Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 26: Tsk, what's the point of a generous betrothal gift? It's just a ghost marriage
Xie Anfeng, Xie Yu and Old Madam Xie were overjoyed and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Prince Jing and Duke Xun laughed and said, "Hurry up and accept the betrothal gift from Lord Gu!"
The one who read out the list of betrothal gifts was not an ordinary servant, but General Wei Ziying of the Qianniu Guard.
"A pair of vases inlaid with pearls and eight treasures"
"Ten pieces of silk."
"Five Hundred Pieces of Brocade"
"Five Hundred Rolls of Silk"
"Five Hundred Hectares of Good Farmland"
"Two Hundred Thousand Taels of Silver"
"Twenty thousand taels of gold"
……
The whole place was in an uproar!
The ones who carried the betrothal gifts were the Imperial Guards.
Uniform armor and royal-standard gift boxes.
They were carried into Xie's house like a stream of water.
Soon, the front yard was filled with things, and the whole place was a sea of red.
These are definitely not the ones on the list of betrothal gifts from the Marquis’ Mansion, but... Xie Zhaozhao doesn’t know where these betrothal gifts came from!
She had a vague guess in her mind, perhaps, the betrothal gifts were prepared by Emperor Hui for this minister?
After all, he missed out on marriage for the sake of the court and became an old man.
Yuanyuan was so excited that her eyes turned red and she started crying: "Miss, Miss, Lord Gu thinks too highly of you."
What is the second lady’s betrothal gift?
He even ran up to the lady and jumped around. It was such a quick and satisfying slap in the face!
Xie Zhaozhao was stunned, listening to Lord Qianniuwei's announcement. Everyone in the yard was sincerely happy and envious, but she said nothing.
Manman smiled for a while and then her face fell.
The betrothal gift is generous, but Lord Gu hasn’t come back yet!
When Xie Xiangxiang and Xie Tingting heard Lord Wei reading the list, the smiles on their faces fell. Their eyes turned red with jealousy and their fingers were almost broken.
"Tsk, what's the point of a generous betrothal gift? What's the point of the emperor's favor? It's still a ghost marriage!" Xie Tingting said hatefully.
Yes, Xie Xiangxiang suddenly became excited.
The betrothal gift is good, but where is the person?
Lord Gu was indeed the emperor's favorite. Even after his death, a ghost marriage would be arranged for him with a top-notch lady.
This is an attempt to tie Xie Zhaozhao to Gu Shaoyu. Once the betrothal gifts are given, Xie Zhaozhao will have to marry him holding the tablet.
Isn't this how the term "wanter" came about? !
Xie Tingting was anxious and wanted to see the funeral report immediately saying that Gu Ge Lao was dead. She asked Xie Xiangxiang: "Second sister, is the information that Gu Ge Lao was dead true?"
Xie Xiangxiang said with certainty: "Don't worry, it's definitely accurate. It's already the early afternoon, where's Lord Gu? Is there any sign of him yet?"
"Second sister, how did you determine this? Where did you get the information?"
"I...I can't say." Xie Xiangxiang didn't say anything now.
She had to wait until the news of Lord Gu's death came out, and then telling it to others would be a thousand times more shocking!
Xie Wanwan and Xie Xiuxiu originally followed Xie Xiangxiang to watch the fun, but were taken away by their mother with an excuse.
His Majesty has proposed marriage to Lord Gu, and the Imperial Guards have been sent out to carry the betrothal gifts. Even if Lord Gu dies in the line of duty, the eldest lady will still have an extremely glorious life.
The second and third wives are already invisible, so don’t be someone else’s gun.
The betrothal gifts were large and particularly expensive. Wei Ziying read out the list and every time he sang a line there was a burst of applause.
Until the singing ended, the whole yard became a sea of joy.
Today the palace has also invited relatives and friends to watch the ceremony and have fun together with the people.
The Xie family set up a row of snack tables outside the gate, with various wedding cakes and even rock honey, and the people could take what they wanted.
The courtyard invited singers and jugglers, and also set up a game area with various games such as pitching pots and archery for people to play.
