The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Chapter 187 Preparing for the Wedding

After Lin Tian and Situ Meng issued a series of stalking missions to the shadows, they temporarily put the case of selling weapons on hold. Even the private salt boats of the Liguo Mansion that were discovered before were directly dumped by Situ Meng to the emperor.

Because their wedding date has finally been set, it will be on the sixth day of the first lunar month, which is the most suitable day for getting married in the first month according to repeated calculations by Qin Tianjian.

Originally, the two of them simply thought that apart from the two of them being present on the wedding day, all the previous tedious procedures could be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to directly communicate with Mrs. Lin.

Unexpectedly, things are not as simple as they imagined. Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about the dresses that the two people wore when they got married. Because of time constraints, the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly transferred the royal clothes from the palace under the order of the queen. The best embroidery workers in the Bureau take turns to be on duty, working overtime [-] hours a day without interruption.

Therefore, the production of winter clothes for all the concubines in the palace has been delayed this year, especially those high-end clothes for high-ranking concubines that require a lot of embroidery.Although those high-ranking concubines didn't say anything, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

After Situ Meng and Lin Tian got engaged on their wedding date, they were fiddled and measured by several waves of tailors like puppets, in order to obtain the most accurate data.This amount is almost a day, and they have been busy from morning to dusk, tossing the two of them enough.

Not only the dresses for the big wedding need to be made quickly, but also the regular clothes they need to wear after they get married, especially Lin Tian, ​​because although they have the title of princess before, the two have not officially married, so she doesn't matter whether it's the style of clothes or The jewelry or hairstyles that are occasionally worn on weekdays are all dressed up by girls who have not left the court, and these clothes and jewelry have to be remade.

Lin Tian saw that Jia Min was very busy with his own affairs, so he couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to take over the work of making jewelry. After all, compared with the hard work of a craftsman for many days, he may not be able to create a stunning jewelry according to the album. 100% satisfied jewelry.

Lin Tian can make it much faster. Basically, as long as the pattern is accurate enough, it is a matter of minutes to make a jewelry made of metal. Even if you want to inlay some gemstones and pearls, it is just a little delay. It's just a breath, and if there is any dissatisfaction, you can melt it at any time and start over.

On the other hand, Lin Daiyu excitedly worked as a helper, drawing all the shapes she could think of or liked, and asked Lin Tian to help her make different jewelry.

Thus, such a beautiful landscape appeared in the Lin family, a big girl and a little girl, both of them had smiles on their faces, sometimes they got together to chat, and sometimes they took the jewelry made by Lin Tianxin to discuss and study.

In a short while, the big table in front of them was already filled with all kinds of weird jewelry. Although it was beautiful, fun and unique, it was a hundred thousand different from the jewelry that Jia Min asked to accompany her home. Eight thousand miles.

After Jia Min was angry for a while, she looked at two different beautiful faces and showed her a flattering smile at the same time. At this moment, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't express it, so she could only take out a book. In the thick jewelry album, I personally circled the necessary ones in it, and asked Lin Tian to get it out quickly, and then I will not care about the little interests of my aunt and nephew.

Apart from these, the most troublesome thing is the decoration of the new house in the main courtyard of Prince Zhongshun's mansion.Although neither Lin Tian nor Situ Meng like too cumbersome decorations, but this is the prince's new house, if it looks like a snow cave, it will not only be the two of them who will be laughed at, but even those who come to The emperor and queen who officiate will be ridiculed!

Therefore, Lin Tian and Situ Meng could only use their brains desperately, and they were exhausted on how to decorate the room in a simple and elegant way, but also in a low-key, luxurious and connotative way.

Moreover, the place to be decorated is not just as simple as a main courtyard!After all, the two of them are not like the juniors of those big families getting married, because although the mansion is big, they only have such a small courtyard. They all belong to the two of them, so when the wedding is approaching, the entire mansion will undergo major renovations.

Even if the two of them have been streamlined and streamlined, compressed and compressed again, and even as long as the places that can be seen are not renovated, they are just decorated with a lot of things like lanterns, red silk, and silk flowers. The inventory of the House of Internal Affairs was emptied. After all, the Prince Zhongshun's House was a place that was much larger than everyone else's when the emperor favored his younger brother.

Fortunately, the new year is approaching, and there are a large number of festive items from the imperial merchants from all over the country. Finally, the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not been completely emptied, but the low-level concubines in the palace have suffered, because the rations issued to them on weekdays All the silk flowers and velvet flowers in the house were temporarily embezzled.

All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent in the palace, and the concubines who had envied and hated Lin Tian before were eager to replace him, especially when they looked at the empress, who almost wanted the House of Internal Affairs to serve Lin Tian and Situ Meng. The posture of holding a wedding, one by one, couldn't bear it any longer, and some people began to connect with each other, colluding secretly, waiting to find a suitable opportunity before completely breaking out.

