Luo Xue Yan handed the list of betrothal gifts to Tie Yi and said, "Read it."
According to Ming Qi's custom, the list of betrothal gifts must be 'sung' by the male side. The longer it was sung, the more generous the betrothal gifts and the more decent the female side would be.
It was obvious that Tie Yi was not used to doing this kind of thing as he flipped to the first page and dryly sang, "One Huanghuali bed surrounded by begonia flowers, one Luohan bed with three screens, one Huanghuali top cabinet, one Huanghuali wood cabinet, one Nanmu bookcase, one Nanmu treasure cabinet, one pair of cowpea red vase, one Huanghuali kang table, one pair of Huanghuali gold coin cabinet …"
The first page was furniture and everyone was dumbstruck when they heard it. So many things, even if it was placed in the current Shen mansion, it would not be able to fit. This was enough to place three residences!
He heard Tie Yi sing again, "A ruyi made of agarwood inlaid with jade, a ruyi made of fine jade, a lamp made of tin foil, a small gold-plated clock, a silver pocket watch, a pot of green jade and emerald bamboo bonsai, a pot of silver-plated plum blossom bonsai, a plain tricolor eighteen seed plate, a pot of powder enamel tea, a sigh of Chen's virginity wine, a bamboo and plum blossom double happiness hanging mirror, a splendor hanging screen …"
Every single item was worth a lot and would be able to exchange for a few years of an ordinary family's expenses. This Prince Rui came with such a large pile, even if one had money, it would not be used like this. Luo Tan sniffed and somewhat timidly pulled Shen Miao's sleeves, "What does Prince Rui's family do … Are you a salt merchant …? "
Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin also frowned. This Prince Rui's betrothal gifts were too generous.
But without giving them time to be surprised, Tie Yi had already continued to sing. The third page was daily necessities. He sang, "Six boxes of boxwood comb, two boxes of Xiang and Shu bamboo comb, one red sandalwood dressing box, mouthwash, sandalwood soap, curtains, satin door curtains, glass bead door curtains, green water, five coloured tassels, mandarin duck pillow, eight beds and eight covers …"
Everyone in the Shen family, "…"
Tie Yi continued to the fourth page of clothing, "Big fur Qi-style clothing, silver mouse skin, grey mouse skin, sheepskin, pearl fur, twelve sets of various cotton Qi-style clothing. Thirty-two sets of gauze clips, silk clips, satin clips, and cloth clips. Single shirt, spun silk, fox silk. There were twelve sets of cotton silk and chiffon printed gowns. Five Blessings Holding Longevity, Phoenixes Wearing Peonies, Hundred Butterflies Wearing Flowers, Ten Thousand Words Unbuttoned Clothes, Twelve Sets. Thirty hides of fine silk, six bolts of scented cloud muslin, twenty bolts of woven brocade, ten bolts of cloud brocade, ten bolts of Sichuan brocade, and twelve bolts of silk yarn. Thirty-six embroidered satin quilts, twenty pairs of embroidered shoes, forty pairs of silk stockings … "
Luo Xue Yan couldn't help but ask, "This … Little Brother, could it be that you took the wrong betrothal gift list from Prince Rui? This … is not right!"
How was this marrying a wife? This was Princess Shang's procession! No, not even Princess Shang is so particular about it.
Tie Yi said expressionlessly, "It will not happen. The residence of Prince Rui only has this list of betrothal gifts. Madam, please continue to listen. "
He sang the fifth page of gold and silver jewellery, "One plate of coral pearls, gold foil pearls, beeswax pearls, agarwood pearls, four pieces of green jade ornaments, four pieces of white jade ornaments, two pieces of crystal accessories, pearl bracelets, emerald bracelets, coral bracelets …"
He sang the sixth page of antique calligraphy and painting, "Four pairs of woven gold coloured porcelain vases, one pair of Lang Hong jade vases, one pair of Cheng Hua coloured vases, one Xuande blue glazed white plum vase …"
He sang the seventh page of four boxes of books, one box of four treasures of the study.
He sang the eighth page of maids and servants, and personal guards.
He sang the ninth page of horses and vehicles.
The tenth page of …
Everyone in the Shen family, "…"
The more Tie Yi sang, the smoother he got and the longer he sang, the more he sang. Compared to those old students in the Xiao Chun City, the lingering charm lingered in the air. Every sentence he sang made one feel as if they were seeing a large amount of shining silver. When he finished singing the last sentence, he subconsciously stopped and let out a long breath before closing the betrothal gift list. He then looked towards Shen Miao.
