Chapter 597: Dowry
After the official talks, Wang Wenqian invited Shouwang Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang, Feng Yi and others to live in Jianyuan in the northwest of Yangzhou City, so as to discuss the marriage of Han Qian and his daughter more closely.
The marriage contract with the Han family has also gone through several twists and turns, and the daughter of the dignified mansion finally became an old girl with yellow flowers, although Wang Wenqian's power has become more and more powerful, and no one dares to pass on some evil words to Wang Wenqian, Wang Jun's father and daughter, but the Wang clan has not chewed their tongues behind their backs over the years, let alone outsiders.
This time, Shouwang Yang Zhitang was hired by the media, which can be regarded as saving face for the Wang family.
When Jianyuan had a private banquet with Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang, and Feng Yi, Wang Wenqian also invited several clan elders who were in charge of clan affairs of the Wang family to come over to accompany him.
At the banquet of the brilliant lights, Yang Zhitang and Han Daochang officially sent the next bridal gift list for Wang Wenqian and the elders of the Wang clan to browse.
When the world got married, it had to go through the whole process of three books and six ceremonies, but after these ceremonies, Han Qian and Wang Jun didn't want to sleep together for half a year.
However, no one had the luxury of expecting Shouwang Yang Zhitang, as the matchmaker of King Han's marriage, to really run back and forth to Yangzhou for this matter.
What's more, Han Qian and Wang Jun have already had a marriage contract, and the divination, the eight characters and other gifts of Nagina have been completed before, so there is no need to go through it again.
Therefore, Shouwang Yang Zhitang came to hire this time, in addition to sending the dowry and the next dowry, he also directly sent the invitation letter and agreed on the marriage date; If the Wang family has no opinion, when the agreed wedding date arrives on the eighth day of the twelfth month, Han Qian will directly send someone to Yangzhou to marry Wang Jun, and the whole marriage will be completed.
After the private banquet, Shouwang Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang, Feng Yi and others stayed in the annex of Jianyuan, and waited until early tomorrow morning to return directly, Wang Wenqian invited several Wang clan elders to the back house to talk.
The dowry gift given by Han Qian is not insignificant, and the Wang family also has to discuss how much to dowry, or how to use the dowry to be appropriate.
Although the number of rituals in the world is far less rigorous than in the later period, when banqueting a figure like King Shou, Xu and Wang Jun still can't show their heads at will.
It wasn't until Wang Wenqian and several Wang clan elders went to the backyard to discuss the wedding ceremony that the Xu family and Wang Jun appeared.
"Thirty-two dowry gifts look good, but there are not many sincere things," Xu Shi also couldn't wait to bring the dowry letter over, and said, "It is said that the Han family is rich in the world, and we can't marry the daughter of the Wang family so cheaply." ”
Because of his background, the Xu family can only be a concubine, but Wang Wenqian has not remarried over the years, and the elder of the Wang family can only pinch his nose and silently watch the Xu family regard himself as the main mother, and when he sees her outrageous behavior, he can only frown slightly, signaling that although Wang Wenqian is a minister, he should also strictly restrain the inner house.
Wang Wenqian is full of opinions of many clan elders, but he ignores them; After all, compared to the clan elders, the Xu family had an awkward relationship with him, which made him even more uncomfortable.
Thirty-two dowry gifts according to the requirements of the ancient rites, with cakes, seafood,
The three animals, wine, fruits, tea, sugar, silk brocade, candles and bracelets are mainly the main ones, and they are naturally not worth much grain, but the Han family is also a first-class prince and minister of Great Chu, and the dowry will definitely not be limited to these objects that can be brought out and put in front of people to see, and more financial gifts will usually be written on the next dowry letter.
The Xu family wants to see if the Han family, who is rich in the world, and the Qianyang Marquis, who is famous in Chu, will really slam the door to the dowry with only thirty-two wedding vessels.
"One Nanguling Iron Mine, one Nanlongqiu Lake Dam Manor, two water mills, four hydrospinning wheels, and one Liyang Lianyuan ......" Xu Shi read the content of the letter of appointment and looked at Wang Wenqian with some dumbfounded.
It is also normal for the princes and ministers to give gifts to each other with property such as fields and houses and even street shops.
It's just that the properties written in the dowry are all located in Liyang County, Tangyi, is it possible that the Wang family can still send someone to take over?
Although the Xu clan was surprised, the elders of the Wang clan had already privately come up with an opinion.
The Wang family is now a first-class family in Dachu, although the family moved to Yangzhou after the Jinling Incident, it also hurt the muscles and bones, but the dignity can not be lost.
No matter how much the man sent, the Wang family couldn't accept it.
Whether it is the Nanguling Iron Mine or the Longchuan Lake Dam Manor, these are counted in the wedding gift that Wang Jun will give in the past, and there is no question of whether to take it over or not.
"Then write these in the dowry, and it will look good?" Xu frowned, looked at Wang Wenqian and asked.
