Chapter 130 Wedding Bed


    Yu was silent.


    Anyuan Hou Mansion is already a good family in the capital. The Imperial College priest was so arrogant that he didn''t even give him the face of the Hou Mansion.


    The Yu family is also a scholarly family in Youzhou, and Yuli is an extremely good seedling. Otherwise, the Yu family would not have written a letter to her and asked her to send Yuli to the Imperial College.


    This is the second thing that the Yu family asked her for so many years. She refused the first thing, and she did it well. Who would have thought—


    Seeing that she was at a loss, An Yuanhou comforted her, "Don''t be too impatient. This year, let Li''er live in the Hou''s Mansion and let Yan''er teach him more. If you take the exam again next year, you will have a greater chance."


    Xie Yan is a Tanhua this year and has a very talented person. The Three Dukes and the elders praised him endlessly. Ordinary people want to ask him for teaching, but they have no chance at all.


    Xie Yan will soon be admitted to the Hanlin official.


    If it weren''t for the failure of this matter, An Yuanhou wouldn''t have asked Xie Yan to teach Yu Li in person.


    Seeing that Yu Shi didn''t say anything, An Yuanhou thought she was not satisfied, so he smiled and said, "Do you know how rare this opportunity is? It''s much better to study with Tanhualang for a year than to be in the Imperial College."


    It’s not that the level of Imperial College is not high, but that there are too many students in Imperial College. If it were not for the best, it would be difficult to get extra guidance from the Masters.


    Yu sighed, "Li''er refused to move to the Hou''s Mansion."


    An Yuanhou frowned.


    Yu said, "He doesn''t know what Yan''er can teach him. I''ll talk to him again when I can learn from Tanhualang. He will definitely be moved."


    Not to mention a scholar from Youzhou, even a noble family from the capital, there are many people who want to ask Xie Yan for teaching and experience.


    She has been away from Beijing for five years and was able to quickly integrate into her wife''s circle when she returned. Xie Yan''s name is indelible.


    Meng Qianqian and Yu Li returned to Fengshui Hutong.


    When we got home, only Madam Hu and Madam Du were at home.


    Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Hey, where is the person?"


    Madam Hu said, "I was taken away by Manager Cen."


    Meng Qianqian said unawarely: "All of it?"


    This is the thing. As soon as Meng Qianqian and Yu Li went to the Shangshu Mansion to attend a banquet, Manager Cen walked over to the door and asked the Qi Uncle, Meng Tianlan, Meng Bo, and Mama Li to count the betrothal gifts.


    Logically, the bride''s gift must be delivered to the door, but first of all, Meng Qianqian has to hide the bride''s affairs, so as not to make trouble for the palace. Secondly, there are too many bride''s gifts, and Meng Qianqian''s house cannot be accommodated.


    So the Governor''s Office waved his hand and purchased a large courtyard in the capital to hold Meng Qianqian''s bride price.


    Madam Li always felt that Lu Yuan was a treacherous minister who cheated and was very shameless. She was scolding and could not be scolded as she counted.


    "Uh my dear mother!"


    Madam Wan came to watch the fun. As soon as she entered the yard, she was stunned, "Is the son-in-law taking out all the family''s assets to get married?"


    Son-in-law?


    Manager Cen glanced at Madam Wan, and she had a future.


    Meng Bo looked at the bride price list in his hand, then looked at the bride price that could not be loaded in the house and piled up in the yard, and rubbed his eyes hard.


    Meng Tianlan said in a daze: "What... I''m sure I''ve discounted the Governor''s arm, and paid Qianqian to him... instead of him discounting me... I''ve paid him by himself?"


    Uncle Qi: "Didn''t he really have any handle on the hands of the third girl?"


    Meng Tianlan swallowed: "What''s the use of the box? Maybe it''s empty."


    Madam Wan said, "Empty? Who is so immoral? He lifted the empty box to get a job? Do you pretend to give a bride gift? Hahahaha!"


    Seeing that Madam Li and others looked at her with a serious look on her face, she stopped smiling and said embarrassedly, "Is there really?"


    Isn’t that true? That''s what the Lu family did back then, both poor and pretending.


    The box was hired on the spot, but in fact it was all worthless, not as valuable as the box.


