Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:
To marry a blue-robed scholar;
To live in a sunny little courtyard;
If she could also open a...
Chapter 177 Pre-wedding preparations
"Just now, I talked to the prince. I'm afraid Yi Yi will get married at the end of the year."
When Mo Ruhai returned home, he calmly told the news.
The family was more shocked than happy.
There have been too many happy events recently, and everyone is excited and wants to save face, so all the tea, sugar, wine and banquets are of high standards.
If they are happy drinking, they will even charter a car or sedan to take the guests.
I did receive quite a few gifts, but not much in the way of silver, mostly just objects.
In addition, some money would be given when Mo Wen got married and when Mo Da passed the imperial examination and had a child.
All of a sudden, Hua Tulu was gone.
Now, let alone marrying Mo Yi off in a decent manner, it would be good enough if we could hold a decent wedding banquet.
Moreover, even if there is money, it takes time to prepare the dowry! How can two or three months be enough?
But... everyone looked at Mo Ruhai...
This is not right!
Shouldn't he be actively opposed to Mo Yi getting married so soon?
Shouldn't he be most worried about Mo Yi not having a dowry?
Even Mo Rushan and Mo Rusong were worried and planned to write a letter to Song Jiayou, asking him to think of a solution...
Why is it that this man who loves his daughter the most is calmly stroking his beard, looking like: This is a good thing and I am very satisfied? !
Faced with the brothers' doubts and worries, as well as the uneasiness of Zhuang and Wang.
Mo Ruhai said calmly, "The Qi Wang Mansion has everything, and they are all used by the royal family. Even if we buy it for Yi Yi and bring it over, it will just be left in the warehouse to collect dust. It would be better if we bring more silver and property... We can buy it whenever we need it."
He's gone crazy again... Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
…
This news finally reached Concubine Feng.
The dowry list was in the front study, so someone copied a copy and sent it to her...
When he saw the thin envelope and thought of Princess Zhou's thick dowry book, he couldn't help but laugh: She is really poor.
When I pulled it out, there was indeed just a piece of paper with only twenty or so lines of small words on it.
Humph, if I were her, I would put a separate piece of paper on the chamber pot and toilet to make up the number...
"Qizhen Tower..." Concubine Feng squinted her eyes and saw it, and she was unable to come to her senses for a moment.
Qizhen Building!
Her eyes widened immediately.
Oh my god, the prince actually gave her the Qizhen Tower? !
How is this possible?
Look carefully again, the address... yes, that's it.
She knows Qizhenlou...
At the beginning, when she was still with Zhao Mama, she had seen the dowry list of Queen Zhao. But that was when she was sorting things out, and she had secretly seen it. There were too many things, so she didn't remember them all, but she remembered this, and she had also been with Zhao Mama.
The original shop was not as big as it is now.
Later, they bought the land next to it and rebuilt it.
This shop is now the best in Beijing!
The shopkeeper is Zhao Mama's younger brother...
Two years ago, she had thought about arranging her cousin's husband's brother to be in the position to test the prince. In the end, the prince asked her to talk to Zhao Ma!
But how could she say it?
At that time, I was quite angry.
At this moment, her heart was churning even more.
What's going on, sir?
What did he owe this woman?
Such a good property, not to be left to Shao Ge'er, but to be given as a dowry to such an ordinary woman?
As a husband, not only did he give so much betrothal gifts, but he also had to give a dowry? He had to give up everything just to marry her, why?
Concubine Feng closed her eyes and digested it for a long time before opening them again.
And...what is this?
Mine?!
…
In the front study, the aide Mr. Yang was flattering Li Jing with a beaming smile.
"Your Highness, all the formalities have been completed. A mine and a piece of land, the two are finally connected. Your Highness is really smart! You have done a great job."
Li Jing actually smiled.
That day, he made the emperor angry and took out the private property booklet and asked him to choose.
Although Li Jing had been thinking about it for a long time, this kind of thing, how could you get it just by thinking about it?
