In the lobby of the Luo Mansion, the officials of the Zongren Mansion, at the signal of Princess Taihua, respectfully presented the betrothal gift list to Luo Yun.
For the regent's marriage, the Empress Dowager was really worried. In just a few days, the name-checking and Najib ceremony were completed. After the betrothal gift was delivered today, the wedding was completely completed.
After that comes the application period and the wedding ceremony.
But when the last two things should be completed depends on the wishes of the Luo family and His Highness the Regent.
According to the Empress Dowager's idea, the sooner the better. The Qintian Supervisor has even calculated all the auspicious days in the near future, but the Luo family may not want their girl to marry in such a hurry.
Luo Yun took the gift list recording the betrothal gift, glanced at it, and handed it to Su who was sitting next to him.
Su Shi looked at it twice more, with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
The betrothal gift from the Prince Regent's Mansion was by no means ungenerous, and it was quite astonishing even for a lady like Su who came from a noble family and had been in charge of the Luo family for many years.
Seeing Luo Yun accept the betrothal gift, the smile on the official's face became more respectful and sincere. He cupped his hands and said to everyone present: "I would like to congratulate the general on his good son-in-law, and also congratulate the prince on his good marriage."
Luo Yun glanced at Xie Yan, who was sitting next to him, and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Xie Yan looked calm on his face, but he was really relieved in his heart.
It is incredible to say that a person like him can face thousands of troops alone without changing his expression, but in the past two days, he has been quite uneasy because of the recruitment matter.
Now that I saw Luo Yun accepting the betrothal gift, I instantly felt that the heart that I had been holding on to had finally returned to its original place.
Xie Yan stood up and cupped his hands towards Luo Yun and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for making it possible."
Luo Yun's expression was distorted for a moment. He didn't expect Xie Yan to call his father-in-law without any mental barriers.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart, which prevented him from refuting that he was not yet Xie Yan's father-in-law. He nodded slightly and said, "Take good care of Yao Yao from now on. Don't let me regret today's decision."
Xie Yan said: "I will not disappoint my father-in-law."
Mr. Li from the Zongren Mansion next to him was also dumbfounded. His Royal Highness the Regent and General Luo were both known as the Gods of the Great Sheng Army, and they did not feel uncomfortable at all now that they were a head shorter than them.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is truly a very human being.
Princess Taihua, with a smile on her face, said: "Don't worry, General Luo, the second girl will never suffer any injustice after marrying Zhifei."
Luo Yun smiled and said: "The eldest princess is the guarantee, why does Luo not believe it? It's just that I have been away from the capital all year round, and I have really neglected to take care of Yaoyao these years. Now that I have just come back, I think that she will leave home soon. It's really...
I can’t bear to part with it.”
Princess Taihua advised, "This palace is only a few steps away from Luo's palace? The second girl has passed the door and there is the regent princess. When will the general want to see her? Just be relieved."
The Su family next to her also smiled and said: "The eldest princess is exactly what she said. Our two families are very happy today. I have prepared a little wine and invited the eldest princess, the prince and all of you to move over."
Princess Taihua naturally responded with a smile, and Xie Yan also thanked her.
In the past, he was friends with Luo Yun as his equal, but now he is a generation younger and has become a junior, so it is inevitable that he must be more considerate in terms of etiquette.
Fortunately, Xie Yan was not arrogant because of his high position and was able to adapt quite comfortably.
In Nuanxinyuan, Luo Mingxiang, who came back specially, was drinking tea with Luo Junyao.
Today, the Regent's Palace came to make appointments. According to the rules, Luo Junyao was not allowed to show up. There were no other sisters in the Luo family, so Luo Mingxiang came back to accompany her.
Luo Mingxiang was still a bride, wearing a princess-colored shirt and skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun, and a coral hairpin in her hair. She looked more dignified, bright, and soft as a newlywed woman than when she was at home.
Looking at her appearance, Luo Junyao knew that her married life was going very smoothly, and he was very happy for her in his heart.
"My parents were worried about your marriage earlier, but I didn't expect it to be settled so quickly." Luo Mingxiang gently waved the fan in his hand and said, "Besides, the one getting married is actually the regent."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Luo Mingxiang looked at her carefully and said with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, I think the regent is very satisfied with you."
"If even the regent is not satisfied, am I going to go to heaven?" Luo Junyao said with a smile.
Luo Mingxiang shook his head, "That's hard to say. The regent is naturally a rare and handsome man, but there are very few people who dare to get along with him. Father will not force you to agree to the marriage. It shows that you also think that the regent is still willing to marry."
good."
