Chapter 19 Smart Clouds

The light brings glory back to the mountain, just at dusk. Under the afterglow, in front of the sunset, Rong Hui personally greeted the gate. Seeing the carriage coming in the grove road, he quickly said, "Daughty, have you get it back?"

"It's almost, it's almost!" Rong Guang laughed loudly, jumped out of the car and said loudly, "The auspicious period is set on the eighth day of September. A lot of things have to be settled tonight." He wore a deep blue coat, which was set off by the afterglow and shining. Glory was still wearing yesterday's dark green clothes, and then got out of the car, lowered his head and blushed.

"What, has your daughter-in-law seen it?" Rong Hui laughed when he saw it: "Look at your little blush, you still know a lot!" Glory blushed and shouted "Second Brother" and couldn't wait to dig a hole to get in.

"Okay, don't make fun of him!" Rong Guang smiled and dissuaded: "We have only seen a circle of relatives of the Song family, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the little girl yet!" Reach out to the door and lead the way first.

In the evening, the family had dinner at Ziwei Pavilion. Rong Yao has to get up early to practice and leave first. Li Puning also recruited the two brothers to go to the study room in the east room to ask questions, and Li's mother took Zhou and two granddaughters to the west room for tea.

Under the crystal lamp, in front of the carved round table, Li Fangning wore a square scarf and a silver silk purse. When the maid who served the tea went down, she picked up the celadon tea cup and took a sip and asked, "What did the Song family say?"

"I said that the child is too young and there are many blessings, so we will fall in love with the land first." Rong Guang told the truth: "They also agreed to buy 10,000 taels of dowry for the girl at 30 taels per mu of silver."

The price of Lingtian has soared, and the price of Lingtian under the mountain has risen to 30 or 40 taels. Li Yuning felt the same and asked Rong Hui, "Now that the boss is back, it's time to talk about you. Did you say it or did I say it?

Rong Hui couldn't open his mouth and pretended not to know. He picked up the tea and siped it. Little rabbit, you can still be good if you get cheap!" Li Yuning grinned and said, "My eldest sister went to Chen's house yesterday and wanted to apologize. But I didn't expect that the girl of the Chen family would be willing to agree to this marriage!" The smile is far away and glorious.

"Yes!" Rong Guang reacted and quickly asked, "Where's the eldest sister?"

Rong Hui explained casually with tea: "I asked her to go to Changsha Mansion for something. He pulled Xiaoyue and left yesterday. Bring the tea specialty of our mountain..."

Seeing that his son intended to change the topic, Li Yuning smiled and then said, "At the beginning, when the second sister married into the Chen family, Lord Chen spent five million yuan on a big marriage. At that time, five million taels of silver combined with 300,000 taels of gold. We can't marry the Chen girl now, which can't be less than this number. But Miss Huang also wants to enter the door, and this bowl of water has to be flat, adding up to 600,000 taels of gold. Tell me, how can we spend so much money?

Rongguang was stunned and stretched out his thumb and asked, "Six...600,000 taels?"

"These 600,000 taels are spent alone on the girl of the Huang family, and I think 'Chun Shen Lingjun' is also too little." Rong Hui took a big sip of tea and exhaled: "This is just our expenses. If we really put on the gift list, we can make a good achievement. Let's see if there is anything to add or reduce, and we will take this opportunity to renovate it.

He remembered something and quickly asked Rong Guang: "I heard that the eldest brother was destroyed by the Yang family guard in the yard at the foot of the mountain? Why didn't you say it earlier? It's just starting from here. With that, he pointed and casually scratched: "And this 'Ziwei Pavilion', I remember it when I went up the mountain. Up to now, this house has been 30 years. It was renovated six years ago. Look at this pillar, this beam, it's all rotten. I think we should dismantle it and change it again! That 600,000 two miles..."

Li Yuning saw that his son obviously didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, so he couldn't help laughing: "If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, won't you build this house?"

