148 dowry

Chu Qianchen raised his lips and smiled, and after thinking about it for a while, he probably understood Su Mubai's intentions.

It was the same in his previous life, when the prince was alive, Su Mubai was only loyal to the prince, and everything he did was based on the interests of the prince.

The prince asked Su Mubai to try to delay the marriage, and Su Mubai didn't necessarily can't do it. The problem is that the emperor is now eyeing the Chenwang Mansion, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, if at this time, the Chenwang Mansion comes forward again to postpone the marriage date, and the marriage is delayed again and again, which may make the emperor suspicious.

Su Mubai was unwilling to take such a risk, he chose the safest way for the prince.

He really hasn't changed at all.

Chu Qianchen's eyes were even more smiling, and a kind of old man's sigh emerged in his heart.

If it were her, she would have done the same.

No one or anything is more important than the king.

So, even if there is a pit in front of her, she will still jump down.

Chu Qianchen looked at Su Mubai with clear eyes, and said calmly: "Then the big wedding will be as scheduled." ”

The safety of the prince is the most important. Isn't it just getting married? She married into the Chenwang Mansion, so she could justifiably treat the prince, and she didn't have to work so hard to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.

Besides, the prince's body can't be raised in just three or five days, even if the remnant blade is taken out, it will have to be recuperated for a while.

Outside the window, a warm breeze blows slowly, blowing away the dark clouds in the sky.

The sky became clear again, blue as the sea, and the sun poured down from the sky.

Su Mubai stood at the window, under the backlight, his handsome face looked blurred, and there was a bit more unfathomable feeling in his expression.

He stared fixedly at the determined girl a few steps away, and a strange feeling gradually rose in his heart.

A feeling that you feel as if you are being seen through.

Was it his delusion, or was it ......

Interesting.

Su Mubai's eyes flashed faintly, and then said, "Second Miss Chu, have you figured it out?" This is your life's event, and you have done enough for the Chenwang Mansion...... In any case, I will also guard the foundation of the Chenwang Mansion for the prince. ”

Chu Qianchen met his eyes and confirmed.

Sure enough, it's a familiar taste.

Yo, Su Mubai is playing to retreat as advance, when he cheats people, he often has to trick the other party to recall it afterwards, and he has nothing to say.

Chu Qianchen also knows that the prince is not no one in the capital, and he has hidden a lot of hole cards, but if it is used at this time, it is not worth it.

Moreover, if the Chenwang Mansion is against the emperor now, it will inevitably set off a stormy wave in the capital, so how can the prince treat his illness with peace of mind next? !

"I've figured it out." Chu Qianchen said affirmatively, his tone was not hurried, but there was no question, "When the prince comes back, I will discuss other things." ”

Su Mubai smiled slightly and stood with his hands in his hands.

He was also sure.

This second girl of Chu is really a smart person, and she really guessed his mind nine times out of ten.

It's just that she chose to be used by them, and the reason is obvious.

It seems that they should get along well with this princess in the future.

Su Mubai waved his hand at Chu Qianchen gently, "Thanks to the girl this time, the whole palace of King Chen is grateful." ”

He was in a very happy mood, and felt that he had succeeded in turning back a willing miracle doctor, and he did a very good job. When she marries in a few days, she will be a member of King Chen's Mansion.

Xue Fengyan, who was on the tree outside, looked at Su Mubai's expression, even if he didn't ask, he knew that he and Chu Qianchen should have finished talking, and he was relieved on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had a feeling that it was really like this.

He also vaguely guessed that this matter was expected to come true, not only because Su Mubai was good at fooling people, but also because of Chu Qianchen's attitude.

Su Mubai and Chu Qianchen had a surprisingly good agreement on this marriage, from the very beginning.

Everything is in the interests of the prince.

Xue Fengyan silently withdrew his gaze and leaned lazily against the rough trunk of the tree behind him.

He has been following Chu Qianchen for a few months, and he has a little understanding of her: although this little girl is young, she has a scale in her heart, Su Mubai is fooling her, does she really not know?

Ahem, anyway, in terms of results, it's good.

Xue Fengyan closed his eyes and seized the opportunity to take a nap first.

In the hall, Chu Qianchen was still sitting on the rosewood circle chair, her posture was elegant, and she was calm and self-contained from beginning to end.

