Chapter 120 Her mother is still alive

Jian Zheng suspected that he heard wrongly.

But when he saw the two characters "Lu Yuan" on the marriage certificate, he knew that the Governor was not joking with him. This traitorous minister who was angry with both men and gods was really getting married.

I don't know which girl is so unlucky. Unfortunately, the marriage certificate was covered by the governor's hand, and he could only see the governor's name.

He suppressed the shock and curiosity surging in his heart, pretended to be calm and asked: "May I ask the Grand Governor, where is the wedding of the Emperor and Empress?"

Lu Yuanfeng said calmly: "You can just pick another day."

Jian Zheng: Even the emperor and empress dare to steal the auspicious day of the zodiac. You traitor, don’t be too arrogant!

Lu Yuan looked at him casually: "Huh?"

The supervisor bowed his hands and said, "I would like to congratulate the Governor on his wedding in advance!"

Lu Yuan picked up the marriage certificate again, opened it and said lightly: "Remember to come for the wedding banquet."

Jian Zheng's calf trembled.

As soon as Jian Zheng left, Lu Yuan recalled Shangguan Ling.

"What are the orders from the Grand Governor?" Shangguan Ling entered the room panting.

Lu Yuan said: "Go and tell Meng Xiaojiu that the wedding date has been set."

Shangguan Ling looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief: "Grand Governor, my subordinates are killing people."

Lu Yuan: "So?"

So I was on a mission, and you called me back just to give you a message?

Are all the people in the Dudu Mansion dead? Yu Zichuan was sitting on the roof polishing arrows. He took time out to fly. Didn't you see that?

"Do you have any objections?"

"I don't dare! I will go to Feng Shui Alley now."

Then who, you are lucky today, I will let you live one more day.

Shangguan Ling went to Feng Shui Hutong.

Tan'er was playing on the swing: "Playing with a knife, here comes the reverse!"

Meng Tianlan had just been punished by his seventh uncle, and he was squatting on the ground like a peasant with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Hearing Tan'er's words, he looked at Shangguan Ling depressedly: "Showing with a knife? Show me how to do it?"

Shangguan Ling: "..."

Meng Tianlan didn't see Shangguan Ling yesterday, and she really thought that Shangguan Ling was a juggler, thinking that all the jugglers in the capital were so particular and dressed in weird and stylish outfits.

Shangguan Ling pulled out the Xiuchundao and pointed it at Meng Tianlan murderously: "You want to die..."

Tan'er: "He is my sister's uncle Di San."

Shangguan Ling swung the knife into the air very smoothly: "Forty-eight postures, or sixty-nine postures?"

Meng Tianlan said: "Come and take a look. If you like it, I will give you a reward."

Shangguan Ling's mouth twitched, and he endured the humiliation and finished the one hundred and seventeen moves he had made up right now.

"It's okay." Meng Tianlan commented, "It looks like a real skill."

Shangguan Ling: My sword is for killing people. One sword at a time. Isn’t that the real sword?

Meng Tianlan thought for a while and asked, "Where are you from? From now on, I will follow you, and I will ensure that you are well-fed and drunk."

Tan'er pointed her toes to the ground and stopped the swing: "Uncle Third, I might not be able to afford him!"

Meng Tianlan stood up and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong? Is he worth a lot? Are there people in the world that my Meng family can't afford?"

Tan'er said vividly: "He is a confidant of the Grand Governor, a third-rank official in the imperial court, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards!"

thump!

Meng Tianlan knelt down!

Aunt Li had a strong opinion against Lu Yuan, but first the highest-ranking minister of the Dudu Mansion personally came to recruit her, and then the commander of the third-rank Jinyi Guard ran errands to inform her of the wedding date, which could be said to be a great honor to her young lady.

No matter how strong the anger was, half of it was gone.

It's just that the wedding date seemed too hasty to her.

Meng Qianqian didn't have any objections. Anyway, she was just dealing with both families. It made no difference whether she got married early or late. Besides, Lu Yuan was not only worried that his mother would come to the capital to force him to marry a Miao woman, but she was also worried that someone from the Meng family would come to take her back. .

