Chapter 538: A Rich Dowry
The wedding date is getting closer.
The General's Mansion is becoming more and more lively.
Tao Yun and several people came to accompany Rong An every day, and at first they came to have a small gathering, but gradually they came to work.
In the next few days, basically early in the morning, a few girls brought the big girls around them to help.
There's so much to prepare.
The reloading of the house is basically over, so all kinds of dowry, all kinds of wedding arrangements, banquet arrangements, preparation and follow-up of various steps before and after the wedding, and all kinds of coordination, it seems that the matter cannot be done at all.
Rong An originally wanted to take advantage of his mother's weight and be lazy, but everyone didn't agree.
The emperor should not, Zhu Chengyi should not, his father should not, his friends should not, and even Yu Tong, who rarely appears, should not. One by one, they refuse to be low-key when they say anything, and they all want to do a big job.
Several girls are waiting to be married, and while discussing with each other and practicing, they are even more enthusiastic, busy and happy every day. They all look like good wives and mothers.
Rong An, who wanted to be lazy, was put on the fire by several people, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.
There are many people in the house, no matter whether she goes to the top of the rockery or the cave, it won't take half an hour to be found. It's rare for her to take the little white walk bend and be taken down.
Why is everyone so enthusiastic about the wedding?
Even the wedding dress sent from the palace, she tried it, and obviously thought it was very good, but those bad girls had opinions here, and they felt that they needed to be changed, and they were not satisfied everywhere.
Several times, she wanted to collect some practical fees from Chang Rufei and the others, so as to save them from being so active......
The Ge family was also so busy that they flew up.
In addition to the care and help in marriage, there is also the training of personnel.
Zhu Chengyi and Rong An both planned to purge the subordinates of the palace, so this time they had to bring a lot of people into the palace. Anyway, I have already received the emperor's permission, and the number of people is not as good as the more.
And marrying is just the most convenient way to place people.
Therefore, in the past few months, the Ge family has a lot of people to train. And when the princess entered Beijing, she also brought a lot of useful people, all of whom were secretly arranged into the Ge family for training as the next person. Most of these people are from Yan'an, and the Ge family will help train them, so that they can get used to all kinds of things in Beijing as soon as possible.
Yu Bohong originally prepared thirty guards to marry into the palace with Rong An, and his move was on the bright side, and the emperor also had this intention, so, under the emperor's instructions, the number of thirty became sixty.
These guards have all been brought to Rong An's side recently, so as to familiarize themselves with the personnel around Rong An.
The guards are all in charge of Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng will also marry this time, and will be the chief manager of these guards in the palace in the future.
As for the maids, Tao Yun, who came to the house every day, helped to train them at the end. She and Yan Feiqing still have to choose a few suitable girls to come out and serve by Rong An's side in the future.
There is no way, for the sake of Yan An's face, Rong An's pomp and circumstance as the princess of the world is always needed.
Although the water chestnut does not have to go back to the Ge family, this time he will marry with Rong An, but Xiaohe has not fully grown up, and Caiyun has to go back to the general's mansion after marrying to the palace, waiting for Ge Wei to marry while taking care of Ge's family, so there are still few people around Rong An who can use it.
The girls gave a selection criterion together: they are thoughtful and generous, and they don't need to be too good-looking; Just be well-proportioned, you don't need to be too charming. The hometown must be near the capital to prevent losing control.
The experience is careful, because Rong An is often careless. The heart should not be too detailed, and it is easy to give birth to messy thoughts.
You have to be smart, because neither of them is stupid. But you can't be too smart, I'm afraid that the heroine won't be able to control it.
will use her brain, because the heroine often pokes the basket and needs to clean up the aftermath. But you can't be too good at tricking, otherwise the master and servant will conspire for fear that the sky will be demolished.
You need to be clever, because the heroine is often a demon. But you can't be too clever, because the heroine is unreliable, and she needs honest and reliable people to follow.
It's best to have a good temperament, a good idea, a straightforward, positive, and uplifting......
"Where's your draft?" Rong An was speechless. "Is this a slave or a concubine for me!"
The girls pulled out the generals, and finally picked out four of them to be used as second-class girls for Rong'an in the future. They are named as spring swallows, summer warblers, autumn frost and winter branches.
The name was chosen by Chang Rufei, and she said it was convenient to call it.
In this regard, Rong An pouted, you are free, you are happy.
No one ever asked themselves what they meant, anyway.
When there were still ten days before the wedding, Yu's father found his daughter and took out a land deed.
It is a Zhuangzi in a belt on the outskirts of Beijing.
Rong An was shocked again.