Luo Junyao nodded generously and admitted, "Well, I think he is very good."
Luo Mingxiang poked her cheek in a funny way, "Very good. If you don't like your temperament, I would be worried."
"Big girl, second girl."
Lan Zhen came in with the stewardess next to Su. The grandmother was holding a red booklet in her hand. Luo Mingxiang's heart moved, "Is this the betrothal gift list sent by the Prince Regent?"
Mammy smiled before she said anything, "The eldest girl guessed right. It is the betrothal gift list sent by the Regent's Palace. The general and his wife ordered their servants to send it to the second girl first. The madam said that our family does not keep any betrothal gifts. We will have all these later.
Make a dowry for the second girl and take it back."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked over and said, "So many?" This is not a betrothal gift list, it is simply an account book.
Mammy smiled and said: "Second young lady, I didn't see it. I heard that the procession bringing betrothal gifts has already entered our house, but has not yet left the Regent's Palace. This huge imperial city will probably not be destroyed for decades.
Such a generous betrothal gift."
While she was talking, grandma had already put the red booklet on the table in front of Luo Junyao, "Madam, there are still some errands, so I will leave first."
Luo Jun shook his head and still asked Lan Zhen to send her out.
After the people left, the two sisters opened the betrothal gift book and looked at it.
Luo Mingxiang's dowry was considered to be top-notch among the ladies of Shang Yong, but she couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this brochure.
"Could it be that the Prince Regent moved the entire palace here?"
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "Probably not?"
There was some hesitation. It was said that the Prince Regent's Palace was definitely not short of money, but after all, it was not the kind of family with a century-old family background. Prince Mu's Palace had not given Xie Yan any support. Even with Emperor Gaozu and the Empress Dowager, Xie Yan could barely be regarded as an emperor.
Second generation, right?
What if... the Prince Regent's Palace is really vacated because of the betrothal gift...
Seeing Luo Junyao's confused look, Luo Mingxiang couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, you are teasing me!" Luo Junyao came back to his senses and realized that he had been teased.
Luo Mingxiang shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, I'm really a little scared. To be honest, I'm afraid I won't be able to get such a betrothal gift if I sell the Chun'an Bo Mansion. But... I don't think the regent will really
He will make himself pauper. After all...it's not just a job, he will always leave some money to support you."
Most families who are not short of money and love their daughters will give betrothal gifts to their daughters as dowries and then take them back to their husbands' families, but this time it is completely different.
Once these betrothal gifts become the bride's dowry, the husband's family cannot use it at will. Even if the woman dies childless, according to law, the dowry can be taken back by the mother's family.
Luo Junyao said: "It doesn't matter. In the worst case, I will raise him."
Luo Mingxiang patted her and said, "Don't talk nonsense outside." Letting his wife support him is tantamount to incompetence for a man and he will be laughed at.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Okay."
The two of them lowered their heads and continued to look at the booklet. The value of this betrothal gift was really amazing.
There are not only land and village shops and real estate, various jewelry, pearls and jade in boxes, but also many priceless treasures and antiques, ancient calligraphy and painting books, etc., and even two famous magic weapons from ancient times.
The two of them spent more than half an hour flipping through the book before reading it from beginning to end.
Luo Mingxiang raised his head and sighed quietly: "I'm a little jealous of you."
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "Whatever eldest sister likes, just take it back."
Luo Mingxiang nodded her eyebrows helplessly, "You are quite generous."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I am only generous to my eldest sister."
Luo Mingxiang couldn't help but let out a sigh and laughed again.
"Girl, the prince is here." Ling Lan came in and announced.
Luo Junyao looked at Ling Lan and said a little strangely: "Where are Lan Yin and Lan Zhen? Why are you here?"
Although Ling Lan is her maid in name, she is actually more like a guard. Lan Yin and Lan Zhen would not let her do most of the work such as delivering messages and running errands.
Ling Lan smiled and said: "They haven't seen His Highness the Regent very often, a little..."
Luo Jun was shocked. Rumors are harmful to people.
Although Lan Yin and Lan Zhen are smart, they are still little girls raised in the inner courtyard. Even if they know rationally that the general cannot marry his girl to a bad person, they still feel a little scared when they think about the rumors.
In comparison, Ling Lan, who grew up in a border town and was carefully raised by Luo Jinyan, is much more normal.
Luo Mingxiang put away the betrothal gift booklet on the table and said with a smile: "The Regent must have something to tell you, so go quickly."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Sister, sit down for a while. I will be back soon."
"Well, let's go." Luo Mingxiang waved with a smile and watched her run out briskly.
It seems that Yao Yao really likes His Highness the Regent.
