

Yuan Cong did not expect Marquis Dingbei to be so thoughtful, and his heart was filled with emotion, thinking that they had had some troubles at the beginning, Yuan Cong was always worried that Marquis Dingbei would neglect his daughter because of this, but now it seems that he was too worried up.

Thinking of this, Yuan Cong immediately felt ashamed of his narrow-mindedness, and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, but we didn't think too much about it. The Yuan family's ancestral land is in the southwest, and there are not so many red tapes. In addition, I left home at a young age. I don't have much impression of some customs in my hometown, so everything should be done according to the rules of Dingbeihou Mansion and Pingnanhou Mansion."

Qiu Jingming and Tangning looked at each other, then turned to the official media, "If that's the case, please tell me what the rules are here in Xijing, so that we can refer to them."

The official media hurriedly introduced the wedding etiquette in Xijing. After hearing this, Qiu Jingming only felt that one head was two big, and Yuan Cong was a little confused. Tangning had a good memory, and nodded after listening, "In this case, we It’s not good to be too outstanding, everything should be done according to the rules, but rules are dead, people are alive, don’t worry, Master Yuan, we will not make people laugh at us!”

Yuan Cong didn't understand the deep meaning of Tangning's words at first. It wasn't until the day of the next engagement, when the dowry was brought out from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion around the city, that everyone was surprised to find that the box containing the dowry gifts in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was actually bigger than the usual box. It was more than half the size, and besides, there were many paper bags or small boxes with red paper on top of each box, and it was obvious that the boxes couldn’t fit.

Seeing the betrothal ceremony, Xijing was boiling again. All the relatives and friends of the Yuan family came to join in the fun. When the box was carried into the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, even Mrs. Yuan, who had been ill for a long time, had a new dress and let the servants carry it out.

Seeing these boxes, Mrs. Yuan was shocked for a long time before she came back to her senses, and sighed: "This noble family is different from ordinary officials and eunuchs, even the boxes containing the dowry gifts are so different."

The nanny explained from the side: "Ma'am, not all noble houses are like this. This old servant has followed you to Xijing for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a battle."

Princess Li nodded in agreement, "Don't say you haven't seen it, even I haven't seen it! I think the boxes used by the princes when they married their concubines were just ordinary standard boxes, but since ancient times, the specifications of this box There is no definite number, and there is nothing wrong with the Pingnan Hou Mansion using this special large box."

Madam Yuan was even more joyful when she heard this, and there was some blood on her pale face.

Xu's side was sour, and said: "Yingxue's life is better! Unlike our Rou'er, when she was young, she was not as lovable as Yingxue, and when she grows up, she can't find a good marriage."

Princess Li's face immediately darkened when she heard the words, and Madam Yuan's smile also faded a little, because today was a happy event for her family and she didn't lose face on the spot.

Princess Li didn't have so many scruples, and immediately asked: "Sister-in-law thinks that this princess is biased or that it is wrong for this princess to discipline Jin Rou. If you really think that girl does not need to be disciplined, my princess's hand is too long. This princess can withdraw those people and stop meddling in the Shen family's affairs."

Xu changed his face in an instant, pulled out a smiling face with difficulty, and said: "Princess misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Yuan said displeasedly: "I think that when I was in poor health, I wanted my sister-in-law to help me raise Xue'er, but it was my sister-in-law who pushed back and forth and said that you had to take care of Rou'er so that there would be no extra time. Energy, I can't ask my eldest sister for help. When Xueer was by her side, she learned the rules clearly, knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to measure.

Rou'er, but a sensible elder sister doesn't need to bother so much. Now that my sister-in-law blames the elder sister, she is the elder sister instead. What's the reason for this? "

Xu gritted her teeth tightly, suppressing the anger that was about to erupt in her chest, and did not say a word.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan stopped talking.

At this time, the official media also began to read the gift list in front of everyone. The precious pearls, agates, gemstones, jades and gold ornaments are all counted by box. There is also a dowry of taels of silver.

After entering this amount, Mrs. Xu was so jealous that her face was beyond recognition, she ran away from home sensibly, if the nanny insisted on holding her, I'm afraid she would say some nasty words again to disturb everyone.

Because the gift list is too long, the official media should have read it for a quarter of an hour before finishing reading it, drank a glass of water dryly, and congratulated several masters of the Yuan Mansion: "Congratulations to Miss Six of your mansion for finding this good son-in-law, I won’t bother you any more, I’ll take my leave first.”

The housekeeper immediately handed over the money, the official media's smile deepened, and they said some nice words, and then led the people away.
