Mu Yun knew that Shan Jingyan had given her marriage news and heard from Xixian.

But she was shocked. When she heard that Shan Jingyan was the Sixth Prince, the current King Jin was even more confused.

She had been in the mansion for so long that she had never heard of the name of the Sixth Prince.

Mu Yun secretly asked the people around him to inquire. He didn't get much news. Most of the news said that the sixth prince was not favored and his status in the palace was not as good as a concubine with the lowest level.

There are very few news about King Jin that people have learned about it, and Mu Yun always feels that it is not that simple.

Fortunately, she knew Shan Jingyan, and Mu Yun did not go to the Duke's Mansion to find out the situation as soon as possible.

Duke Cheng just came back, and Shan Jingyan gave him a marriage. Although King Jin was not favored, he was still a prince!

The people who came to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate him these days were in a constant stream.

It was right for Mu Yun not to go at this time. Shan Jingyan and Xu didn't have time to talk to her after they went there. Even Shan Yuan and Shan Jun were busy greeting all kinds of guests.

Xu has been exhausted these days, but the mansion is not sick or disaster-stricken, so it is not easy to just keep your door and thank the guests.

At this time, Xie Ke was not clear about giving some topics to talk to Beijing. Those talkative gossips would definitely talk nonsense secretly, and their family would become swollen if they climbed to the royal family.

The Duke of Chengguo Mansion finally sent away a wave of guests, and Xu was discussing Shan Jingyan's dowry with Shan Xiong. Xu said in a casual manner: "The Sixth Prince is also a considerate. The Prince's Mansion just started construction, so he sent someone to ask Yan Jie'er what kind of flowers and plants she likes so that the gardener could plant some. He also sent someone to send the pattern of the main courtyard over, saying that if there is anything that is not satisfactory, just talk, and when the construction starts now, you can also let the craftsmen change it together.

Even though Sister Yan was not talking too much at this moment, this thought was rare. On weekdays, I only heard of the other princes, and the gap between the top princes and the sixth princes was also very big. I had never heard of the sixth prince in the past. When the decree for the marriage was just released, I was afraid that the sixth prince would be difficult to meet, and I was very nervous. Now it seems that I understand it in my heart. I can feel a little relieved if Sister Yan gets married in the future."

Shan Xiong twisted his beard and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. And I, as long as our Duke Cheng's Mansion is standing firm, even if Yan Jie'er marrys into the royal family, she will not suffer any grievances. Although we don't know much about the Sixth Prince, we have also watched what he has done in the past few days. He is a very clear-minded and will definitely treat Yan Jie'er kindly. Our daughter is also open-minded. After the wife has taught her carefully over the past few years, she has become more and more steady in her behavior. I guess she will not be much short of the future. By the way, since the Prince's Mansion has just been built, the Sixth Prince is four years older than Yan Jie'er, I think they will get married by the end of next year. How is Yan Jie'er's dowry?"

Xu got up and took out a list from the makeup box and handed it to her husband. He frowned slightly and said, "Since she was born, I have prepared for her. If I marry someone of a good family, all these will be enough. Now I am really going to marry into the royal family, and I always feel that it has been thinner."

After looking at the order carefully, Shan Xiong said: "The total amount of things on this order is only more than 50,000 taels of silver, which is not much. We should still have money in our mansion, right?"

Xu glanced at him: "Of course, there is money in the mansion, but our family is not the only child of Yan Jie'er. Even if she married into the royal family, it would not be too out of line. Our family's rules are the regular order for the legitimate daughter to be married for 30,000 taels, and the rest of the private houses given by her parents are not counted. The list is only the top jewelry and furniture, but the furniture is just some daily necessities. I spent 50,000 taels, which is 20,000 taels more than the original plan. If Sister Yao and Sister Lian find out, we would have to blame us for giving it less?"

"Also, the real big head is naturally a promising farm. I was thinking of giving her the four shops in my dowry and the farm in Mingzhou. In addition, the farm in Jiangnan that the master originally gave me, the annual yield of these fields is 30,000 to 40,000 taels, and the 60,000 taels of silver was given to her. Even if she was given 60,000 taels, she would spend enough money in the royal family. Besides, she is not a girl who doesn't do anything to produce. If she gives these things, she will definitely be able to make money and live a bad life..."

