Whether it is a wealthy family or a small family, marriage is a major event, whether it is a man's or a woman's family, a marriage will have to break the muscles and bones for more than ten years.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, where the commodity economy was highly developed, the financial gifts and dowries were more important, the man's family was a gift of wealth, and the woman's family was a dowry, so the 'right of the family' was especially important at this time.

The door is not right, the household is not right, first of all, marriage is a big problem, one party gives a shabby financial gift, and the other party takes out a rich dowry, this marriage is unacceptable.

Some people say that as long as the woman looks like a flower and jade, it doesn't hurt that the dowry is shabby, and the man will also take out a rich gift to marry, which can also be true, but more often than not, it is not a wife, but a concubine.

Most of the time the husband and wife of the Song Dynasty were equal, and the basis of equality was the equivalent of economic and financial resources, and the right person was a guarantee of economic and financial resources.

Especially for the wealthy and powerful, marriage is a kind of maintenance or exchange of political interests, and marrying a wife and daughter will be more cautious.

Although the Fan family can only be regarded as a middle-class family in terms of financial resources, far from being comparable to the richest man in Pingjiang Mansion, in the eyes of many people, the daughter of the Zhu family marrying Fan Ning is a high climb.

You must know that Fan Ning's current fame and identity can completely marry the county lord or county lord, of course, marrying the princess is still a little close, marrying the princess generally has to be the descendants of the founding fathers, such as the Cao family, the Guo family, the Gao family, the Pan family, etc., in history, Zhao Zhen's eldest princess married Cao Shi.

Although the Zhu family is rich and rivals the country, its political status can only be regarded as third-rate, the first-rate is the royal family, the second-rate is the founding father and the ruling minister, and the third-rate is the upstart of the foreign relatives.

But even if it is a relative, the status of the Zhu family is far inferior to that of the Zhang Yaozuo family, the Zhu family is only the concubine of the first emperor, and it belongs to the out-of-style relatives, Zhu Yuanjun was gradually squeezed out of the circle of power, which is directly related to this reason, of course, it is also related to his own standing on the wrong side back then.

Fan Ning is the first place in the imperial examination boy section, the fourth place in the Jinshi department, favored by the Son of Heaven, at the age of nineteen, he was promoted to a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, the official secretary and the young eunuch, and he was in charge of the power of a local state, especially the overseas frontier officials, famous all over the world, if he wanted, even if there was no suitable county lord or county lord, at least the Cao family was very willing to marry his concubine to him.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanfu would rather turn his face with his brother than give up this marriage.

In the back hall of Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yuanfu, his brother Zhu Yuanfeng, and Zhu Pei's father Zhu Xiaoyun, the three of them are finalizing Zhu Pei's final dowry.

Generally speaking, the woman's dowry list should be taken out at the same time when the man's family gives a financial gift, but both parties are well-matched, or know the roots, and it doesn't hurt to give the dowry list in the end.

Zhu Pei's dowry list is a thick stack, not to mention those gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, jade, silk and satin, etc., at least hundreds of boxes, the key is real estate, this is the big head.

"Did my father always plan to live in Mudu?" Zhu Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yuanfu shook his head, "I am the patriarch of the Zhu clan and the eldest son, so I naturally want to live in the old house for a long time and guard the tomb of my parents. ”

"In that case, why don't you give the house in Muduzhen to Appe?"

The house in Mudu Town covers an area of 200 acres, which is Zhu Yuanfu's other house, and he intends to leave it to his second grandson Zhu Yi, Zhu Yuanfu has four sons and two daughters, and the four sons have given birth to more than a dozen grandchildren for him, Zhu Pei ranks third among his granddaughters, but she is his favorite granddaughter, and she has always been by his side.

Zhu Yuanfu's eldest grandson, Zhu Zhe, was born with a lack of oxygen, which caused his mind to be not very good, so he could only be kept in the house.

The second grandson Zhu Yi was also born to Zhu Xiaoyun, but he is the de facto eldest grandson, has finished Taixue, received the grace of the Son of Heaven, gave the same Jinshi background, was operated by Zhu Yuanfu, got the Jiupin official, and is now serving as the secretary of Pingjiang Mansion, currently living in Changzhou County, his wife is the daughter of the Gu family, a big family in Wu County, Zhu Yuanfu wanted to leave the mansion in Mudu Town to him.

Zhu Yuanfu took two steps and asked Zhu Yuanfeng, "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Yuanfeng pondered for a moment and said: "That warehouse Mingren Mingli has been using, as far as I know, most of the items in it are Aning's, I agree with Xiaoyun's opinion, besides, Yi'er is an official in Changzhou County, basically does not go to Mudu, that house is given to him, and finally it is also given to the Gu family, what do you let the Fan family who lives in Mudug Town think?" ”

"You're right, I made a mistake, then this mansion will be included in Pei'er's dowry, as well as the five thousand acres of land and a few shops I bought in Mudu Town, and Pei'er will also be given to Pei'er."

