When the dowry arrived, Wen Wan also ran to watch the excitement.
The first thing to carry was the dowry book. The bright red silk tie is very festive. Then there are sixteen new tiles, symbolizing sixteen rooms. Twenty pieces of adobe symbolize twenty hectares of land. Then comes the furniture. All kinds of beds, couches, tables, tables, chairs, chests, Duobao boxes, stools, hangers, dressing mirrors, etc., are mostly made of huanghuali and nanmu, and the craftsmanship is exquisite.
????????????????????????????????? Ruyi and bonsai, all exuding wealth and nobility, filled with all kinds of porcelain, toiletries, rouge and gouache, bedding and clothes, needles and needles, shoes, socks, purses, etc.
What attracts the most attention is naturally the jewelry. Hairpins, phoenix hairpins, diamonds, earrings, ear pliers, necklaces, accessories, bracelets, bracelets, rings, flat squares, and fragmentary jewelry are all dazzling.
Wenwan looked at those things and realized that they would cost at least one to twenty thousand taels of silver. Marrying a girl to marry a girl will deplete the family's wealth. It would be better for me to only have one daughter in the future. Otherwise, just preparing a dowry for her daughter would be a headache.
Wen Wan was tired from looking at it, doing it all like this, who knows when it will be finished. There was a tremor, Wen Wan was dazzled. I am deeply impressed by ancient weddings. I am also happy for modern people.
After watching it all, I looked at Wen Wan all over.
"Princess, are you being dazzled? In fact, these are nothing, only sixty-four. When you get married, you will need at least one hundred and twenty-four dowries. If the emperor favors you, it will be doubled again. "Qing He looked at Wen Wan and couldn't help but laugh.
Wen Wan¡¯s eyes widened, this was too scary. That's nothing, Jesus. This silver is not silver, it is made of stone. Wen Wan was very depressed, looking at the excitement of the people around her. One hundred and twenty-four units, which would have to be doubled, which would be seven to eighty thousand taels. Fortunately, I have money, otherwise I don¡¯t know if I would be able to get married! Many years later, when Wen Wan got married, she saw her dowry list and recalled her words that day. It's all nonsense.
Qing He was very obedient and never mentioned business matters with Wen Wan again. Wenwan doesn't give anyone face, so naturally he won't treat her differently and give her face. In the Heng family, she couldn't find anyone who could make Wen Wan give in. So he never mentioned business matters. I only told her some common and fun things about the wedding, as well as some etiquette and rules. Wen Wan felt that she was quite knowledgeable and listened with great interest. The wedding was very lively. They were also noisy until late at night. Wen Wan went back after enjoying herself.
Early the next morning, Xia Yu dragged her up and said she wanted to drink tea from her new wife. There is also tea for the wife to drink. It¡¯s so interesting. Looking at the daughter-in-law, she is fair and clean. She is not very beautiful, but she looks very amiable. It seems that the eldest aunt has a good taste in choosing a wife.
The Duke and his wife are very satisfied with the new grandma, and their attitude is kind and friendly. The bride was very shy, and Shang Wei next to her always looked at his wife carefully, for fear that she would be tired.
Since it is a gift, it is natural to receive a gift. What everyone received were small things such as hand hats, purses, sachets, and fans. They were all very unique in workmanship and cute to look at. What Wen Wan got was a purse with two jade beads in it. As for whether there is anything in other people's things. I don¡¯t know about Wen Wan. After returning home, he threw it to Xia Yu and asked her to put it away.
After Shang Wei finished, it was his turn to clean the hairpin a few days later. The entire Rong family already lives in the five-in courtyard bought by Ping's mother. That was also the dowry that Ping's mother purchased for Qing Hairpin. In fact, it is subsidizing the Rong family. People from the Taira family have nothing to say.
Rong family. He was deprived of his title sixteen years ago, and in the past few years, no one has been able to use him. He has been living on Ping's mother's support. Grandma Rong, the head of the Rong family, has a sweet mouth and is very good at pleasing Ping's mother. Ping's mother gave a large amount of private money to the Rong family. The old man saw that she was only using his private room, so he turned a blind eye. But he took away her stewardship.
Qinghao¡¯s dowry is the same as Qingshui¡¯s, thirty-six units; compared with Qingjiu¡¯s, it¡¯s the same thing in name. But in fact, it is different. There are many dowries for the same number, some are valuable and some are not. Of course, the eldest lady will not favor one thing over another. The difference is that one aunt can make money and the other is honest.
