The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 111 Betrothal Gift

Tang's mother couldn't read, so she had no idea what was written on the list.

However, looking at this long list, Tang's mother was stunned for a moment.

He called Yuan Mingkang over with some hesitation and asked, "Mingkang, can you recognize all the words on it?"

Yuan Mingkang took it, looked at it, and nodded, "I know him."

Tang's mother said, "Then read it all out loud."

Yuan Mingkang unfolded the list and read out the following: "Two pairs of wild geese, one pair of jade ruyi, five sets of gold jewelry, five sets of jade jewelry, five sets of silver jewelry, two sets of jade cups, two sets of gold cups, ten pieces of gold silk and jade gauze..."

It's five full pages, filled to the brim.

The betrothal gift prepared by Princess Qinghe stunned the Lu family.

Others have prepared so many betrothal gifts, so what should their family give in return?

The Lu family was worried.

Princess Qinghe smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with the betrothal gifts prepared by our Princess Mansion?"

These five long pages of paper and those gold, silver and jade artifacts, no one knows how long it will take ordinary people like them to earn them. What objection could they have to such a complete betrothal gift?

Tang's mother said, "The princess has prepared everything, we have no objection." Tang's mother thought about it and said, "But is the princess preparing too much?"

They were just ordinary people. Moving so many valuable things into their small courtyard made Tang's mother afraid that they would be targeted by thieves.

But she really couldn't say this out loud. After all, this was a token of someone's kindness, and she couldn't let people think that her family was ungrateful.

Princess Qinghe smiled and said, "Not much. This is the standard for a general to marry a general's wife."

After hearing what Princess Qinghe said, Tang's mother didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.

But I started to worry silently in my heart, how should their family prepare the dowry when the time comes?

Princess Qinghe has settled the betrothal gift issue, and now it’s time to talk about the marriage between the two.

Smiling, she said to Tang's mother, "Sister, I asked Peipei to give me her birth date and horoscope, and I also matched the horoscopes of the two children. I did not get your permission in advance, so I was wrong. I apologize to you here today."

How could Tang's mother accept Princess Qinghe's apology? She quickly said, "These two were going to get married anyway, so it's only natural that they match their horoscopes. I wonder what the result will be?"

Princess Qinghe extended her hand to the nanny behind her.

The nanny took out a piece of red calligraphy and handed it to Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe took it and handed it to Tang's mother with a smile.

He said, "I have asked the abbot of the famous Fuquan Temple in the capital to personally match the horoscopes of the two children. Abbot Du Yuan said that the horoscopes of the two children are very compatible, and the wedding date has also been chosen, which will be the 18th of next month. Do you think it is feasible?"

When Tang's mother heard this, she was surprised and said, "So urgent? It's the 18th of next month, and there's not even a month left!"

Princess Qinghe said, "It's a bit anxious. Abbot Duyuan said that if they miss the 18th of next month, they will have to wait at least two years before they can get married."

Tang's mother asked, "Why?"

Princess Qinghe didn't know either. Logically speaking, there should be at least one or two suitable days in a year, right?

But Abbot Du Yuan did say that if they missed July 18th this year, they would only have the chance to get married two years later.

At first, Princess Qinghe did not agree with this time. After all, July 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is Ghost Festival, and is too close to the 18th.

But Abbot Du Yuan didn't explain why. He just said that after this day, we would have to wait for two years.

But if she waits another two years, wouldn't she be unable to let her grandson call her grandmother sooner?

Well, that would definitely not work, so in order to be able to reunite with her grandson and his family as soon as possible, she had no choice but to go and discuss this matter with the Lu family.

"Abbot Duyuan didn't say anything specific. I think the two children should get to know each other and get married soon."

Tang's mother couldn't make a decision for a while. After all, she didn't want her daughter to get married so hastily. In her heart, she would actually rather wait for two more years.

Her daughter is only seventeen years old now, so she can afford to wait another two years.

However, Mu Jintang and Princess Qinghe can't wait.

Princess Qinghe has already said that she hopes the two children will get married soon, and she can't disagree. It seems that she will have to let her daughter down.

Tang's mother said hesitantly, "I wonder if Peipei will agree?"

Princess Qinghe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I sent someone to talk to Peipei the other day, and she can understand."

Hearing that her daughter had agreed, Tang's mother could only give in, "Then it's all up to the princess."

Princess Qinghe was very happy.

"I knew you were a straightforward person, sister. Since time is tight, don't worry, I will never treat Peipei unfairly. I will go back and prepare the proper etiquette."

Princess Qinghe was about to stand up as she spoke.

Mother Tang said quickly, "There's no need to be so anxious. The princess can stay for lunch at noon. We'll serve farm dishes. The princess can try some of them."

Princess Qinghe was in a hurry to go back and prepare the three books and six ceremonies, so she said, "Now that you mention it, I really want to try it, but I have to go back and prepare everything as soon as possible, so that I can marry Peipei into the family earlier. As for this meal, when we become relatives in the future, I will definitely come to your house to taste this farmhouse dish."

After saying this, he apologized to Lu Gang and others, and hurried away with his people.

Tang Peipei was in the room and knew more or less how things were going, not to mention there was a microphone.

Lu Xinyu kept telling Tang Peipei what happened in the main room from time to time.

After Princess Qinghe and her people left, Tang Peipei came out of the house.

The Lu family members all looked at Tang Peipei, wanting to hear her explanation.

Tang Peipei was a little embarrassed. She had been busy with the store's affairs during this period, and also had to learn court etiquette with two teaching maids. For a moment, she forgot about this matter.

Tang's mother said earnestly, "Peipei, since you know about this, shouldn't you tell your family about it? You're a girl, and you've already set a date for your wedding, but you didn't tell us. How should we, the elders, deal with this?"

Tang's mother still felt a little sad as she spoke. She felt that Tang Peipei was capable now and no longer regarded her as a mother in her heart. She would not discuss anything with her.

Tang Peipei quickly apologized: "Mom, I'm sorry! This is indeed my fault. I was negligent. The store has been doing well recently, and I was so busy that I forgot about it."

Speaking of the busy store, Tang's mother knew this. After all, Liu Yeling helped in the store every day and would talk about the situation in the store when she came back.

Hearing Tang Peipei's words, Tang's mother softened her tone and asked, "So what are your plans now?"

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Since it has been decided, let's get married sooner. Now that the business is slowly getting back on track, my aunt can help make decisions about the future. And I can be at ease as the general's wife."

In this way, the marriage of Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang began to be put on the agenda.

Apart from talking about the drought in Qianzhou, the most talked about thing in the capital was that Princess Qinghe and General Mu did not love ladies, but country girls.
