Then, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to teach Mama, and first checked Yun'er's body to see if she was suffering from illness and whether she was ...... virgin. After the passage of guò, the palace sent a formal dowry, also called "enlarged ding" or "nacai". Yun'er's dowry is quite beautiful, with clothes, silk, jewelry, etc. filling a courtyard, as well as a dowry of 20,000 taels of silver tickets. Then Mama from the palace began to teach the royal rules, etiquette and taboos that the prince should be familiar with, and began a month-long teaching course, and even Yu'er Shui'er, Jiang Mama and Lin Mama were also strictly trained. Mrs. Chen gave a lot of benefits to Mama Jiaoyin, so after a month, Yun'er was not treated harshly and severely reprimanded.

The tailor palace maid measured the size of Yun'er's side Fujin dress and went back to make zuò, and the rest was the day when Yun'er was to be married, and her parents and relatives continued to make a dowry for her.

Yun'er's parents, uncles, cousins, cousins and others were in full swing to buy dowries for Yun'er during this period. Because on the day before the wedding, the woman's family wants to accompany the dowry and send the dowry to the husband's house, commonly known as "passing the box". Chen Dabin and his wife used a total of 50,000 taels of pawned antique silver and the prince's dowry silver to buy most of the dowry, and the rest was left for their daughter: to cope with the court's favors and expenses at any time. Although it is said that Fang Fujin has enough monthly silver, if there are any special circumstances that cannot be sent, it is always better to have more money in your hands.

Of course Yun'er refused to take all the money away, her father and mother raised herself once, and she worked hard for half her life, how could she only take care of herself? Just the day before his wedding, he put a silver ticket of 5,000 taels in the drawer of his father's study.

Yun'er's dowry is quite rich, just the four seasons clothes, shoes and socks are loaded with more than 20 lifts, there are brocade, ancient satin, flower soft satin, Beijing embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, all kinds of styles, patterns. I didn't have time to do it at home, so I made it to order in several well-known embroidery workshops in Beijing. In addition to clothes, there are all kinds of fabrics, underwear, jewelry, furniture, bedding, tents, curtains, all kinds of furnishings, antiques, jewelry, jewelry, etc., all of which are of good materials. Let's talk about the furniture, they are all very exquisite, tables and chairs, bookcases, wardrobes, hangers, bogu shelves, basin racks, large wardrobes and pull-out beds are all made of rosewood. The bookshelves, Bogu shelves, and antique shelves of Dobaoge are all made of sandalwood. Yun'er's dowry was more beautiful than that of the main wife of a large family, and Mrs. Chen was a little pleased. I never dreamed that my daughter would marry the prince, these dowries are not only decent, but also very practical. It is enough for two lifetimes to wear and wear.

In Yun'er's dowry, the jewelry is very decent, all of which are relatively superior in the Shunzhi era: jasper dragon and phoenix hairpins, crystal diamond hairpins, white jade bell hairpins, gold silk phoenix hairpins, Jingfu long hairpins, gold silk inlaid jade bracelets, white jade carved twisted silk bracelets, agate silver inlaid jade bracelets, East China Sea coral beads, ruby double dragon play bead bracelets, Baizi Ruyi pattern bracelets, inlaid ruby flower earrings, agate greenstone pendants, Dongzhu earrings, crystal step hairpins, Qibao pearl hairpins, pearl sideburns hairpins, point emerald hairpins, gold-inlaid jewelry Tianhua, Manchurian women's special phoenix, Mantian, pearl necklaces, gold lock collars, double dragon bead collars, gemstone rings, crested hairpins, various jade pendants, delicate sachets, purses, embroidery, tents, curtains, etc., etc., etc. The head and face jewelry alone is packed with two lifts.

The variety of cloth is even more dazzling: a variety of patterns of silk, Luo, brocade, satin, silk, silk, yarn, silk, Wu Aya, pattern silk, Hao yarn, shearing, etc., each of which has a lot of patterns. I don't know where the cousins who gave Yun'er dowries bought them from. After asking, I learned that they bought it from Suzhou and Hangzhou through someone they knew in Tongzhou. There are also a lot of cotton, homespun cloth, blue calico and other cloth sold in the capital cloth village.

