Chapter 340: Dowry
Qian Yiyuan's little pot friend was born when the Qian family was the richest, and the full moon banquet was extremely lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are not only the in-laws of the Liang family, the Wan family, and the Cui family, but also the Shouwang Mansion, the Fu family, and the eldest princess's mansion, which have good relationships, and almost half of the faceable families in the capital have come to He.
Zhu Sujin has already begun to study in the cabinet, and he still took leave to come to the Qian family to congratulate him on this day.
Qian Sangui and Qian Manjiang accompanied the male guests in the outer courtyard and opened more than a dozen tables. Wu, Pan Yue, and Qian Yixiu accompanied the female guests in the inner courtyard, and there were more than 20 tables, not only the wives and grandmothers of those families came, but also many unmarried girls.
The Liang family has the most people, Liang Lao Guogong, Liang Guogong, and Liang Jinzhao are all here, and the female dependents are Mrs. Liang with the second grandmother Zhang, the eldest girl Liang Jinyu, and the second girl Liang Jinjing. Liang's grandmother Cui died less than a year ago, and it was not easy for her to go to the family for a happy event. The Pan family is the same, they came to give gifts on the first day, but they didn't come today.
Qian Yiyuan, who was wrapped like a little red pepper, was already beautiful, and was held and displayed in a circle, and received countless praises. Pan Yue was much plumper than before, and her full moon-like face was full of smiles, less cold than before. Such a little lady is not like a fairy who is out of the world, but more like a happy little woman in the world. Qian Yixiu prefers such a little lady, and such a little lady is the happiest.
Before eating, Qian Manjiang suddenly sent someone to the inner courtyard and asked Pan Yue and others to take the child to the outer courtyard to pick up Yizhi. It turned out that the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager of Ci'an Palace, as well as Concubine Yang De and Concubine Zhao Shu, all gave gifts to the little guy.
There was another burst of envy and praise from everyone.
This kind of lively scene, even Qian Yixiu felt that there was a fire cooking oil and flowers blooming.
When the guests were sent away, the Qian family returned to peace. The tired old man Qian went back to his courtyard, and Qian Sangui and Wu led their children and grandchildren back to the main courtyard. Qian Manxia, who was pregnant again, did not leave, and Wan Dazhong and his two children also went to the main courtyard.
Qian Sangui beckoned Qian Yixiu and Qian Manxia over, pulled the two of them and said, "Ming'er, Jing'er, and Yuan'er, the three of them were born in a good time. Poor Xia Niang and Xiu'er, when they gave birth to you, their families were so poor that they couldn't afford to eat, which made you suffer a lot since you were a child. Now that the family is getting better, I discussed with Man Jiang that Xiu'er would marry and accompany a lot of dowry. also has to make up the dowry for Xia Niang, so she can't be wronged. β
Qian Manjiang also smiled, "Yes, my brother was not at home when my sister got married, and the family conditions were not as good as they are now." Now it's okay, it's time to make up for it. β
Pan Yue also said, "Yes, I should give my sister-in-law more dowry." β
So, Qian Sangui gave Qian Manxia 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 acres of land, two shops, a three-entry house in the capital, and jewelry and ornaments worth thousands of taels. Together, these things were worth more than 30,000 taels of silver.
The properties of those big families were sold for sale, and the Qian family bought 10,000 acres of land, ten shops, five Zhuangzi, and four houses. There are not only those near the capital, but also those in Jiaodong, Jiangnan and other places.
When Qian Manxia took the silver ticket and the title deed, as well as a large box of jewelry, she was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes, and even said, "Sister Fang'er's dowry and Brother Fu'er's daughter-in-law's silver are available." β
Wan Dazhong also quickly got up and hugged his fists to thank his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother and sister-in-law, and he was so happy.
Although the official of the Wan family is quite big, Wan Erniu is the deputy commander of the second grade, and Wan Dazhong is the leader of the third rank of the guard. But the foundation is shallow, and there is almost no family background before. Even if the emperor has rewarded a lot, Qian Manxia's shop is also helping to sell special and profitable glass, but it is still far from the rich family. In particular, I feel that Wan Dazhong's two younger sisters have suffered a lot, and half of the family's wealth has been given to them as dowries. The remaining half wants to buy some property, and also wants to save a dowry for Fang'er and a dowry for Fu Ge'er, as well as some essential personal contacts, so the Wan family lives very frugally.
With these things, Brother Fu'er's dowry and Sister Fang'er's dowry will be very rich. Wanjia will not be so thrifty, Wanjia does not need to be thrifty, and the days when the money is full will be moisturized.
After dinner, when the old man and Qian Manxia's family had left, Qian Sangui began to talk about Qian Yixiu's dowry again.
