Reborn Queen

How could the emperor know that such an arrangement of his not only made Lu Yanqi very satisfied, but also fell into An Jingxing's arms.After receiving the imperial decree, An Jingxing showed a rare smile, which was different from the elegant smile in the past, but joy from the heart.

"Your Highness, this betrothal gift..." Eunuch Jiang looked at the list of betrothal gifts in his hand, and looked at An Jingxing with some uncertainty. Did he get it wrong?

"Huh? Is there any problem?" An Jingxing didn't seem to see the entanglement of the butler, and remained calm as always, but the faint smile in his eyes betrayed his current mood.

Eunuch Jiang looked at the betrothal gift list in his hand, and then at His Royal Highness, who was in a good mood, and was a little uncertain for a while: "Is this betrothal gift... a little... a little too much?"

This is what Eunuch Jiang said more politely. In fact, Eunuch Jiang would like to ask His Royal Highness, don't you think you are a bit too prodigal?As far as Eunuch Jiang took a cursory glance, the white jade flower pattern bowl, the jade chi and phoenix pattern ewer, the white jade enamel teapot with sheep's head, the white jade double baby ear cup, etc., were already priceless, needless to say The following antique calligraphy and paintings, authentic works by famous masters, are even more priceless.

You must know that the Prince's Mansion is only a superficial beauty, but in fact, the inside has long been unable to make ends meet. If it weren't for the annual allocation in the palace, these things might be pawned at some point to use for the mansion's expenses.After all, the prince is no better than King Jing, who is favored by the emperor, and his biological mother is the concubine who favors the harem, and the rewards are countless every year.

Now that His Royal Highness has written most of the treasures in the treasury, how can Eunuch Jiang's mood at this time be described as "surprised"?

"Not much, according to the dowry gifts of princess concubines in the past, this amount is always..." Regarding Eunuch Jiang's question, An Jingxing was noncommittal, is it too much?not much!I came here according to the rules, so why did I say "more"?

How can there be so many people who can marry Lu Yanqi into the family with these extraneous possessions?Besides, this has been simplified, all because Yan Qi is a man, gold and silver jewelry are useless.

Eunuch Jiang looked at the list in his hand. It is true that the betrothal gifts for princesses have always been this amount, but the "big items" such as furniture, clothing, bedding, and fabrics are most of the content. Who gets married is a treasure on the list?

Xu saw Eunuch Jiang's disapproval, and An Jingxing added: "These things are stored in the warehouse, and now they are used as betrothal gifts, so they won't be wasted."

An Jingxing can say that he can decide the dowry by himself, but An Jingxing still gives enough respect to this old man who has been serving at his side since his mother entered the palace.

Eunuch Jiang thought about it, and it was indeed the reason. Although things are precious, they can only be left to dust in the warehouse of the Prince's Mansion. Now they are taken out as a betrothal gift, just to make them see the light of day again.After all, no matter how tight the Prince's Mansion is, they cannot pawn these treasures. This is not only a disgrace to the Prince's Mansion, but also to the royal family.

Even though he knew the truth was like this, looking at such a long list, Eunuch Jiang couldn't help but feel distressed, and finally he had to fold the lists up, out of sight: "Then this servant will send the list to General Weiyuan's mansion today? "

If you ask Eunuch Jiang, the emperor is inevitably too anxious. It is the end of the new year, and every household is very busy. It is not impossible to find a suitable day to hire after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Why do you have to hurry up before the end of the year? Woolen cloth?

"...Send it over there." An Jingxing lowered his eyes, wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words in his heart, and only waved to Eunuch Jiang, asking him to give the dowry list directly to the Lu family Send it over.

An Jingxing originally wanted to say that the list of betrothal gifts would be delivered by himself, but thinking that Lai Yanqi should not be happy to see him at this time, he finally suppressed this idea.

If Lu Yanqi knew An Jingxing's thoughts at this time, he would definitely call out his injustice, why did he not want to see him?You obviously don't want to marry, but in the end you still beat her up!

Of course, at this time, Lu Yanqi has other worries:

"Eunuch..." Yun Wanyi and Lu Yuan looked at each other before turning to look at Eunuch Jiang, "Is there a mistake in the dowry list?"

It's no wonder Yun Wanyi thinks so, when the dowry list from Xiyuan Kingdom is delivered, there must be a person who "sings the list". The longer the singing, the more satisfied the husband's family is with this marriage. The little eunuch next to Eunuch Jiang sang for at least a stick of incense. Logically speaking, the Lu family should be happy.

But too many dowry gifts are not all good things, especially Yun Wanyi just listened to it, it is either "Ye Mingzhu" or "White Jade Carved Songhe Figure Screen", even if you don't need to look, Yun Wanyi knows that this list The items on the list are all priceless, which makes Yun Wanyi have to suspect, it must not be that Eunuch Jiang brought the list of warehouses in the Prince's Mansion, right?

