Chapter 221: Dowry (6K, 10,000 words updated for pink tickets)

500 bride price......

The people in the hall were petrified by this sentence.

In the 1,000 years since the founding of Great Xia, no one has ever given such a heavy dowry, right?!

Many people are muttering in their hearts.

Five hundred lifts, this is to obstruct traffic......

In fact, there were no certain rules for the dowry in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Except for the Son of Heaven marrying a wife, there are laws that stipulate various etiquette and rules, and there are no legal restrictions on other families.

It all depends on one's own ability and ability.

Of course, within the same family, there are some unwritten rules. For example, the dowry of the younger brother to marry a wife cannot exceed that of the elder brother, otherwise it will be indistinguishable from the young and the old, which will cause discord in the family.

But this situation, of course, has no impact on Zhou Huaixuan.

He himself is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Divine General's Mansion, and if he marries a wife, even if it is a thousand dowry, no one dares to say that he is too much.

As long as he can take it out, as long as he is willing to take it out.

Don't say that he can get the 500 dowry on his own, let's just say that his grandfather, Old Man Zhou, is really looking forward to his eyes being green!

As long as he can agree to get married, let alone five hundred lifts, five thousand lifts can be taken out by the old man Zhou!

Compared with the eldest great-grandson of Old Man Zhou, money and wealth are \(≧▽≦)/ foreign~~......

Therefore, this time, the Zhou family was hired in a hurry, and it was handled by the Zhou Da Steward, and it was all from the Divine General's Mansion.

Zhou Huaixuan took Sheng Siyan's hand and walked out first.

Old Man Zhou laughed and said, "Let's go and take a look." My old man went first. As he spoke, he handed their dowry booklet to Sheng Qiye with his own hands. Then he went out with him.

Sheng Qiye hurriedly sent the dowry book to the Wang family. Said: "You go back and rest." Take your time. I'll take the little wolfberry out to have a look. ”

Wang nodded, "You go, Haosheng entertains the guests of the Divine General's Mansion." He said to the people in the hall: "After reading the dowry, everyone must come back to sit at the table." We Siyan has prepared excellent food and wine for you. I beg your pardon for missing me. ”

She has only been giving birth for three days and is still in confinement.

Xisan didn't need her to come out, but for Sheng Siyan's marriage ceremony, she still struggled to come out and stand up.

But when she went out to see the dowry, she didn't have the energy, and she hugged the little hollyhock from Sheng Qiye's hands. Wang said with a smile: "Go, Huai Xuan has spent so much effort, I think I want to marry sincerely." After the dowry, let them discuss a few days of marriage, and pick one for us. ”

According to the rules of Great Xia, the wedding date must be discussed immediately after the dowry.

Half of them are hired about 100 days before the wedding.

In this way, maybe Sheng Siyan will get married in March and April next year.

After Wang finished speaking, he nodded to the people in the hall, and then left with the child in his arms.

The guests in the hall followed the three and three out in twos and threes, and went to the gate of the Shengguo Mansion to wait for the dowry.

According to the rules, after these dowry gifts. It will be displayed in the courtyard of the woman's house for the relatives of the woman's family to see.

Seeing a little orphan girl who can't even climb their home. can have such a great blessing, Princess Zhao on the side heard it and couldn't help but say to Feng Shi sourly: "Mrs. Zhou, I don't know how much dowry you have when you marry into the Divine General's Mansion?" It won't be less than five hundred, right? ”

Old Madam Zheng coughed, and when she didn't hear Princess Zhao speak, she said to the daughter-in-law and granddaughters of the Zheng family: "Let's go out and see the excitement." "Take most of the people away.

Dali Temple's wife, Xie Shi, helped Sheng Siyan and Wang entertain guests after they left.

Listening to Princess Zhao's words, Xie Shi chuckled in his heart and looked at Feng Shi with some concern.

This is indeed a difficult question to answer.

It's hard to know that Feng Shi has a pimple in his heart because of this, and he will look at Sheng Siyan unpleasantly in the future.

Xie sweated in his palms, racking his brains to think of ways to change the topic.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shi smiled and said, "How can this be compared? My son marries a wife and is hired, what do I do as a mother-in-law compared to my daughter-in-law? To compare is also to compare with peers. I am a person who knows etiquette and shame, and I will not eat this irrelevant flying vinegar with my daughter-in-law......"

