Chapter 174: Wen Yin's dowry of five million taels
(The second update of today's fifth watch, asking for support)
Liu Xie chose a day and went to Wenfu with Wen Yin to thank him.
It is said that this Wen family is the richest man in Luoyang, and he is involved in all walks of life such as real estate, newspapers, clothing, money banks, gambling houses, restaurants, and inns.
Suddenly, this Wen family industry was going to donate five million taels of silver to the imperial court as Wen Yin's dowry, and Liu Xie, as the emperor, would definitely come to thank him.
However, he said that on this day, Liu Xie and Wen Yin each rode a ride, left the North Palace, and went to Wenfu.
Wenfu is not only the richest man in Luoyang, but also the largest and most luxurious house in Luoyang.
Although the imperial court advocated economy, it did not oppose consumption, and the literary house belonged to a private house, as long as it was built legally, the imperial court would not interfere.
Along the way, Liu Xie said: "Sister Wen, your Wen family has lost a lot, not only do you have to marry your daughter to me, but you also have to take so much dowry, do you still have a sister?" ”
Wen Yin couldn't help but chuckle, "Your Majesty, my Wen family is only one of my daughters, and there is another brother Wen Hire, who is also serving in the army now." In fact, my Wen family does not lose. ”
"Oh?"
"It is the blessing of my Wen family to be able to marry my daughter to such a great emperor as Your Majesty, and I sent my daughter away for only five million taels of silver, and when I get home, the concubine has to find my father to ask for more."
"Enough is enough, five million taels is not a lot. That's enough for me to fight for a year. ”
"Can you only fight for a year? It's too little, no, wait a minute, the concubine wants Lao Wentou to take more, anyway, my Wenyin is also the richest lady in Luoyang. ”
Liu Xie sighed and said, "I can't imagine that I can actually marry the richest Bai Fumei." ”
The two of them laughed all the way to the Wenfu, and the whole Wenfu went out to greet the holy car, and the lanterns were like a festival.
Liu Xie praised his father-in-law and wrote an inscription for him: Luoyang Shoushan, framed into a flat banner, hung on the main hall.
In the main hall room, Lao Wen invited Liu Xie to take a seat, and Wen Yin stood beside her father and said, "Daddy, your five million taels of silver is a dowry for your daughter, not a donation, so Your Majesty's inscription on Luoyang's first kindness is a bit too much." ”
Liu Xie said: "Having said that, but this money is really still going to be used for war, Yanyun, do you think this is considered a donation?" So Luoyang is the first good, Wen Weng deserves it. Who dares to disagree with the people of the world? It's okay if you don't accept it, he also took out five million! I also gave him an inscription. However, I guess that no one can pick up the plaque of Wenweng, the first good in Luoyang. ”
Wen Weng said humbly: "Your Majesty is serious, Wen Ji enjoys the blessings of the court, and only by enjoying the blessings of Your Majesty can you have today." It's only five million taels, why bother? ”
Liu Xie said: "Wen Weng is worthy of wealth and wealth, and the words he says are so bold. ”
Wen Weng was about to speak, but Wen Yin said on the side: "Since it is a dowry, it is a dowry, and the dowry is mine, so in order to be worthy of the four-character inscription to Your Majesty, Daddy, you should donate again and distinguish it from your daughter's dowry!" ”
Liu Xie pointed at Wen Yin and said, "Yanyun, it's too much." ”
Wen Weng laughed: "Niangniang is reasonable, five million is a dowry, it can't be counted as a donation, and the old man will donate another three million taels of silver, plus 300,000 sets of cotton clothes, 15 million arrows, and 15,000 war horses." ”
The Wenji industry also involves the military industry, and many of the large number of military goods purchased by the Han Army every year come from Wenji. Although the documents involve the military industry, they are all supervised by the imperial court to prevent the leakage of the process.
Hearing that Wen Weng had so many at once, Liu Xie immediately stood up and said, "Wen Weng is really bold, which makes me admire." ”
Wen Weng also left the table, knelt down and said: "Serve the country and be loyal, the Wen family is a matter of course, and the old minister only hopes that His Majesty will govern the martial arts, pacify the princes as soon as possible, and calm the world." ”
Liu Xie felt that he was helped up, and said: "Everyone thinks like Wen Weng, why worry that my big man is not strong?" ”
Liu Xie and Wen Yin stayed in the Wen Mansion for a day, although Wen Yin is the eldest lady of the Wen family, she is also a concubine, and her parents have to kneel when they see her, calling her mother, but Wen Yin will ask her parents not to shout like this, let alone kneel herself.
I also rest in the Bunfu at night.
Liu Xie's craftsmen will renovate the palace of the heart, the palace of the heart is the emperor's bedroom, it is also a hundred square meters, divided into two rooms inside and outside, and then the concubines' bedrooms are all built around it, and the area of each bedroom can not exceed one hundred square meters, that is, thirty feet square.
In order to facilitate calculations, metric units of measurement are used in many places.
However, he said that because many palaces in the North Palace needed to be repaired, Liu Xie also lived in the Wen Mansion for more than ten days, and because Wen Yin wanted to protect the fetus, Liu Xie did not dare to live more, so he returned to the North Palace, and Xia Houling and Lu Qiling took turns to sleep.
A month later, the North Palace was almost repaired, and Liu Xie took Zou Yuan, Wen Yin, Diao Chan and others who lived in the flower house to live in the North Palace, and even Cai Yan, who had houses in the South Palace and Yuefu, also took over the North Palace.
All the families have become well-deserved concubines, but the title can be determined after the end of the filial piety period.
Except for the Empress Fu Shou of the main palace and the concubine Dong Lu, both of them are the same age as Liu Xie.
There are also seven other substantial concubines. Three of them are older: Diao Chan, Zou Yuan and Cai Yan, they are all in their early thirties, Diao Chan is 31 years old, Zou Yuan is 32 years old, and Cai Yan is 37 years old. But all three of her are in the top three of the group's spectrum.
followed by the two who are slightly older: Yan Er and Wen Yin, who are only seven or eight years older than Liu Xie, Yan Er is 24 years old, and Wen Yin is 23 years old. The two of them are ranked later on the Qunfang spectrum, but they can also come in handy for troubled times.
followed by Xiahou Ling and Lu Qiling, both of whom are the same age as Liu Xie, but the months are slightly younger.
Si Xiaomei is a little younger, lives in the same dormitory, and is served by special palace maids and grandmothers, and their parents are arranged to live in Nangong and occasionally see each other.
And the nine people except Yan'er, the others are pregnant, and gradually after another two months, Xiahou Ling and Lu Qiling can't have sex with him, as for Yan'er, although she is not pregnant, she has been refusing to sleep in order to be able to conceive a healthy baby in three years.
So four months after Liu Xie returned to Luoyang from Xuzhou, there was no harem to sleep with him.
However, at this time, Yan'er brought him good news, that is, Hua Tuo had completely eliminated all the poisons in her body in the process of treating her.
At the end of the month, there was heavy snow falling, Liu Xie, accompanied by a group of guards, walked in the garden of the North Palace, and happened to see Yan Er coming over, looking happy, so he asked: "It's so cold, why is my sister so happy?" ”
Yan Er said: "Because the concubine's poison is gone, the concubine can sleep for His Majesty." ”
Liu Xie hugged Yan'er in his arms and said, "Poor Yan'er, how many days have you not been moistened by nectar?" ”
"Your Majesty hates it."
"But although the poison is completely solved, it is better to be careful."
Yan Er said or something: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, these two days are a safe period, and you won't get pregnant." ”
