28, preparation

Ask the name. In the days when Cheng Yuanjia's birthday eight characters were put in the Dunwang Mansion, the King of Qi sent all the masters under his name to surround the Dunwang Mansion. Not to mention Xiaoxiao, even mosquitoes could not fly in. In the three days when King Dun's birthday was sent to the Cheng family, these people turned to the Cheng family and shocked Cheng Yuhang so much that he didn't sleep well for three days.

Naji, King Dun sent a piece of jade pendant that he had worn for many years as a gift to Chengfu. This jade pendant was worn by the virtuous concubine when she adopted King Dun, although it was not a valuable thing, nor an ordinary thing.

The previous work was successfully completed, and the focus of Qi Wang's work began to be on the next recruitment, that is, the job offer. The royal wedding is also very exquisite. Generally, it is selected by Zongzheng Temple from the treasury. However, how can those items in the treasury get into the eyes of the king of Qi? The baby brother got married and married the richest daughter in the world. It's really a little embarrassing to take these things for hire.

So, the king of Qi righteously asked the emperor's father to open the treasury and let him in to choose the bride price for the Cheng family.

Fortunately, the emperor had been taught a miserable lesson by Cheng Yuanjia. At this time, he did not dare to flirt with her reverse scales again. He directly smashed the token into the treasury on the king of Qi and let him do it by himself.

At the same time, the bride price secretly arranged by Cheng Yuanjia and Liu Shaoyun was also sent to Dunwang Mansion through various channels from all directions. The prince of King Dun is indeed a little aggrieved. His fiefdom is far away, and it is not a rich place. It has been less than a year since he was crowned. In fact, he has no income. What usually maintains the expenditure in the King of Dun's mansion is his own salary and the secret support of the King of Qi. Fortunately, this wedding was handled by the King of Qi and Zongzheng Temple. He didn't have to pay for it himself, otherwise he would really be a little overstretched.

When the king of Qi searched for 80 betrothal gifts from the treasury and carried them to the Dunwang Mansion, when he saw nearly a hundred begged red boxes in the hall that had been packed and did not look light, he stared at the king of Dun standing aside and said, "What's going on?"

King Dun looked at him speechlessly and motioned him to ask Liu Shaoyun, who was checking the list between the boxes.

"I raised these." Liu Shaoyun didn't raise his head and said, "Although the prince doesn't do common things, I can't do it. These are all collected by me everywhere. He stretched out his finger and pointed to the dozen boxes beside him and said, "These ten boxes were sent by the Zhou family of Jianhun Valley, and the six boxes on the side were sent by the Jun family of Mingjian Villa..."

Liu Shaoyun pointed out the source of the box. Most of them were famous families in the world, and there were also some hidden families, which stunned the King of Dun and the King of Qi.

"You mean that you blackmailed these families?" The king of Qi touched his nose and admired Liu Shaoyun's boldness. Except for the fact that the Zhou family has been loyal to King Dun, it is understandable that they sent some belongings to King Dun as a bride price, and those other family sects are in endless trouble.

"It's not blackmail. I just told them that King Dun was going to get married and asked them to send something casually, and they sent it." Liu Shaoyun said proudly. He did send these words, but he didn't say that he sent these words with the token given by Cheng Yuanjia. Whether those families or sects, he didn't dare to neglect them after receiving them, and he sent the things with a burning buttocks.

Finally, the king of Qi and Liu Shaoyun sorted out the 180 bride price together and prepared to go to the Cheng family the next day.

This time, the king of Qi personally came out and went to Cheng's house with the betrothal gift. In addition to these boxes, there are also 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, a hundred silk and satin, a hundred jars of royal wine, and one each of the three animals. The team of bride price was vast, which can be said to be ten miles of red makeup, and 180 heavy boxes also blinded the eyes of many people. At the same time, the wedding date approved by Qin Tianjian is set on the tenth day of the first lunar month, almost 20 days later.

According to the marriage custom, Cheng Yuanjia can no longer go out. She is embroidering wedding clothes at home to get married, but the truth is...

Cheng Yuanjia sat in the yard that belonged to Dunwang Mansion, with her back to the chest of Dunwang. She enjoyed the teacup brought to her by Dunwang with ease. She narrowed her eyes comfortably, as if she were a kitten that only had enough to eat and drink.

"You arranged those bride price, didn't you?" King Dun brought another plate of tea and put it in front of her.

"Yes, it's not." Cheng Yuanjia raised his head, put it on the shoulder of King Dun, and said, "People are mine, and the order is not from me."

