Chapter 468 Engagement (3)
The more Feng Changshi thought about it, the happier he became. He turned around and ordered Tang Youyin. Tang Youyin left in response, and soon came over holding an old but well-preserved betrothal gift list.
Lu Xuan, who was full of anger and displeasure, suddenly felt a little confused when he saw this ancient gift list.
In front of his eyes, a young and beautiful woman's face appeared. She was noble and proud, but she was as gentle as autumn water in front of him. She stood cutely under the tree and whispered softly: "I know that I have wronged you by marrying into my wife. However, my father only has a daughter like me. I can't get married, so I can only marry into my wife." Son-in-law. When you enter the palace, I will treat you wholeheartedly."
As a young man, he did feel a little unwilling and helpless about getting married. But he couldn't let go of the wealth and glory he was about to get, and he couldn't let go of his sweetheart either.
He held her hand and whispered: "Mei Yan, I will treat you with all my heart."
After getting married, Jiang Yan was indeed gentle and considerate to him, and the young couple lived in love for three years. . His father-in-law, the King of Nanyang, treated his son-in-law quite well, and treated him well in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Later, Jiang Yan became pregnant, and her father-in-law was even more happy.
Only he did not have much expectation for the upcoming little life. It is obviously his flesh and blood, but the surname is Jiang, and he will inherit the Jiang family's incense from now on. This is really humiliating for a man.
But he couldn't show it at all and had to pretend to be happy and hopeful.
The moment his daughter was born, he even had despicable and subtle emotions in his heart. King Nanyang wanted to have an heir, but Jiang Yan gave birth to a daughter instead of a son. Moreover, Jiang Yan was frail and lingered on the bed after giving birth to her daughter, unable to give birth to a second child.
What about recruiting a son-in-law? Shouldn’t the lineage of Nanyang Prince’s Palace be cut off?
After that, Jiang Yan died of illness. Little Jiang Shaohua lost her biological mother. King Nanyang was so sad that he took his granddaughter into his yard and took care of it himself.
He stayed as a mourner for his deceased wife for three years and gained a reputation as a man of deep love. King Nanyang did not treat him badly and made the beautiful maid Mei Ran his concubine. Mei Ran's belly was also good, and she gave birth to a son soon...
What is hateful is that the son's surname cannot be Jiang, but his surname is Lu.
The King of Nanyang submitted a memorial and asked Jiang Shaohua to be granted the title of princess. The young Jiang Shaohua became the youngest princess in the history of Daliang. A few years later, King Nanyang died of illness. Jiang Shaohua became the vassal king of Nanyang County, sitting in the wealthy Nanyang County and Nanyang Prince's Mansion.
What's even more hateful is that Jiang Shaohua's temperament and temperament are very much like the King of Nanyang, no, even worse than him. Over the past five years, Nanyang County has become increasingly wealthy and powerful, becoming the pearl of the North. Jiang Shaohua, the princess of Nanyang, became famous and respected and loved by everyone.
As a biological father, he can't even stand up to his daughter. Even his daughter's life-long events, he couldn't say anything about.
Thousands of thoughts, mixed with strong unwillingness and anger, are rushing in my chest.
Maybe it was because his emotions were too obvious, and he was staring at the old gift list too persistently. Everyone's eyes turned over.
Tang Youyin hesitated for a moment and looked at the princess.
Jiang Shaohua's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "Bring the gift list here."
Tang Youyin immediately came to his senses and respectfully presented it to Jiang Shaohua's hands. Jiang Shaohua looked at it carefully and said to Feng Changshi: "This gift list was from nineteen years ago. Judging from the current situation of the Nanyang Palace, it is a bit thin. According to this betrothal gift list, let's double it. !”
Feng Changshi was about to agree when two voices sounded in his ears at the same time.
“No need to do so much.”
“No!”
The one who said there was no need for so much was of course Cui Du.
It was Lu Xuan who said no.
Everyone looked at Lu Xuan in unison. Cui Du was also from the Nanyang Palace, so he was reluctant to spend money on the princess, which was understandable. What happened to Lu Junma? Why object?
It must not be some inexplicable self-esteem that is at work, and you don’t want to be compared with the new generation of sons-in-law! A dignified man is too petty to care about this.
Lu Xuan felt a little guilty when everyone saw him, so he pretended to be calm and said: "The palace now maintains a guard camp and also supports the Nanyang Army. If a large sum of gold and silver is used as a betrothal gift, I am afraid it will affect the daily operations of the palace."
Feng Changshi did not give any face: "Jun Ma is overly worried. I have set aside a portion every year since three years ago. There are also jewelry and jades left by the princess and the prince in the warehouse, which is enough to cover the betrothal gift. "
Lu Xuan still felt unhappy and said calmly: "What do you think, Changning Bo?"
Cui Du knew Jiang Shaohua's attitude towards Lu Xuan and chose without thinking. Standing on Jiang Shaohua's side: "I am really flattered by the princess's kindness and promotion. However, since the princess has this intention, I will accept it."
Anyway, you can bring back all the betrothal gifts. Throw it around and put it back in the warehouse, leaving it to their children to inherit in the future.
Cui Du's thoughts are clearly written on his face!
Jiang Shaohua looked at Cui Du with a smile: "That's it."
Cui Du nodded vigorously.
Chen Changshi smiled happily: "Leave the appointment and engagement to Chen and Feng Changshi!"
Jiang Shaohua responded with a smile: "Thank you, both Changshi."< br>
Naturally, he ignored his biological father Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was so angry that he wanted to get up and walk away, showing off his face. But the legs had their own ideas, and they just sat there firmly refusing to move.
Jiang Shaohua saw this and was stunned in his heart. All the things she had done in her previous life were all due to her soft-heartedness. Now, she will not give Lu Xuan any chance to make trouble.
At this moment, the attendant beside Chen Changshi hurriedly entered the main hall, whispered a few words in Chen Changshi's ear, and put a letter into Chen Changshi's hands.
When Chen Changshi opened the letter and read it, his expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Shaohua's heart skipped a beat.
On weekdays, there are frequent and frequent exchanges between Nanyang Palace and the capital. All news from the capital was sent to Chen Changshi first. Chen Changshi will consider the severity of the matter and report it to her.
"Did something big happen again in the DPRK?" Jiang Shaohua asked directly.
Chen Changshi frowned and did not want to say anything in front of the ministers: "Something did happen. Please move to the study, Princess, and I will report back alone."
In other words, something big has indeed happened, and it is not convenient for everyone to know.
Jiang Shaohua's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
She stood up: "Chen Changshi came with this princess. The rest of them went back and went about their own errands."
A group of subordinate officials agreed one after another and left. go. Lu Xuan had long been isolated from the "major events" of the palace. He looked at his daughter longingly and left helplessly.
As for Cui Du, he was neither keen nor interested in politics or officialdom. He was only worried that the problems Jiang Shaohua encountered were too difficult.
He shamelessly went outside the study and waited with Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong.
