Chapter 134: A Gift Sent Twice
In the next few days, the third prince did not come, An Ruqing went to the palace during the day to treat the queen's mother, and after returning home, she was busy preparing a dowry list for Xiaoying.
Some of them are in the storeroom, and some of them need to be bought on the spot.
"Miss, you don't need to prepare so much, it's almost enough, the dowry you prepared for me is generally not available in rich and noble families." Xiao Ying looked at the gift list and was very moved.
When the young lady got married, the huge Prime Minister's Mansion was not as much as the dowry on this gift list, and she was a maid, where was she worthy of these?
An Ruqing stretched out her hand and touched her forehead: "You are loyal to me, you are naturally worthy of it, don't say such stupid things again in the future." ”
After working for a long time, the two of them planned to go out for a walk, and by the way, they went to the best ready-to-wear shop in the capital to have a look, and selected the fabric for the tailor to prepare the wedding dress.
As soon as she went out, An Ruqing saw melons, fruits and vegetables placed outside, as well as rice, flour, grain and oil, all of which were necessities of life.
"Is this a gift from the prince?" Xiao Ying took a closer look and said with a smile: "The prince really likes Miss, and he has prepared all these things." ”
An Ruqing also thought so, and instructed the maid to put away all the things, went to the ready-to-wear shop with Xiaoying, selected the fabric and style, and measured Xiaoying's size.
When she came back, An Ruqing saw a bunch of things at the door again, and she was very puzzled, she pushed the door in, and saw Mo Nanchen at a glance.
"Qing'er, I prepared some things for you, and I also sent some silver, if you need anything, tell me directly, and there is the matter of Minghui and Xiaoying, I prepared some congratulatory gifts for them, and I will ask someone to send them when I go back."
"You can send it, why do you send it twice?" An Ruqing asked suspiciously.
She took Mo Nanchen to the east kitchen, and stretched out her hand to point to the contents inside: "Aren't these also what you just sent?" ”
"Not really." Mo Nanchen frowned slightly.
He just went down to the court and personally bought things and sent them, who sent them? Could it be the Three Princes?
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Mo Nanchen waited outside the mansion in advance, and at the same hour the next day, the person who delivered the things came again, this time with clothes and jewelry.
"Who are you?" Mo Nanchen stepped forward to stop the person, looked at it, and felt that this person was very familiar: "Who sent you here?" ”
"I'm me, I'm an errand runner." The man raised his head and saw the coldness in Mo Nanchen's eyes, and he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, trying his best to explain.
The person in front of him is imposing, and his identity is not simple at first glance, and he definitely can't be provoked.
"The small one is running errands on the street, specializing in helping people carry things, yesterday a very rich old man found the small one, let the small one help run errands, and gave a lot of silver, don't get me wrong, the small one will earn some silver to support the family, absolutely no bad intentions!"
With his explanation, Mo Nanchen remembered that he had seen him on the street before, and as he said, he was an errand runner and did not lie.
As for the rich man, eighty percent is the third prince, he is a thief, and he knows that it is useless to come in person, so he uses this trick.
Mo Nanchen didn't embarrass him, but just advised: "Don't come over again in the future, take all these things away, if you lose them, it's okay to return them to that person, in short, don't put them here." ”
"Huh?" The man is embarrassed now, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
He said tremblingly: "Master, the little one doesn't dare, in case he offends the master, this, this ......"
"You said that the people in the house kicked you out and beat you severely, and this money is given to you as compensation." Mo Nanchen directly took out a silver ticket and put it in his hand.
The man had never seen such a large face value of silver tickets in his life, and Le's mouth couldn't close, for the sake of silver, the risk was really not worth mentioning, so he hurriedly responded, took something and ran away.
Mo Nanchen called Minghui and asked him to bring more guards over, protect An Ruqing, and don't let the third prince approach.
"Don't worry, master, your subordinates will definitely protect the princess!" Minghui nodded vigorously, the princess is a noble person for himself and Xiaoying, even if he gives up this life, he can't let people hurt the princess in the slightest.
After solving this matter, Mo Nanchen went in to see An Ruqing and mentioned Meiqing to her.
"Yesterday, my father came to me about this, and he planned to point out his eyebrows to me as his wife, Qing'er, what do you think?"
When he said this, Mo Nanchen looked forward to it, and looked at her intently, hoping that she could refuse directly, and it was best to be jealous again.
An Ruqing noticed the expectation in his eyes and deliberately said the opposite: "Really? That's a double happiness, I have to quickly check the treasury, prepare a congratulatory gift for the prince, and prepare two more copies. ”
"Qing'er! Do you want me to marry another woman so much? Mo Nanchen suddenly became anxious and grabbed her arm: "If I marry Meiqing, the two of us will watch the snow and the moon together, and we will also read poems and songs together." ”
"I want to have another child." An Ruqing added with a smile.
It's just that I don't know, who is this child, maybe it belongs to the county lord's house?
At this time, Mo Nanchen couldn't hold back anymore, and directly held the person in his arms: "Don't you understand?" The person I like is you, I just want to have children with you, whether it's a concubine or a concubine, I don't want it. ”
There is only An Ruqing who he wants from beginning to end, no matter what her identity is, whether she is the daughter of the prime minister or a miracle doctor, as long as it is her.
"I have begged my father, and he agreed, I don't have to marry Meiqing, Qing'er, don't be angry with me, I just said it on purpose, I just want to see you jealous."
An Ruqing buried her head in his arms, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, what she didn't know was that Mo Nanchen only said half of what she said.
In order to refuse this family business, he sacrificed half of the military power in his hand, and as a condition, he finally begged the emperor to relax.
"By the way, aren't you curious, why did I just say two congratulatory gifts?" An Ruqing said with a smile.
Looking at Mo Nanchen's puzzled look, she explained: "At the birthday party before, she wanted to hit me, I shook her wrist and accidentally found out that she was pregnant, I guess she was in a hurry to marry you, for this reason." ”
If it is a period of time later, when the belly is big, then it will not be able to hide it, and once this matter spreads, Meiqing's reputation will be completely ruined.
Unmarried pregnancy is not a good thing even in modern times, let alone here, even if Meiqinggui is the county lord and is very favored, it is inevitable that people will talk about her and scold her for being shameless.
