Chapter 543： Hire

Chapter 543 Recruitment

Ms. Chen has never seen a family so eager to get married.

If Lanzhi hadn't told her repeatedly that the prince was in good health, good-looking, and had a car and a house, she would have really suspected that the prince had some shameful problem.

No one in the family was so anxious, so they took the eight characters and were eager to give the betrothal gift.

Xiao Yu was in a hurry about this marriage, the prince was in a hurry, and the princess was not in a hurry at first, but she became anxious after being urged by these two people all day long.

Invited two matchmakers, and went back and forth with the matchmaker hired by the Gu family several times, and finally decided on a date.

The wedding date will be discussed after the New Year.

Early that morning, the royal palace opened the middle gate, and a long carriage drove out from the door.

This motorcade was not moving very fast. When pedestrians saw such a lively motorcade, many of them followed curiously to watch the excitement.

When he arrived at the gate of Gu's house, there were many people following him.

The door to Gu's house opened, and the servants lined up in two rows.

The two matchmakers were full of joy, saying auspicious words while directing the betrothal gifts to be carried inside.

There were more and more people watching the excitement at the door, blocking the road in front of the door.

Mrs. Chen was sitting in the lobby, watching the betrothal gifts being carried in one load after another. As each load came in, the matchmaker read the gift list beside her.

The first is: the bride price is one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver.

Four sets of red gold headbands, four sets of gold headbands set with rubies, four sets of gold headbands set with pearls, four sets of gold headbands set with sapphires, four pairs each of mutton-fat jade bracelets, and four pairs each of dragon and phoenix bracelets in red gold and gemstones.

Two handfuls of red gold and two handfuls of mutton-fat jade.

One pair each of gold and silver basins.

Twenty pieces of jade.

Eight hundred pieces of silk and satin of various colors.

Two hundred pieces of furs.

Then there is a pair of live wild geese, which means good luck.

Two pairs of chickens, two suckling pigs, and two fish, these are the three animals.

Then comes the usual betrothal gifts such as wedding cakes, wine, sesame seeds, tea leaves, dried fruits, etc.

Mrs. Chen felt numb all over after hearing this. The matchmaker said earlier that the palace had to keep a low profile and the betrothal gift could only be ordinary.

This is ordinary?

After the betrothal gift is carried out, the matchmaker hands the betrothal letter and gift list to Chen, and the deal is completed.

From now on, the marriage is considered settled.

After giving the wedding money and sending away the matchmaker and the servants from the palace who were carrying the bride price, all the villagers who had been standing at the door of the village next door rushed in with cheers.

Because the Chen family kept this matter a secret, even the aunt and others did not know the news.

At present, the aunt, Juhua, Qian, the old lady, Li, the two daughters-in-law of the village head, Liu Zhuangtou and his wife, as long as they are in the village, almost all of them are here.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the mountains of things in the lobby.

After a long while, the eldest aunt asked tremblingly, "Second brother and sister, just now I heard that this is a betrothal gift?"

“Are you hiring Xiao Fei?” There is only one daughter in the family, Xiao Fei, and there should be no one else but her.

Qian's whole body was shaking, "I heard it's a palace, can it be true?"

The old lady looked at Mrs. Chen eagerly, wanting to know the answer from her mouth.

Mr. Chen smiled brightly and said, "It's the palace, Prince Qi's palace, who hired my Xiao Fei as the crown prince's concubine."

This sentence stirs up a thousand waves with one stone.

Qian first screamed, "How is that possible?"

Mrs. Chen glanced at her lightly and said, "The betrothal gifts are all laid out here, and the betrothal letter is in my hand. Why is it impossible?"

Qian covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, "I, I, I didn't mean that, I just felt like this, how could such a good thing happen?"

Auntie is confused.

She and Aunt Liu also quietly thought about it and discussed it. They estimated that Xiao Fei could marry into the palace as a concubine and become a concubine in the future, but Mrs. Chen said she was the crown prince's concubine!
