Chapter 171 Parents enter Beijing

Yang Yuhuan's parents finally arrived in Chang'an. Li Xiu ordered the door to open and personally welcome the arrival of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Yang Xuanyan and his wife Liu were amazed at the scale of the royal palace, but were not surprised. After all, Yang Xuanyan was an eighth-rank army member from Henan Palace. The couple were invited to the Luoyang Palace and had some experience.

Yang Yuhuan and his sister Yang Yupei met their parents and brothers together. The family was reunited and they were very happy.

Li Xiu then personally led Yang Xuanyan and his wife to visit the royal palace. Liu was very excited, but Yang Xuanyan was a little worried.

"Your Highness, I've always been a little worried, where should Yuhuan start to get married? I have a few friends in Chang'an. Why don't I ask if I can borrow their house to get married?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I bought a house for the two elders in Changshoufang, three acres of houses, and there is also a two acres of forest next to them. They can also be expanded into five acres of houses. The forest has been leveled and the wall has been built. It is currently being built into a yard that can be passed on to the descendants in the future."

"In addition, if Yuhuan is the princess in the future, the court will give the two elders a official house called the house of the foreign relatives, which is about five acres, and you can live there all the time."

Liu was not very concerned about the houses of the foreign relatives, but she was very concerned about the house that Li Xiu bought for them. She asked quickly: "Your Highness, can we go and see the houses of Changshoufang?"

"Of course you can go and see it at any time. You can make your own decisions if you want to build it. But the two elders worked hard all the way. Let's have a good rest today and go and see it tomorrow!"

Liu hurriedly said, "We are not tired at all. If we can, we want to go and have a look now, otherwise we will not be able to sleep well at night."

"Don't be so anxious! Isn't it the same when I go to see you tomorrow?" Yang Xuanyan complained that his wife was impatient.

Liu glared at her husband, "You don't care about anything at home, I'm worried about it. It's still early, so let's see what's wrong?"

Yang Xuanyan was afraid and was yelled by his wife, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Xiu quickly smiled and said, "I fully understand my aunt's mood. No problem, let's go and see it now."

Li Xiu turned around and ordered Zhong Kui to arrange a carriage and take Yang Xuanyan and his wife to Changshoufang to see the house.

............

Yang Xuanyan couldn't stand his wife's thoughts and sat alone in front of the carriage. Yang Yupei accompanied her mother to sit in the back carriage, and their only son Yang Yudu.

Yang Xuanyan and his wife had five children in total, four daughters and one son. The son is the youngest, only twelve years old, very honest, just like his father, he is also a dull man.

Liu talked for a long time, and when she saw her husband ignore her, she turned her attention to the third brother Yang Yupei.

"Yu Pei, your sister is about to get married, are you not in a hurry?"

"Mom, what do you care about me?"

"It's strange. You are my daughter, why can't I care about you? Besides, I have already told you a marriage. When your sister's marriage is done, you will go back to your hometown to go on a blind date."

Yang Yupei widened her eyes, "What blind date, I won't go!"

Liu's face sank, "You are almost seventeen years old and are still everywhere. You don't go home all day long. When will you be able to calm down?"

"I'm everywhere, haven't I calmed down? I live with Yuhuan. We agreed that my sisters will stay together for the rest of their lives."

"What should you do if Yuhuan gets married? Have you always wanted to live with her? What do you think of your son-in-law?"

"Whatever you think, you can afford to keep a big wallet anyway, so what's the matter with him marrying one more?" Yang Yupei muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Liu didn't understand immediately.

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, "Madam, the house has arrived."

.........

Yang Xuanyan and his wife visited Li Xiu's house and were just a quick look, but the house in Changshoufang was completely different. They just took a magnifying glass to look around. It took a stick of incense to just sit on the gate. There was no way, this was their own home!

"Old Yang, I said this house is quite new, with furniture and everything, and the workmanship behind it is also separated by the wall. Let's live here! If you don't bother your son-in-law."

Yang Xuanyan was still distracted, and he felt very distressed for a while: "Isn't it just a gift for thousands of pieces of colorful silk last time? Now I've given another house. I've asked about it. The cheapest house in the capital is tens of thousands of yuan, so it's hard for us to collect it!"

Liu stared at the eyes, "I'm just thinking about it. What is his identity? He is a prince. Is it not a joke to give a few thousand pieces of money to marry a wife? Besides, you have to think about Du'er. Only when Du'er has real estate in the capital in the future can he gain a foothold. This is the ancestral property passed down to your descendants by Lao Yang."