Zhu Xiaoyun looked at the list of dowries and said, "Does my father really plan to use the Zhu family's money shop in the capital as a dowry?" ”

Zhu Yuanfu glanced at his son, "This is something that has been decided a long time ago, I have already told A-Ning's father, what do you think?" ”

"The child thinks the dowry is too big, but the father has five granddaughters and twelve grandchildren!"

Zhu Xiaoyun is not undistressed about his daughter, it is precisely because Zhu Pei is his daughter that he is a little difficult to be, he has three brothers under him, and more than a dozen nephews and nieces, the father has given such an important asset to his daughter, and the other three brothers will definitely be dissatisfied.

Zhu Yuanfu sneered and said: "Zhao Zongshi wanted to give his sister to Fan Ning, but Fan Ning didn't agree, Old Man Cao wanted to give his granddaughter to Fan Ning, and Fan Ning didn't reply, he was bent on marrying Pei'er, if other grandchildren can reach such heights, I won't be stingy." ”

Zhu Yuanfu said to Zhu Xiaoyun again: "You don't know! A Ning's love token to Pei'er is a night pearl, not a glowstone, a real night pearl, this is the only night pearl outside the royal family, it can be called a priceless treasure, at that time Pei'er was still the daughter of my Zhu family, A-Ning is so atmospheric, will I Zhu Yuanfu take back what I said again, you don't care about face, I still want this old face! ”

Zhu Xiaoyun's face was flushed when he was reprimanded by his father, and he bowed down and said, "The child knows his mistakes!" ”

Zhu Yuanfu snorted heavily, "You are short-sighted and can't do big things!" ”

Zhu Xiaoyun was bitter in his heart, how could he not understand? His son-in-law's official position is about to catch up with him, how can he care about the property he gives his daughter to marry, the key is that those money shops are not his Zhu Xiaoyun's property, but his father's property!

The father has four sons, and he is the eldest son, how can he not express his position, you must know that the father's most valuable property is the Zhu money shop, and the essence of the Zhu money shop is the twelve money shops in the capital, the father just waved his hand to his daughter, what do the other brothers think?

Zhu Yuanfeng said with a smile next to him: "Xiaoyun's worries are understandable, it's best for the eldest brother to gather a few nephews to explain, and everyone reaches a consensus, so as not to have an estrangement between the brothers in the future." ”

"What's there to discuss!"

Zhu Yuanfu's eyes glared and he said angrily: "Is the Zhu family very poor? There are a total of eighty-six money shops in the world, there are more than 100 properties in various places, there are seven mansions in the capital alone, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, millions of copper coins in stock, countless gold and silver, and so many valuable things, so much property is not enough for them to divide up? My decision this time, who dares to say a word, I will cancel his inheritance and not give a penny! ”

Zhu Yuanfeng can't say anything more, in fact, his heart is like a mirror, how can he not be like this, the gift he gave Zhu Pei to marry is twenty ten thousand stone ships, where does Zhu Pei need this thing, he also used Zhu Pei's marriage as a reason to give it to Fan Ning, Zhu Yuanfeng is also optimistic about Fan Ning, and bet heavily on him.

"Then it's finalized, in addition to the fine and soft dowry for Apei, there is also the house in Mudu, three shops, five thousand acres of land, and twelve money shops in the capital, so be it!"

Zhu Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "Father, Ah Pei's mother and I also plan to give Pei'er 10,000 yuan. ”

Zhu Yuanfu waved his hand, "That's the money you gave your daughter for yourself, not a dowry." ”

"Then what I gave to Ape is not a dowry." Zhu Yuanfeng said with a smile.

"That's not counting, twenty ships are put in it, don't you make people laugh? You can think of it, and you can actually send twenty ships. ”

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "It was A-Ning who told me that the three brothers were going to do overseas trade, so I wanted to support them." ”

Zhu Yuanfu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Why don't I know about this matter?" ”

"Maybe they just decided! Big brother, our Zhu family should not be involved in this matter. ”

Zhu Yuanfu knows Fan Ning very well, just like Fan Ning wanted to make Tian Huangshi back then, who would have thought that Tian Huangshi, who was worthless at the beginning, would actually become a treasure, Fan Ning must have his deep meaning to do ocean trade, and he really wanted to talk to Fan Ning about this matter.

At this time, the housekeeper said urgently outside the door: "Master Qiyu, the Fan family has sent a makeup reminder gift!" ”
