Chapter 382: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (16)
An Huaitang said excitedly, "Xiaoxue, the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Jade Skin Pill are selling like crazy. Someone bought a Marrow Cleansing Pill and ate it on the spot.
As a result, he ran to the toilet after a while, and oh my, the scene was so smelly.
However, after he came out of the toilet, he said that he felt as light as a swallow and had much more strength than before.
With a wave of his hand, he split one of our tables in two.
Haha, don't worry, he has to pay the money, but we won't suffer any loss.
But with his making such a fuss, our marrow cleansing pill has finally become a big hit."
Yan Xue nodded, "The effect of the Jade Skin Pill won't show up so quickly, but I believe it will sell better at the next auction."
"Second Senior Brother knows that Junior Sister is the smartest."
"Then I'll go back first."
An Huaitang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Junior Sister, I'll transfer the share to your account later."
The day before the wedding, the entire Jiangcheng was decorated with red lanterns overnight. The bride's dowry, which totaled 280 pieces, was carried around the city and finally into the Prince's Mansion.
Duanmu Ci watched as several well-trained maids counted and recorded the accounts one by one, and then sealed the mahogany boxes into the warehouse.
By the time all the dowry had been stored, it was already dark. Duanmu Ci stretched his stiff back and looked forward to the wedding the next day.
The wedding time was very tight, but fortunately the Yan family was wealthy, and with the help of the four senior brothers, everything was arranged in an orderly manner within a month.
The wedding at the Prince's Mansion went on in an orderly manner.
Duanmu Ci came to Yan Xue wearing a wedding dress and riding a tall horse. He felt that the whole road was full of red.
The whole city was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Yan Xue's second senior brother even ordered people to spread candy throughout the whole process. Of course, they didn't just spread candy, they also spread copper coins.
The third brother even developed fireworks, and the wedding scene shocked the people.
When Yan Xue left the Yan residence, she sat in a sedan chair carried by sixteen people, which slowly circled in a circle.
Although Duanmu Ci knew that this was against etiquette, people in society were not fussy about trivial matters and would ask the same question to anyone who asked.
The two fairies in front of the sedan chair kept scattering flowers, and the four maids behind the sedan chair scattered candies and copper coins to everyone.
Duanmu Ci looked at such a luxurious wedding, although he felt a little sorry for the money, but when he thought of the radiant and beautiful girl in the sedan chair,
But I also feel that she deserves all of this and she deserves the best of all these things.
The entire wedding process was very complicated. By the time Yan Xue sat on the bed, she felt like her neck was about to be broken.
As the bridesmaid sang loudly, Duanmu Ci gently lifted the bright red veil.
In an instant, his eyes were attracted by the girl who was as bright and dazzling as a star under the veil, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
After completing a series of rituals, Duanmu Ci was hurriedly asked to leave the room.
After all, there were too many guests attending the wedding today. There were a total of 120 tables for the wedding banquet. Fortunately, the Prince's Mansion was spacious enough.
In addition, the street in front of the Prince's Mansion was filled with buffets for three consecutive days, which was an extremely grand scene.
"Miss, let me help you take off your headdress."
Yan Xue turned her neck and said, "Okay, hurry up, my neck is almost broken."
Bai Ling said distressedly, "Miss, let me give you a massage."
Yan Xue nodded, and Bailing put her hands on the young lady's shoulders and massaged her gently. Yan Xue felt much better after a while.
At this time, Huang Ying came in and said, "Miss, the hot spring is ready."
Yan Xue stood up and walked towards the hot spring.
Duanmu Ci finally managed to get rid of the people outside and walked into the bridal chamber with trepidation in his heart.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the girl wearing a bright red nightgown, sitting next to the dressing table.
Yan Xue waved her hand, "You all can leave."
The four maids in the room retreated.
Duanmu Ci felt hot all over as he looked at the incredibly beautiful girl in front of him.
"Prince, you will sleep on the small couch next to it tonight."
Duanmu Ci turned his head and looked at the small couch that had been made. It was like a basin of cold water was poured from head to feet, and all his romantic thoughts disappeared in an instant.
He stammered, "Today...is our wedding night."
"I know, that's why I let you stay in the bridal chamber. You will move to the next yard tomorrow."
Duanmu Ci pursed his lips in grievance, "Xue'er, we are already husband and wife."
Yan Xue rolled her eyes at him, "Whether we are husband and wife is still unclear. It depends on your performance."
Duanmu Ci felt wronged, but he still got on the couch unwillingly.
It’s okay. With his charm and looks, it would only take him a few minutes to win that woman over.
The next morning, Yan Xue packed up and walked with Duanmu Ci towards the last Buddhist temple in the palace.
Although the princess did not attend the wedding banquet yesterday, she still had to show the proper etiquette as a daughter-in-law.
When Yan Xue saw Princess Sheng, she felt that she was just as she had imagined, graceful and dignified.
But those eyes looked dull and lifeless, as if they had lost their vitality.
Princess Sheng drank the tea offered by her daughter-in-law and said calmly, "I know your wedding was hasty and there is nothing valuable in the palace. I am sorry for putting you in such a difficult position.
These things are meaningless to me, so I'll leave them to you today."
Yan Xue looked at the key in her hand quietly. She knew it was the key to the princess's private vault.
Duanmu Ci walked forward, held Yan Xue's hand tightly, and said to his mother,
"Mother, these things will be used as dowry for your granddaughter in the future, so you must take good care of yourself!"
When Princess Sheng heard the word "granddaughter", a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She nodded slightly.
After Yan Xue returned to her courtyard, she immediately called the housekeeper and asked him to send all the account books of the palace to my courtyard.
The housekeeper looked at the prince, and Duanmu Ci said, "From now on, all matters of the mansion will be handled by the princess."
The butler nodded. It was not easy to run their palace, and finally a manager had come.
Yan Xue carefully flipped through each account book and found that the palace's expenses were not large, but all the annual taxes were used to support the Black Armor Army.
The harvest was poor last year, and Duanmu Ci reduced part of the allowance, making the Prince's Mansion even more stretched.
Moreover, Yan Xue also discovered that the palace would have some additional expenses every year, which were clearly written in the notes and were all given to the old soldiers who were injured in previous wars.
Yan Xue closed the account book and looked at Duanmu Ci beside her, "I didn't expect you to be so poor?"
Duanmu Ci laughed and said, "Don't I have you now?"
