As an impeccable elder brother, the prince is naturally thoughtful. He not only said the number of dowries of the high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, but also specially inquired about the pomp and circumstance of the Yang family's previous marriage: "Thirty-two lifts is the most basic number of rites, and sixty-four lifts mean that the bride is extremely important." If the power of the new son-in-law's family is not as powerful as that of the bride, he will make up a 64 dowry to give his family some face, and the bride's relatives will also praise him. Even if there are only thirty-two lifts, the contents are all precious and must be tightly stuffed. ”

"In terms of status, our family is indeed far inferior to the Hongnong County Mansion......" Hearing this, Wang Chang muttered, "If we can gather the sixty-four dowry gifts, Yang Shangshu and Mrs. Wei will treat our Wang family differently." In front of our in-laws, we won't be unable to raise our heads...... "He has always had a good face, even if he climbed to the in-laws of Hongnong County Mansion that is worth showing off everywhere, he feels that he can't think of himself as inferior.

Xiao Yang's face suddenly turned blue - to buy a sixty-four dowry? The dowry must be done with money, and the official media must also be handled with money after the sixth ceremony? Doesn't it cost money to hold a beautiful wedding banquet? Even if the Zhuangzi and shops in Huazhou are sold, I am afraid that they will only be able to complete this marriage. What should I do with chewing at home in the future?

Wang Zixian smiled slightly, and said, "Grandpa, the Yang family also has its own rules. Even if their concubines are married, it is only sixty-four dowry and ninety-six dowry. When a concubine marries, it is usually 32 dowries and 64 dowries. Since Ziling is married to the daughter of the Yang family, she naturally can't be handled as a concubine, otherwise I'm afraid that even Yang Shangshu and Mrs. Wei will feel that they have broken the rules of their family. ”

Of course, he didn't know if Yang Shangshu would care about details such as the dowry. However, Mrs. Wei will definitely remember it in her heart. A concubine who tried her best to marry a wishful husband, but ended up admitting the wrong person and causing an accident, how could she tolerate her marrying like her own daughter?

"Da Lang has a point." Xiao Yang hurriedly continued, "Since the Yang family has such a rule, then it will be purchased according to the thirty-two." "If she buys less, she can save a little more. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, if it is all given to Wang Ziling, what should Wang Luoniang do when she sees that she is about to say kiss? As for Wang Zimu, she had to wait a few years before mentioning the marriage - and the marriage between the prince and Wang Xiangniang, she had never considered money, and had already had other plans.

Seeing this, Wang Chang had to give up the idea of raising the dowry of sixty-four and reluctantly accepted the reality that "only thirty-two dowry gifts can be prepared": "Even so, these thirty-two dowry must be as rich as possible, and they must not be taught to laugh because they are too simple." Doesn't Luo Niang often say that there are no good goods in Shangzhou? Then go to the Chang Resettlement Office, East City and West Market, what to buy!! ”

Listening to his "bold words", Xiao Yang's face changed suddenly. Even the prince was a little surprised to make peace with the prince. Wang Chang has never known what firewood, rice, oil and salt are, and he doesn't care about the general affairs and economy at all on weekdays, as long as he lives comfortably, he doesn't care about everything. Who would have known that he would be able to remember Wang Luoniang's occasional coquettish complaints?

Xiao Yang only hated why he didn't block Wang Luoniang's mouth at that time and let her say these words. At that time, I just thought that the little lady should be pampered, and her vision should be higher. What are these ordinary goods in Shangzhou? If you want to use the things of Chang'an, you can hold your head up among the female dependents. But now, he is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

As soon as the interest came, Wang Chang also forgot that he didn't care about these things on weekdays, and ordered: "Da Lang also knows a lot of people in Chang'an, and the matter of purchasing the dowry will be handed over to you." You just have to ask your mother for money, no matter how much you spend, but the things must be of the best quality, and you must not let the Yang family underestimate our Wang family. ”

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Yang couldn't sit still, and opened his mouth to speak: "Da Lang ......"

Because she was a little weak-hearted and her voice was really small, the father and son didn't seem to pay attention. I saw that the prince shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa, I see that the hibiscus banquet and the official test are coming." Both of these things are at stake, and the child must do his best. Therefore, there is really no time to buy Ziling's dowry at present. ”

"That's right! Right! It's still your business that matters! Wang Chang replied repeatedly, and looked at Wang Zimu with a frown, "San Lang is too young, I am really a little worried about leaving it to him......"

The prince said, "The child understands the concerns of Grandpa and his mother. Our housekeeper only walks around Shangzhou and Huazhou on weekdays, and has never been to Chang'an, so this matter must be handed over to someone who is familiar with Chang'an. Since the child is busy and Zimu is young, why don't you let Ziling prepare by herself? This is his marriage, and he will naturally be extremely concerned, and he will quietly ask the meaning of the Yang family. Seeing that the new son-in-law was so considerate, the Yang family would be more satisfied with this marriage. ”

"Jiro?" Wang Chang's expression was slightly relieved. He has always been very fond of Wang Ziling, and when he thinks about it, he is sixteen years old and is about to get married, so it is time to go through it.

Xiao Yang didn't wait for him to make a statement, so he couldn't wait to clapped his hands and smiled: "Da Lang is right." I'll leave this matter to Erlang. He had bought a lot of things in the east and west markets before, and he had always had a good eye. As long as the prince was not allowed to give money, she would naturally be very satisfied. What's more, Wang Ziling has always been more popular with her than Wang Zimu, and she is relieved to hand over this kind of important matter to Wang Ziling.

After discussing it in a few words, Xiao Yang said that he would immediately sell the Zhuangzi and the shop in Huazhou in case of emergency, and everyone was happy.

