Chapter 206: Dowry
Although it is the first time to comb such a hair, it is fortunate that after so many years, he is skilled in business and has an excellent memory. After letting Zhu Linxi fiddle with it a few times, he combed Wang Jibao with a particularly good-looking Suiyun bun.
Zhu Linxi gave her the hairpin he prepared for Wang Jibao and inserted it into her hair.
He also carefully selected a few small and delicate gold and pearl hairpin rings from Wang Jibao's jewelry box as decorations.
When Wang Jibao looked in the mirror, he was quite satisfied with this. For this reason, she also took the initiative to kiss Zhu Linxi on the cheek.
"Lin Xi, you're amazing. You can learn this. ”
Zhu Linxi's enthusiasm for Wang Jibao has always been accepted in full, and at the same time, he also paid attention to the exchange of courtesies.
So he hugged Wang Jibao in his arms and kissed him fiercely.
After kissing him satisfied, he hugged Wang Jibao, who was lying softly in his arms, and said very stingily: "You haven't said you love me for many years?" ”
Wang Jibao thought about it carefully, as if the last time she said she loved Zhu Linxi was many years ago, and she made it clear that she and Zhu Linxi were not family members but lovers.
So he pouted, "You haven't told me for years?" ”
Zhu Linxi pressed against Wang Jibao's ear and said affectionately: "I love you." Love you for life and never change your heart. ”
Wang Jibao's heart was sweet and excited, this was the first time they heard Zhu Linxi's confession when they grew up. So he responded generously: "I love you too, I love you for life and life, and I will never change my heart." ”
Hearing such words, Zhu Linxi's heart was also warm. He hugged Wang Jibao tightly and didn't say anything, just hugged him like that. It wasn't until Deshou outside came to urge them that they got up and tidied up with each other. Hand in hand to walk towards Yongqing Palace.
The next palace banquet, although nominally to thank everyone for coming to participate in Wang Jibao's ceremony, actually did mean to choose a concubine for the fifth prince Xia Liyan.
The mother and concubine of the fifth prince finally helped their mother's family and gave the girl from Yongchang Bofu to Xia Liyan as the main concubine.
Emperor Yongsheng then pointed out the concubine of a four-rank official family and made Xia Liyan a side concubine.
The wedding of the five princes was set on the eighth day of April on the third day after Wang Xibao's wedding. On that day, Wang Jibao was going back to the door, so she was not required to attend the wedding.
February 16 is the day when the servants of the Shaoguo Rite Department and the envoys of the Shaoguo State represent their country's Shaojun King to the Heshun Marquis Mansion.
On this day, there were not many dowry gifts received by the Marquis of Heshun. It's only the standard 128 lifts. But when everyone saw the dowry list, they were undoubtedly not surprised.
In addition to the necessary live geese, antique calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of precious furs, jewelry, and precious medicinal materials, some houses, fields, shops, etc. were directly sent to the title deed. In addition, there are several dowry gifts with silver tickets.
Forget about these, that small gold mine, as well as dozens of barren mountains in the northeast, and only 10,000 slaves, isn't it too exaggerated.
On the premise that others didn't know, Wang Ziyi also gave Wang Jibao a dowry gift, which was the object that Zhu Yonghong gave him in advance last time.
Wait for Wang Jibao to reach out and take a look, good guy, 200,000 soldiers in the northeast of Shaoguo.
Is this the banner of rebellion handed over to their husband and wife?
Don't? She thinks she's a decent person. In Dayong, she has always been a good people and a good mass who uphold orthodoxy. Why, before this arrived in Shaoguo, it had already begun to embark on the road of rebellion.
Since the regent prince and father, your reputation in Shaoguo is no longer good, can you run all the way to the dark and take the charge of traitorous ministers to the end?
No matter how Wang Jibao wants to leave the name of the rebel thief to Zhu Yonghong, what she urgently needs to accomplish now is to become the family of the rebel thief first. Anyway, it's properly among the nine clans.
The fifth day of the third month is the day of the hypnotic makeup. Shaoguo has already sent so many dowry gifts, and everyone is also looking forward to seeing what dowry the Shunhou Mansion has prepared for Wang Jibao?
Early in the morning, the middle door of the Marquis Heshun Mansion was opened, and with the sound of firecrackers, the dowry was sent to Zhu Linxi's Wujin house in Dayong, which was not far from here, like flowing water.
Among Wang Jibao's peers in the Shunhou Mansion, except for Wang Yuze, who was far away in Fengbei County, did not attend, the other two brothers, four cousins, and the four cousins of the Zhenguo Mansion were all present, and the division of labor was clear to command the dowry.
In addition, Emperor Yongsheng also sent several of his sons over to support Wang Jibao.
Good guy, except for the little sixth son who was a little younger and didn't send it, the royal cousin group headed by the crown prince added four more, plus a royal cousin, that is, Xia Liyan, the fifth prince who is about to get married.
This time really let everyone in Yongdu see what it means to be a real ten miles of red makeup.
