Chapter 178 How to Give
Although the dowry issue has been settled.
But Mo Rushan discussed with his two younger brothers, "We can't let the girl go out without giving her any clues! When people talk about it later, they will laugh at the Mo family for decades."
Even Mo Rushong agreed with this. The prince is new now, so he is not picky.
In the future, the new bride will become the old bride... How can there be a man who doesn't care about the dowry?
So, the three brothers picked and chose, taking the most presentable gifts from their relatives and friends, and added the betrothal gift from Prince Qi's Palace.
She collected another 1,000 taels of silver, plus the 2,000 taels that Wang's family had stuffed in, a total of 3,000 taels, to give to Mo Yi as a deposit. Seeing that Mo Ruhai didn't discuss anything with her, Wang simply left it alone!
But Mo Yi only took the betrothal gift from the palace and refused to take anything else.
She said gently, "I appreciate the elders' kindness. Because he knows the situation of the Mo family, the prince has thought of everything for me. Soon, it will be the turn of the second brother to propose marriage. He is the only son of the eldest son, so the betrothal gift cannot be too unreasonable. Let's leave all this to the second brother!"
After hearing this, Mo Rushan was so excited that he was speechless for a long time.
"Brother, why don't you just listen to Yi Yi? She knows what she's doing." After Mo Ruhai finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of Mo Wen: For some reason, his wife gave her a lot of dowry, so much so that the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't stand it and was unhappy.
As for Mo Wen, he was not as thorough as Yi Yi. He took away everything that was given to him openly or secretly...
"Yi Yi has told me many times that we still have brothers and sisters. We can't let our family live a hard life because of her dowry. What a sensible girl..." He glanced at Wang out of the corner of his eye.
I thought to myself: Since you said you didn’t care, then it’s really none of your business!
Just treat Yi badly for the rest of your life, and don't give her a sweet date before you leave, so that she will know about your feelings.
Unlike her eldest daughter who had to take care of everything when she got married, Wang had no say in all Mo Yi's affairs. How could she bear this? She wanted to use the dowry as a lifeline to make the father and daughter beg her, but she didn't expect that they didn't need her at all.
He sat there, not saying a word, with a very bad look on his face.
On the day of the bride-picking ceremony, all the members of the Wang family came dressed in their best and most beautiful clothes.
Even the old man's beard was specially oiled.
Wang Xiujuan and her husband also came, and their attitudes were very sincere. But when she looked at her sister who was also wearing jewels, although she also smiled, it felt faint, without the slightest excitement of getting married.
I don't know what this sister is doing now!
He whispered to her, "Now that Mo Yi is married, Mo Ruhai needs comfort. You two have grown old together, and you have a grandson. Your children are so outstanding. Don't be so stiff all the time. Take this opportunity to comfort him..."
"Humph! Do you think I care?" Wang rolled her eyes. "Don't you see how proud she is now? With a prince as her son-in-law, does she still need me to coax her?!"
"You know he has a son-in-law who is a prince, so shouldn't you be more humble?"
"Then the son-in-law is not mine?" Wang was not convinced.
"Then who is Mo Yi closest to?" Wang Xiujuan asked.
"Do I need her food and clothing?" Wang suddenly became excited again, "Why does everyone think that I treat her unfairly? She didn't want the dowry and didn't like it. It's not that I, as a mother, didn't give it to her."
Wang Xiujuan was speechless. "Listen, what are you talking about?"
"Hmph!" Wang curled her lips. "She's having a good life, what does it have to do with me? Mo Ruhai said that the small business they opened was for Mo Yi, and no one else was allowed to get involved... He doesn't even think about Mo Da and Mo Bao, they are his own sons! Doesn't he think about them at all? Who will offer incense to him when he dies in the future?"
"Shut up!" Wang Xiujuan was getting anxious. "What day is today? Why are you so outspoken? I just realized that you are so stubborn! I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions for your own good! If you don't want to listen, forget it!" She wanted to leave after saying that.
But Wang pulled her and said mysteriously and unwillingly: "Sister, have you seen Mo Yi's dowry list? I was so scared that the prince gave that girl so much... Qizhenlou! I went there once...
I didn’t buy anything. But now it belongs to Mo Yi. It’s her dowry. What if…”
Wang Xiujuan covered Wang's mouth.
"What if? Can't I just call you aunt?" Wang Xiujuan was angry.
"Well... Sister! Listen to me! I still don't understand how to give it. Have the house deeds been transferred? Are the goods inside taken with them? How to hand them over? Have the silver and goods been counted? Do I want Mo Yi's own people to take care of it in the future? These are all things!
What can she know as a little girl? She didn't even tell me... Mo Ruhai, on the other hand, didn't think about any of this and just focused on running the shop! Qizhenlou belongs to Mo Yi, how could she still be interested in that shop? She's deliberately trying to piss me off!"
