Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 914

Mrs. Bai said without hesitation: "This relationship is great! It's all on me. Although I have never held a wedding, in order for your brother to marry a wife as soon as possible, I have long been familiar with these etiquette. Obviously Leave Yong's wedding to me, and I will definitely make it an amazing grand wedding."

Lu Mingyu pretended not to believe Mrs. Bai: "Is what my adoptive mother said true? I am just a brother, and I will only have one sister-in-law in the future. If this wedding fails, I will not be able to see my mother anymore."

Mrs. Bai was unhappy: "What? Yu'er, you still can't believe me? I'm not exaggerating to say that there are few people in the capital who can do it better than me! Because the woman is a princess, the wedding is somewhat different from the folk wedding. You just need to Just ask the etiquette department to provide a copy of the regulations for the princess's wedding, and I will make sure that no one can make any mistakes."

Lu Mingyu winked, and Lu Mingyong quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you Aunt Qiong, Mingyong is grateful."

Mrs. Bai said nonchalantly: "Thank you for what. Not to mention that A'yi is gone. As her good sister, I should handle the marriage arrangements for her children. Even if A'yi is here today, I will take the initiative to ask for help."

Lu Mingyu hugged Mrs. Bai's arm and said coquettishly: "My adoptive mother is so kind! I would like to thank my adoptive mother for my brother."

Mrs. Bai said: "I will make a list later and ask Bai Li to prepare all the things. If there is no problem with the wedding, the next collection will be more careful."

"The gift letter and the engagement letter must be written quickly and sent to the bride's house first. The date for the betrothal gift must also be determined. These are all out of respect for the girl, and nothing should be done carelessly."

"Everyone in the world respects Luo Yi before others. No matter how much you love your wife, it will be difficult for people who are not close to you to see it. If you don't do a good job on the surface, others will inevitably say a few words in private. In the end, it is not her who suffers. girl?"

"So, since you have to meet this wonderful marriage that you dream of, you must do it beautifully, so that you can live up to the chance that a favored girl will be married to your family to be your husband and raise children, and to devote your whole life to your family. "

"The highest betrothal gift in this dynasty is 99 taels. We don't want to compete with the queen, but we can't wrong someone else's girl by giving her 88 taels of silver just for good luck."

"As for other gold and silver jewellery, jades and rare stones, silk and satin, land deeds, horses and livestock, etc., all must be included."

Lu Mingyong was not unhappy at all. Even if he presented all his wealth in front of Princess Zhenli, he would not frown. He naturally agreed and had no objection: "Aunt Qiong alone makes the decision."

Mrs. Bai cleared her throat and looked at Bai Li. Bai Li took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Mingyong's hand.

Mrs. Bai explained: "A'yi invested a lot of money in the Bai family's business before, and these are the dividends she deserves. I brought them all here when I went to Beijing this time, and gave them to you brothers and sisters to keep, including the account books and so on. It is stored in Debao Zhai, you can check it at any time."

Lu Mingyong didn't even look at it, and directly stuffed it into Lu Mingyu's hand: "I have hands and feet. All the things my mother left behind will be given to Yu'er."

Changsun Tao took the banknotes and counted them. There were 100 million taels in total. This was a large sum of money, almost equal to the income of Prince Qi's palace for four years.

He handed back 50 taels to Lu Mingyong: "I also have hands and feet. I can raise my daughter-in-law by myself, but I can't let my mother-in-law's wishes go to waste. That's it, you Half each."

Lu Mingyu took the banknote back, counted it again, and finally gave Lu Mingyong 40 taels, saying: "My mother left me much more than my brother. The 40 taels were for my brother's wedding, and the remaining Of the 60 taels I bet, I will give 20 taels and 40 taels to the second brother. That’s it. If anyone dares to have any objections, I will get angry and show it to him.”

Opinion?

Lu Mingyong didn't dare to have it.

Changsun Tao didn't even dare to have it.

Since everyone has no objections, the matter has been finalized.

As soon as the discussion was settled, A-kun said that dinner was ready, and everyone went to the living room, and everyone, regardless of gender, sat around the table.

Two tables were opened, and Lu Mingyu and others sat at one. The seven guards were invited by the brother and sister to sit in the seats next to each other.

Those who care about Lu Mingyu's brother and sister are happily gathered together because of Lu Mingyong's marriage.

