"The property shops were not included in the list of gifts because they were all in Great Liang." Tie Yi smiled sincerely, "Your Highness, if you convert all of them into gold and silver, it would be ten thousand pounds of gold."
Five thousand Jin of gold!
Luo Tan almost fainted.
Tie Yi continued, "The bought residence of Prince Rui to the Shen mansion and all the other residences in between are also included. Someone will send the land deeds over later." He respectfully handed the list of betrothal gifts to Luo Xue Yan and said, "May Furen accept it."
Luo Xue Yan did not accept it.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. Luo Xue Yan did not dare to accept it.
That was ten thousand Jin of gold and there was such a long list of betrothal gifts. Was their Shen family going to become the wealthiest family in Ming Qi?
Did Prince Rui really not move the Great Liang's treasury over?
Was Prince Rui's brain sick?
Shen Xin frowned. It was still Shen Qiu who reacted first. He hesitated and carefully probed, "Does your Emperor know about the list of betrothal gifts that Prince Rui wrote?"
Tie Yi was stunned. Then, he thought of something and smiled. "Your Majesty doesn't care much about worldly possessions. Moreover, it's not a big amount."
Seeing the Shen family's shocked appearance, Tie Yi continued, "In the Great Liang's Imperial family, gold, silver and pearls are like sand, stones and fine soil, everywhere."
Everyone was in awe, it seemed that the Great Liang was indeed rich and the people were strong, rich to the point of overflowing with oil. Such a generous betrothal gift that could fill the Ming Qi's treasury in an instant, in their eyes, it was just like sand and stones, how rich was it?
Tie Yi continued, "But General Furen please be assured that His Highness marrying Shen Young Lady is all according to the Great Liang Imperial family's rites."
Only then did Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin wake up. Even though they were not lacking in gold and silver, they still paid special attention to Shen Miao's matter and followed etiquette. He also sighed that Shen Miao's betrothal gift was not even half as rich as the one that Emperor Wen Hui won from the Empress.
If it was an ordinary official marrying a wife, they would naturally have to consider that they could not be more generous than the royal family. But Prince Rui was not a Ming Qi person but a Great Liang person so naturally there was no need to consider this layer. Even if it was richer than the Imperial family, the Imperial family would not say anything. As such, Shen Miao's betrothal gift should be the grandest since the founding of Ming Qi.
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan finally had a trace of comfort in their hearts. No matter what, since the Imperial edict could not be changed, Shen Miao was destined to marry Prince Rui. Marrying out in style was at least the lifelong wish of many young ladies and it could be considered as a compensation for Shen Miao.
Thinking of this, the bad feeling that the two of them had towards Prince Rui had dissipated by quite a bit. Even their attitude towards the bearded man in front of them was much more amiable.
Luo Xue Yan asked, "But why haven't they sent the Geng invitation over?"
Before the marriage, one would need to match the Eight Characters of the Eight Characters, but because Shen Miao's marriage was very special, it was Emperor Wen Hui who directly decreed the marriage, thus this round was skipped.
Tie Yi said, "His Highness had already let a famous monk calculate his and Shen Young Lady's Eight Characters, and they are a match made in heaven, companions who have cultivated for five hundred years. Today, Madam, please hand over the title card to me. His Highness' title card will be sent along with the title deed. "
The other party's attitude was very sincere, as if no one could find fault with him no matter what.
Luo Tan could not help but ask, "When is the wedding date? In His Majesty's Imperial edict, there was no specific time mentioned."
Tie Yi smiled, "The marriage invitation is already done. His Highness will return to the Great Liang after the end of the year, and on the day of returning to the Great Liang, he will marry Shen Young Lady. She will wear red makeup all the way until the Great Liang's capital city gates."
That was equivalent to saying that from the Ming Qi's wedding, there would be gongs and drums all the way until they return to the Great Liang. After completing all kinds of wedding ceremonies in Ming Qi, it would be officially announced to the Great Liang's people upon returning. It was as if Shen Miao was raised to a very high position, to announce to the world that Shen Miao was Princess Rui's identity.
