Chapter 222

Seeing that Mu Yun had no intention of refusing, the Princess Ming smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't refusal, don't treat me as an outsider. Although I'm not as rich as Princess Jin, I'm still a princess who has been for so many years. There aren't anything else. There are so many small things that can pile up a warehouse. If you give it to you, it's better than just placing it there to accumulate dust."

Mu Yun said with a smile when he heard this: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it generously and not be polite to the Empress."

After returning home, Mu Yun opened the two brocade boxes given by Princess Ming, and indeed saw a box containing a set of Ru kiln sky-blue tea sets. The glaze color was gentle and elegant, and the cup shape was grand and simple. It was indeed the type Mu Yun liked. And this set of tea sets was obviously made of agate in the glaze.

She handed the box to Yin Liu: "I'll find someone to wash the cups and put them in my room from now on."

Then she opened another box, but was shocked. Originally, the Princess Ming said that there were various seal stones inside, and Mu Yun thought it was some exquisite things made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When she opened it, she saw that there were six stones in total, all of which were carved, and all of them were precious Shoushan stone, chicken blood stone, Qingtian stone, and Balin stone. She chose a chicken blood stone herself, leaving one Qingtian stone for her own use, and the rest was left for Wen Tingzhou.

After Wen Tingzhou came back in the evening, he suddenly found that the commonly used tea sets in the house had been replaced. He took a cup and looked at it. He couldn't help but smile and said, "This cup is good, I just bought it?"

Mu Yun replied, "You think beautifully. Such a gentle and beautiful Ru kiln tea set is clearly left by the kiln in the previous dynasty. Not to mention how valuable it is, I even bought it with silver and had no place to buy it. I went to the Ming Palace today and visited the Princess Ming. Last time she fell in love with a set of glass tea sets in my shop, but the only few left ones were flawed. This time the new product in the shop looked quite unique, so I sent it to her. This was a gift she gave."

Wen Tingzhou laughed and said, "Madam, you have made a lot of money. Your set of glass tea sets is only worth hundreds of taels of silver. I don't think this pair of Ru kiln tea sets are eye-catching, but if you read it correctly, they were from the famous official kilns in the previous dynasty. Just like you said, this thing has a price but no market, and such a set costs at least thousands of taels of silver."

Mu Yun covered his mouth and smiled, "It's more than this one! Look at how about my pair of seal stones?"

Wen Tingzhou heard her and took the two seals and looked at them for a while: "Yes, this Qingtian stone carving is exquisite, as crystal clear as jade, as bright as orchid, bright and pure, very good. Besides, this chicken blood stone is as beautiful as peach blossoms, and is also a good peach blossom blood red. Why, could these two seal stones were also given by Princess Ming?"

Mu Yun smiled and said, "Yes, but not two. Princess Ming gave me a box, a total of six." As he said that, he took a box from behind and said, "I chose these two pieces, and I will give you the remaining four pieces. I have to put these two pieces on your side first. When you have time, remember to carve a good seal for this lady."

Wen Tingzhou smiled and said, "For your husband, you must follow your wife's words carefully and carve two good seals for your husband."

If the Princess Ming was not a woman and the Prince of Ming fell ill and could not get up, Wen Tingzhou would have suspected that someone in the Ming Palace would have had any inappropriate thoughts about his wife. Isn’t this too generous?

If Mu Yun knew that her husband had such a mentality, he would probably only feel embarrassed. She would definitely say: Husband, you have such a big brain!

It is true that King Ming is a woman who loves girls, but her appearance is not much different from her time traveling with fellow countrymen. The maids around Princess Ming are also very beautiful, one of whom is beautiful than the other. Her appearance is probably no less than the emperor's harem. Although Mu Yun is not a person who is self-deprecating, she also has basic self-knowledge. In terms of appearance, she really does not have much advantage.

After Mu Yun gave the box to Wen Tingzhou, he shook his hands and ignored it, then nodded and smiled, "I've given it to you, please do it. I'm not in a hurry."

Wen Tingzhou smiled. He liked this box of seal stones very much. Since his wife said there was no hurry, he had to think about it carefully and take action.

After talking about these chores, Mu Yun couldn't help but mutter to Wen Tingzhou about the marriage between Bai Han and Mei Yueyue. Bai Han was also a miserable life. Fortunately, a brother took care of him. When his father was alive, he was a veteran of the Jingji camp, and unfortunately lost his life in a bandit suppression. His brother was also a premature baby in poor health, so he went to Jingji camp to take over his father's class, and later followed Wen Tingzhou to the Imperial Guards.

The marriage was always completed by the elders of the two families sitting together to discuss it, but Bai Han’s parents were not around. His only brother was in Shandong, the hometown of their brother, so Bai Han’s marriage was bound to be managed by Mu Yun and his wife.

The next morning, Mu Yun found the official media that Xiao Dingshi had been to the Mei Mansion together. Although Madam Mei was not young, she was not a useless person. When Madam Mei was there, she looked at Rouru and was not capable, but after Madam Mei had an accident, she used her own means to get the support of Madam Mei at that time and firmly grasped the power of Madam Mei's family. She also distributed the concubine's son and their concubine in the mansion. No matter how many twists and turns occurred, Madam Mei finally successfully held the entire Mei Mansion firmly in her hand, and also used Madam Mei and Prince Yue's original valiantness to allow her young son to inherit the Mei family's family business. In short, this is definitely not a simple woman.

