Chapter 5 Marriage Date

"Mi Xue!" King Gaomi pushed the princess helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Finally, the child is back, and it is rare to have a matter of begging us, and I have said that I will do it for him...... Are you afraid that the children won't hate us even more?"

For fear that the princess wouldn't listen, her voice was lower, "He'er has been very close to the Shu sisters recently, and he has his own county palace, once he gets married, he will move to the county princess's mansion with the county princess." When the time comes, do you want him to go back to see us?!"

These words persuaded Princess Gaomi, and the princess secretly smiled bitterly, and apologized to the Sheng family: "I was sick for more than ten years because I missed He'er. Nowadays, although people are in good spirits and can get up on happy occasions, they are sick like a thread. So looking at you at this time, you really don't have enough energy, but I don't mean to snub you, and please don't misunderstand!"

Of course, the Sheng family didn't believe it, but because the attitude of the princess from the top and bottom of the Gaomi palace made them not very satisfied, no matter what the others thought in their hearts, the scene was not good, and Rong Mianhe promised that after marriage, they were a young couple alone, and they didn't have a good impression of Princess Gaomi, and they wouldn't listen to the words of this mother, so the princess softened, and they also revealed it.

After all, you have to take into account that after Sheng Weiqiao passes the door, even if he doesn't live with his in-laws, he always has to go to ask for entertainment during the New Year's holidays.

The Sheng family turned to a pleasant face, and King Gaomi, who was afraid of a long night and a lot of dreams, couldn't wait to mention the specific matters of the marriage.

Originally, the Sheng family wanted to take another shelf, and said that they would talk about it for a few days.

But King Gaomi knew that the people who had the idea of playing the position of the princess of Mizhen County under his hands were not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the Zhao family, lest they let go of their hands a little and let the Zhao family take advantage of the loophole, where would they delay any longer?

He took the lead in stalking, Rong Sleeping Crane followed, Rong Qingchu and his wife and the princess only said that King Gaomi suddenly changed his mind and wanted to repair the father-son relationship with Rong Sleeping Crane, how could he not support it?

In the end, the Sheng family couldn't bear the entanglement, and of course the matter of marriage was settled.

Then King Gaomi struck while the iron was hot, under the pretext that he was busy with government affairs, and his in-laws also came from afar, so he had to catch up on the old days and travel around, so it was better to set the wedding date while everyone was there now.

Under his urging, coupled with Rong Sleeping Crane himself, he couldn't wait to marry Sheng Weiqiao, and soon finalized the wedding date for the tenth day of March next year.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the lunar month, and three months was really too hasty for the wedding preparations of the county king and the county lord.

Fortunately, although Princess Gaomi tried to prevent Rong Sleepy Crane from marrying Sheng Weiqiao, the preparations for the wedding have been going on, plus Sheng Weiqiao's elders are all capable people, and there is also the help of Ningwei Houfu, so this wedding will not be due to the shortage of time.

But......

When the six rites came to the next section, King Gaomi thought about a question painfully: Is it too late to regret the marriage now?!

There is no other reason.

The dowry given by the Sheng family to Sheng Weiqiao is really too rich!!

Sheng Lanci will not talk about the action of the twenty-four filial father, he did not empty the entire Sheng family, it is estimated that because he just got a son, he always had to leave some money for his son to hire a nurse.

Mrs. Sheng originally preferred the heirs of the big house, but because of Sheng Lanling, she felt guilty about being a grandfather and grandmother, and each took nearly half of her private room to add makeup to Sheng Weiqiao. Although the old couple has long been ignorant, but the years have received a lot of filial piety, including the village shop acres of mountains and forests these are will make money, they have no money-consuming hobbies, food, clothing and housing are public accounts, the only expense is to give the younger generation a profit market during the New Year's holidays, so the private money is very considerable.

Just the dowry given by this grandfather and grandmother has an inheritance of 100,000 taels of silver.

The two were a little sneering when they said the amount.

Because as grandfathers and grandmothers, their shots are really a bit unbeatable compared to Sheng Weiqiao's foreign family.

Mrs. Zhan has always loved the only girl in her grandchildren like a treasure, and when she hit Sheng Weiqiao, she just had to hang a sign on her face that said "I am an eccentric granddaughter".

After the wedding date was set that day, in front of the Gaomi King and his wife, he proudly announced: "Xinhe will be out of the cabinet next year, exactly seventeen years old, Mizhen is twenty-one, and the sum of the two of you is thirty-eight...... In this way, my grandmother will give you a dowry of 380,000 taels of silver!"

Old Lady Feng said slowly: "Grandfather is the same!"

Xuan Yu Feng said with a smile: "In this way, my father and mother gave Qiao Er a total of 760,000 taels of silver for the dowry, and I, as an aunt, can't pass you two...... I'll give Qiao Er 500,000 taels of silver as a dowry! Qiao Er is not too little!"

Old Marquis Xu smashed his mouth and followed: "My old Xu family has a thin background, and I really can't take out more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, at most 350,000 taels of makeup...... Don't be too little Jo'er!"

Old lady Sheng hurriedly said: "What are you doing so much? It's not your own granddaughter! You still have a granddaughter who is not allowed!"

"Old brother, you look at my old Xu family as poor!" Old Marquis Xu was displeased, "Besides, when Jiang was out of the pavilion, my old Xu family didn't say to let me reduce it a little?"

Nan Shi gave his father-in-law a help: "What Dad said is, Sheng Shibo, what kind of friendship do we have between the two families?

Gongsun Yingjiang and Xu Baomo became relatives before Sheng Lanci and his party arrived in Chang'an, and the Xu family felt sorry for this girl, and the wedding was extraordinarily grand, almost moving out of the entire family as a dowry.

