Chapter 476 There is no permanent feast in the world
As the most high-profile wedding in Daqi, it is natural that the wedding must be solemnized with three etiquettes, a phoenix crown, a harem, and ten miles of red makeup.
Since the hot August, Shen Mansion has been busy.
Three letters, six etiquettes, exchange of Geng stickers... a step-by-step wedding process.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, the most important moment before the wedding was finally reached. The whole door of Shen's mansion was opened, all the servants were uniformly dressed in dark red clothes, and lanterns were hung in the mansion. It was full of joy.
Shen Xingwan also got up early to dress up. Although today was the time when the man was giving the wedding gift, there were sisters in the boudoir who came to add makeup to her.
Qinghong rolled a freshly boiled and peeled egg on her face, "Miss, let me give you peach blossom makeup today."
"Okay." Shen Xingwan said, half asleep.
When Shen Qingran came with her sisters, Shen Xingwan had just dressed up, and her whole face was as pink as spring breeze.
The things Shen Qingran added to her makeup were very special. They were some precious spices and a few rare ancient recipes.
She said, "You don't lack anything else, so I can only do what I want."
"I will study it carefully." Shen Xingwan really liked this gift.
Most of the gifts given by other sisters were exquisite jewelry and toys, and she accepted them happily.
At an auspicious time, Fu Jingchao came out first on horseback from the gate of the palace, followed by the matchmaker and the betrothal gift.
It started with two live wild geese, followed by five thousand taels of gold, twenty thousand taels of silver, and then wedding cakes, tea, fruits, candies, etc.
It was carried by a boy wearing uniform clothes and marched toward Shen's mansion in a mighty manner. The people watching were talking excitedly.
"The flash of gold hurts my eyes. I have never seen so much gold in my life."
"This betrothal gift is probably Yan Nan's first. It is more than that of several major families."
"He is a prince, so he naturally has a reputation."
"Tsk tsk, the daughter of the Shen family is blessed."
"With such a large betrothal gift, the dowry will not be small. It is said that the Shen family is a century-old family, so it will probably open our eyes."
…
In the tea room on the second floor, many people from aristocratic families were sitting, watching the decision-making.
The betrothal gift provided by Prince Luo's Mansion largely represented how much Prince Luo valued the princess.
"Sure enough, it is just like what the outside world has said. It is worth three thousand yuan, and only one scoop is taken." A wife from a big family sighed, "This betrothal gift, even if it is placed in Shengjing, is not inferior to that of the royal family."
On the men's side, the topics discussed were different.
"The Shen family has been a family for hundreds of years. It has survived three times and is still standing strong. There are many talented people in the family, but it has never been a fuel-efficient lamp."
"Prince Luo has come this far. The Shen family should stop being behind the scenes. The princess who is about to marry is also a woman."
"This marriage can be regarded as a powerful alliance in a sense."
There are few people in the Yannan family who have not thought about it. Even if they are concubines, once Fu Jingchao ascends to the throne in the future, his status will be equally valuable.
He was so arrogant that he once directly targeted Princess Luo's position. Unfortunately, the Shen family is not a soft persimmon, especially Shen Mochen who is quite strong in the outside world.
The most important thing is Fu Jingchao's attitude, which is completely out of touch.
Even so, there are still people who are not willing to give in. They think that after the wedding, someone will definitely move into the back house. It is impossible for Shen Xingwan to live alone, and it is indispensable to sit on the dragon throne in the three palaces and six courtyards.
So everyone is quite happy to see this marriage come to fruition.
The Shen family's housekeeper and his people were watching in front of the door, and when they saw someone, they immediately ordered people to set off cannons.
Along with the sound of cannons, copper coins and candies began to be thrown. The onlookers were so happy that they began to loot.
In the commotion, the betrothal gift entered the courtyard.
Banxia ran into the backyard and said with a smile, "The prince has sent two live geese, it's amazing."
"Tsk, tsk, the betrothal gifts are laid out all over the yard, it's really lively." Miss Ten, who ran out to take a peek, also came back and said.
She is still young and can go to the front yard to watch the fun.
Shen Xingwan was not shy at all, no matter how much they teased her, she didn't even blush.
They made a fuss for a while and then dispersed. Lin Zhiyu came in the afternoon.
The thing she gave was very special, it was a dagger that looked as thin as a cicada.
"This is a treasure I came here to collect occasionally. It is thin and thin but has hair like mud. You can keep it for self-defense."
It’s actually not a good idea to give something like this on your wedding day.
Shen Xingwan accepted it happily, "This is a good thing. You spent a lot of money this time."
Lin Zhizhi smiled slightly and said, "If the prince dares to be sorry for you in the future, use this dagger to pickle him while he is sleeping, and make sure that the knife is in place."
"Haha, this gift you gave me really touches my heart." Shen Xingwan burst into tears laughing.
In the evening, Shen Xingwan set up a table and invited the sisters to dinner. They also drank a few glasses of wine. After they dispersed, Shen Xingwan stood under the eaves to breathe.
Mo Beichen came over the moon, flew down from the roof, and stopped in front of her.
He handed her a small box and said, "Dowry."
Shen Xingwan opened it and took a look. It was an industry run under his name. The dowry was too thick, "You didn't empty out your family's wealth, did you?"
"Don't worry, keep it, you still have pension money." Mo Beichen said nonchalantly, money has always been an extraneous thing to him.
If he hadn't met Shen Xingwan, he would no longer exist in the world, so he didn't feel sorry for her at all.
Shen Xingwan was not polite to him and accepted it with a smile.
Mo Beichen looked at him happily, feeling as if a daughter had grown up in our family.
When we first met, she was still a little village girl with a dog's tail grass in her mouth. In the blink of an eye, she was already getting married.
Mo Beichen patted her head gently, "You have to rely on yourself in the future. I can't help you much."
After all, he is just a man in the world, and the intrigues in the court are not suitable for him.
"I'm going to leave for a while." Mo Beichen said, it was no longer meaningful for him to be with her, and it was time to let go.
Shen Xingwan's eyes turned red, "Then will you come back?"
"I will definitely come back when you get married. Don't be sad. There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. I can only accompany you until this point." Mo Beichen comforted her.
She will reach a higher position in the future and become what she wants to be. He will always bless her and will always be willing to do anything for her.
Shen Xingwan hugged him gently and said, "Thank you for always being here."
When she was in the most difficult time at the beginning, it was Mo Beichen who supported her and opened up the situation.
She did not force him to make his choice. She wanted to take the cold and ruthless road of imperial power, but he was born in a free and easy life and would not stop for anyone. Destiny allowed them to meet and walk together for a while. Very good.
"As soon as we leave."
Mo Beichen turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Shen Xingwan was not in a very good mood. Parting was inevitable, but it was hard not to be sad.
She will go on this road to the end, hoping that he can continue to be happy and grudges with Ghost Sword Die Mo Beichen in his world.
