Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dowry Prepared by the Mother
"Miss, His Royal Highness King An is really kind to you." Lian Xin stood behind Lige, looking at the dowry carried into the courtyard by his subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Really? Maybe. The tone was flat, without a hint of the joy of a woman to be married. Since Lige knew that Xiao Tianci didn't like her, no matter what kind of arrangement he made, she would accept it very calmly.
Standing in the corner of the courtyard and watching the dowry being carried into the Star Picking Garden like flowing water, there was a constant sigh of pity in my ears, thinking of the envy and jealousy in their eyes when my aunt and sister saw Gonggong Li personally come to give these heavy gifts...... In the face of these, Lige always had a faint smile on her face, in fact, she couldn't be happy in her heart, because she clearly knew that he would come to give such a heavy dowry and arrange such a grand pomp, but he just wanted to tell the world his attitude towards this marriage and the importance he attached to Mu Lige, and in the future, when she married into King An's mansion and became Princess An, no one would dare to look down on her.
Xiao Tianci, do you know that your painstaking arrangements will make me mistakenly think that you like me? Do you know how uncomfortable your compensatory thoughts can make me? Or even embarrassed?
When Mu Dongming and Mu Xiuyuan came back after sending Li Zheng back, they saw Mu Lige standing in the courtyard of the Star Picking Garden looking at the dowry in a daze.
"Lige, the day under Qin Tian's calculation is the fifth day of the seventh month, and there is nearly a month to go, you will take good care of your dowry during this time, you are the daughter of my general's mansion, and my father will definitely prepare a rich dowry for you, so that you can marry beautifully, and after marrying into the Anwang Mansion, they will not dare to look down on you in the slightest." Speaking of this, Mu Dongming took out a gift book from his arms and handed it to Mu Lige, and continued to speak:
"This is what your mother left for you before she died, she specially explained to me, and then handed it over to you when you are in time, this is the dowry she prepared for you, in the past, those shops have been taken care of by your father, and now I will hand it over to you, and you will go to the shop to hand it over when you are free. You don't need to prepare the wedding dress, your mother has already prepared it for you, and she made it with her own hands. Lige, no matter what the General's Mansion is, how King An's Mansion is, or even how King An is the person, Daddy only hopes that you can be safe, happy, healthy and happy. After speaking, Mu Dongming turned around and left the Star Garden, Lige looked at his slightly lonely back, he didn't know what to say for a while, he had always felt that Mu Dongming had a secret before, but now it seems that he is afraid that it is too late to verify, so he has to wait for a chance in the future.
"Ge'er, my brother knows that you are not as happy as you seem, but the holy decree has been issued, you ......" Mu Xiuyuan is very talkative on weekdays, but at this moment, he can't say anything in the face of this sister, he understands this sister, although Lige is smiling, but there is always a trace of sadness between his eyebrows, which is slightly invisible, if it weren't for his carefulness, I'm afraid he would think she was happy. Yes, this sister is so smart and sensitive, she must know that King An will not marry her because she likes it.
"Brother, I'm fine." Lige smiled, she knew that Mu Xiuyuan understood this matter very clearly, after all, he was working under Xiao Tianci, and he more or less understood Xiao Tianci, and now that the holy decree had been issued, she could only accept it. Fortunately, what Mu Lige is best at is that when he finds that his strength is not enough to change the world, he will choose to better adapt to the world and do his best to make his life happy and comfortable.
Mu Xiuyuan looked at Mu Lige, who was smiling a little reluctantly, raised his hand and rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "I naturally know that my sister is very good, no matter what you do, my brother will support you, if you are not happy in King An's Mansion, then come back, this will always be your home." ”
"yes, I know." Lige smiled, this brother is always so reliable, always so careful and considerate.
"Then you are busy, if you need anything, come and tell me directly, I will go to say hello to the third and fourth sisters, and don't let them quarrel with you."
"Uh-huh."
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Dongming sent someone to send her mother's wedding dress prepared for her, Lige looked at the fiery beloved brocade wedding dress, stroked the stitches and threads on the wedding dress, and felt a little complicated in her heart, is this the mother's love and blessing? It's just a pity that this marriage is not united because of love.
Following
Lige took pity to the Phoenix Pavilion on East Street, Phoenix Pavilion is a famous embroidery shop in Beijing, although the price of clothes and jewelry inside is staggeringly expensive, but everyone is still happy to come here to buy things, mainly because the things here are unique in both embroidery and workmanship, and each set of clothes and jewelry is unique, which avoids the embarrassment of customers hitting shirts.
Lige looked at the three-storey Phoenix Pavilion, which was an inheritance left to her by her mother. When I entered the store, the shopkeeper greeted me, "This young lady, what do you need?" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't know her, Lige didn't mind, but took out the phoenix jade pendant that Mu Dongming sent her yesterday from his arms, and said softly: "I'm Mu Lige." ”
"It turned out to be the young owner, and the general sent someone over yesterday to explain, please come with the little one." After speaking, the shopkeeper respectfully took Mu Lige to the second floor, "Shaodong's house, it's inconvenient for the small ones on the third floor to go, please go up alone, there are important people waiting for you there." ”
When he heard the song, he frowned, his heart was full of doubts, what important person? But she didn't bother so much, just told Lian Xin to wait for her on the second floor and walk to the third floor by herself.
As soon as I reached the third floor, a man dressed in black stood at the top of the stairs, "Miss, please." ”
Lige nodded, under his leadership, came to a room, walked in and saw two people sitting in the room, a man and a woman, the two saw Lige walk in, they stood up, walked to Lige, knelt on one knee on the ground, respectfully gestured, and looked at Mu Lige with extremely pious eyes.
