Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Three, Posts of Rewarding the Lotus Banquet
"This is a note sent by Concubine Ning. It was originally intended for Xue'er. Xue'er felt that this matter was not a good thing for your family, so she asked me to forward the note to the third girl." Mrs. Yu said in a low voice.
He coughed and looked very lonely. He forced a smile and continued to send the note in his hand forward.
"Post about the lotus appreciation feast?" Yu Ruiwen looked moved.
"Yes, it's a post about the Lotus Appreciation Banquet. Xue'er had a head injury and couldn't go there originally. She also felt ashamed of her family, so she asked me to forward the post to the third girl. The third girl arrived in the capital for the first time and happened to be able to go.
I met some aristocratic daughters at the lotus appreciation banquet, and when I go to White Rock Academy to study in the future, I will not be so unfamiliar with them."
Mrs. Yu said.
When Yu Ruiwen said this, his youngest daughter had just come to Beijing. He really wanted his youngest daughter to meet people first and have some close friends, so as to avoid not knowing anyone when she goes to Baishi Academy one day.
I don’t have any close friends who I can talk to intimately, so it’s a bit too deserted.
"Jiao'er, thank you Mrs. Yu." Yu Ruiwen said, this gift was sent to his heart, and it was much more heartwarming than the opal bracelet just now.
"Thank you so much, Madam." Yu Xijiao bowed sideways and bowed Yingying. Mingyue stepped forward to take the note and also bowed sideways.
Seeing that Yu Xijiao did not come up to take the post in person, Mrs. Yu was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. At this time, she still had to please Xuan Pinghou, so she was a rude little girl, so she would tolerate it for the time being.
"Third Miss, you're welcome. I liked Third Miss as soon as I saw her. Xuan'er is no longer around. I don't have the most agreeable granddaughter around me anymore." Mrs. Yu paused here, tilted her head, and used her handkerchief.
Zi pressed the corners of his eyes, then turned around, already forcing a smile on his face, "I have been sick since Daxuan'er passed away. Now that I am getting older, I don't know when I will pass away."
"Madam, you need to take good care of yourself."
"Mrs. Tai's body is important." The two clan elders comforted vaguely.
Mrs. Yu smiled bitterly: "At my age, even if I die, it's nothing. But Xuan'er hasn't returned home yet, and I, an old man, have to guard the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion for him, otherwise
Even if I follow him, I won’t feel at ease."
Thinking that Prince Zhengyuan Hou still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and that he might not even know that something happened to his mother and sister at this time, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Yu couldn't hold on anymore after saying a few words. Mrs. Ning came in and asked everyone to go out, letting Mrs. Yu rest first.
When I saw Ning again, she seemed to have suddenly lost her shape. When I saw Yu Ruiwen, her expression became much more respectful, and she no longer regarded her as the wife of the Marquis of Zhengyuan.
Looking at Yu Ruiwen and his daughter, Ning wanted to step forward to speak, but Yu Ruiwen ignored her and talked to the two clan elders, with Yu Jiyang from the third room accompanying her.
As a concubine who was not favored, Yu Jiyang looked a lot duller and was not very good at talking. He would only smile with a smile on his side and would only answer when he asked him something. If he was asked to take the initiative to do something, it would be
No.
While they were talking, people from the Xin Kangbo Mansion arrived. The Ning family invited people in. Chu Zihan came with several stewards behind him.
All the dowry was returned, and it was sent from Xinkangbo Mansion. It was just like sending a dowry, and the momentum was not ordinary. The people in the capital saw a lot of it along the way. The marriage between Zhengyuanhou Mansion and Xinkangbo Mansion was discussed again. Once again
Speaking of Yu Lanyan's disobedience to her boudoir precepts, she didn't know which child she had in her belly.
Although Crown Prince Xinkang was a little unclear and his attitude felt ambiguous, the access control of Zhengyuanhou Mansion was too loose. How could a man be allowed to enter and exit the backyard of Zhengyuanhou Mansion at will?
Is there really nothing wrong with the backyard of Zhengyuanhou Mansion?
After the common people had different opinions, more and more people came to watch the excitement. I had never heard that getting married was worth ten miles of red dots, but I had never heard anyone say that returning the dowry could also be counted as ten miles of red dots. Suddenly, on the road from Xinkangbo Mansion to Zhengyuanhou Mansion,
, it’s all crowded with people.
The first part of the things had been sent back, and Chu Zihan respectfully presented the dowry list. Ning read it carefully, nodded, handed it to a clan elder next to her, and handed over another dowry list.
Yu Lanyan took away half of Yu Lanxuan's dowry. Due to the circumstances at that time, she didn't have time to write down the dowry. It happened to be half, so she cut out half of the dowry.
By comparing the two, you can easily tell whether they are the same.
After reading it, the clan elder nodded and compared the two copies. Not only the date on it, but also the mark on the cutting place were correct.
Since other members of the Yu family are to be invited over, the dowry return must be done in a matter-of-fact manner without any oversight.
Yu Ruiwen was the last one to take it, and after checking it, he felt that since it was right, he sent a steward next to him to check it out together with the steward of Xuanping Hou Mansion.
After the dowry was counted, it was placed in an empty yard next to it. This was actually the place where An prepared the dowry for Yu Lanxuan before the dowry was moved out.
Several people were sitting in a pavilion opposite the courtyard, supervising the process of delivering the dowry.
