Chapter 248 Generous dowry
Chapter 248 Generous dowry
Chu Nanyue, who was crawling on the ground, looked up in embarrassment and found that there was a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes standing next to Chu Ziyu.
A crow flew across her forehead, and then it climbed up as if nothing had happened, and said calmly, "Brother, do you have guests?"
The corner of Chu Ziyu's mouth twitched: "Ah...Ah Yue, this is Master Chu Xuanchu's eldest son Chu Feng."
Before Chu Nanyue could say hello, her eyes were attracted by a little head that popped out from behind Chu Feng: "Hello, Sister Yue."
"Lu Lu?" Chu Nanyue exclaimed in surprise. It was Chu Lu, the person she had saved half a year ago.
She looked around, touched Chu Lu's little head and said, "Is Lu Lu fully recovered?"
Chu Lu smiled and replied: "Not only did she recover, but Sister Yue also cured her asthma that she had suffered for many years."
Chu Nanyue touched her nose and smiled with relief: "Lulu is still lucky."
If the incident had not happened suddenly that day, she would never have dared to go to extremes. Fortunately, Chu Lu turned a disaster into a blessing, and she was able to become the disciple of the Loyal and Brave Grand Tutor as she wished.
Then, she smiled and greeted Chu Feng: "Hello, Mr. Feng, why don't we move to the next room and eat and chat."
I think Chu Ziyu brought Chu Feng here for a reason.
Beiyuan is better than their Chu Mansion in every way, except that it lacks the atmosphere of fireworks.
Chu Nanyue climbed up the stairs as usual, but was stopped by Chu Ziyu: "Ayue, Shaoqi is here, you should follow the right path."
Chu Nanyue pouted, feeling that her elder brother's scent of books was even stronger this time when he returned.
As expected, he drank too much ink and spoke too much flowery language, and she could hardly understand what he was saying.
As soon as she entered the Chu family's home through the main gate, she was immediately shocked by the large and small mahogany boxes piled up in the courtyard.
Chu Ziyu said with a complicated expression: "Ayue, this is the red makeup that Master Chu Xuanchu's family gave you."
"So many? I don't deserve it." Chu Nanyue said in surprise.
Chu Feng smiled and replied: "The Princess of Yan has already joined our Chu family. She is actually a member of our Chu family. It is her duty to add dowry to her daughter."
With an unwilling mentality, Chu Ziyu spoke frankly without any hesitation.
"Come here, bring out the dowry that I prepared for Ah Yue."
Looking at the mahogany boxes being carried out one after another, Chu Nanyue opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Brother? You and sister-in-law are no longer together?"
Chu Ziyu said proudly, "We are just the beginning." Then, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Feng who looked frustrated, and said, "Don't show off your wealth. Let's go, I will talk to you in the room."
"Is it appropriate?" Chu Nanyue glanced at Chu Feng and smiled awkwardly.
She took that back.
Her eldest brother is not drunk with ink, and he still has a damn desire to compare.
"Suitable, suitable." Chu Ziyu pulled Chu Nanyue into the house without even looking at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng smiled helplessly: "Zi Yu, when it comes to buying dowry for my sister, our Chu family is naturally not as good as a wealthy businessman like you, but in the autumn examination two months later, I will definitely surpass you and take the first place, and then I will avenge my previous shame."
Chu Ziyu raised his hand without any modesty and said, "Same here."
Chu Feng looked at the two people's backs as they left, then sat down and sipped his tea leisurely.
He and Chu Ziyu hit it off right away, and they were both competing for this year's autumn examination at the Hanmo Academy, so they were naturally familiar with each other.
And this familiarity contains a bit more mutual appreciation than that of ordinary people.
The only way for the two of them to change their situation is to take the imperial examination.
He is Chu Xuan's illegitimate son and has no hope of inheriting the family business, while Chu Ziyu is the son of a criminal and has no choice but to take up a career in government and establish his own achievements...
Inside the room, Chu Ziyu came to the bedside and brought a box, then raised his eyebrows and signaled Chu Nanyue to open it.
Su Xi couldn't help but smile as she looked at her husband who seldom showed off. He was tall and slender. She had never realized he was so tall before. He was actually a head taller than her. He was also handsome, with a face as handsome as a jade and eyes as bright as stars. He was truly an excellent young man, rare in the world.
Now he is her husband. Thinking of this, Su Xi's cheeks turned red for no reason. She coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment: "Ayue, you can take all the 20,000 taels of betrothal gifts that King Yan gave you. Also, my father learned that you are getting married, so he specially presented 10,000 taels of silver on behalf of old friends and brother Axun as a wedding gift."
The former friend naturally refers to Chu Nanyue’s mother Gu Qinghua, which can be regarded as a comfort for her father’s regret back then.
Su Xi continued, "So, your elder brother and I didn't prepare any extra money for you. Instead, we found some shops in good locations. Although there aren't many, they are guaranteed to bring in money every year. When you marry into Prince Yan's mansion, you won't have to show up in public, nor will you have to rely too much on Prince Yan. You can live your own life by relying on the rent."
Isn't that a lot? Chu Nanyue looked through the land deed in her hand and roughly estimated that it was worth 20,000 taels.
What is the concept of twenty thousand taels?
When Prince Yan gave her a dowry of 20,000 yuan, everyone was shocked.
The 20,000 taels of land deed that Chu Ziyu prepared for her probably not only used up all the assets of their Chu family, but also the 10,000 taels of betrothal gift given to Su Xi.
She couldn't help but sighed: "Oh my god, I'm so valuable. I have both beauty and money."
Including the royal rewards and treasures in her hands, she had 60,000 taels.
The kind that can never be spent.
The smiles of Chu Ziyu and Su Xi froze instantly: "!!!"
I can't respond to this.
"Hehe, big brother and big sister-in-law, don't be so excited. I just stated a fact casually. But I can't take all of these dowries with me. The 20,000 taels of betrothal gifts from the King of Yan and the 10,000 taels of wedding gifts from the Marquis of Zhenyuan, you can keep them for daily expenses in case of emergency."
Chu Ziyu narrowed his eyes: "Ayue, do you know what a dowry is?"
Chu Nanyue blurted out: "These are the wedding supplies that my parents prepared for their daughter when she got married."
Chu Ziyu glanced at Su Xi and said casually: "Since it was prepared by her parents for their daughter to get married, if she doesn't take it with her, it will affect her family's fortune."
Chu Nanyue looked at Su Xi in confusion: "Sister-in-law, is there such a saying?"
Su Xi glanced at Chu Ziyu and nodded firmly: "Of course."
She knew that Chu Ziyu was afraid that Chu Nanyue would not be valued after marrying into Prince Yan's Mansion. After all, the two of them had their respective statuses. Only by preparing enough money for Chu Nanyue could he give her the confidence to live a carefree life.
Chu Ziyu embraced Su Xi gratefully and said, "Thank you, Xier, for helping Ah Yue prepare all this."
After all, they were a newlywed couple who had not seen each other for a long time. A little physical contact could ignite the long-lost throbbing. Su Xi felt Chu Ziyu's big hand caressing her waist, her body trembled, and then she ran out quickly: "Mr. Feng is still outside, I'll go and see."
Chu Ziyu realized his own gaffe, pursed his lips, and said stiffly: "I'll go take a look too... Ah Yue, lock the box and come out too."
Then, he left quickly.
Chu Nanyue smiled, she touched her waist, which was still sore, and then she happily sorted out the deeds.
