Once the Crown Prince Joins In

419: There is a problem with the dowry

Today's wedding banquet was particularly lively. The second lady was smiling all over her face. Su Xinyi was sitting with several princesses. Zhu Chanyi turned her head and said to her: I didn't expect that there were so many people here today, and you don't know many of them. Do you know me?

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, You come uninvited, and you can't kick people out when they come to the door to congratulate you. New 𝟲𝟵Book Bar→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

She also knew in her heart that it was hard to say whether it was good or bad for such an uninvited person to come to her door. But firstly, it was because she was the Crown Princess, and secondly, it was because Su Yi had a promising future in the past two years, and several other children of the Su family They all look like they are working hard to make progress. The Su family today is very different from when she came back.

It was dull at first, but now it is flourishing.

That's the truth, otherwise the streets outside tomorrow will be filled with rumors that the Su family is arrogant. Zhu Chanyi said with a smile.

You Xiangzhe on the other side didn't even turn his eyelids when he heard this, looking indifferent.

Ji Yun beside her didn't look good, and seemed to be distracted. Tu Jingjia didn't seem to notice the difference between the two of them at all. He listened to Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi talking to each other, and occasionally talked about the previous one. Two sentences.

During this period, many people came over to propose a toast, but Su Xinyi refused them all. She was pregnant and could not drink.

And with Zhu Chanyi here, even if some people's words don't sound good, she will directly ask them back on the spot, which makes people embarrassed. Anyway, they are both girls from military generals' families, so they are not afraid of others saying that they are uneducated.

Besides, what a good thing is a person who can make a pregnant woman drink alcohol.

When the wedding banquet was over, Su Xinyi left directly. After saying goodbye to Zhu Chanyi and Tu Jingjia, he went to say goodbye to the wife first.

Mrs. Tai looked at her with squinted eyes and smiled, Everything is fine at home. Don't worry. When your eldest sister and brother-in-law come back, you can come back and have a look when you have time. If it is inconvenient, there is no need to come back. We are all in the East Palace. I know there are many last resorts.”

Su Xinyi smiled and said to the wife: I listen to you. I will come back as soon as I can. You should also take good care of your health. You will have a great-grandson next year.

The madam nodded happily, In this life, people want their homes to be flourishing. That's good, I like to hear it. Go back and be careful on the way.

Su Xinyi nodded, I want to take Sister Jun and Brother Kun to the East Palace to stay for a few days. Do you think it's okay?

I wanted to take her last time, but my family didn't let her go because they were afraid of causing trouble to her.

Mrs. Tai did not expect Xin Yi to mention this matter again, and said hesitantly: The two children are at the age of playing around. If you are pregnant and take care of them, the family is afraid that you will have to work hard.

It's okay. There are so many people around, so I don't have to keep staring. Besides, I promised them back then that you couldn't let me make a mistake on my two children, Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The madam did not refuse this time, Go ahead, but stay for a few days and then send them back.

Su Xinyi nodded, and the madam asked someone to bring the two children. As soon as Xie Kun walked in and saw Su Xinyi, his eyes lit up, but he still bowed to the madam in a polite manner first, and then ran over and asked: Aunt Six, are you here to pick me up?

Su Xinyi looked at Sister Jun who was following her like a little tail and stared at her with the same eyes. She smiled and said, Yes, I'll pick you up.

Xie Kun rolled his eyes and turned to look at Sister Jun, Let's go back and pack things quickly.

The madam laughed angrily, looked at Xie Kun and said, There is no need for you to pack your things. The people around you will pack them and take them with you.

This kid's mind works very fast, and he must be afraid that the servants will pack too few things for him, and he won't be able to stay for a few days before he comes back.

Xie Kun looked quite pity when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more this time.

Sister Jun, on the other hand, looked at Su Xinyi and asked, Sixth Aunt, when will my mother understand my brother and I? I miss my parents, and I also miss my brother.

Su Xinyi reached out and pinched Sister Jun's little face, and said softly: I'll see you soon.

Sister Jun was still young, so she smiled happily when she heard this.

On the other hand, Xie Kun on the side was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were full of surprise, and then he looked at Su Xinyi with his eyes, Sixth Aunt, can we celebrate the New Year together?

This was to ask her if she could see anyone during the Chinese New Year.

Su Xinyi looked at Xie Kun and said, If everything goes well, it should be okay.

Xie Kun nodded politely, I'll definitely see you.

It will definitely go smoothly.

