Chapter 1220: Persuading Mother

The parents and children of the Xie family laughed for a while, and then happily dispersed.

Although the happy event is worth celebrating, everyone has a lot to do, and it is impossible to get together all the time.

Wen sent his daughter back to the courtyard, and began to worry about taking people to check the dowry that would be sent to King Yan's mansion tomorrow.

Because Xie Mulin is going to marry to the Yan Palace, the dowry is more than that of the eldest sister Xie Yinghui, but it is not too out of line, even the dowry sent by the Yan Palace, the canonization ceremony, the makeup ceremony, etc., can be made up of about one hundred and twenty units, which is equivalent to the dowry when the Yan princess Yue married the Yan Wang, and it is almost the dowry that nobles of the level of the princess of this dynasty usually have, and only a few people with particularly rich backgrounds will prepare more than one hundred and sixty units.

It's just that Princess Yan's family was in a difficult situation back then, although it was a dowry purchased by the whole family, the one hundred and twenty dowries were still a little empty, and I heard that there was also a part of King Yan secretly helping, and there was also a gift from her best friend and matchmaker Miss Xiao Mingzhu before her death. And now Xie Mulin's dowry is relatively realistic, and the furniture and clothes for the dowry account for the majority. Almost all of the furniture is made from the ground up with the finest solid wood. Because it was made by a craftsman in Huyin County and then sent by boat, the cost was lower than the market price. As for the clothing, not to mention, this is the Xie family's own industry, and a few people from the clan can get it together, and the cost is not large. Only some particularly valuable and rare clothes were bought by Xie Pu with great effort and let his shopkeepers buy them.

In addition to these two big heads, there are also many books and other things, as well as looms and other instruments that are rare when other people's daughters get married. Wen originally thought that there were a few looms, jacquard machines, spinning machines or something in the dowry, which was not very much like talking, but Xie Mulin persuaded her: "Isn't this just a good proof that I am a lady who loves textile women?" We do have a related industry in our family, which shows that I have not forgotten my roots. Even if someone picks on it, we have enough legitimate reasons to reject it, so what's there to worry about? Wen thought about it, so he agreed, and there are several looms with huge weaving bodies, which can only be carried by one machine, which just accounts for a few more dowries, which makes Xie Mulin's dowry more lucrative.

In addition to these large items, there are also quite a few other bits and pieces that are not worth much. Wen is not very relieved, always worried that when the dowry is given tomorrow, it will be discussed, or something goes wrong on the way, but he still has to check all the dowries again, and he has to make sure that the flat burden of the dowry is all right, and the family who carries the dowry can remember the etiquette rules, whether it is on the street or in the Yanwang Mansion tomorrow, there will be absolutely nothing wrong.

Wen has been so nervous these days. Sometimes she looks quite calm, but in fact, she is thinking about all kinds of miscellaneous things. Although Xie Mulin had persuaded her, she didn't think there was a problem with her: "It's the first time in the family to marry a nobleman from the clan, and the Queen Mother and the four princes are here, how can it be wrong?" If something goes wrong, our Xie family will be disgraced and thrown to the capital or even to the inner city! Don't bring variables to your eldest brother's marriage. Anyway, this time, if I am nervous for a few days, I won't worry, so you can leave me alone, it's serious to manage yourself. "What else can Shimurin say? It's up to her to go.

Xie Mulin herself still has to solve the problem that the princess's crown dress is too heavy, she has to discuss with the girls around her, what kind of bun to comb on the wedding day, what kind of hairpin to fix the crown, which can be stable without bringing too heavy a burden to her hair and scalp. She saw that there were still a bunch of helpers around the Wen family, except for the two aunts, as well as Zhao Fengnian's wife and Ma Lu Yao's family, even Aunt Xie Meijun came to help, thinking that it was nothing serious, so she left her mother with confidence and returned to her room.

Wen didn't mention how to check the dowry and the family who gave the dowry, and when everyone hurriedly ate lunch and returned to their respective rooms to rest, they all felt very tired.

Xie Yingfen was a little worried about her biological mother, so she specially brought a tonic soup made by herself to Wanqin. Wanqin was very happy to see it, and when she drank the soup, she praised her daughter's craftsmanship for her improvement, and said that her appearance was becoming more and more standard, and she was so good-natured, she must be able to say that she was a rich and good family. It's just such a good family matter, Xie Pu and the Wen couple may not be able to help her, so they still have to rely on the second sister of the princess of the county who is about to marry into the Yan Palace.

Wanqin pouted and commented on today's canonization ceremony: "The second girl is still upstanding, but the etiquette is a little rusty, but with the guidance of the female officials and internal officials, there is nothing wrong." But my wife was a little unable to hold on, and I saw her panicked appearance, as if she was always worried that something would go wrong and make a fool of herself in front of the nobles. She will be worried, and I can also understand that the Xie family's foundation is too poor after all. Although the second old lady entered the Hanlin Academy before his death, he resigned directly after the disbandment of the museum without being an official and returned to seclusion to run a school.

"The old lady understands the rules of the businessman, and some of the rules of ordinary scholars, the second old lady and the aunt also understand it in their hearts, but the rules of the family of this famous eunuch, the Xie family does not know much, let alone the rules of the emperor's relatives. If it was in the Cao family, a canonization ceremony like today, whether it was Mrs. Chengenhou or Mrs. Pingnanbo in the past, there would never be the slightest panic. There are already precedents in the family, what to do, what to use, all are clear, no matter which lady is in charge, just follow the rules. Where can I be like my wife, panicked......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xie Yingfen interrupted her words with a straight face: "Aunt be cautious!" What day is it? Why are you dizzy and talking nonsense?! Just now, you also said, let me talk to my second sister more, please her, so that she can find a good family for me, and now you are laughing at your wife without concealment?! If you let the second sister hear it, do you think she will spare you?! ”

Wanqin hurriedly stopped her mouth and said curtly: "I didn't mean to, I just said it casually......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xie Yingfen interrupted her words with a straight face: "Aunt be cautious!" What day is it? Why are you dizzy and talking nonsense?! Just now, you also said, let me talk to my second sister more, please her, so that she can find a good family for me, and now you are laughing at your wife without concealment?! If you let the second sister hear it, do you think she will spare you?! ”
