In fact, many people today wanted to see the wedding headgear bestowed by the Empress. At the beginning, the Empress did not hide the gift from anyone, and everyone in the capital knew about it. It was precisely because of the headgear that many people suppressed their curiosity, and only after the ceremony was over did someone speak up.
The King of Qi was very moved, "My mother didn't give it to the Crown Princess. My mother really likes Prince Ning and Miss Zhou."
The prince thought to himself, he had wanted to give it to him in the first place, but he was too quick to do it. However, he did not regret it and he was too lazy to pay attention to the King of Qi who was trying to instigate him.
The King of Chu did not think much about it, and only thought that the Queen was thinking of the deceased Master Ning, "This Lord Zhou is not outstanding in appearance, I didn't expect it."
There is no need to explain this clearly, everyone knows what the King of Chu means.
The prince rolled his eyes in his heart. He could attack Zhou Shuren even when Zhou Shuren was not around. He was more concerned about his younger brother's marriage. He also made a fortune today. His father and mother had secretly sent gifts to him.
Thinking of this, the prince felt sad for his father, the emperor and the empress, that their own son had to get married in secret. After the prince's ceremony was completed, he did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to his grandfather and third uncle and left early.
The prince left, and several princes also left one after another. No one wanted to continue watching the Ning family hold a wedding. Zhang Yang thought about it and decided not to stay. It was more suitable for him to keep a low profile recently.
Inside the bridal chamber, Xue Han was chatting with Yu. Song didn't come today as she was about to give birth.
Yu was jealous, as she had always been thinking about Zhou Xuehan's dowry. Although most of it was covered, the tiles and soil on top could be seen. As she spoke, she looked around the house. The wood in the house was all of the best quality, and the jewelry box in front of the dressing table was open. This was not a dowry, but something prepared by Rongchuan.
Yu looked at the mirror again. It was not cheap, and it was such a big mirror. She felt jealous, but she had to smile. Her face looked particularly stiff and distorted.
Xue Han tried her best not to look at Yu's face. Her mother was right, jealousy makes people ugly. She was also shocked when she came in. The house was so luxurious. Rongchuan kept saying that he would give her a surprise, and she was indeed surprised. Then she sighed that the Ninghou Mansion really had a lot of money.
Yu didn't want to stay anymore. She was afraid that she couldn't control herself. If it weren't for Rongchuan, this should have been their room.
Liuli waited for Yu to leave and said, "Miss, the maid from the Marquis's Mansion just brought some food. Your husband asked you to eat some."
Xue Han heard it and said, "Okay."
The maid brought the food over. Xue Han saw that they were all her favorite dishes, so she didn't eat too much.
Outside, Rongchuan drank a lot of wine. Even though there were people helping to block the drinking, there were still people with bad intentions trying to get him drunk today. It was only because Lord Ning couldn't stand it that Rongchuan got away.
Inside the palace, the prince imitated the wedding scene, and the emperor felt sad, especially when he was kneeling to pay homage to his parents, and he waved his hand to signal the prince to go see the queen.
After the Crown Prince left, the Emperor wanted to be alone, so he signaled Eunuch Liu to go out as well.
Eunuch Liu carefully retreated and sat on a chair outside, rubbing his knees. He really felt sorry for the emperor. Then he sighed. The emperor had been unhappy since he met the empress last time. He had watched the emperor and the empress get to where they are today, and in the end he could only sigh.
The next morning, in Ning Hou Mansion, Xue Han and Rong Chuan woke up very early. Lord Ning woke up even earlier than them and was waiting to be served tea.
Xue Han is still calm. Rongchuan should not be her husband. Her husband has told her many times how he bullied his father-in-law.
Ning Xu didn't know what to say to his daughter-in-law, so he went straight in to serve tea.
Xue Han knelt respectfully, "Dad, have some tea."
Ning Xu was very happy. He finally got married. If his son worked hard, he would be able to hold his grandson next year. When he thought of his grandson, Ning Xu smiled even more deeply. "Okay, if Rong Chuan bullies you in the future, just tell dad and I will help you vent your anger."
He was mentally prepared for what his son had promised him at Zhou's house yesterday.
Xue Han was still a little nervous because she was afraid that her father-in-law would be unhappy with Rong Chuan's promise. After hearing what her father-in-law said, she felt relieved and said with a red face, "My husband is very good."
Ning Xu thought, how could it be bad? Thinking only of his father-in-law, he gave the prepared gift to Xue Han, "You have all the jewelry you need, and there are no women in your family. These are for you, take them."
Xue Han looked at the box of banknotes on the tray. Very good. She liked it very much. She said sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."
The young couple toasted each other with tea, had breakfast together, and then returned to the yard.
When Xue Han got up in the morning, she met the servants in her own courtyard. Now after having dinner, she would take a rest for a while before going to meet the servants of the entire Ninghou Mansion.
Xue Han was surprised, "It's only the first day and you want me to be the housekeeper?"
Rong Chuan, "We don't have any women in our family. Now that you are here, you will be in charge. Tell me how much silver my father gave me."
I didn’t expect Dad to be so direct, but he likes it.
Xue Han was also thinking about it, "Then count?"
"counting."
Xue Han took it out and counted it, then shook the banknotes after a while, "Fifty thousand taels, everyone in the capital says that the Ninghou Mansion is wealthy, it's really true."
Rong Chuan didn't care about the affairs of the mansion, but he knew a lot. "My father made a lot of money before he regained his status. Later, he had to stay in the capital. There were many tributes and livelihoods under the mansion. I don't know how much they made in a year, but the rumors in the capital are true."
Xue Han nodded. Some merchants sought shelter and gave a lot of gifts. "Look at yours. Dad also gave you a box."
Before Rong Chuan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was a man who saved money and added to his family fortune. After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, although he stopped saving money, his family fortune still increased. He gave the box to his wife last night and now pushed the box to her, "What my father gave me is for you. Everything in our house is yours."
Xue Han was not polite. It would be fake to be polite at this time. Besides, there was nothing wrong with what she said. Her mother was in charge of all the money in the family. But after opening the box, she asked, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
The box was filled with deeds, including deeds to houses and shops in the capital, as well as deeds to some farms near the capital and in the rice-rich south of the Yangtze River.
Rong Chuan was also surprised. This amount of wealth was too huge. "Dad, are you giving it to me in advance?"
Xue Han was surprised and put it away. The sudden wealth her mother talked about should be today. She really experienced it. Then she pursed her lips. She deeply realized how busy she would be in the future. She looked at her husband's purse and said, "Now that we are married, you don't have to carry so much money."
Rong Chuan was quite quick. He opened his purse and kept two hundred-liang notes, and gave the rest to his wife. "Although I've married you into my family, I still have to prepare this little surprise. I've always followed my father's example."
Xue Han curled her lips and agreed.
Ning Marquis' Mansion didn't even need Rong Chuan to accompany Xue Han or support her. Rong Chuan's hatred and reluctance to marry was seen by the Mansion, so Xue Han took over the Mansion very smoothly and was just waiting to officially manage it after returning home.
At the Zhou family, Zhulan was looking forward to her daughter's return home. Even though she knew that her daughter would be doing well in the Marquis' Mansion, she was still very worried about her.
Mrs. Song came in with a letter, "A letter from the Second Master."
