"Sister-in-law, what you just received should be a betrothal gift according to the prince's regulations." He was overjoyed: "The cars behind are probably the private property of His Highness Prince Qi."
She smiled and pulled Li Xiangnan and breathed a sigh of relief. King Qi valued her daughter so much. If her daughter gets married, life should not be too difficult.
Li Cheng's gloomy face also showed a smile. There were cars one after another behind them, and the wheels of the cars made marks on the ground, much more than those in front.
With so many people watching at the door, he felt that his face was really flattered.
Only Li Lainan glanced at it and lowered his head, feeling unhappy.
The betrothal gift tied with red flowers was carried directly into the main hall, but the carts of betrothal gifts were parked in the yard.
"Invite His Highness King Qi in quickly." Li Cheng greeted hurriedly: "Unload everything."
Zhao Xun casually sprinkled some copper coins outside, counting them as profit money, and stepped into the threshold full of doubts.
He only prepared the betrothal gifts at the front. Whose belongings are the carts and carts at the back?
The servant from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion came forward to help and wanted to unload the things from the carriage.
"Don't touch these things!" The driver of the carriage stopped him: "This is for the seventh girl."
"Seventh girl?"
Everyone looked at Li Can.
Li Can was confused: "I don't know? Is it a gift from my grandfather and uncle?"
Except for her grandfather's family, no one else gave her anything like this.
"Seventh girl."
A burly man stepped in from outside, carrying a bunch of things in his hands, and stepped forward to salute Li Can with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Qi." Li Can suddenly smiled: "Why are you here?"
This man's name is Bai Qi, the chief steward of her maternal grandfather's Bai family.
She recognized Bai Qi because before her grandfather's house sent her things, Bai Qi brought someone there.
"Girl is getting hairpins at the end of the year. It's a long way from Yangzhou to here. The old lady was afraid that something might happen to the children and delayed the gifts for girls, so she urged the boys to bring hairpin gifts to her early." Bai Qi laughed.
Hehe handed the things in his hands to Candy and the others: "This is the breakfast I bought for the girls at the market just now."
"How can a girl eat so much?" Candy laughed.
"You guys should share the food too." Bai Qi said cheerfully.
"So, these things are mine?" Li Can looked at the dozens of carriages lined up in front of the main hall.
"Yes." Bai Qi nodded: "It's what the old lady said. The eldest lady and the second lady prepared it with their own hands. There is a booklet here. Please check it out and put it in the warehouse."
He said and handed Li Can a pamphlet.
"By the way, the third young master brought a letter to the girl." He took out another letter and gave it to Li Can.
"Brother gave it to me?" Li Can was surprised and happy. He put the booklet into the hands of his eldest aunt and hurriedly opened the letter to read it.
She finished reading it in a hurry and happily hugged Mr. Lin and jumped up and down: "Auntie, my brother said in the letter that he will come back when I am old enough."
Even though her brother wrote a letter, he didn't say much, but he still told her not to trust anyone in the family except her grandmother and aunt.
He also told her to abide by the rules and said that when Ji Ji comes back, he will check whether she behaves well or not.
"Look how happy you are." Mrs. Lin saw that she was happy and laughed too.
Li Can was very happy. She and her brother really had a good connection. She was thinking of writing a letter to her brother last night, and his letter arrived.
Moreover, the eldest uncle, the eldest brother and the second brother are also back, and the third brother is also back, so the family is reunited! How happy must the grandmother and eldest aunt be?
However, she had never told her uncle that they were coming back, and she naturally knew why such words should not come out of her mouth.
"What brother!" Li Cheng snorted angrily: "His surname is no longer Li a long time ago!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned around to greet Zhao Xun: "Your Highness, please come in and sit down."
Li Jin, a rebellious son, had fallen out with him many years ago, and he rarely came home in recent years.
He has long since stopped counting on that unfilial son! Including his daughter Li Can, these two children are white-eyed wolves.
Li Can snorted at his back: "That's my brother."
If possible, she wished that Li Cheng was not her and her brother's father!
"Don't argue with your father. How can father and son have an overnight feud?" Mrs. Lin patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Auntie is not free at the moment. Go and count the things and put them all in the warehouse."
Keeping these things here will only make King Qi's face even more ugly.
"Tanggai, please take them." Li Can took the brochure and handed it to Tanggai: "By the way, Tanggai will have someone take Uncle Qi and the others to the guest house to rest and entertain them."
"yes."
Sugar cake, candy responded in unison.
"Uncle Qi, I'll stay here for a few days before leaving. I'll buy you something delicious to entertain you later." Li Can turned to Bai Qi again and smiled.
"Okay." Bai Qi agreed readily.
Entering the main hall, there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Zhao Xun and Li Cheng sat separately, and no one spoke.
I guess so, the betrothal gift was originally small, so I thought I wouldn't care about it, so I just let it go.
However, the Bai family didn't give gifts early in the morning or late in the day, and drove the gift-giving car in together with the betrothal gift.
Can Li Cheng be happy?
As for Zhao Xun, he was not willing to marry Li Xiangnan in the first place, but he was forced into this position and had no choice.
Today I saw the Bai family giving gifts to Li Can again. Just a hairpin and more than ten carriages worth of things were given to him. If he was getting married, how much would he have to give as a dowry?
The wealth of the Bai family can be seen from this.
Originally, as long as he found a way to marry Li Can, all these things would be his.
Now, he has no chance anymore.
He sat there, looking at the shy and shy Li Xiangnan. The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he became. How could he still be willing to speak?
"Sister-in-law, what should we do next?" He broke the silence.
The betrothal gift is small, and it is indeed embarrassing.
But things still have to be done, right?
It's only because of some mistake that Li Xiangnan became Zhao Xun's wife too early. Otherwise, how could Zhao Xun despise her daughter like this?
"I have never done anything like this. Fortunately, I found someone to ask about it carefully a few days ago." Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "At this time, sit down and eat the fruit first.
Then the two of them should go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to their ancestors. When the younger siblings come again, we will prepare a return gift together."
When she does things, she always prepares in advance and everything goes in an orderly manner.
Li Can watched for a while and lost her patience, but she still watched patiently. She wanted to know when Zhao Xun would come to welcome the bride.
Logically speaking, before sending the betrothal gift, the two families should have discussed the date of getting married, and the two dates should not be too far apart.
But Zhao Xun didn't know what he was thinking. He only said that when the betrothal gift was given, he would send the dates together.
I guess he still wants to fight to the death to see if he can push through the marriage.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out, so I had to accept my fate.
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xun finally had someone bring the wedding date book, with red and green flowers cut by five men and two women on it.
Li Cheng took the marriage certificate and read it, thought for a moment and said, "Is it the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes." Zhao Xun stood up: "I'm going back first."
"Give the return gift to His Highness Prince Qi and carry it out." Mrs. Lin ordered.
Zhao Xun had not gone far out of the main hall when he saw people watching the excitement still blocking the door.
He was irritated and waved his hand: "Send all those people away."
"yes."
His entourage went immediately.
Lin held Li Can's hand and paused.
Li Can raised his eyes to look at her, and somewhat understood that this was a happy event, and it was all about good luck. How could there be any reason to dismiss the spectators?
It seems that Zhao Xun is really dissatisfied with this marriage to the extreme.
He and Li Cheng also looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Zhao Xun took his things and left like that.
Li Can knew there was nothing to see, so he made an excuse, went back to the yard, packed his things, and headed to the East Palace.
At noon, Zhao Ye was busy in the study. Wuhuang ran to the door from outside. He didn't care to salute and gasped: "Your Highness, the girl has set the kitchen on fire!"
