Zongzheng Temple chose an auspicious day, Sima Yulou and Jinyi's wedding date was set on the ninth day of the fifth month, and the day of the levy was on February 18. ranwenｗ?ｗｗ?．

At good morning, the old lady said with some confusion: "Why is this wedding so long?" There are three more months to go. ”

Lin replied with a smile, "There are many happy events in our house this year, so it's good that we can stagger the day." ”

The old lady nodded, "That's right, Ru'er is going to be married at the beginning of next month, and the ancestral family is anxious, and two days ago I sent someone to say that as soon as the ceremony is over, I will come to the dowry, I'm afraid that the day of welcoming will be in front of Sister Yi'er." ”

When she said this, the eldest and young grandmother Kong took Jinyi and a few other young ladies to the warm pavilion on the side, looked for some tricks, took out the basket, and asked them to do needlework.

The old lady said again: "Sister Yi'er's female red is already doing well, but Ru'er, I have to restrain her to do more these days." Although the ancestral family doesn't care much about the girl's family, Ru'er is the daughter of the Hou Mansion after all, and the needlework is too bad to say. ”

Jin Ru rubbed back with a bitter face, and took the old lady's hand to be coquettish, "Ancestor, you can spare Ru'er." ”

"That's not going to work!" The old lady pretended to make a straight face, "You can't go out for a walk now, just stay at home with peace of mind, your wedding dress has to be embroidered by yourself, is it difficult to buy it outside?" ”

Jinru's eyes brightened, "When the time comes, I still have to go back to the mansion over there, and my brother is not at home all day, so I am left alone." It's better to let Sister Yi teach me, anyway, she promised to help me make a wedding dress together. ”

A month before Jinru got married, according to the rules, she had to go back to the Marquis of Changfeng Mansion to be married, and the old lady was also worried, when she was at home alone, no one cared about her, and she had to run out quietly. Jin Yi has always been quiet and polite, and it is more reassuring to have her look at herself. He smiled and nodded in agreement.

As he was talking, the next person came, and Princess Chuchen sent Mama Yin over to discuss the matter of levy with the old lady.

Mama Yin came in to salute the old lady, and said with a smile: "Our princess listened to the day chosen by Zongzheng Temple, and specially asked the slave maid to come over to report it, and the county lord of Yunhui will come back in two days, and then the county lord will preside over the marriage of the prince and the second lady on behalf of our princess." ”

This family affair was given by the emperor, so the link of discussing relatives was exempted, but the door book Geng post still had to be exchanged. Next is the Nagina levy, where the man gives a dowry and the woman prepares a dowry.

Jinyi's dowry has been discussed with the Lin family in the past two days, and her mother's property only leaves four shops, which is naturally not enough, so the old lady will count the Qin family's property in the name of the second room, and allocate seven or eight out of ten, all of which are added to Jinyi, including half of the street of Wuyifang in the east of the city, a total of twelve shops pù and house deed, all of which are good properties such as restaurants, bookstores, and silk workshops.

The old lady added a lot to her from her own private property, counting a total of twenty shops, two sets of three-entry houses in the west of the city, and a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou. The annual profit is enough to 40,000 or 50,000 silver.

This has given nearly thirty percent of the profits of the Qin family's public property to Jinyi, and the Lin family's face turned green when he heard it. In the past, the accounts of these public properties were managed by the Xu family, and the old lady only skimmed them once a year and did not ask in detail.

The Lin family didn't know that the Qin family could have an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan, among which the second room where Qin Zhili, Marquis of Qingrong, was the largest, not counting the thousands of acres of fertile land and mountainous land on the fiefdom of Marquis Qingrong in Runan. Now in addition to the ancestral ancestral land, only some distant Qin family heirs live, the house has been exempted from rent for many years, and all the proceeds are only for the repair of the ancestral ancestral hall and the daily expenses of the people of the Qin family.

These benefits from the public property have flowed through Xu's hands, and Lin secretly thought that it is no wonder that she has become more and more generous over the years, even if she puts it for a few days, the profit must be enough for her mother and daughter to spend.

Qin Zhili handed over many of his collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings to the old lady, which was counted as adding boxes to Jinyi. Although these things can only be made up of five or six quintals, they are all high-quality and unique, and they are worth a lot of money.

Mama Yin came today, firstly, to report that the marriage of the Qin family was handled by the lord of Yunhui County, so that the Qin family could rest assured, knowing that although the princess could not go to the palace in person, she still attached great importance to this matter. The second is to roughly talk about the number of things hired first, so that when the Qin family prepares a dowry for Jin Yi, they will not treat her too lightly.

The prize was 9,999 taels of silver, and the wedding cakes, three animals of seafood, fish and fresh poultry, sugar tea, rice crackers, and incense cannon bracelets totaled 120 quintals.

The Lin family listened to it and secretly said to himself, most of the dowries of ordinary families in Jianye City are one or two thousand dowries, thirty or fifty quintals of dowry, Chuchen Wangfu This is the posture of asking to marry a princess, Jin Yi Even if it is the concubine of the Hou Mansion plus a five-grade good doctor, this gift is really too heavy.

The old lady was very happy in her heart, the palace gave such a heavy gift to the meaning of this family business, fortunately, she thought about the second room, now in addition to Qin Zhili, there is only one Jinyi who is reliable, so she took most of the property in the second room, otherwise only Jinyi's shops and some fields would be too cold to take it.

said to Mama Yin kindly, "The princess also knows that there is not much left in Sister Yi's mother's property in her hands." Her father and I have already added a lot more to her, and the one hundred and twenty dowries of the ten miles of red makeup will definitely be ready by then, so that Sister Yi can marry beautifully. ”

Mama Yin smiled, "The old lady feels sorry for her granddaughter, and in the future, our princess will definitely take care of Sister Yi for the old lady, so you can rest assured." ”

The old lady laughed and asked again, "How did you get Yunhui County to return to Beijing?" ”

"Brother Ming is five years old, the county lord wants to send him back to Beijing for enlightenment, and the old marquis and the old lady also agreed, this time I am afraid that he will have to live for many days." Mama Yin replied with a smile.

The old lady remembered that she had married her eldest daughter in the northwest and had not returned to the province for more than ten years, and she really missed it, "The princess is a blessed one, although Yunhui is not her biological child, but she has a deep relationship with her, and she has only been married for a few years, and she has to find a way to move back." ”

Mama Yin knew that she missed marrying the eldest daughter of Weiyuan Hou, and said with a smile: "Although the northwest is not as prosperous as Beijing, it is much stronger than the bitter cold land in Beisai, and the northwest is too far, and it will take at least a month to go on a trip." Mrs. Gu is now the housewife in Nafu, and everything is tiring, and she is not as comfortable as the county lord just being a daughter-in-law. ”

The old lady nodded and said yes with a smile. Mama Yin talked about Jinru's family affairs again, "Sister Ru's son will be recruited in two months, and the princess wants to add some dowry to her when she says it." There are many happy events in our two families this year, and I heard that the eldest lady also talked about Chen Shangshu's family affairs. (To be continued.) )