"Liu Shaoyun dares to give that kind of order without your instructions?"

"He is bold. However, when I gave him a person, I said that he could use whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't toss to death, he could do whatever he liked.

"He really merciless in this way."

"No, only a small part of the betrothal gifts were sent to you, and most of them were sent to the Cheng family to make a dowry for me."

King Dun was stunned and said with a wry smile, "Can you still let it go?"

"Chengfu is not small. I asked my father to tidy up an empty yard and put these things specially, but I guess it would be a little troublesome on the day of carrying the dowry. I want my grandfather to transfer some people to the barracks."

"What, someone wants to make trouble at the wedding?" King Dun was worried.

"Who dares!" Cheng Yuanjia's Liu Mei immediately stood up: "I chopped him up."

"Then why did you transfer people from the army?"

"There are too many dowry, and there are not enough manpower."

Dunwang was speechless. How much dowry did she prepare?

However, he is not completely ignorant of Cheng Yuanjia's power. Anyway, Liu Shaoyun is his person, and he knows more or less about Cheng Yuanjia's embezzlement of Cheng family's property for many years. Although he doesn't understand why she did this, as long as Cheng Yuanjia is happy, he has no reason to object.

With Cheng Yuanjia's family, it would be strange if there were fewer dowryes for her to get married this time. And I'm afraid that the things hired this time will become her dowry. At least the Cheng family is a well-known rich family. If a legitimate daughter marries or marries into the royal family, and the family also deducts the bride price, then the Cheng family will be shameless.

According to the marriage custom, most of the dowry will be carried into the husband's house the day before the wedding. On the wedding day, only some of the personal belongings will be introduced with the sedan chair. Even so, whether it is the Cheng family or Dunwang Mansion, they are shocked by the huge number of dowry.

Cheng Yuanjia drank tea pleasantly and didn't worry much about his dowry. The so-called dowry is for outsiders. Her real wealth is all in the ring in her hand, the vast land inside, the mountains full of aura, rich resources, and slaves who are absolutely loyal to her. However, this does not affect her dowry to her lover.

"Where is our new house?" Cheng Yuanjia suddenly thought of this problem.

Dunwang Mansion was built by her own supervision. She knows very well which yard is better and which yard is worse. King Dun didn't like the too prosperous scenery. He did not live in the main courtyard of Junyu Courtyard, but in the Tingtao Pavilion in the east cross courtyard, which was not far from the bamboo-scented small building she left for herself. The main courtyard is not bad. The area is the largest of all courtyards, and it can be said to be step by step, exquisite and gorgeous.

"It's still in the main courtyard. After all, it's bigger there." King Dun knew that Cheng Yuanjia had put a lot of thought into the main courtyard. He had never lived in it. On the one hand, it was so beautiful that it was a little unreal to live in it. On the other hand, it was also full of people's eyes. He always felt that it was not in line with his style, but he preferred the simple and elegant Tingtao Pavilion.

Cheng Yuanjia nodded and said, "After the big wedding, I will transform Tingtao Pavilion into your study. This bamboo-scented small building will be left for us to be lazy. When you don't want to see people, just rest here."

When the Dunwang Mansion was rebuilt, Cheng Yuanjia made up a total of seven or eight courtyards in the backyard, which made the king of Dun very speechless and felt that he really didn't need to live in so many yards. In his concept, if he marries Cheng Yuanjia, she will be the only hostess in the whole palace. There will be no second woman in front of them to add obstacles for them. Why do you want so many yards? If he can't get married, what's the point of having more women in the yard? However, in Cheng Yuanjia's eyes, there are really not many of these courtyards. The Qianwang Mansion is about the same area, and there are more than ten courtyards. When rebuilding the Dunwang Palace, the left and right two houses were merged. There were nearly 20 courtyards in the backyard, all of which were demolished by her. Most of them were converted into gardens, and only a few yards were rebuilt.

"It's up to you." King Dun has always had no problem with his backyard, as long as Cheng Yuanjia likes it.

"Also, there have never been many maids around me, and I'm not going to add more people. The maids around you should be dispatched by me first."

"Okay, you can take it all away."

"After the wedding, it's time for you to be equipped with the staff here, and your fief should also be took care of." Cheng Yuanjia began to calculate his future life: "One long history, one captain, as well as classic books, classic meals, trials, as well as medical formality, classics, classic music, all of which need to be equipped. Your fief is in the southwest. The current officials were originally appointed by the court. You need to review it carefully. I believe Liu Shaoyun is already doing this. I will ask him how he is dealing with it later.
