488 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon
Outside the post station, the carriage of Cui's Mansion was already waiting outside, and Zheng Peng, who looked puzzled, followed Zhang Jiuling into the carriage together.
It's always weird to see yourself at this time.
Zheng Peng wanted to ask Zhang Jiuling a little, but he didn't expect that after Zhang Jiuling got into the carriage, he looked at his nose and nose, and knew whether he was sitting in meditation or sleeping, and he still didn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.
Forget it, you will know when you get to the ground, it's a big deal that the soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the earth.
The carriage kept going, and when Zheng Peng lifted the curtain in the carriage, he inadvertently saw the carriage enter the mansion directly from the back door of Cui's mansion.
What's the matter, Cui Yuan didn't allow himself to meet Lu Shu in front of him, and he will greet him tomorrow, what does it mean to secretly call himself here? Reconcile or threaten yourself to treat Lushu better?
When Zheng Peng's thoughts were like electricity, the carriage had stopped.
After getting out of the carriage, I didn't think that Cui Yuan was waiting not far from the carriage.
"Cui Yushi, congratulations." As soon as Zhang Jiuling saw Cui Yuan, he immediately said with a smile.
"Hard work, Zhang Sheren" After Cui Yuan finished saluting Zhang Jiuling, he quickly said with a smile: "The old man has prepared thin wine, please Zhang Sheren go and enjoy it first, and then I will have a chat with my future grandson-in-law for a while, and then go to drink a few glasses with Zhang Sheren." ”
As soon as Zhang Jiuling heard that Cui Yuan had a personal matter with Zheng Peng, he said politely, and quickly followed a maid down to enjoy the drinks and snacks first.
Now Cui Yuan and Zheng Peng are almost a family, and some things are not good for them to observe, so they winked at Zheng Peng before leaving.
It's hard to say that you hate, but there must be feelings of envy and jealousy in that look.
The inheritance of more than 1,000 years of Wang family, houses, repairs, servants, furnishings, etc., are all first-class good, at a glance there is a different feeling from the place, this is the heritage of the millennium family.
There is only one person in the third room of the Boling Cui family, what is that, a lone seedling on a thousand hectares of fertile land, marry her, these are Zheng Peng's in the future, what is this called, you can work hard for a few lifetimes.
"Cui Laohao, I don't know what to tell you to call the juniors so late?" Zheng Peng took the initiative to step forward and said.
At this time, Zheng Peng was really a little at a loss, mainly because the person he was facing was Cui Yuan, who had always been at odds with him, if it weren't for tomorrow, it would be the day to welcome his relatives, and it would be less than ten hours before he became a family, Zheng Peng really thought that Zhang Jiuling had sold himself.
Cui Yuan suddenly laughed, patted Zheng Peng and said, "It's almost a family, and you still call Cui Lao so polite, if you don't see the outside, call me the eldest father like Shu'er." ”
In his memory, Zheng Peng remembered that this was the first time Cui Yuan smiled at himself, although the smile was very strong, Zheng Peng really had a feeling of hair in his heart.
Yes, it's almost a family, this old boy laughs, how can he look like a weasel.
“... Father," Zheng Peng said stiffly.
"Okay, good" Cui Yuan's old face smiled even more, the wrinkles on his face opened layer by layer, it was a blooming chrysanthemum, and after laughing, he said to Zheng Peng with a kind face: "Good grandson-in-law, don't be nervous, I called you here so late, but there are too many dowries to prepare, and you also know that from Boling to Yuancheng, there are more than 800 miles, and it is inconvenient to transport, so let you pick some like to load and transport them first." ”
Too much dowry to prepare?
When Zheng Peng heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart: no money is too much, the dowry is Lu Shu's own money, Zheng Peng has no thoughts, but it is not a bad thing for Lu Shu to have more dowry.
I don't know what to say, but when I say it, I seem to be greedy; It's not good to say, but those dowries are with Lu Shu, and they shouldn't be said by themselves.
However, Cui Yuan didn't wait for Zheng Peng to speak, and took the lead in the front, Zheng Peng hesitated, and finally followed quickly.
The place where you get off the carriage should be a side courtyard where things are stored in Cui Mansion, and there is a row of warehouses in the side courtyard, and each warehouse is guarded.
The people guarding the warehouse of "Lang Jun" saw Cui Yuan and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Cui Da, the big butler who followed behind, ordered: "Open the door." ”
The servant answered, immediately opened the door, and stepped aside.
"Cui Da, you can introduce Feiteng." Cui Yuan commanded.
"Yes, Lang Jun" Cui Da responded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Peng: "Future uncle, please here." ”
It felt a little weird, but Zheng Peng still had the mentality of visiting to see what dowry the famous family had.
As soon as he entered, Zheng Peng saw a flower in front of him, and saw hundreds of square warehouses full of silk, as soon as he entered, it seemed like he was in a silk village.
Cui Da introduced: "Uncle in the future, this warehouse is dedicated to silk satin, the left and right are Shu brocade, the right is the best silk produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the middle is the palace satin given to Lang Jun by the emperor over the years. ”
Zheng Peng said with some surprise: "So much silk, how to divide it." ”
"This is very simple, the color of Shu brocade is gorgeous, the silk in Suzhou and Hangzhou is known for its quality, and the palace silk is both."
