Chu Yan glanced at King Jing, and replied indifferently: "My mother and concubine left it to me." Chu Yan didn't want to tell King Jing that these were all accumulated from his business over the years. Back then, Chu Yan used the shop and connections that Princess Xianjing had given him before she died to do business, so it was not a lie.
Princess Jing looked at a box full of thumb-sized Dongzhu beside her, and her eyes widened in surprise. After hearing Chu Yan's words, she immediately pulled Prince Jing's sleeve quietly.
King Jing is at a loss, Princess Jing first? Princess Xianjing left it to Chu Yan? How has he never heard of it
There are so many people here, King Jing was too embarrassed to ask Chu Yan this question in public, but just cleared his throat, frowned and asked Chu Yan: "Are you going to send these things as a betrothal gift?"
Chu Yan nodded coldly.
King Jing immediately became anxious, and scolded: "It's just nonsense! Do you know that this is a dowry gift! What if the people in Uncle Anjing's mansion don't bring it back for you because they see wealth?"
Chu Yan seemed to think that Wang Jing's words were ridiculous, and a rare smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.
"My stuff, I can give it to whoever I like." Speaking of this, Chu Yan smiled and looked at Princess Jing, and added: "Besides, the prince thinks that everyone has the same family style as the original Xiao family. ?"
According to the customs of this dynasty, the bride's family usually adds the same amount of dowry to the dowry gift sent by the man. Of course, there are exceptions. A few samples to take back.
For example, the dowry that King Jing gave to Concubine Jing was all kept by the Xiao family, and only thirty-three dowries were brought back, and they were all ordinary goods. This incident also caused the Xiao family to be ridiculed a lot in Beijing.
After hearing Chu Yan's words, Princess Jing's complexion suddenly changed, and she could even hear the uncontrollable laughter of the official children beside her.
But at this time, someone asked without knowing it: "What are you laughing at? Who is the Xiao family? Was it greedy for a bride price back then? Oh my god, are you so shameless?"
The person who asked this question was Qin Tong, who was even more tanned. He originally went back to fight after Chu Yan went to Huaizhou. After hearing that Chu Yan was going to get married, he deliberately rushed back from the station overnight.
When Qin Tong said this, even King Jing's face became ugly.
Qin Tong didn't understand, so he looked at the smiling person beside him, and saw that their eyes were all looking at Princess Jing, Qin Tong's elm head also understood, and he immediately explained to Princess Jing: "Well, I'm not Joking at you, I didn't know they were talking about you just now, I didn't mean it."
It's good that Qin Tong didn't explain, but this explanation made Princess Jing feel ashamed for a while.
Xia Mochu was also in the crowd. He has always had no taboos, and he burst into laughter when he heard Qin Tong's words.
Chu Yan acted as if he hadn't noticed this, and after glancing at the sky, he said loudly: "The time has come, let's set off!"
"Hey!" Everyone responded together with joy on their faces.
Chu Yan went out first, and those who came to help raised their picks and followed Chu Yan out in a file.
Jing Wang watched these people carry out the dowry, his face was very ugly. In his opinion, Chu Yan did it on purpose. No wonder Chu Yan agreed so happily when he mentioned the dowry gift! It turned out to be a backhand!
With the sound of firecrackers outside Prince Jing's Mansion, the troops sent by Prince Jing's Mansion began to set off.
The spectators outside Prince Jing's Mansion gathered in an alley, leaving only one passage for Chu Yan and others to walk.
Chu Yan rode at the front on a tall horse. Behind him, the members of the Jinwu Guard were all wearing red soft armor and walked in neat steps. One could tell that these people had kung fu on them.
In the crowd, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Jinwuwei! I recognize it! They are all wearing Jinwuwei's clothes!"
Following this man's words, there was an uproar in the alley, who are those who can enter the Jinwu Guard? All of them are children of royal families and noble families. Using the guards of the Jinwu Guard to carry the dowry gift is the first time in the world.
Chu Yan is no longer in the Jinwu Guard, but the people of the Jin Wu Guard can still come to give Chu Yan this face, which shows that Chu Yan's time as the commander of the Jin Wu Guard has indeed convinced these people.
But what people can't take their eyes off the most is the burden carried by those Jinwu guards.
According to the rules and customs, the cages carried on the burden are all open for people to visit at will.
People on both sides of the road couldn't help but wonder.
"Have you seen that? That phoenix hairpin inlaid with bright pearls! I saw it in Jinxiufang! This is the treasure of Jinxiufang! I heard that at the beginning, Master Sun Xiaohou offered ten thousand taels of gold to buy this hairpin." As a gift to Madam, the owner of Jinxiufang didn’t even sell it! Now it’s here! It seems that Prince Chu really put his mind to it!”
"Look, there's a cage that's not open. I don't know what's in it."
"No matter what it is, one of these is enough for us to chew for a lifetime, tsk tsk, look at his style."
"The son of Prince Jing is married to Princess Le'an! Princess Le'an is both talented and beautiful. Didn't she say that she went to fight the epidemic a few days ago? Such a strange woman is worthy of such a pomp."
Among the discussions among the crowd, there were a few with clear ideas.
A voice suddenly came out from the crowd: "You say, this prince is not afraid of being robbed if he shows things clearly?"
"Jie? Look at the person who bears the burden. Who dares to rob? Do you want to die?"
Many people beside him echoed: "That's right."
But at this time, almost all the spectators had the same idea. They couldn't help thinking, how much dowry the Prince Jing's Mansion would have to spend with such a big deal! At this time, many people even began to look forward to the day when Chu Yan and Su Yan got married.
Accompanied by the discussion of people on the side of the road, Chu Yan rode a tall horse with his head proud.
To be honest, sitting on the horse, Chu Yan suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he wanted to marry the girl he was thinking of right away.
On the outer wall of Uncle Anjing's Mansion, Zhong Ning led Xing Minzhi to squat on the wall, constantly looking at the alley.
Xing Minzhi was specially picked up by Su Yan last night. Counting from the Xing family, although there is no blood relationship, Xing Minzhi is Su Yan's direct brother.
Xing Minzhi and Zhong Ning were squatting on the wall at this moment, guarding Chu Yan and the others. Seeing Chu Yan appear on a big horse, Xing Minzhi excitedly pointed in that direction and shouted to Zhong Ning: "Sister Zhong Ning , come here! Brother-in-law is here!"
"Where is it?" Zhong Ning immediately stretched her neck and looked over there. After seeing the people behind Chu Yan, Zhong Ning was also very excited. She pulled Xing Minzhi and jumped off the wall to Uncle Anjing's mansion. Run to the door.
