Chapter 200: The Trip to King's Mansion (2)

It was the first time in Yuxi's life that she came to King Jing's Mansion. I saw that the palace moved flowers and trees, diverted water to build bridges, and piled stones into mountains, reflecting the pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is magnificent.

After Yurong finished watching, she exclaimed: "It's so beautiful." It's more than ten times more beautiful than their Duke's mansion, and Third Sister is lucky to live in such a beautiful house.

Yu Xi looked at such a beautiful mansion without any smile on her face. This house was built two years ago. The treasury has the money to build such a beautiful mansion, but it has no money to provide disaster relief and military pay. It is really ironic.

Seeing Yuxi's appearance, Yurong raised a crisp voice: "Is Fourth Sister stunned by the beautiful scenery in this garden?"

Yu Xi came back to her senses, a very faint smile appeared on her face: "This courtyard is really beautiful." It was so beautiful that she couldn't stand it anymore.

Mrs. Ye frowned, glanced at Yurong, and said: "This is the palace of the king, you will follow me later, don't leave alone." This was said to the two of them on the surface, but in fact, everyone present I know, Ye's words are aimed at Yu Rong. This girl really doesn't care about the occasion, she is very worried that Yurong will tear down her own platform in front of the outside later.

Yurong paused when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay!"

The mother-in-law led three people to the main courtyard. Walking into the main courtyard, you can see the beautiful flowers in the main courtyard. Yuchen came out of the house and saw three people with smiles on his face: "I've been waiting for sister-in-law, fourth sister and fifth sister!"

Yuxi said: "Congratulations, third sister." Yuchen's child is not yet three months old, and the fetus is not stable. One is in pregnancy stabilization and the other is in confinement. The palace doesn't understand why the birthday banquet is held in the palace instead of going to the palace. It is said that the tenth prince is also deeply loved by the emperor, so this behavior is beyond anyone's thinking.

Yuchen rubbed his belly, said with a smile, "Thank you, Fourth Sister." He greeted the three of them and entered the room. The layout of the house is similar to that in Tingyun Pavilion.

After sitting down, Yuxi said: "Third Sister, there will definitely be many guests today. Are you physically able to handle entertaining guests?" In fact, no matter how many guests you see, there is no problem. The problem is that if there are malicious people among these, it will be bad. Ever since she heard Madam Quan talk about the palace, Yuxi has been very afraid of the palace.

Hearing these words, Yuchen was heartbroken, and said with a smile: "For the prince's birthday banquet this time, sister-in-law Jiu was invited to help greet the guests." This means that she will not come forward, and the concubine Ninth Prince will help to entertain the guests. Even if you want to meet guests, it is impossible to let in those who do not have enough weight.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. As soon as Yuchen finished speaking, Zhiqin came over and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuan is here."

Yuchen stood up, and Ye Shi also took Yuxi and Yurong out to meet Princess Xuan.

Seeing a group of people coming out, Yu Xiyu said, "I thought I was the first, but I didn't expect Mrs. Guo Gongfu to be earlier than me!" Seeing Yuxi and Yurong saluting to her, she smiled and said, "Everyone We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite." After speaking, he glanced at Yuxi.

Yuchen said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, let's go in!"

Yu Xi's complexion changed, if she read correctly just now, Yu Xiyu looked at her with pity. It is impossible for Yu Xiyu to look at her like this for no reason. What happened she didn't know.

Entering the room, Yuchen pointed at Yuxi and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Jiu doesn't know if she still remembers, back then you played a game of chess with my fourth sister."

Yu Xiyu smiled and said, "Why don't you remember? I still remember that you lost to me by six pieces? I still remember clearly the face of refusal to admit defeat at that time. Speaking of it, time flies so fast. "But don't hurry, she will be a mother now, and Yuchen will also be a mother.

Soon, some guests arrived, and Yu Xiyu went out to meet them with her maid.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Yu Xiyu's servant girl lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth girl of the Han family seems to be ignorant of that matter. Even Princess Jing doesn't seem to know?"

Yu Xiyu said without changing expression: "No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with us." Her task today is to entertain the guests well, and she will not take care of other things.

There were more and more guests, Ye Shi also took Yuxi and Yurong out to socialize. Yuxi didn't want to leave, so she said to Yuchen: "I won't go, stay and talk to Third Sister." For some reason, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense. Yuxi felt that it was safer to stay here with Yuchen.

Yuchen said with a smile: "After talking with me, there will be opportunities. You have been locked in the house for half a year, and it is rare to come out to relax. There are many flowers transplanted in the garden of the palace. You can go to have a look."

Now that we've talked about this, Yuxi has to go out if she doesn't want to. As soon as she walked out of the yard, Yuxi said to Zijin who was following her: "I will stay with me for a while." The sight of Yu Xiyu made her shudder when she thought of it, but now, all she could rely on was Corydalis.

Violet nodded her head.

The weather was fine, and the young girls went to play in the garden. As soon as I walked into the garden, I heard bursts of laughter. When I walked in, I saw that all of them were well-dressed, which added more splendor to the already beautiful garden.

Seeing Yuxi, Zhou Shiya walked over and asked, "Yuxi, why are you here too!" Isn't it surprising that someone who is about to get married in the middle of the month came to the birthday banquet!

