Chapter 160 Dowry 3
"This is royal, silver is as useless as spoiling." Ye Guifei half closed her eyes, and her plain voice covered countless emotions. Lv Shanggong's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and didn't even dare to flatter her. She knew the meaning of her words.
In the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall, the official put down the red pen in his hand with a tired face, and the little waiter standing next to him moved very briskly. He took a step forward and accurately cushioned only on the official's waist. The official leaned comfortably on the pillow and looked at the eunuch Zheng and asked slowly, "Take it back?"
"Yes," the eunuch Zheng bowed and moved his fingers. The little servants in the palace were understanding and retreated clean in the blink of an eye. Eunuch Zheng opened the small bag of silk in his hand, took out Li Tian's big and thick dowry book and presented it up. The official glanced at the book but didn't answer it. He half closed his eyes tiredly and said, "How many?"
"The physical objects can't be counted for a while. There are 600,000 taels of silver in the box, 17 other fields and 38 shops." Eunuch Zheng grinned with a toothache, and the official suddenly opened his eyes: "Have you finished the dowry?"
"Not yet. It will take two hours younger." Empress Zheng bowed and said, the official moved and sat up, reached for the dowry book, slowly turned it over, put the booklet on several times, stared at the booklet for a long time, and slowly fainted on his face: "No wonder the three government office in front of the hall to protect the dowry." After stopping for a long time, he said to himself in a low voice, "This is his blessing. Qi.
Eunuch Zheng looked at the official family doubtfully. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. The official family didn't know what he was thinking. His eyes were shrinking and loosened, and the smile on his face gradually became stronger. He raised his hand and patted it in the book: "It's not easy for Nizi to keep such a big family business."
"No, it's so secretive. Li Zhongxian is really unique in the Li family, and he also answered that sentence, a good daughter-in-law, three generations of good descendants." Eunuch Zheng sighed that the official seemed to evoke countless memories by this sentence. He looked out of the window distractedly, and the sadness and nostalgia on his face were strong.
The continuous and seemingly endless dowry has caused a sensation all over the city. Everyone in the capital's eyes are on the dowry. Everyone is talking about what has passed, how much it is worth, and how much the dowry has been raised. How many dowry should be converted into a few lifts it? How much silver will be in the final box? This Li How rich is my wife... Some people even fight against you or me in order to fight for these numbers.
Eunuchs from all over the capital came out early in the morning to watch the bustle, from stunned to jealousy to numbness, and they couldn't sit still. They found all kinds of lame reasons to come out to see this unprecedented man, but they were afraid that they would have to have no future dowry.
In the elegant room on the second floor of Qingfeng Building, Mrs. Xu came with Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke to watch the fun. At this time, it was already full of people. Fortunately, Qingfeng Tower regarded Mrs. Xu and others as the guests among the guests. Seeing more and more people, Min was busy discussing with the people in the elegant room next door and moving them to the Five Emperors. In the elegant room where the son is located, the two rooms are combined into one room, which can barely sit down.
The fifth prince had long been dragged back to the house to receive the dowry by the eldest prince to prepare for tomorrow's wedding.
Li Yunshang stood two or three steps behind the window, staring at the prosperity and wealth flowing downstairs. The low words of Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Xu Shangshu next to her clearly reached her ears:
"...If I hadn't told you that Sister Tian's fate would have been bad, Brother Jing would have married." Mrs. Gao looked at the rich downstairs guiltily. Mrs. Huang waved her hand and said, "Don't say that. Look, such a rich and noble sister Tian is such a character. How can Brother Jing stand it? Isn't there such a saying? How big the life is and how blessed it is. Brother Jing doesn't have this life, we are all." Mrs. Huang's last sentence was vague, but Mrs. Gao understood and nodded quickly, "I also think so. Brother Hai is also a blessing. I'm also confused. How can I say this? Sister Tian is really blessed. She is the only one who deserves a fairy like the fifth master.
"It's not!" Mrs. Huang quickly answered, and the two tacitly boasted how matched the marriage was and how blessed Tian was.
Li Yunshang was secretly relieved. Xu Jie found Li Yunshang, took her arm, pulled her forward, and looked downstairs and whispered, "Sister Tian's usual food and clothing are no different from ours. I didn't expect to be rich and noble. Do you know she has so many dowries?" Li Yunshang reluctantly squeezed out a smile and shook her head. Xu Jie said, "I forgot that she is not close to your house. I don't know if Brother Jiu will..." Xu Jie's words did not go on, but Li Yunshang's heart was raised in the air by this half of the sentence. She couldn't speak for a long time. Yes, what would Jiulang think? Will it be her fault?
"Sister Tian's dowry is too face-to-face. Why does she have so many dowry?! I'm going to die of jealousy!" In front of the window next to her, Ye Shi Niang was pounding her chest again. Lin Ke gave her a white look. Yu Yaofang squeezed her mouth and smiled and said, "Which one are you jealous? I'm afraid that people all over the capital are jealous. Alas, Sister Tian is so good and there are so many dowry. It's really a cheap fifth master."
