The people on both sides of the long street watched with great envy as the dowry procession passed by, and then went away.

Although the Xiao Mansion did not open all the vermilion lacquer boxes for the dowry, no one doubted that there would be a lack of dazzling gold, silver, jewelry, and silk satin.

As early as before, several major silver buildings and clothing shops in Changzhou City had some rumors, and the Xiao Mansion spent an astonishing amount of money to prepare the dowry of the county lord of Le'an, and even took out a lot of good things.

So everyone just regretted that they couldn't see these precious things with their own eyes.

In this prosperous era where fresh clothes and angry horses can spend a lot of money for the singers, everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong with Xiao Mansion marrying a girl more luxuriously.

And because of Xiao Fu's deliberate restraint and unassuming, everyone's eyes fell more on the extremely gorgeous Qiangong stepping bed. Before the dowry was brought into the Hua family's garden in Changzhou, some people had already begun to inquire about where the bed was ordered.

Naturally, there were also well-informed ones, and it quickly became clear.

When they knew that this bed was also thought of by the people in the county lord's mansion, everyone was even more amazed, and they couldn't think of it.

There are already famous families in Changzhou who are ready to visit Xiao Mansion to see if they can make such a bed for their daughter as a dowry.

More people feel that seeing such a bed is also a long insight and satisfaction.

The dowry team finally came to the Hua family.

Nowadays, even if two families are close to each other, especially the wealthy and noble, their dowry and dowry will go around the city to show their boasting.

The drumming of the Hua family soon also played, welcoming the dowry.

Just as the wedding ceremony of the Hua family was placed in the main hall of the county lord's mansion for an objective look. Xiao Yu's dowry was also placed in the main hall of the flower garden.

The people who have their own Xiao Mansion open the dowry list, and every time they read the same, someone will open the corresponding vermilion lacquer box. Spread out, not long after the hall was already full of jewels.

Although the Hua family's dowry was also very rich, when they saw these dowries, especially all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, piled up in the dowry box without money, the Hua family originally looked down on Xiao Yu's thoughts of farming in the countryside and couldn't help but put it away.

In a short time, the hall was full of red makeup.

As for the Qiangong stepping bed, the people of Huafu had naturally never seen it, and their eyes almost couldn't help but stay on it.

The dowry list is finished. Handed over to the person in charge of the Hua family, this Huanghuali peony curly leaf Qiangong step bed was moved by a few strong men to the outside of the new house, and it will be in the auspicious time to make a bed. The blessed ones are moved to the auspicious places and placed properly.

The so-called blessed person refers to the blessed person whose parents are in a high hall, where brothers and sisters live in harmony, who love husband and wife, and who have both children, so as to bring good fortune to a new couple.

Because this bed was so large that it was impossible to move directly into the new house in its entirety, Xiao Fu had already selected more than a dozen equally blessed craftsmen. Divide this bed into sections. Carry it into the room and put it together, and then wait until the auspicious time to move the people to the right place.

Then the bed is made by the Blessed One.

Out of curiosity, everyone couldn't help but ask the craftsman about the process and structure of this bed.

The craftsman first wanted to show the intention of the Xiao Mansion to purchase the dowry, and secondly, he also boasted of his craftsmanship, so naturally he did not refuse.

So everyone knew how this bed was made faster than Xiao Yu.

The materials of this Huanghuali Peony Leaf Curling Leaf Pulling Bed are almost all high-quality Huanghuali wood, and the whole is dark red.

Huanghuali is produced in Lingnan, the wood is solid and delicate, and the feel is warm and moist like jade; The wood grain is as beautiful as flowing water. Crab claws and civet cats are formed, which are beautiful; It can also be used as a spice. Its smell is fragrant, quiet and gentle, and it is one of the precious woods.

There are more than 20 kinds of mortise and tenon joints in this thousand-worker stepping bed, more than 500 components are all connected by mortise and tenon joints, and it took more than 200 craftsmen to make these components just by beating more than a month's time, and they rushed to work day and night to carry out careful carving and repeated polishing, which shows the huge amount of labor.

If a shop undertakes to make such a bed, it will not be completed in two or three years.

Hearing this, everyone took a breath of cold air: how did Xiao Mansion find so many skilled craftsmen to make this bed? There are more than 200 people, I'm afraid there are not so many skilled carpenters in the entire Changzhou City, right? How much thought did the Xiao family put into this marriage?

