Zhulan looked sideways at her granddaughter. There were two paintings, one was 1,400 taels, and the other was 1,110 taels. She wanted to know which one belonged to Changzhi.
Yuwen pointed to the box in the girl's hand, "I took a picture of the white tiger that dad was talking about, and I took a picture of wintersweet for myself."
Chang Zhi stopped grinding his teeth and said, "White Tiger Tu has a lot of money, do you still have enough money in your hand?"
Yuwen said, "It's one thousand four hundred taels, but it's okay. I've saved a lot of money over the years, and there's still a lot left."
Changzhi, a father, envies his daughter. His wife dotes on him and her daughter even more. All the money in her daughter's hands is stuffed by her daughter-in-law.
The fourth prince eavesdropped with open ears, and then got upset. His mother had a dowry property, and she would give him money every year. However, the prince's eldest brother was getting married, so his mother divided the dowry property, with the prince's eldest brother taking 70%, and he and his sister alone. One and a half percent, so his inheritance is considerable.
As for asking his father for it, haha, unless he gets married, his father will not give it to him!
Zhulan and Changzhi chatted for a few more words. Changzhi got the white tiger picture he wanted and didn't go in to see it. He was going back to the Hanlin Academy.
Chang Zhi saw off his mother and daughter first, turned around and just got on the carriage, Chang Zhi saw Zhuo Guyu entering the auction house.
In the evening, the news about the Yong'an Duke's mansion had spread throughout the capital. Zhulan waited for Shuren to come back and asked, "Are the rumors true?"
Zhou Shuren said, "Well, I looked at the accounts of today's auction. The sales were registered. The Yong'an Imperial Palace did auction a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings."
Zhulan, "It's good to have any chance of getting hyped."
Zhou Shuren: "I'm even more curious about how much wealth the Duke of Yong'an made during the war!"
Duke Yong'an is not an upright person. He spent almost one hundred thousand taels today. One hundred thousand taels.
"Many people in the capital have the same idea as you. The purpose of the Yong'an Government Palace has been achieved."
Zhuo Guyu stayed with the prince for a few days. Although he returned to the Hanlin Academy after the house raid, he knew everything he needed to know. Now that the financial resources of the Duke's government have been shown, Zhuo Guyu's marriage will not be high or low this time. No more.
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "That's why I don't like Yong'an Duke's Mansion. There are too many calculations and too little sincerity."
Zhulan agreed and asked, "The prince has been studying at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Zhou Shuren, "I will stay in the household department before the wedding."
"Or is it taught by Zhang Jinghong?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, the prince is very satisfied with Zhang Jinghong."
"Yes, after all, he is a person who has been a prince and received the education of a prince since he was a child."
A few more days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Ran family's flower banquet. Zhulan went there in person, and Yuwen also went. Today the princess left the palace, not only Yuwen, but also Linxi also went. Because the princess participated, today's flower banquet was very lively.
The garden of Ran's family is very exquisite, and the flowers in the garden are all rare varieties. In order to hold a flower banquet, many rare varieties were bought.
When Zhulan arrived, Qi's daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law were entertaining the guests, and Qi was sitting and chatting with the guests.
Mrs. Qi greeted Zhulan and asked in a puzzled tone, "Why aren't Ran Wan and Yudie here?"
Zhulan, "Ran Wan said that today is all about unmarried girls, so she won't come back. Yudie was sick the day before yesterday and hasn't recovered yet."
Qi Shi, "If you get sick in summer, you don't want to get well."
"Yeah, so you have to be more careful in summer. The princess hasn't arrived yet?"
Qi replied, "It will take a while to arrive."
Because there were many people in the room, Zhulan didn't ask which young master came today. Although the young master and the young lady were separated, she couldn't help but glance at it when she entered the garden. Many young masters came today.
Qi lowered her voice, "The future prince-in-law has arrived."
Zhulan has not yet met her future prince-in-law. The prince-in-law stayed in the capital and took up a casual position. When he marries the princess, he will be promoted to an official position. The emperor has already made arrangements.
Within a quarter of an hour, Linxi arrived. As soon as Linxi came, she came close to Yuwen and lowered her voice, "Guess who I saw?"
Yuwen's hand paused while eating the fruit, "The future prince-in-law? No, you have seen the future prince-in-law. The one who can make you so mysterious is Mr. Gu?"
Linxi found it extremely boring, "Can you be so smart?"
Yuwen's eyes lit up a little, it was really Gu Sheng, and then she frowned, "Why is he here?"
For the flower banquet hosted by the public, the invitation posts are all selected through a competition.
Linxi spread her hands, "You don't even know, and I don't even know."
Yuwen didn't hear what her father had said, so she motioned for the girl to lower her head, said something in a low voice, and the girl turned around and went out.
Soon the princess arrived. After welcoming her, the ladies all surrounded her. It was so difficult for them to see the princess. It was a rare meeting today and they wanted to chat with the princess. It would be better if they could become friends.
Yes, it is so realistic. Becoming friends with the princess will be good for their future marriage.
This time Zhenyue is the perfect princess, with a smile on her face all the time, perfect etiquette, and controlled communication. When there is a conflict with a young lady, she handles it in a natural way.
Linxi and Yuwen looked at each other, they were indeed princesses.
This dynasty attaches great importance to the education of princesses. Although princesses of a country do not need to participate in government affairs, they still have to learn what they should learn. In fact, the princess's schoolwork is also quite heavy.
In the pavilion where the princes were, Gu Sheng was dragged here by the future prince-in-law. How did he get to know the future prince-in-law? Because he had been working diligently in the palace recently, and one day he saw the emperor meeting the future prince-in-law. They came out of the palace together and chatted very well. .
After getting in touch with him, he felt that the consort was easy to get along with, and he became familiar with her as soon as he went back and forth.
Gu Sheng sat next to his future consort, opposite his acquaintances Zhuo Guyu and Mr. Du. Ji Deming was not around this time. Ji Deming had no chance to attend today's banquet.
Zhuo Guyu didn't like Gu Sheng. He didn't like Gu Sheng when he first saw him. Facts have proved that his intuition was right. "I didn't expect that Mr. Gu would also ask for leave today."
He stayed with the prince for a few days and then returned to the Hanlin Academy. When he came back, he found out that when he was with the prince, Gu Sheng entered the palace one after another and met the future prince-in-law, which made him feel like he had been robbed of his position. He became increasingly wary of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng said calmly, "Master Zhuo can invite you, but I can't?"
Zhuo Guyu, "I think in Mr. Gu's eyes, official duties are the most important."
Gu Sheng smiled, "What do you mean, you're asking for leave just because you don't care about official duties?"
Zhuo Guyu also said calmly, "You are over-interpreting it."
"oh."
Zhuo Guyu, "..."
The future prince-in-law chuckled. He knew that after Zhuo Guyu attended the banquet, he invited Gu Sheng to join him. Sure enough, he was right to invite him.
Zhuo Guyu took a deep breath, "Have I ever offended you?"
The future prince-in-law chuckled in his heart. He had offended so many things, but Princess Shang didn't feel bad about it. Anyway, he was a person who didn't like to work hard, so he didn't care, but Zhuo Guyu was arrogant in front of him, which made him unhappy!
Future Prince Consort, "What do you think?"
