Chapter 101 Marriage Day 1
Of course it didn't end that easily.

Not long after the news of Xue Shibalang's injury and paralysis came out, another big event happened in the city of Chang'an—Xue Xiu, the son-in-law of Princess Tang Chang, got a delicate and lovely concubine as a gift from a friend. Ruo Zhibao, I have to go to her place every day when I go home, the two are very affectionate.When Princess Tang Chang knew about it, she became jealous, so she took advantage of Xue Xiu's meeting with friends and dragged him over, cut off the little beauty's ears and nose, and tortured her to death.

Not to mention, after Xue Xiu came back, she lured Xue Xiu to her again, and used the weapon given to the little beauty to "cut ears and noses" to hold down Xue Xiu's head, trying to cut off Xue Xiu's head. hair as a sign of humiliation.Xue Xiu struggled desperately, escaped from the tiger's den with great difficulty, ran to the gate of Xingqing Palace in disheveled clothes, knelt down and shouted, begging Xuanzong to uphold justice for him.

When things got to this point, Xuanzong didn't want to be too biased, so he had to call Princess Tangchang into the palace to reprimand him, and ordered her to apologize to the concubine and contemplate for a month behind closed doors.

In other words, for at least a month, their world was quiet.

After hearing the news, Mu Jiaojiao let out a long sigh of relief.

Now, she can wait for marriage in peace.

One and a half months, whether it is long or not, is not short.With all kinds of shocking news in Chang'an City one after another, the day when Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu get married is coming soon.

On the third day of July, Mu Jiaojiao got up early in the morning, and went to greet Mu You and Gong Shi as usual.

Looking at her, Mrs. Gong thought of the half of the family wealth that was about to be distributed, and her heart ached terribly - those originally belonged to her Shishilang!Although she took the initiative to put forward this opinion to Mu You that day, she also got Mu You's strong approval.Mu You also held her hand excitedly and shouted: "You are indeed my virtuous wife, you have considered everything for me. Miss Liu knows that you are so wholeheartedly thinking about her, she will definitely be very grateful to you! "

What does she want to be grateful for?That's her son's money!In this way, it was given to this girl who had no mother-daughter relationship with him.

So now, she can't see Mu Jiaojiao at all.Taking a second look, her heart felt like a sharp knife had been stabbed into it, bloody and painful.

So, she took her daughter Jiu Niangzi out on the pretext of preparing a wedding dress and other things for Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu You took the opportunity to call Mu Jiaojiao to him again, and handed a three-inch square rosewood wooden box to Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Jiaojiao, you are going to get married today, and you will become a member of your husband's family from now on. Father wants to take care of you, but he can’t take care of you anymore. There are a few gold leaves in this box, and a few land deeds from Yangzhou and Hangzhou, which I prepared for you in addition to the dowry. If something goes wrong in the future, you can also There is a place to go."

"Father..." Mu Jiaojiao's heart twitched suddenly, his eyes turned sour, and he threw himself into his arms and began to cry.

Mu You also had tears in her eyes, and gently rubbed the top of her head: "Okay, today is your good day, don't cry. You have a good rest during the day, and you will be able to get married to your in-law's house in a while. At night, you will be married to your in-law's house." , and you are troubled! You are already weak, how can you make such a fuss? It's just that the Cui family is a powerful family, and there must be a lot of rules. You can only grit your teeth and endure it..."

As he spoke, his voice choked up.

The father and daughter hugged each other and shed a few tears, but Mu You finally restrained herself.He also told her some precautions after arriving at her in-law's house, and then drove her back to her room to rest.

In the afternoon, Aunt Mu, Mu Haoyu and other aunts and sisters all came back.Everyone surrounded Mu Jiaojiao, vying to dress her up.Among them, Mu Yulu was the most active in running before and after running.

Aunt Mu sat aside, looking at Mu Jiaojiao who was sitting quietly in front of the vanity mirror, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable—with Mu Jiaojiao, a lady who married into the Ge Laofu, she was just a lady who climbed up to Chang'an Ling Will it be useless in the future?These days, she has clearly noticed that her family's attitude towards her is much colder.But it was Mrs. Cao who made her feel cold the most——

On that day, Guanshi Cao came to propose marriage aggressively, but not only failed to settle the marriage, but returned to Cao's mansion in despair.When they asked, they found out that Mu Jiaojiao was proposed by so many families at the same time, including the Cui family whose status was much higher than the Cao family!

"It must be a fake! What is her identity? How could the Cui family fall in love with her? Maybe she was asked to be a concubine by a side branch of the Cui family. She has worked so hard to gain such a big reputation, isn't it just to climb the high branches? Is it? She can only climb such high branches!" This was the first reaction of Mrs. Cao after hearing the news.

But when Guanshi Cao told her that Mrs. Wang, who was born in the first line of the Cui family, was the one who came to propose marriage on behalf of the Cui family, she was stunned.

"Perhaps the Cui family deliberately made such a move in order to raise her status because of the fact that she cured Cui Langjun. In this way, if she married another family, she would be looked up to by others. .Anyway, don’t the Cui family do too many things like this to add credit to people?”

Anyway, she just refused to admit that the Cui family would have a crush on Mu Jiaojiao.

In fact, why isn't Aunt Mu also skeptical about this matter?But looking at Mu Jiaojiao's unfazed and calm demeanor, she couldn't help but secretly startled—an ordinary family would definitely not be able to keep such a daughter.I'm afraid only those rich and powerful families who have accumulated for many years can accommodate her.Moreover, she gradually discovered that Mu Jiaojiao's indifferent and graceful demeanor was almost exactly the same as many noble girls she had seen, and even surpassed many noble girls...