Xie Xiangxiang's younger brother Xie Jin, who is eleven years old this year, was playing the game of tossing pots with his cousins Xie Jue from the second room and Xie Lang from the third room.
A group of people including Zhou Linglu, the grandson of Prince Jing, were also playing the game of pitching pots. They set up a separate game and everyone put in a bonus.
Because they were placing bets, everyone played very seriously, and from time to time someone would hit a grand slam, and the onlookers would all go over there.
Seeing the constant cheering over there, brothers Xie Jin, Xie Jue and Xie Lang ran over and insisted on placing their bets.
Zhou Linglu said: "We want to play for money, do you have money?"
Who are you looking down on? Xie Jin proudly took out two taels of silver. One tael of silver is 1000 coins!
Xie Jue and Xie Lang followed suit and placed bets, but after a few rounds, they found that the three Xie Jin brothers were too weak and Zhou Linglu and his group were unwilling to play with them.
"Can we play something bigger?" Xie Jin thought that with two taels of silver, even if each hand was worth a hundred coins, he could play a lot of games.
Zhou Linglu didn't want to play with them. It was too boring and their play was so bad. If word got out that they were playing with a bunch of little brats, it would be embarrassing.
Xie Jin blushed and said, "One round, one tael. Do you want to do it?"
With such an offer of money, Zhou Linglu and his bunch of second-generation rich people happily accepted it.
They lost very quickly and all the money in Xie Jin, Xie Jue and Xie Lang's pockets was gone.
Xie Jin said that he would buy it on credit first. Since it was in his house anyway, he could just go to the courtyard and get it later.
Handful, handful, and handful again.
In less than an hour, the three brothers Xie Jin, Xie Jue and Xie Lang lost more than fifty taels.
Xie Jue and Xie Lang didn't dare to play anymore.
"You help me get it back, and we'll turn the tables."
Xie Jue is twelve years old, and his skills are better than Xie Jin and Xie Lang. Xie Jin was so frustrated by his defeat that he begged Xie Jue to play a big game for him to make a comeback.
"One hundred taels per round."
When Xie Lang saw that they had lost more than three hundred taels of silver, he quietly slipped away.
He was the eldest son of the third room. He was very scared after losing money, so he went back and admitted his mistake to his mother: "Mother, I didn't dare to play anymore after losing six taels. Xie Jin has already lost more than three hundred taels."
Mrs. Xie was so frightened that her scalp went numb, but she also felt inexplicably happy in her heart. She immediately dragged him to find Xu.
When Xu heard that Xie Jin had lost more than three hundred taels, she thought Xie Lang was talking nonsense. Wasn't it just a simple game of pitching pots? How could he lose so much?
She rushed to the pot-tossing area and pulled Xie Jin's ear, but Xie Jin refused to leave and was determined to make a comeback.
Seeing that he was losing a lot of money and looked like a typical gambler, Xu thought it was not appropriate to hit him in front of so many people.
He said to Zhou Linglu angrily: "You are grown-up kids, how could you encourage him to gamble? It's just for fun, why would he bet so much?"
Zhou Linglu said innocently: "We didn't want to play with him either, but he insisted on doing this."
"He is young and ignorant. How could you lie to him?"
Zhou Linglu and the others were not happy: "Madam Xie, your son came to play with us, who can you blame? Since he said he wanted to gamble, he must admit defeat. 358 taels, not a penny less."
Xu's head was about to explode.
I lost 358 taels just for playing around!
On such a happy day, Xu absolutely could not let anyone know that her son had lost the bet, but she was unwilling to give up the money like this.
He angrily said to Zhou Linglu: "I want to ask the princess to judge the matter."
Zhou Linglu was so angry that he shouted at the top of his voice: "Why are you looking for my grandmother? The Xie family is playing tricks!"
There was a moment of silence in the crowd.
Xu wanted to cover his mouth.
Xie Yu came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Mrs. Xu could say anything, Xie Jin broke free from her hand.
Pointing at Xie Zhaozhao's betrothal gift, he shouted, "Lord Gu has died in Jiangnan, and my elder sister will be a widow anyway. If I don't spend so much money, should I ask her to take it to the Marquis' Mansion and give it to someone else?"
