Chapter 103
Mian Tang slapped the table, and the brothers naturally didn't dare to say anything, but when they looked at them, they seemed to think that Lu Yi's proposal was not bad. It's a pity that the boss was blinded by the male sex, and mistakenly thought that sleeping with the tiger was happiness.
Miantang calmed down and knew that it would take some time for these gangsters to change their brains. He only carefully told them what they would do next, and then he left the official office.
When she came out, she saw Cui Xingzhou telling the county magistrate to ask the county magistrate. Seeing that she came out, she came over and asked, "How?"
Miantang pursed his lips and whispered: "It's indeed my brother Liu Zhanpeng."
Cui Xingzhou saw that Liu Miantang's face was wrong. He had no joy in reunion with his relatives. He thought of the arrogant look of Liu Zhanpeng whom the county magistrate had just been with him. He said, "Go back home first."
Back at the palace, Miantang changed his clothes and lay down and rested for a while. Then he said to Cui Xingzhou who was drinking tea: "My brother's affairs can be left to me to deal with with the full power..."
Liu Zhanpeng fled privately. If he had passed the government, he would inevitably make him publicize his relationship with him. He would then smear the Huaiyang Palace. It would be better to let her deal with it. After all, she would be embarrassed to trouble the prince with such an older brother.
In fact, Cui Xingzhou thought these were all trivial matters. He would not look down on Miantang because he had such a brother, so he slowly said, "You are you, he is him, Longsheng nine sons, each with different. In other words, compared with those of my past gangs, your brother is quite a personal look. You don't have to worry too much, I'll deal with these trivial matters."
Miantang was amused by him, and then he thought of the inexplicable fall of the concubines of the Huaiyang Palace, and immediately understood Cui Xingzhou's meaning. No matter what, although Liu Zhanpeng was doing everything he wanted, he did not murder the sisters in his family, which was indeed a good idea.
However, no matter how bad he pulled out a big man, he was not a good person. Moreover, it was better for him to deal with this matter than the official family, so Miantang still insisted on his own ideas and let her deal with it.
When Cui Xingzhou heard her method safely, he nodded: "Since you have already thought about it, I will let the county magistrate cooperate with you with all his strength."
Miantang was slightly relieved, but before the heart that had just been relieved had fallen, Cui Xingzhou asked inadvertently: "Your shopkeepers are quite clever. I heard that they still have skills to work in our army?"
Mian Tang smiled very sweetly: "I plan to open an escort agency in Lingquan Town. I finally found a few qualified ones and prepared to train them as escorts. The prince has a lot of talents, so these are not bad..."
Cui Xingzhou looked up at her and said lightly: "They have they found out the background details?"
Miantang turned over and lay down, and said with his back to him, "But they are all ordinary people, there is nothing to check. The people in my own shop are all good, there are not so many things... I am so tired and want to sleep for a while."
Cui Xingzhou didn't ask again, but just covered her with a quilt and walked out.
Miantang hid in the quilt and gasped, and I wonder if she was living so nervously on Yangshan before.
Miantang yawned and felt that after being frightened, he really needed to sleep well to calm down. He thought he was full of thoughts, but he might not be able to sleep for a while, but he fell asleep soon.
I missed lunch when I slept. The reunion dinner on the second day of my wedding even went to the fifth master who had always lived in seclusion, but I just didn't want the newlyweds to sleep.
When Miantang got up, she was anxious with Mom Li while washing her face: "Maids are ignorant, why don't you call me?"
Before Li's mother could speak, Cui Xingzhou said, "I don't let her call you. You eat late in the morning and just sleep a little longer. You have the chance to have a meal with the family. What's the difference this time?"
Miantang felt that he was careless and didn't look like a prince, so he turned his head and asked Li's mother: "Who taught the prince's rules? Why are he so unruly?"
Mother Li felt that the answer to this question was a bit hot, so she just pretended that her ears were not working, and interrupted: "Princess, the kitchen stewed two soups for you, one for stewed sweet chestnuts with black chicken and the other for fish soup. Which one do you want to drink?"
Seeing that Miantang was really annoyed, Cui Xingzhou came over to pat her on the back: "My mother won't talk about you, why are you anxious?"
Mian Tang sighed: "Isn't there any sister-in-law there? Seeing her this morning, she is a man who cares about the rules. She can't stay in the mansion for a few days, and I don't want to give her the impression of being lazy. Otherwise, if she returns to her in-laws' house, wouldn't she be worried that I have not respected my good mother?"
Cui Xingzhou will never experience the nervousness of a new wife in this life, especially those who act recklessly and decisively, who will have such a thought.
It can be seen that she always yelled to regret marrying, but she also wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Cui family from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel warm, kissing her tender tofu-like cheeks and said, "I know that my wife is virtuous and filial. My sister is a stingy and sarcastic person. Don't look powerful, sooner or later I know that you are good."
Miantang smiled again by his kiss, reached out to block his waist, but said a little melancholy: "Maybe... I am not as good as you think..."
