The shop where Bai Qianfan bought the furniture was called the Treasure Cauldron Pavilion, and was one of the best in the furniture shop. When the shopkeeper came back in the evening and heard the shop assistant talk about this, he was so angry that he scolded him harshly.
"Who is the Princess Chu? It was the Empress of the south. It is our pleasure to see the Empress here, you actually dare to raise the price, there are so many rich families in the city that could not find a way to deliver the goods to them. Yet, not only did you raise the price, you even dare to ask for money! "
The more he spoke, the angrier he got. He raised his foot and kicked, "It's not like you've been following me for only a year or two. You don't even have this much vision, what are you doing?"
Being beaten and scolded by the shopkeeper didn't make the boy feel wronged at all. It was true that he had made a mistake. How could an ordinary family set up such a dignified dowry for a maidservant!?
The goods that the Princess Chu had ordered were delivered to the Prefect early the next morning. He didn't ask about the delivery and didn't ask about the receipt.
Bai Qianfan had always been worried about this matter. Seeing that the goods had arrived, the servant did not come to collect the money, but instead asked Ning Jiu upon seeing the sky. The reply rate was no. The guard at the door also shook his head. He seemed to have an extraordinary memory. If anyone owed her five thousand taels of silver, she would definitely remember them even in her dreams.
The Prince Chu teased her, "Usually, a person is treated like two flowers, but this time, it's rare to see someone spending so much, just the furniture alone would cost five thousand gold. It's not even counting the accessories, it's the same for rich families."
Bai Qianfan's eyes slanted, "Heartache?"
"I do love you." He held her on his lap and lifted his chin to study her face. "Look, you've lost weight in the last two days." Bai Qianfan sneered, "If I'm going to lose weight, then it'll be a waste for me to eat so much. Don't be reluctant, it's not easy for Yue Xiang either, after all, my husband is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him in the future.
When he first heard Yue Xiang's decision, Morong Gan was also a little surprised. With the relationship between Yue Xiang and herself, marrying a high ranking official in the future wasn't impossible, but he didn't expect her to pick a fool in the end. According to the eyes of ordinary people, this would be a fire pit, a lifetime of suffering.
But he knew. Was it a fire pit? Is it suffering? Only he himself knew in his heart that everyone had said that Bai Qianfan was foolish, but he was still completely mesmerized. He remembered that strange expression the crown prince had when he first saw Bai Qianfan, and he was probably very surprised that someone like him would like a silly girl. But was she really stupid? It might be a little, but this sort of stupidity was something that was hard to come by. She couldn't bear to part with her money, but it was a big deal to fix the dowry for a maidservant. This was exactly the kind of fool he loved!
After waiting two days, when no one came to collect money, Bai Qianfan sent someone to send it over. However, things became a little strange, as the other party refused to accept it no matter what.
She was puzzled. This was a serious business deal. Why wouldn't they accept money after giving out the goods?
Prince Chu naturally knew what was going on, and said, "80% of the time, I know who you are. Who dares to accept money from Princess Chu, I will treat it as my filial piety."
"That won't do," Bai Qianfan said. "One yard for one yard, I am not someone who can rely on my position. "No, I have to go in person."
"I'll go with you." Prince Chu had a bit of a conditioned reflex now, wanting to follow her whenever she heard that she was going to go out.
"That won't do. Once you go and kneel down, I don't even think of finding a reasonable person to talk to."
"If you go, won't they kneel?"
Bai Qianfan thought about it, and then sat back down, face full of dejection.
In the end, Morong Gan sent Ning Jiu away. Protector Ning, that ice face, no matter who saw him, would send him out. Sure enough, Ning Jiu made a trip and everything was settled.
On the ninth day of the sixth month, an auspicious day, Yue Xiang got married from the Prefect. Not to mention the five kilometer red makeup, she also looked majestic and walked around the Su City a few times before exiting the east gate and heading towards the Dark Water Town.
Originally, he did not want the groom to come and pick up the bride, as he was a fool after all. Sitting on the horse seemed normal, as he was afraid that people would point fingers at him.
Halfway there, they came face to face with a group of people, who were beating the gongs and beating the drums. Amongst them, there was a big horse with red hair, sitting on top of it was a spirited groom, it was a big red flower and his hat had feathers stuck in it.
When Yue Xiang heard the commotion, she sneakily lifted the curtain to take a look. This time, she was a little dumbfounded, as Liang Baotian, who was on horseback, did not look as haggard as last time, his face was flushed red, the corners of his lips were bent, and his waist was ramrod straight. The two veins in his body were staring straight at her, and she immediately put the curtain down, holding her chest as she gasped.
When the feast was held at Drunken Immortal Tavern, Housekeeper Shi had agreed to not take any money. It was not for the sake of Prince Chu and Princess Wangfei, but because he was truly moved by Lady Yue Xiang's kindness. He could have been an official, but he spent the rest of his life caring for a fool. This kind of jumping into a fire pit was not something that anyone could do. Some praised her to be a fairy that had descended to the mortal realm, some praised her to be a Buddha that could save lives, and in short, everyone looked up to her.
Prince Chu and Princess Hua-Yang were naturally the most precious guests. They were arranged to be in a private room, accompanied by a few gentry and squires. Naturally, General Du, who held the highest position in Dark Water Town, was present as well.
The Prince Chu glanced at the expressionless General Du with a smile and said to Shi Shengcheng, "Since there are still a few seats empty, why don't you call your beloved over as well?"
When Housekeeper Shi heard this, he naturally beamed with joy and hurriedly nodded. "Many thanks Your Highness, I will call my daughter over right now to accompany you."
Very quickly, Shi Yingying was pulled in by her father and forced to sit beside General Du. The two of them didn't look at each other and just sat there with their backs facing each other, as if they were having an awkward situation.
Bai Qianfan was surprised. She might be a little childish, but Du Changfeng was a mature man.
Shi Shengcheng laughed awkwardly, and pinched his daughter's arm, causing Shi Yingying to turn back a little.
Under Prince Chu's threatening gaze, the carriage, which Du Changfeng had barely managed to sit upright, finally looked like it was filled with energy on the surface.
The Prince Chu seemed especially amiable today, not putting on airs at all as he chatted with the country gentry about the climate, terrain, water conservancy, soil, suitable crops, and so on. He was like an extremely modest scholar, especially interested in agriculture and commerce, to the point of being shameless.
The gentry were flattered, of course, by the question and answer, of course.
She knew that the Prince Chu had decided to rule from the river. He wanted to rule from the south, and create a place with all kinds of beautiful scenery.
A man of ambition and talent would always make people feel inexplicably enchanted. Bai Qianfan tilted her head and looked at his husband in admiration, feeling that there was no man in this world as perfect as him.