There is a needle hidden in these words, implying that Princess Zhao asked this question because she didn't know etiquette and shame, and Princess Zhao blushed.

She forced the corners of her mouth to smile and said, "Mrs. Zhou is really generous. As he spoke, he also went out with the maid.

Xie Shi said to Feng Shi: "Let's go and have a look." Such a big deal in your mansion is a blessing for this girl. ”

"Ah Yan is a little girl who attracts people's pain. I looked at her and rejoiced. Only she is worthy of my son and worthy of this dowry. Feng said with a smile, and glanced at Wu Chanjuan.

Feng has been married to the Divine General's Mansion for more than 20 years, although he is not a family, but he still has some understanding of the family background of the Divine General's Mansion.

Moreover, Zhou Huaixuan's marriage was decided by Mr. Zhou himself, and the old man naturally had a private house to subsidize him.

Feng was only happy about this.

Princess Zhao thought that this would provoke Feng's hatred for Sheng Siyan, but she was wrong.

In this world, Feng only looks at one person unpleasantly......

Wu Chanjuan's face was pale, and she looked more sad than dead, and she followed behind Yin Er's grandmother in despair, and was held left and right by the two girls of the Wu family, Wu Chanying and Wu Chanying, and Mu Mu followed them out in a daze.

Mrs. Wu had a straight face, surrounded by her daughter-in-law, and also went to the outer courtyard.

The group came to the tall building next to the gate of the outer courtyard and watched the Divine General's Mansion put up dowry all over the street.

Zheng Yue'er stood behind her sister Zheng Yu'er and smacked her tongue: "Sister, the mahogany burdens and carrying boxes all over the street are all dowry gifts from the Divine General's Mansion?" ”

Zheng Yu'er couldn't take her eyes off it, nodded with a smile, and said, "Exactly." Look at the rows of geese in front of you. Let me see, more than five hundred lifts. ”

A person next to him smiled: "Although there are many geese, they are only one lift." ”

The door of the Sheng Guo Mansion opened, and Old Man Zhou, Old Man Wu, Old Man Zheng and Sheng Qiye stood at the door with their hands behind their backs, looking at the grand pomp in front of them with a smile on their faces.

Sheng Siyan was wearing a silver fox scarf, and a silver fox scarf and a Guanyin pocket on his head. Standing beside Zhou Huaixuan. From time to time, he glanced at Zhou Huaixuan. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of joy.

Zhou Huaixuan nodded to Zhou Xianbai on the side, and said lightly: "Send it in." ”

Zhou Xianbai had been waiting for his words for a long time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "The eldest son of the eldest son of the chief of the mansion will be hired as the grand girl of the Shengguo Mansion, and the dowry will be five hundred lifts, please take a look at the Sheng family!" ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion who were erected not far away.

In order to show the sincerity of the Zhou family of the Divine General's Mansion, and Zhou Huaixuan himself is also a general of the Sanpin Weilie, so this time the person who gave the dowry. They are all used by the sergeants of the Divine General's Mansion.

As soon as Zhou Xianbai's words fell, twenty-two soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion in armor came over with four geese on the left and right.

According to the ancient rites, the dowry must have a wild goose, which is also called "the gift of the wild goose".

However, geese are rare now, and they fly too high and are not easy to fight, so most people use two geese instead.

But the dowry of the gods must have been made with genuine geese, and they personally called it back.

The dowry must be an even number. Take the auspicious meaning of "pairs in pairs".

Zhou Xianbai shouted on the side: "First lift: the gift of the wild goose!" Eighty-eight new geese! ”

Each sergeant carried four geese in his hands and entered the gate of the Shengguo Mansion with his head held high.

Sheng Siyan glanced at Zhou Huaixuan a little speechlessly. Whispered: "Two are enough......"

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at her, "Not enough." ”

Zhou Xianbai took the dowry book and continued to read: "The second lift: the gift of the deer!" Eight sika deer, white-lipped deer, nine-colored deer, and black water deer! ”

The dowry is a whole deer, which is already an ancient etiquette.

The most prudent thing in the Great Xia Dynasty was to use deerskin as a dowry.

Sheng Siyan didn't understand very well, but seeing that the people present saw that the deer that were carried up showed a look of awe, she probably knew that this dowry was extraordinary.

