Chapter 123: His Dowry
This is Duan Yi's promise, not Emperor Zhengde's promise, but at this time, even Emperor Zhengde's promise is just for show, just like his promise to Princess Zhenjiang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo said that it was Duan Chen, and even Lu Zhi was a little skeptical that Duan Yi's promise would be fulfilled in the end, after all, it was Emperor Zhengde who sat on the throne, not him.
But Duan Chen still responded, he lowered his eyes, raised his head after a moment of silence, looked at Duan Yi and smiled faintly: "Okay, it's limited to three years." ”
After saying that, he bowed his head again: "The minister Duan Chen has the order." ”
After receiving the order, Duan Chen and Lu Zhi got up and were about to turn around and sit down, but Duan Yi on the side stretched out his hand to pour himself a full wine, and then raised his wine glass and looked at the two: "This palace wishes my cousin success in advance, and ...... Congratulations to both of you. ”
After speaking, he raised his head and drank his glass, put down the wine cup again, glanced at Lu Zhi deeply, and strode away with a flick of his robe.
Lu Zhi and Duan Chen were the only ones left, standing in the room.
Hearing the surprised voice of Xiaofuzi outside, as well as the sound of hurried footsteps to leave, Lu Zhi's heart somehow became a little heavy.
The footsteps gradually faded away, until they disappeared, Duan Chen turned around and smiled at Lu Zhi: "Sit down, I'll take you to a place after eating." ”
Lu Zhi came back to her senses when she heard this, and hurriedly smiled at him: "Well, this table full of dishes is really a waste." ”
After that, he called Qiu'er and the others in, sat next to Duan Chen, and began to eat.
Quanjude is most famous for roast duck, the material is high-quality meat duck, fruit charcoal fire, ruddy color, fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Thinly sliced, topped with shredded green onions, smeared with some sweet noodle sauce, rolled into small rolls with lotus leaf cakes, and put them in your mouth.
Under Duan Chen's recommendation, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh after tasting a roll: "With this dish alone, Quanjude can survive for a hundred years." ”
Duan Chen smiled at her and looked at her in amazement, as if he had no intention of saying, "Why don't you take this Quanjude as a dowry." ”
Lu Zhi was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand: "This ...... It's too expensive for me to want. ”
As if he already knew that she would refuse, Duan Chen just smiled faintly when he heard this: "It's okay, since this dowry is not good, let's go and see something else." ”
Looking at his appearance, obviously not joking, Lu Zhi suddenly realized, it turned out that he had calculated early in the morning that her marriage with him would inevitably be decided today, so he called himself out.
If she had taken a fancy to some shop today, he would have bought it as a dowry for himself, and if he hadn't seen it, he would have taken her to look elsewhere.
Perhaps, Lian Duan Yi's appearance, and even Duan Yi will inform her about her marriage with him, he guessed it all.
Lu Zhi didn't know what it was like, she looked at him and said, "Do you guess that the prince will come today?"
Duan Chen turned his eyes to look at her, and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Today, the mother concubine entered the palace to talk about your and my marriage, according to that person's temper, even if the mother concubine has a twenty-year commitment, he will not fulfill me so easily." ”
Lu Zhi listened to him call Emperor Zhengde, and suddenly thought of herself, after she knew what her father did back then and knew his true face, she also called that person.
She could relate to his feelings when he said this, because in some ways she resembled him.
Therefore, the complexity in her heart faded a little, and was replaced by a touch of distress: "You guessed that he would inevitably put forward conditions, so the prince will inevitably come to you today." ”
Duan Chen nodded: "It's just that I don't know when he will come, if he came earlier, I can justifiably wait for you to take a look at the dowry I prepared, if he only comes at night, I can only give up and take you another day." ”
Lu Zhi knew that he was so sure that he would look at what he had prepared, and he must have been completely sure, but she still deliberately said, "What if I don't look down on it?"
"You'll see. Duan Chen smiled at her: "I started preparing these dowry gifts three years ago, so you will definitely take a look." ”
Lu Zhi didn't answer his words, but asked: "Since ancient times, the dowry was sent to the woman's home on the day of the next engagement, to thank the woman's parents for so many years of nurturing grace, why did the dowry become so casual when it came to you?"
Duan Chen didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile.
But after a while, Lu Zhi was defeated: "Okay, your arrangement is very satisfactory to me, but on the day of the appointment, I still have to gather some things, so as not to be true." ”
Duan Chen chuckled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I've made arrangements." ”
Yes, he acted carefully and steadily, and he didn't need her to do that.
Lu Zhi thought that he would give her a Zhuangzi or some shops at most, because he understood her, and if the things he gave were too valuable, she would definitely not accept them.
But she never thought that he would give her a street!
It's just that this street is very quiet, only one side is a shop, and on the other side is a large lake, and the spring breeze caresses and ripples.
Looking at this quiet street, Lu Zhi was already dumbfounded, and Duan Chen on the side saw her like this, and said with a smile: "This lake is called Zhonghai, which is connected to the West and South China Seas, and is one of the three major lakes in the capital. ”
He raised his arm and pointed to the other side of the lake: "There are some workshops there, and there are often children from rich families who find singers and dancers to visit the lake to enjoy, and those workshops have cruise ships, which are very gorgeous." ”
After that, he lowered his arm and said to her: "Maybe because the other side is too noisy, business here has been a little bleak, many shops have opened and closed, changed owners and opened again, but they have not lasted long. Three years ago, I was wandering around with nothing to do before I set out on the expedition, and I happened to be here. At that time, I thought, this street has such a beautiful view, if you can make it flourish. ”
Lu Zhi didn't answer, she just walked along the street, carefully looked at each shop, and even reached out to touch the doorposts of those shops.
Duan Chen walked with her and didn't bother.
Walking to the end of this street, Lu Zhi stopped and raised her eyes to look at Duan Chen: "What is the name of this street?"
Duan Chen looked at her and said softly: "This street is on the west side of Zhonghai, as it is called Zhongxi Street, if you have a good name, you can also give another one." ”
Lu Zhi nodded, was silent for a moment, raised his eyes to look at him, and said: "I like the gift you gave very much, but the dowry on a street is too expensive, I can't take such a lot of dowry back to you, if you want, I want to make another contract with you, the shop on this street, whether it is the deed or the future income, thirty percent of the money will belong to you." ”
Duan Chen looked at her for a long time: "You and I will eventually become husband and wife, why should we divide it so clearly, don't say it's this street, after you and I get married, all the properties under my name will be handed over to you to take care of, why don't you start from this street, let me see your ability." ”
