Chapter 152: Preparing for Marriage
Le An is naturally on his mother's side, for Yin Lingyuan's refusal to follow and the mud, Yin Lingyuan can't, so he can only accept the gift first, thinking that the gift is still exchanged, and he will compensate more in the future, and now he will make more food that Le An likes.
But when she saw the little girl so hungry, she was still shocked: didn't the eldest princess give her daughter food?!
Le An raised his head from the gap between eating, and smiled: "It's still delicious things from my aunt's house." ”
Yin Lingyuan smiled politely: "Then you can eat more." ”
Le Ansai's mouth bulged, and he swallowed hard and said: "You don't know, since I escaped last time, my mother went back and disciplined me for a long time, saying that it was all my greed to blame." Then, on the grounds of preparing for marriage, he locked me up at home and didn't ask me to come out, not only did he have requirements for sitting, lying and walking, but also asked me to embroider a bunch of messy things, if it wasn't for today's banquet, I wouldn't have been able to come out. ”
Yin Lingyuan listened to her vomit bitterness, and asked with great interest: "What have you embroidered?" ”
Le An made a bitter face: "I can only carve, where do I know what embroidery?" But my mother said, at least let me embroider a complete set of bedding and clothes, I practiced the soft hands of the female red practice, and finally my mother couldn't stand it, so she went outside to invite the embroidery lady to come, and only let me embroider a few silk handkerchiefs by myself, and the clothes for my cousin, at least shoes and socks. ”
Yin Lingyuan thought about that picture, it was really miserable.
"What about you? What do you think in your own mind? Yin Lingyuan asked.
"What do I think?" Le'an was puzzled.
"Naturally, do you still look at this family business the way you used to?"
The last time Le'an entered the palace, he originally wanted to talk to Yin Lingyuan about this, but because of an accident, the two of them haven't really talked so far.
Le An then said: "I have already figured it out, cousin...... He's good. After saying that, his cheeks were uncontrollably flushed.
How could she hide from Yin Lingkite's eyes, she let out a long "oh~": "Spring heart is budding, it seems that someone has opened his mind." ”
Le'an's cheeks suddenly turned even redder, and he put down the pastry and stroked his cheeks with the back of his hand without three hundred taels of silver, and naturally refused to admit it: "You are not ashamed!" ”
"We've got a shame here." Yin Lingyuan smiled, afraid that she would be really annoyed, and she didn't dare to joke too much, so she just said, "Is the wedding date set?" On which day, I was so prepared for a generous gift, I was worried that the eldest princess gave me too many things that were too valuable, and I couldn't repay it, but now it's good, but there is a good time to return the gift. ”
"Just, what my mother means is that I discussed with the imperial grandmother and decided that it will be after the beginning of spring next year......"
"So, it's time to get to the deadline?" Yin Lingyuan asked.
In ancient times, there were "six rites" in the customs of marriage, namely, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting and greeting.
Nacai, that is, the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to propose. After asking the name, the man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth, and the man's family needs to send a pair of geese, which means that the marriage is sometimes timed, and it also symbolizes loyalty.
After Najib, the man's family will obtain the woman's birth date, ask the diviner to compare, if the man and woman are compatible, then the marriage is concluded. Otherwise, it is incompatible, and the men and women are not a good match, and the relationship will not be married.
Naturally, since the eldest princess has chosen a candidate, each other's birthdays are naturally compatible.
Na Zheng is also called Na Yuan, that is, the next dowry, many people judge whether their daughters marry well or not, so they see how much the man can come up with, if it is much lower than the same family, it is going to make people laugh.
And the family who feels sorry for their daughter, will also take these dowries as a dowry when their daughters get married, and carry them to the in-laws' house, as little as a dozen units, and more than 100 lifts.
After that, there is the invitation and the wedding, as the name suggests, to set the wedding date, and then to marry the bride.
The wedding date is generally set by the man, but Le'an was born in the royal family, so naturally the queen mother and the emperor nodded, so the eldest princess let Le'an come to Zhongxiu Palace, after all, to discuss her wedding date, her daughter should not be present.
"Hmm." Le An nodded shyly.
This little daughter's appearance can also appear on Le An's face one day, Yin Lingyuan is really interesting to watch, and can't help but say: "Then I have to prepare a good courtesy, say, what do you want, let's get acquainted, I can't lose you." ”
"You, where do you ask people directly!" Le An complained.
Yin Lingyuan is reasonable: "I don't ask you, how do you know if the gift you give is not your liking, what if you don't like it?" ”
"I ...... I didn't tell you! ”
The two laughed and laughed, Yin Lingyuan is Le'an's elder in the end, Le'an is married, and she has to add makeup in public and private.
I thought that the first dowry I gave away was Hanlu or Baosheng, but I didn't expect it to be Le'an.
But what are the rules for how much to add, what to add...... Yin Lingkite didn't know anything about it, and there was no one around her who understood this, she thought about it and felt that it was appropriate to ask the Queen Mother directly about it.