Wang Zixian took the opportunity to say again: "Ziling is still in Chang'an, it is better to let Zimu take a few stewards to meet him and convey the matter." Moreover, Zimu's studies can't be delayed for too long, it's time to return to Chang'an. ”

Wang Chang and Xiao Yang listened and nodded in agreement. Wang Zimu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at his eldest brother again, his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration.

Of course, he knew that the reason why the eldest brother didn't take over this matter was most likely to avoid suspicion, and he didn't want to arouse his mother's suspicion, so he gave birth to right and wrong. If it were him, he would have done the same. However, if the second brother handles this matter, with his temperament, he will definitely deduct a lot of money from it for personal use. The degree of use at home is not as good as before, and he should still remind one or two. Of course, it was one thing for him to do his duty, and it was another thing for Wang Ziling to listen to what he said

Just when Wang Zixian and Wang Zi got up to retire, Wang Chang suddenly seemed to remember something, and sighed: "Wait! Alas, if it hadn't been for the patriarch reminding me that it takes a lot of money to communicate in officialdom, I would have almost forgotten about it. As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring an ebony box, took out the two title deeds inside, and gave them to the prince: "Da Lang, this is the ancestral property of our Wang family." The ancestors have a will, which is indivisible and cannot be bought and sold, and is only passed on to the eldest son. Take half of it, and all the proceeds will be for your officialdom. In the future...... Don't forget to be a Father's heart......"

The prince was stunned, and he didn't expect the patriarch to secretly help him: "Since it is the ancestral property, Grandpa keeps it for himself, so why give it to the child?" If a child has an official position, he will have his own money to chew on. "It's really funny, I didn't take it out late, I didn't take it out early, but I took half of it out at this time. The ancestral property of the Wang family has been passed down from generation to generation and only gives one vein to the eldest son, should he be said to be stingy, or is he loose at hand? There is also the other half, could it be that he wants to give it to Wang Ziling?

Oh, "only the eldest son", "don't forget to be a father's heart" - Shi En did not forget to ask for benefits for himself, and it was so ugly that there were loopholes everywhere in his words, it was really a complete joke.

Xiao Yang's eyes were straight, and the smile on his face was distorted like a ghost with teeth and claws. However, no matter how much she gritted her teeth in her heart, after hearing that it was the patriarch who pushed her forward, she didn't dare to say more.

Wang Chang is not a complete fool, and he is very close to his ancestral property. Although the interest is handed over to her to take care of, the title deed has never been kept by herself. On weekdays, when it comes to selling Zhuangzi and selling shops, I never mention the ancestral property. You know, these are four big Zhuangzi that add up to nearly 200 hectares! Each one is no smaller than that Zhuangzi in Huazhou!! It's close to Chang'an again! If it is worth a lot, it must be worth a lot of money from these Zhuangzi!!

"Sooner or later, it's all yours, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you." Wang Chang pretended to be generous, and did not mention that the patriarch at that time persuaded him for a long time, "You are a good boy with a good future, and you are also the backbone of the family." Although we are now focusing on Ziling's marriage and ignoring you, in the end, the family will have to rely on you in the future. ”

In the final analysis, he was just worried that he would spend a lot of money on a happy event when he saw the prince Lingfeng, and he had a complaint in his heart. So first take out some small favors to buy him, so that he can willingly worry about this big family in the future. Oh, it's worthy of being dialed by the patriarch, and the means look a little smarter.

The prince sneered in his heart, but his face showed embarrassment. It wasn't until Wang Chang persuaded and persuaded him that he accepted the land deeds of these two Zhuangzi: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of my brother and sister in the future." "Since it is the ancestral property of the Wang family, and it is only passed on to the eldest son, then he will accept it. Hengzhu is also a person surnamed Wang, and of course there is no reason not to accept the property sent to him. As for taking care of his brother and sister, only Wang Zimu and Wang Xiangniang are the younger siblings he admits, and they must be taken care of.

Then, the father and son said a lot more, and the prince reluctantly retired with the prince. Xiao Yang covered his chest, looked at the title deed that went away with him, and almost vomited out his heart's blood!

Seeing that her face was ugly, and she couldn't hide it no matter how she could hide it, Wang Chang shook his sleeves and snorted lightly: "If Erlang and Sanlang are as promising as Dalang!" Of course, this title deed also has their share! If the heirloom says it well, naturally there should be talented people! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yang was even more angry, and tears fell down. Who knew that this little beast would have such a long life? And what kind of head did you hit?! If anyone sues her now that she has a way to cut him down and eradicate the roots, then she would rather give away all the Zhuangzi shops in her hand than get rid of him completely!!

That night, Wang Zixian quietly met Wang Xiangniang again. The brother and sister talked in secret for nearly an hour, and no one knew what they were talking about. The next day, Wang Zimu led a few stewards back to Chang'an.

At this time, Wang Ziling could no longer stay in the Yang family with a cheeky face, so he had to return to the Yang family's courtyard where Mr. Zhou was. After hearing Wang Zimu mention that his family asked him to organize the dowry, he was overjoyed: "This is how it should be!" No one is more likely to inquire about the Yang family than me! ”

With Yang Qian's guidance, he naturally knew what kind of dowry the Yang family wanted. No matter how much money and energy is spent, he must get it right!! After all, this marriage was obtained by him with great effort, and he must not make a difference!!

Then, Wang Ziling wrote home twice in three days to ask for money. Because of his sweet mouth and the fact that his letters are well-written, he usually gets what he wants. So, Xiao Yang, who barely endured the distress and sold the remaining Zhuangzi and shops in Huazhou, soon found out that all this money was actually taken by him one after another to buy a dowry - and he was not enough!!

Looking at the empty warehouse, thinking about the few Zhuangzi shops left at hand, Xiao Yang only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fell straight to the ground.
