Chapter 3285 Extra1
At the end of David Ming'an's second year, the capital was really bustling with activity. First, the triumphant army returned to Beijing, and within a few days, it was the Chinese New Year again.
Three years after entering Ming'an, the excitent has not diminished at all. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the eight long streets in the capital were lit up with colorful lights like stars, illuminating the capital as bright as day and making the capital more prosperous than in the Chu Dynasty.
Master, madam, young master, young lady, this box is too heavy. Please put it down quickly and let the young n carry it. Shopkeeper Chen and his assistants stood by to persuade the Dongweng family who suddenly ca to work.
"Old Chen, shut up quickly. It will be terrible if the noble people hear that we are fake clerks!" Dongjia Zheng stared at them and solemnly explained: "From now on, except for Lao Chen, all other clerks will go out to hang out. Lantern market, leave the work in the shop to us. It's just selling so incense, candles and lanterns, we can do that."
Just obey my orders, otherwise Ill fire you!
The boss has spoken out and given generous gifts, and the guys are happy to obey.
After the guys left, Zheng Dongjia said to the shopkeeper: "Old Chen, I got news that Duke Qin's family and Duke Ying's family will disguise themselves as common people tonight and co to our Nancheng to visit the lantern market... I heard that His Majesty's family is also very likely to It will co, maybe we will be lucky enough to et it...Don't shout, don't shout, don't make any noise!"
He also said: "Call your children too. If you et him, it will be a lifeti blessing."
Shopkeeper Chen was shocked, but said: "Master, where did you hear this news? Is it reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable. I got this news from..." Zheng Dongjia lowered his voice and said, "I bought it from Mrs. Changfu for one hundred taels of silver~"
This, you are indeed deceived.
Mrs. Changfu is the Chen family. She has never been reliable. If you believe her, you might as well put up an incense table and pray to God.
But the boss and his family were in high spirits. As a migrant worker, shopkeeper Chen was sensible and did not disappoint. Instead, he said: "Young man understands and will cooperate with the boss."
The Zheng family was very happy and made a promise: "If you can et the noble man tonight, the Zheng family will support you for a hundred years."
"Thank you, boss!" Shopkeeper Chen quickly thanked him, and he was looking forward to it...what if he got lucky, right?
However, the Chen family was indeed unreliable. Qin Luowei and his family did not co to Nancheng at all. Instead, they went to Xichengfang City. They took their children shopping for more than an hour, went to more than a dozen shops, and even ate at a stall. sweet dumpling.
The kid from the glutinous rice dumpling stall owners family got a lantern from Prince Qin, so he is really lucky!
As soon as the news spread the next day, the people who had bought the news from Chen beca angry and tried to stop Chen to ask for an explanation.
But Chen learned wisely and signed deeds with everyone who bought the news. Each deed had a sentence: There is no guarantee that you will et the noble person. Whether you can et the noble person or not depends entirely on your own luck. The seller is not responsible. No refunds.
rogue!
The buyers scolded Mr. Chen bloody.
But Mrs. Chen didn't care at all. She happily counted the banknotes at ho and said to Gu Dagui who ca to question her: "How can you bla ? I told them that I won't keep the truth, and I won't keep the truth. But in order to curry favor with His Majesty, they Its better to spend money to buy it, then you are being cheated.
Moreover
I sell all my news to wealthy families who have no shortage of money. I dont sell it to those whose families are living a diocre life.
What a conscience.
"Mom, have you finished counting? How much did you earn?" Gu Dewang asked.
Mr. Chen was so proud that she waved a stack of banknotes to show off to him: "I made 6,330 taels, and more than a dozen companies gave preferential prices, otherwise I would have made a full 7,000 taels!"
"There are quite a lot of them. Mom is indeed a good at picking up side deals." Gu Dewang boasted, and with a move of his arm, he snatched all the banknotes from Chen's hand. Before Chen got mad, he said, "Mom, Your buying and selling of His Majesty's whereabouts is a serious cri of genocide. For the sake of your relatives, Your Majesty exempted our family from the death penalty. However, the stolen money will be confiscated and your salary will be forfeited for three years. If you dare to commit the cri again, your title as a third-grade wife will be revoked."
What?
