Chapter 52 The emperor's marriage to his wife is too expensive

On the third day of the first month of March, auspicious, it is advisable to marry, the palace door is wide open early in the morning, the palace is full of lights, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive at the Ministry of Rites to set up a battle and beat gongs and drums to go to the Yuan Mansion to hire, the people in the city are out early to occupy a favorable position, the Son of Heaven is hired, some people have never had the opportunity to see such a grand occasion in their lives, they must have a look!

The dowry is prepared according to the highest specifications, 20,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, all kinds of gold and silver utensils are even numbers, there are 10 jade items, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the lonely book room add up to more than 20 lifts, and there are 1,000 brocades, 66 horses and 24 pairs of high-quality saddles, and the rest of the various objects are also sent together.

"I've never seen so many treasures in my life, and it's enough to see this at a glance."

The onlookers saw those dowry gifts that couldn't be described with smacking their tongues, many, too much, "I heard that there are 20,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, my God, why is the emperor's family so rich, what kind of life is this?" ”

"I must have slept on the bed made of gold, you look at those brocades, heavens, how many have been lifted in the past, and each lift is stuffed to the brim, how much does this have to be, and the queen mother can't wear it all in her life, right?"

"How much silver do you think these things are worth?"

Everyone shook their heads, they didn't know but Wen Mianmian knew, and last night he took Hua Xiurui's hand and said bitterly: "Son, you must be good to others when you marry back, don't you know well, marrying this daughter-in-law has cost a lot of money, do you know how much you can accomplish with the money spent?" ”

"My mother told you that even if you are the emperor, you can't easily marry a second daughter-in-law."

This is just this time of the dowry, there have been several small gifts before, each time it is burning money, in addition to the dowry, there are also large additional expenses, such as the envoys of various countries come to eat, drink and Lazar, all silver, burn money, too much money!

Hua Xiaoer was holding the abacus for a while, Liu Kuoyuan was writing and painting on a plate, and then whispered to her that if the bride price silver for marrying this daughter-in-law was converted into the tickets they had used before, it would be more than 1.2 billion, just the bride price, not including those gold, silver and jade, unique calligraphy and paintings, etc., it would be an astronomical amount.

At that time, she couldn't help but gasp when she heard this number, although most of it was allocated by the treasury, but she also made a lot of money, and this son raised it, and it was a complete loss.

And the most important thing is that the dowry of the Yuan family's dowry is also purchased in the palace, Yuan Jingjing entered the palace as the queen, her dowry regulations are many, and a considerable part of the Yuan family is not qualified to buy, even if it is purchased, it may not meet the requirements, such as the queen's regulations should be jewelry, clothing, etc., each of which pursues gorgeous, either inlaid with gems or inlaid with pearls, the whole set of dowry is as many as five hundred and sixty items, and they are all even numbers, which are purchased by the Ministry of Rites.

Because he spent too much money at once, Wen Mianmian also took out 200,000 taels of silver to subsidize it.

Thinking that there are two sons waiting for her to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, she suddenly feels that her purse hurts, and she wants to pay for her daughter-in-law who has spent such a lot of money to marry.

She is used to seeing mountains of gold and silver, she feels pain, you can imagine what kind of psychology those people are, if it weren't for the strict guards, they would want to risk their lives to rob it.

"It can be seen that I am rich in Dongshu, and the court has silver."

Someone suddenly came to such a sentence, and the people began to make up for it, what King Annan turned out to be rich and famous, what the court has been in good weather in recent years, and God blessed Dongshu Yunyun, they all began to paralyze themselves and comfort themselves.

There are also adults in the heart of the bleeding, or they have to rush to send their daughters to be queens, just this row of appointments is enough to go down in history, you must know that those dowry gifts do not need to be returned, they are theirs, and even the dowry silver does not need to be paid, it can be said that she became a queen without spending a penny, and since then the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, hey~~~

The girls also bit their mouths one after another, envy and jealousy to the point that their hearts were dripping blood.

Outside the gate of the Yuan Mansion stood full of students and gentlemen from all over the place, one by one, when the drum music sounded, they all looked up, and today went out for Hua Xiurui to hire Hua Jingchang in addition to the Ministry of Rites, Hua Jingchang is not only the prince, but also the emperor's uncle, he came to send the appointment to the Yuan Mansion respect.

The Yuan family stood in two rows to greet them, Wen Mianmian specially ordered them to stand and receive the dowry, and waited until the queen's treasure was handed over to Yuan Jingjing's hands.

The ceremonial officer sang the dowry list, listening to those things with a 'copper smell', these readers were indifferent no matter what they thought in their hearts, when they heard who and whose lone book, who and whose danqing, their eyes lit up, and when they learned that there were one or twenty in the lone album, they all showed praise on their faces, and felt that the emperor's dowry list had these in order not to insult the reputation of the old man.

Some people in the Yuan family even silently calculated in their hearts how much silver the emperor spent to marry the girl of their family, but unfortunately even used their toes, and they couldn't figure it out at all, they only knew that their Yuan family would be rich from then on.

It can be said that once rich!

Ah, I have to work hard for the emperor in the future.

The next thing is that the Yuan family sent a dowry, and the people in the city were envious again, and learned that these dowries were purchased by the imperial court, and their eyes were red with envy, or how to say that the queen was noble, and the marriage did not need to be prepared at home, and the man's family was properly arranged.

It took six days of hard work for the dowry to be carried into the palace, and during this period, the envoys of various countries were also ruthlessly eye-opening, especially those who were weaker, thinking that if the silver spent by His Majesty the Emperor Dongshu to marry his wife was given to them, their country would be much stronger, and they could raise thousands more soldiers and buy a lot of horses.

It's enough~

"When this monstrous water is released, my heart is suddenly relaxed?"

After the dowry is given, the dowry is also here, and the matter of giving out the silver is over, Wen Mianmian is relieved, Hua Xiaoer frowned, and said that getting married is the most unprofitable deal, "The dowry is not returned, the dowry is also the girl's family, and it is not a penny, and in the end, it is a person, why should you get married?" ”

He said he didn't understand, he didn't understand it very much.

turned his head and began to think about how to quickly earn back the money that his brother and sister-in-law spent, the family had so little money, and he was uncomfortable if he didn't fill it up.

As for the third child, he has already looked at his sister-in-law's dowry, saying that there are a lot of bright crystals, he wants to touch them, after his second brother's tireless spiritual baptism of his soul, he will no longer see Liangjingjing and want to take it for himself, just appreciate Meizizi.

In the face of these two sons, the old mother expressed helplessness, and was ready to go back and count the property in the house, thinking about how to divide it, four brothers and sisters, and the silver could not be used by Xiu Rui alone.

Importantly, she also wanted to know how much money she still had in the house.