The bedding and pillows are all good brocades with patterns such as dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, mandarin ducks playing in the water, peacock opening screens, and rich peonies. In Yun'er's dowry, there are also a certain number of calligraphy and paintings, the four treasures of the study, and exquisite furnishings, all of which are things that can be taken out. Even all kinds of pens and inks are packed in two large boxes, four large boxes of books, as well as delicate pen holders, paperweights, felt, framing tools, and so on. Cosmetics such as rouge gouache.

The most eye-catching are the antiques: jade, porcelain, pottery, bronze, wood、...... Packed a dozen or so boxes. There are also those exquisite furnishings, all of which are exactly sixty-four lifts. When it was carried up to the general's mansion, a long procession was blowing and beating, and it was festive.

One of the screens that belongs to fine gold craftsmanship is particularly eye-catching. Fine gold is also called filigree process. It is a technique of drawing gold, silver, copper and other metals into filaments, stacking them, and weaving them. The materials are rare and complex, including stacking, base, weaving, weaving, pinching, filling, saving, welding eight kinds of processes, to go through modeling, molding, welding, acid biting and other procedures from being able to become semi-finished products, and then burn blue or gold, silver plating treatment, particularly troublesome. This screen is the most valuable of Yun'er's dowry.

It may be that Yun'er is used to pretending to be a boy, and she doesn't have much love for jewelry, clothes, etc. at all. It's a cutscene for her. She knows that the happiness of marriage does not depend on the amount of dowry, but when it comes to this point, it can only be natural.

When Yun'er's dowry was carried to the General's Mansion, the royal family members who came to watch all smacked their tongues, the insiders gave a thumbs up, and the laymen shook their heads and sighed. Lord Rui's little woman is really unique.

Prince Zheng Jierharang's son Jianjun Wang Jidu is a very straightforward person, and after looking at Yun'er's dowry, he said: "I heard that the father of the second brother of Fuyou's new Fujin is a Hanlin scholar, with a six-grade official residence, and it seems that he is not cheap." The implication is obvious, how could the people in the Qingshui Yamen have such a large amount of financial resources to get such a rich dowry for their daughter.

When Fu Jin heard this, he smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Brother Jidu's good eyesight, it is not because Lord Chen has strong financial resources, it is he who took out a few ancestral antiques from the family and exchanged them for silver for his daughter as a dowry, he is an expert in appreciating antiques, and he usually loves to collect these elegant things." There are a few ancestral valuable antiques at home, and Lord Chen is the county governor of Zunhua, and he wants you to know the name of his incorruptibility. Besides, Lord Chen and his wife only have this one daughter, and it is understandable that the dowry is decent. The implication is that the dowry does not come from greed.

Chen Dabin is really right when pawning antiques, these shrewd princes, county kings, and grandfathers are used to finding faults. Especially their women, their eyes are sharp and their language is poisonous, which ordinary people can't imagine. If Yun'er's dowry is not beautiful, they will laugh at shabby, and when they are beautiful, they will think about her father's greed, and there are a lot of cool words waiting for them. Fortunately, King Jian Jun had no malicious intentions, but just teased the prince. He often jokes with a serious prince, when he was young, Prince Rui didn't have a side room, and at the age of thirty-seven, he suddenly accepted the side room for the first time, so he had to find fault and joke. He didn't dare to lead the topic to the lust of Lord Rui, but it was not too much to use antiques as a topic to ridicule.

Sure enough, the prince just smiled and passed without making any excuses.

Those royal family members are accustomed to house fights and house fights, and they have to find fault with others with one mouth, and Yun'er's pen and ink have also become the target of their attacks: "Ouch, this side Fujin of Lord Rui is still a talented woman, look at these pens and inks, it is really a spectacle in the dowry, and it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented...... Hee-hee......"

Fu Jin was very angry: Are you here to see the dowry or are you here to pick on the thorns? But he couldn't express it on a large scale, and still said gently: "This is a favorite of our Fujin on the side of the house, where can we say that talent and virtue are such a profound thing." We women are dressed up on weekdays, housekeeping or something, and there are days when we have idle muscles, and we have time to write and draw a few strokes is also a pastime, which is better than the peace of mind of the rooster and goose fighting. ”

As soon as they heard this, they knew that Splendid Fujin was fighting back against them, and everyone quickly silenced.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Dabin was invited to the house by the prince and Fujin. The prince has always been in contact with Chen Dabin as a brother, and now he has become a son-in-law and wants to change his words. Then it shows that whether it is a big or small silver is the rule of the royal family, the side Fujin has a canonized gold book, and is the official wife of the prince, and there must be an engagement procedure and a dowry process, which is justified. No matter how many silver taels it is, the woman just accepts it. The prince was afraid that Chen Dabin would send the rest of the silver back, and the two of them gave their daughter a dowry, which was simply a catastrophe and poured out of their pockets, what should they do in the future?

