Chapter 100: Yuyuan
Mrs. Wu's heart suddenly became very chaotic, and she couldn't figure it out.
The sixty-four dowry was placed in the front yard of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion at this moment for everyone to watch.
But everything related to Jiang Xuan's marriage, Mrs. Wu has to do it with great fanfare.
Therefore, many relatives and friends gathered in the front yard of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion today.
Jiang Chenghua, Marquis of Jingyuan, is the only son of the old marquis, and most of the people from the Jiang family are uncles and relatives, and the other main ones are the Jiang family of the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the people of the Wu family.
In addition to these relatives, there are many female relatives who are close on weekdays, including the other two families on Rong'en Street, Yanguo Mansion and Wuding Marquis Mansion, and of course, Chengping Marquis Mansion is also indispensable.
At this time, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion came to Mrs. Wu's side.
"It seems that Mrs. Shizi's family background is very strong, and you finally didn't give so many dowry gifts in vain!"
The second lady knows the ins and outs of this family affair very well, and no one knows better than her how many dowries the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion has sent, looking at the full makeup stacked in the courtyard, I am afraid that it is not comparable to the dowry.
Mrs. Wu didn't answer her words when she heard this, but just barely squeezed out a smile.
Lu Qingrong's dowry was completely beyond her imagination.
Mrs. Wu was also a little impatient, and took advantage of the fact that there were few people in the courtyard to take Mother Lu to take a closer look.
The first one was a plate of various jewelry, which was not very conspicuous compared to the things in the back.
This is exactly the makeup that Princess Chengyang rewarded Lu Qingrong.
Although Lu Yiduo and Yin Pingru were a little reluctant in their hearts, after all, the identity of the princess was there, and according to the strict hierarchical rules of the Great Qi Dynasty, they had to take it for the first time.
And when you look back, it's getting more and more exaggerated.
Regardless of whether the things are good or bad for the time being, just talk about the dense way of placing the Lu family, Mrs. Wu and Mother Lu are the first time to see each other.
Even on the rosewood carved stepping bed, there are all kinds of objects, mirror boxes, lampstands, vases, table clocks, and tents of various styles in different seasons. Everything here can be taken out as a separate lift.
Looking further back, the same is true.
The wardrobe was filled with clothes for the seasons, and the dresser was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, and objects such as desks and piano tables that were not easy to pile up, but they were large and small, and several tables were put together to be counted as a lift.
Not to mention those large and small camphor wood boxes, whether they are ornaments, jewelry and utensils, or silk satin, clothes and bedding, they are all full, and it is difficult to stretch out a finger to get in.
No wonder the people who just carried the dowry all looked very struggling.
"This Miss Lu Si's dowry doesn't look less than the dowry we sent!" At this time, Mother Lu finally couldn't help but sigh.
She doesn't need to say this, Mrs. Wu can see it herself.
At this time, Lu's mother seemed to have suddenly discovered something: "Look at these makeup gifts in the back, how do you feel so similar to our dowry?" ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she also looked at Lu's mother's line of sight, and sure enough, she felt very familiar.
Just take a closer look, you will find that it is not a dowry gift sent by the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, but the types of objects are very similar, but they are all changed to different styles.
"It seems that the Lu Mansion has really put a lot of thought into it."
Mrs. Wu's tone was inevitably a little yin and yang.
But after thinking about it, there was still a lot of real money in the dowry at that time, which was not seen on Lu Qingrong's dowry list, so he opened his mouth a little slowly: "After all, it's all something on the surface, just for others to see!" ”
I don't know if I said this to others, or to comfort myself.
Mother Lu understood Mrs. Wu's thoughts, and she said that "it is indeed a little flashy", but in her heart she felt that it might not be the case.
These makeup dowds placed in the yard, a discerning person can see at a glance that even if it is dismantled into one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, there is nothing wrong with it, but the Lu family is forced to stuff it into the sixty-four lifts, so low-key and unassuming, is it also for others to see?
Moreover, if the silver taels on the dowry list were less, it would be reasonable, but now it is not a question of how much, but not at all!
Then she couldn't help but think of another possibility, the silver taels that Lu Qingrong married were not listed at all.
Mrs. Wu couldn't have imagined this, but she really didn't want this to happen.
"Hurry up and call more people to come, and carry these makeup dowries directly to Yuyuan!" Mrs. Wu commanded.
