The next day.

"Concubine Jia, our family has sent you a reward."

Cuibai brought two palace maids and two eunuchs, all holding things in their hands.

"Reward: Concubine Jia, two strands of pearl bracelets, a pair of gold-studded mother-of-pearls, and two pieces of poplin."

"Concubine Jia, would you like to thank me for the reward?"

Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin thanked them before looking at the things on the table.

The pearl bracelet is made of pink pearls, and the gold flower mother-of-pearl is inlaid with emerald stones in the center. One piece of poplin is autumn color, and the other is lake green.

They are all good stuff and the colors and styles suit her.

Jia Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief.

Bao Qin said happily: "Congratulations, girl. It seems that His Highness still likes you!"

With a smile on his face, Jia Yuanchun gently touched the piece of autumn-colored poplin: "It's very good. Hold Qin, let's make these two pieces of cloth quickly, it's the season."

"Wear Hua Tian too, let them take a good look!"

Cen Mingche carefully ordered the reward. After all, Jia Yuanchun served him very carelessly on the pillow. Even the sister in the building had to pay night wages, right?

But what concerned him more today was another thing.

It's time for him to get ready for marriage.

Although she got married at the age of 16 and opened a house at the same time, it still takes time to follow the three books and six etiquette.

Today is the time to collect taxes.

Those who accept the levy also accept the betrothal wealth.Zheng means success.Get the betrothal money first and then get married.

When I was asking for names and names, Cen Mingche was busy with the Peach Blossom Temple case and handed it over to the Twelve Supervisors.

But now he has no errands to attend to, and accepting the levy is a big gift. If he wants to give a gift book, he can't justify not showing up.

Besides, now that Liu Xianghan has changed his mind, he is no longer so disgusted with her.Besides, Cen Mingche wanted to know more about how Liu Qingyu was adapting to this shell.

To accept the levy, you need to send a betrothal gift.

The prince's betrothal gift is not just silver, but also includes jewelry, clothing, various gold and silver utensils, and even a farm.

There are a total of 64 units, all of which are filled to the brim with gold and silver.

There are 2000 taels of gold alone, and 8000 taels of silver.The gold and silver were beaten into beautiful little dices, which filled several boxes and even bent the poles.

There are also eight hundred brocades and silks of various colors, all of which are fashionable and colorful.

There are also twenty pieces of jade, two jade handles, a number of gold and silver utensils, and a number of porcelain.They are all gold and silver dishes and chopsticks, tea buckets, basins, and sets of bone china, sweet white porcelain, pastel, enamel, and doucai tea sets, which are considered daily necessities.

As for wedding cakes, three animals, seafood, sugar, wine, tea, sesame seeds, etc., there is no need to go into details.

Cen Mingche rode Zidian at the front of the team, surrounded by several heroic guards, and behind him was a mighty betrothal team, swaggering all the way through the city to the Duke Li Guo's mansion.

They are also waiting in the Duke Li Guo's mansion.

"His Royal Highness has left the palace!"

"His Royal Highness is already on the main street!"

"His Royal Highness has arrived at Ping'an Street!"

"His Royal Highness the Third has arrived in front of the mansion!"

Duke Li Guo smiled and stroked his beard, and ordered his servants: "Open the door quickly! Come on, let's go and greet him together!"

Along the way, Cen Mingche attracted the attention of others.

"Is this His Highness the Third Prince?"

"His Royal Highness is so handsome!"

"Tsk, tsk, my waist and legs are strong, my posture is straight, my appearance is not bad, but it's a pity that this is settled!"

"Bah! This is His Highness the Prince! Why, with a girl like yours, can she still be a princess?"

"That's right, a pheasant is not worthy of a phoenix! His Highness the Third Highness has chosen Miss Sun from Duke Li Guo's residence. She is a person of gold and jade, so she is worthy of His Highness!"

"Hey, I'm just dreaming, can't I?"

"You don't know that the case of missing a girl in Beijing was solved by His Highness the Third Prince!"

"Huh? Is it?"

"I heard that originally Jing Zhaoyin wanted to close the case hastily. Who would have expected that His Highness the Third Highness felt that something was wrong, so he got to the bottom of it and caught the real culprit!"

"Hey! Your Highness is really responsible!"

"No, good people are here!"

There was a lot of discussion.

When he arrived at the gate of Duke Li Guo's mansion, Cen Mingche dismounted his horse and carried the betrothal gift in behind him one by one.

The servants of the family set off thousands of long firecrackers at the door, carried out several large baskets of copper coins, and scattered them among the people.

The people received the money noisily and kept saying auspicious words. The scene was very lively.

"I've seen the Third Highness!"

After seeing the ceremony, both parties went inside again.

Cen Mingche delivered a speech and said: "With the importance of husband and wife, I would like to attend the ceremony at the Duke Hui Li's house. If you have any money that is not shameful, please accept it."

Duke Li Guo said: "Thank you for your highness, I will not give up on you. I am so generous to you, but I dare not to accept it."

The two sides bowed again, exchanged letters, and then sat down to talk.

"I wonder how Miss Liu is doing lately? Ever since we left the palace, my mother misses her very much and feels very apologetic."

Prince Li Guogong said hurriedly, "My daughter is much better now. She just needs to take medicine to nurse herself back to health."

The men in the front are saying this, while the women in the back are looking at the betrothal gifts.

"Xianghan, look, how good are these pieces of jade? I'm afraid your aunt put in these pieces on a special trip. They are great things."

Princess Li Guo pointed at the opened box and said to "Liu Xianghan" with a smile.

"The palace still values ​​you, so don't be so petty."

Liu Qingyu smiled slightly.

"Look what mom said, why am I having a tantrum again?"

Concubine Li Guogong patted her hand and comforted her: "That's good. Come, follow your mother to meet the guests."

"But cheer up, don't let them see the joke."

It is a big event for His Highness the Third Highness to accept the levy. Naturally, many guests and friends will be invited to watch the ceremony.

The men in charge of each family are naturally entertained by the men in front, while the women are entertained by them.

After arriving at the scene, Liu Qingyu looked around and was attracted by a woman.

The little woman was dressed in brilliant embroidery, like a concubine or a fairy; she had a pair of triangular red phoenix eyes, and two curved willow-leaf eyebrows; she was slender and had a coquettish physique; her pink face was full of spring power, but her red lips were not open to smile. Smell first.

Liu Qingyu stepped forward slowly and asked with a smile: "Who is your sister-in-law? I have never seen her before."

Someone next to him laughed and said, "You shouldn't have known each other. This is the niece of Mr. Wang's family, the governor of Beijing. He has been raising it under his knees. He married the eldest son and grandson of Rongguo Mansion a few days ago. He is called Jia Lian. .”

"She is the sister-in-law of the Jia family. My sister has met her here."

"I've met Sister Liu."

Liu Qingyu stepped forward, took Wang Xifeng's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw this little sister-in-law, I felt that I was in love with you. I just wish we had just met today, otherwise we would have to do it early." friend's."

Wang Xifeng has a bright personality, and immediately gets off her back when she sees this.

"As soon as my sister came, I caught my attention and thought, where did this fairy daughter come from? She actually pushed me into the mud!"
