Because it was a marriage given by the emperor's decree, most of the three books and six ceremonies were just a scene, and they were quickly completed from Nacai to Najib.
It's not like this, how can someone say that the emperor's marriage is not worthy of anything.
Gradually, the people in Beijing also heard the news, and the most talked about in the streets and alleys recently is this marriage, because the emperor has not been in good health in recent years, and has not been married for many years.
Therefore, when Cheng Guogong's Mansion came to be hired, the road from Chengguo's Mansion to Li Ge's old alley was actually blocked by the crowd watching the excitement, as if only when the fourth prince and the fifth prince got married a few years ago, there was such a lively scene.
A dowry with a festive red silk slowly passed through the street, just looking at the number is already staggering, not to mention the weight that even the sturdy porter is slightly bent over, the lively people on the street really opened their eyes, tsk and praise, envy the good fortune of the daughter of the Lin family, the dowry represents the degree of attention of the husband's family, such a number of dowry is really rare.
When the dowry was carried all the way into the garden, a bright steward who had already followed handed over the gift book, Cui's looked at the boxes full of a yard, and he was satisfied, after all, this means that the man acknowledges and thanks the woman's parents for their nurturing grace to their daughter, and it is not perfunctory, it really took a lot of thought.
In front of the front is full of two plates of gold bars for dowry, about a thousand taels, the cloth has 88 horses of cloud smoke cage green yarn in summer, 88 horses of Shu brocade and brocade in winter, 100 and 8 horses of silk satin silk cloth of various colors, colored satin cloth, silk, wool and so on, eight symbolic pieces of satin mattresses, and then there are 38 pairs of red gold dragon and phoenix auspicious bracelets, 38 pairs of red gold dragon and phoenix hairpins, 18 boxes of gems and pearls, the golden light is dazzling under the sun of the time, and the courtyard of the halo is brilliant.
The back ones are all according to the rules, a load of reunion cakes printed with bright red characters, and eighteen boxes of fine tea purchased from the origin of tribute tea.
Among the eight types of seafood, the hair cabbage is black and soft, and there are many valuable seafood such as abalone, oysters, scallops, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimps, sea cucumbers, shark fins, and fish maw.
Two pairs of live chickens with two males and two females are shiny in color, full of spirit, and a pair of geese are hanging from their throats and singing loudly; Pork and dace are combined into one load, and a rich and fragrant 30-year-old Jinhua wine is served.
The mahogany box is filled with auspicious lotus seeds, lilies, cypresses, dried longans, dried lychees, dried walnuts, red dates, sesame seeds, shelled peanuts, orange cakes, winter melon candy and golden cocoon.
As for the other whole goose and duck, lamb legs, elbows and all kinds of delights and dried fruits, there are countless others.
Fan, who came to see the excitement and added makeup by the way, said to Cui's with a smile on his face: "It's good to have a daughter, look at this yard of things, alas, I've lived so much and I've never seen any family give so many dowry gifts, so I don't have your blessing." ” Cui's didn't have any interest in going around with Fan's, and was busy greeting the ladies who came to add makeup.
Yuzhu's eldest aunt Gao glanced at Fan with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Why is there no blessing, don't forget that your daughter is the prince's side concubine, don't talk nonsense, be careful to fold the blessing."
"My niece's good life was not ruined by her chirping. touched a nail, Fan was a little embarrassed, she had never been a daughter in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to her mouth when she got away with it, but she lost face.
Let Pinxiang take the golden silk gemstone bead butterfly hairpin and put it on the plate, and he naturally talked to Mrs.
Huang San around him.
Gao looked at Fan coldly as if nothing had happened, and laughed, and didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he pulled Cui Shi and said: "Look at the Cheng family's dowry, you have to be a snack for the dowry of the bamboo girl, and the bamboo girl in the province is not straight at the waist of the husband's family." ” Cui Shi smiled and grabbed Gao's arm, and said with a smile: "Why don't you worry about me, sister-in-law, most of these things still have to follow the bamboo girl, so I don't want to stay at home, I don't look angry."
Seeing Gao's disapproving expression, he continued: "But when it comes to dowry, I want to ask my sister-in-law for a favor." ” "What's the help, you said, the old lady is not in good spirits, but I don't worry about you sending me over to supervise, and I will definitely help if I can."
Gao's temperament is also cool and direct, and when he heard that his niece's dowry was still problematic, he immediately became anxious.
Cui Shi smiled: "It's not a big deal, I gave birth to the dowry of the bamboo girl and started saving it just after the confinement, and I also collected a lot of good things in the local area when my lord went out, which has been complete for many years, no matter how trivial it is."
There are some problems with large pieces of furniture, and I have to measure the size of the new house immediately after the levy, and I have saved a lot of good wood, but there are fifteen days left for this full count, and the craftsman is enough, but I am afraid that they will do it in a hurry, and the things that are not made are fine, so I asked my sister-in-law to recommend a few good carpenters. ” "This idea is worth it when you say it for half a day, you can rest assured, my mother's family has raised a group of craftsmen, all of them have outstanding craftsmanship and unique skills, and I and my sisters, nieces and nephews dowry are made by them, that's really good, I'll go back to my parents' house later, and the nieces in the family got married the year before last, and there is plenty of time, and it's time to keep it."
