Chapter 380 Before I even got married, you started to give birth
Steward Chen compared it carefully and found that the list did refer to the Xie family, but the thickness of the gift also referred to the Cao family. If a young master from the Duke's palace marries a wife, this betrothal gift is just right.
This is probably for the sake of fairness. Although things are different now than ten years ago, and it is impossible to follow the etiquette of ten years ago, it is not good to go too far. After all, there is more than one daughter-in-law in the house. Going too far can easily lead to conflicts between sisters-in-law.
conflicts between.
Referring to what Prince Cao has, it is just right. As for whether to add more, that is Rong Ci's own business. If he wants to give it to himself, no one in the family can fault it.
It was only time for a cup of tea. Manager Chen finished checking the gift list, and finally thought about it and said: "It's hard to add other things. There is a black and white jade chess set in the warehouse that I can add to it."
"There is also a pair of golden gourds. Sir, you have probably never seen that pair of gourds. The gourds are covered with silk, one is a picture of melons and peach blossoms, and the other is a picture of peaches and plums."
"The former is to wish the descendants prosperous, and the latter is to wish the family a flourishing branch."
"These two gourds are also inlaid with various gems. They look extremely rich and majestic. Among the many gifts, they deserve to be the first."
Hearing what he said, Rong Ci could almost imagine that the two golden gourds were really blinding with their glittering gold, but they seemed pretty good, expensive and had good meanings.
"Can."
"In addition, add eight more pieces of cloth to make some clothes for Miss Xie, add a few sets of jewelry, a few play objects or ornaments, and that's about it."
Manager Chen opened the box, took out the booklet inside, then looked for suitable items, and told Rong Ci one by one how they were.
Rong Ci listened to his description and thought it was good, so he added another gift list and asked Manager Chen to prepare the things and send them over when they get engaged.
One day later, he went to the Wucheng Division and discussed with the deputy commander whether he should be put on duty recently.
The Wucheng Division is in charge of five areas in the southeast, northwest, and middle of the Imperial City. Each area has a deputy commander who takes turns leading the team. Rong Ci has been very busy recently, and sometimes the deputy commander is on duty.
The deputy commander, surnamed Ma, is already in his early thirties. Unlike Rong Ci who came here to practice, he has no backing behind him and can only be assigned to this hard-working position. However, he is also content and wants to remain here without moving.
When Rong Ci said that he might not be able to come in the near future and asked him to help, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his face became stiff.
Before he could speak, Rong Ci said, "I'm going to get engaged in a few days. There are really too many things going on at home now. Please bear with me, Brother Ma. When I'm done with the engagement, I'll also ask Ma to do it."
Brother, please rest for a few days."
After hearing what he said, Deputy Commander Ma's face seemed to change from cold winter to warm spring in an instant, and he burst into a spring smile.
"Oh, yes, it's an engagement! I'm on duty these days, right? No problem, no problem, go ahead and settle down the marriage..."
When it was time to leave, Lu Zhui looked left and right, looking at him several times in a row, as if he was getting to know his young master again.
Seeing his strange expression, Rong Ci frowned slightly, stopped and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhui said: "Nothing, sir, why are you so good at talking?"
Rong Ci was a little confused: "I can talk? Really?"
Why doesn't he think so?
"Yes, yes, you asked me to take care of you a lot!" Lu Chai rubbed his hands and feet, as if he was about to burst into tears, "Although this Wucheng Division has a lot of shit, it is indeed a good place. Our young master is finally here
Grow up..."
Rong Ci: "..."
There is less drama, thank you very much.
"What storybooks have you read recently?"
Lu Zhui snarled, and then looked excited: "I recently read a storybook. The protagonist is only three and a half years old. He is a cute little Zaizai. Master, please hurry up and get married to Miss Xie, and then have a baby."
What a cute little boy!"
Rong Ci: "..."
I haven't even gotten married yet, and you started giving birth. What's the matter?
Isn’t that too much!
He looked back with a condemning look, and then suddenly remembered something. He looked Lu Zhui up and down: "Lu Zhui, are you in your twenties this year?"
Lu Zhui still didn't understand the question. Hearing this, he thought about it and said, "Twenty-four."
Rong Ci nodded, then said, "It's time to get married," and continued walking forward.
Lu Zhui was startled and hurriedly chased after him: "My lord, my lord! I'm wrong, please let me go! Don't! Don't! I still want to be free for a few more years!"
In the afternoon of that day, Rong Ci delivered a message to the emperor. The emperor did not let Rong Ci take the people into the palace. Instead, he came himself that night. Rong Ci and Rong Xun brothers accompanied him to see Master Wuchang.
When Master Wuchang met the emperor, he was scared to death and did not dare to hide it. He told what he knew again. The emperor was silent for a long time after listening.
After a long time, he left again under the cover of night.
Rong Xun accompanied the emperor to leave, while Rong Ci stayed to handle matters.
"You can go."
Master Wu Chang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? You won't lie to me, right?"
Rong Ci said: "Why should I lie to you? Although you do have some abilities, it is not difficult to kill you. After leaving, find a place to hide and don't come out again."
Master Wuchang laughed: "Rong Jiu, you are a good boy. You are worthy of being the disciple of that old man Hui Yuan. I don't believe what others say, but I believe what you say."
"But I think it's more dangerous now that I'm out. Where can you give me a place to stay?"
He couldn't tell whether the emperor would kill him. If the emperor believed him, he might think that he knew too much. He was afraid that he would bring trouble to the world, so he would definitely not let him stay, or think that he would bring trouble to the world.
If you want to use him, lock him up directly.
If the emperor didn't believe him, he would probably think that he was talking nonsense and disturbing the world with his nonsense, and he would not be allowed to stay.
Moreover, even if the emperor is kind and does not care about him, there is still King Huainan outside. He is even more afraid that King Huainan will find out about his appearance in the imperial city and kill him to silence him.
King Huainan is not an easy person to talk to.
Rong Ci thought for a moment and said, "My master is at Yunzhong Temple. If you are willing, you can stay at Yunzhong Temple."
Master Wuchang hesitated to speak, thinking that the temple was for monks. I am not a Taoist monk, and I cannot be a vegetarian every day. Where can I stay in that place?
But he thought about it, his life was more important, so he could stay for a while and wait for the storm to pass before leaving.
"Okay, then I will go to Yunzhong Temple, your master practices there, and ordinary people will not dare to cause trouble there."