She stroked her sleeve and asked, "Commander Su wants to bring a letter to the prince?" ”

Anyway, the matter has come to this, and the prince doesn't have to rush back to Beijing.

Su Mubai is in a good mood now, so when he looks at people, his eyes are gentler and his smile is more kind, so he responds without saying a word: "Second Miss Chu, don't worry, everything else will be left to us." ”

The most troublesome thing is solved, then, everything else is secondary.

Chu Qianchen did not doubt this.

Su Mubai is a person, he is very annoying as an enemy, but he is very reliable as an ally, he takes ten steps to think, plans step by step, and thinks carefully, and the prince leaves him in the capital to preside over the overall situation, which is also for this.

As long as he is there, he can guard King Chen's mansion.

The business was over, but Chu Qianchen was not in a hurry to leave, she had to stay in the Chenwang Mansion for an hour.

Su Mubai played a game of chess with Chu Qianchen very hospitable, and when the chess meets the opponent, an hour is not enough to distinguish the winner or loser.

Chu Qianchen saw that the hour was almost up, and after landing a sunspot on the chessboard, he said goodbye without a fight.

She waved her sleeves, not having the slightest nostalgia for this unfinished chess game.

Only Su Mubai was left alone to watch the chess game silently, thinking about everything.

"Su Mubai, will the prince be angry when he comes back?" Shi Chenglin, the head of the palace, came from the west next door, brushed his beard, and there was a little guilt written on his face, always feeling that they had cheated Chu Qianchen.

It's too late to get angry. Su Mu said in his heart, and only sighed on his face: "This time, I'm just afraid that I will go against the will of the prince." ”

Yun Zhan followed Cheng Linhua and also came to the main hall, his expression was complicated and a little absent-minded.

Su Mubai still left half of his mind on the chess game, and casually put a white piece on the chessboard.

Cheng Linhua followed Su Mubai's movements to look at the chessboard, the chessboard was dotted with black and white chess pieces, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Second Miss Chu's chess skills are extraordinary." ”

It's hard to say who will win and who will lose this game.

But......

Cheng Linhua looked Su Mubai up and down with strange eyes, "Haven't you always had no desire to win?" "Why did he seem to be a little abnormal today, as if he was very concerned about the halfway game he had played.

Su Mubai smiled faintly, "I just think Second Miss Chu's chess style is very interesting." ”

Cheng Linhua was accustomed to Su Mubai's constant divine Taoism, and he didn't ask any more questions, it should be said that his thoughts had been revolved to the most important thing now.

No matter what the process is, judging by the result, this marriage has already been decided.

Although the marriage cannot be done in a big way because of the absence of the prince, what should be done still has to be done.

After the Ministry of Internal Affairs was hired before, he had already asked people to paint the new house, but now that I think about it, it is still too sloppy, and I have to repair the entire main courtyard.

Recently, I can't invite craftsmen into the house, so I have to do it myself.

The more Cheng Linhua thought about it, the more he felt that there were really a lot of things.

Chenwangfu was given by the first emperor when he was there, and the prince was fighting all the year round, and even the first emperor died, and he was not able to return to Beijing to mourn.

Over the years, there has been no hostess in the palace, and the backyard is basically deserted, although it is cleaned very clean, but it is too quiet, there are not even maids and mothers-in-law in the palace, and I don't know if the princess can bring more people in the future......

Cheng Linhua thought wildly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were many things, so he didn't sit down, and left.

When he went out, he subconsciously glanced at a big tree in the courtyard, which was already empty and empty.

Xue Fengyan had already quietly left the palace with Chu Qianchen, coming without a trace, leaving without a trace.

He felt bitter in his heart, and he was only halfway asleep during his nap, so he had to barely hold up his eyelids and leave.

Hey, fortunately, Second Miss Chu is about to pass through the door, which means that his mission will be over soon.

Thinking about it, Xue Fengyan suddenly felt that there was hope for the future.

After he followed Chu Qianchen out of the palace, he went to Jishitang.

This is a trip that has been arranged a long time ago, and there are already a few patients waiting for Chu Qianchen on the Jishitang side.

Chu Qianchen stayed in Jishitang for an hour and a half before leaving through the back door and taking the path back to the Hou Mansion.

The day passed quickly, and when she stepped into the gate of Wanyan Courtyard, it was already dusk.

