Baoer didn't expect Tong Jiaqingheng to be so good at talking. Although she was not very impressed by him, she felt quite satisfied when she saw the gentle look on his handsome face.
When Yinzhen saw that this boy was actually flirting with Baoer under his nose, he snorted coldly, "Well, you better behave yourself."
Then he said to Baoer, "Baoer, since the emperor has granted you a marriage, you don't have to feel embarrassed. If he can serve you well in the future, you can keep him. If he makes you angry, I will punish him."
"Don't worry, as your husband, I will help you manage the backyard."
"That's right, Ninth brother will manage the backyard well." Yinzhen had already discussed with Ninth brother before coming. The backyard would be taken care of by Yinzhen. Although the two had equal status, Yinzhen was willing to give in and let his brother establish the authority of the principal wife.
He would never compete with his brother. Moreover, the two brothers had to fight together against Qing Heng, the vixen, and Nian Gengyao, the sinister one.
Bao Er was a little embarrassed when he heard him say this. "Oh, I know. I just always feel that this is not good. But don't worry, I will try my best to be good to you all."
Then Bao Er said to Qing Heng, "Although you were also given to me by the Emperor, you know that I don't have that much affection for you right now. But when we become a family in the future, we can try to slowly cultivate our relationship."
Qingfu looked at Baoer with excitement and said, "Thank you, Baoer, thank you for giving me a chance."
"Thank you, His Majesty. You're such a kind man," he said, his heart aching. He'd always been afraid Bao'er wouldn't accept him, but he hadn't expected Bao'er to actually be willing to develop a relationship with him. He felt so blessed.
Yin'er and Yin? Seeing that he was so happy because Bao'er gave him a word, the two of them snorted in disdain at the same time.
Hearing him thank the Emperor, he was furious. His carelessness had provoked two rivals in love. He felt sick to his stomach. But he couldn't show it in front of Bao'er.
"Ahem," Baoer coughed twice, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said to them, "Actually, I couldn't believe it when I heard the emperor's decree granting me marriage. I don't know what other wealthy families are like. But since it has come to this, I also hope that our family can live in harmony. Do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen first said, "Don't worry, Baoer, as long as they don't cause trouble, I won't make trouble for no reason either."
Yin nodded quickly after hearing this, "Bao'er is right, we will all be a family from now on."
Qingheng also said gently, "Baoer, whatever you say, I'll do as you say."
If you ignore the fighting in their eyes.
Seeing everyone's opinions, Baoer decided not to say anything more about this matter and turned to other topics.
"The reason I asked you to come here this time is not only for us to communicate with each other, but also for the matter of your betrothal gifts."
Baoer said this with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
"As you know, my family's situation is like this. Even if I give you all my assets, it probably won't be enough for one family. So I want to ask you how to solve this problem."
Also, the house at home is still too small. After we get married, there will be no room for us to live in it. I guess you all have your own yard at home. I can't let you all live in one yard after you marry me. So my plan is to buy a big house before we get married, at least enough for each of us to have our own yard."
"Also, in order to make it convenient for you to go to the government office in the future, I plan to buy a place closer to your office. So I want to ask if anyone has information about a suitable house."
Before Yin'er and the others arrived, they had only thought Bao'er was going to talk about buying a house, so they had already made preparations. Who would have thought there would be a betrothal gift involved?
It was us who knew about Baoer's family situation from the beginning. How could we not have noticed it and let Baoer be in such a difficult situation?
He and Yin'er also looked a little annoyed when they heard this. It was obvious that they were too busy having fun to think about these things.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Yinzhen said with an apologetic look, "I didn't think carefully about the betrothal gift. I actually want you, Baoer, to worry about us."
Then Yinzhen said, "By the way, I brought all my belongings here, come and take a look."
"And me"
"And me"
Several people said this in unison, no one wanted to be outdone by their love rival.
Yinzhen took out the small box he had brought with him from the table, opened it and saw a thick stack of silver notes inside, all of which were worth one hundred taels.
"There are 150,000 taels of silver in here. 50,000 taels are what I earned in the past two years, and the rest are my New Year's money. The other 50,000 taels are given to me by my mother. Keep them well and use them to buy the betrothal gifts when the time comes."
"You're welcome. These are my dowry. When we get married, I guess my father will have to prepare dowries for us. You know, each of us princes has 200,000 yuan to open a mansion. I think I will have at least 150,000 yuan by then, and I will give it all to you."
Seeing this, Yin Yu pulled out an envelope from his sleeve, which also contained banknotes. "Bao'er, this is mine. There are a total of 120,000 taels in it. 100,000 taels are left to me by my mother, and the rest is my daily pocket money. When the emperor gives me a dowry, the betrothal gift will come from here."
Qing Heng also stepped forward, his cheeks slightly red, and said embarrassedly, "Bao'er, this is 70,000 taels. It comes from the pocket money I saved over the years, and the 50,000 taels dowry that my father gave me yesterday. I give it all to you. I hope you don't think it's too little."
Bao Er was so moved that she choked up and said, "How can you all be so kind?" Then she wiped her tears carelessly and said with a bright smile, "Since you all trust me so much, then I won't be shy with you. I'll keep it for now. If you want to use it, just tell me anytime."
Seeing Bao'er accept it without any hesitation, Yin'er and the others smiled with relief. They were very happy that Bao'er was not shy.
Then Yinzhen looked at Baoer and said, "You should know that you will be the head of our family in the future. Of course we trust you."
"Yes, from now on I will give you all my money."
Baoer looked at the pile of banknotes in front of her, her eyes sparkling, and she thought to herself, "Who would have thought that I, Lin Baoer, would become rich just by being granted a marriage by the Emperor?"
However, I still secretly swore in my heart that I must give them more credit in the future and not let them be hurt at any time.
Thinking of Baoer wanting to buy a house, Yu Yin was the first to speak. "I asked my uncle, which street near his house is full of the residences of the first and second rank ministers of the court."
"A while ago, the Minister of Rites retired due to his old age. His children were not very successful, so the whole family planned to return to their hometown. So he wanted to sell his house. It was a five-story house. I asked someone yesterday and it was about 15,000 taels."
Baoer exclaimed, "It's so expensive, are there any smaller yards around it? My father and mother don't plan to live with us, they think it would be uncomfortable, so I plan to buy a big one for us to live in, and then buy a small one next door for them."
Yin smiled happily. "It's a bit expensive, but the layout of the house is really nice. I don't know if there's a smaller yard next to it, but I'll ask when the time comes."