As soon as Gao shook the handkerchief, he almost didn't pat his chest to ensure it.
Cui Shi got the expected answer, smiled and thanked him, and then discussed the subtle attention of the kiss, although Cui Shi has the ability to do the family affairs beautifully, but it is about the most beloved daughter, always thinking about excellence.
The sister-in-law has married two daughters-in-law, Meiyu and Xueyu, and there are always some experience and insights.
At this time, a well-dressed daughter-in-law came over and said with a smile: "The second wife of the Xu family, the wife of the Tan family, and the young grandmothers are here." ” When Cui Shi heard this, he sued Gao Shi and hurriedly greeted him.
"But it should be punished, why did you come here, and the makeup for our bamboo girl will make you feel distressed."
First welcomed the wives of the Tan family to the side and sat down to drink tea, and then the Cui family turned around and laughed and joked with his friends.
Bai Shi first greeted a few familiar wives, glanced at Cui's who was happy at the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your family is much thicker than mine, so you are embarrassed to rob me." ” Cui's knew that the Xu family was not separated, and the days were naturally not so free, and he was not entangled, so he pulled the Tan family's big milk up and down, and said with a smile: "Ruqing's complexion is good, your eyes are finally good once, and the son-in-law finally picked a good one." ” Ruqing, now Tan Da Da Niang, her temperament has not changed much from before she got married, she smiled and let Cui Shi pull her, and briefly explained a few words about the days after marriage, after all, on the night of the Midyear Festival, Cui's was equivalent to saving her life, and after that, she was always closer than before.
After a few pleasantries, he asked, "What about Yuzhu, I'll talk to her." ” "In her yard, I only let her shrink into the house, and I don't have a few days to be comfortable anyway."
Seeing people close to him, Cui's spoke a lot more casually, and Chong Ruqing smiled: "Good boy, it's okay if you go to talk to her, stay in the house all day, I'm afraid she will be bored." ” Seeing that there were more and more people standing around, Bai Shi hurriedly sent his daughter away, turned his head and said to Cui's family: "I don't need you to say hello, hurry up and go to the front, there are so many people here, how rude are you as a master." ” Cui's is also not polite, such a big scene, the two daughters-in-law really can't cope with it, beckoned the little maid on the side, and told them to take care of people, and then walked away to greet relatives, friends and daughters.
Ruqing was familiar with the way into Yuzhu's young bamboo house, and Qinsi, who was feeding Brother Wren under the eaves, hurriedly put down the plate in his hand, approached and saluted: "Grandma Tan is here."
He smiled and led her in.
Over the years, Yuzhu and Ruqing have been coming and going for a long time, anyway, they live close, go out and turn a corner, Yuzhu does not like to go out, and Ruqing often comes to sit and sit.
The two often take the food list provided by Ruan's mother to toss in Yuzhu's small kitchen, Ruqing has no small kitchen in his own home, and every time he comes, he has to have a good time before he stops, and he has to borrow Yuzhu's grooming utensils to cover up the traces of the crime, so as not to go home and be nagged by the old lady of the Xu family.
Such days did not end until Ruqing got married, although the days were not long, but the relationship between the two grew rapidly.
"Grandma Tan, why are you only here now" Yuzhu didn't bother to get up, pointed to the chair next to him, and continued to feed Xiao Xun.
"Hmph, there are still ten days before you will change the second wife of the Cheng family" Ruqing was quick to speak, reacted and hurriedly remedied: "You have taken a big advantage, marrying in is a wife, the province is like us, there are elders everywhere when you enter the door, and you are inferior everywhere."
While carefully looking at Yuzhu's expression.
"Don't worry, I'm feeling bad."
Yuzhu finished feeding a piece of snacks, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, washed in a basin of warm water brought by Hua Zhen, and let Zaoyuan take a cotton cloth to absorb the water, smeared a thin layer of almond oil, and said with a smile: "I'm the laziest, so don't think about this."
By the way, you just came over from your mother's side, tell me, what is the situation of the dowry gift given by the Cheng family" Although she doesn't point to those dowry gifts, and the emperor's work must be done enough, she is still a little curious.
In the past, Yumei was a flash marriage, and I didn't see it at all; Red beans are royal marriages, which are different from ordinary ones; Yulan is basically a naked marriage, Cui's face project is in place, and the face project of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion seems to be more in place; The two cousins' weddings were only given as gifts, because they were busy with the relatives of the second brother Lin Zongji at those times; The only normal Ruqing sister's relatives haven't been able to go to the front to see, because all the ladies who went to Daohe stayed in the house to drink tea and talk, and they couldn't run to a bunch of wives by themselves, it was their turn, and they were still a little nervous Ruqing snorted out laughing, took a sip of tea, touched Xiao Xun's short nose that ran to her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although I didn't take a closer look, I can see that the yard is full, and it will dazzle people at a glance, and I can't be wrong." ” It's really not wrong, Yuzhu slipped into Cui's courtyard at night, and when he saw the dowry piled up in the room, he was also careful and jumped for a while.
Although she has been pampered by the Cui family, Qinggao has no problem at all, and she can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when she sees so many gold beads and jade.
This is good, she trusts money more than people. gd1806102:
