I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 201: Should I keep everything His Highness sent?

"........."

What should he do if he felt that what Huaer said was right? But he couldn't tell the adults about this!

He could only bring the gift list back to the adults to see what others had given so that the adults could have a reference and not give the same gift.

But he is my ex-husband, and giving gifts is a technical job. We had such a bad relationship before, and if the gift is not good, people will talk about me behind my back.

The gift was too good, and he was afraid that Princess Changping would go crazy. Now the Cheng Mansion has become the Shangshu Mansion, and although the master has been promoted repeatedly in recent years, the salary is still not enough to support the young master and the young lady.

In the past, this family was entirely supported by the lady's dowry. The lady worked hard and put a lot of thought into the official career of the master. After she left, she took all the dowry with her.

Originally, part of it was reserved for the young ladies and young masters, but they looked down on it and returned it, intent on pleasing Princess Changping. However, Princess Changping was not going to treat them sincerely and sent them away with just a little bit of the stuff.

My lord, you have no one to rely on. Your former clansmen turned out to be vampires and they have long since cut off contact with you. Now the mansion is supported by Princess Changping's dowry. The princess is extravagant and it is hard to say how long it will take for all the money to be squandered in the future.

There's no point in thinking so much. The adults are not worried. It's just that the gift list now, oh! It seems that I have to ask Princess Changping for a presentable gift.

"She's getting married... to whom?"

Cheng Rui was in a trance for a moment, his hand paused, and the ink on the tip of the pen dripped onto the white sleeves, staining them...

"You also know him, sir. He is Zhou Huaizhi, the son of the Zhou family. He is a juren and the son of Zhou Fan, the former richest man in Lincheng. Now this Zhou has inherited the family business and is said to be doing even better in business.

Now his business is all over the country, and he has many businesses in the capital! Miss Zeng has finally found her happy ending after all the hardships. Not only has she become more beautiful, she has also become a noble princess from a foreign country. Mr. Zhou is also very handsome and has a dignified appearance..."

"Xiao He! Do you have a lot of time? If you are so free, go call Yu'er and Heng'er. They are getting lazier and lazier. Their studies are so neglected that the teachers in the Imperial College have sent someone to say that if they don't study hard, they will have to drop out!"

"Ah! Sir, this is impossible. I will go and ask the young lady and the young master to come over now."

Xiao He ran out quickly, slapping his face as he ran. Why did he say so much? The adult was angry now. There was nothing he could do. He had always admired the lady.

A pampered lady from a wealthy family, a young girl in the boudoir, after marrying a man, takes care of the household affairs, cooks for him, and serves him comfortably, not knowing how expensive firewood and rice are.

She also has to manage the property in the dowry. The master has no property at all, and that little salary is barely enough to support himself and his family.

But it is simply impossible for her to live a life with a large group of servants and maids serving her and eating delicious food every day. He can see how tired and hard-working her wife is.

Hua'er also talked a lot about Madam. Hua'er also likes and loves Madam very much, but Madam does not know how to cherish her. The Princess Changping whom he married now is not a kind person. I just hope Princess Changping will cherish her!

Cheng Rui didn't know that Xiao He had so much on his mind. He stared at the ink on his sleeve absentmindedly. If she was...

She would immediately go get some water, wipe the ink off his hands, and then go on and on about how he got ink on his clothes and how it would be difficult to clean.

I found new clothes for him to change into, tidied up the mess on his desk, and made him a cup of hot tea, telling him not to get upset, drink the tea slowly, and think carefully, and there will be a solution...

All this seemed to be happening right before his eyes. Was he wrong? But who doesn't want to climb up? If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

Why didn't her family find her earlier? They would not have separated then. He felt guilty towards her and he had no choice but to divorce her.

But what did she do? After becoming the eldest princess, she divorced him, making him the first man in South Vietnam to be divorced by a woman. He became a concubine and a joke that others talked about every day.

He also hated the fact that he didn't have a noble birth like others. Even if he wasn't noble, he could be rich, but he had neither.

So he can only rely on his own efforts to climb up. Is it wrong for him to do so? Why do people say that he can only survive by relying on his wife's dowry and his wife's family?

Is it wrong to marry a princess? If they can't marry a princess, they will just say bad things about others, as if they are jealous of others. To marry a princess, one must rely on one's own ability and have the conditions and ability.

Forget it, there's no point thinking about those people. He is already a second-rank official now. It only took him three years to go from the third-rank official to the second-rank official. If he works harder, he will soon be the prime minister.

Princess Changping's Mansion

"Princess, these are carefully selected by our Highness. Please decide if you want to keep them all."

A middle-aged man bent over with a smile on his face, pointing at several handsome men standing in front of the hall.

"Seventh Prince still knows what I am thinking. Let's all stay! Go back to Seventh Prince for me. I will protect him from now on."

Now the emperor is old and the crown prince is not favored by him, so it is still undecided who will sit on the throne in the end.

Among so many imperial brothers, the seventh imperial brother is the most sensible. He has made excellent arrangements for both money and handsome brothers. It is only right that I help him in the future.

"Okay, Princess, enjoy your meal. I will go back and report to your Highness."

The middle-aged man lowered his head and stepped back. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes and the smile on his lips was a little stiff.

"Princess, the Seventh Prince has sent many men here over the past year. Although the Prince Consort is reluctant to live in the Princess's mansion, what if he suddenly finds out?"

Maid A was a little worried.

"I am a princess, isn't it normal for me to have several lovers? I am not taking him to the Shangshu Mansion, I have already been very considerate of his face. This is my princess's mansion, I can do whatever I want, how dare he do anything to me?"

"But……"

"Are you done yet? Go away and don't ruin my mood. You guys are really good-looking, better than the previous batches. Come, drink and sing with me.

Whoever makes me happiest will sleep with me tonight. Hahaha..."

Maid A retreated helplessly.

Maid B came in with a list of gifts. Seeing that the princess was in high spirits, she did not dare to look up. She stood in the hall with her head down, holding the list, unable to go forward or backward.

Finally, he had to bite the bullet and report to the princess. Princess Changping was disturbed and looked unhappy, and the maid was trembling with fear.

"Are you dead? Can't you see that I'm busy? You have no eyesight! You'd better be in trouble, otherwise I'll have someone slap you a hundred times!"

"Princess, this is the gift list sent by the Prince Consort. Your Highness, please take a look at it and decide on the gifts."

"Gift list? Who are the gifts for?" Princess Changping asked irritably.

"Yes Yes……"
