Liu Heng took out something from the space.
A wind-up music box, a snowy glass ball, a pocket watch, a bone china tea set, a crystal flower basket...
These things that can be bought for a few hundred yuan in modern times are now good things that are difficult to buy for a thousand taels of silver.
The betrothal gift prepared by Liu Heng was mainly based on these items, plus some things that most people would prepare as betrothal gifts.
Liu Kun was shocked when he saw the music box and glass ornaments.
"How much did you spend? You didn't spend all your family money on these things, did you?"
You must know that a music box is worth more than five thousand taels.
Liu Hiiragi: "No, these things don't cost much."
Liu Kun had a "Don't lie to me" expression on his face.
Liu Hiiragi: "Really, I switched directly with foreigners."
Liu Tu: "??"
Liu Hiiragi: "When you were working at Baiweilou, I ran to the port when I had nothing to do and learned to speak foreigners."
Liu Hiiragi: "After I became able to speak foreigners, I communicated more with those foreigners and started doing business with them without going through the Thirteenth Line. I exchanged these things with the foreigners for tea and silk."
After Liu Kui heard what happened, he gave his brother a thumbs up.
When the people in the clan heard that Prince He had hired a cook as his son-in-law, they despised Prince He. The female relatives even "sympathized" with Little Gege.
As a result, the betrothal gift given by the Liu family left them speechless.
The total value of these betrothal gifts exceeds one hundred thousand taels of silver, which shows that although he is a cook, he is also wealthy.
Xiao Gege is blessed to be married.
And Qi Xiaoge's status is not low to begin with, and her own status can bring her husband's status up.
All the people who said mean things shut up.
The prince was very happy that his son-in-law made him look good.
The emperor had a good impression of Liu Kun at first, but after eating several of Liu Kun's delicacies, he liked Liu Kun even more.
It is a pity that Liu Kui is his niece-in-law and cannot enter the palace to serve him exclusively.
Liu Kuan cooked meals for the emperor several times in the imperial kitchen. He thought that he had fulfilled his grandfather's wish.
Moreover, he is now the consort, and his status is much higher than that of the imperial chef.
During preparations for Liu Kun's wedding, Zhang Fenxiang and Li Shannai cooperated with the emperor to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.
Zhang Huixiang and Li Shannai took the initiative to act as bait in order to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.
The two made a high-profile appearance in Beijing.
They went to two restaurants in the capital to compete in cooking with the chefs of the two restaurants.
These two chefs have also participated in cooking competitions. Although they did not enter the top ten, they were still in the top twenty and were very famous in the capital.
Naturally, the two people's fight attracted the attention of many people.
With the attention of the people in the capital, Zhang Fenxiang and Li Shannai won both games.
Their names were known to the people in the capital.
The forces hiding in the dark heard that they were back and sent people to attack them.
Both of them were very good at martial arts and escaped the pursuit of those who came to kill them.
The emperor's people secretly followed those people, traced their lair, and discovered that the man behind the scenes turned out to be a certain royal family member, Prince Duan.
After that, just like in the TV series, Zhang Fenxiang and Li Shannai assisted the emperor to defeat the villain boss Prince Duan, and exposed his conspiracy to murder the emperor and want to rebel.
The emperor rewarded them based on their merits, but both Zhang Fenxiang and Li Shannai refused to work as royal cooks in the palace. They only asked the emperor to rehabilitate their father.
The emperor agreed, but still rewarded them with gold, silver and jewelry, and granted marriage to the two.
The two were very happy, and happily prepared to return to Guangzhou to meet their mother with the marriage decree and gold and silver, and then prepare for the marriage.
Liu Heng and Liu Kun sent the two people out of the city. They said goodbye to the two brothers and turned around to leave. But before they had gone far, they were stopped.
It's a guy dressed as a monk.
Li Shannai was so shocked that he shouted: "Dad? You are still alive."
When the Liu brothers heard the voice, they stepped forward curiously.
Liu Kuang frowned and saw that the monk had a familiar face. Who could it be if it wasn't Li Sixiang?
It turned out that when Li Sixiang discovered that Zhang Sanwei had been killed and chased him out, he was no match for the murderer.
Fortunately, Li Sixiang had a strong ability to escape and escaped from the man's hands.
Li Sixiang was rescued by a monk from a temple and has been recuperating in the temple.
When he recovered from his injuries and returned to the capital, he heard the news that he had killed Zhang Sanwei.
Li Sixiang felt that there was a huge conspiracy and did not dare to show up again, so he disguised himself as a monk and hid in the temple.
He only enters the capital every once in a while to inquire about information, hoping to find out the murderer who killed Zhang Sanwei and blamed him.
But he alone could not find the mastermind behind it.
During this period, Li Sixiang did not enter the capital and did not know that his son and Zhang Sanwei's daughter had come to the capital.
By the time he found out, two people had already found the mastermind and helped him and Zhang Sanwei clear their grievances.
Li Sixiang: "..."
Li Sixiang is very proud that her son is really capable!
After Li Sixiang had an exchange with Liu Kun, he followed his son and future daughter-in-law south.
Since then, the family has created a gourmet brand in the South that continues more than three hundred years later.
Liu Kun and Xiao Gege got married.
After getting married, the two stayed in the capital for half a year before preparing to set off.
Little Princess is looking forward to going out.
She had been living in the capital, and the furthest she went was to offer incense in a temple in the suburbs, so she was full of expectations for the outside world.
Little Gege is more positive than the Liu brothers about going overseas.
Prince He actually wanted to go out with them for fun, but the emperor wouldn't let them go, so Prince He had no choice but to stay.
The three people set out from Tianjin Port at the beginning of spring.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Kun and Xiao Gege went to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Liu Kun saw Qinya and Liuli at the palace banquet.
Liuli looked at Liu Kun from a distance, her eyes full of sadness, as if Liu Kun had failed her.
The two are already married.
Not long after Liu Kun left the capital.
Qinya was in poor health, so instead of marrying off to the grasslands like other princesses, she stayed in the capital.
Because of her poor health, it was difficult for her to have children, so her husband took in several concubines.
The sons and daughters in her name were all born to concubines.
I just don’t know if she can live happily in such a life?
Liuli also married in the capital through Qinya's light. She was a member of the clan and had a title in her family.
When Liuli goes out, he can be called Fujin.
However, Liu Kun was always in her mind, and her relationship with her husband could only be regarded as makeshift.
There are also concubines in the family, but the number is not as large as the number of concubines in Qinya's family.
Moreover, Liuli has his own biological son.
From now on, the title in the family will also belong to her son.
From this point of view, Liuli should be happier than the princess Qinya. (End of chapter)
