Chapter 415 – The Great Sheriff
Zheng Yu wore his wedding clothes and a large red flower, smiling like a silly boy.
He came to the bride and laughed, “Jumbo, I’ve come to fetch you.”
The head topped with the red cover drooped slightly.
Little Jumbo would also be shy?
Not only Zheng Yu, Jiang Yishi and Meng Zhimo and Li Kai on the side were all quite puzzled.
The bridesmaid helped Li Zhenbao up, and together with Zheng Yu came to the hall room, both kneeling in front of the King of Yong.
King Yong choked and said, “Son-in-law, Bao’er is this king’s heart, you can’t let her suffer a single bit of wrongdoing.”
Zheng Yu kowtowed and said, “Please don’t worry father-in-law, my son-in-law will love Zhen Bao with all his heart and do everything he can to make her happy and joyful.”
King Yong couldn’t hold back any longer, and tears fell from his eyes. “You have to keep your word.”
Zheng Yu said firmly, “My son-in-law will do what he says, and those present are all witnesses.”
Li Zhenbao hyun said, “Father ……”
King Yong could not see his daughter’s face and knew that she was crying. Coaxed, “Bao’er does not cry, marrying is a joyous event, you have to honor your in-laws, who let you suffer, just go home and tell your father ……”
He couldn’t say it anymore and cried out.
Li Kai rushed over and said, “Sister, big brother carried you on the sedan chair.”
Li Zhenbao kowtowed to the King of Yong, got up and climbed on Li Kai.
The palanquin and the sound of silk and bamboo faded away, and the daughter came back to her mother’s home. The King of Yong cried more and more sad, more than all the mothers who married their daughters.
Several of the princes watching the ceremony were angry and amused, talking to persuade him.
An older prince asked, “I heard that the emperor still has a reward for little Zhenbao?”
Everyone muttered in their hearts, “He won’t reward a princess, will he? If the princess is sealed to build a princess residence, Zheng Yu is the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team and will no longer be in charge of the army.
Prince Yong heard, heart again better. Zhen Bao Er has that special title, even if he is no longer there, as long as she does not disobey the king, no one dares to bully her.
Wave after wave of laughter emanated from Zheng Shaobao’s mansion, Xinyue Xuan.
Under the guidance of the bridesmaid, the groomer and the bride had just completed the rituals of tying the buns and drinking the fm radio, when a granny from the outer courtyard ran in to report.
“Great Master, Great Grandmother, the Emperor’s Holy Decree and the Empress Dowager’s Forbidden Decree have come, the Old Master invites you to receive the decree.”
The crowd knew that it was the Emperor’s and Empress Dowager’s rewards that had come, and there was another burst of congratulations.
Zheng Yu and Li Zhenbao went to the outer courtyard, where incense and eucalyptus had been set up in front of the ceremonial gate, and Zheng Lao Shaobao and Zheng Song and the others were waiting.
Zheng Yu and Li Zhenbao kneeled down to receive the decree.
The emperor named Li Zhenbao as the Grand County Lord and Zheng Yu as Marquis of Cheng En. The Empress Dowager praised Li Zhenbao and rewarded her with many goodies.
The title of “Grand County Lord” was not there before, the Emperor should be Empress Dowager’s request for Li Zhenbao. Enjoy the same treatment as the Princess, but without some of the restrictions of the Princess.
Zheng Yu as a “marquis”, than “extra horse harnessed by the side of a team of the side of a team of lieutenants” title is even higher.
The Zheng family’s popularity can be said to be unrivaled for a while, people present at the meeting all voiced congratulations.
Zheng was so excited that he arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said, “The emperor’s grace is immense, the emperor’s grace is immense.”
Li Zhenbao knew that she would be named “Grand Sheriff”, but did not realize that she had also given Zheng Yu a title, her heart was grateful.
After sending the chamberlain away, Zheng Yu sent Li Zhenbao back to Xinyue Xuan before going to the front yard to drink with the guests.
The guests all went to eat the wedding banquet, Cun Cun and Yin Er just do not go.
Cun Cun said, “I’m not going, I want to eat with my godmother.”
