Chapter 222 Negotiation
Mrs. Fang patted Jiang Lu gently and said to Xie Yuanxi apologetically: "Mr. Xie laughed. There are only two children in our house, Alu and Jianan. Alu has taken good care of her sister since she was a child. Now she suddenly heard that her sister is going to get married, and she feels very reluctant. She has no other intentions." As she said, she pulled out the employment order handed over by Li Qian from Jiang Lu and took a look.
Two thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver...
Mrs. Fang looked at it and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.
It seems that the rumors are true. The Li family is really rich... but even if they have money, they can't spend it like this!
This is so much to be missed by people!
But at this time, saying this is just a slap in the face - no matter how rich the Jiang family looks, they are just the Li family's in-laws. How the Li family wants to spend money can't be judged by the Jiang family, especially when the two families are just just getting in touch with each other and don't know what the people in the Li family are.
"Mr. Xie will thank you for yourselves for me after he goes back." Mrs. Fang said politely, "We have accepted this gift list. We will have to wait for the date of appointment for two days. The Empress Dowager was worried about the princess, so she specially sent the female official, Aunt Meng, to bring a few auspicious days and hours calculated by the Imperial Heaven. I think it would be better to wait until Aunt Meng comes before making a decision. Mr. Xie, what do you think?"
"It's still the Queen Mother and her wife who thought it carefully." Xie Yuanxi said respectfully, "I'll go back and tell us General Li now."
As they were talking, a little maid ran in and said, "Madam, Aunt Meng is here."
Mrs. Fang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Come in! Come in!"
Xie Yuanxi hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Fang and Jiang Lu took a shower and went out to welcome Meng Fangling.
Meng Fangling wore a veil and led a dozen girls dressed in maids to get off the carriage.
Mrs. Fang looked closely and found that Bai Jie and Qingke were both among them.
"You are..." She couldn't help but look at Meng Fangling in surprise.
Meng Fangling stepped forward to salute Mrs. Fang, laughed in a low voice, "It's the Empress Dowager. I'm afraid that the princess would not get used to marrying the Li family, so she released the palace maids who served by the princess and went to the Li family to serve her."
Everyone has thought of this.
Meng Fangling serves the Empress Dowager. Even when the emperor meets him, he must be polite, let alone Mrs. Fang, who has always been cautious.
She turned sideways and received a half gift from Meng Fangling. Then she smiled and pulled Meng Fangling's hand, and whispered: "I had asked the Empress Dowager to bring a letter to the Empress Dowager before, wanting her to send the Baijie and the Love Guest... It seems that I am still worried."
"Where!" Meng Fangling smiled, "It was because she received a letter from her wife that the Empress Dowager, who had released all the people around the princess, and she also asked them specifically what they meant. In addition to Baijie and Love Guy, there were also a few people who served the princess on weekdays who were willing to go there. Otherwise, they were all those who didn't understand the rules, and the princess was afraid that it would be rare to drink a cup of hot tea."
Mrs. Fang thought of the seventh sister who served Jiang Xian these days and said with a smile: "My son-in-law is also a capable person. Although the sent person is not very wise, he is willing to learn with him and learn quickly..."
After Meng Fangling and Jiang Lu met Li, they both said and went to Jiang Xian’s place.
Jiang Xian was teasing birds under the eaves.
Seeing Meng Fangling jogging over with a smile: "Auntie, you're here. How are the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?"
"It's great, everyone is fine!" Meng Fangling's face couldn't help but show joy.
"Slow down." She stepped forward and held Jiang Xian, looking up and down at her, "The princess looks better than when she was in the palace."
It can be seen that these days are very comfortable.
Jiang Xian laughed and saw Bai Jie and Qingke and others following Meng Fangling with his head down and his eyes down.
"You are here!" She breathed a long sigh and said, "I have been worried about you all these days. Are the orchids I raised in Cining Palace okay? Did the ink chrysanthemums split into branches and moved into pots?"
"Princess!" Everyone saluted Jianan together, Bai Jie smiled and said, "Everything was done as the princess told him when she was in the palace. We scrubbed the leaves of several magnolia flowers every day, and the ink chrysanthemums had branched and moved the pots, and brought half of the princess's collars. We all brought them here together."
"Is that so?!" Jiang Xian happily led them into the hall.
Bai Su rushed over after receiving the news.
The seventh aunts and the others came in to meet Meng Fangling.
Meng Fangling Qian cordially met with them and rewarded the gift. He asked someone to carry the box containing the things that Jiang Xian usually used, and told Bai Jie and others to decorate the place where Jiang Xian lives first.
The few people laughed and said "yes", and the house became energetic and erect.
Jiang Xian had always liked such excitement and couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile.
Meng Fangling saw two small yellow rice stained on Jiang Xian's clothes. Thinking of the scene just now, she smiled and said, "When did the princess raise two orioles? It looks like a black pillow."
"It's the black pillow." Jiang Xian smiled with his lips pursed.
Bai Su couldn't help but: "It was sent by Lord Li two days ago. He said he was afraid that the princess would be bored."
Jiang Xian's face looked slightly embarrassed.
Meng Fangling and Mrs. Fang smiled at each other and changed the topic: "It's a turbulent autumn in the capital. Empress Dowager Cao wanted to make the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anlu as the queen, but the emperor took a fancy to Miss Cai of the Marquis of Jin'an. The Deng family had no intention of letting their daughter enter the palace, but the Cai family stared at the queen's throne, and the Cining Palace suddenly became lively. Today, someone was either led by the Deng family to enter the palace and asked the Empress Dowager to help shirk it, or the Cai family invited someone to enter the palace and asked the Empress Dowager to help plead with her. The Empress Dowager was so annoyed that she was ill in the Cining Palace. "
Jiang Xian couldn't help but exclaim in a small voice.
Meng Fangling hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager is fine, I am just worried about whether the princess is here. She also asked me to bring a letter to the princess." As she said that, the little palace maid who served beside her brought up a small box of rosewood.
Jiang Xian claimed the crime and couldn't wait to open the letter in front of Mrs. Fang and Meng Fangling.
As Meng Fangling said, the Empress Dowager was in good health and ate delicious food. She was worried that Jiang Xian would not be used to living in Shanxi.
After Jiang Xian sent Meng Fangling and Mrs. Fang away, he went back to the house to reply to the Empress Dowager, and asked Qi Sheng to 800 miles and rushed to the palace.
Meng Fangling over there and took a nap. After seeing Mrs. Qi, everyone washed her in the flower hall.
After the meal, Meng Fangling and Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Qi gathered together, while Jiang Xian, Bai Su and the Qi sisters were enjoying the flowers in the yard.
Meng Fangling then had the opportunity to talk about the days set by the Imperial Heavenly Prison: "April 28, May 6, May 24, June 8, June 14... are all good days. If you get a little further away, it will be September. The Empress Dowager feels that it is a bit far away, and the Imperial Heavenly Prison doesn't count."
Mrs. Qi said, "Or the date of appointment is set on April 28th and the date of marriage is set on May 24th?"
Meng Fangling and others can't stay here for long.
Since the Empress Dowager sent her out of the palace, she hoped that the wedding would be held soon. These two days are the closest days to now.
