Chapter 321 Brothers and Sisters
Maidong finally went to Mobei.
Two days after returning home, she and Lu Yu led a caravan to Mobei.
After Chen Jingtan learned about this, he immediately sent guards to chase Mai Dong and handed him a letter with some words and a jade pendant representing Chen Jingyan's identity as the King of Mobei.
Maidong finally understood what his brother meant after reading the letter.
She planned to stay in Mobei for a while. After all, she and Lu Yu were already married, so it didn't matter where they lived.
Besides, Lu Yu is not close to his father, and they are both free-spirited people, so it is feasible for him to stay in Mobei in the future.
October of the same year.
Zhao Xuan brought Gao Wanxin and recognized Chen Jingyan as his sworn brother.
He kowtowed and served tea.
Yun Qiao also drank a cup of tea. From then on, Gao Wanxin was Chen Jingyan's nominal sister.
Gao Wanxin was both self-deprecating and sensitive, and she knew that her status was humble. After becoming godparents, she did not dare to interact much with the Marquis' Mansion. However, she also put in some effort and remembered the birthdays of the triplets. In her spare time, she would make some small clothes, hats, and shoes for Yun Qiao's little fourth child.
One month after Gao Wanxin recognized her sworn brother.
She married into the Chen family and became Zhao Xuan's wife.
At this time, Gao Wanxin's belly was already five months big, but she was wearing loose clothes and her belly was not obvious, so it was not obvious how big her belly was.
But on the wedding day, I was still a little cautious.
Zhao Xuan got married in his middle age, so he didn't make a big fuss and just simply hosted a banquet for some guests.
But the Chen family still prepared a relatively good dowry and sent Gao Wanxin to get married.
Zhao Xuan was very surprised.
He also privately asked Chen Jingyan why he went to the trouble of preparing those dowries.
Chen Jingyan was not doing this for Gao Wanxin, he was doing it for his sister Maidong.
Mai Dong and Gao Wanxin are good friends. In addition, Gao Wanxin is now going to marry Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan has come to her to beg for mercy. Chen Jingyan gave him face and agreed.
But for Maidong, he also sincerely recognized Gao Wanxin as his sister.
Zhao Xuan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
It has been nearly half a month since the wedding, and Gao Wanxin is still in a daze. She never thought that her dowry would be so much.
These days she has been wanting to find Zhao Xuan and ask him to go to the Chen family in the Marquis' Mansion to ask.
These dowries are just a formality and still need to be sent back, right?
Zhao Xuan didn't say much to her.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Aunt Zhang asked her if it was time to serve dinner.
Gao Wanxin originally wanted to wait a little longer, but when she thought about her current state of being hungry, she realized that she was also in a trance.
"Prepare dinner first. I'm hungry too."
"Where's Yi'er? I think he's hungry too."
Aunt Zhang said, "I carried Yu'er to the old lady's courtyard. It's already this late, and I don't think she will be back for dinner. Madam, please eat first. You are heavy now, so you should eat when you are hungry. You can't go hungry."
As he was speaking, he saw Zhao Xuan coming in from outside.
"The master is back..."
Zhao Xuan nodded and stepped into the house.
Gao Wanxin had already stood up and walked over quickly. Zhao Xuan frowned at her rapid pace and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to see me?"
"Sir, did you ask what I asked you to ask?"
"I checked the account book today and saw so much money and stuff. How could I dare to accept it?"
The Chen family of the Marquis' Mansion gave her three hundred pieces of cloth, enough to make a hundred sets of clothes for all four seasons. In addition, the rest of the things prepared were also in sets. These things were too much, and Gao Wanxin felt guilty about receiving them.
She has no relatives or friends with the Chen family in the Marquis' Mansion, so why did they give her so many things?
Moreover, when she was calculating her dowry a few days ago, she was shocked to find that the Chen family of the Marquis' Mansion had given her a dowry of 5,000 taels.
This amount of money cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of silver notes given as a dowry to Maidong, but Gao Wanxin has no relatives with the Chen family of the Marquisate. Even if she is the adopted sister of Marquis Chen Jingyan, it was because Zhao Xuan wanted to marry her legitimately and specially found a decent identity for her.
That's all.
The Chen family just gave her some dowry, and there was no need to give her so much.
There were so many things that Gao Wanxin felt uneasy.
Seeing that she was anxious, Zhao Xuan took Gao Wanxin's hand and walked inside, not forgetting to tell Aunt Zhang to prepare dinner quickly and just bring it over.
After Aunt Zhang left, they were the only two left in the room.
Zhao Xuan then said, "I found time today to ask the Marquis, and he said that since he admitted it, it must be true. I think he must have seen your good relationship with Mai Dong, so he admitted it."
"No matter what, this means you have one more relative."
Gao Wanxin stared at Zhao Xuan, "Is that what the Marquis said? What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"The princess's intention is the same as yours, so keep the money. Also, keep the eight thousand taels I gave you. You'll need to raise two children. If I die someday, you must take good care of them."
Zhao Xuan was also worried that when he got old, Zhao Chengliang and Zhao Lingxi would bully Gao Wanxin and her two children.
Today, it seems that what Chen Jingyan said really means that he recognizes Gao Wanxin as his sister, which is also a good thing for Gao Wanxin.
In the future, for the sake of the Marquis and the princess, his daughter Zhao Lingxi would not dare to bully Gao Wanxin and her two sons easily after she entered the palace.
"Sir, you have already shown me favor by accepting me as your adopted sister. I truly do not deserve the money you have given me. And how did you manage to save up so much money?"
Gao Wanxin was also worried that the old lady would naturally be unhappy if Zhao Xuan gave her the Zhao family's money.
Moreover, if Zhao Lingxi and Zhao Chengliang knew about this, they would definitely hate her and Yier.
Gao Wanxin would rather not have the money than anger Zhao Lingxi and Zhao Chengliang.
Zhao Chengliang's wife, Zhang, was a calculating person, and her brain couldn't keep up. When Zhao Lingxi entered the palace in the future, she would become a concubine, and her status would be noble, so she couldn't afford to offend her.
The money that Zhao Xuan gave now has become a hot potato for Gao Wanxin.
"You are also stupid. If you don't tell me, who would know that I gave it to you? Just consider it as the gift from the Chen family of the Marquisate, your sworn brother."
Gao Wanxin was still a little uneasy, "Is it okay?"
"No, sir, I'm worried about where all this money of yours comes from."
Zhao Xuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is all my private savings from these years. In addition, I sold two courtyards outside the city and one of the manors to raise enough money for you."
"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. I've changed the owner of the courtyard you lived in before. It's now yours. It's the courtyard that came with your dowry."
"If you're worried about this money, go buy some land."
Looking at Zhao Xuan who was thinking about her wholeheartedly, Gao Wanxin felt a little guilty at this moment. She had previously blamed Zhao Xuan for not being willing to marry her.
It turned out that what he wanted was to give her a legitimate reason and a respectable identity so that she could marry into the Zhao family and have the confidence to be the mistress of the Zhao family.
"Sir, you have been so kind to me that I am unworthy of it."
"What else can I do besides giving birth to a child for you?"
Gao Wanxin's eyes turned red, and she swore in her heart that she must give birth to more children for Zhao Xuan.
