"You believe it or not, at worst I can establish a document."

Isn't this woman just trying to make a name for evidence? She wants to catch him, so she is not afraid of barefoot people wearing shoes, and she is not afraid of anything now.

Li Qiniang smiled coldly: "You don't need to set up a letter. I only need one leg and one tongue. One leg is one thousand taels, and one tongue is two thousand taels. Next time you are short of money, just carry the remaining legs to exchange."

Yan Zhaoshan was stunned. No wonder both my mother and Sun were plotted against. He had thought they were too stupid before. Now it seems that this woman named Li was too cruel.

"Your dignified Duke's wife is so cruel..."

Before Yan Zhaoshan finished speaking, Li Qiniang said to the door: "Pearl, destroy one of his legs, cut his tongue, and then handed it to the brothers of the Cao Gang, so that they can throw it as far as they can."

"Okay!"

Pearl came in with a sound, picked up the shovel that had been prepared long ago, raised it high, and slapped Yan Zhaoshan's legs.

Yan Zhaoshan was tied up and could not move. Seeing that the shovel was about to be taken down, he finally knew that Li Qiniang was not just trying to get into her mouth, but that this woman really had to take ruthless action.

"I was asked by someone!" In desperation, Yan Zhaoshan just wanted to keep his legs and tongue, and he didn't want to become disabled.

The shovel stopped in the air, and Li Qiniang sneered: "Dog thief, so brave, you dare to bite others, pearls, and do it!"

With a bang, the shovel hit Yan Zhaoshan's calves. He was in great pain. The shovel in Pearl's hand rose again.

"Really, what I said is true. It was the noble man who asked me to come, it was the noble man!"

Li Qiniang snorted: "Negotiable? Can you see the noble? You are lying at first glance, Pearl, continue!"

Pearl acted and swung a half arc in the air. A bad smell came. Pearl looked down and saw that the yellow liquid was dripping down Yan Zhaoshan's trousers.

Pearl lowered his voice and whispered to Yan Zhaoshan: "Madam is angry, don't talk nonsense anymore, lest she cut your tongue directly. How many people like you, who are ignorant of life and death, will you kill them in a year? Did you see that big bunch of shiver flowers when you enter the door? It was just that you used dead people as flower fat, which bloomed so well."

Yan Zhaoshan was really scared. He was fooled. He shouldn't have followed this kid in. If he was still at the door, just a few shouts would attract a group of people watching the fun. Even if he couldn't get money, he would never lose his life.

But there are only three of them here. This young man must be Li Qiniang's confidant. If he wants to hit someone, he will hit someone. If he wants to kill someone, he will kill someone.

He didn't even have a household registration in the capital. If he died here, he could only make a flowery body silently.

"No, I didn't say nonsense. There are really noble people, it's true! Listen to me, listen to me!"

Li Qiniang winked at Zhenzhu and said to Yan Zhaoshan: "If you dare to tell a lie, you will only die even worse."

Yan Zhaoshan already regretted it. If he had known that this woman was so cruel, then even if the noble man gave him all the 100 taels, he would not have come.

Yan Zhaoshan was like pouring beans on bamboo tubes, and he had all brought them all.

It turned out that two months ago, he was arrested by the county government for stealing two taels of silver from the old lady and was punished to do hard labor in a quarry.

One day, the messenger called him over and said that someone had paid the fine for him, and there was no need to punish the hard labor that followed, and now he can leave.

He came out of the quarry and saw a gorgeous carriage parked not far away.

A man who looked like a manager came over and said that he was a noble man who wanted to ask him a few words.

Through the carriage, the noble man in the carriage asked him about his name, origin, brothers and daughters. He didn't tell the truth at first. The manager who looked very gentle raised his leg and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.

Later, he did not dare to talk nonsense and told the matter of the old Yan family carefully. Even Yan Zhaoshi, who had been expelled from the house by him, Li Qiniang, who had been separated from him, and Li Qiniang's daughter Yan Xuehuai, all said it.

The noble man in the car was obviously satisfied with his answer and said, "You may not know yet. Your former sister-in-law has now married and become the Duke's wife."

Yan Zhaoshan was shocked and said, "How is that possible?"

The noble man in the car smiled slightly: "Are there still few such foxes in the world? After your sister-in-law became the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom, the emperor wanted to reward Duke Ding, but Duke Ding was already a first-class title and had no children and nephews. So the emperor had to give this reward to his stepdaughter, your niece. Now your niece is about to marry into the prince's concubine."

Afterwards, the noble man said he would give him one hundred taels, fifty taels first, and give him money. As long as he arrived in the capital, he would send someone to send him the remaining fifty taels.