However, Gongsun Yingjiang's dowry is not ambiguous, except for the special makeup given by the Sheng family and the eldest princess of Wuyang, mainly her father Gongsun Su scolded and scolded him, and under the persuasion of Rong Sleeping Crane, he still sent someone to secretly transport a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry from Tortoiseshell Island to his daughter to press the bottom of the box.

So this girl's dowry is very impressive...... Well, before Sheng Weiqiao's dowry appeared, it was quite considerable.

At this time, the old marquis Xu's daughter-in-law brought up this matter and said it, in front of King Gaomi, the old lady Sheng was not easy to say, most of Gongsun Yingjiang's makeup was given by his father, not the Sheng family, and he excused himself, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

Then the main force of adding makeup was not over yet, because Mrs. Zhan touched her granddaughter's head again, and said to Xuan Yu Feng with a look of pity: "Xinhe's uncles, uncles and aunts, and aunts who are married to the Shen family don't know how much, but although Shi'er is the same generation as Xinhe, they have become the head of the family, but they also have to congratulate their cousins!

Xuan Yu Feng smiled: "I'll take care of it." If you don't realize it, I'll give him a good look!"

Sheng Weiqiao has never had any concept of silver, and she only feels that her dowry seems to be a lot, but to what extent it will be and what kind of impact it will have on the world, she is not very clear.

And because she was pampered when she was young, it was reasonable for the girl to think that when she was out of the cabinet, the elders gave generously, so there was no need to be surprised...... With her status in the four families, if they are not generous, it would be weird!

So I smiled and thanked him, and it was over.

Her calmness here is breathtaking, and the royal couple of Gaomi over there are cold sweats streaming down when they listen to these numbers!

Especially King Gaomi!

As he expected, when he returned to the palace afterwards, Princess Gaomi began to interrogate him: "How much property do you have under your hands now?"

"Princess, firstly, you are the son of the world, and secondly, you also know that now that the big thing has not been accomplished, we have a lot of expenses. I can't take all the things that my father left me to give He'er as a dowry!"

He only knew that the three powerful families in Nanfeng County were quite rich, but he didn't expect them to be so rich!

Although it is said that the Sheng family has no military power, but the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family alone gave Sheng Weiqiao more than one million taels of silver to marry, listening to the meaning of the old lady Zhan's words, the juniors of these two families will give additional gifts, even if those uncles and cousins or something, it will not be hundreds of thousands, but according to the boldness of the old lady Zhan and Xuan Yu Feng's throwing money, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands?

In this way, Sheng Weiqiao's marriage, the total amount is almost the top, and the treasury income is less than half when the last year's prosperity was not very good [Note]!

Where is this country rich man, this is a rich country!!

The point is!

After having such a large sum of money, he will allow the experience and ability of the sleeping crane, as long as he is given a chance to enter the army, he will not be able to pull a group of people?!

To put it mildly, with so much money, it is enough for him to recruit troops and buy horses and get an army out of scratch!

This is not the kind of unreliable kind of general in the army, who may betray someone who offers a higher price and is more in line with people's wishes another day, but a lineage created by himself, the real hole card!

If it weren't for the princess in front of him, King Gaomi would have wanted to slap both of them!

I also hate the Sheng family, the Feng family, and the Xuan Yu family in my heart: you are all so rich, what are you doing in Nanfeng County all day long?!

Shouldn't it be widely publicized, so that the whole world knows about the wealth of your three powerful families?!

Jinyi traveled to this point at night, he should have been dragged out and hacked to death!!

If this king had known that you were all rich and rivaled the country, he would still be able to let the princess of the county fall into the Sheng family?!

However, the princess didn't know the roar in King Gaomi's heart, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "But you also heard the dowry of the county lord of Kangzhao just now!

It is absolutely impossible for King Gaomi to take out the property that overwhelms Sheng Weiqiao's marriage as a dowry.

If this is done, not to mention hollowing out all his family funds, it will definitely hurt his vitality. If Rong Mianhe is a considerate, sensible and filial son, he will use his wife's dowry to support his great cause, and he may be able to make a show, anyway, he will take it out for a period of time, and then he will return it with interest. The scene can be particularly good-looking, so why not?

But it's not bad if a son like Rong Sleeping Crane doesn't cheat him, if he gives this dowry, the result will definitely be that Rong Sleeping Crane will not give back to him with a penny, but will use the silver he gave to develop and grow, and then eat him as a father!

Note: The treasury in feudal society was subject to the limitations of the productive forces of the times, and if it was not expropriated arbitrarily, the income was not very high...... In fact, even if it is tyrannical, it is often the first to fatten the people at the bottom. Because the ancient commercial law is not so sound, and it is particularly convenient for people with official backgrounds to do business (of course, the premise is to have such talents, if there are no talents, it is difficult to be rich and rival the country), and the three powerful families of Nanfeng County are far away by the emperor of the sky, and the relationship with the pirates has always been good, and they belong to the type of black and white, so it is possible to be rich but not famous.

PS: The tragedies of several dynasties have been excessively part of land annexation. Then the more ruthless the land annexation, the poorer the treasury became. Because the land and population were taken away by the nobles, squires, and officials, and they basically did not pay taxes, of course, the money of the court was getting less and less, and the people at the bottom were getting more and more hungry, and finally the people at the bottom rebelled, and the court had no money to suppress it, so it was over.

Although the Great Mu Dynasty in the text has not yet reached the level of OVER, the throne has been passed down for five or six generations, and the nobles, squires, and powerful families of this dynasty have also developed to a considerable scale, which has had a great impact on the profits of the treasury revenue.

Well, the "note" here is an outrageous explanation for some friends who will think that the heroine's dowry is outrageous.

This "note" does not affect the prices charged in this chapter.
