358: Before the banquet (1 more)
The third prince wanted to take care of Cui Peng's money, but Cui Peng dared not refuse to give it to him.
Fortunately, Cui Peng can make more money in the business world than before under the banner of the third prince's subordinates, and Cui Peng can still meet the needs of the third prince.
A banquet for thousands of years, many princes have their own achievements, and the entire capital became lively.
While Cui Peng was raising money for the third prince, the Cui family was rushing to the capital.
Cui Yan wrote to him that he agreed to the marriage between his sister Wu Niang and Zhou Heng, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui would bring their daughter to Beijing. The family of three should not return to Xuandu Mansion in the short term, so naturally there would be a lot of luggage to be packed.
What to do if you have a half-house gold bricks?
After some discussion with Mr. Cui, Mrs. Cui decided to take half of the gold bricks to the capital.
Cui Yan's career has just begun and needs some money to manage. At this time, we can't do it anymore.
The couple packed their luggage during the day and squatted in the house to pry bricks at night.
The bricks on the wall cannot move, and the house will collapse once they move. However, all the bricks on the ground were pried up by Mr. Cui, dragged them to the bank with a carriage, and directly stored in the bank... If you want to deposit such a large amount of money in the bank safely, in addition to Cui Yan's reputation as a Jinshi, Master Cheng Wu must have the help of Master Cui. Mr. Cui's previous connections were not in Xuandu Mansion, and after Cui Peng took over the Cui family, Mr. Cui's connections were basically abandoned.
Mr. Cheng Wu was not surprised that Mr. Cui could make such a big sum of money.
It’s strange if you don’t have it at all. Mr. Cui is a big businessman who started from scratch. He can’t leave any way out. He has three holes. This money seems to be a lot, and it may not be Mr. Cui’s entire family background.
However, what Mr. Cheng Wu could not have imagined was that Mr. Cui had pried half of the gold bricks deposit house, and the remaining half had only sent two old servants to stay, patted his butt and took his wife and daughter to Beijing.
Those who went to Beijing with the Cui family were Zhou Heng's mother and Zhou Heng's sister.
Cui Wuniang and Zhou Heng are about to get married, and Zhou’s mother’s testimony is indispensable.
Mrs. Cui originally wanted to test whether her mother-in-law was easy to get along with for her daughter, but after only two days of traveling with Zhou's mother, Mrs. Cui completely stopped.
Zhou's mother used to be a scholar. She brought her daughters to raise silkworms and spin them for Zhou Heng to study every day. She was used to doing things with her head and was not the kind of village woman who was sharp-tongued.
After getting on the boat, Zhou's mother was in a trance and depressed. Mrs. Cui was concerned, and then Zhou Heng's sister blushed and told:
"My mother was worried that there would be no owner at home and the group of chickens and ducks she raised was not taken care of. When she went to the capital, she would probably not be able to return to Nanyi until the rice harvest."
“…”
After Zhou Heng passed the imperial examination, the Zhou family was different from ordinary villagers.
Some people bring land and money to join, and some sell themselves, so naturally they have slaves.
However, Zhou's mother was worried about handing over everything to her slaves, and she still had to work with Zhou Heng's sisters, but she was not as tired as before.
Mrs. Cui knew that she was in vain when she heard this. Zhou Heng's mother was thinking about the family business in the countryside and she would not have lived in the capital for a long time.
When Wu Niang and Zhou Heng became relatives, the Zhou family was not in the capital, so Zhou Heng had to go more with the Cui family.
Although Cui Wuniang is married, it is almost the same as not married!
After finishing Wu Niang's marriage, she will find a virtuous wife for Cui Yan, and maybe she will be able to hold her grandson soon.
Mrs. Cui thought about such a scene and her eyes narrowed.
Mr. Cui didn't think about these trivial matters of family matters.
