Chapter 363 She Won't Succeed

Chen Long said while looking at Xiao Tuo, Xiao Tuo's jaw almost fell to the ground, Chen Liuliu has such a generous dowry, why can't he get married?

Chen Long said with a smile: "Originally, when Liuliu got married, the dowry should not be disclosed in advance, but grandma said that she should be married off quickly so that her dowry could be announced in advance. Those who came to propose marriage these days almost broke the threshold. It's all crushed, no, the young master of the Fu family also said that he will come to ask for marriage early in the morning."

"Tomorrow morning?" Xiao Tuo was taken aback, "So early?"

"He probably came here for the dowry, but what can be done? Liuliu's marriage can't be postponed, Xiao Tuo, Liuliu said that you can think about it for a few days, and we shouldn't force you. Don't worry, Master Fu tomorrow. When we come over, we will try our best to refuse, just because my parents are afraid that they will be impatient, so we agreed."

Xiao Tuo said almost immediately: "I still have something to do, I have to leave first."

After speaking, he ran out like a whirlwind.

He rode his horse back to the Hou's mansion, and took the gong that knocked away the water from the porter's room and beat it all over the house, shouting as he knocked, "Get up, get up, everyone get up!"

Hou Ye was woken up by him, came out and saw that there was no water, he raised his ear angrily and said: "You better have something urgent."

These words were inexplicably familiar, but no matter how much they said, Xiao Tuo put down the gong and knelt down, "I want to marry Chen Liuliu."

When Lord Hou saw him kneeling down, he thought he was in trouble, and he swung his iron sand palm to slap him, but he didn't expect such a sentence out of his mouth, he slapped himself on the face with a smile, Help him up, "Get up and talk, let's discuss slowly!"

"We can't discuss it. If we discuss it, Liuliu will be married off by the young master of the Fu family. Hurry up and get ready for the betrothal gift, and leave right now." Xiao Tuo said anxiously.

Xiao Tuo's father, Commander Xiao, said strangely: "Why are you in such a hurry? We must choose a good day for this life, and tomorrow may not be a good day."

"Good day, tomorrow will be a good day, hurry up and pay the deposit first, or you will be married away." Xiao Tuo was in a hurry, if he went late, he would lose all the meteor hammer and jade sword.

Although I don't know why he is so anxious to marry Liuliu, the Xiao family is very happy to see this matter. The daughter-in-law they want in the Hou family is not the kind of soft and weak, Liuliu is just right, and can also strengthen the relationship. The relationship between the Chen family and the alliance between military generals are extraordinary.

In this way, the Xiao family spent the whole night rambling, and finally arrived at the door of Chen's house to wait before dawn.

When the sun jumped out, Lord Hou knocked on the door of the Chen family, and the old matriarch of the Chen family was already sitting gracefully on the grand teacher's chair in the house, watching his grandson-in-law walk in step by step.

Here sweetly talk about marriage, but in the early court, swords are on the verge of breaking out.

The King of Eastern Guangdong proposed in the early court that he wanted to find a son-in-law for the princess. It is well known that the princess had an accident, but it was always a matter for the royal family.

But the King of Eastern Guangdong directly told the matter in the early court, saying that whoever has a suitable son can recommend himself or hire a matchmaker.

Murong Jie was so angry that his face turned black. He originally thought of going secretly to dispel the idea of ​​the Empress Dowager today. After all, the King of East Guangdong was there that day, and the Empress Dowager wanted to save his face. Talk and she might change her mind.

But unexpectedly, the King of Eastern Guangdong proposed it in front of his courtiers.

Although Murong Jie was black-faced all the time, the Eastern King of Guangdong continued: "The custom of ghost marriage has a long history. Even when the Empress Dowager was here, she never objected. Princess Dachang was named Princess Zhenguo by the emperor. Comparable to the Empress, her marriage is naturally not a private matter of the royal family, it should be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace."

The King of Yuedong couldn't fault it, but everyone knew from Murong Jie's expression that he was probably against it, and for a while, no one dared to make a sound.

As for the Taifu and others, they naturally didn't want to interfere. After all, this is their royal affairs, and besides, it's not a big deal.

Seeing that no one came forward to speak, the Eastern King of Guangdong said, "Since no one objected, this matter will be hosted by the King and the Empress Dowager at the Ministry of Rites. Everyone can recommend talented people."

The Minister of Rites raised a question, "My lord, once the princess gets married, will the son-in-law be treated like other son-in-laws?"

The King of Guangdong said: "Naturally!"

Murong Jie's face turned dark, "Enough!" However, those who knew him could tell that although he was furious, he was relieved.

Prince Li was very surprised when he heard this, the old man really made a fuss, how could he say this in front of the courtiers? If this is the same treatment as other consorts, once the princess dies and has no children, wouldn't her property be inherited by the consort?

Sure enough, the courtiers were shocked as soon as the Yuedong King said this, and even Liang Taifu raised his eyebrows for it.

What happened in the court also reached the ears of the Grand Concubine. The Grand Concubine was very angry and cursed, "The King of Eastern Guangdong ruined the good thing about Aijia."

She originally planned to let Sun Can propose to marry the princess, but Sun Can's character is not good, and the King of Yuedong will naturally not agree. When the time comes, Liang Shulin will come forward. Comparing the two, under the balance, the King of Yuedong and the Empress Dowager will both think that Liang Shulin is better. .

However, the King of Eastern Guangdong put this at the front, which is equivalent to telling everyone that if you marry the princess, you don't have to worry about breaking your leg in this life.

Don't the people who want to marry the princess flock here?

If there are other better people, how can they rank Liang Shulin?

Murong Jie and Yuedong King went out to the Princess Mansion together, Yuedong King looked at him, "Do you want to ride in the same carriage with your uncle? Anyway, the destination is the same."

Murong Jie looked at him and snorted, "Old fox!"

But he got into his carriage.

The carriage slowly drove out of the north gate, and the King of Yuedong said proudly: "Do you think this king is better?"

Murong Jie said angrily: "What's better? This marriage should never have been brought up."

"If the king doesn't raise it, do you think your concubine and the empress dowager won't? Is the empress dowager willing to let your little aunt leave like this? There must be a door to let her in. Of course, this king thinks so too , she left without getting married, and she will become a lonely ghost when she dies. It's just that before you entered the palace yesterday, this king asked the empress dowager that it was your mother and concubine who asked about finding someone for Zhuang Zhuang. If someone brings it up, this king will not doubt it, but if it is your mother and concubine, this king must be vigilant."

Speaking of Concubine Gui, Murong Jie's face is usually expressionless.

The King of Yuedong glanced at him, "I know all about what your mother and concubine did to you. The Empress Dowager said yesterday that she couldn't stand your mother's hard and soft actions, so she issued a decree to allow King Nanhuai to return to Beijing. It seems , a bloody storm is unavoidable in Beijing.”

Murong Jie said indifferently: "She won't succeed!"

"Of course it won't succeed, but it's always right to be careful. At least, before King Nanhuai returns to Beijing, block everything that your mother and concubine might get. What is the purpose of her proposal to find someone for your little aunt? It's nothing more than your little aunt's rich family wealth. Everyone in the Murong family knows that the imperial court has no right to take back your little aunt's fiefs and family wealth. If she really goes, who will be cheaper? Of course it is the son-in-law .”