Ping¡¯s mother met Wenwan several times, and she asked Wenwan to buy some jewelry for Qingqing. Nowadays, who doesn¡¯t know that Wen Wan is extremely rich? Wenwan pretends that she is not wearing ears.
¡°We are all sisters after all, so we shouldn¡¯t favor one over the other.¡± The old lady continued to beat Wen Wan. Wenwan adds a lot of things, and when the time comes, the Rong family will be the fat one.
Wen Wan is mute, and if she doesn¡¯t answer, the room immediately falls silent.
Ping¡¯s mother was very angry when she saw Wen Wan pretending to be stupid. Fortunately, he was clear-headed and knew what to do about his granddaughter. But soonThe idea was set on Shang Tang again.
"Come, this is my grandniece, Zhimei, who is also your cousin. She has a good appearance and is proficient in cooking. It is enough to accompany Shangtang. Shangtang, grandma plans to give it to you after the New Year. Engagement. When Shangtang gets out of the palace, we will let you get married, whether you win or not. You think that would be a good idea." Ping's mother was ready to settle the matter.
After hearing this, Shang Tang blushed and lowered his head. The eldest lady was a little unhappy after hearing this. The third young lady's face looked a little ugly after hearing this. She and her husband are planning to rely on the seventh young master in the future. If the seventh young master marries a daughter of the Rong family in the future, there will be no hope. He wanted to speak, but was stopped by the eldest lady.
After a few gentle strokes, Xia Yu said, "The princess said that she has already taken a fancy to everyone. She will only wait for the young master to go to the restaurant and win the Jinshi before she goes to propose marriage."
"Whose girl is it?" Ping's mother asked hurriedly.
"It hasn't been decided yet, so it's hard to say. But that girl's family is from a high family, and the girl's talent, appearance, and family background are all top-notch. Many matchmakers have stepped on the threshold of her family. Her parents asked It's quite harsh and keeps delaying. However, they like Shangtang very much and agree to get engaged as soon as Shangtang passes the exam." Xia Yu relayed her gentle words.
"You still have to win the election. If not" He quickly stopped talking. Somewhat angry, this is not a curse on his grandson. But as soon as I heard that he was top-notch in talent, appearance, and family background, my heart began to waver. this. But it is related to the grandson's career.
"Actually, the princess feels that Master Shangtang is not the only unmarried man of the right age in the house. Shang Shui and Shang Kuan are both good." There are several of them, but the problem is that they don't have such a rich sister. Can't support the Rong family. A hundred years later, the Rong family will have no one to rely on. But looking at Wen Wan's posture, she knew it was impossible.
Ping¡¯s mother was talking to her niece-in-law. The marriage was ruined. Grandma Rong was not depressed at all. She said, "Aunt, why do you want to marry such a crook to marry Wen Wan back to my family? She is so rich, and she is so good at making money. The Rong family married her back, but It's like holding a cornucopia at home, and the children and grandchildren of the Rong family will no longer have to worry about food and drink. "Auntie, you have to promise your niece."
"Wenwan can only get a marriage from the emperor. Do you think anyone who wants to marry her can marry her? That is your princess, and she has a title. Without a marriage, it is absolutely impossible." Ping's mother was a little angry. . It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t thought about it, but this alone is extremely difficult. In other words, basically impossible.
"What's so difficult about this? How did Princess Fuhui marry the Fifth Master back then? There are many ways, it just depends on whether aunt is willing or not. Aunt, just for the sake of the size of the Rong family, you will allow me to do this. Mother, please give me a break! Aunt, I beg you." Grandma Rong looked at Ping's mother and said a lot immediately. What ancestors. What kind of bloodline continues. Seeing Ping's mother hesitate, she knelt down in front of Ping's mother with runny nose and tears, and begged her hard. Ping's mother finally half hesitated and half agreed.
The mother-in-law next to Ping's mother sneered. After that, his face remained expressionless. soon. Mrs. Xu got the news. He sneered after hearing this.
"With the dirty things in their family, they also want to take advantage of the princess. The princess will never leave her side, not even the golden whip. Otherwise, if the princess has so much money, why not "How dare you make up your mind directly?" Mrs. Xu sneered. This group of people were fed by the Duke of Pingguo's government. Really, I don¡¯t care what those sons of my own are.