Amber was busy, and for a while he ordered the little maids to prepare chilled sherbet and mung bean soup for Chu Qianchen to relieve the heat, for a while he asked someone to prepare water for bathing, and for a while he asked someone to add another ice basin to the house.

Anyway, there is a lot of ice in Wanyan Courtyard now, except for the Hou Mansion, the Internal Affairs Office also sent an ice to honor Princess Chen.

On this hot day, ice is a good thing, of course Chu Qianchen accepted it, and even the maids in Wanyan Courtyard were also stained, and there was a chilled mung bean soup to drink every day.

After the emperor's marriage decree was issued, Wanyan Courtyard was also affected by the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion, and it was once gloomy and miserable.

But because Chu Qianchen was calm, the days passed, and he also infected the people in the courtyard.

Not to mention anything else, the benefits that this marriage brought to Wanyan Yuan are always obvious, and the monthly money has doubled for these two months.

The maids moved neatly, and soon, the chilled sherbet and mung bean soup were delivered to Chu Qianchen, and then someone came and said, "Girl, the second lady and the third girl are here." ”

"Nope." Chu Qianchen put down the spoon and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, his voice was soft and soft, revealing a little carelessness.

"Amber, you go and tell the second lady, it's not good for the third sister to like writing drama books so much, let her discipline and discipline her well, don't let outsiders see the Chu family's jokes in the future!"

"Amber, you say it yourself."

"Girl, don't worry." Amber bent her knees to accept the order, understood what Chu Qianchen meant, and exchanged a tacit look with her.

The third girl is too unsatisfied, so she has to push her.

The little maid who came to talk next to her lowered her eyes silently, and always felt that Sister Amber had become more and more ...... since she was reused by the girl Ahem, I can do it.

Amber withdrew from the second room with the little maid, and the little maid carefully lowered the Xiangfei curtain to prevent it from making a sound.

Liu and Chu Qianling were waiting under the porch outside the hall.

Although it was dusk, the weather was still a little hot, and some beads of sweat oozed from Liu's forehead, and his expression was faintly impatient and impatient.

If this were the past, the Liu family would have been angry a long time ago.

As an elder, she came to the courtyard of the younger generation to let her wait here like a subordinate, it is simply unreasonable!

Facing Liu's angry gaze, Amber never panicked, walked out of the hall without hurrying, and blessed Liu casually: "Second lady, third girl." ”

She smiled and repeated what Chu Qianchen had said, and Liu and Chu Qianling seemed to have been slapped in the face, and their faces became even more ugly.

Amber didn't care at all, and sighed deliberately, "Third girl, there are some things that slaves and maids don't know whether to say or not." ”

She said so in the scene, but in fact, she didn't wait for Chu Qianling to react, so she said to herself: "Like us who are slaves and maids, we work for our masters on weekdays, and we are all doing our best, and we can't wait to do our best, for fear that the errand will not be good enough, for fear that the master will think that the slave and maid are not capable enough, and for fear that the master will think that the slave and maid are fooling......"

Amber's words put aside what Chu Qianling did, it was really sincere, and I could hear that the maids in Wanyan Courtyard next to him and the subordinates brought by the Liu family were all related.

Yes, it's not easy for them to be human slaves!

However, when these words were heard in Chu Qianling's ears, they were simply prickly, and every sentence meant something.

This is so bold, she is comparing herself to a slave, saying that she is fooling people!

Chu Qianling was ashamed, annoyed and hateful, a melon seed face was red and white, white and purple, purple and blue, and the color was changing wonderfully.

Amber said again: "My girl is tired, the second lady and the third girl are fine, please go back." ”

Amber finished speaking, turned and left.

"!"

Liu angrily scolded Amber's back, wanting to break in, but barely stopped.

"Mother......" Chu Qianling was anxious.

That beautiful little face was full of anxiety and panic, she had obviously cried, and her eyes were still a little swollen and red.

The corners of her slightly moist eyes and white cherry lips showed a bit of pity and pity.

She's really in a hurry.

The Ten Perfect Paste that Chu Qianchen gave her in the morning can only be used for three or five days at most, and when Chu Qianchen gets married, just as the palace is as deep as the sea, she may not be so easy to enter the door of the palace, and it will be even more difficult for her to get the Ten Perfect Cream.

Liu: "......"

Whether it is Chu Qianling or the Liu family, in fact, they did not pin all their hopes on Chu Qianchen, they went to Jishitang more than once to buy the perfect ointment, and even found a mother-in-law and a little maid who pretended to buy it from outsiders, but they still couldn't buy it.

