Chapter 283: The Dowry

The dowry was sent over, and the levy was completed, and the next thing was the busiest time for the Jin family. On the day after Prince Rui ascended to the temple to worship Yue, the third master of Jin hurriedly informed the relatives of the Jin family in Wu County and the second master of Jin, Jin Zheng, who was far away, of the happy event.

A month later, the relatives of the Jin family came to the capital one after another, and they couldn't live in the west mansion, so some lived in the east mansion, and at this time, Chen Feng, who originally lived in the east mansion, had quietly moved into the sesame alley in the west of the city.

Prince Rui's dowry was a full 160 taels, according to the custom, plus 100,000 taels of dowry, totaling about 180,000 taels of silver. Since the Great Wu Dynasty, the dowries of the queen, the fourth lady, the crown princess, and the prince and princess are spent in the palace.

On the ceremonial record sent by the Ministry of Rites, there are furniture cages, cloth brocades, princess dresses, gold, silver, jade, copper and tin utensils, a total of 90,000 taels of silver.

Seeing this ceremony, Jin Min breathed a sigh of relief, it was really cost-effective to marry her daughter to the prince as a princess, not only to save a dowry, but also to receive a lot of gifts, and to earn a bride price of 180,000 taels. 180,000 taels, even the Jin family, which has a lot of money at home, is a huge amount.

But he was too happy, and on the third day of the delivery of the Yilu, Prince Rui sent someone over and brought a few words from Prince Rui.

"This king is married to the daughter of the Jin family, the living god of wealth, if there are only these in the palace when the dowry is passed, won't it make people laugh?"

It was from the Ministry of Rites who brought the words, and this benevolent brother was afraid that the third master of Jin would not be able to comprehend the will of the prince, so he patiently explained: "There is a saying that the Dawu Dynasty does not have a draft on the five grades, so the queens and the four ladies in the palace are all from humble backgrounds. Worried that their dowry would be lost, it was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But most of the crown princesses and princesses have always been from noble backgrounds, and if they still use the dowry undertaken by the Internal Affairs Office to deal with it, it will be ridiculous and generous. You also only have one daughter to be the princess, and compared to the prince of Zhenguo, this is still earning. ”

Zhenguo Gong is married to six daughters, and this dowry is not too much.

Master Jin San's heart hurt like a knife, thinking of the 180,000 dowry sent by Prince Rui, he felt a little better.

Xuanji and Linlang in Dongfu are both high-marryed, with a dowry of seven or eight thousand taels. but paid a dowry of 20,000 taels. Jin Chang's marriage was not only a few dowry. The Jin family also lost a few hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of this, the third master of Jin was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and asked the official of the Ministry of Rites: "What does the prince mean." How much more should the Jin family take? ”

The officer stroked his beard. Take a look around. As if he was afraid that he would be heard secretly crossing Chen Cang: "The prince said that the things on the records of the internal affairs office will be exempted, just put more things with a long face." For example, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, precious medicinal materials, ancient books and famous stones, the four treasures of the study, etc., are both elegant and extravagant, which is not rude. As for the money in the box, the prince said that 10,000 taels was enough. ”

The third master of Jin strooped his forehead, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books of famous stones, four treasures of the study and precious medicinal materials, these things are simple to say, but they are rich and difficult to find, the prince and son-in-law, you really have a vision.

It was July, and the wedding was in September, and the third master of Jin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but fortunately, everyone in the yamen knew that he was the father-in-law of Prince Rui, and he did not embarrass him, and made an exception to let him take leave to prepare a dowry for his daughter.

Hearing that Prince Rui asked the Jin family to give another dowry, Linglong was dumbfounded at first, and then laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

The dowry is all her private property, and except for the child she will inherit in the future, it will not be cheap to others.

Master Jin San had almost forgotten that he had her daughter, why did he let him earn a dowry of 180,000 taels for nothing, and wanted to marry his daughter without spending a penny, no way!

Prince Rui's partner is also sensible, and Zhengda Guangming helped her pry a private money.

Just for this, when she gets married, she will definitely help him teach those concubines well, according to what he said, teach them martial arts, and let them practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer.

