(I wish you all a great weekend, please recommend, please collect, thank you again.) ）

Now that he had made up his mind, Gu Yanchuan saw that time was pressing, so he immediately decided to leave the cottage and return to Gu Yuan's mansion in Gusu City, and began to prepare for the marriage of his beloved daughter.

These three grass huts are just the residence of filial piety, Gu Yanchuan likes the mountains and forests here, and often comes to live for a few days after the expiration of filial piety.

Li Fushou brought two carriages on this trip, and one was assigned to Gu Yanchuan's father and daughter, and the two carriages headed towards Gusu City one after the other.

Gu Yuan

This is a courtyard deep in the high gate mansion, the plaque at the door has the "scholarly family" plaque written by Emperor Daoguang himself, which is even more extraordinary.

The two carriages came to the mansion one after the other, and the domestic slaves and servants inside had already heard the sound and came to greet them, led by Gu Yanshan's eldest son Gu Zhiwen, Gu Yanchuan's only son Gu Zhixue, and two jade-faced sons who read poetry and books.

The two of them stood on the steps with their heads held high, wearing brocade jackets and jade pendants tied around their waists, looking like a beautiful son in the world.

The carriage stopped

Gu Yanchuan was the first to get out of the carriage, and looked back at this luxurious carriage and was amazed, he had never sat in such a comfortable Western carriage, it was not only wide but also extremely luxurious.

The seats inside are covered with huge polar bear skin, which is really soft and warm to the extreme, and there are two small stoves on the left and right sides of the carriage, which bakes the warmth of the carriage.

In particular, the flexible steering pivot makes the huge 4-wheeled carriage very flexible, and with the solid rubber wheels, it is really like a boat on a boat, which is very comfortable.

On the other hand, in the traditional car, people who take a long distance are dizzy, and their skeletons are sore when they get off the car.

Li Fushou stepped out of the carriage and walked a few steps closely, making a gesture to help, Gu Yanchuan waved his hand and commanded; "Time is already very tight, you hurry back to prepare the dowry, send it to the door as soon as possible, I still need to invite guests here, I won't keep you for the time being."

"The son-in-law obeys."

Li Fushou bowed, bowed to the two eldest brothers standing on the steps, and turned to leave.

There were already maids in Gu's mansion who snatched them out, and got out of the car with Miss Gu Liuyan and went back to the house without mentioning it.

Marrying a large family and marrying a woman is a cumbersome and meticulous process, all of which are indispensable.

As the name suggests, the six hires refer to the process of marriage in the old era, which is to take a name, ask for a name, ask for a name, ask for a name, ask for a date, and welcome in person.

Previously, after the Li Mansion decided on the Gu family's daughter, he immediately hired a matchmaker to say yes, and the action was very fast.

After the approval of Gu Yanchuan, the master of the Gu family, the three processes of Nacai, asking for names, and Najib have been carried out, and the eight characters of the birthday have been exchanged.

Things have basically come to this point, and the people of the scholarly family regard the reputation as their life, and they cannot regret it easily.

Therefore, Li Fushou can call Gu Yanchuan his father-in-law.

The next step is to accept the gift, which is commonly known as the "big gift", the more the gift is prepared, the more valuable it is, and the more face the in-laws have.

The invitation period refers to the auspicious day and good day, and this matter will be confirmed by Gu Yanchuan three days later, that is, on the day of the Li family's ancestor worship ceremony, and the rest only needs to go through the process on both sides.

Early the next morning

A group of hundreds of people carried cages tied with red colored silk, a total of 128 carrying, and left the Fuyuan under the blowing and beating of the band, which immediately attracted a tide of spectators, and there were many discussions, and the envious eyes could simply drown people.

Behind the band were eight pure-blooded horses with pure white coats, each tall and vigorous.

The 92 boxes carried in front of it are filled with brocade, mink fur, cereals, four treasures of the study, fine wine lacquerware, pure wool wool, milk sugar ham, sausage milk powder and other precious dowry gifts.

The most eye-catching is the 36 cages that walk in the rear, from the open cage you can see the golden horses, gold ingots, golden elephants, golden Buddhas, gold bricks and the whole box of silver, especially the silver box, heavy need 4 strong men to carry together.

It's simply golden and shining.

On both sides of these 36 cages are heavily armed Li Jiabao Zhuang Ding, as well as guards with foreign guns, lined up in two neat columns to separate the crowd of onlookers from the cages, in addition to the government's green battalion soldiers holding red tassel spears to follow behind, in case of accidents.

In the end, 18 Western four-wheeled carriages marched to Gu Yuan together, which really shocked the whole city and attracted a tide of spectators.

This line of mighty team, walked to the Ganjiang River, which is more than a mile away from Gu Yuan, there is an ancient stone bridge called Gujia Bridge, because the crowd of onlookers is congested, the team is blocked here, and it is impossible to advance or retreat.

The crowd of onlookers were seduced by the golden treasures in the cage, and their eyes were red and their hearts were hot, and they couldn't help but make a loud noise, with the intention of demagogic people, grab a handful and run away.

The emotions of the black pressure were gradually intense, and there were signs that they couldn't hold back, which made the Zhuang Ding of Li Jiabao and the green battalion soldiers behind him panic.

