Chapter 38 Giving Dowry and Fighting for Glory (2)
Although Xiahou Yi said that there was a lot of trouble with the Xiahou family some time ago, in order to divide the sect, even if the matter of the Xiaowen family was reported to the yamen, in fact, not many people knew the news, and to save the face of the Xiahou family, this is also a condition for agreeing to Xiahou Yi's separation, otherwise according to Xiahou Yi's previous character, I am afraid that it would have broken the sky a long time ago!
In view of the fact that Xiao Wen's family is a member of the Wen family, and the Wen family is also the in-laws of the Xiahou family, so Xiao Wen's family is only encircled in the ancestral hall of the Xiahou family, and will often be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha in the future, but for a person like Xiao Wen's heavy desire, the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha is probably more cruel than death! Xiahou Yi is actually quite satisfied with this result!
Therefore, the number of people who led the Xiahou family to come to the Qianqing Palace to receive the dowry was still considerable, and the Xiahou family simply broke their heads for this appearance, but when they arrived in the palace, they were all gentle and polite.
Xiahou Yi was a little uneasy, this dowry was sent to the Horse Mansion, and there was about half a month left before the wedding, it was impossible for him not to be nervous, and Yuanjia asked him to pay the bottom, Xiahou Yi is now worried about what to do when the prince or Emperor Kangtai is embarrassed.
In this anxious waiting, Emperor Kangtai did not come forward at this time, of course, it is okay for the prince not to come forward, but the prince still appeared not to mention that he also brought a lot of cronies and court women to watch the ceremony, and after the three knocks and nine bows in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, Xiahou Yi finally understood the purpose of the prince's arrival!
Generally, people marry daughters including: real estate, field property, furniture, daily necessities, calligraphy, painting, antique ornaments, clothes for the four seasons, curtains, jewelry and playthings, etc., Lan Qiduo's is no exception, but the real estate has become a fief, and the princess has her own fief, not to mention that Lan Qiduo is the princess of Emperor Kangtai. The princess's fief will not be taken over by the royal family until she is a hundred years later, so they are always tolerant and generous to the princess who wants to marry, whether it is the Lan royal family or the internal affairs government. After all, it is a married daughter, and the fief will always be taken back one day.
Lan Qiduo's fief was originally the rich six regions of the south of the Yangtze River, and now because of her marriage, Emperor Kangtai also assigned the three places in the northwest that had just settled to Lan Qiduo, fortunately, those three places have not paid taxes for the imperial court for ten consecutive years, not to mention the sparse population of the war, the apprentice has no interest at all, whether it is the imperial history or the royal family, no one has any opinions.
What other comments can be made? The princess's fief can only collect taxes, and cannot interfere in the management of the state capital, not only do those three places have no taxes but also the imperial court also sticks them back every year, if Princess Yuanjia takes over those three places, not only is it not a good place, but it is likely to be a burden.
And then there's something else.
"Furnishings: a five-screen mirror table with red sandalwood dragon and phoenix (with a set of red satin embroidered gold double happiness words), a pair of red sandalwood carved foreign glass large inserts, a pair of red sandalwood foot pedals, a red sandalwood carved dragon basin frame (with a red satin embroidered gold double happiness flower draped a gold basin), 20 pieces of red sandalwood carved boxes, 20 red sandalwood carved boxes, a pair of red carved cabinets, red carved lacquer table lamp, red sandalwood carved Fushou even three mirror branches (with a big red satin embroidered gold double happiness word mirror curtain), gold small ingots Xi word lamps in pairs, red sandalwood even three pairs, Rosewood carved big case pairs, red sandalwood carved frame a few beds (with the big red satin embroidered gold double happiness tent), vermilion lacquer carved dragon and phoenix box 20 pieces, vermilion lacquer carved dragon and phoenix box 20, small leaf red sandalwood throne one point (with the gold satin embroidered dragon and phoenix Chengxiang holding the golden double happiness word Ruiyun all over the ground descendants of all generations by the hand to meet a penny golden spinning silk tomath single incense a pair of feet one). ”

