The marriage of the Great Sui also pays attention to the bride price, and this custom has really been inherited for too long in China.

The bride price prepared by ordinary people can be a bucket of rice, a few pieces of cloth, a sheep or a basket of fruits, not too much, after all, the status of women in ancient times was not high, it is a fact.

The scholar class is much richer, but the main things are still inseparable from food and clothing, that is, food and cloth, and the rest are appropriately added according to conditions, such as jewelry, chariots and horses, livestock and furniture, etc.

At the level of Yang Yin, the bride price is not simple.

First of all, the marriage of the aristocratic class is a must, and the woman's background is also a carefully selected daughter of a wealthy family, and her mother's side will give her husband's family a great boost, so you should prepare more dowry, and you will not lose.

Moreover, the royal family has to be face-saving, regardless of the prince and the king, there is a unified standard for the bride price.

Yang Yong is about to get married, but the steps are more cumbersome.

The first step is called Nacai, that is, the man wants to invite a matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and then choose an auspicious day.

Yang Guang married Concubine Xiao that year, and the matchmaker in the middle was Gao Gong, and the matchmaker of the eldest son Yang Zhao was one of the four nobles of the early Sui Dynasty who was killed the year before last, and Yu Qingze, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom.

This time, the matchmaker I found for the second Yang Jian is interesting.

The qualifications are not high, and the prestige is almost meaningless, Yuan Xiaoze, the governor of Jiangling, is the eldest brother of Yuan Xiaoju, the father of the crown princess Yuan Zhen, and a descendant of the Northern Wei royal family.

After Yang Ming learned the news, he was also quite surprised, although the crown princess Yuan was gone, but was Yuan Valve won over by his father so quickly?

This trick is really poisonous.

Yang Yong knew that he would vomit blood in the future.

But it's normal to think about it, the Yuan Concubine has died, and there are no heirs, and the Yuan family has no connection with the Prince's Mansion.

Don't underestimate the door valve, when the world is peaceful, these people can still be honest, and when the world is in chaos, these people can do anything.

After Yuan Xiao came to the door, he chose an auspicious day, and then did the second step of "asking for a name".

Asking the name is to ask the woman's birthday, and then take it to match with the man's to see if it is suitable.

Yang Guang's marriage with the Lanling Xiao clan was stuck at the step of asking for the name, because the Lanling Xiao clan took out all the eight characters of the school-age women in the clan, and none of them could match Yang Guang's eight characters.

But why did you marry Concubine Xiao in the end?

Concubine Xiao was originally the daughter of Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang Xiaoming, and her mother was Empress Zhang, the authentic princess, but she was born in February.

Later, I really couldn't find someone who could match Yang Guang, so I welcomed Concubine Xiao back, and when I looked at the eight characters, yo, a match made in heaven!

And this time, it was Zhang Xuanxuan, the secretary of the province, who showed Yang Xuan the eight characters.

This person is the master of mathematics of the Great Sui, who has been revising the calendar for the Great Sui, and his master is a figure who has made great contributions to the field of mathematics in China and even in the world: Zu Chongzhi.

Arithmetic is his specialty, and divination is his hobby.

Whether Yang Jun and Wei Qiong are worthy or not, in fact, they are just going through the motions, do you really dare to say that they are not worthy?

A match made in heaven, of course!

Then the third step is Najib, that is, the dowry.

At this time, it was Yang Zhao and Yang Ming's turn to come out.

The two of them changed into festive clothes and rode tall horses, followed by a full thirty-six carriages.

The carriage was full of dowry gifts, gold and silver jewelry, bronze and iron tools, colorful silk and so on.

In addition, there are 1,000 cows, horses, sheep and livestock from outside the city, as well as two pairs of auspicious deer, and two males and females are hung with red silk.

The team to welcome relatives was huge, with a total of 2,000 people, and went to Wei Mansion to be hired.

Jingzhao Webster, a wealthy family,

It originated in Cao Wei and flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Wei Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came from Wei Xiong, the prince of Xiaoyao County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, Wei Xiaokuan's younger brother.

When Wei Chong's eldest brother Wei Shikang was alive, he was deeply respected by Yang Jian, and served as the governor of Jingzhou, one of the four major governors of the Great Sui.

