Chapter 1117 Desirable Gift

?Zaozao has a lot of dowry, so I plan to send it to Wu's house the day before they get married.

Before breakfast this day, Zao Zao said to Yu Xi: "Mother, why should the dowry be sent to Wu's house instead of directly to the Princess Mansion?" The Princess Mansion was repaired at the end of last year. The dowry is sent directly, no problem at all.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's so decent, otherwise who knows how much you will marry?"

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Mother, the dowry will be sent to Wu's house, and then moved from Wu's house back to the princess mansion, don't you think this is a waste of manpower and time?"

Brother You smiled lightly and said, "Sister, after the dowry is delivered to Wu's house, you have to open it for relatives and friends to see! If your dowry is carried directly to the princess' mansion, who knows what you dowry. At that time, it will be the parents who will criticize , not you."

Zao Zao was very curious and asked, "Hey, Ayou, how do you know this?"

Brother Yu shrugged and said: "Every child knows things, only you, eldest sister, don't understand anything."

Zao Zao was choked again. Anyway, every time I talk to Brother Yu, she always feels embarrassed,

Yun Qing said: "Zao Zao, I will get married the next day, I can't go anywhere for these two days, just stay in the palace."

Zao Zao felt very wronged, but because she was really bored two days ago, she went for a walk in the street alone under the pretense of going to Feng's house to visit Huo Changqing. In the end, they were criticized by Yun Qing and Yu Xi in turn.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Tomorrow, relatives and friends will come to put on makeup, so it's impossible for her to go out." Originally, it took two days to put on makeup, but Zaozao didn't want to sit in the palace and wait, so it was shortened to one day.

Zao Zao said with a bitter face: "The gift is nothing more than jewelry or a screen or something, I don't want it." She doesn't like these, and the gift is also put in the box.

Brother Yu said strangely: "Eldest sister, these are all money! Do you still think it's too much money?" As for her eldest sister, she wished to spend a penny in half, and she didn't want any money. The sun came out from the west up.

Zao Zao naturally doesn't think it's too much money, but she wants to receive a pleasant gift.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Didn't you keep clamoring to have a daughter, keep these things for her to use in the future."

"By the time my daughter can wear jewelry, these things will be out of date." In the future, she will give her daughter the best jewelry and the most beautiful clothes, so she doesn't want old ones.

Yun Qing was so ashamed that she couldn't listen any longer, she thought about her daughter wearing beautiful jewelry even before she got married. It's so far away.

Yuxi laughed and said: "It's outdated, won't you get it into a jewelry store to make a new style?"

"That's right, I didn't expect this." It's not that I didn't expect this, but she didn't care about these things at all.

Zao Zao doesn't like women's clothing and prefers military uniforms. This is something that many people know. So adding makeup to her was a headache for everyone.

Mrs. Chang asked Feng Dajun: "The eldest princess never wears jewelry, what would you like to add to her?" Forget about gold, silver and jewelry.

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "That girl has been coveting my bow and arrow for a long time, so you gave her my bow and arrow as a wedding gift." This set of bows and arrows is made of fine iron, which was painstakingly made by two masters. It's just that he hasn't been on the battlefield in person for a long time, so it's a pity to let him go.

Chang frowned and said, "That bow and arrow has seen blood, isn't it auspicious?"

"If it's the second princess, then definitely not." Before finishing speaking, Feng Dajun asked: "When the second princess gets married, we don't need to add makeup!"

Chang said with a smile: "Have you ever seen someone who would add makeup to their daughter-in-law?"

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "The emperor and the queen are not rigid people. The princess will definitely be very happy to receive this gift."

In the morning of the second day, Liu'er saw two people carrying a big box through the palace, and asked Chang's strangely: "Auntie, what is this?" It is also impossible to send a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

Zao Zao seemed to have a feeling, stepped forward to open the box, and saw the bow and arrow inside. Just about to pick it up and try it out, Liu Er stopped her.

Liu'er asked Chang: "Is this bow and arrow newly made?"

She is not willing to let Zao Zao touch.

Before Chang could open his mouth, Zao Zao exclaimed excitedly: "This is Uncle Feng's bow and arrow. I didn't expect him to give it to me." Of course, there are Cui Mo, Xu Wu and others.

Liu'er's complexion changed, but she quickly recovered: "Then did this thing see blood?"

