After Li Ke took the marriage letter, Xuan Shijing took a thick fold from Qin Bingyue's hand next to him and handed it to the officials of the Ministry of Rites beside Li Ke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Here's the dowry list."

On the fold of the skin, the word dowry is written.

For the officials of the Ministry of Rites, such a thick list of dowries is considered a chore, the envoy took the marriage letter and dowry to Chang'an City, and entered the princess's mansion, he was going to sing the salute directly in the hall, so many dowries, I had to read it for a while.

This marriage book of the Tang Dynasty is also exquisite, such as Xuan Shijing's marriage book.

Xuanzi is the first male, and he has been established in the year and has not been married. The twentieth daughter of Chengxian, Ling Shu has been heard, has both four virtues, and is willing to marry a high award. I would like to work with the matchmaker Luo Zheng, dare to be polite. Listen to Jia's life. Sejing White.

Jin Yang is the twentieth daughter of His Majesty Li Er, and Li Ke is only as a messenger, and Luo Zheng, an official of the Ministry of Rites next to him, is the official media, so he naturally wants to appear in the marriage book.

After Li Ke checked the marriage certificate, he took the wooden culvert from the official of the Ministry of Rites.

The marriage certificate must be written in regular script on elaborate paper, and after inspection, it is placed in a wooden culvert wrapped with colored threads, covering the official title and name of the person who received and received it.

This covers what is written above, which is Wu Wangke, the governor of Anzhou.

The wedding letter and dowry were checked correctly, and when it was time to set off, Li Ke and Luo Zheng, an official of the Ministry of Rites, rode a tall horse with red silk and slowly walked towards Chang'an City with the team.

The line was very long, Li Ke walked two miles in front, and the tail of the team in Dongshan County had just walked through the gate of the house.

Xuan Shijing, who was standing at the door, watched the team of dowry gifts leave, and there were three people standing beside him: Qin Bingyue, Chang Le and Gao Jun.

"These dowry gifts from Master Hou will also cause a sensation in Chang'an City when they arrive in Chang'an City." Gao Jun looked at the stretch of the line and sighed.

"After this day, our Hou Ye probably has to become a lover in the eyes of the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in Chang'an City." Chang Le quipped.

"The Tang Dynasty inherited the three generations of Wei, Jin and Sui marriages on the rest of the wind, is for the wealth of marriage, although I and my son said that His Majesty gave marriage, the two love each other, but in these customs, I will definitely not be wronged by the son, although the number of dowry is surprising, but also in common sense, Zhenguan in the early years, beyond the discussion of Shandong people to boast about themselves, although the recurrence of Ye Ling late, still rely on its old land, women are suitable for other clans, will seek more money." Xuan Shijing said: "It's just that the Shandong Shi clan is so virtuous, and gradually this atmosphere has also spread to Guan Long's side. ”

"Hou Ye is right, I have heard in Yanlai Building before, the Lu clan of the A clan in Guannei, marrying a daughter to others, will be hired with a million as an appointment, and if you are not satisfied with this amount, you will not be able to do it." Qin Bingyue said: "Not only the Lu family, but also many families in Guanzhong, marrying a daughter is equivalent to selling a woman, and some people who want to cling to the nobles of the family would rather borrow millions of dollars than marry the daughter of the family." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the surname Qiwang girl is the most sought-after, obviously, the Li family belongs to one of the five surnames and seven wangs, and the Xuan family, except for the title of a marquis of Dongshan, is nothing.

This kind of extravagance flourished in order to climb the marriage for the purpose of clinging to the family, and the imperial court also repeatedly ordered it to be abolished, as early as the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er issued an edict specifically to prohibit this kind of situation.

His edict said: From now on, the Ming family announced the order of the marriage, the ceremony, and from June this year, it is forbidden to sell marriage.

However, the edict is the edict, but among the family, the style of wealth and marriage is still popular.

From Zhuangzi in Dongshan County to the princess's mansion in Chang'an City, the team walked for two hours, and Li Ke, who was the first, entered the Daozheng Workshop.

Because the dowry team is too large, the head from the Mingde Gate into Chang'an City, along the Zhuque Street, and then to the east, passing by Guozijian and Dongshi, the entire Mingde Gate except for the dowry team, the rest can only be scattered to accommodate a few people into the city, after seeing this posture want to enter the city, do not go to the Mingde Gate, from the Mingde Gate on the left and right sides of the Anhua and Qixia Gate entered.

"Whose family is this today's family team, it's too spectacular, quietly giving the dowry, and I can't see the head yet." The people at the city gate were not in a hurry to enter the city, but they watched the excitement outside the city gate, wanting to see how long it would take for the dowry team to enter the city gate.

"You don't know yet? During the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, His Majesty decreed marriage at the royal banquet in the palace, and gave his favorite Princess Jinyang to Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing. Another person said: "This Dongshan Marquis is famous for his wealth in the whole Gyeonggi, and now he can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes, and look at the team of this dowry." ”

"So, this Dongshan Marquis is not very old, he is young, where did he get so much money?" Another asked.

"I see that you are from out of town, and you just arrived in Chang'an today?"

"How do you know?"

"Now don't talk about Chang'an, that is, the whole Gyeonggi knows that there is a chamber of commerce under the name of this Dongshan Hou, and the president of the chamber of commerce is called Qiandui, a well-known living god of wealth, do you say that the Hou Mansion can have no money?"

Not only the people waiting to enter the city gathered at the city gate to watch the excitement, but also the pedestrians on Suzaku Street, all stopped to watch the spectacular dowry procession that they had never seen before, and waited for a quarter of an hour, but did not see the tail of the team, as if they could not finish, and entered Chang'an from the Mingde Gate in a steady stream.

Shoulder-carryed, double-carried, ox-carts, horse-drawn carts, dazzling, endless.

Just those that are exposed are enough to make people envious, not to mention the invisible ones that are packed in boxes, which are even more reverie.

Because of the grand event between Xuan Shijing and Princess Jinyang, the iron fence of the entire gate of the Daozheng Square was pushed aside, and the gate was open to welcome the team of dowry gifts.

Li Ke, who took the lead, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites rode horses to the door of the princess's mansion.

At this time, the princess's mansion was also open, Li Ke dismounted at the door, and walked straight into the courtyard, Luo Zheng followed behind Li Ke.

Walking some distance in front of the main house, Luo Zheng took out the list of dowry gifts and began to sing.

And Li Ke and Li Chengqian exchanged marriage letters at the door of the main house.

On the fourth floor of the house, Jin Yang was in the bedroom, standing in front of the window, secretly looking at the grand scene below.

The ceremonial officials sing the salute, and the first of them is the six rites, which is a custom and has nothing to do with value.

"Two wild geese, 100 fat sheep, 800 jars of old wine, 100 meters of yellow and 1,000 stones, 1,000 horses, and 1,000 silk bundles."

In addition to the six gifts, it is a real dowry sent by the Hou Mansion.

"Copper Coins Million~"

"5,000 horses of silk~"

"100 boxes of jewelry~"

"500 sets of gold and silver jewelry~"