    Mama Li, Meng Tianlan, Uncle Qi and Meng Bo began to inspect the goods unboxing and inspect them.


    In less than a quarter of an hour, several people were blinded by gold. It was not until midnight that the group of people returned to Fengshui Hutong. The legs were weak and their hands were shaking. Don’t ask, asking was just a bride price that would make people collapse.


    The next day, Madam Li told Meng Qianqian about the bride price.


    Meng Qianqian said oh, but it was just a formality. She moved from the Governor''s Office to the compound and changed the place to be a warehouse. It was Lu Yuan''s own.


    Madam Li said again: "The dowry is so heavy, how much dowry should we give?"


    Meng Qianqian said, "Give as much as you have!"


    Madam Li was stunned.


    Meng Qianqian smiled and said quietly: "I have given so many dowry to marry Lu Lingxiao. Is the Grand Governor not as good as Lu Lingxiao?"


    The main reason is that Lu Yuan will not be greedy for her dowry, and it is much safer to bring her into the Governor''s Office than to put it outside.


    Madam Li looked at Meng Qianqian indescribable.


    Why doesn’t the lady look like she’s forced? Could it be that the lady has been deceived by Lu Yuan and is devoted to Lu Yuan?


    Madam Li scolded Lu Yuan hundreds of times in her heart!


    This marriage seems hasty, but in fact it is much more orderly than in Youzhou. One is that there are manager Cen to take on work, and the other is that the Governor''s Office does not have as many messy things as the Lu family, and they will not be domineering the Meng family with an official airs. It was obvious that the Lu family asked to marry Meng Qianqian back then, which seemed to have given the Meng family a lot of grace.


    It is not entirely true that the Governor''s Office has never wanted to establish his authority. However, Grandma wanted to make trouble several times, but Lu Yuan held it down.


    Grandma still refused to give up.


    The Grand Governor deserves to know how to control people. With the words "Concubine Li also wants her to be her daughter-in-law, you are sure to let my mother lose to Concubine Li", the grandma immediately stopped.


    The only thing that left Madam Li at a loss next was the wedding bed.


    Most wealthy families will prepare a marriage bed in advance when marrying their daughters. Unlike ordinary stepping beds, wedding beds pay attention to one work a day and one work in three years, which is also called a thousand work bed.


    Meng Qianqian was too young and was anxious to marry, so she didn''t have time to work as a Qiangong bed. She never thought it would be like this again this time.


    Madam Li said distressedly: "There are many thousand-work beds sold in the capital, but most of them are gimmicks, not real thousand-work beds."


    Meng Qianqian said, "It doesn''t matter, it''s all fake anyway."


    Fake a marriage and a fake marriage bed complement each other.


    Madam Li looked at her in surprise.


    Meng Qianqian smiled: "I mean, the Grand Governor won''t mind."


    It is related to the status and face of her lady in her husband''s family. Madam Li doesn''t want to be careless. She decided to go to the city later. It would be better if she could buy a real Qiangong bed. If not, at least she would buy a expensive step-drawing bed.


    Thinking of something, Madam Li asked, "By the way, Young Master Chou went out and said he had made an appointment with a friend. Does Young Master Chou have friends in the capital?"


    When he was a child, Yu Li protected the lady and the two young masters very much. Madam Li had a good impression of Yu Li.


    Meng Qianqian said, "Well, I just made friends yesterday."


    After breakfast, Madam Li went out to see the wedding bed.


    Meng Qianqian went to the next door to see Grandma Feng’s legs.


    "Grandma Feng, I''m here." She didn''t forget to bring the spicy chicken made by Madam Du.


    The blood clot cream has good effect, and Meng Qianqian gave her acupuncture to activate the acupoints, so Grandma Feng''s legs no longer hurt.


    Grandma Feng accepted her spicy chicken: "I heard that you want to buy a bed?"


    Meng Qianqian was stunned, hey, how did you know?


    Grandma Feng said indifferently: "You go to the carpenter''s house to ask, he may have sold it, but I don''t know if it''s good."


    Meng Qianqian: "The carpenter is..."


    Grandma Feng: "That big axe."


    The treacherous minister: What is Meng Xiaojiu doing?


    Qingshuang: I am buying a wedding bed.


    The treacherous minister: Did you think about the sleeping book supervisor so early? ? ?
