Chapter 91: Ying Chang's Dowry
These few days are probably the most peculiar days since Ying Shu came. Life is like a roller coaster, and you never know if you'll be greeted by the next peak or the flats.
Just when the whole family began to prepare for the marriage of the two girls by default, the eldest princess of Fuchang went to the mansion with Zhang Chengqi, expressing that she did not want to get married, and also said that she would not pursue it again.
Later, Chengqi also came to find Ying Shu in person: "Sister Shu, I know, you don't like me." If I wronged you, I would marry you, and the two of us would be married, but I am afraid that life will be like that. I care more than whether I can get married, whether you can live well. We are friends, and I can't, because of myself, involve my friends. β
Brother Chengqi is a good person, and a wonderful person.
will not lose the yearning for the beauty of this world because of the injustice he has suffered, will not resentment because he has been betrayed, on the contrary, he will be more considerate of others.
My heart warmed, and I was even more grateful.
"If my sister has any worries in the future, I can help her, she will definitely come to me. We're friends. Cheng Che said to Ying Shu with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Chengqi. Also, I'm sorry. Ying Shu thought about it, but after all, she couldn't think of any gorgeous and sincere words.
"Silly girl, thank you. It's all as it should be. Chengqi smiled, very gently.
After that, the eldest princess of Fuchang said regretfully, "I can't get Sister Shu to be my daughter-in-law." If it were possible, it would be better to be my daughter. β
Although the eldest princess of Fuchang was still angry at what the Wang family had done, she never forgot to maintain a cold momentum. However, because Yingshu is really liked by the eldest princess of Fuchang, the eldest princess is still the same as before for Yingshu, and said: "I still have to come to my princess's mansion more in the future." β
In the end, Ying Shu and Chengqi recognized themselves as brother and sister. The eldest princess of Fuchang is not a very unreasonable or vengeful person, although she is a little cold to Wang Ying and Liu, she still took off a bracelet and gave it to Yingshu. It is said that this bracelet is the favorite white jade bracelet of the princess's adoptive mother, Emperor Chunxi and Guifei, which is very luxurious and meaningful.
Ying Shu accepted it, and for the first time felt that she was so close to a famous historical figure. This is the bracelet worn by the famous Chunxi concubine! In modern times, the Chunxi concubine is a god-like existence, and countless actresses have taken being able to play the Chunxi concubine as a pursuit in their careers, but any film and television theme about the Chunxi concubine can get countless attention. For thousands of years, there have been countless snoops and speculations about this beautiful and legendary woman. But no one is more successful than himself, because he is the closest to the Chunxi concubine, and he wears the bracelet of the Chunxi concubine, rounding it up is equivalent to seeing the Chunxi concubine.
Although you can't get a glimpse of the beauty and demeanor of the rumored Chunxi concubine, judging from the appearance of the emperor Li Jing and the crown prince Li Yuan, the Chunxi concubine must be very beautiful, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to such a good-looking child; Judging from the demeanor of the two eldest princesses, I can probably get a glimpse of this woman's basic situation in my heart.
This is a woman who envies me everywhere except for the ending!
In addition to being able to motivate people to forge ahead, idols can also make people see themselves clearly and discover how much their lives are.
When the sun rises as usual, Yingshu still has to go to work in the palace. Now that she is used to it, as long as she goes to work, she will definitely meet Shen Bin, so she doesn't need a special appointment at all, she grabbed Shen Bin on the long street, grabbed Shen Bin and asked, "How did you do it?" You said you could help me, but I thought it was a casual remark. It's just that I didn't expect you to be so powerful. β
Shen Bin shook his head and said to Ying Shu: "That's natural, you don't look at who I am." β
When Ying Shu decided to ask more carefully, Shen Bin just smiled and didn't tell the truth, and said to Ying Shu: "Guess it yourself!" Anyway, the three girls of our Wang family are so smart, even if they guess by themselves, they can guess it. With that, he dodged and walked away.
Leaving Yingshu alone in the wind.
Go to Kunming Palace to say hello to the queen, if it is according to the past, you should be able to go to the Shangshi Bureau to take a roll call. The queen will most likely say to herself: "If the Shangshi Bureau is fine, then you can go to Qingning Palace to accompany the crown princess." β
However, the topic of the conversation between the queen and herself this time was different, "I'm afraid that Bai will come to congratulate me after the New Year, and I'm afraid that the palace will be busy, but I want to bother you to help a lot." The female officials in the palace are rarely from a family, and the knowledge in some places is naturally not as good as that of the girls from your family. This time is an important ceremony for the country, and I am afraid that you will have to work harder. β
Ying Shu had to reply respectfully: "Yes." β
I thought to myself, the days of getting paid for nothing are finally over.
