Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 298
Chapter 298 World-shaking Betrothal Gift
The two doors slowly opened. When the people waiting outside saw this, they immediately rushed forward and congratulated Madam Lan who had walked out of the door.
Matchmaker Luo touched her hair bun and looked at her clothes. She smiled and walked forward, pushing the crowd aside. She kept scolding, “Get out of the way …”
With great difficulty, Matchmaker Luo pushed out a path and walked to Madam Lan’s side with a faint smile on the corner of her lips. “Madam Lan, I have come to congratulate you first. Today, I brought the betrothal gift from the Yun Clan to the Lan Clan. Please accept it.”
Madam Lan’s gaze crossed the crowd and looked at the scene not far away. Every two servants would carry a large red box. Just the box was made of high-quality wood, and it was shocking to look at.
Madam Lan calmed herself down and unconsciously swept through all the onlookers. When she saw that there were many carriages following her, her heart became even more depressed.
It would have been great if her daughter had such an extravagance when she accepted the betrothal gift, but this extravagance was actually due to the unfavored Lan Shuya from the concubine. It was truly distressing. She had a cold expression and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Joy and joy together, but isn’t this betrothal gift a little too much?”
Matchmaker Luo immediately smiled and said, “The Yun Clan is an imperial merchant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They are wealthy and generous, so they gave more betrothal gifts. Anyway, these betrothal gifts are all for Second Young Lady. Just by looking at the betrothal gifts from the Yun Clan, you can see how much importance the Yun Clan attaches to their marriage with Second Young Lady. In the future, Second Young Lady of the Yun Clan will definitely enjoy endless glory.”
Madam Lan listened to Matchmaker Luo’s quick mouth and kept talking, causing her heart to feel sullen.
How many betrothal gifts did the Yun Clan give? The Lan Clan had to pay them back. Now that they were everywhere praising the Yun Clan’s generosity, weren’t they implying that the Lan Clan was stingy?
However, now that so many people were present, even if she was sullen, she could not vent her anger. Otherwise, she would be laughed at by the people all over the capital.
Although she wanted to embarrass Lan Shuya at such a good time, she could only endure her anger for the sake of the Lan Clan’s face.
“Being able to be in-laws with a family like Yun Clan is also a blessing for our Lan Clan. Bring in these betrothal gifts.” His expression was pleasant to hear. As for how he could mend his mind in his heart, no one knew.
The Yun Clan was an imperial merchant, and their entire body smelled of bronze. What could they do even if they had a lot of silver? At that time, wouldn’t he be the laughingstock of the capital?
Although she was tempted to see so many betrothal gifts, she just didn’t want Lan Shuya to feel better.
Matchmaker Luo hurriedly approached Madam Lan and said with a fawning expression, “Speaking of today’s matter, everyone in the capital knows that my old body has come to deliver betrothal gifts to the Lan Manor on behalf of Yun Clan. These people are curious about what is worth 60,000 taels of silver, so they want to see if Madam Lan should open all these betrothal gifts boxes?” And let everyone experience it? ”
Up until now, Matchmaker Luo thought about how she saw the silver and couldn’t help but feel strange. However, Matchmaker Luo still knew what kind of silver could be taken and what kind of silver couldn’t be taken.
As soon as Matchmaker Luo’s words came out, many people followed suit. They were all very curious about the betrothal gift from the Yun Clan.
When Madam Lan saw this, she turned her head to look at the big boxes again. Originally, according to the rules, these items had to be carried into the manor and properly checked. But now, it was good. Since so many people had to come before the betrothal gift could be given, Madam Lan could not refute the face of the people in the capital.
Moreover, she remembered what she had heard about the Yun Clan and the Shen Clan. If their clan also received a pile of sand and stones, then they would give Lan Shuya tens of thousands of taels of silver as dowry. That would be the real mute eating coptis.
Since everyone wanted to open it, then let’s see, inspect the goods on the spot. If it’s wrong, don’t expect their Lan Clan to marry them.
Therefore, Madam Lan said in an indifferent voice, “Since that’s the case, then let everyone enjoy it.”
Matchmaker Luo also had this intention. Even if she instructed everyone from the Yun Clan to form a line and then invited the people from the Lan Clan to maintain order, she was afraid that the people would learn to be in chaos, so she would definitely split it up into a single wave to open it.
After everyone took their seats, Matchmaker Luo twisted her waist and said, “Madam Lan, I’m not praising you. Come and take a look first. These are the eight desserts the Yun Clan offered first. Madam, please have a good taste.”
After she finished speaking, she saw eight guards open four large boxes, each containing two “snacks.”
This dessert was too exquisite, attracting countless people to visit.
Eight guards stepped forward, each holding a snack in their hands.
Matchmaker Luo stepped forward and introduced, “This is osmanthus cake, this is mung bean cake, this is corn cake, this is fish play lotus leaf room …”
Following Matchmaker Luo’s words, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but turn straight.
The osmanthus cake was translucent and translucent. Each piece of cake emitted a sparkling white light. It was carved from fine Hetian jade.
The green green bean cake was faintly white. The sunlight shone on it, reflecting a dazzling light. It was made of fine jade jade.
As for the corn cake, it was carved out of fine stones. It was translucent and sparkling, causing people to feel that they couldn’t let go of it when they saw it.
There was also the fish play lotus leaf. The azure stone was carefully carved into several lotus leaves. The patterns on each lotus leaf were clear and exquisite. A small golden fish was carved by the original stone and hidden beneath the lotus leaf. There were two faint fish playing on the lotus leaf. The fish eyes were inlaid with black longan as if they were real.
