Xu Jinzheng Zhang Er Jingang was confused, and saw a small sedan chair carried by two bearers quickly and stopped in front of it. The curtain of the sedan chair was immediately lifted, and the old eunuch who was the personal bodyguard of Prince Xing Zhu Youyuan slowly got out.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He stepped forward and said, "Mr. An, could it be that you had people send these to you?"

This old eunuch is called An Dahai, and he is a confidant eunuch of King Xing Zhu Youyuan. He was responsible for taking care of Zhu Youyuan before he was canonized as King Xing. Later, he followed Zhu Youyuan to Anluzhou, Huguang to become a vassal, and served Xing. Wang is an old man of more than 40 years.

Mr. An said with a smile on his face: "Our family would like to congratulate Mr. Xu."

"May I ask Mr. An where his happiness comes from?"

Eunuch An said with a smile: "The Xie family has a daughter, Xiaowan, who is gentle, kind and virtuous. She is beautiful and wise. She has taken good care of His Highness the Crown Prince for more than half a year. She is like a brother and sister. My prince misses her deeply and has reported to the clan to accept Xiaowan as his adopted daughter. These are the dowries that the prince gave to Miss Xiaowan. They were all purchased hastily by the old slave, and there may be some imperfections. I hope Mr. Xu will not take offense."

Eunuch An said and handed a thick stack of gift notes to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin stood dumbfounded with the stack of gifts. Prince Xing Zhu Youyuan actually accepted Xiao Wan as his adopted daughter. Wouldn't Xiao Wan then become the princess? If Zhu Houcong sat on the throne in the future, wouldn't he be upgraded to a princess? And he himself If you're not careful, you'll end up attached to the horse.

In fact, Xu Jin thought too much. Even if the vassal king's biological child wants to be canonized as a princess and princess, he must be canonized by the emperor, let alone the adopted daughter adopted by the vassal king. Of course, if Zhu Houcong wants to canonize Xie Xiaowan as a princess in the future, Princess, that's a different story!

The brothers of the Xie family were surprised and delighted that their sister was actually adopted by King Xing as their adopted daughter. Her status and status were completely different. She was just above the three girls of the Fei family. Even if her brother-in-law really married her in the future, he would not be the same. You no longer have to worry about your sister being crushed.

Xu Jin didn't know how to react when he took the stack of gift slips. He didn't understand the etiquette in this area at all.

When Eunuch An saw this, he didn't understand. He took the gift list from Xu Jin and read it loudly: "The dowry items of Prince Xing's Mansion are as follows: a thousand taels of silver, a maid, a rosewood three-screen Arhat bed, a nanmu bookcase, Ten pieces of silk, one handle of agarwood inlaid with Ruyi jade, one handle of Ruyi jade... a pair of bright red embroidered shoes with buckles in the copper basin, six boxwood combs..."

Mr. An read the long gift list for a full quarter of an hour. Apart from the lack of real estate, wooden furniture, ornaments, clothing, cosmetics and daily necessities, there are nearly a hundred of them. This is also the result of hasty purchase. If a regular princess were to marry, this number would probably be several times higher.

An Dahai read out the gift list and waved his hand. Amidst the envious eyes and exclamations of the people around him, all the dowry items were moved into the house in order, filling the yard of dozens of square meters. This was what Eunuch An had considered. The Xu Jin family's house is too small, so they didn't buy too many large pieces of furniture, otherwise they might fill up the yard.

Xie Xiaowan, who had just gotten up, was stunned by the scene in front of her. Her mouth opened into an "O" shape and she could not close it for a long time.

Eunuch An handed the gift list to Xu Jin and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, all the dowry for Miss Xiaowan has been delivered. I will go back to the prince to report my life. In addition, I have to remind you, From now on, Miss Xiaowan will be the adopted daughter of the prince, and the prince's family must have the dignity of the prince's family. In the future, Miss Xiaowan must not be allowed to appear in public and do some vulgar business in the market."

Xu Jin secretly sweated, it seemed that the haggis shop could no longer be opened in the future, but that was fine. If he had not been forced by the situation, he would not have wanted Xiaowan to get up early and work in the dark to make money.

Next, Xu Jin didn't need to be reminded by Eunuch An, and asked Xiao Wan to take some copper coins and give them to the helpers who helped carry the dowry. These people were all temporarily brought in by Eunuch An to help. After all, Zhu Youyuan came from Huguang in a hurry and could not bring him with him. With so many people, even the dowry money was borrowed from local gentry.