In the hearts of these people, there is no intention to take advantage of the chaos to grab a hand.

"Cover the cage, fire a warning shot, and dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool...... Kill. ”

The cold order in the carriage was passed down, and the guards loaded their bullets with solemn expressions, and then fired their guns into the sky at the command of the leader.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The dense gunfire drifted away with a thick gunsmoke, which suddenly woke up the hot-headed onlookers, and then they felt afraid.

If people dare to swagger and show the golden baby, they are not afraid that you will rob it.

Gusu City, which has experienced the rebellion of the long-haired bandits, knows that the fast guns and cannons in the hands of Westerners are extremely sharp, and the Gusu City, which was guarded by 100,000 people, was broken by Western soldiers hired by the imperial court with fast guns, and it has been less than 20 years.

If you want to die, go ahead and grab it.

The courage of the common people came and went as fast as possible, and no one dared to take advantage of the chaos until the long gift-giving procession left.

The folk style of Jiangnan has always been feminine and feminine, and they are known for their gentleness and beauty, which is completely different from Shaanxi and Gansu, which dare to fight and kill.

If it were in that kind of place, these eye-catching and jewels would have been looted a long time ago, where would they wait until now?

Some of the exquisite gold ornaments were brought from Australia, and some were ordered to be made after coming to Gusu City, and the 18 four-wheeled carriages from Huhai to Gusu City carried a large amount of property as a dowry.

I was originally going to marry a daughter-in-law, aren't these things going to work?

Western four-wheeled carriages have a strong carrying capacity, and in the war at the end of the 18th century, their military use reached its peak.

During the invasion of Russia by the French Emperor Napoleon alone, the French army mobilized 38,700 heavy and light four-wheeled carriages, each heavy with a capacity of 3,000 pounds of supplies, and a light carriage with a capacity of 1,600 pounds of supplies.

The road to Moscow was long and long, and the number of horses used by Napoleon's army to tow carriages reached 187621, and less than a thousand were able to return to mainland France.

Following the goods transported to Huhai by the ship "Taishan", Li Fushou's carriage on this trip was loaded with some, after all, it is an Australian specialty, which is rare in China.

Gu Yuan has already gathered guests, and it is full of friends.

The loud housekeeper in the house stood in the courtyard and sang loudly, and the sound of the subdued and frustrated voice was very charming, spreading far away, causing a lot of exclamation.

“……

The 16th salute contains two pairs of extremely precious pure white polar bear skins.

The 17th to 20th salutes contain ten pairs of American brown bear skins.

From the 21st to the 24th gifts, there are 120 Australian hams.

……

The 97th salute, there are 18 gold ingots.

The 98th salute, a golden bodhisattva.

The 99th salute, a golden reclining Buddha.

The 100th salute, a golden ship.

The 101st salute, a golden elephant.

The 102nd salute, a pair of golden lions.

……

Finally, there are 10,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, 8 BMWs, 8 Western four-wheeled carriages, 200 German-made guns, and a number of other gifts.

This grand scene really made the well-informed guests stunned, and they felt a little unacceptable.

My God, how much does it cost?

Not counting anything else, 10,000 taels of gold alone is worth 350,000 taels of silver, plus these precious gold artifacts and 20,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that there will be no less than 500,000 taels.

Originally, there were some rumors, saying that the Gu family was afraid that their daughter would not be able to marry, so they were anxious to stuff it into the hands of others, and they didn't even want the demeanor of a high-ranking family.

At this time, in front of the dowry of gold and silver, the rumors have long been broken, and all that is left is full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Such a golden beetle son-in-law, why is the Gu family cheaper?

Today, Gu Yanchuan wore the top of the 4th rank of the imperial court to go out to greet guests, and he saw that his face was full of red light, and he felt very face-saving.

The boldness of his son-in-law Li Fushou greatly exceeded his expectations, and he really earned enough face.

There is no shortage of food or clothing, all kinds of flowers are the best, what is the fight for in a lifetime?

It's just a face!

The high-ranking officials of Jiangnan Province gathered in the flower hall, and Gu Yanchuan brought Li Fushou, who was wearing a tuxedo, to come in and greet the high-ranking officials of Jiangnan Province and the Lord of Futai.

"Mr. Yuan Ding, you are really a real person who doesn't show up, tsk...... The size of the handwriting was so great that Lord Futai and I were taken aback. "The right political envoy Luo Min has limited talent and learning, but the Flying Eagle is very skillful, and he is also a man who has had fun for most of his life, and his speech is far less rigorous than that of Han officials.

He walked over and patted Li Fushou's shoulder, and said with a smile; "To tell the truth, when I saw so many gold and silver treasures, I had the heart to lead my troops to grab one, but when I saw those 200 German-made fast guns, I put out this thought."

"Lord Fantai said with a smile, how can a mere thing get into your eyes?" Li Fushou responded with a light smile.

The political envoy of Youbu is a senior official in charge of civil affairs, finance and taxation of a province, and he is a high-ranking official from the second rank, especially in this southeastern place, which has always been a fat and rich beauty, and it is appropriate to call a lord of the domain.

The so-called Qing prefect in one year, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Luo Min presides over the civil affairs and taxation of Jiangnan Province, with a high position, and his annual income is more than 100,000 snowflakes and silver?
