Chapter 127 The Dowry
"None of them want to kill people." King Zhou threw the handkerchief on the table casually, "But Yun Qi is different. As long as he provokes his Zhao Zhao or harms the Xie family, he will not show mercy."

When the steward heard this, he thought it made sense, "It's just a pity to lose such a chess piece."

"You can't even count as a pawn." King Zhou leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes. "It's no pity... But Yun Qi has been too aggressive in these past few months. Please tell the people below to restrain themselves."

Steward should: "Yes."

King Zhou also explained: "In addition, the wedding ceremony of the three emperor brothers must be carefully prepared."

……

After Xie Zhaozhao worked on the bronze statue for a few days, he took the time to visit Xie Jiajia again.

Xie Jiajia is still in confinement, but she no longer wants to lie on the bed obediently. She always wants to get up and take a walk every day.

Aunt Liu couldn't stop her, so she could only watch Xie Jiajia walking around the house. She also brought the charcoal pot early to heat up the house to prevent Xie Jiajia from getting cold and causing the disease.

When Xie Zhaozhao arrived, Xie Jiajia was walking around the house with her child in her arms.

"Little crescent moon, crescent moon, crescent moon." Xie Jiajia called her daughter's name with a soft laugh, frowning in disgust and said, "You are so ugly. They say you look better if you grow wider, but why are you still so ugly?"

Xie Zhaozhao heard this sentence as soon as he walked in. He couldn't help but smile and said: "If I were Xiao Yueya, I would give you a lot of supercilious looks. You gave birth to her. If you say she is ugly, doesn't that mean you are ugly? "

"It's also possible that her father is ugly, and she inherited his genes, so she looks so ugly." Xie Jiajia curled her lips and smiled.

"Brother-in-law is not ugly."

This is not a compliment from Xie Zhaozhao.

Su Xiangyang is indeed good-looking, but he cannot be said to be the most handsome man in the capital. His face is also elegant and handsome.

Xie Jiajia said "Yeah" casually and continued to tease the child.

Xie Zhaozhao saw her reaction in his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that she was really a bit indifferent when talking about Su Xiangyang.

A young couple, now with a lovely daughter, should they be in such a dull state?
Earlier, Xie Zhaozhao asked Nanny Liu to clean up the Su Mansion.

Yesterday, Grandma Liu went to report the cleaning results.

If a few restless ones are discovered, they should be sold and dealt with.

Later, Xie Zhaozhao asked about Grandma Liu, Su Xiangyang and Xie Jiajia.

Aunt Liu's expression was a bit complicated at that time: "The third young lady and my uncle...well, they treat each other with respect as guests, and they raise eyebrows together."

This is a good word.

But treating each other as guests, doesn’t that mean being polite and lukewarm?
"I heard that something went wrong when I was giving birth." Xie Jiajia handed the baby to the wet nurse beside her and sat back on the bed. "Thanks to you, there was no big problem."

"Well..." Xie Zhaozhao came to his senses, "There is a doctor who is not good at medicine."

"You were bribed, right?"

Xie Zhaozhao was startled, "Sister, do you know?"

"I've known about Chen Yu for a long time." Xie Jiajia said, "It's just a doctor's matter. I only heard about it from Grandma Liu in the past two days."

Xie Jiajia looked at the pot of gardenias on the flower table beside the bed: "Your brother-in-law just thinks I don't know. I'm still thinking about whether I should let your brother-in-law bring her to the house."

Xie Zhaozhao was startled again.

Xie Jiajia said: "After all, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and I... I'm just a latecomer. It doesn't matter if the Su family raises one more girl for her. Who knows, before I mention it, she can't calm down and settle down in the house. nail."

"Now that she is dead, your brother-in-law is haunted every day. He wants to find out the cause of death and hide it from me."

Xie Jiajia shook her head and smiled: "It's so tiring."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly, looking at Xie Jiajia as if he was talking about a stranger, without feeling sad at all.

Is my sister so generous?

"By the way, I heard that Prince Liang's wedding date has been set." Xie Jiajia looked at Xie Zhaozhao and asked, "How is the family now?"

"Of course my mother and I are still the same as before." Xie Zhaozhao said: "It's just that the two in Yilanyuan are not getting along well. It is said that mother and daughter have a quarrel and haven't talked to each other for a while."

"Oh?" Xie Jiajia raised her eyebrows, "Can biological mothers and daughters also have quarrels?"

"Of course." Xie Zhaozhao said, "There may not be resentment between blood relatives."

"And many times, once you start to resent the people closest to you, you are often more unreasonable than when you resent outsiders."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "It makes sense...I heard that the mother and daughter filled their own pockets and took away a lot of money and property from the family. How much did you get back?"

"Two houses were taken over, worth a few thousand taels."

"Wouldn't it mean that only a small part would be recovered? Now that she is getting married, a dowry must be prepared for her!"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled: "Yes, I am marrying the King of Liang. Why, I must have more than [-] qi."

"This dowry is the honor of Duke Liang's palace, so it must be prepared properly."

Xie Jiajia looked at Xie Zhaozhao's eyes, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You are such a clever guy."

……

The wedding date of Prince Liang and Xie Xingchen is set at the end of October.

It was only two months from the appearance of the child at the Water and Land Conference to the day of the wedding.

Generally, when a prince marries his concubine, the Ministry of Etiquette must prepare for it for at least half a year or more.

It also takes three to four months to marry a concubine.

Now that Xie Xingchen and Prince Liang are getting married, they are really anxious.

Firstly, it was naturally because the affair between the two of them was not honorable. Secondly, it was probably because Emperor Xuanwu wanted to retain Prince Liang, which had something to do with the situation in the DPRK.

Even though the second brother-in-law is currently on bad terms with the first-fang, he still can't write two words of "thank you" in one sentence.

Xie Wei still persuaded Mrs. Yu to make good preparations and marry Xie Xingchen successfully, which would save her face and the relationship between the brothers.

Yu's heart was naturally filled with reluctance from the boss.

On this day, Xie Zhaozhao went to have lunch with her, and Mrs. Yu sneered, "Over the years, mother and daughter have put a lot of things in the house into their own pockets. Now that they are getting married, I have to prepare a dowry for her. What? reason!"

She wished she could kick Xie Xingchen and Dou out immediately.

"Just spend some money to buy some peace of mind." Xie Zhaozhao comforted: "Be prepared, don't let people outside see the joke."

Yu took a deep breath and said, "You really can't owe others anything, especially some feelings and fate. As long as you owe them, you won't be able to pay them back for the rest of your life."

Xie Zhaozhao knew that Mrs. Yu was relieved and said, "Let's go, I will pick it out for her."

"Ah."

Yu and Xie Zhaozhao went to the warehouse with a bad expression.

Xie Zhaozhao specializes in choosing porcelain screen ornaments and the like.

Yu looked at it and rolled her eyes at Xie Zhaozhao, "You are quite generous."

"Since we have to prepare, we must do it right." Xie Zhaozhao pointed to the things he picked out, "Bring these to Prince Liang's Mansion, and others won't say that we treated her badly or disrespected the royal family."

Yu nodded.

In fact, she didn't notice that Xie Zhaozhao was very skillful in choosing things.

They all chose decent-looking and expensive-looking ornaments.

In fact, these ornaments can only be displayed to look good, and it is very difficult to replace them with real money.

These things originally took up a lot of space in the warehouse, but now taking them out not only saves face, but also makes Xingchen unhappy.