Shan Xiong said: "Why do you have to do this, madam? Is it true that Sister Yan is not my child? Why are you all using your private house to make up for it? Even though there are such rules in the mansion, Sister Yan is now married to the royal family, so it is naturally not the same. As for Sister Yao and Sister Lian, you subsidized a lot of money when they got married, and I think it's enough."

"Please keep your private houses well and keep them for flowers. Give her the village in Qingze Mountain and Yongzhou, plus the two shops on Baihu Street, and then get 16,000 taels of silver bills from the mansion to her. My father, who is a father, will give her 5,000 taels of gold bills and two shops in Jinling privately. In this way, it will be a good idea. As for what you want to subsidize, you can subsidize privately, and there is no need to say it..."

The reason why Xu said that just now was that she wanted to help her daughter get more dowry, but she really didn't expect that Shan Xiong would be so generous this time: "Master, will there be too many things? After all, I have to leave some for Brother Yuan and Brother Jun to get married. Don't lose two daughters-in-law by then."

Shan Xiong said with a smile: "No, no, madam, don't worry, I have a sense of my own..."

Seeing Shan Xiong say this, Xu also regained his thoughts. After all, the purpose has been achieved, and she can't chew too much, so she won't say much.

Anyway, she won’t be able to subsidize Shan Yuan and Shan Jun at that time.

Xu nodded: "Since the master is so generous, I will thank the master for my daughter."

Shan Xiong patted her hand and said, "We are closest couple, why do you say these things? There is another thing. When I was in the northwest, I accidentally got a batch of red sandalwood and yellow rosewood furniture. When I went to Beijing to report my work, I didn't bring it back because I was too stumbled. The things were transported to a warehouse in Waibei City two days ago. I asked Brother Yuan to go to pick up the goods. I guess I will be able to deliver them tomorrow. At that time, you can pick up some of the good ones for Sister Yan, and you can arrange the rest."

After hearing this, Xu clapped his hands and said, "The master didn't tell me earlier that the best red sandalwood and yellow flower pear are becoming more and more rare now. But a while ago, Brother Yuan and Brother Qin had done a sea trade and got a batch of good wood. I was thinking about making a few pieces of furniture for Sister Yan. Since you have a ready-made one in your hand, I will pick a few pieces first."

"Oh~ With these things, even if Yan Jie'er married into the royal family, she was more decent. I originally thought that if I had to get married, I would search for it from my dowry. Unexpectedly, the Marquis got it silently. I was so tired that I did some useless efforts."

Shan Xiong quickly smiled and said, "This batch of things is also caused by coincidence. There are some twists and turns. I am afraid that if the things are not shipped back, it will delay things so I didn't open my mouth. You just said that these woods are very difficult to find now. Even if Sister Yan can't use them alone, they can also keep them for Brother Qi. Besides, Brother Yuan! His marriage has to be arranged by you. This kind of good thing is not too much if you prepare a few sets of these good things."

"What the master said is..." Xu sighed.

Previously, Xu knew that they had brought back a batch of good wood, including yellow rosewood and red sandalwood. Originally, Xu thought that Shan Jingyan shouldn't get married so quickly, so she planned to do some fine work and get her some good furniture.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Fortunately, the Duke of the State has a ready-made one. Xu planned to take a look at how many good ones were first, and then make a few new ones to match. This would be a barely enough.

Shan Jingyan married into the royal family, so Xu naturally didn't want her daughter to be looked down upon, so she naturally wanted to give her the best one.

So she chose many choices, and this was not satisfied, that was not satisfied, this was also the love of a mother for her daughter.

Shan Xiong suddenly clenched his fist with his right hand and beat his left palm, saying, "Oh, I almost forgot that there are some high-quality blood swallows and other nourishing items brought together this time. The old lady looked at it and gave it some. As for the third and fourth rooms, there is no need for you. You have to worry about Brother Qi'er's schoolwork, and you have to be busy with Brother Yuan and Brother Jun'er's wedding. Now there are more sister Yan to worry about, and you have to have the housekeeper to work hard. Leave more for yourself to nourish your body."

Just as Xu was about to thank him, Xixian replied outside the curtain: "Report to the Duke of the Kingdom, Madam, the housekeeper of the front yard sent someone to spread the news, saying that Mr. Ye had important matters to discuss with the Duke of the Kingdom."

Hearing this, Shan Xiong stood up and said, "I'll go and see, ma'am, don't have to wait for me to have a meal." After that, he strode out.

Xu looked at the sky and ordered, "Go and tell the kitchen, and let someone prepare a table of exquisite dishes to the outside study." Xixian and Shuxian didn't have to respond to this matter, but a little maid went to inform him after hearing this.

