The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

The two men were not complete idiots and both knew the importance of this matter. Jing'an Hou immediately said to Ouyang Yu, "Warrior, where are all the food and fodder now? Is it safe?"

"Sir, the food and fodder are in a manor outside the city. They are very safe. Please rest assured. But when do you plan to send someone to take over?" Ouyang Yu asked directly.

He didn't want to live in fear every day. Such a large amount of military rations in his hands was no joke. He would hand it over as soon as possible and live a peaceful life.

"Brave man, if it's convenient now, can we go over and take over now?"

Marquis Jing'an didn't want to wait any longer. The people in the military camp were still waiting for the food to be cooked, so why should he be so reserved?

After hearing this, Ouyang Yu felt much better. "If it's convenient for you, I can come anytime, anywhere."

Marquis Jing'an gave direct orders and sent someone to follow Ouyang Yu to the manor outside the city to hand over the food and fodder.

Marquis Jing'an is Prince Yu's father-in-law. He now knows that Prince Yu is already a member of Prince An's camp. In recent days, Marquis Jing'an has also come to understand that although Prince An seems to be unkind, he actually treats people with sincerity and respect.

Even if he was just a military officer, he always treated him equally. Marquis Jing'an now had one foot on the edge of Prince An's giant wheel, so he discussed everything with Prince An.

Now that the military rations had arrived, he directly handed over all the matters here to Prince An, and took Gu Jingyi with him to personally receive the food and fodder.

After the two left, Gu Chang'an couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't even know before that Qin Wenlan would send out such a large amount of food and so much silver at once.

How did she manage to run all those businesses? She didn't seek fame or fortune, only caring about the soldiers on the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom. I'm afraid she even threw her own safety aside.

He had to think of a good way to try not to make her too conspicuous. Fortunately, she didn't seek fame or fortune, so it was less of a worry, as long as they kept it a secret.

The people in the capital will not know about these things. Anyway, the soldiers in the northern border have been suffering from hunger over the years. Now, whether there are more or less people, none of the officials in the capital have the time to take care of these things.

In fact, Gu Changan's worries were really unnecessary. Qin Wenlan didn't care what others thought. All she wanted was for the soldiers and horses to be able to survive the long winter safely.

If she knew that the soldiers and horses from the Northern Frontier came here like this every year, she would probably have to ask the Master of Xiaoyao Pavilion to come to the Northern Frontier from time to time to deliver food and fodder.

It's all about doing good deeds anyway. If she can truly help the soldiers who are defending the country of Daxia, how could she be unwilling?

Besides, her money is not entirely her own, so why not use it to do such a great good? It is really something she could have wished for!

——

No matter what happens in the northern border, Qin Wenlan in the capital will not ignore normal etiquette just because of Gu Changan's absence.

This day happened to be the day for paying the betrothal gift, and everyone in the Qin Hou Mansion was ready. However, the main person, Qin Wenlan, of course could not show up. All the rituals were to be handled by Qin Zhaoshi and Qin Jiawang.

After all, Yu was ill again, so how could she go out to see people? Of course, even if Yu was fine, Qin Wenlan had plenty of ways to prevent her from going out.

But Yu was so angry that she hid in the lemon yard and smashed a lot of things, cursing while smashing, which scared the maids and old women so much that they all ran away.

Yu is the root of trouble in the family. She is very good at stealing money and killing people. In the final analysis, it is all because of Yu's stupidity and poverty.

Of course, there were also reasons related to Qin Wenlan's own past life. Qin Wenlan himself was as stupid as a pig, so he fell into Yu's trap. In this life, Yu could only wait to be tortured to death.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were ordered to go to the house and carry boxes of betrothal gifts into the Qin Marquis Mansion. The crowd outside who were watching the fun surrounded the mansion, firecrackers were set off, and the atmosphere was full of joy and festive mood.

On one hand, the royal family sends the betrothal gifts, and on the other hand, the marquis's mansion receives the betrothal gifts. How could it not be more lively than that of an ordinary family?

Several girls from the Qin Hou Mansion also hid in one place to watch the fun.

Qin Jinyu came back and reported to Qin Wenlan, "Big sister, those betrothal gift boxes have filled up the courtyard of our mansion. It's really magnificent."

Qin Wenlan laughed, "Don't you see that this is a royal wedding? How can it be compared with ordinary families? If the betrothal gifts are too little, wouldn't it make the world laugh at us?"

Qin Jinyu laughed when she heard this, "That's true, big sister is so majestic today, our Marquis Qin's Mansion finally got a chance to shine.

It no longer feels like the time when Qin Shu got married. After all, there is a difference between a concubine and a princess!

Hehe~"

After hearing this, Qin Wenlan looked at Qin Jinyu and said, "The amount of betrothal gifts is indeed glorious, but a person's marriage is not based on these things. Meeting a true lover is the most important thing in a woman's life.

Of course, money is also of paramount importance. After all, a poor couple has many worries, and life without money is impossible.

In any case, you must not marry those poor people. Although they are poor, they still have the same temper and bad habits. Not only are their vision narrow, but they are also very petty.

They often only see the small space in front of them. The smaller their vision, the more trouble they will have.

Although there are also irresponsible men in wealthy families, men from wealthy families are always more knowledgeable than those from poor families.

The higher a person's vision is, the more open his heart will be, and he will have fewer trivial matters.

Of course, there are also men in wealthy families who are all show and no substance. Anyway, things cannot be generalized. In short, for a woman, getting married is like being reborn a second time.

The first time we had no choice, because we were reborn with our eyes closed, so we had to accept it regardless of whether it was good or bad.

As for marrying, we all do it with our eyes open, so how can we make blind choices like reincarnation..." Qin Wenlan looked at Qin Jinyu and said seriously.

She didn't want Qin Jinyu to live the same life as in her previous life in this life.

The Qinhou Mansion was bustling all day long, and today Qin Wenlan's businesses were closed for a day because she wanted everyone to share in the good cheer.

After the betrothal gifts have been given, the next step is to set a date. In fact, the wedding date has been set long ago, it is just a necessary procedure.

Prince An is not in the capital now, so the request for a date will need to be postponed for some time.