…
Everyone was amazed at the food beside Matchmaker Luo. Everything was extremely exquisite, and it was something that people couldn’t let go of. Just these so-called “food” would cost 5,000 to 6,000 silver taels to buy.
And this was only the beginning!
This time, seeing these “eating” commoners and onlookers, they became even more curious about what was behind them.
Matchmaker Luo stared straight at everyone. Even Madam Lan’s eyes were filled with shock.
Matchmaker Luo was proud and unconsciously straightened her back. If not for the fact that she had seen these things long ago, she would probably have reacted the same way as these people.
She chuckled and looked at Madam Lan, who was still in a daze. She smiled and said, “Madam Lan, I wonder if you are satisfied with these foods?”
Madam Lan couldn’t help but nod her head. This food was really too painstaking and exquisite, making people wish they could take it all for themselves.
Madam Lan stared at the crowd and saw that everyone’s eyes were filled with a fiery aura. Even if she laughed out loud, these things would belong to the Lan Family in the future.
Even if someone was jealous, they couldn’t do anything to the Lan Clan.
Immediately, Madam Lan smiled and said, “Satisfied, satisfied, the butler hurry up and accept it!”
This time, the Lan Clan would probably become famous in the capital because of these betrothal gifts.
Matchmaker Luo covered her mouth and chuckled. She also helped to pack these items again and let someone carry them into the Lan Family.
An hour later, they finally finished checking everything. However, everyone was still dazzled, and their expressions were slightly infatuated.
The Yun Clan had so many treasures that it was as if they had given a family to the Lan Clan!
The Yun Clan looked down on the second young lady of the Lan Clan too much.
When Matchmaker Luo saw that everything was carried into the Blue Manor, she immediately angrily berated the person who embarrassed her before, “Haha, now, you guys finally believe what I said, right?” The Yun Clan was wealthy, would they care about such a small betrothal gift? Since you don’t care about these betrothal gifts anymore? Would he care about the dowry of the Yun Clan’s Third Aunt? Isn’t that funny? “This Shen Clan is truly unlucky to be a clan of a Third Grade Great Official. They were actually able to do something that was accompanied by Greed and framed against the Yun Clan.”
If it weren’t for the shocking scene just now, many people would have thought that the Yun Clan didn’t marry the Yun Clan’s third aunt. However, today’s scene was too shocking.
Look at the Yun Clan. With so many betrothal gifts, how could they be lacking in dowry? Therefore, the Yun Clan’s third aunt’s dowry was done by the Shen Clan themselves, and they wanted to frame the Yun Clan.
Being in-laws with such a person, he didn’t know whether the Yun Clan should cry or laugh.
With such a move, no one dared to say that the Yun Clan was wrong.
In a carriage not far away, when Yun Xiao saw this scene, the smile on her lips slowly rose. Today’s goal had indeed been achieved. If what she had expected was not bad, she was afraid that Yun Yao would cause the Shen Clan to bleed heavily this time.
Seeing that everyone was talking about the Yun Clan, Chun Lan’s face was filled with excitement. She wished she could clap her hands and cheer up. “Miss, this move is really good. Let’s see who else dares to say that our Yun Clan is wrong this time!”
Yun Xiao had a faint look of joy on her face. “It’s good that you can prove the innocence of our Yun Clan.” Of course, Yun Xiao didn’t want to say anything about this innocence. In any case, the number of people who knew about the dowry definitely didn’t exceed the number of top leaders.
In addition, Yun Yao would probably continue to act soon in order to sleep through the night. Thinking about it, now that the Yun Clan had sent someone to bring Yun Yao back, the Shen Clan would really be in a mess.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s eyes carried a hint of joy, “Go to the door of Shen Manor.”
All the carriages had finished watching the liveliness and were about to leave. However, when the carriages were about to leave, it was a little crowded. Yun Xiao hadn’t left this chaotic area yet.
At this moment, a cold breath sounded not far away. Yun Xiao opened the curtain of the car and looked outside. She saw Lan Shuya standing in front of the door of the Blue Manor wearing a sky-blue skirt. However, Lan Shuya’s face was filled with fear and her hands were constantly covering her face.
Then came a few loud laughs.
It turned out that Lan Shuya and Madam Lan had broken up at home again, so Lan Shuya wanted to reveal the true face of the Lan Manor. Who knew that before she could say anything, Mu Li’s face suddenly opened and fell from her face, revealing a frightening expression.
Everyone had only heard of Lan Shuya’s reputation. They only knew that she was the number one beauty in the past. When Lan Shuya went shopping on the streets, they could occasionally meet her and see her demeanor.
Now that the title of the number one beauty had been replaced by the number one ugly woman, no one had ever seen her before, so this was the first time they had seen Lan Shuya’s ugly face, and they were all stunned.
Everyone felt that the Yun Clan had suffered a huge loss this time when they saw that face that made them lose their appetite. They had spent so much money on betrothal gifts just to marry such an ugly monster, and they couldn’t help but sigh.
Chun Lan and Yun Xiao also looked outside. Although they were far away, Lan Shuya’s figure could still be clearly seen. “Young lady, why didn’t the second young lady of the Lan Clan embroider a wedding dress at home? Why did she run out? This daughter’s family is going to get married, so she can’t run around anymore.”
“Don’t worry, she’s still free. Her legs are on her. It doesn’t matter how she tries to run.” Of course, Yun Xiao was certain that no matter what Lan Shuya wanted to do, she would ultimately be responsible for her own actions. Why would she bother about him?
“Alright, let’s see if the carriage is unblocked. Let’s go to the entrance of the Shen mansion after the liveliness here is over.”
When Chun Lan heard this, she couldn’t conceal the smile on her face. “This servant will hurry up now!”