The eunuch recited a full cup of tea in frustration before finishing the furniture, not including the decorations, the people standing next to listen had different faces, not to mention the eighth princess, even the clan could feel the thickness of Lan Qiduo's dowry, but the princess, Princess Liang and the old lady of the Tu family looked as usual, and the princess of Zhijun nodded to the old lady of the Tu family and said: "Your Royal Highness's dowry is well prepared, and she has the demeanor of a royal princess." ”
The old lady of the Tu family had red eyes in a place that others couldn't see, and she didn't want to provoke criticism on the big day, looking at all kinds of people with different eyes, she said in a small voice: "Your Majesty is a righteous gentleman, most of the queen's dowry is in it, and the prince is also a good child, and everything is left to Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
The crown princess and the princess couldn't see the old lady's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The prince said that Yuanjia is a daughter's family, although she is a princess, she always marries into someone else's family, and he himself is a man who does not lack these." ”
Everyone, including the eighth princess, couldn't say it in their hearts, but it was much better than before, at least not everything was given by the father, otherwise the eccentricity was too powerful! They are not qualified to buy the mother's things.
"High relief fishing wood carving, twenty-four filial piety character screen, mahogany inlaid jade screen, green Han jade pen holder, red sandalwood seat, green jade bar head tube, Han jade bichime, red sandalwood frame with jade half a piece, red sandalwood seat, black lacquer pen inkstone table, Han jade pen holder, green jade relief turquoise pen holder, red sandalwood seat, Han jade water sheng, white jade relief lotus leaf wash, red sandalwood seat, copper paperweight, spring, summer, autumn and winter four seasons pen holder, green jade ink bed, Li Tinggui ink, Cao Sugong ink often should be three ingots, carved landscape flat end inkstone, The rectangular pond is inkstone, the lotus is open and the mud inkstone is on each side. ”
"Your Majesty really pays attention to the teaching of your children! Even the twenty-four filial piety screens were given to Her Royal Highness the Princess. "The military department Shangshu touched his goatee, although he was in the military department, he was also the leader of the year, and his knowledge was very good, especially like all kinds of screens, and the twenty-four filial piety screens were especially precious because they were rare in the world, and now Emperor Kangtai even took out this, and he was greedy.

Xiahou Yi listened to the long list of dowries, as well as the expressions of everyone in the Xiahou family who were about to overflow, and guessed that His Majesty and the crown prince really had ulterior motives!
He is confident that the dowry he gave can be described as the first one of Daqi under reasonable circumstances! At the beginning, there were a total of 120 sets of recruitment gifts, and he couldn't change the rules of the two people, so the 240 people were each eight feet long and a strong man with two tops, but now the dowry they prepared for Yuanjia has become 136 units, and it is also called "Imperial Gift!"
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fear that surpassing the crown princess's dowry would be against the etiquette system, Your Majesty would have been able to come to 160 units! In this way, each of these one hundred and thirty-six dowries is about to overflow, and Xiahou Yi can even see those strong men wearing a thin single coat in this cold season, and their heads are sweating! Ignoring those envious, jealous and hateful eyes, Xiahou Yi only felt that there was only one last thing left to save face, and that was the return gift to Emperor Kangtai on the day of the wedding!
This huge dowry is a topic of conversation for the next six months, and the rest have princes and nobles marrying daughters, no one can beat the limelight of Lan Qiduo and Xiahou Yi's wedding, and secretly I don't know how many daughters' families have bitten the veil.

Some of the juniors of the Xiahou family whispered to Xiahou Yi flatteringly: "Cousin, I don't have to worry about Her Royal Highness the princess's fat powder money now." Your Majesty has already done it for the princess! ”
Xiahou Yi didn't even raise his eyelids, someone bumped into the person who spoke, since ancient times, the lord of Shang has been mixed, there are many concubines in the previous dynasty who were exterminated because of angering the princess, especially Princess Yuanjia is so loved by His Majesty, Xiahou Yi still doesn't know how good it is and what is bad, so he is not jealous of Xiahou Yi, and even thinks that it is good to divide the sect. When the time comes, Xiahou Yi will not bother them if he has something. (To be continued.) )
