Chapter 334: Bride Price and Dowry



"My Ali is so nice."

Chen Li raised an eyebrow and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not your house yet.”

After hearing this, Pei Yu acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, I see. Ah Li, are you urging me to propose marriage quickly?"

Shen Li glanced at him and said, "Come on, tell me, which word in what I just said means this?"

"No," Pei Yu shook his head, then continued, "Although you may not mean that, Ali, but when it comes to me, that's what it means. Don't worry, I will try my best."

The corners of Chen Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He didn't expect that his ears had such a function.

"Then do your best."

Pei Yu smiled even brighter. Ali didn't refuse, so it was time to pack the things needed for the marriage proposal.

At this moment, I can't help but imagine the days after getting married in my mind.

Chen Li just watched the man opposite her burst into happy laughter, as if there was some great joyful event.

If only I had a camera or a cell phone, I could record his silly behavior and leave it for him to see later.

Thinking of this, Chen Li simply propped up her chin and stared at him. Without a mobile phone and a camera, doesn't he still have his hands?

I haven't mastered the complicated art of painting yet, so when the time comes, I can just draw a few sketches. Sketches are simpler and more direct, but they don't have colors. These are all minor issues.

Pei Yu quickly came back to his senses and saw the person opposite him staring at him, "What's wrong, Ah Li, is there something on my face?"

"No, I just saw you smiling so happily just now, and I wanted to know what good things you were thinking about."

The smile on Pei Yu's lips froze for a moment, and then he changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

"Ali, let's go. I made some jewelry for you. Let me show you."

"OK!"

For women, beautiful things are always irresistible, let alone if it is given by their loved one, the meaning is even more different.

The two came to the small warehouse in Pei Yu's yard. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two rows of cloths squatting at the door. There were rich colors and both light and dark colors. The cloths were all from the same source.

"Why do you have so much fabric here?"

Pei Yu pulled her in and said, "You're talking about these. These are what I've collected during my time here. I'll slowly send people to the capital, and then select some and send them to Suzhou for you."

"Is this all prepared for me?"

"Well, there are some clothes here. Come and take a look. If you like any of them, you can pick some to take home."

It is undeniable that at this moment, Chen Li was very happy. She was not short of money and she could buy these things, but the gifts from Pei Yu had a different meaning.

Especially in this warehouse, there are everything from cloth and clothes to jewelry and rouge, and even a lot of beautiful toys, such as lanterns and fans.

These things cannot be collected in a short time. It takes time to collect them slowly. The things in this warehouse fully prove that in Pei Yu's heart, she, Chen Li, is very important.

This also indirectly proves that Pei Yu loves her very much, otherwise, with his current position and being so busy, he would not have the time to collect these things.

Only if a person cares about her will he be so attentive, not caring about money, just to make her happy, that is enough.

"Ali, I asked several experienced craftsmen for their opinions on these pieces of jewelry. They said girls your age would like them. Come and take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the three jewelry boxes in front of him. Inside were three different sets of jewelry, carved from white jade, as well as pearls and sapphires.

The jewelry is exquisitely carved, and every gesture seems to be natural. It can be seen at first glance that it was made by a qualified craftsman.

"like."

Pei Yu saw the smile on her face and was sure that she really liked him, and he couldn't help but feel happy too.

She picked up a hairpin and inserted it into her bun, and the tassels hung down. Chen Li tilted her head, and the tassels began to sway gently. Her delicate facial features and extraordinary temperament made him stunned.

Chen Li chuckled and stretched out her hand in front of him, waving it, "Come back to your senses, idiot."

Pei Yu grabbed her hand and said, "Yeah, Ah Li is right. I was stunned."

Chen Li pulled out the hairpin and carefully placed it in the jewelry box. These jewelries were made of precious materials and were not cheap. They were also given by Pei Yu, so they naturally had to be carefully cared for.

"Look here, there are still a lot. Let's send them back to the capital and send them to the Shen family when we propose marriage. How about that?"

"Didn't you just say you would give it to me? Is it time for us to propose marriage now?"

"I was wrong. I kept all of these for Ali. I was collecting some and sending them over when I proposed marriage."

Chen Li leaned lightly against the pillar and said, "I'm kidding you. Don't send so many gifts when you propose marriage, or people will think you're marrying a rich lady!"

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "What are you afraid of? Even if Ah Li is not a rich lady, she is much better than them in my heart. When the time comes, I will give her more than this betrothal gift."

Chen Li took his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not be so high-profile. It's too exaggerated and will attract thieves."

Pei Yu nodded, "Then I understand. When the time comes, these things will be sent to the Shen Mansion in batches in advance and will be used as your dowry. When you get married, they will be carried into the palace together with your dowry."

There was no point in chatting that day. The man kept talking about getting married, as if she was dying to marry him tomorrow.

Pei Yu: Hmm? There's such a good thing?

"Okay, take care of the things in front of you first, and we'll talk about this later."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Chen Li: “…”

Never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with him. It's already been decided, right? Now it's just a matter of time.

"I won't take these Dingxi with me. I'll have someone send them back together when the time comes."

"As long as you like it."

When the two of them came out of the warehouse, they saw the secret guards who had just been sent to take care of Mo Qing coming back.

"Your Highness, Doctor Mo has a fever."

Pei Yu frowned, "Did he pick up the medicine he just prescribed?"

"My Lord, I have found it and it is now alive."

"Okay, I'll go take a look." He turned sideways and looked at Chen Li, "A Li, you..."

"I'll go with you."

"good."

When the two of them arrived at Mo Qing's door hand in hand, medicine was being boiled outside. It seemed that they would have to wait for a while.

When I went in, I saw that Mo Qing was covered with four quilts, and he was curled up inside like a cocoon.

"Mo Xiaohua, come out, let me take a look."

Mo Qing lurched under the covers for a long time before finally poking his head out. "Pei Zian, I told you I wouldn't go, but you insisted I go. Now you're done, aren't you?"

He spoke incoherently, his teeth chattering.

Pei Yu was silent. He wanted to say to him, "Isn't it because you took off your cloak and wrapped the ginseng that you got sick?" But when he thought about his illness, he didn't bother to argue with him.

"Okay, since it's all my fault, give me your ginseng."

When he talked about this, he became energetic, and his whole head was exposed. "You wish!"
