Chapter 174 Boling's Cui Family Adds Makeup to Thirteen Mothers (1300
The first update is delivered!
Chang'an City is very big, and Zhuque Street alone is ten miles long. There are 100 single eight fangs in the city, and there are also two cities in the east and west.
But I am also young. The team of Shisanniang built a house to deliver makeup to the market, and then the Zheng family followed him to add makeup one by one, hoping to make things known to everyone in the world.
Today is the day before my daughter gets married, and the Cui family is going to send someone to the Zhangjia Shop to give her makeup.
But Cui Shanfu was not interested in this. He did not invite the female relatives from other rooms in Beijing to shop, but just casually assigned Cui Cong's wife, who was a commoner, to go there.
Cui Cong was just a common house next to the Cui family, and he had long fallen to the point of doing business for the Cui family. His wife was not qualified to make a house for Thirteen Niang. He chose such a candidate to actually express his dissatisfaction.
Cui Shanfu was not dissatisfied with this marriage. What he and Wang were dissatisfied with was that he had done everything he could, but in the end he could lose some money. He originally wanted to sell Thirteen Niang to marry the Zhang family, so that he could get a relationship with Qin Qiong and other upstarts, and secondly, he could make a lot of money with his family. Even the Zhang family had a low status, so he could save the dowry and keep Zheng's dowry.
But after all the troubles, the Zhang family was happy to accompany the family and financed, but in the end his daughter was a traitor. He joined forces with the Zheng family and Zhang San, and finally forced him to spit out most of Zheng's dowry.
Thinking about losing a wealth of thousands of yuan, Cui Shanfu felt so painful. Wang's face was even worse all day long. Many maids have done something wrong these days and have been severely punished by her.
In Wang's words, it would be nice to arrange Cui Cong's wife to shop for Thirteen.
A manager of the Cui family lowered his head and reported to Cui Shanfu and Wang carefully what was happening on Chang'an Street with sweat on his face.
"Langjun, the Zheng family in Beijing put makeup on Shisanniang and gave marriage. The family of Xingyang County gave eighteen carriages and one hundred and eight dowry. The other families also gave a lot of them, and the Crown Prince's father also gave makeup, and the Crown Prince's Mansion also gave eight dowry!"
Bang!
Wang directly threw a good Yue porcelain teacup to the ground, and the expensive Yue porcelain teacup broke all over the ground.
The manager who was standing there reporting was splashing a lot of water, but he didn't dare to move it.
During this period, there were many servants who were punished by Wang. One girl was almost beaten to death because she broke a teacup.
Wang's eyebrows stood upright and looked at the manager.
"The Zheng family is too bullying!"
Choi Shanfu also frowned, but he didn't say anything harsh. He waved to the manager, "You go down first."
Mrs. Wang looked at her husband in confusion.
"The Zheng family has been riding on our heads and shit. Do you have to endure this?"
Usually, my husband obeys her, but today it seems a little strange.
Cui Shanfu sighed and said in a deep voice, "Who made the Zheng family take power now? Zheng Shanguo is not only the left concubine of the crown prince, but also the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department. Zheng Yuanshu is also the Taichang Qing and the general of the flag army. The other Zheng families also hold the position of Duke and Marquis and serve in the court. A daughter of the Zheng family married into the East Palace as the crown princess, and now the Zheng family has become a family and a family of tyrants."
Compared to the Zheng family's power in Li Tang, the Cui family is much worse, especially the Cui family in Qinghe, which is far inferior to the Cui family in Boling. The Cui family in Qinghe, which was extremely glorious in the Sui Dynasty in his early years, is now even more down and out.
There are not many people who can hold decent positions in the court, just like Cui Shanfu, who has not even received a title yet. And those who still retain the title of the Cui family have not been able to hold any important positions in the court, and they are all idle positions.
The Cui family is not as powerful as the Zheng family, let alone that the Cui family will not work together to offend the Zheng family for his side branch.
"We can't mess with the Zheng family, but we can't mess with them, but instead bring shame to ourselves."
Wang had a gloomy face. Although he was extremely unhappy, he had to admit what her husband said. During the Sui Dynasty, the Cui family was the mother's family of Empress Dugu's mother, so he was still very important. Especially the Cui family's Zhengzhou house, all the family members were full of ministers, and no family could bear the title of Duke of the State and County.
But in the Tang Dynasty, although the current emperor's mother and Empress Dugu were sisters, and the Cui family and the Li family were also relatives, they had a long relationship after all.
Wang thought to himself that just because of the devastating Cui family, it is indeed not the case to be swayed against the Zheng family, which is in power. Even if it is added to her mother Wang family, it is the same. Moreover, like Cui family, why did Wang stand up for her and offend the Zheng family?
There is a prince standing behind the Zheng family.
"But let's just look at them slap us in the face?"
"You didn't want to give Thirteen Niang a dowry at the beginning. All things are like this, so let him go. It's all our business to give to the Zheng family. Just pretend you don't know."
However, the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of Choi Shanfu and his wife.
What happened on Chang'an City Street was quickly spreading like the wind in the entire Great Wall.
More and more people know about such a marriage, and they also know that Choi Shanfu is actually acting ugly like this.
Cui Mansion, Gu'an County Duke.
After listening to the servant's report, Cui Mingan, the Gu'an County Duke and the counselor, frowned and pondered for a while.
