Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Zhu Xinzhi carried her through the backyard and into the front hall.

The floor of the front hall was already covered with a thick red carpet, and Zhu Xinzhi put down Pei Xie Tang at the end of the red carpet and handed her to a young man waiting there.

Xie Yijiang has no son, and the maiden brother who sent Pei Xie Tang on the red carpet can only be from the clan. Xie Yijiang thought about it and chose Xie Yunqi, the grandson of the sixth ancestor family who had always taken the most care of their branch in the clan, to be the marrying person. After Zhu Xinzhi came here with Pei Xie Tang in his arms, Xie Yunqi stepped forward and helped Pei Xie Tang to the main hall.

Xie Yijiang's ancestral tablet has been invited from the ancestral hall to the main hall, Xie Yijiang sat on the main seat, watching his daughter walk to him step by step with the support of her brother, while smiling, she quietly turned her head to wipe her tears.

In the end, it is his own daughter, and she is dissatisfied when she looks at Heng and Vertical on weekdays, but when it comes to getting married, she is reluctant!

"Dad, please drink a cup of filial piety tea from my daughter, my daughter wishes my father all the best and a long life!"

After Pei Xie Tang knelt down in front of him, someone brought a cup of hot tea, and Pei Xie Tang held the tea in both hands and sent it to Xie Yijiang, so he said such parting words.

Xie Yijiang had tears in his eyes, took a sip after taking it, and said: "After getting married, keep your duty, teach your husband and children, and don't relax." ”

This is an exhortation to the bride.

After Pei Xie Tang kowtowed, he said, "Daughter, remember." ”

After that, she wanted to send a second cup of tea and said, "When my daughter leaves the pavilion, she should be so tea, and my father and mother should not read it." ”

As he spoke, he opened the tea and poured half of it on the ground.

Xie Yijiang nodded and said with tears: "I can't make a table, I cherish my thoughts!" ”

Pei Xie Tang kowtowed again: "Daughter, remember." ”

After that, the maidservant girl sent the third cup of tea, Pei Xie Tang raised his hands above his head, and Xi Niang read: "Ancestors and ancestors, inheriting Ermin, the daughter of the Xie family has become a wife, and since then she has been out of the cabinet, not for the daughter of the Xie family, but for the Xie family!" The ancestors and ancestors are on top, enjoy a cup of tea for descendants, bless my Xie family Ding is prosperous, there are in and out! ”

Then the maidservant helped her to her feet, went to the front of the hall, and poured all the tea on the floor.

After the completion of the three bows and nine bows, Zhu Xinzhi stepped forward, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, and promised the ancestors of the Xie family and Xie Yijiang in a dignified manner: "The Cheng Temple of the Zhu family, inheriting the genealogy of the Xie family, is introduced as the wife of the Zhu family." Don't make seven mistakes, don't give up. Soaring Huang Tengda, the same is connected with branches; Poverty and destitude are all one breath. The Xie clan is on top, Feng Qiu is willing to sneak in, to be the barrier of the Xie family, to protect his life, and to be willing to live up to the rest of his life, and live up to his deep feelings, all of them are one heart. ”

"Up-" Xie Yijiang put his hands around him.

Zhu Xinzhi held Xie Yijiang's hand and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that your lord will marry Miss to me, and Xinzhi will never fail her." ”

"Okay." Xie Yijiang nodded again and again, took the dowry gift list from Steward Dong's hand, and handed it to Zhu Xinzhi with great value.

At this point, the etiquette of marrying a daughter is completed.

Xie Yunqi bent down, Pei Xie Tang lay on his back, and he walked out of the gate of the Xie family step by step with him on his back.

Xi Niang said that she couldn't look back when she went out, she couldn't cry, Pei Xie Tang lowered her head, and thousands of sighs surged in her heart, but she didn't look back after all.

When she arrived in front of the sedan chair, Xie Yunqi put her down and helped her sit in the sedan chair.

Zhu Xinzhi sent a red envelope for the wedding, a thick stack, Xie Yunqi took it with both hands, made a gesture, and said a few words of congratulations and entrustment, Pei Xie Tang listened to it in his ears, and couldn't help but ripple.

"The auspicious time has come, get up the sedan car-"

The master of ceremonies dragged out his voice and shouted with great joy.

The sedan chair shook slightly, and Pei Xie Tang was lifted up as soon as he felt a shock. At this point, the Xie family is considered to be her maiden family who has nothing to do with her.

The firecrackers exploded in his ears, Zhu Xinzhi turned over his horse, and after bidding farewell to the guests of the Xie family one by one, he took the sedan chair to the streets of the capital. He wanted to walk around the main street in the capital and enter the gate of the Huai'an Palace. Taking advantage of this time, the guests who should change places will go to the Huai'an Palace to continue to congratulate Zhu Xinzhi on marrying his daughter-in-law.

Of course, before that, there's another one to see.

Look at the dowry!

After the team of welcoming relatives walked out of Xie's house, the team of Xie's family to send off relatives also followed. Family chests. There were red flowers hanging in front of them, two by two, following behind the team to welcome relatives, carrying red silk wrapped boxes to Huai'an Palace. These are the dowries of the third miss of the Xie family, how much, it symbolizes the face of the Xie family, and it also means the status of the third lady in the palace in the future.

I heard that the prince of Huai'an gave forty-eight dowry gifts, which is lower than thirty-six, and I don't know how to be ridiculed!

