Chapter 6: The Storm Disperses (6)

"Can't you afford it?" The queen's pupils shrank, but her face was silent, and she only asked as if surprised, "How can my sister say that she can't afford it?" ”

Qu Ning raised her head and met Lu Qingyan's eyes, and in her eyes, there was a calm, not bluffing: "Sister-in-law, don't lie to me." ”

Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, she lowered her head, and sighed halfway: Can't you hide it?

Qu Ning pointed to a few precious ornaments in the list, and sighed softly to break the veil: "Sister-in-law, these things were either given to you by your brother in the early years, or they were the love things you brought from home. Sister-in-law, although you shelved those cherished things out of prudence and love, and did not show them in front of me a few times, but there are a few things that I personally picked with my brother, how can I not remember? "In the early years, when the pressure from the outside world was not so great, the emperor also had the mood of wind and snow, and he also told her with joy on his face, he gave the queen what treasures and treasures one by one.

The emperor just casually mentioned it to her when she was a child, and she didn't remember it, but she hadn't forgotten it.

Qu Ning shook his head: "A gentleman doesn't take advantage of people, I really can't afford these things." ”

The queen's hand shook slightly, frowned, but forced a smile and persuaded her softly: "My sister is serious." Your brother and I are also considered a young couple, and they all say that young couples are old companions, and now I am not young, these things outside the body are more suitable for you little girls, but for me they are only of the use of shelving. Although the others are exquisite, they may be contrary to the system or taboo, but these things are carefully selected, and they can be used by the younger sister to line you again, and the younger sister will take it, if you can get the favor of the young handsome, it will be regarded as making the best use of it. ”

Qu Ning smiled slightly when she heard this, and shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear this. ”

The queen was stunned.

"Young Marshal Tang is willing to come out for me to talk about the dowry this time, although I don't know why he changed his mind and suddenly prepared to marry me, but if I really brought rare treasures to marry into his mansion...... I'm afraid it's really the result of the backyard of old death. "The four words of the old dead backyard may be a little heavier, but Tang will definitely not like it, but it is inevitable.

A man like Tang Zhong, who is full of disgust for the old dynasty, is afraid that he will not be too happy to see his wife doing nostalgia all day long. So these things, even if she can really take them away, they are still the result of only Mingzhu being dusty. Rather than that, it would be better to let these stay with the queen in case of emergency.

Qu Ning sighed lightly: "Sister-in-law, in fact, in the final analysis, whether I will live happily in the future depends only on how the young marshal treats me." Although as a princess, I don't have to make a show to please a man, but I don't have to commit his taboos and annoy him. What's more, these ......" Qu Ning's fingers paused slightly on the other things on the list, and the smile on the corner of his lips was a little more sarcastic, "It's the Kong family's thing, right?" Then I can't even ask for it. ”

She really couldn't imagine that after her decisive words, Kong Jinghao could still be cheeky, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, wanting to mix sand in her dowry!

I really can't see her living a good life after marriage!

Those few things can only be passed down from generation to generation by the family of Shandong Confucian saints!

Although she didn't know how Kong Jinghao persuaded his family or secretly abducted these things into her dowry, she only knew that as long as Tang Zhong was still a flesh-and-blood man, and once he found out that his wife's dowry could have other men's tokens, he would definitely doubt her past, and if he was narrow-minded, he was afraid that it would be ...... Make somebody's blood boil. After all, between them, it is a blind marriage and a dumb marriage, and it is a blind marriage and a dumb marriage that he is unwilling to do, and the foundation of his feelings is too thin to withstand the slightest provocation.

Is this the time bomb that Kong Jinghao wants to plant?

The queen didn't expect her to see through it at a glance, and she "chuckled" in her heart, and immediately said urgently: "Third sister, don't be angry, in fact, these things are priceless, and Mr. Kong is also very kind, thinking of adding to his sister." What's more, the thief chief stayed abroad when he was young, and he didn't know anything about the true quintessence of our country, and he might not be able to recognize it......"

Qu Ning only resolutely pushed the list back: "Sister-in-law, I can't ask for these things." Her eyes looked at the woman in front of her with deep eyes, "If my sister-in-law thinks about our friendship for so many years, and wants to let my sister go out with peace of mind, I beg you, let me think a little about it." ”

She said she was going to kneel as soon as her knees went limpβ€”for the first time in her life.

The queen hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her: "Sister, don't be like this, you have something to say." ”

"I only beg you, I don't want any other dowry, you just let me pick up some worthless antiquities and books and go out, it's enough." There was pleading in her eyes.

The queen and her are nearly ten years apart, and they almost grew up watching Qu Ning grow up with their own eyes.

She and the emperor have no children, and they have always loved Qu Ning very much, and this time to see her child marry such a legendary murderous and rude man is already like cutting meat. Now seeing that there were tears in her eyes, her heart softened, so she nodded, and thought to herself: If Bixia has any blame, I will bear it all. The third sister's life is already bitter enough, as a sister-in-law, she can't do anything outside, and if you can help anything else, you should help her.