"Reveal this news to Wen Wan. Even though it's not of much use, it's still a good sale," Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
When Wen Wan knew the news, she found it a little funny. She was troubled by the absence of her cheap father during this period. Now her biological grandmother has gone crazy and came to plot against her like this. She was a princess personally granted the title of Emperor of the dynasty. Without the Emperor's blessing of marriage, it would be useless for anyone to try to get her. Not to mention the things that are in the quagmire of the Rong family, it is the Xungui family. With her wealth and the means of making money, there are probably people who want to take advantage of her. But no one has the courage to come out and be the first person. Why, because Wen Wan is protected by the emperor. There are several high-ranking people around to help.
I have no choice but to ruin my reputation. She's crazy. She's only eight years old this year. She wants that person to molest her and then force her to get married. There is such an interesting thing. I heard that a princess was married to a princess who was molested at the age of eight and her reputation was ruined.
Wenwan never understood why her cheap dad always had convulsions. When a woman provokes her with just a few words, she gets whipped, hard. He forced her to want to be whipped and whipped her hard with the whip. From this point of view, it seems that her cheap father's frequent brain twitching is completely inherited from her cheap grandmother. My mother has a brain problem, and my son also has a problem, and he still has the same problem.sick. Worse than madness.
Thinking about the magical second master again, Wen Wan was puzzled. She had scrapped two of her three biological sons. There is still one normal thing left, but this normal one was taught by the old Mr. Guo. Those who work as officials outside are taught by the old Mr. Guo. Of course, the gentle and cheap father was also taught by the old Guo Gong, but he inherited his mother's disease. Fortunately, the remaining one is normal and happens to be the mainstay of the family. Otherwise, Pingguo's mansion would have to be destroyed in the hands of this old woman. In a century-old family, the ancestral foundation was destroyed in the hands of an inexplicable woman. I believe that the ancestors of the Heike family would cry underground.
So, Wen Wan used to think that there was a saying that was really good. It is said that a prodigal son can only ruin one generation, but a fatuous and incompetent woman in charge can harm three generations of descendants. Seeing how dirty the Duke Ping's residence is now, the second master's reputation will bring harm to several generations.
"The eldest lady is virtuous and knows etiquette. There is nothing to say about how she treats others. At least Wen Wan feels that the eldest lady in the mansion is very good, and the children she teaches are all first-rate. But her cheap grandmother felt that she had not chosen the eldest lady herself, but that the old man had decided on it without her consent, so she was very picky about the eldest lady. He also supported a concubine to fight against the mistress of the house. In order to take care of her natal family, she has been reluctant to let go of her father-in-law and middle-age husband for more than 20 years. Every year, he earns several thousand taels from the Taira family to support his parents' family.
??????????????????????????????? It doesn¡¯t matter if you provide money to help your mother¡¯s family, no one has anything to say. But he actually wanted to get Grandma Rong into the mansion to take care of the house. If it weren't for the strong resistance of the old Duke and the current Duke, I might not know what this mansion is like. The old man had her help in the first place, and he was a soft-hearted person, so he had been very tolerant of her. Fortunately, the issue of principle has not wavered. She couldn't find a place to get angry. In the past few years, she had become less and less interested in the eldest lady. Instead, he valued An, the one from the fifth house who was good at coaxing people, but couldn't get on the stage.
Wen Wan doesn¡¯t understand. She is the grandmother of the He family. With four generations living under one roof, why not think about his own son! You can only help them for a while. After more than 20 years, you really have to put some effort into cultivating a few useful people to support the family. Why should I keep asking you for money? He took money from the Heng family to subsidize the Rong family, and a group of blood-sucking insects came out of the subsidize.
Wen Wan really can¡¯t figure it out. It was just a matter of subsidizing her mother's family, but now she even wanted to unite with outsiders to plot against her granddaughter. Yes, she was not favored by her. However, you must also clearly understand her status. She is a princess who is personally granted the title of emperor, and she is of high rank, so you have to make such a calculation. Isn't it true that she is not clear-headed? If this happens, the entire Rong family will have to walk around without food.
¡°Ahem, it¡¯s really troublesome to have such a blood family.
Qinghao¡¯s wedding was similar to Qingjiu¡¯s, both were equally lively. However, the place where Qinghao got married was not far from the Duke's mansion. Ping's mother bought the house there specifically to make it easier to take care of her. Wenwan didn't even look at it. He doesn't have a good relationship with Qinghao, so he does whatever he wants.
When she returned home three days later, Wen Wan looked at the man. He was handsome, but weak on his feet. He seemed to be a man who liked sex and had no control over it. Qinghao looked shy. (To be continued)
