[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials
Chapter 43
The reason why He Shen sent the dowry to the door so quickly.
But when the imperial decree arrived, it played a role in shaking the Rongguo Mansion.It also made them know in their hearts that not only did Daiyu not covet anything from his Rongguo Mansion, but instead wanted his Rongguo Mansion to hold Daiyu.
Of course, only He Shen can do such a big battle.
He had been operating in Beijing for a few years, and he was not short of money. Later, he became a celebrity in front of Qianlong, and the rewards were also soft.Qianlong would even open the door of convenience for him to make money.
For Heshen, it is not difficult to pay out the dowry in one time.
He Shen wrote the book of rites in his own hand.
The book of rites is long enough to dazzle people.
There were not so many people who carried dowry gifts in the Minister's Mansion, and Qianlong was not stingy, so it was convenient for the palace to borrow people for Heshen.
So the ones who came to carry the dowry gifts were the guards walking at the Qianqing Gate.
Most of them are the children of the Manchu and Mongolian palaces and clans.
Because He Shen used to be the guard of the Qianqing Gate, and was later promoted to the guard of the Imperial Palace.He knew these people very well, so they were happy to hold this face for He Shen.
In addition, those who walked in front were people from the House of Internal Affairs. Several eunuchs carried the whole deer, walking carefully and slowly.
And those who open the way on both sides are soldiers under Xianghuang's banner.
In fact, even if there are no soldiers to clear the way, there may not be any common people who dare to charge.
But He Shen still asked Qianlong for this grace.
Coincidentally, he was taking up the post of Deputy Commander of the Xianghuang Banner, and Qianlong still agreed to make a way for the soldiers under him and give him a betrothal gift.
It's better than those who use the soldiers under their hands to do rampant things.He Shen's behavior now only shows that he is a person who values affection.
Therefore, what shocked a group of people was not just the dowry, which was worth more than a hundred, but also the person who carried the dowry, and the accompanying people.
Looking at it like this, it will only make people think that some prince or noble is about to marry a wife.
In fact, let alone princes and nobles.
Nowadays, most of the princes and nobles in Beijing have poor families, so it is difficult to have such a battle.
But the next appointment is all, but it really embodies wealth and power to the fullest.
Even in a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather in Beijing, it is really eye-catching.
The onlookers can understand this kind of truth, so how can everyone in the Jia family not understand it?
Looking at the gradually approaching team, Jia Zheng couldn't help but say, "He Shenguo is really favored."
Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing, "Yu'er is so blessed."
After such an encounter, it must be difficult for Baoyu to catch Daiyu's eyes again, and she will never turn back.fair enough.Completely stifled future troubles.
At this time, Jia She raised his head and stared at the long line. In his eyes, these seemed to have turned into gold and silver treasures.He couldn't help but said: "If I knew it earlier, why didn't I marry the Jia family's daughter?"
What kind of marriage, what kind of honor and favor the emperor has.
For Jia Amnesty, it was all false.
But these money and wealth are expensive, but they are really good things!
Jia Amnesty remembered what Mrs. Xing had said to him not long ago, and a strong unwillingness rose in his heart.
Why, why did a daughter with a foreign surname get it?
For a moment, Jia She forgot that Lin Ruhai was still beside him, and at this moment Lin Ruhai was standing very close to him, so he happened to hear Jia She's voice.
Lin Ruhai turned around and gave him a lukewarm look.
Jia She is obviously the elder brother, but at this moment he shrank his neck.
I don't know how Mother Jia taught the eldest son to look like this in the past.
Jia Zheng also didn't like his elder brother, so when he saw this, he said: "Brother, be careful, if it falls into the ears of He Shilang, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jia She also didn't like this younger brother, he was the one who inherited the title of Rongguo Mansion, but he just lived like a bastard.All this is thanks to Jia Zheng.
While Jia Zheng has a good reputation outside, his reputation is just the opposite.
Comparing the two, Jia Amnesty fell behind again.
At this time, Jia She could not hear Jia Zheng's reprimand, and immediately sneered, "What can he do with me?"
It was Mrs. Wang who said, "Here comes the man."
After all, they looked up together and saw He Shen walking in front of the gate.
He is holding the jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor in his hand, to show that the emperor attaches great importance to this marriage and regards it as an inseparable marriage.
Just now Jia She was talking wildly, but now he restrained himself completely, as if he had never said anything just now.
Only Mrs. Xing couldn't stop looking at He Shen.
Where can one find such a suitable son-in-law?
Lin Ruhai was so cheap!
Think about it, if there is such a powerful and rich son-in-law backing up, how could their first wife be suppressed to such an extent by the second wife?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing actually took a step forward.
As soon as He Shen stepped up the steps, he saw a dull and old woman who took a step forward and faintly separated from the crowd.
As if you have something to say to him.
He Shen stepped into the gate and glanced at the woman.
I vaguely remembered that this should be Mrs. Xing.
"Sister-in-law." Mrs. Wang said.
Mrs. Xing just woke up like a dream, and retreated embarrassingly.
"Brother Zhi Zhai." Jia Zheng immediately went up to meet him, but then realized that not only was the address wrong, but even his way of meeting him was wrong.
Jia Zheng hurriedly changed his words: "And the servant."
Immediately, he stepped back two steps so that Lin Ruhai could move forward.
Lin Ruhai's heart was still in shock, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He Shen saw Lin Ruhai's thoughts at a glance, and he didn't point it out. He just smiled faintly, and said with both hands: "This is the book of ceremonies."
Lin Ruhai took it, opened it and glanced at it roughly.
But just this was enough to startle him.
