Chapter 169: Dowry

On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, early in the morning, the curfew had just been lifted, and Chu Tiankuo arranged for Chu Mufeng to watch and pull the finished furniture from his own house to Jiang Zhixia's house.

After finishing lifting the furniture, Chu Mufeng was about to leave. Because Jiang Zhixia didn't even have a man to send her relatives, Chu Mufeng was sent to Jiang Zhixia's side as her family's relatives.

Therefore, Chu Mufeng, who has always laughed at himself as a rough person, was caught by the matchmaker to make up for various customs. So it's a real headache and a lot of busy.

Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Mufeng who was in a hurry to leave, and hurriedly said while holding the purse containing the silver ticket: "Mrs. Jiang told me about some rules for getting married. This furniture should be made by me. for it shall be written in my dowry book as a dowry. It's really too much time, so I used the new furniture made by Brother Chu, you can take this silver ticket and give it to Brother Chu. ”

"I won't take it." Chu Mufeng suddenly took two steps back and said.

"Big brother guessed it. He said you're going to have to pay for the furniture, so I don't want to take it. If he said he would take it, he would break my leg. Don't hurt me. ”

Chu Mufeng made a very frightened look. After that, he slipped away----- he had to try on new clothes.

When Jiang Zhixia saw this situation, he had no choice but to put away his purse, thinking that he would wait until he got married.

In the afternoon, the eldest princess of Chengping sent some jewelry and cloth, and added three dowries to Jiang Zhixia with great fanfare.

Jiang Zhixia expressed his gratitude and waited for the dowry to be paid on the second day.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, it was time to pay the dowry.

Jiang Zhixia himself did not have female relatives to accompany him to give the dowry, so he was tired of Mrs. Lin as his own relatives.

In the morning, according to the calculated day, Chu Mufeng took the family members of General Lin's Mansion who came to help carry the dowry, and they were ready to go out.

Jiang Zhixia didn't want to be too public, so he originally planned to simply prepare a half-raised dowry, and thirty-two would be fine.

However, Chu Tiankuo disagreed and wanted to give her a dowry.

In desperation, Jiang Zhixia had no choice but to set a full dowry, a total of sixty-four dowry. But Chu Tiankuo was not allowed to interfere again.

It was almost prepared, but later there was the dowry from the eldest princess, plus the furniture sent by Chu Tiankuo, but it was really full of sixty-four lifts.

The first three lifts are the dowries such as jewelry and silk cloth given by the eldest princess, in order to show respect for the eldest princess.

The one behind is what Jiang Zhixia prepared by himself.

The fourth is Uncle He's family wearing brand-new cyan satin clothes, Xing Zhuangtou's father and daughter, and the five newly bought subordinates.

The mighty four men and six women, ten people at the beginning, at first glance, are the subordinates who accompany the marriage, which is regarded as a lift.

As soon as the subordinate of this color came out, the neighbors who were watching in the alley boiled.

"I heard that the eldest princess of Chengping gave three dowries."

"It's the first three lifts. The sign reads the reward of the eldest princess of Chengping. I heard that the phoenix crown and xia veil that Miss Jiang wants to wear when she gets married are all made in the palace. ”

"Not only that, I heard that the Quanfu person who combed her hair is the eldest lady of the eldest princess's mansion. That's a well-known and valuable Quanfu person. ”

"Miss Jiang actually has so many companions? They were all dressed in satin. ”

"I always thought it was only Uncle He's family and the new girl."

"Not to mention anything else, just raising so many subordinates, this Jiang girl is also amazing."

Everyone whispered enviously.

In the midst of the discussion, the dowry was lifted out of the gate of Jiang Zhixia's house. Someone began to count the dowry carefully.

What kind of offspring buckets, what kinds of furniture of rosewood, what jewelry, what silk and satin, what coats and coats, what pots and pans.

"Look at the furniture, it's all of the finest rosewood." Some people said sourly.

"Look at the lift, the sedan chair man's flat shoulder is bent, it seems that there are really a lot."

"Oh, look at the dowry. Is that... ”

Someone shouted in surprise when they saw the adobe wrapped in red paper.

So, everyone turned their eyes to it and counted them one by one.

"Oh, that's ten adobes. One piece of adobe is a hundred acres of land, and these ten pieces of adobe are a thousand acres of land... ”

"This Jiang girl's dowry is really rich."

When everyone saw the land of the dowry, they all started talking.

Nowadays, with land, it is fundamental. Not to mention so much land.

"Here it is again, here it is...

Someone shouted in surprise again, and then everyone counted them carefully.

"Hey, I see such a big deal from a big official on weekdays. I'll see you in our own alley today. ”

"That's ... Four lifting tiles. There is also a covered one, which is a shop. The tiles of this shop are twelve, which is a big shop. This six-tile house is probably this house. There are two more lifts. ”

"I counted the two, one is twenty-four, and the other is more than twenty-four, I don't know how many rooms there are. It must be a huge house. ”

In today's dowry, land and houses are extremely valuable. Therefore, it is no wonder that everyone is envious.

"I don't know how much the money is?"

"Look at such a big spend, I guess it's indispensable, right?"

While looking at the dowry, everyone couldn't help but discuss it hotly.

The sedan chair man who carried the money in the box couldn't help but guess how many silver tickets were in the makeup box inside.

Chu Mufeng, who was watching the money next to him, had a proud look on his face.

"Son, if you had married Miss Jiang in the first place, these would have been yours."

Standing in front of the door and watching the lively Aunt Li, she couldn't help it, and she didn't care about her daughter-in-law standing next to her, and said to Wei Zhuxian secretly.

"Don't you want to see if people can look down on your family?"

Wei Zhuxian's wife is now almost torn face with Aunt Li. When she heard this, she said mockingly.

She can be regarded as understanding that this husband is a person who obeys his mother's orders. On the contrary, there are always a lot of big truths to restrain her. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant and unwilling to have a child, she would have mentioned and divorced a long time ago.

Anyway, she has a rich dowry, and she has no problem supporting herself and her children, so she tears her face.

Wei Zhuxian's face was gloomy and he looked at it without saying a word.

Jiang Zhixia's dowry was sent to Chu Tiankuo's house. Chu Tiankuo took the dowry list and inspected the dowry meaningfully.

Originally, according to the rules, the woman's family should leave a close person, looking at the dowry, especially the money box of the press, and the province was lost.

You know, the most important thing is what is in the box of money. Those dowry tickets, those house deeds, title deeds. Those bonus documents, as well as the deed of the next person and other very important documents are packed in the box of money.

However, Jiang Zhixia believed in Chu Tiankuo very much, so he only left the dowry, and the dowry was withdrawn.

In addition to putting the silver tickets and various deeds in the pressure box, Chu Tiankuo put them separately.

For the rest of the dowry, he arranged for his henchmen to guard it, and then opened the lid of the dowry and let others watch.

It is for the dowry.

After finishing the work, Chu Tiankuo took the matchmaker with the dowry list, went to the matchmaker in the official office to keep the bottom and receive the marriage certificate.

The marriage certificate and dowry list were all in triplicate, one was in Chu Tiankuo's hand, one was in Jiang Zhixia's hand, and one was in the official office.

With the blessing of the government, the interests of women can be better protected.

After coming back, Chu Tiankuo first put away his marriage book. He looked at Jiang Zhixia's marriage book, hesitated for a while, and put it in Jiang Zhixia's money box. Wait until Jiang Zhixia passes through the door, and then hand it over to her.

In this way, everything is ready, just waiting for the kiss.
