Indeed, although the Qi family has more than enough to live now, compared to the past, it is a world of difference. It takes a lot of money to buy a dowry, and in her parents' eyes, it is absolutely impossible for her to come up with inferior goods. But if all the top grades are used, the quantity will appear shabby.

Qi Surong took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door: "Father, mother, can my daughter come in?"

There was silence for a while, and then the door opened, and Mother Qi let her in.

Qi Surong put the tray on the table and said with a smile, "Dad and mother, come and drink ginseng soup?"

While speaking, her eyes fell on the boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

"You came just in time, look at these jewelry, do you like it?" Mother Qi pulled Qi Surong to the side and asked.

On the couch, there are neatly placed silver-edged tins with double happiness, Fuman hairpins, agarwood chaozhu in a plate, two wish-fulfilling crowns, four-point red gold and silk inlaid beads and stone belts, a pair of long jade hairpins, and a pair of white jade. Long hairpins, a pair of golden phoenix with wings and beaded hairpins, a pair of silver gilded phoenix hairpins, a pair of red gold chisel bracelets, two pairs of jade rings, two pairs of white jade rings, etc. There are more than 50 pieces. It is estimated that the price of these objects is no less than four thousand taels.

According to the original specifications of Qi Mansion, the dowry must be made up to 888 pieces. In comparison, these are indeed shabby. It is no wonder that the parents did not tell her in advance.

Qi Surong stretched out her hand and stroked these jewelry one by one. She was rich and noble in the past, but she never thought they were so precious. Each one showed the care of her parents for her.

Her eyes were a little sour, Qi Surong held her mother's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Mother, thank you, I like it very much."

"You don't need to comfort your mother, how can you look at these jewelry? You can't marry you in a beautiful way, it's useless for your mother." Qi Mu's expression was dim.

"Mother, you have done enough for your daughter." Qi Surong said warmly, "In the past, your daughter was ignorant, which made you worry a lot. In the future, you and your father don't have to work too hard. Let your daughter handle the dowry by herself. ?"

"Are you talking nonsense again?" Mother Qi comforted her heart and scolded with a smile, "How can a woman prepare a dowry for herself?"

Qi Surong smiled, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said, "Okay, I will give my mother all the money for my private house, and she will help me."

"Your private money?" Mother Qi shook her head and said, "You should keep it for future use."

Qi Shuo and his wife didn't believe how much private money Qi Surong could have.

"Don't underestimate your daughter." Qi Surong raised her chin and said, "My daughter can spend tens of thousands of taels if you say less."

The couple looked at her in amazement at the same time. Father Qi frowned and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Father and mother, do you know why I am willing to marry Gu Jinyun?"

"It's not because of him..." Mother Qi lowered her face.

Qi Surong said quickly: "No. My daughter once got a few brewing recipes by accident, and asked Gu Jinyun to brew it on her behalf. The money earned is divided into 27%."

"You actually trust him so credibly?" Father Qi said solemnly, "Aren't you afraid that he won't accept the account?" He didn't even doubt where she got the formula. Things are not difficult.

Qi Surong smiled and said, "It's not a loss to see a person's character with a few recipes."

"Because he keeps his word, that's why you decided to marry him?" Mother Qi said.

"This is one of the reasons." Qi Surong said calmly, "Father, mother, when the Qi family was in trouble, did Jin Yun's kindness to the Qi family ever waver? Who was it when her daughter was being plotted against? Running around for his daughter? When he was beaten by his father as a shameless person, did he ever justify his actions? Did he ever say a word of complaint? Father, mother, what kind of person is he? Chu. No matter what his status is, his daughter is willing to marry him."

☆、Chapter 64 Communication Barriers

Just when the Qi family was busy preparing for the dowry, Qi Surong received the news that Luo Yanyi was engaged. The person with whom she was engaged was unexpectedly the Eighth Prince in a place of suspicion. The previous marriage between Luo Yanyi and Xiaohou Ye ended without a hitch under her intervention. Unexpectedly, she chose the Eighth Prince again, or the Eighth Prince chose her.

The emperor's suppression of the Eighth Prince, the ministers in the court may not have seen the deep meaning. If the Eighth Prince wants to keep his position, he must increase foreign aid. The Luo family is undoubtedly a great help. Father Luo was the official minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was the second-rank official worshiper, and he was quite influential in the court. When the Eighth Prince married the daughter of the Luo family, it was equivalent to tying the Luo family to his boat.

In the last life, Luo Yanyi married Xiaohou Ye. Although she was not favored, she indirectly helped the Luo family avoid the disaster of imperial power. The Houfu escorted him all the way until the new emperor ascended the throne. Now that history has been completely tampered with, the Luo family has not only lost their support, but is also caught in a whirlpool.

Qi Surong didn't know whether to gloat or sympathize.

Immediately, Qi Surong thought of Feng Zhan again. Now Feng Zhan and Liu Qianer are engaged, and the Liu family and the Luo family have always been on good terms, and their interests coexist. It is difficult to say that the Liu family will not favor the Eighth Prince because of the Luo family. They only knew that the emperor and the Eighth Prince were brothers who had a harmonious relationship, but they didn't know that the emperor had murdered the Eighth Prince. Their closeness will make the emperor suspect that they are also the holders of the secret decree. Liu Qian'er's father was Taiwei, who was in charge of the national military and could directly threaten the emperor's throne. If several major forces in the DPRK unite and publish a secret decree, asking the emperor to take the throne. Who will kill the deer is unknown.

Qi Surong cannot control everyone's fate, but to Feng Zhan, she always has a bit of apology in her heart and doesn't want him to be implicated. But the future has changed, and Qi Surong can no longer rely on the prophets of the previous life to deal with the changes in this life.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Surong felt that there were only two choices at present. One was to destroy the marriage between Luo Yanyi and the Eighth Prince, and the other was to destroy the marriage between Feng Zhan and Liu Qianer. Either way, it's not easy to do. The last time between Luo Yanyi and Xiaohou Ye was purely coincidental, and this time there were no conditions for her to take advantage of.

"Alas..." Qi Surong sighed as she looked at the half-embroidered wedding dress on her hand.
