Chapter 31 Private Dowry

If the Royal Palace really attaches importance to this engagement, why is the following betrothal gift so shabby? Then the eunuch sang the gift list so that they could not even hold their faces. Many people listened to it outside, and this joke was so big that it was a big deal. I am afraid that the entire capital would spread within an hour. Where did the Feng Mansion face be placed?

Finally, the gift list was finished and the betrothal gifts were moved into the Fengfu compound.

Feng Jinyuan had a dark face, and the old lady was so angry that she needed two servants to support her to stand. Shen did not react much, and the Imperial Palace did this, so don’t blame the Feng Mansion for how the three women and women of Yao in the future. Those who always think that Yao is the main mistress of the Feng Mansion is also time to wake up.

But just when everyone felt that this farce that was embarrassed at the door of the house could finally end, Mrs. Zhou spoke again: "That's all the betrothal gifts for the Feng Mansion. Next, it's our Royal Highness to the future Princess!"

Everyone was in an uproar!

What is a private betrothal gift?

Who invented this kind of ghost thing?

The old lady's stiff waist trembled, Feng Jinyuan's iron-black face was a little distorted, and even Shen was confused.

Feng Yuheng was also confused. What is a private betrothal gift?

Mrs. Zhou looked around the Feng Mansion with a stern face. Feng Yuheng saw the smell of contempt from her eyes.

"His Royal Highness said that Feng's mansion is worth so much for Miss Feng Er, and the 3,000 taels of silver actually gave a lot more. If we look into it, the Feng family's efforts to Miss Feng Er are far less than that of Miss Feng Er."

I understand the meaning very clearly. I know how your Feng family raises a daughter in my heart. I have given you three thousand yuan to praise you.

Mrs. Zhou raised her hand and the maid next to her handed over another gift list. This time, Mrs. Zhou handed the gift list directly to Feng Yuheng-"This is the private betrothal gift from His Highness the King of Imperial Palace to the Second Miss. Please check it out."

Feng Yuheng took the gift list and looked down, and saw a long list full of words, and the same thing dazzled her.

Without waiting for her to finish reading, Mrs. Zhou raised her hand again, and the eunuch who had previously sang the gift list spoke again - "Please give Miss Feng Er a private betrothal gift to the mansion!"

After saying this, another group of people at the door carried wooden boxes covered with big red silk and started moving them into the mansion.

"His Royal Highness gave Miss Feng Er a glass-type jade cabbage, a pair of mutton fat white jade vases, a pair of Jiulong jade cups, a pair of night pearls in the East China Sea, a pair of yellow jade Buddha hand flower inserts, a pair of coral Pixiu, a pair of malachite mountain and water inserts, a gold-embedded gem hollow flower pattern octagon box, a green jade chrysanthemum petal daffodil bonsai, a pink crystal hairpin, a lucky hairpin, a butterfly tassel hairpin, a white jade peacock hairpin, a colorful jade hairpin, a pearl exquisite eight-treasure hairpin, a gold bell bracelet, a glass jade bracelet, a red gold silk bracelet, a white jade eight immortal bracelet, a pair of gold inlaid jewelry folding bracelets, a set of Persian craftsmen's gold bracelets..."

Everyone was distraught, from ornaments to jewelry, to their heads and faces, not to mention the Feng Mansion people were shocked, even if the empresses in the palace saw them, they were all jealous. However, the Royal Palace carried these strange treasures in the world and boxes into the Feng Mansion.

Not only that, in addition to the ornaments and jewelry, as the eunuch said, "The bed of a hundred treasures of mountains and rivers" was heard, everyone watched the people outside carry a gorgeous big bed in.

Perhaps it was to cooperate with this bed, followed by screens, tables and chairs, duobao grids, bookshelfs, mirror tables, and even tea sets. This was obviously a matter of renovating the entire room for Feng Yuheng.

After all the items were delivered, the eunuch finally shouted in a louder voice: "His Royal Highness Yu gave Miss Feng Er a shop in the capital, six villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and one house on Qilin Street in the city. I also gave Miss Feng Er a pocket silver note of 100,000 and 20,000 gold note-" The last ten thousand words flipped the long tail sound, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

As the eunuch finished singing the ceremony, all the boxes were also entered the courtyard. The originally spacious and grand courtyard of Feng Mansion was piled up so that there was almost no place to get off the feet. A servant from the Royal Palace squeezed Shen's family and said coldly: "Please let this lady go."

Shen shouted in anger: "Bold slave!"

Mrs. Zhou's face sank again: "The servants of the Imperial Palace will be disciplined by His Highness, so how can you yell and scold me!"

Shen's eyes were on fire and were about to explode. Old Mrs. Feng paused to the ground, glared at her, and glared Shen's anger back.

Mrs. Zhou personally handed a wooden box to Feng Yuheng, and then sang a kind heart: "The silver and gold tickets and the house land deed are all here. Please collect them. I wonder if the second lady is still satisfied with the betrothal gift of His Royal Highness, the second lady?"

Without waiting for Feng Yuheng to answer, Shen snatched another sentence: "Satisfied, of course you are satisfied with such a betrothal gift!"