The furniture is almost all ready, wedding dresses and other clothes, several clever mothers and girls are nervously busy, and some will buy ready-made ones in Xiangyun Pavilion. Gold, silver, jewelry, ornaments, fabrics and other things that should be prepared have been prepared, and several large warehouses have been piled up. What Qian Sangui wants to give today is the most valuable industry and the silver in the box.
Qian Sangui's opening remarks were, "Most of this family business is earned by Xiu'er, and I originally wanted to give Xiu'er half of the dowry to accompany our Qian family, but Xiu'er disagreed, saying that she would keep more for her younger brothers and sisters." The dowry gifts given by the Liang family will be given to Xiu'er together, and our family will give these things ......"
It turned out that when he was in Huaxi Village, Qian Sangui divided the property there into two in order to prevent his early death and his family business from being robbed.
Later, Qian Yijin was changed to Zhu Sujin, so he shouldn't have given him the Qian family's property, and the deed was changed back to Qian Sangui's head. In fact, the Qian family still gave Zhu Sujin the industry, and it was the most given among the children, which was the thirty percent of the shares of the glass factory, which was the most profitable industry at present.
Qian Sangui said that the industry in Xishan County gave Huaguo Mountain to Qian Yixiu, as well as the Lotus Cosmetics Factory that is moving to the capital, and the cooperation with Wuxi Tea Garden. On the side of the capital, there are a share of the glass factory, a peach courtyard and a thousand acres of fields, as well as a shop and a three-entry house in the city, and two shops and a thousand acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. The lotus pond will not be given, and in Shili Lotus, the Liang family also has hundreds of acres of lotus ponds.
In addition, he gave Qian Yixiu 20,000 taels of silver to press the box.
The above things, except for the shares of Yicheng Glass Factory and the Lotus Cosmetics Factory, which are the most profitable and difficult to calculate their value, all the other dowries add up to about 100,000 taels of silver.
Pan Yue also took a lot of ancient calligraphy and paintings, antique ornaments, jewelry, brocade silk and a few masterpieces of Grandpa Pan from her dowry. These add up to 50,000 taels of silver.
For so many years, although Qian Yixiu has been committed to making silver, he has not been in charge of silver. With so much wealth in her hands all of a sudden, she was still a little excited.
She returned the jewelry made of pearls in the cave pool to Pan Yue, and said, "These pearls will never be available again in the future, so my mother will keep them for herself or give them to her younger siblings." β
Of the pearls in the cave pool, Qian Yixiu took some of them to the third noble grandfather, but the two most valuable white pearls and blue pearls were not taken out. These two beads are too dazzling, and people like them better not take them out and use them. Keep it for the future or in times of distress to the royal family, or do business with people.
Qian Yixiu's four girls blue beads, purple beads, white beads, pink beads, and Mama Zeng will follow her to Liang's house. Lan Zhu is old and has already made a marriage, and her fiancΓ© will follow as a companion. It's just that Lan Zhu is very useful, let her serve for another year, and then release her out of the house to marry after a year.
I also chose a good four-room family as a companion room. Among them are the Baizhu family, that is, Cai Laotou and his son Cai He, daughter-in-law Yu, and youngest grandson Cai Xiaoji.
Old man Cai is old, and he has retired to retire home to support his old age. Cai He became the chief shopkeeper of the newly established Yixiu Commercial Company, in charge of the sales of products under Qian Yixiu's name, such as the sales of lotus cosmetics, glassware, Jin'e tea and other items, which is equivalent to the role of Qian Hua of Jinxiu Company.
And Lan Zhu's fiancΓ© Wang Xi turned out to be a small housekeeper in the Qian family's account, and this time he went to an embroidery firm to be a big account.
Qian Yixiu has been busy sorting out various industries here, and it has been the end of the month in a flash. It's almost the New Year, the capital is lively, and the Qian family is even more lively, because many relatives have come to Xishan County.
Li Zhandong was admitted to the examination in the autumn, and Qian Xiang and Li Gufu accompanied Li Zhandong with their eldest grandson Huzi to take the spring examination, just to attend Qian Yixiu's wedding.
The next year is the first year of Yongqing, and the emperor will launch a series of benevolent measures. First of all, the tax will be reduced by 20%, and there will be an increase of 100 Jinshi and 100 Tongjinshi in the spring. Originally, Enke was supposed to be added, but this year itself has a spring festival, and the emperor is pragmatic, in order to reduce unnecessary waste, he will add people at the time of spring.
Hearing that Qian Xiang and a few people were coming to the capital, the Qian family's big house and second room were also moved. It is said that it is said to embroider and add makeup to the money, and at the same time, the big room should look at the money and goodness, and the second room should look at the money. Therefore, Qian Dagui, Wang's family, and Qian Manchuan led Duoduo and Jinwa to come, and Qian Ergui and Qian Manhe led Dewa and Shengbao to come. I heard that the Tang family was still coming to find Qian Manduo, so they secretly followed them, and they were all discovered when they followed Wenzhou, and they invited the dart bureau to send her back.
