Because of Xiang Yan’s affairs, the Xiang family has no New Year atmosphere as they approach.

At this time in previous years, the village would definitely bring carts of cranes, including venison, mutton, beef, sausage, bacon, ham, chicken, duck, geese, various live fish, red and white meat. All kinds of vegetables and vegetables are also complete, lettuce, kale, cabbage, cabbage, croquette, snow, winter onions, sprouts, and baskets, with fresh frost flowers on them.

The people serving in the village moved live poultry, aquatic products, meat and vegetables to the kitchen, and the entire Xiang family's kitchen was filled with food and food. The whole year, they had enough food and food, and they were all fresh and tender. The smell of Xiang family's fireworks will last until the first month.

Xiang Yan's affairs are not over, so how can the mansion do this?

The people in the village sent these things as usual. In previous years, they had to take long lists to watch for Qiao Daying. Now they didn't even meet Qiao Daying's face, so they took off the things and were driven back to Qiao Daying.

Xiang Yan rolled her eyes on Xiang Suining a lot about Guo Qing’s official wife.

The whole family sat together for dinner. Xiang Yan stared at Xiang Suining for dinner. Seeing Xiang Suining drinking duck soup, she used another goose leg. She put down her chopsticks and cried: "Miss Second is in a good mood, and she is ready to be the second prince's official wife."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xiang put down the porridge in her hand: "If the emperor really had this intention, he would not let the eldest princess lobby, but would directly issue an order. Since the princess said that, the matter had not been concluded yet. What's the royal family's intention? Why did Suining do?"

"Grandma is partial, now I am like this..." Xiang Yan stroked her belly: "Can I make me nameless?"

"Would you decide to have a title with the second prince? He didn't tell you?"

Xiang Yan was defeated.

The food can no longer taste the taste, so I might as well put down the rice bowl.

"The eldest princess is here." The person at the door ran to report.

Xiang's family hurriedly withdrew the meal and came out to greet him.

The eldest princess tied a dark purple fox cloak, walked into the door and untied the cloak. It was a gray brocade dress with peony embroidered in silver thread.

"Have the princess ever eaten?" Mrs. Xiang arranged: "Princess, please sit down."

The eldest princess and Mrs. Xiang sat across the small table, and the maid from the Xiang family had already brought all kinds of fruits.

Xiang Yan personally took the fruit and put it on the small table, picked another grape and peeled it and handed it to the princess.

She was so humble that the old lady Xiang was a little embarrassed.

"I went to the palace early today and I used the meal with the emperor." The eldest princess smiled and picked up the grapes. As soon as she ate them, Xiang Yan quickly handed her delicate little hand stove: "The princess has arrived all the way, and her hands are cold, hurry up and warm up."

"It's no wonder that the third girl has such eyesight," the eldest princess patted Xiang Yan's hand: "You finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon bright. You probably don't know that the emperor had already appointed Wanger as the King of Lu two days ago. You are pregnant with a prince and have a noble status. Of course, you want to marry him, and marry him, not as a little wife, but as a serious Princess Lu. Now that the festival is approaching, the emperor's intention is to handle the marriage before the New Year."

When Xiang Yan heard this, she couldn't help but be happy.

Tang Xiaoniang said, "Since she knows that Yan'er is pregnant with a prince, why did she say that she would let the second girl be the official wife before? Wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"

The eldest princess is embarrassed.

Xiang Dae-ying said, "It's a happy thing for everyone to marry, what else do you want?"

"The time was already very urgent before the New Year. I suddenly wanted to marry. I was afraid that I was not ready for anything. Wouldn't it be aggrieved to say this?"

"Of course, the prince's marriage was watched by the Imperial Heaven. The palace said, "Let's prepare." Mrs. Xiang said.

Finally, news came from the palace that Guo Jing was willing to marry Xiang Yan.

At this time, picky and choose. If there are variables in the palace, the person who cries is the prime minister.

The eldest princess explained with a smile: "What the old lady said is very reasonable. I have read it. The Imperial Heavenly Prison said that it is better to marry on the 23rd day of the New Year. It is better to marry on the best. The wedding date is set on that day. Because the third girl's body is also heavy, she is afraid that it is useless to raise her baby. She responded to Naga, Nahui, and the three books and six rites to save money. If she can, she will save money. As for the marriage, the King of Lu and Princess Lu live in the East Prince's Mansion together, not far from Xiang's house. She will ride back and forth in a carriage, and it will be only a stick of incense. Now the royal palace is already preparing for something. After that day, the King of Lu will come to the door to marry, and I hope Xiang's family will prepare early."

"Yes, follow the emperor's order." Mrs. Xiang gave tea to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess did not sit for a long time and congratulated the prime minister's family, so she stood up and left.