But no matter how simple it is, in the face of the current situation, Mrs. Mei had to tie her tail to be a human being. Fortunately, Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Mei died early and did not involve the incident of Concubine Mei. No matter how angry the emperor was, he could not take his anger at the Mei family. In addition, Mrs. Mei's son was quite promising and his daughter married well, so the Mei family was barely caught between the nobles in the capital.

Therefore, when facing Mu Yun, the second-rank real power imperial edict, Madam Mei seemed particularly polite and enthusiastic. After hearing her intention, she was not pretentious and replied directly: "Yueyue is not young anymore, so it is really hard to delay any further. Her horoscope has been given to her in-laws. You can only decide your life. Once you have decided, tell us that we can make some preparations."

Since the Mei family is so easy to talk to, the next marriage will be easy to handle. Both families are afraid of long nights and dreams. They agreed to go through the sixth day of the sixth month and get married on August 28th.

Bai Han was a big and squat, and he didn't understand these things himself. He was also a bachelor, so he took out 600 taels of silver and handed them to Mu Yun in front of Wen Tingzhou. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Madam, I don't know the gold, silver, fine and soft things in the betrothal gifts. For you, Mrs. Luo, please prepare the clothes and faces of the betrothal gifts. The house has started to be cleaned up. Last year, I took out the rosewood that I had hidden in my house for several years and made a brand new set of furniture, from shelves to buckets of children and grandchildren. I also brought me a message by the way. Although my family is not rich, I always try my best to prepare a decent betrothal gift, so that Miss Mei will not be underestimated."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "These silver is just a decent piece of jewelry and clothes. This is good. The wedding was in a hurry and this time it was lively, which would make the girl feel more comfortable."

Bai Han scratched his head: "That's what I mean."

Mu Yun took the silver, called Wen Sui over the next day, and said with a smile: "You are about to be nineteen years old this year. After the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law will tell you to kiss me."

Wen Sui didn't expect that his sister-in-law came up and talked about this to him. He blushed when he was unprepared. Seeing this, Mu Yun smiled and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed. There are always times when you get married and start a career. You don't have to be shy. You can talk to me about any kind of girl you like. My sister-in-law will definitely find a good girl for you."

Then Mu Yun said, "But it's still early for you. I'll call you here today, just to have something to help you. Our family hasn't had a wedding for several years, and I don't know much about what is popular in Beijing now, what to do with the banquet, and what to eat. Go out and ask me, and then go to your brother Bai's house to see what he has prepared at home. Let's not repeat it. Your brother Bai's family is not rich, so you can't waste his money." Of course, Mu Yun originally intended to let Wen Sui get in touch with these things, so that he will be calculating when he gets married by himself in the future.

Now Wen Sui is becoming more and more sophisticated, but one day later, he copied a piece of paper from the Bai family and gave Mu Yun a piece of paper. He also wrote some of the things that are popular in Beijing to get married.

After reading the list, Mu Yun couldn't help but praise Wen Sui and smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more capable now. This is fine. When you become a kiss in the future, you can set up your own door. Two days ago, I asked the maid to make two silk clothes for you, and you will take them back later. Now you are staying outside for a longer time. I have told the needle and thread room that you will make two more clothes for you every season in the future. In addition, there are 100 taels of silver here, so you can take pocket money."

Wen Sui said embarrassedly: "I don't lack food and clothing in this mansion, and I have monthly money, and I have a salary in the shop. Why do I have the nerve to ask for my sister-in-law's money again?"

Mu Yun asked Yin Xin to stuff his purse: "You just take it with me, sister-in-law. The shop is wages, and this is the pocket money given to you by my sister-in-law. It's different. As long as you don't get married for a day, you will still be a child with your sister-in-law. You should still give your pocket money. You are a big man, and it's not too tight to communicate outside. Take it with me quickly." Seeing Mu Yun say this, Wen Sui bowed to answer, and felt more grateful to Mu Yun.

He was just a relative of Wen's family and Wen Tingzhou who had turned several turns. Wen Tingzhou and his wife were hundreds of times better than his brother and sister-in-law. Not to mention whether Wen Tingzhou's family is rich or not, is it that his own brother's family short of money? Why did his parents leave a thousand taels of ancestral property, but his sister-in-law never gave him a hundred ounces. This person is really incomparable to people.

After reading the list written by Wen Sui, Mu Yun knew it. After thinking about it, she went to the Xu family's silver building to book a set of ruby-embedded gold-faced faces and pearl-embedded silver-faced faces, and then ordered four sets of plain gold-faced faces and two sets of silver-faced faces. Although the Xu family only collected capital for her sake, it cost 300 taels of silver. Then she asked someone to go to her shop to pick up twenty pieces of silk and twelve-piece ready-made clothes, and then ordered a few pieces of fine leather from Jingwen's shop. The cost of these was more than 200 taels.

With Muyun's current vision, she looked down on something worse. But in this way, the money seems to be too small, and there are still things like rouge, water and powder makeup boxes and mirror boxes. However, she was not happy to ask Muyun to lower the standards and was a little in a dilemma for a while.
