Chapter 815: Dowry (4)
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
This Prince Rui is so devoted to Shen Miao, why does it seem like... he really loves Shen Miao?
Is this possible? Shen Miao has only met Prince Rui a few times!
Luo Ling's eyes were so dim that almost no light could be seen. He lowered his head to look at the ground, as if he could see a flower on the ground.
The people in the room all had different expressions. Shen Miao's reaction seemed rather calm. She nodded and said to Tie Yi, "Thank you very much."
Tieyi hurriedly said he didn't dare, and explained that something would be delivered in a few days before leaving.
After Tie Yi left, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Xin and Luo Xueyan had already noticed something unusual. If the purpose of King Rui was to sow discord between the Shen family and the Mingqi royal family, or to prevent the Shen family from being used by the Mingqi royal family, then when the imperial edict came down, King Rui's goal had already been achieved.
Now that the goal has been achieved, other matters are unimportant. Why put on such a big show? No matter how much silver there is, it won't be enough. Unless Daliang's treasury is small and can't accommodate the silver, they will eagerly run to Mingqi and hand over this overwhelming wealth to the Shen family as a dowry.
Isn't this a waste of time?
Shen Qiuwei had noticed this, but he angrily said, "This Prince Rui is like a weasel paying New Year's greeting to a chicken, isn't he? He gave so many things, thinking that my Shen family is greedy for wealth and status? We are marrying our daughter, not selling her. With so much silver, who knows what others will think of the Shen family."
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were silent.
Indeed, even the royal family would be jealous of this betrothal gift, let alone ordinary people. Even more amazing was that it was sent by Prince Rui of Daliang. Even those who had concerns about the betrothal gift dared not act rashly, but could only stare at it with envy. Who knows how many people in Dingjing City were unable to sleep that night. Especially Shen Xin's enemies, they were probably vomiting blood.
Luo Tan smiled and said, "No matter what, it's much better for my brother-in-law to be generous than to be stingy. As for a man, a good man is one who is willing to spend money on a girl. He gave so many things to my cousin before she even got married. If my cousin gets married, she won't be treated badly in terms of food, clothing and other daily necessities." Luo Tan always spoke straightforwardly and didn't know how to conceal his feelings. But the word "brother-in-law" made people's eyes ache.
Shen Xin covered his head: "Where are these things going to be piled up again?"
"Yes," Luo Xueyan said worriedly, "Our house can't hold so many things. The storeroom alone can't hold the jewelry and antiques, let alone furniture, fabrics, and so on. Should we build a separate granary in the mansion to store the things?"
Shen Miao wanted to laugh after hearing this, and continued, "Didn't he buy all those houses? After he leaves, those houses will all belong to the Shen family. How about buying a few guards and putting some things over there? Or maybe just living in Prince Rui's mansion would be fine."
Chen Xin shook his head: "Yanqing Lane is not a place we can live in." That is where the royal family lives. If Chen Xin and his friends move in, who knows what outsiders will think. Thinking of what Tieyi said before, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "He will leave after the New Year. Jiaojiao, you..."
After the New Year, Shen Miao will go to Daliang.
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Separation, especially separation between relatives, is never a pleasant thing.
Seeing this, Shen Miao was afraid that they would feel sentimental again, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Prince Rui has given so many betrothal gifts, how should the dowry be calculated?"
Luo Tan was feeling a little thirsty, so she took a sip of tea from the table. Upon hearing this, she spat out the tea, spraying it all over Luo Ling. But at the moment, she didn't care whether Luo Ling's clothes were soiled or not. Instead, she asked, "Dowry? Oh my God!"
