Chapter 312: Dowry
"In that case, I'll go and call someone to arrange it." After Yin Susu said that sentence with a sneer, he stood up and said. "Do you have any other ideas?"
Compared with Lin Yu's emotion, several other people were even more cold, but fortunately, there were no outsiders present, only Lin Yu, Xiaobai, Qingqing and their personal maids, who still knew Yin Susu's nature better, but they were still a little afraid of the queen's momentum and super cold atmosphere on Yin Susu's body, and they all nodded.
Seeing this scene, Yin Susu was in a better mood, "In this case, if you think of anything, send someone to tell me, and I will discuss the rest with His Royal Highness King Qi, this kind of thing has a routine, and it is not difficult to do." β
Needless to say, Lin Yu is not an ancient person at all, and after a year, he is only a superficial person, and his actions are not too out of line, and he still doesn't know much about these real customs. Xiaobai has been learning art from the mountains since he was a child, and he didn't come down the mountain until he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Qingqing, it's a little better than those two, but her mother died early, and no one taught her, and she didn't know much about it.
Because this matter was handled by the Qi Wangfu and Yin Susu's side, Qingqing was also very interested in personally inquiring about the process, afraid that the housekeepers on the Wangfu side would not care. Lin Yu and Xiaobai didn't care at all, Lin Yu was idle during this time, and he almost always lived in the Qi Wangfu and never went out. In addition, I was a little frightened last time, and I learned from the pain and decided to learn some martial arts and internal skills from Xiaobai.
Xiaobai is naturally happy to have more contact, and he is very attentive. first carefully organized a set of quick moves similar to self-defense techniques, and then waited for Lin Yu to master this, and then began to teach Lin Yu some basic martial arts. Supplemented by internal skills and basic skills.
However, martial arts training is a hard work, and it is not so easy to see results, Lin Yu's talent is actually good, but it is not a natural posture. Even if he is gifted and born to practice like a novice, it will take at least five or six years of hard work to become a first-class master. Not to mention the supreme master grandmaster or something.
When Lin Yu thought of this, he was inevitably a little frustrated, and then he hit his mind on something else. Take, for example, firearms. The current situation is that gunpowder has been manufactured, but there is no trace of a firearm, and it is not known whether the road has not appeared, or whether the production method has been lost. Or maybe there are a few people who have such a weapon of mass murder. But it's kept secret.
The difficulty of manufacturing firearms and the danger of using them are extraordinary, and after thinking about it for two days, Lin Yu still gave up. First of all, to carry gunpowder, you need better quality steel or copper, and the level of metal processing must also go up, at least to have a relatively good casting skills, she is not a learner of weapons, and there are few girls who care about weapons. She hadn't expected to be reborn in ancient times, so she didn't know much about the specific structure of firearms.
But there is a time to do it. Time always flies very fast, at least for Lin Yu. After thinking about it for a few days, although she gave up after the worst, plus practiced martial arts every day, when she came back to her senses, she found that the day after tomorrow was the right day for engagement.
The Bai family's parents are not there, the eldest sister is like a mother, and Yin Susu, the own sister, has taken care of the dowry manpower and other issues on Xiaobai's side. Speaking of which, although it is said that it is going to be a big deal, after all, the identities of Lin Yu and Xiaobai are there, and they are in the imperial city where the powerful gather, so it is impossible to go too far, especially in the same period, there are several little princes and sons who are engaged in the past few days, and they can't be pressed openly.
Therefore, there are only thirty-two dowry gifts, not to mention the cakes, pigs, sheep, fruits, dried fruits, etc., all the jewelry is fine, the inlaid jewelry is all high-quality, the shining and shining kind, the silk and satin are all of the finest, and there are large jade bonsai, and a small box full of gold, which is enough for five hundred taels.
When Lin Yu looked at the list, he was very surprised, so he proposed less, "It's too expensive, this dowry is almost 20,000 taels, it's too much." β
"I just wanted to discuss it with you, talk to my sister, and since you also have this idea, let's talk to my sister." Xiaobai also said.
After reading the list, Xiaobai was a little uneasy, although his family had some, but he had been living in the mountains, not extravagant or very thrifty, and when he grew up and traveled outside, he didn't have a lot of money, in his opinion, one hundred taels of silver was already a lot of money. Although he hoped that the dowry would be more decent, he only planned to pay about 5,000 taels, because he had done some business in recent years, and he still gave out this money, and any more would be more than his burden.
You must know that the dowry of 5,000 taels is already a lot, and the last time Lu Pingzhi married Zhang Wan'er, although she married a rich girl, she only paid about this amount, which is already very decent.
However, Yin Susu was very calm about this, and rejected the uneasy Xiaobai's proposal, "If it weren't for the fact that this is the case in the capital, I still dislike the dowry is less, brother, you don't have to worry, I can pay two or three hundred thousand taels of silver." β
"But, it's still a bit much." Xiaobai looked at her as if she was a little unhappy, and said cautiously.
