Chapter 280: Everyone is happy
A complete set of diamond ornaments was specially prepared, as well as a horse-faced skirt, and the top double-sided embroidered palace fan as a gift.
There are also some valuable gifts such as the best liquor, tea, etc.
This time it is no less than 100,000 taels, and the entire wedding cannot be paid without 500,000 silver.
Even so, the Duchess still wanted to provoke a thorn, and was pressed by the Duke of Zhen Guo and the old Duke of Zhenguo, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to be a demon.
On the day of the engagement, Zhen Guogong's family also came to the scene with a lot of relatives and friends, seeing that the man was so sincere, with gifts no one can compare, what else can he say? It's just a slap in the face.
The sarcasm and sarcasm that came to the mouth have all turned into envy, this is the charm of money.
Besides, Feng'er's current identity is also very handy, not to mention the nouveau riche in the court, he looks good, Yushu is in the wind, he is already a four-rank military general at a young age, if the Zhenguo family can't look down on it, some people can look at it.
Besides, isn't there still the father of the Yuan family, who dares to look down on it?
The proposal went very smoothly, and the Zhenguo family was very satisfied!
Subsequently, Yuan Jiaqi invited the Zhenguo family to the new house as guests, and said that they would discuss the dowry and the wedding day on that day.
Zhen Guogong's family happily agreed, and on September 21, the whole family came to visit.
When they saw that it was this house, they were all stunned.
"This is a new purchase from your family?"
"Yes,"
"This house is not cheap, it is one of the best in the capital."
"It's just a matter of silver, the houses of the nobles of the kings and grandsons are built, and they won't come down without ten million taels." Qiao Mai only replied lightly.
Although Yuan Jiaqi visited his home once, this time when he took Zhen Guogong to visit again, he was still able to be amazed a little.
But when Zhen Guogong's family saw it, they were very shocked, and many of them had never even seen it.
For example, high-tech pressure wells, such as toilets, bathrooms, playgrounds, martial arts fields, and back gardens have all kinds of small animals.
Especially the three sheep in Jixiangyuan, eh, this is Qiao Mai bought again from the platform, and the three sheep in the family did not move.
It simply refreshed their three views, what kind of sheep is this?
It's so cute, so cute, and it's very spiritual, floating around like three white clouds, they like it so much.
Even the Duchess couldn't help but take a few more looks, and the family of the Duke of Zhen was dumbfounded just like the old hat entering the city.
Miss Mu is happy in her heart, if she marries here, she doesn't know how comfortable she will live in the future, which is better than the house in Tianshui Town.
Zhenguo Gong is in his forties, and the Yuan family is only in his early thirties, and the two in-laws walk together, one is majestic and the other is gentle and elegant.
It looks very harmonious, and it is very reasonable to talk.
Zhen Guogong's family, except for Mrs. Guogong, is very satisfied with her son-in-law's family.
Qiao Mai also said at the right time, "They got married here, my family doesn't have so many rules, after Miss Mu marries here, she is the sister-in-law of the younger generation, and she will be in charge of the house in the future and help me share the housework." ”
The ancients were like this, as soon as they heard that their daughters could be in charge of the house as soon as they entered the door, it meant that the in-laws looked down on their daughters and were very happy.
Only the Duchess of Guo rolled her eyes disdainfully, she was taboo against Qiao Mai, so she naturally didn't dare to say it too explicitly, but she was still dissatisfied with the meaning of her words.
"How good do you think the head of the family is, don't talk about a cow when you're tired, and you don't want to be seen yet, it's better to have a good child, and give birth to a few more children for your husband's family, that's the right thing."
Qiao Mai smiled, "There are not so many rules in my family, Miss Mu wants to give birth, it is best to give birth, we won't say anything if we don't give birth, the biological ones are not necessarily filial, but there are many filial ones who are not biological ones." ”
"Hmph, strong words are reasonable."
"There are many examples in the capital, why don't I point to the Duchess of Guo?"
Zhen Guogong glared at his wife, and the old Guogong also coughed lightly, so Mrs. Guogong did not continue to quarrel.