Chang said with a smile: "My lord said that the eldest princess wanted this set of bows and arrows a long time ago. It's just that this set of bows and arrows was deeply loved by my lord, so I didn't give up at that time." This means that the most beloved thing of General Feng Dajun Give it to the princess as a wedding gift. It is not uncommon to give expensive gifts, but it is very rare to give something you love.

Zao Zao was overjoyed: "Haha, Auntie, thank Uncle Feng for me!"

Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Tong, gave a sword that cuts iron like mud, which is also Cui Mo's favorite thing. Mrs. Xu Ling gave a piece of cold iron.

Ling said with a smile: "I just found this piece of cold iron at the beginning of the year." Because the time was too tight, I didn't make it into a weapon, but gave it directly to Zao Zao. Let her find a craftsman herself and make a weapon that suits her heart.

Zao Zao was overjoyed: "I happen to be short of close-fitting armor." The gifts from everyone were all in line with her wishes.

At this time, the servant girl outside replied again: "Eldest Princess, Second Princess, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Dingyuan are here."

Liu'er smiled and said: "Carry the box into the room." Putting the bow and arrow in the bedroom will scare the others.

What Xiang added to Zao Zao was a set of red gold jewelry, which is not brilliant, but passable.

Lu Xiu handed a palm-sized box to Zao Zao, and said with a smile: "There are a few precious stones in here, and they are reserved for the children." She knew that Zao Zao would not wear jewelry, so she didn't give any jewelry, but gave it directly gem. In the future, when Zao Zao has a daughter, she can use it to make jewelry.

Zao Zao opened the box, and saw that there were blue and red gemstones inside, six of each color, and each one was as big as a little thumbnail.

"Second aunt, thank you, I like this thing very much." I really like it. These gemstones can be used to make a flower crown for my daughter in the future, and I think it will be very beautiful after wearing it.

Xiang Zixin's expression changed slightly.

"Eldest princess, second princess, grandma of the Tan family is here." Tan Tuo did not remarry after his wife's death, and now his daughter-in-law is in charge of the family.

Because makeup is only scheduled for the morning, so people come and go throughout the morning, very lively. As for Zao Zao, he was soft-hearted when he received the gift.

During lunch, Zao Zao said excitedly: "Mom, I received a lot of presents today!"

"It seems that the things Mrs. Feng and the others gave you really like it!" Otherwise, you wouldn't be so happy.

"Haha, yes! Mother, you don't know, Uncle Feng treasures that bow and arrow very much, even Feng Zhiao would not let him touch it on weekdays." Unexpectedly, he gave it to her.

Zao Zao was raised by Huo Changqing, which is different for Feng Dajun and the others. Therefore, this gift is also very expensive.

Liu'er hesitated for a while and said: "Father, mother, is it unlucky to see blood on the bow and arrow?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's okay. This thing is not sent to Wu's house, but directly carried to the princess mansion."

After lunch, Zao Zao looked at the Qi Hao brothers and asked, "Where are your gifts?"

Qi Hao said with a smile: "Sister, I have prepared a box of books for you, you can read slowly!"

Zao Zao glared at Qi Hao fiercely, what is wrong with giving her a gift, she insisted on giving her a book, didn't she know that she doesn't like to read books.

Brother You didn't bother, handed a banknote to Zaozao and said, "Eldest sister, I don't know what to give, so the three of us pooled five hundred taels of silver. You can buy whatever you like."

Zao Zao took the bank note, then deliberately glanced at Qi Hao and said, "Ah You still loves me the most." Comparing books to money, he naturally likes money more.

Brother Xuan heard this, and explained: "Eldest sister, the books that elder brother sent, besides your favorite travel notes, there are also books on planting flowers and plants. If you don't like it, elder brother-in-law will definitely like it." These things don't cost much. But it took a lot of effort.

Zao Zao rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Books on planting flowers and plants! That's pretty good."

The palace is peaceful and happy, but the atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion is not so good.

When Xiang Zixin returned to the mansion, she told Qiu Shi about adding makeup: "My brother and sister gave the eldest princess twelve gems, each of which was as big as a fingernail, and the color was also very good. It's two silver." I don't know how much money Lu Xiu has scraped from the public. It is said that all the rewards and salaries received by the second wife belonged to the public, and only the Duke believed this.