Regarding these matters, Lin Tian and Situ Meng knew nothing at all, because they have been very busy with the various decorations and decorations of the palace recently.

"Oh! I'm exhausted! This is more tiring than practicing kung fu and investigating crimes! Fortunately, this wedding is only once in a lifetime, otherwise I won't do it even if I am beaten to death!" Lin Tian was as tired as a dead dog , lying on the couch of a beauty, feeling weak all over.

Situ Meng on the side was not much better than her, and he leaned softly on the soft couch, echoing: "Yes! I'm really exhausted! I've decided, and I'll leave this matter to Rong Jing later. Go with Tan Mingxu, how can you say that one of them is the Changshi of the palace and the other is Mrs. Changshi, so it is reasonable to deal with these matters!"

"Yeah, I agree, find someone to tell them! I don't want to do these things anymore!" Lin Tian said happily.

Lin Tian was talking to Situ Meng, when he saw Xiaochengzi and Xiaotao suddenly appearing outside the door, and they both shouted crisply: "Master, it's a good thing that this slave is not disgraceful, everything is done!"

"Ah, you guys came back just in time! You brought all the seized weapons, where are they?" Lin Tian saw the two of them, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the couch in an instant, his body The figure flashed and came to the door.

"Yeah, where do you put those things? Hurry up and take us to have a look!" Situ Meng also regained his energy at this moment, as if it wasn't the two of them who were lying there motionless like two dead dogs just now. People seem to be.

"Master, come with me!" Xiao Chengzi said, not bothering to wash off the dust accumulated due to rushing, so she led them to a warehouse in the backyard in a dusty suit, and then directly He opened all the boxes containing those weapons, took out one of the standard broadswords, and said:

"In this batch of weapons, there are one hundred such broadswords, fifty bows and arrows, and more than 100 other spears and the like. The total number is three hundred. The strange thing is that there are only bows and arrows but no accessories. arrow branch."

"This is normal. We make all the arrows here by ourselves. In fact, we usually make bows and arrows by ourselves, but the bows and arrows made of wood are far less powerful than iron bows and have a long range!" The voice fell. Mo Zhigen, who was supporting Qiqige whose belly had grown obviously, also walked over slowly.

"That's right, the Xiongnu's purchase of weapons from them is not cheap, so of course, you can save as much as you can. You can make arrows yourself, and you don't need to spend a lot of money to buy them!" Qiqige also interjected.

"That's right! The shooting range of this iron bow is at least twice that of the wooden bows and arrows we made ourselves. Moreover, if you want to increase the lethality of the arrow branches, you only need to make the arrows with iron. This craft is our grassland. I have mastered it!" Mo Zhigen explained.

"Mengmeng, look quickly, these weapons should be the same as what we saw in the destroyed base last time, they are all remade from old standard weapons! The logo of the Ministry of War is still there! "Lin Tian pointed to a position on the handle of the knife and the obvious repair marks on the blade, and said in a serious tone.

"Hmph! These people are really too arrogant! They treat the slightly damaged standard weapons in the army as scrap products, and then resell them to the Xiongnu for huge profits after a little repair. They are simply a group of traitors! "

Situ Meng looked at these weapons, and the anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger, then he glanced at Xiao Chengzi beside him, and asked, "Are you sure that all the weapons sold in this batch are related to Kari? Are they related to the Zhen family?"

"Master, you know how difficult and slippery Nagali is! Although during the interrogation, a sailor inadvertently slipped his mouth, we only knew that the owner behind this weapon sale should be Gali, but After that, that person immediately retracted his confession and denied it!

Moreover, we have not found any actual evidence against Kari, so we have no way to arrest him now!Not to mention the Zhen family, although we found out that they have a close relationship with the local garrison general in Jinling, and would often buy some scrapped weapons from them, but there is no evidence that they sold the weapons to the Huns! "Little Chengzi said a little depressed.

"En?" Situ Meng was taken aback when he heard that, and asked in disbelief: "You all seized the stolen goods, or did you get the stolen goods together? The big boss behind the scenes has no way to testify. You won't let it go easily, will you?"

"That's not true, it's just that when he was arrested, he saw that there was no hope of escape, so he took poison and killed himself! Even after his death, all the stewards on the ship died of poison! There are servants like sailors who know fur!" Xiao Chengzi said here, very helpless.

Lin Tian and Situ Meng looked at each other. The method of tail-docking to survive was almost the same as what they encountered before. I really don't know what kind of crazy person is behind this. For his own benefit, he can easily Putting these subordinates to death makes people shudder to think about it!