"The bride price given by the Yan'an Mansion is a house, and our family is not bad. This place was privately rewarded by the emperor after my father returned from the western expedition thirteen years ago. Dad never took it out. Originally, I was going to keep it for you and your mother. At this moment, your mother has a father to take care of, and this place will be given to you.
The land inside was rented out in the early years, but it was repossessed this autumn. Anyway, after you get married, you have someone in your hands, and how to use this land in the future is up to you to decide whether to rent or package or plant. The house has been unoccupied, so it is vacant. Looking for someone to paint it these days, it's still new. This is the dowry that Dad can prepare for you. ”
So this house, even Liao Wenci doesn't know!
Rong An had never heard of this house in his previous life, so it can be seen that his father really covered it tightly, and what else could he do to hide this private property except for his mother and himself? In my previous life, I really missed too much.
In this way, Rong An has another busy place in his hands.
The water chestnut went to the village to take a look, and came back to say that the house was indeed brand new. The location is secluded, the soil is fertile, there are few neighborhoods, and the scenery is good for a small stay. It's definitely a good place.
Since secluded...... Rong An found his father and asked him to keep his mouth shut about everything about this property as he has been for thirteen years. Private property that was not discovered in the previous life, there is no need to show up in this life. In this way, it is also a way out.
……
The dowry promised by the emperor was delivered in the early morning of October 26 with the beating of gongs and drums.
The battle was big, and before the marriage began, it had become the focus of everyone's attention.
The emperor was very generous and directly sent thirty-six dowries.
All of them are high-quality products, and everything is precious.
At the same time that the Queen Mother added another eighteen lifts, she also sent ten dowries in the name of the royal family.
In this way, the dowry sent by the palace alone reached half a pair - sixty-four lifts.
The huge honor and favor almost blew up the entire capital.
However, because the good hall has been built and started to operate, the whole of Beijing has a very good opinion of Rong An, and no one thinks that she is not worthy of this glory.
The emperor gave so much dowry, and the pressure on the general's palace was suddenly lightened.
In the warehouse, it is not a problem to pick and choose at will, and then make up half a dowry.
One-two-eight lift, this is already a first-class marriage specification.
Rong An is not very demanding, so she is very satisfied.
After all, in her previous life, she only wanted to follow Ronghua and Zhu Yonghao, so she barely scraped together a few dozen dowries, and hurriedly entered through the side door of the prince's mansion......
The concubine sent five dowries there, and sent a message to apologize, saying that she originally wanted to send ten dowry, but in order to avoid suspicion, she still kept a low profile.
Princess Zhao also did what she said, and on the surface, she added three dowries in the name of the Thai Palace, but secretly asked Yin Xin to bring five gift boxes to add makeup in her personal name.
When Rong An was busy registering everything and thinking that he might not need to bleed heavily, the Ge family added ten more boxes.
Rong An generously accepted it. It's all the same, and she'll add it back when Ge Wei gets married.
After that, the eldest princess and the concubine Xi in the palace each sent a few gift boxes. In the past, they were good friends, such as Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Yan family, and they all added some dowries to a greater or lesser extent.
Even Yu Tong added three boxes of dowry.
In particular, there is a set of golden heads.
When asked, he said that it cost him three years of silver and various rewards to make it up.
The Yu family has a great kindness to Tong, and he himself is not good at words, but he does regard Rong An as his own sister.
In this regard, Rong An was both moved and sad.
Moved to have such a good brother who is liked, sad that he is so arrogant at the moment, and when Ge Wei marries her soon, she can only shoot more, not less. To put it bluntly, the happier you are at the moment, the more you will smash it in later.
Yu Tong also said:
"If you don't have enough money, tell me later, and I'll raise it for you. If you have been wronged, come to me, and I will give you a head. Since I am your brother, I will definitely take care of you and protect you. You can come to me if you have any difficulties. It's all a family, you don't have to be polite. ”
Rong An nodded, feeling much more comfortable.
She decided that with this sentence, it was equivalent to marrying a daughter-in-law, and she wanted to give this brother an extra big red envelope as private money. Well, don't tell Ge Wei......
At the Liao family, Liao Jing's mother, Wei, secretly came here.
She said that it was not convenient to take large items, so she only brought Rong An a set of jewelry and a little pocket money.
Rong An does not plan to accept it. She doesn't think that Liao Jing is living a good life now, and her attack on Zhu Yonghao has hurt Liao Jing to some extent, and her conscience is not very good when she receives this money.
But Wei insisted on sending it. She is not worried about the future.
