Lin Weixi declined to no avail and returned to her room with a thick stack of gifts.

The gift book is divided into two parts, one is the betrothal gift sent by King Yan, and the other is the dowry prepared by Princess Shoukang. Perhaps there should be three copies, and the other one is the reward for Lin Yong's canonization by the court. After Lin Yong passed away, the property was inherited by his only daughter Lin Weixi. These were originally hers, and neither King Yan nor Princess Shoukang had any intention of letting her use them.

The three gift booklets are stacked together and are quite thick. Lin Weixi picked up a book and flipped through it.

What she drew was the dowry prepared by Princess Shoukang. Shoukang listed them in great detail in the book, including box furniture, seasonal brocades, gold and silver utensils, everything from color to material to pattern was clearly recorded, and even the weight of the gold utensils was marked on the side. Apparently Princess Shoukang was afraid that Lin Weixi would be cheated of her dowry in the future, so Ning Fan wrote a clear message to her.

Lin Weixi followed the rows, looking carefully and slowly. She saw many familiar things on the list, including her mother Wei's dowry and her own.

Indeed, the eldest princess Shoukang went there for the dowry from the very beginning of her preparations, and later the British government forcibly demanded it back from her. The princess's residence admittedly took a strong breath, but other than pulling her back to see things and hurt her feelings, in reality It's of no use. These furniture and boxes were originally built for the purpose of dressing up her daughter and granddaughter. The two passed away one after another. It was sad to see the festive things piled up in the warehouse. The eldest princess Shoukang is old, and she has no other Younger generation, who else can I give it to if I save it? It's just a cheap clan mansion a hundred years later.

It was also destined that Lin Weixi appeared not long after. Shoukang had a reaction as soon as he saw Lin Weixi. Yes, that's it. Shoukang suddenly found his spiritual support and soon loved Lin Weixi as his biological granddaughter.

Now that Lin Weixi is getting married, to Prince Yan as his concubine, and by the way to be Gao Ran’s mother-in-law, the eldest princess Shoukang woke up laughing in her sleep several times. In this case, there is nothing to say. Princess Shoukang was happy. She had to let Lin Weixi marry in glory. The dowry would be beyond the reach of people in the capital within ten years.

The eldest princess Shoukang is worried about Lin Weixi’s taboo, after all, it contains the dowry of her predecessors. The female officer next to Shoukang specifically told Lin Weixi that all the gold and silver jewelry of Wei and Gao Xi had been melted and made into new ones. The trunks and boxes were all made of first-class wood. The wood would last no matter how many years it took. The red paint needs to be repainted. If you don't like the remaining porcelain, incense burners, and vases, you can replace them with new ones.

Of course Lin Weixi thought it didn't matter. The dowry was not a coffin. It was passed down from generation to generation. There was nothing taboo about it. What's more, Lin Weixi didn't say a word that she was very willing to see her mother's relics again.

The eldest princess Shoukang was relieved to see that Lin Weixi had no grudges. Lin Weixi was now sitting in the boudoir with a faint fragrance. She put down the dowry list prepared by Shoukang and picked up another one.

This is Lin Yong's award. Lin Weixi has read it countless times and has already remembered it in his heart. In fact, not many of Lin Yong's things could be cashed in. The court only gave a few ingots of cash indicatively, with the words "Manufacturing Supervision Department" branded on them, so they couldn't spend them at all. The remaining ritual utensils representing the Marquis, Lin Weixi also Don't dare to take it out and melt it. As for the imperial edict and the golden book and iron certificate, they have no other use except for showing off.

In the final analysis, the most important thing about the legacy of Zhongyonghou Mansion is the land deed. It is said that the land and the farm are the foundation of a family. Of course, Lin Weixi had no family, and King Yan didn't know what to do. He exchanged part of her land around the capital and exchanged the rest for fertile farmland and rich soil. Only less than half of the land remained in her hometown of Shunde.

Lin Weixi silently praised King Yan for his good work. He could advance, attack or retreat. He usually used the fertile fields around the capital to make money. If something happened, he could still return to his ancestral home, Shunde. There were no mistakes in making progress or retreating.

