Chapter 381: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (15)
Five days later, Duanmu Ci saw the renovation drawings sent by the Yan family. He felt a little numb. This was almost the same as tearing down and rebuilding.
Bai Ling said, "Our young lady said that it would take too long to tear it down and rebuild it, so let's just repair it."
Duanmu Ci nodded and grinned, "Your young lady has the final say."
Bai Ling bowed and left.
Qin Yu looked at the little maid who raised her head proudly. Why did he always have the urge to hit her?
"Your Majesty, they are too bullying. This is not a discussion, it's clearly a notification."
Duanmu Ci looked at Qin Yu. Whatever he wanted to say, it would be enough to just know it in his heart.
Another day passed, and more than 30 craftsmen came to the Prince's Mansion. The noise they made every day annoyed Duanmu Ci.
He wanted to go to the brothel to drink, but then he remembered the promise he had made to the woman, so he found a remote courtyard to live in.
After thinking that he should tell his mother about his marriage, he walked towards the backyard.
Princess Sheng's residence is located at the very back of the Prince's Mansion, and it is also the only place in the entire mansion that has not been repaired.
Duanmu Ci felt heartbroken as he looked at his mother kneeling in front of the futon and muttering to herself.
He called softly, "Mother."
Princess Sheng's body on the futon trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around with a smile on her lips: "Muzhi, you're here?"
Duanmu Ci took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Mother, I am getting married."
Princess Sheng frowned, "So fast?"
"Well, this time I wasn't sent by that person. I chose it myself."
Princess Sheng was stunned at first, then smiled knowingly, "My son has grown up, as long as you like it." After saying that, she knelt down again and continued to chant.
Duanmu Ci quietly gazed at his mother's back, knowing in his heart that his mother's heart had died with his father's death.
Half a month later, Yan Xue received an imperial decree, which unexpectedly granted her the title of Princess of a County, and also brought a betrothal gift from the Emperor.
She was very puzzled. How did Duanmu Ci do it? He actually asked the emperor to issue an order.
At this moment, Duanmu Ci was thinking smugly that the marriage granted by imperial decree could not be divorced, and he finally tricked that woman.
The people in the city also learned about the emperor's marriage, and many of them felt sorry for Miss Yan.
The Prince of Xiping was unlucky in marriage, but after all, the marriage was granted by imperial decree, so no one dared to speak out.
Another half month passed, and the clanging sounds in the Prince's Mansion disappeared.
Duanmu Ci finally moved out of the small courtyard. When he looked at the magnificent house, he almost couldn't recognize it. Was this his original palace?
He stepped into the main courtyard, but unexpectedly there were two maids guarding the door. They bowed to him and said, "Prince, this courtyard is to be used as the marriage room by the Princess.
You can't move in now, the yard next door has been cleaned up, you can move in there."
Duanmu Ci was simply shocked, how could his own home be so good? But after thinking about it, he nodded helplessly, "...Okay."
Ten days before the wedding, the largest hotel in Jiangzhou City, Yuelai Inn, officially opened.
This inn is quite large, with five floors in total. The first floor is for dining, the second and third floors are private rooms, and the fourth and fifth floors are guest rooms.
When you walk to the backyard of the inn, you will find a different world.
The backyard of the inn is as intricate as a maze, with a number of exquisite small courtyards closely connected.
Each courtyard is carefully decorated with rockery and flowing water, as if the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan gardens can be seen at a glance.
These small courtyards are designed into unique guest rooms with different styles, but without exception they all show the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
The room rates in each courtyard were quite expensive, with the cheapest one costing five taels of silver a night.
As the wedding date approached, the whole city of Jiang gradually became bustling.
After receiving the invitation, people from all walks of life in Jiangzhou began to rush to Jiangcheng one after another.
Whether it is generals in the army, officials from various places, or well-known merchants in various counties,
Even the martial arts heroes from various sects in the martial arts world, leaders of branch gangs, and leaders of gangs such as the Salt Gang and the Water Transport Gang all came as invited.
Yan Xue's second senior brother invited all those who were eligible to receive the invitation one by one to make sure that no one was left out.
The one given by Duanmu Ci was made by him personally.
Pei Yong was responsible for issuing all the posts on Yan Xue's side. After all, Yan Shoushan had been the leader of the martial arts world for more than 20 years.
The connections she has accumulated are unimaginable. The marriage of her only daughter has caused a stir in the entire world.
Especially those who had been helped by Alliance Leader Yan, all rushed over.
Even several village chiefs came to express their congratulations in person, and the whole Jiangcheng was filled with people.
Duanmu Ci was in the Prince's Mansion and heard about the excitement outside, but he seldom went out.
He always felt that he was marrying a daughter-in-law instead of marrying his own wife. He heard that the whole wedding was very expensive, but he didn't spend a penny. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend.
Instead, he had finally scraped together five thousand taels of silver and asked Qin Yu to deliver it, but the woman actually said that it was not even a fraction and refused to take it.
There were too many people coming to Jiangcheng this time, and many inns were not prepared in advance.
Yuelai Inn just made up for the problem of insufficient rooms.
Anyone who enters the city with an invitation can stay on the fourth and fifth floors of the inn for free.
An Huaitang was afraid that there would not be enough space to live in, so he prepared several courtyards in advance.
However, after seeing the luxurious courtyard in the backyard of Yuelai Inn, many people would rather live in the backyard.
Everyone is not short of money, so the price of backyards is rising steadily.
The eight best courtyards had accommodation fees of up to 20 taels per day, but demand still outstripped supply.
Most of these people are reluctant to go out, and they stay in their own small courtyards. Every day, waiters are responsible for taking orders for food at their doorsteps, and they live a pretty carefree life.
Three days before the wedding, the largest auction in Jiangzhou began. An Huaitang had already sent out invitations to heroes ten days ago.
The auction includes not only various hidden weapons, but also weapons from previous dynasties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Of course, the most coveted thing is Pei Yuan Dan,
After all, the effectiveness of Peiyuan Pill is unquestionable, but the price of one pill at the last auction was one thousand and two taels of silver, and the key is that there is no demand for it.
In fact, Yan Xue has refined a lot of pills during this period. This Peiyuan Pill is indeed simple. She can now achieve a 100% success rate.
However, things are valuable because they are rare, so she refined a lot of other elixirs.
The marrow cleansing pill can expel old toxins from the body, cleanse the essence, open up the meridians, get rid of the old and bring in the new, and be reborn.
Yufudan can make women's skin return to the best in their twenties, but it requires one pill to be taken every month.
As soon as these two kinds of elixirs came out at the auction, they were immediately sold out.
The next day, An Huaitang began to think about his little abacus.
When Yan Xue arrived, she saw Second Senior Brother calculating the accounts without even raising his head. She was not in a hurry and sat aside to drink tea leisurely.
After waiting for half an hour, I saw the second brother put down the account book in his hand with satisfaction.
Yan Xue looked at Second Senior Brother's satisfied expression and knew that he must have made a lot of money. "Second Senior Brother, how was the auction yesterday?"