"If Jing'er's child is born as a boy, will Jing'er have no chance to turn over? The second prince planted his head, but the child was not guilty, and when the emperor was angry, the child would never be able to run away with the title of prince in the future. Jing'er will have a day when mothers and sons are more expensive.
There are no other women in the palace, Jing'er is favored by the prince, and there will be a second or third child. This is not necessarily not a loss of horse. So I think Jing'er is also very good at the moment. ”
Wei still has great hopes for Zhu Yonghao. If he can make a comeback, then Jing'er will endure hardships with his husband and wife, and their love will be able to come to an end.
So she doesn't regret it, not at all. Her daughter has always felt wise to choose this path.
"At this moment, Jing'er still has to rely on your father to take care of it. You take it. I'm more at ease. ”
Rong An thought about it, with the Wei family in the Liao family, she could find out more things. If she is too clear, she is afraid that the Wei family will not dare to deal with her.
So, Rong An accepted the set of jewelry, but as for the purse, she didn't even open it to look at the quantity and returned it directly.
By the way, Rong An asked Liao Wenci again.
Wei shook his head, "There's no news at all." The family felt that she was probably sent away. ”
Liao Wenci...... so that they will not leave their children behind. Was it forced? "She feels so sorry for Ronghua Rongying, she was desperate and helpless when she fled from the Yu family before, is it the same this time?
Wei lowered his voice: "It should be the price that the old lady promised to save Rong Ying." The old lady's attitude towards her plummeted a while ago, and she probably didn't want her to be embarrassed at home. ”
Rong An felt that things would not be so simple. That old lady is not an ordinary person, since she has tried her best to cultivate Liao Wenci and spent such a big price, how can she not make the best use of her? Send it to the hermitage? It's not like an old lady's trick.
So, is it possible to turn Liao Wenci into treasure?
"What about Young? How is it? ”
"Don't mention that kid, I'll be angry when I mention him." Wei hugged his chest and gasped. "He doesn't have his father and mother by his side to take care of him, and he is not satisfied with the treatment of his young master at home. Cheng Ri has a cloudy face, and that kind of gloomy look always makes people feel panicked, as if everyone owes him something.
Sometimes he stared at me and my son, and I felt hairy on my back. How? Don't let the mountains and rivers take turns? Still reluctant to be with Siming? So does he know that in fact, we are more reluctant and feel more ashamed?
He should be grateful for following my family Siming to go to school, but on the first day of school, he beat up the two sons of his classmates, and insisted that people made fun of him with bad eyes. It's not ridiculous, he still thinks he is the young master of the Yu family? Can you walk sideways? This man has to bow his head when he bows his head, and he has told him many times, but he just can't listen.
Not only that, but he also dared to slander me and Jing'er. It is said that our whole family deliberately mistreated him and Ronghua because of jealousy. That's why he suffered all kinds of losses in the Second Prince's Mansion first, and at this moment he became Siming's follower, and we deliberately stepped on him.
Does this sound like human talk? Raising a pig is grateful. ”
Rong An took a sip of tea.
The tiger fell in Pingyang and had to be bullied by dogs, not to mention that Rongying had no surname and no mother's side. thought that he could learn to be obedient in the Abolished Prince's Mansion, but apparently he still failed to wake up.
As for gratitude? Hehe.
"If he had been grateful, how could he have come to this point?" The Yu family and his father gave him many opportunities. It was his own unwillingness to toss again and again......
Wei is still angry:
The house apologized for him, but he still felt wronged, and found the old lady to ask when he would be admitted to Liao's house and give him a surname. Where does the old lady look at him? Naturally, it is a few perfunctory sentences.
But this kid is still on the horizon, and he must have an accurate day. The old lady was upset, so she threw him into the countryside and repented. Finally, without this kid staring at me every day, I could eat half a bowl more than I ate. ”
Wei's rectum, as soon as he said it, he didn't finish, and told all that little thing.
Rong An also sighed.
Rong Ying, Rong Ying, no matter where you go, you can't avoid the ending of being locked up and abandoned. If you want to blame, you can only blame Liao Wenci, who pampered and spoiled him into such an overly conceited appearance, and blinded that smart brain......
What Rong An didn't expect was that Xingyun also sent her a lot of things.
A bunch of various Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist beads and prayer beads to keep peace, a jade incense burner......
Forehead? Is this to let her burn incense and worship the Buddha every day? Can something be returned?
More and more things are received. Coupled with the dowry that her mother had been preparing for her, she gradually discovered that her dowry at the moment basically could fill the entire one hundred and twenty-eight without using the treasury in the house.
Sure enough, sure enough, this life is a good mix.
