67. Sixty-seven

After symbolically "considering" for two days, Pu Yu got Ruxi's permission, and sent someone to send a letter to Yan Xiao to agree to the marriage.

Chen Hao did things neatly, and immediately invited the official media to come to the door with the gift of Nacai. Dasheng people are enlightened, and the matter of marriage does not have to be strictly confined to the ancient rites, even if the princes and princes of the high gate are solemn, sometimes one or two of the six rites will be ignored or combined, and the dowry is naturally precious, but it may not be in accordance with the list of ancient rites, especially the military generals and upstarts who have military merits, and there are more bold and creative. Only the old-school hairpin family, such as the British Gonglou family, the Murong family of the Yuguo Gong, or the Qingliu scholarly family such as the Xun family and the Yu family, will follow the most traditional ancient wedding rites in everything.

When Pu Yu married Yan Wei, he also did a decent job, and the thirty gifts listed in Gu Li Nacai were readily available. Now looking at the wild geese, sake and liquor, japonica rice, vanilla Jiahe, five-color silk, acacia bells, etc., although they are not necessarily very valuable, but each one is strictly based on the most traditional rituals, each piece is exquisite and thoughtful, and it is very worthy of the Pu family's nominal "scholarly door". Pu Luo looked at it and felt that there was light on his face, and at the same time he sighed a little, vaguely remembering Yan Wei's handsome, gentle and gentle face and figure back then.

When he saw Ru Ji, who came to personally check and accept the gift, Pu Yu revealed some sincere sighs and warmth for the first time: "Ru Ji, you are really a big girl now, and when you come out of the cabinet in the future, you will be a member of the Chen family, and you will live a good life in the future, and you will be relieved to be a father." ”

Ru Ji had only roughly read what "three books and six rites" were from books before, and she couldn't tell them too clearly. As for the memory of the original owner, he had seen two wedding gifts in two lifetimes. It's just that he married Shi Zhonglang in the first life, but because of his skin-to-skin relationship in the water, he didn't have any affection at all. Although I was a little happy and looking forward to leaving the Pu family, I had already heard a little about Shi Zhonglang's romantic reputation, but I didn't have any fantasies and yearnings for Luanfeng and Ming in the life after marriage.

In the second life, the original owner Ruxi and Shi Renlang were interested in each other before marriage, but when they left the cabinet, they couldn't help but worry day and night about the dowry. As mentioned by Chaolu, for a five-grade civil official like Pu Yu, a dowry of 4,000 to 6,000 taels is the most common configuration, and if the family is wealthy or marrying highly, it is also possible to add 8,000 or even 120,000 taels of silver. On the other hand, if the family background is thinner or the concubine is out of the cabinet, it is not uncommon to marry two or three thousand silver. If it is lower than two thousand, if it is not for the imminent dismissal of the official and the hasty marriage of a daughter to avoid trouble, it will really be mean to a point, and it is inevitable that a reputation of selling a girl will be cold.

Ru Ji recalled that when she married Shi Renlang in the second life, the dowry seemed to be thirty-two. It's just that the wood of the box is as thin as paper, and it is so light that it can even be lifted. That is, the price of those cotton coarse porcelain is all calculated to the market price, which is at most one thousand and a half. When the newlywed was strong, Shi Renlang only said that he didn't care, but Zuo's face didn't look good since then. Especially in the last few months of the Shi family, the Zuo family has been beating and scolding Ruji, and they have to be picky everywhere; The big girl's painting fan and painting screen have already given Shi Renlang as her aunt, adding fragrance to her green sleeves on the left and right, and she also doesn't take Ruxi in her eyes, and laughs and ridicules at every turn. In the midst of the overwhelming contempt, ridicule, and even reprimand, Ru Xi's simple dowry has always been one of the reasons for people to talk about it.

At this moment, Pu Yu's voice carried some sighs from his father looking at his daughter to get married, and Ru Xi heard it clearly, but she didn't want to buy it. For the vast majority of women, the dowry is the most important reliance for a lifetime of eating, drinking, and use, and it is also the confidence of whether the in-laws can straighten their waists. If it weren't for his own rebirth, he used his strength all the way to get to the present with the determination to break the kettle and sink the boat, how much dowry could Pu Yu give to his eldest daughter in this life? One thousand five? One thousand eight? indifferent to his daughter for fifteen years, and greedy for money and unscrupulous in the second half of his life, sigh at this time, what is the use.

The Pu family accepted the acceptance gift, and the official media sent a post asking for the name the next day. Since this proposal is in November, it makes sense to move quickly. In the year of the lunar month, after all, it is not a suitable time to prepare for marriage, and it is better to rush within November. In addition, Pu Yu and Chi also hoped that Ru Ji would go out quickly, and go smoothly after the scene. Soon set November 23 as Najib's period, although the big gift will inevitably wait until the year later, but as long as Najib has passed the Wending, the two sides exchange Geng posts, even if the marriage is preliminary.