When talking about his son, Yang Xuanyan was completely out of temper. He had no future in his life. The house he lived in Luoyang belonged to his father, but he did not leave any property.

Fortunately, he married a beautiful lady and gave birth to four beautiful daughters, especially his fourth daughter Yang Yuhuan. After he was ten years old, a matchmaker began to come to propose marriage. In the past five years, the threshold was cut off. It was a recognized beauty that was fascinating. Seeing that he was getting more and more beautiful, he finally married the prince and completely changed their lives.

Yang Xuanyan sighed and stopped talking.

Yang Yupei smiled and said, "Mom, your wealth is more than this house."

Liu's eyes lit up, and quickly pulled his daughter aside, and asked with a smile: "Good daughter, what else is there?"

"As long as you don't interfere with me, I'll tell you."

"I'm afraid my son-in-law will bother you."

"He doesn't bother me. He said that with me at home, the house is more lively and it's not too deserted. Besides, the Empress also likes me very much, praises me for being as beautiful as my sister, and never put on makeup."

"Okay, I won't interfere with you. Tell me, what else?"

"I heard from the Empress that when the prince gets married, the emperor will take out 30,000 guan of money, usually 10,000 guan of money, and 20,000 guan of wedding expenses. However, the young master asked to hold a brief wedding, and the cost of 20,000 guan of wedding was reduced to 5,000 guan, and then 15,000 guan of money and 10,000 guan of dowry."

"oops!"

Liu slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted in dismay: "Master, we have forgotten Yuhuan's dowry!"

Yang Xuanyan said proudly: "You forgot that, I haven't forgotten it. I am going to take out two thousand pieces of colorful silk to make a dowry for Yuhuan. Before leaving, I exchanged two thousand pieces of colorful silk to four thousand guan in Baoji Cabinet in Chengdu, made a flying money, and just went back to get four thousand guan in Baoji Cabinet in Chang'an. That's the dowry for Yuhuan."

"But why do you have to get married simply? Isn't it good to get married with a grand and glorious relationship?" Liu was a little confused.

Yang Yupei explained: "Mom, the main reason is that Your Highness has too many enemies. He is worried that he will be too arrogant and that his sister will be stared at by his enemies. It is safer to be low-key! Moreover, the cost of a 20,000 yuan marriage is consumed. I wonder how much the eunuchs will take away from the middle. I am afraid that more than half of it will be. Let's be frugal and use the extra money as gifts and dowry?"

Liu thought about it and said that it was too luxurious to hold a wedding with 20,000 yuan. It was a waste of money to save half of it as a dowry for his daughter, of course it would be better than being taken away by others.

More importantly, when she heard that it would be unsafe, she no longer insisted on marrying in a glorious manner. No matter how important the wedding is, it is not as important as the safety of her daughter.

The house in Changshoufang made Yang Xuanyan and his wife very satisfied, especially the two-acre new house being built. Yang Xuanyan made major modifications. He originally planned to build the east courtyard of the guest room, but Yang Xuanyan changed it into a single courtyard. This will be the only one after his son got married. In the future, his son has his own independent courtyard and can live with him. This is the best pattern.

As for people from my hometown, they can live in the front yard, and there is no need to prepare a yard for them separately.

At night, the couple lived in the new house. Yang Xuanyan was a little tired and fell to sleep, but Liu was so excited that he couldn't sleep. They lay on the bed and kept talking.

"Master, you said you would not be the princess immediately after getting married. Will you marry another official wife who is of equal status in the future?"

"What are you thinking about? All 30,000 guan has been allocated. Do you think that marrying a concubine will be 30,000 guan? This is to marry a wife according to the rules of the main wife. As for being a princess, it must be after marriage, and it seems like this is the case."

"Master, do you think the third sister wants to marry her son-in-law, too?"

Yang Xuanyan was about to fall asleep, and suddenly woke up by his wife's words.

"It should be known!"

"You are so stupid that you can't do anything. Today I feel something is wrong. She said she would stay there all the time, and said that her sisters stayed together for the rest of her life, and said that the Empress liked her very much. I found that she was a little nervous when she accompanied us to the palace. Now I remembered that it was because the son-in-law was walking with her at that time."

Yang Xuanyan said for a while: "If the son-in-law wants to take her as his concubine, we have no choice. It depends on her! We can't control it either."
