370 Your dowry
Wang Yizhen had never received a book, but she couldn't explain why she knew more than others, part of it was modern knowledge from her previous life, which happened to coincide with Xiao Wan'er's knowledge, and the other part was ...... She can't just say that the knowledge and means of committing crimes on the rivers and lakes have indeed been since elementary school, right? "You and your adoptive mother also knew the value of those books and were afraid that people would covet them, so they didn't dare to take them out, so they lied that they were robbed, right?" King Yan said again.
"......" is not right, she really didn't get the book, but she didn't expect that the people in Beijing looked at her like this, thinking that she was afraid that her three-year-old child would guard the gold mountain, and she was afraid that people would be greedy?
"But the last time you were in Nianyuan, you were alone with the prince's brother for a lifetime, and since then, you have known your identity, and several of your fellow villagers have also used the token of the prince's mansion to run around in Beijing, looking for cheap houses, and later left several times to pick up people in the township, that is because you knew your identity as the emperor at that time, and felt that you had a backer, so you wanted to bring those villagers to the capital with your belongings, right?"
What's more......
But Wang Yizhen suddenly understood.
Yang Xianzhong has long said that since the day she entered Beijing, the people in Beijing have stared at her silently, as long as she is a person who is interested in Xiao Wan'er's natural talent, it is impossible to give up the book she wants easily. I heard the prince's meaning before, her identity, the prince has always known, so think about it, of course the princess also knows, and King Yan, even if he didn't know before, at the birthday banquet of the Song State Mansion, after King Yan expressed his interest in Xiao Wan'er's paintings and himself, the prince must let him know, otherwise once the concubine is accepted into his sister's head, he will not have to be a person in the future.
So in the eyes of these people who know, she ran to talk to the prince, and drove all the subordinates away, and lived alone in a room, there was no problem, but she was very likely to want to ask the prince for confirmation of her life experience. What's even more convincing is that after that night, she got the token of the prince's mansion, and the people at hand began to run around in Beijing in the name of the prince, looking for Xiao Wu everywhere, not to mention, and kept inquiring about the houses in Beijing and the farms on the outskirts of Beijing.
Wang Yizhen did this because he wanted to bring all the brothers and family members in the township to live in Beijing. But if outsiders see it, they will only think that she has a backer, so she dares to establish a permanent foothold in Beijing, and she wants to buy a house and land to move all the important items in the township to Beijing.
"So, you sent someone to bring all those belongings and books because you want to marry someone in Beijing, right? Because those things are your most valuable dowry, if you don't have them, you want to marry into a princely family just by virtue of the name of a young lady from a vain mansion, you can't even make up the minimum dowry, right? When the time comes, if you let a concubine room be compared, even if you are the main room, what kind of face can you have? Yan Wang said.
He was not wrong in what he said.
The general lords and lords, in addition to the main wife, have always had two side room places, the same can go to the royal jade, canonized by the holy decree, then if it is said that the prince's wife is married to a famous lady, the side room will generally marry the daughter of a giant businessman, after all, the princes also have to spend all day and wine, but also need money, no matter how rich the dowry of the wife, it is impossible for him to spend at any time, the advantage of marrying a merchant girl is that not only can bring their own assets, but also provide cooperation between the two parties, one side marries a small treasury, unlimited food, and the other side is to find a big backer, More open trade routes, the two sides are a cooperative relationship, then the dowry of the side room is the value of the side room, on gold and silver, there must be more than the wife, naturally, the wife of a large family, I have not heard of anyone who will lose more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver, there are large families, accompanied by calligraphy and painting or antiques, and even jade or gifts that are not good to evaluate the value, and even look at the value of the large furniture that is valuable but inconvenient to sell I don't know how many generations of large furniture......
In short, in this world, the dignity of a woman to marry lies in the dowry, and the dignity of the dowry, if it cannot be sufficient with money, can only use priceless treasures in the market.
If Wang Yizhen marries, the Hai family will not pay her any money, and everyone understands that if she doesn't want to lose face, she must take out the relics left to her by her mother and display them.
"The eldest sister-in-law has known for a long time, if you talk about marriage, you will definitely take out those relics and books, I heard that she has also sent someone to propose marriage to your family before......" Yan Wang said.
"Stop." Wang Yizhen was also taken aback. "You mean I just came to Beijing...... A family surnamed Yang who came to my house to marry Xu Xian, was found by the crown princess? Wang Yizhen asked.
"Otherwise, why do you think that someone like Shanxi Tongzhi would go to Beijing to marry someone who has never met...... Belch...... people? King Yan said more tactfully.
Although Tongzhi is from the six grades, in terms of grade, in Beijing are regarded as the sole of shoes, but in the land of Shanxi, it is a real power figure, this kind of local governor, and the continuation of the string, all he asks is someone to take care of the old and young in the family, can go out to socialize with others, so the continuation of the string, do not need to marry a high-ranking woman, but the reputation must be good, at home virtuous and gentle, do not create contradictions, go out to communicate with people, do not fall behind, so the continuation of the string, this official in the local jasper is enough.
traveled thousands of miles to the capital and begged to marry a woman who had never met and did not know her character, but her family was high and her reputation was poor.
If you marry and go home, your former wife and daughter will be oppressed, and the old man will not be able to manage the bride, and he will not be able to go out to socialize if he has a bad reputation, which will be ridiculed in vain.
Thinking about it, if someone hadn't arranged it, how could the Yang family have come to find such trouble.
"In other words, the crown princess thinks that I will use those books as a dowry, so as soon as I entered Beijing, she found someone to marry me?" Wang Yizhen asked.
"yes." King Yan asked, "Don't you know that Shanxi Zhizhou is the princess's foreign family?" "The surname of Shanxi Zhizhou is Pang, which is Mrs. Pang's maternal family, and she is naturally the prince.
In other words, Shanxi alone can be regarded as the prince's circle of influence.
Wang Yizhen looked at Li Lanlan, and Li Lanlan defended: "How well-behaved I used to be, even if I inquire about the inner house, I will only inquire about the Ji family." "The crown princess's foreign family, that is, Mrs. Pang's father, if she dares to inquire about the second room, the second room doesn't know what to think. Li Lanlan didn't know, and Wang Yizhen couldn't really know.
"I kind of get it." Wang Yizhen nodded and said: "The crown princess wants those books, so she will find someone to marry me, if I marry, for the sake of face, I have to take out these things as a façade, and when the time comes, I will enter the door, my parents-in-law, my husband and concubine, and my ex-wife's children, everyone will deal with me together, and I will have to obediently give up my books in order to survive." No wonder......" Wang Yizhen suddenly realized
