After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The supervisor suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

But when he saw the two big words "Lu Yuan" clearly written on the marriage certificate, he understood that the commander-in-chief was not joking with him, and this treacherous minister who was hated by both man and god was really going to get married.

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

He suppressed the shock and curiosity that surged in his heart, and asked calmly, "Excuse me, Grand Commander, where is the wedding of the Emperor and Empress?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Why don't you just pick another day?"

Supervisor: You even dare to snatch the auspicious day of the Emperor and Empress, you treacherous minister, don’t be so arrogant!

Lu Yuan looked at him nonchalantly: "Hmm?"

The Supervisor bowed and said, "I congratulate the Grand Commander on his wedding in advance!"

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

The warden's calves trembled.

As soon as the supervisor left, Lu Yuan recalled Shangguan Ling.

"What orders does the Grand Commander have?" Shangguan Ling walked into 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 Commander, my subordinates are killing people."

Lu Yuan: "So?"

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

Did all the people in the Governor's Office die? Yu Zichuan was sitting on the rooftop cleaning his arrows. He was so idle that he was just playing with birds. Didn't you see it?

"do you have any opinion?"

"I dare not! I will go to Fengshui Hutong right now."

Well, you are lucky today, so I will let you live one more day.

Shangguan Ling went to Fengshui Hutong.

Tan Er is playing on the swing: "Swordsman, here comes the counterattack!"

Meng Tianlan had just been beaten up by his seventh uncle, and was squatting on the ground with a bruised face and nose.

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

Shangguan Ling: "..."

Meng Tianlan hadn't seen Shangguan Ling yesterday, and he really thought that he was a juggler. He thought that all the jugglers in the capital were so particular, with their costumes looking very impressive.

Shangguan Ling drew out his embroidered spring sword and pointed it at Meng Tianlan with murderous intent: "Do you want to die..."

Tan Er: "He is my sister's third uncle."

Shangguan Ling swung the knife into the air very smoothly: "Forty-eighth style, or sixty-nineth style?"

Meng Tianlan said: "Come and have a look. If you like it, I'll give you a reward."

Shangguan Ling's mouth twitched, and he endured the humiliation and finished performing the 117 moves he had made up on the spot.

"Not bad." Meng Tianlan commented, "It looks like a real trick."

Shangguan Ling: My knife is used to kill people. I can kill one person with one blow. Isn't that a real skill?

Meng Tianlan thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you from? Follow me in the future and I will make sure you have a good life."

Tan Er tapped the ground with her toes and stopped the swing: "Third Uncle, you may not be able to afford him!"

Meng Tianlan stood up and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Is he worth a lot? Is there anyone in the world that my Meng family can't afford?"

Tan Er said vividly: "He is the confidant of the Grand Commander, a third-rank official in the imperial court, and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

thump!

Meng Tianlan knelt down!

……

Nanny Li had a lot of opinions about Lu Yuan, but first the highest steward of the Governor's Office came to propose marriage in person, and then the third-rank commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard ran errands to inform her of the wedding date, which could be said to have given her young lady enough face.

No matter how angry you are, it will be half gone.

It's just that she thought the wedding date was too soon.

Meng Qianqian had no objection. After all, it was just a matter of dealing with both families. It made no difference whether they got married early or late. Besides, not only was Lu Yuan worried that his mother would come to the capital and force him to marry a Miao woman, she was also worried that someone from the Meng family would come to take her back.

To avoid many troubles at night, it is better to get married sooner and feel at ease.

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

Originally, when Lin Wan'er was adopted as the daughter of the Wen family, Concubine Li personally promised to ask His Majesty to arrange a marriage between her and Lu Lingxiao.

But no one announced the decree, so the Yao family went directly to propose marriage.

The Yao family never mentioned the imperial edict. Instead, the old lady asked, "Wasn't it His Majesty who granted the marriage?" The steward of the Yao family evaded the question by saying that His Majesty was busy with state affairs.

Concubine Li did want to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage at the beginning, so as to show her importance to Lin Wan'er, but who could have thought that Meng Qianqian was actually Meng Xiaojiu. Concubine Li wanted both. Lin Wan'er was pregnant, so the marriage could not be avoided. However, Meng Qianqian was not yet in her possession, so she had to be coaxed into it.

So the imperial edict was left unresolved.

The old lady's face lengthened.

The Lu family suffered a great loss of face a while ago, and was thinking of getting back some face through this marriage, but they didn't expect that the imperial edict would lose its face.

The second lady pulled the old lady's sleeve and whispered: "Mother, it's good that the marriage is still there. The daughter of the Duke's Mansion is here."

The old lady thought it was right. After all, Lin Wan'er was marrying as the daughter of a Duke.

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

Manager Qian smiled and said, "The manager is busy and can't spare time."

The old lady was unhappy again that she only sent a small steward over.

Manager Qian pretended not to notice her dissatisfaction and continued with a smile, "The Duke's wife wants to get married as soon as possible. Miss Wan'er will come to the mansion two days in advance and get married from the Duke's Mansion at that time."

The old lady asked in confusion, "You only came to the mansion two days in advance? Aren't you going to pick her up now?"

Lin Wan'er sat behind the screen, listening to the conversation outside, clutching her sleeves tightly.

