A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The box that Zhuang Weining handed to Lin Qingyang was small and exquisite, with a satin surface, like a rouge box, but slightly wider than a rouge box.

“After I leave, take your time to look at it by yourself. Remember, don’t tell anyone else.” Zhuang Weining instructed carefully.

Lin Qingyang took the box and the letter, carefully put them away, pretended nothing had happened, and continued chatting with Zhuang Weining. After only a cup of tea, Duke Qing and his family left.

These people came and went, some to give gifts, some to pay a visit, all came and left in a hurry.

Lin Qingyang returned to the room and asked Zi Su to tidy up the house. She said that she wanted to take a short rest and sent all the maids and servants away.

After Lin Qingyang saw the servants leave, he took out the exquisite box, opened it and saw several bills inside.

Lin Qingyang looked through these bills one by one. They were deeds for some land and several shops.

Lin Qingyang was curious why Duke Qing gave her these things and why they were packed in such a beautiful box.

The gifts given by others are gold, silver or ordinary objects. It is rare to see gifts given to shops or land.

Thinking of Zhuang Weining's instructions just now, "Don't let others know", Lin Qingyang became more and more puzzled. It was very strange to give gifts without letting others know.

Lin Qingyang glanced at the letter. On the envelope was written “From the eldest daughter of the Lin family”.

Lin Qingyang opened the letter and read it carefully. This letter was written to her by Duke Qingguo.

Duke Qing said in the letter that Princess An and Lin Ye were cousins ​​and both had great business acumen. They were both famous beauties in the capital at that time and made a lot of money because of their excellent business skills.

The two of them had many businesses in the capital, and later Duke Qing ran them together and made quite a bit of money. However, someone later coveted their property, so they transferred their apparent assets to other people.

Therefore, although most of the industries in Beijing seem to have nothing to do with them, they are actually run by them behind the scenes.

After something unexpected happened in Lin Ye's family, he handed over his property to Duke Qing for management.

Now that Lin Ye's daughter is getting married, these items should be returned as dowry.

A tall tree attracts the wind. Try not to show these properties to others. Just record them in the gift list. Someone will be arranged to transfer the money later. Please be careful.

After reading the letter, Lin Qingyang thought: What you need is what you get. Who would have thought that Duke Qing would suddenly send the house deed and land deed.

Although Lin Qingyang knew that his mother had a mind for business and had run the farm very well, he did not know that his mother also had some shops in the capital.

Everything happened so quickly that for a moment he could not tell whether it was true or not. If his mother had teamed up with Princess An to do business, then that meant Princess An should have had a share of the finances. Duke Qing kept telling himself to be careful, so the wealth in his mother's hands had reached the point where it was dangerous for him.

So, Duke Qing has been helping his mother run the business. Will Duke Qing know about his mother's affairs? Duke Qing, who seems to be an idle cloud and wild crane, always appears at the critical moment. What is the truth? It feels closer and closer.

Three days before the wedding, the prince came to Lin Xiangfu. This time, the prince also sent a gift.

After not seeing him for two months, the prince looked a little thinner.

Lin Qingyang didn't want to have too much communication with the prince. After all, the prince had asked the emperor for permission to grant her marriage in front of many palace ministers. She was almost going to the prince's mansion, but now she had to marry his cousin.

In her past life, the prince had loved her, but also ignored her, and finally only suspected her. What was the use of being affectionate? She couldn't feel pity for the prince. He was just a person who liked the new and disliked the old. Why should she sympathize with him?

The prince was waiting for Lin Qingyang in Minister Lin's study. It was Minister Lin who asked someone to find Lin Qingyang and said that the prince wanted to see her.

Lin Qingyang performed the ceremony according to the rules. Now she was just the legitimate daughter of the Lin family.

When the prince saw her, there were many things in his eyes.

The prince held a half-foot long box in his hand. He placed the box on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Qingyang.

"After all, people are in high spirits when they are happy. Miss Lin looks good, so I guess she is in a good mood today."

"Miss Lin, this is a gift for you. It's not a valuable item. I hope you will accept it."

The prince spoke in a low voice.

"I found that Jing Sui is really smart. When we were young, we fought over a goshawk. Later, my father gave the hawk to the then prince of Qi. We also fought over something else, but my father gave it to someone else. Later, Liang Jing Sui stopped fighting with me for anything and always looked like he didn't care. After that, some of the things I wanted were obtained naturally without anyone fighting for them. I thought Jing Sui didn't dare to fight or didn't want to fight."

The prince paused.

"Who knows? He has figured out the emperor's personality. I am the only one who is stupid. I fight for whatever I want. It's not that Liang Jingsui doesn't fight, but it's dispensable and there is no need to fight."

The prince kept looking ahead and didn't even look at Lin Qingyang.

"Liang Jingsui is so calculating. Princess Qi and Duke Qing don't want to marry you as their daughter-in-law. They just want to find two people to compete with me. As long as there are people competing, my father will give the things they are fighting for to others, whether it's people or things. It's the same."

After the prince finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lin Qingyang.

"Miss Lin, do you really want to marry him?"

Lin Qingyang opened her round eyes and looked at Prince Liang Jingquan like a fool.

"Yes, I suppose."

Lin Qingyang thought to herself, even if I don’t want to marry him, I really don’t want to marry you. One cannot fall into the same river twice. Making the same mistake once is enough. Why are you pretending to be affectionate in front of me?

"Then I sincerely congratulate Miss Lin on her wedding."

After the prince left, Lin Qingyang took the gift box sent by the prince back to her own yard, put the box on the table, and said something casually.

"This is a gift from the prince, remember it."

Zi Su opened the box and took a look. It was a jade doll. Next to it was a wooden carved doll. They were made from the same mold and looked very much like Lin Qingyang.

Zi Su put the box away, looked at her daughter who was standing next to her as if nothing had happened, and sighed, "Now our daughter has a really broad mind."

"What can I do if I'm not lenient? I've already given them the gift, and I can't just return it!" Lin Qingyang said.

"Girl, aren't you afraid that your son-in-law will be jealous? After all, the prince almost married you. Now it's obvious that he sent this gift on purpose. That wooden figurine must have been carved by him. Prince An will be angry if he finds out!"

"Why is he so angry? I married him, not anyone else. How can I control what others think and do? Wouldn't he be so busy?"

Lin Qingyang poured himself a cup of tea and ate two bites of the snack. Then he told Juer and Zisu:

"Come out with me later, and ask Xiaoshun to pass a message to Zhuang Weining. Tell her that I want to eat the dim sum at Xiangmanlou, and ask her to arrange it. After all, you can't go out openly after getting married."

After giving instructions, the servant replied that everything was ready, and Lin Qingyang went out under the pretext of getting the wedding dress. The prince had become a thing of the past, so shouldn't she look forward?
