Chapter 428 Cong'er, I'm so happy
After the family had their meal, the empress said in high spirits that she wanted to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Emperor Longxing naturally did not want to disturb the empress's interest, so he took Jia Cong with her.
"Didn't you say you would build a garden in your house so that the Queen would have an extra place to go when she's free? I see you haven't started . Could it be that you're deceiving the Queen?"
Emperor Longxing raised his eyebrow, secretly trying to sow discord between his son and daughter-in-law.
Jia Cong had no choice but to say, " I have been busy all the time, but it will start soon. It will be completed by next year."
"After all, I also want to build a new garden to marry a wife..."
The Queen looked at Jia Cong and said, "Before, you said it was built for me, but now you say it's for marrying a wife. Alas!"
The emperor stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Queen. This boy is unreliable. I will save up some money and build a big garden for you."
The queen did not appreciate the emperor's loyalty at all and even rolled her eyes at him. She was happy with neither of this father and son, as one had forgotten his mother after getting a wife and the other was just talking nonsense.
She was still saving money. How much wealth did the emperor have? As his wife, how could she not know? In the past few years, the treasury had been emptied, and the emperor didn't have much money left. Even if there was some income, it was quickly transferred to the Ministry of Revenue for spending. Recently, he did have some private wealth, which he saved up by relying on his son's business. Let's not talk about whether this money is enough to build a big garden. Even if it is enough, with the emperor's stingy and penny-spending personality, would he be willing to spend one or two million to build a garden?
Then I'm afraid we really have to wait until the sun rises from the west.
The father and son, who were disliked by the queen, looked at each other, and then hurriedly followed her.
After staying in the palace for a whole day and having dinner with the emperor and empress, Jia Cong finally left the palace with the two women.
After getting on the carriage, Daiyu and Baochai could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies relaxed involuntarily. Although the emperor and the empress were very close, how could they dare to lose their manners? Not to mention whether it would disgust the emperor and the empress, if their impoliteness made the emperor and the empress dislike Jia Cong, wouldn't it be irreparable?
Jia Cong also got on the carriage with a chuckle and sat directly between the two beauties.
Being held by Jia Cong's hand, the two of them gave Jia Cong a cold look at the same time, but did not struggle.
"Madams, please call your husband quickly!"
Baochai smiled shyly and did not respond. Daiyu spat, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. I don't understand what husband and emperor are talking about! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tell father when I get home and let him teach you a lesson with a big stick."
"Your Majesty and the Queen have issued an edict. The Imperial Clan Court will also record the Golden Book in the next two days. Can the two ladies still run away? Even if they go to Uncle Lin, what can they do? Uncle Lin and Aunt Xue have already agreed. So, the two young ladies should be obedient, otherwise, your husband will punish you according to the family rules."
The three of them played around in the carriage for a while, and then arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion. Although he spoke toughly, Jia Cong still backed down when the moment came.
After sending Daiyu into the mansion, she only met Lin Ruhai and did not even go in to have tea. Instead, she fled under Lin Ruhai's unfriendly gaze.
Afterwards, Jia Cong got on the carriage again and headed towards the Xue family.
In the carriage, Baochai took the initiative to throw herself into Jia Cong's arms, and looked at him tenderly with a pair of affectionate eyes, "Cong'er, I will finally become your wife."
Jia Cong was also somewhat disappointed. After coming to this world, Baochai was the first girl who moved him. However, at that time, he was just a concubine in the mansion. Even Xiao Que'er who followed him had a hard time. How could he dare to express his feelings to Baochai? He was not a fool. Since the beginning of the business, Baochai came to chat with him every month under the opportunity of delivering the accounts. He had vaguely sensed it.
After all, how could such a smart girl not know what doing this means?
It's a pity that a poor man dares not enter the prosperous world, and a clean man dares not miss a beautiful woman! This world is unfair but also extremely fair. The best girl, like money, can only belong to the powerful. The so-called purest love also needs enough power to maintain. Otherwise, it will not only be his misery, but also Baochai's misery. Fortunately, everything is developing in the best direction.
Several years later, he now has the capital to possess her, and the two of them have finally achieved each other's success.
"Sister Bao!" Holding the beauty in his arms, Jia Cong whispered softly. This feeling made him happy and secure. He was glad that he came to this world, he was glad that he met her, and he was also glad that he had the power to possess her.
"Cong'er will love you for the rest of my life. It will never change, in the past, now, and in the future. Cong'er is waiting for the day when Sister Bao puts on her wedding dress for me."
Baochai nodded vigorously, and then clung tightly to Jia Cong's arms, "Cong'er, I'm so happy!"
…
The Xue family’s banquet can be described in one word: luxury!
In order to prepare for the banquets for the next two days, Aunt Xue directly took out 20,000 taels of silver in cash and asked Xue Pan and Xue Ke to go shopping and arrange the things. In an era when 20 or 30 taels of silver could allow an ordinary farmer to live for a year, one can imagine what 20,000 taels of silver meant, but Aunt Xue didn't feel sorry at all.
Her daughter's marriage was settled, and her son-in-law was a champion marquis. Let alone 20,000 taels, she would be happy even if she spent 200,000 taels.
As long as they can buy it back, no matter how much money it costs, and no matter whether it is flying in the sky or running on the ground, this time, the Xue family will gain enough face.
Although the Lin family's preparations were not as lavish as the Xue family's, they were also extremely busy.
Lin Ruhai's dissatisfaction with Jia Cong was more of an old father's displeasure with the brat who stole his little cotton-padded jacket.
However, if he only looks at his son-in-law from the perspective of a father-in-law, Jia Cong is enough to satisfy him.
Although he was not very handsome, he had a certain demeanor, and he was both civil and military, held a high position, and most importantly, he was very concerned about his daughter . Such a son-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern. Therefore, Lin Ruhai was happy to see the emperor's marriage.
Although Lin Ruhai had no intention of competing with the Xue family in terms of money, he did not want his daughter to be inferior to others in this regard.
After all, it was fine for him, but he had to care about his daughter's reputation. Besides, he only had this one daughter, and all his assets would belong to her in the future. What were some of his possessions? Therefore, he waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to prepare the banquet, making sure it was a happy occasion.