The more Wang spoke, the angrier she became.
"What? Are you still thinking about going to Qizhen Tower?" Wang Xiujuan glared at her hatefully.
I was thinking about what to do with this girl… The previous ones were fine, but they ended up causing trouble in the Mo family.
But if she was so reckless and talked nonsense in front of the prince, she would be in real trouble.
"No! How could it be? I was just thinking about it..." Wang refused to admit it. But she secretly hated that Mo Yi was a girl who had her own ideas. If she had good things in the future, she would not think about her mother's family.
At this moment, she had forgotten all the benefits brought by Mo Yi...
As they were talking, Mo Wen and his wife's car arrived at the door.
There was an inconspicuous little car parked at the bend of the road, with a corner of the curtain opened, revealing a pair of frighteningly bright eyes staring at him.
Xu Ke came down first, then he turned around and supported Mo Wen who was behind him.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress with black patterns and got out of the car with a smile. She blushed slightly when she saw her husband helping her.
Inside the door, Mo Fan came out dressed neatly, greeted Xu Ke, and then the two of them went in, chatting and laughing, with Mo Wen following quietly behind them...
Princess Yu'an in the car saw all of this, her hands clenched tightly as she tried to lift the curtain, shaking with hatred.
Well, he's here after all!
Still holding her...
She closed her eyes, and at this moment, she was a little shaken: Is her obsession with the East really meaningful?
Two years ago, when he first got together with Xu Ke, he was very devoted to her and once said that he wanted to be with her forever.
But at that time, I didn't want to at all.
Because: She couldn't kill Dongfang, but she didn't want to let him go just like that!
So, I just want to wait until...the day comes when I can do whatever I want to him.
However, when Xu Ke got engaged and got married, she found herself unable to live without Xu Ke.
The thought of him and Mo Wen making love in bed made her jealous to the point of going crazy.
And Xu Ke never mentioned the possible future of the two of them again...
Now, seeing them socializing in public as a couple with my own eyes, my heart hurts as if it were being cut.
Although my obsession with Xu Ke is different from my obsession with Dongfang, it seems to have penetrated deep into my bones...
"Excuse me, could you please move aside for a moment? My daughter is getting married today, and the bridal sedan will be here soon! Thank you so much!" The Mo family's doorman gave Princess Yu'an a reward for her carriage.
Princess Yu'an was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She wanted to order the guards driving the carriage to beat people up...
Then I heard the doorman say, "The one who came to marry my daughter is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"
The pride in the voice...
"Let's go!" Princess Yu'an ordered in a low voice.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Jing, dressed in his wedding attire and riding his big black horse, came to pick up the bride in person.
Sometimes, at the royal wedding ceremony, the groom does not necessarily have to be present in person, he can just follow the ceremony.
If he comes in person, it means he likes the bride very much!
A crowd of people immediately poured out of the door, with firecrackers blasting and laughter ringing.
At this moment, Mo Ruhai realized that Mo Yi was going to get married. He felt heartbroken when he thought that he would not be able to see his daughter's smiling face and enjoy her care every day when he returned home.
The eye circles turned red for a while, then red again.
Most of the Mohists saw Li Jing for the first time. Then, the excitement of the initial welcome disappeared, and everyone became honest and respectful.
There is no such process as making things difficult for the groom, asking for money by giving him questions or poems, etc.
Moreover, the pressure was so great that everyone wanted him to take the person away quickly so that they could continue to have fun.
But the prince was very generous and prepared all kinds of wedding money.
Besides, it’s all gold…
The first ones who couldn't hold back were the kids... When they got it, their eyes sparkled...
The shrewdness and calculation that Wang had shown when talking to her sister disappeared. She lowered her head and kept silent, hiding behind her husband.
Mo Ruhai's eyes were moist: "Your Majesty, Mo Yi is a good girl, I hope you will treat her well!"
Mo Rushan stood beside him, ready to stop his second brother from talking nonsense. But it turned out to be okay... After saying this, the silly second brother began to wipe his tears.
Li Jing nodded: "Don't worry!"
Is this considered a promise?
They came to pick her up at noon. The bridal sedan swayed gently as it was carried into the palace with great fanfare. After a series of cumbersome formalities, they entered the bridal chamber and bowed in the hall.
After sitting on the wedding bed, it was already evening.
Li Jing lifted the veil, and the red candles burned brightly, reflecting Mo Yi's carefully painted face.
She was no longer the peaceful and pretty girl she used to be, but had become fresh and delicate...
Li Jing's heart tightened... and he stared at her silently.
But Mo Yi hasn't figured it out yet. There's shyness in his eyes, but mostly curiosity.
They looked at each other for a moment and smiled gently.
"There are guests ahead, and I have to entertain them. You...wait for me to come back."
Li Jing asked the stepmother-type author: Where is the bridal chamber as promised?
