Chapter 428, Marriage to cause a sensation (6000
Seeing that Zhu Xiao was in such a hurry, Pan Hemei asked worriedly, "Did that Mrs. Qin make things difficult for you?"

"No, mother, I remember that when I left home last year, I left a brocade box for dad. Where's the brocade box?"

"You said that brocade box is here!" Pan Hemei said, getting up to get it, "At that time you left quietly and left this brocade box. It's locked with a lock, and I haven't opened it to see what's inside!"

Pan Hemei whispered.

She really hadn't read it, and even if she guessed what was inside, she didn't think about it.

I didn't even think about taking it for myself.

Or secretly open it to take a look, anyway, the key is in her hand, even if you open it and take a look, no one else will know.

Even if she took the bank notes inside, Zhu Xiao might not know how much she took.

It's just that Pan Hemei has never had such thoughts before, and they kept it safe all the time, thinking that Zhu Xiao would come back to Zhu Xiao, but this time they also forgot.

After Zhu Xiao said this, he quickly took it out, and took the key and handed it to Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao took the key and opened the brocade box.

A piece of warm jade, a pair of gold bracelets, and a pair of gold anklets are placed on top.

As long as it is confirmed that Mrs. Qing Zhonghou also lost a child in the early years, the identity of the silly father can be confirmed.

It's just that the Qingzhonghou's mansion is too messy, do you really want the silly father to go back?
In fact, Zhu Xiao doesn't really want Zhu Erlang to go back, but although Zhu Erlang doesn't say anything, he always wants to find his own home and find his own roots.

It's not to go back and inherit something, but to know where I came from and why I was in Zhujia Village back then?

Take out the jade plaque, bracelet, and anklet, "Mother, when father comes back, tell him that this is what he wore when he was a child. I already have clues about his life experience. If he wants to find his family, come and find me." , if he doesn't want to, just put away the things, I'll take these banknotes back!"

"it is good!"

Pan Hemei responded.

That money belonged to Zhu Xiao, she had no desire to covet it at all.

Zhu Xiao took it back if she wanted to.

She believes that Zhu Erlang will make a lot of money and let her live a better life.

Zhu Xiao left holding the brocade box.

Pan Hemei gently stroked the jade pendant, bracelet and anklet and sighed.

Looking at these few things, one can see that Zhu Erlang's family is probably very rich. Will he really want to go back then?
After going back, can she adapt to the life in the high-end mansion again, can she adapt to the schemes and calculations with those sisters-in-law?

She is used to the simple life now, with a fat and white son, a well-behaved and sensible stepdaughter, and a caring husband, she really doesn't want to go to the tall mansion to fight with others.

However, Zhu Erlang probably wants to go back...

on the carriage

Mrs. Qing Zhonghou held Mrs. Qin's hand, "Sister, tell me, is the person you saw at the door just now really my eldest brother?"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to come to the door to recognize relatives, let's see what the Zhu Mansion has to say!"

Everything still depends on Zhu Xiao.

Concubine Yi, who is firmly established, if the Hou Mansion rushed up and refused to respond at all, it would be embarrassing.

"I see!"

Back at the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Qing Zhonghou immediately went to see Qing Zhonghou, "I, I found our elder brother!"

Qing Zhonghou blinked, and sat up slowly, "What did you say?"

Searched for almost 40 years without any news, and suddenly found it?

"I saw a young man in the Zhu Mansion today, who looked like you when you were young. After some testing, I felt a little bit confused, but the elder sister said, don't worry!"

"Whose house?"

"Zhu Mansion, we are going to apologize to that family, the head of that family is very much like our elder brother!"

"..."

Qing Zhonghou was stunned.

It took a long time before he sighed, "If he is really the eldest brother, what are you going to do? Because of his daughter, we have descended from the palace to the palace, and you really can recognize him back without any hesitation?"

Mrs. Qing Zhonghou was silent for a moment, "If it's really my eldest brother, I will definitely recognize him. You know better than me why the palace came here in the first place!"

Qing Zhonghou looked at his old wife.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Now that she hasn't gone out for a walk, she doesn't know how there is a lot of discussion outside, but if she really wants to go out for a walk, after knowing what others say, she probably won't think so.

