Chapter 128 Yinlan gets married, with red makeup
Wei Yu took out a gold ingot.
The Minister of Rites stared with wide eyes, but quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"No, no, no! As an official appointed by the court, how could I knowingly break the law and accept bribes?"
"How is this a bribe? It's a reward."
The Minister of Rites was truly terrified. "Your Majesty, if you have any instructions, please let me know. I really cannot accept these gold ingots."
Wei Yu forced the gold ingots into the hands of the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites quickly put the gold ingot into his sleeve pocket.
"You should know that my sister is going to marry Master Xiaobai on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, which is just over two months away."
"I would like to ask the Minister to help prepare for my sister's wedding."
The Minister of Rites said, "The marriage between the Third Miss and Master Xiaobai was granted by the Emperor. The Ministry of Rites should prepare all matters for the two newlyweds. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"With the words of the Minister, I feel relieved. Then, could you please bring a few people to help me pack up my sister's dowry? I will choose a date to send it to the Wei Mansion, and the third young lady will marry from the Wei Mansion."
"Yinsheng, take the Minister to warehouse number two."
Yinsheng took the Minister of Rites to warehouse No. 2.
It was just a matter of counting and putting away the dowry, and the Minister of Rites thought he could do it alone. However, when he saw that he couldn't do it at all, he finally understood why the Queen Mother said she would bring a few people with her.
The Minister of Rites had no choice but to go back and ask for help.
While the Minister of Rites was away to get some help, Wei Yu took Yin Lan to the Shang Gong Bureau.
She wanted to find someone from the Shanggong Bureau to make a wedding dress and headdress for Yinlan.
She had a deep exchange of views with the palace lady, the maker's office and the treasure room regarding Yinlan's wedding dress and jewelry, and then measured Yinlan's body size before leaving with satisfaction.
After returning, the Minister of Rites and his men had already packed up the dowry that Wei Yu had saved for Yin Lan, which weighed as much as eighty loads.
Not only Yin Lan, but even Wei Yu himself was shocked. He didn't expect that he had quietly accumulated so many things.
It is said that the emperor will give rewards for granting marriages, but I don’t know how much. I have to ask. If it is not enough, I can buy some more myself.
Wei Yu covered his face, feeling like he was marrying off his daughter.
Another super generation increase.
It was dinner time when she returned to Chengming Palace, and Si Muzhen was already waiting for her to eat.
During the meal, Wei Yu asked about Yin Lan's reward.
Si Muzhen said he was not prepared.
When Wei Yu was about to overturn the table, Si Muzhen smiled and took out a big key.
"You can take your pick of what's inside."
The expression on Wei Yu's face changed 180 degrees.
“The boss is awesome.”
After dinner, Wei Yu rushed to Si Muzhen’s small warehouse.
As soon as the door of the small warehouse was opened, in the center was a crane statue as tall as Wei Yu, made of pure gold. Surrounding the crane were several golden turtles made of pure gold.
The smell of money hit me.
"So flashy..."
"Boss, I want this."
Yin Lan trembled and hurriedly took Wei Yu out of the warehouse, "Sister, my dear sister, you dare to take it but I dare not accept it."
It is said that this crane was a tribute sent by Persia to demonstrate the friendship between the two countries. How could it be given to her as a dowry?
Absolutely not. What if it provokes a conflict between the two countries?
Wei Yu looked at the pitiful Yin Lan, struggling to pull at the pure gold crane.
The clear eyes are full of "as if".
Seeing that Yinlan was about to cry, Wei Yu reluctantly let go of Xianhe.
"Alright, pick whatever you like. Since the emperor asked us to choose, it should be something that pleases people. Just pick whatever you like and we'll move right away."
Yinlan said that she couldn't let go at all, but she was afraid that if she didn't choose well, her queen would get anxious and really want to give the crane to her.
Yinlan picked out ten items that looked neither too ordinary nor too high-profile, but were definitely safe to buy.
Sure enough, Wei Yu said disdainfully: "The things you picked are too ordinary."
Of course, the gift you choose should be something expensive and impractical.
Sure enough, the crane is the best, but if that doesn’t work, a golden beetle will also be fine.
"That's enough. I know the Queen is worried that I will be wronged if I marry into the Bai Mansion, so she wants to support me. But it's okay. I'm the Queen's adopted sister, and they wouldn't dare do anything to me."
Wei Yu was really worried, after all, the feudal society had a strict hierarchy.
"I wouldn't dare to do that on the surface, but I don't know how to tease you behind your back."
Yinlan, in turn, comforted Wei Yu and said, "Since it happened secretly, and I didn't know about it, it won't affect me."
"That would be best... But, just in case, I'll be the officiant at your wedding. I'm going to take care of the scene."
Wei Yu turned around and left the warehouse. "I'll talk to the Minister of Rites right away and tell him not to arrange a wedding officiant."
Prosperous and trance-like...
Si Muzhen had instructed that everything should be based on the Queen's wishes. Although it was against the rules for the Queen to be the master of ceremonies, the Minister of Rites did not even try to persuade her and simply crossed out the original witness.
Wei Yu thought that the Minister of Rites was so easy to talk to because he had spent money on the game.
Wei Yu also asked Yinsheng to help buy some properties for Yinlan outside the palace, such as a pre-marital house, a shop, etc.
Yinlan reached into her large hand and pulled out several land deeds.
"This is my wedding gift to Yinlan."
Yinlan looked at Wei Yu and Yinsheng, her mouth corners turned down, she pursed her lips, and tears were swirling wildly in her eyes.
"You are so good to me...I won't get married~~"
Wei Yu wiped the tears from her cheeks, but he didn't realize that his own tears were also overflowing from his eyes.
"Isn't it our duty to be nice to you?"
When Wei Yu's soul first came over, there were only Yinlan and Yinsheng by his side. The three of them depended on each other and had life-long friendships.
“Yinsheng and I are your family. No matter what happens in the future, you can rely on us.
"If anyone from the Bai Mansion dares to bully you, just complain to us and we will help you find a place to fight."
"In short, don't let yourself be wronged."
The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, just like when Wei Yu had just woken up after being in a coma for three years.
Si Muzhen was outside the door and didn't know whether he should come in.
He really wanted to say: Yinlan just left the palace to get married, it doesn't mean they will never see each other again.
Time soon arrived on the eighth day of June.
Wei Yu accompanied Yin Lan to the Wei Mansion a few days in advance.
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the wedding ceremony officially begins~~"
Because Wei Jianlin was still at the border, the parents Yinlan bid farewell to were Wei Yu and General Wei.
After saying goodbye, Xi Po carried Yin Lan on her back and walked out of the Wei Mansion gate.
Bai Shuyang was already waiting at the door on a big horse. He led Yinlan by the hand and walked her onto the flower bridge before he mounted the horse himself.
The sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers rang out, and a huge wedding procession that seemed to have no end set off.
Along the way, servants distributed wedding candies and cakes to passers-by.
Passerby A: "Whose daughter is getting married? This is as grand as when a prince marries his princess."
Passerby B: "Of course! I just counted the dowry and it's exactly 168 units."
Passerby C: "Don't you know? The youngest daughter of the Wei family is getting married."
Passerby Ding: "The Wei family has two daughters. I remember the youngest daughter is the current queen."
Passerby C: "This is the adopted daughter of the Wei family."
Passerby B: "Why is there such a big fuss about just one adopted daughter?"
Passerby C: "That's different. She's someone the Empress values so the Guards wouldn't dare to look down on her."
Passersby cast envious glances at them.