Xiang Yan happily hugged the hand stove, pinched a piece of fruit and chewed it in her mouth. She asked Chunyu to open her jewelry box, arrange her one by one, put on makeup and wear a hairpin ring. Xiang Yan in the bronze mirror smiled and looked energetic, and seemed to have turned back to the previous beauty in Qingcheng.

But Tang Xiaoniang tossed and turned, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

"The master is a second-rate

"Since the emperor asked to marry Yan'er as Princess Lu, why didn't he even mention the bride price?" Xiang Daying went to the palace to pay a gift early, and Tang Xiaoniang broke into the East Cluster Courtyard to complain to Xiang's old lady.

After finally someone wanted Xiangyan, Mrs. Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to sleep for a while in the morning, but she couldn't.

Xiang Suining was waiting for him. Seeing that Mrs. Xiang got up, she twisted the hot towel herself and handed it on her. She turned around and prepared the salt water for her mouthwashing.

"If the palace does not give a bride gift, you won't marry your daughter?" Mrs. Xiang asked Madam Su to serve her clothes and asked inadvertently.

"This is what you say, you must marry, but how can the royal marriage be so hasty?" Tang Xiaoniang muttered: "The old lady speaks like this. Is it the second girl who is marrying today? The old lady is willing to push her out like this?"

"The second girl has never been pregnant, and everything has conditions to discuss. If there is no suitable one, she will be willing to raise it in the mansion. Is Yan'er waiting anxiously?"

"This..." Tang Xiaoniang's face turned red.

Xiang Yan is pregnant, so she can only give in.

"The palace only said that if you can, you will be exempted, but did not say that there was no at all. Just wait in the mansion. Don't bother thinking about it, you are not happy."

"Yes." Tang Xiaoniang swallowed hard.

"Everything is a certainty. You passed by in a hurry back then. Now the master loves you very much? You can live a life of silk, silk, satin, big fish and meat."

"yes."

After being ridiculed by Mrs. Xiang, Tang Xiaoniang felt wronged.

When the Prime Minister Daying came back from the palace, she served him to change his clothes, frowned and sighed, "I am also marrying my daughter, ordinary people's families also talk about three books and six rituals. Will there be a book of appointment? Will there be a book of appointment? Let's have a book of appointment? When it comes to gifts, although it is rich and frugal, but in the emperor's house, Guo Yideng signed King Lu and married Yan'er. Why don't he give a few thousand taels of gold, silver jewelry, gold ingots and silver notes? Why is it so shabby that there is not even a book of ceremony?"

"It's good to marry Yan'er as Princess Lu. Gold and silver are all external objects, so don't say anything more." Xiang Daying sighed: "I'll go to thank the emperor today. The emperor also said that there will be a Ministry of Rites to take care of it. Don't worry."

Tang Xiaoniang was frowning.

It is a very glorious thing to marry a prince, but now it is like stealing.

Xiang Yan laughed and said, since she knew that she wanted to do Princess Lu, she drank three bowls of chicken soup, and chewed two of her fat chicken legs, and her mouth was full of oil. She also had to direct Xiang Guoxin to spread the paper to write a list for her: "A makeup box, a rosewood, a step bed, and a rosewood, a stuffed cabinet, a camphor wood box and a treasure bucket for children and grandchildren. Both dragon and phoenix quilts and dragon and phoenix bowls and chopsticks should not be missing. Speaking of which, the inner and outer rooms should not be missing. The painting table, piano table, and eight immortal table are best all agarwood. I like the taste. Although I cannot dowry a thousand acres of land and ten miles of red makeup, bracelets, jadeware, as well as powder, paste, hairpin combs and other things, I cannot neglect them. I will not let others underestimate me. After all, I am the upright Princess Lu, and my dowry must be thorough."

"Sister San, if you have to get a dowry, I have written more than ten pieces of paper. My hands are sore, so please let me rest for a while." Xiang Guoxin put down the brush and rubbed his wrists.

Xiang Yan picked up the written order and took a closer look, and added: "You need to write it in. Don't have a silver note. You need to cash a box of silver. You need to get a hundred and twenty yuan to carry the dowry."

"My little ancestor." Tang Xiaoniang took the details of the dowry from Xiang Yan's hand and pressed it on the table, slapped Xiang Guoxin: "You dare to do whatever she told you to do. Are you writing such a thing? Are you going to empty your house?" She grabbed Xiang Yan again: "Ancestor, are you going to move the entire Xiang family's pots and pans to the Prince Lu's Mansion? The dowry has not been moved yet, but your dowry is written so thoroughly. You... I have raised a money-losing guy. How could I marry the prince and pay it back to my own house."

"Mom, why are you confused?" Xiang Yan rubbed her legs for the little girl: "Mom is a veteran, don't you understand what I think?"