In the past ten days, it is inconvenient for Ruxi and Chen Hao to meet again, mainly because they don't have time. Chen Hao still has the official duties of Jingzhao Yamen, and after finishing his errands every day, he has to hurry up with his mother to make all kinds of preparations in the three books and six ceremonies. Although the pace of marriage was accelerated due to the actions of the Shi family, he still wanted to do a good job in various gifts and etiquette, which was also for the sake of Ruji's face.

Ru Xi can see this thought from the frequent visits of the official media and the details of various ceremonies, in addition to the sweeter and sweeter smile every day, she also sends Chen Run to send some hand-made stew soup supplements to Baifu Lane every day. He is preparing and sorting out the dowry with Chaolu Caiyun, and he is also preparing for the New Year, which is going to be a gift to Baifu Lane.

The Pu family is naturally busy because of the eldest girl. Although I heard that the eldest girl's future husband is not a high-ranking relative of Huan Ningbo Mansion, some people are very disappointed, but after all, the eldest girl is now rich and generous, and the future will definitely be prosperous.

Two days before Wending, Pu Yu and the others finally came back to their senses, this future eldest aunt, where is the six-grade clerk of the Criminal Department, it is clearly the Jingzhao Yamen head catcher who has seen several times before!

Thinking of the previous twists and turns, Chi Shi was dizzy again. Pu Yu didn't catch up, but she was a woman in the house who saw the menacing Jingzhao catching his head through the house, searching and arresting people, and she was almost scared to death when she went back and forth. There was also the time when Chi Zhugui was stabbed by Ruji, Jingzhao Yamen actually came to the door overnight and took Cai Wan away, thinking about it carefully, he should have known and colluded for a long time! Now the head catcher will call himself his mother-in-law in the future? Thinking about the trembling in front of Chen Hao before, Ru Xi's cheap girl must have laughed through her belly!

It happened that in the afternoon, Ruji was going to the main room to talk about the six rites and the dowry, and even if the Chi family had a thousand angers, they suppressed it the moment they saw Chaolu and Xia Yue. The shape is stronger than people, so why bother yourself? Although his temples were jumping wildly, he finally couldn't bear to mention it. As for whether such a strong anger is sad or not, I don't know, but it will definitely hurt money if you quarrel with Chaolu, and if you quarrel with Xia Yue, I am afraid that it will hurt your body, and Mrs. Chi is still very knowledgeable about current affairs.

After the matter was discussed, Ruji said goodbye and went back to Yueluju. Chi didn't say anything, but Ruyan couldn't hold back anymore and chased after her angrily: "Big girl, congratulations." ”

Now the Pu family wants to seek a future in the moon, and naturally they are all like their ears. In the morning, the Chi family was so angry that he found out Chen Hao's identity, and someone had already reported that Yueluju, Ruxi only brought it with Chaolucai when he heard about it. Therefore, what Ruyan wanted to say at this time, Ruyan probably knew what to say, and immediately turned around in a good time: "Thank you." Tongxi. ”

Ruyan looked at the ruby on the double butterfly red blonde comb between Ruyan's buns shining in the sun, and the plum blossom brocade cloak on her body was also exquisite and dazzling, and all kinds of jealousy and anger in her heart surged into her heart: "The eldest girl climbed such a great Huan Ningbo Mansion, and thought that she could fly on the branches to do what a golden phoenix, who knows that she will go around and around, but she still has to marry a lowly head catcher, it seems that you are only like this in the eyes of other people's uncles, you can only be worthy of such an inferior person!" ”

Rao is Ruyan was mentally prepared, and after hearing Ruyan insult Chen Hao like this, she was still instantly full of anger, raised her eyebrows, and the light in her eyes became sharper and sharper: "Pu Ruyan, what kind of person do you think you are, and what kind of good thing are you?" Mrs. embezzles the original dowry, that is, theft, and you, a good daughter who has accompanied your mother to read the account books since she was a child, can also be regarded as an accomplice. The thief said that he looked down on the head catcher? It's a laughing death. No character, no virtue, no respect, what kind of face do you have to tell me that you are noble and lowly? If you don't like to marry the head catcher, then you go and marry the prince Gaomen! Go to the palace of the marquis and the earl of the family to be the concubine and daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law of the second or third floor, the relatives of the seven or eight rooms, the three relatives and the six concubines are all relatives of the emperor, whoever pulls out a hairpin is worth half of your dowry, and the knowledge of food, clothing, housing and transportation is not as good as other people's maids, you go quickly, who stops you from being a phoenix, but it depends on what the wife takes to accompany you out! After saying it in one breath, he glanced at Ruyan's angry little face again, and rolled his eyes, "Stupid." ”
