Chapter 245: Confessions

"Girl, what's worse is that the fifth young master brought the man back to the God-Snatching Sect and was guarded by someone, and I didn't have the chance to get it."

Due to the tight time, Tao Xin did not find the real gangsters to perform this fight, but instead asked the people from Juxing Pavilion to pretend. These people usually hide in the dark to protect Juxing Pavilion and prevent people from causing trouble. Although there are very few people in front of everyone, if the fifth son finds out anything, Juxing Pavilion may be in trouble.

She originally wanted to go in and find an opportunity to kill someone, but there was a place where the Shenguan Gate had no key and she couldn't get in at all.

Xu Zhilan scolded angrily, "Idiot, why didn't you give them poison first?" If they were asked to put the poison into their teeth and were captured alive, they would just bite it.

Peach heart, ""

She wanted to create chaos in the carriage at that time, but she didn't want to kill Chu Xinyu. She just wanted her to get a little injured and could not attend tomorrow's event. She knew that she would suddenly get off the carriage and go into the store to buy things, and the carriage left first.

She thought that Chu Xinyu wanted to go shopping, but she thought of a fight between grievances and grievances in the world. If Chu Xinyu accidentally injured him by accident and escaped, the world was so big. Where can I find these people in the world? What's more, I will find these people in the world, let alone a small injury. If I didn't kill anyone, I would naturally leave it alone. No one would suspect them.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she could not mobilize the Shadow's people for a while, so she had to go to Juxing Pavilion to transfer people. But she never expected that at the most critical moment, the fifth young master would appear and catch the person. She just caught this person and knew a lot of secrets of Juxing Pavilion. Once she fell into the God-Snatching Sect, after being severely questioned, who would know whether he would betray them?

"Where did he lock people up?" Xu Zhilan returned to his anger, but soon calmed down.

"The groundwater prison of the God-Catcher Gate has no keys, and the servants cannot enter."

This is awful. The water prison is in the basement, which is dedicated to detaining those serious prisoners. The water prison only has two keys, one on the sect leader and the other on Fu Guanzhang.

The prisoners detained in the water prison will never open without asking for the result.

The leader of the God Captain's Sect has extremely high martial arts skills, and Tao Xin is not his opponent. It is impossible to steal the keys from him without any hesitation. The only hope can only be placed on Fu Guanzhang.

Seeing Xu Zhilan remained silent, Taoxin said, "Girl, don't worry, I will find a way to get the key from the fifth young master."

"How do you take it?" Xu Zhilan looked at her and sneered, "My fifth brother is not a fool. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close to you. Moreover, it is not easy to solve the problem of getting the key until the key is returned to him and let him realize it at all."

"What should I do?" Tao was anxious.

Xu Zhilan sat down and waved her back and said, "You retreat first, let me think about it."

But it was said that Chu Xinyu met Chu Jiayi at the intersection and returned home in a carriage. The carriage had just entered Caixia Street, and the originally spacious street was surrounded by many people at this moment, and the carriage could not be squeezed in at all.

There was a sound of blowing and beating in front of me.

Chu Xinyu frowned slightly, and remembered what Lin Chenyao had sent her before, and she felt a vague premonition in her heart.

"What happened?" Chu Jiayi asked.

Chu Jiayu shook his head and reached out to lift the curtain to look out when he heard Lan Yi sitting outside saying, "Girls, someone in front of him gave him a gift, blocking the street. The carriage cannot pass, we have to get off the carriage and walk."

"Who is Nacaili's son-in-law so high-profile? Could it be?" Chu Jiayu seemed to think of something, widened his eyes and turned to Chu Xinyu, "It's the Marquis of Beiping."

Chu Xinyu's face was slightly warm. She never expected that Lin Chenyao's betrothal gift would be so big. She was shocked and her heart was warm.

Although there was no romantic proposal in the 21st century, there was a ten-mile red-branded edict to the world. She saw that these gift-giving people were well-trained and had orderly work. It seemed that he had put in some effort for today.

Seeing Chu Xinyu showing a slightly shy expression, Chu Jiayu knew that she had guessed it. She almost jumped up happily. The show was really domineering, and the gift-giving person almost blocked the streets.

Fortunately, it is not far from the Hou Mansion, so there is no problem walking, but there are so many people, it is inevitable that they will be squeezed and bumped. Their group got off the carriage, and Lan Yi drove the way in front.

