The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

In the sixth year of Yanping's reign, the weather got hot a little early. Early summer had not yet arrived, but the sun was already scorching hot.

In this regard, the servants of Yongxinghou Mansion said that they have the most say.

The wedding day for the third young lady in the house is coming soon. Everyone in the house is either busy putting up lanterns and decorations, shopping and selecting goods, or moving wedding boxes around. In short, what they want is A lively atmosphere.

Mrs. Zheng looked at everyone sweating profusely and nodded with satisfaction. In Sheng Yuan's sarcastic words, it looked like a capitalist enjoying exploitation.

Of course, she wouldn't dare to say this outright.

Even if her own mother doesn't know what a capitalist is, she does know what it means to beat a child!

In fact, as the most leisurely person in the whole house, Sheng Yuan didn't dare to hang out in front of her mother at the moment, for fear that she would become the target of being yelled at if she didn't pay attention.

She stayed in the study to receive the court information from all sides, and Mrs. Zheng couldn't think of looking for her to preach for the time being.

"Ever since Emperor Chengyuan advocated simplicity, when noble families in Kyoto hold weddings, the dowry has never exceeded one hundred and eighty yuan." Ms. Zheng looked at the registers on the table and sighed with worry in her eyes.

Sheng Xiangxun had just come back from outside. After washing his hands, he said "Hey" and sat on the couch with his legs crossed. He leaned against the couch table and poked his head to look at the stacked books on it. While reading, he said, "Then let's do it." It will be done as per one hundred and eighty loads, and every load will be filled to the brim. As for the items that cannot be accommodated, they will be packed separately and sent to the Ancheng Marquis Mansion alone after the wedding."

"You don't have to say this!" Ms. Zheng scratched her temples with the penholder, and her beautiful eyebrows almost came together. "I didn't even think about putting the things that the old Duke gave to Sister Yuan into the dowry box. After all, the treasures that have not been released in the two warehouses are already dazzling just opening the door of the warehouse. Not to mention a hundred and eighty-carrying dowry box, even three hundred and sixty-carrying can still not be accommodated."

"That's right, otherwise we would have just carried them to the Marquis of Ancheng's Mansion in the past two days. Anyway, the old man left a team of dowry soldiers for Sister Yuan and sent them with him. Didn't Brother Yu say that the Marquis of Ancheng's Mansion would leave them alone? Is there a large area built for Sister Yuan? Let them discuss it!" Sheng Xiangxun waved his hand to tell Zheng not to think too much.

"What you said is so easy. Can that bad daughter of yours agree?" Mrs. Zheng was amused by his cheap words, "Xiaohe Wen, Queen Mother, didn't she give the house opposite the Ancheng Marquis' Mansion to Yuan? Sister, are you there? That good daughter of yours insists on putting the soldiers that the old man gave you, the guards that we will take as a dowry, and the dowry that the old man gave you."

"Why is this?" Sheng Xiangxun was a little surprised, "Don't you have to put the baby under your nose to feel at ease?"

"She said that the old man gave too many good things. If we can't get along with Brother Yu in the future, it would be too troublesome to move away! It's better to put it on the opposite side. If you don't want to live with it, just lift up and leave! Tell me, she Are you angry?!" Zheng was so angry that she slammed the table.

If the little girl hadn't been getting married soon, she would have been served by a duster, so that she, a third-grade servant, couldn't speak human words!

"..." Sheng Xiangxun was speechless after hearing this. After a long while, he smiled dryly and said, "My daughter's words are not pleasant, but she is just preparing for a rainy day..." Unfortunately, before he could finish his words of defense, he was already brutally attacked. Duster attack.

"It's a good idea to prepare for a rainy day! You haven't even gotten married yet, so why don't you want to get divorced first?! I think she learned that unreasonable energy from you!" Mrs. Zheng insisted, "It's hard to beat your daughter now, but I can't beat you as an old man." The attitude of "spoiled" made the duster fly like a tiger.

After a while.

Sheng Xiangxun wiped away her bitter tears, looked at Mrs. Zheng who was tired from being beaten, and criticized the little girl with one voice: "That girl is really nothing. Wife, please don't be angry. We won't listen to her. Just Stuff all the things the old man gave you to the Ancheng Marquis Mansion! Let her tire herself!"

"..." After hearing the last word, Zheng felt that she could still wave the duster hundreds of times.

"You are such an old fool! What do you mean by letting her tire herself out?! When it comes to co-writing and divorce?!"

Mrs. Zheng was so angry that Sheng Xiangxun, who was running around with his head in his hands and his shoes on, felt it was too difficult. Unfortunately, he had nowhere to go and could only huddle in the side room and wait for his wife to calm down.

Fortunately, packing the dowry was a bit complicated, so Ms. Zheng didn't let him curl up for too long, and asked someone to call him back to continue the discussion.

"Sister Yuan has many properties in her own hands. Those given by her aunt, those given by the late emperor, and those she manages herself. There are all kinds of properties, which may not be less than those given by the old man. These have to be arranged separately." Now when it comes to business, Sheng Xiangxun behaved more reliably, "If you ask me, let's not think about it here. Let's just leave it all to Sister Yuan and let her make her own arrangements."

"You have a good idea, but she won't continue! This girl is on vacation now, and she has no time to rest. She spends all day reviewing the affairs of the court... Brother Yu, I told the court a month ago She asked for leave to go to court, which is good for her. She reluctantly asked for leave when she was about to get married. "

As Zheng was talking, she found that the reasons for scolding her little girl were not repeated every time, and she suddenly became happy.

"Then you can't blame her! Brother Yu doesn't have a real job, and our sister Yuan is the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"Yes, yes! Your daughter is the pillar of the imperial court. The imperial court cannot function without her!" Madam Zheng was speechless, "Your daughter is so busy that she is almost as old as the cabinet!"

"Hey, the cabinet minister is amazing. Who said Sister Yuan won't be able to be a good one in the future?" Sheng Xiangxun muttered softly. (End of chapter)
