Facing the doubtful gazes of everyone, Master Chu Jiu looked calm and pointed to the first box.
Inside is a bunch of silk, clean and translucent, with a slight sheen.
"There are eight states and one prefecture in Hexing. Among them, Pingshan is rich in mulberry leaves, and every family raises silkworms. The silk they produce is sold all over the country."
Master Chu Jiu pointed to the second box: "Luochuan fruit trees are famous all over the world, and the most famous ones are apricots, which are the buds picked from a century-old tribute apricot."
Then the third one: "Su Shui is like spring all year round and is famous for its scented tea..."
"Shagang is known as a mining town, among which there are twelve large mines..."
"Xin'an..."
He counted them one by one and found that each item in these small boxes represented a state capital, a specialty, or a famous product.
Everyone's expressions started to look puzzled, but gradually became more complicated.
The Hexing Prince's Mansion is really sincere. The gift given by Master Chu Jiu is a promise: as long as Miss Xu San agrees to marry, she will be the mistress of this eight states and one mansion.
No matter how precious the congratulatory gifts sent by the Zheng family are, they are still foreign objects. They can be given to you when you are happy and taken away when you are unhappy. But if you become the mistress of the Hexing Palace, you will hold power. This is the most important thing for a wealthy family.
The most important thing.
Master Zheng Liu's face gradually darkened. His carefully prepared congratulatory gifts became superficial under these words. This Chu Jiu was indeed a formidable opponent.
"...Brother Zheng, what do you think?"
When Young Master Zheng Liu came back to his senses, Young Master Chu Jiu had already finished the introduction and looked at him with a smile, looking calm and calm.
A smile appeared on his face, but secretly he gritted his teeth: "Brother Chu is so thoughtful, I admire him."
Young Master Chu Jiu smiled slightly and turned to face Xu Huan: "Prince Xu, I wonder if the gift from this junior is worthy of your eyes?"
Xu Huan nodded with a smile: "Both gentlemen have taken the trouble, I would like to thank you on behalf of my daughter."
With that said, he asked the waiter to come in and announce.
In fact, Xu Yin already knew. The women's seat was only separated by a wall, and the sound outside was slightly louder and could be heard clearly. From the moment the messenger presented the gift, the women stopped and listened carefully.
When Mr. Zheng Jiu presented the gift, Mrs. Xu stopped her chopsticks and said in surprise: "A fur coat made of white peacock feathers? The Prince of Nan'an County had never seen such a treasure before."
While adding food to her mother-in-law, the second lady smiled and said: "The Nan'an County Prince's Palace is just a name. In terms of power and position, it may not be better than ours, and it is naturally far behind the Zheng family, which has four generations and three fathers."
Mrs. Xu was moved and looked towards her eldest granddaughter: "Ah Si, how is the Zheng family?"
In the eyes of the old man, Xu Si was about to marry into the Dongjiang Prince's Palace, and he would be the person in charge of the family.
Xu Si raised his head, smiled, and replied softly: "The Zheng family in Zhangzhou is naturally a first-class wealthy family. Although its title is not as high as that of the Hexing Prince's family, its heritage is profound."
"That……"
Before Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Master Chu Jiu's voice came from outside again.
Pingshan silk, Luochuan tribute apricot, Sushui scented tea, Shagang mineral sand... Mrs. Xu's breathing gradually became faster and she blurted out: "Asi!"
She wanted to ask Mr. Chu Jiu if these words represented a certain promise, but she hesitated because she was worried about the presence of relatives.
After all, Young Master Zheng Liu is the third generation of the Zheng family, and his father is not yet the heir. If he can become Princess Hexing, wouldn't it be better than marrying into the Zheng family? There is already a Princess Dongjiang in the family. If another Princess Hexing is born, the Xu family will definitely rise.
, it is no longer the poor family it once was.
The second lady was also very moved. She had realized a long time ago that her daughter's appearance was not as good as that of the eldest sister, and the niece was separated by a layer, so the marriage would need the help of the eldest sister. If both of them became princesses,
Then the two brothers-in-law can also find a good marriage.
With this thought in her mind, she smiled pointedly and said, "This Mr. Chu Jiu is sincere."
Unfortunately, Xu Yin did not respond. Facing the congratulatory gift that was sent in, he just turned around and whispered with his sister to discuss the return gift.
Princess Changning, who was sitting next to her, listened to the whole process and couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "Ayin, they are already facing each other. If you refuse directly, I'm afraid they will all hate you."
There is a Duke of Wei and a King of Hexing. Their titles and power are higher than that of the Xu family. Although they are here to seek marriage, their postures are not low.
If you reject one, you will definitely offend the other. If you reject them both, both parties will inevitably feel that the Xu family is ungrateful.
The best way is to pretend to be a bride, offer the same conditions, and agree to whoever can do it. But Yan Ling didn't come, and the Xu family couldn't easily agree to a marriage!
Princess Changning found it difficult to think about it.
Xu Yin said: "Don't worry, it's not over yet."
Princess Changning was startled. It's not over yet? Does it mean that there is still someone who hasn't sent a gift? But the name on the gift list is gone!
Wait! Princess Changning suddenly remembered.
One person didn’t send a congratulatory gift, or to be exact, he didn’t even send a gift note!
Jiangyue, Jiangbei Jiangyue!
At the banquet outside, Jiang Yue, who had been lazily drinking, raised his head and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the eyes falling on him.
"Is there something on Jiang's face? What are you looking at me for?"
He has been looking at people sideways these days, and some people who don't like it come out and ask: "Mr. Jiang, it seems that you are the only one who has not sent a gift. I wonder what treasures you have prepared?"
Jiang Yue raised his hand to support his ancestors and said with a smile: "I am no better than you. My parents are dead and I am very poor. I cannot afford to give away treasures."
His confident look made others stunned. Fortunately, there was a peacemaker who tried to make amends for him: "It doesn't matter if it's not a treasure. The most important thing about a birthday gift is your heart."
This time Jiang Yue finally cooperated and nodded in response: "Yes, Jiang has put in a lot of effort for this birthday gift."
The atmosphere calmed down, and the man continued: "I wonder what it is? It must be the third lady's heart, right?"
Jiang Yue smiled half-heartedly: "I don't know if the third lady is good or not, but this is already my most precious thing."
As he spoke, he put his hand into his pocket, and then threw something out.
"Here."
Everyone looked intently and saw one - money bag?
Jiang Yue picked up the wine again and said casually: "Jiang lost his father when he was young, and his mother when he was young. He has never had anything to do. He just works as a soldier to earn some money, so that one person can feed the whole family without worrying. But I have always spent money.
Like running water, I have only saved this amount of money, and today I will give it all to the third lady to express my feelings."
Having said this, he looked towards the host and said meaningfully: "Prince Xu, you don't mind it, right? I am willing to give all my belongings to the third lady. This is sincerity!"
!!!
Everyone never expected to hear such shameless words and couldn't help but be stunned.
Why don't you come here on behalf of Jiangbei with all your belongings? Didn't Jiang Yi pay for it? What does he want to do? Isn't he here to propose marriage, but to cause trouble?