When Lin Weixi thought of King Yan, he immediately thought of the stupid things he had done a few days ago. She put down the list, her cheeks feeling a little hot again.

Lin Weixi thought in hindsight that since the betrothal gift had also been sent, her marriage to King Yan must have been finalized. In a few months, she will become the wife of the person who has always existed in legends and whose reputation she grew up listening to?

Lin Weixi was stunned for a long time, feeling like he was stepping on clouds, without any sense of reality. She was going to be a wife again, and this time it was very different. What should she do if she still wasn't qualified? What's even more terrible is that it was she who went to King Yan's study to bring it up in the first place.

She probably had water in her brain at that time, and she must have cooked it when she had a fever. What on earth has she done!

Lin Weixi was looking at the dowry list in the room, and Princess Shoukang was also talking about it.

"Miss Lin looked at it very carefully. After looking at it for a while, she became stunned."

The eldest princess Shoukang laughed after hearing this: "Perhaps she was thinking about her father's farm land deed in a daze. In fact, just based on the things left by Marquis Zhongyong, Sister Xi can have enough food and clothing for her whole life. I am just Get her some daily necessities."

The female officer smiled and said yes, but in her heart she thought of the darkness and strife in the world. Of course it would be no problem if Marquis Zhongyong was alive. Even if the Lin family had an uncle and a brother, it would be slightly better. However, there is only one girl left in the Lin family, Lin Weixi. If King Yan hadn't gone to take Lin Weixi over, these land deeds might not have been in Lin Weixi's hands. Even if he got it, , which may not be a good thing for her.

But the female officer immediately thought of Lin Weixi's face and felt relieved. Lin Weixi looks like that. Even if he doesn't have a huge fortune, living among the people is actually quite dangerous. All beauty without the ability to protect itself is a disaster, but now with King Yan escorting her, Lin Weixi will become Princess Yan in the future. This shows that Lin Weixi’s beauty, life experience, and inheritance are destined by God, and she should have this fate. .

The eldest princess Shoukang still chose the day with great interest. The female officer was pleased to see Shoukang in high spirits. She smiled and said: "The princess is really in a good mood. I'm afraid she never cared so much when she was declining."

As soon as the female officer said it, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. As expected, Princess Shoukang's expression darkened and she asked: "The prince-in-law still lives in the Wei Mansion?"

"Princess..."

"It's nothing." Shoukang sneered, "I'm not a newlywed, it's been so many years, who would care about him? I'm afraid he was disgusted when he saw what I prepared for Sister Xi. I just returned to the Wei Mansion to entertain my grandson. Come and demonstrate with me."

Seeing that Shoukang did not look sad, the female official felt relieved and said: "The prince-in-law is connected with the brothers of the Wei family after all. I heard that the Wei family had another son and grandson two days ago. It is only natural for the prince-son-in-law to go back and tease his nephew. There have been several young ladies in their family getting married in the past two years. Mrs. Wei’s wife brought several young ladies here to pay her respects to the princess. I’m afraid she had this idea at that time.”

"Ha." Shoukang thought it was funny, and she actually laughed. "He complained that I ruined his career. He didn't return to the princess's house for many years, and we became strangers. Princess Shang made him unable to participate in politics. It's my fault, and I can understand his resentment, but since he doesn't want to recognize me as his wife, then don't focus on the property of the princess's house. While he went home to complain, he also kept an eye on my fiefdom, hoping that after my death It's ridiculous to leave all private property to the Wei family. Where do they have the courage?"

When it came to Shoukang's housework, the female official didn't say anything and just said: "Princess, don't be angry, you still have Miss Xi."

As soon as Shoukang heard Lin Weixi's name, he immediately turned from anger to joy: "Isn't that right? I still have Sister Xi. I give my things to whomever I like, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no control over them. The more the Wei family behaves like this, The more I want to subsidize my private house to Sister Xi."

The days of preparing for the wedding passed day by day, and the palace of Princess Shoukang was beating gongs and drums and making arrangements. The capital city was bombarded by the scandal of Prince Yan marrying a concubine, and now it was numb. Everyone calmly watched Prince Yan's Mansion and Princess Shoukang's Mansion decorated with lights and decorations, preparing to welcome the new couple.

