Chapter 158 Dowry 1

"At home..." Huang Jingjie's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was faintly worried: "I haven't been home for many years."

"Yes, you haven't been back for years. The fifth brother got married, and the second master came in person. Didn't you say that the old man was not in good health? Alas, years go by really fast. When I went back the year before last, the old man was still very tough. Speaking of which, if the old man left, would he really pick up the second master? If only the uncle were still there." Grandma Le Si is very worried. The head of the Huang family, the head of the family, heard that he had fallen ill just after the Spring Festival and has never recovered. After all, he is in his 70s. With this disease, the hearts of the Huang clan fluctuated.

The Huang family has not made a fortune for a long time. Mr. Huang's grandfather carried a burden and sold sesame oil for half his life. He saved some money and was about to buy a few mu of land, but his son fell ill. He was a serious illness and his money was spent. His son had not recovered. The old man was helpless, so he had to take the rest of more than a dozen taels of silver and people. Running to do business on the grassland, who knew that he came back with half a load of silver for the first trip. From then on, the fortune was out of control. By the time Mrs. Huang was born, his family was already rich and famous.

Mr. Huang's three brothers, and Mr. Huang's father set a rule before his death. In the future, the position of the Huang family should be selected from the three virtuous direct descendants to live in. There are five brothers in the Huangjing Festival, the long room, that is, the eldest son of Mr. Huang, who is smart and strong, and treats people well. They all say that Qing is from Lan, and he is the successor of the patriarch recognized by the whole clan. Who knows that he died seven or eight years ago, Huang Jingming, the second son of Mr. Huang, is not bad, but he can't follow the dead uncle. Than. The second wife is the only son. She has been studying since she was a child. Unfortunately, she can't read it. If she does business again, she can neither endure hardship nor get hands on it. She simply goes home to live a rich and free life. Huang Jingjie is the eldest son of Sanfang, and there is also a younger brother under him.

Huang Jingjie has been very smart since he was a child. Mr. Huang's father loved his eldest grandson the most, but he was most optimistic about his fourth grandson. Huang Jingjie remembered his grandfather's love and expectations for him and came to his mind. Xiaoyu was brought back by his grandfather. Huang Jingjie will never forget the first time he saw Xiaoyu and saw Xiaoyuzhi. Before, he never thought that a little girl could look so well. They all said that the fifth prince was beautiful, and the corners of Huang Jingjie's mouth showed a smile. The fifth brother was like his mother, but how could he be half as good-looking as his mother?

Grandfather said that Xiaoyu was a girl of the Huang family. Huang Jingjie sighed in pain and silently. Xiaoyu became a girl of the Huang family. Later, she entered the palace, gave birth to her fifth brother, and then died.

"Shilang?" Seeing that Huang Jingjie came up again, Grandma Le couldn't help shouting. Huang Jingjie came to her mind and exhaled, "I'm thinking about the past. If only the eldest brother was here. Qingfeng Building is the industry hosted by the eldest brother in those years. The second brother is not generous enough and can't compare with the eldest brother." Huang Jingjie said a few words and smiled quickly: " I casually said, don't take it to heart. The old man is a shrewd person. We don't have to worry about family affairs. The fifth brother's daughter-in-law has a Sanli market, and we have to break up. It's not easy to put the fifth brother's face. This time, the gift can be handed over to the fifth brother's daughter-in-law. I have to go out quickly. There are still a lot of things to do.

Huang Jingjie stood up as he spoke, and Grandma Le Si hurriedly got up to send him out.

The busy days are the fastest, and in a blink of an eye, it comes to the day when the fifth princes get married.

The day before the dowry, Li Tian's six shops and seven or eight shops and restaurants in the capital were decorated with red posters. For three days from this day, everything in the shop was sold at half price, and the stalls in the scattered market at the door were also laid out, which caused a sensation in the whole capital for a moment. Such a handwriting But it is unprecedented.

The guys in the six shops were busy in the shop, and the shopkeepers gathered in the Yongguo Mansion. The dowry that started the next morning was not a trivial matter. The Yongguo Mansion could not find so many strong men carrying the dowry. The shopkeepers were busy for a few days and looked at all the old men in the capital. All of them are hired to carry the dowry and dole. Fortunately, the day of the prince's wedding has been set for a long time. People in the capital generally do not set a man to marry a woman on this day. Whoever has nothing to do to grab the limelight with the royal family.

The shopkeeper Wang is responsible for the dowry. More than 20 shopkeepers who sent the dowry to Beijing with the capital and other places. The shopkeepers are all red brocade tunics, wearing gold and jade belts, and the big red gold soft feet. The shopkeeper Wang is under the commander-in-chief. He is in charge of his respective duties and directing and dispatching a large number of dowry teams. Fortunately, the shopkeepers are all They are well-informed and have gone through major events. Although there are many people, they are still well-organized.

Li clan leader, the old man Li Zhongzhi looked at it carefully for a while, twisted his beard with satisfaction, turned around and went into the house to help his son with the day he welcomed his marriage the next day. Li Tian got married. This was a big event in the Li clan. He had already picked good hand. On the day of the wedding, he could not lose the decent of the Li family and hurt the face of the fifth sister.

The dowry was summoned the first day. They talked about rewards and punishments, queuing up to take a bath and change clothes. The clothes carrying the dowry have rules, black clothes and red belts. The men originally prepared all of them. Unexpectedly, this trip, the owner will first issue a set of red-rimmed and black brocade clothes. After carrying the dowry, the clothes will belong to everyone. The friends are very excited. This set of brocade clothes is at least two taels of silver, even if they don't pay for the work!

The government of Yongguo Mansion was brightly lit all night. When the sky was bright, everything was ready. The two shopkeepers led the lead out of the gate of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion. Behind them, the two of them lifted up and carried their dowry out of the door.

The fifth prince yawned and stood in front of the elegant window on the second floor of the Qingfeng Building and looked at the Yongguo Mansion not far away and said, "Who chooses the time? How could anyone start lifting the dowry so early? It's still early."

"Qin Tianjian didn't choose so early, and Li Fu said he was afraid it would be too late." Huang Jingjie responded with a smile, and the fifth prince said, "Are you afraid it's too late? How much dowry does she have? Do you want to lift it for a day? What about the dowry list? I don't seem to have seen it?"

"The dowry list is still the one in the detailed post. I asked once before, and it was said that it was too late to sort it out. Later, it hasn't been sent. I didn't let anyone ask again for fear of making gossip."

"Well," the fifth prince yawned again: "Come on, the formation is quite big." The fifth prince moved forward and looked down at the furniture that came out first.

"It's not good that you don't see the second brother." Huang Jingjie stood next to the fifth prince, looked down at the dowry, and advised, "He came here specially to congratulate you on getting married." The fifth prince was too lazy to see Huang Jingming. In and out of Huang Jingming's words, he already suspected that Huang Jingjie had tamped with it.
