Chapter 159 Dowry 2
The fifth prince didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't answer Huang Jingjie's words at all. The smile on Huang Jingjie's face gradually became bitter. He turned his head and looked downstairs. His heart was extremely sour for a moment. He knew the fifth brother's temper best. He said that he was good at himself. If it was not good, he was selfish. He had feelings with him, but he would not delay this affection. Reaching the whole Huang family, what will happen to the Huang family if the old master is not there?
"Is the old man's illness still not getting better?" For a long time, the fifth prince asked abruptly.
"Yes." Huang Jingjie was a little surprised and replied quickly. The fifth prince turned his head and looked at him and said, "You haven't returned to Datong Mansion for more than ten years, have you?" Datong Mansion is where the Huang family gathered. Huang Jingjie looked at the fifth prince. I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this. The fifth prince shook his folding fan and shook it and said, "If the tree is big, you can score points. If you remember Lao Wu, just let Lao Wu move to the capital." Lao Wu is Huang Jingyi, the direct brother of Huang Jingjie. Huang Jingjie stared at the fifth prince and couldn't speak. He really saw him correctly. His relationship with himself would not benefit the Huang family.
The downstairs has become lively. Qingfeng Building, as a place to entertain big merchants who have business relations with the Huang family and Li Tian, has refused outsiders since yesterday. At this time, the elegant rooms facing the street are full of curious people who asked for a place to see the dowry through various relationships. The street downstairs is even more crowded. The gate of Qingfeng Building It's best to look at the dowry. Not only can you see the bustle clearly, but there are also a few tea and snacks in the door. It's really thoughtful.
In addition to the first pair of gold embedded jade, it is the yellow pear furniture in Qingyishui. These furniture styles are simple and generous, without any decoration, and there is no popular carved gold, and they are not very eye-catching. These furnitures are all things Li Tian wants to use. She will not It is dazzling and made into a gorgeous and uncomfortable style.
After the furniture, the next lifting of the dowry made people open their eyes. The dowry is too different. According to the rules, when they lift the dowry, there is an object on a suitcase. In the early years, Li Tian's mother and aunt, the four people who carried the dowry that caused a sensation in the capital were big box with objects on it, but today this The dowry lift is four layers, full of things from top to bottom, at least equal to other people's four-lifting dowry!
The order of the dowry is clear. After the furniture, there are all kinds of gold utensils. In front of the head, there are four red gold Ruyi in the top floor of the dowry. The second, third and fourth layers are all kinds of gold-inlaid treasure bonsai, reflecting the morning sun, which makes people unable to open their eyes. The upper layer of the dowry is full of various colors of gold vessels, from the decoration to fruit. Plates and plates, wine flags, tent hook candlesticks, all kinds of jewelry, all kinds of unexpected, all kinds of unexpected, flowing golden light all the way from the Duke's Mansion to the five prince's mansion, across more than half of the capital, the front of the red gold Ruyi into the fifth prince's mansion, and the last golden weapon has not yet left the Yongguo Duke's mansion.
The fifth prince was stunned and dared to love that her dowry was red and golden. Who would be disgusting to be so vulgar?
"How can there be such a dowry?" The fifth prince couldn't help shouting, Huang Jingjie also looked straight at the golden dowry? This is too... Even businessmen like him feel too tacky.
"Look at the back again. It's only been more than an hour. Yesterday, I heard from the shopkeeper Wang that in order to carry the dowry, he hired all the veterans in the capital. It's only been more than an hour later. Let's take a look." Huang Jingjie explained uncertainly that he regretted not sending someone to ask for a dowry book earlier, which made people tremble.
The golden light has caused a sensation in the capital all the way. Such a dowry and so many gold tools have never happened. In the market, sisters called their sister-in-law, greeted relatives and friends, and all rushed to the roadside of the dowry to see the strangeness. Li Tian has never had this dowry before, and no one has been able to achieve 1% after that. That's missed this It's lively. Decades later, I still hate that I don't have eyes.
There were too many people coming to see the dowry. Fortunately, Houfu Yin saw a lot of opportunities. On the one hand, he urgently ordered Guo Tuiguan to take the government officials to maintain the evacuation. On the other hand, he urgently ordered someone to notify the eldest prince and transferred the three government offices in front of the hall to maintain it. Several intersections were built a wall, which ensured the dowry team to move forward smoothly.
Guo Tuiguan kept wiping his sweaty head with his sleeves and looked at the same sweaty staff Mr. Hong and said with a wry smile, "No wonder the two brothers of Ningyuan Houfu were so cruel, the dowry of the little wife of the Li family..." Guo Tuiguan turned his head and looked at the jade team that was more dazzling than the goldware in front of him and grinned and didn't know what to say. What's good? Mr. Hong looked straight at the pile of ancient jade tripods of different sizes passing in front of him and sighed, "No wonder he married the fifth master, so he rushed to this dowry..."
