The bride price represents the affirmation of this family affair by the Anguo Mansion, as well as the gratitude of the Yan family for raising their daughter. Some families will return all the bride money to the man in the form of a dowry; Some people will return half of it, and some people will accept it all, which all depends on whether the woman's family loves their daughter.
After the official media presented the gift list, they stood next to the first box, and one of the small servants who came in with the box opened the box, and the official media raised his voice: "A load of happy cakes." โ
The grandmother who followed her stepped forward to look, nodded, and the maid holding the pen wrote it down.
"Eight styles of seafood: make a fortune and make a fortune. Two packs of abalone, oysters, scallops, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, sea cucumbers, shark fins, and fish maw. "The state media reported the contents of the second box
The boxes were opened one by one, the official media sang loudly, saying auspicious words, and the tenth box was placed with the phoenix crown Xia curtain prepared by the Anguo Mansion for Yan Hagi, "Dotted with green Ruyi clouds, double dragons and double phoenixes with beads and tassels inlaid with gold treasure phoenix crowns." โ
The faces of Yan Siye and Nanping County Lord, who have always been calm, changed slightly, although the bride wears a phoenix crown on her head, but there may not be a phoenix on it, let alone a dragon. Although Yan Hagi has his own grade, he is only a county lord, and according to the etiquette law, he can only wear a five-winged phoenix hairpin, even if he adds the identity of Mrs. Shizi, he can only wear a seven-winged phoenix hairpin.
"This phoenix crown seems to have trespassed." The county lord of Nanping spoke.
The official media smiled: "This is the eldest princess, and I specially asked the emperor to reward her, only this once, it is not an exaggeration." โ
There is still a faint melancholy between the eyebrows of the lord of Nanping County, now the Anguo Mansion and the Yan family are all favored, and it doesn't matter if you trespass a little, you are afraid that you will settle accounts after the autumn. Fourth Master Yan smiled and said, "My aunt has a heart." He knew what his wife was worried about, but the eldest princess of Chengyang was not a person of proportion, and she dared to do this, she must have something to rely on.
Then came the eleventh box, "Ten horses of cloud brocade and ten horses of satin, to make clothes for the lord of the county." "Cloud brocade and Xia satin are all good clothes, one horse is hard to find, and the Anguo Mansion sent ten horses each, which shows the heritage.
The last box is a round wooden box, which contains: "Twelve catties of glutinous rice, three catties of two taels of sugar." This is to make glutinous rice balls for the woman's family, in order to take its fulfillment, sweet and satisfying, and make it for the bride to eat the night before the wedding.
After all the twelve boxes of dowry gifts were displayed, the four Quanfu wives bypassed the screen to insert Ruyi red gold hairpins for Yan Hagi. Yan Hagi combs a round bun, which is convenient for inserting hairpins. It's just that the weight of the four golden hairpins is not light, and after inserting it, Yan Hagi feels lightheaded, holding his neck with both hands.
After inserting the hairpin, this great ceremony was successfully concluded, and Yan Hagi left through the side door and returned to her Qingfu Courtyard.
Three days later, the woman returned the gift, according to the number of rites, it was half of it, half of it was left, and a pair of trousers, jade belts, silver bags and shoes were added. The county lord of Nanping explained to Yan Hao, "Long pants are longevity and wealth, and shoes have the same sound as Kai, which means the same as old age." โ
Ten days later, the official media sent three auspicious days, the second day of April, the tenth day of April, and the twenty-sixth day of April.
When Yan Siye saw these three auspicious days, he was not happy, "Why is it all April?" September, October, winter moon, wax moon, is there no good day? Let the Fu family choose another day. "It's almost March now, and if you get married in April, the days when your daughter stays at home will only be a month or two, and he is reluctant, he doesn't agree.
The county lord of Nanping glanced at him and said with a smile: "April 26 will be fine." โ
"County Lord, time is too rushed, there is no need to be in a hurry." Yan Siye frowned.
"It's not in a hurry, it's been a few years of preparation, how can it be in a hurry? April 26th. The county lord of Nanping closed the post with a smile, the queen mother's health is getting worse and worse, it is better to let her daughter marry as soon as possible.
Although Yan Siye is not good at disagreeing with his wife, he is in a very bad mood. The county lord of Nanping could only appease him, "My daughter didn't marry far away, she married in the capital, isn't it easy for you to see her?" โ
"After all, I married into someone else's family, how can it be so easy to see?" Yan Siye said sullenly.
The county lord of Nanping persuaded a few more words, but it didn't work, and in the end, he let him toss twice on the bed before he revealed the matter. The county lord of Nanping rubbed his sore waist, deeply suspecting that Yan Siye was not reluctant to marry his daughter at all, he just wanted this.
On this day, Yan Hao was teasing his little nephew in Dunhou Courtyard, and the little maid from Qingfu Courtyard came over and said, "Miss, Mrs. Bao is here." โ
"Xiao Xun, my aunt will come to see you tomorrow." Yan Hagi put the little one back in the cradle.
As soon as he entered the living room of Qingfu Courtyard, Yan Hagi was startled, there were two large and two small four boxes in the hall, "Qingqing, what are you doing here?" โ
"You're about to get married, I'll add makeup, what else can I do?" Yu Qingqing put down the teacup and said.
"But that's too much, isn't it?" Yan Hao suspected that Yu Qingqing had emptied the Bao family.
"How much is my heart, is it possible that you can still not accept it?" Yu Qingqing's eyes flashed slightly, among the four boxes, only one box was actually hers, and the other three boxes were sent by Yu Zhilin from the border gate. It's a pity that it's too late, Yan Hagi and Fu Zhixing are a couple, and Yan Hagi has no distractions.
"I didn't say no, you just moved four more boxes, and I will accept them all." Yan Hagi raised his eyebrows, "I'm not afraid of too little." โ
"There are not many of them, just these four boxes, you let the maids take them apart and take a look." Yu Qingqing smiled hard, Xiaoxiao and her cousin have no chance in this life, and they only look forward to the next life.
The two big boxes were filled with fur, the small ones were sable skins, mink skins, silver rat skins, and gray squirrel skins, and the big ones were fox skins, raccoon dog skins, and lynx skins. โ
"I asked my fifth brother to help me get it at the border gate." Yu Qingqing still revealed a little in the end.
"Are you really, why do you want to trouble Cousin Yu?" Yan Hagi said strangely.
"The border passes don't fight, he's idle, let him go up to the mountains to hunt, it's good to loosen his muscles and bones." Yu Qingqing said with a smile.
"I love these furs, thank you." Yan Hagi smiled.
Yu Qingqing smiled, "It's good if you like it." โ
Yan Hao looked at the other two boxes, one box was jade rough stones, large pieces of undivided gemstones, and the smallest box contained six sets of jewelry, in fact, this was Yu Qingqing's makeup for her.
Just when Yan Hagi was looking at these makeup additions, Fu Zhixing received a letter from Yu Zhilin from the border pass, the letter was not long, and the central meaning was one, if Fu Zhixing was not good to Yan Hagi, he would come back and snatch Yan Hagi away.
Fu Zhixing narrowed his eyes, put down the letter, took the pen and paper, and wrote five words on it, "You don't have a chance." "Fold the paper with these five words written on it, put it in an envelope, and let people send it to the post station, to the border gate.