After a while, Shan Xiong's servant came over with two brocade boxes and said with a smile: "When it comes to the wife, this is what the prince of the country asked the young man to send to the wife. The prince of the country said that the peony-patterned box was for the older girl, and the plum-patterned box was for the wife, so please accept it with a smile."

Xixian took the box and handed it to Xu. Xu did not rush to open the box, but said to the servant with a smile: "If the Duke of the State Council keeps Mr. Ye for dinner in the evening, please advise him to drink too much wine. Mr. Ye likes to drink Qiubailu. Although the wine is not a strong wine, it has great potential, so you should drink less."

After saying that, he asked Xixian to take a pouch to reward him, and the servant agreed to go.

Xu opened the box in his hand and saw that the brocade box carved with peony patterns contained the land deeds and gold and silver notes that Shan Xiong had just mentioned. Xu counted it and found that there were two more silver notes of one thousand taels in it. It was supposed to be added later. Although Shan Xiong gave his daughter these things, Xu decided to continue to give the field shop he had picked out of the dowry to his daughter.

The silver notes and land deeds are carried with you. No matter how many dowry you have, you can just pass the princes and concubines in front of you. Women, you will not have to worry about money no matter where you have money.

When I opened the second box, I saw a gold note of 500 taels and two silver note of 5000 taels. There was also a small box the size of a palm, with more than twenty pure blue sapphires inside. Several large ones were as big as lychees, medium ones were as big as longans, and the smallest ones were as big as lotus seeds, and were covered in the brocade box. Xu, who had seen many good things, was also very happy.

Although there are some sapphires in his private room, the size and color are not as big as those in front of him. Xu picked out half of it and handed the box to Shuxian, who had just returned from the work: "There are several sets of gems that I have prepared for Sister Yan. The gems on them are not as smooth as this one. Put them away and get them to my fourth brother's gold shop tomorrow and let them make a set of gems for Sister Yan. The gold should not be thick, it will be too thick and it will look like a nouveau riche, so that they can beat them lightly and meticulously."

Shuxian took the Jinxian and smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, the master in the Xu family's fourth master's gold shop has the most exquisite skills. Even if you don't say such a good sapphire, they will guarantee that they will also give you a set of ingenious jewelry."

Han laughed in a low voice: "That's true."

...

Just after noon the next day, Shan Yuan led a group of strong men dressed in spirit to drive dozens of carriages into the side door of the Duke's Mansion.

Since Shan Xiong returned to Beijing to report his duties, he has not yet been appointed by the imperial court. He first pointed his legitimate daughter to an unpopular prince, and now he has kept his vacancies at home. If the emperor hadn't often asked him to come to the palace to talk, outsiders would have thought that Cheng Guogong had fallen out of favor.

After receiving the notification from the concierge, he took a big step to the front hall. Shan Yuan sat there and stood up when he saw him coming: "Dad, fortunately, I have lived up to your mission and brought back all your things."

Shan Xiong nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go down and wash up first and use some food!"

Shan Yuan was not polite, too lazy to call him, so he turned around and went back to his yard.

Shan Xiong looked at the background where he walked away and hummed. Then he looked at the boxes of things that were carried to the front hall, pointed to several boxes and said, "Please carry these to the wife with the furniture."

After receiving the news yesterday, Xu sent someone to clean up a small yard next to his main courtyard overnight. There were only two wing rooms and four empty rooms, which were just right for the warehouse. The people wiped the furniture one by one before carrying it into the second door. Han looked at the few pieces in front and couldn't help but nodded secretly: These furniture are not only excellent in wood, but also in the workmanship is more refined than those in the capital. It should be carvings from the south.

At this time, Xixian came over and said, "Madam, these furniture can't be carried for a while. Madam should go to the house to rest. It's not too late to see them after they have finished moving. The dust is also heavy. Madam really wants to see it. The Marquis there has also sent a few boxes to bring in. You might as well put them over and take a look."

Xu smiled and said, "You girl is even more nagging than Madam Yun and Mu Yun. Every girl is from every family, how can she be so nagging!"

Xu complained like this, but turned around and said to the manager next to him: "You take care of yourself here and let these kids be more careful. I would rather move slowly than bump into it."

The woman hurriedly agreed: "Madam, don't worry, I must keep an eye on them."

"Yeah," Xu replied, and was helped by Xixian to the main courtyard.