Seeing that Zheng Peng was a little puzzled, Cui Da introduced: "Take Shu brocade as an example, specifically refers to the silk jacquard brocade produced in Shu, mostly woven with dyed cooked silk thread, with warp threads, using color strips to color or color stripes to add flowers, weaving into various patterns, very exquisite, future uncle, you see, this pile is the big red Shu brocade, this pile is the big blue Shu brocade, this pile is the flower rich Shu brocade, this pile is the hundred flowers and Yan Shu brocade, this pile is the two dark flowers carved cloud pattern Shu brocade....."
Cui Da was like a few treasures, and introduced while walking, Zheng Peng had a headache when he listened.
There are three of the best satins in Datang gathered here, which can be divided into colors, textures, and patterns, and there are hundreds of them, and Zheng Peng was surprised when he heard it.
It's too exquisite.
After visiting the first warehouse, we went to the second warehouse, which was full of furniture.
The furniture inside is readily available, ebony, rosewood, and flower wood made of furniture, there is the same cabinet, and there are several styles, the materials are exquisite, the handiwork is exquisite, and the luxury is extreme.
The third warehouse is filled with jewelry, agate, pearls, various colored gemstones, gold, jade, etc., each of which is of great value, which opened Zheng Peng's eyes.
The fourth warehouse is the most direct, a gold ingot, silver ingots are placed on the shelves, boxes of yellow and clear copper coins are piled up, in addition, there are all kinds of utensils made of gold, such as tableware, utensils, etc., the whole warehouse is brilliant, as if to dazzle the eyes.
When he arrived at the fifth warehouse, Zheng Peng was speechless.
The warehouse is full of beauties, some ordinary maids dressed up, some musicians dressed up, some maiko dressed up, southern beauties, northern beauties, and blonde and blue-eyed beauties, Cui Da said on the side, these maids are all prepared for Lu Shu, Zheng Peng can choose at will, and marry with Lu Shu to the Zheng family.
No, with Cui Yuan's old boy's temper, he will send beautiful women to himself?
Zheng Peng just believes that the sun rises in the west, and he doesn't believe that Cui Yuan is so generous?
What are you doing, you will welcome your relatives tomorrow, relatives and friends are here, and at this time you still have to make such a show for yourself, is it a test?
Zheng Peng saw that Cui Da was about to introduce these beauties, and suddenly interrupted him: "Big housekeeper, wait a minute." ”
"What do you want from my uncle in the future?" Cui Da said respectfully.
Zheng Peng pointed to the beauties in the warehouse, frowned and said, "Big housekeeper, what does this mean?" ”
"This is Lang Jun's arrangement, don't misunderstand my uncle in the future, Miss is married to Yuancheng, she needs someone to take care of her, and she needs to bring some people who can use it well, this is very normal, last year Qinghe Cui's married a girl, and there were more than 1,000 men and maids, but there were only 200 people here, which is really not much." Cui Da said lightly.
In ancient times, slaves were a symbol of wealth, due to the existence of slaves in the Tang Dynasty, every year for various reasons, some people sold themselves into slavery, raising slaves became a trend, and it was normal for the family to have thousands of slaves.
Zheng Peng said with some embarrassment: "These are rare beauties....."
Even if you are a slave to marry, you don't have to gather so many beauties like a beauty pageant, making this place like a concentration camp for beautiful women.
Cui Da lowered his voice and said: "This is Lang Jun's love for his future uncle, some things can be solved at home, so you don't have to go outside to mess with flowers and attract criticism, right." ”
It seems to make a little sense, but, in Cui Yuan's style, he should be holding a big knife and saying contemptally: If you dare to come nonsense, you will be castrated and sent to the palace as a eunuch.
"How's that, are these beauties still eye-catching?" At some point, Cui Yuan suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Zheng Peng arched his hand and said: "Thank you Cui Lao for your kindness, it's just that Feiteng has people you like, and these beauties are afraid that they will not be blessed." ”
The beauty Zheng Peng has seen too much, and Zheng Peng can't move his feet when he sees a beauty.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, whether it is kindness or a test, Zheng Peng is unmoved.
Cui Yuan patted Zheng Peng's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is the kindness of the old man, by the way, why is it called Cui Lao, is it because the dowry is not rich enough, so he is angry?" ”
"No, no, no, the eldest father misunderstood" Zheng Peng said with a straight face: "I married Lu Shu, it was completely out of sincerity, I really don't care about the amount of dowry, Lu Shu married into the Zheng family with the dowry, here I can guarantee that all the goods will be kept by Lu Shu himself, and he will never touch the slightest." ”
If it weren't for the dowry representing a woman's face, Zheng Peng really didn't want it, and now the money he earned was enough to spend.
Cui Yuan smiled, patted Zheng Peng's shoulder and said: "Now Lu Shu is the old man's closest person, and the things here are all hers sooner or later, Feiteng, the old man also knows that you have strong financial resources, but it is not a bad thing to have more money and land around you, there is no dowry that can be handled, where is the face of the Boling Cui family?" If you refuse, you will have a small dowry. ”
Speaking of this, Cui Yuan said proudly: "Don't worry, the old man has already sent someone to buy five granges near Yuancheng, and the title deeds of this grange will also be in the dowry, and the elders will give it, don't dare to resign, understand." ”
Zheng Peng hurriedly explained: "... Father, you misunderstood, really, I don't mind at all how much Lushu's dowry is, but my father's love is very grateful. ”
"The family doesn't talk about the two families, thank you" Speaking of this, Cui Yuan suddenly said with a smile: "Feiteng, the old man has a little matter and wants to discuss it with you." ”
Zheng Peng's heart sank: The drama is here, and I tossed so much tonight, it is estimated that it is to pave the way for this matter.
