Chapter 158: Dowry
Zhishu: "So madam, you can't be impulsive, doesn't Miss often say, impulsiveness is the devil, you have to calm down first." ”
Aunt Li: "How can I be calm." ”
Zhishu: "Madam, let's wait for Miss to deal with it herself, she must have an idea." ”
Aunt Li: "Hey, you don't have to comfort me, what can you do at the beginning, she is just a child, where can she resist the entire Xuanyuan Empire." ”
Zhishu: "Madam, you can't think like this, Hades is the leader of the younger generation, and how many girls dream of a good couple." The most important thing is that this Hades King has never heard of him being entangled with a girl from any family since he was born, and it may not be a good thing for the young lady to marry him. ”
Aunt Li: "At the beginning, this child was really good, and he didn't know how to come back after such a big incident." ”
"Madame, I'm afraid I forgot, Miss is studying at Xingchen Academy now, and she can't leave the campus for a while.
Miao Qing and Miao Shang also received the news at the same time, how could Yun Yun be cultivating in the Trial Tower at the beginning, and they couldn't be disturbed.
Ten days later, a big gossip came out of the imperial capital again, and the Hades King was dissatisfied with the marriage with Miss Yun Wu and refused to give a dowry to General Yun's mansion.
The marriage between Yun Chuchu and Xuanyuan Yeming has completely become a farce, and it has also become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Prince's Mansion
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Hades Mansion refuses to give the Yun Mansion a dowry."
Xuanyuan Yeyue sat at the desk, habitually rubbing the wrench on his thumb: "What are you doing again with Xuanyuan Yeming, hmph, you think that General Yun can take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage without a dowry?" The order went down, and it was said that in order to celebrate the wedding of the Hades King, the prince gave nine dowry gifts to General Yun's mansion, which will be delivered in a few days. ”
"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."
Xuanyuan Yeyue: "In addition, send someone to blow the wind in the palace, and the nine dowry gifts are always a little less." ”
"Yes."
The next day, the palace was in the early dynasty
"Your Majesty, ...... the Hades there"
Emperor Xuanyuan sat on the high dragon chair and looked at the rows of civil and military officials standing below: "I heard that the crown prince added nine dowries to the Hades King?" ”
Xuanyuan Yeyue stepped forward and said: "It's true, Erchen is the elder brother of the Hades King, and the younger brother is married, so Erchen naturally has to make some efforts." ”
Emperor Xuanyuan: "Yue'er is right, in this case, I also have to contribute." Someone came, I gave twenty dowry gifts to the Hades King, and sent them to the Yunda General's Mansion this afternoon with the crown prince's addition. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu on the side stepped forward and said, "Yes, the minister will do it." ”
Yun Ting knelt on one knee and put one hand across his chest: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”
Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand: "General Yun doesn't have to be polite, we will be in-laws in the future, and we will come to the palace to sit more when we have time." ”
"Your Majesty said that it was her blessing that the five girls could marry the Hades King, how dare Weichen climb high."
Emperor Xuanyuan: "There is not much time left until the marriage of these two children, Yun Aiqing should go back and prepare quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will let the five girls marry in a beautiful manner."
Back at the General's Mansion, Yun Ting had a straight face, and he couldn't figure out what Emperor Xuanyuan thought. If Emperor Xuanyuan married Yun Zhichu to the Hades Mansion purely for the sake of disgusting the Hades King, he could have sent the dowry in private, instead of saying it with great fanfare in the early court like today.
This time the marriage between the General's Mansion and the Hades Palace, on the surface, it seemed that he Yunting took advantage, but in fact, Emperor Xuanyuan used this marriage to pull the General's Mansion into the whirlpool of the battle for the throne.
Manager Yun: "General, Madame asks to see you." ”
Yun Ting frowned almost invisibly: "What is she here for?" ”
"I said that I came to discuss the marriage of the fifth lady with the general."
"Let her see me in the study." After speaking, Yun Ting turned around and walked towards the study.
Zhao Guilian: "General, the concubine heard that the people below said that you were back, so I thought about telling you about the marriage of the five girls." ”
Yunting: "Didn't you prepare it two days ago, why did you come here and ask?" ”
Zhao Guilian saw that Yun Ting's tone was not good, and her intuition thought that something had happened in the early dynasty today.
"That's the case, the concubine has been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days, but she hasn't decided how much dowry is appropriate for the five girls, after all, we haven't received any dowry from the General's Mansion."
Yun Ting's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table: "Then follow the rules." ”
The Xuanyuan Empire paid a lot of attention to marriage, among which there were relatively strict regulations on dowry and dowry. Generally, the woman's dowry is at least twice that of the man's dowry, and if the woman's other friends or relatives have additional dowry, it will be counted separately.
Zhao Guilian was overjoyed when she heard Yun Ting say this, she hadn't received the news from the palace yet.
"General, this is not good, if you do it according to the rules, the five girls don't have any dowry, at most a few extra makeup."
Yun Ting: "Today in the main hall, the prince gave nine dowry gifts, and His Majesty gave twenty gifts, adding up to twenty-nine lifts." ”
Zhao Guilian's face sank, and her voice also raised an octave: "Then, our General's Mansion is going to be returned to the fifty-eight lifts?" ”
"Hmm."
"General, this ......" Zhao Guilian was 10,000 unwilling in her heart, originally thought that she could get away with a few dowries to that little slut, but who knew that the prince and Emperor Xuanyuan would intervene halfway.
Zhao Guilian's careful thinking naturally couldn't hide from Yun Ting: "Put away your little actions, don't think that General Ben doesn't know what you think, this time the dowry of the five girls will be arranged by Aunt Li, so don't worry about it." ”
Zhao Guilian was shocked: "General, this is not logical, the marriage of the young ladies in the major mansions is the responsibility of the mother-in-law." ”
"There is nothing unreasonable, Aunt Li is just choosing the dowry, and she is not responsible for anything else. Besides, most of the dowries of the five girls are given by the emperor, and the dowry naturally has to be said in the past, otherwise let others see it, and think that the general does not take His Majesty in his eyes. This afternoon, the dowry in the palace will arrive at the General's Palace, and remember to do a good job of counting the work. ”
Zhao Guilian nodded very reluctantly: "The concubine knows, I will send someone to do a good handover in the afternoon." ”
Zhao Guilian really had no way to compete with Yun Ting, so she had to compromise, but fortunately, she still had the dowry from the emperor as a comfort. Even if things are ordinary, they always come out of the palace, and the meaning is still different. And there are nearly thirty dowries, and there are a few things to take, and then she will find a way to stay for her daughter as a dowry.
After Zhao Guilian left, Yun Ting sat for a long time, then sighed softly and got up and walked towards Chunhuayuan.
During the period when Yun Chuchu was away, Yun Ting came to Chunhuayuan very frequently, from once a week at the beginning to once a day or two now.