"That's up to you, you can do whatever you want. After going through this time, I suddenly understood a lot. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so I shouldn't care too much about it. Whether it's Mou or Yinyin, you should also You have to be restrained and disciplined, this kind of disaster is enough once, if there is another time, this family business will be completely destroyed!" Qing Zhonghou held his old wife's hand, "You have been in charge of the house for so many years, It's time to let the Cai family take care of it, she was born in a scholarly family and is the eldest daughter of the family, so I can rest assured that this family will be entrusted to her!"

"En!" Madam Hou nodded.

Qing Zhonghou said again, "Zezhen can't support this family. I plan to give the Hou's mansion directly to Junxuan. He is the eldest grandson. No matter Wen Tao or Wu Lue, he is one of the best. Only with him can we support this family. Parents are still there, so we don't need to separate the family, but the tree has big branches. When the family grows, we will naturally have to separate the family. After a while, I will be in better health, so let's divide the family. You earned as much money as you want in the government. How to divide it is up to you. Don’t give too much to the third, fourth, and fifth children, as long as they are not harsh and passable. After the separation, let their aunts go out with them, and don’t come in front of me if they have nothing to do in the future. Shake!"

In other words, Qing Zhonghou's love for Mrs. Hou is also true love.

It was also an accident to have those aunts.

He didn't put much thought into it, and Mrs. Hou never felt jealous. All her heart was on making money and finding her son.

It wasn't until later that she found out that she couldn't find it, maybe she would never get it back, and she was seriously ill, Zhu Zezhen proposed to have both sexes, and she agreed by accident.

"En!" Madam Hou nodded again.

This time the blow was actually quite big. After being terrified, she found that the son she had been looking for for many years suddenly appeared. That kind of ecstasy made her want to find someone to share.

Find someone to talk to.

Qing Zhonghou naturally wanted to find his son back, and he owed that child, but he didn't have such deep obsession with Mrs. Hou.

He held the old wife's hand, hugged her in his arms, and gently patted her on the back, "I know how you feel, and I understand you. If it's really our son, and I know he's doing well, then it will be fine, and I'll be fine." Don't force him to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. If he really recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, what should he be? It is impossible to take back the position of son of the eldest son from Zeyu, and he may not be able to support the family. If he feels indebted , just give him more money and let him live without worries, what do you think?"

Madam Hou thought about it carefully.

In fact, this is really the truth. If people are recognized, the whole family will be thrown into chaos.

First of all, what should Mou do?

Yinyin and Zhiyuan are originally the sons and daughters of the big house, what are they going to do?Going a little deeper, what should Zefeng, Junxuan and the others do?
In all aspects, the son must recognize it, but the family cannot be chaotic, so giving money is the best way.

More money can be given, but titles cannot be given.

No matter how the two couples discussed, there were very few people in this family who really hoped that their elder brother would be found.

But there are also a few people who don't care about the things of the Hou Mansion at all.

For example, Zhu Junxuan and Zhu Junhai, they have grown up and can make money, they have already been disappointed with this family, and they don't want anything from this family.

When the imperial edict arrived at Zhu's residence, Zhu Xiao went to the front hall alone to receive the imperial edict.

Looking at the rewards that were carried up and down, Zhu Xiao was surprised.

"Are these rewards from the emperor?"

Derong smiled, "Yes, congratulations to Ms. Zhu, congratulations to Ms. Zhu!"

Qi Hao stepped forward to give a pouch, and De Rong accepted it with a smile.

After talking for a while, he returned to the palace and returned to his life.

Looking at those things, Zhu Xiaosi looked over in the same way, "Tsk tsk tsk, just take out any of these things, they are enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for a lifetime!"

And she has so much at once.

"Register them all, and take them to the yard!" Zhu Xiaodao.

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er were happy for Zhu Xiao, and looked at the imperial decree and touched it again and again.

"Second sister, so this is the imperial decree!"

Zhu Xiao looked at Zhu Hua'er, and wanted to say that when she got married in the future, she would also go to the palace to beg.

