Chapter 130 The Marriage Bed

Yu was silent.

The Anyuan Marquis Mansion is already a well-established family in the capital, but the Imperial College official is so big on offering wine, he actually doesn't even give the Marquis Mansion face.

The Yu family is considered a scholarly family in Youzhou, and Yu Li is a very good young talent. Otherwise, the Yu family would not have written to her specifically to ask her to send Yu Li to the Imperial Academy.

This is the second thing that the Yu family has asked her to do in so many years. She refused the first thing, but she handled the second thing well. Who would have thought -

Seeing that she was helpless, Marquis Anyuan comforted her: "Don't be too impatient. This year, let Li'er live in the Marquis Mansion and let Yan'er teach him more. If he takes the exam again next year, the chance will be greater."

Xie Yan is the most talented person in this year's competition, and he has learned a lot. The three princes and the elders are full of praise for him. Ordinary people want to ask him for advice, but they have no chance.

Xie Yan will soon enter the Imperial Academy as an official.

If things hadn't gone wrong this time, Marquis Anyuan wouldn't have asked Xie Yan to teach Yu Li in person.

Seeing Yu's silence, Marquis Anyuan thought she was not satisfied, so he smiled and said, "Do you know how rare this opportunity is? Studying with Tanhua Lang for one year is much better than studying in the Imperial College."

This is not to say that the level of the Imperial College is not high, but that there are too many students in the Imperial College. If you are not a leader, it is difficult to get additional guidance from the masters.

Mrs. Yu sighed: "Li'er refuses to move to the Hou Mansion."

Marquis Anyuan frowned.

Yu said: "He doesn't know that Yan'er can teach him knowledge. I will tell him later that he will definitely be interested if he can learn from Tanhua Lang."

Not to mention a scholar from Youzhou, there are also many young masters from aristocratic families in the capital who want to ask Xie Yan for his knowledge and experience.

She had been away from Beijing for five years and was able to quickly integrate into the circle of ladies when she came back. Xie Yan's name was indispensable.

Meng Qianqian and Yu Li returned to Feng Shui Alley.

When we got home, only Aunt Hu and Mrs. Du were at home.

Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Hey, where is the person?"

Aunt Hu said: "I was picked up by Manager Cen."

Meng Qianqian said nonchalantly: "All?"

What happened was that as soon as Meng Qianqian and Yu Li went to the Shangshu Mansion for a banquet, Manager Cen came to the door and asked Uncle Qi, Meng Tianlan, Uncle Meng, and Grandma Li to count the bride price.

Logically, the betrothal gift should be delivered to the door, but firstly, Meng Qianqian had to hide the fact that she was the bride, so as not to play tricks on the palace man, and secondly, the betrothal gift was too much, and Meng Qianqian's house could not accommodate it.

So the Governor's Office made a big move and purchased a large courtyard in the capital specifically to hold Meng Qianqian's betrothal gifts.

Grandma Li always felt that Lu Yuan was a treacherous and deceitful minister, very shameless.

"What a mother-in-law!"

Aunt Wan came to see the excitement. As soon as she entered the yard, she was dumbfounded and said, "Did I spend all my money to get a wife?"

Uncle?

Manager Cen glanced at Nanny Wan and saw that she had a bright future.

Uncle Meng looked at the list of betrothal gifts in his hand, then at the betrothal gifts that could not be accommodated in the house and were piled in the yard, and rubbed his eyes fiercely.

Meng Tianlan was stunned and said: "Then what... are you sure it was me... who broke the governor's arm, and I compensated Qianqian to him... instead of him breaking my arm... and paying it to himself?"

Seventh Uncle: "Didn't he really have something that fell into the hands of the third girl?"

Meng Tianlan swallowed: "What's the use of the box? Maybe it's empty."

Aunt Wan said: "Empty? Who is so wicked, carrying an empty box to the betrothal? Are you pretending to be a gift? Hahahaha!"

Seeing Aunt Li and others looking at her seriously, she stopped smiling and asked, "Really?"

Isn’t there? This is what the Lu family did back then, being poor and pretending.

