The prince and the high-ranking officials and nobles came to congratulate him in person, and the small courtyard house of Chang Feng's family naturally couldn't fit it.

This is easy to do, Chang Feng found Liu Jin to discuss, and planned to borrow Huai'en's outer house as a new house.

Liu Jin immediately agreed. He understands Wynne's temperament, and must be willing to borrow it. What's more, this marriage is to explore the situation in the Ming Dynasty for the crown prince?

Chang Feng didn't stop, and came to Liu's Mansion again.

Liu Bingyi saw his prospective son-in-law, like a dog seeing. I almost went up and licked two bites.

With a smile on his face, he let his son-in-law into the living room.

Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan, this trip is to discuss something with you." You know my old house......."

Liu Bingyi hurriedly said: "I know, your family has always been poor, and the house is not very decent." Why don't you leave the marriage with me? ”

Liu Bingyi is very good at talking. To paraphrase the terminology of later generations...... High emotional intelligence says: "Poverty".

Low EQ says: "Poor".

Chang Feng waved his hand: "That's not necessary." I borrowed Grandpa Wynne's house as a new house. ”

Liu Bingyi clapped his hands: "Okay." Sooner or later, Father-in-law Huaien will return to Beijing to be the prime minister. borrowed his outer house as a wedding room, and our Chang and Liu families are decent. ”

Chang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Oh yes, I've already made an invitation." The cabinet elders, the six ministers of the Shangshu Shilang, the Jiuqing, the commanders and the military attachés above the same knowledge, the duke, the marquis, and the uncle are all invited. ”

Liu Bingyi's face changed: "Virtuous son-in-law." I'll say a few more words, don't be upset. ”

"Let's not be bored. Although your father-in-law is a political envoy of Sanpinbu. But there are too many big names in the capital. ”

"I'm an official, and I'm still an official outside Beijing. It's a fart to put it in Kyonai. Those elders, ministers, where will they give our family face to come to congratulate? ”

Chang Fengfeng said lightly: "They can not give you face, not give face to the son-in-law." But they can't help but give His Royal Highness the crown prince! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to congratulate him in person. Those invitations were sent by His Highness to me. ”

Liu Bingyi almost couldn't believe his ears: "What are you talking about?" I heard you right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to congratulate you and Xiaoyan? ”

Chang Feng nodded: "You heard me right. His Royal Highness also said, let the people from the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace help me get married. ”

Liu Bingyi was dumbfounded at first. Then he clapped his hands and smiled: "Wow! Good! My Liu family married their daughter, and the prince came in person. What a blessing is this? ”

"In the future, I'm afraid that even my master Liu Ge will look up at me!"

"Virtuous son-in-law, it's still your big face! I'm kind of wiped out with you, and I raised my eyebrows and exhaled! ”

Liu Bingyi's little abacus crackled in his heart: The prince's visit to congratulate him is not just a matter of face. I can take advantage of the situation to show my loyalty to him and stand on the side of the East Palace.

When the crown prince ascends the throne, my official position will only rise, not decrease. The future is also guaranteed.

Liu Bingyi thought too much. Although Zhu Youzhi did not plan to clean up the papier-mâché three pavilion elders and party henchmen after ascending the throne. But it will never be used again.

Chang Feng got up: "I'll go back to Grandpa Huaien's house first....."

Liu Bingyi stopped him: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, virtuous son-in-law." Let's take a look at the dowry I prepared for Xiaoyan first! ”

After speaking, Liu Bingyi ordered the housekeeper to lead dozens of family members and bring up the dowry.

There are four large boxes and two small boxes.

Liu Bingyi opened the first big box first. The contents of the box were simple and crude—neatly stacked silver ingots. One water and twenty taels.

Liu Bingyi said with a smile: "The virtuous son-in-law used to be in Jinyiwei, and he specialized in dealing with silver. Guess how much of this silver? ”

Chang Feng only glanced at it, and then estimated the number: "About two thousand taels." ”

Liu Bingyi gave a thumbs up: "It is worthy of being transferred to a family errand." A total of two thousand two hundred and twenty-two taels. The auspicious meaning of picking up good things in pairs. ”

Chang Feng was a little embarrassed: "Old Taishan, I didn't give a penny of dowry." You posted more than 2,000 taels of silver to dowry. How embarrassed is this? ”

Liu Bingyi looked at Chang Feng with sincere eyes: "Virtuous son-in-law." I don't have a son, just this one daughter. In the future, my son-in-law will hold me half a son. ”

"What do you want so much silver for an elder? Sooner or later, it's not all yours? ”

"Now it's given to you, so that you can live a little better, I am willing."

Liu Bingyi has been an official for ten years, although he is not as greedy as Cai Zhong, dare to be greedy, and greedy as efficient. But it is not uncommon for him to accept some bribes from his subordinates, and in addition to the social money he spends, he also saved seven or eight thousand taels of goods.

This time, he was out of the way. Coaxing a son-in-law is equivalent to coaxing the big celebrity around the future emperor. More than two thousand taels of silver is worth the price.

Besides, half of what he said was true. After all, there is only this one daughter. No matter how snobbish he is, he is also a father.

Liu Bingyi opened two more small boxes.

In a small box, there were ten large golden dates. Each one has five taels. About fifty taels of gold.

Liu Bingyi explained: "This is Jiao's gold shop to get golden dates. It's all full of red gold. Take the meaning of giving birth to a noble son early. ”

In the other small box, it is all head jewelry.

Liu Bingyi said: "These jewelry, all of them are of the highest quality. Look at how authentic these Burmese jade earrings are, the water is rippling! ”

"My daughter, the daughter-in-law of the celebrity around the prince, will inevitably associate with the ladies in Beijing in the future, but she can't lose her dignity."

Chang Feng didn't know what to say. I had to nod frequently: "Old Taishan is expensive, expensive." ”

The remaining three large boxes were filled with fine winter cloth, summer cloth, and first-class Suzhou and Hangzhou silk. In addition, there are more than a dozen sets of new clothes inside and out.

Chang Feng roughly estimated that these dowries probably cost Liu Bingyi more than 3,500 taels.

In the end, Liu Bingyi took out another delicate wooden box.

Inside the wooden box is a title deed and a title deed.

Liu Bingyi said: "Father-in-law Huaien is in Nanjing. You can stay in his house for a while. When he comes back, it will always be inconvenient for you two to live in someone else's house. ”

"I have a three-entry house in the north of the city, which is quite spacious and comfortable. You can live in it after you get married. This is the title deed. ”

"In addition, in Wanping County, a suburb of Beijing, I have 200 acres of fertile land. It was also given to you, and this is the title deed. ”

Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan." I really don't know what to say. ”

Liu Bingyi smiled: "Look, one family, what do you say?" ”

At this time, Liu Xiaoyan walked into the hall: "What my father means is that he will put it upside down for you." In the future, you will have to say a few more kind words for the prince in front of him. ”

Liu Bingyi looked embarrassed.

But Chang Feng started a round for the old man: "Xiao Yan, what are you talking about." Your dad hurts you. Oh no, it hurts both of us. ”

Liu Bingyi nodded busily: "Yes, yes, yes." How can there be a father in this world who doesn't love his daughter and son-in-law? ”

"This dowry is a hair!"