Yan Zhaoshan took over fifty taels of silver from the manager and arrived in the capital before Yan Xuehuai's wedding.

Yan Zhaoshan was originally half-believing and half-doubted about what the noble man said. After coming to the capital, he found a small inn and asked the waiter in the inn casually. Unexpectedly, the waiter knew it well. Only then did he realize that his niece was not only a prince, but also a prince.

Yan Zhaoshan had already spent 50 taels given by the noble man. He had only wanted to earn the remaining 50 taels, but when he learned that Yan Xuehuai really wanted to be a princess, his mind became alive.

Compared with the identity of the royal relative, fifty taels of silver is nothing.

He had a niece who was a princess. Not to mention fifty taels, even five hundred taels or five thousand taels, he could even get it.

There were a few poor relatives in the emperor's family, let alone the princess. He lived in the capital and came to ask for money every few days. Even if Yan Xuehuai was reluctant, she could only pay the money obediently when facing his uncle.

I heard that the censors in the capital had a strong mouth and a bronze fang, and even the prince dared to impeach, let alone the princess.

If Yan Xuehuai dared not give him money, he would spread the story to everyone. When the censors wrote a copy, the money would still be given to him in the end.

Yan Zhaoshan's idea was perfect, but the reality was extremely cruel. He didn't even see Yan Xuehuai's face and was tied here in a daze.

"Do you know who that noble person is?" Li Qiniang asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know. I didn't even see anyone in the carriage. I could only hear from my voice that this is a woman." Yan Zhaoshan cried so hard that his tears and his nose were flowing. He was fooled, he was so pitiful.

woman?

Li Qiniang remembered someone.

Valley

If it is that person, then the person this person wants to deal with is not just their mother and daughter, but the entire Duke's Mansion!

Li Qiniang only knows one person who can find Yan Zhaoshan from hard labor and hates the Duke's Mansion to the core, and wants to use Yan Zhaoshan's hands to make the entire Duke's face ruined by the Duke's face.

King Fu rebelled, causing trouble for his children, and Chai Shu's princess had been taken away, and now she is just a civilian.

Judging from the time Yan Zhaoshan said, King Fu had already raised an army at that time and Chai Shu had also been seized from her title.

Li Qiniang remembered Qi Ying, who was raised by Chai Shu again. She gritted her teeth, but calmed down.

Before, she thought Yan Zhaoshan was coming for the mother and daughter. She didn't want to bring Qi Fu in, so she thought about solving it herself, but now it seems that the situation is far from that simple.

"Pick off his chin and lock it up here first, so you don't have to deliver food to him."

Li Qiniang turned around and went out. Yan Zhaoshan was anxious and opened his mouth to shout. Zhenzhu took action like the wind. Yan Zhaoshan could not close his open mouth. His saliva flowed out and could only watch Zhenzhu following Li Qiniang and walked out.

When he got outside, Li Qiniang said to Zhenzhu: "Since he was instructed, someone might follow him later. If you ask a few people to go outside and take a look, you can catch them first if you have suspicious ones."

"Okay." Zhenzhu agreed and ran out. He did not call the people in the mansion, but found Zhou Saochen who was watching his son-in-law in front of him. Zhou Saochen heard and said nothing, and took her two brothers with him and followed him out with Zhenzhu.

In the past two years, Zhou Saochen has been in the capital for most of the time, and she is so idle that she is about to grow grass.

Today, there was finally a place to be used, and Zhou Saochen was as energetic as if he was injected with chicken blood.

She is professional in this way.

In less than half an hour, two people were actually caught.

There are many guests today, so these two people cannot be sent back to the Duke's Mansion. Zhenzhu remembered the house where Qiying last time. It was Li Yunpan's house. She rarely went back to the capital, so she simply asked Zhenzhu to show her the house. Now the key to this house is still in Zhenzhu's hands.

Now is the best season of the year, both lukewarm and warm, and the mansion is full of flowers and willows. The place to entertain women is in the open hall. As soon as Li Qiniang walked in, a little girl ran in: "The auspicious time is here, and I'm going to wear makeup!"

Li Qiniang hurriedly said, "Let's go and have a look."

When Zhong saw Li Qiniang leaving in a hurry, her heart hangs up. Now seeing her coming back as usual, Zhong felt relieved and thought that he would just go to see the gift.

She was so energetic that she accompanied the women to see their hair and makeup with Li Qiniang.

Today is just urging makeup, not the day for the bride to welcome him. Therefore, the female family members who came here today walked with the Duke's Mansion more frequently. The dowry was placed in the yard early in the morning, and the female members had already seen it. Now when they saw the makeup, they couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.

