After the ceremony, it is time to welcome the family. San Lang had already said that he would come to marry him in person that day. Before that, there is a very grand process, that is, the bride price is made for the bed.

A few days before the wedding, choose an auspicious day, put a quilt on the new bed, lay the sheets, and then spread the dragon and phoenix quilts, and sprinkle all kinds of happy fruits on the quilt, such as peanuts, red dates, longan, lotus seeds, etc. It means that the newlyweds give birth to a noble son early. The person who carries the bed. The people who make the beds and the people who sow the fruits are carefully selected "good people"—parents are alive, brothers and sisters are complete, and marriages are harmonious. When children become pairs, it is natural to hope that such a person can bring good luck to the newcomer.

Dowry means that the dowry from the woman's family is sent to the husband's house at the latest the day before the wedding. The dowry is not a trivial matter, it symbolizes the woman's family status and wealth and symbolism. Ordinary people will also make the scenery beautiful on the face, let alone the queen of a country.

The Great Sui was newly established after the usurpation of power by the Wang family, in fact, strictly speaking, it was a new dynasty, and San Lang, as the first emperor, was still under great pressure. Now the entire Great Sui is riddled with holes, the officials are uneven, and the people have no fixed place to live and have no food to eat. San Lang and Mu Fushu's big wedding at this time is also a way to enhance public opinion.

In ancient times, when there were major events in the country, especially when bad things happened, if there was a happy event in the middle palace or a happy event in the royal family, the court could take the opportunity to boost morale, which was also the means of the superiors, otherwise Yang Weiai would not be the first to agree to Mu Fushu marrying in front of him.

Originally, the bed and dowry were to be divided into two days, but because their marriage was already tight, Mu Fushu was not willing to work hard, so he simply chose to do it on the 28th day of the first month.

This year, the weather was good, and the weather got better after three snowfalls, and by the twentieth day of the first month, the snow had melted, and the ground was completely dry. After the dowry, Japan is going to splash water and clean the streets, and the red carpet is paved, which was vetoed by Saburo and Mu Fushu. Both of them are unwilling to do this kind of unnecessary trouble, the high-profile is high-profile, and there is no need to put on a score when it should not be high-profile.

On the morning of the 28th, the warm sun was shining. There was no noise in Chang'an City, and the people came to Anmen Street in advance and waited quietly.

The eldest princess's mansion is located between Anmenmen and Chengtianmen, which are not far apart. The dowry is not carried out directly from the eldest princess's mansion through Chengtianmen into Daming Palace, but from Anmen to Chengtianmen, almost bypassing half of Chang'an City. This is "showing the dowry", and there is a lot of dowry, and it is too late to welcome the palace gate if you don't go far.

Because it was the queen's dowry, in addition to the officers and soldiers sent by the Ministry of Rites, there were also the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Wuwei to protect the dowry. This was certainly not for fear of the dowry being robbed, but to show the royal majesty.

The first dowry is the bed to be installed today, which is a carved and thousand-crafted step bed that people of this era have never seen.

This bed is the one in Mu Fushu's space, which should be used by the emperor in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. The bed is covered and there are steps underneath. There are carved pillars on both sides of the front, hanging down, leaning on the eaves flower cover, forming a corridor. On the right side of the corridor, a small cabinet with two buckets and two doors is placed, and a clock, a hat tube, a vase, a dressing table, a tea set, and a lampstand are placed on it; There is a suitcase on the right. The second half is a bed, with carved door covers, hanging belts, and pillows in the upper reaches, and expanded carved and painted screens on three sides of the bed. The screen is a landscape relief glass that was later modified.

In addition to the original bed, other accessories of this bed are rear. Let's just say that the grandfather clock is not in this era, and other things such as vases, dressing tables, lampstands, etc., are unheard of and unseen, not only the people who are watching, but also the scholars who deliberately sit in the pù box of the shop along the street early in the morning to watch the queen's dowry.

The second lift is the vanity mirror.

This is a mahogany gold carved three-screen mirror stand. The countertop is fan-shaped and has three rows of drawers. The front is a large mirror, and on the left and right are gold carved flowers and crane pattern screens. The mirror base is decorated with moire and orb patterns. The countertops and screen frames are made of mahogany. It looks simple and elegant but full of luxury and exquisiteness, especially the large mirror, which clearly reflects the appearance of the front step bed, the people are stunned and amazed, and the women and ladies of the building are crowded in front of the window, just to take a look at the glass mirror.

The woman who had the good fortune to enter the inner curtain of the eldest princess said triumphantly: "That's a glass mirror." The eldest princess said that the queen mother has a recipe for manufacturing. It's just that now the people are struggling to make a living, and the glass mirror is expensive, so it is not mass-produced. ”

We don't lack copper coins! Many ladies and ladies here shouted in their hearts...... We are not too expensive, the queen mother is merciful to build this glass mirror as soon as possible......

Without waiting for them to be depressed, they followed the third, fourth, and fifth lifts.

The large home has a large mahogany desk, which looks like a flat-headed case, with drawers below and moire teeth under the panel; The mahogany vermilion lacquer carved straight carrying box, the outer bearing frame is composed of a rectangular base plate and a vertical column, etc., and the inner bearing rectangular box is four layers. The bottom plate is decorated with carved railings around it, and there are carved dragon sitting horns and teeth between the columns and the carved railings. Between the two groups of columns, there are six embossed cloud double dragon patterns, double lion patterns, double deer patterns, double monkey patterns, and double unicorn patterns. The tops of all the pillars are decorated with lotus patterns. The carrying box is used to hold small items such as food or clothes, shoes, gold and silver, fine and soft in the wedding honor guard; There are also mahogany carved wood cabinets, the front is painted with vermilion, the whole body is light, the front is a plane, only the door pivot has a yang line, and the lines are slender and straight......

