Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 560 Preparing for the Dowry
Chapter 566 Preparing for the Dowry
All the more than 500 people had received their bonuses. Even though Qin Yang's voice was very good, he had rehydrated during the process, but his voice was still a little hoarse.

Everyone said a few words of praise and encouragement. There are more than 500 people, that is thousands of words!
This is not a small number!
Fortunately, Qin Yang also asked Zhang Yunji and others to present the awards with him, and some people shared the responsibility. This big show "acted" by these high-level officials finally came to an end amidst everyone's reluctance.

As the drama came to an end, the foreign officials who came to Youzhou were preparing to go back one after another.

But what surprised Zhang Yunji was that he thought that someone would go back in a few days, but it was not until three days later, not long before the New Year, that this group of people finally left Youzhou leisurely.

Before coming, most of them came with empty cars, but when they went back, they all came back with a full load!

Some people even bought a new ox-cart and horse-drawn carriage, and ordered their entourage to drive back with a cart full of New Year's goods produced in Youzhou!

"They're all bought for the New Year." Both Qin Yang and Zhang Yunji were wearing home clothes, sitting in a heated room, drinking tea together, hearing what Zhang Yunji said, Qin Yang just smiled and said.

"The things we produce in Youzhou are of high quality and low price. Many of the products are beautifully packaged and somewhat novel. They can be used as gifts during the Chinese New Year. They are economical and affordable."

Economical and affordable?
There is a sense of novelty in this statement.

Zhang Yunji really thinks this statement is good.

Yes, the things they produce are indeed economical and affordable.

Not to mention others, before winter came, Zhang Yunji also sent several cartloads of things back to his hometown, which were all given to his relatives and friends in his hometown.

There are also many gifts sent to the capital and other places, all bought locally in Youzhou.

Before coming to Youzhou to take office, no matter where you are an official, it is impossible to buy things from the local area, and most of the time you have to buy more from other places, so that you can piece together a piece that doesn’t look shabby. Anniversary gifts for everything.

But now, in Youzhou alone, there are many novelty gadgets, and it is very appropriate to put these things in the annual gift list.

Although Zhang Yunji's wife took care of the annual ceremony, Zhang Yunji knew a thing or two.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunji couldn't help asking Qin Yang: "Your Majesty, you have been in Youzhou for more than two years now, there should be a mistress in the palace, right?"

When Qin Yang came to Youzhou, it should have been before winter the year before last.

At that time, Qin Yang was already engaged to Princess Changle, but it was different for the emperor to marry a daughter.

Although there is a marriage contract, Qin Yang has not gone through the process of hiring.

Therefore, if it wasn't for Zhang Yunji's reminder, Qin Yang would have forgotten that his marriage to Princess Changle probably took place within a year or so.

This is not to say that he doesn't care about Princess Changle, it's mainly because he has never experienced marriage in this era, and in the past, he was also a single dog, watching the people around him get married was basically the first thing to do. Get the certificate, and then hold a banquet.

No one will prepare any dowry gifts anymore!
He slapped his head directly and said, "Yes, you are right! This palace should also have a mistress!"

When Zhang Yunji finished his meal and left, Qin Yang went straight to the back of the palace.

Qin's father and Qin's mother are playing chess together in the back. The old couple are usually busy with their own business, but now that winter is here, they like to sit in a warm room when it snows, so these days, apart from supporting My son went to an awards ceremony and spent most of the rest of the time in the palace.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he saw his son walking in from the outside. Qin's father hurriedly asked, "Son, what's the matter? I see you are in a hurry, but what's the matter?"

Qin's mother also looked over curiously.

Qin Yang pulled up a chair, sat next to his parents, and asked, "That's right... I've been in Youzhou for a little over two years, should I prepare for the dowry?"

He really didn't understand how to make this custom before, but after thinking about it, the emperor married a daughter, except for the stipulated part, they can be freely played!

The son-in-law does not have a hard rule for dowry, but if the son-in-law is willing to use other names to send a large amount of things to the princess as a dowry before getting married, this is completely allowed!

After all, this is not a bride price in name!
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open, can it be forbidden for prospective couples to give gifts to each other?
Qin Yang is planning to send a convoy of things to Chang'an after the beginning of spring!
This thing is to be filled into Princess Changle's dowry!That is what he thinks of as a bride price!

Hearing what Qin Yang said, Qin's father and Qin's mother looked at each other and laughed.

"If you wait for your wood to open up, the cucumber dishes will be cold. Don't worry, your mother, I have already prepared for this! For the past half a year, I have been preparing for this, and the private warehouse is already full. I bought one! However, what I prepared for your mother is just a must-have. For the rest, what is missing, what do you want to buy, you still have to see for yourself! However, these are icing on the cake. You don't have to be very anxious, but you have to have an idea in your heart now."

Qin's father also said: "You thought you were still telling me just now, and I will mention this to you after dinner today. I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to ask."

"Don't worry, son, mother will ask someone to copy the list for you later. Is it cold? Are you hungry? Do you want the back kitchen to bring you some food?"

Because it was meal time, Qin's mother asked again after she finished speaking.

Qin Yang felt relieved and said cheerfully: "Mom, it's all thanks to you and dad that my son doesn't have to worry temporarily."

Then he said, "I've already eaten. I just had dinner with Dezhi."

The one who got it was Zhang Yunji. Father Qin and mother Qin knew it, and after hearing it, they stopped saying anything.

Because the serious masters in the palace are father Qin, mother Qin and Qin Yang, and there is no serious mistress. Mother Qin thinks that the butler of the palace is very good, so she never meddles in the affairs of the palace, except for preparing the dowry I will not touch other things, so the three of them get along very easily.

The same is true for eating, and they don't have to eat together for the sake of rules.

Qin Yang is the king of Youzhou, even if he wants to make a salted fish again, he is still very busy on weekdays.

After winter, Qin's father and Qin's mother were free.

The three of them could hardly eat a piece of food. Qin Yang basically kept eating with his parents once a day or two. Normally, when he ate, the couple would have already eaten.

Mother Qin also knew this, and after her son left in a hurry, she couldn't help discussing what life in the palace would be like when Princess Changle married in the future.

"Yang'er, this kid, talks about being a salted fish, but he has really worked hard for the past two years."

"When the princess gets married, he will have one more person to hurt, one more person to ask about his health, and you and I will be relieved."