Some people praised Duke Ding for being really generous to his stepdaughter, but they soon remembered that Mrs. Li was also a good person to catch money, with a rich family, and there was also a Cao Gang. I heard that the Zhou Da Zheng brought a whole boat of things back to Beijing. At that time, many people saw it on the dock. After asking, they found out that the things on this boat were all made by the Zhou Da Zheng to his niece.

Even those who were staring at King Zhuang were thinking that they all had daughters of appropriate age at home, and Princess Zhuang’s seat was still empty.

Originally, I felt that based on my family background and daughter's character and appearance, I was enough to marry into Prince Zhuang's Mansion. But now looking at Princess Rui's dowry, the female family members in each family felt a stir.

Princess Rui was the first daughter-in-law to marry after the emperor ascended the throne, and the first to marry as a princess. The Crown Princess and Princess Duan were both granted many years after marriage.

Therefore, Princess Rui also received the most attention.

Not to mention the generations of the next generation, just say that Princess Zhuang, who is also a sister-in-law, her dowry will be compared by the world with Princess Rui.

It would be fine if he was comparable to Princess Rui, but if he couldn't compare, he would inevitably be made fun of him.

Li Qiniang didn't know that the dowry she prepared for her baby's daughter was discouraged by the family who originally wanted to marry her daughter into Princess Zhuang.

In fact, Li Qiniang sent Yan Xuehuai's dowry list to the palace in advance and asked the queen to modify it. The queen considered more than her. When making the modification, she considered the future Princess Zhuang.

The queen herself came from a noble family, and no one knew better than her how these noble families married their daughters.

The ancestors had to take a bowl of water and follow the rules and old rules for all matters, and the legitimate daughter had a dowry standard for the legitimate daughter, and the common daughter had a dowry standard for the concubine. If a princess came out, at most he would add 20% to the original standard. Maybe the extra two or three% could be made by tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall.

This is still a family with family background and background. If it is a family that has been in the imperial examination for less than three generations, there is no wealth originally, and it is even more impossible to empty the family background just to marry a daughter. No matter whether the daughter is married high or low, as long as the dowry is not embarrassing and making peace with her, it is enough.

The queen counted the people she knew about by counting her fingers, but none of them could be like Li Qiniang.

The Duke's Mansion has a rich family, Li Qiniang herself has money, her family is richer than her, and there is no elder in charge of her, and there is no equal sister-in-law around her, so she can do whatever she wants. If she can reach it, she can pick the stars in the sky and give them to her daughter as a dowry.

Therefore, in order to successfully marry a daughter-in-law, the queen crossed out a lot of the dowry list sent by Li Qiniang, and changed the original ones on the surface to private ones. No one could see the dowry booklets. Besides, Li Qiniang wanted to add the crossed patches to her daughter after marriage to the dowry booklet. The Great Wei Dynasty's home rule did not have the saying that the parents could not make up the dowry after marriage.

In short, the dowry when urging makeup is for outsiders to read, and Yan Xuehuai’s own makeup booklet.

Of course, the queen did not expect that this dowry that she had reduced and reduced was still a major obstacle in her journey to marry a wife.

The Duke's Mansion and the Rui Palace were not far away. The dowry cages had been carried into the Rui Palace. The Duke's Mansion was still carrying out. On Changle Street, there were long golden and red dragons that continued to spread, firecrackers rang all the way, and happy money was spilled all the way.

After the dowry was carried into Princess Rui, the crowd was still unsatisfied. First, Princess Rui's dowry was too grand, and second, the royal wedding master was so beautiful.

Bai Lan pulled Tang Ru out early in the morning to watch the fun. Sister Guo came out together.

Since Tang Ru took Bailan to Shantang once, Bailan has also come to Shantang to help every now and then. Sometimes she would take some willow branches home to weave baskets and earn some snacks for her daughter. Her family is not short of money. Wen Xiu didn't want her to work hard, but seeing that she was much happier than before, she left it to her.

Today, when the Duke's Mansion was dressed, Lu Ying'er originally wanted to take them to the Duke's Mansion, but none of them wanted to go there. They couldn't help when they arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Instead, they could only stay in the back house and couldn't see the excitement on the street.

So the three of them went to the street early to wait. The wedding master saw it, the dowry team also saw it, and Sister Guo also got the wedding money.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and when they heard the admiration around them, they were so happy that they had a light on their faces. They wanted to tell everyone that this princess was their young owner.

Suddenly, they heard someone say, "What's the use of more dowry? Isn't I going to enter the bridal chamber alone tomorrow."
