399 Married IV
It seems that Xiao Mingxu still values this son, otherwise how could he have disappeared for more than ten years and suddenly appeared.
Xiao Minglu and Mrs. Zheng helped to welcome the guests, and his daughter-in-law Liu also helped.
This was all arranged by Mrs. Xiao, for fear that there would be insufficient manpower at that time.
Seeing that the old lady attached so much importance to Xiao Jinhe's wedding, Shi was so jealous.
When her son got married, although she also helped to make it lively, it was not as lively as Xiao Jinhe's now.
The dowry alone is not more than half of what Xiao Jinhe prepared.
She didn't want to think about it, Mrs. Xiao had prepared a lot of dowry gifts for her, but she thought that the Liu family was just the daughter of a second-grade official, so she deducted some of them.
Moreover, Xiao Jinhe's dowry gifts were all the profits that were allocated to his shops at the beginning, and he was able to pour them out.
After the sedan chair arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, An Nianzhi was led off the sedan chair by Xiao Jinhe.
Originally, Xiao Jinhe's ten-year-old cousin Xiao Zhihui could have dragged the bride off the sedan chair, but Xiao Zhihui was timid and didn't dare to take on this big responsibility.
Xiao Jinhe just wanted to take it personally, so there was nothing to do with Xiao Zhihui.
Lin Jiaojiao also stood at the door and watched the bride enter the door, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She is not a few years older than An Nianzhi, but she can only marry a middle-aged person like Xiao Minglu as a concubine, but An Nianzhi can marry such a young talent as a wife.
Although she is a concubine, the granddaughter of the right prime minister, if she marries an ordinary person, she can also get a wife, but her father wants her to marry into this Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
also said that Xiao Mingxu's life will not be long, as long as he goes, Xiao Jinhe is underage, and Xiao Minglu is very likely to become the Marquis of Dingyuan.
As a result, Xiao Mingxu is now alive and kicking, where is his life short?
Lin Jiaojiao sighed in her heart, but she is not stupid, An Nianzhi is now in the limelight, she has to have a good relationship with her.
As for the rest, we have to think about it in the long run.
Xiao Jinhe led An Nian Yi Road forward, and after passing through several corridors and gardens, he came to the happy hall.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
"Send to the cave!"
The wedding went according to the process of the master of ceremonies, and nothing went wrong in the middle.
After a bunch of etiquette and customs, An Nianzhi was sent into the cave room, while Xiao Jinhe accompanied the guests outside.
I don't know who said it, Bizhuxuan was singing the gift list over there, and he carried the dowry to the courtyard, do you want to see the excitement.
Suddenly, the hall was half empty.
There is still nearly an hour before the table is seated, and it is still too late to see the excitement.
They wanted to see what was in the legendary one hundred and ninety-two dowry gifts of the county lord of Yunqing.
A copy of the gift list was handed over to Mrs. Xiao, and another copy was in the hands of Ansnian.
At that time, this will be handed over to An Nianzhi and will be kept by her.
Old Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment when she looked at the thick stack of dowry lists, thinking that the one hundred and ninety-two dowry was only about twice as thick as the previous dowry list, but she didn't expect it to be twice as thick.
How can there be so many things?
She handed the gift list to Aunt Fang and said, "Read it." ”
Fang Gu took the list and began to sing: "A pair of Hetian jade Ruyi, a pair of red coral in the East China Sea, and a rich gold abacus......"
With the sound of singing, one by one things were carried by the maid to the treasury in silver plates.
The guests present had heard that the county lord of Yunqing had a lot of dowries before, but at this time, when they saw so many valuable things taken out one by one, they still couldn't help but sigh.
Before, they thought that there was only one object in a box, but when they saw the first box containing Hetian Yu Ruyi open it and take out other things, they all gasped.
It's an eye-opener.
Usually, other people's houses will pack things loosely, giving people a sense of fulfillment and more face.
This Yunqing county lord married but came against others, on the surface there are many things, but in fact there are more hidden inside, which is really jaw-dropping.
Before Fang Gu was halfway through reading, she felt that her mouth was dry, and the little maid next to her hurriedly brought her a glass of water to moisten her throat.
After a few sips of water, he continued to sing.
This time it was a feast for the eyes to see the lively guests, so many good things, some of which they had never seen before, and they felt that they were worth a lot of money just by hearing the name.
"I said before that the lord of Yunqing was favored, and sure enough, it's true, the eldest princess of Changle actually prepared so much dowry for her."
"Haven't you heard that the dowries sent by Jiang Fu are all forty-eight? These alone, plus the dowry gift from the little marquis, have to be carried hundreds of times. ”
The sedan chair procession walked in front, and the dowry in the back immediately followed.
Before, Jiang Mansion sent too much makeup, and many people wanted to see how much dowry this Yunqing County Lord had.
Recently, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the lord of Yunqing has more dowry than the princess, and I don't know if it's true.
The first thing to be raised is a pair of jade Ruyi, which is considered decent, and the first lift of most wealthy families is jade Ruyi.
However, some careful people found that the bride price was obviously carried by two strong guards, but they felt that it was extremely difficult to lift, the rope was tight, and the steps were a lot heavier. "Do you think this jade Ruyi is so heavy? Could there be something else in there? ”
"You don't say I haven't noticed it yet, it looks really heavy."
"There's no going to be a mezzanine in this box, is it?"
Everyone talked about it, and they guessed correctly, there was indeed a mezzanine inside the box.
At first, there were too many dowries to fit, and in addition to the dowries hidden in the cabinets, these ordinary boxes were also stuffed with dowries.
Like the first jade Ruyi, there are still a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
The front one is quite good, but the guards who carry the furniture in the back have the bitterness in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the dowry couldn't land on the way, they would have to put it down and rest for a while.
Everyone is still looking at what is in the dowry, whether it is expensive or not, and when it comes to the back, it is completely guessing which dowry is heavier and there are more things.
The cabinet containing the most dowry was carried by six guards, and although the number of personnel had increased by a few, they still struggled to carry it.
When the people saw them, they smacked one after another, and they all looked sideways, and they didn't know what was so heavy in the cupboard.
The two houses of Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Dingyuan Hou Mansion are only about four or five streets apart, but because they can't go back, the return route is a bit long.
Even so, the first dowry has arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but there is still a dowry that has not gone out.
The people in the capital are boiling, and these dowries not only dazzle their eyes, but there are so many of them, which can really be described as ten miles of red makeup.
At the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mingxu stood at the door to greet the guests, at first everyone was stunned when they saw Xiao Mingxu, who had not seen him for a long time, and only remembered who he was after thinking for a while.
