Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 492

If she buys another one, she'll be in debt!

The staff in the glass building finally realized what was happening and were utterly impressed by Shen Lingjun.

She sold something that originally cost a little over a thousand taels for nearly twenty thousand taels – a tenfold profit!

Shen Lingjun smiled and instructed, "Pack the things carefully and send them to the Prince of Jin's residence. It's worth 20,000 taels of silver, so don't make any mistakes."

It's a pity that Princess De'an is about to marry into the Western Qi Kingdom; otherwise, she would have warmly welcomed any number of such foolish customers who dared to go against her!

......

Princess De'an returned to the Prince of Jin's residence, and that afternoon, several glass items she had bought at the Glass Building were delivered, neatly packaged.

But at this moment, Princess De'an became angrier and angrier, her heart bleeding.

Oh my god, I feel so sorry for her!

Nearly 20,000 taels of silver! That could have bought so much stuff!

At this moment, she overheard the servants in the Prince of Jin's residence gossiping:

"I heard that the Mo family is also going to send betrothal gifts to the Yongning Marquis's family tomorrow!"

"A eunuch marrying a widow, this is truly the first time in the world!"

Princess De'an scoffed dismissively, not taking it to heart.

She and Shen Lingjun started preparing for their two marriages around the same time, so she couldn't help but compare them.

However, after seeing the betrothal gifts sent by the Western Qi delegation yesterday, she felt completely at ease.

Shen Lingjun's marriage is definitely inferior to hers in every way.

Her marriage to Xiqi was a grand and solemn union between two nations, while Shen Lingjun was merely a widow remarrying; her marriage was celebrated by all, while Shen Lingjun's marriage was met with much gossip; she married into Xiqi to enjoy happiness with her beloved, while Shen Lingjun's marriage to Mo Chonggui was like jumping into a fire pit.

Princess De'an felt much better after thinking about this.

The next morning, Princess De'an, accompanied by a maid and carrying the little money she had left, was about to go out again.

As soon as I entered the gate of the Prince of Jin's mansion, I heard a commotion outside, as if it were full of people. The sounds of string and bamboo instruments and drums filled the air, along with bursts of cheers.

Many servants of the Prince of Jin's mansion gathered at the entrance, crowding together to watch the excitement outside.

Princess De'an walked over and said unhappily, "What are you all doing crowding here?"

The servants turned around and quickly bowed to her: "Princess, the delegation outside is from the Mo family, representing the Yongning Marquis's family in marriage. We just wanted to take a look..."

Princess De'an frowned: "Why is the betrothal procession making such a big fuss? Besides, the Mo family is sending betrothal gifts to the Yongning Marquis's family, so why are they coming to our Prince Jin's mansion?"

A gatekeeper replied, "Your Highness, the queue is just too long. It stretches out two streets and then comes right up to us..."

Princess De'an's face darkened, and she strode out the door to take a look, only to be shocked as well.

On the street outside the Prince of Jin's mansion, a long line stretched from one side to the other, with no end in sight. Four people carried huge boxes in a group, and there were at least several hundred of them.

The streets were lined with people. In the betrothal procession, every now and then a young eunuch dressed in festive attire would carry a bamboo basket filled with large amounts of copper coins, grabbing handfuls of coins and scattering them into the crowd.

Wherever they went, everyone went on a frenzy to grab the loot, and cheers and applause filled the air.

Princess De'an looked on in disbelief.

Mo Chonggui, a eunuch, made such a big fuss about marrying a widow.

These numerous trunks and baskets are several times more than the betrothal gifts given to her by the Western Qi delegation!

No, this is definitely just for show. There's nothing good inside these boxes; it's just for appearances, to make them look impressive!

Princess De'an didn't even bother to go shopping; she took her maid and went straight to the Yongning Marquis's residence!
