Chapter 348 Gold is touching
Ji Song did not stay long at Zhuangzi. The next day, under the auspices of his second uncle, he comforted his ancestors with the news that the current family leader was getting married and prayed for their blessings.
After the ceremony was completed, Ji's mother came to the bamboo forest alone. I don't know why she didn't let Ji Song go in.
They stayed there for a while. Ji Song didn't know what she said to her father, but her mother felt much more relaxed after she came out, so Ji Song didn't think much about it.
Fortunately he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't know how to complain! Ji's mother didn't say anything else, she just told her son's achievements in an exaggerated manner. Anyway, she said that there is no one unparalleled in the sky and on the earth. I wonder if this is considered 'liar'? They said goodbye to their clansmen and returned to Chang'an, where there were still many things to do! As the wedding day approaches, as a celebrity in Chang'an, Ji Song's wedding is still attracting much attention.
Everyone has a tolerant attitude toward Ji Song, the youngest military lord in the Tang Dynasty, because the story of Ji Song's rise to fame has long become a teaching material for common people to educate their children.
Anyway, as much as the parents admire Ji Song, the children will hate him.
He also brought hundreds of clan members with him when he came back this time. These are relatively close people, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't come.
The second uncle and the others didn't come, saying they were too old and couldn't stand the atmosphere. Ji Song tried to persuade him, but seeing his firm attitude, he didn't say anything more.
As the adopted daughter of the queen, the royal family is also half of You Ning's natal family.
As a natal family, dowry is of course indispensable.
I don’t know the details, but I learned from my best friend Li Chengqian that the dowry this time was not small.
Now everyone in Chang'an knows about this, especially the carriages that come out of Zhuque Gate every day, which are the objects of excitement for the people.
There were so many carriages pulling things that it took a whole day to pull them all, which made people marvel at the wealth of the royal family.
Even the princesses that the Supreme Emperor married not long ago were not so grand.
This made several princesses feel very unbalanced, and they all ran to the palace to cry to the Supreme Emperor.
Although I don’t know what the Supreme Emperor said, since they left the palace, these princesses have been confined to the Prince Consort’s Mansion and ordered to be strictly disciplined by the Prince Consort.
Pingyang, the eldest princess who was in charge of the clan's daughters, also warned them. Now, many jealous people could see the powerful connections and background of Hou Jisong.
The emperor, the empress, and the eldest princess, the four most noble people in the Tang Dynasty, all stood up for the good marquis. Even if the others had some small thoughts, they could only carefully hide them when they saw this situation.
In addition to these material things, there are also hundreds of servants, half male and female, singers, etc., and even a house was awarded.
In the past few days, both Chongrenfang and Chongyifang were busy with traffic and people, and there were also congratulatory gifts sent in advance by noble families.
This kind of wedding caused a sensation in Chang'an even before it started.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people of Chang'an had never seen such a grand wedding, which made them full of curiosity.
Ji Song didn't take it seriously at first, but as more and more people gave gifts and the gifts became more and more valuable, he had to pay attention to them!
"Old Zheng, you have been at home for many years. You know the rules at home."
Ji Song looked at Zheng Li with a serious expression.
"Who sent these things, you have to record them clearly, and don't leave anything out. You know better than me what things can be collected and what things cannot be collected."
Ji Song looked at the things in the room and felt a headache. Do these people don't understand anything, or are they pretending not to understand?
That's right, someone gave him loose money, and it was still gold, a full thousand taels of gold. Although he didn't care, the nature was course the person who sent these was not from the Tang Dynasty. If someone was really so unwise, he would have ordered them thrown out long ago.
Hu merchants, this special group that traded between the Tang Dynasty and the West, sent the gold when they learned about the wedding of Marquis Hao.
It's not enough if we don't accept them. It's not them who come, but their slaves. After arriving at the Hou Mansion, it's like if you don't accept them, we won't be able to complete the task. If we can't complete the task, we will have no choice but to die.
What do you want Ji Song to do?Can you really see blood on this happy day?
"How could they do this? Even the barbarians in the grassland would not dare to do this!" Li Chengqian was also shocked after learning about this! He had just calculated under the leadership of Ji Song that there were more than [-] Hu merchants who came to give gifts, and they were all gold.
It's like they can only get away with gold.
After learning about their method of giving gifts, Xiao Li Chengqian had seen the world and was shocked by such a barbaric incident.
"It's nothing surprising. Gold is the most precious thing there. Logically speaking, it's not wrong for them to do this, but in Datang."
He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, the meaning is self-evident!
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ji Song's helpless look.
If there was any secret deal between Ji Song and these Hu merchants, or something that harmed the Tang Dynasty, he would not believe it.
But these Hu businessmen made things difficult for Brother Song.
If they don't accept it, those Hu merchants may think that the Tang Dynasty thinks of if it were accepted, no one would have the guts to accept such a huge batch of gold!
If the imperial censors or Wei Zheng knew about this, Ji Song would not be able to get through easily this time. Someone might still make a fuss about this matter.
Even if you can't defeat Ji Song, you still have to disgust him.
"Forget it, I'll leave these to you!" Ji Song said helplessly.
Li Chengqian's eyes widened and he looked at Ji Song in disbelief, wanting to make sure he heard correctly? When Ji Song saw his expression, he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I want you to leave it to His Majesty. What do you think?"
"Uh"
Li Chengqian almost choked to death after being retorted by Ji Song. Can't he finish his sentence at once?If you have to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence, his happiness will be in vain.
Seeing so much gold, it would be a lie to say that you are not tempted. The eldest grandson has always advocated frugality. Even the prince is not very wealthy in terms of daily expenses. It can even be said that he is in a tight situation.
But I shudder to think about it if my father knew that he had swallowed this batch of gold.
Ji Song knew what he was thinking at a glance. It seemed that Li Shimin had left a shadow on the poor child's heart.
Xiao Li didn't dare to take it all for himself, which gave Ji Song no room to deceive others. He could only look at the gold with some nostalgia, waved his hand reluctantly, and went out.
He had seen so much gold in his previous life. It would be a lie not to be tempted, but it also depends on whether you are lucky enough to enjoy it! Ji's family has not saved so much gold in so many years. Most of it is mainly copper coins. He is really unwilling to hand it all over.
But seeing Chen Shou protecting Li Chengqian, Ji Song simply turned a blind eye and went to prepare for the wedding tomorrow.
If he stayed any longer, he couldn't guarantee whether he would simply kill someone to silence them for these things! (End of this chapter)
