Chapter 32: I don't have any skills, I can only do some small business
Someone immediately responded:
"Don't you know? That's the dowry of the Princess Regent! There's so much of it that it's arranged in two rows, and it still stretches out for more than two streets!"
"Hiss... this is too much! Doesn't that mean the dowries of the Crown Prince's wife and concubines combined cannot match this?"
"Of course not. The Regent Princess's dowry is many times more than the dowries of the Crown Prince's two concubines!"
Everyone's attention was focused on the two endless lines of dowry, and Yun Bailian and Su Yurou were completely ignored.
Hiss!
Yun Bailian was so angry that she subconsciously pulled her sleeve, but she used too much force and tore it.
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked at the red wedding dress with a tear in it and became panic-stricken.
There was suddenly another commotion outside the car.
"Huh? Why are you all running over there? What happened?"
"Grab the wedding candy! Do you still have time to sit here and watch the fun?"
"No, aren't there people distributing wedding candies to the Crown Princess and the Concubine? It doesn't matter where you pick it up."
"What the hell! The candy wrappers at the Regent Princess' place are filled with small change!"
"Hiss! Wait for me!"
"Hurry up! If you're late you won't be able to grab it!"
In the blink of an eye, all the noise faded away, and it was obvious that there was no one here anymore.
Yun Bailian's face was dull for a moment.
Is Yun Qingqing crazy? She actually threw silver as wedding candy!
That's not right. She knows very well how much money there is in the Yun family. Even if she took back all the wealth her father had saved, there wouldn't be that much. And it's impossible for her grandfather to empty out the family fortune as a dowry for her. Where did she get so much money!
Could it be that the Regent is backing her up?
Yun Bailian was almost furious, but Su Yurou in the other sedan sneered.
With the Yun family's financial resources, how could they possibly afford such a large dowry and even spend money to show off their generosity!
They must be being clever and prepared a lot of worthless things to make up the number! Or maybe the boxes are just empty!
She snorted, called the nanny who was accompanying the team and whispered a few instructions to her.
Mammy smiled knowingly:
"Understood! Let the Yun family pretend to be rich. I will send someone to expose them. This time, the Yun family will lose face in front of the whole city!"
Not long after, the crowd that was crowding around Yun Qingqing's wedding gift team to grab the wedding candy suddenly became chaotic.
Several burly men took advantage of the chaos to rush to the gift boxes and knocked over several porters in succession. The boxes fell to the ground one after another, and the lids were opened, revealing the contents.
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Oh my god! What is that that blinded me?"
"This whole box is full of gold and silver jewelry! How much is it worth!"
"And this box is full of the finest jade and jewelry. I have never seen so many in my life!"
"My family runs a jewelry store, and these are all Mingzhenfang jewelry! All the rich and powerful in Beijing are flocking to them! They are actually used as dowries in boxes? This is too scary!"
"My sixth uncle's family runs a cloth shop, and that box is full of Jinxiu Pavilion's Liuhuaduan! Oh my god, each piece of cloth costs tens of thousands of taels of silver! A handkerchief is enough for those dignitaries to show off, but they actually took out a whole box!"
The maid who was mixed in the crowd changed her expression and shouted:
"Oh, so the Yun family is so rich? Then why do they only give such a big show to one daughter? Isn't this too much favoritism?"
The big men got her look and immediately started to follow her lead:
"Yes, the second young lady is also getting married today, but her dowry is only a fraction of the eldest young lady's. This is a bit unreasonable."
"I've heard that Miss Yun is domineering. It seems that she even wants to steal other people's dowry when she gets married. She only cares about her own appearance!"
"This is too much. The second young lady of the Yun family only has such a small dowry. Compared with the eldest young lady, she is extremely poor. Could it be that she is deliberately trying to embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The people sent by the Su Mansion kept talking back and forth, trampling on the entire Yun Mansion. Anyway, today only their own eldest Miss Su can come to the limelight!
Suddenly someone laughed loudly:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all! I'm Yan Hongshan, Yun Qingqing's maternal grandfather. I don't have much talent and can only run a small business. Jinxiu Pavilion and Mingzhenfang are both assets of my Yan family!"
"Thank you all for your support! You can get a 20% discount if you bring the wedding candy wrappers to any of our stores next day!"
A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd, instantly overwhelming the malicious sarcasm!
Yun Qingqing in the wedding sedan: ...
My grandfather is indeed a businessman. He can even use this scene as an opportunity to promote himself.
Many people in the crowd suddenly realized:
"The Yan family! Aren't they the richest family in Jiangbei? They have more than just these properties. It turns out that Yun Qingqing's grandfather's family is so rich!"
"That's right. That's the property of my grandfather's family. It has nothing to do with the second branch of the Yun family! How dare you say that Miss Yun stole someone else's dowry?"
"Mr. Yan is so generous! When my daughter gets married next time, I will go to Jinxiu Pavilion to buy the dowry!"
"I'll go too. Although it's too expensive for ordinary people like me to afford, if I own even one piece of jewelry from Mingzhenfang, I'll be very proud!"
“…”
Yan Hongshan bowed repeatedly:
"Thank you all for your kindness! Today is Qingqing's big day. All the goods in all the shops under my Yan's name will be discounted on this day every year from now on!"
Even louder cheers broke out from the crowd, and the atmosphere became boiling!
"My wife has been wanting to buy some nice jewelry for a long time. I'll ask her to go with us later!"
"Mr. Yan, hey, there's already a discount today, does this candy wrapper still count? Can I get another discount?"
"In the past, we could only watch the weddings of the rich and powerful and at most grab a few pieces of wedding candy. But today, not only are the wedding candies wrapped in silver, but we can also get big discounts at Mingzhen Pavilion and Jinxiufang!"
"This is all the good fortune brought by the Regent Princess!"
"I wish the Regent and the Princess a happy wedding! May they have a baby soon!"
"Happily ever after! Good luck and blessings to you!"
Yun Qingqing: ...
Grandpa is awesome.
Yan Hongshan looked at the backs of several people who were retreating in dejected manner in the crowd, then glanced at the dowry teams of the other two families, and suddenly sneered.
He called the servant and gave him a few instructions, then spurred his horse around to catch up.
Su Yurou didn't expect that she failed to expose the truth, and instead Yun Qingqing stole the limelight. She was sulking when she suddenly heard a commotion not far behind her, followed by the sound of "bang bang".
"Look, the dowry of the Su family and Miss Yun Er has also been overturned!"
"I thought I was going to see some great treasures, but why are the last few boxes still empty?"
"I never thought that the Prime Minister would use empty boxes as dowry when marrying off his daughter! Is he not satisfied that the Crown Prince only gave her the title of concubine? Hahahaha!"
"Then Miss Yun is the principal wife, but there are so many empty boxes to make up the number. How do you explain that?"
"Then you are really poor, hahahaha. Today's incident is really an eye-opener!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Su Yurou and Yun Bailian were both stunned.
How could my dowry be an empty box!
This is different from what we agreed!
