Chapter 415: The Princess
Latest website:
Zheng Yu was wearing wedding clothes and big red flowers, smiling like a silly boy.
He came to the bride and said with a smile, "Jinbao, I'm here to pick you up."
The head covered with a red hijab hung slightly.
Can little treasure be shy too?
Not only Zheng Yu, but also Jiang Yixi, Meng Cimo, and Li Kai were puzzled.
Xi Niang helped Li Zhenbao up and came to the hall with Zheng Yu, where they both knelt in front of King Yong.
King Yong choked with sobs and said, "Son-in-law, Bao'er is my heart and soul, you can't let her suffer the slightest injustice."
Zheng Yu kowtowed and said, "Father-in-law, please rest assured that my son-in-law will love Zhenbao wholeheartedly and do everything possible to make her happy."
King Yong couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears. "You must keep your word."
Zheng Yu said firmly, "My son-in-law does what he says, and everyone present is a witness."
Li Zhenbao said with joy, "Father..."
King Yong couldn't see his daughter's face and knew that she was crying. He coaxed, "Don't cry, Bao'er. Marrying is a happy event. You must honor your parents-in-law. If you are wronged by anyone, go home and tell your father..."
He couldn't speak anymore and cried loudly.
Li Kai hurried over and said, "Sister, big brother will carry you to the sedan chair."
Li Zhenbao kowtowed to King Yong, stood up and climbed on top of Li Kai.
The sound of the sedan chair and the silk and bamboo silk gradually faded away, and when the daughter came back she would go back to her parents' home. The more Yong Wang cried, the sadder he became. He cried harder than any mother who married a daughter.
The princes who were watching the ceremony were angry and funny, and tried to persuade him.
An elderly prince asked, "I heard that the emperor also rewards small treasures?"
Everyone is murmuring in their hearts, no matter how much they are granted the title of princess, they will not be granted the title of princess, right? If the princess is granted the title of a princess and she wants to build a princess palace, Zheng Yu is the consort and will not be in charge of the army anymore.
Prince Yong felt better after hearing this. Zhenbao'er had that special title. Even if she was gone, as long as she didn't disobey the king, no one would dare to bully her.
In Xinyuexuan of Zheng Shaobao Mansion, waves of laughter could be heard.
Under the guidance of Xi Niang, the groom and the bride had just completed the ceremony of tying their buns and drinking the Henu wine, when the woman from the outer courtyard ran in to report.
"Master, grandma, the emperor's decree and the Queen Mother's decree are here. The old lady asks you to go and receive the decree."
Everyone knew that the reward was coming from the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and there was another burst of congratulations.
Zheng Yu and Li Zhenbao went to the outer courtyard. Eucalyptus was placed in front of the ceremony gate. Zheng Lao Shao Bao, Zheng Song and others were waiting here.
Zheng Yu, Li Zhenbao and others knelt down to receive the order.
The emperor made Li Zhenbao the Grand Princess and Zheng Yu the Marquis of Chengen. The Queen Mother praised Li Zhenbao profusely and rewarded her with many good things.
The title of "Grand Princess" did not exist before. It was specially created for Li Zhenbao at the request of the Queen Mother. He enjoys the same treatment as a princess, but does not have some of the restrictions of a princess.
Zheng Yu was granted the title of "Marquis", a title higher than that of "Captain Prince Consort".
The Zheng family's popularity was unprecedented, and everyone present congratulated them in unison.
Zheng was so excited that he raised his hands towards the palace and said, "The emperor's grace is so great, the emperor's grace is so great."
Li Zhenbao knew that she would be named "Grand Princess", but she didn't expect that Zheng Yu would be given a title, and she felt grateful.
After sending the waiter away, Zheng Yu sent Li Zhenbao back to Xinyue Xuan before going to the front yard to drink with the guests.
The guests all went to the wedding banquet, but Cuncun and Yin'er refused to go.
Cuncun said, "If I don't go, I won't go. I want to eat with my godmother."
