Chapter 325 Are You a Turtle?
"Here."
The servant quickly brought a box over.
However, the box, which is as long as your forearm, doesn’t look like it can hold many good things.
"there is none left"
Marquis Chenyang looked around in confusion.
He had seen the box a long time ago.
But I never thought that this thing would be a betrothal gift.
Marquis Chenyang weighed the box.
Could it be that the contents inside are all land deeds and house deeds?
If that's the case, that's fine.
He opened the box and took a look.
It was full of silver ingots.
It is still crudely built and looks like it takes up a lot of space, but it actually doesn't take up much space.
The total value of this box is no more than two hundred taels of silver.
Marquis Chenyang felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.
humiliation.
This is clearly a humiliation to their Chenyang Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Chenyang threw his hand and overturned the box. "This is outrageous! I will go to the Wang family and ask for an explanation."
He took two servants and rushed to Wang's house angrily.
"My Lord, please go back. My master and young master are already tied up with the wedding. If you have any instructions, I will pass them on to you."
The gatekeeper said a few words and Marquis Chenyang was turned away.
"Okay, okay."
Marquis Chenyang was so angry that his hands were shaking: "The Wang family is really arrogant, let's wait and see."
Everyone in the capital knew that Wang Fugui had spent a fortune to buy a gold hairpin in order to win the smile of his beloved.
Now that he wants to marry the daughter of their Marquis's family, he actually gives them such a shabby gift.
Inside the Wang family's gate, the head of the Wang family and Wang Fugui sat opposite each other at the stone table, brewing tea.
For the Wang family today, this tea that they used to look down upon has become a rare commodity.
The Wang family's patriarch had no interest in drinking tea. He listened to the footsteps at the door gradually fading away and looked at Wang Fugui: "Fugui, if you do this, what if the Lu family gets desperate and jumps over the wall..."
"Then they should cancel the engagement. If the princess hadn't forced the marriage, my Wang Fugui wouldn't have ended up like this."
This marriage was a complete insult to him.
The teacup in his hand was placed heavily on the stone table, causing a crack. "When I find out the relationship between the Lu family and that thief, I will make Lu Xiangrou regret setting her sights on the Wang family."
Five days later.
In the imperial city, there is ten miles of red decoration.
The marriage between the daughter of the Marquis of Chenyang and the Wang family began on time amid various discussions among the people of the imperial city.
Many people who had laughed at this marriage were stunned by the huge wedding procession.
"These are all dowries."
"Isn't it said that the Chenyang Marquis' Mansion is now short of money? How can they still come up with such a large dowry?"
"Look at that box, it's so heavy. The horses pulling the dowry cart are starting to pant."
"This is not that simple. The young master of the Wang family has already said that Lu Xiangrou is not a virgin. She is just a concubine. She is marrying up."
Not to mention these people, even Wang Fugui himself was very surprised.
The Marquis of Chenyang's Mansion actually dared to send so much dowry.
I was rejected at the Wang family's door not long ago. This shouldn't have happened.
Even with Wang Fugui's intelligence, he couldn't figure out a reason.
In the end, we can only conclude that Marquis Chenyang was too concerned about his reputation and revealed his family's assets just to gain face today.
It doesn’t matter, it’s their Wang family who benefited in the end.
Xie Yuyan in the bridal sedan was very proud.
The exclamations from the long street made her raise her chin involuntarily.
No matter what you say, she is still the most popular person today.
Hou Yuanji, who was very keen on laughing at the Wang family, was not happy at all now.
He looked at Di Qi with a depressed look: "What's going on? That old guy Chen Yanghou hid it so deeply. Could it be that our master... ahem, didn't move all the things away?"
Before Di Qi could speak, he denied it himself: "Impossible, even if the dog emperor died now, she would not fail."
Diqi: ...You are good at using metaphors.
He narrowed his eyes and looked downstairs: "You reminded me that Chen Yanghou's show of force must be a bluff."
Hou Yuanji instantly became excited: "What are you going to do?"
Di Qi didn't say anything, but just split a piece of bamboo from the bamboo curtain beside the window, concentrated his mind and stared at the team below.
When the wedding procession was about to pass by the window, Di Qi flicked the bamboo silk in his hand.
The horse pulling the dowry felt pain, raised its front hooves, and started charging around wildly.
The other horses were also frightened and started to flutter around.
In an instant, all the dowry on the carriage fell down.
The box fell heavily to the ground.
The box looks thick, but it is actually terribly brittle.
After being hit like this, almost no one was left alive.
And what rolled out of the box was even more jaw-dropping.
"The daughter of Lord Shitou is getting married, and her dowry is all stones"
"Let me see, it's real. With such a big show, the stones and boxes combined are not even as expensive as the red cloth on the ground."
"The people in Chenyang Marquis' Mansion are really good at playing. Isn't this just a slap in the face of the Wang family?"
"There's something interesting to watch. If this happy event can continue, the Wang family will really become a bunch of losers. Being pushed to the ground like this, even ordinary people like us can't swallow this breath."
Hou Yuanji upstairs was completely excited: "I said that the Wang family and the Chenyang Marquis's Mansion are both poor, even if they pooled their money together, they couldn't come up with such a large dowry. There really is something fishy going on."
This time I really made a fortune.
Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, the Wang and Lu families will become the laughing stock of the people in the capital.
In the sedan chair, Lu Xiangrou pulled off her veil, leaned against the window, and looked at the stones on the ground in disbelief.
How is it possible?
How could this be?
This is her lifelong event, how could Marquis Chenyang do this?
Even if you want to save face, can't you be more considerate?
Wang Fugui, who was sitting on a tall horse in front, was attracted by the farce in the team.
After hearing the situation clearly, I felt dizzy.
He looked into the team and saw Lu Xiangrou's frightened face.
The half of the face covered with the hideous scar was facing Wang Fugui.
The already scary face became distorted with fear, which made Wang Fugui feel nauseous.
He was actually tricked by such a despicable person.
When had Wang Fugui ever suffered such a loss? Even Xie Jingci was hurt by him...
Wang Fugui looked at Lu Xiangrou with a terrifying look in his eyes.
He gripped the reins tightly, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping out of it.
With everyone looking at him like a laughingstock, Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a few words: "Pack your things and continue."
The whole audience was shocked.
Even Hou Yuanji, who had always been at odds with him, was dumbfounded: "Is this Wang Fugui a cuckold? He can even tolerate this?"
Di Qi stared at Wang Fugui on horseback with deep eyes: "This character is a bit scary. If we don't do anything about it, it may become a big disaster.
No, I must report the situation here immediately so that the masters can make a decision sooner rather than later."
