Chapter 193: Come and see
Chapter 193 Come and seek
Ruan Youqing, who was originally calm and listening to other people's gossip, froze in place with a shocked expression on his face.
Mu Fei was also obviously taken aback, and then looked at her little daughter's silly look, she couldn't help but reached out and tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Silly girl, what are you doing here in a daze? Waiting for you at the mansion?"
"Go back... Go back!" After Ruan Youqing realized it, she immediately grabbed her mother's hand and ran towards the Ruan Mansion.
And the passerby who spread the news saw the person in front of him run away suddenly, couldn't help but said to his companion in surprise: "Why was that little girl so excited just now? It looks like giving her a betrothal gift." of."
"Perhaps... Mr. Shoufu is her dream lover, right? Don't look at his usual ruthless methods, but his appearance alone has attracted many girls to like him!"
Ruan Youqing, who was away, didn't hear the discussion behind her, she just wanted to know why Gu Changan suddenly came to give her a betrothal gift!
And... don't tell her in advance!
Seeing that his silly daughter was about to rush to the main entrance full of parked vehicles, Mu Fei hurriedly grabbed her and pointed to the wall beside her: "You can't go in through the main entrance rashly! Go! Let's climb over the wall!"
As he spoke, Mu Fei jumped onto the high wall first.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing had no choice but to follow closely.
Four figures entered over the wall in such a majestic manner. After seeing the hidden guards patrolling everywhere in the Ruan Mansion, they could only look away with complicated expressions.
Mrs. and Ms. climb over the wall together...
It was really the first time I saw it in my life.
After Mu Fei took Ruan Youqing back to the room and tidied up, he took her to the front hall.
At this time, Ruan Chong was coaxed into a smile from ear to ear by Gu Changan.
And Granny Jiang and Mrs. Ning Guogong came in person, and they were also listening to Gu Changan with a smile on their faces.
"Youqing is here?" Following the whisper of the sharp-eyed Granny Jiang, the flattered Ruan Youqing hurried forward and performed a solemn ceremony to the elders.
Mrs. Ning Guogong took her hand with a smile, and said slowly: "Youqing, today I am here to bring Chang An Ding. Look, how about the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month?"
Ruan Youqing encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and he seemed a little at a loss: "I... I... I can do it... the elders are the masters..."
When she finished speaking, she blushed with embarrassment at what she had said.
You can say whatever you want...wouldn't it look like she's not reserved...
And... this day... is it so settled?
Ruan Youqing couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he was somewhat looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive.
Gu Changan also walked over with a smile: "Grandmother, don't scare her, she is very 'cowardly'."
"You... why did you suddenly..." Ruan Youqing bit her lower lip, her face was already turning slightly red.
After Ruan Chong heard this, he chuckled: "Well, it's not sudden. He told me in advance that he would come here today to give the dowry. It's just... this kid said he wanted me to hide it from you and give it to you. A surprise. I thought, you like him too, so I agreed."
"Changan has been preparing for these things these days. After you came back from Baiyun Temple that day, I came back right after you." Granny Jiang said with a smile at this time.
Mu Fei, who was also kept a secret, didn't think much of it. After all, Ruan Youqing was brought up by Ruan Chong. Since he has no objection, it means that this marriage is very suitable for his family Youqing.
And she was inexplicably excited about this kind of thing.
Being suddenly given a dowry gift by a loved one...It really pokes a girl's mind.
Just thinking about it, Ruan Youqing had already returned to her side, grabbed her hand, and said in a very low voice: "Mother..."
Mu Fei patted her dotingly, and then looked up at Gu Chang'an: "Chang'an, I know that you wholeheartedly want to marry Youqing home, and you came to give the dowry today, and I am also happy for Youqing. But...you can Did you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to give the Rong Mansion a betrothal gift today?"
Ruan Youqing, who was still in a daze just now, gradually came to his senses after hearing his mother's sensible words.
The dowry gift that Li Yi sent to Rong's residence was only ten carriages.
But he, Gu Changan, brought twenty carriages to their Ruan Mansion.
Moreover, Li Yi did not follow. Gu Chang'an brought the matchmaker and Mrs. Ning Guo to the door in person.
hiss...
Although Gu Changan's move is a bit inappropriate, but...
have to say…
This silent slap to Rong Yan's face made her feel extremely refreshed!
Seeing that Ruan Youqing's expression changed again and again, Gu Chang'an replied in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, General Mu, Chang An is aware of the prince's affairs. A few days ago, when Chang An and his grandmother were going to talk to the emperor about this matter, it happened that the prince His Highness was also discussing with the emperor about going to the Rong family to give the dowry. The original words of the prince were that, as the prince of Ningguo, he should put the people first and not waste money. The emperor was naturally happy when he heard this, and naturally agreed to his request. Then ..."
Having said that, Gu Changan looked at Mrs. Ning Guogong with a smile in his eyes.
Mrs. Ning Guogong raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Afterwards, I told the emperor that my family, Chang An, does not have to be as oriented towards the people as the prince when he marries a wife. Moreover, Chang An's parents left early, and if he married The daughter-in-law still feels aggrieved, and I don’t have the face to explain to his grandfather and parents when I turn around and die. The emperor saw that what I said was such a reason, so he agreed. But this day... tsk, the prince can’t give the bride price , don’t allow us to send it?”
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would not dare to do so.
Thinking about the identity of Mrs. Ning Guogong, Ruan Youqing gradually understood.
Emperor...I'm afraid he couldn't survive his aunt's nagging before he agreed.
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing lowered her head to hide her smile, avoiding being found out that she was not reserved.
Afterwards, everyone stopped teasing the shy Ruan Youqing, and after seriously setting the date, Gu Changan, Mrs. Ning Guogong and Granny Jiang said goodbye and left.
Because of Ningguo's customs, on the day of presenting the dowry, the man is not allowed to stay at the woman's house for too long, so Ruan Chong and Mu Fei did not invite them to have dinner together.
After Gu Changan and the others left, Ruan Chong sent someone to unload the betrothal gift from Gu Changan, while he himself took the gift list.
Although Ruan Youqing didn't pay much attention to this kind of things on the table, since it was given by Gu Chang'an, she couldn't help being curious about what he gave.
Mu Fei on the side naturally saw through her careful thinking, and after a chuckle, she pushed Ruan Youqing in front of Ruan Chong, and said, "Look at it if you want, there are not so many rules in our Ruan family for you to be sure." Be reserved."
Ruan Chong raised his head when he heard the voice, the surprised expression on his face has not faded.
"Well, Changan treats you really well."
Seeing his grandfather speak, Ruan Youqing became even more curious.
Therefore, she didn't care about being reserved, and leaned up to read the gift list.
"One hundred taels of gold wares, ten thousand taels of silver, three hundred bolts each of brocade, silk, silk, and silk, ten pieces of gold embroidered and painted clothes, a set of red gold emerald head and face, a set of exquisite emerald emerald head and face, and a gold-plated head and face inlaid with gemstones. set, a set of golden silk inlaid with ruby heads, two wild deer and wild geese..."
In addition to all kinds of jewelry and antique decorations, the rest are naturally those Sijing fruits, four-color sugar, three animals, seafood and the like.
However, after she finished reading, Ruan Chong handed over another piece of vermilion letter paper.
It is impressively written that You Qing kissed him.
"Since it says that you should open it yourself, we can't go and see it without authorization." Seeing Ruan Youqing took it, Ruan Chong said with a straight face.
Ruan Youqing pursed his lips in embarrassment and smiled, then slowly opened it.