Manager Qian continued, "Madam is also worried that Miss Wan'er will not be able to get used to living here. Madam Lu, don't worry. The Duke's Mansion will prepare the wedding dress, the bride's sedan chair, and all the necessary matters for the wedding, so that Miss Wan'er can marry in style. As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, Madam said that the Lu family is having a hard time now, so these can be kept simple."

What he said before made sense, but what did he say at the end?

Keep it simple? Not only the betrothal gifts, but also the dowry? The implication is that the Duke's Mansion does not want to give a dowry!

What did she say at the beginning? Concubine Li would take the lead in adding insult to injury to Lin Wan'er -

When Lu Lingxiao married Meng Qianqian, although he did not give a dowry, Meng Qianqian brought a dowry of more than 100,000 taels to Beijing!

The old lady refused to accept it and slapped the table: "Is this how you marry your daughters off?"

Manager Qian's smile faded a little: "We are also thinking about the Lu family. Since ancient times, the bride's dowry has been given based on the groom's gift. If the Lu family can afford it, our Duke's Mansion can also afford the dowry no matter how much!"

The old lady was furious: "You——"

Manager Qian smiled faintly and said, "If you are not satisfied with this marriage, when Miss Wan'er's child is born, it will be recorded in our Duke's Mansion's family tree, and we will raise it ourselves!"

That won’t do! The old lady can’t let her precious great-grandson become someone else’s!

"Mom, don't be angry, let's talk it over nicely, we are all family!"

The Second Lady didn't care whether the Yao family gave her a dowry or not. The old lady was too strict and she couldn't make any money from it. She might as well take advantage of the power of the Duke's Mansion to find a future for her two sons who were studying at the Imperial College.

"Has the wedding date been set?"

she asked with a smile.

Manager Qian said amiably, "There are a few good days next month, the 16th, 19th, 27th..."

"Next month..." The Second Madam glanced at Lin Wan'er's gradually bulging belly, "Then let's do the sixteenth. The sooner the better."

Manager Qian said with a smile: "The sixteenth is the auspicious day for the Emperor and Empress' wedding. You can choose another one."

Concubine Li had secretly asked the people of the Imperial Observatory to calculate the big day of the year, which would be the 16th.

The second wife was stunned: "Your Majesty is getting married? The Queen is——"

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

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Duke's Mansion has a Concubine Li, and will soon have a Queen. They are truly a royal family.

Even though Lin Wan'er was a descendant of the Twelve Guards, she could not compete with the Emperor and Empress for an auspicious day.

After the people from the Duke's Mansion left, Luluo grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What? The Duke's Mansion clearly treats me differently. I have to pick up the days that Miss Yao has left, and I have to pick up the dowry that leaks out of her fingers. It sounds nice to say that I'm getting married in glory, but where is the glory in it?"

Lin Wan'er didn't say anything.

Her desires were insatiable. At first, she didn't even dare to dream of becoming the legal wife. But now she has finally gotten what she wanted, and has the added identity of a daughter of a Duke, but she feels disappointed.

But he was only depressed for a short while. She was the legitimate daughter of the Yao family and the cousin of the emperor. It was normal that he could not compare with her.

It’s enough that she lives a better life than Meng Qianqian.

Unfortunately, the Meng family has come to the capital and will probably bring Meng Qianqian back to Youzhou soon, so Meng Qianqian will not be able to witness her marriage to Lu Lingxiao with her own eyes.

Feng Shui Hutong.

"Miss, isn't the wedding date too hasty?"

Nanny Li asked.

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

Tan Er held up her cheek with her little fist: "I think it's good too! The braised pork from the Governor's Mansion, please give it a try!"

Madam Li gave her a glare and said, "You greedy girl!"

Nanny Li was worried that the day was too close and many things could not be taken care of, which would be unfair to her young lady.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "I'm a second bride, isn't it good for me to be low-key?"

Nanny Li sighed.

Tan Er jumped in front of Meng Qianqian and asked excitedly, "Sister, are you going to make your wedding dress tomorrow?"

Customs vary from place to place. In Youzhou, women will often embroider wedding dresses for their daughters themselves, while many wealthy families in the capital will hire embroiderers to do it.

Meng Qianqian said: "Manager Cen said that he would invite the embroiderer to come home."

Originally, the bride should worry about her own wedding dress, but Manager Cen arranged it as well.

Tan Er looked resentful: "But I want to go out for a walk."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Okay, let's go for a walk."

Tan Er giggled and said, "Sister, resistance is the best!"

Nanny Li looked at her young lady with heartache and relief. More than five years ago, the young lady was still a child and did not feel like she was getting married at all. It was more like she was adopted into another family as a daughter.

Now she has grown into a graceful and elegant lady, and looks like a real bride.

"If Madam knew that Miss has grown up so much..."

"Cough cough!"

Meng Tianlan coughed heavily at the door.

Nanny Li lowered her eyes to hide her flash of panic, and stood up and said, "Third Master, Seventh Uncle, Manager Meng, you are here, please sit down."

The three of them entered the house.

Madam Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss, the old lady next door seemed to have fallen down this morning."

"Really? Tan'er, come with me to take a look."

"Order!"

Meng Qianqian took Tan'er out of the house.

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

Madam Li said guiltily, "I was distracted for a moment when I saw how old the young lady has become."

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

"How dare I say that?" Meng Tianlan sat down on a chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was not wine, so he put it down with disdain, "The old man won't let me."

Uncle Seven said, "What if the third girl finds out someday? Aren't you afraid that she will blame you?"

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