Chapter 265 Dowry

Xiahou Jie is the party of King Shen. King Shen made great contributions to supporting the current Great Zhou emperor ascended the throne, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he could not help but be very successful. With Xiahou Jie under his command, who can conquer generals like Xiahou Jie who are good at fighting, it is even more fearful. In the battle between the two countries, if someone in the Dajing court has ill-behaved and obstructed reinforcements, then how could the Great Zhou have such a thing? However, the Great Zhou is more secretive and not so blatant. This may be that Xiahou Jie was a little reluctant to risk excessive casualties at the beginning.

One of the reasons for the strong attack was that it was unable to capture Yunzhou City in the shortest time, allowing the wealthy families inside and outside the city and nearby prefectures and counties to transfer their property in time. Even ordinary people escaped. Even if they could capture it, they would only get an empty city. Sacrifice the lives of most soldiers for such an empty city, and they would lose. In the end, this battle was just to win a face for the Great Zhou, and there was no real benefit.

Now that he has lost his battle, many people have taken advantage of the situation. Xiahou Jie's killing is the result of a competition of power between multiple parties. Since then, King Shen's momentum is not as good as before. Lian Yufeng was at the time and gradually took over some military power. Compared with King Shen, who had several adult sons and each of them were excellent, the foundation in the court was not very deep and romantic, with a poor reputation and no sons and no slightly decent marriage, it is obviously more worthy of the emperor's trust.

The current Great Zhou Dynasty is actually a situation where the world is divided into three parts. Even Yufeng, King Shen, and the emperor each have some military power and restrain each other. Once a war begins, it is really a problem for who will lead the troops. Naturally, the emperor dare not send all his trusted troops out. King Shen will not take the initiative to cause trouble with Xiahou Jie's previous lessons. Even Yufeng is not a person who likes to be the first to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the hot potato.

Except for the disagreement of the king and minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the situation was not so optimistic. Although the situation in Dajing was chaotic, there was no big war between the princes. They all rested and prepared for their troops. No one could be sure of attacking rashly. There would be no one who fought to win over the hearts of the people. For example, Zhang Qifeng, who was unknown before the Yunzhou War, was nothing but a child of aristocratic family. Following the Zhao family's father and son to fight against foreign enemies, he was named the last general. Just this little battle

The merit may be based on the protection of his father. Every time the court fights, there will be such a family of aristocratic families who have made contributions. With the limited real materials, who would have thought that this person could stand alone. It is not worse than Zhao Boyang, who is famous all over the world. The three parties who are stalemate must have talents like Zhang Qifeng. If they encounter it, losing is certainly a death. Even if they win, they will not be able to gain the same benefits as the price they paid. It is still a loss. This is easy to calculate.

Su Yiqing thought secretly. Her eyes were a little wandering and confused. The accounts were settled so much, but there was no absolute in the world. The times created heroes. Perhaps others would have other thoughts. After all, if they could destroy the Great Jing, whether it was the monarch of the Great Zhou or the general of the army, it was an opportunity to be remembered in history. There might not be no brave men under heavy rewards.

Lian Yufeng's eyes were light and said: "Actually, I have never been in charge of fighting. It is not that I am a kind person, but that my Zhou Dynasty is also rich in land and wealth, not worse than Dajing. Instead of thinking about capturing cities and plundering land, it is better to encourage farmers and sericultures to live and work in peace and prosperity, and the country's strength is stronger. If the land is really not enough to cultivate, it is not too late to talk about opening up the territory and opening up the territory. Why make the people live in poverty? But in my position, many of them are involuntarily. If the emperor ordered me to lead troops to fight, I would naturally have to take the order."

Su Yiqing's eyes darkened, her voice was a little low, and she sighed: "I understand, but please don't worry, women are different from men."

Su Yiqing didn't say clearly what the difference was.

Even Yufeng Junyan was surprised and then smiled faintly: "I always think so, otherwise I wouldn't marry you."

Su Yiqing didn't laugh, paused for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "I said something about it on the edge of the cliff, but I may not explain it clearly. I will say it again this time."

Even Yufeng could not Su Yiqing finish speaking, and interrupted, "Do you want to talk about taking a concubine? I agree to this, but I can't ask for an imperial edict like Zhao Boyang, but I can't promise you that except you will not have skin-related relationships with other women, is that okay?"

Even if you ask for an imperial edict like Zhao Boyang, it may change, let alone anything else. However, if someone insists on rushing in, it will be just a small courtyard to keep it. Who can force him to sleep with a woman he doesn't like? In this regard, Zhao Boyang was a little stupid at the beginning.

After a while, Su Yiqing nodded slightly. It was good to be able to do this step. I really can't force too much. Then she twitched her eyebrows and sighed: "If you can't do it in the future, I won't want you any more. It's just that one day, I hope we can get together and not have a day of resentment from each other."

