Chapter 186

Three days later, the Xiao family sent a marriage certificate.

Along with the marriage certificate, there were six Naji officials, more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry, cloth and livestock.

Qiao Nian had never seen such a posture before, and she was a little overwhelmed when she saw that her small house was quickly filled with people.

Fortunately, Nanny Su was quite at ease. While instructing the servants to put things into storage, she taught Qiao Nian how to perform the Naji ceremony.

By the time everything was over, it was already two hours later.

Qiao Nian sat on a chair beside her a little tiredly. Ningshuang hurriedly walked around behind Qiao Nian and rubbed her shoulders.

Looking at this scene, Ji Yue stepped forward and saluted Qiao Nian, "It's inconvenient for the young master to travel, thank you for your hard work, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Nian chuckled and shook his head.

Both Nanny Su and Ningshuang knew that Xiao He had helped Qiao Nian a lot this time, so they didn't take Xiao He's lack of presence seriously.

However, looking at the young men who were carrying the bride price not far away, Aunt Su couldn't help but stepped forward and asked Ji Yue in a low voice, "Did your Xiao family make a decision together today?"

Ji Yue nodded, "Yes."

After following Xiao He for a long time, he also developed his exquisite thinking, and immediately replied, "Don't worry, Grandma, the wedding ceremony of both families is of the same standard. My eldest young master specially told me not to neglect Miss Qiao. ”

It wasn't until she heard this that Grandma Su smiled with satisfaction, "I don't mean anything, I hope you won't be offended."

"No." After Ji Yue said this, he saw that the boys had finished carrying the betrothal gifts and stood up again. He took out two jade pendants from his arms and deliberately raised his voice, "This is the order of my eldest young master. It’s for Aunt Su and Miss Ningshuang. My eldest young master has difficulty moving, but Miss Qiao is lucky to be taken care of by Auntie Su and Miss Ningshuang.”

Aunt Su never imagined that Xiao He had already started to reward Qiao Nian before she came in.

There are some surprises on the face.

Although this jade pendant is not extremely valuable, it is of very good quality. It is obvious that Xiao He is obsessed with Qiao.

Aunt Su took it generously, turned to look at Qiao Nian, and couldn't help but sigh, "I thought this marriage was hasty and the young lady would be wronged in the future, but now it seems that with Young Master Xiao here, The lady can’t bear the grievance.”

Seeing this, Ningshuang reached out to take it and saluted Ji Yue, "Thank you, young master."

Qiao Nian was also quite grateful.

He must have known that if he didn't show up, she would be criticized, so he let Ji Yue do this.

At that moment, he smiled at Ji Yue and said, "Help me tell Brother Xiao that I'm interested."

Ji Yue bowed respectfully in return, and then led the people away in a grand manner.

As soon as they left, the small house became empty instantly, which made Qiao Nian let out a long sigh of relief, "It's finally over!"

This morning, she was exhausted!

Grandma Su couldn't help but laugh and said, "The wedding date is set in half a month, and I'm going to be very busy next! Where is this? What's more, the wedding day is the most tiring!"

Qiao Nian pouted upon hearing this and leaned against Ningshuang.

Looking at this scene, Ningshuang was happy from the bottom of her heart.

After leaving the Hou Mansion for so long, her young lady finally began to feel alive.

Aunt Su was happy to see Qiao Nian like this, but she didn't expect that not long after Ji Yue left, the guards outside came to announce, "Miss Qiao, there is a woman outside the house asking to see her."

Woman?

The smile on Nanny Su's face disappeared in an instant, and her eyebrows twisted slightly, "It's most likely Mrs. Lin. Miss, I'm afraid she's here for the old lady's dowry."

Qiao Nian's face also darkened, "Then let's meet him. If we avoid him, it will look like I have a guilty conscience."

After that, he asked the guards to let the person in.

When Mrs. Lin came in, Aunt Su was reading the gift list to Qiao Nian, as if she didn't know that Mrs. Lin had arrived. Aunt Su finished reading the gift list before looking back at Mrs. Lin, with a look of surprise on her face, " Ah, why are you here, madam?"

The acting is a bit clumsy.

Ningshuang couldn't help but smile, and Qiao Nian also twitched the corners of her mouth, but she still looked serious after all.

On the contrary, Mrs. Lin looked a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect Aunt Su to be here. I was still thinking about the Xiao family's decision today, and there was no one to help Nian Nian here, so I took a look. When I saw Aunt Su, I Don’t worry.”

Aunt Su also laughed and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. This imperial decree granting marriage has been issued for several days. How come there is no one here to help you?"

The implication is just a superficial attempt to ridicule Mrs. Lin!

After the imperial edict was issued for a few days, I didn't even think of sending someone to help. Today, the Xiao family has made a decision, but she is here?

Mrs. Lin was not a eloquent person, not to mention that Aunt Su was half an elder. Even if she heard the sarcasm in Aunt Su's tone, she didn't know how to respond.

Seeing Mrs. Lin's troubled face and hesitating to speak, Qiao Nian couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said, "Aunt Su, please take Ningshuang to the warehouse to take inventory!"

Nanny Su was shocked. She was still thinking of staying and driving away Mrs. Lin for Qiao Nian!

However, seeing Qiao Nian wink at her to reassure her, she had no choice but to agree and leave with Ningshuang.

As soon as Nanny Su walked away, Mrs. Lin's complexion recovered a lot.

Qiao Nian hid the sneer in her heart and said, "Mrs. Lin is here today for my grandmother's dowry, right?"

Mrs. Lin never imagined that Qiao Nian would be so direct. She was shocked and then blushed with embarrassment.

However, he still nodded.

"Mother knows that it was given to you by your grandmother, and you shouldn't have asked for it. But... you also know that the wedding date is set in half a month, and the Marquis's Mansion really can't get a decent dowry in half a month, Nian Nian..."

"It's good that Madam Lin knows that she shouldn't ask for it." Qiao Nian interrupted Madam Lin in a faint voice.

She lowered her eyes and fiddled with the teacup, slowly and leisurely, but her aura was particularly strong.

Madam Lin obviously expected Qiao Nian to refuse, and hesitantly said, "Mother doesn't ask for much, just, just a jade Buddha. You know, your grandmother has two jade Buddhas in total, one for you and Yuan'er, which is the most suitable."

The two jade Buddhas are one foot high and are carved from excellent Hetian jade. They are shiny and finely carved, and are priceless in the market!

Not to mention that the jade Buddha is valuable, if Qiao Nian is willing to take one with Lin Yuan, then others will definitely think that Qiao Nian's dowry is also bought by the Marquis' Mansion.

At most, they would say that the Marquis's Mansion is biased, but it would never hurt the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion!

This is the best solution that the Marquis' Mansion can think of now.

But who knew that as soon as the voice fell, Qiao Nian burst into laughter.

She finally put the teacup back on the table and looked up at Mrs. Lin, "But, it's already mine, why should I give one to Lin Yuan?"
