Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 307 Dowry Book

The sun was shining brightly, the gongs and drums were blaring, a group of palace people were going to deliver the betrothal gifts to Dugu Mansion, and one person in the palace following behind was carefully checking the betrothal gift book, for fear that something left behind would fail the emperor's will.

The process of folk marriage is often carried out according to the six rituals. In the early stage, it is Nacai, asking for names, Najib, accepting levy, asking for a date, and finally completing the step of welcoming the relatives.

However, the wedding process of the royal family is more complicated, and every link needs to be counted on the auspicious time. It just so happened that the princess’s wedding dress was completed yesterday. The concubine looked over.

Concubine Jing was immediately overjoyed to see such a beautiful phoenix crown and xiapei, and hurried to find the prime minister to take advantage of the auspicious time. She counted the number of betrothal gifts overnight, and set off from Tianfu City on time this morning at [-]:[-] to represent the royal family to her natal family to give the betrothal gift.

"Your Majesty, the Dugu Mansion has arrived." The palace servant reported cautiously.

Concubine Jing handed the betrothal booklet to the servant and said, "Send this booklet to the mansion first for me."

"Ah!" The servant who led the way took the booklet and immediately went into Dugu Mansion to report.

After a while, Aunt Jing came out to greet her with a smile on her face, "My good sister, why are you here when you are free?"

"Look at you, if you don't know how to greet, don't greet, fakes can't match the sincerity." Concubine Jing curled her lips, she felt that her younger sister was really clumsy, and she couldn't tell her identity at such an important moment.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, and you even came to the mansion to give the dowry in person. It really makes the Dugu mansion flourish." Dugu Ruyuan couldn't hide his smile. In another month, his beloved daughter was going to get married. He was both happy and happy. Worried, very conflicted.

"Master Dugu, long time no see, how are you?" Concubine Jing treated Dugu Ruyuan very warmly.

"Thanks to your mother, I'm fine~" Dugu Ruyuan rarely had the opportunity to see Concubine Jing on weekdays.

"My lord has time to teach you more about your wife. You can always learn some tricks by listening to what you see and hear. Don't just let others laugh at you."

Concubine Jing really dislikes her younger sister's shortcoming of being stupid. Her repeated persuasion and teaching are useless. She always complains that her sister speaks regardless of the occasion. Will not choose what to say.

"My lady taught me." Dugu Ruyuan really likes Jing Yisu's straightforward way of talking about things, everyone has their own destiny.

"Let the empress worry about it." Aunt Jing didn't dare to say any more, for fear of offending her sister.

"It's a great event, why bother to keep a straight face, what are you doing?" Concubine Jing straightened her identity, she was here to give the dowry, not to ask questions.

"Please enlighten me!" Dugu Ruyuan and Aunt Jing asked in unison.

"Hurry up and count the betrothal gifts. They are all items carefully selected by the emperor. I just hope that this marriage will be harmonious and smooth, and the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous and honorable." When the emperor was mentioned, Concubine Jing immediately became serious.

"The arrangement of the empress's overseer's marriage must be meticulous, there is no need to count anything!" Dugu Ruyuan is calm and cautious, but who knows that such a cautious and steady person will give birth to such a bold daughter.

"The work on this wedding dress is quite urgent, and it has only been completed for a few days. I have checked the rest of the items several times, and I am afraid that there will be any mistakes that will affect the wedding."

Concubine Jing exchanged pleasantries for a while to wait for Dugu Xiaomeng to appear, but after a long time, no one appeared, Concubine Jing changed the subject, "Is your lord's daughter not satisfied with this marriage?"

"How could it be? Ma'am, you are serious. My daughter wept with joy when she first found out about the marriage. This is really the grace of the emperor and the blessing of the ancestors of the Dugu Mansion, so that she can cultivate such a fate for Xiaomeng." Dugu Ruyuan signaled the housekeeper to hurry up. Go see what's going on with Dugu Xiaomeng.

After repeated persuasion by the housekeeper, Dugu Xiaomeng came to pay respects to Concubine Jing. As soon as she met her, she started laughing, "Hey, the nobleman is here! Rare guest!"

"Noble man? It's simply presumptuous!" Dugu Ruyuan hurriedly corrected Dugu Xiaomeng's address to Concubine Jing.

"Hello, imperial concubine!" Dugu Xiaomeng asked casually. She didn't like Jingfei since she was a child, because every time her aunt went to the palace to visit Jingfei and returned to the mansion, she would trouble her from time to time, so Dugu Xiaomeng Meng always felt that it was Concubine Jing who was sowing discord.

"Ahem~ I'm here to give the dowry to the family today, why don't you extend your hand?" Concubine Jing looked at Dugu Xiaomeng with a contemptuous expression, she looked younger at three years old and looked older at seven years old, she has always been unkind to the woman in front of her impression.

"Me?" Dugu Xiaomeng asked impolitely.

"Otherwise? Don't you want to marry?" Concubine Jing's voice became harsh, she felt that Dugu Xiaomeng disrespected herself too much.

"Think about it, my lady, please don't misunderstand my little girl." Dugu Xiaomeng forced a smile.

"If you want to marry and don't reach out to accept the bag, what do you mean?" Concubine Jing couldn't reprimand the future crown princess in front of her servants, so she could only hold back her anger in her heart.

"Package? Is it worth two taels of silver?" Dugu Xiaomeng was very curious.

"Vulgar, does the princess-to-be only recognize silver taels?" Concubine Jing was half angry and half angry.

"What is that?" Dugu Xiaomeng asked back.

"You'll know if you open it?" Concubine Jing stuffed the bag into Dugu Xiaomeng's hands.

"Oh." Dugu Xiaomeng opened the small bag Jingfei gave her and saw red dates, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds mixed together. She felt very strange. She picked up a big red date and put it in her mouth. Sweet and delicious!"

"Delicious? Do you know what the meaning is?" Concubine Jing suppressed the anger in her heart, she felt that Dugu Xiaomeng was pretending to be stupid and in a daze to deliberately anger everyone.

"I don't know! This lotus seed has not been cored, it's so bitter, bah bah bah~ bah bah~" Dugu Xiaomeng threw another lotus seed into her mouth after eating the jujube. Spit it out.

"Silly boy, this is called early birth. It's not for you, so shut up." Aunt Jing really couldn't see it, and stopped Dugu Xiaomeng from being unreasonable.

"Look at you, it's a waste of help. It's okay for the child to be naughty and naughty. What are you going to grab after me? You've let me down in vain."

Concubine Jing finally found someone who could reprimand her, so she could express her dissatisfaction. This package of "Early Birth Treasure Child" is the four foods she personally selected, and they are all of uniform size. painstaking efforts.

"I still look forward to Haihan, Concubine Jing!" Jing Yisu thought that her sister was angry at her failure to live up to expectations.

"For the sake of this Gong's hard work..." Concubine Jing was interrupted by Dugu Xiaomeng just in the middle of her words.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea!" Dugu Xiaomeng obediently handed Concubine Jing a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Stupid child, do you really not know or pretend not to know? How can you still give me tea?" Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly.

The phoenix hairpin, the wedding dress, looking back and smiling to relieve her worries, just looking forward to Xu Jun.