Indeed, there is no one better than Heshen who can protect Daiyu and make her live comfortably all her life.
However, Lin Ruhai had another worry in his heart.Now that Heshen is in the limelight, what if the tree attracts the wind and Daiyu suffers?
It's just that Lin Ruhai couldn't say these words after all.
He can't speculate on Heshen's future like this.
Lin Ruhai showed a crying and smiling expression: "Yeah."
Then he raised his hand and patted He Shen on the shoulder.
He Shen was taller than him, so Lin Ruhai only took one pat and took it back.
After all, this is the Rongguo Mansion, so it is not easy to say how to arrange the dowry.
Mrs. Wang took two steps and said with a smile: "Young master doesn't have a house in Beijing, and Yu'er has been living in our mansion. Why don't I arrange it and let them clean out a courtyard and put the dowry gift from the servant When Yu'er gets married, she will send it along with the dowry."
He Shen glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang still had a smile on her face, and her expression did not seem to be fake.
Mrs. Wang and her niece are greedy for money, but they never show it on the surface.
They dared to release loan sharks, and they dared to hold any dirty money in their hands, all they fought was the plaque on the top of the Rongguo Mansion.
As long as Mrs. Wang is not stupid, she will naturally dare not touch this dowry.
Not to mention the dowry.
In the future, she would not dare to touch Daiyu's dowry.
He Shen nodded: "Then there is Mrs. Lao Er."
Mrs. Wang was delighted when she heard his polite and respectful tone, knowing that He Shen was very likely to be a relative of their Rongguo Mansion in the future.
Mrs. Wang was naturally very happy when she got double benefits, and she was willing to put in more effort.
She turned her head and called: "Zhou Rui's family, come here, I have a few things to tell you."
Zhou Rui's family often followed Mrs. Wang, so they were naturally at the door at this time.It's just that when the marriage decree came down, her knees were already weak and she couldn't get up.
Miss Lin got a marriage gift!
Then He Shilang will be Miss Lin's husband-in-law in the future!
Zhou Rui's family did not dare to forget the palace flower incident. She was afraid that Miss Lin would have the support of the servant, but now that the relationship between the two has improved, Zhou Rui's family has become even more flustered.
For a moment, her face was pale, her body was trembling, and she dared not move, for fear of stepping forward, she asked He Shi Lang to kick her to death.
Mrs. Wang saw that Zhou Rui's family didn't move for a long time, but she was still trembling, she thought she was frightened by today's battle, so she had no choice but to turn her head and said: "Wu Xing's family, come here."
Wu Xing's family has been waiting for this moment.
Knowing that Zhou Rui's family was guilty, she had been waiting for this benefit to fall on her head.
Who knew that she would really take advantage of it.
Wu Xing's family hurriedly smiled, got up and walked to Mrs. Wang's side with small steps, and bowed with He Shen: "He Shilang."
The voice was humble and respectful.
In the past, Zhou Rui's family despised her behavior the most.Wu Xingjia sneered in his heart, but now he doesn't know who looks down on whom.
He Shen has read the original book, how could he not know that Zhou Rui's family dared not get up.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, bringing out a slightly sharp arc, he glanced at Zhou Rui's family, seeing that the other person's body was trembling more violently, then he took his eyes back.
At this time, Mrs. Wang had ordered Wu Xing's family to prepare two adjacent courtyards.
The former is used to place dowry.
The latter will allow Daiyu to move there.
It's not easy to let Daiyu continue to live in the bisha cabinet. It's an expedient measure. Now that I ask He Shilang to know that Baoyu's residence used to be, wouldn't it cause a catastrophe?
Wu Xing's family responded.
Mother Jia is not here, so naturally she can't object.
But even with her here, Ben had no reason to object.
Only then did He Shen say: "Second wife is considerate, thank you."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately felt more at ease than hearing ten words of praise.
Lin Ruhai on the side also looked much better.
In this Rongguo mansion, although there are some people who are not good, there are still more smart people.
Not long after, Wu Xing's family came to report: "The servants are very quick, and they have already cleared out a yard."
Mrs. Wang looked at the tall and handsome men in guard uniforms behind He Shen, and said, "Let them bring everything in."
He Shen nodded, and the people behind him just moved.
The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stood at the door and sang the gift list.
In this way, everyone looked at the betrothal gifts and carried them in one box after another.
Among them there are some Western gadgets.
What clocks, glass, glassware, telescopes...
What more Dongzhu ornaments, enamel colored wares...
There are incense gun bracelet gold, fruit sugar wine.
Among them, the tea ceremony is the most important.
Originally, He Shen didn't consider this item, but Qianlong did.
Qianlong liked to drink tea, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he tasted Longjing in Hangzhou, so he ordered the only [-] tea trees as "Royal Tea".
The tea cake brought in this betrothal gift is the imperial tea presented by Qianlong.
Now even in the palace, the number is limited.
People who stand here know how Longjing was so loved by Qianlong.
When the eunuch heard the eunuch read "Two Cakes of Imperial Tea and Longjing", which meant a good pair, he couldn't help sighing again, and He Shen really fell in love.
Jia Zheng said more thoughtfully.
He had never even tasted it.
However, they turned their heads to look at He Shen, and saw that this man still had a calm expression on his face, as if he had offered a betrothal gift, but it was only mediocre.
Jia Zheng couldn't help looking up at his noble mansion.
It actually looked a bit shabby.
But when the imperial decree arrived, it played a role in shaking the Rongguo Mansion.It also made them know in their hearts that not only did Daiyu not covet anything from his Rongguo Mansion, but instead wanted his Rongguo Mansion to hold Daiyu.
