Yuan Hewen was preparing for a wedding banquet in Zuiyuxuan. He was getting married in a few days, and all the necessary dishes needed to be ordered in advance. At this time, he saw the servant at home running over and telling him to go back. Something big happened at home.
Yuan Hewen was shocked and hurried back.
He is getting married, and their extended family has come to the capital, including the old man and the old lady, as well as two aunts.
He didn't want to worry about his two aunts, but he would still be worried if something happened to other family members.
Because of the incident at the restaurant, he and the Yuan family had some unpleasant quarrels. In addition, his marriage was decided by himself and not by his family, so the relationship between them became even worse.
Oh, seeing that they could not invest in Zuiyuxuan, the family members wanted to gain influence in his marriage. Everyone wanted to introduce their relatives to him.
With the in-law relationship, I might not be able to refuse them to join. For the sake of my wife, I might not be able to refuse them too completely.
I didn't think everyone in the family was like this before, and I thought the family was quite good. Anyway, the family has a common property, and each house has its own property. Everyone has enough food and clothing, and the relationship between the houses is quite harmonious.
As long as the newly added industry is built with one's own money, it does not belong to the family industry.
Originally, other members of his restaurant family were not optimistic about it. There were too many restaurants in the capital, and if he opened a new restaurant, he would be squeezed out by bankruptcy in less than two months.
Therefore, no one cared much about him using his own money to open a restaurant.
Who knew that restaurant would be so popular? The money earned by these two restaurants is equal to that of all their shops.
It would be nice if this restaurant belonged to his family, but it was his own, he was really jealous!
Because the relationship between them was tense, only the two aunts came over this time, and no other members of the family came.
Since you are not willing to bring everyone together to make a fortune, what else can you say?
Not only that, while all the people from the eldest family came to the capital, the other two families started to make small moves to squeeze out the people from the eldest family and occupy more of the family's property.
Yuan Hewen was so angry that he complained about this matter to He Yunxi once. He Yunxi turned around and ordered the workshops in Yanjiang County, soy sauce and vinegar, to stop renewing the cooperation agreement with the Yuan family after the expiration of the agreement.
Her soy sauce workshop is very famous among businessmen, and many businesses can't get a place to visit. Even if the Yuan family is gone, there is no need to worry about business.
Her cooperation with the Yuan family has always been because of Yuan Hewen, who is also regarded as her godbrother. But now that the Yuan family is ostracizing him, she, as her goddaughter, naturally has to support him.
When Yuan Hewen found out about this, he was very moved and said that he recognized her as a girl for nothing.
However, he also took this opportunity to make an agreement with his father that from now on, their own property would be based in the capital. The second and third uncles would be allowed to take care of their hometown.
As for the things that Dafang deserves, they just don't give up.
While thinking about these things, I rushed home in shock. I thought something bad had happened at home, but as soon as I got home, I saw my mother beaming and talking to someone she didn't know.
"mother?"
Seeing him coming back, Mother Yuan quickly waved to him and introduced the people around her: "This is a person from the glaze workshop. He came here to install glaze windows for you."
Yuan Hewen quickly gave the other party a gift, and then he was very curious: "Why did he suddenly come to install glazed windows for us?"
He guessed that it was related to He Yunxi, but he also understood that this order had been scheduled for several months.
Although He Yunxi is the head of the county, his status is still inferior to those of the princes and nobles. He probably won't be able to get in front of those people in the queue, right?
The man said: "The Lord of Chang'an County said this is a wedding gift for you."
"It's really her! How did she buy these colored glazes?"
"The Lord of Chang'an County did not queue up to buy this." The man said, "The Emperor said that if Chang'an County wants more colored glaze, it will be provided first. If there are windows of your size, the Lord of Chang'an County will install them for you first."
Yuan Hewen and Yuan's mother were both shocked. Did He Yunxi have such a high status in the emperor?
Especially Yuan's mother, after arriving in the capital, she met He Yunxi and Lu Yan. She was still the same as before. It was impossible to tell that she had entered the aristocratic class.
Because it had been installed for a while before, it was completely installed soon after Yuan Hewen came back. The workers finished their work and went home, and Yuan Hewen looked at the windows carefully.
There are not many windows, only two windows in the master bedroom, and two windows in the study room.
It's pretty good to find four doors with exactly the same size.
Once these glazed windows are installed, the yard will immediately look different.
Yuan Hewen and Yuan's mother entered the room and found that even if the windows were closed, the room was bright, no different from before when the windows were open.
"This glazed window is really good. Even in winter, you won't feel dark with the window closed." Mother Yuan said enviously.
When the temperature drops in winter, you have to close the windows to keep warm. Although the paper on these windows is somewhat transparent, the light in the room is still very dark, and lights are often needed.
With glazed windows, it will be brighter in winter.
Nowadays, the only homes that can install glazed windows are the imperial palaces and a few old princes. He is the first to install glazed windows in ordinary people's homes. Needless to say, when they get married, his wedding gift will definitely blow up the entire capital.
His old sister is cheating, so she wants to give him face!
Early on the third day, Huang An brought people from the County Lord's Mansion to the Lu family.
Today they are going to help the county lord carry the dowry, and all of them are dressed in high spirits.
Today they are the face of the county lord!
Lu Yan took half a day off today, and he and He Yunxi will go to pick up the dowry later. After getting the dowry, he will go to the Hanlin Academy.
He Yunxi asked everyone to have breakfast together, and then he and Lu Yan packed up before setting off with the others.
Today, the Chang'an County Lord and others will come to collect the Liu family's dowry. This matter has long been spread throughout the upper circles, so many people are paying attention here. Seeing He Yunxi and the others coming, many people came to their walls to watch.
lively.
He Yunxi and the others stopped when they arrived at Ding'an Bo's Mansion, and then asked someone to knock on the door.
The concierge of Ding'an Bo Mansion also knew about this. When he saw He Yunxi and Lu Yan, he said, "Master Lu, Lord of Chang'an County, my wife said that the dowry has been prepared. Please come into the house to discuss it in detail."
Lu Yan refused directly: "There is no need to go into the mansion to discuss it in detail. Since the dowry is ready, please help carry it out. It is just right for everyone to witness it, so as not to say that we took more things from Ding Anbo's mansion."