The Qian family has a lot of yards, so they cleaned up a yard for the three of them to live in.
Wang heard from Wang that Qian Manting had been taught by the grandmother who came out of the palace, not only had a better temperament, but also raised his value. Wang also blushed and made this request to the Wu family, "Although my family Duoduo did not marry into the capital, her in-laws are also big families and have relatives who are officials, so they ......."
Now Mama Zeng is busy with Qian Yixiu every day, and she has no time. Wu asked Jing'er's upbringing Mama Hu to give some advice.
When Wang heard that Mama Hu was actually a female official from Cining Palace, he was so happy that he recited Buddha again and again, so that Duoduo must follow and study hard. There are not many girls who have been taught by such a grandmother, even in Ji'an Province, and the in-laws will definitely take a high look.
Originally, Duoduo wanted to live in Xiangxue Courtyard and have fun with Qian Yixiu, but now I don't have this time, and I follow Mama Hu to learn etiquette every day.
He also sent someone to pick up Qian Manduo and Li Acao, and the two of them lived in a courtyard with the second room.
Old man Qian saw that so many children, grandchildren, and daughters had come to Beijing, and he had to sit at two large tables full of food, and his eyes were hot with joy. In the morning, Lei didn't move to drink tea and listen to books, and in the next day, he chatted and laughed with his children and grandchildren.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the men of the family went to the small ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and had a lively reunion dinner.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Sangui and his son, Wu Shi, Pan Yue and Qian Yixiu went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings according to their makeup.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Manxia's family and Qian Manting returned to their parents' home. Because there are many men in the family now, Wan Dazhong and Huo Lixing were accompanied by men in the outer courtyard, and Qian Manxia took the child and Qian Manting to the inner courtyard. Qian Manting was also pregnant, and people saw her other girl, Mei'er, combing the woman's hair again.
Qian Manting said with a smile, "Now that I have a body, I let Mei'er serve my husband again." β
Wu and the others rewarded Mei Girl with gifts.
Duoduo quietly asked Qian Yixiu, "Why didn't Aunt Xia give Xianggong a room girl when she was pregnant, why did Aunt Ting have to give Xianggong a room girl when she was pregnant?" β
Qian Yixiu smiled, "Aunt Ting is virtuous." β
Duoduo asked again, "Sister Xiu, are the four beautiful girls who are prepared for her husband?" β
Qian Yixiu said very simply, "No, I'm not that virtuous. β
Duoduo also smiled, "I won't either." He pouted again, "However, Mama Hu also taught me, saying that if the husband wants to take a concubine, it is best to let him accept my girl, so that it is easy to control." However, I don't want my husband to take a concubine. After saying that, he blushed.
Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "If you don't want him to take a concubine, you won't let him, there is really no need to be as generous as Aunt Ting." β
In the blink of an eye, in early February, many relatives and friends began to come to Qian's house to embroider and add makeup to Qian Yi.
In the third year of junior high school, Liang Jinzhao led several brothers and friends to bring Eli Lilly to the Qian family to urge makeup.
On the fourth day of the new year, the Qian family gave a dowry. One hundred and twenty-eight carried a real dowry, and walked for most of the day. The dowry was placed in the courtyard where Qian Yixiu lived, which made the rich and noble daughters of the Liang family really envious.
Old man Qian didn't know that his son had given Qian Yixiu a lot of property, but just seeing so many dowries being carried out one by one, he still felt distressed and had liver pain. But he also learned to be smart, he didn't dare to say it, and it was useless to say it.
Except for Mama Zeng and the four personal girls, the other rooms went to the Liang family first.
Mrs. Quanfu is Mrs. Fu, the wife of Fu Gelao, and she is also the bed that went to be made on this day.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the third noble grandfather began to feel uncomfortable, and his eyes were always red. Wu whispered that he hadn't slept well in the past few days and had cried. As long as Qian Yixiu has time, he will accompany him in the main courtyard, holding his arm and listening to him.
Qian Manjiang was also reluctant to give up his daughter, feeling that she was about to get married before she got along with her daughter for long. But he and Pan Yue are both self-aware and know that they can't rob his father.
After dinner, Wu said Qian Sangui, "Boss, you let Xiu'er go back early to prepare, she and her mother must have something to whisper......"
Qian Sangui nodded with red circles in his eyes, and waved his hand to let Qian Yixiu go back. He was speechless, afraid that he would cry out as soon as he opened his mouth.
This made Old Man Qian and the rest of the Qian family a little incredible, thinking that Qian Sangui was still such a mother when he became a marquis, and he couldn't even compare to a woman.
Qian Manjiang, Pan Yue, Jing'er, and Ming'er all returned to Xiangxue Courtyard with Qian Yixiu. Qian Manjiang chatted with Qian Manxiu for a long time, and when it came to emotion, he was also a little choked. After that, the little lady gave them a look, and Qian Manjiang took the child away.