"No, no!" Rong Hui's heart jumped, as if he had been exposed, and quickly explained, "It's right to think of your new daughter-in-law to honor your two elders and build a new house for your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law for the cost of the wedding!"

"Can only two girls get married?" Li Yuning laughed and said, "Do you use your daughter-in-law's dowry to honor your parents? Well, I'll make the decision for you, and let the boss give it to you. Now wait for the eldest sister to come back and see what she says..." She yawned and waved: "Well, you've been tired for a day. Go and rest!"

Rong Hui had a headache, stood up and arched his hand. He went to the west to say goodbye to his mother: "Mom, let's come again tomorrow." He also greeted Sister Yun: "Let's go back!" Holding the little girl's hand, he turned around and walked straight out.

Rong Guang also said goodbye to his mother. When Sister Xin saw her, she went up to take her father's hand, carried it on her shoulder and pulled it out, vowing to surpass Sister Yun. Zhou also picked up Brother Mao and bowed his head to salute: "Mom, we'll go first."

The two brothers said goodbye at the gate of Ziwei Pavilion, and Rong Hui went to the "Yanfei Pavilion" generously. Zhou asked happily, "Fami, I just heard my father laugh. What's the happy event?" The maids who accompanied the waiter stopped when they saw that they had something to say.

Rong Guang led Sister Xin and said as he walked, "The second brother is going to marry a daughter-in-law. He will marry two at a time and prepare to spend 600,000 taels to get married."

"600,000 taels?" Zhou couldn't help squeaking: "Tut... That's the cost of three years in the inner courtyard."

Rong Guang squeezed his lips and smiled: "600,000 taels of gold."

"What?" Zhou was shocked: "600,000 taels, gold?"

"It's not all gifts." Rong Guang smiled and explained, "The second brother said that this mountain should be turned over and repaired. The yard at the foot of our mountain and the Ziwei Pavilion have been demolished and reopened. Dad asked me to take out a charter. If you want to add or reduce it in your inner court, please also make a list for me. With a sigh, it was also a little fluttering.

Zhou felt that there was a play, her eyes lit up, and she sighed happily: "If you ask me, Dad will still feel sorry for people. Xiaoxuan also has a large courtyard at the foot of the mountain. It's better to take good care of her house first and then start our yard. Rong Guang thought of Xiaoxuan. When he entered Li's house, he only had 20,000 taels of dowry. I miss everywhere and can't help sighing. Zhou and her husband couldn't help shaking their heads when they thought of it.

Hongxiao was in August 17 years, and the northwest war was deadlocked. Dai Ce, the imperial envoy of the right capital, took the "Qixi" festival on Xiangyang Zhaoming stage, "Chunshen Lingjun" to forcibly match his granddaughter and "Lingshan Zhenren" as a Taoist couple, and let his grandson marry the "Lingshan Zhenren" on the same day. He went to the court to impeach "Chen Shenlingjun" for bullying people, disrupting the imperial court, and demanding that he severely punish him severely.

After a word came out, the world was shocked. Hearing this, internal and foreign officials seconded the discussion one after another, demanding a severe punishment of "Chunshen Lingjun". What's more, on the grounds of ignoring the rules of his ancestors and disobedient to morality, he asked the emperor to sell his "fairy" and demote him to a commoner.

"Chun Shen Lingjun" heard the news and went to Beijing to plead overnight. Rong Hui heard the news in the sound of the sound, and also asked Xiaojuan to write a "argument form" overnight to explain his resume. The next day, he reported to Yanjing's "Taolu Division" with a summoning array.

The emperor stayed in the middle, but scolded the courtiers for ignoring the overall situation and did not care about the safety of his country at all. Then the decree was issued to make the officials of the three departments of Fufu, Press and Sanshi to mention the advantages and disadvantages of the military and the people. Let the scholars make advice and go straight to heaven.

