Chapter 813 - 813 Betrothal Gift (2)

    813 Betrothal Gift (2)


    Luo Xueyan handed the betrothal gift list to Tie Yi and said, “Read it.”


    ording to Ming Qi’s custom, the betrothal gift list had to be “sung” by the person sent by the groom’s family. The longer the song was sung, the more generous the betrothal gift was.


    Tie Yi was obviously not used to doing such a thing. He turned to the first page and sang dryly, “One rosewood bed with begonias, one arhat bed, one rosewood cab, wooden cab of rosewood, one nanmu bookshelf, a pair of red bean porcin bottom, one rosewood long table…”


    The first page was filled with furniture. Everyone was dumbfounded. There were so many things that even the current Shen mansion could not fit them all!


    The second page was filled with decorations. Tie Yi sang again, “An agarwood iid with jade, a jade Ruyi, a tin paper oilmp, a small gold-ted clock, a silver pocket watch, a pot of money tree, a pot of plums, a set of porcin teapot, a hanging mirror, a screen…”


    Every one of them was worth a lot of money, probably enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for a few years. Even if Prince Rui was rich, this was not the way to squander money. Luo Tan sniffed and tugged at Shen Miao’s sleeve timidly, saying, “What does Prince Rui’s family do… Salt merchants?”


    Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin also frowned. Prince Rui was too generous with the betrothal gifts.


    However, before they could be surprised, Tie Yi had already continued to sing. On the third page were daily necessities. He sang, “Six boxes of boxwoodb, two boxes of double-edged fine-toothedb, a red sandalwood dressing box, a gargling bowl, sandalwood soap, a curtain, a satin curtain, a ss bead curtain, a five-colored tassel…”


    Everyone in the Shen family was dumbfounded.


    Tie Yi continued on the fourth page of clothes. “There are 32 sets of fur, silver mouse skin, gray mouse skin, sheep skin, pearl fur, and various cotton gs. There are 12 sets of cocoon silk, and gauze flower coats. There are 30 sets of fragrant cloud yarn, 20 pieces of brocade, 10 pieces of cloud brocade, 10 pieces of Shu brocade, and 12 pieces of silk of various colors. There are 36 pieces of embroidered satin, 20 pairs of embroidered shoes, and 40 pairs of silk socks…”


    Luo Xueyan couldn’t help but ask, “This… Did you take the wrong list of betrothal gifts from Prince Rui? This… is too generous!”


    Tie Yi said expressionlessly, “No, Prince Rui only has this list of betrothal gifts. Madam, please continue to listen.”


    He sang the fifth page of gold and silver jewelry. “Four pieces of jade, four pieces of white jade, and two pieces of crystal. Pearl bracelet, jade bracelet, coral bracelet…”


    He sang the sixth page of antiques. “Four pairs of gold-colored porcin bottles, a pair of red jade teapots, a pair of colorful bottles, and a white plum bottle…”


    He sang the seventh page of books.


    He sang the eighth page of maids, servants, and personal guards.


    The ninth page of carriages.


    The tenth page…


    Everyone in the Shen family was dumbfounded.


    The more Tie Yi sang, the smoother he became. He sang with the aura of an experienced matchmaker. With every line he sang, it made people feel like they had seen arge amount of money. After singing thest sentence, he stopped and took a deep breath. He closed the betrothal gift list and looked at Shen Miao.