"Your information is very well-informed", the Queen Mother was quite amused when she learned of her intention, "I thought about adding makeup to Le'an so quickly, why, I haven't made less money in the past few years, how much small treasury have you saved?" ”
"Queen Mother!" Heaven is a good reincarnation, and Yin Lingyuan, who only made fun of others yesterday, is now teased by the Queen Mother in turn, "The concubine is talking to you about business." ”
"Isn't what the mourning family said serious?" The Queen Mother leaned at her and said deliberately: "I heard that your second brother went to the south, why do you want to open a new cyclamen building?" ”
"I can't hide anything from you." Yin Lingyuan generously admitted, but also knew how to sell well in front of the elders: "The concubines are thinking that good things should be shared by the world, they are all subjects of the emperor, and the people who don't have the imperial capital can eat the delicious taste of the cyclamen building, and the people in the south can't enjoy it." ”
The Queen Mother laughed: "Hearing you say this, you are dedicated to the emperor and the world." ”
"That's natural", Yin Lingyuan said, "As the emperor's concubine, although the concubine doesn't understand the government, it's always right to let the people live a good life." ”
"While letting the people live a good life, it would be better for you to earn some money for yourself by the way, isn't it?" The Queen Mother added the second half of the sentence for her.
"Isn't this also a good thing, the concubine." Yin Lingyuan admitted with a smile.
"Although these words are high-sounding, but the mourning family is comfortable to listen to", the Queen Mother smiled.
Every time Yin Lingyuan came, the Queen Mother was always smiling, and Fuxi was watching from the sidelines, feeling happy.
"But your family is rich, and this dowry can't be less", the Queen Mother replied, "It's not in vain that Le'an has called your little aunt for so many years." ”
"Isn't the concubine here for this, Queen Mother, you say, how much is the right concubine?" Yin Lingyuan is wealthy, not only is he fighting with his second brother's business day by day, but he feels very confident when he thinks of the gold, silver and jewelry piled up all over the ground in the space.
"Le'an is married, Ningchang must have prepared everything", the Queen Mother began to answer her questions seriously, "There will definitely be a copy in the palace, but Le'an is the county lord in the end, according to the etiquette system, it is generally two hundred and forty units, even if it is a holy grace, it should not exceed the county lord's regulation of three hundred and sixty units." ”
According to what the Queen Mother said, when Le'an gets married, the emperor should be gracious according to the county lord's etiquette, so there will be no more than 360 units at most. The eldest princess of Ningchang plus the palace must only be a lot more in number, in order to avoid overstepping the system, many things will not go on the bright side, but will be handed over to Le An in private.
As for the categories, they range from field slaves to tooth chopsticks, cups and plates, not to mention the largest jewelry and clothing.
Yin Lingyuan listened to it for a while, and felt that it was the most practical to give silver.
In addition, two jars of peach wine, two jars of wine, and a complete set of makeup and face, Suzhou brocade, a total of 12 sets. Neither eye-catching nor shabby, the Queen Mother felt that it was very appropriate.
After setting up the makeup, Yin Lingyuan planned to return to the palace, after all, today's cultivation had not yet reached two hours, and he didn't want someone to grab the handle, and he wanted some messy reasons to "make up".
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to keep people, and instructed Fuxi to prepare dinner, leaving Yin Lingyuan for dinner together.
"You go and stare at the small kitchen and cook some of Concubine Yu's favorite dishes." The Queen Mother commanded.
Fu Xi bowed down and stepped back.
Yin Lingyuan felt that the Queen Mother had something to say to herself, so she waited quietly, and sure enough, the Queen Mother spoke: "Wei's was sent to the cold palace, she caused you to lose your son at the beginning, and now although she has not given death, she can't turn over, what does the emperor care ......about?"
"The concubine understands", Yin Lingyuan immediately said, "His Royal Highness is the eldest son of the emperor, and the concubine is not dissatisfied with this result." "Sometimes it's harder to be alive than to die.
What's more, Xiaokangzi has changed the eunuch who delivers food, and the only way Wei can use people has also been broken, and now according to Xiaokangzi's own intentions, Yin Lingyuan arranged for him to enter the internal affairs office, and he is in charge of rewarding, which can be said to be a very rich errand with oil and water, and he can be regarded as half of Yin Lingyuan's own person.
"I know that you are the director", the Queen Mother beckoned with relief and asked Yin Lingyuan to sit beside her, "You went out of the palace to see a female doctor a while ago, how is your body recuperating now?" ”
"It's all a long time of hard work, and the female doctor said that there is no hurry." Yin Lingyuan moved out of the almighty rhetoric.
"In the end, you have been wronged", the Queen Mother patted her, "However, if you want to have an heir, you don't have to be your own child, and it is the same to be raised by your side since childhood." ”
Is this to arrange a son for yourself?
Yin Lingyuan speculated in her heart, and simply refused: "The concubine is not in a hurry, there will be a long time in the future." ”
"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded.
didn't say much on this topic, after all, Concubine Yu is only nineteen this year, and it is better to be born in the future.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and then said: "You are smart, beautiful, and capable and neat, have you ever thought of going further?" ”
"What does the Queen Mother mean ......?"
"The concubine is gone, the Wei family is abolished as a concubine, and the six palaces of this big country must be taken care of", the Queen Mother said quietly, "The mourning family is old, you still have to come by yourself, you are smart and capable, and your conduct is even more outstanding, and the mourning family feels that this candidate is suitable for you." ”
