Chapter 152: Customs
The busy maids in the living room have receded at some point, and the decanting soup on the coffee table has turned from hot to cold.
Dong Zhuo's originally dizzy head gradually sobered up, but he was still a little drunk when he looked at Cai Yong.
Dong Zhuorong has been a horse all his life, and both his physique and the amount of alcohol are obviously higher than Cai Yong.
Cai Yong explained for a while, his mouth was dry, and he was about to take a sip of the sobering soup, but found that the soup was cold.
"I've eaten a lot of wine and meat at the banquet, and I'm afraid I'm going to have a stomach upset when I drink cold soup." Cai Yong muttered softly, and put down the soup bowl again.
"Hahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "Why do you have to do this, I'm ordering someone to serve hot soup." ”
Cai Yong shook his head, "It's late at night, why bother the subordinates, if Ming Gong is fine, then Yong will leave first." ”
Seeing that Cai Yong is ready to go home.
"Slowly, slowly." Dong Zhuo stopped Cai Yong again. "Bo is slow and slow, just the right thing, in addition to accepting him as a righteous son, I also have a strategy in my heart."
How many talents are there in the world? Cai Yong couldn't understand why Dong Zhuo was entangled in Fazheng.
However, since Dong Zhuo said so, Cai Yong had to wait for him to finish speaking, but Cai Yong's eyes looking at Dong Zhuo were already a little resentful.
Ahem.
It should be drowsy and dazed.
Although it was a little unkind to pull Cai Yong, a sixty-year-old man, to discuss matters in the middle of the night, Dong Zhuo still said with a thick face: "Bo Jiao, the family is connected with each other, and the most of them are mainly marriages. ”
Cai Yong felt more and more dizzy at this time, and saw that Dong Zhuo was ghosted, but he still replied: "Hmm." ”
"The marriage of two different families has a blood connection after the offspring is born."
"Huh." Cai Yong chuckled and shook his drowsy head, "But the family marriage is just a bond, and the family relationship still depends on how the clan decides." ”
"There are not a few in-laws who turn against each other."
Dong Zhuo nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, patted his forehead, and exclaimed: "Yan'er is already of marriageable age, I actually forgot about it, I don't know if Yan'er's marriage has ever been decided?" ”
After saying that, Dong Zhuo glanced at Cai Yong without a trace.
Cai Yong heard Dong Zhuo talk about his daughter Cai Yan, swept his beard, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Ming Gong, Yong has already said the marriage for Yan'er, just wait for marriage." ”
"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo asked: "I don't know which talent you are talking about?" ”
Cai Yong said with a smile: "I'm talking about the son of the Hedong Wei family." ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, it was the Wei family in Hedong, and it should be Wei Zhongdao's sick seedling.
The Hedong Wei family is also a famous family in the Han Dynasty.
The most famous of his ancestors is the famous Wei Qing, and Wei Zifu, who was made the queen by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that after many years, the Wei family has lost its peak and has gradually declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even the declining Wei family is not comparable to the ordinary small family.
Dong Zhuo remembered that not long after Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao, her husband died of illness.
If it is said that he died of illness after getting married, it can only be said that Cai Yan was unlucky and unlucky.
But if Cai Yan was infected with the disease before Cai Yan got married, then the behavior of the Wei family is up for debate.
Thinking about it with good intentions, it may be because medicine is not developed enough nowadays, so the Wei family misestimated Wei Zhongdao's condition, which led to his death at a young age.
Think about it maliciously, whether it is the Wei family in order to cling to Cai Yong, the Shangshu, or to have a relationship with the Cai family, or with the help of Cai Yong's fame.
If you deliberately conceal the true situation for the benefit of the family, it is simply hateful!
When the wood was already in the boat, in the end, even if Cai Yong realized that something was wrong, the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and he was helpless.
Although it is common for widows to remarry nowadays, Cai Yong's identity must be more troublesome when he is placed there.
Now that Dong Zhuo knows that Wei Zhongdao is a short-lived ghost, he categorically has no possibility of letting Cai Yan marry him.
Besides, Cai Yan is now her own daughter-in-law!
It's just that the biggest problem now is that this kind of unpredictable prophet thing is not easy to explain to Cai Yong.
If it is not done well, it will definitely affect the relationship between himself and Cai Yong.
Dong Zhuo swept his beard, and finally decided to say something tentatively to Cai Yong.
"Uncle, how is Wei Zhongdao learning?"
"How's the character?"
"Can you be worthy of my family?"
Cai Yong smiled, "Zhong Ying has no worries, although the Hedong Weijia is not as prosperous as it used to be, it is also a hairpin, not to mention this talent and character." ”
"Oh." Dong Zhuo nodded, "Yan'er is erudite and talented, and ordinary people can't compare. ”
When Cai Yong heard this, he sighed lightly, "Alas, it's also to blame the old man, although it is a good thing to be erudite and talented, but it is always a daughter's family, if it is arrogant and arrogant, in the eyes of the husband's family, it will not be good." ”
When it comes to his daughter, Cai Yong is no longer the literary master, not the music and rhythm wizard, and no longer a scholar, Situ.
Just an old father who cares for his children.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, what you said, Yan'er has a well-behaved and lovely personality, how can she be a person who is arrogant and arrogant." ”
"Besides."
"At that time, on the day of Yan'er's marriage, I will accompany more dowry." "Don't be stingy."
"Hahahahaha." As he spoke, Dong Zhuo suddenly burst out laughing.
At this time, Cai Yong also showed a helpless smile on his face, because Dong Zhuo said that it made sense to accompany the dowry.
The cost of marriage in the Han Dynasty was quite staggering, because the amount of dowry and dowry was the economic, political, and social status of the families involved in the marriage.
After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty married, he used "20,000 catties of gold", in addition, there were a number of "wild goose, riding horses, and binding silk".
A little closer, Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Empress Liliang, also used 20,000 catties of gold.
There is a way to go up and down, and the emperors are like this, not to mention the children of the families below, famous families.
If you want to say "closer", it is Dong Zhuo.
Cai Yong's dowry when Dong Zhuo married his wife, 100 chariots, 20 horses, and slaves and maids filled the road.
A chariot is worth about 10,000 yuan, and the price of a horse is also about 10,000 yuan per horse; The minimum amount is 100,000 dollars.
A slave or maid is about 30,000 or 40,000 yuan per person.
Slaves and maids filled the roads with money and silk, and blocked the roads.
The reason why Dong Zhuo gave so many dowry gifts was naturally to show his identity, status, and financial resources.
And the same is true for Dong Zhuo to let Cai Yong give more dowry, the richer the dowry, the higher the natural value.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the dowry brought by the daughter's marriage belongs to the private property of the marrying person, and the man cannot use it privately without the consent of the marrying person.
This also reflects a very real problem, the so-called male superiority and inferiority of women are nonsense, and all relationships are relative.
Cai Yong smiled when he heard this, and said jokingly: "Yan'er's dowry for marrying the old husband will naturally not be less. ”
"I don't know how much dowry Zhong Ying, who is a father-in-law, makes?"
Dong Zhuo: ......
