Chapter 137 Dowry
When the pot was served earlier, Xie Yun and Xie Shu came back from the outside, cleaned their hands, and waited for Jiang Nan to feed them with a smile on their faces.

After Jiang Nan sat down, she said, "Liulang, let's go back to Beijing."

The smile on Xie Yun's face was slightly stagnant, and he couldn't hide his disappointed eyes. He looked at her and said softly: "Let's play for a few more days! Do you think it's too hard? I'll find two maids to serve you!"

Jiang Nan shook her head, and said righteously: "You didn't go to court again this morning!"

The corners of Xie Yun's lips curled up into a smile, his eyes were filled with endless joy, he leaned over and whispered: "You were so pestering last night, how can I get up?"

"Who is pestering people? I can't tell!" Jiang Nan refused.

Women may be inherently weak in this regard, her face turned red involuntarily, and her scolding voice was soft, which made her look like she was acting like a baby.

Xie Yun gave a long cry, "That's my misunderstanding, I thought you liked it."

"..."

"Two days later, it's still early!" Of course, Xie Yun didn't want to go back. He went back to the imperial capital and lived in two separate residences. He had to sneak around and avoid people when they met. Now he couldn't leave her for a day.

Jiang Nan said anxiously: "It's still early? We're less than half a month away from the big wedding, and I haven't finished embroidering the mandarin duck quilt yet. I have to embroider this kind of thing by myself."

The last sentence was to stop Xie Yun's mouth. His eyes dimmed, and he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a while, then sighed: "Okay!"

When I went back to the city, it was Si time, and I went out of the bamboo forest. There were no dense trees for shade, and the carriage was very stuffy.

Seeing that Jiang Nan's eyes were tired and drowsy, Xie Yun put his arms around her shoulders, leaned into his arms, and said with a smile: "I was too indulgent last night, I think it made you tired, there is still a long way to go, do you want to sleep?"

Jiang Nan hummed and closed her eyes.

Passing by the foot of Longshan Mountain, the crowd meanders on the mountain road.

The news of Master Kongshan's death was sent back to the Imperial Capital, and the people rushed to see him off for the last time.

Due to the large number of visitors, the road was blocked and the carriage was forced to slow down.

"I heard that Master Kongshan passed away only after meeting the prospective princess. How do you think this prospective princess is so hard-pressed!"

"Think about it, how many people died after this and the divorced wife came back from Nanling. The Jiang family killed a young and beautiful unmarried daughter, or homicide. The old Ye Chengru was suppressed to death, this is too mysterious!"

"It's said that she knows sorcery. I didn't believe it. What age is it, but I really have to believe it when you say that! Even Master Kongshan couldn't control her, and she killed her!"

Listening to the gossip outside, Jiang Nan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, sweeping away his sleepiness, and hardened his fists with anger.

"Hey, sleep again!" Xie Yun covered Jiang Nan's ears and told the outside, "Zong Yue, hurry up and leave!"

"Yes."

Jiang Nan shook off Xie Yun's hand, and said in surprise: "Master Kongshan's death can also be blamed on me? I've become a witch again!"

"Those who want to fabricate it will make their ears dirty." Xie Yun coaxed softly.

"It's all your fault!" Jiang Nan looked at Xie Yun sadly.

"Yes, yes, it's all because of me! In order to marry me, you have been wronged."

Xie Yun's solemn appearance of admitting his mistakes made Jiang Nan laugh, and she turned sideways to ignore him.

"They are all envious and jealous of you, that's why they use words to slander you!" Xie Yun hugged her from behind, leaned on her neck and whispered, "However, you really look like a goblin at night, I doubt you really have a goblin!" Art, I am fascinated by your obsession, I don’t think about anything but you.”

The voice became lower and hoarse.

"Shu'er is still there!" Jiang Nan blushed and gave him a gouging look.

Xie Shu fell into a drowsy sleep, seemed to hear it, but didn't seem to hear it, his eyes didn't open, and he muttered: "My mother is not a witch! She's a fairy!"

Xie Yun: "..."

Jiang Nan: "..."

The carriage stopped at Jiang's house on Anhou South Street.

Xie Yun wanted to hug Xie Shu and get out of the car, but was stopped by Jiang Nan: "Go back to the palace! Don't see you again before the wedding, it's unlucky!"

"I do not want!"

Xie Yun followed Jiang Nan out of the car, and was stared at the corner door by her, nailed to the spot, lowered her eyes weakly, and muttered softly, "I don't want it."

"Then you are the hope, and I will be labeled as the one who confuses the prince and doesn't want to make progress."

"We don't care if we talk about other people, we just don't listen."

"Liulang, I can't ignore it."

Jiang Nan was as cold as ice, Xie Yun couldn't refute, so he could only go back in despair.

Before the carriage disappeared into the alley, Jiang Nan had already entered the mansion.

The front yard was extremely lively. When Jiang Nan walked to the back yard, she heard the commotion and went to check it out curiously.

"A pair of jade ruyis, a pair of glazed gold cups, and a gold-plated Buddha statue..."

The main door of the Jiang family was wide open, and the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace stood at the door holding a long piece of paper, and kept counting.

Jiang Huai ordered his servants to carry and check, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line: "Register carefully, nothing will be left behind, it's all due to the emperor's grace!"

Jiang Nan saw that it looked like a betrothal gift from the Eastern Palace, and it was piled up all over the courtyard, and there was a steady stream of palace people waiting to bring the gifts at the door.

Jiang Huai caught a glimpse of Jiang Nan, got up quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Nan'er, His Royal Highness has made up for the shortfall in the betrothal gift! You didn't treat our family badly at all!"

Holding a pair of pearl face masks in his hand, Mrs. Li couldn't put it down, and echoed with a smile: "I heard that I have to go to the harem to find women. The small treasury of the East Palace has been emptied, and the emperor's private treasury has also been opened. What a shame! En mighty."

Jiang Huai and Li Shi's eyes were shining brightly, as if they would transform into gold-swallowing beasts in the next second, swallowing all the betrothal gifts into their stomachs.

Jiang Nan sneered: "Are you all happy for me? Because all the things of the royal family are registered, how much dowry you get back, right? If there is less, how does the emperor think of you? Father?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huai smiled, and Li Shi silently put down her pearl face. When noble families marry their daughters, the dowry is more generous than the dowry, otherwise they will be poked at the spine and laughed at.

Originally thinking that the crown prince had posted so many private posts, they could be greedy for some. They were so excited for a while, they forgot that the crown prince's dowry should also be registered in the register and managed by a special person.

"All the girls are from her natal family, why are you still attached to your husband's family before you get married!" Jiang Huai couldn't help muttering, for the first time in his life, he felt a little annoyed by the house full of treasures.

It was Duan Zhengran who escorted the betrothal gift into Jiang's residence. He stood under the eaves of the door and supervised the palace staff to carefully carry the betrothal gift.

From a distance, Gu Yunbai walked over quickly in regular clothes, and when he passed by him, he didn't even look at him as if he didn't know him.

"Hey, what day is it today, do you still dare to come?" Duan Zhengran grabbed Gu Yunbai's arm, preventing her from entering the mansion.

"Are you sick? I live here, what day do I have to choose when I enter the mansion?" Gu Yunbai threw away Duan Zhengran, walked past a group of palace people, and entered through the main entrance.

Duan Zhengran was horrified, the main entrance of the aristocratic family is not accessible to ordinary people, this adulterer dared to walk the main entrance, he simply didn't take Xie Yun seriously.
