I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

what?

The huge betrothal gift was not from their second branch, but from the Prince of Zhenbian to Fu Yushu?

In an instant, Fu Jingxuan, like his mother, seemed to be struck by lightning!

Not only did his smiling face freeze, but his heart almost stopped!

All the wealth just flew away like that?

Flying?

Flying?!

Fu Jingxuan couldn't believe it for a long time. He found it hard to accept!

When he finally came to his senses, he heard the gift list read by the Prime Minister Chen Jia. Comparing the two, the Prime Minister Chen Jia was simply...

"Shabby, so shabby!"

Fu Jingxuan glared at Chen Daiyu angrily and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your brother is the eldest son of your family after all, and you only give such a small betrothal gift to marry a wife?"

"How is your family?"

"what?!"

Chen Daiyu got angry and immediately shouted back:

"Bah, how did you propose to me in the first place? You didn't even give me a single valuable thing! And I didn't even see any betrothal money! My family at least gave me more than a dozen valuable things, and a betrothal money of 20,000!"

Fu Jingxuan sneered, "Bah! What's the use of 20,000 taels? They gave 500,000 taels! Your father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and you only give him 20,000 taels as a gift for marrying a daughter-in-law?"

"Is it cold?"

"Isn't it embarrassing?"

"If I had known this, I would not have allowed my sister to live with you!"

His sister is a beautiful girl, so beautiful! She can be just like Fu Yushu, once she meets the right person, she will become a princess in one step!

Thinking of this, Fu Jingxuan suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss!

There was such deep disgust in his eyes and in his heart!

As a result, he began to dislike Chen Daiyu more and more, especially when he saw the black holes where Chen Daiyu's two missing front teeth were. He pushed her away with disgust, and her back hit the hard railing. The pain made her face change instantly.

Fu Jingxuan, however, acted as if he didn't see anything. He strode down the corridor with a cold face, ran out of the main room without looking back, and returned to the second room.

Chen Daiyu was so angry that she grimaced in pain and cursed:

"What? What happened to the Prime Minister's family? Does the Prime Minister's family deserve poverty alleviation? My parents did the right thing, so they don't need poverty alleviation!"

"You don't need to be generous when marrying the daughter of a poor and broke man!"

"Just give them some alms and get rid of them!"

The last two sentences were said by Chen Daiyu deliberately for Fu Yuxuan to hear when she caught a glimpse of the fourth girl at the other end of the corridor!

Tsk, do you think you can live a glorious life from now on just by hooking up with her elder brother?

Pooh!

Just wait and see, after she gets married, see how her mother will set rules for Fu Yuxuan!

snort!

Chen Daiyu gave Fu Yuxuan a deep look, twisted her waist, left the main room and returned to the second room.

At this time, Fu Yuxuan was squatting on the ground, trying to rescue the second wife, Qiao, who had fainted on the ground due to anger, by pinching her philtrum hard.

"Mother, mother..."

Fu Yuxuan was rescuing the patient while calling out calmly.

Fortunately, Fu Yuxuan's technique was effective, and half a minute later, Second Madam Qiao woke up.

But it would be better if she didn't wake up. I could see the sorrow in Second Madam Qiao's eyes!

She grabbed Fu Yuxuan's hand and said sadly, "Xuan'er, you have been a beauty since you were young, and you are no worse than Fu Yushu. If you hadn't been delayed by Chen Peiting, if you had waited a little longer, maybe you could have married into a high position and become a princess."

That betrothal gift...

Naturally, it can be as generous as Fu Yushu's, which can directly help their second family get rid of poverty and become rich, and live a good life in a flash!

Fu Yuxuan: …

Hearing this, I was speechless at my mother's wild imagination.

However, looking at the twenty-two loads of betrothal gifts piled up in the corridor, Fu Yuxuan frowned slightly.

According to the criteria for betrothal of officials in the capital, sixty-six loads of horsetails were required to be qualified. The Chen family of the chief minister only gave twenty-two loads of horsetails... obviously far below the standard.

But there is a reason for this. It should be a return gift for the six loads of betrothal gift given by my elder brother last year.

For a moment, Fu Yuxuan found it difficult to describe the feeling in her heart.

~

That evening, Fu Yuxuan was helping her parents count the betrothal gifts and register them in the warehouse when suddenly a little white dove flew in.

Fu Yuxuan recognized at a glance that it was the one raised by Chen Peiting.

She quickly held the little white dove and pulled out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube tied to her feet. When she opened it, she saw that it was Chen Peiting who asked her to meet at Baiwei Teahouse two alleys away after her shift.

Said it was something important.

Fu Yuxuan felt that this important matter might be related to the betrothal gift. Maybe she wanted to... appease her.

Fu Yuxuan did not refuse. She handed the warehouse inventory to the housekeeper and went back to her boudoir to dress up.

She even specially put on... the pair of red gold hairpins that Chen Peiting bought for her a few months ago.

Finally, she went out holding a green oil-paper umbrella and wearing a light green dress. As Baiwei Tea House was not far away, she saved money by not taking a carriage and walked there herself.

She walked through two not-so-long alleys and arrived at Baiwei Teahouse early, where she sat down and waited obediently for her fiancé to arrive.

"Xuan'er." Half an hour later, Chen Peiting appeared in front of her wearing court robes.

"Brother Peiting." Fu Yuxuan stood up to greet him with a slightly blushing face.

Seeing her face slightly red, and no resentment or anger in her eyes, it was obvious that she was a good girl who knew what was going on and did not blame Chen Peiting for the unsatisfactory betrothal gift.

