Chapter 1925 Stop and fight 83
The Li Mansion was very fast. General Li led troops to fight and guard the border. After settling the matter, he could go to the border with peace of mind.
It only took about ten days to insert hairpins, appoint people, combine horoscopes, and so on. Everything was done in one day. All the necessary etiquette is complete, and the three true books and six etiquettes are true for marrying Liu Lu.
In addition to the proper betrothal gift, including wine, meat, wild geese, cloth, and jewelry, there was also a total of two thousand taels of silver. Afterwards, Li Cheng secretly sent another two thousand taels and carried it to the house. He said that each time he robbed five taels, he simply gave him the money he had earned from robberies in this life.
Liu Lu was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, so Xi Ning accepted it generously for Liu Lu and said thank you on her behalf.
Xining, the military advisor, and the four heads of the family were all very satisfied with what Li Mansion had done. According to this dynasty, a woman's dowry was higher than the betrothal gift. The Li family was afraid that Liu Lu would not have any savings, so they sent money.
The final wedding day is set for April next year. When spring comes, the Tatars will go out to herd and will basically not disturb the people.
Li Cheng went to ask for a divorce, but it was not approved, so he had to go back to Yanguan with him, and wait until March after the spring of next year before returning to Beijing to get married.
Everything else that needed to be done was entrusted to Mrs. Li, and through her eldest daughter-in-law, she invited the head of Yong'an County to the mansion.
Xining clearly brought Liu Lu with him, and Liu Lu "amazed" the entire Li family.
In the yard, Liu Lu was dancing with her best stone lock, which was the heaviest stone lock. All the female relatives were stunned.
During the meal, Liu Lu's good appetite was surprising. One bowl followed another. Except for Mrs. Li, who was used to seeing her husband and son eating, and asked people to quickly serve food and refill the rice, the other female relatives could only watch. They all said that Liu Lu's appetite was just like that of the Li family. As a man, he really doesn't belong to the same family.
Xining did not stop or remind Liu Lu. After all, Liu Lu was going to marry into the Li family in the future. Let the people in the Li family know what Liu Lu was like as soon as possible, and don't say anything about these things in the future.
Li Cheng was asked to accompany Liu Lu for a walk in the yard, and Yun Lian followed. Xi Ning sat in the main seat and chatted with several female members of the Li family.
Mrs. Li is also in her forties, and she seems to take good care of herself, but after all, time is not forgiving, and her face has many wrinkles. On the other hand, there are two widowed daughters-in-law, one is smarter than the other, and their clothes are simple and simple, not as rich as those of a wealthy family, but they are neat and tidy, which makes them look elegant.
Whether you are living well or not can be determined by looking at a person's complexion. It seems that Mrs. Li usually handles all the work in the house.
The eldest daughter-in-law said with some curiosity: "Miss Liu Lu has the demeanor of a general. If I didn't tell you, I would have thought she was the daughter of the Li family. It's a pity that I heard that her parents have passed away long ago, otherwise I really want to meet her."
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the words sounded meaningful, and Xining smiled lightly.
In this bandit's den, my parents thought about what it was like. Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "The deceased is gone, so there is no need to think about it. County Lord, please rest assured, as long as she marries into our Li Mansion, she will be my biological daughter."
"That's right, my mother-in-law is very good to us. Probably my biological mother is just like this." The second daughter-in-law quickly started talking and told Xining how kind Mrs. Li was to them.
Xining listened with a smile, and when he returned, he felt relieved.
The eldest daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be a weird person. Although the second daughter-in-law is more talkative, she only talks about everyday things. As for Mrs. Li, she seems to be kind and kind, and none of the servants in the Li family are domineering.
I have long heard that because the Li family is a general, they are stationed at the border all year round. At that time, there are always wars, so no one wants their daughter to be a widow after marrying, so the woman she marries does not pay attention to the lintel, but only wants to be kind-hearted, able to keep her duty, and healthy. OK.
Liu Lu, this fool, not only caught Li Cheng's eye, but also caught him by mistake.
Sitting in the bullock cart, looking at Liu Lu's chubby cheeks and bright eyes, Yun Lian was extremely envious.
She could see Yun Lian's little thoughts. In the face of glory and wealth, any mortal will basically be tempted. Yunlian will not follow Liu Lu as a dowry maid, but can only marry her master into the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
The Li Mansion has no maids, so the Zhongyong Hou Mansion can at least have a chance to be a sterile concubine. However, this matter has not yet been decided, which means that the body master may want to be the master of the game world. You must know that in the previous dynasty and this dynasty, many princesses became female Taoist priests, gained some dignity, and were very happy.
When I returned to the mansion, I heard that Taohong was back. As soon as Taohong saw her, her first words were: "Zhai Leader, my brother and I have fallen out!"
Uh..., it seems that what he worried about has come true, and King Hui wants to use Taohong as a bargaining chip.
"He wants me to testify and reveal your identity as the leader of the village."
Now, the identity of the body owner has not yet been exposed, but the King of Chu is still a suspect of being a traitor and traitor.
"I didn't agree, so I put the knife on his neck and let him go after leaving the city." Taohong swallowed her saliva and said with some difficulty: "By the way, I robbed him of a box of gold."
Uh...
Xining touched his slightly swollen forehead, wondering if she had led Taohong Liulu to bad things, and everyone imitated her in robbing. Liu Lu robbed Li Cheng, which was Li Cheng's pleasure; but Tao Hong robbed his own brother, this matter...
"How much?" There were too many words, and King Hui still hated her even more.
"About five hundred taels."
The amount is a bit...well, not a bit, but a lot. One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, so a total of five thousand taels of silver were robbed with this vote. This ticket sale is indeed a bit big!
Xining's head got bigger: "Yunlian, help me dress up, I want to enter the palace." It's better to tell the emperor about this quickly, no, it's better to tell the queen mother first.
"Is the village chief going to the palace?"
Xi Ning could not wait to rub her temples, feeling a little jumpy inside: "We can't wait until King Hui reports to the official or writes Zha Zi to complain."
"Probably not." Although Taohong was a little uneasy, she didn't panic: "If he dares to sue me, I will tell him about selling illegal salt."
"Huh?" Xining put down the hand covering his forehead.
Taohong took out a few stacks of paper from her clothes and handed them to her.
I took it and looked at it, but I didn’t recognize it. Taohong said: "This is Shiobei."
Now I understand that salt has always been controlled by the government, and merchants need to have salt to buy and sell salt. As for how to operate it, I don't know yet, but there are at least twenty or thirty pieces of salt in my hand, about several thousand kilograms, which is no longer an amount that a prince can possess.
Taohong said with a bit of pride: "I dug this out from his study."
Well, it’s not only kidnapping and robbery, but also intensifying it. If it’s done during the kidnapping, it’s robbery; if it’s done without King Hui’s knowledge, it’s theft. It's really in line with the bandit's industry operations, and he is so conscientious when he goes to see his brother.
"Then we have to enter the palace." Yan Yin held it in his hand and felt like a hot potato.
Taohong looked in surprise: "Why do you still want to go?"
She rolled her eyes: "This is a salt guide. Do you know what the crime of selling salt privately is? It's not written who belongs to this salt guide. If your brother doesn't admit it and rakes up these things, then not only is it You, the whole Black Tiger Village will be in trouble.”
Taohong was anxious when she heard this: "Then burn it."
"Is it okay if you have a fever?" She smiled bitterly, it would be great if it was really okay.
