After entering the city the next day, Li Kangcheng and Mrs. Li came to Huafei with gifts and talked to her about the marriage of Zhang Tao and Fudong.
When she came back from the winter yesterday, Hua Fei had already learned about it from her, and there was no surprise about their arrival.
The two sides talked happily in the inn room, and it didn't take long for the marriage of the two to be settled.
After the plan arrived in Fuzhou and settled, they arranged their wedding, because the time was urgent, and there was no time to prepare properly, so they could only keep everything simple.
Despite this, Hua Fei still wants to prepare a rich dowry for Fudong, after all, she is a personal maid who has followed her for so many years, and she will have more confidence to marry her husband's family in the future.
Hua Fei and Xiao Zhan said this, Xiao Zhan nodded and agreed: "When my mother's personal maid got married, I heard that a full sixteen dowry was prepared, which is comparable to the specifications of a young lady from a large family. In this way, let's follow this specification and prepare for Qingnan for my husband. ”
Hua Fei stood on tiptoe and grabbed his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you Zhan Zhan!" ”
Xiao Zhan was very useful to this, and happily turned around and ordered Qingnan.
After a few more days of traveling, and finally approaching the boundary of Fuzhou, Huafei looked at the winter and became more and more reluctant.
I can only comfort myself in my heart, Fu Dong has a life path to go, and he can't stay by her side for the rest of his life, and when Li Kangcheng's case is rehabilitated in the future, he will naturally return to the capital again, and it will not be too late for them to get together again.
The procession continued unhurriedly, and after two days, it finally reached the gate of Fuzhou.
In order to avoid suspicion and not let others suspect, Xiao Zhan did not ride in the same carriage with Hua Fei, but rode alone and walked beside him.
After all, he was still recuperating in Beijing at the moment, and there was no way to appear here as Xiao Zhan.
After entering the city, Li Kangcheng took the paperwork to the Fuzhou County Guard and waited for the arrangement.
The county guard of Fuzhou had heard of his prestige before, and he did not embarrass him much in this trouble, but he never made affection either.
After all, it was the emperor who ordered the demotion here, and he only needed to act according to the charter.
After returning from the county guard, Li Kangcheng took Mrs. Li to quickly look at the house, intending to settle down as quickly as possible.
I bought a three-entry house in two days and renovated it again.
The population of the family is simple, so there is no more population like in the capital, but only a dozen slaves are bought.
When everything was ready, the house was decorated with lights and festive red silk hung everywhere.
The people in the city are all talking about it, and Master Li has just arrived here to arrange the marriage for his son, and he doesn't know whose daughter the other party is.
Originally, I was still a little envious, but then I don't know where the news came out that the son of Master Li's family was going to marry the maid of the overseer General Hua, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Once in trouble, he could only marry a maid as his wife, which was too embarrassing.
Everyone was waiting to see the Li family's jokes, and on the day of the appointment, they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
A lowly slave definitely doesn't need much dowry, they want to see how much pomp the Li family uses to hold this happy event.
"If you want me to say, marrying a young lady from a big family in the city is only sixteen dowry, that's still the best. This Li Gongzi is going to marry a maid, and Ba Lift is considered to be lifting her. ”
"If you want me to say, it's almost enough to prepare the four necessary things, and the Li Mansion will definitely not be able to get so many dowry gifts when he comes from afar."
Everyone chattered and discussed, and soon after, Zhang Tao walked out of the mansion with a refreshed face.
Turning over and getting on the horse, he walked in front with his head held high, and the dowry followed closely behind.
Everyone couldn't help but look at it with wide eyes.
The wooden boxes tied into big flowers of red silk were carried out one by one, and everyone pulled their necks with great interest to look at the contents of the contents.
In addition to the pair of geese at the beginning, the second lift of other big families is just some gold and silver jewelry, and the dowry behind the son of the Li family, the second lift is actually a pair of good blood jade Ruyi!
These things are rare to see in Fuzhou, and sure enough, they are people from the capital, and they are generous.
Continue to look at it, there are all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, a full sixteen lifts, which is the most expensive one in the city recently.
Zhang Tao listened to the exclamations on the side, and became more and more energetic. My father and mother said that I couldn't lose face when I first came here, and Fu Dong was the maid of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she was the person he really wanted to marry, so he couldn't be lazy.
Although he didn't bring all his belongings over this time, the Li Mansion used to be beautiful after all, and his family was rich, but it was relatively low-key, and it was more than enough to take out these dowry gifts.
The crowd who had planned to watch the joke saw this scene, and their attitudes changed, and they sighed that although the Li Mansion was a little down, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and more spacious than most of the big families in the city.
Many big families also thought about it, and if they married their daughters to their families, they would not suffer a loss.
On the second day of the hiring, a local matchmaker came to the door and introduced Zhang Tao to all kinds of school-age women, all of whom were young ladies from large families.
said that they were delicate and knowledgeable, and they didn't know how many times better than that maid.
It is suggested that the Li Mansion should retire this family business and marry a boudoir lady to come back, so that he will have more face.
Zhang Tao listened to them chattering in his ears, and impatiently drove them out, waving his hand: "Go, go, hurry up and let the master go!" The master likes that maid, what's the matter?! ”
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, leaving only a few matchmakers standing outside staring wide-eyed.
"Cut, what's the spirit? I don't know if this Li Mansion is blind, and he doesn't want everyone to ask for a maid, it's really the first time I've seen it in my life. ”
"The young lady I introduced is a medical family with a rich background, not to mention being able to use all these dowries as a dowry, and you can add some more. It won't be like that kind of poor sour girl, I am afraid that the dowry will be deprived by the main family, let alone take out the dowry. ”
"Alas, what's the use of talking more now, the son of the Li Mansion just eats the scales and has an iron heart, don't put the good ones, you have to find a bad one."
After a few matchmakers complained at the door, they waved their handkerchiefs and twisted their buttocks and left.
I really can't figure out why the prince of Li Mansion wants to marry such a wife, he didn't get a little help, but it made people laugh.
Huafei went out for a stroll, and when she heard these broken words, she was very unconvinced.
Fuzhou is a relatively remote area, and most people have not seen much of the world.
The so-called dowry in their mouths is very watery, sometimes two pieces of furniture can be regarded as a lift, and the sixteen dowries prepared by the ladies of large families can be seen in the first few lifts, and the back are all full.