Everyone knows: "The great trouble in the world is nothing more than the separation of princes, the northern border, and the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea. The emperor's move is beating the edge drum of the 'Huang family'. So they came up one after another, quoted the classics and talked about the "Public Security Policy".

August 15, the emperor first sealed Miss Huang Jiaqi as "Chengquan Yuanjun" and made a book:

Give Li Ronghui, the "Lingshan Zhenren", and Huang Jijing, the "Chengquan Yuanjun" to form a Taoist couple, and order you and others to do the gifts of "piercing needles" and "knotch ingenuity".

That night, he also called Dai Ce and others to speak in the warm pavilion: "Next year's inspection, visit the actual situation, so as to be the best!" It can be regarded as persuading both sides to calm down and support the "Chunshen Lingjun". The imperial edict was only transmitted to Lingshan on the first day of September. It has been a month since Rong Xue and Xiaoyue returned to the mountain.

At noon, the autumn sun shines. Rong Hui wore a gift suit and bowed the jade shaft in front of the incense case in the front hall. The servant of the decree is still the father-in-law last time. He smiled and said, "Lingshan Zhenren, you are the first person in history to let the emperor give Taoist couples!" He grinned and handed out the book.

"Thank you for your good words!" Rong Hui stood up straight and responded casually with a bitter face: "Dous-in-law, can I give it to you?"

"I won't send it!" The servant couldn't help laughing: "You, you'd better admire the emperor's grace!" With that, he waved the dust and raised his legs and left. The yellow-robed Yiwei blushed early and quickly followed in the sound of the jet.

Rong Hui, Rong Guang and Glory followed everyone out of the hall and sent them all the way to the gate. Seeing the servant riding a horse into the air, they were relieved. Rong Guang and Glory piled up smiling faces and bowed their hands to congratulate: "Congratulations!"

"What are you happy about..." Rong Hui stood under the door and said with a bitter face, "Whoever wants to give it to? Here you is, here you..." handed the colorful book to the two of them, and he wanted to cry.

"Don't..." The two brothers quickly waved their hands and refused: "You'd better be useful!" With such a disturbance, the three of them were relieved.

Rongguang immediately greeted: "Let's go back to Ziwei Pavilion first." Rong Hui sighed and quickly followed.

Mei Cai and other clothes waited under the "hanging flower door" and saw Rong Hui coming back with colorful books. Their eyes were dark, and they saluted one after another: "Congratulations, Second Master!"

Rong Hui looked in his eyes, sighed, nodded and ordered, "Men and women in the inner and outer courtyard, each reward one or two." Entering the door, I saw the bear running against the chicks. I smiled and asked, "Are you also here to ask for a reward?" I found that the bear was fat again, like a meatball, and I couldn't help laughing: "Eat, eat... You know how to eat!" Seeing that the chick has also grown a lot, yellow, hairy and particularly cute, I couldn't help reaching out to point its mouth. The chick looked up to peck. Rong Hui turned his fingers away and teased it twice before standing up straight and going straight to the Ziwei Pavilion.

The family gathered in the middle hall for lunch. Li's mother left Sister Xin and Sister Yun to take a nap and told Zhou to go to the glorious wedding. Glory will also go back to the house for a lunch break and say goodbye first. Li Yuning called his children to go to the study to talk.

He wore a cashmere scarf and a deep jujube red silk coat. He sat in front of the carved round table, picked up the blue and white porcelain cup and sipped it gently. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Second, what are you going to do?"

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Just take care of it!" Rong Hui was upset and answered casually with tea: "Marry a wife, eat and dress. One is also married, and two are also married, but more pairs of chopsticks and a few feet, let them make trouble!"

Rong Xue wore a green arm and held the jade shaft in her hand. She looked at it several times and couldn't help but suspect: "What is this gift of needle and knot?"

"I don't even know here!" Rong Hui held the tea cup and smiled softly: "Hunti, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels secretly. Have you read it?"

"Of course I know it's 'piercing a needle' and 'begging skill'." Rong Xue's eyes were bright, her eyes wide open, and she said, "That is to say, the emperor has set an auspicious day for next year's 'Qixi'?"