Zhong Minxiu pretended not to hear Xiang Zixin's words, she just lowered her head and teased the child in her arms. The gift from the second aunt was generous, but the empress would still lose her. At that time, I will definitely make up for it from other places.

Qiu Shi didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Axiu has a heart."

The smile on Xiang Zixin's face was almost unbearable.

After lunch, Zhong Minxiu carried Tiantian back to her place of residence. After coaxing her daughter to sleep, Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't go into the palace with you today."

"It can't be your fault, the old lady didn't let you go." Although Tiantian was fed by a nanny, Zhong Minxiu took care of her, so this child is very tired of her. Originally Zhong Minxiu planned to take Tiantian with her, but Qiu Shi did not agree.

There are many taboos for the elderly. I feel that Zhong Minxiu brought Tiantian there, and if Zaozao has a daughter after getting married, she will blame Zhong Minxiu in her heart. Speaking of it, the Qiu family is also for Zhong Minxiu's good, if the Qiu family knows that Zao Zao wants a daughter, she will not stop her.

Zhong Minxiu nodded.

The lotus whispered: "Grandma, do you really have to wait half a year before serving the second master?" The family is separated, and the order is naturally different from before.

"I think half a year is too short. My aunt told me not to give birth too frequently, and it is better to have a year apart. Otherwise, it will cause great harm to the body." Zhong Minxiu's aunt gave birth to Zhong Minxiu four months later and became pregnant again. After the child was born, he always fell ill, and he couldn't survive it for two months. And her body collapsed. After that, no more pregnancy.

He Hua said with some concern: "But the Duke said that you will not ask the uncle to be the eldest son until you give birth to the eldest son."

Zhong Minxiu paused, but quickly said, "Could it be that I don't even care about my own health for the sake of the child? Besides, if the child born is in poor health, both adults and children will suffer." Whether it's for yourself, Or for the child, she can't rush to get pregnant.

He Hua said: "I'm afraid that Madam will know about this and make trouble at that time." With Xiang's method, it is impossible to harm her grandma, but the uncle is not sure.

"Don't worry, the Duke will not tell her about this." Xiang Shi is not that capable, so he asked the father-in-law to tell her everything.

Zao Zao's dowry was carried from the palace to Wu's house that afternoon. The people who carried the dowry were all Zao Zao's soldiers.

Wu Jinyu lives in a relatively large courtyard, in addition to the three main rooms, there are also three east and west wing rooms. Wu Jinyu used to put all the flowers in the west wing room before, but now all the flowers have been moved away, and the room is freed up for the dowry.

Watching the dowry being carried into the house, Wu Jinyu said the same thing as Zao Zao: "Mother, you think it would be better to send the dowry directly to the princess mansion?" To save the trouble of carrying it around!

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "What do you know? I will show the dowry to my relatives and friends later." Although there are not many of them, the boxes must contain good things.

"What's there to show. What if they see evil thoughts?" He has heard a lot about seeing money.

Fang said with a smile: "Whoever dares to steal from the eldest princess must be impatient."

Thinking of the sturdy Zaozao, Wu Jinyu smiled and said: "That's right." If anyone dared to touch her things, Zaozao would break his hands and feet if he found out.

Not all dowries were opened, only ten dowries were opened symbolically. Among them, the two-foot-high red coral is particularly eye-catching. This red coral is not only priceless, but also a symbol of status. Only the royal relatives are eligible to use it. Like the Wu family, even if they got this kind of thing before, they could only hide it and watch it for themselves, not display it.

Aunt Ji looked at the red coral and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is really loved by the emperor and queen, even such a national treasure is given as a dowry."

Fang said with a smile: "In the queen's palace, there is a three-foot-high red coral."

The red coral that Han Jianming got before is still placed in Kunning Palace. And the one for Zaozao as a dowry was sent by the governor of Fujian.

Aunt Ji's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "It's my sister's blessing to be married to the royal family." The empress hated concubines and concubines' children, and because of her status, she might not be able to enter the palace in this life.

Originally Aunt Ji was grounded, but in order to show off, Fang specially asked her to be called to see Zao Zao's dowry.

"This is not only my blessing, but also the Wu family's blessing." Seeing Aunt Ji's distress, Fang was happy.

ps: Good night everyone.