Before Chu Xinyu got off the carriage, he had covered her with silk on his face, so no one recognized her along the way, so that they could reach the gate of the mansion smoothly.

However, the people who had already given gifts in front of the door were blocked, so they had to go around the small door on the side and enter. As soon as they stepped in, they saw Chu Jiayun standing in front of the wall with her maid.

Seeing Chu Xinxin, Chu Jiayun walked forward happily and said, "You are finally back."

"What's wrong"

Chu Jiayun thought she didn't know, so she said, "The Marquis of Beiping is here to give the betrothal gift in person. Hurry up, let's go and have a look."

After speaking, she took Chu Xinyu's hand and left.

"Eight Sister, what are you doing?" Chu Jiayi grabbed Chu Jiayun's hand and asked.

A well-educated girl cannot just walk to the front hall of guests, and today is the day when the Marquis of Peking came to get a job. What will people say when they see this? Haven’t the eighth sister thought about these?

Chu Jiayi let go of Chu Xinyu's hand, twisted a fragrant ropa in her hand, and looked at Chu Jiayi with grievance and said, "Second sister, I just want to take the fifth sister to watch the fun, there is nothing else to do."

"I didn't say you had any other meaning, but we ran away like this and were seen as unpretentious." Chu Jiayi said.

Chu Jiaqi said, "What if you want to go and see the fun?"

Chu Jiayu suggested, "Can we just go around the back hall to see it?"

Chu Xinyu actually didn't want to go very much, but was pulled by Chu Jiayu and Chu Jiayun, so he had to go with them.

There was only a screen separated from the back hall and the front hall. When they arrived, Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating were already standing under the window.

"You are here too." Chu Jiaqi saw Chu Xinyu and stepped forward and held her hand enthusiastically and said, "Fifth sister, congratulations, I really didn't expect that Pingbei Hou valued you so much, and actually brought so many Na Cai gifts."

Just now, she was in the front yard, watching the betrothal gifts in mahogany painted gift boxes lifted into the mansion one after another, and the boiling jealousy almost swallowed her up completely, but she knew clearly that she could no longer compare with Chu Xinyu. Before she was still alive, she could only temporarily rest on others.

Chu Xinyu didn't care about her change before and after Chu Jiaqi. She avoided her hands without any trace and walked to the screen with Chu Jiayi. Lin Chenyao could be seen at this angle. Today, he was wearing a dark-patterned cocoon silk with a transparent large-sleeved shirt. This way he dressed up less cold and had a touch of approachable affinity.

At this time, he was handing the post in his hand to Mrs. Chu, which was recorded as a betrothal gift list.

Before Chu Xinyu and others came in, the eunuch had read the gift list once. Old Mrs. Chu had already knew it, but her hands that had taken the gift list were inevitably trembling a little.

There were too many betrothal gifts, and the gift list used a thick stack of mud gold paper and held it in the hand.

Originally, she heard that the eldest princess was not very satisfied with the marriage, and probably the dowry was given according to the rules, which was better than the Rong family at most, after all, it was the Duke's Mansion. She counted the remaining dowry of Mei, and took some of her dowry out to make up for it, and then transferred some money from the official account to buy a dowry. In general, she would not lose the face of the Hou Mansion.

But when she heard the eunuch read the gift list just now, she knew that the items sent by Duke Rong's mansion were precious items, and most of them were things in the palace. In comparison, the dowry she was about to give Chu Xinyu was really shabby.

For marriages between famous families, money is second to etiquette. Whether it is the man’s betrothal gift or the woman’s dowry, there must be a balance. In this way, no one will be greedy for each other’s property, and the relationship between marriage and marriage can be harmonious for a long time.

The Duke Rong Guo’s Mansion has sent so many betrothal gifts. Now it seems that no matter what, they have to help Wu Yatou buy the same or similar dowry. Thinking of this, Old Lady Chu began to feel a headache.

Old Mrs. Chu looked at the gift list and handed it to the second wife.

Looking at the gift list, the second lady's mind was contrary to the old lady Chu. Last night, the old lady specially asked her to discuss their sister's dowry and asked her to take the account book at home.

But the account book is still in Chu Xinyu's hands, and she only got it back today. The old lady meant that she wanted to take some silver from the account to buy a dowry for Yu Yatou. Naturally, she had no problem with this matter, but the problem in the account has not been found yet.

However, she hadn't told the old lady about this, but when Yatou Yu gave her the account book in the morning, she checked with her husband how much silver Yuan had lost, and then she had to find out how much money Yuan had lost.