Cui Yan was a Jinshi in the second grade in high school. Mr. Cui was so happy that his body became much stronger. He was in a good mood and recovered quickly. Mr. Cui actively treated his illness and exercised actively. Now he had no major problems with walking, but he still had an arm that could not use strength.
These are all trivial matters, and he doesn't have to move the goods in person.
My son is so successful, Mr. Cui can't pull him back.
Cui Yan not only needs to be an official, but also a high-ranking official.
Mr. Cui was thinking about how to make more money to pave the way for Cui Yan!
The Xianglu business can still be kept, but it is only enough to make some money. It is unlikely to be rich and prosperous. When you arrive in the capital, you have to think of other ways.
Mr. Cui Laifu is still full of confidence when he is middle-aged.
This time, when the three of the Cui family went to Beijing, in addition to taking Zhou Heng's mother and sister, as well as the family of Wuhan University, Mr. Cheng Wu sent more than a dozen servants to escort the Cui family and his group to Beijing. These servants would not return to Nanyi when they arrived in the capital and would stay with Cheng Qing.
Leaving his hometown, the servants did not resist at all.
They silently took care of Wuhan University's family along the way.
I heard that Wu Da was seriously injured in saving Master Cheng Qing. Master Cheng Qing spent a lot of money to rescue Wu Da. Not only that, Master Cheng Qing also promised to remove the child of Wu Da and teach Wu Da’s son to study... Just like Master Cheng Qing, like the fifth master, will not treat the people below unfairly. The servants are not only unresisting from following Cheng Qing’s orders in the future, but are also looking forward to it!
Cui Yan only wrote a letter to his home after passing the Jinshi. It was almost May that the Cui family received the letter, so they packed their bags. It was early May when they actually set off.
The entire capital was lively because of the Queen's Feast.
The ninth day of the fifth month, the eve of the feast of thousands of years.
Cheng Qing checked the process of Qianqiu Banquet again.
She looked at the rotation of the party and frowned: "How can Jinyiwei change people temporarily?"
The Jinwu Guard and the Jinyiwei took turns to this Qianqiu Banquet, but there was nothing on the Jinwu Guard. The Jinyiwei took a slight change. A general flag was replaced, and the new top was Yu San!
"Mr. Cheng, the original general flag was seriously ill, so the Jinyiwei sent General Flag to the top..."
Is he suffering from an acute illness, or is Luo Jun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, making trouble?
What else Cheng Qing wanted to say? Xiao Yunting came over and pulled away the Jinyiwei's rotating list from her hands.
"Mr. Luo has informed the prince in advance and will do this according to this new list."
Cheng Qing didn't want to deliberately block Yu San's way forward. She was afraid of making any mistakes. Someone used her relationship with Yu San to get involved.
Since Luo Tongzhi had already greeted Xiao Yunting, Xiao Yunting personally agreed, so he couldn't blame Cheng Qing for being the one who would go with the flow!
The details of Qianqiu Banquet were cumbersome, and the Jinwu Guard and the Jinyiwei who were on the rotation were called by Cheng Qing. Cheng Qing repeatedly confirmed which direction each person was responsible for.
According to the list, each name is called, people must stand out from the team. Not only should Cheng Qing see clearly, but all the officials of Honglu Temple and Guanglu Temple on duty tomorrow should remember these faces and beware of the mermaids' eyes being mixed.
The first is to check the rotating guards.
The second is to test the palace servants who were in charge of Qianqiu Banquet.
Cheng Qing divided the three palace people into a group. Anyone in the same group had bad intentions, and the three of them would sit together!
There is also an imperial kitchen, which dishes are made by which imperial kitchen and who is responsible for the wine and drinks. All of them must be confirmed.
An official from the Honglu Temple felt that Cheng Qing was holding a chicken feather as an arrow, making the process of Qianqiu Banquet too complicated.
Cheng Qing just disagreed with the temporary replacement of the Jinyiwei rotating list, which alarmed Luo Jun himself. Luo Jun came over and looked at him for a while, and smiled at Xiao Yunting:
Chapter completed!