The main reason why she left resolutely back then was that she didn't want a day of mutual resentment.

"I agree." Lian Yufeng nodded solemnly. If he couldn't even do this in the future, it would indicate how difficult his situation was, so naturally he shouldn't force her to stay by his side.

Back in the Mongolian Mansion, Su Yiqing looked at the wedding dress that had already taken shape and gently touched the smooth and soft fabric. In ten days, she was about to put on the red wedding dress again and marry the same man. Compared with her confused mood at the beginning, she seemed to have more expectations this time.

Is even Yufeng really not a war? That was reasonable, and he had a reason why many people relaxed their vigilance. He had no children, and there were many beauties in the backyard but no children. Even in Dazhou, except for the beautiful woman who was smart and had a fake pregnancy storm, many women, including herself, could not get pregnant.

In ancient times, when a man was at this age, he was weak at his knees. Does it mean that he had really had problems in one aspect? Thinking of this very likely reason, Su Yiqing was disappointed, but because he had planned to live a lonely life, he didn't care too much about it. He could even think about it in the better direction, if a man had no children, his ambition would be much less.

If this is true, no matter what the reason is, she really has a reason to fight with him. Putting aside love, she should help him wholeheartedly only for those who she cares about and for those poor people who are poisoned by the war.

Once a person has a decision or a firm goal, he is always motivated. At this point, Su Yiqing is devoted more wholeheartedly, which is completely different from the perfunctory he used to do.

On this day, Mrs. Meng brought a maid and packed it up with boxes for Su Yiqing to choose. These jewelry were all for Su Yiqing to dowry.

Although the Meng family's family's family is not as good as those aristocratic families, it is because it has a small population and does not have so much extra expenses. As a general, Meng also has many ways to make money when encountering wars or other things. Because this money is not very obvious, he did not dare to spend too much extravagance in his daily life. Therefore, although he was demoted, his family's family is still rich and he has many good things.

Nowadays, it’s okay to have dowry items. No matter how good the Meng family’s things are, can they be as good as the Dingwang Mansion? Don’t take out those ordinary gold and silver jewelry, and the ones they take out are all high-quality products that are hard to buy, most of which were prepared by Mrs. Meng for her daughter. But Mrs. Meng is very conscious of the times and knows that this will not be the time to hide her stingyness. She took out all of them generously. Anyway, there is still time to buy them slowly in the future. Whether her daughter’s family is married well is not because of the lack of a few antiques. It’s better for those families who care about the dowry of their daughter-in-law to measure the dowry by the dowry.

"Fu'er, look, is a pair of gold-inlaid ruby ​​bracelets beautiful? Is it nice to wear these bracelets on the wedding day? It looks elegant and dignified." Mrs. Meng asked excitedly holding a pair of gold bracelets.

Su Yiqing picked it up, looked carefully, and shook her head gently, "This pair of bracelets is expensive, but the pattern is too simple. My wedding dress embroidery is already simple, and I want to choose more exquisite ones in terms of jewelry.

"Oh!" Mrs. Meng's suggestion was denied, but she was not discouraged. She then picked up another pair of bracelets and said, "Then this pair of flowers and flowers are good, and this workmanship is top-notch."

Su Yiqing took it, put it on her hand and tried it, nodding, "This pair of bracelets is good."

Mrs. Meng's second opinion was accepted and her interest became even stronger. She introduced several things one after another, including the red, golden, jade, peony, rich butterflies, red jade coral hairpin, silk mandarin ducks, pearls and lotus crystals, and the hairpin of the hibiscus crystals, and the golden peony hairpin embedded in the burly silk...

After picking jewelry, she also had to choose antique furniture and clothing. Su Yiqing was not good at doing this, so she was all determined by Mrs. Meng. Anyway, she was sure that Mrs. Meng would not treat her badly on this dowry.

Most of the jewelry that Mrs. Meng chose, Su Yiqing agreed with it. After all, as a noble lady, Mrs. Meng will be better than her, regardless of aesthetics or anything else. At that time, most of the people who will consider her dress will be noble ladies of Mrs. Meng. Not to mention that they will win the favor of everyone, let everyone choose less mistakes and listen to Mrs. Meng.

If you only look good, Mrs. Quan may have a better opinion. However, Mrs. Quan lacks some identity after all, and some opinions may not be in line with the noble lady's idea, and she does not want to be too prominent and attract attention.

When choosing jewelry, you have to try it. Many times you have to try it to see the shortcomings. When those bright and heavy gold jewelry were pressed so hard that their necks were almost bent, Su Yiqing remembered the situation when she got married. Because she was in a bad mood at that time, she ignored everything and could not help herself. Why bother to choose a wedding dress? It’s up to the elders and the people around her to decide. Therefore, when you think about it now, you can’t think of what the wedding dress looked like. Only this heavy pearl and jade gave her a sense of familiarity. (To be continued.
