Xing Minzhi ran up to Su Yan, and raised his hand to Su Yan as if offering a treasure: "Look, elder sister, brother-in-law gave it to me!"
Su Yan knew that on the day when the uncle-to-be came to celebrate the big gift, he would prepare something for the young children of the woman's family, and the young children would say a few auspicious words in return, just to win the prize.
Hearing that Xing Minzhi changed his name to Chu Yan's brother-in-law so quickly, Su Yan pinched Xing Minzhi's face: "Did I give you the money to change the name? This is called brother-in-law, and the change is quick."
Xing Minzhi obviously didn't know that there was such a thing as money for change of mouth. He looked at Su Yan in a ignorant manner, then at the golden bean in his hand, and smiled: "I've given you the money."
Seeing that Zhong Ning also grabbed a lot of golden beans, Su Yan laughed and got angry, and gave Zhong Ning a look: "Such a big man, he still wants golden beans like a child."
Zhong Ning was not convinced: "I haven't reached Ji yet, besides, I am also his sister-in-law, so of course I have to give it to me." After speaking, Zhong Ning looked at Xing Minzhi with a smile again: "Minzhi, give yours to my sister too. , my sister will keep it for you, and will return it to you when you grow up and marry a wife."
Although Xing Minzhi was young, he was a ghost, and immediately put all the golden beans into the purse Han Shi embroidered for him, smiled and shook his head at Zhong Ning.
"Small thing." Zhong Ning took out one of her golden beans and placed it in Su Yan's palm, showing off, "It's solid!"
Su Yan weighed it, feeling the heavy weight of the golden bean in the palm of her hand, and gave the golden bean to Xing Minzhi, Zhong Ning jumped in anger.
The liveliness outside lasted until mid-sun, and with the return of the maids, the Xiwu Courtyard also became lively, chattering about today's grand occasion in the mansion.
Su Yan felt a little itchy when she heard that, until Cai Xia found out that all the people from Chu Yan had left Uncle Anjing's mansion, she walked out of the Xiwu Courtyard and went to the place where the dowry was temporarily placed, intending to see if it was true as the maid said. so-so.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Yan saw the old lady instructing the old woman to seal the cages and put them into storage. The old lady was wearing newly made clothes, and she was particularly energetic.
Seeing Su Yan coming, the old lady had a kind smile on her face, took a booklet from the maid behind her and handed it to Su Yan, and said with a smile: "This is the dowry list, please take a look."
Su Yan opened the betrothal gift list, looking at the list of item names on it, Su Yan was almost dazzled, she noticed that there was even a box containing house deeds, land deeds and stubs.
Su Yan glanced at the unsealed cage, the things in the cage reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.
Holding the dowry list, Su Yan finally understood why Chu Yan didn't want those banknotes. Compared with these things, those banknotes were really nothing.
However, Su Yan felt that Chu Yan should have really sent her all his family wealth this time.
The dowry list was really too long, Su Yan only glanced at it and handed it back to the old lady.
The old lady didn't answer, and said with a smile: "There are two copies of the betrothal gift list, you should take this back first, and seal these things first, and when you leave the cabinet, we will bring them back intact."
Jinyang Princess Palace.
Princess Jinyang listened to the maid's description of Chu Yan's majestic scene, and nodded in satisfaction: "For he has a heart."
Grandma Wu smiled and said, "It's still a blessing for us Princess Le'an to be valued so much by Prince Jing."
Originally, Madam Wu's words were flattering to Princess Jinyang, but unexpectedly the flattery missed the right place.
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted: "If you say you are lucky, that kid Chu Yan is also lucky. He can marry Le'an, but he is so high."
In the eyes of Princess Jinyang, Chu Yan's family is really in a mess, if Su Yan is not willing, she would not want to let her precious daughter marry to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Mammy Wu immediately followed suit and said, "What the eldest princess said is true."
Princess Jinyang said again: "The things that I picked out before have been sealed up, and I will send them to Princess Le'an tomorrow."
"Yes." Nanny Wu backed out, and Princess Jinyang leaned back on the chair with a slight smile on her lips.
After this day, no one on the street talked about which daughter-in-law got involved with which man again, and what people talked about was all the great work of Prince Jing's mansion.
For a while, Su Yan became the envy of all the unmarried girls in the capital. Even Princess Rongyang and the others came to Uncle Anjing's mansion specially in the afternoon after they found out, just to see what exactly Chu Yan sent. How much dowry.
As a result, everyone left with their mouths open.
After the old lady asked people to put the things into the warehouse, she specially handed over the key to Su Yan.
After finally finishing her busy work, the old lady went back to the house and drank a cup of hot tea to rest for a while, she was a little sleepy, but when she thought of Su Yan's dowry, the old lady regained her energy, and immediately called Madam Xu.
"Take the key and open the warehouse to see how much I still have in my dowry back then. Compared with the ones sent by King Jing's Mansion today, the ones I prepared before are a bit thin."
Mother Xu was secretly startled: "Madam, it's all..."
The old lady interrupted Madam Xu: "If you are told to go, you can go, take a look first, and then draw up a list for me."
After Madam Xu left, the old lady sat on the couch and muttered to herself: "Seeing that Sister Yan is getting married, I don't know how Sister Rong is doing now, and there is no news from the Lin family, which is really worrying. "
In the Xiwu courtyard, Su Yan took out the betrothal gift list, read it carefully over and over again, feeling very happy.
Zhong Ning was very happy to get a bunch of golden beans, but after seeing Su Yan's things in the warehouse, she started to be greedy, and now seeing Su Yan looking at the dowry list with silly joy, she couldn't help but hold her face and look forward to it: " When I get married, let Xia Mochu give me so many things."
Hearing Zhong Ning mention Xia Mochu, Su Yan asked by the way: "How are you getting along with Xia Mochu?"
"It's pretty good." Zhong Ning suddenly whispered to Su Yan shyly: "Xia Mochu said that after the deal is completed, no one can stop him from marrying me."
Su Yan couldn't help being curious: "Business? Has Xia Mochu also started business?"
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, you must know that the status of merchants in this dynasty is extremely low, even if you are rich or rich, you have never had any status as a businessman in this dynasty.
Even the descendants of businessmen are not eligible to take the imperial examination, which is evident.
Although the status of the businessman is low, the profit from doing business is considerable. Therefore, in recent years, many people in Beijing have started to open shops secretly, but no one dared to speak out.
Just like Chu Yan, he has many shops in the capital, but he has to ask the shopkeeper to hang it under the name of someone else, otherwise if this kind of thing gets out, Chu Yan, the son of King Jing, will definitely become a laughing stock in Beijing.
Laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes is probably such a concept.
Therefore, if Xia Mochu really went into business, then Su Yan imagined how angry General Xia would be.
It was only then that Zhong Ning remembered that she hadn't told Su Yan about Xia Mochu, and immediately said, "Actually, it's not his business."