"The third lift: Cave Immortal Monkey Wine, Eighty-eight Altars!"

Hearing this, the people who came to see the excitement were excited.

"What?! Did I hear me right? The cave fairy monkey wine, which is hard to buy, is actually used for hiring?! Or is it eighty-eight altars at once?! This hand, even if it is shelved Wu Caishen's family, it will be bankrupt! ”

Sheng Siyan glanced at Zhou Huaixuan with some uneasiness. - Is it really good to show off like this?!

Zhou Huaixuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said lightly: "I am willing." ”

Well, count you on as ruthless......

It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and I'm willing.

Moreover, these words made Sheng Siyan think of the situation in his previous life, when a couple held a wedding in the church, the two of them said the word "I do" to the priest, and couldn't help blushing, with a look of longing in their eyes.

Zhou Huaixuan looked at her sideways, and she looked back at the past with a light smile.

Zhou Xianbai was still reading out the dowry.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The eighth lift, eighty-eight silver foxes, eight hundred and eighty-eight sables, and eight thousand eight hundred and eighty lynxes. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The tenth lift, the four seasons, eight hundred and eighty horses each. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Twenty-five lifts, gold wire drill bit face, red treasure head face, blue treasure head face, green Fei head face, South China Sea shark bead head face, each eighty-eight boxes. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The thirtieth lift, yellow pear, red sandalwood, mahogany, golden silk nanmu, gloomy wood, eighty-eight pieces of wood of various colors. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The eightieth lift, the deed paper of the shop street on East Street, a total of eighty-eight. ”

Hearing this, more people boiled.

"What? The street on East Street is actually the property of the Divine General's Mansion?! I said that if you do business over there, why don't you have ruffians to make trouble...... It turned out to be the backstage of the Divine General's Mansion! ”

The news that the Shenjiang Mansion went to the Shengguo Mansion to be hired soon spread in the capital.

More and more people come to the gate of Shengguo Mansion to watch the excitement.

Niu Xiaoye also heard about this at home, and was speechless for a while.

She hurried to find Niu Dapeng.

"Big brother, take me to the gate of Shengguo Mansion to see the excitement. I'm going to see the dowry of the Divine General's Mansion. Niu Xiaoye said, biting his lower lip, his eyes were obscure.

Niu Dapeng also heard about this and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it." The Divine General's Mansion is so generous with a dowry. Yixing is a step too late. ”

"Isn't Brother Wang in the capital?" Niu Xiaoye asked quietly.

"No, I'm out." Niu Dapeng smiled, "Okay, the grand girl is married, and Yixing will probably no longer be right with the princess." He asked Niu Xiaoye again, "Have you been to King Zhao's Mansion a lot lately?" ”

Niu Xiaoye shook his head, "I don't go often." Princess Zhao doesn't like me very much......" she said a little stupidly.

"Oh." Niu Dapeng thought about it. "Let's go and see the dowry first. I'm going to see it. Let's see how rich the Divine General's Mansion really is. ”

Niu Dapeng took Niu Xiaoye to the Shengguo Mansion. I found that it was crowded along the way.

There are people everywhere, as well as long bridal burdens and boxes, so you don't need to go to the gate of the Shengguo Mansion to see it.

It's a three-week loop around the capital......

"Tsk, the Divine General's Mansion is indeed a big deal." Even Niu Dapeng was full of praise.

Niu Xiaoye bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, Shenjiang Mansion, really don't care about the life experience of the grand girl?" ”

If you really don't care, why can't you marry a good man?!

Her background is compared to Sheng Siyan. It's obviously not bad!

Just because Sheng Siyan was stained with the light of the Sheng Guo Mansion?!

But she is not the real concubine of the Shengguo Mansion, is the Divine General's Mansion blind?!

Niu Dapeng stared intently at those dowry burdens and gift boxes, and said, "How can you not care?" He didn't believe that God would marry an orphan girl whose real parents were unknown as his eldest granddaughter-in-law.

"Then why are they still hired?" Niu Xiaoye nodded at those dowries.

Niu Dapeng glanced back at her, "Isn't this simple?" This shows that the life experience of the grand girl is not an orphan girl with unknown parents at all! ”

"Her life experience is not simple...... Niu Dapeng said thoughtfully.