It is said that banks and bank accounts similar to banks only appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. At this time, there was no service for depositing and withdrawing cash at any time. Silver and copper coins are heavy metals, and they are extremely heavy when they are large in quantity, making it extremely inconvenient to go out. King Xing came from Huguang in a hurry and could not bring so much money with him, so he temporarily borrowed money from the local gentry in Shangrao County to pay for Xie Xiaowan's dowry.

In addition, although treasure banknotes were issued in the early Ming Dynasty, the government issued them in large quantities indiscriminately, and their value was ridiculously depreciated, causing public resentment. The people had no use for this thing for a long time. In the Zhengde Dynasty, they simply abolished it and no longer issued treasure banknotes. Banknote.

Eunuch An left with a group of helpers, and the house finally became quiet, but the dowry filling the yard was a headache.

In addition, what Xie Xiaowan is most unaccustomed to is the little maid as a dowry. This little maid is called Xiaoyue. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old and has a sweet appearance. She is a maid trained by Prince Xing’s palace. Originally, this time The accompanying person was supposed to take care of the eldest son Zhu Houcong, but in the end, Zhu Houcong passed it on and gave it to Xie Xiaowan as a dowry maid.

Xie Xiaowan was born in a poor family and was used to being served by others, but Xiaoyue followed her closely, calling her a lady, which made Xie Xiaowan extremely uncomfortable.

It was close to noon when all the dowries piled in the yard were moved into the house. It was said that the maid who had received formal training from the palace was indeed a professional. She arranged hundreds of items in an orderly manner, which made Xie Xiaowan worry-free.

When he was about to have lunch, Zhu Houcong stepped in and walked in. This boy was wearing brand new clothes today, looking like a nobleman, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he proudly started "inspecting" and saw the room full of people. With new furniture and new decorations, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother-in-law, sister Xiaowan, is there anything missing at home? I'll ask Eunuch An to deliver it later."

While Zhu Houcong was talking, he naturally served himself a bowl of rice, sat down next to Xie Xiaowan and started eating, which almost shocked the maid Xiaoyue's jaw.

Xu Jin said casually: "His Royal Highness, it is better to give him a big house first. There is no room for it here."

Zhu Houcong chuckled: "Don't tell me yet, I am indeed going to give a big house to Sister Xiaowan."

Xu Jin was stunned: "You can't be serious, can you?"

Xie Xiaowan said uneasily: "Your Highness, please say goodbye. The things you have now are valuable enough. If you give me a house as a gift, Xiaowan can't bear it."

Zhu Houcong said disapprovingly: "What can't I afford? I plan to give the entire Shangrao County to Sister Xiaowan, but it's a pity that I don't have the power."

The maid Xiaoyue almost dropped her jaw again and was so shocked. No wonder His Royal Highness begged the prince to accept Xie Xiaowan as his adopted daughter. It seems that he has a really deep feeling for this person.

"Stop talking nonsense, even if you have this power, what use does my sister have to the entire Shangrao County?" Xie Xiaowan was moved and funny, and subconsciously reached out to touch Zhu Houcong's little head.

"You will have this power in a few years, and it will be up to you whether you give it away or not!" Xu Jin thought to himself.

After everyone chatted about their family affairs and finished the meal, Zhu Houcong mysteriously took out a house deed from his arms and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, the dowry from my father has been delivered. This is from my son, take it.

You must be kind to Sister Xiaowan in the future, otherwise I will not be able to spare you." After saying that, he pushed the house deed in front of Xu Jin.

"You... really gave me the house!" Xu Jin picked up the house deed and took a look, and he was so shocked that he blurted out: "The carriage and horse are ready!"

The house deed that Zhu Houcong handed over to Xu Jin turned out to be the sealed Hengfeng Horse Racing Store across the street.

Zhu Houcong said proudly: "Didn't Sister Xiaowan want to help the coachmen in a carriage and horse shop? I told my father-in-law and Uncle Sun, and bought the carriage and horse shop in the name of Prince Xing's Mansion and gave it to Sister Xiaowan to run.

.”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and said seriously: "Your Highness, we cannot accept this gift!"

Zhu Houcong suddenly said displeased: "Why can't you accept it? Do you still want Sister Xiaowan to run the haggis shop early in the morning and in the dark? The carriage and horse shop is different. You can hire someone to take care of it, and it doesn't have to be as hard as Sister Xiaowan.

to make money.”
