The next day, the Xie family sent the dowry to the Yan Wang's Mansion, and the journey went quite smoothly.

There is no problem with the dowry box, the person who carries the dowry does not make a mistake, there are many people who come to watch the excitement, and there are good people who specially pack seats along the street window in the restaurant and teahouse on both sides of the road, while eating and drinking, while watching the dowry pointing, by the way, take the big families in Beiping City in the past few decades to make a comparison with the dowry pomp and circumstance, some older visitors, can also put forward the number of dowries of large families 20 years ago and 30 years ago, which attracted many people to listen.

These things naturally have nothing to do with the Xie family's makeup delivery team. Zhao Fengnian and his wife took the dowry all the way to the Yanwang Mansion, and Aunt Wu Qiongye stood in front of the gate of the palace with two chamberlains and several maids and mothers-in-law, and led them all the way to the place where the new house was located.

Zhu Rui, as the only son of King Yan, is going to get married in a new house, and Princess Yan began to clean it up as early as last year. It's just that he kept a low profile at the time, and it wasn't until this year that his county prince title came down and his identity was completely and publicly revealed, and the relevant actions became open. King Yan and his wife regarded him as the future son, no matter whether the emperor gave him a canonization or not, anyway, all his treatment was prepared according to the specifications of the prince.

The new house is a spacious five-entry courtyard, located on Wangfu West Road, some close to where Mrs. Xu used to live, and the fifth backyard is to add part of Mrs. Xu's old residence to rebuild.

The residence of the future prince is naturally not just a place to live, this courtyard actually includes the residences of Zhu Rui's team, entourage, staff, guards and others, these people live in the front yard and do not enter the inner house. Most of the time, they have their own homes, and the rooms in the palace are only used for the occasional night, so they don't need to have a big house, let alone how to settle their families. The second courtyard is the place where Zhu Rui and his subordinates deliberate, as well as the place where he is a director, as well as an outer study and tea room. The third and fourth entrances are connected to the hall by the verandah, which is the main courtyard, which is the future residence of Zhu Rui and Xie Mulin. The rooms in these two courtyards are very large, and there are a lot of flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, which can be used as a garden to play. The fifth entry is the residence of the close servants, mainly the maid and the mother-in-law, and also brings a small kitchen and a warehouse and other miscellaneous rooms.

This entire Wujin Courtyard is almost equivalent to the Yong'an County Palace's Mansion inside the Yanwang Mansion, although the sparrows are small, they have all five organs. Now the whole courtyard has been repainted, the beams and columns of the house are newly painted, and all kinds of flowers and trees are newly planted in various places in the courtyard, just when the plants are at their most flourishing at the end of summer, and then reflect the decorations such as red lanterns and red silk cloth knots hanging in and out of the house and under the front porch of the eaves, which is really a festive and rich scene.

Zhao Fengnian's wife looked at it, and her eyes were a little straight. Fortunately, her husband Zhao Fengnian came here as early as when he measured the size of the new house, although now the whole yard has changed greatly, and it is no longer as simple as before, but he has seen a lot of the world, and he can hold it very well at this time, and secretly pinched his wife, so that she did not show a rude expression.

The couple politely smiled at Aunt Wu and the others who led the way, and then carefully led the family members to place the dowry accompanied by their second girl in the middle of the second courtyard.

Although Xie Mulin's dowry is not as rich and affordable as his eldest sister's, there are many precious jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., but there are many new furniture and all kinds of textile machinery, and the collection of books for the dowry is also rich enough, and he is very handy. As soon as the things were placed, there were many people gathered around the side to watch the excitement, and many people Zhao Fengnian looked familiar, as if they were the subordinate officials of the Yan Palace, and they also brought their entourage and family members behind them, obviously to visit the dowry of the future princess.

Most of the furniture that Xie Mulin married has an obvious Jiangnan style, but it is not as delicate as that of some wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan when they accompany their daughters, for example, the bed is just a general high-class shelf bed, and there is no Qiangong bed - the cost is too high and it takes too long. Xie Pu originally only thought that his daughter would marry a well-connected official child, but it was only last year that he heard that his promising son-in-law had become the son of the prince, and this time was certainly not enough for him to let people build a thousand beds.

But even so, these complete sets of furniture made of fine wood, exquisite workmanship and elegant style, are not common among the big families in Beiping City. There are no wealthy dignitaries with their eyes on the top of their heads in the crowd who come to visit, and some people say that the Xie Fantai family is more prosperous than imagined, no wonder the Cao family wanted to calculate the Xie family's property back then!

The furniture is big, and after seeing the furniture, everyone has no time to see the jewels and jade jewelry in the box, and they are attracted by several large and complex looms and a large number of exquisite fine fabrics.

The weaving workshop under the name of the Xie family produces most of the fabrics on weekdays, but now that they want to marry their daughters, they naturally can't make up the numbers with these ordinary clothes. In addition to all kinds of high-quality materials from their own weaving yards, some new colored materials that have not appeared on the market, as well as tribute-level high-quality materials from other famous weaving workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as high-quality brocades produced in all parts of the world, etc., are all made up by the Xie family. Almost all of the people present are accustomed to seeing wealth and nobility in the palace, but not everyone can recognize the fame of these materials, even Aunt Wu can't name two or three of them, and praises them for their good weaving and good color, and pulled Zhao Fengnian's family to ask about the origin of those materials, so as to prepare to send someone to buy them next year.

At this time, Zhao Fengnian noticed that a young man dressed as if he was an ordinary child of a rich family appeared in the crowd, he didn't pay attention to those gorgeous and delicate brocades, but stared at the various looms, and seemed to be very interested.

The boy had only one attendant with him, and he looked like a young man about the same size as him, but he was wearing a guard uniform. After a while, the county lord of Yongping also came, and everyone made way for the county lord to pass, and the county lord responded to everyone's greetings one by one, and when he saw the young man, he immediately left everyone behind and went straight to the young man.

Zhao Fengnian recognized the county lord of Yongping, but he didn't recognize the young man. But he knew that this young man was definitely not General Xiao Yuan, so who could it be?

Zhao Fengnian thought that the master's family had an order, and his breathing became heavier for a while. However, he is also an old adult who has been trained for many years, and after only taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down, pulled his wife forward to salute the lord of Yongping County, and answered her questions, but did not ask the identity of the young man beside her, just as if he was a child of the clan mansion.

When the young man asked about the names and uses of various looms, Zhao Fengnian answered them one by one very carefully. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to operate it himself, so he also asked his wife Ruixue to come forward and demonstrate to the boy.

Rui Xue didn't understand why her husband wanted her to let herself operate those looms, some of which she would use, but the most complicated jacquard lifter, even in Xie Jiajiao, Huyin's hometown, few servants knew how to operate, which was the exclusive use of the old qualified weavers in the weaving workshop. The second girl ordered it as a dowry, which was more like an ornament. However, the wife had instructed her beforehand to follow her husband's instructions in all matters of the palace, and to be as diligent and careful as possible, so as not to make mistakes. She doesn't talk too much, she will demonstrate if she can use it, and tell the truth if she can't. The boy didn't care.

His eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered some new pleasure.
