As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 444 The Dowry
The Chen family prepared the marriage of Chen Shulan and Xie Changyuan as quickly as possible.

Although they were getting married at the bride's house, which eliminated a lot of etiquette, under the instructions of King Zhongshan, Chen Zhiji also made the matter very grand.

Since Chen Shulan was sent back to the Chen family by Xie Changyuan, she has been busy with her own marriage, selecting trousseau jewelry and tailoring wedding dresses.

The Chen family was a powerful force in northern Hebei, possessing military power and strong financial resources.

It originally took at least a month to embroider the wedding dress, but as the embroiderers worked day and night, it took shape in ten days. It was elegant, noble and luxurious.

Chen Shulan put on the wedding dress and stood in front of the mirror, a little dazed.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

He didn't seem to have much reaction yet, everything had been decided, even the wedding clothes had been completed.

With eyes full of amazement, Qing Moss stood beside Chen Shulan, supporting her, and repeatedly praised "Miss, she is so beautiful."

Grandma Liu and the stewardess who specializes in wedding clothes were on the other side, leading the maids and embroiderers to help arrange the skirt and discuss the details that needed to be improved and the size changes.

The voices of those discussions became a buzzing sound in Chen Shulan's ears, which was a bit distant.

After an unknown amount of time, the room became quiet.

Aunt Liu and her two maids helped Chen Shulan change out of her wedding clothes. "It's basically ready. There are some trivial details that need to be filled in. It can be done in half an hour and it won't delay tomorrow's ceremony."

Chen Shulan nodded blankly, "Okay...I understand."

Seeing her dull expression, Aunt Liu bent over and patted Chen Shulan on the shoulder and said kindly: "Don't worry, Miss, everything is going smoothly...the marriage process has been decided."

"When the time comes, Xi Niang will be by your side to remind you what to do."

"Miss Wealth has always been familiar with the etiquette of wealthy people. Although the etiquette at this wedding ceremony is somewhat different from the usual etiquette, it is actually the same as the previous one, except that there will be more guests around."

"Ah."

Chen Shulan nodded again and couldn't help but take a breath, "I didn't expect the day to come so soon..."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Miss, are you reluctant to part with the old prince?"

"kind of."

Chen Shulan lowered her head, "I have not had a mother to take care of me since I was a child. My grandfather is the person I am closest to. The grandmothers and wives who taught me at that time were all chosen by my grandfather himself."

"When I was young, he would see me almost every day and check on my study progress. But then my grandfather became busy and had no time to see me."

Later, the King of Zhongshan was stationed at the border.

The Chen family's relatives moved to Jizhou City, and Chen Shulan saw King Zhongshan even less often.

Just seeing you during the holidays.

But her grandfather was always the best person to her in the Chen family. He would miss her even if he didn't see her in person. He would send people many gifts every year, and he would never forget the birthday gift every year.

This time I marry Xie Changyuan, and I may go to the capital with him soon.

When the time comes, the two places will be separated by thousands of miles, and I wonder if there will be a chance to meet again.

Thinking of this, Chen Shulan felt sour in her heart.

Aunt Liu sighed secretly, she didn't expect this.

It's just that the daughter's family will eventually get married. Can she still stay in Northern Hebei and stay with the King of Zhongshan for the rest of her life?

Even if Chen Shulan wants to, others may not agree, and the King of Zhongshan may not be willing either.

Aunt Liu was thinking about how to comfort her, when a servant stopped on the porch outside and said, "Old Prince, please come over and talk to me."

Chen Shulan's face lit up: "Okay, I'll go there right away." She had not seen the King of Zhongshan since she returned to Northern Hebei.

After setting the marriage and returning to Chen's house this time, I met my grandfather twice.

It's just that every time I go there, it's about marriage, or my second uncle and Chen Shuwen are present, and Chen Shulan just pays homage and says the right things.

She is getting married tomorrow, and the King of Zhongshan must have been a little considerate when he asked her to come over tonight.

She can also talk to her grandfather about what is on her mind.

Chen Shulan thought like this. She was sorting out her mood on the way to King Zhongshan's study. There were many things she wanted to say to King Zhongshan.

But when she arrived at the study and saw the gray-haired King of Zhongshan sitting behind the desk, Chen Shulan couldn't say a word.

She still bowed politely, stood beside King Zhongshan's desk, and called "Grandpa."

When she was very young, she always called her grandpa, but later, she somehow changed her name to grandpa.

"Laner."

King Zhongshan raised his eyes with a smile and handed a booklet to Chen Shulan: "Let's take a look."

"what is this?"

Chen Shulan opened it and found that it was a dowry list, including gold, silver and jade articles, a farm shop, and a manor on the hillside... The important thing is that these are the properties of the capital, and the gold and silver deposit certificates also belong to the bank in the middle of the capital.

5000 taels of gold and 3 taels of silver.

Chen Shulan suddenly raised her head, "Didn't my second uncle already give it to me? This is -"

"Grandpa prepared this for you."

The King of Zhongshan sighed and said: "Although your second uncle has made a lot of preparations, those shops and fields are from northern Hebei. You will go to the capital when you get married."

"You are in the capital and your property is in northern Hebei. Even if someone helps you take care of it carefully, if something suddenly happens, water from afar cannot quench your thirst nearby."

"Grandpa has prepared this other one for you. Then Xie Changyuan... it seems that he is not a reliable person. If it weren't for the rumors, why would grandpa be willing to marry you to that kind of person?"

"It's just a last resort... But don't worry, your status is different from that of a noble daughter from an ordinary family. Your father died in a royal infighting. Your Majesty feels guilty for the Chen family. After you get married and return to Beijing, grandpa will send you a personally written letter. His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please take good care of you. Then Xie Changyuan will not dare to be too presumptuous and bully you."

"The property in Jingzhong is for you to use. You don't have to rely on him to eat and drink, rely on others, and you don't have to grovel."

"It's just that Xie Changyuan... has bad conduct. Grandpa, I'm afraid he won't be able to change his habit of eating shit in the future. If he messes around with flowers and makes you sad, hey..."

The King of Zhongshan sighed, with a painful look on his face: "To put it bluntly, all the men in the world are all the same. They like the new and dislike the old, and they are attracted to the Qin Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. It's just that Xie Changyuan is direct, and it shows on the surface."

"Other men pretend to be serious, but behind the scenes they may be even more heartless. Remember grandpa's words, don't put too much thought into men, and you won't suffer."

"Take more care of yourself and don't put your expectations on outsiders, so that you can live happily."

Chen Shulan's eyes were already moist, and she shouted in a low voice: "Grandpa——"

"Cry."

The King of Zhongshan stood up and patted Chen Shulan's head gently, "You little girl, my grandfather has never seen you cry since you were six years old."

"My arms and legs are obviously thin, but my eyes are red after a fall, and I still have to force the tears back."

"Your father is really not a good father..."

Having said this, King Zhongshan sighed again.
