The grass in the factory should be plucked

The next day, Jiang Li received a large cart of return gifts from Cui Jin, saying that it was to add to her makeup.

Jiang Li felt overwhelmed when she saw the young eunuchs carrying in boxes of jewelry, silks, antiques and rare treasures.

What should others do with your generous "makeup"?

She was a princess personally conferred by the late emperor. When she got married, the empress, concubine, and all the ladies with royal titles had to give her gifts and add to her dowry.

Concubine De gave a huge gift, so it wouldn’t be good for others to give too much, right?

Song Yan, the palace maid who was trusted by Concubine De, smiled and said, "The Queen has ordered that the Marquis must accept it."

She whispered again, "The Queen said that the Marquis has been so kind to the eldest prince that we cannot repay him. The Cui family is entirely at the Marquis' disposal!"

When Cui Jin received the jade pendant from Jiang Li, he was surprised and delighted to hear that it was a "defensive jade talisman" that could withstand a full-strength attack from a top master.

This is a priceless treasure! Jiang Li gave it to her just like that, how could she not be grateful?

Nangong Qinghe did not tell her the truth, but only said that Jiang Li was worried that someone would harm the eldest prince, so she specially found this defensive jade talisman and gave it to her. If she wore it close to her body, it could protect the eldest prince in her belly from danger.

Cui Jin was so smart that he immediately realized that this might be related to the unexplained death of the King of Qin’s youngest son!

She was extremely grateful, and gently stroked her bulging belly, murmuring, "My dear son, with the protection of Marquis Jing'an, you will be safe and everything will go well!"

High House.

Minister of Rites Gao Yisong was so busy with Marquis Jing'an's marriage that he didn't return home for several days and nights.

Mrs. Gao Jiang was furious when she saw her daughter-in-law Jiang Yao was indifferent.

She called Jiang Yao over and said, "Your sister is getting married, why don't you go and see her? Even if she doesn't need your help, you should at least add some makeup for her, right?"

"Add to her makeup?" Jiang Yao laughed. "Mother, don't you know what my daughter-in-law's situation is like now? What can I use to add to her makeup?"

Don’t you even look at what kind of life she has been living during this period?

Ever since she had to return her dowry to Jiang Li, Jiang Yao has been penniless and can only rely on her monthly salary to survive, leading a very frugal life.

Even her husband Gao Wenxuan was not in a good mood. As soon as he came back, he went to the concubine's room and didn't want to talk to her at all.

Jiang Yao knew that he blamed her because of her mother, Yu. Even though she had a sister-in-law like Marquis Jing'an who was favored by the emperor, she couldn't be on good terms with her, let alone get any benefit from her!

Jiang Yao cried and argued with him.

"It's obviously a feud between her mother and daughter and my mother. What does it have to do with me?"

Gao Wenxuan sneered, "Your own brother can lower his dignity and work for her, why can't you put down your pride and apologize to her and admit your mistakes?"

"Marquis Jing'an is kind to his three brothers, so why would he target you alone?"

Jiang Yao cried, "Why do you want me to apologize? I was raised in seclusion and I don't know anything. How could I have done anything wrong?"

Gao Wenxuan sneered: "How did your family suddenly become rich? Don't you have any idea?"

"You dare to say that you didn't spend the money? Have you ever asked where the money came from?"

"Knowing that you have a sister, didn't you also watch her helpless in the countryside and sent to the palace just after she reached the age of 15?"

Gao Wenxuan became angrier and angrier as he spoke. His legally married wife, the future mistress of the Gao family, turned out to be such a selfish, cold-blooded woman!

A virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband. Just look at his father-in-law and you will know.

Gao Wenxuan wished he could divorce this woman!

But he didn't dare to do so, because his father was still thinking about how to curry favor with the marriage of Marquis Jing'an.

"If I were Marquis Jing'an, I would naturally ignore you!"

Gao Wenxuan turned away in anger.

Seeing that Jiang Yao asked her to add makeup to Jiang Li, she took off the silver hairpin on her head and said sarcastically, "If I use this to add makeup to the Marquis, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in the door!"

Jiang had a headache: "Forget it, don't go and embarrass yourself!"

She had no choice but to find a few valuable items from her own private storehouse and send them to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion as a "relative".

Jiang Li received the gift list from the Gao family, smiled, and asked Manager Liu to accept it.

She and Shangshu Gao were officials in the same court, and they were busy arranging her marriage. There was no need for her to turn against the Gao family for Jiang Yao, an insignificant person.

