In the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion, Clerk Mian sat at the head of the table, looking down at the betrothal gift list prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

According to the rules for a prince to marry a wife, the Ministry of Rites will prepare a betrothal gift of sixty-eight tons for him, but if the prince is wealthy or has a heart, he can purchase a betrothal gift on his own.

Although Hua Jingyun was a prince, he was not taken seriously by the emperor because he did not walk in the court. Therefore, the people in the Ministry of Rites pretended not to know and still prepared according to the prince's regulations.

The extra four lifts were prepared by Hua Jingyun himself.

The clerk's anger gradually grew in his heart. How many of those seemingly numerous and weighty objects were valuable?

Do you really think he is an ignorant person?

Suppressing his anger, he looked at the four moves that Hua Jingyun had prepared, and his expression became better.

Four loads, one load of jewelry, one load of antique calligraphy and paintings, one load of materials worth a thousand gold, and one load of gold, a total of two thousand taels.

All four items are sufficient. He is really the richest prince, and he is really rich.

Looking up again, I saw Hua Jingyun with the waist of a bee and the back of an ape, with a crane and a beetle shape, and handsome features, which was pleasing to the eye.

Not to mention anything else, he was quite satisfied with the appearance, and it matched Mianmian very well.

Wen Lingxiao also looked at Hua Jingyun carefully. Recently, he paid more attention to Hua Jingyun's affairs. In addition to saying that he had a tough life, many people said that he was rich.

Wealth is good, wealth is very good!

Mr. Pei, the Minister of Rites, handed over his hand, "General Wen, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the wedding date. It is the eighth day of July. There is still one and a half months left. The Ministry of Rites will do its best to handle the wedding of King Annan and Miss Wen. I just want to talk to the general."

confirm."

The clerk put away the list and said, "Say."

Mr. Pei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The General's Palace and Annan Palace are separated by a wall. I thought that when the time comes, Young Master Wen will carry Miss Wen directly to the Annan Palace to worship, so that the General can also go to the Palace to observe the ceremony."

"What do you think, General?"

Hua Jingyun frowned slightly and asked before the clerk could speak: "Master Pei, do you think that my princess is not worthy of the eight-carriage sedan chair?"

Mr. Pei quickly held up his hands and explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I made this suggestion because the two palaces are too close. You have to get off the sedan as soon as you get up. If you go straight in, General Wen can also go to the palace to watch the ceremony."

Hua Jingyun spoke again, "Go out and turn left around Qianmen Street, then come back through the right alley."

Mr. Pei is in a bit of a dilemma. Wherever the wedding sedan passes, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars and cents. Sparing such a large circle is not a small expense.

Seeing that he still dared to seize Sosou, the clerk clasped his hands on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If the general marries a daughter, naturally the whole city will know about it. It is a grand marriage. Mr. Pei is so hesitant. It seems that he thinks that the general is not worthy.

Give me this face."

As he spoke, he swung the booklet in his hand and threw it directly at Lord Pei, "The happy day touches my brow. Pei Xuan, I think you, the Minister of Etiquette, are not good at etiquette. Take your people and those betrothal gifts and get out."

."

Wen Lingxiao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and stood up directly, "Wang Qing, see the guests off."

Wang Qing, the chief steward of the General's Mansion, looked unhappy and raised his hand. Those waiting to receive rewards outside the courtyard immediately stepped forward. After obeying the order, they dragged the people from the Ministry of Etiquette out without saying a word.

Mr. Pei was so frightened that he said, "General Wen, General, you can't do it, you can't do it..."

Wen Lingxiao said coldly, "Gag your mouth."

Immediately, a sweaty handkerchief blocked Master Pei's mouth, and despite his constant struggle, he was still lifted out.

Wang Qing looked at the people carrying the betrothal gifts and trembled with fear, and scolded: "Carry these betrothal gifts away, don't occupy the place of the general's mansion."

After a moment, the door closed with a 'bang' sound, and everyone in the etiquette department outside the door looked at each other in disgrace.

The front yard had quieted down. After hearing the news, Mrs. Wen had already led Wen Mianmian halfway, feeling worried.

How could Wen Mianmian return to Caiyun Residence at this time? She was shocked that her father was so aggressive and even beat out the adults who came to hire him.

Ouch, you won't be unlucky if you offend someone, right?

"Mom, let's go take a look."

She took Mrs. Wen's hand and ran away. As soon as she arrived in the front hall, she heard her father's angry voice. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she heard Wen Wen mian say:

"My dear son-in-law, don't be afraid. Pei Xuan has always been a high-minded person. My father-in-law has long wanted to deal with him."

"I got angry when I saw the betrothal gift list today. That bastard didn't take us both seriously. Don't worry, my father-in-law will take care of this for you."

"No matter what you say, I want him to prepare a decent betrothal gift again. My father-in-law will bring this generous betrothal gift to her for a small sum of money to your house, so that you two can live more comfortably in the future."

In the hall, the clerk Mian patted Hua Jingyun's shoulder with his big palm, as if he had treated you as one of his own.

Wen Lingxiao also echoed, "Brother-in-law, we will be a family from now on. Those ignorant people outside who bully you will bully me. From now on, we will not distinguish each other."

"Don't go back today, stay at the house to have dinner, and we three can have a good drink."

Poor Hua Jingyun has never experienced such enthusiasm. I really don't understand why his cheap father-in-law and uncle change his attitude so quickly. One moment, he wants to cut Pei Xuan into pieces, and the next moment, he is beaming with joy and talking to him. This is

Which one was sung?

Wen Mianmian, who was standing outside the door, couldn't figure it out. The furious rage she imagined was not there at all. The people in her eyes who wanted to be called brothers, were they really her father and brother?

When she carefully saw that the two of them were not going to have any bad luck, she felt relieved and walked in with a smile, "Dad, brother, I'm here."

"Mianmian, come quickly."

The clerk reluctantly waved his hand, "Come and meet King Anan, we will be a family from now on, don't be embarrassed."

The smile on Wen Mianmian's face almost failed to stabilize, but she obediently stepped forward to greet Hua Jingyun, "I have met King Annan."

Hua Jingyun smiled as he thought about her transforming into 'Xiao Cui' and touching into his Jinyuan. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Miss Wen, there is no need to be polite."

Wen Lingxiao nodded appreciatively, "There is no need to be polite between families."

Wen Mianmian: "..."

In the hall, father and son greeted each other warmly, while Hua Jingyun and Wen Mianmian smiled politely and awkwardly.

Mrs. Wen stood at the door, accepted Hua Jingyun's bow, and smiled, "You guys chat while I go arrange the meals."

She really couldn't stay any longer. The words "reserved, reserved, and tactful" seemed to not exist in the eyes of the father and son. They looked up at the sky and sighed. Are the father and son really reliable?