"Isn't it?" Niu Xiaoye gasped, "Who is that?" Why don't you tell everyone? ”

"Why do you say it to everyone? As long as the gods know no. Niu Dapeng shook his head and educated Niu Xiaoye again, "Xiaoye." It's really wrong for you to do this. Originally, Miss Sheng was very good with you, but you offended her. Now she wants to marry into the Divine General's Mansion and be the eldest and youngest grandmother. It's farther away from you. Alas......"

Niu Xiaoye's face turned purple with anger, so he turned his head stiffly, and looked at the dowry team outside the car window without saying a word.

Their cart followed the dowry procession of the Divine General's Mansion and went to the Shengguo Mansion step by step.

Niu Xiaoye suddenly saw a familiar person through the car window, who was also standing on the other side of the street, looking at the dowry team of the Divine General's Mansion in a daze. β€”β€”It is the Wen Yi room of the Wen Da girl in the former Changyuan Marquis Mansion.

However, she is no longer the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, but an ordinary person like Niu Xiaoye, and even inferior to Niu Xiaoye, she is just a sinner's daughter under the fence!

"What to look at......" Niu Xiaoye snorted lightly, full of disdain for Wen Yi's room.

"Big brother, is Miss Wen still living with Second Brother Wang?" Niu Xiaoye pushed Niu Dapeng.

Niu Dapeng nodded, "Of course." Miss Wen's third uncle refused to take in their family, so they could only live in Yixing. Speaking of which, Yixing's house is near here. ”

That is, near the Shengguo Mansion.

Wen Yi's room was attached to the wall, and his eyes were full of grievances as he looked at the pile of dowry like a mountain of reclamation.

Whatever is in this world, Zhou Huaixuan can't wait to hold it in front of the grand girl......

Not only all to her, but in pairs and in pairs.

How good would this qiΔ“ be if it was for her?!

Wen Yiroom looked at it for a while, and finally sighed, closed the door, and leaned against the door panel in a trance.

Those days are long gone from her.

Now, she can only hold on to one person. - Wang Yixing.

……

The cart of the Niu family finally came to a place not far from the Shengguo Mansion.

It's so crowded that the carts can't get in.

Niu Dapeng and Niu Xiaoye got out of the car and followed the crowd to the gate of the Shengguo Mansion.

Not far away, they also saw another acquaintance. - King Zhao.

King Zhao rode on his horse and walked slowly to that side.

Finally came to the gate of the Shengguo Mansion, King Zhao got off his horse, glanced at the dowry with his hands behind his back, and then looked at the gate of the Shengguo Mansion.

He saw Old Man Zhou, Old Man Zheng, Old Man Wu and Sheng Qiye standing side by side, talking.

Next to them, he saw Zhou Huaixuan standing straight with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking straight ahead, and the expression on his face was faint.

There was also a little girl wearing a silver fox fur standing next to Zhou Huaixuan, who was Sheng Siyan, that is, his fiancΓ©e.

King Zhao couldn't help but sigh: they were still one step too late.

The Divine General's Mansion has already made a marriage with the Shengguo Mansion.

Even the dowry is so earth-shattering, is it a warning to him, or a reminder?

That's when it happened. Zhou Huaixuan leaned over slightly. Something was said in Sheng Siyan's ear. A beautiful smile bloomed on Sheng Siyan's face.

She looked up at Zhou Huaixuan, with a look of wholehearted trust, and King Zhao's eyes widened!

What's going on?!

This expression really looks like a facet the more you look at it!

Thinking of Xiang Rong, King Zhao felt a pain in his heart again.

The arrogance of wanting to go to the Sheng family's theory faded away.

The little girl who laughs like she wants to look like she must like Zhou Huaixuan very much, right?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have smiled like that......

Just like I wanted to smile at him at the beginning.

Want to ...... Want to ...... Want to ......

King Zhao's heart was in mourning, and in the noisy crowd, he covered his face with his hands, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Sheng Siyan stood on the steps. In the blink of an eye, they saw King Zhao standing not far from them, and he actually covered his face and cried.

Sheng Siyan was a little embarrassed.

walked down the steps, came to King Zhao's side, and called softly: "Lord Wang......"

King Zhao took a deep breath, wiped his face with his hand, put down his hand casually, looked at Sheng Siyan and said, "On the big day of the grand girl today, I haven't congratulated the grand girl yet." ”

"The prince is polite." Sheng Siyan smiled and was blessed, "Do you want to go in and sit down?" The princess is also at my house. ”

"Princess?" King Zhao was stunned for a moment. Only then did he remember that it was Wang Qingmei, and frowned. "What is she going to do?"

"The princess has come to add a pot to my brother." Sheng Siyan smiled, "You really don't want to sit?" ”

"Nope." King Zhao shook his head, "I'll go." He originally wanted to come to the Sheng family to ask about the guilt, but when he saw Sheng Siyan's smiling appearance, he couldn't get angry anyway.

"The prince walks slowly." Sheng Siyan smiled and waved goodbye.

King Zhao glanced at her again, remembering that her background was unknown, and he also felt pity for her, so he couldn't help but soften his voice and said, "You can go back too." After thinking about it, he asked her again, "What's your name?" He seemed to have heard Wang Yixing say it, but he didn't take it to heart.

Sheng Siyan smiled: "Siyan, my name is Siyan." ”

"Siyan?" King Zhao chewed on the name, "Which two words?" ”

"The thought of the mind, the face of the face." Sheng Siyan replied with a smile.

King Zhao nodded, "Good name." He got on his horse and went to the other side of the street.

It wasn't until he returned to King Zhao's Mansion that he suddenly woke up.

"Siyan! Isn't that what you mean?! King Zhao was stunned by this discovery, remembering that the little girl's smile was the same as Xiangrong's, and then thinking about the two of them with almost the same name, he couldn't help but look at Sheng Siyan even more.

……

On the street in front of the Sheng Guo Mansion, the sky had already darkened, but the dowry continued.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Four hundred and sixty-five lifts, eight red jade warm stone mountains. ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Ruby warm stone? There are still red jade warm stones in this world?! ”

Not only there are, but there are stone mountains, which are larger than stones, and there are eight of them.

"Ruby warm stone? What is it? ”

"You don't know that, do you? - Ruby warm stone, even if it is a small piece, can be placed on the body to warm the body. You don't have to wear fur in winter. A mountain of red jade warm stones, tsk, in winter, the whole house does not need to make a stove. ”

"Eight were given, and one can be placed from the hall to the ear room."

Niu Dapeng listened to it next to him, and his ears were red.

He said excitedly: "Oh my God, there are such good things in the Divine General's Mansion, not even the Wu Guogong Mansion!" ”

Niu Xiaoye said suspiciously: "Why? Obviously, the Wu Guogong Mansion has always been known as the God of Wu Wealth, why doesn't their family have it, but the Shenjiang Mansion actually has it? ”

Niu Dapeng was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "...... How can the Wu family compare with the Zhou family? Although they are both the four major mansions, the status of the Zhou family, the other three together can't catch up with ......"

But the Zhou family, which couldn't catch up with the three national mansions combined, hired Sheng Siyan to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law.

In the future, the entire Divine General's Mansion will be hers......

Niu Xiaoye pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.

……

"Five hundred, one gold mine in the northwest, one silver mine, and one jade mine! - This is the deed paper. ”

Zhou Xianbai finally finished reading the 500 dowry, and his mouth was dry.

A little maid next to him hurriedly handed him a bowl of water.

Hearing this last dowry, the crowd was about to riot.

Depend on!

A few thousand taels of gold and silver are considered remarkable.

God will hire the government with a gold mine!

This is going against the sky?!

Sheng Siyan is even more embarrassed.

She even suspected that Zhou Huaixuan was deliberate......

Zhou Huaixuan nodded to Zhou Xianbai indifferently, "Let's carry it in." ”

The sergeant of the Divine General's Mansion carried the last bridal salute on his shoulder.

The crowd outside has only dispersed, but everyone has a deeper understanding of the luxury of the Divine General's Mansion.

A few days ago, when the Shengguo Mansion asked for the things they had stolen from the Changyuan Marquis Mansion, they thought that it was already very remarkable, and no other family could surpass the Shengguo Mansion.

Now that the Divine General's Mansion has been hired, these people know how profound the foundation of the Four Great Powers Mansion is......

And on the same level, the Shengguo Mansion is compared with the Divine General's Mansion, and there is a gap between the poor and the rich.

Those who had once beaten the idea of the Sheng Guo Mansion instantly dispelled all thoughts.

Looking at the appearance of Master Zhou's short-sightedness, he can't be provoked......
