Chapter 554 1.554 One Person Attains the Tao...
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, a marriage proposal spread to Qiao's residence, and immediately knocked out the whole family, and even the whole capital!
All the servants from the Qiao family, from the old lady to the young servants, knelt in front of the main hall to receive the order.
When they heard the decree and said, "Miss Qiao's mansion is gentle and graceful, especially the princess", some girls and servants who didn't know a certain child didn't say much, they just showed dumbfounded faces.
But the old lady couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth.
What do you mean? Who is it? That little girl Qiao Mu can still be worthy of these eight characters? Don't be joking about being gentle or something, okay?
At the end of the imperial decree, Qiao Zhongbang and Wei Ziqin were also mentioned. The king said that the couple had contributed to raising the princess, and specially promoted Qiao Zhongbang as Marquis of Jiayuan. Mansions, jewellery, brocade food, etc.
The couple looked at each other in bewilderment, Zhang Er King Kong couldn't figure it out.
On the contrary, Second Uncle Qiao poked his elder brother immediately, winked and told him to accept the order quickly.
The elder couple of the old Qiao's family hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude, and received the imperial edict respectfully. Uncle Qiao smiled and handed half a foot of cloth to the eunuch who passed the edict, and he was very generous.
Nowadays, giving any gold, silver and jewelry is not as appropriate as giving cloth and food.
Now that the production of ramie is about to stop, the price of fabrics is also rising day by day.
Mojing City is still considered good, and the inventory is still abundant. In some other fortifications, the clothes of ordinary people have not been changed for several years, and they can last for another two years if they are mended.
The half a meter of fabric given by Uncle Qiao can be exchanged for three liters of rice when going out, which is enough for ordinary people to save for half a month.
So this was considered a generous reward, and the eunuch who delivered the decree stretched out his hand to take it with a smile, and his attitude towards Qiao's family improved a lot, and he was full of compliments.
This mansion in Qiao's Mansion was gifted by the crown prince when he first came to Beijing, but the crown prince has never revealed his identity to his parents-in-law at the same time, so the couple are still kept in the dark.
After the decree was obtained, everyone in Qiao's residence hurriedly packed up their things, and took the whole family, old and young, to move to Jiayuan Hou's residence.
Jiayuan Hou Mansion is located on Minshun Street in Mojing. Its scale is very grand. There are several courtyards inside. The gardens alone are divided into five or six sizes.
Everyone naturally left the largest Nanzhu Garden to the Crown Princess, and the others chose their favorite gardens to live in.
Qiao's family is small, and after the whole family moves in, more than half of the entire Hou Mansion will be vacant.
The old lady has been a little bit powerless in recent years. After moving into the Longevity Court, she hastened to rest. The rest of the family and the servants outside the house, counting the imperial gifts, etc., all fell on Wei Ziqin.
After waiting for half an hour, the matter of marrying the crown princess had already spread throughout the capital.
When Queen Zhao heard that the king pointed out such an inexplicable family to her precious son, how could she sit still? Immediately, he took his personal nurse with him, and hurriedly searched for the king's imperial study.
The whole Mo Jing had exploded into chaos at this time.
From the princes and ministers down to a commoner who picks up trash, everyone kept saying "Did you hear that? Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness to marry him".
