29, dowry

King Dun looked fondly at the calculating little woman in his arms, and his heart was full of tenderness. He knew very well that Cheng Yuanjia didn't need to talk to him at all. Since she said it, it must have been implemented. The officials of the royal palace are all of good rank, and they are generally appointed by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. However, although he has his own royal palace, he has never asked for an order to open a government office. First of all, once the government office is opened, you must hold a certain official position in the court. Now the situation in the court is strange, and breaking in will disrupt the deployment of the second brother. Second, once there is an exclusive official, the cost will be huge. Even if these people receive the salary of the court, the usual rewards will definitely be indispensable, which is too much pressure for the king of Dun, who is still in a poor state.

However, after the big marriage, neither of these two problems exists. As the granddaughter-in-law of Prince Qian, the old prince stood behind him with a clear flag to support him, and no one dared not say a word. However, what Cheng Yuanjia brought was a huge financial wealth that was so eye-catching. Not to mention rewards, there was no problem in supporting the whole capital for several years.

The fiefdom of King Dun is in Jianzhou, southwest of the capital, with a radius of 300 miles and a population of about 100,000. It is not rich or poor. Within a month after the establishment of the fiefdom, Cheng Yuanjia's caravan entered Jianzhou in large numbers, and at the same time, the population migrated from other places. Now half a year has passed, and the development of Jianzhou is still relatively satisfactory to her. However, the local official's behavior was not what she wanted. She was about to be cruel and let the fat rats spit out all the leftovers. As for whether these officials have the support of other families and the background of other forces, it is not within her consideration. At present, there is no one she dares to provoke. What she lacks now is the identity of a famous man.

King Dun and Cheng Yuanjia are happily calculating about the wedding, and the emperor's mood is not very good. Cheng Yuanjia suddenly changed from a beautiful and gentle little Lori to a cruel Rasha girl, and this transformation gap is really big. After Cheng Yuanjia left his imperial study that day, he was so scared that he fell ill. After the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, it's not a serious illness. It's just that I've been tired recently and my body is a little depreciating. I just need to take a few pills to recuperate. But the emperor himself knew very well that he had been punished by Cheng Yuanjia. No matter how the royal doctor treated him, he would not want to live the rest of his life comfortably. The saddest thing is that his life is in the hands of Cheng Yuanjia. He can only do it according to her requirements. Even so, he has no chance to recover. As an emperor, he feels too aggrieved. Unfortunately, his grievance can only be rotten in his stomach, but he can't explain it to anyone.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the day before the wedding, people in the capital were looking forward to it, waiting for the noble gentleman of the Cheng family to carry the dowry. The Cheng family is the richest man in the world and the mother of the Empress Dowager. It is originally a rich style. This time, the married woman is not only the direct lady, but also the prince of the royal family. The Guangdun Palace has been hired for 180 yuan. How much does it take to get rid of this dowry?

In the morning, the two lieutenants of the East Battalion took their soldiers to report to the Cheng family. Two thousand people unloaded their armor and put on the crimson servant clothes specially prepared. The two carried a box and marched from Cheng's mansion to Dun's mansion.

So, people in the capital were shocked.

Not to mention those exquisite and luxurious furniture, the dowry team that can never be seen at the end makes those who think they are rich bow their heads in shame. The good people began to speculate about how much dowry His Royal Highness had to marry, but they never had an accurate number. It was not until the person in charge of sending the list sent the list to the Dunwang Mansion that everyone really understood what wealth was.

This time, Cheng Yuanjia's dowry is 1,314, with more than 2,000 shops, a hundred manor, nearly a thousand farms, and ten thousand hectares of fertile land. As for the gold and silver at the bottom of the box, it is said that there are too many, and I don't bother to add it. One thousand two gold tickets and ten thousand two silver tickets are directly filled with three large boxes. Zi, the six people most famous for their brute force in the army, were carried over with difficulty.

King Dun took this valuable dowry list and didn't come to his senses for a long time. I know that Cheng Yuanjia is rich, but it's too scary to be rich to this extent.

With the dowry, the pendant responsible for placing the furniture, stood in front of the king of Dun with an apologetic face and said, "My lady said that these are only taken out on the surface. No matter how many, it is a little difficult for the Cheng family to explain. After all, most of the Cheng family's industries still belong to the Cheng family's public or He has everything. And the young lady said that the real wealth is not these, but herself. As long as she is here, these things are not valuable at all.

