Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 204 Preparing for Marriage (Part [-])

With the end of Mu Qingwan's engagement banquet, preparations for the marriage were officially put on the agenda - there is no way, the wedding is too late, there is only less than a month before the wedding, and the dowry is not complete yet - ——Actually, over the years, the Kang family has successively prepared dowries for Mu Qingwan, which are really not small. If they only marry in Yangxing County, these dowries can be called ten miles of red dowry, and they are only what Mu Qing will marry. Well, it's not an ordinary family, but it's Prince Wei's Mansion. How can you afford this dowry alone? If Mu Qingwan makes people laugh because of the lack of dowry, it will be bad if she can't stand in the palace.

On the issue of the dowry, Mu Changguang and the Kang family have no conflict at all, and they agree very much, that is, try your best and give everything you have to make the dowry as rich as possible.For this reason, the old lady Guo took Mu Laosan and Mu Laosi into the city specially, and blamed Mu Changguang. If you give birth to one, they are all sons, and you have to leave the family property. How can you bring them all to your daughter-in-law?My daughter is an outsider!
But Mu Changguang, who has always been foolish and filial, insisted on this issue like never before. Instead of agreeing, he patiently persuaded the old lady and two brothers, telling them that as long as they become relatives with Prince Wei's mansion, they will still worry about it in the future. Prosperity and wealth?
This principle is very simple and easy to understand. The old lady and the others quickly wanted to turn around. Although they still felt uncomfortable seeing Dafang spending a lot of money, they didn't say anything.

In addition to the dowry, who to choose as a dowry is also a big problem. Mu Qingwan is going to be the eldest mistress of Prince Wei's mansion, and the servants she brings along, not to mention saving face for her, at least can't lose face. Therefore, appearance, character, and ability to handle affairs , are all important.

However, there were only a few people in the family. Looking at the roster in his hand, Kang looked at the roster and felt worried: "The three big maids in the west wing must follow, but this is not enough, I heard When a young lady in the capital gets married, there are at least four maids who can enter the inner room, and there are also wet nurses to teach and nurse."

In order to prepare for Mu Qingwan's marriage, Mu Changguang and the Kang family had an unprecedented tacit understanding. They even asked for leave and stayed at home with the Kang family to prepare the dowry list.At this time, there was a pot of hot wine and some delicate dishes in front of him, while eating and drinking, he listened to Kang's worries.Such a day is really pleasant, but it's a pity that there is no young beauty who pours wine for him. Mu Changguang regretted silently for a while, and said to Kang: "If it's really not possible, let Ren Yazi come and buy one to fill up. Wait for Qingwan to marry, and then slowly train her."

"I bought it on a temporary basis, and I don't even know the details, how dare I let her serve in the inner room!" The Kang family was very insistent on this matter.

Mu Changguang didn't know much about the affairs of the inner house, so he didn't refute. He just said: "How can our family compare with the rich and powerful families in the capital? It's normal that the maids are not complete. What do you think should be done?"

"Our family can't compare with those rich and powerful families, but we can't let Qingwan lose face too much. We have to have what they have." After preparing for marriage during this period, the Kang family has been very aware of Mu Changguang's attitude, so Speaking of this, I am full of confidence.

"That's natural, Qingwan lost face, that means our Mu family lost face, and even the whole Yangxing County lost face. Didn't the magistrate of Liang County specially ask Aunt Tan to come to the house to deliver the message, saying that if there is an urgent need at home? Just ask them to help." Mu Changguang really supported her idea, and said, "Why don't you ask Aunt Tan for help?"

Mrs. Kang remembered that Aunt Qin and Shi Tianci had lied to them and wanted to coax Mu Qingwan into becoming Shi Tianci's concubine. She was angry for a while, and said: "The master was in prison earlier, and some things were wrong. I know, if our family didn't feel sorry for Qing Wan and would not let her be a concubine, she would probably be the aunt of Shi Tianci's family by now."

"What?!" Mu Changguang has been worrying about Mu Qingwan's marriage since he returned home. He had never heard of these things before, so he was shocked.

Taking the opportunity, the Kang family told Mu Changguang all about the situation at that time.

After hearing this, Mu Changguang didn't quite believe it, and said, "According to what you said, Shi Tianci robbed Qingwan from Prince Wei's Mansion? If so, wouldn't he have offended Prince Wei's Mansion? But I think he and Prince Wei's mansion Liu Da and Liu Er are very close? He came to me today, saying that he wanted to marry Qinglian as soon as possible, because he was going to the capital with Liu Da and Liu Er."

Kang also couldn't figure out this problem, so he couldn't produce evidence to convince Mu Changguang, so he had to change his mind and said: "No matter how capable Aunt Qin is, she is just an aunt, and she can't stand on the stage after all. Maid, how can you use it for Qingwan, we, Qingwan, want to be married."

It's true, the main wife and concubine are very different, don't look at Aunt Tan's appointment with Liang Zhixian, but even the main wife of the officials' family, they don't bother to deal with her.Mu Changguang felt that what Kang said was reasonable, so he couldn't help feeling worried: "What should I do? I could go to the Bai family to borrow someone, but Bai Caiban ignored me while I was in prison. I'm too lazy to deal with them." When he becomes the in-law of Prince Wei's mansion, is he afraid that no one will take care of him?There is no need to deal with the Bai family anymore.

Kang thought about it, and suddenly had a good idea: "How about going to my elder brother's house and asking my sister-in-law to borrow someone?"

Oops, great idea!The Kang family is strict in running the family, and the character of the servants must be fine. Of course, this is definitely not the key point. The key point is that Kang Bohui is already a new imperial examination candidate, and he might be able to come back from the examination next year. Even if people find out, they will never lose face.Mu Changguang nodded again and again, smiling heartily: "You have a good idea, let's do it like this."

Mu Changguang's affirmation of the Kang family is equivalent to his affirmation of the Kang family, so the Kang family was also very happy to see him nodding, and immediately put the roster aside, and said: "Then I should take Qing Wan back to her mother's house right now." First, let her talk to Jiumei, so it will be difficult to see each other in the future; second, this is picking a maid for her after all, so she must first catch her eye."

But Mu Changguang stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, what do you think about the Qinglian incident I told you just now? Tianci said that when Liu Da and Liu Er returned to the capital, he wanted to take his family with him. The mouth followed, so I wanted to marry Qinglian in advance."
