Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

The Xu family has been very busy these days.

The second young lady had just celebrated her birthday, and there were less than ten days left before the wedding day, so everyone in the house was working together to prepare everything.

Xu Yixing was already very familiar with the wedding rules and palace etiquette. She was not unfamiliar with them, so she could understand them immediately after they were explained. Even the maid sent by Lu Anyuan was amazed and said that the second young lady Xu understood them immediately.

The dowry that her father prepared for her was also placed in a large red box. According to custom, the number of dowries for women in Daxia was set. For example, ordinary people could have 12 dowries, while officials could choose 48, 66, or 128 dowries.

As for what to put in these boxes and whether there will be time to carry them out to show off, it is all up to the girl's family to decide.

The dowry that his father prepared for Xu Yiyan's marriage was exactly one hundred and twenty-eight loads, which was exactly the same number that he had brought to the Sun Mansion.

When Xu Yixing went to the warehouse where the big boxes were stored to look over them, Gu was also there, smiling. Gu was not stupid. The 128 loads of dowry were taken out to the prince's mansion, and it was also for the Xu family's reputation. She would not stop it, but she didn't know if she would be as happy as she looked on the surface.

Xu Yixing was still somewhat moved. Last time, she thought that she would not be able to use the dowry. Unexpectedly, when she actually got married, her father kept his promise.

"Sister, congratulations. Dad really loves you very much." Xu Yiwen also looked at the list in his hand and congratulated her sincerely.

"Yes, but after I leave, you will be the only one left at home. Will you feel bored?"

"Probably not... I secretly learned from Uncle Xu that Dad plans to send me to Wansong Academy in the west of the capital after your wedding is over. I probably won't be able to stay at home for a few more days."

"Oh? That's good! I heard that many officials' children study at Wansong Academy. I guess you should know some of them, right?"

Xu Yiwen smiled. He didn't care where he studied. His level was just that level anyway. With the help of his father's connections, he could just find a job in Beijing.

"Sister, this is my wedding gift to you. Take it home and open it if you miss your family."

Xu Yixing took the dressing box and opened it. It turned out to be a set of wooden puppets. There were five puppets inside, each one was lifelike and their original features could be seen.

"This one?" Xu Yixing pointed at one. The little man was wearing red clothes and a gold necklace, and it was obviously himself.

"Although my sister had an accident, we are still a family after all, so I still asked someone to make a little doll of her." Xu Yiwen said this with some sadness, but soon put on a smile again.

"Look at this. I had someone make it based on Aunt Liu's portrait. I don't know if it's authentic or not."

Xu Yixing looked over and, as expected, he originally thought that these five were his three siblings, Gu, and his father. However, upon closer inspection, the little person next to his father was clearly Aunt Liu.

"It looks like it! But I have to keep it away. If Gu sees it, she won't be happy!"

"kindness!"

Xu Yixing returned to his room with the gift, thought for a moment, and took down his father's figurine and put it at the bottom of the box. In this way, there were only the three of them and Aunt Liu in the box, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

As for Old Man Xu, after several days of fruitless investigation, Xu Qian finally received a negative reply: there was no expense beyond daily expenses in the second young lady's yard. If there was any, it was just that she moved a silver mirror from the eldest young lady's yard and placed it in her own place.

"It seems that I have wronged Yi Yan." Father Xu put down the work at hand and sighed with relief. In this case, even if the adventure that day was man-made, it was most likely not related to this second daughter.

"Xu Qian, do you think Yi Yan can earn a good future for our family?"

"General, whether the second lady can succeed or not depends mainly on whether the seventh prince can help." The hint in Xu Qian's words was obvious, but Old Man Xu didn't seem to have any opinion.

"Wait a little longer and see again."

"What are you still looking at?" Xu Qian didn't understand. Since the Xu family had already boarded the Seventh Prince's ship, of course it would be best to give him full support. Supporting one's own son-in-law would always bring higher returns than supporting other princes.

"Seventh Prince... I always feel that the emperor doesn't seem to like him very much, and the future crown prince position may not be in his hands."

Xu Qian thought for a moment and said, "If we talk about the most likely person, it would be the Second Prince. But my family and the Second Prince... I'm afraid we can't get along."

"Hmph! Even if the Seventh Prince cannot become the emperor in the future, it will not be the Second Prince who will take the throne!" Old Man Xu's words were not exaggerated, but an objective statement of the fact.

Once the second prince ascends the throne, the Xu family will be miserable. From the Sun Mansion, the Wu Mansion to the token and the kidnapping last time, the feud is so deep that there is really no way to save it. Therefore, no matter from which angle, Father Xu will find a way to prevent the second prince from ascending the throne.

"General, you have your own arrangements, and I will obey them!"

When Old Man Xu saw Xu Qian clasping his fists, he quickly helped him up and said, "We are old friends, don't do these empty things! Yan'er will be leaving in a few days, so you have to make good arrangements!"

"Of course!"

"By the way, is there anything unusual with Madam?"

Xu Qian shook his head: "Fortunately, Madam is still very clear-headed about these major matters. She hasn't expressed any opinions these days, so I guess she won't do anything."

"That's good, that's good. I also know that Shuang'er has her own merits, but what happened a few years ago has damaged the mother-daughter relationship between her and Yan'er. I am worried that they will not get along well in the future."

"How could that be? The Second Miss is the most polite one. In fact, no matter what, it's all up to you, General. As long as you give the order, are you afraid that Madam and the Second Miss will have an opinion?"

Old Man Xu nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Until the night before her wedding, Xu Yixing suddenly received a letter from Lu Anyuan, which was sent by Ah Da. The content was very simple, with only eight characters:

The yard is clean and I am waiting for you to come.

"Showy." This is all Xu Yixing's evaluation of these words.

What the hell is this? Why are you still sweeping the floor? Are you a monk in the mountain gate who sweeps the floor every day? Really, if you can't write love poems, you don't have to write them. Why do you do this kind of weird things?

She said so, but she still put the piece of paper under the jewelry box in her hand. She would pack it up tomorrow morning and take it away.
