Xiao Beichen snorted coldly, his voice colder than three-nine days of snow, "I think Prime Minister Luo has misunderstood. These gifts are all given to Miss Luo Er by me.
Although her surname is Luo, you know best how the Luo family raised her. Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the hot spring at the foot of Xingsheng Mountain last month. If I hadn’t rescued her from the water, I’m afraid she would have drowned.
Who pushed Luo Yunchu down the mountain? Did Prime Minister Luo conduct a thorough investigation? Did you make the decision for her? Therefore, whether Luo Mansion is kind or hostile to her, it is really not certain upon closer inspection.
So if I can give you some money as a betrothal gift, just accept it and don't be greedy anymore. "
Prime Minister Luo and Aunt Wen looked at each other, as if they had been stabbed at a vital point, and made no reply.
Xiao Beichen waved his black sleeves and said, "Get out quickly."
Luo Yunchu looked at the backs of the two of them leaving in dejection, feeling very happy in his heart.
The eyes that looked at Xiao Beichen were full of admiration and admiration. It seemed that she had made the right move. In such a feudal society, it was better to be able to borrow the power of Prince Yi's Mansion than to struggle on her own as a weak woman.
Once she has a certain foundation, it would be a wise choice for her to leave and start her own business.
She reached out and touched the red gilded gift list, and sighed reluctantly. Although money was her lifeblood, she was also a principled person. This gift was too precious and must be returned.
"What? You don't like it?" Xiao Beichen stroked his temples, as if he had seen through Luo Yunchu's greedy nature.
"I like it..." Before Luo Yunchu could say "but", a glass cup as clear as ice was thrust into his hand.
"If you like it, accept it. Don't be so scared. I just want to tell everyone that even if my father only gives you the title of concubine, you are still cherished by me.
Among the people, a woman who is valued by her husband can live a good life in her husband's family, and this is basically the same in the royal family. "
He pressed Luo Yunchu's hand to signal her to take back the gift list, then tapped the glass cup with his chin, "Go and make me a cup of tea."
Luo Yunchu took some lotus tea that had been made earlier, and picked some spiritual spring water from an angle that Xiao Beichen could not see, and quickly brewed a cup of fragrant and elegant tea.
By the time the glass cup was handed to Xiao Beichen's hand, the room was filled with fragrance.
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Beichen suddenly felt that the gift was still not enough, so he blurted out, "Do you want to add more to the betrothal gift?"
Luo Yunchu looked at Xiao Beichen in admiration and said, "Xiao Beichen, you are honest and upright. There is no need for extra betrothal gifts. I know you want to help me support my appearance, so first put this gift in Ziyun Pavilion. After we get married in seven days, I will take it back to the wing." The palace will return it to you."
"It's up to you," Xiao Beichen's eyes were slightly raised, and he looked cold, but his words were heart-warming. "Anyway, I won't take back the gift I gave you. You can keep it for your own use."
Luo Yunchu raised her head and met Xiao Beichen's eyes. Her greedy and lustful heart jumped to her throat.
Although she made up her mind not to want the betrothal gift, he was so handsome when he showed his generosity! ! ! ! !
Who understands?
Luo Yunchu was in a good mood here, but Prime Minister Luo was so angry that he broke the tea cup.
When everyone saw Prime Minister Luo getting angry, they all held back their breath and did not dare to breathe. Only Aunt Wen muttered: "Although our Prime Minister's family has a great business, we don't care about the treasures, money, fields, villages, shops..."
Every time Aunt Wen said a word, Prime Minister Luo's heart was bleeding, and everyone was even more jealous.
"But since ancient times, betrothal gifts have always been given to the girl's parents. Your Highness, King Yi, doesn't take our Prime Minister's Palace seriously." Mrs. Sun rushed to add.
Luo Yiran curled her lips, "That's not normal. That's His Highness King Yi. Apart from the Emperor, have you ever seen him put anyone in your eyes? He is the one you are talking about. Even Cousin Beilin sometimes wants to How much are you afraid of him?"
Luo Zhiyi immediately smiled gently and said, "Father, we don't have to argue with King Yi. Sister Yunchu is sensible and sensible. Please discuss it with her, and she will definitely return the betrothal gift according to the rules."
Luo Zhiyi's deduction made Prime Minister Luo suddenly enlightened. He put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Zhiyi is right. Luo Yunchu should know the general principles, advance and retreat, and be grateful..."
Listening to Prime Minister Luo Balabala talking a lot, Luo Bingxuan was stuck in the corner like a wooden stake. She didn't understand what they asked the second sister to be grateful for?
Luo Yunchu didn't understand either.
When a group of people came to Ziyun Pavilion, they were jealous and cursed secretly in their hearts. Prime Minister Luo shook his beard and said deceitfully: "Yun Chu, you lost your mother when you were eight years old. It was not easy for your father to raise you." , now that you are getting married, dad is really happy for you.
King Yi’s generous betrothal gift shows that he loves you so much that dad is relieved..."
Luo Yunchu gently stroked the pattern on his sleeves without even raising his eyelids, "If you have anything to say, please just say it!"
Luo Zhiyi excused herself from coming to Ziyun Pavilion because she had something to do. Luo Yiran, who came to join in the fun, glanced at her face and said, "Second sister, don't pretend to be confused. The betrothal gift that King Yi brought to your courtyard should be returned to father."
The tea that Luo Yunchu had just taken into his mouth suddenly spurted out, and every drop of it was sprayed onto Luo Yiran's face.
"You..." Luo Yiran stared at Luo Yunchu with wide eyes, but was pulled behind her by Aunt Wen.
That girl, Yiran, had been pampered since she was a child, and she seemed to have had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Faced with the fact that a vicious woman like Luo Yunchu was killed several times, she still had to attack her head-on. Aunt Wen was really distressed and worried.
"Oh, Yunchu, don't mind if your third sister speaks frankly. Since ancient times, betrothal gifts have been given to the girl's parents.
The water thrown out by the married girl means that the woman will no longer be able to serve her parents after she gets married. This betrothal gift is not only a gift for marriage, but also a pension for the woman's parents. "Aunt Wen said clearly.
Prime Minister Luo cast an admiring look at her, and Wen also raised her voice and said, "It's time for you to repay your parents for their upbringing."
Luo Yunchu looked at them with caring eyes, "Are you serious?"
Luo Yiran poked her head out from behind Aunt Wen and said with a fierce look on her face: "Luo Yunchu, what do you mean?"
Aunt Wen frowned, "Luo Yiran, you'd better go back to your own yard first."
"Why are you pushing her? She is right," Prime Minister Luo blew his beard and glared, "Luo Yunchu, what do you mean?"
"I thought the betrothal gift Xiao Beichen gave you was enough. Besides, even if I had the intention to leave these gifts to you, Xiao Beichen would not allow it."
Luo Yunchu was in a state of poverty. Not to mention that she wanted to give it back to Xiao Beichen. Even if she threw it all away, she would not give a cent to the family.
"Yunchu was joking. As long as you are willing, how could King Yi not allow it?" Aunt Wen said in a persuasive way.
Luo Yunchu didn't want to laugh, but he was always amused by these people and couldn't help laughing, "But I don't want to!"