Xie Yijiang is incorruptible, I don't know what he looks like for the dowry?

For a while, there were those who were curious, and there were those who gloated, but it was a lot of jubilation.

Pei Xie Tang sat in the sedan chair, listening to the movement outside, and couldn't help but ask the basket with some worry: "You won't embarrass my father for a while, is there anyone optimistic about the second miss?" ”

She was really a little scared.

The basket nodded: "Miss, don't worry, Chunzi has been guarding the gate of the Peony Garden, and she will definitely not put the second miss in our yard." ”

Pei Xie Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but then raised his eyebrows again: "Is the wooden box sealed, shouldn't it show any corners?" ”

In the end, the eight boxes of dowry were taken from Xie Feifei's courtyard, Xie Feifei's dowry was not as rich as hers, and she was worried that she would embarrass herself. Although they are all good goods, there is also a difference between valuable and ordinary goods. Thinking of this, Pei Xie Tang felt a little painful in hindsight that the eight boxes of dowries that were thrown away were all valuable things of real money, and she wasted some effort to please others, but as a result, she cheapened the passers-by on the side of the road.

The basket smiled: "Miss is relieved to get married, and her heart is in her stomach, and there will be no mess." ”

But before the words fell, the chaos came out.

The red silk was wrapped in the dowry, and the two or two families went out from the Xie family. The visitors couldn't help but join in the excitement, boring and excited to count the dowry: "One, two, three...... Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six...... XXXI, XXXII, XXXIII...... Wow, there really are thirty-six lifts. ”

The crowd shouted excitedly.

But then, someone opened his mouth very sarcastically: "What's the use of more boxes, look at the last seven or eight boxes, the family carrying them is fluttering, what good things can be in them?" Take an empty box to make up the number, Xie Yijiang really made it. If you don't have money and are poor, you should pay attention to what kind of pomp and circumstance, and you should have as much as you want, which is better than this. ”

"No, I really want to go up and open the box to see what's inside!"

Some people say, and some people do it.

When the last Jiading went out, I don't know which of the immoral ones stumbled over his legs, and the Jiading who walked in front was unstable on his feet, and before he could react, he fell to the edge of the threshold, the box smashed on the ground, the red silk was scattered, and the lid popped up. There was no real money in the box, and the last box was just a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, and two pieces of paperweight, one side of pen and ink, which were not luxurious. The others took a closer look, and this ink was not a valuable thing, so they couldn't help sighing.

"Look, it's really not a valuable commodity."

"It's a shame."

"Ouch, where do you have to put the Xie family's face in the future? The third lady took these to marry, although the prince's family background is illustrious and does not look at the dowry, but this is too simple, and the husband's family may not be able to despise her in the future. ”

"Pathetic, pathetic!"

Everyone's discussion was louder than louder, Xie Yijiang couldn't help but blush with shame, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, he knew this, it was better to just don't want the eight boxes of dowry of the second daughter, just the twenty-eight boxes, none of them are all treasures, they will be said to be long-winded, at least the real value of the statement is better than now.

It's also that he Xie Yijiang has no ability, if he has a big family like the Meng family and the Chen family, will he wronged his daughter?

For a while, Xie Yijiang's heart was sore and could not be hidden, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Aunt Qiu did something wrong, and looked at him a little nervously and carefully, not knowing how to speak, so she dodged a little behind.

"Oh, there's more!"

When the Xie family was embarrassed, they suddenly heard someone behind them scream in surprise. Everyone looked back, only to see that the firecrackers that had just stopped rang out again, and with the sound just now, the suona came into their ears in bursts, and after the green smoke, two more family members wore red flowers and walked out carrying a box wrapped in red silk. The wooden box, all with golden hot edges, was a little difficult for the two strong family members to carry, and the flat shoulder was bent down, and the two ends were deeply sunk into the shoulders of the family members, which was very heavy at first glance.

Everyone's eyes moved to the box, but they saw that the box was not tightly covered, revealing a slit the width of a palm, and the inside was shining with gold.

It is a Guanyin Bodhisattva made of pure gold, and the lotus golden seat is dazzling!

Under the body of Guanyin Bodhisattva, patches of gold were exposed, and this box was full of gold bars!

"Wow!"

"It's all gold!"

For a while, someone said in amazement: "The Xie family has hollowed out their hometown, right?" ”

Some people know that the Xie family has some shops and estates, and if they sell them all, they can also get a lot of money. Coincidentally, everyone thought of this.

Even Xie Yijiang turned around and asked Aunt Qiu with some doubts: "Chengyin has prepared other dowries?" Where did she get the money? ”

"This ...... The concubine doesn't know. Aunt Qiu was in a trance: "I went to light it just now, and the dowry is thirty-six lifts, not much." ”

So, where did the rest come from?

Xie Yijiang stared at the family members who carried the boxes, and felt that all of them were very eye-catching, and he was even more confused: "No, when did our Xie family have these family members?" "All of them are tall, he can't fail to recognize them.

Aunt Qiu still shook her head: "This ...... The concubine doesn't know. ”

I don't know this, I don't know that, Xie Yijiang glared at Aunt Qiu helplessly.

But the words of blame were too late to speak, and were interrupted by the exclamations of others: "Wow, a lot, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six...... Fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four! God, there are fifty-four lifts, four more than the dowry of Huai'an Palace! ”