It's just that it's hard to say such things, because I'm afraid I can't ask for Zhu Zhaodi's marriage. They are all sisters, and we can't treat one more favorably than another.

Looking at those things, Pan Hemei was also amazed.

I'm happy for Zhu Xiao, let people be more careful, don't bump into it, and watch it in person, let people register and check it in the warehouse, do everything by myself, no different from my own mother.

These things will be used as Zhu Xiao's dowry in the future. Pan Hemei knew that he should not be careless, so he went to Zhu Xiao to discuss, "Call Huang Momo and Wang Momo back, they are away all year round, they are good at these things, things have to be seen Hold tight, don't lose it!"

"I'll listen to my mother!" Zhu Xiao reached out to hold Pan Hemei's arm, "Mother, you are so kind!"

When Pan Hemei heard this, her eyes flushed slightly.

It took a long time before he softly said, "Silly girl!"

Not my own, but my own.

Pan Hemei thinks that it is rare for her to be as happy as her stepmother.

For this reason, it is better for a few children.

The conversation with Zhu Erlang's side was also very smooth, the shop was not too expensive, and it was cleaned up. He went to see it, and it was very suitable for selling braised pork.

Although he has to go to Beicheng every day to pull stewed pork, but he can make money, and he doesn't mind running back and forth.

Although Xiaoba is young, he is an old fritter, and his words and deeds are becoming more and more watertight. Zhu Erlang wants to cooperate with Xiaoba, but Xiaoba said that he only cares about the stewed meat, and even the shop is left to others Come and do it.

He was in charge of the stewed meat business, and Axiu was in charge of the stewed meat people, preventing them from being lazy and cutting corners.

Two people, one inside and one outside, cooperate very well.

Axiu has also been reading and reading recently, and Xiaoba already knows a few, and from time to time she also acts as Axiu's husband.

Some feelings may not be there at the beginning, but they will gradually sprout, break out of the ground, and thrive.

The news that Zhu Xiao was married to His Royal Highness Yi Wang also spread quickly.

It was just a guess in the past, but today it is completely confirmed. Looking at the rewards in the palace, a long queue arrived at the Zhu Mansion in the west of the city. There were also many people waiting outside the Zhu Mansion. I learned that the second girl in the mansion was married to His Royal Highness Yi Wang. Only then did I understand why Qingzhong Prince's Mansion, but Qing Zhonghou Mansion came to apologize so bluntly. It turned out that they couldn't offend the future Princess Yi, nor could they offend His Royal Highness Yi Wang.

He looks down on the Qingzhonghou Mansion even more.

It's all about bullying and fearing the hard, what's worth looking up to.

If they bullied the common people, would they come to apologize?I really think too much.

After Zhu Erlang heard the news, he couldn't help laughing, and made it clear to the shopkeeper that his daughter was married to His Royal Highness Yiwang, so he had to go home quickly. After being surprised, the shopkeeper hurriedly congratulated and said that he would come to Zhu's mansion for a wedding banquet.

Zhu Erlang quickly responded and rushed home in a hurry.

I was really happy in my heart, and the big stone fell down.

He didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that Xun Muyang would always abandon him in chaos and end up abandoning his daughter.

Now that it's all over, the emperor bestowed a marriage, and the marriage will be finalized.

He can also safely take Zhaodi back to Yuelin County to marry Chu Zhengrong.

After arriving home, the concierge began to say, "Congratulations, master, congratulations, master!"

"Okay, did Madam give you any money?" Zhu Erlang asked.

"Madam said, the money will be doubled this month, and one person will make a set of clothes!" said the porter happily.

The lady in the family has become Princess Yi, and she will be able to straighten her waist when she goes out in the future.

"Well, that's good!"

Zhu Erlang responded and immediately went to find Zhu Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao..." Zhu Erlang was a little anxious, and was almost tripped by the threshold at the door.

"Father, slow down!" Zhu Xiao said softly.

Pan Hemei covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm afraid your father won't be able to slow down now. Okay, let's talk, father and daughter, I'll go and see Qiyou first!"

Laughing out of the room.

The father and daughter looked at each other, but Zhu Erlang cried out, "Woooo!"

