Chapter 362: Dowry List

After getting the reply of the Sheng family, the Zhang family entered the palace, and the will to marry the next day went to the Sheng family.

At this time, the ancient marriage process begins.

Three books and six rites.

The three books are the letter of appointment, the letter of gift and the letter of welcome.

The six rites are Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting.

The six ceremonies are completed, which means that the ceremony of becoming a wife has been completed, and the next day the bride has to "pay tribute to her aunt", that is, to meet her in-laws, that is, the ceremony of becoming a wife.

Among the six ceremonies, He Tian only needs to come forward to greet in person, that is, to bring a welcome book to the door on the wedding day.

The rest of the links can only be pressed in the house by the British duke and couple.

The old father and the old mother said that they have been looking forward to such a son for so many years, and finally have the opportunity to support their son's marriage with their own hands.

In this regard, He Tian can only cry out in vain and happily be a shopkeeper.

On the day of the recruitment.

The British duchess rode a horse, the British duchess rode in a sedan chair, and the people of the duke's mansion carrying boxes of bride price behind them lined up in a long line, winding and circling, and passers-by could not even see the head of the line after a few street corners.

Everyone in the city of Tokyo watched a big buzz.

.......

Sending away the guests who came to eat and congratulate, Mingyue has quietly climbed the branches.

Sheng Hong and his wife dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard to rest.

Although they were exhausted, both of them were in good spirits.

The British couple personally came to the door to send them to the office, what a decent way this is!

Sheng Hong recalled today's grand scene, and remembered the scene of the Yuan family in Yangzhou at the beginning.

Compared with the two, Sheng Hong's heart is even more beautiful.

I think that back then, a down-and-out loyal and diligent Bofu could not take the Sheng family in his eyes, and said that the owner of the Bofu would come to send him off, but only the eldest son of the Yuan family came, and he almost made a joke.

And now, although he didn't mention it, the British couple went on such a trip in person, and their faces were bright!

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong grinned, and the body that was so angry with Mo Lan that he vomited blood and wanted to recuperate from illness some time ago seemed to have suddenly recovered to its peak.

I don't feel dizzy or dizzy, and I feel really fragrant when I eat today.

The lady Wang on the side was not much better, and her face was smiling.

But there was one more thing on her mind.

"Official, what about the dowry list sent by the Zhang family? I'd like to see it again."

"Yes, yes, Madame reminded me, I was too busy during the day, and I haven't had time to read the dowry list carefully." Sheng Hong patted his head and said.

Sheng Hong brought a dowry list, or it should be called a dowry booklet.

Because there were so many dowries, it took dozens of pages just to write down the name.

"After counting the days and days, the Zhang family sent eighty-eight dowry gifts, and His Majesty and the queen in the palace gave some dowries, and there were as many as sixteen dowries in total." Sheng Hong said as he flipped through the booklet.

Mrs. Wang leaned her head over, looked at the horizontal and vertical skimming on the booklet, and her eyes were dizzy.

"Ahem!"

Sheng Hong, who heard the cough, raised his head and saw the unnatural face of Mrs. Wang, and then remembered that this lady didn't know a few big words.

With a snicker in his heart, Sheng Hong lowered his head and read slowly:

"Three coral trees in the East China Sea."

"A pair of glass bottles."

"A pair of Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady".

「.....」

"Ten centennial ginseng."

"A pair of thousand-year-old He Shou Wu."

「......」

This thought was more than a quarter of an hour later, Sheng Hong's mouth was dry, and he finished reading the last page of "20,000 taels of gold".

Sheng Hong closed the booklet, picked up the tea that was already slightly cold next to him, and drank it all in winter.

Putting down the teacup, Sheng Hong exclaimed, "I thought that our Sheng family was already a wealthy family, and we didn't eat badly, but compared with a wealthy family like the Zhang family, it was still far behind.

It's just the Zhang family's appointment list, and there are many things on it that can't be bought with money. Today is a long day of insight."

As for the dowry given by His Majesty and the Queen, he didn't have to look through the dowry list.

It doesn't matter what is written on it.

To be rewarded by the most noble couple in the world is rare in this Tokyo city, and I don't know how many people envy it.

Your Majesty and the Queen love the house and Wu, and the Sheng family is also stained!

Mrs. Wang held her jaw that was about to fall off with her hand, and smacked her tongue and said, "I didn't see these good things when I was a girl in the Wang family."

As soon as she thought that these things would be her daughter's in the future, she was happy.

She didn't notice that Sheng Hong, who heard this, cast a disdainful look.

When Mrs. Wang was still alive, the Wang family was indeed beautiful, but the good times did not last long.

Mrs. Wang died young, and the descendants of the Wang family were not angry and failed to resist the decline of the Wang family.

When Wang Ruofu married into his Sheng family, although the power position of the Wang family was still much higher than that of the Sheng family, when it came to financial resources, it was not as good as the Sheng family.

Mrs. Wang's words seem to have many good things in the Wang family.

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong couldn't help but think of Wang Ruofu's sister-in-law, the Kang Wang family who married into the Kang family, it was not a thing.

Ahem, on a big day, I don't want these bastards.

Sheng Hong said: "The British have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and have captured countless trophies. He has made many meritorious contributions, whether it is the first emperor or the current majesty, there are many rewards, but they are all included in the treasury and not taken out to show off.

The Zhang family attaches so much importance to it, and we can't be rude.

These dowries sent by the Zhang family were added to the dowry list of Rulan and Minglan.

Also, Rulan's gift should be prepared, and as for Minglan's girl, she also prepared a copy according to Rulan's example.

Don't worry about money, I have already handed this good news letter to your hometown in Youyang.

My big brother is the best at running a business, and at this moment, the things sent from the big house are already on the way."

Mrs. Wang nodded again and again, and replied, "Everything is according to the orders of the lord."

Even if these good things are given to her, she will leave them to her children.

However, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Mrs. Wang is ready to go back and ponder again, pick and choose, she has to leave some good ones for Rulan.

The next one, let's give it to Minglan.

It's not that she didn't think about giving all this to Rulan, but Liu's mother reminded her.

"Although the British Mansion is purer than the Sheng family, it is a high-ranking family, and there are not too many guests to welcome and send it.

The sixth girl has a deep sisterhood with her, and she is the most calm and clever character, if she can help the fifth sister take care of the affairs of the house, it will be excellent.

If the eldest lady is kind to the sixth girl, she is grateful in her heart, and if she remembers the good of the eldest lady, then she will naturally repay the fifth sister."

Sheng Hong thought for a while and said, "We haven't been back to your hometown in Youyang for many years, and after a long time, it is inevitable that we will be a little alienated.

This time Ru'er and Ming'er's wedding, there will be people from the hometown, and my eldest brother will definitely come, but I don't know who else will be brought with him.

When the time comes, you have to bother more, don't snub them, don't let the people in your hometown think that we have forgotten our relatives when we climb the high branches."
