Seeing Feng Jinyuan accept the betrothal gift, Madam Zhou nodded and said, "Lord Feng is very righteous and worthy of being the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty. [ads: This site has a new URL, shorthand method: ,..]" After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and someone outside the door immediately began to carry things into the mansion according to the gift list.
The worst thing was that it would have been fine if they just moved the things in, but there happened to be a eunuch from the Prince Yu's Palace standing at the door and singing the gift list. With each sound, Feng Jinyuan always had the urge to ask someone to tear his mouth apart, but he really didn't dare. Eunuchs were things that the masters in the palace could beat and punish, but people outside the palace had absolutely no right to touch them.
Besides, when it comes to these betrothal gifts, not only are everyone in the Feng Mansion devastated after hearing them, Feng Yuheng's eyelids are also twitching. She begins to doubt whether her previous exploration of Madam Zhou was a mistake.
As for the stiff-backed old lady Feng, her attitude towards Feng Yuheng, which had warmed up somewhat, suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The other people in Feng Mansion were not much different. When they saw Madam Zhou personally representing Prince Yu's Mansion to propose marriage, they all thought that Prince Yu's Mansion attached great importance to this marriage engagement. They were afraid that because of this relationship, Feng Mansion would not dare to treat the Yao family too lightly in the future.
But now it’s completely different!
If the Prince Yu's Mansion really valued this marriage, why was the betrothal gift so shabby? The eunuch sang the gift list so well that they were almost embarrassed. The door of the Feng Mansion was wide open and there were so many people outside listening. This joke was a big one. I'm afraid it would spread all over the capital in less than an hour. How could the Feng Mansion put its face on this?
Finally, the gift list was completed and all the betrothal gifts were moved into the Feng Mansion.
Feng Jinyuan's face was dark, and the old lady was so angry that she needed two servants to help her stand. Shen didn't react much. If the Prince Yu's Mansion did this, then don't blame Feng Mansion for how it would treat Yao's mother and daughter in the future. Those who always think that Yao is the legitimate mistress of Feng Mansion, it's time to wake up.
But just when everyone thought that this farce that had brought shame to the family could finally come to an end, Madam Zhou spoke again: "These are the betrothal gifts to the Feng Mansion. Next, it is the personal betrothal gift from our Prince Yu to the future Princess Yu!"
The crowd was in an uproar again!
What is a private betrothal gift?
Who invented this shit?
The old lady's stiff waist trembled, Feng Jinyuan's iron-black face was a little distorted, and even Shen was stunned.
Feng Yuheng was also confused. What on earth was a personal betrothal gift?
Madam Zhou looked sternly at everyone in Feng Mansion, and Feng Yuheng saw contempt in her eyes.
"His Royal Highness said that the Feng family's kindness in raising the Second Miss Feng is only worth this much, so the three thousand taels of silver is actually a lot more. If you look deeper, the Feng family's contribution to the Second Miss Feng is far less than three thousand taels."
The meaning is very clear. You know very well how your Feng family raised your daughter. Giving you three thousand is a compliment.
Madam Zhou raised her hand, and the maid beside her handed over another gift list. This time, Madam Zhou handed the gift list directly to Feng Yuheng - "This is the private betrothal gift from His Royal Highness the Prince to the Second Miss. Please take a look at it."
Feng Yuheng took the gift list and looked down, and saw a long list filled with words, and she was dazzled by the sight of all the items.
Madam Zhou did not wait for her to finish reading. She raised her hand again, and the eunuch who had read out the gift list spoke again - "Your Highness, please bring Miss Feng Er's personal betrothal gift into the palace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people came to the door carrying wooden boxes covered with bright red silk and began to move them into the mansion.
"His Royal Highness bestowed upon Miss Feng a glass jade cabbage, a pair of mutton-fat jade vases, a pair of nine-dragon jade cups, a pair of East China Sea night-shining pearls, a topaz Buddha's hand flower vase, a pair of coral Pixiu, a malachite landscape screen, an octagonal box with gold-inlaid gemstones and hollow floral patterns, a sapphire chrysanthemum-petal narcissus bonsai, a rose quartz hairpin, a lucky hairpin, a butterfly tassel hairpin, a white jade peacock hairpin, a multicolored jade hairpin, a pearly exquisite eight-treasure hairpin, a pair of gold bell bracelets, a glass jade bracelet, a red gold silk bracelet, a white jade Eight Immortals bracelet, a pair of gold-inlaid jeweled silk bracelets, and a set of eighteen gold bracelets made by Persian craftsmen..."
Everyone collapsed when they heard about it. From ornaments to jewelry, to head ornaments, not only were the people in Feng Mansion astonished, even the ladies in the palace would be jealous when they saw it. However, Prince Yu's Mansion just carried these rare treasures into Feng Mansion box by box as if they were free.
Not only that, apart from the ornaments and jewelry, as the eunuch said "a bed made of lacquer and painted with gold and inlaid with various treasures, with landscapes and figures", everyone watched as the people outside carried in an extremely gorgeous bed.
Perhaps to match the bed, screens, tables and chairs, treasure chests, bookshelves, dressing tables, and even small things like tea sets popped up. It was obvious that the whole house was to be redecorated for Feng Yuheng.
After all the items were delivered, the chief eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Highness the Prince will give Miss Feng the Second Eight Shops in the capital, six farms in the suburbs of the capital, and a house on Qilin Street in the city. In addition, you will give Miss Feng the Second One a hundred thousand silver notes and twenty thousand gold notes for pocket money--" The last ten thousand was dragged out for a long time, and everyone's heart trembled when they heard it.
