Chapter 246: Presenting Betrothal Gifts
Shen Ruoxi thought about it and felt it made sense. If her daughter got married first and she got married later, people would laugh at her. Besides, she had agreed to marry him to support her daughter. “But when will it be held? We agreed to go to the capital after arranging the workshop matters.”
Jin Kingdom Emperor immediately said, “There is an auspicious day for marriage in five days.”
He had memorized all the auspicious days of this year.
He was thinking that on that day, his daughter could acknowledge her ancestry and return to the clan as soon as possible!
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi looked at him deeply. “You planned this beforehand?”
Jin Kingdom Emperor immediately said, “It’s not that I planned it beforehand, but I was prepared. I look at the almanac every day and have memorized all the auspicious days of this year. I was thinking that whenever you agreed to marry me, we could choose the fastest day to get married. This shows my sincerity to you and your daughter.”
“…”
Shen Ruoxi ‘s face involuntarily turned red!
Jin Kingdom Emperor continued, “I have already prepared the betrothal gifts! How about I find a matchmaker to present them now?”
Shen Ruoxi said with a blushing face, “Discuss this matter with my mother!”
After saying that, she ran into the house.
Jin Kingdom Emperor looked at her fleeing figure, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his usually stern face. He immediately turned around to find Matchmaker Zhang!
He heard that the matches made by Matchmaker Zhang were all good marriages!
As a result, that evening, when Chu Tiankuo asked Xingnong when she would take Madam Gu to the capital to treat her leg, Xingnong said, “I have to wait for my mother to get married before going to the capital to treat her leg.”
Chu Tiankuo: “…”
Well, this time, that father-in-law had secured his position!
He had to add another layer to the gifts he had prepared!
“When?”
“Five days later.”
Chu Tiankuo: “…”
I’m so envious!
This speed is worthy of the Jin Kingdom Emperor!

The Jin Kingdom Emperor was not joking when he said that the betrothal gifts were already prepared!
The next day, Xingnong’s courtyard was filled with boxes of betrothal gifts. The small courtyard couldn’t hold them at all, and the gifts were already placed on the village road, filling the entire road!
Shen Dong read the long list of betrothal gifts, but the properties and shops alone made the ears of the Peach Blossom Village villagers overwhelmed.
The villagers were discussing amongst themselves:
“I just counted. There are sixty-six mansions in Jin Kingdom alone, not including shops and estates!”
“Jin Kingdom has sixty-six cities! Every city has mansions, shops, and estates!”
“My God, who is this Master Shen? How is he so rich? Did he buy the entire Jin Kingdom? How come he has so many properties in Jin Kingdom?”
“This is simply being rich enough to rival a country! Oh my God! We no longer have to worry about Xingnong being looked down upon for marrying the Crown Prince! Her father is too awesome!”

“Shh, don’t talk. It’s Yan Kingdom’s turn! Hurry up and count! Let’s count together, don’t miss any!”
Everyone immediately quieted down!
After more than fifteen minutes, the betrothal gifts regarding the properties, shops, and estates in Yan Kingdom were finally read.
The villagers began to discuss in low voices again, “I counted thirty-six mansions, in different cities. How many cities does Yan Kingdom have? Does anyone know?”
“I also counted thirty-six shops and thirty-six estates, in different cities! Yan Kingdom has thirty-six cities!”
“My God, doesn’t Master Shen have properties in all four kingdoms? Who on earth is he?!”
Usually, everyone knew he was rich, but they didn’t know he was this rich!
“Shh, don’t make noise! It’s Zhao Kingdom’s turn! Hurry up and count, hurry up and count!” the village chief’s wife said excitedly!
We’ve struck it rich!
Everyone: “…”
Does he really have properties in all four kingdoms?
Is he planning to use the world as a betrothal gift?
The Jin Kingdom Emperor looked at everyone’s shocked expressions with pride. His things, if not given to his wife and daughter, then to whom?
He wanted to see what that certain someone would use to marry his princess.
Without betrothal gifts of this scale, don’t even think about marrying his little princess!
Hmph, hmph, hmph… Let that certain someone figure it out!
If he can’t afford it, then obediently break off the engagement!
The village chief’s wife said, “Zhao Kingdom now only has twenty-five cities left, so there are twenty-five mansions, shops, and estates! How many did you count?”
Everyone pursed their lips tightly and nodded vigorously!
Aunt Lei said, “Chu Kingdom! Chu Kingdom, it’s Chu Kingdom’s turn!”
The village chief’s wife said, “What are you getting excited about? There are properties in the other three kingdoms, could Chu Kingdom be any less?”
Everyone nodded!
They were not surprised at all anymore!
