Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Obviously, none of the Jiang family members are good at pursuing personal gain. To survive in the capital, apart from being self-reliant and helping each other, the majority of the support comes from the Marquis' Mansion.

The young men of the Yong'an Marquisate did not dare to spend lavishly, as each family also had their wives' dowries to supplement their income.

But Marquis Yong'an has to prepare a dowry for Yuntang recently. It can't be too generous, but it can't be too little either. Besides being laughed at, he would also feel bad about it.

Therefore, if the dowry list was compiled, it would take up half of the assets of the Marquis's mansion, and this was still not a generous list.

After all, this is not the marriage of Marquis Yong'an's daughter, but the marriage of Princess Huguo. Wouldn't it be a joke in the capital if the dowry is too small?

But Princess Kangning tightened her dowry and ignored it, with no intention of giving Yuntang a penny.

Fortunately, Prince Cheng's Mansion will provide a dowry, and the two uncles, the Princes of the Dukes, will also provide a portion each. Add to that the dowries given by others, and the total amount will finally be generous.

But this cannot conceal the fact that the assets of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion have shrunk.

Following that is the marriage of Jiang Yanyu and Jiang Yanchong, which cannot be shabby either, as it will be difficult for the Marquis' Mansion to restore the glory of its ancestors.

Yuntang had seen through his father's difficulties from the sad expression on his face, which was why he said that there was no rush to rise and that he should first build up a family foundation.

In the past, the dowry assets of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and Princess Kangning were comparable, and they complemented each other to embellish their prosperity. But now, the Marquis' Mansion has almost spent all its assets to prepare her dowry.

Marquis Yong'an looked aggrieved and fell silent.

Yun Tang smiled and said, "Father, how many invitations have I sent out for the banquet?"

Yong'an Hou said: "The families in the capital, including the civil and military officials in the court, sent out a total of 120 tickets, and the top merchants and imperial merchants sent out 20 tickets."

"The clan gave away ten, a total of one hundred and fifty."

"I have told the clan leaders and elders that there will be many visitors that day, many dignitaries, and people with ulterior motives. The clan does not need too many people to come. Ten representatives will be enough."

"All other relatives are included in the 120 cards, including the Weiguo Mansion, the Jingguo Mansion, and the Chenguo Mansion." That includes Yuntang's fourth and fifth senior brothers and their families.

"As for the invitations to your other senior brothers, I have kept them empty. I am waiting for you to come back to discuss how to send them. After all, I have only been to Tianji Pavilion to buy things, and I have never met your eldest and sixth senior brothers."

"And Xiuyulou is not a place that the Marquis's family can visit casually if they have money... I don't know how to send an invitation. I can't just give it to the shopkeeper."

"As for the arrangements for the other members of your sect, I went to the palace to ask the emperor, and he said that the sect will not come specially to join in the fun on that day, and if there are any gifts, they will be given directly to you."

"Then there is the place for the banquet. We have already measured it in the garden. There are seats for women on one side and men on the other, separated by a curtain in the middle."

"Besides, your garden is big, and there will be many visitors, so you can't let anything go wrong."

"Therefore, I have discussed it carefully with Liu Changshi and Zheng Guanjia. Although guests are not restricted to visiting the garden that day, palace guards will be arranged everywhere."

"In addition, secret guards will be dispatched from the Marquis' Mansion and Prince Cheng's Mansion to guard some remote corners to prevent anyone from causing trouble here. The palace will also send two imperial doctors, and Prince Cheng's Mansion will also arrange a palace doctor."

"At present, the only place in your mansion that is not suitable for trespassing is Tangfeng Courtyard. When the time comes, the servants in your courtyard will guard it themselves."

Yong'an Hou felt a little better after talking about this. He smiled a little and said, "Although only 150 invitations have been sent out, there will definitely be no less than 600 guests coming."

"In addition, there are dozens of people including the King of Yan and your brother. I heard that you have friendships with the sisters in their families, so naturally you will come as well."

"I didn't even give them an invitation. I just asked your brother and the others to give them a verbal invitation and ask them to come and help and bring the sisters over for a look."

"But they all sent invitations to their respective families, and they were also among the 120 invitations, and several others were among the 20 invitations."

"I heard that your eighth and eleventh senior brothers also moved to the capital and live nearby. I haven't visited them yet. How should I send them the invitation?"

Marquis Yong'an talked about some detailed arrangements and then looked at Yuntang inquiringly.

Yun Tang said, "I already invited them yesterday. Please send separate invitations to the Lan and Wang families."

"Eighth Senior Brother's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and second uncle and second aunt are all here. Eleventh Senior Brother and Twelfth Senior Brother are husband and wife, and they only have a pair of children and no other family members. Just prepare some gifts and ask Butler Hu to deliver them."

"I've been busy visiting guests these days, so I may not be able to meet the host. Just send the invitations as usual." Yuntang said.

Marquis Yong'an nodded. He already knew that Princess Chenghe was from a branch of the Lan family, the richest family in the southern region. The second son of the Lan family was Yuntang's eighth senior brother, a royal merchant.

If it weren't for this relationship, two invitations should have been sent.

Another senior brother is from the Southern Territory Divine Sword Sect, which is also very famous. He wants to find the Divine Sword Sect to make a good sword...

Yuntang was thinking about the number of guests.

There are many guests coming, and among them there are wealthy people. It is naturally an opportunity given by her father specially. If wealthy people can come to attend the banquet of the Princess Protector of the Country, how can they not come with gifts?

But at the same time, wealthy families can also get to know more powerful people through attending banquets, which is an opportunity provided to them by the Princess Protector of the Country.

It's a mutually beneficial relationship, and no one suffers.

Yun Tang smiled and said, "Father, help me spread the news quietly. I have exactly 60 Ningyu Pills on hand that are being auctioned at Tianji Pavilion. I plan to sell them on that day. Each pill costs 50,000 taels, and the minimum purchase price is three."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yong'an opened his eyes wide, and the hand holding the teacup began to tremble slightly.

Fifty thousand taels! One!

But when he thought about how Princess Kangning spent 200,000 taels to buy two pills that cured a serious illness overnight, he felt much calmer.

It’s not too expensive either.

He had been to Tianji Pavilion several times recently and naturally heard about Ningyudan, which was the new favorite at the auction.

"Okay." Marquis Yong'an agreed.

"Find someone to quietly discuss the matter about Princess Kangning's serious illness a few years ago. She bought two pills from me and they cured her illness."

Yuntang lowered his voice and Marquis Yong'an was stunned for a moment.

"Don't let anyone know that my father deliberately leaked the news. The news about Ningyu Pill and its ability to cure diseases should be spread slowly outside."

"Ning Yu Dan doesn't need to be hyped up. Tian Ji Pavilion has auctioned it twice. The lowest price was more than 60,000 taels, and the highest price was more than 120,000 taels."

"I bought some goods from Tianji Pavilion to celebrate my birthday and make some extra money."

"As for the Awakening Pills and Strengthening Pills that Princess Kangning bought, just let outsiders know that the cost price is 100,000 taels. I have the goods on hand and don't plan to sell them."

"I took it out that night because I saw that Princess Kang Ning was seriously ill and had not calmed down and was showing signs of a stroke. If someone wants to buy it, they will naturally come to ask, and I will then make an offer."