"Mrs. Lu, this marriage is the most important thing in life. How could the dowry list be wrong?" Eunuch Jiang smiled when he heard Yun Wanyi's question. He smiled, as if he was not the one who just asked the prince in the prince's mansion if the dowry list was correct.

As he said that, Eunuch Jiang took the list from the little eunuch who was "singing the list" and presented it to Yun Wanyi: "If Mrs. Lu has any questions, just ask the servant."

"This..." Yun Wanyi frowned, took the list from Eunuch Jiang, opened it and glanced at it roughly, she didn't know if she didn't see it, she was startled when she saw it.

After seeing the list, Yun Wanyi realized that the betrothal gifts on the list were much more expensive than she imagined. The big items like furniture and mattresses that took up space were only a piece of paper, and the rest were all gold. Treasures such as silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., if you take a rough look, you can see that they are all priceless things.

Lu Yanqi was also on the scene at this time. Unlike Yun Wanyi, Lu Yanqi can be said to never forget, especially these things, they were all in his "dowry" list in his previous life. , Let yourself take it all away.What Lu Yanqi knew better was that this list can be said to account for more than half of the Prince's Mansion.

After listening to all the content sung by the "sing list", Lu Yanqi had a question in his mind: Since he is not very willing to marry himself, why did he draw up such a list?

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, this list is drawn up according to the usual practice of the crown prince, and there will be no problem." Xu Shi saw the worry of the Lu family, and Eunuch Jiang shook the floating dust in his hand again, and put the crown prince just now. What His Highness said was conveyed to the Lu family intact.

"Thank you, Eunuch, I'll take a trip in person." Eunuch Jiang said this, even if there were any doubts, Yun Wanyi could only keep it in her heart, and said, Yun Wanyi stuffed Eunuch Jiang with a purse.

Facing Yun Wanyi's purse, Eunuch Jiang did not refuse, and after accepting it with a smile, he said again: "What about Madam, this is a slave's job. The dowry will be delivered to the General's Mansion tomorrow, and I will trouble Madam at that time." Let the servants meet the previous pair, if there is any problem, just send a message to the Prince's Mansion."

"If Madam has no other orders, the servant will leave. Your Highness is still waiting for the servant to return." Looking at the expressions of the Lu family, one could tell that they had something to discuss, and Eunuch Jiang didn't stay long, so he was sure that Yun Wanyi After accepting the list, he led the people away.

After sending Eunuch Jiang away, Yun Wanyi carefully looked at the list in her hand: "What does the list... the crown prince mean?"

If the crown prince attaches great importance to this marriage, why did he say that to Lu Yuan in the first place?If it is said that the crown prince doesn't pay much attention... then why did he offer such a betrothal gift?

And Yun Wanyi's question was exactly what Lu Yanqi wanted to ask. Although Lu Yanqi didn't show it on the surface, he was still living as before, living heartlessly, but the big brother's sentence "The prince doesn't want to" came to the end. It became a lump in Lu Yanqi's heart, like a boulder pressing on his chest, and every time he thought about it, he felt so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

But according to Lu Yanqi's understanding of An Jingxing, if it was really forced, then the dowry list would never be like this.An Jingxing can only do extremely "rules". Such rules are not "conventions according to the rules" that Eunuch Jiang said today, but have all the big things that should be there. Ordinary women will not have less jewelry. What the Crown Princess should have, An Jingxing will give. Because Lu Yanqi is a man, he will not remove jewelry and use treasures instead.

Lu Yanqi really wanted to ask his own father what the prince said in the original words, but considering that his father didn't know that his elder brother had slipped his mouth, Lu Yanqi could only suppress the doubts in his heart. go down.

Lu Yuan also frowned. He also couldn't understand such a list, as if the person who said "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker" in front of him was not the one who made the list today.

"What we should worry about now...isn't it my younger brother's... dowry?" Lu Yanze's mind is simpler than Lu Yuan's. When he saw this list, besides a lot of money, the first thing he thought of was his younger brother's dowry.

If the dowry is the degree of satisfaction of the husband's family to the wife, then the dowry represents the value and confidence of the natal family to the married person.If the dowry and dowry are not equal, they will be looked down upon by the husband's family.

Although the Lu Mansion has received many rewards, it cannot be compared with the Prince's Mansion.Besides the salaries of the men, the main source of income for the Lu family is Yun Wanyi's dowry.

Although Lu Yuan and Yun Wanyi have no daughters, Yun Wanyi's dowry is naturally reserved for the three sons, but as far as this betrothal gift is concerned, Yun Wanyi's dowry may be emptied, and there is no way to make up for it. part out.

It has to be said that Lu Yanze's words directly exposed the current embarrassment of the Lu family.When it comes to power, the Lu family is not bad, but when it comes to money, the Weiyuan General's Mansion is really a bit timid, which is why, just now, Yun Wanyi wondered whether the list was another reason for making a mistake.
