Chapter 1112 Millennium Ginseng (3)
It seems that tonight will be another all-nighter...
However, her worries were unnecessary. When the man came out of the bathroom in high spirits, Caiwei's period came unexpectedly!
Maybe it was because she was nervous about her wedding, or maybe it was because she was too exhausted last night. In short, this time her period came seven or eight days earlier. Nangong Yi's face turned green when he heard the news. He looked at Caiwei with gritted teeth, wishing he could drive her period back.
Caiwei had never welcomed this relative like this before. Her dear aunt was here, and she didn't have to worry about being tortured to death by that beast tonight...
At night, Nangong Yi was very depressed. It was fine that he didn't know the taste of family happiness before, but now that he had started eating meat and tasted the taste of meat, he could only watch it but couldn't eat it. This torture was even more painful than being hungry and injured. He sighed and tossed and turned on the couch for most of the night. He took two cold showers and fell asleep gradually because he was tired...
The next day
It was the third day since Caiwei got married. According to the customs of Dajin, it was the day when the husband's family checked the dowry of the new daughter-in-law, which was called the "unboxing ceremony".
As the queen, Caiwei's dowry was all arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the money was paid from the national treasury. Logically, it should not be inspected. But early in the morning, Chen Shangxi, the chief steward of Yukun Palace, came over to pass on the message that the queen mother would bring all the concubines, princesses and princesses to inspect the queen's dowry.
Nangong Yi frowned unhappily after hearing this and said, "The dowries of the empresses of the dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty were all prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What's there to check? If the queen mother likes to see gold and silver treasures, let Meng Huaian take her to the treasury to have a good look!"
Chen Shangxi said, "Your Majesty, although the dowries of the empresses of the dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty were all prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, each queen would bring some extra dowries prepared by her family when she married. When our queen mother married the emperor, the great empress dowager checked the dowry of the queen mother, and the dowry of the former queen mother was also checked by our great empress dowager, so, hehe..."
Caiwei had woken up at this moment and was lying on the couch to be lazy. When she heard that the queen mother wanted to check her dowry, she naturally understood what was going on.
The queen mother must have thought that Caiwei was just the daughter of a small merchant and could not produce anything decent as a dowry. She wanted to humiliate her through the unboxing gift to dispel her arrogance.
Fortunately, she knew that the Queen Mother was not satisfied with her background and expected that she would use the dowry check to intimidate her, so when she was at her parents' home, she had already prepared her dowry properly. There were countless treasures in her space. If she took out a few of them as dowry, it would definitely be an unprecedented dowry in the history of the Great Jin Kingdom.
It was not that she wanted to show off, nor was she a high-profile person. It was just because the Queen Mother looked down on her background and often humiliated her with words like "shepherds picking up cow dung". She had to give her an eye for an eye and teach her a lesson to let her know what real wealth and prosperity meant!
Outside, Nangong Yi was telling Chen Shangxi to leave and not to mention the dowry check again, but Caiwei had already come out.
She was wearing pink underwear and panties, with a simple bun on her head. After she came out, she said to Nangong Yi: "Since there are such rules in the palace, how can I break the rules here?" After that, she turned to Chen Shangxi and said: "Please go back and report to my mother. My dowry is ready and I am waiting for my mother and the concubines to come at any time." "Yes, I will go back and report it!" Chen Shangxi left, and Nangong Yi said helplessly: "I have just rejected them. My mother is always picky and difficult to answer. Why should you agree?"
