Chapter 114 Tea
Bai He raised his hand and flicked Mo Yu's forehead, saying, "The two of us are called the Black and White Devils of Prince Jing's Mansion. The first reason is because of our names, and the second is that we have always been together.
We have been together all the time, so don't you know what I have done? ”
Mo Yu thought about the people around them over the years. Apart from their master, there was no one close to them.
"No, no, why did you hit me? I think I became so stupid because you hit me on the head every day. You have to be responsible!"
Bai He wished he could be responsible for him for the rest of his life, and upon hearing him say so, he simply climbed up the pole.
"I will take responsibility. Of course I will take responsibility for my whole life."

The next day, after Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi got up, they soon discovered that something was not right between the two of them.
During breakfast, Mo Yu wanted to eat eggs but instead of peeling them himself, he asked Bai He to peel them for him. Bai He also peeled the eggs for him very lovingly.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes. Xiao Jinyi put down his chopsticks and asked the two, "What happened to you two? It feels different from the way you got along before?"
Mo Yu was too embarrassed to answer, so he gave Bai He a look, indicating that he should speak.
Bai He smiled particularly brightly, his mouth almost stretched to his ears. "Master and Lord, this subordinate is with Mo Yu!"
Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu were very surprised to hear this. They had noticed the difference in Bai He's attitude towards Mo Yu a long time ago and knew that Bai He liked Mo Yu, but Mo Yu had not yet figured it out.
Why did I suddenly get it today?
Bai He told them what happened yesterday. Shen Shixu looked at Mo Yu with a look of disappointment in his eyes, "Silly Mo Yu, aren't you usually very smart? Why did you sell yourself out in such a matter!"
Mo Yu smiled silly and said, "It's not a bad thing. Bai He took good care of me before, and now he takes even better care of me. Besides, all his money is with me. I didn't expect this guy to have saved a lot of money! He can buy a big house in the capital."
Xiao Jinyi was quite pleased that the two of them could succeed. Mo Yu and Bai He were both the closest people to him. When the two of them were together, he certainly couldn't be stingy.
"I'm very happy to see you two together. I've prepared a wedding gift list for you a long time ago. I originally wanted to use it as a betrothal gift, but now it seems I can just give it to you directly."
Xiao Jinyi stood up and went to his dormitory, taking out two boxes from the secret compartment.
“Since you two are together, the two three-story houses that were originally prepared will be replaced with one five-story house. Previously, I planned to give each of you five shops, but now I will directly give you twelve.
Knowing that you don’t know how to take care of it, we have found someone special to help you. All you have to do is collect the money. But I still have to check it out occasionally, in case the people below are not paying attention.
In addition to these things, there are also some furniture, but you can choose these things by yourselves and come to me for reimbursement when the time comes.
We have also prepared 30,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold for you as the start-up capital for your family. ”
The things Xiao Jinyi gave were no less than what an ordinary official's legitimate son gave when he got married. Bai He and Mo Yu didn't expect Xiao Jinyi to prepare so many things for them, and they stood there in a daze for a moment.
Mo Yu was the first to react. He was so moved that he burst into tears. "Woo woo, Master, I didn't expect you to prepare so many things for us. Thank you so much. Bai He and I will work for you honestly in the future. I will never talk behind your back and say that you are cold and indifferent again."
Xiao Jinyi knew that Mo Yu would talk about him behind his back, but he didn't punish him today.
"The ten thousand taels of silver and gold are all stored in the Golden Phoenix Bank, and the bills are in this box. As for the house, I haven't thought of a suitable one yet. If you have time, go out and look around. If you find one, come back and tell me, and I'll take you to buy it.
The same goes for other things. These are just your start-up capital. I will also buy you some gifts. If you like anything, please remember to tell me. ”
Shen Shixu also chimed in, "You also have to tell me that as your future lord, I should also give you a gift."
Xiao Jinyi looked at Chen Shixu with starry eyes. He was extremely happy that Chen Shixu classified him as a member of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Take the things, we will go to the palace later. Today is the first day that the emperor's sister-in-law gets married, and we, as the younger generation, have to go there."
Shen Shixu hesitated, “I haven’t married you yet, it’s not appropriate to go today!”
Xiao Jinyi took his hand and interlocked his fingers with his, shaking it like a spoiled child, "It's only a matter of time, don't you believe that the Queen's wife has also prepared a gift for you?"
Shen Shixu didn't quite believe it, and Xiao Jinyi saw that he was no match for him, so he took him directly to the palace.
The tea ceremony will be held in the Empress Dowager's Cikang Palace. When the time comes, everyone will gather in one place, saving Xiao Yuanqi and Meng Jiyao the trouble of running back and forth.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi lived outside the palace. When they arrived, the two princesses, Emperor Wu'an and Empress Lin were already in Cikang Palace.
After greeting them, Shen Shixu was pulled over by the Queen Mother to talk. The Queen Mother had wanted to have a good talk with him before, but she never had the chance.
Today, the Queen Mother took the opportunity to talk to Shen Shixu for a long time until everyone was present and they were just waiting for Meng Jiyao and Xiao Yuanqi to serve tea.
Meng Jiyao had her hair in a bun, wore a ruby headpiece, and a red Su brocade tasseled skirt. She knelt down with Xiao Yuanqi.
She took the teacup handed to her by the maid beside her, respectfully raised it above her head with both hands, leaned forward slightly, with a hint of shyness between her brows.
"Grandmother, please have some tea."
"Father, please have some tea."
"Mother, please have some tea."
After the three elders finished drinking the tea for the new daughter-in-law, they smiled and handed the red envelope they had prepared to Meng Jiyao.
After Meng Jiyao thanked her elders for the gifts and presented the sachet handkerchief she embroidered herself to Emperor Wu An and the others, she was about to give the gifts she prepared to her younger brothers and sisters as the eldest sister-in-law.
Princess Qingyang and Princess Huimin each had a set of head-dresses. Princess Qingyang wore a set of jadeite head-dress with a blue background, while Princess Huimin wore a set of exquisite pearl head-dresses.
After the princess's gifts, it was naturally the turn of the princes. The gifts given to the princes were also carefully prepared.
The second prince's was a fine writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone; the third prince's was a pair of blue and white porcelain vases; the fourth prince's was a set of collectible travel notes; and the sixth prince's was a jade ornament.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi are naturally not missing. Xiao Jinyi is a famous sword - Frost and Snow.
And Shen Shixu's gift was the one that took the most thought!
