Chapter 485
Chapter 485
A series of events had caught Tang Fengchun off guard since Gu Xi and Duan Rou left the capital, which made her unable to react and was now isolated and helpless, not to mention she could no longer control the events that were happening.
Tang Fengchun furrowed her brows lightly as her gaze became even deeper.
No one has contacted her these days, so she does not know if Gu Xi and Duan Rou have arrived in Yuzhou, nor does she know what the next plan of Wang Yu was. She was like an isolated island in a boundless sea, abandoned alone in the capital, and had a vast uncertain future ahead.
Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Xiao Kouzi looked at Tang Fengchun’s slightly thin figure midst of the wind and snow, and casually dusted off her robe, before she returned to the east side hall and reported to Empress Wei that Tang Fengchun had already left.
Empress Wei was too lazy to respond and just continued talking to the Wei family and Qin Jiu, even laughing and crying while listening to the events that happened to her parents and siblings in Jiangnan.
When Qin Jiu left the palace in the afternoon, the emperor and empress ordered someone to add another box of gifts to Zhongyi’s mansion.
Old Madam Qin went through the dowry list again, and the more she read, the more satisfied she became. “Jiu’er this ruyi jade rewarded by the emperor and the empress can be put on the first box to hold a scene and also your honor.”
“This time the Wei family also sent you additional gifts, so counting, this dowry box and some can’t fit anymore…”
There were fixed rules for dowries, and as the future county princess, the number of dowries to be carried cannot be too many. Anymore, it would exceed the regulations of a princess.
While eating melon seeds, Qin Jiu casually said. “Grandma, I remember there are several boxes of materials, why don’t we just remove one box from that?”
“No!” Old Madam Qin immediately vetoed it without thinking. “Those are Yun brocade and Shu brocade, every inch of brocade is precious, you can’t just buy it even if you want to.”
Old Madam Qin repeatedly checked the dowry list, wanting to remove two items, but felt that neither could be lacking and was reluctant to remove them, and this made her torn for a while.
“How about taking away some medicinal herbs… No, ginseng, deer antler, Polygonum multiflorum, and so on are all essential.”
“These porcelain and decorations really take up space… but these porcelains are from the Ru kiln, and this red coral jade bonsai is also a rare thing.”
“Right, silver, why don’t I just change all this silver into silver tickets, then I can save a box, it’s just that these silver tickets are not as grand as real silver ingots ……”
Old Madam Qin chattered incessantly, while Qin Jiu had already given up giving her advice. Anyway, as long as she was enjoying herself.
After a long while, Qin Jiu was afraid that the old madam would dry up if she talked too much so she hurriedly said. “Grandma, have some tea, this is the Longjing that Grandma and the others brought yesterday. Try it.”
Old Madam Qin lightly glanced at Qin Jiu, feeling that this child was so big that she could be careless about her dowry.
Fortunately, significant blessings can only lead to a large heart.