At noon, everyone sat in the restaurant to eat, looking at a table of food full of color and flavor.
The food of the Qiao family is really not bragged, and the emperor's imperial kitchen may not have this table of delicious food.
The old man accompanied the old man, the old lady accompanied the old duchess, the Yuan family accompanied the town duke, and Qiao Mai naturally accompanied the duchess of the country.
She didn't care about Qiao Mai, Qiao Mai naturally wouldn't have nothing to say, but at the dinner table, Qiao Mai, who was pouring food and wine, didn't fall behind, and the etiquette was quite thoughtful.
Although the Duchess was not satisfied with this family business, she was still satisfied with the house and the food of the Qiao family.
The two families also booked the date of employment at the dinner table, and on the eighth day of October, as soon as they heard that one hundred and twenty dowry gifts had been prepared, Zhen Guogong immediately laughed.
"Don't worry, how much dowry your family gives, my family will give as much dowry, we are just a girl, so naturally we can't be treated badly."
"Is it good to set the day of marriage on the sixth day of May next year? The children are all older, and we can all rest assured that we will start a family early. ”
"Then on the sixth day of the fifth month, it's easy for us to talk here."
The children were just listening, Miss Mu glanced at Feng'er, and squeezed her eyes at him boldly, Feng'er blushed and lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at her again.
Full of wine and food, the two families were in good spirits, and proposed to see the dowry, and Feng'er immediately took them to his own Tingfeng Pavilion.
After seeing the dowry, the Zhenguo family was shocked again, which lift is very exquisite and luxurious, and it seems that people have also put a lot of effort into the dowry.
One hundred and twenty lifts, pieces of fine products, including two boxes of 100-year-old ginseng and two boxes of 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, all of which are 500 years old, each box is ten sticks, and one box is worth tens of thousands of taels.
This is also too much to look up to their daughter, this in-law is doing well, doing too well.
It seems that after going back, they still have to make a slight adjustment in the dowry, otherwise they will lose the adult.
He is a national family, and he is not as good as a first-class family.
On this day, everyone is happy!
When the emperor heard about this, he frowned and immediately called Jin Longwei.
"What's going on with the Ministry of Scholars?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know?"
"I have so many things every day, how can I remember them all?"
"Lord Yuan is upside down, he has no property, his daughter-in-law earned, because he saved the life of the Wang family's son, so the Wang family will give her dividends every year, her own shop also has a lot of profits a year, Shexian also opened a big workshop, starting from next year, more and more money every year, naturally his daughter-in-law is not bad for money."
"Well, that's good, I'm still thinking about the gifts he received from others when he took office."
"Lord Yuan is a good official, when he was in Shexian County, he took his daughter-in-law's silver to help the people, and his daughter-in-law bought the wasteland that no one wanted and planted trees, of which thousands of manpower alone were used to solve the poor life of some of the people in Shexian County."
"Well, I remember this, I hope he will always keep his original intention, otherwise I will not be polite to him, and you will keep a good watch on the important ministers of the court."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Qiao Mai set up the family affairs of the wind, his heart was relieved, and since he moved to a new home, the old man and the old lady have been happy every day.
She gave the courtyard of the three brothers of Fengyunchuan two small servants, five rough men, and blue men.
I didn't let any girls wait in front of me, and when they marry their daughters-in-law in the future, they will naturally bring them in, and they usually have to have someone around to call them.
Of course, she also has a small servant by Yuan Jiaqi's side, not only equipped with these, but he also has a carriage that specially transports him up and down.
Zhen Guogong's side was very happy about this family business, so he specially sent six warriors over to escort Yuan Jiaqi and protect Jixiangyuan at night.
In fact, he didn't send it, Qiao Mai also considered it, although the capital is prosperous, but it is also chaotic, the Yuan family does not know martial arts, every day in the court, go out to socialize, and have someone around to protect him.
Just when I fell asleep, someone sent a pillow, and Qiao Mai helped Yuan Jiaqi accept it.