Originally, the distance between the two families was very close, and the team that sent the dowry to the Shunhou Mansion was stunned not to take the straight road, but chose to detour the whole city. On this day, the entire Yongdu is decorated with red, standing on a high place and watching, it is like a flowing red ocean.
No one can calculate how much dowry the Marquis of Heshun Mansion has raised. Anyway, all the dowries of Shaoguo were given to Wang Jibao as a dowry.
Not counting these dowries, the first 128 dowries at the beginning this time were given by Emperor Yongsheng.
After all, although Wang Jibao's marriage is not considered a peace between the two countries, it is really of great significance. So as soon as Emperor Yongsheng mentioned it, the household department immediately went to prepare for it.
They all know that Shaoguo has already sent the princess to the country. If the two countries form an alliance, their Dayong Ke will really be in danger.
Therefore, the household officials were quite happy to do it this time, and even picked out some valuable and well-meaning objects and sent them over. For fear that it will not be good, Shaoguo will have to pick and choose from it.
Anyway, Zhu Linxi and Wang Jibao are quite satisfied with this. It was Emperor Yongsheng who felt his heart congested.
What's going on, he wants to get a summer palace for his concubine, left and right. It's so easy to get a dowry for Bao Mei this time.
The subsequent 128 dowries were prepared by Empress Dowager Jiang for Wang Jibao since she was a child. It is said that it is one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, but careful people see that the weight of each dowry is more than twice that of the daughter of an ordinary famous family.
The next 128 dowries were prepared by Empress Qin for Wang Jibao. Although it doesn't seem to be as prepared as the Empress Dowager Jiang, it is also a real one hundred and twenty-eight lifts. And the rare treasures on it are also worth a lot of money.
After that, the dowry sent out of the house was prepared by the Zhenguo Mansion. The same is one hundred and twenty-eight.
There were no girls in the two generations of the Zhenguo Mansion, so the dowry they originally planned to prepare for their daughter was finally packed and given to Wang Jibao.
In the dowry, there were several princes, two aunts and several cousins and sisters-in-law of the Marquis of Heshun, some relatives and friends, and some close friends of Wang Jibao, making up a total of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts.
Wang Jibao's eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and third brother also prepared a full 128 dowry for Wang Jibao, in the back team.
The rest is the dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight taels prepared by Zhu Linxi for Wang Jibao, and Wang Jibao's personal property has also been made up of a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight raises.
The last thing to be sent out was the dowry of two hundred and fifty-six lifts carefully prepared by the Marquis of Heshun Mansion for Wang Jibao.
Originally, as a regulation of the princess, the dowry of the princess's wedding should be one hundred and twenty-eight. But the person Wang Jibao wants to marry is more special, so there is really no one, especially Yushi, who stands up to find fault and accuses him of being too extravagant. After all, the more and better Wang Jibao's dowry, the more he can give Dayong a long face.
With such financial, material, and human resources, it is estimated that the dowry can properly top the total number of dowries of all the famous ladies of the Yongdu family combined, and there will be some surplus.
Even if such a dowry is the envy of everyone, no one dares to fight the idea of a dowry. Didn't you see that the royal guards and the royal guards were sent out to escort the dowry?
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Dayong has begun to gradually warm up. The surrounding mountains are green, the water is clear, and the sky is blue. It was pretty good weather.
On this day, the yellow calendar is clearly marked with the words "good luck" and "suitable for marriage".
Wang Jibao rested early the night before and put a milk and honey mask on herself to take care of her skin.
But because there is something in my heart, I don't sleep peacefully this night.
Over and over again, Jiang Shi showed the contents of the booklet at the bottom of the box to her over and over again.
Jiang didn't tell Wang Jibao about the above in detail, anyway, Wang Jibao wouldn't need it for a year and a half. But the process that needs to be done still has to be completed. Therefore, the items that should be sent still have to be sent.
may also be because this wedding is said to be Wang Xibao's marriage, but three days later, Zhu Linxi and Wang Xibao will live back to Heshunhou's Mansion. So everyone didn't have the feeling of the water spilled by the married daughter.
On the contrary, the faces of everyone in the Heshun Marquis Mansion were filled with happy smiles.
Even Wang Xu, Wang Brown and Xiao Wang Bao, who made trouble two days ago, were all happily involved in the great cause of how to ask for red envelopes from their sister-in-law after knowing that Wang Jibao would come back to live three days later.
Wang Jibao got up early, and as if it was the day of the ceremony, she was stuffed into a large wooden barrel full of petals and washed for a long time.
After she came out, she first wore regular clothes to greet the old marquis Wang, the Li family, Wang Ziyi, the Jiang family and others.
It is customary to have weddings in the evening, so it is not as tight as the one I have ever seen.
Because Wang Jibao is going to get married today, he and the Marquis of Shun decided to have a reunion breakfast that he had never eaten before.
After breakfast, the men went out to work on the evening wedding. The woman stayed to teach Wang Jibao all kinds of imperial husband experience.
Although Zhu Linxi does not have creatures such as concubines and tongfang. However, his identity is there, and in addition, he also has a second mother who is a princess there, anyway, there will be no shortage of women for Zhu Linxi in the future.
