Chapter 23 The dowry returned to the family yard, but I didn’t see it…

When he returned to his courtyard and didn't see Yinzhen, Qi Buchen asked, "Where's the master?"

"Master took Eunuch Su to the parade grounds for a horse race."

Qi Buchen ignored it and turned to think about the New Year gifts. The New Year was coming soon, and the younger generations had to prepare some gifts for their elders to show their filial piety. However, they still lived in the palace, and all the things were distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so there was no need to be too formal, as long as the thought was good.

However, Qi Buchen had a dowry, because she was going to be the prince's wife, and the dowry given by the Ulanara family was not small, so now she didn't have to bother to please others, and she only had to pick some things from her dowry.

When Yinzhen came back from riding, he found that Fu Jin did not come out to greet him, which was unusual for him. He was a little surprised: "Fu Jin hasn't come back yet?"

Could it be that my mother really found out that I was copying for others and kept me here to punish me?

Thinking of this, he became anxious. In the palace, people were often punished by being made to kneel when they made mistakes. I was so weak that I became sick after kneeling for an entire afternoon. And Fu Jin was so frail. If she had knelt until now, wouldn't she be in danger?

Moreover, both times he was punished because of himself, so Yinzhen felt guilty and walked forward without stopping, thinking about changing his clothes and going to Yonghe Palace to find someone.

The servant who came to pick him up was a little confused. What was wrong with his master? He asked questions without giving him a chance to answer and just rushed in. But as a servant, what could he do? He could only follow him in two steps at a time: "Master, the wife came back at noon and is now in the storeroom with some people. I wonder what she is looking for."

"Back?" His imagination was too strong just now, and his guess was denied for a while, so Yinzhen was still a little unconvinced.

"yes."

Although he received affirmation again, Yinzhen did not slow down his pace, but changed the direction.

Arriving at the south-south side of the east wing, he saw that the door was ajar, and there were palace servants guarding the door: "Greetings, Master."

"Is Fu Jin in there?" Yin Zhen stood in front of the door and could hear the rummaging and talking inside. He was relieved when he heard that one of the voices was indeed Fu Jin's.

"Yes, Fu Jin said she wanted to select New Year gifts for the ladies."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he realized that he had forgotten about this matter.

But... he is now a bald prince who is still in school. Everything he has is given by his father, and he really can't give anything as a gift to his elders.

Fu Jin was being considerate of him. Now that he was married, the things Fu Jin sent would appear to be sent by him. Fu Jin knew that he was in an awkward position, so she didn't mention it to him. She planned to prepare it quietly and just send it to him.

After all, if you tell others about using your wife's dowry, they will make you laugh.

Yinzhen stood motionless in front of the door, his thoughts racing. One moment he thought that his wife's dowry was not very thick, but she gave it to help him without saying a word, which showed her sincerity towards him. The next moment he thought that his wife was good to him, and that was not an excuse for him to use her dowry. As a man, he should be the pillar of the family. Then he thought that he had to make some income as soon as possible, and he would have to subsidize his wife more in the future so that her dowry would be thick and she could hold her head up in front of all the sisters-in-law in the future.

......Qi Buchen, who knew nothing, said that she thought the New Year gifts she prepared only represented her own thoughts.

The young eunuch guarding the storeroom door noticed that his master had stood still after asking questions, and he wondered, "What is this master doing standing there? If you want to come in, just take a step, and I'll open the door for you; if you want to leave, just turn around, and I'll see you off. But standing neither too far nor too close is really embarrassing."

The young eunuch was in a dilemma. Su Peisheng watched for a while and realized that his master had become mentally ill again. He didn't know what was wrong, but since his illness had improved, his master would often lose his mind whenever he encountered something related to his wife. It seemed that he had to ask the imperial physician to take another look.

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng walked to the door of the warehouse and raised his voice to the inside: "Fujin, the master is back."