But it's no wonder that this bed is known as a thousand workmen.

After listening to such a simple introduction, everyone was even more envious when they looked at this Qiangong stepping bed.

And those who have a heart decide to start preparing early, and it is naturally unrealistic for them to find hundreds of craftsmen to make such a bed in a few months, but it can take two or three years to order such a dowry for their daughter.

As he spoke, the stepping bed had been assembled.

I saw that this Huanghuali peony curly leaf Qiangong stepping bed was full of five entrances, and almost half of the new house was occupied, which was really like a house in a house.

From the outside, this step bed is a bed couch placed in a wooden hut, the wooden platform of the hut is surrounded by twelve carved columns, inlaid with peony curly leaves, and there is a pair of nestled pulsatillas on the peony branches, implying that the white head is rich; At the front are wide doors, with openwork floral panes on both sides and on the back walls, and a relief canopy roof at the top of each entrance, with steps below.

Entering the corridor of the bed for thousands of workers, entering the corridor is like stepping into another room, the front is composed of carved columns, hanging down, leaning on the eaves flower cover, etc., and the left and right are multi-treasure grids, which can be placed antique ornaments; In the middle of the second and third entrances is a foot pedal, on both sides of the table and crescent stool, for the maid to rest, next to it is also the antique calligraphy and painting of the multi-treasure grid; The fourth is a bookshelf, and there is a bookcase next to it.

There are a few people who are blessed with antique ornaments and put the four treasures of the study on the table.

The innermost is the bed of the riser, separated by a gauze curtain between the fourth entrance, and there is a blue gauze cabinet in front of the bed, and on the left side of the bed are two small cabinets with two buckets and two doors, a silver lampstand on the top, and a dresser, and the rhombic mirror makeup is readily available, and you can get out of bed to sort out the cloud sideburns, and the thrush is rouge; The other side is separated, and there is a toilet box inside, and the toilet is placed in the box with a tightly fitting lid, obviously to prevent odors from escaping, and it is very thoughtful.

There are also shelves on top of the bed for placing things at hand.

The carvings of this stepping bed are also very exquisite. In addition to the peony curly leaves on the outside of the white head rich carving, the inside is also mostly auspicious patterns, plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, mandarin duck butterfly, as well as a hundred sons, a hundred flowers, eight immortals auspicious clouds, lotus, pomegranate, gourd, phoenix luanbird, magpie Dengmei, Erjia Chuan, unicorn send, five sons Dengke, ** phoenix, and concentric and so on. Line carving, relief, carving, round carving at the same time, the knife is skillful, the figure modeling is also vivid, delicate, lifelike, everywhere is very exquisite, breathtaking.

Everyone didn't know what to say except for the admiration they couldn't stop admiring.

Not long after, the master of ceremonies sang the auspicious time has arrived, a few blessed men moved the bed to the good position of the early "auspicious side of life, the auspicious side of the house", the idler retreated, and then the blessed people will be happy to be paved, so that a few children who have been selected early to match the eight characters roll on the bed and play for a while, implying that Tian Ding is rich; Then put all kinds of happy fruits, lotus seeds, lilies, longan, red dates and other things, implying that the newlyweds will be together for a hundred years and have a noble son.

After the bed is made, no one is allowed to enter or leave the new house.

After the people from the Xiao Mansion came back in the evening, Xiao Yu also knew from Xiao Wensong the reason why this Qiangong Pulling Bed could be made in such a short time.

However, it was not the craftsman invited by the Xiao Mansion.

Although this person was in the name of the county lord's mansion, neither the Xiao Mansion nor Xiao Yu knew anything about it, but Xiao Yu quickly guessed that it should be Hua Yue's doing.

Although I don't know how Hua Yue knew about her custom-made thousand-work stepping bed, and how she invited these craftsmen, it was difficult for Xiao Yu not to be moved after hearing the news.

In his previous life, Xiao Yu did not get married and started a family, and he didn't even fall in love. She is also an ignorant girl in love, but because she has more than half a lifetime of experience, she is a little more rational than those women who are just beginning to fall in love. She originally had a good impression of Hua Yue, but as she got along for a long time, she gradually lost her original impulse, and she felt that her original strong feelings had faded.

Now Hua Yue's attention has made Xiao Yu indulge again. If you can really be white-headed with a lifetime, what more can you ask for?

The dowry is sent over, and there are two more days to welcome the marriage. (To be continued......)