"Father?" Zhu Xiao called softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just so happy, I couldn't hold back for a while!" Zhu Erlang smiled, raising his hand to wipe away his tears.

I feel happy outside, but when I come home, I feel reluctant to think that my daughter will become someone else's wife.

Zhu Erlang also looked down on himself a little bit, a man who was almost forty, and cried because his daughter was getting married.

These three daughters will have to cry three times in the future, shame, shame.

Zhu Xiao didn't say much, poured a cup of tea for Zhu Erlang, and held it in front of Zhu Erlang with both hands, "Father, drink a cup of tea to change your mood!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Erlang took it, sipped it shallowly, and couldn't help but said, "I heard that the emperor has bestowed marriage, and also rewarded many things?"

"Well, there are a lot of rewards, and the empresses of the palaces have also rewarded them!"

"Okay, okay, you put it all away, and it's time to make the dowry!" Zhu Erlang sighed with emotion.

Seeing that Zhu Xiao was about to speak, he stopped.

Knowing what Zhu Xiao wanted to say, she put down the teacup, reached out to touch Zhu Xiao's head, and couldn't help but feel her nose a little sore, "Father and mother should have worried about you, but father is useless. Take good care of you, now I can't catch up with your pace even if I work hard, it's just a little, dad will work hard, work hard, don't feel sorry for the three sisters, you have the most dowry, but you have to know, these dowry It wasn't from your father, it was given to you by the emperor, and it was given to you by His Royal Highness Yi Wang. It has nothing to do with your father. You know how to recruit, and so do flowers. You and your mother still have 10,000+ taels of silver in their hands. It was what you gave earlier, and the income from Yuelin County shop and Zhuangzi this year, Dad plans to divide it into two shares, half for you and half for Zhaodi!"

"Father..." Zhu Xiao called softly.

"Xiao Xiao, you are daddy's daughter, and Zhaodi is also daddy's daughter. Dad wants to give you the best, but his ability is limited, so he can only give so much. Hua'er is still young. When she gets married, dad will save up more money." Money, I may have to give her more at that time!"

Zhu Xiao nodded, "Yes!"

"All these years, you have been running and taking care of the big and small families, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Erlang said again.

"It's not hard, I'm willing!"

Is really willing.

From rejection, to acceptance, to integrating myself into this family now.

She is no longer a wandering soul, she is Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Erlang couldn't help recalling the past hardships again, thinking of the good life today, he couldn't help grinning silly.

Leaving from Zhu Xiao, I went to Zhu Zhaodi's yard in person.

"Father!" Zhu Zhaodi called softly.

I also know why Zhu Erlang came.

Before Zhu Erlang could speak, Zhu Zhaodi spoke first, "Father, I know what you want to say, don't worry, I won't be jealous, and I won't be jealous. Xiaoxiao is married to love, and so am I. As for the dowry, you I will take as much as I give, and I will not compare with Xiaoxiao. She married into the royal family, and those things are rewards from the emperor, which are different from those given by my father. I also believe that my father will not wrong me, so I will not envy!"

Envy?
It's also a bit envious.

I envy Zhu Xiao who hasn't married yet, the most powerful father-in-law in the world values ​​her so much.

But Zhu Zhaodi also firmly believes that marrying into the Chu family is still enviable.

After all, the man she married was unique in the world, he was also a great talent, and he was sincere to her.

Even if this heart has other calculations, but she doesn't care, if it is not even useful, then it is of no value, and there is no need to be liked.

Zhu Erlang looked at Zhu Zhaodi.

"Zhaodi, you have been sensible since you were a child, and you have never let dad worry about you these years. You are a good boy, and you will be happy in the future!"

He will also work hard to become her reliance.

Her natal family is strong, and she can only stand upright in her husband's family.

"Well, we'll all be happy!"

They will all be happy.

It's just that Zhu Xiao and the others didn't expect that not long after the marriage decree came, the family began to receive congratulatory gifts.

All civil and military officials sent butlers to bring gifts, and the carriages at the door could hardly stop.

Zhu Erlang hurried over again and asked, "Xiao Xiao, do you accept it?"

Zhu Xiao frowned.