"Yes." Guo Tuiguan answered clearly: "In addition to the official family, who can afford to marry? I don't know how much is left." Mr. Hong reached out and touched the stack of silver tickets in his arms and said, "Listen to what the shopkeeper said just now, at least it will take until the afternoon. I think this silver ticket will be given to everyone in a moment. They don't want to be happy. They will divide the silver tickets as soon as possible, and everyone will be tired and happy."
"Well, that's it." Guo Pushu stretched his neck and stared at the dowry flowing in front of him. Mr. Hong did not dare to look more. He took a few steps back and counted the head to share the money.
The eldest prince got the letter, looked around, saw that everything was right, and went straight to the Qingfeng Tower.
The fifth prince has sent someone to get the dowry book. The rule of sending the dowry book is to be put in the dowry first. The fifth prince took the dowry book and opened a page. When he saw the eldest prince coming up, he hurriedly welcomed him in. The eldest prince stood in front of the window, looked at the Duke of Yongguo from afar and asked, "How much has it been?"
"It seems that it's still early." The fifth prince turned over the dowry book and said, "I just got here, and there are still many in the back." The eldest prince turned around and took the dowry book handed over by the fifth prince, turned over the various clothing, embroidery and antique calligraphy and paintings, and went directly to the back to see the number of silver and the dense rows of Zhuangzi and shops. He took a soft breath and looked at the fifth prince with no expression. After a long time, he smiled and said, "You took the God of Wealth. I got married and went home. No wonder I played throwing lots when I was a child, and you came back to catch the money. How is it better than your family? The eldest prince turned his head and joked with Huang Jingjie. Huang Jingjie bowed and said, "If it's a small family, it's really not comparable unless dozens of small families are added together."
"What does she mean?" The fifth prince's eyebrows were knotted: "Who is this for? At that time, her mother's four people carried the dowry and carried the box. What's wrong with carrying the box? Look at her, she is all outside, for fear that others don't know, and no one in the capital has to show off. What does that mean? Am I going to make her dowry?"
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the fifth prince who was either angry or awkward. After a while, he laughed and said, "If she hadn't married you, she wouldn't have done this. She also knew that you could protect her." The fifth prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he hummed angrily. He snapped the folding fan. The eldest prince didn't know what he remembered, and his eyes showed a smile. He turned his head and looked at the ancient inkstones passing by like water downstairs for a while. After a while, he turned around and looked at the fifth prince and smiled, "by the Ministry of Ceremonies told you? Question mark Dad's son said that he will let you welcome him tomorrow.
"You and the third brother and the fourth brother didn't welcome you. Why do you want me to welcome you?" The fifth prince shouted, and the eldest prince also spread his hands and smiled puzzled, "I asked the official Zheng, and the official Zheng said that this was what Master Jian meant and said it was for your good."
"For my own good?" The fifth prince shouted strangely, and when he mentioned Master Jian, he was sulking. He heard that it was he who calculated that he and the wife of the Li family: "What does he mean? Before she entered the door, I was down and down?
"How can this Qin Ying and Ba Buba get involved?" The eldest prince scolded with a straight face. The fifth prince turned his head and said nothing more, only shaking the fan in his hand.
In a teahouse not far from the fifth prince's mansion, the fourth prince stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and looked blankly at the dowry team downstairs as if there would be no end. Ye Shusheng's face turned pale. This dowry is comparable to the whole Dongyang County royal palace, maybe more. If his aunt knew that Mrs. Li had so many dowries, would she have followed the fourth master's wishes and let the fourth master marry Mrs. Li?
In the royal palace of Dongyang County, Mrs. Sun half-closed her eyes and listened to the mother-in-law's continuous reply about what dowry had been passed. She was glancholy and uneasy. She and Mrs. Lin have been friends since childhood. At the beginning, even if she did not know the Marquis of Ningyuan, it clearly. Mrs. Lin and Li Tian's mother's two How many times has she calculated the dowry? How can there be so many? Only two-three of today's dowry can produce so many. Mrs. Lin is so good at management. Mrs. Lin has said many times that in terms of management, Sister Tian is green from the blue... Mrs. Sun felt a burst of regret in her heart. If the fourth brother had such help, how could she worry about money?!
Can she point it to the fifth master for this dowry? I don't know that she has so many dowries. Who else knows? Officials? Mrs. Sun subconsciously shivered. If it was an official, what was his intention? Help the fifth master? Or let him be a rich prince?
Ye Guifei also heard people report the dowry. Unlike Mrs. Sun, she didn't pay much attention to it. She sent the servant who reported the news, tilted back to the couch, and said leisurely, "This silver is useful or not. It depends on where it is. If it is a poor family, a few taels of silver are not great, but we This is royal. What is silver? How much money can she have with the royal family? Speaking of which, the most useless thing in this ban is silver. To put it bluntly, it's not good one day. If a white silk is rewarded, can silver save her?
"What the Empress said is extremely true." Lu Shanggong listened attentively and flattered from time to time.