The second brother Wei Wei (Guang) has also passed away, and he was given the title of Duke of Weiguo County.

The third brother Wei Guan died earlier, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and served as the assassin of Sui Prefecture in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The fourth brother, Wei Yi, passed away five years ago, was the governor of Yingzhou, and was given the title of Duke of Weixing County.

The fifth in line is Wei Chong.

The sixth Wei You, who was the crown prince for Yang Yong, was kicked by Yang Yong if he didn't do a good job, and now he is idle at home, and he has the title of Duke of Guancheng County.

It can be seen that their team was infinitely beautiful more than ten years ago, relying on the boss Wei Shikang, but now it is already going downhill, but fortunately, Wei Xiaokuan's branch is still quite supportive, and they Jingzhaowei are relatively united, and everyone is doing well under mutual benefit and mutual assistance.

In any case, this is also a wealthy valve, even if there is a trough period, it is much stronger than those ordinary gate valves.

What's more, isn't Wei Chong also up now? The Ministry of Civil Affairs is still the book, and he is an absolute official.

Wei Mansion is really lively these days, and the door is a true portrayal of Wei Mansion at present.

Officials in Daxing will basically come to congratulate, firstly, Webster's base camp is the Jingzhao area, which has a strong and deep-rooted heritage, and secondly, it is to marry a daughter into the royal family, and everyone will give face.

Yang Zhao and Yang Ming were still discussing on the road, how could they find a way to meet their future younger siblings (second sister-in-law) and see what she looked like.

Because these days, the second child Yang Yong's most heartfelt thing at home is to hope that his future princess will not be too ugly.

Yes, he didn't expect the other party to be as beautiful as Pei Shuying, if it was really beautiful, his Tanhualang Xiaobao would have heard it a long time ago.

Yang Ming believes that the future second sister-in-law has not yet left the cabinet, and now she has made a marriage, it should be impossible for her to meet here.

Yang Zhao said that this marriage was set by the two saints, and Yang Huan's little courage would not even let out a fart even if he was not satisfied, as for the appearance of the bride, it is easy to say, look at Wei Chong's appearance, and then look at the appearance of Wei Chong's other children, you can have a rough judgment.

Yang Ming agreed.

Greeting Yang Zhao and Yang Ming outside the mansion gate turned out to be Wei Yuancheng, this kid was supposed to succeed Zhao Xuan as the assassin of Jizhou, but he hasn't left yet.

And he was recommended by Yang Zhao to Yang Jian and his wife.

Who are Yang Jian and his wife, they have already informed Wei Yuancheng in private, so this kid knows who his benefactor is.

As soon as he saw Yang Zhao, his face was smiling, and he ran over to lead the horse in person.

"Your Highness is hard, Your Highness is tired, please enter the mansion quickly."

A group of Wei clan people surrounded Yang Ming and the others into the inner mansion, and as for the dowry, naturally the housekeeper Chu Ji handed over to them.

Today is Najib, and the Yang Ming brothers are the number one distinguished guests, and they are also the first to sit on the left side of the head of the family Wei Chong during the banquet.

Wei Chong looked at his age and was in his forties, looking like a rich man, and his face was naturally full of spring when he was happy, plus he had drunk a lot of wine, and his face was as red as Guan Gong.

When he was in his forties, he entered Shangshu Province and became the leader of the first department, which will have a bright future in the future.

Wei Chong naturally knew in his heart that if it weren't for his daughter to marry into the Jin Palace, it would not be his turn to be the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in terms of seniority.

Everyone's focus was almost on Yang Zhao, and Yang Ming's ears were about to become calloused.

So he moved his seat and came to Wei Yuancheng's side:

"Yun Guogong."

"......" Wei Yuancheng hurriedly came over: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Yang Ming said: "In the future, our two families will be in-laws, so naturally we should be closer to each other." ”

"That's that, it's an honor for everyone in the Wei Mansion," Wei Yuancheng laughed.

Yang Ming smiled, moved his gaze to the opposite side, and then said:

"Who's the brown man sitting over there? And the bearded guy next door to him? By the way, there's that boy ......."