Ms. Chen was confused, and felt that Gu Dewang was lying to him, so she smiled and said: "Stop fooling around and return the banknote to mom quickly. Mom still has to save money to hold a wedding banquet for you and Xiaoxinghua."
"Haha, Xiao Xinghua and I both have money. We don't need to use my mother's money to hold a wedding banquet." Gu Dewang shouted outside: "Master Shi, co in and get the criminal!" "Thank you, Master Gu." The black-faced man Lord Shi ca in with prison guards ard with swords, pointed at Chen and said, "Take this criminal to the Criminal Departnt for trial!"
"Gu Dewang, I'm your mother, and you're actually serious!" Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Gu Dagui and said, "Take the banknotes, take them all, I don't want them anymore, and I won't dare to do it anymore."
Only then was Gu Dewang satisfied, and reminded her: "Mom, when you go back to your hotown to show off, don't make any promises to the folks. Our family's current status, if you say a wrong word, it may lead to catastrophe. You know Yet?"
Mrs. Chen: "You think I'm stupid, but I'm so smart that even profiteers have to kowtow to !"
Gu Dewang then went to negotiate with Master Shi and sent the people from the Punishnt Departnt away.
Chen Shi was so busy that she was almost furious. When she t Gu Defa, she jumped up and cursed: "You brat, if you don't prepare well for the exam, where did you go? If you don't get the top prize, I will never end it with you!"
Gu Defa was helpless: "Mom, I have been writing strategies in my yard. It's dinner ti, so I went out to eat."
Wrong scolding? Even that doesnt admit it!
Gu Defa said again: "Mom, don't think too highly of . I can't get the top prize, but I can get to the bottom, which is pretty good... It doesn't matter if I fail the exam. Anyway, if I fail, I will go back to the household departnt and work as an errand."
It blocked everything Chen expected to say.
Mrs. Chen was so angry that smoke was burning on her head: "I can't stay with you any longer. I'm going to see Sister Xiaoxin, but don't co to !"
I went to Gu Dexing's house, hugged Sister Xiaoxin, and cried to Xu Zhong about Gu Dewang's plot against her.
Xu Zhong comforted her with kind words, but her worried heart dropped... When she learned that her aunt was selling information, she was frightened and hurried to tell her husband.
Her husband told her not to worry and let her aunt do the work. She would be taught a lesson after the work was completed.
And His Majesty knew about this and did not stop it. He just asked his aunt to help divert the attention of the people in the capital so that Your Majesty and the Qin family and the Luo family could have a good ti.
On the sa day, after Wei Xiao saw the more than 6,000 taels of silver notes, he imagined Chen's deflated appearance and felt comfortable. He turned around and gave the silver notes to the Ministry of Rites: "An extra gift for the military generals who are getting married recently."
"Yes." The officials of the Ministry of Rites happily took away the banknotes and were busy with the marriage of the generals.
The excitent in the capital continues. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Hong Dao and Wu Qinyi got married.
Before Hong Dao got married, he was awarded the title of General Wu'an of the second rank. He married the queen's cousin. The wedding was held with great grandeur, and all the nobles from the capital ca. The palace also gave valuable gifts, which made all the guests in the hall extrely envious. Mr. Hong's face was also glowing, and he was very proud of his grandson.
Xiao Chenggong was sour again. After returning ho from the wedding banquet, he said to Su Yongshu: "I'm sorry, wife. If I were more capable, our wedding would be much more beautiful."
Su Yongshu was very happy that Xiao Chenggong thought of her everywhere, but: "Husband, you can't think like this. Everyone has their own achievents. If you only look at the ones at the top, you won't be able to live your life... We are now The days have been great.
They were married in their twenties, and a few days before the wedding, my husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law and brother-in-law were all promoted, and the Ministry of Rites also sent congratulatory gifts. It was already a great sight, and my aunt was so happy that she shed tears and said that she had found her. A good marriage.
After being coaxed by his wife, Xiao Chenggong beca more motivated again. He read the books on military resources managent given by the Ministry of War at night.
The next day, the 19th day of the first lunar month, the eldest son of General Liu was officially canonized as Duke of Jin. General Xiao Liu was granted the title of Duke of Yan. The Liu family had two Dukes, and they were both in the lilight.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Bu Fang got married to the concubine of Magistrate Li, which was another lively event.