The light flashed in everyone's minds and was refreshed. Li Yuning said, "That is to say, when will we marry the Chen girl in our own hands?"

"Yes!" Rong Guang was remorsed and nodded in favor: "As long as Miss Chen comes through the door and can take the feed first and stand firm, things will be much easier in the future."

"What is it!" Rong Hui was listless and muttered to himself, "I used to pass through the door for a day, but now I still score a few times. It's not troublesome."

"Oh, second brother!" Rong Guang patted his thigh and persuaded him, "We also want you to live with Chen's sister first. When that 'Yuanjun' comes, you will give him a voice. If you don't love her, just leave her aside and leave her alone!"

"Hey hey!" Rong Hui was absent-minded and counted the floating leaves in the cup and muttered, "That's your sister-in-law. Is there anyone who speaks like this?"

"Good, good!" Rong Guang admitted his coward on the spot: "That's what I said wrong, okay!"

"Big boss, ignore him!" Li Yuning proposed righteously, "This matter should be sooner rather than later. Set the auspicious period on October 10, let your mother-in-law be the matchmaker and immediately propose marriage to the Chen family." Rong Hui had a headache when he heard it. He went to the lounge chair and sat down. He didn't want to say a word.

The father and son got along well, and Rong Guang nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll let her go back to her mother's house in a minute!"

Li Panning also ordered Rong Xue: "Go and clean up the main courtyard. You can return the old things to the old house. Isn't the back room of the study always empty? There can also be a part of it. And the courtyard by the lake under the mountain is under renovation, and part of it can also be saved. Rong Hui felt bitter in his heart, lying on the chair and swaying, listening and falling asleep.

After a little discussion, the father and son acted separately. Rong Guang asked Zhou to go back to his mother's house and asked his mother-in-law to be the matchmaker. Zhou remembered that Xiaoxuan's matchmaker was also made by her mother. She smiled and went there happily. Rong Guang went to the front yard to arrange ceremonies, buy, send messages to the Chen family, and send invitations to various places.

Under the scorching sun, Rong Xue went to the main courtyard and went straight into the back room. When Mei Li saw her come in, she saluted one after another: "Big girl!"

Rong Xue nodded and said, "You all come. I have something to discuss with you." With that, he went straight into the front hall and sat down on the couch. Mei Li and others came together in maple-patterned bright yellow half arms and phoenix-tailed trousers, saluted Rong Xue and shouted "big girl" together.

Rong Xue stretched out her hand and asked to sit down: "We are not outsiders. I will say what I said directly." Seeing the women bowing their heads one after another, they sighed and said seriously, "The imperial edict is clearly written that 'Chengquan Yuanjun' will enter the door next year's Qixi Festival. But my second brother is frustrated and doesn't want to talk about the inner house at all. She is the apple of Chunshen Lingjun's eye. If she gets bigger, we won't have a good life. Just now, after discussing with my father and eldest brother, I decided to marry the Chen girl first. If she can win my second brother's heart, she can not only offend the Huang family, but also suppress the lady. The auspicious period is set on October 10th. What do you think?

The women raised their heads and looked at each other. Mei Qi first asked, "What does the second master think?"

Rong Xue nodded and told the truth, "My second brother lay listening to us and fell asleep!" He continued to say, "Dad means that the 'Insurable Pavilion' is the place where they have lived together for the longest time, and now it's empty. It's better to put things back there. There are also other courtyards at the foot of the mountain and old houses in the mountains, which can put things. A word is like a bone in the throat, and the breathing is stagnant.

Everyone's heart was sore when they heard it, and tears fell straight down. Mei Li covered her mouth and said, "Let's listen to the girl."

"That's good!" Rong Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are most familiar with the placement of the 'Infinable Pavilion'. Just regulate it by yourself." Seeing that everyone bowed their heads, they sighed and got up and left.
