Chapter 377: There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!
At this lunch, the food was "dark" and "the sun and the moon have no light", and the people who came to deliver makeup were all full of oil and happy, and there were 50 tables outside, basically every table was completely implemented the "CD-ROM" policy.
This is a bitter thing for the few stray dogs outside the Li Mansion who are waiting to eat some leftovers and cold rice after the banquet, and with such a large row of noodles today, they are destined to have no food to eat.
"Separation~! It's enjoyable, it's too enjoyable~! ”
"Hmm~! The Li family's food is really good~! Fortunately, I followed the master to deliver makeup today, and Zhao Sifang's little cub still wanted to change the guard with Lao Tzu when he came! Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't change~! Ha ha! ”
A housekeeper who came with Du Yanheng's makeup said proudly while rubbing his bloated belly.
"Hey~! If you change it, won't you regret it for the rest of your life~? ”
"Haha~! It's such a reason~! ”
"Hiccup~! Today this is just to entertain those of us who give makeup, and tomorrow is the official wedding banquet, I don't know how rich the wine and food should be at that time~! It's a pity that I'm not qualified to come and participate~! ”
"Go~! You kid be content~! The meal we ate today is enough for many people to envy for a lifetime~! The people who will come to participate in Lord Li's marriage ceremony tomorrow are all dignitaries~! Where can we get our turn~! ”
"Haha~! That's it~! Eat this meal and be content~! ”
………………
The lively banquet lasted until two o'clock (half past one in the afternoon), and more than 500 makeup deliverers rubbed their bloated bellies and left one after another under the leadership of the principals of each family.
Of course, many of the gifts on the ox cart did not have time to go, so all the ox carts were left in the Li family, and then returned after the wedding, anyway, there are signs of each family on it, and they are not afraid of confusion, and when they greet their relatives tomorrow, they can also be placed in the back of the convoy to fill up the pomp.
The people who delivered the makeup went home after eating and looking for their own mothers, but the people of the Li Mansion were busy, more than a dozen domestic servants were busy cleaning up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and the other more than eighty domestic servants were busy helping to carry the dowry classified in the morning to the Li family's treasury, which was a big project.
When Li Zexuan first went home a few months ago, he still felt that there were too many maids and servants at home, but now that he looks at it, the manpower is a little insufficient, no wonder the books often say that some wealthy families, there are more than 10,000 maids and servants, in this era, it is really not an exaggeration, because the stall of the big family is larger, and the current background of the Li family is still not comparable to those thousand-year-old families.
Today, the dowries sent by the Han, Li, Du, and Qin families are so much that the two courtyards of the Li family are almost full, and the Li family is not the kind of small door and small courtyard, the area of the entire Li Mansion is only a handful of several nearby squares, and the yard can be filled in this way, you can imagine how huge the number of gifts is, if you change to a small family, it is estimated that the house will not be able to be filled.
The warehouse of the Li Mansion is in the backyard, it is an independent three-story building, which is nothing more than some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade, of course, there are many copper coins, many, many copper coins, Li Zexuan came once, and he never came again, because he was not short of money to spend~!
Li Jingmo personally stepped forward to open a simple and heavy copper lock, and then took a few trusted family members in, and the rest of the people were outside to deliver all kinds of expensive gifts, and the people inside were responsible for placing the gifts in the right place.
The gifts that can be moved into the Li family's treasury are some more precious gifts, such as some more space-consuming, cheaper furniture, furnishings and other gifts, which can only be placed in the courtyard first, and have to be piled up. As for the rice, wheat, and meat in the dowry, they had already been arranged in the Li family's granary or sent to the Drunken Immortal Building.
According to Li Zexuan's previous plan, he originally planned to hoard and purchase a large amount of grain during this year's autumn harvest to cope with next year's locust plague, but now it seems that only half of the planned collection may be needed at that time, because half of the space in the family's granary is full of grain.
"Xuan'er, these are all Yuxi's dowry, you can't use them without permission in the future, do you know~?"
Mrs. Li stayed inside for a while and came out, she was a woman who couldn't help much inside, and Li Zexuan was also bored inside, so she slipped out with the old lady.
Knowing that her son was deliberately cheating and playing tricks, Mrs. Li smiled and didn't want to break it, she looked at the mountains of dowries outside, thought about it, and explained to her son earnestly.
In ancient times, a woman's dowry was generally the woman's private property, especially at this time, according to the law, the woman's dowry was protected by the law. When a woman marries into her husband's family, her dowry does not become the family's public property, but remains their private property. Not only can't the in-laws take it, but even the husband can't take it.
If the woman is divorced, or divorced, then the dowry can be taken away. If a woman dies, then the dowry belongs to her children, and if there are no children, the dowry will most likely go to the mother's family, and the husband will get half at most, which depends on negotiation, and it is also often prone to disputes over property.
Therefore, the rights of women in the Tang Dynasty were still very high, and they were protected by the government, unlike in the Ming and Qing dynasties, women were completely vassals of men. At this time, the woman still has her own property rights, which future generations dare not imagine.
"Mother~! If the child is saved, you can rest assured~! The child doesn't care about that money~! ”
Li Zexuan pursed his lips, he is a time-traveler who hangs the sky, no matter what happens in the future, he will not be reduced to the point of living on his wife's dowry! If that's the case, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him.
"Hehe~! My son has a future~! ”
Mrs. Li looked at her son's stinky appearance and couldn't help but smile lovingly.
"Haha~! That's not a good mother~? ”
"Flim Flam~! Alright, you go naughty! Go and see if there are any omissions for my mother, Xuan'er can't have any mistakes at your wedding tomorrow~! ”
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, and nodded her son's forehead angrily, after so long of family reunion, she now feels that she is getting happier and happier every day, the only fly in the ointment is that she has not yet fulfilled the wish of her children and grandchildren! But it's also fast, so she always feels motivated when she does things now.
"Hmm~! It's hard work~! ”
Li Zexuan said sincerely.
People say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this is really not wrong, if it is not for the second old man who is alive, he is busy with this wedding alone, he doesn't even understand the most basic wedding process, and he doesn't know how much mess will be made.