"This also saves trouble, if the gift list writes down a number of gold, silver, pearls and jade, this is a must, but also add the corresponding gold, silver, pearls and jade, the clan is really stretched, maybe you have to sell some of the mansion is enough," Wang Wenqian said, "It's convenient now, see how much money can be in the house, and add as much as possible to it, don't worry too much about the wedding ceremony." ”
"This is not the same," Xu said dissatisfiedly, "How much gold, silver, and jade are written in the dowry, and the corresponding gold and jade are added here, these will all be Wang Jun's private money in her personal name in the future-Wang Jun, do you say this is the reason?" ”
"How long has Mrs. Ting followed Han Qian, her brother Zhao Wuji is currently the general of the Tangyi Cavalry; Mrs. Xi is the lord of the Xi family, the clansman Xi Chang is the Sima of Xuzhou, the envoy of soldiers and horses, and Xi Fa'er is also a general - the daughter married into Tangyi like this, and she is also single, and her father will resign from the position of assassin in Yangzhou, if something happens in the future, the father may not be able to make the decision for Jun'er. Wang Jun said.
Wang Wenqian raised his eyebrows, but in front of several clan elders, he couldn't help but say some words.
"That's right," after hearing Wang Jun's words, several clan elders thought it was true, patted their thighs and said, "If the daughter of our Wang family marries in the past, but is bullied by the two concubines, what kind of system will it become?" Speaking of which, this marriage has dragged on for too long. ”
"It's useless to keep talking about the old things, it's better to think more about how to deal with the present."
"How to deal with it, is it possible that our Wang family really wants to send someone over to take over these properties, if Wang Jun encounters anything in the future, it will be nearby
Can someone counsel and send? ”
"It's just that to take over these manors, water mills, and iron mines, you can't have seven or eight hundred people? Besides, Tangyi does not tolerate slaves and maids, otherwise send a few stewards to follow Wang Jun to marry, as long as there are hundreds of slaves and maids, it will not matter. ”
Listening to the discussion of the clan elders, Wang Jun said:
"The ninth brother Wang Yan, the seventeenth brother Wang Zhe, the twenty-ninth brother Wang Ji, the uncle and cousin Huo Li and Huo Xiao, they are all sons, in addition to serving in the clan, they can't find an official and a half-job in Yangzhou, and they all want to move to Tangyi with Jun'er. In the wedding ceremony, there is no need for any gold and silver vulgar things, Jun'er selects a hundred slaves and maids from the clan to go over, and gives them good citizenship after arriving in Tangyi, and they will inevitably listen to Jun'er's appointment with peace of mind - in this way, the matter of the dowry is also solved, and Jun'er marries into Tangyi There are people available, and there is no need to worry about being bullied. ”
The elders of the clans looked at Wang Wenqian with some hesitation.
Wang Jun's proposal is not excessive.
The Wang family and Wang Jun's mother are close to the Huo family, and there are hundreds of clan children of the same generation as Wang Jun and those who have not come out of the five suits.
Although Wang Yan, Wang Zhe, Wang Zhang, Huo Li, and Huo Xiao are the children of concubines, they are quite reused by Wang Wenqian.
But then again, there are hundreds of children in this generation, and these five people will marry Wang Jun to Tangyi, which will not make the Wang family break their muscles and bones.
In addition, there are countless displaced people and disaster victims in Yangzhou, even if Wang Jun brings hundreds of slaves and maids, it is not difficult for Wang to buy more than 100 slaves and maids to supplement the lack of manpower......
Of course, whether this matter is appropriate or not, Wang Wenqian has to make the final decision.
Wang Wenqian's temples twitched several times before he finally said, "Jun'er thinks so, it makes sense. ”
"Then the matter is settled." Several clan elders said in unison.
Several clan elders said goodbye and left, Wang Jun was about to go back to the room to rest, Wang Wenqian called her: "The wedding date is set very close, I will also resign from the post of Yangzhou Assassin and return to His Highness to seek work, why do you make it difficult for me?" ”
"Daddy doesn't have the courage to occupy the official position of Yangzhou Thorn History, and he still relies on his daughter to be like a thin ice and be careful?" Wang Jun pouted and said, "Daddy will still be a loyal advisor to the king in the future, but after Wang Jun marries in Tangyi, he will also think about his husband and monarch......"
"So it seems that our father and daughter will turn against each other in the future, right?" Wang Wenqian asked with a wry smile.
"Daddy, you can't fight Jun'er." Wang Jun raised his head and said.
Wang Wenqian couldn't help but take the book and smoke Wang Jun, and couldn't help but sigh when he was about to come, and said: "The most difficult thing in the world is the human heart, Han Daoxun was brutally tortured and died tragically, although Anning Palace was the culprit, but in the eyes of everyone in Tangyi, his father calculated Han Daoxun - after you get married, you still have to be careful......"
