"Fine, if you can get up, come through the main hall at noon." Du Heng shook his head, got up and left the courtyard. Originally, this yard was his most frequent visitor, but he didn't expect it, but now it has become smoky.
As soon as Du Heng went out, he ran into Du Yi.
"Father." Du Yi said hello in a regular manner. Du Heng looked at Du Yi and said, "Your mother's condition still doesn't improve. Why don't you ask your big sister to take a look?"
Hearing this, Du Yi smiled bitterly, "Mother always said not to let the big sister come to our yard."
Du Heng understood immediately, looked inside the room deeply, and said, "Her illness was born from the heart. She doesn't understand it, no one can help her."
Du Yi shook his head, "I hope my mother can wake up."
...
As soon as Du Xuechun got up, he received news from Mingying.
"He is going to give a betrothal gift today?" Du Xuechun was a little surprised, why did he send it so early.
"Yes, the greetings are all down, and they will come after noon." Mingying's face was beaming, and she combed Du Xuechun's hair. "Miss, I will comb a nice bun for you today."
Du Xuechun smiled, "Where is it so solemn, it's just a wedding gift."
"That's not the same. The three princes gave the bridesmaid a long face to let others see how much the three princes love our young lady! Naturally, we also have to show some sincerity." Mingying merrily in jewelry Picked in the box.
Seeing Mingying's picture of Mingying, Du Xuechun smiled helplessly, let her go.
"It's just that, isn't this betrothal gift always sent one week before the wedding? Why did he come so early?" Du Xuechun asked.
Mingying smiled triumphantly, "Naturally the third prince loves our young lady."
"...Yes, yes, everything you say is right." Du Xuechun was completely convinced.
After a moment of silence, Du Xuechun asked again, "Then he gave the bride price, should we give the bride price now?" Thinking of this, Du Xuechun was a little bit troubled. The silver in her hand was only three thousand taels recently, plus the money from her mother and grandmother Things, if ordinary people are enough, but yesterday I saw Feng Xuanche's spoiling temperament, I'm afraid he will not look good at this point.
"It seems to be...Miss, we haven't started to prepare yet!" Mingying was at a loss, because there was still a month before the wedding, and they hadn't even thought of preparing for the bride price.
Du Xuechun helped her forehead and said, "Yeah.....Forget it.....that's it."
It was past noon, and the people in Xiangfu were waiting outside.
At this time, at the gate of the Royal Palace of Yi, there were more than forty horse-drawn carriages, big and small, with red ropes tied to each carriage, which is amazing.
"Should these three princes propose marriage or move? So many things!"
"The three princes fought at the border, and I don't know how many rewards they got, what are these counts."
"I really envy Miss Du's family. There is such a husband. If I were not married, I would also like to enter the Third Prince's Mansion."
The people around were in a crowd, and the carriage lined up two streets, which looked quite spectacular.
Feng Xuanche counted the gift list, and then got on the first carriage. Feng Xuan Che was originally handsome, but today he wore a blue shirt, which made him look like a man.
A Jin walked beside the carriage, also very proud.
This team rushed to Xiangfu in mighty force.
From a distance, Du Xuechun saw a long line.
Mingying covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Miss...Is this the betrothal gift of the Third Prince?"
Seeing this, Du Xuechun helped his forehead and wanted to find a hole to get out. She never liked extravagance, but this person happened to be very high-profile. Along the way, many people came along with them, as if the emperor married a daughter.
Du Qingheng, who was standing aside, burst into anger. Feng Xuanche actually gave Du Xuechun a face like this. If she marries in the future, the bride price is not as good as Du Xuechun, how would others think of her?
Du Qingheng's hand supporting Song Qingyu was trembling, she felt that Song Qingyu was also trembling, and she couldn't help but become even more annoyed.
"See the third prince." Du Heng walked to the front without saluting, just said this.
Feng Xuanche didn't blame it, but instead bowed and said, "I'm disturbing today."
When everyone saw it, they were full of praise for Feng Xuan, and cast envious glances at the people in Xiangfu.
The more others felt better, Du Qingheng felt the hotter her face was. The fact that she lost the election, I'm afraid the whole city knew about it, and now others admired Du Xuechun so much, they were hitting her in the face.
After Feng Xuanche saluted Du Heng, ignoring everyone, walked to Du Xuechun's side, and handed a thick notebook to Du Xuechun's hands, "This is the betrothal list, take a look."
Being stared by everyone, Du Xuechun held the betrothal gift list, her heart pounding, she leaned into Feng Xuanche's ear and said, "So many?"
"In this, half of it is your dowry." Feng Xuanchee looked at Du Xuechun with gentle brows.
Du Qingyao looked at the man with a cold heart. It turned out that he really liked Du Xuechun so much.
She turned her head to look at Du Heng, saw that Du Heng was very satisfied, and lowered her head. I don't know how much she will have as a concubine.
Hearing Feng Xuanche's words, Du Xuechun was taken aback, "Dowry?"
Isn't the dowry all prepared by the family? This Feng Xuan Che was good, so he prepared for himself first.
"Yes, I'm afraid that my princess is too shabby to produce a decent dowry, so I prepared a copy for you, and it will be yours in the future." Feng Xuan Che's face was smiling.
Song Qingyu saw this scene with his fists clenched tightly. Feng Xuanche turned the offer list directly into Du Xuechun's hands. Didn't this embarrass her mother? With so many things, it is impossible for Du Xuechun to accept it alone.
Du Xuechun also noticed Song Qingyu's gaze, cast a smile at the other party, and said to Du Heng, "Daddy, let people carry these things into the elegant garden."
Du Heng nodded and ordered someone to get up.
There was a long line at the door, and people from the Yi Palace and Xiangfu were constantly moving things inside.
"Master, why did this thing move to Yayuan." Seeing this scene, Song Qingyu's eyes became straight and couldn't help but ask Du Heng.
Du Heng raised his brows, "This was given to Xue'er by the third prince. There is nothing wrong with moving into Yayuan. Don't let others gossip, saying that our Xiangfu is even greedy for daughters' betrothal gifts."
Song Qingyu was speechless because of these words. She looked at the dazzling array of things and wondered how valuable it was.
The total wealth of the entire Xiangfu house may not be as good as these, but Du Heng is so generous. However, Du Heng didn't say anything. She was not Du Xuechun's biological mother, so naturally she couldn't say anything.
When the things were moved, Du Heng walked up to Feng Xuanche and said with a smile, "We have prepared a banquet, please invite the Third Prince."
"That son-in-law is better off being respectful."
Welcoming Feng Xuan Che into the mansion, even the big belly Si Niang came to the banquet.