Qi Hao has already returned, "Your Highness said, since you are here to give a gift, let the girl accept it, and when the time comes, write down who gave it to you, and just give it whatever you want!"

"Father, go out and collect it!"

These people came to deliver things as fakes, and they came to see what His Royal Highness Yi Wang's father-in-law looked like, and told his master when he went back, so as not to meet and not know each other in the future, and make troubles like Qingzhonghou's mansion again, the gain outweighs the loss.

They all entered the hall one by one, said congratulations, and then reported who their master was, paid homage to them, left their things and left.

Zhu Erlang took it with a smile, handed it over to the people around him, and took the same ones in the backyard. Pan Hemei was also very busy, so people should be careful, handle them with care, and don't break them. Fortunately, there are posts attached. The same was sent by someone.

Just wait until the time to register.

The house was so busy that Zhu Erlang's smiling face froze in front of him.

Fortunately, the people who gave gifts all put down their gifts, said a few words, and left. They didn’t know each other anyway, so Zhu Erlang just laughed, accepted them one by one, and then sent them to the inner courtyard. For the first time, he felt that receiving gifts was a hard work.

When it was dark, Zhu Erlang sat on a chair and drank several bowls of tea.

"My throat is full of smoke!" Zhu Erlang exhaled softly.

It's really smoke in the throat.

He never thought that so many people would come.

"You should go and have a look. There are several yards piled up. There are all kinds of things. I don't know if they are valuable or not. Anyway, they should be piled up first, and then they will be sorted out. They will be registered and compiled. When Xiaoxiao gets married, they will all be made for Xiaoxiao. Dowry!" Pan Hemei also said a few words weakly.

Also have a sore throat.

"Then will it still be charged tomorrow?" Zhu Erlang asked.

"Let's not accept it tomorrow. They say that you can't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. These people give you some gifts today, and they may take them back twice as much tomorrow. You know what skills you have. Why do these people give you money?" I also know that on the first day, all the dignitaries gave it away, and we also accepted it, so it's almost enough!"

"Then we won't open the gate tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

The two couples discussed it, and Pan Hemei remembered Zhu Xiaoxiao's words, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoxiao asked me to give this to you, saying that it has something to do with your life experience!"

"..."

Zhu Erlang was taken aback.

He looked at the things Pan Hemei handed over in astonishment.

"Where did it come from?"

"It's always in the brocade box that Xiaoxiao gave you, the little novel, after you read it, if you want to know, go to her, and she will tell you in detail!"

Zhu Erlang was stunned for a long time, "I never thought that Xiaoxiao is still thinking about this matter. Is she afraid that I will be disappointed, so she never said that I still have these things?"

"She wants to search for you first, and then tell you when she finds it. You have a good daughter!"

"Yeah, I have a good daughter!" Zhu Erlang covered his face and cried bitterly, "When I was kicked out, I actually seemed to know where I came from? Where is my family? But later, gradually, this thought faded, and Don't think about it anymore, after marrying you and having blessings, I don't think about it at all, I just want to work hard to make money so that your mothers can live a good life and become the support of several daughters. Give me two children, don't let them live the life of three daughters, just..."

Zhu Erlang cried a few times, "I'm still happy to get this news all of a sudden, but I don't know why, I don't want to go back and recognize my relatives at all!"

"Afraid they will post it and become blood-sucking leeches?" Pan Hemei said.

Wipe Zhu Erlang's face with a handkerchief, "How old are you, you are still crying, and if your three daughters know about it, you must not laugh at you!"

Zhu Erlang smiled helplessly, and continued, "It's not because I'm afraid they will post it, but because of the feeling that I just don't want to go back, and I always feel empty in my heart, and it feels weird!"

"I don't know what to say, you go and ask Xiaoxiao first, and discuss with Xiaoxiao if you recognize her or not. She has a lot of knowledge and knows more than me. After all, this is a big deal, and it concerns your whole life!" Pan Hemei soft voice.

Kissed Zhu Erlang, "No matter what decision you make, we will support you. I am, and so are the children. Do you recognize that you are my husband, the father of three daughters and Qiyou. Their surname is Zhu, and I am It's Ju Pan's, these will never change!"