King Dun nodded uninitiatedly and remembered the huge world comparable to the Great Wei Dynasty and the tens of millions of people living there in the nine-star ring in Cheng Yuanjia's hand. He suddenly became enlightened. No matter how grand the dowry is, it is not enough to put it on the level of the nine-star ring. It is true that as Cheng Yuanjia said, real wealth It's her.

After putting the dowry furniture, the pendant took out a gorgeous set of prince's wedding dress from the wardrobe and respectfully brought it to the king of Dun and said, "Your Majesty, this is the big wedding dress we have prepared for you. Please be sure to wear this dress to welcome your wedding tomorrow."

At least the king of Dun is also a prince. His big wedding dress has been prepared for him for a long time, but he still accepted the dress without hesitation and told the maid to wear it for him tomorrow. No matter how good the things made by the Gongli Bureau are, there is no such thing as Cheng Yuanjia's heart.

The king of Qi came to look at the groom's dress and was surprised, "Is this material a silk cloud brocade?" Didn't this kind of weaving lose a hundred years ago?

"It's the silk cloud brocade, but it's not lost, it's the manufacturing method that has been taken back. Now the only one who can take out this kind of silk brocade is our young lady. The pendant said calmly.

Tianzhi Yunjin is a top satin that was popular a hundred years ago. It is characterized by clouds and fog rising on the fabric as the light changes, which is the emperor's favorite to make dragon robes. However, because of the difficulty of weaving, there are only a few horses a year, which is not enough for the emperor, and there is no ability to provide it to others. Moreover, in the past ten years, the Jiangnan weaving family Wenjia, which weaves this fabric, announced the tragic death of the only weaver who can weave. No one inherits this craft and can no longer provide it. The king of Qi could recognize this fabric only because the last time he went to the treasury to search for the betrothal gift for his brother, he saw the only two remaining carefully preserved stocks. However, because the quantity is too small, and the color is not suitable for wedding clothes, and this fabric cannot be dyed, Qi Wang did not think about those two fabrics.

The sky-woven cloud brocade used in this wedding dress is obviously specially made for this wedding. On the red background, the clouds and fog seem to have a spiritual texture, and there are several four-claw dragons looming, which is rare and more gorgeous than what the King of Qi saw in the treasury. The embroidery used for decoration on the wedding dress is like the most exquisite fine brush painting. The dense stitches and the embroidery threads that are so thin that they can't be seen by the naked eye make the king of Qi look straight. This embroiderer, even the emperor's dragon robe is not as good as possible.

"Is this embroidered by your lady?" The king of Qi couldn't believe it.

"That's not true. Not everyone can embroider these embroiders. Even a small plum blossom needs to be embroidered by a skilled embroiderer for more than ten days. How can my lady have so much time?" The pendant didn't put gold on Cheng Yuanjia's face and said, "This dress, together with the lady's one, has been embroidered by ten top embroiderers for five years. How can it be done in a short time?"

The king of Qi looked at the four-clawed dragon on the fabric in disbelief and said, "Your lady is really good at it. You knew you were going to marry the prince five years ago."

The pendant rudely expressed her contempt.

The king of Qi touched his nose and said that he was helpless that he was despised by a maid. Although he is the respect of the King of Qi, the people around Cheng Yuanjia are not what he can do. Especially this pendant. Around her, the king of Qi felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

In the view of the king of Qi, Cheng Yuanjia herself is in a special situation and is destined to marry into the royal family. The object of marriage is the prince, which is for sure. The meaning of the pendant is very simple. In fact, the pattern on the sky weaving cloud brocade is not woven, but reflected in a special way, so no matter what kind of pattern is, it is not a problem.

The Cheng family belongs to Cheng Yuanjia's yard. Cheng Yuanjia looked at the wedding dress in her hand with a happy face. After living for three thousand years, it was the first time to get married, and it was the same as my beloved. In the world of cultivation, marriage is not very important. Generally, it is just that the elders of both sides sit down and negotiate, and then both men and women roll together. However, in the secular world, this kind of life event is very important, especially the marriage of the prince, which involves the majesty of the royal family, which is even more grand. Compared with the wedding ceremony of other princes, the wedding ceremony of King Dun is absolutely super-standard. The king of Qi can't wait to use the specifications of the prince's wedding, and with the participation of Cheng Yuanjia, he can't keep a low profile. Cheng Yuanjia is still very satisfied with this. If it hadn't been for marrying the king of Dun, why would she have quarreled with the emperor until now?