Chen Peiting loves her even more!

He met such a good girl and he felt that he was the luckiest man in the world!

"Xuan'er." Chen Peiting held Fu Yuxuan's hand, took her to sit down, and then whispered in her ear with a smile, "I didn't come here for nothing today. I have a gift for you."

After saying that, he stuffed a ball of paper into Fu Yuxuan's little hand.

He encouraged her, "Xuan'er, open it and take a look."

Fu Yuxuan pursed her lips and smiled, then immediately opened the paper ball. She took a quick glance at it and was completely stunned!

——There were three pieces of white paper in total, all of which were densely written with words, and each one was an extra gift for her... a betrothal gift!

"Brother Peiting, what, what is this?" Fu Yuxuan looked at Chen Peiting in disbelief.

But Chen Peiting smiled and said, "This is what my parents meant. The betrothal gift is only so small, and we will give you some more in private... as a dowry."

"I rented a small courtyard with two entrances on this street, and the dowry is temporarily stored there."

Dowry means that the dowry is not left in the parents' home but is taken back to the husband's home.

Fu Yuxuan understood that her future in-laws did not like her parents and brother, but had no problem with her, so they were only willing to give her some valuable things in private, including an additional 50,000 taels of gift money and some land deeds, real estate, and shops.

Fu Yuxuan expressed her understanding of this arrangement.

Seeing that she had no doubts at all, Chen Peiting breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he couldn't help but secretly kiss her white and smooth cheek.

Fu Yuxuan lowered her head shyly.

Soon, the waiter brought two cups of Tieguanyin tea, red plum crispy cake and a plate of fruit platter. Fu Yuxuan had ordered this in the morning and asked the waiter Chen Peiting to serve it after he arrived.

Seeing that there weren't many orders and they were all his favorites, Chen Peiting smiled and asked the waiter to bring a few more... desserts that Fu Yuxuan liked.

Fu Yuxuan was eating sweetly when she suddenly felt bloated. She got up with a red face and went to the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, when leaving the bathroom, he accidentally heard two of Chen Peiting's servants chatting there.

"Our eldest young master is really good to Fourth Miss Fu. He even emptied his private vault just to make Fourth Miss Fu feel better."

"Hey, because of this incident, our young master will have to live frugally from now on... Life will be hard..."

Fu Yuxuan: ???

His eyes rolled and he immediately understood.

The additional betrothal gift was not given by the parents-in-law, but was a private act of Chen Peiting.

Fu Yuxuan was half happy and half worried for a moment.

What worries her is that her parents-in-law seem to... dislike her, but what makes her happy is that Chen Peiting treats her really well!

Pursing her lips slightly, the always optimistic Fu Yuxuan finally let her joy prevail. She returned to Chen Peiting with a sweet heart, and when she walked around behind his chair, she suddenly bent down and quickly kissed Chen Peiting on the cheek...

Chen Peiting was stunned.

It’s been over half a year since His Majesty granted the marriage, and this is the first time that Fu Yuxuan... has taken the initiative to kiss him!

Chen Peiting couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, blushed slightly, lowered his head and smiled happily.

Fu Yuxuan shyly returned to her seat and continued to eat her dessert.

Maybe it was because her heart was sweeter, so even the dessert in her mouth changed its taste and became sweeter...

~

In a blink of an eye, another month passed and soon it was the sixth day of June.

This day is the wedding day of my elder sister Fu Yusu.

Because her mother was about to give birth, the imperial physician said that it was not appropriate to work too hard in the next two days, so Fu Yuzheng took the initiative to help her mother share the burden.

Look, it’s not even dawn yet, but Fu Yuzheng, who always likes to sleep in, has gotten up early and is busy in and out of her sister’s boudoir.

As the sister-in-law, Cui Jiaojiao naturally has to take charge.

Fortunately, after five months of experience as a housekeeper, Cui Jiaojiao, the mistress of the house, has become quite mature and can arrange all matters in an orderly manner.

Fu Yuzheng saw it and was happy.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived, and the bridesmaid came to the door happily, urging the bride to get on the sedan chair: "The auspicious time has arrived, the bride, please move."

Hearing this, Fu Yuzheng picked up the red veil and covered her sister with it herself.

Before she put the veil on, Fu Yuzheng couldn't help but look at her sister a few more times because she was so beautiful in her gorgeous dress before she was willing to slowly put the red veil down.

Then she handed her sister over to the two matchmakers from the palace.

With the help of two bridesmaids, Fu Yushu slowly walked out of the room.

"Wow."

When the bride came out, all the relatives and friends in the corridor stared at her in amazement, especially Fu Yushu's friend Meng Yangwan, who exclaimed:

"The princess is different. Even her wedding gown is different from that of ordinary brides."

Fu Yushu was wearing a bright red wedding gown with dragons and phoenixes embroidered on the collar, cuffs and hem of her skirt in gold thread.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, clothing hierarchy was strict, and clothes with dragon and phoenix patterns were not something that ordinary officials' wives could wear.

As Fu Yushuo took light steps, the dragon and phoenix on her skirt seemed to take off together, soaring in the sky in a glittering golden glow.

It's really dazzling!

In an instant, the eyes of relatives and friends were blinded!

Even if these ordinary wives of officials live until their death, they will never be able to wear such high-quality clothes!

Fu Yushu had a red veil on her head and could not see the expressions and eyes of the people around her, but she could hear their constant voices of envy.

Fu Yushu lowered her head slightly, but she could still see the dragon and phoenix flying freely on her skirt.

They are really beautiful!