Hearing what the prince said, Chen Dabin had nothing to say. Who can break the rules of the royal family?

Chen Dabin also politely entrusted the prince, Yun'er is young and an only daughter, and she is pampered at home, if there is anything out of proportion, please ask the prince Fujin to teach more. Fu Jin smiled gently: "Sister Yun is a scholarly lady taught by Lord Chen, and she is very polite. Adults, please rest assured, the prince and I can only cherish Sister Yun and will not be embarrassed by her. We are looking forward to Sister Yun adding people to the house next year and spreading the branches. ”

The more he is afraid of something, the more he is afraid of something, what Chen Dabin is most afraid of is that his daughter will give birth, he has never associated the birth of a child with his daughter, and his face turned white at that time.

After Chen Dabin left, the prince smiled and complained to Fu Jin: "Why do you want to scare Lord Chen? ”

Fu Jin didn't understand the prince's words: "You said that the concubine scared Lord Chen?" But the concubine didn't say anything terrible? ”

"I heard that Lord Chen cherishes his daughter very much, and Yun'er is the pearl of his palm, you said that you are looking forward to Yun'er adding people to the house next year, doesn't it mean that Yun'er will have a child? Sometimes, this father hurts his daughter more than a mother? ”

Fu Jin covered his mouth and smiled: "No matter how distressed you are, you have to let your daughter get married, right?" What girl doesn't get married? If you get married, you have to have children. How many women don't have children? Lord, the concubine is really sorry for you......"

"Look, look, here we go again. Isn't it less sinful for you not to have children? How has this king blamed you? ”

"The more you treat your concubines, the less you blame your concubines, and the more your concubines feel sorry for you. In the future, when you marry Yun'er, you must cherish her like you do to your concubine. However, you also have to work harder, and you can rest assured that you have sons and concubines earlier, right? ”

The prince took Fujin into his arms: "Xiu'er, if it weren't for the master who arranged this matter, this king would not have married the side room anyway." Isn't it important to have children or not? If it is because of the child that we are divided between us, this king is guilty. I thought that Yun'er was only seventeen years old, and this king was thirty-seven years old, a generation apart, and he still had to do the husband and wife's thing. It's really hard ......."

"Lord Wang! You are a big man, and if you marry a woman, you have to do the things of husband and wife, otherwise you can't live with others, you look at Prince An, Prince Xian, which Chitose is not a woman of ten or eight? The concubine has long advised you, but you don't listen. Fortunately, it was the Master who said that you agreed. ”

"This king has never understood why Master did this."

"You also know who Master is, and it's right to listen to Master. Let's quickly order someone to settle the dowry that Yun'er brought over. Pick out the ones you want to use and put them in the new house, and if you don't use them, you have to install them and seal them tightly, and then you can place them yourself after Yun'er passes the door. Also, your clothes must be ironed properly, you are the prince, you must dress decently, and there must be no inappropriateness. ”

Looking at Fujin's arrangement and nagging, the prince's heart was hot: This woman is too virtuous, right? Isn't she sad about her husband's concubine like this?

When Mama was about to end the lesson, she taught Yun'er the things that must be followed on the wedding night, and Yun'er was ashamed and afraid. Yun'er is seventeen years old, of course she knows what it means to get married, but she taught her grandmother to say that the prince is a military general, and the wedding night may be rougher, and you must not resist, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, which makes Yun'er suddenly have a strong sense of fear, and even panic all day long. She didn't dare to ask her mother, she couldn't tell her, and of course she couldn't ask her father. A few days before the marriage, the mother saw her daughter's strong anxiety and asked her what was wrong, Yun'er cried, and after repeated questioning by her mother, she told her mother what she had taught her grandmother. Mrs. Chen was angry and funny when she heard this, and comforted her daughter that she was not so strict, this was made up by the teaching grandmother, and she herself felt that the prince was a military general, and what would happen if she saw a beautiful young girl. Actually, what man doesn't feel sorry for his woman? Big men love women very much, and besides, we are the prince's serious family members, and we want to live together, and he will not pity them. Of course, Yun'er believed in her mother, so she was a little relieved, but she still didn't dare to think about it, and she was ashamed.