Everyone exchanged glasses, and the room was filled with laughter and laughter. After three drinks, Emperor Yuanwu came in incognito, accompanied by Lan Lingling, who was dressed as a chamberlain.

Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt down to salute.Emperor Yuanwu personally helped up Changsun Tao and Lu Mingyu, brother and sister, and said: "Mingyong, you are unkind and don't tell me such a happy event. If the news hadn't spread to the palace, I might not even be able to get a glass of wedding wine from you. "

Lu Mingyong quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this has not been decided yet, how can we announce it in front of His Majesty?"

Emperor Yuanwu smiled gently and said: "Although you and I didn't deal with each other in the past, we still don't know each other. I can treat you as a friend. Today, I come incognito with my blessings for you. Ming Yong, I'm waiting for you to meet me. Now that Zhenli is married, the relationship between you and me will be one step closer."

Lu Mingyong immediately saluted: "Your Majesty has commended his ministers."

Emperor Yuanwu patted him on the shoulder and looked at Changsun Tao and Lu Mingyu: "How is Auntie Huang's health these days? She will give birth in a few months, right? I have a lot of medicinal materials in my warehouse. If you need anything, please let Uncle Huang and me." What I take is from my own family, so don’t be polite to me."

Lu Mingyu bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Perhaps it was because the experience of that bad face was too hard on his mind. Emperor Yuanwu seemed to have lingering fears, and he obviously wanted to escape in front of Lu Mingyu.

After a few words of greeting, he changed the subject and said, "Who is this lady and this young master?"

Changsun Tao explained: "This lady is the leader of the Bai family in the south and a close friend of Princess Chuanping. This young master is Bai Li, my legitimate son."

Emperor Yuanwu's deep eyes flashed with light, and he joked: "So this is Shaodong of the Bai family. I have been famous for a long time. When I was a dandy, I heard about many of your deeds."

Bai Li held up his hands and said, "Thank you for remembering it, but ordinary people would venture to guess that what your Majesty heard must not be a good thing, right?"

Emperor Yuanwu's smile faded and he said extremely seriously: "It may have been true in the past, but it is not true now. Everything the Bai family has done for the people of Yangzhou is in my heart. Mr. Bai is the hero of my Great Qin."

After saying that, Emperor Yuanwu solemnly saluted: "Mrs. Bai, Mr. Bai, on behalf of thousands of my people, I would like to thank the Bai family for everything they have done."

Bai Li quickly helped Emperor Yuanwu stand up, and Mrs. Bai said: "Your Majesty, the Bai family is also a subject under your rule. Since we are a family, we naturally cannot stand by coldly when our family members are in trouble. Your Majesty, please don't be polite."

Emperor Yuanwu praised sincerely: "If everyone thinks like Madam, there is no need to worry about not having a prosperous age."

Mrs. Bai's smile was respectful but also distant. She nodded slightly and stood submissively.

Lu Mingyong knew that Mrs. Bai didn't want to get too involved with the royal family, so he hurriedly greeted: "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Emperor Yuanwu nodded slightly, and with his backhand, he grabbed Lan Lingling, who had already sat at the table and immersed herself in eating. He said to the crowd with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I didn't notice it for a moment."

When Lan Lingling's collar was lifted up, she was still holding a chicken leg in her hand. When Emperor Yuanwu explained it awkwardly to everyone, she didn't forget to take a few bites.

People who know her don't care about her, and people who don't know her dare not care about her.

The meal was a bit difficult to eat due to the addition of Emperor Yuanwu, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly solemn. Fortunately, Emperor Yuanwu didn't stay long. After drinking two glasses of wine, he left with Lan Lingling holding her elbow while gnawing.

Time flies by three days later. The Lu family has been quite peaceful during these few days, with no changes in the family or broken cups and plates.

Lu Mingyong sent someone to send the auspicious omen of the marriage to the mansion of the eldest princess, and also sent the letter of engagement.

There was a response from the eldest princess's palace, and Madam Bai was busy preparing all the items needed for the recruitment. The Lu family was very busy for a while.

Lu Mingyong looked forward to it, and finally waited until all the betrothal gifts were ready, and he could celebrate the big day.

As a result, a vigorous recruitment ceremony was staged in the capital.
