Lian Muhan sighed: "It's really unimaginative and boring..."
He pouted, and An Qingran finally couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, thank you!"
She reached out and took the two dolls. Who else except Dongfang Jin would have such a cool expression?
"Hey, now that you're married, there won't be many fun people in the general's mansion anymore, and I won't be as willing to come as before."
"So you came to the general's mansion to have fun? And how come I was having fun? How come I didn't know it?" An Qingran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I won't say anymore..." Lian Muhan said and turned to leave.
"Wait, you also went to the last time Dongfang Ruoxue had a party. Did you talk to Princess Dongfang?" An Qingran was more concerned about them.
Lian Muhan seemed to be missing a nerve at this moment. He frowned and said, "She is the master, so of course we have a conversation. But why are you asking this? Last time you went to a party, you disappeared, and I haven't even asked you where you were going."
"Don't worry about what I do. I want to ask you, have you kept the painting that Dongfang Ruoxue gave you well? Did you not give it away to anyone else?" An Qingran was actually very worried that someone in the market would suddenly sell the painting.
That would be life-threatening.
"That painting? It's a treasure, I don't want to give it away... By the way, where should I put my painting?" Lian Muchan was thinking.
An Qingran was speechless.
"Oh, I remember now. It's in the warehouse. I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. I have to pack it up and mount it. In case I get down and out someday, this can save my life." Lian Muhan said without blushing.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." An Qingran said.
"Oh, what did you say just now?" Lian Muhan asked again.
An Qingran pursed her lips, making it clear that she would not say a word, which made Lian Muhan smile: "Okay, you are about to get married, but you are still so stubborn. I get it, I will protect the painting."
"Keep it well." An Qingran finally couldn't help but correct him.
"Yes, keep it well."
Lian Muhan finally left.
Looking at his back, An Qingran smiled helplessly. It was really hard to describe her cousin in a few words. She had no idea what his personality was like, nor what he was thinking.
In her previous life, after she got together with Dongfang Ye, she became estranged from her cousin. Many things happened later, but she was sure that their relationship in the previous life was not good, and it could not even be considered a friendship between gentlemen.
In this life, she knew that he was a caring person and someone who valued feelings. Although she said she blamed him for proposing marriage, she was touched in her heart. He did not have any love between men and women for her, but rather a brotherly and sisterly affection. He was afraid that she would be wronged. After all, he was her relative.
night.
The window frame creaked softly.
It's Oriental Brocade again.
An Qingran's face flushed: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?" Dongfang Jin asked, "Don't you know why I'm here?"
"Maybe he's afraid that I'll run away, or that you'll pass by." An Qingran said mischievously.
"Yes, I was just passing by..." Dongfang Jin put his arm around her waist affectionately, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said with a rogue tone, "Don't chase me away..."
"So are you planning to live here? That's strange." An Qingran said unhappily.
Dongfang Jin was about to say something when he suddenly saw the two dolls on the table. He reached out and took them, staring at them: "Who gave this to you?"
“Why can’t I carve it myself?”
"Did you carve it yourself?" Dongfang Jin believed it.
However, An Qingran still told the truth and said that it was given by Lian Muhan.
Dongfang Jin's expression changed several times, and the corners of his mouth pulled down, a little unhappy: "Can you give this to me?"
"My cousin gave it to me."
"Oh." Dongfang Jin said "oh" and then smiled, as if nothing had happened.
He kept asking An Qingran questions, mainly to see how she was preparing.
An Qingran joked, "Are you here to find out how much my dowry is? Are you worried that the betrothal gift is too cheap?"
"Yes, we are from a humble family, and we are honored to marry into your family..." Dongfang Jin smiled and kissed her. An Qingran wanted to push him away, but for some reason, his aura seemed to confuse her and made her dizzy.
After Dongfang Jin left, An Qingran couldn't find the two little dolls.
Wasn’t it taken away by Dongfang Jin?
An Qingran couldn't believe it.
They are just a pair of ordinary dolls, and he is jealous?
Do I really want to marry this jealous person?
But then she smiled. It turned out that he had put the two little dolls into her jewelry box at some point. It was obvious that he didn't want to see other men giving her gifts.
East warm room.
The yard was filled with boxes, big and small, all with their lids open.
Matron Hong and the maids were looking through something. An Qingran saw her mother buried her head in a box, searching for something.
An Qingran approached and found that the box was full of various furs. There were so many furs put together, but there was no strange smell. It was obvious that they were well taken care of.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" An Qingran finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm... Qingran, now that you're here, come and help me. I plan to make ten pairs of white fox skins for you, but I'm still missing one, so I'm looking for the right ones."
"Make it up for me?"
"Yes, your dowry."
"This..." An Qingran's face turned red. She looked at the things in the yard and said, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble, mother. If there aren't ten pairs, just one pair will do as a token of our appreciation."
"How can that be possible? My daughter is the Crown Princess. How can it be enough to just show some appreciation?" Lian Jinyu said as she began to search again. "I remember that I had prepared these things in the early years. There were five pairs of good leather in my dowry. It shouldn't be difficult to make ten."
"Mother, have you taken out all your dowry?" This made An Qingran shocked.
"Of course, if mother's dowry is not left to her daughter, who should it be left to?"
"But after all, that was left to you by grandma."
"That's why it has to be passed down. Don't just stand here. Come and help me see if there are enough green jade bracelets over there for fifty pairs. And I have prepared seven Ruyi bracelets over there, but the styles are a little different. Two of the handles don't have gems inlaid on them, so they are ordinary. But the two pieces of Tiancan silk that mother has are the best. They were tributed from the west two years ago, so they can be taken out... Come and take a look at the letter. There are ten sets of clothes here. Although there are palace costumes in the palace, you don't wear these clothes, so it's good to take them out and look at them from time to time..."
When she said this, Lian Jinyu's voice was a little choked up and she turned her head away.