When it was time for dinner, Cui Xingzhou wanted to go to the military camp to do business, so Liu Miantang was the only one who ate the meal with her mother-in-law and Cui Fu.
Concubine Chu talked about the fact that the fifth brother was going to get married after a few days. This was originally something Miantang should have helped her, but now she is pregnant and it is not easy to work hard, so the Concubine's meaning was that Cui Fu would do it for her and asked Miantang how good she would do it.
Mian Tang smiled: "It's great if you have your sister to help me. I turned around and asked Mom Li to give the warehouse key to her. She saw that she was short of anything and could get it."
Cui Fu thought that this woman, who had finally taken the key from the Zhang family from her mother, would definitely not be willing to give up power. Maybe she would even do her own things regardless of her pregnancy, so as not to let most of the property of the royal family be separated by the newly-entered sister-in-law Lian Lu Lan. Unexpectedly, Liu Miantang gave her the key without even thinking about it.
But when she heard her mother talk about the disaster of the royal mansion a few days ago, she felt that she could not be so happy to let go, and she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "The royal mansion was robbed by a villain before, and I think there is nothing left in the warehouse, so it's useless to give me a key. My mother was so, and I gave me such an errand. I was a good woman and I couldn't cook without rice."
Mian Tang smiled and said, "My sister's concerns are correct, but recently the manor under the royal palace has given tenant silver, and the warehouse is not in space. There are rice, flour, meat and vegetables, and fat pigs, cattle and sheep on the farmhouse. I also told them to prepare them all and use them when the fifth master gets married. As for the bride price, after the Lian family agreed to the marriage, I asked my shopkeeper to help arrange it. There was a ship to buy goods in the shop. When I came back, I chose the most fashionable style in the capital, so that it would be fully equipped. I would never call the fifth master's wedding too shabby and lose the face of our royal palace."
Cui Fu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Liu Miantang had started to arrange things so early, which didn't seem to be perfunctory.
Concubine Chu continued on the side, "He married a concubine, and his appearance cannot be greater than that of Xingzhou! If it weren't for the low marriage of the Lian family, it wouldn't be so troublesome. It's up to see how much Qin can afford, and our Gongzhong will make up for it. But he has a good fortune. He married the girl from the Lian family, and is a serious official daughter. He has to look at how many people are missing. If the Gongzhong is not enough, I'll take some more."
Cui Fu was even more angry after hearing what her mother said: "I heard that Aunt Lian had forbidden from sailing before and came to the mansion. Now Cui Lian's two families are going to marry again, so she has an excuse to come to see the sky. She cares about your mother, you want to have everything. I want to know how much dowry his family has been given, and our family will follow suit."
Although the Lian family's dowry list has not been prepared yet, Cui Fu heard Aunt Lian crying and was poor yesterday, and only said that when she fled, she brought her own gold, silver and fine materials, but when she was arrested, they were gone.
Marrying a daughter is no more than marrying a son, you can give all your family. It depends on whether the bride and mother's dowry is rich, and whether it can help the daughter, otherwise the father's family can still pay a limited amount.
Now Lian Chu is in trouble and can't help her daughter. She just asks Concubine Chu to help her niece, so she should not let her live too poorly with the fifth master in the future.
As for the fifth master's mother, Qin, when she was favored, she did accumulate a lot of property, but later, the fifth master fell ill and spent a lot of medicine to take adults. Now, her monthly money and the fifth master are not quite rich, and she really can't afford much money to get married.
Miantang listened quietly, and smiled slightly and said, "Where is my mother who needs to add money? The prince has discussed it with me. The fifth master's bride price will be paid by the official. If my sister finds that there is something inadequate, I will let my shopkeeper spend some money to turn over."
The implication is that the royal palace is now in difficulty in turning around, so she paid the money for the royal palace.
Cui Fu didn't expect Miantang to be so generous.
Thinking of Aunt Lian’s sorrows these days, she said that Liu Miantang had become her brother’s outer room before the marriage between Lian Ulan and Xingzhou had not yet been terminated, and she had to cheat money from her brother’s hands. She was originally half-believing, but now it seems that it is true. Otherwise, she, a woman with a small door, wouldn’t she have such a generous amount of money in her hands?
She used to be an outdoor room and cheated the money from the royal family. Now she is inverted to make a fortune and is in a noble manner. Thinking of this, Cui Fu couldn't help but snort coldly, and she was really tired of her younger brothers and sisters who are very sensible.
Since the money on the palace is the money, she doesn't have to be polite to Liu Miantang. If there is a shortage, it will be just a matter of it. But such a greedy woman became the mistress of the palace, which really made her feel at ease.
Cui Fu made up her mind and said to Liu Miantang: "In a few days, Xingzhou will go to Beijing to the Ministry of War. Your brother-in-law has also been promoted and will work in the Ministry of Revenue. I told Xingzhou that after entering the capital, the two families live closer and have a care for each other. You are a bride and you must have many things you don't understand when you set up a household. I will check it for you so that you won't make mistakes and get tired of walking."