As soon as Aunt Zhenbao gets married, they will change their name to "godmother".
Yin'er added, "I still want to sleep with my godmother."
Her words made everyone laugh.
Zhao Qiuyue joked, "If that happens, General Zheng won't be able to beat you out."
Second Grandma Meng and Third Grandma Meng held back their laughter and coaxed the two children out.
At the end of Xu Shi, Meng Cimo returned to Fushengju with his two children.
After not seeing my mother all day, the two children slipped from the wet nurse's arms and ran to hug their mother.
Yin'er Nuonuo said, "The bride is beautiful."
Cuncun was not interested in beauty, so he took a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yixi, "Mother, my son earned it, so be filial to your mother."
This is the big red envelope he got from having sex.
The wet nurse said with a smile, "I said you would help me keep it, but I don't want to, so I have to carry it myself and hand it over to my eldest grandma."
Jiang Yixi smiled and kissed her, "What a good son."
The mother and son were affectionate for a while, and then the servants took Cuncun and Yin'er to rest.
Jiang Yixi told Meng Cimo, "Xun'er has prepared 10,000 taels of silver for his betrothal gift. I want to use another 8,000 taels of private money to give him eighteen thousand taels."
When the family was separated, Jiang Xun was given 10,000 taels of silver. The old lady only gave Jiang Xun half of the property that she helped the second house keep, which was 2,500 taels of silver and some ornaments. Jiang Xun spent some money on buying property and decorating the yard.
Even though I spent almost all my money, I could only get 10,000 taels of silver to buy the betrothal gift.
As far as Jiang Yixi knew, the dowry given to Zheng Tingting by the Zheng family and the eldest princess's mansion amounted to thirty thousand taels of silver.
In this comparison, Jiang Xun's betrothal gift is quite different.
The Jiang family was originally in a low position, so Jiang Yixi wanted to make Jiang Xun's betrothal gift look better.
Meng Cimo smiled and said, "You can use your private room however you want. Eighteen thousand taels are not as good as twenty thousand taels. I, my brother-in-law, will give you another two thousand taels."
Jiang Yixi smiled sweetly, "I have a lot of private houses now, I will just take ten thousand taels."
In addition to the output of the fields, she earned thousands of taels of silver from food every year. Nanfeng Pavilion's business was very good, and she had a 10% share in several workshops that Li Zhenbao later opened.
She now earns nearly ten thousand taels of silver per year.
She wanted to take out 10,000 taels of silver before, but she didn't want people to say that she cared too much about her family, so she reduced it to 8,000 taels.
Meng Cimo smiled and said, "When a brother-in-law marries a wife, a brother-in-law should also contribute. I will contribute the two thousand taels."
In the evening of the next day, Meng Cimo's yamen called Jiang Xun to the Duke Cheng's Mansion, saying that his sister had something to do with him.
After the meal, Meng Cimo took her children out to eat, and Jiang Yixi handed over 10,000 taels of silver to Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun's face turned red, and he shook his head and refused, "There is no reason to ask my sister and brother-in-law to help pay for the betrothal gift. The Zheng family and Tingting both know that I am poor, and they will not care about the small betrothal gift."
Jiang Yixi said angrily, "My parents are not here, and my sister is the person you are closest to, so why not provide some money? The Zheng family and Tingting don't care, but others will gossip. Tingting is a good girl, don't let her be wronged in any way."
…”
After working for a long time, Jiang Xun accepted it. He also said, "I'm borrowing it from my sister. I'll pay it back when I have money."
Jiang Yixi shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my sister and brother-in-law gave it to you. There is no need to return it."
I thought to myself, my sister owed you something in her previous life.
The two discussed how to purchase the betrothal gift before Jiang Xun left.
Li Zhenbao returned to her parents' home on the tenth day of August.
Because Jiang Yixi was her adopted sister and Li Zhenbao's biological mother was away, Prince Yong sent someone to send a letter to Jiang Yixi, asking her to go to Prince Yong's Mansion on the tenth day of the lunar month.