All big families prepare dowries for their daughters a few years in advance, but Linglong is still young, and the Feng family is no longer in charge of the family, and the third master of Jin has always ignored this daughter, and now, Jin Yuan's dowry has been prepared as early as when Song Xiuzhu was in charge of the family, but Linglong has nothing.

Jin San wanted to transfer the ones prepared for Jin Yuan to Linglong first, and he remembered that Aunt Mei had chosen the seal stone for herself that day, so he took her and came to Wanghe Garden to see if there was anything decent in Jin Yuan's dowry.

When the cage was opened, Master Jin San was unhappy, why did Song Xiuzhu not appear on the stage like this, what is the difference between these dowries and the daughter of a nouveau riche, sent to the prince's mansion, it can only make people laugh at the Jin family's customs.

He was too lazy to do it himself, and said to Aunt Mei: "You have a good eye, go and take a look, but there are elegant ones, pick some for Sister Long." ”

Aunt Mei glanced at those colorful cages, and said with a wry smile: "Fifth Miss has a unique vision, let's ask her to pick it herself, if it weren't for the Fifth Miss who found out that Aunt Song mixed precious things in the big treasury as ordinary things, the concubine would not be able to send the two square seal stones to the master." ”

When Master Jin San heard this, he didn't have time to think about how his daughter could be proficient in this, so he smiled and asked people to invite Linglong to Wanghe Garden.

Linglong is busy making clothes with the knitting room these days, and according to the rules, she has to sew out four seasons clothes, shoes and socks for her husband. Of course, she was too lazy to do it herself, but she also had to make a show, and she had to sew a few stitches with her own hands on each garment......

Master Jin San sent someone to invite her, and when she heard that she was going to Wanghe Garden to pick a dowry, she responded from the bottom of her heart, so she rubbed it for a while.

When she arrived at Wanghe Garden, she had just walked into the corridor when she heard Jin Yuan's sharp cry from inside.

"This is all my dowry, why should you let that little hoof pick it first, father, do you still have my mother in your eyes, and do you still have me!"

It turned out that just in the time of Linglong's hard work, Jin Yuan, who got the news, rushed to Wanghe Garden first, and saw that the most valuable boxes in her dowry were all opened, and she was so angry that she almost went crazy!

Seeing that Linglong didn't come, but Jin Yuan came, Jin San was immediately displeased, and his face sank: "Nonsense, my father just picks a few things from you first, and then makes up for you. ”

Jin Yuan sneered: "What kind of system? Are you afraid of losing the face of your prince and father-in-law, or are you afraid of losing the face of the princess? It's just a prodigal who has a private relationship with a man, why should she grab things from me, is she worthy? ”

"What do you say? Say it again! Master Jin San yelled angrily.

"Just say, how do you think she got into the eyes of the queen's mother, it is clear that she and Prince Rui have long been secretly communicating with each other, last year's dragon boat meeting, Prince Rui went, she also went, how can this be so coincidental." Jin Yuan was originally full of cannon fodder attributes, but now she is even more open-minded, and she is becoming more and more unbearable.

The carved wooden door was open, only separated by a fine bamboo curtain, and the Linglong outside the door listened attentively, but the apricot rain and red silk and red embroidery on the side were already angry and red.

Linglong smiled at them and motioned for them not to talk too much.

Master Jin San was already furious: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Prince Rui did go during the dragon boat meeting, and his father had been waiting there to greet him, but when he heard that a lady had fallen into the water, Prince Rui was upset, so he turned around and left! At that time, Sister Long and you were still on the painting boat. Obviously, you did such a ridiculous thing, but you accused Sister Long and Prince Rui of giving each other privately. Your scriptures have been copied in vain these days! Come on, send the third lady back to Chunhui Hall! ”

Jin Yuan wanted to scold again, Aunt Mei gave her a look, and the two stout mothers-in-law came over, pulled her and walked out.

Master Jin San was trembling with anger, and he didn't know how this daughter became like this, originally he couldn't bear to let Jin Yuan marry far away, but now he suddenly remembered what Nie said, and his heart still married her far away, and he was clean and clean, and then he would get into any trouble, out of sight and out of mind.
