"I know." Shia Lan agreed readily, and added: "Lv's fourth daughter-in-law will be arriving soon. I'll go pick them up from them and quickly arrange the small kitchen. Don't be careless about what you eat and drink!"
Mother Jiang turned to look at her and Heng Wu and smiled, "Don't be anxious, just stay calm and don't make any mistakes in haste. The girl has so much dowry, and we will have to bring more things over later, which will keep them busy for a while. , when they free up their hands, she won’t even be able to enter our yard.”
The two agreed with a smile, and hurriedly led people to arrange and arrange the various places. Although they had already decided where to put everything, the entire main courtyard was an empty shell, and it took a long time to put everything back in place. It will be settled in a moment.
No matter what, everything needs to be in order by tomorrow morning.
The dowry was passed on until the sun set in the west, and the last box of silver was still carried on a four-story dowry carrier. There were neatly stacked stacks of silver notes on the carrier, with red gold paperweights on top, and then the dowry. Zhuangzi, shop, courtyard.
According to the rules, a piece of bricks wrapped in red silk is equivalent to a hundred acres of field, a yard, or a shop. The densely packed red silk bricks on the dowry carrier made the already numb onlookers shocked again.
The reception was at dusk, but as soon as it got light the next morning, Song Lingyu had already rushed into Qinghuai Courtyard. Not long after, Wang Xuanyi also arrived. Wei Jiner was pregnant and could not come, so she asked her to bring Tianzhuang with her. come over. Not to mention the other ladies who were close to Li Qingyi in the past, the noble girls who often traveled around the capital were given more valuable gifts as they were given away, as if they wanted to compete with Li Qingyi's makeup.
Song Lingyu had to tease her a few words: "You are sitting on a treasure mountain, you can no longer look down on this little thing like me!"
Wang Xuanyi smiled and said, "Not many people can compare to the pair of hairpins you gave me, and yet they call them a small item!"
"That's right!" Zhen Zhen grinned and said, "You are too humble. This little thing like you has already outshone me, a common man like me!"
The golden and white jade Pisces hairpin given by Song Lingyu was exquisitely carved and of high quality. It also had a special meaning in it. Li Qingyi liked it very much. He just saw Song Lingyu pouting in a pretentious manner and deliberately scolding her, so he said: "Xiao Nizi Don’t worry, just wait and see what makeup I’ll give you when the time comes!”
Song Lingyu's cheeks started to heat up, and he came over to scratch her: "Okay, none of you are good!"
The few people laughed for a while, and Wang Xuanyi whispered in her ear: "Yier, I will tell you when we are close. Now that your second uncle and Mr. Qin are so powerful in the court, and they are so flattering to you, it is not right for them. Are you afraid it’s bad?”
Wang Xuanyi was worried that Li Qingyi was too public.
Of course Li Qingyi knew why Wang Xuanyi said this, but behind her and Qin Zeng's publicity, there was something else hidden that she couldn't explain to others. She said, "Don't worry, the palace knows what these people are thinking, stuff." No matter how precious it is, it's just a matter of face, not like our true friendship? Let's just regard this gift as a gift for the emperor's face. It has nothing to do with Qin Zeng and me, even if we say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. .Besides, this is just makeup, what else can I do?"
Wang Xuanyi thought carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."
Song Lingyu laughed from the side and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. I heard that my cousin-in-law is afraid that you will be robbed. He comes to the door every two days, and the threshold of Li's house is almost broken!"
Li Qingyi has often been teased by this recently, and his initial shyness has gradually turned into a shameless one. He only said: "Why didn't I know..."
Wang Xuanyi poked her forehead with her fingertips and said with a smile: "Yu'er, our sister is very shameless, don't laugh at her..."
Song Lingyu made a "puff" sound and spit out the tea in her mouth. She stamped her feet in shame and anger, and quickly called the girl: "I don't dare to come to your house anymore, please take me to change clothes quickly!"
She went to the stall where she was changing clothes, and Princess An Cheng arrived.
Li Qingyi quickly stood up and saluted, but Princess An Cheng held her down and said, "Today is your big day, and I will always come to join in the fun. Don't let me steal your limelight and not pay attention to those false etiquette."
Princess Ancheng dressed very low-key today. She really didn’t want to attract attention. Li Qing
Yi glanced at Li Miaoran, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming to join in the fun today?"
Princess Ancheng had a tacit understanding with her and smiled, "Who knows about him!"
After Li Qingyi paid homage to his ancestors at the ancestral hall, he went to change into a formal dress.
Li Miaoran and Zhen Zhen couldn't stop dancing excitedly. They gathered together with Song Lingyu and others to discuss how to embarrass Qin Zeng. Princess An Cheng opened her eyes wide and laughed in horror. ..
The young ladies from various mansions who usually had some contact with Li Qingyi and could talk to each other, when they heard that Song Lingyu and others thought of some tricks to embarrass Qin Zeng, their eyes lit up with excitement, and everyone's interest was focused on Qin Zeng.
According to the rules, at the gate, Mr. Qin, who is usually stoic but incomparably good-looking, can laugh, play, and do whatever he wants. Is there any more strange and interesting thing that has never been seen before?
There were many people and many bad ideas. They said that all the men around Qin Zeng were difficult to deal with, and they would definitely not be able to stop him from reciting poems and guessing riddles. Finally, someone asked Qin Zeng to sing a song!
Mr. Qin doesn't even bother to say a long list of words. He usually just jumps out one word or two, and asks him to sing a song! This is a wicked idea. There is nothing more wicked than this.
Li Qingyi was so happy that she even wanted to go over and see the grand scene of blocking the door in person!
The inside and outside of the Li Mansion were in order, but the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was in a state of chaos. The entire three-bedroom house on the East Road, the Middle Road, and the West Road are all busy in one place. The Princess of Zhenbei is in charge of the inside, and the second master, the third master, and Gongsun Yi are in charge of the outside.
Old Mrs. Gongsun, her second daughter-in-law and her third daughter-in-law, as well as the eldest aunt and grandmother who had just returned, were neatly dressed. Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and their daughter were sitting in the flower hall in the backyard.
From yesterday when Li Mansion shopped the dowry to now, several people have been stunned.
They had long heard that the Li family was rich and that the Ruan family was good at making money, but they never imagined how they could have so much money. A married niece has so much dowry. How rich will the family be? How can one become so rich? I heard that the Ruan family donates money every year! Replenish military pay for Dajing, give porridge and build shacks for the refugees!
The second wife and the third wife took care of the property, and the other took care of the store. They were extremely sensitive to money. They stretched their necks and wanted to go out for a look, but the old lady looked bad. As a daughter-in-law, how could she dare to wander around without the instructions of her mother-in-law? . However, the eldest aunt and the second aunt could not sit still and said they wanted to go out and have a look.
I said I wanted to take a look, but actually I just wanted to go up.
The old lady glared at the two shallow-eyed men fiercely. The two aunts just pretended not to see her and walked out of the flower hall in a hurry.