It would be a long night and many dreams. Get married early and have peace of mind.

On the other side, the Yao family also came to discuss Lin Wan'er's marriage.

Originally, when Lin Wan'er was adopted as the adopted daughter by the Wen family, Concubine Li personally promised that His Majesty would marry her to Lu Lingxiao.

But no one announced the order, and the Yao family came directly to the door.

The Yao family never mentioned the imperial edict, but the old lady asked if His Majesty had granted the marriage, and the steward of the Yao family said that His Majesty was busy with state affairs and went back.

Concubine Li really wanted to get married at the beginning, so as to show her importance to Lin Wan'er, but who would have thought that Meng Qianqian was actually Meng Xiaojiu. Concubine Li wanted both, and Lin Wan'er was pregnant, so the marriage ran away. It won’t fall, but Meng Qianqian hasn’t gotten it yet, so she has to coax her into it.

So the imperial decree just ended.

The old lady had a long face.

The Lu family had been greatly embarrassed a while ago, and they were thinking of regaining some status through this marriage, but they didn't know that the honor of the imperial edict was gone.

The second lady pulled the old lady's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, it's good that the marriage is still going on. The daughter of the Duke's family is here."

The old lady was right. No matter what happened, Lin Wan'er would get married as the daughter of the Duke's family.

The old lady asked again: "Why don't you see Manager Li?"

Manager Qian smiled and said, "The manager has something to do. The house is too busy and he can't get away."

Only a small steward was allowed to come over, which made the old lady feel unhappy again.

Manager Qian pretended not to see her dissatisfaction and continued to say with a smile: "The Duke's wife means to get married as soon as possible. Miss Wan'er will enter the mansion two days in advance and will get married from the Duke's mansion."

The old lady asked in confusion: "I only entered the house two days early? Why don't you pick me up now?"

Lin Wan'er sat behind the screen, listening to the conversation outside, and clutched the sleeves in her hands.

Manager Qian continued: "Madam is also worried that Miss Wan'er won't be used to living there. Don't worry, Mrs. Lu. The wedding dress, the bride's sedan chair...all the wedding matters will be prepared by the Duke's Mansion, and Miss Wan'er will be sure to be a good person." Just get married. As for the bride price and dowry, Madam said, the Lu family is having a hard time now, so just keep them simple."

What he said before was still the same, but what did he say in the end?

Simple? Not only should the betrothal gifts be kept simple, but the dowry should also be kept simple? The implication is that the Duke's government does not want to give a dowry!

How did she say that Concubine Li would take the lead in arranging beauties for Lin Wan'er? When Lu Lingxiao married Meng Qianqian, even though she didn't give any gifts, Meng Qianqian brought a dowry of more than 100,000 taels to Beijing!

The old lady didn't accept it and slapped the table: "Is this how your Duke's government marries his daughter?"

Manager Qian's smile faded a bit: "We are also thinking about the Lu family. Since ancient times, a woman's dowry has been based on the man's betrothal gift. If the Lu family can afford it, no matter how much the Lu family can afford, our government can also afford it! "

The old lady was furious: "You-"

Manager Qian smiled lightly and said: "If you are not satisfied with this marriage, when Miss Wan'er's child is born, it will be recorded in the genealogy of our Duke's Palace, and our Duke's Palace will raise it ourselves!"

That won't work! The old lady cannot let her precious great-grandson become someone else’s!

"Mom, don't be angry. If you have anything to say, say it properly. We are all our own!"

The second lady didn't care whether the Yao family gave her a dowry or not. The old lady was too tight-minded and she couldn't make any money anymore. She might as well use the power of the Duke's Palace to find a future for her two sons who were studying in the Imperial College.

"Has the wedding date been set?"

she asked with a smile.

Manager Qian said pleasantly: "There will be some good days next month, the 16th, 19th, 27th..."

"Next month..." The second lady glanced at Lin Wan'er's growing belly, "Then sixteen, the sooner the better."

