After a while, Chang Mao also came back. The men were talking in the main hall, and the women were talking about boudoir talk in the backyard. Although Zhu Biao was not in a good mood because of Lan Yu, he did not show it, but he drank tea and talked happily.
Chang Luohua sat on her original bed and looked around at the familiar furnishings. She had only been married for a few days, and when she came back, it felt like she had been away from here for a long time.
Princess Lan of Kaiping held her daughter's hand and said, "How is His Royal Highness treating you? Are you comfortable living in the East Palace?"
Chang Luohua's two sisters on the side were also chirping like little birds and asking questions. Chang Luohua came back to his senses and said: "Your Highness is very good to me, mother, don't worry."
After Chang Luohua said this, her nose felt sore inexplicably. She was telling the truth, but she still felt aggrieved when she returned to her boudoir and was next to her mother. There was no reason. Maybe she just wanted to act coquettishly and was coaxed.
Lan reached out and stroked her daughter's long hair and said, "You and His Royal Highness are a young couple. This is a rare friendship. Don't think too much about it. No one can get past you."
Lan Shi also thought that her daughter was afraid that there would be other women in the East Palace in the future. After all, the prince had a noble status and would be indispensable in the future.
Chang Luohua didn't make any excuses, he just leaned silently beside his mother. As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Today was the gift of returning home, and there would be no reason to return to his parents' home easily in the future.
Lan Shi also hugged her daughter lovingly. The other two sisters were a little jealous. The younger sister has been the most favored by her parents since she was born. Now she has married into the East Palace. Who doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely succeed to the throne in the future? She
What grievances are there now?
However, after they thought of this, they worked harder towards their sister, who would become their supporter in the future. If their mother-in-law dared to bully them in the future, they would ask their sister to call her into the palace and scold her.
Holding her eldest daughter in her arms, Mrs. Lan felt very happy. She naturally knew what her son was. If he were the son of a marquis, he would be qualified. However, he was the eldest son of the Kaiping Palace. The couple were worried about how the family business would be in the future.
It cannot be passed down safely.
Now we have a foundation. As long as the daughter is here, the wealth of the Chang family for several generations will be stable. Even if the prince cannot protect a duke, it is enough. She is frightened to be the Princess of Kaiping.
That's why they spent all their money to make a dowry for their eldest daughter. This is no joke. Chang Yuchun's savings over the years have basically gone into it. If the harvest in Zhuangzi below is not good, the palace will be in trouble.
After a while, Mrs. Chen came in with the gift list sent by Liu Jin, and handed it to Mrs. Lan for review. Lan was a little dazzled when she looked at the several-page treasure list. Mrs. Chen also took out the land deeds of more than a dozen shops in the capital from her sleeves.
There are also thousands of acres of land deeds outside the city.
Lan didn't take it, but turned to her daughter and said, "This is your dowry, why did you get it back again?"
Chang Luohua said with a smile: "I have been in charge of your family for so long. I still don't know how much wealth there is in the family. What will the family have to eat after they have been taken away?"
Lan frowned and said, "You don't need to worry about these. There are many places in the palace that need to be taken care of. Even if you don't need them now, you should save them."
If Lan was reluctant to give it up, he wouldn't give it to Chang Luohua as a dowry, not to mention that it wouldn't be a big deal for his daughter to come home and bring the dowry back. If word spread, it would make people laugh.
Chang Luohua said: "If my daughter is short of money, she won't be polite to her family. How can she not give it to me? I won't need it now in the palace, so I'd better leave it in the house first."
Seeing that Lan was still a little confused, Chang Luohua continued to persuade: "Your Highness has never asked about my dowry. Only the nanny and I know the specific amount. Mom, please take it first."
Lan sighed and took it and said: "Mother, I will keep it for you first, and then I will give it to you when you feel better. Since it is your dowry, it is yours."
Chang Luohua didn't care. The East Palace was very well behaved, and the maids and eunuchs did not dare to seek rewards when doing things. They would work seriously regardless of whether they were rewarded or not. Yun Jin told her that as long as there were rewards during the holidays, it would be enough.
Chang Luohua asked again how her original little sisters were doing. Now she seemed to have a chat with them. Lan said with some embarrassment: "I don't know when His Highness will return to the palace."
Chang Luohua also dismissed this nod. What if the prince had just called someone and was about to return to the palace? His Highness could not be kept waiting.
Tables had already been set up in the main hall of the front yard. Zhu Biao also talked with Chang Yuchun for a while about the relocation. Chang Mao was able to add a few words. The two younger ones did not dare to speak and just behaved.
Sitting.
Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. It was better for the child to be honest rather than naughty. If he bullied others when he grew up, Zhu Biao would also have a headache. He couldn't kill his brother-in-law. No matter how righteous a woman was, she couldn't bear it.
Soon the family dinner started. The men sat at one table, and the women sat at another table, with a screen in the middle. There were not many people in the Chang family, and there were only a few people who could sit at the table.
Zhu Biao also relaxed a lot during the dinner, and had a few drinks with Chang Yuchun. Chang Mao was drinking with him, and the women on the other side of the screen listened curiously to their conversation.
Lan glanced over there with a smile. It was obvious that His Highness the Crown Prince was very satisfied, otherwise he would not drink so much. She had heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had a cold personality and was unwilling to drink.
In fact, Zhu Biao didn't drink that much. He probably didn't even arrive half the time with Chang Yuchun. He was really happy. When the bride returned home, her husband could accompany her or not. The prince had a lot of things to do now, but he was still willing to devote a whole day to it.
He had time to drink, which made him very happy.
Zhu Biao had to lament the benefits of having a high status. A normal son-in-law would not drink himself to death on the table in order to make his father-in-law smile, and to make his uncles put down their bricks.
After everyone had eaten and drank, Zhu Biao officially met his two sisters-in-law. He waved to Liu Jin to each present a set of jewelry. They were all made in the palace and had unique phoenix patterns. Unless they were given by the emperor, they would be ordinary people's.
Wearing it privately is considered excessive.
This was enough for the two sisters-in-law to go out and show off. Zhu Biao didn't look at them too much. He turned to drink a cup of tea with Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun saw that it was almost time and said, "Your Highness also drank a lot of wine. I want to drink more."
Why don’t you go down and take a rest first?”
Zhu Biao put down his tea cup and stood up and said: "That's good. Father-in-law, let's take a rest. I'll ask you for advice later."
After hearing this, Chang Yuchun stood up happily and said, "I just got a good game of chess recently. Let's discuss it with His Highness when I fall."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, and then left with Chang Luohua. He didn't know the way either, so naturally he had to follow his princess.
After Zhu Biao left, Chang Yuchun sat on a chair and grinned non-stop. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king. Even though he married his daughter to the prince, she is not the prince's elder. A minister is a minister.
Now that the prince is willing to call him father-in-law, it means he respects him and is satisfied with the prince, so he calls him that in private. This is a great good thing for the Chang family, and it also means that the Chang family has truly become