His surname is Cui, but he is not Qinghe Cui, but from Boling Cui. He is the second in the fourth room of Boling Cui. He is currently the Zuo Jianyi doctor of the fourth rank of Menxia Province.
The counselor is in charge of the gains and losses of the counselor, and the servant praises the minister.
It is a relatively confidential official position.
Cui Mingan's great-grandfather was the General of Cheqi of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Minister of Personnel. His grandfather was the General of the Sui Dynasty and Duke of Jijun, and his father was the Minister of Yu of the Sui Dynasty and Duke of Gu'an County.
In terms of the various branches of the Boling Cui in Beijing, Cui Mingan now has the highest official position. Within ten years, he is likely to become the deputy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In twenty years, he may be able to take up the post of Minister of Internal Affairs and become the prime minister of the court.
In recent years, Boling Cui has a good reputation. He is the Cui family as Qinghe Cui, and has five surnames and seven sects, but Boling Cui is still much stronger than Qinghe Cui.
Cui Mingan has always attached importance to family reputation and family style, and has always opposed selling marriages and collecting family wealth. He pays attention to the family's children who study hard and manage disciplines, and become officials in the future to boost their family reputation.
Choi Shanfu sold his marriage and sold it for a sky-high price of 8 million yuan, and even sold his legitimate daughter to a poor family. This is something Choi Min-kan couldn't stand it. But Choi Shanfu was Qinghe Choi, so he couldn't control it.
Now that he heard the farce on Chang'an Street, Cui Mingan felt that his face was burning. Zheng was slapping Cui in the face. Although it was slapping Cui in Qinghe Cui, the onlookers would not care about these things. They would only say that it was Cui. Who cares about you Qinghe Cui or Boling Cui, whether you are a Zhengzhou house or a Zhengzhou house or a certain house.
This idiot Choi Shanfu, so greedy and wealth-keeping, is embarrassing the entire Cui family. It has obviously collected eight million, so it would be great if you just take out a million.
"housekeeper."
"Mr.." The housekeeper came in.
"You make arrangements immediately, prepare some gifts, and add makeup to Cui Shisanniang."
The housekeeper was surprised, Cui Shisanniang had no relatives with our family.
“How much is added?”
"You can add one hundred thousand, but remember to get a few more cars. The best thing is to get six cars and thirty-six picks!"
One hundred thousand yuan is one hundred coins, which is not a big sum of money for Cui Mingan. He only wanted to make a makeup for Cui Shisanniang, but he wanted to express his attitude and to draw a clear line in front of the people of Chang'an City, such idiot Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui Shanfu, so that everyone would not think that Cui's surname is like this at that time.
"Can you do it right away?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, it will take at most half an hour."
"Hurry up."
What Cui Langjun wants is to show his attitude in front of everyone. If everyone is disbanded by then, who will he perform this play for?
"Don't choose gifts any more. Just get more silk cloth and get some copper coins."
Silk cloth takes up more space, and copper coins are heavier.
The housekeeper was still very quick to do business. After going out, he immediately summoned several servants and assigned them tasks, asked them to prepare cars, horses, and cages immediately, gathered men from the mansion, and asked them to move things in the shops and warehouses in Cuijia City.
In just about two quarters of an hour, the Cui family had already gathered up six carriages and thirty-six picks, tied with red silk flowers in the carriage and box cage, and then the Cui family rushed to the Cui family's makeup delivery team.
Today, the team of Shisanniang’s makeup delivery has been walking very slowly because the team of makeup has arrived from time to time. Every time they arrive at the family, Cui Cong has to come over to contact us to welcome the cold and chat.
Therefore, the team stopped and stopped, and after most of the day, they only walked a few miles, and the team was getting longer and longer.
"Oh, there are teams to add makeup again."
"Which team is this?"
"It seems to be from the Cui family."
"What, Cui family, what does it mean to send a dowry at this time?"
When everyone heard that it was from the Cui family, they immediately became excited.
But when we saw that there were only six cars and thirty-six, everyone laughed again.
Cui Shanfu is too stingy. You either don’t give it to you, and everyone respects you. But now he has been slapped in the face by the Zheng family and has come to give it back again, and he only gives it this little. Isn’t this a funny thing? Anyone in the Zheng family has more than you.
After the carriage arrived at the team, Cui Cong also wondered and came forward to greet him.
The manager of Cui Mingan's family got off the carriage in front. With a wave of his hand, the servants of Cui's family immediately signed up loudly next to him.
"The second room of the Cui family in Boling, the left censor, and the Gu'an County Duke Cui Langjun, specially added makeup to Thirteen Niang!"
The loud voices made the people who followed the road watching the fun were stunned.
"Boling Cui family? Why are they here to join in the fun?"
"Damn it, what does this mean? It's not Qinghe Cui's family, but Boling Cui's family. They actually came to join in the fun too?"
"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting."
Cui Cong was also a little dumbfounded. He thought it was Thirteenth Lady's father who felt that he could not afford to face and sent someone to make up for the gifts. Who knew that the one who came was actually the Cui family of Boling.
Cui Mingan, the Gu'an County Duke, is the head of the Boling Cui family in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, he actually sent someone to add makeup!
"I didn't expect that the Cui family in Boling was pretty good, and they actually came to add makeup to Shisanniang at this time."
"The matter of the Boling Cui family is doing beautifully!"
"The Cui family in Boling is a good example!"
Chapter completed!