Small furniture such as children and grandchildren bucket (toilet), foot washing chairs, basin racks, green Han jade pen holder, red sandalwood seat, green jade bar head tube, green jade holding pot, Han jade fairy mountain, ebony business silk seat, Han jade goose, Han jade chime, Han jade half wall, green jade bottle, black lacquer pen inkstone table, Han jade pen holder, Han jade water sheng, red sandalwood painting glass five screens, red carved lacquer long drawer box, carved red sandalwood rectangular box, red lacquer chrysanthemum fancy box...... It's all the same thing that everyone has seen, but it's not the same.

After the furniture is a decorative bottle, as large as the floor screen and as small as the vase ornaments, everything is delicate and small, among which Mu Fushu used the glass to the extreme, and the glass screen was not carried back as a dowry when San Lang Nazheng was made, but was replaced with a large sitting screen made of the whole stained glass blowing Wanli Jiangshan map, and this screen alone has eight people to carry.

Because there are still some people who are still displaced, and the title deeds and deeds are disordered, Mu Fushu's dowry this time does not represent the bricks and tiles of the real estate shop, so after that, it is her daily necessities, most of which are gold and silver jewelry and clothes and cloth.

There is no cloth in Mu Fushu's space, so she took out a lot of materials, good styles and more Chinese-style clothes, folded them and put them in the dowry, plus some precious fabrics prepared by Yang Weiai for her, and went out one hundred and twenty-eight sets in front of her, and one hundred and twenty-eight in the back were all her personal belongings.

Yang Weiai gave the dowry, there are six gold phoenix hairpins alone, which are inlaid with all kinds of pearls and gemstones, a gold-inlaid lapse and gold Fangsheng hanging, two gold-inlaid coral collars, eight pairs of gold bracelets, each pair weighs eight taels, two pairs of golden lotus butterfly hairpins, two pairs of golden lotus bonsai hairpins, a pair of golden pine Ling longevity hairpins, a pair of colorful purple gold Fangsheng, a pair of golden flower hairpins, a pair of peony carved hollow hairpins, a pair of double phoenix gold phoenixes, a pair of gold-inlaid jade steps, a pair of butterfly wings, two strings of pearl necklaces, and a total of 36 pairs of gold, silver, pearl and gemstone earrings......

The rest is all kinds of precious clothing, sheet gold, python satin, large scroll satin, small scroll satin, makeup satin, brocade, silk satin, yarn, silk, spinning worm...... Three hundred and sixty horses in all.

At the end of the walk is a full eighty loads of books, calligraphy and paintings. Those bamboo slips and bound simple picture scrolls that symbolize the thick history make the people around them silent, whether they are literate or illiterate, the worship of books is supreme.

These dowries totaled 356 lifts, the largest dowry in history, and since then there has been no one before or since.

Watching the lively crowd first exclaim "ahhhh

Especially as soon as the worthless trinkets brought by Mu Fushu from modern times appeared, the crystal Haoshi products sparkled under the reflection of the sun, which was more shocking than the gold, silver and gemstones.

Now no one said that the eldest princess's mansion had no money. On the contrary, they were all in awe: a princess is a princess! The heritage is profound! Look at the dowry! It's blinding!

Naturally, there are also people who have seen Yang Weiai get married sixteen years ago, and most of them are puzzled. When Yang Weng got married sixteen years ago, the dowry of the eldest princess was more than 200 lifts, and there was a small part of the queen's dowry this time, but most of them had never been seen! Where did these come from? Could it be that the emperor made up for it? Where did the emperor come from? Isn't the Huaiwang Mansion burned clean?

Of course, the questions are all pressed in the bottom of my heart, and no one will say it.

After dialing the bed here and entering the Qifeng Hall and the Hehe Hall, Mrs. Wen led the four-year-old Wen Jiashun and the five-year-old Wen Jiali into the hall to make the bed.

Mrs. Xue, a husband, children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, grandson and grandson, and her parents and in-laws both died after reaching the age of 80, which is a rare "blessed person". This time, she made the bed, and then the "golden boy and girl" she brought pressed the bed. According to folk customs, the groom needs to sleep with the bed boy for three nights before the wedding, because San Lang is the emperor, he is exempted, and only let the two children go up and roll on the day of making the bed, taking the meaning of "both children and daughters".

Xue was born in everyone, and married into a famous family, three in his fifties, and it was the first time he saw this magnificent stepping bed. There were three steps from the bed frame to the bed, which made her breathtaking, and at the same time, she added an indescribable layer of respect to San Lang and Mu Fushu.

It is said to make a bed, but in fact, it is a symbolic way to go up and brush it twice. The bedding on the bed had already been laid out by Aunt Xiyu, who had entered the palace first, with a hug qin and green smoke.

Because it was winter, the bed was covered with bright red velvet sheets, and the inside of the duvet cover was also velvet. On the back of the exposed is a big red brocade embroidered dragon and phoenix. The bedspread is also the same color and style, dial the barrier on the bed, the outer layer is embroidered with a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and the inner layer is a heavy gold silk palace satin, as long as this layer of barrier is put down during the day, no light can enter the bed, which is more effective than the modern sunshade cloth.

The dowry went from the middle of the day to the end of the afternoon, and the people who watched the ceremony didn't even have time to eat, and the three hundred and fifty-eight dowries caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an City.

After the dowry was gone, the two little ladies got down from an ordinary-looking carriage parked outside the princess's mansion at noon, and walked into the gate of the eldest princess's mansion with the support of the coachman and the two grandmothers. R1152