Manager Qian smiled and said: "The 16th is the auspicious day for the emperor and empress' wedding. You can choose someone else."

Concubine Li had already secretly asked the people from Qintian Prison to calculate the big day of the sixteenth year.

The second lady was stunned: "Your Majesty is getting married? The Queen is -"

Manager Qian smiled proudly and said, "My second young lady."

Everyone gasped.

The Duke's palace has given birth to a concubine Li, and soon a queen will be born. She really is the concubine Tianhuang.

Even if Lin Wan'er is a descendant of the Twelve Guards, she cannot compete with the emperor and empress for the auspicious day of the zodiac.

After the people from the Duke's Mansion left, Lu Luo muttered dissatisfiedly: "What? The Duke's Mansion clearly treated them differently. Miss Yao had to choose what was left during the day, and she had to pick up the dowry that leaked from between her fingers. I got married in a beautiful scenery, where is the scenery?”

Lin Wan'er said nothing.

The desire was so hard to satisfy that at first she didn't even dare to think about the position of a head wife, but now that she could get her wish, and she had the additional status of being the daughter of a prince, there was a gap.

But she only felt depressed for a short while. She was the legitimate daughter of the Yao family and the emperor's cousin, so it was natural that she could not compare with her.

It was enough that she lived better than Meng Qianqian.

Unfortunately, the Meng family has come to the capital and will take Meng Qianqian back to Youzhou soon. Meng Qianqian cannot be allowed to witness her marriage to Lu Lingxiao.

Feng Shui Alley.

"Miss, is the wedding date too hasty?"

Grandma Li asked.

Meng Qianqian said: "I think it's pretty good."

Tan'er held her cheek with her small fist: "Well, I think it's good! The governor's house is dripping with braised pork, so say goodbye!"

Grandma Li glared at her: "You greedy girl!"

Aunt Li was worried that the date was too close and that she would not be able to do everything carefully and would wrong her young lady.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "I am getting married for the second time, wouldn't it be better to keep a low profile?"

Grandma Li sighed.

Tan'er jumped up to Meng Qianqian and asked excitedly: "Sister, are you going to make a wedding dress tomorrow?"

Customs vary from place to place. In Youzhou, female relatives often embroider their daughters' wedding dresses themselves. Many wealthy families in the capital ask embroiderers to do the work.

Meng Qianqian said: "Guanshi Cen said that he would invite the embroiderer to his home."

The wedding dress was originally the woman's responsibility to worry about, but Manager Cen made all the arrangements.

Tan'er had a resentful face: "But I want to go out for a walk."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Tan'er chuckled: "Sister, it's best to be counter-intuitive!"

Aunt Li looked at her young lady with distress and relief. More than five years ago, her young lady was still a child. She didn't feel like she was getting married at all. She felt like she was adopted into someone else's family as a daughter.

Now that she is tall and graceful, she truly looks like a newlywed.

"If madam knew that young lady is so old..."

"Ahem!"

Meng Tianlan coughed heavily at the door

Nanny Li lowered her eyes to cover up her fleeting panic, stood up and said, "Third Master, Seventh Uncle, and Manager Meng, you are here. Sit down."

The three of them entered the house.

Aunt Li smiled coquettishly and said, "Miss, the grandma next door seems to have fallen down this morning."

"Really? Tan'er, come with me and have a look."

"Got the order!"

Meng Qianqian took Tan'er out of the house.

Meng Tianlan asked: "Mother Li, what happened to you just now?"

Aunt Li said guiltily: "Seeing how old the young lady is, I was stunned for a moment."

The seventh uncle asked strangely: "It's been so many years and you haven't told the third girl yet?"

"How dare you say that?" Meng Tianlan sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was not wine. He put it down in disgust, "The old man won't let me."

Uncle Qi said fairly: "What if the third girl finds out one day? Aren't you afraid that she will blame you?"

Meng Tianlan said earnestly: "It's also for her own good. Besides, I've kept it secret for so many years. Can she accept it if I suddenly tell her that your mother is still alive?"