"Father, why are there some dots on the dowry just now?" Yu Xijiao, who was right behind Yu Ruiwen, also took a look at the list and asked curiously.
"Miss Yu San, the day the dowry was delivered to the house, the house was in a mess. They didn't take care of the dowry. Some of the dowries were accidentally damaged, and some... disappeared in the chaos. Our house appraised the price and used money to
Add it in." Chu Zihan explained to Yu Xijiao gently.
Judging from his calm look, it seemed as if this was really an accident.
In a family, if there is such a dispute over property, and the real thing is gone, it can indeed be replaced with the same value. As for the amount of replacement, it depends on the family's wishes. As long as Ning feels satisfied,
Even if this matter is over, no one cares whether the quilt is really completed or not.
"Chu Shizi, I saw something just now, is it also missing?" Yu Xijiao looked straight at Chu Zihan, smiled slightly, and asked.
When he returned the large sum of dowry, he acted calmly and calmly, which made people like him very much.
"I heard that Master Huineng of the previous dynasty had a small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads bracelet that fell into the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. I just saw the small-leaf red sandalwood string that was missing from the dowry. Is that it?" Yu Xijiao asked.
Master Huineng of the previous dynasty was a female nun. It is said that the Buddhist teachings were profound and he once predicted some of the fate of the previous dynasty. Although he did not directly say that the previous dynasty would perish, it was said that he also vaguely mentioned that after her death, the previous dynasty would perish.
The time and anomalies, some small things are shocking when talking about them now, and they seem to have traces.
After the demise of the previous dynasty, many people were looking for the Buddhist connection left by Master Huineng, but basically no longer existed, or even if it existed, many people did not agree with it. They felt that there was a lot of doubt in it, and I am afraid it was not true.
of.
This is the only bracelet made of small-leaf red sandalwood beads that has been properly documented, and it has indeed been found in its collection.
This small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist bead bracelet was found by my maternal grandfather, An Guogong, and he spent a lot of money to buy it. I liked it very much at first, and had no intention of giving it away. After my father died, I gave it to my mother so that she could have a good time.
Holy Buddha Qi, not so grief-stricken.
My mother had observed mourning for three years and had been wearing this small string of Buddhist beads. Relying on this string of Buddhist beads, her mood gradually recovered, and then she put this string of Buddhist beads in her dowry list.
"This... is not very clear." Chu Zihan raised his eyes and looked at Yu Xijiao, smiling a little.
The girl in front of me has cloud-like hair and a light lotus-colored wide skirt blown by the wind, making her waist more and more slender. Although her face has a slight childishness, she can see that she has an extremely beautiful face and a pair of
When looking at people, her watery eyes are as graceful as two clear springs, and her skin color is like jade.
Her whole body is dressed in a very simple way, but this plainness reflects her delicate facial features, which is not boring. Even if she doesn't smile, people can't take their eyes away.
But Chu Zihan didn't like it, and the scene on the street still stuck in his heart.
With a low cough, Chu Zihan tilted his head to hide it and sighed softly: "I made Miss Yu laugh. The marriage between the two houses has become like this. I am still upset to this day. Lanxuan County
Since you are no longer here, nothing can cover up the sadness, not even Buddhist beads, they are just floating wealth."
Yu Ruiwen, who originally wanted to ask questions after listening to Yu Xijiao's words, looked up at Chu Zihan and said nothing.
In fact, he has always had a good feeling for Chu Zihan, and he still doesn't believe that Chu Zihan would get involved with Yu Lanyan. But if they didn't get involved, Yu Ruiwen really didn't believe that a man would do this to his fiancée, and treat her like nothing.
If a woman who has lost her virginity is given to him, he will actually recognize her?
This is no longer ordinary love and righteousness, this is simply... stupid!
After all, if this kind of thing comes out, it will affect not one person's reputation, but the entire Xinkangbo Mansion. However, looking at Chu Zihan's appearance, it doesn't look like he is stupid.
"Your Majesty, if you find that string of Buddhist beads in the future, can you buy the beads for me? My grandmother is a great believer in Buddhism." Yu Xijiao seemed not to hear the unfinished words in Chu Zihan's words, looked up at Chu Zihan, and continued
asked.
If Chu Zihan takes the initiative, he is not the one taking the initiative. Even if his father wants to blame him, he cannot blame him.
Yu Xijiao came here today just to see how much has been returned. She knows her dowry best, and some things can be traced. It is not the Ning family that has the final say. It is not a good idea to trust Mrs. Kangbo.
My grandmother told me about this person from the earliest days.
But don’t be afraid, as long as Duke Qi is here, Mrs. Xin Kangbo can’t do anything to you!
How could this unattractive Mrs. Xincombo watch helplessly and return all the large dowry?
How many people can withstand the temptation to gain and lose again?
"This...if it is possible to find it, send it to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion first. If Miss Yu is interested, she can ask for it from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion." Chu Zihan glanced at the Ning family next to him and kept the matter calm.
He pushed it onto Ning's body.
"Father, please take a look at what is missing from the county prince's dowry list. Can you make a copy for your daughter later? If Prince Xin Kangbo finds it in the future, can father help me get one or two items?"
Yu Xi dug a hole with a bright smile, poured a cup of tea for Yu Ruiwen with her own hands, brought it to Yu Ruiwen, and begged.