Also, she was greedy for the dowry of Mei and wanted to recover it. In the past, she had no right or qualification to stop it, but now Yu Yatou is also investigating and pursuing it. As an agent in charge of the family, she naturally had to help. The gift list from the Duke Rong Mansion was an opportunity, a chance to recover the dowry of Mei and from Yuan.

"Will there be too many bride gifts?" Chu Xiao frowned when he saw the gift list. Since Zhongyi Hou was not here, except for Old Lady Chu in the mansion, he had the most right to speak for himself. Today was him and his eldest son who were entertaining Lin Chenyao.

He remembered that the last time the prince married a concubine, the Na Cai ceremony was handled according to the regulations in the palace, but the number of betrothal gifts sent by the Marquis of Peking today was undoubtedly the same as when the prince married a concubine.

Chu Xinyu, who was squeezed in front of the screen, couldn't help but look at Lin Chenyao curiously, wanting to know what he was thinking. This show is more than the prince's marriage to a concubine. Isn't he afraid of being impeached by the censor?

Lin Chenyao said, "Not much. Some of the betrothal gifts here are from Duke Rong's Mansion, and some are from the Marquis Mansion in Peiping. Although the Marquis Mansion is still under construction, it is the son-in-law's intention to Yu'er. If it weren't for the tight time, he would still want to sell Jianjiang's land for cash."

When the old lady Chu heard this, her heart suddenly became tighter, "No, no, no, this is enough."

It turned out to be a betrothal gift from the two mansions. No wonder there were so many. I just relaxed my heart, but I heard Lin Chenyao say, "The Empress Dowager said that today's fundraising event was so successful, and there were many suggestions from Yuer, so the son-in-law's marriage was handled according to the royal family, so this betrothal gift is nothing."

If it weren't for the disaster that came from various places in the Xu Dynasty and the national treasury was vacant, and he was afraid that too many betrothal gifts would be criticized and caused unnecessary suspicion, he would have been very restrained. The betrothal gifts for royal family members to marry and wife would have to be at least 120, and his only 88 platforms, because today is an extraordinary period and cannot be too arrogant. Therefore, what he sent is good things, one piece can match two or three others.

"I have discussed with my father," Lin Chenyao said, "I have regarded Yingshui Villa outside Kyoto as a betrothal gift, and the last page of the gift list has been added."

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Chu almost stood up, and she said, "How can that work?"

The terrain of Yingshui Villa is very good. The fruits planted in that area are particularly sweeter than other places. The royal palace was built there. Later, the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son was born, which was the day Lin Chenyao was born. Later, Lin Chenyao rebuilt the palace and became the current Yingshui Villa.

Even if the emperor has given the land to Lin Chenyao, it cannot be changed that the place belongs to the royal land. How can they take royal things?

Lin Chenyao said, "There are hot springs in the villa, and there are many fruit trees planted around it. Yu'er said that their sisters like to soak in hot springs and eat fruits. When summer comes, the villa is the most suitable for summer escape."

The few people peeking behind the screen were also surprised and looked at Chu Xinyu.

Chu Xinyu lowered his head slightly and gently brushed away his drooping head. She had never said Lin Chenyao's words, and she didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd.

When the old lady Chu heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry. How could she think that her future grandson-in-law is like a scattered boy? No matter how much property there is in the family, she can't stand such trouble. Could it be that he already knows Yu Yatou's situation and that there are not much dowry left for her biological mother. In order to make up for her, she specially sent so many betrothal gifts.

If this is the case, wouldn’t the eldest princess be even more dissatisfied? At that time, Yu Yatou will not be able to gain a foothold in Duke Rong’s Mansion. However, this grandson-in-law is very considerate and can do this for Yu Yatou, but she will not be loved by her mother-in-law and have the love and support of her husband, which will make up for the shortcomings.

Forget it, since the gift list has been added, and then they will return Yingshui Villa as a dowry, they will not be greedy for this.

Next, Lin Chenyao sent a letter to Zhibian.

The wedding date is scheduled on August 16th.

Seeing the date, the second wife had no objection. The wedding date was ten days apart from Chu Jiafan. It was close to the distance and was easy to do. She just prepared two copies at that time.

Then the old lady Chu said that it was so broad that she would go and rest first. Leave other details to Chu Xiao and his son to discuss with Lin Chenyao. She had to go back and discuss with the second wife about Chu Xinyu's dowry.
