The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 185 Extra Story: Tuan Tuan 8
In order to prevent Concubine Li from grabbing this matter, the queen directly told about Zhao Xuan and Tuantuan.

Except for the crown princess, the emperor had seriously considered which minister's daughter to choose, and the other sons chose the prince and concubine after their mothers had chosen and told the emperor, and then the emperor made an order.

When it came to Zhao Xuan, this matter should have been like this, but the queen brought it up at this time.

"Is this Song Zhuoya's status too low? After all, Xuan'er is our legitimate son."

It's not surprising that the emperor would say this, Wen Bao's family is really inconspicuous, the reason why the emperor would ask is because Zhao Xuan is the son of the main palace.

"No low, the emperor doesn't know the situation of her family."

The queen was very glad that Princess Jingrong came to tell her about this, otherwise she would not be able to say so carefully.

After the empress talked about the situation of Tuantuan's family, especially after she revealed in words that she liked this daughter-in-law very much, the emperor pondered for a while, and seeing that the empress really wanted this daughter-in-law sincerely, he agreed.

In fact, the emperor still has his own thoughts, the blood of his Zhao family is too thin, there are only six sons with so many women in his harem, and only four of these six sons survived to the weak crown.

Hearing that there are so many brothers in the Tuantuan family, even though they are cousins, this also proves that her family can have children, so for the sake of the Zhao family's blood, he agreed to the matter.

Zhao Xuan and Tuan Tuan, who were still in the Northwest Army, still didn't know that the imperial decree for their marriage had been issued in the capital. In order to support Tuan Tuan's status, the emperor even discussed with the queen to give Wen Bao an official position.

The excuse she used was that she took the lead in donating things to the Northwest Army this time.

The girls who originally thought about becoming the fourth prince concubine didn't know so many inside stories. They only saw that Tuantuan Niang donated things to the Northwest Army and made her daughter Princess Rui. They were moved.

Wen Bao and the others were not the only rich people, and they also inquired about the things donated to the Northwest Army, and they didn't need to spend much money.

As a result, starting from the capital, there has been an upsurge of donating things to the Northwest Army from all over the country.

In this upsurge, Wen Bao and the others in Songjia Village received the imperial decree of marriage.

"With this decree, what we have done in Tuantuan can be regarded as having a result."

Song Dalang happily held an imperial decree, and the officials who came to read out the imperial decree told them that Zhao Xuande was granted the title of King Rui of the first rank, and that his fief was in the next three counties in order to please Princess Rui's natal family.

Zhao Xuan is the son of the main palace, and I don't know if the emperor finally came to his senses when he was old, or the queen contributed here. The other princes' fiefdoms only have two counties, but Zhao Xuan has three counties.

Even with the title, he was also given the word Rui.

Originally, according to Zhao Xuan's credit and status, he should be a first-rank prince, but the emperor considered that the prince would reward his brothers after he ascended the throne, so he had to wrong another son.

Even when the prince learned that his younger brother had chosen such a concubine, he was also moved to discuss with the princess what to compensate his younger brother in private.

"Although it's not our Nanning county, the address of the palace chosen by the emperor is in the next county. It can be reached by riding a horse in one day, which is actually not too far away."

Song Dalang peeked at Wen Bao while talking, fearing that she would get angry.

In other people's homes, fathers are reluctant to part with their daughters, but when they come to their homes, they become mothers who are reluctant to let their daughters marry.

"Our Tuantuan is only 15 years old, and we will only be 16 next spring, which is too young."

Wen Bao was really reluctant to part with her daughter. She always wanted to be engaged to Tuantuan at the age of 16 and marry her at the age of 17, so that she would have time to have children and be safer.

However, the wedding date selected in the edict of bestowing marriage this time is the beginning of spring next year, and Tuantuan will only be 16 years old next year. It is very likely that her Tuantuan will be able to have a child next year.

"It's not too young. When you married me, you were only this old."

Song Dalang just said something casually, who knew that Wen Bao, who was in a particularly bad mood because he was about to marry his daughter, became completely popular because of his words.

"It's not small, it's not small. Our group is only that big, and we've been married so far away. We don't come to the fief until we get married in the capital. It's so far away. I don't even want to send her out."

Among the three children, Tuantuan Wen Bao is the most attentive.

Not only because Tuantuan is the first child, but also because this child is the most like her, she suffered with them when she was a child, Wen Bao felt very uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Mother, it's not that our family doesn't have a shop and a mansion in the capital, it's just that our family has kept a low profile these years, and now that my sister is about to become a princess, do we need to increase the dowry so that my sister can't be inferior to other princesses?"

Although Pangpang is not as smart as Tuantuan and Benben, since Benben showed his interest in reading, Wen Bao devoted all his efforts to teaching him how to do business.

Over the past few years, Pang Pang followed Wen Bao in managing the family business, and he knew the family business very well.

"Yes, brother is right. Mother, I will take the imperial examination in the future. I will give my sister the shops and land in my hand. After all, I am still young, so I can save slowly."

