He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

After He Lie and He Yue got together, they began to send things to Lu Yan and Lu Sheng from time to time to express their gratitude. Lu Yan also asked Lu Sheng to deliver something to Tu Mu, thanking him for reminding him of the bloody disaster and saving her life.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Holy Lord's birthday. The annual banquet would only invite relatives of the emperor and dignitaries above the third rank. Lu Sheng and his group didn't even have a chance to attend, so they were given a holiday.

Giving gifts was always the highlight. The gifts given by the ministers were painless and the Holy Emperor didn't express much until the second prince presented a screen with a hundred years of longevity made by his family.

This picture of a hundred years of longevity was handwritten by the second prince using different fonts, with the characters for "hundred years of longevity" written in different fonts. In the center of the largest character for "longevity" is the little emperor's grandson's small handprint. After the words were written, they were printed on the screen. The second princess used the technique of double-sided embroidery to embroider them stitch by stitch.

The second prince's handwriting is strong and powerful, and the second prince's concubine is superb in skills. The most important thing is that this gift is full of the second prince's family's thoughts. The emperor is a person who values ​​family ties very much, and it really fits the emperor's veins. The Holy Lord Longyan was so happy that he couldn't put it down.

The prince sneered. I knew he had to make a fuss about it again. Ever since he gave birth to a son, he has been playing the piano endlessly.

After seeing the second prince's gift, everyone was sweating in their hearts for the prince. It was not easy to overpower the second prince. But the prince didn't take it seriously and gave instructions to his servants. After a while, two servants came up carrying a big box.

The Holy Master couldn't help but sit up straight and asked curiously: "What have you prepared?"

The prince smiled slightly and opened the box, which contained twenty-six kinds of things, large and small: "Father, please see, these are the specialties I collected from the twenty-six states of our Dali dynasty. Every little bit of care can be seen from a small perspective." Come on, let me see with your own eyes the power of our Dali Dynasty."

There are very representative things from each state, such as antlers from Liaozhou, iron daggers from Hengzhou iron mines, rice wine from Jingzhou, coconuts from Qiongzhou...

The box was carried to the Holy Lord. There was a booklet inside, which specifically introduced the folk customs and specialties of each state. The Holy Lord looked at it while stroking the things inside, and his heart was agitated.

He grew up on a horse. After he sat on the throne, he had no chance to see the great rivers and mountains again. This time the prince's gift once again aroused the deepest desire in his heart.

The Holy Spirit was so excited that his throat was clogged and his eyes were moist. He raised his head and said, "Okay, okay, my son understands my heart very well."

The prince once again completely overwhelmed the second prince. As soon as his gift was presented to him, the emperor immediately forgot about the hundred-year-old screen. The prince is also the best at understanding people's hearts. He knows very well that for an emperor with great ambitions like the Holy Emperor, family affection is a rare soft part in his heart, but his ambition and great cause are what he misses most.

The second prince also knew that he had lost again, and his teeth were almost broken, so he could only force a smile.

A few days after the Lord's birthday, the day came when Liu Qingyan and Chu Tiankuo decided to get married. Liu Hongtu had been honest and upright for many years, and he risked his life to collect a dowry of 64 cents for Liu Qingyan.

The dowries given by wealthy families in ancient times were quite spectacular. As the saying goes, "Thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup", everything from jewelry to large beds, all kinds of daily necessities, and a coffin at the end. The discerning family would even give it to the husband. A well is dug in my family, which means that my daughter does not depend on her husband’s family for survival. She is supported by her parents’ family from birth to death. Even drinking water comes from the well dug by her parents’ family.

A woman's dowry is generally divided into two parts. One part is the dowry, which the elders in the family have saved from childhood, including furniture and jewelry. The second part is called add-on dowry, which is given to her by her relatives and friends before marriage.

Two days before the wedding, Lu Yan went to the Liu family to find Liu Qingyan and bought her a lot of things. A box of nine huge northern pearls from the North Sea sent by Helie Toheyue was given directly to Lu Yan. Yan even had her head and face specially made with ruby ​​​​and sent it as well.

When Lu Yan arrived at Liu Qingyan's boudoir, Liu Qingyan was embroidering her hijab, and only a few sisters from her family were accompanying her. When Liu Qingyan saw Lu Yan coming, she immediately threw the needle and thread aside: "You're here, I really can't go on anymore."

Lu Yan picked up the hijab and looked at it: "Did you embroider it yourself? Sure!"

A sister laughed and said, "What can I do? Everyone else embroiders their own wedding dresses. She doesn't want to, so she just embroiders a hijab and makes do. She can't do it."

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips: "I'm not good at this thing. Do you have to force me to be unhappy on this big day?"

Lu Yan threw the hijab aside: "If you don't want to embroider, then don't embroider. What kind of reputation can Chu Tiankuo see with the lamp lit at night? No one's attention is on the hijab. And you married him to be the head of the household. My mistress, whose mistress does her own sewing? There is no need to embarrass yourself."

Liu Qingyan held Lu Yan's hand excitedly: "You are absolutely right."

All the sisters laughed: "She likes to hear what you say."

Lu Yan said to her sincerely: "There are some things I still have to tell you before you get married. Although I believe in Chu Tiankuo's character and I believe he will treat you well, no matter who you marry, getting married is very important to a woman." There is no doubt that it is a shackles. This shackles not only exist in actual rules, but also exist in spirit. I hope you will always remember what Liu Qingyan is like. You are about to become a wife and a member of your family. You are a matron, and you will become a mother in the future. But no matter what your identity is, don’t forget that you are Liu Qingyan first, and the most important thing is yourself."

Liu Qingyan seemed to understand, and nodded in confusion. Lu Yan could tell by looking at her expression that many things could only be understood through personal experience. The married sisters sitting around all listened. They had really come this far and understood what Lu Yan wanted to express. They all looked thoughtful.
