Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2077

Shi Chengxuan stood on the long street, looking at the carriages coming and going, and suddenly an indescribable bitterness surged in his heart.

Yes, how could he feel embarrassed? Even the eight-year-old Shu'er had carefully prepared a gift for her sister who married far away to celebrate her coronation, but he, as a father, couldn't even come up with a decent gift.

He recalled the scene a few years ago when An Xia and Cen Yuan got hastily married during the mourning period.

At that time, Tang Chujun was responsible for all the dowry, which helped her to maintain the reputation of being the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion. As a father, he even argued that "the mourning period should be simple and not ostentatious", and even refused to add to the dowry.

Later, Tang Chujun fought with him and finally managed to get a few crappy farms and shops from him. Those businesses were either located in remote areas or suffered losses every year, and even he himself looked down on them.

He has always been very stingy with his children, just like a miser who never gives a penny.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" The sudden voice behind him brought him back to his senses.

He turned around and saw Chang Wu's face that seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said unhappily, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart."

Chang Wu rubbed his hands and said carefully, "Actually, is the princess short of dowry? Of course she is not short of it. Do you know how many boxes of things each of the four imperial merchants sent?"

To be honest, Shi Chengxuan didn't want to listen, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but want to know how many good things his daughter had got now.

Chang Wu knows them all like the back of his hand.

The precious porcelain sent by the Shi and Wei families filled up twenty loads. The porcelain, which was hard to come by for the royal families of various countries, was piled up in Shi Anxia's dowry.

In addition to the twelve boxes of precious tea, the Ming family also added eight boxes of rubies and sapphires, all of which were rare items collected from various places.

There was a large box of pigeon blood-red gems that could reflect the sun's rays.

Not only did the Gu family buy up all the extremely scarce silk fabrics such as Floating Light Brocade and Cloud Mist Silk and send them to the young master's residence, they also specially brought ten pieces of golden camel hair from outside the region, which was as light and soft as clouds.

I heard that with this material, one piece can be exchanged for a three-story house.

The Sheng family’s twelve boxes of South China Sea pearls are all as big as longan.

Officials from all over the country said that the gift list alone was a long one, including the mutton-fat jade carvings from Yongle County, the gold brocade from Yunzhou, the agarwood utensils from Guangnan, and so on.

Chang Wu boasted with great pride, "That's not all. The palaces of the several great dukes, marquises, and viscounts in the capital... in short, anyone who is related to me, whether they have any contact with me or not, can all be given gifts. They have dug out all their treasures, all to build momentum for the princess."

"Oh, yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Duan'an jointly bestowed twelve sets of phoenix coronas and bridal robes, each set was inlaid with priceless pearls; the Emperor Retired even took out all the calligraphy and paintings from the previous dynasties in his private storehouse, such as "Imperial Wind Painting" and "Night Banquet in Chongshi", which are all priceless treasures! It is said that the Emperor Retired also said during the court that his daughter's marriage was glorious, and he, as a father, also had face."

Shi Chengxuan's face was extremely ugly. Father! His biological father is not dead yet!

He took his anger out on Chang Wu, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have been prepared."

Chang Wu: “…”

What can you prepare? Don't you have any idea? We are now living under someone else's roof, okay?

Although he was complaining in his heart, he still had to reply respectfully on the surface, "The princess has issued an order, saying that during your confinement, you are not allowed to know anything about the outside world."

I'm also feeling very uncomfortable!

He remembered, "The princess also said that as long as you don't cause trouble, you will give her the best dowry."

Shi Chengxuan: “…”
