Chapter 607: Is Fifty Thousand Taels More?

Gao Zhong himself didn't expect that there would be such a day, there would be an extra sister, an extra brother-in-law, and his own young master, which made him really a little surprised. Now that the matter between Zhao Gou and Li Shishi has become a fact, everyone knows it.

If Li Shishi marries Zhao Gou, it will be a phoenix that flies on the branches, and the identity of the high pet is different. directly became Zhao Gou's brother-in-law, but it's a pity that his brother-in-law can't be the master of Li Shishi. If there is a conflict with Zhao Gou, I am afraid that he will be the first to give in, who will make Zhao Gou's martial arts and skills far superior to Gao Gou.

It is both happy and helpless!

Since the old lady threaded the bridge from it, the relationship between Li Shishi and Zhao Gou has grown by leaps and bounds, and Zhao Gou and Li Shishi have been tired of being together for the next few days. As for the wedding planning, it is not Steward Wang, nor Zhao Gou, or the old lady to worry about.

Because Zhao Yougong has already conveyed the emperor's holy decree, Zhao Go's wedding is not arranged according to the common people, everything is done according to the treatment of the prince. Therefore, Pan Lianggui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been very busy these days, and he is busy with it.

"Is it my wedding, or his wedding!" Pan Lianggui is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has to want to scold, he is as tired as a dog, but the party concerned does not care, it is completely a hands-off shopkeeper, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as the final result is clear.

Steward Wang hurriedly said: "Pan Shangshu, my young master is like this, you have to bear with me!" ”

"Although I'm not an official who specializes in preparing these gift lists, and I've helped people do it a few times, I've never seen anyone with such an attitude, as if this is not his wedding, but like I'm getting married, what is this called!" Pan Lianggui was indignant, if he hadn't had a holy purpose, he would have patted his ass and left.

Now, the wedding date is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Gou's mansion is preparing for the gift list, that is, the levy. The wedding in the Song Dynasty only retained the four procedures of Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and Qinying, and the two procedures of asking for names and inviting dates were cancelled. However, in the Song Dynasty, there were also daughters-in-law, as well as the practice of wealth and wealth.

In addition to the names and birthdays of both men and women, the property status of the family should also be written in the marriage book. Before the in-person welcome, the south should send pollen and other things to "urge marriage", and the women's family should use curtains, bedding and the like to decorate the new house, called "shop house".

As for the "daughter-in-law", it is a blind date in modern terms, but the modern blind date is a little different from that time. In modern blind dates, that is, to meet, have a meal, or chat, etc., if you are satisfied, you will be together, and if you are not satisfied, you will leave.

The blind date in the Song Dynasty was different, if you fell in love, the man had to put a golden hairpin in the woman's bun; If you don't like it, then you have to send colored satin, which is to express your gratitude and apologies for disturbing the other party. It's just that these are basically invisible in modern times, and no one in modern women will have the habit of bunging their hair, and if they really have, they will send rings directly.

When Najib was in power, Zhao Gou also sent some gifts to the door, which represented the marriage ceremony; Now Zhao Gou is already the procedure of recruitment, and along with the recruitment, there is also a wedding document, that is, the specific time when the man marries the woman, and the gift list.

The gift list depends on the woman's wealth and status. If the woman is the daughter of an official eunuch or a famous lady, then the type of gift list must also match her identity, to put it bluntly, it is a valuable thing; If the woman's status is humble, the gift list is arbitrary, as long as it is an auspicious number, usually six or eight.

When the welcome document is delivered to the woman's home, it will also be accompanied by a gift list in the document, or it can be submitted separately, and the gift list must be written clearly from large to small, and there can be no omission and lack, which are unlucky.

Pan Lianggui, as the purchaser, did everything according to the royal specifications, which made him so busy that he was sweating on his forehead. Finally sorted out all the gift lists, and then handed them over to Zhao Gou for a look. At this time, Zhao Gou looked at the book leisurely and elegantly, saw Pan Lianggui coming, hurriedly put down the book, and said, "Pan Shangshu has worked!" ”

"Here's the list, take a look!" Pan Shangshu glared angrily, and then gave the gift list to Zhao Gou, regardless of whether Zhao Gou wanted it or not, he sat down and kept knocking his legs.

Zhao Gou opened the gift list, and it was clearly written: "Eight horses of high-grade silk from the Western Regions, eight pieces of Suzhou splendid cloth, six strings of beads with gold inlaid blessing characters, eight red gold pearl pendants, a pair of red gold and Ruyi hairpins, a pair of butterfly gilt earrings, a pair of silver-gilded butterfly hairpins, a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, a pair of jade relief lotus mandarin fish pendants, two pairs of high-grade North Sea black ink pearls, eight glazed cups with colorful painted walls, a pair of red sandalwood silk painting mirror brocade makeup boxes, and a pair of Hetian jade pinched gold bracelets......"

Zhao Gou looked at the dense handwriting on it, and read it for half an hour before reading it, and said with a smile: "Pan Shangshu, I don't know if there is anything else?" ”

"And?" Pan Lianggui said angrily, "These are all high-class things, if it weren't for the fact that Xingfu is also the home of an official eunuch, and you are not a prince, you would not have given so many gifts at all." Do you know how much silver these things add up, a full 50,000 taels of silver, which is rare in ancient and modern times. ”

"Is it more than fifty thousand taels?" Zhao Gouhu looked at Pan Lianggui suspiciously, 30,000 taels is really not much for him, that is, half a month's effort, and even the money that can be earned without half a month's effort, this money is already too much for Pan Lianggui.

"You're such a loser!"

Pan Lianggui was so angry that his beard was cocked, he had never seen such a loser, a big wedding actually cost 50,000 taels of silver, this is real money for nothing, not from the water, but hard-earned money, these money is still issued by the treasury, but the emperor himself issued a holy decree, which makes Pan Lianggui's heart hurt.

"I see that you are in a stable situation on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be a luxury person! Alas, the old man looked at the wrong person, and he really grew these eyes in vain! ”

"Pan Shangshu just underestimated me Zhao?" Zhao Gou said lightly, "Fifty thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for me." Even if the emperor decrees that he wants to take it out from the treasury, it depends on whether I want it or not, and I can still afford the money! ”

"You ......," Pan Lianggui said suspiciously.

"Lord Shangshu doesn't believe it?" Seeing that Pan Lianggui didn't believe it, Zhao Gou took out six silver taels from his arms, all of which were cashable ticket numbers, five of which were 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and one was 5,000 taels, and said lightly: "Although Lord Shangshu is following the holy decree, he is also a hard worker, and this money is also the money I gave to Lord Shangshu and other brothers to eat and drink!" ”

"You ......"

Pan Lianggui turned from suspicious to shocked, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to take out 50,000 taels of silver in one place, and casually said that he was giving them money for eating and drinking, which made Pan Lianggui a little hard to believe, even if he was a first-class person, it was impossible to have so much silver from birth to death, but he didn't know where Zhao Gou came from.
