Qing Jialu

A group of little girls were happily chatting and joking when suddenly a female officer walked into the yard holding a gift box.Mu Mian was the first to see it, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Why is Auntie here when you are free?"

The leading female officer smiled and said, "I'm giving the gift to Empress Dowager Guo."

When they heard that it was Concubine Guo, the other court ladies fell silent.Concubine Guo is now the most honorable master in the harem, because her child is His Royal Highness King Su, and everyone knows that he is the heir chosen by His Majesty.

Now, even Concubine Guo came to give gifts to Miss Mujin, which shows how much attention is paid to this wedding.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, curiously guessing the gift in the female officer's hand.The female official didn't hesitate, and asked someone to open the gift box, which was full of gold and silver jewelry.

"These are specially selected by our concubine for Miss Mujin. I wish you a happy life together." The female officer said with a smile.

Hibiscus Kapok thanked her with trepidation, "Thank you, Concubine Guo."

After Concubine Guo gave the gift, the other concubines also sent people to present gifts one after another, which shocked the entire Forbidden City.In the end, even His Majesty knew about it.When he was on duty in Kapok, he asked casually: "What did Concubine Guo send?"

Kapok counted in detail: "A pair of golden phoenixes with beads and silk, a pair of phoenix hairpins with emerald and silver silk, a pair of gold necklaces and silver necklaces, jade bracelets, coral bracelets, and eight pairs of ordinary gold and silver bracelets. .”

"Concubine Guo has a heart." Xiao Yi asked again, "How about the dowry you and Shen Jia prepared?"

"Return to Your Majesty, basically everything is ready. It's just that there is still a set of jade jewelry, which has not been finished yet."

"No hurry, no hurry." Xiao Yi said, "The man hasn't paid the levy yet, and we still have time to prepare."

"It's just..." Mu Mian hesitated, "Our sisters have no father or mother. Who will treat the guests? Please ask for one item. Who will decide?"

Na Zheng asked the relatives of the man's family to come to the woman's house.The official meeting of the relatives of both parties is equivalent to an engagement.After the man's family sends the dowry gift, the woman's family needs to return the gift to the man's family.

The application period is that after the man's family sets the date of marriage, he goes to the woman's family to discuss with relatives and ask for their consent.

The two sisters, Kapok and Mujin, are alone, with no elders around them.Kapok is so worried about these things that she doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi had already thought of a way, and said to Kapok, "Shen Jia can just come forward."

"In what name?" Kapok asked.After all, Mu Jin and Shen Jia have no relatives or reason.

"Let him accept you as righteous sisters, isn't that all right?"

Kapok was startled, "Would Elder Shen Ge be willing?"

"Of course I am willing." Xiao Yi smiled, "But you sisters, are you willing?"

"Of course I am willing." Mu Mian said happily, "I am grateful to be able to win the favor of the old man."

Xiao Yi smiled lightly, this was his ultimate goal of asking Shen Jia to prepare the dowry.

When Shen Jia learned that she was betrayed by Xiao Yi again, she was speechless.But for the sake of Kapok Mujin, he still agreed to accept the two as righteous sisters.

"If it wasn't too troublesome for the royal family to adopt sisters, I would have recognized them as younger sisters." Xiao Yi teased from the side, "Having two beautiful younger sisters for nothing, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"But you have to talk to me first." Shen Jia complained, "You deliberately kept it from me and watched me foolishly jump into the pit."

Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing, "Even if you know, you have to obediently jump into the pit. Besides, I asked you to help them prepare the dowry. You can't understand such an obvious reminder?"

Shen Jia was about to say that he didn't understand, when he suddenly realized something, he chuckled and said, "Mumian Mujin recognizes me as an older brother, and they will call you...sister-in-law in the future?"

Xiao Yi never thought that he would deceive himself in terms of address, he said angrily: "It's a good idea!"

Xiao Yi said that he would not buy a house for Shen Jia, but in fact he had asked Eunuch Chen to look for it.One is to facilitate Mu Jin's marriage, and the other is to avoid suspicion for Shen Jia.

Eunuch Chen has always been quick to handle affairs, and soon found a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits not far from Huangchenggen.Moreover, Eunuch Chen asked the little eunuch of the Rites Superintendent to help rearrange the house, and even the interior decorations were done, so they can move in directly.

When Xiao Yi casually told Shen Jia the good news, Shen Jia was stunned.

"Really give me a big house?" Shen Jia stared wide-eyed.He suddenly thought, isn't this what he said to Du Huan, to give his sweetheart a gift that is unexpected and won the hearts of the people?

Shen Jia was so moved that she wanted to cry, he really needed this gift so much, it simply couldn't match his wish anymore!

"You, you are in the honor of your righteous sister." Xiao Yi stiff-mouthed and forcefully explained, "When Mujin got married, she left your mansion, and when she returns to the door in the future, she also goes to your Shen mansion."

Although Mu Jin is deeply favored by His Majesty, she is a court lady after all, so it is not appropriate to marry from the imperial palace.Now that she is Shen Jia's younger sister, it could not be better to marry from Shen's residence.

"I knew it, you have a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and you can't bear to see me homeless." Shen Jia hugged Xiao Yi, "Thank you, Wei Ming."

Xiao Yi leaned against Shen Jia's arms, tilted his head and asked in his ear, "Then how do you plan to return the gift?"

"I, I, I... I haven't given you any present yet." Shen Jia slightly let go of him, and said awkwardly, "What should I give you?"

"Think about it yourself." Xiao Yi teased him, deliberately raised the request, "I have a lot of good things, you must give me what I don't have, and what I want."

"..." Shen Jia regretted it, regretted it very much, and didn't ask if she knew it earlier.It's okay to create difficulties for yourself?

When Shen Jia moved in, Xiao Yi, Dr. Fan, Du Huan, Mu Mian and Mu Jin all came to Shen's residence.Ordinarily, the bride and groom should not meet before they get married, but Du Huan and Mu Jin don't mind.The two haven't seen each other for a long time since preparing for the wedding, how could they let go of such a god-given opportunity?As soon as the two of them met, they didn't bother to chat with everyone, so they hid aside and whispered.

And the other couple was also talking to themselves, and had no time to talk to others.So in the main hall, only Dr. Fan and Mu Mian were sitting awkwardly, smiling at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Doctor Fan drank cup after cup of tea, and finally waited for the banquet to begin.This is Shen Jia specially hired a chef from the restaurant at a huge price, and cooked a table full of sumptuous food and drink.

After all the dishes were served, Shen Jia opened the wine and poured it for everyone.He raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to congratulate Xi, and thank you Wei Ming for buying a house for me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, thinking that this person is still so sincere.

"In addition to housewarming today, there is another important event, that is, I officially accept Mu Mian Mu Jin as a righteous sister." Shen Jia continued.

Everyone here already knew about this matter, and they just waited for Shen Jia to find an opportunity to announce it.Everyone had no objection to this, and cheered one after another, saying "Congratulations".

Mu Jin and her sister looked at each other and smiled playfully.It was still Kapok who was steady, raised his wine glass and pulled his younger sister to stand up, and said to Shen Jia: "Brother."

"Brother!" Mu Jin followed suit, her voice was crisp and clear, as if she was shouting to the heart of a person.

"Two sisters, brother should do it first." After Shen Jia finished speaking, she drank the wine in her glass in one breath.

Afterwards, Kapok and Hibiscus also finished drinking successively.

From now on, they are a family.