Benben also opened his mouth, the two of them rushed home as soon as they heard about this in the academy, their own family knew about their own family affairs, and others envied his family to have such a happy event, so his mother might not know why to be angry.

"Younger brother is right, mother, my younger brother and I will take out half of the shops and land in our hands. You don't need to take all of it. We keep the business in the open and give it to my sister in the dark."

As soon as Fatty finished speaking, he began to think about how much dowry he could prepare for his sister Tuantuan.

Benben didn't know how much business there was at home, and when he heard what his brother said, he didn't refuse.

"Well, the family business was originally divided into four parts, one for each of you siblings, and one for me and your father. Now, let's give your sister the shops and fields in the capital city and the fiefdom of King Rui.

There are also gold and silver jewelry, etc., which must also be prepared.Although there are scholars in our family, everyone knows that our family is a merchant. In order not to embarrass your sister, some calligraphy and paintings of this celebrity should be included in the dowry. "

Although Wen Bao felt uncomfortable, Jing Rong wrote her a letter telling her that Zhao Xuan didn't have a single house now, so she was quite satisfied with Zhao Xuan.

What's more, the Northwest Army also sent a letter back, and knowing that Zhao Xuan listened to her family, she was satisfied with the marriage.

She was sad just now, and her heart felt bad for a while, but when it came to preparing the dowry for Tuantuan, she was more active than anyone else.

When other in-laws found out about this, they immediately came to Wen Bao to discuss what to add to Tuantuan's dowry.

Wu Houye was the most generous. The Wu family's business in the capital and those three counties had to be given to Tuantuan, but Wen Bao refused.

"Cousin, I know you love Tuantuan, but you don't have to give it all. You give her [-]% of each store, so that your store can grow bigger with King Rui supporting you."

Wen Bao was telling the truth.

She agreed with her sons to distribute the family property to Tuantuan because the family property was originally divided among the three of them.

But the Wu family is different.

Her cousin and sister-in-law have a total of four sons, and now the four sons are not married, and when they get married in the future, there may be some conflicts.

"In this way, give Tuantuan [-]%, and I will prepare some gold and silver for her in private, and you don't want to argue with me. Now that our family has a Concubine Rui like Tuantuan, there must be many people who will fawn on us in the future.

Although our family will not do bad things, but with such an identity, the business will be much easier after all, and this is what Tuantuan deserves. "

Wu Houye has become much more stable over the years, he speaks the truth, and after hearing what he said, Wen Bao also began to think about setting rules for the family.

Wu Houye was just one of them. Tuantuan also had four uncles and so many cousins. Everyone prepared a dowry for Tuantuan.

And Mrs. Wu, her dowry has a lot of good things. In addition to preparing one for each daughter-in-law, daughter, and grandson-in-law, that is, one for each grandson who has not yet married, she directly divides half of the rest. To Tuantuan.

The juniors didn't know until Mrs. Wu brought out her dowry slip that she had so many good things.

"Let's be clear first, the four daughter-in-laws and Bao'er in the family, each chooses one, and the granddaughter-in-law also chooses one each. The unmarried grandson chooses one and leaves it to your daughter-in-law. The rest, Tuantuan and Ajiu half each."

The Wu family has been in business for many years. The good thing is that when she got married, her parents emptied half of the Wu family's property, as well as her mother's dowry.

With so many things accumulated up to now, gold and silver are no longer the most valuable. What are valuable are some rare copies and precious porcelain and jade.

Wen Bao originally didn't want her mother's dowry, but Wu said that her dowry should have been given to her daughter and granddaughter, and she gave it directly to her granddaughter, which is also true.

It is a custom in Nanning County for the mother to leave the dowry to her daughter, and the Wu family insisted, so in the end it was sorted out, and the dowry of Tuantuan was a full 98 lifts.

The emperor and the queen will also give 120 levies, and when Tuantuan gets married, relatives and friends will have to add dowry. With this calculation, there must be a dowry of [-] [-] levies.

"I don't know if my sister knows that we have prepared so much dowry for her."

Pangpang and Benben are arranging the dowry, and while arranging, they miss Tuantuan far away in the northwest.

"I can definitely guess it, but it's already winter, and I don't know if my sister is doing well in the northwest."

Tuantuan has some troubles in the northwest.

Ever since receiving King Zhao Xuancheng Rui, the fief is in the three counties next to Nanning County, and the emperor bestowed marriage on them, both of them have been very good.

Although Tuantuan spent the winter in such a cold Northwest for the first time, her heart was warm.

But because of the winter, the war has become anxious, and the second batch of supplies from Songjia Village has also arrived, along with [-] college students. As soon as they arrived, she began to feel irritable.

The 40 people who came successively were girls who were sold in those years. Some of them stayed in the college as teachers after graduation, and more of them were young girls who worked everywhere to save money silver.

Because there are so many big girls here again, the men in the military camp seem to have hope, especially the men in their twenties who have not yet married, wishing to win the heart of a girl today, marry back and have children tomorrow.

"This matter really needs to be resolved."
