Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

At this moment, it was still Wang Baobao who was the most skilled at seizing the moment. Wang Baobao said, ”Mr. Yuan, one matter doesn’t bother two masters. Since you’ve agreed to assist, why not choose an auspicious date and time for them to complete the marriage?”

Hearing this, Yuan Sanjia pondered for a moment and said, ”The timing is a bit rushed. It’s best to complete the marriage within a month, but given the situation in Jiangnan, handling it might take a considerable amount of time.”

”No worries, Mr. Yuan. Just pick the best day and time for me. As for the rest, you don’t need to worry. I’ll handle everything else!”

King Ruyang truly adored Zhao Ya, to an extreme degree. Upon hearing there was an auspicious day within the month, he naturally couldn’t delay, especially when he heard Yuan Sanjia mention it was the best day.

King Ruyang was eager to give Zhao Ya nothing but the best.

Thus, upon hearing there was the best day within a month, he immediately inquired about when that might be.

Yuan Sanjia contemplated and said, ”The 28th of the month is an excellent day, just perfect.”

King Ruyang said, ”Today is the third, leaving twenty-five days until the 28th, that’s sufficient.”

”Father Wang, hurrying from here to Jiangnan might take twenty days, and resolving Jiangnan in just five days will be challenging. Besides, we need to prepare Yaya’s wedding arrangements.”

Upon hearing this, King Ruyang said, ”With me here, in the land of Jiangnan, they can surrender at my sight. In short, we can’t miss Yaya’s auspicious date and time.”

King Ruyang looked at Wang Baobao and said, ”Pass my military order, tomorrow morning, at the start of the third hour, prepare the meal, at the third quarter of the hour eat, set off at the fourth quarter of the hour, without any error.”

”Yes!”

Wang Baobao immediately complied. Zhao Ya, standing to the side, looked at King Ruyang and said, ”Father Wang, you needn’t go to such lengths for my sake, burdening the brothers might lead to mutiny.”

King Ruyang replied, ”Yaya, you don’t need to worry about anything else. Just be a good bride.”

Having said that, King Ruyang immediately called outside, ”Summon Lord Wuxiang!”

At these words, Lord Wuxiang immediately entered, bowed to King Ruyang, and said, ”Prince, what can I do for you?”

Upon hearing this, King Ruyang thought for a moment, looked at Lord Wuxiang, and said, ”I have an errand for you. You are to secretly return to Longxing Prefecture.”

”I understand, I will certainly have the city gates open to welcome the prince when you return to Longxing Prefecture.”

”What!”

King Ruyang, upon hearing this, looked at Lord Wuxiang, ”Who asked you to serve as a secret agent in the city? I mean you are to sneak into Longxing Prefecture. The wedding clothes from Dragon Raising Silk Shop there are the finest. Help me order a Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity wedding outfit, only the best set from their house will do.”

”Understood!”

Lord Wuxiang immediately complied. King Ruyang said, ”Wait, it probably takes some days for the head of Dragon Raising Silk Shop to create this set. But you tell them it’s for me. Last time, the imperial wedding clothes I ordered were almost done, just needing final touches. You pass down the order to modify it with that set, the work period should be around eighteen days.”

”Additionally, I need the best jewelry and headgear from Liuhe Building, everything, get it all for me, and also...”

King Ruyang continued, and Lord Wuxiang promptly acknowledged each instruction. After a long while, King Ruyang finished arranging all the tasks.

Now, he only needed to lead the army to Longxing Prefecture to receive them.

Everything in order, Lord Wuxiang immediately complied, took on his tasks, and set off. With Lord Wuxiang’s capabilities, returning solo to Longxing Prefecture posed absolutely no problem, as there was no Melt God Realm powerhouse in Longxing Prefecture.

The entire Longxing Prefecture only had a late-stage Melting Furnace member of the Qincha Eight Guards, the third brother, and it would be impossible for him to capture Lord Wuxiang with his strength.

After King Ruyang completed his arrangements, he immediately ordered preparations for the bridal chamber in the Anqing Prefecture of Hubei, because if they set off from Longxing Prefecture, time wouldn’t allow.

Therefore, King Ruyang and others could only carry the Commandery Princess all the way from Longxing Prefecture to Anqing Prefecture, then enter Hubei’s territory, where Chen Jie arranged for lodging in the Huanggang area.

Thus, the Commandery Princess would head directly to Huangzhou Prefecture, and on the wedding day, she would stay at a temporary villa in Huangzhou Prefecture, where Chen Jie would arrive the next day to pick her up.

This was King Ruyang’s arranged plan. At that moment, he looked at Chen Jie and asked, ”Chen Jiusi, do you have any questions?”

Chen Jie replied, ”I, I have no questions. But, Prince, when will the engagement take place, and how much dowry is required?”

During this era, dowries were important, and they couldn’t be modest.

In this regard, Chen Jie had studied thoroughly. In these times, you mustn’t refer to it as a bride price because the bride price was specifically for concubines during this era. Once this money was given, it meant buying the concubine away from her parents.

Only the lowest concubines required a bride price.

For a legitimate wife, it was dowries that were required, and for a legitimate wife, there was also a need to return a dowry.

King Ruyang looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Since my Yaya is marrying you, I don’t expect much dowry. Just give whatever you like; I’m not going to be petty about this.”

King Ruyang was very generous, showing a laid-back attitude, as if to say, as the father marrying off his daughter, the dowry would certainly be so abundant it would defy belief.

Chen Jie, hearing King Ruyang’s words, thought it over: a Commandery Princess of Zhao’s status marrying him, he absolutely couldn’t be too frugal.

Thinking this, Chen Jie picked up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. Fortunately, he still had considerable family wealth.

At this point, Chen Jie directly wrote on the paper: thirty top-level storefronts in Huangzhou Prefecture, three salt fields, five mines, and additionally, the fifth textile factory in Huangzhou Prefecture as a gift.