Yuxi said with a smile: "My third sister said that I was shut up in the room all day for fear of getting bored, so she asked me to come and relax." The real reason is of course impossible to say.

Zhou Shiya said with a smile: "It turned out that the third cousin asked you to come here, no wonder!" After speaking, she took Yuxi to meet the girl who was talking to her just now, and introduced them to the two.

When Yuxi heard that the other party was Uncle Zhou Shiya's daughter, she smiled and called out: "Miss Yun." Seeing that the other party was only twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl was a little shy, and after greeting Yu Xi with a blushing face, she said: "You talk, I'll go find my elder sister." After speaking, she took the maid and left.

Yu Xi laughed: "Those who don't know think I'm scary!" As soon as she saw her, she ran away in fright, but she was scary.

Zhou Shiya didn't care, and said: "Don't worry, she's just like this. Because of her, my aunt's hair is almost graying because of it. Okay, let's not talk about her. Yuxi, I listen to my mother. Say, your dowry is ninety-six lifts, isn't it?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "Well, it's ninety-six. This matter has been negotiated with the Chen family, and the dowry list will be delivered in two days. What about you? How much dowry is your mother going to give you?" ?” This kind of thing is not a secret, it can be known after a little inquiry.

Zhou Shiya said distressedly: "The He family only sent twenty-four dowry gifts, and I must be worth forty-eight by then. Because of this, my mother regretted it so much that she almost didn't want to get married." For the fourteen dowry gifts, the Zhou family can only dowry twenty-four dowry gifts, and the total is forty-eight. According to Mrs. Tuesday, it was too shabby. However, if the woman's dowry exceeds the man's, it seems that she intends to overwhelm the man. It is easy to make the man's family feel uncomfortable.

Yu Xi was a little strange: "Why did the He family give such a small betrothal gift?" Twenty-four is indeed a bit small, at least thirty-six.

Zhou Shiya shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics. It seems that something happened to their hometown and all the money in the account was withdrawn, so they have no money to buy more gifts."

After hearing this, Yuxi said: "Since this is the case, you don't need to care too much. In fact, the amount of dowry is not important, what is important is what you marry." Got benefits. If there are many dowries, but they are all worthless things, then it will be slick. This is actually a matter of face and face. Of course, Yuxi's dowry has both face and liking.

The Qiu family is not stingy, and this time gave Yuxi two thousand acres of fertile land from her dowry. Even Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Lu didn't send any gold or silver jewelry, they each gave a shop to Yu Xi as a make-up. In addition, there is the property purchased by the public and Yuxi's original property. It can be said that Yuxi's dowry is not inferior to that of Mrs. Taining Hou Shizi.

Zhou Shiya nodded and said, "My father said the same thing. It's my mother, who feels uncomfortable."

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's understandable, your mother loves you and doesn't want you to be wronged." Mrs. Zhou has a daughter like Zhou Shiya, so she naturally wants to marry her off in a glorious manner. Now that I can't fulfill this wish due to external reasons, I must be very aggrieved.

Just as he was saying this, he saw Yurong walking over with Jiang Qi. Yu Rong smiled and called: "Fourth Sister, Cousin Shi Ya, what are you talking about? I seem to have heard the word dowry just now?" Yu Rong knew about Yu Xi's ninety-six dowry. It's just that she doesn't quite know what the dowry is.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's about the dowry. Fifth sister, why are you here?" She didn't even look at Jiang Qi when she spoke.

Yurong said: "Sister Qi said that I had a misunderstanding with Fourth Sister before, so I came here to apologize to you. Fourth Sister, Sister Qi has already told me about the matter. It's just a wrong sentence, please ask Fourth Sister to give you a lot of help." , don't worry about it."

Yuxi's face was a little strange. If Yurong knew that it was useless for her to please Jiang Qi so much, she wondered if she would go to such lengths to marry him!

Although Zhou Shiya didn't know what was going on, she didn't like Yu Rong's tone very much, it seemed that Yu Xi was making a fuss out of a molehill. Zhou Shiya is very clear about Yuxi's temper. It's definitely not a trivial matter that can really annoy Yu Xi. What's more, Zhou Shiya also knew that Jiang Qi liked Chen Ran. So, it's definitely not that simple. Zhou Shiya said with a half-smile at the moment: "Cousin Yurong has not yet married into the Jiang family, she has already turned to the Jiang family."

Yurong's face flushed, and she blushed transparently.

Jiang Qi said generously: "Sister Yuxi, I really didn't mean what happened last time, please don't take it to heart."

Yuxi said lightly: "I forgot about that a long time ago." These words are contradictory, since they have forgotten, how can they know what they are talking about!

Jiang Qi said with a smile: "Sister Yuxi just doesn't take it to heart."

When Zhou Shiya heard this, she couldn't stop tsk-tsk in her heart, she is really thick-skinned! People didn't say that they didn't care about it at all. But Jiang Qi was able to put this name on Yu Xi's body anyway. Speaking of it, this is also a skill.

Yu Xi didn't answer these words, and still had a calm expression on her face: "I just hope that Miss Jiang won't say the wrong thing to everyone in the future."

The smile on Jiang Qi's face remained unchanged, and she said, "Sister Yuxi, don't worry, she won't do it again." It's enough to make this kind of mistake once, how could she allow herself to make it a second time. (to be continued)
