179 Preparing for marriage

Yining and Xie Qingxue's engagement went very smoothly, without the slightest twists and turns.

In order to give the Xie family enough time to prepare, the wedding date was set for a year later. Mingzhu also released a word that Xie Qingxue's dowry can be prepared at will. Her family's dowry came according to his family's dowry list, and no matter how much the dowry was, she could receive it.

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. Xie Qingxue, as the only concubine of the Xie family, naturally wanted her for anything good when she got married. Originally, I was worried that the man's dowry would be stressful, but with Princess Mingzhu's words, I was naturally relieved.

The news of the engagement just came out here, and the Luo family was suddenly overwhelmed. Almost everyone thinks that after ending this family business, it is a sure thing for the Xie family to overwhelm the Luo family. Who knew that after only half a month, it was rumored that the county lord of Anning and the new head of the Luo family were engaged.

It's like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and everyone can't understand it at this moment. Although Xie Luo's family are both big families, the power in the court is not large, and the business industry is mainly in the south. These two family affairs can't see any help to the Zhengguo Mansion at all.

If the prince of Zhenguo is at the border, he can also use the financial resources of his in-laws to raise soldiers. But the problem is that Zhenguo Gong's whole family is now in the capital, and he is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army. Even if there is a lot of money, it is so much that it is burned in a panic, and you don't dare to pay for it privately, right?! If you really want to do this, it is better to rebel directly.

Therefore, everyone is talking about it, and they never understand what this move of the Zhenguo Mansion means.

Just when everyone was conjecturing and conspiring theories, it was the Queen Mother and Emperor Nanzhao in the palace who were more transparent. Where did all that mess come from? Don't you want these two pairs of children to look at each other by themselves?!

"Come to me, you two brothers and sisters look at each other's personalities. In fact, the cores are all the same, and the family backgrounds of the people who are connected to each other are almost the same. But ah, Yining is a man, I don't worry about it, both horizontal and vertical are under my nose. It's peaceful, after this marriage, it's not as good as at home. I'll have to prepare the dowry for you. Let me think about it, Jade, take a look at the booklet from my storeroom! The Queen Mother looked at the two grandsons in front of her and said to herself.

Yining only listened quietly on the sidelines, the imperial grandmother was right, and her sister should indeed pay more attention when she gets married. Unlike him, as long as the person he marries is okay, a man will never suffer any grievances in the marriage relationship.

An Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "Imperial grandmother, don't worry, my father and mother have prepared a lot for me." It's definitely enough, no matter how much it is, I'm afraid the dowry box won't fit it. ”

There were one hundred and twenty-eight dowries, that is, two hundred and fifty-six chests. The size of each box is numerous, and it also contains some symbolic things such as children and grandchildren buckets, dragon and phoenix quilts and other things that occupy a very large position.

However, Mingzhu had already planned that the day before the wedding, the woman would send someone to the man's house to "make the bed". She planned to move not only the furniture and other things over that day, but also the curtains and curtains that should be used for decoration. Anyway, as much as possible to vacate as many places as possible for the dowry, and fill the jewelry box or something as much as possible.

But the Queen Mother doesn't care about these at all, her favorite granddaughter is married, how can she not be as a grandmother?!

"What do your children know, just be ready to get married. By the way, how are you preparing for your companion room?! The Queen Mother asked again.

This companion refers not only to the dowry girl, but to all the subordinates who followed her to marry in the past. An Ning is quite clear about these: "For the time being, Mama Sicha's family and Aunt Linglong's family have been decided." There are also six big maids, including a martial artist, a medical girl, a needleworker, a dresser, a cook, and a pen and ink, who my mother trained for me early in the morning. Among them, the martial servants and dressers are temporarily set as personal maids. ”

For this era, this is a pretty standard configuration. Just like Si Wei, she is the medical girl trained by the Queen Mother for Mingzhu. With the highest monthly silver and bounty, you can also buy medicinal herbs or something by yourself. But she just needs to take a safe pulse for Mingzhu every day and test her food and drugs. The rest of the time is arranged by herself. And Linglong is Mingzhu's martial attendant, and she usually has nothing to do, as long as she is responsible for the arrangement of protecting Mingzhu when Mingzhu goes out to socialize. The original Si Hai, and now the rose are the nearest personal maids by Mingzhu's side, and they are responsible for all close affairs around Mingzhu.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she shook her head and said very dissatisfied: "You can't do this, it's still far away." It's a lot less than the people your mother brought at the beginning. When your mother came out of the cabinet, I still felt that I was not fully prepared! ”

An Ning listened and hurriedly explained: "These are only temporarily decided, and of course there are more than just so many people to bring." Others like carriages and horses, upbringing, purchasing, guards, and mothers are still thinking about it. Rest assured, the imperial grandmother will definitely be enough when the time comes. ”

However, the Queen Mother glanced at her: "What do you know about a child?!" Of course, the manpower is ready early. So that you can get used to it in advance. When you really marry into your in-law's family, you will feel that there are not enough people at that time, and your mother's family will not be able to give you away directly. You can only use your in-laws' family, who knows what the situation will be! Leave these things alone, let me think about it again......"

Just when the Queen Mother was carefully considering in her heart, Jade walked in with a basically thick booklet.

"Mother, I've brought all the booklets from the storeroom. Take a look. ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother put aside the matter of accompanying the room for the time being. Looking at the basic booklet spread out in front of him, he thought about it, and reached out to take a booklet with "jewelry" written on the cover.

She carefully flipped through the two pages of the booklet, and paused: "This set of cloisonnΓ© with spring peach Turui has a good head and face, fresh color, and lively shape, which is suitable for An Ning's age." Jade, you write this down first. ”

Jadeite listened, and hurriedly took a pen and paper and wrote down the jewelry.

"In Anning's dowry, I'm afraid there is no jewelry with emerald craftsmanship, right?!" The Queen Mother asked very firmly.

An Ning replied with a smile: "My mother said that there are too many emerald crafts to kill, which hurts the heavens and the peace." Although we are not saints, and we can't control others, we don't customize or buy ourselves. It can be regarded as fulfilling his benevolence to kingfishers. But my mother also said that when I came out of the cabinet, she would take the two sets she had collected with me. ”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said very disapprerovingly: "Your mother is also inexplicable, isn't the chicken, duck and fish we eat every day a living thing?!" How can it hurt to make jewelry out of kingfisher feathers?! I think she's just a little hypocrisy of herself. Don't listen to her! I'm afraid that her emerald jewelry is still what I gave her at the beginning, and it has long been outdated! Let me see, I already knew she was like this, so I prepared some for you in advance. ”

Before An Ning excused herself, the Queen Mother turned to Jade and said: "Remember, the jewelry of the emerald craftsmanship, a set of four seasons patterns, a set of Fulu Suxi patterns, and a set of Vermilion Birds, Luan Birds, Peacocks, and Butterflies." Well...... With so many words, you can wear it on almost all occasions. Let me take a look at the rest. ”

Jade listened and quickly recorded there.