"What are you thinking? Are you afraid you don't like that... King Lu... will be in a state of mind?"

"Mom, you also know that dowry is not only my dignity, but also the guy I will be with in the palace in the future. These dowries are also used by me. If I have children or I am gone, these things will be inherited by my children and will not be cheaper to outsiders. Besides, the second prince is a royal family and he will not use up his own property, and he will not like this in our family. If he doesn't serve as a dowry for me, would he still have to be cheaper to others?"

Tang Xiaoniang was speechless by Xiang Yan, and just repeated: "I always feel that if we marry you this time, our family will lose money."

Regarding Xiang Yan's dowry, Xiang Daying took Tang Xiaoniang to discuss with Mrs. Xiang himself.

Tang Xiaoniang is used to being miserable: "Yan'er is like this. If you don't have to be with a dowry, you may be looked down upon by the second prince if you think of it. Her dowry is more generous, so my mother shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"have."

"this……"

"You are the master of the mansion, I will only tell you." Mrs. Xiang said solemnly: "How much dowry is given to Yan'er, it will be the same for Suining in the future."

"Mom, after all, Yan'er is pregnant."

"Is it a matter of being pregnant to bring honor to the ancestors? Do you need to give me more dowry and praise?" Mrs. Xiang asked.

Xiang Dae-ying shut up.

Tang Xiaoniang was speechless.

"Yan'er's dowry was used by the money, and it was said to be the money. How much has Suining's mother helped Suining over the years? It's not calculated carefully. Suining's mother's dowry needs to be retained by Suining. The money in the money was divided equally. How much do you like to give Yan'er is what you mean. I'm old and can't stop it."

The money from the public was used to add a dowry to Xiang Yan.

In this way, not to mention Tang Xiaoniang, even Xiang Daying felt pain: "In recent years, the mansion has been in high expenses, and the old lady intentionally or unintentionally protects Suining's mother's dowry. Just the money from the public servants should be used as a dowry for Yan'er, so she has to save some money. She can't marry a daughter to Guo Dan, and we will pay half of the Xiang family to go in."

Heyi Academy.

Because it was decided to marry Xiang Yan on the 23rd day of the New Year, the days were getting closer and closer. The people from the Ministry of Rites came to ask for the advice of Concubine He with documents, saying that the emperor had already explained it. Due to the plague, there were droughts and floods before, and the people were having a difficult life. It was not advisable to have a grand ceremony for the Princess Lu's marriage. For other matters, the Ministry of Rites and Concubine He discussed with Concubine He.

Speaking of the three media and six jobs, not only should we determine the amount of the betrothal gift and the amount of the betrothal gift, but we should also prepare all the items, such as Nacai, some for geese, some for geese, etc.

Concubine He dressed up in the mirror, inserted a lotus flower in her hair bun, and said listlessly: "What kind of geese, goose, are petty, just like a livestock. The amount of the betrothal gift? Isn't she trying to marry me, Dan'er? Dan'er has a bright future and marry a concubine's daughter. It's ridiculous to say it. Just follow the emperor's wishes. Everything is simple. Anyway, people are already pregnant, just carry her into the mansion. What should I do if I spend more money?"

"The princes have regular rules for marriage, so there is no spending here..." The people from the Ministry of Rites held the bill: "I gave it to the girl from the Xiang family, and then... I will probably bring it to the Prince of Lu's Mansion, and the concubine He thought twice."

This is the cleverness of the Ministry of Rites.

There are many princes in the palace. Guo Zhi should not pay money for marriage. If he doesn't give up, he will not pay for nothing. Anyway, he uses the treasury silver.

Hefei had an idea and inserted a golden hairpin on his temples: "The gold and silver ingots and gems that were required for ceremonies were carried to Heyiyuan. I took a look and picked them and then I knew it."

Sure enough, the people from the Ministry of Rites carried the gold and silver utensils and jewelry as usual, and the boxes were filled with a lot. Pearl necklaces, agate bracelets, jade Ruyi, at least three or four boxes.

Although everything is simple, the prince is here, and he still piles up half a room of big and small ritual things.

Concubine He ordered the servants to collect all the valuable things and put them into her small warehouse, packing up the valuable combs, rulers, and Ruyi scales and sending them to the Xiang family. Because the wedding date was urgent, it was different.

Two long-necked white geese were shouting in Heyiyuan. They were like two dung-spraying trucks, and they would pull wherever they went. After a while, half of the Heyiyuan was covered with goose dung. Hefei disliked him and covered his nose with a handkerchief: "Isn't this a geese? Go and go, let the people from the Ministry of Rites send them to the Xiang family together, and let them go to the Xiang family to pull them."

Two geese that were walking and those worthless items were carried into the prime minister's house.
