Chapter 609: Add makeup and dowry
How the saints, the queen mother, the queen and the concubines in the inner garden of the palace fought and played tricks, Situ Jiao would not pay attention to it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, as the auspicious day continues to approach, she has no time to distract herself from anything other than her family's affairs.
Whether it is the Han family or Situ Kong, it is the first time to marry a daughter, and this daughter makes them feel deeply sorry, so the more they face the auspicious day, the more anxious the parents become.
Even the list of dowries was refreshed again and again, so that Situ Jiao had to stare at the maids and daughters-in-law of Qingyun Pavilion to comb the dowry again and again.
In private, Situ Jiao complained to Situ Yang and Zhou Yaqi more than once: "Look at my father's mother's appearance, I don't know, I still think that my father and mother are only my daughter, and if this continues, the Anning Hou Mansion will be emptied!" ”
"Isn't it good for your father and mother to hurt you? Besides, have you earned less money for the house over the years? Compared to the family business you earned for the house, what are these dowries?! Zhou Yaqi glanced at Situ Jiao and smiled.
"I'm just helping to adjust the idea and model of business, where can I make money?" Situ Jiao frowned in annoyance.
She really doesn't think she has done much, so that her father and mother can't wait to collect all the good things in the world and give them to her.
She was really shocked by her father, if she let them continue like this, her dowry would not be able to control it at all, even if she had the title of county lord, but she could not go past the royal county lord and princess.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her father and mother at all, and Situ Yang and his wife couldn't persuade each other about this matter, not to mention that the couple themselves felt that it was appropriate to give Situ Jiao more dowry, so when there was no way to ask for help in the house, Situ Jiao had to ask Li's mother to send letters to Fang's and Chen's respectively, and asked these two to come to the house to help her dissuade her.
When the Fang family and the Chen family heard the news, they were really a little crying and laughing, even if they wanted to make up for the debt to Situ Jiao, it was not like this.
After the Fang family and the Chen family came over to the mansion to laugh and scold at the Han family and Situ Kong, they finally let Situ Kong and the Han family come back to their senses, but at this time they stopped, obviously it was a little late, and the dowry vault of Qingyun Pavilion had already changed from two to three.
Fortunately, Situ Jin's dowry was also slowly purchased, so after some picking, on the day of adding makeup and drying the dowry, Situ Jiao's dowry was still very amazing.
According to the customs of Nanling Kingdom, the fifth day before the auspicious day is the day when the bride shows her dowry at her mother's house, and it is also the day when relatives and friends add makeup.
Situ Jiao grew up in another college, and she has only been back home for more than three years, so she really hasn't made many little sisters, but there are many people who have been blessed by her medical skills, and she has more or less made some little sisters, so there is still an endless stream of people who come to Anning Mansion to see the dowry today, and today's Qingyun Pavilion is very joyful and lively.
Han's own dowry was not expensive, and she gave most of the dowry to Situ Jiao.
In order to make up for the debt to Situ Jiao, Situ Kong asked Han to allocate another 10,000 taels of silver from the public school to Situ Jiao's dowry, and selected some antiques and fine calligraphy and paintings from his own private treasury to enrich Situ Jiao's dowry.
The quite rich dowry of the Jianguo Mansion naturally did not leave a single thread, and all of it was filled into Situ Jiao's dowry.
Therefore, Situ Jiao's dowry was placed in most of the courtyard of Qingyun Pavilion.
In addition to these dowries, soon the dowries from all over the place were sent in one after another.
The old general of General Han's Mansion alone sent two large boxes of makeup to Situ Jiao, as well as Fang's aunt and Sun Qian's eldest cousin, and they were indispensable to send rich makeup.
My aunt Han Minfang made a special trip from Tiecheng and sent her own makeup and the makeup of the two cousins of the Wei family.
Situ Jin's future mother-in-law, Zhao Wu of Tiecheng, couldn't come over in person this time because her eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so she had to ask Han Minfang to bring makeup to Situ Jiao for her.
The eldest princess asked her eldest daughter-in-law to send makeup from the eldest princess's mansion.
The ladies and ladies of Mrs. Zhou's mansion came to see the dowry and sent the makeup.
……
Coupled with the makeup of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hui and Princess Yuyao who were delivered in advance, the courtyard of Qingyun Pavilion was almost crowded.
Just when everyone was dazzled by the dowry and makeup in the courtyard, the queen mother and the queen were sent from the palace, which was really a great honor.
After the dowry, Qingyun Pavilion was busy again, except for the large pieces of furniture that needed to be sent to the Jianguo Mansion in advance, these dowries had to be put into the box one by one.
The dowry is really a lot, and each cage is pressed tightly, originally according to Situ Jiao's meaning, it is enough to get a hundred and eight lifts.
But looking at the dowry in the courtyard and the house, Situ Jiao didn't need to count it and knew that one hundred and eight lifts would never be able to be cleaned up, so she had to let Mother Li pick up the important things first.
When one hundred and eight lifts were packed, Situ Jiao looked at the many dowries that had not yet been confiscated into the cage, and silently accepted Han's suggestion to increase the number of dowries to one hundred and twenty-eight.
Fortunately, there is also a Situ Jin who is about to get married, fortunately, there are other female dependents in the Anning Hou Mansion, and those exquisite silk satins can stay in the mansion, fortunately......
Otherwise, let alone one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, I'm afraid that no more than fifty lifts will be accepted.
"Hongling, press the cage again, this gold-inlaid cloud brocade was found by the Hou Ye from the south, and he has to bring it over anyway. And this one, that one, that one......" Han pointed to the brocade that was picked out by Situ Jiao and put aside, and said to Mother Li, who was busy sweating in the winter.
Mother Li straightened up and looked at the brocade that was fingered by Han's fingers, and the sweat on her forehead was even happier.
Situ Jiao is also a waterfall sweat, and when Han pointed at her, the brocade she picked out had to be put into the cage, but it had to be able to fit in!
If you follow the Han family to clean up, you really have to add another cage, which is unacceptable to Situ Jiao.
Hurriedly grabbed Han's arm, asked her to sit down on the side, and personally served fragrant tea to Han, then smiled: "Mother, those brocade daughters have brought them with them." These are specially left by the daughter to make new clothes for her mother, sister-in-law and second sister.
Thinking that the saint got married, as the current queen of the crown princess, the dowry is only one hundred and sixty-eight, not that the Zhou Mansion does not have that strength, but that the ancestral rules cannot be broken.
Although our family is the Hou Mansion, and our daughter also has the title of county lord, she can't always surpass the county lord and princesses.
Mother, you say that's the reason? ”
After squeezing his eyebrows at Zhou Yaqi, Situ Jiao was telling the truth, and after Han sighed, he had to obey Situ Jiao.
After packing up the one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, Han looked at the final dowry list, and was still stunned for a while at the rest of the things, obviously still a little dissatisfied with this dowry.
It's just that when Han personally touched and pressed the dowry cage, he knew that these things couldn't fit no matter how good they were, so he had to take a dowry list and go to Situ Kong to discuss. (To be continued.) )
