Chapter 345 Dowry
Hongxue didn't take this matter to heart at all, the reason why she didn't want to accept that Li Lan was just because she knew people, face but didn't know her heart, and she didn't want to feed a tiger into trouble.Although, it was possible that she wronged that woman, but she was unwilling to take the risk, after all, she was An Zhicheng's woman.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and this was Hongxue's first New Year after returning to the fief, and she decided to spend it well.

On this day, a noble guest came to Hongxue's house in Hongye Village. Jiang Hongyu pushed him in with a smile on his face. This bold move aroused discussions among those who hated the rich in Hongye Village.

Among them is Jiang's second wife, Li Shi.

In a short while, the unbearable rumors of not obeying women's morals spread all over the villages, and even Jiang Hongxue, who was far away in the prince's mansion of Jingyang City, heard about it.

It was just the next scene, but it shocked everyone's eyes.Painted face, red lips

Because after the guest entered Hongxue's house, a lady about 50 years old was wearing a red satin jacket, a big red flower on her head, and several silver hairpins, and she was holding a small handkerchief in her hand. The big mouth, which was painted bright red, opened and closed to greet more than a dozen men behind him who were carrying a big box, and said sharply: "This is the family, Princess Cheng's mother's family is right. Yes, all of you, move quickly, and your hands and feet will be quicker after collecting the money!"

After saying that, he knocked on the door of Hongxue's house openly.

Now that it was time for the slack season, when everyone saw such a big battle, they crowded around curiously and stretched their necks to look into the open gate.

"Ma'am, you are..." Pearl next to Luo Qin looked at the woman in front of her in puzzlement. Of course she knew what she was doing, but how could a matchmaker come to the door at this moment?

"Give the girl a salute. The old woman came to the door this time to bring a dowry gift. I'm so happy!" Their identities are many times more noble than their own, so they said cautiously at the expense of [-] points.

The smile on the matchmaker's face was almost grinning behind her ears. If she came to the door this time, she could get a generous reward. Her mission would be considered complete, but I don't know why the customer chose such a day to make an early reservation. down.

"Come in, hurry up, carry it to the yard, and put it in the open space!" As soon as the matchmaker entered the door, she directed the dozen or so men carrying large boxes, each carrying a large box in their hands, After putting it on the open space, some people turned back again.

Such a big commotion outside had already alarmed Luo Qin and the others, who all came out to check.

The matchmaker saw a few more women coming out of the room, among them was a woman in her 40s who presumably was Princess Cheng's mother, so she quickly knelt down and said, "Madam please greet Madam! Madam congratulates Madam!"

"Pearl, go get some hot tea!"

Although with Luo Qin's current status, as long as she didn't want to see anyone, she was free to see them, but she was a considerate person after all, so naturally she couldn't ignore guests when they came to the house.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Ever since Pearl was bought back by Hongxue, she has been serving Luo Qin. At first, she only thought that her master was just a country woman. It wasn't until she followed Luo Qin to the capital that she realized that her master was actually the eldest lady of Duke Luo's mansion. With this identity, she completely put away the little contempt that existed in her, and she devoted herself to serving Luo Qin wholeheartedly.

"Madam, great joy! These are all betrothal gifts. The young master said that this is part of it, so you can accept it with peace of mind. You will make up the rest when he formally marries the second young lady."

The matchmaker took the hot tea brought by Pearl and thanked her. The things had been delivered and there was nothing else for her. Now she wanted to go home quickly and get into the hot bed to count the silver.

This matchmaker is also from the Jingyang Mansion, so she has naturally heard the rumors about Hongxue's family. She never expected that a woman who was so badly spread in the past would fly up to a branch and become Princess Cheng in a blink of an eye. The value has doubled. Take the customer who asked me to come to the dowry this time as an example. The whole body looks like rich or expensive. It is estimated that the things in the box are worth a lot, but let her take care of it when the customer leaves. With her own mouth, since she took the money, she also promised not to talk nonsense.

"Second Miss? Shuang'er?"

Luo Qin frowned, last time I heard Xueer talk about Shuang'er and the fifth prince, but shouldn't he be in the capital?Then who will give the dowry?They have been researching Yu'er's marriage for the past few days, but they never expected someone to offer Shuang'er a job, what should they do!

"We can't accept these things. The marriage of Princess Cheng's two younger sisters is naturally decided by Princess Cheng..." Thinking of this, Luo Qin simply mentioned Hongxue's name.

"Oh, ma'am, you are the mother of the second young lady. There is no elder here. The marriage is decided by the elder sister. I believe that Princess Cheng will not object to your decision. Besides, my old lady only follows Do what the customer tells you, you, don't embarrass my old lady."

"May I ask who is your son?"

Luo Qin thought, always figure out who the gift-giver is, and let Xueer decide what to do.

The matchmaker smiled, interrupted her, and said: "Ma'am, it's not that the old lady refuses to tell, but it's because the young master didn't leave his name. We are responsible for delivering the things. Now that they have been delivered, don't bother me!"

As the matchmaker spoke, she greeted a few men, and everyone put down their teacups one after another, went out and left in a sullen manner.

"Pan'er, go and close the courtyard door!"

Jiang Hongshuang saw a large circle of people around the gate of the courtyard, and asked herself to have a maid to close the door first. Turning around, she saw Luo Qin frowning looking at a row of boxes in the courtyard. Even Jiang Hongyu, Jiang Hongxiang and others were also attracted, surrounded Looking east and west.

Seeing Luo Qin looking at her, Jiang Hongshuang hurriedly shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't know what's going on?"

Yu Yan also heard the sound, looked at those big boxes curiously, and muttered to himself, who is so generous, even if he is a businessman, he can't afford so much dowry at once, and this is part of it.

When everyone was wondering, Hongxue, who was far away in the palace, received a letter. After reading it, with a smile on his eyes, he handed it to Shan Yucheng, who was probing his brain.

After Shan Yucheng read the letter, the expression on his face can be described as wonderful, just about to speak, but saw Hongxue turn into the inner room, just about to follow with puzzled eyes, but bumped into her at the door .

Shouted in embarrassment: "Daughter-in-law..."

Hongxue pulled him to sit in the outer room indifferently, then took out a token from his sleeve, put it in front of Shan Yucheng and said, "Does Pengfei know what this means?"