When she met Lijun, Lijun couldn't help but say a few words: "At this time, we really have to do something when we enter the palace." When the white department was waiting for the court, the Shangshi Bureau was only afraid that some would be busy. What dishes are formulated, the dishes and chopsticks are regulated, the banquet seating, etc., are all troublesome things. I don't know if I can do it well. β
This reveals an important message, this banquet is not the time for a female official from a family to pretend. This is the time when the women of the family are really needed to come forward to preside. According to the knowledge and experience accumulated when he was in the boudoir, all the women of the family who have been female officials in the palace in Pingjing City are in demand, for the following reasons:
The first point is that those who can become female officials must be from famous families, or their fathers and brothers must be famous ministers valued by the emperor.
second, the woman who can be elected as a female official must also be outstanding, and her appearance naturally has to be above average to be qualified; It is also necessary to have managerial skills in order to be the head of the department. Such a woman will marry into the housekeeper in the future, and the director will be very face-saving when she comes and goes.
Third, female officials often have one or more nobles in the palace who are extremely close to each other, familiar with the various doorways of the inner palace, which is another help to the father's family.
Based on the above values, Yingshu suddenly found that she didn't seem to be so salty?
When I am in a good mood, I am very positive at work, and I am in Si Yu Si, and making drinks is what I am best at, so I am very handy at work, and I am also happy to cooperate with another Si Yu Gan.
Although tired, when I thought of my worth, I began to motivate myself in my heart, all in order to be able to become a rich woman.
When she returned home, the Wang family was preparing for Ying Chang's marriage, although Wang Ying was not very happy about this "happy event".
From the marriage to the marriage, it is actually very fast, and the wedding date is set at the twentieth day of the lunar month. In fact, there are very few people who hold marriages in December, but the Shiwang family unanimously gave the statement to the outside world, "The wedding date is what the ancestors said in their dreams, and they asked the adults of the stargazing prison to help calculate that the lives of the newlyweds are not suitable for marriage next year, so in order not to delay, they can only get married in a little hurry."
Liu is very unwilling, as the mother of all the children of the Wang family, she is actually very happy to get married, and only Ying Chang is happy and unhappy.
Happily, Ying Chang's final result is really not good, her mother's family dislikes it, and she doesn't have to think about what an unmarried pregnant woman like her father's family will suffer. and finally sent such a trouble away, and from now on, the Wang family will only be in the world alone.
The unhappy thing is that she has to subsidize a little dowry.
At this time, the Liu family couldn't help but mutter: "If it was a few decades earlier, it would be lowly for a concubine to give birth to a daughter, so where would I spend so much?" That girl is also worthy? β
After more than 20 years of development, the first emperor Suzong has been committed to breaking the strict hierarchy with his deep and warm love for the concubines of Chunxi, thus benefiting the majority of concubines and commoners, and making the law of obedience gradually disappear from the stage of history. At the same time, it also allowed many professional second wives to see their bright future.
After all, the children born of concubines have already followed their father's rank, and they will be concubines in the future, and they may not necessarily be concubines or marry concubines who are not taken seriously, but they may turn over and become the head of the family by virtue of marriage.
Liu was extremely reluctant to count the dowry that the house was going to give Ying Chang this time, in fact, she didn't want to give Ying Chang much of a rich dowry, thinking that Ying Chang alone almost made the entire Wang family fall into the abyss, she was very depressed, and she even thought about bringing a few empty boxes to Ying Chang to decorate the faΓ§ade. But when I think of the face of the Wang family, as well as the marriage of Yingshu and her two younger brothers in the future, I still have to think seriously about this problem.
In addition, Wang Ying is not a completely ruthless person, but she still has a trace of father-daughter affection, and she personally came to tell Liu that Ying Chang's dowry should still be better looking.
Originally, every daughter in the house should accompany two thousand taels of silver when she got married, but because Ying Huan was a princess, she accompanied three thousand taels, and she accompanied her mother's family to bring two thousand taels of dowry, and Mrs. Wang gave another three thousand taels, plus all kinds of farm shops and various daily necessities (of course, many of them were given by the palace). Liu thought about it, and finally had to take out the two thousand taels of the family account room as the basic dowry, and he took out one thousand taels from his waist bag as a supplement with tears in pain, and after thinking about it, he took out a full set of emerald, gold, silver, agate, and various materials, plus the five hundred taels taken out by Mrs. Wang, a total of three thousand five hundred taels, plus a few remote (in fact, there is no harvest, and even lose money every year) Zhuangzi, the right to decorate the faΓ§ade of the Wang family.
As a little sister, Yingshu also had to tearfully sell more than a dozen little golden pigs and little golden rabbits in her private collection, and asked them to be cast into a full set of pomegranate flower jewelry.
Seeing the gold and silver at the flowing price being decorated into boxes, Ying Shu was very heartbroken.
Oh my God, it's too extravagant. When will I have so much silver?
