Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

Chapter 20 Mianmian, you have to support your grandfather
Mr. Pei complained loudly, peeking at the emperor from time to time, full of grievances, and the emperor sneered, "Bring up the dowry list you prepared?"

Lord Pei shuddered, and honestly presented the dowry list. The emperor glanced at it briefly, only to feel that it was a little thin.

"Just because the dowry is less, the clerk will drag you out of the door?"

Mr. Pei dared not lie in front of the emperor, he honestly told the cancellation of the sedan chair, and at the same time stated, "Wei Chen is also kind, the two houses are separated by a wall, so why bother to go around that big circle? Not to mention spending a lot of money."

"It is also a good thing for General Wen to carry the person on his back and watch the ceremony on the spot."

"After all, the national treasury is not rich now."

The emperor laughed angrily, no wonder he was beaten by the clerk, and in his opinion, he should beat him first.

"How much does it cost to go around a circle?"

Lord Pei hurriedly said: "According to King Annan's request, it will cost at least 2000 taels more to go around like this."

The emperor asked again: "General Wen has made great achievements in military affairs all his life. He guarded the frontier all the year round in exchange for his current stability. Are you telling him that his daughter is not even worthy of a sedan chair when she gets married? I can't even give him the 2000 taels? "

"You still think that my son deserves such a shabby wedding."

The emperor's words contained anger, and when he thought that Wen Mian might come to him again and cry unrelentingly, he wanted to beat Pei Xuan badly.

No matter how bad the sixth prince is, he is also his son.

Lord Pei suddenly felt cold all over, and he touched the ground with his forehead, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, be damned, Wei Chen will go back and prepare the dowry again, and strive to make the preparations for King Annan's wedding a glorious one."

The emperor looked at him coldly, "No need."

If Pei Xuan is not severely punished, the clerk Mian will probably come to him personally. The border is unstable at the moment, and the clerk Mian is just in use. He also hopes that this marriage will be held in a grand manner. .

Didn't expect to be screwed up by this bastard.

"Xuan Gu Qi Li came to see me immediately."

The servant waiting outside the door answered respectfully and hurriedly ran out to find someone.

Master Pei's face was ashen, and Gu Qi Li was the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He had been steadily suppressing him for all these years. He didn't expect that he had made such a big mistake and gave him a chance.

"Pei Xuan, I miss you as an old minister in the court. I will leave a third of your face for you. Please resign yourself."

With a look of dejection, Master Pei respectfully kowtowed to the emperor, thanked the emperor for his promotion for many years, and silently turned around and retired.

In the afternoon, in General Wen Sheng's mansion, the clerk's happy laughter spread far and wide, and he was even more satisfied with Hua Jingyun after a meal.

Hua Jingyun wanted to ask him to train a bodyguard on his behalf. There were only a few hundred bodyguards, so he paid 5 taels. Looking at the big pile of bank notes, Wen Lingxiao's eyes turned red, not to mention the documents.

Hooking Hua Jingyun's shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I guarantee that your 100 people will train you to be one against ten masters. Let me tell you, I will teach them two kinds of battle formations. As long as they practice well, they will be regarded as masters." 100 people is also an extremely strong combat force."

It was no secret that the Wen Family Army's battle formation was powerful, and it was no secret for a long time. Wen Mian once led the [-] Wen Family Army to pursue the enemy bandits. In one month, they fought thirteen games in a row, and they won thirteen games.

Among them, the most shocking thing is that 500 troops wiped out 6000 enemy troops. When the news came, the court was in an uproar, and even the veteran general of the court said:

Most of the generals who are military generals eat the food that God will reward, but there are some good and bad food rewarded by God, and this General Wen is the person who is chasing after the reward. Few people can compare to him in the military. top talent.

The battle method of the battle formation was also very popular in the army.

Hua Jingyun did not hide his purpose, "I also want those people to learn one or two battle formations, so that they will have a guarantee when they go out."

"To be honest with my brother-in-law, I have encountered several ambushes when I returned to Beijing this time, and lost a lot of manpower. If the people below will fight more, I will lose less."

Wen Lingxiao slapped Hua Jingyun on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely train you properly."

The father and son did not intend to get involved in the battle between the princes, but they were still very concerned about Hua Jingyun's safety. After all, they were their own family members.

Just as he was talking, the chief steward Wang Qing came, followed by Gu Qili, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. After seeing the ceremony, Gu Qili gave him a new dowry list, "My lord, this is the dowry list newly drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, please take a look."

Hua Jingyun took it, seeing that the betrothal price has increased from 68 to 81, and most of the fake items have been replaced, this one seems to be quite satisfactory.

"Lord Hardworking Gu."

Gu Qi Li hurriedly handed over and took out a new list of the wedding day. Not only did the eight-carrying sedan chair, accompanying musicians, etc. are all available, but the detour route was also re-planned.

"The emperor's meaning is that the general has fought for Dongshu for many years, and has worked hard for a lot. The marriage of Miss Wen should be congratulated by the whole city. On the wedding day, in addition to holding a banquet at the Nanwang's mansion and the general's mansion at the same time, the emperor additionally rewarded five carts of meat and ten carts of fine wine. , let the soldiers in the army also feel the joy of the general and the prince."

The clerk handed over, "The emperor is kind, but the general is disrespectful. Later, he will enter the palace and thank the emperor in person."

"Master Gu, the little girl wants to be beautiful when she gets married, and the hard-working Master Gu will do her best to undertake it."

Lord Gu bowed his hands and said, "This is a matter within the rank of the lower official, please rest assured the prince and the general."

As for what happened to Pei Xuan, no one mentioned it, because it was unnecessary.

Three days later, on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, on the auspicious day that was re-selected by the Qin Tianjian, the people of Kyoto once again watched the officials of the Ministry of Rites go out with a dowry gift in a mighty voice. This time the appointment was very smooth and smooth. When the clerk was happy, he invited the officials of the Ministry of Rites and those who carried the betrothal gifts.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites sat in the banquet, sipping hot wine and sighing in their hearts. They were forcibly swept out of the house three days ago, but now they have become the guests of the General's House, watching Gu Qili and General Wen push the cups. Changing the lamp, smiling Yan Yan, even more emotional.

Pei Xuan asked himself to retire on the court, and the emperor agreed without hesitation. Gu Qili, a newly-released minister of the Ministry of Rites, made them proud on his first day in office.
At this moment, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Wen, who had already eaten, started to practice calligraphy with Wen Mianmian in the Han's Court again, looked left and right and lowered her voice, "Mianmian, your grandmother is coming back the day after tomorrow, you have to give it to your grandfather. support."

Wen Mianmian admired her greatly improved words, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have even thought about the reasons, and there is no problem with keeping it."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandfather believes in you."

The few days of practicing calligraphy with his granddaughter were the happiest days for him in so many years. The admiration of his granddaughter made him extremely happy.
