Everyone in the Shen family felt as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt.
Logically speaking, the amount of betrothal gifts that were given, the dowry in return would not be much different. Even though it need not be more than the betrothal gifts, it could not be too little. Otherwise when the young lady went to the in-laws' house, she would be suppressed. If the dowry was very generous and even more than the betrothal gifts, it would be glorious when one married over. Thus the more favoured the young lady married, the closer the amount of dowry and betrothal gifts.
Not to mention that Shen Xin doted on his daughter, but this dowry … Prince Rui had given so many betrothal gifts to the Shen residence, if one wanted a dowry that was not much different, even if one emptied the entire Ming Qi's treasury, there would not be that much!
Prince Rui gave the Shen family a difficult problem.
…
At night, Shen Miao sat under the lamp and could not help but want to laugh as she thought of Tie Yi holding a long list of betrothal gifts during the day.
Xie Jing Xing was really too reckless and actually wrote so many betrothal gifts. Shen Miao facepalmed. If others were to see this list of betrothal gifts, one fear that the Shen family would be envied by everyone in Ming Qi. However this list of betrothal gifts would definitely be found out by others and it was only a matter of time.
It was just that one did not know if Emperor Yong Le knew that Xie Jing Xing had written such a long list. Thinking about it, Shen Miao felt somewhat sad.
In her previous life when she married Fu Xiu Yi, Fu Xiu Yi did not give such a generous betrothal gift. Not to mention the Imperial family, there was not even a betrothal gift from an official's family and it could only be considered as ordinary. At that time Fu Xiu Yi said that the residence of Prince Ding was poor and he was simple in nature so he did not want to do it wantonly thus Shen Miao believed it. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were afraid that she would be wronged and took out more than half of the Shen residence's harvest as her dowry.
Those dowry were all given to Fu Xiu Yi.
If Fu Xiu Yi wanted to win over this and that, he would need to use money to buy people's hearts. She meticulously calculated every single cent and some of the old antiques and paintings in the Shen residence were also taken by her to be exchanged for money. Now thinking about it, after being married to Fu Xiu Yi for so many years, it was always her who brought the entire Shen family out and Fu Xiu Yi had never returned anything. Although matters of the heart depended on one's own willingness and did not ask for anything in return, as time passed, one's heart would be bitterly disappointed.
Especially after ascending the throne, Fu Xiu Yi's generosity towards Mei Furen and Fu Sheng was like a slap to her face.
Now that she was married to Xie Jing Xing, she did not know what kind of feeling she had in her heart. She was moved, but it was not as passionate as in her previous life, like a moth flying into a flame. But Xie Jing Xing had given her something that was beyond her imagination.
It made people look forward to this marriage.
The window was' knocked 'twice. Shen Miao looked up and saw Cong Yang pacing outside, so she opened the window. When Cong Yang saw her, he first bowed to her and said, "Young Furen, Master let this subordinate bring you over."
Shen Miao was stunned but in the blink of an eye she nodded her head, "Alright." Coincidentally, she also had something to say to Xie Jing Xing.
It was different from the first time, this time when Shen Miao came to the residence of Prince Rui, it was considered to be a lot more familiar. It was still Cong Yang who carried haystacks everywhere for Shen Miao to 'climb' the walls. He was thinking in his heart that next time he might as well break through all the walls and save the trouble.
When Shen Miao arrived at the residence of Prince Rui, when the servants of Prince Rui's residence saw her, they all stopped what they were doing and respectfully greeted her, "Young Furen!"
Shen Miao, "…"
Cong Yang said cheerfully, "Young Furen, everyone likes you very much."
Shen Miao only felt somewhat embarrassed and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
When she was led by Cong Yang to the rear courtyard of the residence of Prince Rui, she saw a snow white furball rushing towards her from afar and happily bit the corner of her clothes.
