Yan Yan, who returned to her room, talked to Qingyu Qingyun again, making it clear that she would not let the two of them be concubines, and at the same time taught them some rules, when they first arrived in a place, try to talk less and see more, even if they have any questions, they should wait until there is no one in private to ask her and so on.

After that, she handed these two over to Qingyu and Qingwei, because Qinghe and Qingmiao had to help her with needlework.

No, early the next morning, Ma sent someone to send Yan Yan a bunch of clothes, including light-colored fine linen and silk fabrics suitable for making profane clothes, as well as colorful silk satin.

Yan Yan has the memory of the original owner, and needlework is naturally not a problem, so she took over more than half of the wedding dress made by the original owner, and then she knew how cumbersome a wedding dress was in ancient times, such a large dress, almost embroidered with phoenixes and peonies, in addition, it was necessary to use gold and silver threads to embroider the margins or important parts, and the placket and collar and cuffs were also complicated auspicious cloud patterns.

No wonder Ma had to take her down the mountain in advance, because she couldn't finish this wedding dress in half a month, and according to Yan Yan's recollection, the original owner seemed to have been preparing this wedding dress since last year, which shows how eager she is for this family business.

Now although she is not married to the person she was originally married to, Yan Yan still took over the wedding dress, she has no other choice, and she will definitely not rush to make a new one now, this dress is only one sleeve away.

Therefore, from this day on, Yan Yan basically did not go out of the house, most of the time he took Qinghe Qingmiao to do needlework, Ma saw that they were really busy, and saw that Yan Yan was still a little resistant to the Lu family, so he handed over the clothes, shoes and socks to the Lu family's elders to the people in the sewing room.

That's an afterword.

Now it is said that the Ma family took this gift book of the Lu family into the palace to see the Queen Mother, which is also unfortunate, when she went, she just in time for the crown princess Sun to lead the two-year-old Li Xi to laugh in front of the Queen Mother.

I don't know why, when I saw the crown princess, Ma didn't want to take out the gift book, but who knew that Sun asked Yan Yan and asked Yan Yan if he was still practicing in the nunnery.

As soon as the topic opened, the Queen Mother also asked about the progress of this family affair, and learned that the three books had passed two books, the six ceremonies had passed five ceremonies, and the date of marriage was set for the tenth day of October.

Ma couldn't do it, so he took out this gift book, "But it just so happened that the courtiers happened to come to the Queen Mother to ask for an idea, this gift book was preliminarily drawn up by the Lu family, and Mrs. Lu said that if there is any dissatisfaction, everyone will sit down and discuss." ”

Aunt Rong took the gift book from Ma's hand, knowing that the Queen Mother's eyes were not good, she did not hand it to the Queen Mother, but read it herself.

Because the beginning of the book of rites is two thousand taels of gold and silver, two granges, two shops, and then wedding cakes, tea, wine, three livestock, fish, rice, clothing, jewelry, etc., the queen mother raised her hand to signal Ah Rong to stop after hearing the two loads of wedding cakes.

"What do these sons of families in the capital generally give?" The Queen Mother asked Ma.

Nothing else, she seemed to remember that when the Yan family married her sister and entered the door, that is, when Yan Yan's grandmother came out of the pavilion, the Yan family gave 1,000 taels of gold just as a dowry, 6,000 acres of fields, six shops, and several pages of other things.

Of course, these things were brought back to the Yan Mansion by her sister in the end, not only that, but their Yun family also added two thousand taels of silver and one thousand copper coins, because there were no popular silver tickets and money tickets in that meeting, these things were transported by hiring several mule carts, and they also found a dart board.

"This, the average son-in-law is almost like this, but it's different if it's the son." Ma looked down and replied.

"Oh, what do you give to the concubine?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"This also depends on the situation of each family, the rules of the Yan family are that the concubine becomes a relative and the concubine goes out of the cabinet, the bride money or the silver at the bottom of the box is 1,000 taels, the field is 200 acres, there is no shop, and finally 2,000 yuan is used to buy some clothing, jewelry and furniture or something, the total does not exceed 5,000 taels of silver or 5,000 copper coins."

When the Queen Mother heard that the things of the Lu family were estimated to be worth more than 10,000 taels, which was much stronger than ordinary concubines, she nodded and planned to skip this question.

Who knew that the crown princess on the side spoke, "Cousin, can you ask where the Zhuangzi given by the Lu family is, how many acres of land there is in total, and where is the shop?" ”

"This Mrs. Lu didn't mention it." Ma didn't dare to look up, because the crown princess asked the point.

Not to mention other places, near the capital, the price difference between good land and barren land is much different, the upper land is ten taels of silver or ten yuan per mu, but those sandy land, wasteland or something are sold for two taels or three taels or even one or two acres, and Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi are not the same, there are 1,000 acres of land in the big Zhuangzi, there are also less than 100 acres of land in the small Zhuangzi.

There is also a difference between shops, the shops in good areas of the capital are sold for three or four thousand taels of silver, but the partial places are only sold for one or two thousand, if the town outside the city is cheaper, a few hundred taels of silver can buy a shop.

And Ma saw that Mrs. Lu did not indicate the location of these Zhuangzi and shops, and guessed that Mrs. Lu wanted to get away with it, otherwise, she would not have been so generous, and gave two thousand taels of silver and two Zhuangzi and two shops, you must know that Lu Duan had just been fined for a year, and Mrs. Lu was forced to apologize to Yan Yan in public and admit her mistake, how could this breath be so easy to swallow?

But Ma couldn't do it, she was afraid that she would make things difficult for the Lu family in the dowry, and if she caused something else again, she would be troublesome if she annoyed Yan Yan and announced that she would not marry.

Therefore, she took the book of rites to find Yan Yan, thinking that Yan Yan was young and inexperienced and might not understand the Tao here, but Yan Yan directly pushed her to the Queen Mother, and it was easy for the Queen Mother to pass the test, but she was asked by the Crown Princess again.

No, as soon as the crown princess asked, the queen mother also thought of this, pondered for a while, and said: "Just say what I mean, the dowry and dowry will come according to this book, but there is one point, the grange is near the capital, how can the two Zhuangzi get together to a thousand acres of land, and the shop also needs to be on this Chang'an Street, my uncle is a mute and doesn't understand mundane affairs, so we can't let Yan'er marry and take the dowry to support the family, right?" ”

"Yes, the courtier, let's go talk to Mrs. Lu." Ma looked down and replied.

"Well, go ahead, remember, let's just say that it means the mourning family, the mourning family has wronged this child enough, I can't let her marry a lovely person, and I can't let her worry about two meals a day in the future."

"Please rest assured that the Queen Mother has the dowry left by her mother, as well as the shop and land that our old lady left her, and the husband also said that she will add some more, and she will never worry about her livelihood." Ma Shi said busily.

As soon as he said this, Ma realized that he was wrong, but it was too late to take it back.