"How beautiful the fifth master is!" Ye Twelve Niang hurriedly defended the fifth prince.
"People say that she is talented and beautiful, but this time she is a rich woman! It's a pity that the prince doesn't welcome him, otherwise he must be embarrassed tomorrow!" In Lin Ke's mind, her cousin Jiang Hong is the best match for Tian's sister. Since Li Tian's marriage to the fifth prince, it has become her biggest hobby to find opportunities to stab the fifth prince from time to time. Jiang Shan giggled as Lin Ke said. When she heard the words of the sinister fifth prince, she was absolutely happy and tired. Yu Yaofang hit Lin Ke anly and patted Jiang Shan and said, "That's Sister Tian's husband! Don't talk like that in the future!"
"The man is as good as the man. Anyway, the fifth master is good-looking! Alas, if only the fifth master could welcome you tomorrow!" Ye Shiniang only loves the beauty of the fifth master. It's sad to think that the fifth prince doesn't have to be welcomed him in person. The groom's greeting is the only opportunity for the bride's little sisters to flirt with the groom. Unfortunately, the prince does not have to welcome him in person.
Mrs Cui and her sister-in-law Mrs. Yuan stood side by side in front of the window, looking sadly at the shining dowry team downstairs that people can't look directly. She sighed as if she didn't care about these dowry. She was worried about her son. From April to now, half a year later, I don't know how many people came to propose marriage, but she was in her son When this topic was mentioned in front of her, her son didn't even let her finish a word.
"Sister Tian is married, and she can tell Brother Hong about her daughter-in-law after the Spring Festival." Mrs. Yuan saw the sad face on Mrs. Cui's face and comforted her clearly. Mrs. Cui sighed gently, "That's what I think. Brother Hong has had a lot of ideas since he was a child."
"The Xu family didn't say anything about kissing." Mrs. Yuan glanced at Mrs. Gao in front of the next window: "Don't worry."
"Well," Mrs. Cui also turned her head and looked at Mrs. Gao. In fact, what does Xu Sihai have to do with Jiang Hong? However, I feel that I am not the only one who has done this, and there is a comfort.
When Mrs. Xu was tired, she sat at the table and drank tea and talked to Princess Jiangjun: "... I didn't expect that Sister Tian really married the prince, but the fifth master's temperament is that we have all experienced it. We know how many more things this romantic temperament has caused, which makes people angry! Forget it, let's not talk about it. This dowry has been carried away.
"Relax," Princess Jiang looks much older and speaks much softer than before: "Sister Tian is not like you," Princess Jiang paused and then continued, "It's not like me. She is a talented person. Just look at these dowries, we don't know that her grandmother left such a large share for her. Industry, just keeping her mouth like a bottle, is not what ordinary people can do. Don't worry, she has no shortage of tricks, and there is so much money, how can she be angry?
"I hope so." Mrs. Xu frowned worried and sighed slightly. She felt unlucky when she wanted to say something. After all, it was Sister Tian's happy life of dowry: "Is there anything wrong with Dalang?" Mrs. Xu changed the topic. A few months ago, Lin Yangfeng made a mistake. Originally, she thought it was a small mistake, so she could secretly make up for it. She privately consulted Jiang Hong and discussed the idea. Who knew that there was another mistake halfway. This time, the mistake could not be concealed, and it was almost uncontrollable.
"It's all." Princess Jiang's eyes were painful and tired, and she didn't care much about losing money, but Dalang was afraid that he would not be able to take the job for a while. It was when she started up. Princess Jiangjun raised her hand and pressed her chest. Mrs. Xu hurriedly comforted her, "That's fine. Safety is the most important thing. There are many opportunities in the future."
"I also think so. By the way, it's another year, and Sister Tian has been married. Why don't you hurry up with Yaoyao's marriage?" Princess Jiang didn't want to mention this painful thing anymore. Mrs. Xu waved her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, she doesn't want to get married early. I also want to keep her for a few more years. Let's talk about it one night later." The topic of the two turned to their children's marriage and then pulled it all the way away.
Fanlou at the corner of the Royal Street is also the only place for the dowry. In the elegant room on the second floor, Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai stood silently side by side in front of the window, looking at the golden dowry under the window.
"Give a family, is it for this dowry?" Xu Sihai's tone was slightly cold. After a long time, Jiang Hong shook his head and lowered his head and said, "I don't think so, but," Jiang Hong turned his head and looked at Xu Sihai: "If it can make everyone feel this way, it must be good for her." Xu Sihai blinked: "Do you think she thinks so? Um, yes, this dowry shop is too flamboyant. She is not such a vulgar person!" Jiang Hong looked at Xu Sihai with admiration and said, "You are really much calmer, and the officials are getting older, alas!" Jiang Hong sighed heavily. Xu Sihai's eyes became more and sharp. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Hong and said, "It's me... I can't stand her. If anything happens to her, I will never do anything!"
Jiang Hong glanced at him and smiled and said nothing.
