Singing the dowry is a wedding custom, and everyone likes to listen to these, the more elaborate the dowry preparation for marrying a daughter, the more it shows the importance that the family attaches to the married daughter, and whoever marries such a daughter-in-law will have more face.
Daqi has always had a tendency to compare dowries, but no one will have such a big deal as Emperor Kangtai, and there is a life for the woman to mutter, Her Royal Highness the princess will not need to buy a bucket of children and grandchildren in the next twenty or thirty years, and what kind of towels and the like, I am afraid that they may not be used up if they are used up at the bottom of the box, these are also true.
There were also people who squeezed their eyebrows and congratulated Xiahou Yi: "The medicinal materials prepared by His Royal Highness for Her Royal Highness the princess can be opened in a medicine shop, Lord Xiahou is so blessed!" As the saying goes, form complements form, and it will be a lot of blessing in the future. ”
Xiahou Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing that they had heard the deer antler velvet and fur dog kidneys inside, and there was no way to explain it, speaking of which Yuan Jia was not in good health, and the medicinal materials for dowry should be, but these were also things used by men, and he didn't know what His Majesty had in mind.
Xiahou Yi at this time, in addition to making the expression on his face too stiff, the only thing left is emotion, he has always wanted to compare Emperor Kangtai in the dowry, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking, Emperor Kangtai even prepared the girl's rouge and hair oil for Yuanjia, and the loving father is probably talking about Emperor Kangtai.

When the eighth princess heard this, she couldn't help it anymore, and quietly said to the fifth princess on the side: "Whatever you say is the queen mother's thing, the big red feather veil and white fox skin crane is simply the Northwest Prefecture Mujin dedicated to his father, my mother has always liked that crane, and my father didn't give it, it's partial!" ”
The fifth princess is a person who likes to read, although there are unhappy things in her heart, but she doesn't like the eighth princess to think that she is a fool, so she glanced at it lightly and said, "When will Liu Wanyi be qualified to use big red?" How did Hongu not know? ”
"You ......" the eighth princess's angry face rose. The seventh princess shook off directly: "There are no rules!" "Her mother and concubine didn't dare to think about the big red feather veil and white fox in the skin, when will it be a Wanyi's turn?
The long dowry list was just thinking about it for more than half an hour, and everyone went from the initial curiosity and amazement to the final numbness and indifference, and even Ken Kohata, who was on the dowry list, exhaled, fortunately he drank a lot of fat sea the night before, otherwise this throat would be terrible.
After reading the dowry list, he glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince's head, he smiled and waved at Xiahou Yi: "Congratulations to Lord Xiahou, you can start your day!" Don't miss the auspicious time! ”
The people around Xiahou Yi took out a red envelope: "There is labor!" ”
The little eunuch took the red envelope and wiped it inside, which seemed to be a piece of paper, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time has arrived!" Please ask Lord Xiahou to carry the dowry...... Road ......"
As soon as he touched the red seal, he knew that it was a silver ticket, and his voice was full of joy. And Princess Liang, Mrs. Tujia, and Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi are the accompanying Mrs. Decree and are responsible for furnishing the furniture.
Although the dowry is a great event, it is not a marriage, so there is only the sound of firecrackers and rude music when passing through the intersection along the way, even if you look at the lively people or the streets and alleys are surrounded by water, the long one hundred and thirty-six dowry has entered the West Street house, the last one has just left the palace, the first to start is the Kangtai Emperor and the prince and the harem concubines of the makeup ceremony, followed by the dowry, the dowry is really full, almost everyone is dazzled, There are other dignitaries and dignitaries who chartered the teahouse to see the dowry of the eldest princess of Yuanjia there, even the most calm girl can't be calm when she sees it.
Xiahou Yi is not that stingy person, whenever there are adults and children running to him, Xiahou Yi always asks people to grab a handful of candy and the like, plus Lan Qiduo's luxurious dowry, it is boiling all the way, it is not lively, but everyone is happy.
And somewhere in the middle of the city, in a remote place, this discussion could not be heard at all, as quiet as any previous day.
It was still the small closed courtyard, or the two servants sitting or leaning there to bask in the sun through a wall, and the small dark room was still dirty and unrecognizable Chakgan.
Because it's winter, the smell inside is slightly better than in summer.
There is a lot of handwriting drawn on the wall by Chuck Gan, and I can vaguely see some of it, but I don't know if it's the dog Rong script used by Chuck Gan, in short, there are few people who can know it.
The two guards were a little more lax than they had been in the previous months, as if they had expected Chuck Gan to die of old age, and even the older one at first began to slacken, and he would take a nap when the young man got out of the dog's hole.
In the afternoon, Chakgan listened to the slight snoring outside, as if he had not spoken for a long time, and his hoarse voice said in the canine dialect: "Don't do anything, leave as soon as the time comes." Our goal is just to get out and not do anything to attract attention. ”
I don't know who he was talking to, no one answered him, only the whisper of "tuk tuk" came from the ground where he was sitting, and for a long time Chakgan never said a word again, still looking up at the only small window in the house, but the slight light in his eyes made him a little different.