Su Xinyi took the two children to say goodbye to the dowager, and then went to say goodbye to the mother. The fourth lady had already prepared the luggage for the two children. There were not many things prepared, because they would be picked up after staying for a few days.

After sending the first and second children to the carriage, the fourth lady looked at her daughter and warned her softly, Both children are good children and don't bother anyone. But you are pregnant, so just ask the people around you to take care of them.

Su Xinyi responded with a smile and said, Mom, don't worry, we will see you again in a few days.

The Fourth Madam thought the same thing, and waved her hands with a smile on her face, Then let's go, be careful on the road.

Zhu Chanyi stuck her head out at this time, Madam, don't worry, I will protect them and go back well.

The Fourth Madam thought Zhu Chanyi had left long ago, but she was frightened when she saw the person. Then she came back to her senses and said, Then there is Princess Laorong.

You're welcome. Zhu Chanyi smiled, took the two children to sit beside her, and said goodbye to the Fourth Madam.

The carriage rolled slowly, and Su Xinyi waved to her mother, Go back, it's windy outside.

The fourth lady smiled and responded, Let's go.

Su Xinyi then lowered the curtain. The fourth lady watched the carriage go away, turned around and walked back to the mansion.

Halfway through, he saw the steward next to him, Mrs. Xu, walking over in a hurry, Madam, Madam, please come over.

The fourth lady was a little surprised and said, Second sister-in-law? What are you doing at this time? Have you encountered anything?

I don't know, this old slave, but it was the girl who was close to the second lady who came to spread the message.

Then let's go and have a look. The fourth lady folded her cloak. Today was Su Qi's happy day, and it was rare for her to wear bright colors.

After losing her husband, she mostly wore plain clothes and rarely wore such bright colors. However, it was a great joy for her child to marry a wife, and she could not bring bad luck to others.

Walking all the way to the second room, halfway through, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng hurried over and greeted the Fourth Madam with a smile, Fourth Aunt.

Why are you here too? The fourth lady looked at Mrs. Zeng and asked, Did your second aunt ask you to come?

Mrs. Zeng nodded, Yes, my niece-in-law came here as soon as she got the news. I didn't expect to meet you here.

Then let's come together. The fourth lady said kindly, Do you know what is going on?

Zeng shook her head, My niece-in-law doesn't know.

The fourth lady stopped talking and took Mrs. Zeng through the door of the second room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the third lady was also sitting there. Without seeing the elder sister-in-law, she walked over and said hello, Third sister-in-law.

Third Aunt. Mrs. Zeng also called.

The third lady looked at them and said, You are here too, sit down. She looked at the fourth lady and said, Second sister-in-law, she didn't know what she wanted from us, so she called people over in a hurry. Fourth brother and sister-in-law. do you know?

I don't know either. The fourth lady shook her head.

Zeng, a junior, was silent on the side, but felt that this matter was a bit strange. Why did the second aunt call everyone over at this time?

Just as I was thinking this, the eldest lady also arrived.

The eldest lady was stunned when she looked at everyone, and then looked at her daughter-in-law, Everyone is here, what is going on?

Mrs. Zeng hurriedly stood up and asked her mother-in-law to sit down. She stood aside to serve her. After hearing this, she only looked at the third and fourth aunts, but did not speak.

As a junior, she naturally cannot go beyond the rules.

The third lady was an outspoken person, so she said, I don't know, and I don't know why. Sister-in-law, you don't know either?

Just as they were talking, the second lady arrived with someone. She opened the door and came in. Xu was walking in a hurry, her face was slightly red. When she saw everyone, she said: I want you to run around. I have something to do here. I don't know what to do. Let’s discuss it with everyone.”

The eldest lady knew that the second lady had always been quiet and unconventional, so she asked: Second brother and sister, just tell me what is going on. Today is a good day, and we are all happy.

The second lady smiled when she heard this and said, When the dowry was being put into the treasury, the mother in charge over there came over and whispered to me that Su Qi's wife brought a whole box of rare and ancient books in the dowry. Only the four younger siblings in our family knew about this. , but because of this box of ancient books, I don’t know what to do with the three dynasties’ return gifts, so I invite everyone to come over and talk about it.”

The corner of the third lady's mouth twitched, Just for this little thing? Second sister-in-law, I'm not telling you, how big of a deal can this be? It's worth calling all of us over. However, it seems that the Zhao family didn't mention the dowry in ancient books. Is it something? Besides, we are a family of military commanders. What does the Zhao family mean by having a dowry box? Are you kidding us that we don’t have enough education?

