A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 47 Dowry
Lin Qingyang asked Zi Su to keep the gift list. Princess Qi came to deliver the gift list today, and these items will be delivered to her door in a few days, which saves her a lot of trouble. Princess Qi didn't look too careful, but she didn't expect to be so careful.
After Princess Qi returned home, Prince An came to Prince Qi's mansion not long after.
"How many spies have you planted around me? As soon as I entered, you came right after me. Are you afraid that I won't be able to do my job well? Then why don't you go and send it off yourself?"
Princess Qi's tone was slightly annoyed, as if she was losing her temper, but she had a smile on her face as she blamed Prince An.
Little Prince An smiled.
“If you were worried, how could you dare ask Princess Qi to help you on this journey? But now she is under your name and is your adopted daughter. If you go to deliver these things, no one will say anything. If I go, I’m afraid I’ll be gossiped about.” Prince An also looked relaxed in front of Princess Qi.
"Our fearless Prince An actually has something he's afraid of." Princess Qi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.
"The Emperor's decree has already been issued. What's wrong with you sending some gifts? We all know that she has only been in the capital for a short time and can't prepare too much dowry in a short time. You can send this to her so that she knows that you care about her. Why let me bear this good reputation?"
Princess Qi asked in confusion.
"Reputation doesn't matter. I'll feel relieved once you've sent the things. After all, I don't want her to be grateful to me. If the time was not short and I was afraid that she would be anxious, I wouldn't have bothered Princess Qi. But when our adopted daughter gets married, you should also give her a dowry."
After Prince Xiao An finished speaking, Princess Qi glared at him.
"Even if we buy things, it will take some time. My shop can prepare these things faster than hers. Given the way Prime Minister Lin treats people, he will definitely not give too many gifts. She came to Beijing from the countryside, so she can't bring many things with her. It would be better to tell her some things after we get married."
Prince Xiao An will tell you in detail.
"Jing Sui, you deliberately married her back to your mansion, but in the end you said nothing. I don't know what you were planning. Anyway, I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that you like this girl, but I really like this girl. After the marriage, you must treat her sincerely, otherwise I will come to your Prince An's Mansion to ask you for her."
Princess Qi's eyes were "vicious" and she frightened Prince An.
Little Prince An started laughing.
"Since Princess Qi knows that I am plotting this, how dare I neglect her? If I do anything wrong, Princess Qi will beat and scold me without complaint."
Prince Xiao An looked at Princess Qi with a determined look, and Princess Qi said nothing more.
As the adopted daughter of Princess Qi and the county lady, Lin Qingyang no longer had to worry about her dowry. However, the time was too short for the wedding, so she gradually became busy.
After learning wedding etiquette and modifying her dress, Lin Qingyang finally understood why the emperor was so anxious to grant the marriage. How could some things be prepared in a short period of time? It was obvious that he did not want Prince An's wedding to be grand.
Lin Qingyang has felt what "tiredness" means these days.
During the day, Lin Qingyang had to learn various etiquette from the maids in the palace, and at night she had to carefully check the dowry list.
Princess Qi delivered the items on the gift list to the Lin residence in batches, sorted them into different categories, and checked them every day.
Some of Princess Qi's dowry was sent, and Lin Qingyang and Zi Su had to record it. The Lin family had prepared four boxes of study books, one box of study treasures, four-season clothes, tea sets, porcelain, bedding, ruyi, etc.
Wedding dresses need to be tailor-made, so the largest shop in Beijing came to Lin Qingyang's house to take her measurements and make the dresses. This time, it was in the name of Prince Xiao An. However, Lin Qingyang still went out to try on the dresses. After all, that day was the third day of the lunar calendar. After staying in the mansion for a long time, Prime Minister Lin allowed her to go out for normal shopping.
Wedding dresses, wedding shoes and other items are all available, and she only needs to embroider a purse. Usually, Lin Qingyang dislikes doing these needlework the most, but now she has to do it, after all, this item cannot be embroidered by others.
"Alas, this small embroidery needle, why is it so disobedient?" After being pricked by the needle several times, Lin Qingyang couldn't help but sigh. She embroidered the purse while wailing. Although Lin Qingyang didn't like embroidery, she still embroidered it well.
Although time was tight, all the necessary etiquette had to be performed on Prince Xiao An's side, including three letters and six engagements, and all the necessary formalities were completed.
The betrothal gifts from Prince Xiao An were in accordance with the prince's rules. All the betrothal gifts were prepared to the highest standards. Not to mention the gold and silver as betrothal gifts, all other items were of the best quality.
After all, she was born in the royal family and was raised by the empress dowager. For a time, many noble ladies in the capital were jealous of her. They did not expect that a country girl would be so popular.
Lin Qingyang felt that she had not been treated unfairly.
The Lin residence was busy for a few days, and everyone was busy. Lin Meier was envious and sarcastic. In front of Lin Qingyang, she said that she married a dandy prince in the capital, but in private, she envied the dowry that Princess Qi prepared for her.
In short, Lin Meir is probably the only one with the most free time in the entire Lin Mansion.
Although Lin Qingyang has been very busy in the past two months, she always has some suitable reasons to go out on the third day of every month, so the business of the clinic has not been delayed at all.
Lin Qingyang sometimes thought that Zhuang Yunlin really never let her have any time to rest. However, after she married into Prince An’s Mansion, she wouldn’t have to go out secretly, and it would be much more convenient to go to the clinic.
After nearly two months of busy work, she was no longer as flustered as she was at the beginning. Lin Qingyang had learned almost all the rules, and she felt relaxed about marrying into Prince An's mansion, without the fear or joy of other brides.
Juer sometimes talked about her, but you couldn't tell that she was a new bride about to get married.
Most of the princes and nobles in the capital came to Prime Minister Lin’s residence to congratulate him. For the officials, this was a good opportunity for "communication". On this day, Duke Qing, who seldom went out, also came to the Prime Minister’s residence with Zhuang Yunlin and Zhuang Weining.
Zhuang Weining knew that Lin Qingyang was busy recently, so he didn't bother her much. The few times they met were mostly in the clinic.
This time, when she accompanied Duke Qing to visit the Lin residence, Zhuang Weining was finally able to spend time with Lin Qingyang. The two sisters became particularly close after they met.
"You haven't come to see me for a long time." As soon as Zhuang Weining entered the room, Lin Qingyang pulled her to sit down and blamed her for not coming to see him.
"Aren't you learning the rules? I can't help you much, so I might as well help you by not causing trouble for you." Zi Su was busy making tea and pouring water.
Zhuang Weining stared at Lin Qingyang carefully, "You are so busy, but you don't look thin."
"Eat well and sleep well, just learn some rules, why lose weight."
"I heard that brides are very nervous, how come you look like nothing happened?" Zhuang Weining asked.
"Why should I be so nervous? It's not like I'm taking an imperial examination, nor am I going to be executed. I'm just learning some rules." Lin Qingyang really didn't understand why she should be so nervous.
"Okay, I came here this time to give you a gift, but it's not from me. My father asked me to give it to you." As he said that, he took out a small box and a letter from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Qingyang.