There was silence inside for a moment, and then Qi Buchen's voice was heard saying, "Master is back? That's perfect. Please come in and take a look to see if the things are suitable."

Su Peisheng uttered a "hey," gently opened the door, and turned to face Yinzhen, who had come to his senses: "Master, Fu Jin invites you to come in and take a look."

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng and inexplicably thought to himself, this servant is not bad. But then he thought, if he wasn't good, he wouldn't have asked him to serve him all the time. Well, he deserved it.

After thinking this way, he decided not to brag anymore, and just lifted his robe and went into the warehouse.

As soon as I entered, I looked to my left. I had heard the voice coming from this side, and sure enough, I saw Qi Buchen wearing a large red cloak made of golden needles, his hands tucked into the furry sleeves, and a furry scarf around his neck. His palm-sized face seemed to be gently supported by the white fur, making it look even more crystal white. He looked over at me sideways, his eyes curved, and a smile on his lips: "Come and take a look. How about this bonsai for the Empress Dowager?"

Yinzhen couldn't help but smile. He walked two or three steps to Qi Buchen and stood side by side with her. He first glanced at the lively hairpin on her head, and then looked at the bonsai she was pointing to.

This is a small Ganoderma lucidum bonsai. The entire trunk of the Ganoderma lucidum tree is made of gold, and the Ganoderma lucidum heads inlaid on the support are carved from various gemstones, such as white jade, topaz, tourmaline, lapis lazuli, coral, etc. They are of different sizes, textures and colors. I don’t know why, but the Ganoderma lucidum heads are carved into a round and plump shape by the craftsmen, adding a touch of exquisiteness and cuteness to the magnificent appearance.

Yinzhen naturally disliked things with overlapping colors, but when he looked at the bonsai with bright and diverse colors, he somehow felt that they were beautiful.

Qi Buchen said, "I'm thinking that the price of this thing isn't the most important thing. It's just that the colors look bright, and the Ganoderma lucidum head is so cute, it looks like a chubby little baby. The Empress Dowager is now old, so she would probably like this."

"Yes, very good. The Empress Dowager will definitely be happy." Yinzhen actually didn't know much about his Empress Dowager, but he always believed in his own vision. What he thought was good, others would definitely think was good too.

"That's good." Qi Buchen breathed a sigh of relief and his smile grew wider. "Then this is it." Finally, he got one person.

"Take out the few items you ordered just now and have a look." She directed everyone, and even Su Peisheng followed Songying to help.

Qi Buchen turned around and wanted to tell Yinzhen to see if there were other items that were suitable to be given away.

But she found that Yinzhen was looking at her straight, with a gleam in his eyes.

...Hmm, an illusion, just the reflection of candlelight. Qi Buchen spitted out his own sudden Jack Su idea. Where was the flashlight at that time? It was still flickering.

Yinzhen didn't know that his wife had been blaming him again. He looked at Qi Buchen with moist eyes and promised: "I will definitely give you better things in the future."

???

Qi Buchen was full of questions. Was this plot moving forward so quickly without me knowing?

"Ah? No thanks," she said dryly. Why would he give me such a nice thing for no reason? To make up for it? Why would he make up for it? Was he trying to trick her into giving her all her dowry so he could make more money?

dream!

"You don't believe me?"

Qi Buchen felt that this person was as serious as the one at the train station pretending to be deaf and dumb to ask her to donate money.

"I do, of course I do!" She nodded vigorously, "I just... don't think... it's necessary."

I don't need you to mend it, so don't take my things.

Yinzhen's eyes softened: "How can it be unnecessary? A woman's dowry...is her lifelong foundation."

You know it's your confidence, but you still want to lie? Qi Buchen felt very angry.

"You're right."

"Don't worry." Yinzhen raised his hand to straighten Qi Buchen's hairpin, which was already very straight. He felt sorry that he couldn't poke that chubby little face. "I won't let you lose confidence."
