Chapter 984

As soon as he arrived at fengri City, Shen Hao received a message from his housekeeper Hu Tian, saying that his uncle Shen Wentian wrote a few days ago that he had been to Qizhou city in Jingbei and met Yu Shu, the head of the Yu family.

The specific meeting process and details were not described in detail in the letter, but Shen Wentian's excitement and pride could be seen between the lines. As a result, the trip to Jingbei was very successful and everything that should be said was made clear. And the Yu family also accepted the bride price.

As for the money of the bride price, Shen Wentian bought it out of his pocket. There are no luxury and expensive things, but some ceremonial symbols given according to custom. For example, ox horn comb means to grow old together; For example, jade ruler means hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren. Things that really cost a lot of money have to be carried with the team when they meet the bride in the back. Now it's just a stage of etiquette.

After that, the two families will meet and discuss many times, from Shen Hao's and Yu Qiao's birthday to the selection of the later wedding day, and then the scale of the wedding, the banquet of guests, etc... many things still need to be discussed with Shen Hao.

Of course, Shen Hao is not suitable to go to the Yu family before his wedding. Shen Wentian, an "elder", will make a full arrangement to show his respect for the Yu family.

This didn't surprise Shen Hao. Shen Wentian was angry with him before this. But when things come to an end, I always feel a little "fast".

In fact, it is not only Shen Wentian who is busy, but also Hu Tian, the housekeeper. For example, according to the local customs of Jingbei and Jingxi, prepare some gifts in advance, and let people create a batch of gold jewelry, including not only necklaces and headwear, but also a big golden pig.

Jewelry to Miss Yu's dressing table, and golden pig to send good luck to the Yu's family.

No matter how much Shen Hao sends over, these things will eventually go into Miss Yu's pocket, and the Yu family will add some more. This is called "private money". The money belongs to Miss Yu family. No one can move it except herself. It's a law, not a custom. To put it bluntly, it is to give some money to the daughter-in-law who has been to the door, so as not to be angry with her husband's family.

Of course, this is the right of the wife. Concubines are not protected by this law.

In addition, Hu Tian also suggested that because the two families are far apart, it is best to hold two banquets. First, hold a formal wedding banquet here at Xin Liangcheng, and then go back to Jingbei Qizhou city to hold a thank-you banquet, so as not to abrupt the contacts of the Yu family and take care of the face of the Yu family. This is not a special case. Many large families do so.

"Lord Shen, there's one more thing."

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Shen Hao took a big sip of the herbal tea offered by the red silk, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Shen. A few days ago, the Yamen servant of the local Yamen in the imperial city sent a list of land deeds inserted with the subject matter and asked if you need to buy a house in the imperial city. You can choose from it."

Hearing the speech, Shen Hao didn't open his eyes. He relaxed and enjoyed Xia Nu massaging his head.

"Is there anything suitable?" Shen Hao has not decided whether to move the black flag camp commander's Yamen to the imperial city. Even if he wants to move, he needs to consider later. For the time being, he still needs to stay in Jingxi and control his three-thirds of this mu. However, this did not prevent him from purchasing property in the imperial city. And this is actually a benefit for local officials of the local yamen of the imperial city.

Hu Tian had studied this land deed list, immediately spread it out in front of Shen Hao and said, "there are eight best places, five outside the city and three inside the city..."

Shen Hao opened his eyes and took a look at the list brought by Hu Tian. He was familiar with many places with marks. He took people to these places not long ago. The property belongs to the original four Shangshu and three Zuo Shilang. These properties were copied last month, sealed up and transferred to the local Yamen in the imperial city. They were redetermined as criminal property and sold to the national treasury. But I haven't seen Ye Lansheng's residence here.

"If you don't think about the outside of the city, you'd better choose the largest one in the city. Tell me when you've selected it. I'll go to the local yamen of fengri city to ask how much the land around our house is, and say I want to buy it."

"Lord Shen, are you going to expand the house?"

"Well, at least expand it by half. I want to reorganize the backyard and make it more spacious. You should hurry up and try to do it before the end of October."

Now, in early August and nearly three months before the end of October, Hu Tian quickly nodded and said that he would go to the local yamen of fengri city to ask how the houses around him could be sold.

As for saying that people on the 10000 side don't sell? Didn't Shen Hao just say? Let Hu Tian say he wants to buy it. Who doesn't sell it? The commanding officer of the black flag camp doesn't even have this kind of face in fengri city?

Shen Hao's idea is very simple. Shen Wentian's family of swindlers has entered the role of their own. If they take on his "family" and "elders", his marriage will be implemented by the end of this year. At that time, Yu Qiao will enter the door and become the head wife of Shen's house. Then Lian Xiang will enter the door and become a concubine. The originally thin backyard will be crowded immediately.

More people will cause more problems, especially when they are crowded together. So Shen Hao wants to enlarge the backyard first, so as not to make several women look up and bow their heads. In this case, the backyard should be quiet.

Of course, there are many rules after Yu Qiao enters the door. He has to stand up, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up in case of miasma.

After Hu Tian left, Shen Hao leaned back on the recliner and continued to close his eyes. The red silk and brocade were held back, leaving Xia woman sitting beside him.

It seems that Shen Hao is resting, but in fact, his mind is full of the news he brought back from Guishan monastery this time.

In fact, the information of the Wang family should not have been so tangled. Just report it to Pang ban directly. Anyway, he is just a commander from the fourth grade, but he has no ability to decide on the disposal strategy.

But the problem is that after reporting to Pang ban, he has to go to the palace to report to the emperor, because the emperor issued it directly to him. If there is progress, he naturally needs to report back directly. According to the emperor's temperament and the practice of playing, Shen Hao can't only play with "problems", but also with "strategic suggestions", which requires his repeated consideration.

There are three main problems with the Wang family. First, the strength of the Wang family is far more than expected. If you want to make a surprise attack, I'm afraid you are stretched by the strength of xuanqingwei alone. Even if Pang ban does it himself, he may not be able to do his whole skill, so he must need friar Jinjian to do it.

Second, this matter must not be solved just by handling the Wang family. The several second rate sects involved in the Wang family must not be let go, otherwise there will be many imitators in the future.

Finally, although the Wang family is the best "glove" secretly spawned by the zongmen, there must be more than the Wang family in a similar situation. Do you want to sort it out?