Mrs. Zhou changed her face in an instant: "I am talking to the future princess, so how can I let you be presumptuous!"

Mrs. Shen was held back again.

"Please let the second lady make it clear." Mrs. Zhou turned to Feng Yuheng. This time, the two looked at each other for a long time.

"Aheng thanks His Highness the King of Imperial Palace for his kindness, and thanks for his wife's care. These betrothal gifts are very suitable for their wishes." She said lightly, laughing on her face, but she did not see any sign of joy for money.

Mrs. Zhou nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Feng Yuheng's attitude.

But Feng Yuheng also thought about it in his mind, what was the purpose of the man giving her such a heavy betrothal gift? In theory, he should not know what kind of person the so-called second lady of the Feng family is, and it is even more impossible to think that she is the one in the deep mountains of the northwest. Since that is the case, this betrothal gift is really just given to the second lady of the Feng family, and it has nothing to do with her Feng Yuheng?

Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable. When I looked at Mrs. Zhou again, I thought about it and lowered my head and said whispering: "Your Highness Yu Wang attaches so much importance to this engagement, it is a blessing for the second lady of the Feng family."

Mrs. Zhou patted the back of her hand and said something that made Feng Yuheng feel particularly bright in her heart: "When I left the mansion, the prince asked the old man to tell the girl that the weather in Beijing was hot and not cooler than in the northwest mountains. I also asked the girl to use more herbal tea to remove the fire."

A smile that could not be hidden on her face was rippling. It turned out that he knew that he actually knew her. Looking at the betrothal gifts in the yard, he felt very happy.

Once she is in a good mood, some people will be in a bad mood, such as Feng Fandai.

This girl felt that her heart had been going on since she saw Feng Yuheng this morning. She felt that Feng Yuheng had no advantage, she had lost the status of a legitimate daughter, lost the favor of the old lady and her father, and lost the fiancé who was originally the most perfect, and she was pulled to the same level as herself.

But before she could get so beautiful, Feng Yuheng made a big turn in a blink of an eye. This turn of turn was so angry that both people and gods were angry.

In fact, it is not just about pink. It can be said that except for the calm An and Xiangrong, everyone's hearts were rising and falling. Even Feng Chenyu put away the Bodhisattva's face and could not show a generous expression.

"These things are all private betrothal gifts given to the second lady by His Highness the Emperor of the Imperial Palace. They have nothing to do with the Feng Mansion. The second lady will collect them by herself." Mrs. Zhou once again reminded everyone that these things were all for Feng Yuheng alone.

Shen quit: "Mrs. Zhou, since ancient times, the betrothal gifts given to the woman by the man were accepted by his parents' parents' family. How could the daughter's family take them by themselves? This is the rule!"

"Rules?" Mrs. Zhou sneered, "I have never heard of such rules as I have ever heard of. Why not, please tell me about your first wife, that is, where is our future Princess' biological mother now?"

"She is naturally in the mansion!" Shen answered the words subconsciously. Feng Jinyuan passed the cold warning look over, which scared her to shrink her neck, but she couldn't swallow this, so she muttered: "Who told her that her mother's home was punished by the emperor."

This was extremely small, and even Feng Jinyuan, who was standing beside him, could not hear it very clearly, but Feng Yuheng took advantage of the wind to hear it all.

She picked the corners of her lips and turned to Shen: "What did my mother say? The emperor punished my grandfather's family to a deserted state, but did not issue an order to send my mother to a long-married one?" She pretended to think: "It seems that there was no more serious defeat for a certain person at the beginning. Even if the grandfather of the concubine was killed, the emperor was only demoted to the official position and paid the salary. I think that compared with the favor of the concubine, the emperor valued the medical skills of the grandfather more."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Feng Jinyuan's eyebrows were so frowned that he was about to wrinkle out of water. Feng Yuheng's words were clearly said to him. It was because the emperor did not issue an order to report to Yao at the beginning. The reason why he drove her out of the court was entirely the Feng family's own idea. And for so many years, the Feng family has always thought that it was right to do this, but why did Feng Yuheng say it now and he felt that it was too hasty at the beginning?

The imperial concubine was very favored by that time. The emperor set a record of only summoning her for three consecutive months. But even though he was so favored, the imperial physician Yao did not get a death sentence after he died, but was only demoted and sent to the deserted states.

At that time, the Feng family was afraid of being implicated, so they found out that the Yao family was convicted and made arrangements for the Yao family in the backyard overnight. Now that I think about it, it’s just a demotion and exile in the deserted state, what’s that? His father-in-law, Doctor Yao, is still alive, and everyone in the Yao family is alive, only Yao family and Feng Yuheng Feng Zirui have been guilty for three years!

Feng Yuheng watched her father's emotions change like a storm, and infinite irony arose in her heart.

But Shen couldn't understand that this was for Feng Jinyuan. She felt that Feng Yuheng was holding on to Yao, and her eyes immediately stood up and refuted it-"Will the emperor say everything clearly? It's not that the people below think about it themselves."
