Chapter 919: Family in Troubled Times 7
At this time, the Great Yan Kingdom was in the transition period from feudal society to capitalist society, and the old and new forces, the old and the new ideas were colliding in various ways, and all kinds of movements were vigorously unfolding.
What emancipates women's rights and interests, what advocates new-style marriage and opposes arranged marriages, advocates women going out of the house, opposes binding small feet, and strongly demands that women receive the same education as men, and so on.
At the beginning, Xiao Zhuxian's wedding was Chinese-style, but before that, she also published a statement the size of a tofu block in the newspaper.
Although in the eyes of many people, Xiao Zhuxian is a high-level marriage, but after all, she is an aunt's wife, and more and more people advocate the abolition of the old marriage system, and monogamy has been talked about by many people.
So she didn't marry with ten miles of red makeup like in the past, Xiao Boyin always felt that the two warlords were greedy for his Xiao family's money and medicine.
So under the pretext of publishing in the newspaper, the dowry list was also typed on it, which made this statement look even more nondescript, but fortunately, at that time, there was everything new, and this was nothing at all.
But Lin Xi was a little sad, this is the only thing that an powerless father can give his daughter a plan in the face of power.
In that era, how many businessmen heard about these warlords and came to hang up one by one.
Take Fenglai City as an example, when the robbery between the two sides was the most serious, even the tax had to be doubled.
The king of the Central Plains rushed over, stipulating that he must go according to his statutes, and the tax officials forced the payment of money as if they were urged, and the currency under the rule of the king of the Central Plains must be used.
And Zeng Dashuai grabbed it, and he also drew a gourd in the same way.
As a result, the Fenglai people could only prepare with both hands, Wang Dashuai came, using the money printed by Wang Dashuai, and Zeng Dashuai came, using Zeng Dashuai's money.
And the two marshals shouted that the people must use their currency, but when they had money with them, they stipulated that they must use silver dollars or gold.
Xiao Zhuxian's dowry was a box of gold and silver jewelry, and there were even two diamond rings the size of lotus seeds.
Thirty thousand silver dollars were neatly stacked in three large and delicate copper chests.
In addition, there is a three-storey building located in a prime location in Fengzhou.
Many people feel that this Xiao family's attachment to the Marshal's Mansion is really a bloody investment.
Only Xiao Zhuxian knew that this was given to her by her father.
"If you marry into such a family, others look down on you if you don't have any money, especially ...... Ay! Xiao Boyin sighed and suppressed the sentence "Give and receive privately, or be a concubine": "What my father gave you, the silver dollar is used by yourself on weekdays, and you can't leave it to reward the servants, this thing is rare for everyone." The gold, silver, and soft jewels are all handed down from your ancestors, and each of you three has a copy. If there is a real fight and it is hidden, this thing can be used for money anywhere. As for the house, leave it for you to stay for a few days in your spare time. ”
In the era when patriarchy is generally preferenced, this father is willing to send Xiao Zhuxian to study in the school, without his children to climb the dragon and the phoenix to seek his own interests, and he is even more willing to prepare such a large dowry for his daughter, Lin Xi feels that he is really worthy of being saved by the client.
The three kinds of dowry have their own uses, you must know that a piece of the ocean at that time was at least four or five hundred yuan above today, and the money alone was given more than 10 million. The real estate during the war was not worth much, but Fengzhou, where the Shuaifu is located, is still very stable, and it is the most expensive city in the five northern provinces.
The meaning of Xiao Boyin's words is that when you are not comfortable in the Shuai Mansion, you should hide there for two days, and don't be too wronged yourself.
After the rape incident, he never said a word to the client, so he naturally understood that it was all Liu Lian's self-righteous scheme, and his daughter was innocent.
In fact, he doesn't want his daughter to marry, even if something like this happens, he can still arrange a suitable family affair for his daughter, so as not to let the child follow in his footsteps.
But Xiao Boyin couldn't help it, because he was facing a warlord who killed people without blinking.
The county order of the Yin Po family, the government that destroyed the door.
And they are defenseless, facing the great heaven of the five northern provinces, and they are uncrowned emperors, and they are killed and killed!
It's just that what Xiao Boyin didn't expect was that the dowry of his daughter was locked by Jian Anru when she entered the door.
Zeng Shaojun is eight years older than Xiao Zhuxian, and Jian Anru is four years older than Zeng Shaojun, how can she beat Jian Anru, who is already twenty-nine years old!
Lin Xi told the person who pulled the foreign car to send her to the Marshal's Mansion and give him a piece of the ocean.
The coachman was willing to pull this dirty woman, he didn't believe that this woman could really give him a piece of the ocean, but the temptation was too great, at most he ran for nothing, if he really got a piece of the ocean, Tie Dan would have money to buy medicine to eat.
Not only is the main gate of the Shuai Mansion strictly guarded, guarded by heavily armed guards, even the corner gate, the two guards saw a tattered foreign car coming, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”
Lin Xi poked his head out from inside: "Open the door!" ”
Although Xiao Zhuxian has always lived in a simple house in the Shuai Mansion, the guards still recognize the commander's first aunt's wife.
Marshal's father, commander's son, I don't know who is the eldest of these father and son.
The Shuaifu covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters, so Lin Xi will not drag his injured foot, which is still a little painful, to move himself to the yard step by step.
When he arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, Lin Xi raised his voice and shouted to the mother-in-law on the second door: "Bring me an ocean!" ”
The coachman was suddenly overjoyed, it seemed that this dirty woman really wanted to give him money, he couldn't believe it, this pie in the sky was really his turn?
The mother-in-law was surprised to see that it was actually the aunt's wife who had returned, but when she heard that she was about to open her mouth and ask for a piece of the ocean, she pouted and said "wait" and walked away.
Lin Xi asked the coachman to wait here, and someone would naturally give him money after a while.
Then Lin Xi limped and followed the woman into Jian Anru's room.
Different from their aunts, Jian Anru, the head lady, lives in an independent two-story blue brick building, with a combination of Chinese and Western furniture, including calm and atmospheric rosewood furniture, and romantic floor-scrolling window screens and gold-plated high-backed seats.
When Lin Xi walked in, a room of servants and women were waiting for his wife to show him the next day's work, so no one reported it, and Lin Xi saw Gardenia kneeling on the ground crying or something.
Although it is said that at this time, she must kneel without being happy, but Jian An is such a daughter of a family, and she still has the same style as before.
Lin Xi looked around at the oil paintings and piano furnishings, and felt very sarcastic.
"Madam, please send a big ocean to the coachman outside to send him away."
Lin Xi interrupted Gardenia's words when he came in, and Gardenia, who was originally kneeling on the ground, suddenly saw Lin Xi, and was immediately shocked, and sat on the ground: "You...... You ......"
Jian Anru was listening to Gardenia crying about the process of his aunt's wife being taken away by Dongyang soldiers, but his aunt actually came back.
And as soon as you come back, you will ask for money!
"My sister is not a family and doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and an ocean is enough for a coachman to earn half a month. If you open your mouth and ask for an ocean, if you want it like you, our Shuai Mansion will have to drink the northwest wind. Jian Anru said unhurriedly.
Lin Xi was not annoyed: "Sister, I remember that I brought 30,000 yuan into the mansion when I got married, and I still have the right to take out a piece to reward people, right?" ”