As soon as Auntie Zhenbao gets married, they’ll have to change their name to “Godmother”.
Yin’er added, “And I want to sleep with my godmother.”
Her words made everyone laugh.
Zhao Qiu Yue joked, “If that were to happen, General Zheng would still beat you out.”
Meng Second Grandma and Meng Third Grandma stifled their laughter and coaxed the two children out with a lot of persuasion.
Only at the end of the eleventh hour did Meng Zhimo bring the two children back to the Floating Life Residence.
Having not seen their mother for a whole day, the two children slipped out of their nurse’s arms and ran to hug their mother.
Yin’er glutinously said, “The bride is pretty.”
CunCun wasn’t interested in pretty, and obtained a red packet from his arms and handed it over to Jiang YiShi, “Mother, my son earned this, filial piety to mother.”
This was the large red packet he had earned from rolling in bed.
The nursemaid laughed, “The slave girl said to help elder brother receive it, elder brother was unwilling, must carry it himself, but also hand it over to great grandmother.”
Jiang Yishi smiled and kissed her, “What a good son.”
After the mother and son made out for a while, the subordinates took Cun Cun and Yin Er to rest.
Jiang Yishi said to Meng Zhimo, “Xun’s bride price was prepared at 10,000 taels of silver, I want to take another 8,000 taels of private silver, and load him up with 18,000 taels.”
When the family was divided, Jiang Xun got ten thousand taels of silver, the old lady helped the second house to keep the property only gave Jiang Xun half, that is, two thousand and five hundred taels of silver and part of the ornaments. Jiang Xun property and renovation of the yard spent some money, almost out of pocket only to get out of ten thousand taels of silver for the bride price.
As far as Jiang Yishi knows, the Zheng family and the Grand Princess Palace to Zheng Tingting’s dowry has 30,000 taels of silver.
So a comparison, Jiang Xun’s bride price difference is a little more.
The Jiang family’s original potential is low, Jiang Yishi wants to make Jiang Xun’s bride price slightly better.
Meng Ruimo laughed and said, “Your private room, how do you want to use how to use. Eighteen thousand two is not as good as twenty thousand two, I’m a brother-in-law and then post two thousand two.”
Jiang Yishi smiled sweetly, “I have quite a lot of private room nowadays, I’ll take ten thousand taels directly.”
In addition to the output of the fields, every year on the food to earn a few thousand taels of silver, South Wind Pavilion business is very good, Li Zhenbao after the opening of a few workshops she has 10% of the shares.
She is now earning nearly ten thousand taels of silver per year.
She wanted to take ten thousand taels of silver out before, and didn’t want people to say that she cared too much about her mother’s family before she reduced it to eight thousand taels.
Meng Zhimo laughed, “When a brother-in-law marries his daughter-in-law, when a brother-in-law should also contribute, I’ll put up those two thousand taels.”
?
The next evening, Meng Ruimo went down to the government office and called Jiang Xun to the Duke of Cheng Mansion, saying that his sister was looking for him.
After the meal, Meng Ruimo took the child to go out to eliminate food, Jiang Yishi handed Jiang Xun ten thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Xun face red, shook his head and refused, “Where is the bride price for sister and brother-in-law to help out. The Zheng family and Tingting know that I am poor and won’t care if the bride price is small.”
Jiang Yishi scolded, “Your parents are gone, your sister is the closest person to you, why can’t you contribute some money? The Zheng family and Tingting don’t care, but others will gossip. Tingting is a good girl, don’t let her suffer in any way ……”
After doing half a day’s work, Jiang Xun accepted it. He also said, “Count it as me borrowing from my sister, I’ll return it when I have money.”
Jiang Yishi shook his head and said, “Out of the ordinary, it is sister and brother-in-law sent you, no need to return.”
She said, “I owe you from my previous life.
The two of them discussed how to place a bride price, Jiang Xun before leaving.
Li Zhenbao returned to her mother’s home on the tenth day of August.
Because Jiang Yishi is her righteous sister, Li Zhenbao biological mother is not in, the Yong Wang Wang specially let someone send a letter to Jiang Yishi, please go to the Yong Wang House on the tenth day of the first day of the month.