The discussion outside about Lin Weixi, the new Princess Yan, has never cooled down, but Lin Weixi herself knows nothing about the excitement outside. She stays in her former courtyard of the Princess Mansion every day, never leaving the front door or taking a step outside. , prepare for marriage with peace of mind. One day she heard a noise, and it seemed that the wife of the Wei family was coming. Lin Weixi knew the virtues of the Wei family. She originally planned to go out to meet the Wei family so as not to embarrass her grandmother, but she was stopped by people from the Princess Mansion after taking only two steps. The female official next to Shoukang smiled and said that Lin Weixi was Princess Yan, so she didn't need to let outsiders disturb her purity, so she could just prepare the dowry with peace of mind.

Since the eldest princess Shoukang did not need her, Lin Weixi did not ignore her grandmother's kindness and stayed in the room with peace of mind. The Wei family was very hostile to Lin Weixi who had seized their property, but they could not even see Lin Weixi's face. As for the harsh words prepared in advance, naturally they can only swallow them back and continue to hurt their teeth.

Lin Weixi's world was peaceful and peaceful. Gao Ran couldn't sit still after seeing Princess Shoukang's amazing battle that almost moved the entire princess mansion. She chose a day that wasn't too hot, ordered someone to hitch a carriage, and returned to the British palace with the Crown Princess's guard of honor.

The British princess lay on her side on the Huanghuali Arhat bed, with a red pillow behind her back. The little maid held a beauty hammer and gently massaged the legs and feet of the British princess. Gao Ran moved an embroidered pillar and sat in front of the Arhat's bed, frowning irritably, talking to the British princess.

"You are going out today, have you reported to your elders?"

A woman who leaves the court must obtain the consent of her husband's family even if she returns to her parents' home, but the British father-in-law has nothing to do with it. She is worried that Gao Ran will be criticized by her husband's family if she returns to her parents' home too frequently.

Gao Ran said: "Grandma, don't worry. My father is busy all day long and doesn't care much about the affairs of the house. The prince also takes special care of me. If I want to go out, I can just set up my own car and no one will gossip."

The British father-in-law then remembered that Gao Ran had no mother-in-law or mother-in-law on his head, so he could move much more freely than an ordinary daughter-in-law. The British princess sighed: "When you get married, you will be the master of the family. You don't have to be angry with your mother-in-law. For this reason alone, countless women in the world will envy you."

Gao Ran was also very satisfied with the early death of Gu Chengyao's mother. Isn’t there a sentence before time travel, there is a car and a house, both parents are dead, although Gu Chengyao only lost his mother, but King Yan is not at home all year round, there is no difference from this sentence. It's a pity that Gao Ran's carefree married life will be compromised now.

The British Duke-in-law obviously also thought about the Princess Yan who was about to enter the house. Obviously everything was going well, but suddenly a mother-in-law appeared out of thin air. Of course, Gao Ran and the British Duke-in-law were not happy. However, who dares to say anything about King Yan’s nod?

The British lady-in-law could only console her: "It's okay. Your new mother-in-law is not much different in age from you. She has been living with your aunt in the country. She must be an ignorant idiot. You let her go first and wait for everyone to see. Once you know your strengths and weaknesses, life will be easier in the future."

The British princess's thoughts coincided with Gao Ran's. Gao Ran thought the same way. She let Lin Weixi go first. After King Yan and others saw Lin Weixi's true face clearly, Gao Ran came out to turn the tide. , wouldn’t it be just right to clean up the mess? If necessary, maybe give it a push or two.

The British princess looked at Gao Ran and knew that she understood. Since Gao Ran knew what he was talking about, the British princess stopped going further. Among her many granddaughters, Gao Xi may seem inhumane, but she is actually very kind and righteous. Only the third granddaughter has a soft smile and a gentle voice, but her actions are indiscriminate. Facts have proved that Gao Ran's personality can lead to great things. Not only will he marry well, but he will also win the respect of his husband's family. I am afraid that he will be able to help his mother's family in the future.

The British princess was very satisfied in her heart. She even felt that it was not a big deal to be forbearing and being vicious. It was an advantage if used well. She took it for granted that although Gao Ran was cruel to others, the British government was her natal family and was definitely not on the list of "others".