The fourth lady covered her face, fearing that the third lady would really misunderstand the Zhao family and make it difficult for Su Qi's daughter-in-law to behave in the future, so she hurriedly said: Third sister-in-law, when I got married, there were many rare books in my dowry, but I didn't have the Zhao family to accompany me. That’s all.”

The third lady heard that the fourth lady was giving her a hint. She coughed lightly, looked at the second lady and said, Second sister-in-law, I don't have any other intentions, so don't take it to heart.

The second lady knew the temper of the third lady and knew that she meant no harm. She could not say anything. She looked at the fourth lady and said: Fourth brother and sister, you also said that with your family's financial resources, you did not distribute so many books. You What do you mean by the Zhao family? I don’t know what to do with it?

The fourth lady looked at the second lady and said, Second sister-in-law, are you overthinking it? Delivering a box of ancient books is not a strange thing. What is there to worry about?

The fourth lady felt that the second lady had thought too much. She was also given as a dowry in the first place. It was because she loved reading that the family was willing to give her one as a dowry. It was out of love for their daughter.

The eldest lady, as the wife of the clan, had different thoughts. She looked at the second lady and asked, You have seen the dowry list sent by the Zhao family. It doesn't have these things on it, right?

The second lady nodded, Yes, no. Before the fourth brother and sister got married, the Gao family sent a dowry list, and it was clearly written on it.

Things that were not on the dowry list suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was still this kind of thing. For a literati, it was a treasure in the heart. There was also a big box. Can the second lady not worry?

The eldest lady looked at the second lady and asked, Have you asked Su Qi's wife what's going on over there?

I just got married today. It's a mess and it's hard to ask questions. The second lady said.

That's true.

Those who didn't know better thought that as a mother-in-law, she wanted to show off her authority.

The eldest lady immediately stood up and looked back at her daughter-in-law, My dear sir, please ask someone to find out if anything has happened to the Zhao family recently.

Mrs. Zeng nodded immediately, Mom, I'll let someone go right now.

Zeng's family also has a father who loves reading. For scholars, rare and unique books are really rare treasures that cannot be exchanged.

The scholarly family has accumulated a lot, but a few books for a daughter is good, and a big box, unless the Zhao family has a lot of such things.

But if there were too many, it would not be considered a rare book.

Mrs. Zeng felt that her mother-in-law might be right and something might have happened to the Zhao family.

After Mrs. Zeng went out, the fourth lady looked at the second lady and said softly: I don't think it's good to ask Su Qi's daughter-in-law directly about this matter. She is a new daughter-in-law. If something happens to the Zhao family, how can we do this? If I ask, I might scare people.”

The third lady said: You are so brave as a mouse, you can't even ask a question? If something really happens to the Zhao family, we are in-laws after all, and at least we know that we won't say anything wrong? To bring people over like this quietly, I don’t know what it is, but I always feel uncomfortable.”

The third lady's words are not unreasonable. No family is willing to marry a daughter-in-law who will cause trouble as soon as she enters the house.

But the marriage has been decided a long time ago. If the Zhao family is sincere, if they really encounter something major that cannot be solved, they must at least make the in-laws feel confident.

Regardless of whether it is involved or not, at least there must be preparations.

This is because the second lady has always been cautious and careful, and found something wrong in a box of books. If she encounters a careless person, she may not know what will happen.

The eldest lady looked at the third lady and said: Third brother and sister, the Zhao family has always had a good family tradition. Since I didn't say anything, it means that the Zhao family can solve the problem by themselves. Giving the book companion to your daughter may be because you feel sorry for your daughter, so don't think too much about it.

When the third lady heard what the eldest lady said, her face looked a little unhappy and said: Sister-in-law, I didn't say anything else, and you don't have to protect Su Qi's wife like this. Besides, what I said is the truth. When things don't matter, it's the silence that makes people angry.

The eldest lady glanced at the fourth lady. The fourth lady understood. She was not willing to fight with the third lady. Most people couldn't handle the third lady's mouth.

Third sister-in-law, let's not scare ourselves about what big things may happen to the Hanlin Academy.

Generally, nothing happens in the Hanlin Academy, but if something happens like this, it can scare someone to death. The third lady said angrily, is the Hanlin Academy an ordinary place?

Although those scholars do not have high official positions, they are people who can listen to the heavens and can speak in front of His Majesty.