"Look...... Is it to wait for the person who sent the makeup from the Lu family to leave before carrying it over? Mother Lu felt that this seemed a little inappropriate, so she hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"No, you don't." Mrs. Wu still insisted, "Go now!" ”
Looking at these things in front of her, she couldn't suppress the annoyance in her heart.
Lu's mother had no choice but to nod yes, and went down to call someone to carry the dowry to Yuyuan.
At this time, Lu Yizhong and Lu Chengjie also came to Yuyuan.
According to the customs of the Great Qi Dynasty, Jiang Xuan was supposed to come forward to entertain the people who came to give makeup. But today, Lu Yizhong and the others have not seen Jiang Xuan's shadow since they entered the door of the Hou Mansion.
According to Mrs. Wu, it was he who was unwell and inconvenient to meet visitors.
Lu Yizhong and Lu Chengjie, accompanied by the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, came to visit Yuyuan.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw two pink-clothed maids walking towards me, with eyebrows and sideburns, exquisite makeup, and after walking past them with a smile and a smile, I could still smell a strong mixed fragrance, which made Lu Chengjie can't help but sneeze several times.
Walking further in, I found that there were really a lot of maids in this elm courtyard, and they were all like the two I saw at the door, grease and powder, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Lu Chengjie frowned, and couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard about the Marquis of Jingyuan in the past.
And Lu Yizhong was also a little puzzled in his heart, the prince was still sick, but the maids in the courtyard were dressed up one by one, and they all talked and laughed, where was there a little bit of the rules of the Hou Mansion, but the housekeeper who led the way next to him looked like he was blind, as if he had long been accustomed to the surroundings.
When I walked to the door of the inner room, I met two green-clothed maids, who walked out of the house with a posture like willows and picturesque eyebrows.
This time, even Lu Yizhong couldn't help but look at it twice, only Lu Chengjie still walked forward without squinting.
When they entered the inner room, they found that Jiang Xuan was not resting in bed as they thought, but sitting in the outer room of the inner room reading a book, although the dark pigment robe on his body made his face extremely pale, but he did not have the slightest sense of weakness.
Seeing them come in, Jiang Xuan immediately put down the book in his hand and looked at the two with a smile.
"We came here today with makeup, and I heard that the prince was in poor health, and I thought I would come over to visit to rest assured." After saluting, Lu Yizhong took the lead in speaking.
"It was morning, and it's all right now." Saying that, Jiang Xuan immediately stood up, "I didn't go to greet you in person, I hope you two won't be surprised." The dowry is in the front yard, right? Why don't I go over now? But the man stood there motionless, not at all looking like he was going out.
When Lu Chengjie on the side heard this, he couldn't help but slander in his heart, how did they answer?
However, as soon as Jiang Xuan's words fell, Lu Yizhong didn't have time to respond, when he heard a somewhat noisy voice from outside.
"Lord Shizi, Mrs. sent someone to move all those makeup dowries to the Yu Courtyard, and they are now placed in the courtyard in front of the hall." One of the green-clothed maids who had just gone out came in to give a farewell.
Lu Yizhong and the others couldn't help but be very surprised when they heard this, are they done reading it? It's too fast!
And Jiang Xuan, who originally didn't pay attention to the dowry at all, also began to be a little curious when he heard this.
This is not at all like Mrs. Wu's style of acting!
"It's closer. Let's go, I'll check it out too! ”
After speaking, Jiang Xuan took the lead in walking out of the inner room.
When everyone came to the courtyard, they only turned around for a short time between those makeup gifts, and Jiang Xuan had some understanding in his heart.
Today it was Mrs. Wu who asked him to stay in Yuyuan to rest and prepare for tomorrow's marriage, and he himself was happy and quiet, and he didn't want to join in the fun.
Now that he saw that Lu Qingrong's dowry was so unexpected, he regretted a little that he didn't go to the front yard, and Mrs. Wu's expression when she saw these must have been very exciting......
personally sent Lu Yizhong and them to the gate of the Yu Courtyard, and Jiang Xuan turned back to the courtyard.
Walking through the various makeup piles there, remembering all the things when he saw Lu Qingrong in the Lu Mansion that day, the moment Jiang Xuan stepped into the inner room, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, I'm afraid that some people's wishful thinking this time was wrong......
