Chapter 222: Dowry

Gong Mama forgot to give a dowry, and none of the copper plates belonged to the Bac Ninh Palace. It can be said that Murong Chu purchased it himself.

Princess Lu of Bac Ninh didn't mind that she didn't have to pay for it herself, but she could get a good reputation, she shook the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and see the dowry." ”

There were a lot of people gathered in the side courtyard of Moyuan Pavilion, Murong Jingzhong's two concubines, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Gao, both came over with their daughters, Murong Qi's daughter-in-law Liu was also there, and there were several wives, young ladies and young ladies from the side branches of Murong Jingzhong. The dowry is for people to see, the more people who come, the better, it is the respect for the bride, if there is no one, it is the husband's family who looks down on the daughter-in-law and her maiden family.

Of course, no one dares to despise the future princess of Bac Ninh, except for Lu's attitude of watching jokes, others are more out of praise and curiosity.

When everyone saw that Princess Bac Ninh was coming, they naturally stepped forward to salute one after another. Lu maintained a gentle and atmospheric smile, showing the princess's posture vividly. But when she saw the contents of the cage, the joy she had had disappeared in an instant.

One hundred and twenty-eight dowries are true, but the contents of the cage are not just a few things like ordinary dowries. Each box is full, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of mink fur, brocade silk is nothing. There are these things in the dowry of every family, but it is rare to be stuffed so full, and it is no wonder that the guards who carry the dowry are all strong, but they also seem to be quite struggling.

In the cages inside, there are gilded table clocks, colorful carpets, and all kinds of things that ordinary people have never seen.

The most striking thing is a box of tiles with big red characters and a box of adobe bricks wrapped in colored paper......

"Where's the dowry list?" Lu didn't want to count how many tiles and bricks there were by himself.

Mama Gong hurriedly went to get the list, holding the long list, Lu just glanced at it in a hurry, and knew what the one hundred and twenty-eight dowry meant.

Thinking that when his daughter-in-law Liu entered the door, the half-empty 128 dowries and pitiful real estate fields, compared with those in front of him, I am afraid that there is not even a quarter. Even if the dowry of the Mo family is lower than that of the crown princess and the princess of Jin, it is only less in quantity, but the value is probably more than that.

Princess Lu of Bac Ninh looked at her daughter-in-law beside her, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of resentment.

Speaking of the Liu family, it took a lot of Lu's thoughts. Although she is now the princess of Bac Ninh and is in charge of everything in the palace, her identity as a son has to be said to be a little embarrassing.

As we all know, the prince of Bac Ninh is Murong Chu, although Murong Qi is one year older than him, but he was born as a concubine, if there is no Murong Chu, his mother was supported as the concubine of the king of Bac Ninh, although there is so much unjustifiable, but as long as Murong Jingzhong, the king of Bac Ninh approves, he is the son of the king of Bac Ninh and will even be made the son.

But with Murong Chu's eldest son, his identity is difficult to define. Since then, it has become an existence that is not a concubine and a concubine. Therefore, his family affairs have also become the most headache for the Lu family.

Needless to say, the princely family that is equivalent to the gateway of the Bac Ninh Palace, and even the slightly lower official eunuchs, are reluctant to give him their concubines, but if they marry a concubine, it is equivalent to recognizing Murong Qi's status as a concubine in disguise. The Lu family was unwilling to marry his own son to a woman with too low a threshold.

In this way, Murong Qi's marriage was also delayed again and again, and it was not until three years ago that he married Liu, the thirteenth lady of the Yue Guo Mansion.

Liu was born to the original wife of the Duke of Yueguo, but the Duchess of Yue died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, so Liu became a motherless child from birth.

Although the duchess of Yue Guogong remarried did not treat her harshly in daily use, she almost ignored her.

Princess Lu of Bac Ninh accidentally met Liu at a banquet, and people were quite satisfied with her after some inquiry.

First, she is the young lady of the Yue Guo Mansion, and she will not insult the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion in terms of her background. Second, Liu's appearance is delicate and a little smart, which is quite a match for his cowardly son.

The most important thing is that this young lady is not treated well by the current Duchess of Guo, there are many women in Guogong, and naturally she doesn't care too much about this daughter, and the success rate of this marriage is still high. You must know that the Lu family has touched the wall several times before.

Sure enough, the Yue Guo Mansion did not object to this marriage, and in this way, the Liu family was married into the Bac Ninh Palace.

Her own son marries a daughter-in-law, Princess Bac Ninh will naturally not be stingy, but where can her family background compare to Princess Jiang, Jiang is the only daughter of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and all the property of the Jiang family eventually belonged to the Jiang family, and these fell into the name of Murong Chu after the death of the Jiang family. After many years of being away, Murong Chu has not only earned military merits, but also saved a lot of family funds, and the dowry gift given by her must be incomparable to her.

And the stepwife of Yue Guogong could not do her best as if she were marrying her own daughter when taking care of the dowry for the Liu family, just looking good on face, but in fact, there were many flashy things in it.

Originally, the Lu family didn't pay much attention to this, and she didn't plan to be greedy for her daughter-in-law's dowry, but now looking at everything in front of her, she naturally didn't think about how much dowry she gave to the Yue Guo Mansion at the beginning, but felt that the Liu family made her lose face.

However, Liu didn't care much about this, although her dowry was not much, but the dowry from the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion to the Yue Guo Mansion was not sent by a convoy with no end in sight!

Naturally, the Lu family couldn't show anything at this time, after all, in addition to his daughter-in-law, there were also aunts and clan relatives present. can only continue to maintain the elegance and solemnity that she should have as a princess of Bac Ninh.

But not all the other people present were as calm as her, and from time to time there were discussions, some surprised, some admired, and of course, some with envy and jealousy.

However, no matter what kind of mentality it was, it did not affect the circulation of news at all, and soon the news of the rich dowry of the eldest lady of the Mo family spread out of the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion like wings. Combined with the previous impression of Mo Li, people came to the conclusion that Miss Mo was a rich man, but she acted low-key and unassuming.

……

After giving the dowry, Ruo Lixuan not only did not clean up, but became even more noisy. Tomorrow is the day of the wedding, and this night is not destined to be quiet. In addition to his own family, several wives and young ladies of the same generation as Mo Li among the Mo family's clansmen in the capital also came to Mo Mansion one after another, preparing to marry Mo Li.

After Mo Li returned to Beijing, he also followed these relatives of the Duan family and the Mo family, and he had some impressions of these people. In addition, Danyu mentioned it on the side, but it was not a rudeness.