The guy from Jishitang said that the ten perfect ointment was made by the divine doctor himself, and there was a very precious medicinal material, which was scarce, so it was not sold, and the man also enthusiastically recommended what nine continuation ointment to them, saying that the treatment of trauma has a miraculous effect, and the ten perfect ointment is just good at removing scars.

Yes, the Ten Perfection Cream is only good at removing scars compared to the Nine Continuation Cream.

For those ordinary people, it is not as real as the Nine Continuation Cream, so why spend so much money to buy any Ten Perfection Cream.

However, for Chu Qianling, what she wants is only a perfect ointment that can remove scars.

Now, in addition to the divine doctor who came and went without a trace in Jishitang, only Chu Qianchen still had the perfect ointment in his hands.

Liu closed his eyes and pressed down the surging dark tide in his belly, knocking out his teeth and swallowing blood.

She said stiffly: "Sister Ling, let's go back first." ”

The group came in a hurry, with great momentum, but they left without a smile.

At this time, Amber happened to walk outside the curtain of Concubine Xiang, she stopped, glanced at Liu, Chu Qianling and his party, and opened the curtain and entered the second room.

The second room with an extra ice basin is far more comfortable than the hall, the temperature is like spring, neither cold nor hot, and the air is filled with a faint scent of smoke, just right.

The little black cat also came at some point, curled up into a fluffy black ball beside Chu Qianchen, squinting, only the black tail with the first bit of white was restlessly jumping next to it.

"Girl, the second lady and the third girl are gone." Amber Road.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said nothing.

She just ate a bowl of mung bean soup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then took a sip of tea to remove the aftertaste in her mouth, and her movements and demeanor were still so calm.

Just looking at her like this, Amber's slightly impetuous heart settled again.

Whether it's King Chen's Mansion, the second lady or the third girl, it's actually nothing, there are girls.

Amber thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Girl, do you want the slave maid to bring the roster of the people in the courtyard?" ”

What she thought was that since the marriage between the girl and King Chen was going to be completed, she should always pick a candidate to marry.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen put down the teacup and responded casually, as if he hadn't thought of this problem until now, and touched the little black cat with his hand.

The little black cat raised her head and meowed.

In this scene, there is a sense of banter of "bring this meow".

Chu Qianchen's slender white fingers tapped on the top of its head, and whispered, "Don't worry, I can't forget you." ”

Amber: "......"

Amber looked at this person and a cat and blinked slowly, and then blinked, always feeling that there was something wrong with Chu Qianchen's reaction.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion in her heart, and suddenly her heart brightened and understood.

Amber stared at Chu Qianchen with a strange look.

My own girl's heart is really big, the dowry is down, the wedding date is set, she doesn't even pay attention to it, until now she thinks that this marriage will be successful?

Thinking of Chu Qianchen's calmness during this time, Amber felt that everything had been explained.

No wonder her own girl has never been a female celebrity for the big wedding, no wonder she has no shyness to get married, no wonder she has never let herself pack the cage......

Thousands of thoughts whizzed through the amber sea like a galloping horse.

Amber felt that she could not say a word, and then a sense of urgency hung over her.

The wedding date is approaching, I am afraid there are a lot of things to prepare, and she has no experience, so it is best to ask Mama Chen for advice, what else needs to be paid attention to.

Amber only longs to grow three heads and six arms, and is busy spinning like a spinning top every day.

In contrast, Chu Qianchen still lives her life as usual, even if she is about to get married, she looks no different from before, there is no shyness, no anxiety, the only difference is that she began to pack up the medicinal herbs.

There was also a sense of urgency that the big wedding was about to be held in Wanyan Courtyard, and within three days, Chu Qianchen packed up the medicinal materials, and also decided who he would bring to marry, and specially gave the roster to the Shen family.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding, that is, the day of the dowry.

Chu Qianchen's dowry was extremely rich, except for the concubine given by the Hou Mansion, the Shen family also gave her 20,000 taels of silver out of her own pocket as the silver at the bottom of the box.

A big red lantern was hung in the Hou Mansion, and the courtyard behind the gate was full of boxes of dowry.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and a tense atmosphere gradually fills the house.

No one expected that Chu Qianchen's dowry had not been given out, and the Hou Mansion first ushered in a reward from the Empress Dowager Yin.