When Jiang heard that Marquis Jing'an accepted the gift, she was greatly relieved.

She said to Gao Wenxuan, "Your cousin is indeed a person who can accomplish great things. She is generous and open-minded, unlike Jiang Shi, who is petty. You are sisters with close blood ties, so why are you so far apart?"

Gao Wenxuan was filled with regret: "If my mother had married me to the second daughter of the Jiang family, wouldn't my son have been able to soar to the sky?"

Jiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I had told you about a concubine, would you have been happy?"

They both sighed. Who could predict the future?

As the wedding date was approaching, Aunt Lian came every day to urge her to return home.

With the help of her father-in-law, Jiang Li finally finished reading the account book.

She stayed up for another two nights and carved four defensive jade talismans, which she gave to Aunt Lian, Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang respectively, and prepared one for Zhang Wanwan.

The enemy's identity is currently unknown, and she has limited energy, so she can only protect the important people first.

Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang both vaguely knew of her magical powers, and almost cried for joy when they received the jade talisman.

It turns out that they also have such an important position in Sixteenth Sister’s heart!

"Such a precious thing, I want to keep it as a family heirloom of our Mo family!"

Mo Qillang was overjoyed and wanted to study why the extremely complex lines and patterns of Taoist talismans could stir up the energy of heaven and earth and emit such tremendous power?

"Brother Mo Qi, this is just a disposable item, why do you need to worship it?"

"This is to save your life!" Jiang Li said helplessly, "The idea of ​​borrowing your life is just our guess. What if it's not true?"

"That man was able to take the life of the King of Qin's youngest son without anyone noticing. He might be able to take the lives of others as well!"

Jiang Li deeply hated herself for not having mastered her skills well enough. As the saying goes, "force can defeat skill." If her skills had improved, what would she be afraid of from demons, ghosts, and monsters?

"You are already very good." Xie Changan touched her head gently, "You are only fifteen years old in the cultivation world, but you are already an existence that we ordinary people can't even dream of."

Jiang Li felt relieved and said with a smile: "I am just a small shrimp in the world of cultivation."

Originally, she wanted to work with Xie Changan to reach the second level of the Divine Movement Body Refining Technique, but unfortunately, they were both busy and couldn't spare the time for the medicinal bath, so they had to put it aside until after the wedding.

Both the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and the Xie Mansion were decorating their new houses. When Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an went back together, they saw that both mansions were decorated with lights and colors. Everywhere they looked was a festive and lively red.

After the renovation, a corner gate was opened between the two mansions, basically merging the two mansions into one.

Aunt Lian and Uncle Zhou discussed it and decided to decorate new houses on both sides so that the two masters could live in whichever side they wanted in the future.

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Are you marrying me, or am I marrying you?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "As long as we are together, I don't mind being the wife of Marquis Jing'an."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jiang Li was amused and smiled, "Should I still ask for a title for you?"

"I wouldn't mind if I could get two salaries."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Then hurry up and ask for an imperial decree for me! Then I can receive three salaries, right?"

Xie Chang'an was a second-rank General Dingguo, and his wife was a second-rank Lady of Imperial Concubinehood, who also received a salary.

If Nangong Qinghe heard this, he would definitely be amused and confused. You two are just wishful thinking!

The two of them got off the carriage chatting and laughing. Under Aunt Lian's watchful eyes, Xie Changan had no choice but to return to the Xie Mansion.

In the next few days, Jiang Li received so many gifts that he was overwhelmed.

The rewards from the palace were carried into the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion like water, and there were also dowry gifts from Zhang Wanwan and Lu Meiyi, each one more generous than the other.

Jiang Li was very worried. Even though she had collected a lot now, she would have to pay it back in the future.

The royal family values ​​having many children and good fortune, so by the time the next generation of princes and princesses get married, she's afraid she'll go bankrupt from giving away so many gifts!

There were also gifts sent by princes, nobles, and officials of all ranks, which filled the front yards of Xie’s mansion and the marquis’ mansion.

Even the three sisters-in-law in the Jiang family sent her gifts to add to her dowry.

What Shen Muchun gave was a box of Dahuan Dan produced by Ghost Doctor Valley, each pill of which was worth a fortune.

Mo Qillang gave a whole box of exquisite jewelry, each of which contained a hidden weapon that could kill with one blow.

Jiang Li likes it very much. These are good things that will be useful in the future!