However, on the third day after Mrs. Cao made such a conclusion, the slap in the face happened again-the Cui family really came to propose marriage!Moreover, it was Mu Jiaojiao who was married in a dignified manner, lively and lively, with three matchmakers and six engagements, and married with proper etiquette.

This incident aroused turbulent waves in Chang'an City at that time, and it was the same in Cao Mansion.

The old lady Cao was stunned for a long time before she slowly opened her mouth: "The Cui family is crazy, right? Their sons, even if they are blind and lame, there are more than enough young ladies of the right family who are willing to marry. Why can't they think about it so much? In order to repay a kindness, you will lose the whole life of a good little man?"

"She must have asked for this!" Cao Shu suddenly shouted, "Just like last time, when she cured my illness, she insisted on taking my most beloved shrimp whisker bracelet as a thank you gift. This time also It must be the same. Otherwise, who can look up to her with such a high gate in the Cui family? She must have spent the night at the Cui family and was fascinated by the wealth and luxury of the Cui family. Enjoy the glory and wealth. The Cui family sees her kindness in curing Mr. Cui Dalang, and they are too embarrassed to refuse, so they have no choice but to introduce a concubine Mr. Cui to perfuse her."

"Thirteenth Mother, don't talk nonsense! The gentleman of the Cui family, even if he is a concubine, he is a noble man, how can he be pushed out if he wants to be perfunctory?" Aunt Mu was terrified when she heard it, and hurriedly scolded.

Mrs. Cao was not happy.She hugged Cao Shu into her arms: "I think Thirteen Niang is right. Besides, what reason do you have to explain this matter? It's not like you haven't seen Miss Mu's behavior before, eyelids The depths are so shallow, if you see any good things, you will desperately pull them into your arms, as if you have never seen any good things!"

"That's right. She is a merchant girl, what kind of world has she seen? When she first came to our house, she was squeamish and refused to let go of anything. When she came to Cui's house, she saw more good things, so of course she couldn't let go. Now." With the support of the most senior elder in the family, Cao Shu became more confident.

Aunt Mu was very anxious.But in front of Mrs. Cao, she dared not say a word.

Mrs. Cao is getting older and more self-righteous.She also likes Cao Shu, because Cao Shu's temperament is exactly the same as when she was young, straightforward and straightforward.Cao Shu did what she liked, and simply showed this side of her temperament to the fullest.So far, it has come to this point!It's just that she is just an aunt, and she is not qualified to discipline her daughter at all. Now she can only watch her daughter go further and further on this evil path.

At this time, Mrs. Cao couldn't stand it anymore, so she said softly: "That being said, it is a fact that the Mu family and the Cao family are married now. This is also a happy event for our relatives, old lady, shall we also Should I send a generous gift to celebrate?"

"Gifts are of course necessary, but big gifts are unnecessary. The Mu family's status is there, and they have been merchants who are not on the stage all their lives. We give them generous gifts, and they think we are afraid of the power of the Cui family and deliberately curry favor What about them! You can't make them frivolous! How did Mu's family give presents in the past, and how they will be given in the future!"

Mrs. Cao frowned slightly, and tried to persuade her a few more words.But looking at the domineering expressions of Mrs. Cao and Cao Shu, they finally gave up.

But when she turned around and went out, she still quietly asked someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to Mu's house, but she said half of it when she reported it to Mrs. Cao.

On the wedding day, Aunt Mu brought Cao Shu to add makeup, Madam Cao specially prepared a generous gift for makeup, and handed it to Aunt Mu for her to bring over.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cao was well prepared.Otherwise, when the mother and daughter came over and saw the makeup gifts piled up like a hill in Mu Jiaojiao's room, how could they get what they had?

This fact also clearly made Aunt Mu understand that her time has passed.From now on, the future of the Mu family will be firmly bound together with Mu Jiaojiao.Her aunt who has been married for many years is about to become a useless chess game.

Like Aunt Mu, Cao Shu was also in the same mood.Of course, at a young age, she didn't think as deeply as Aunt Mu. All she could think about was - why?Isn't the daughter of this merchant's family good at medical skills? How could she become famous in just a few months and still get married in such a beautiful way today!

Just now, when she was sitting here, she heard someone report that the old dignitaries in Chang'an City, the Wang family, the Zheng family, the Li family, and the Lu family all sent makeup gifts.There are also upstart Cheng family, Qin family, Yuchi family and other military families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years, and they also have generous gifts to send.In addition, the Pei family, Xue family, Wei family, and Liu family of the four surnames in Guanzhong also caught up with the excitement.There are also many famous people who have come to show their faces.Although most of them didn't show up, just reporting this series of names was enough to make her look good.

In the past, only the noble girls with extremely prominent status in Chang'an City would be treated like this, but she actually met her!How does this not drive people crazy with envy?

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao talking and laughing surrounded by many people, she finally couldn't help it, and said eccentrically: "Cousin Mu's family is really lucky. With her good medical skills, she has saved so many lives and won so many People like it. Even the Cui family didn’t care that day when they had skin-to-skin relatives with another man from another family in the Peony Tower, and they still wanted to marry. I don’t know how you did it? Do you have any coups, please remember to teach them Give us some. We are all blood relatives, you can't hide your secrets! Whether we can marry a good family for the rest of our lives is all tied to you!"
