Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

At this moment, the steward and a group of servants stood respectfully by the side. In the courtyard were placed exactly eight empty wooden boxes, which were especially eye-catching.

It was only seen that An Wangfei first roughly surveyed the many real estate properties under An Wang Fu's name, and after careful consideration, finally carefully selected two property deeds with the grandest scale and the most comfortable living environment.

Immediately afterward, she carefully handed these two deeds to the steward, and specially instructed: "Be sure to place these two deeds separately in a small exquisite box and keep them properly."

The words had not yet fallen when An Wangfei raised her eyes and happened to catch sight of Yan Shuang'er walking over. Yan Shuang'er asked: "Mother, where are you looking?"

An Wangfei replied, having just selected two property deeds in prosperous districts, and was now looking at which properties earned more, selecting three or four, and Yan Shuang'er also came up to An Wangfei's side to look.

Yan Shuang'er extended her slender fingers, pointing to two of the places, and softly said: "Mother, look at this wine shop and that rice shop, they are both located in the most prosperous and bustling district in the city, with customers thronging the door every day, and the profits are quite considerable!"

Speaking, she turned her gaze to the other two places, and continued: "However, compared to them, the business of this jewelry shop and that furniture shop is slightly inferior, but overall it can still be considered passable."

An Wangfei nodded slightly, indicating agreement, a relieved smile appearing on her face, and praised: "Not bad, my Shuang'er actually understands these properties so well. Since that is the case, then bestow this wine shop and rice shop to Yu'er as her dowry."

After pausing for a moment, An Wangfei seemed to think of something, and then added: "Hmm... simply give this jewelry shop and furniture shop to her as well, good things come in pairs, might as well give her four shops, so she can marry off in grand style."

The words had just fallen, and the steward beside them understood immediately, nimbly beginning to search among the many documents for the deeds of these four shops.

Just then, Yan Shuang'er suddenly spoke: "Mother, daughter has no other special thoughts, only some slight doubt in her heart. You see, you have given all these well-managed shops with considerable income to Second Brother as betrothal gifts, then when Fourth Brother marries in the future, if only those shops with poor profits can be taken out as his betrothal gifts, wouldn't it seem somewhat favoring one over the other, not quite right?"

Hearing her daughter's words, An Wangfei was first stunned, then laughed, gently patting Yan Shuang'er's hand to comfort her: "Your Fourth Brother Wang'er is still young now, and there is still a long time before he starts a family and establishes a career.

At least four or five more years! Besides, your father is in his prime, full of energy, exactly the best time to strive for his career. As long as he works harder and manages diligently, I believe it won't be long before he can open several more shops with booming business and good reputation."

We must first focus on preparing Si'er's dowry, after all she is the Eldest Princess of a country, and moreover the most doted-upon little princess of Dongying Guo. If the dowry given is too little and shabby, wouldn't it seem that we don't value the other side enough? That wouldn't be good at all."

Yan Shuang'er, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smile and respond: "Mother speaks extremely well, it's just that this way, Father will have to work harder." An Wangfei smiled slightly, saying: "Hmph, these are all troubles he brought upon himself, who told him to insist on having so many children!"

Just as they were chatting and laughing, An Wangfei turned her head to instruct the steward beside them: "Go put the deeds of these four shops into that small box as well."

After the steward received the order and left, An Wangfei and Yan Shuang'er both stared at the detailed list of the warehouse in their hands, eagerly selecting those items that were expensive, exquisite in appearance, and deeply loved by girls. Only to hear An Wangfei suddenly exclaim in praise: "Aiya, this pearl necklace is truly beautiful, hurry and put it in!"

Immediately afterward, Yan Shuang'er also excitedly pointed to a pair of night pearls and said: "Look, this pair of night pearls is simply magnificent, exactly two of them, as the saying goes good things come in pairs, quickly put them in!"

An Wangfei nodded slightly, her gaze falling on that piece of exquisite silk, and softly said: "This is silk bestowed by the palace, always reluctant to use, put it into the box."

Yan Shuang'er standing beside them immediately spoke: "There is also this top-grade tea, Father cherishes it greatly on ordinary days, and is reluctant to taste it, also put it into the box together." Thus, the two began to carefully select.

Only to see several servants, upon hearing the order, hurriedly moved various rare items out from the warehouse, carefully placing them into those huge boxes one by one.

Not long after,.

The words had just fallen, the steward hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and asking: "I don't know how much gold should be put in to be appropriate?" An Wangfei answered without hesitation: "Just fill the boxes, no need to worry about the specific quantity."

After receiving clear instructions, the steward hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this servant will go exchange for gold now!" After speaking, he led a group of servants and rushed toward the Qianzhuang.

Yan Shuang'er, who was meticulous in thought, seeing this, additionally instructed several guards hidden in the dark to go together, to ensure this operation was absolutely foolproof.

After these people left, An Wangfei turned to the other servants: "Quickly tie every large box with a bright red bow, and properly place them inside the warehouse."

Everyone received the order and acted, their movements swift and skilled. In a short while, all the large boxes had been tied up, and neatly arranged inside the warehouse. Only those two empty large boxes still quietly lay in the courtyard, waiting for the gold filling that was about to arrive.

After a period of time, the steward and the others finally returned with full loads. They were sweating profusely and panting, but their faces were filled with joy after completing the task, each one strong and sturdy, each person steadily carrying a large hemp sack on their shoulder.

These hemp sacks looked ordinary, with nothing special about them. However, when one of them gently placed a sack on the ground and untied the bag opening, instantly a dazzling golden light flashed out, directly dazzling everyone's eyes! Even An Wangfei, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but slightly narrow her eyes.

An Wangfei composed herself, then softly instructed the servant beside her: "You just pour these gold directly into the boxes."

After receiving the order, the servants immediately took action, their movements swift and efficient. Each person shouldered a sack of gold, quickly walked toward the large boxes that had long been prepared, then raised the bags high, letting the glittering gold pour down like a waterfall.