The house was boiling all at once.

Not only Chu Qianchen and the Shen family, but even Mrs. Tai and the people in each room gathered at the Yimen to listen to the Empress Dowager Yin's message.

After sending away the servants sent by the Empress Dowager Yin, the Shen family asked people to open the box of rewards, and from the masters of each room to the subordinates, they couldn't take their eyes off.

The contents of the box are rare treasures, such as a pair of heavy jade jade Ruyi, enamel pots and red coral bonsai, green jade phoenix dragon pattern furnaces, enamel inlaid ivory jewelry boxes and so on.

The reward given by the Empress Dowager Yin is a great honor.

Everyone had different expressions, some were envious, some were surprised, some were jealous, and some were relieved.

Shen had been worried since last night, and only now did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Empress Dowager Yin is King Chen's mother, she values Chu Qianchen, so even if King Chen doesn't like Chu Qianchen, the people in King Chen's mansion don't dare to despise Chu Qianchen.

Thinking about it, Shen's heart moved, and he instructed Mama Chen: "Take this as the first dowry and send it to King Chen's Mansion first." ”

Mama Chen understood what Shen meant, and immediately responded.

The Chenwang Mansion has been closed for a few days, and if the dowry sent by the Hou Mansion is rejected today, the scene will be embarrassing, so the Shen family will propose to take the Queen Mother's reward as the first lift, which is also a means of taking advantage of the situation.

The Queen Mother is the biological mother of King Chen, and King Chen's Mansion can not give face to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but she will not snub the Queen Mother.

Next, a dowry with a red ribbon was carried out of the gate of the Hou Mansion by a big man wearing a new set of new clothes and shoes, and these dowry bearers were full of energy and walked vigorously.

This heavy dowry was carried out, attracting many people and passers-by to watch.

Outside the Hou Mansion, the three layers inside and the outside are full of people, like this big day, the more people watching, the more festive it is.

However, Mrs. Tai's heart was like pressing a boulder, and there was no trace of joy on her face, but more worry: if the dowry can't enter the door today, then the face of the Hou Mansion will be lost.

Mrs. Tai's eyes when she looked at Chu Qianchen couldn't help but be a little angry: If it weren't for Chu Qianchen's fate, how could the Chu family have such a thing! Broom star, really broom star!

Mrs. Tai flicked her sleeves and turned in the direction of the main hall.

The other ladies looked at each other and entered the hall with Mrs. Tai in their arms.

The dowry is still being carried out, more than 200 dowries, and less than half of them have been carried out so far, I am afraid that when the first dowry is sent to the Chenwang Mansion, the last dowry cannot be sent out of the Hou Mansion.

Ten miles of red makeup is every woman's dream.

Shen Shi was not happy, and his mind was restless.

She was also as worried as Mrs. Tai that the Chenwang Mansion would refuse to accept Chu Qianchen's dowry, but not for the face of the Hou Mansion, but for Chu Qianchen.

Imagine, if she can't even enter the gate of the palace with her dowry, then tomorrow's wedding may not go well......

Just thinking about it, Shen's heart was even more worried, and his face didn't show anything.

Shen glanced at Mrs. Tai, afraid that Chu Qianchen would be affected by Mrs. Tai, so he comforted him softly: "Sister Chen, don't think about it, tomorrow is your big day, and everything will go well." ”

Chu Qianchen let out a soft "um" and pursed his lips and smiled.

The beautiful phoenix eyes flashed with bright light, smiling like a flower, and there was no worry at all.

Shen Shi was infected by her, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he sighed in his heart: This child, his heart is really big.

Chu Yunmu looked at Shen and Chu Qianchen back and forth, thinking that Chu Qianchen would get married tomorrow, and he was reluctant.

He also wanted to grab Chu Qianchen's skirt, but he felt that this was what the little girl did, so he pressed it again, his shoulders drooped, and he looked wilted.

He can't help with anything, he can't help with the dowry, and he can't carry Chu Qianchen on the sedan chair tomorrow......

Chu Qianchen rubbed his head, "Mother, Brother Mu, let's go sit for a while." ”

The three of them also went to the main hall and sat down.

Shen's heart has actually been hanging.

When the two hundredth dowry was sent out, a little servant finally came back happily and said, "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Chen, King Chen's Mansion is open!" The second girl's dowry was sent in! ”