"It doesn't exceed the system, other people's families are thirty-two lifts, and our family is also thirty-two lifts, but things are more expensive, so what's the point?" Yin Susu smiled and said, "Do you think it's too much, or does Xiaoyu think so too?" β
"Xiaoyu thinks so too." Xiao Bai hurriedly said, "Looking at her appearance, she seems to be a little uneasy, and said that there are not so many dowries for the marriage of King Qi's own daughters, which seems to be a bit excessive, I am afraid that those people's faces will be dull." β
"Those people are county lords, according to the system, they are all sixty-four dowry, only the third daughter of King Qi married an embroidered pillow, although it is also a sixty-four dowry, but most of them are filled by King Qi himself, and there are few. Although our things are more valuable, they are only thirty-two dowry, which is not excessive. Yin Susu thought about it and said, "If you go back and tell Xiaoyu, just say that I said it, and let them come to me if you don't say anything sour." β
Xiaobai nodded in response, Yin Sufang smiled, "That's it, she's not without money, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, what are you doing so thrifty?" Besides, this is what I added to my brother, and when the time comes, I will really become a relative, and Xiaoyu is afraid that she will have to bring it back. β
Thinking of this, her smile deepened slightly, and she said to Xiaobai, "I forgot to congratulate my younger brother, you married a Jinshan this time." β
Because of the partnership business, Lin Yu's family background, Yin Susu can know about seven or eight things, too much to say, there are about 200,000 taels, and there may be more in the future. Lin Yu is a lonely man, and his family property is all married, and with a dowry of 200,000 taels, ordinary county lords can't have so much, Yin Susu congratulated Xiaobai on marrying a golden mountain, but he was not wrong.
was teased by her sister like this, Xiaobai's face flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed. "Speaking of which, it's still me who climbed her, although the Bai family has some land business, it is estimated that they are not particularly wealthy. However, I do have some business shares from a friend, and I can afford it, but she also has a gift equivalent to the five grades. β
Yin Susu laughed when he heard this, "It seems that you are indeed a careless family, the Bai family has a lot of silver, and my mother is indeed a master of management, I probably inherited it from her." β
Xiaobai really doesn't know much about the situation at home, although some of the shares have not been operated by a few friends, and he doesn't know very well, in fact, the income of the Million Villa alone has already exceeded 200,000 taels, if someone else buys and sells shares to him, there is no need to think about it.
"In short, I arranged this matter, since I said that I should do it seriously, of course I must use it well. Although in terms of system, you can't be too public, but you and Xiaoyu are both worthy of the best. Yin Susu summed it up. Besides, there are many wealthy businessmen in the capital, and their marriage is even more exaggerated. β
Xiaobai was relieved to see that she said this, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Yin Susu suddenly stopped him.
"Sister, what else do you want to tell me?" Xiaobai looked at Yin Susu and stopped himself, but he was silent, and asked a little strangely.
"It's nothing, it's justβ" Yin Susu paused, and Fang asked, "Is Xiaoyu still angry with me over there?" β
"Actually, Xiaoyu is fine, but hearing that you arranged Yin Xing like this, there is almost no punishment, and I am naturally a little uncomfortable in my heart, and it will probably be a little unforgettable for a while. It's Sister Qingqing, she is still quite angry, after discussing the matter of marriage last time, Sister Qingqing said that she didn't have a seizure just by looking at Xiaoyu's face. Xiaobai thought for a while.
In fact, he is not without a little opinion on Yin Susu's actions in this matter. Everyone has a difference between relatives and distances, and it is true that Yin Susu is her own sister, but Yin Xing is not his white brother. He and Yin Xing are not related by blood, Yin Xing's biological mother is still the junior who hurt his own mother who was so humiliated and frustrated, how can he not be upset? Even if Mrs. Bai now has a husband and a son and lives a very happy life, it does not mean that she has no opinion on this matter in her heart, nor does it mean that Xiaobai will not be a little unhappy for his mother.
And Yin Xing is not a good person, if he is really a person with good character and outstanding talent, it is just that, but he is such a person, how can Xiaobai have a little good impression of him? And Lin Yu is his fiancΓ©e, Lin Yu almost lost his life because of Yin Xing, although it was a false alarm, but it was because he arrived in time, Lin Yu was lucky, it does not mean that Yin Xing's actions are not bad enough.
Xiaobai's good impression of Yin Xing now can be said to be extremely low, and after he came back that day, he actually grabbed Yin Xing and made a move, but he was persuaded by Yin Susu to leave. Later, when he heard that Yin Xing was only punished for copying books, he almost sneaked into Pingtao Pavilion and taught Yin Xing a hard lesson, but he was persuaded by Lin Yu. He thought about it again after all, Yin Xing was the only male in the Yin family, and if he was really beaten up by himself, he wouldn't be able to compensate his sister for a single one, so he gave up.
At this time, Yin Susu asked, he inevitably had some opinions, but Yin Susu listened to his words and was silent for a while, but he didn't say anything as he hoped, and let him leave.
This incident is just a small episode, even Xiaobai quickly forgot about it, and soon the right day of engagement will come. (To be continued......)