He mentioned Mo Yi and the dowry, and deliberately said that they would get married in two years, just to make the emperor unhappy.
But he didn't expect that...his father the emperor, would actually hand the pot to him!
It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, so why be polite?
He directly took the mineral resource book, flipped through it, and pointed out several large mines that the emperor would obviously not give...
As a result, he was met with the emperor's contempt and cold snort.
Finally, he chose this place reluctantly, helplessly, and casually.
This is an old copper mine that has been mined for many years.
The main mines have been almost mined out, leaving only some corners and auxiliary mines.
The emperor knew what was in his pocket, and when he saw Li Jing choose it, he laughed secretly...
But he didn't know that Li Jing had a capable man under his command who discovered a new mineral source a few years ago, right near the mine entrance.
The two mines are very close to each other. If they are discovered, they will be merged with the old mine and become the emperor's private property, going directly into his pocket.
If you want to apply for mining separately, it will be harder than climbing to the sky.
Without knowing the truth, the emperor gave it to Mo Yi.
Li Jing bought the new mine as wasteland and merged it with the old mine without anyone noticing...
"Your Highness, you have married a very good little princess. Otherwise, the Emperor would only give her treasures such as calligraphy and paintings and jewelry. Giving her property is too difficult! I'm afraid you are the first one to do that!"
…
The emperor was so excited that he gave his property to Li Jing's future daughter-in-law.
Although he thought it was an old mine that was basically empty...
But this is not an inanimate object like jewelry, famous paintings, antiques, medicinal herbs or clothing that can only be displayed and used.
This is the emperor’s private property and can generate money!
And it’s a mine!
Then, the palace exploded.
I don't know how everyone knew about this...
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Dong, with tears in her eyes, pulled her fifteenth prince to ask for the property.
Before anything happened, the princes arrived one by one and hung around in front of the palace, all hoping to get some share of their father's property.
Even the crown prince came, of course, under the banner of sharing the emperor's worries, he pretended to be noble and tolerant, and patiently advised everyone. "Seventh brother is so old, he has not yet married, and he has been fighting outside for years..."
Originally, the emperor was a little soft-hearted after being persuaded by his favorite concubine, and wanted Liu Su to bring out his property catalogue...
As a result, I saw a group of people in front of the temple...
“……”Do they think I want to divide the family?
He got angry and slammed the table, and everyone scattered.
In the end, Concubine Dong only extorted a painting from her son.
…
The wedding date has been set and the mine has been acquired.
The prince seemed to like the strange-looking leather bag made by Mo Yi.
When he was happy, Nanny Zhao was happy too. She tried to trouble Mo Yi as little as possible and personally took care of those trivial matters.
But even if Mo Yi didn't have to take care of these things, she wouldn't have time to take care of the shop.
Being a royal wife is different from marrying into an ordinary family as you have to deal with various rules and etiquette all day long.
There was really no other choice but to postpone the official opening of the shop until after the marriage.
A few days before the wedding, all the people were present. They wore their wedding clothes and went through the formalities again and again, which was very tiring.
The Mo family members couldn't get involved, but at least they gained a lot of knowledge.
Mo Wen also came back to help. After the last incident, her relationship with Mo Yi became much closer.
Occasionally, Xu Ke would show up with her.
The young couple was very pleasing to the eye. Mo Wen, who was following Xu Ke, also had some of the charm of a young woman.
The relationship between the two of them had indeed eased a lot, but it was not as sweet as that of an ordinary newlywed couple.
One is that Xu Ke didn't really like her from the bottom of his heart. He just felt that she was bright and generous, and was valued by the elders in the family. But that was all, and it was not enough to make him fall in love with her.
Another thing is that he was really afraid of Princess Yu'an because she was making too much noise.
To this day, he still grits his teeth and says that he has never slept with Mo Wen.
However, with the ties of Mo Wen in his life and the attraction of her flower-like body, his obsession with the princess and the excitement of having an affair were not as strong as before.
It was because he was concentrating on his work during this period, and the princess also hoped that he would do so, so she probably didn't notice...