Seeing that the queen agreed, Qu Ning wiped her eyelids, and a touch of joy bloomed on her face: "Sister-in-law agreed?" ”

The queen nodded heavily and rubbed her face lovingly: "Ning'er, that's it...... When it comes time to dry the dowry after entry, I really wronged you. ”

If she really took the dowry on the previous list, she would have been wronged. After getting married, what really determines her fate is not the thickness of the dowry, but how much she can weigh in that man's heart.

The seemingly solid dowry list may ruin her marital happiness, which is more important, no matter which is more important.

Qu Ning smiled slightly, and stood up: "Sister-in-law, xiexie." "Sincerely, Xiexie.

There are many books and antiquities in the palace, after all, they have been treasured in the palace and dedicated to the emperor.

But those who are valuable among them are registered, and there are numbers.

For example, antiques such as the authentic works of the two kings, which can be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars in later generations, are also priceless treasures in this era.

These things, of course, are impossible to take away.

The members of the National Assembly are still staring, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are still watching, she is salivating, her eyes are bulging, and it is impossible to hide so many eyes if she wants to go away.

Fortunately, Qu Ning didn't want that.

She was interested in gadgets that were not very valuable nowβ€”such as the blue and white porcelain of the former dynasty, which was not extinct in this era, the jade and amber that were not valued in this era, and the out-of-print stamps and silver dollars.

History has its inertia, and in the time and space that Qu Ning once experienced, those things were not valued at the time, but after just a few years, they became valuable for various reasons.

Of course, with her past identity and future identity, Qu Ning believes that if she really wants to, she should also be able to lead the trend of using blue and white flowers.

And bringing these seemingly inconspicuous dowries out of the house, first, can paralyze outsiders, second, save a large amount of expenditure for the queen's sister-in-law, create a sensible image, and make good friends with others, and third, I get benefits again. Killing three birds with one stone, it is definitely a profit or a loss.

After careful discussion with the queen, with the acquiescence of the emperor, Qu Ning also picked out the most haode part of the collection from the treasury of the palace - of course, at this time, even the most haode is not worth much.

Tang Dashuai soon came to give the dowry.

On the day of the wedding, the wedding is going to be a new style - there will be a sedan chair wedding dress, but there will be no chapel. But before the wedding, perhaps considering the woman's status and face, the Tang family's dowry was extremely generous, and it was obviously very sincere.

Compared with the "shabby" and "meager" dowry list, the emperor almost felt that the position of the list in his sleeve was so hot that he felt blushing and heartbeat, and he almost couldn't take it out.

But to his surprise, when he settled down and handed the list to Young Marshal Tang, who had come to hire him in person and had always had a cold face and barely said a word, the man in military uniform took a closer look, but it seemed that he had vaguely bent the corners of his lips.

When the emperor looked at him in surprise, he could no longer find the person in front of him with a smile on his face. Is it really wrong? Laugh? How could this bitter gourd face possibly laugh? The emperor thought indignantly in his heart: If you still use this face for your next appointment, you are not afraid of crying in the room every day in the future?

Of course, Tang Zhong didn't know anything about his thoughts, he commanded the big soldiers of the Tang family to put down the dowry that was almost piled up in the entire side hall, looked at the treasures all over the ground, raised his hand to give a military salute to the emperor, and nodded almost casually: "Five days later, I will personally come to pick her up." ”

...... "This is your attitude towards your brother-in-law?" This is your attitude towards the emperor? She? This is what you call Her Royal Highness?

It's too much of a deception! It's simply no royal courtesy!

What's the use of a generous dowry? Do princesses and I care about your money? What I want is the submission of your Tang family, and what I want is the support of your Tang Shaoshuai!

The Emperor shouted angrily in his heart, and the hand holding the chair clattered. From the moment Tang finally entered the door, he always stood behind the emperor without moving, and looked at the young emperor with frost on his face, and he also looked unkind, but Kong Jinghao, who deliberately restrained his hostility, gently patted the little emperor's shoulder, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Bixia, don't be haste, be patient." ”

The emperor turned around and glanced at him, and then he let out a long sigh, his face gradually relaxed, and his voice seemed to be inaudible: "If there is no way, Jing Hao, you should be my third brother-in-law." ”

Kong Jinghao's body was shocked.

He was silent for a while, and his reply seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "Even if the pearl is covered with dust, it is still a treasure, and it is still a pearl." Minister, who thinks he is a person with discerning eyes, minister, doesn't mind. ”

The emperor looked at him in surprise, and Zuihou seemed to have finally confirmed his sincerity, so he smiled slightly, and said softly intentionally or unintentionally: "If there is really that day, then I will be relieved." ”
