"Yes, the betrothal gift is really too much." Bai Tianhao was also worried.
The betrothal gift is as important as the dowry.
The betrothal gift represents the man's importance to the woman.
The dowry represents the bride's mother's respect for her and the bride's confidence.
They saw and knew how much the Gu family valued Yanyan, but...! They couldn't give her such strong support. They couldn't let Yanyan's marriage become a laughing stock.
They couldn't let others think that the Bai family was coveting the Gu family's betrothal gift; nor could they let the Gu family think that they could bully Yanyan at will because she was not valued in her family.
Bai Tianhao and Erdaye were both so overwhelmed that their lungs almost exploded.
Some time ago, the Gu family came to the Bai family's house to propose marriage, and then the betrothal gifts were delivered. At first, there were only ten boxes, which was not a lot. The two of them went to count the Bai family's assets.
Ten boxes of treasures plus other silks and satins, the Bai family can afford double!
With this double amount of dowry, Yanyan should not be looked down upon if she married into the family. However, unexpectedly, the Gu family continued to send betrothal gifts the next day. They sent gifts for several days in a row, filling up the Bai family's house, and then there was no more betrothal gifts.
Then there were other things listed on the betrothal gift list.
One divine-grade spirit vein mine, three ninth-grade spirit vein mines, and half of the Ao Yue Empire's treasury... Just one of these ninth-grade spirit vein mines is enough to crush the Bai family, let alone three!
"Uncle, Second Uncle, what are you worried about?"
Bai Yanyan jumped down curiously and came to them. "Do you want me to help you find a solution?"
"Need not!"
"Really? You seem to be in a difficult situation. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. I'm not a child anymore. I'm very useful!"
"No!" The two were firm.
Are you kidding? The Bai family is not so poor that they have to pay for their daughter's dowry themselves. Even if they are really too poor to afford it, her father Bai Yun should take care of it!
The two of them almost immediately threw away the troubling issue, "Your father will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it, just focus on preparing!"
Bai Yanyan: ???
What are you preparing for?!
She was completely confused, while Bai Tianhao and the second uncle ran towards the study with the list in their arms.
In the study, there is a soul jade created by Bai Yun using his spiritual consciousness. That soul jade can contact Bai Yun, but it can only be used once. They have never used it before, and now is the time!
"What..." Bai Yanyan was confused, she was just too hungry.
With the house in such a state, she probably couldn't cook any meals, and she hadn't eaten the delicious food in the imperial city for a long time. Bai Yanyan jumped onto the wall again, thinking of climbing over it to get out.
But when she walked along the wall to the gate and looked at the street in front of her, she felt a little unfamiliar.
Although the Bai family is one of the four great families and is located in the center of the imperial city, there is only one family around the Bai family - the Hua family.
The Hua family and the Bai family are not side by side or facing each other, but the wall of the Hua family is next to the wall of the Bai family. There are no other families except the Hua family. After all, they cannot afford the risk of having a big hole smashed into them.
The ground outside the Bai family's gate and extending to the street was made of lapis lazuli, but the lapis lazuli had turned into fire stone, a stone with the color of flame, fiery and beautiful. There were more trees around, and red lanterns and red silk cloths were hung on those trees. Even the two stone lions guarding the gate had two red hydrangeas hanging around their necks.
Bai Yanyan: ???
What's going on?
Could it be that I have gone crazy from refining the elixir and am having an illusion?
In confusion, she saw a handsome figure walking towards her.
The man was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe that was well-tailored. He had a slim and upright figure and walked slowly, like the bright moon in the sky, with an indescribable nobility and elegance.
Bai Yanyan stood on the wall, looking at Gu Yunzhou who was slowly walking towards her, a bright smile blooming on her little face.
"Yan Yan."
Gu Yunzhou stood in front of her and looked up at her.
There was a smile on the corner of his lips and his eyes were gentle, and then he slowly opened his hands.
Bai Yanyan jumped down from the wall without any hesitation and fell directly into Gu Yunzhou's arms, being held tightly in his arms.
"I missed you, darling."
Her feet were dangling in the air, but she didn't care. She believed that Gu Yunzhou would not let her fall, so she reached out and hugged his neck tightly, kissed him on the lips, and then smiled sweetly: "Did you miss me?"
"think."
Gu Yunzhou met her eyes and said word by word, "I miss you very much."
I haven't seen Yanyan for more than half a month since I came back.
He tried to come over several times, but was stopped by Xiaotian.
Xiaotian said that in order to get the Bai family to agree to his marriage with Yanyan, he could not go to see Yanyan after the Bai family responded and confirmed the engagement, saying that it would be bad if someone from the Bai family saw it and it would have a bad influence on Yanyan.
So he held back.
Didn't come to visit.
Well…there’s wall climbing at night.
Seeing Yanyan refining the elixir, he did not disturb her.
"Really?"
Bai Yanyan kissed him again, then asked, "But how did you come by chance? I was just thinking of going out for a walk, and you came over."
“We’re on the same page.”
Gu Yunzhou was serious about what he said, so Bai Yanyan believed it.
Pulling his hand to touch her hungry belly, Gu Yunzhou immediately understood and held her hand in return, "There's a new restaurant opened in the Imperial City. Can I take you there?"
"good."
The newly opened restaurant is Ruyan Restaurant.
Gu Yunzhou took her to the private room on the third floor. Not long after they sat down, someone brought pastries over.
They were all small cakes that Bai Yanyan liked to eat, as well as flower cakes and mung bean cakes. Bai Yanyan took a few bites and found something was wrong. The taste seemed a bit like what she had eaten in China.
It took a while to eat the pastries.
Then the dishes were served.
Bai Yanyan was even happier when she saw the dish and the copper pot in the middle.
this!
It’s hot pot!
Real copper pot hot pot!
"This is……"
"This is hot pot." Gu Yunzhou did not hide it from her, "This restaurant is opened by Situ Yan."
Bai Yanyan:!!!
No wonder, Situ Yan also traveled through time like her, so she naturally knew dishes like hot pot. She didn't expect that Situ Yan had opened a restaurant during this period, and when she came in just now, she saw that the restaurant was doing good business.
Bai Yanyan was happy.
After a while, Situ Yan came in.
"Supporting a large family requires a lot of financial resources, and the Situ family has many disciples." Situ Yan said: "Those disciples were selected by me personally. They really want to become stronger, so I want to teach them."
Teaching would require more resources, so she could only develop a side business.
