The next day, the members of the Shen family really arrived, and there were quite a few people coming, men and women, old and young, and there were more than 30 people combined. They are also here to help, so they will stay in the capital until after Ji Beibei's wedding.

In addition to the people who came, they also brought two whole truckloads of good timber.

They were joined by Fahrenheit's mother's family.

Rushing all the way, I saw the holy decree enshrined on the incense table. The patriarch of the Shen family and several clan elders did not dare to slack off, so they first went to the guest house to bathe and clean their clothes, and then burned incense with their hands. Only then did the patriarch respectfully hold the holy decree and spread it out, and the other clan elders watched.

After reading the holy decree several times, several people said with excitement on their faces: "I didn't expect that our Shen family could have a princess, this is a great blessing for our whole clan." ”

Respectfully rolled up the holy decree and put it back on the incense table, the patriarch of the Shen family looked at Shen Xiucai with a smile on his face, and handed over a box: "This is the dowry given by the clan to the eldest niece." ”

"Dowry?" Shen Xiucai paused for a moment.

"Yes, dowry."

The patriarch of the Shen family nodded, and said in a serious tone: "The eldest niece was given to King Heng as a concubine, this is not only a great joy for your family, but also a great joy for our family. So if this dowry is not enough, you are not the only one who will lose face. ”

"Since it's Beibei's dowry, then I'll accept it for Beibei."

Shen Xiucai nodded, knowing that what the patriarch said was right. It must have been put together by the whole people. It is everyone's heart, and it is not something that you can refuse and should not refuse. So I gladly took the box and opened it.

When he saw the thick stack of silver tickets inside, Rao was prepared Shen Xiucai was still startled, and looked up at the patriarch and hesitated: "This? Could it be too much? ”

"There are 60,000 taels of silver here, but not 70,000 taels. Use it to make a dowry of seventy-two units, which must be enough. ”

Before the patriarch of the Shen family came, it was not that he had not done his homework at all. At least he knew the minimum amount of dowries for the other princesses of the dynasty.

He also knew that his clan had no capital to compare with other princesses, and it would be good to be able to combine the strength of the whole clan to help Ji Beibei raise enough dowry for seventy-two units, and it would be good not to be ashamed at that time.

"I thank the people for this kindness on behalf of Beibei. I'll tell you the truth, I'm worried about the lack of this dowry these days. This can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. Shen Xiucai was grateful and said sincerely.

"Hehe, a family, all belong to the same ancestor, one is prosperous and one is lost. Say thank you? The eldest niece is fighting for the face of our people. ”

The patriarch of the Shen family smiled: "The wedding date is urgent, presumably it is not easy for you to buy good timber even if you take the silver temporarily." So in addition to the silver, I also brought a lot of wood for the furniture--"

Inner Courtyard.

The patriarch's wife took Ji Beibei's hand and looked her up and down carefully, first praised it, and Ji Beibei was embarrassed to praise it, so she let go with a smile. Turning his head to Fahrenheit with an envious expression, he said, "You are really blessed." ”

With a smile and a sigh, the patriarch's wife sighed: "I think that when Beibei returned home, who would have thought that she would still have such a creation today?" Now in my hometown, who doesn't envy and jealous that you gave birth to such a good daughter? ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless with emotion, and pulled Fahrenheit to the side and asked in a low voice: "However, there are also people who say sour things behind their backs." For example, the clansmen of the Pan family can't see us well, and they always talk about the North and North Childless behind their backs. Have you asked a doctor to show us Beibei? In the end, will she be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for King Heng in the future? ”