On the surface, I hired him with a box, but in fact it was full of worthless stuff, not as valuable as the box.

Grandma Li, Meng Tianlan, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Meng began to unpack and inspect the goods.

In less than a quarter of an hour, several people were blinded by the flash of gold. It wasn't until midnight that the group of people returned to Feng Shui Alley. Their legs were weak and their hands were shaking. Don't ask, just asking for the betrothal gift would make them collapse.

The next day, Nanny Li told Meng Qianqian about the situation of the bride price.

Meng Qianqian said oh, it was just a formality, moving from the Governor's Mansion to the compound, using a different place as a warehouse, and it was still Lu Yuan's own.

Aunt Li said again: "The gift is so heavy, how much do we give as dowry?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I'll give you as much as you have!"

Grandma Li was stunned.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said calmly: "I gave so much dowry to marry Lu Lingxiao. Is it possible that the Governor is not as good as Lu Lingxiao?"

The main reason is that Lu Yuan will not be greedy for her dowry. It is much safer to bring it into the governor's mansion than leaving it outside.

Nanny Li looked at Meng Qianqian without words.

Why does the young lady's behavior not seem forced? Is it possible that the young lady has been deceived by Lu Yuan and is completely devoted to Lu Yuan?

Nanny Li scolded Lu Yuan hundreds of times in her heart!

This marriage may seem rushed, but it is actually much more orderly than the one in Youzhou. First, there is Manager Cen taking over the work. Second, the Governor's Mansion does not have as many troubles as the Lu family, let alone the Meng family with official pretensions. Yi was so angry that it was clearly the Lu family who wanted to marry Meng Qianqian, which made it seem like they were showing great favor to the Meng family.

It is not entirely true to say that there are no elders who want to establish authority in the Governor's Mansion. However, Grandma tried to cause trouble several times, but Lu Yuan stopped her.

Grandma still didn’t give up.

As expected, the Grand Governor knows how to manipulate people. He said, "Concubine Li also wants her to be her daughter-in-law. You must let my mother lose to Concubine Li." Grandma immediately stopped.

The only thing that left Nanny Li at a loss was the marriage bed.

When wealthy families marry their daughters, most of them will prepare a wedding bed in advance. Different from the ordinary Babu bed, the marriage bed pays attention to one work per day and one bed every three years. It is also called a thousand-work bed.

Back then, Meng Qianqian was too young and was in a hurry to get married. She didn't have time to make a thousand-hand bed. She never thought that it would be like this again.

Aunt Li said distressedly: "There are a lot of Qiangong beds for sale in the capital, but most of them are gimmicks and not real Qiangong beds."

Meng Qianqian said: "It doesn't matter, they are all fake anyway."

Fake marriage and fake marriage bed complement each other.

Grandma Li looked at her in surprise.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "I mean, the Governor won't mind."

It was a matter of her young lady's status and face in her husband's family. She didn't want to be careless. She decided to go to the city later. It would be better if she could buy a real Qiangong bed. If not, she would at least buy an expensive one. Step bed.

Thinking of something, Nanny Li asked: "By the way, Mr. Biao went out and said he had an appointment with a friend. Does Mr. Biao have any friends in the capital?"

When he was a child, Yu Li was very protective of the young lady and the two young masters. Aunt Li had a good impression of Yu Li.

Meng Qianqian said: "Well, I just made friends yesterday."

After breakfast, Grandma Li went out to look at the marriage bed.

Meng Qianqian went next door to show Granny Feng her legs.

"Grandma Feng, I'm here." She didn't forget to bring the spicy chicken made by Mrs. Du.

The blood coagulation ointment is very effective, and with Meng Qianqian's acupuncture and acupoint rejuvenation, Grandma Feng's legs no longer hurt.

Grandma Feng accepted her spicy chicken: "I heard that you want to buy a bed?"

Meng Qianqian was startled, hey, how did you know?

Granny Feng said calmly: "Go to the carpenter's house and ask. He might have some for sale. I don't know if they are good or not."

Meng Qianqian: "The carpenter is..."

Granny Feng: "That big axe."
