The dowry like flowing water was sent to the Jiang Mansion.

According to the law of the Great Qi, the royal wife gave the woman two thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand horses of silk, twenty pieces of jade, one hundred pieces of gold, one hundred pieces of silverware, four handles of jade Ruyi, a pair of dragons and phoenixes and a pair of auspicious gold and jade silver plates, one Huangzhuang, and twenty horses.

and a number of calligraphy and paintings, cakes and fruits, a number of wine and tea cakes, a number of cattle and sheep. And the emperor, and the makeup added by the ladies of the palace, there are 98 dowry gifts sent to the Jiang Mansion.

The dowry procession was vast, the attendants wore red and green, and the dowry was sent to Jiang's mansion like a stream.

Mrs. Jiang took her daughter-in-law, the county lord of Deyang, who came to help, and the four Quanfu wives, who were busy arranging the dowry, and their feet did not touch the ground.

Zhao Guangyuan followed the hiring team to Jiang's house, and Jiang Xiang's father and son were entertained in the main hall as the woman's relatives. And Jiang Wentao, as the head of the Yue Wang's Mansion, had to help the Yue King read the dowry list to the woman.

This strange combination amused the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

"Thank you for taking the time to come to watch the ceremony, eight days later, the king will get married, and please go to the Yue Wangfu to drink a glass of water and wine."

"Thank you for the invitation, I'll go and ask for a glass of water and wine."

In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the great eunuch Liu Qi, who was next to Emperor Zheng, also came. The guests watched him go about his business, their eyes twinkled.

Liu Qi is a celebrity around the emperor, if he doesn't have the emperor's orders, he dares to leave the palace?

In the end, it is the concubine of the Empress Yuan, it seems that King Yue still has a certain weight in the emperor's heart. previously thought that the emperor ignored King Yue, and it was inevitable to rethink the relationship between the father and son.

And now that King Yue has entered the court to listen to the government, it seems that the emperor's attitude towards King Yue has softened a lot.

In the end, it is biological blood. can take a look at it, ten years ago, the emperor didn't even let go of his grandson who was a few months old, and he couldn't help but tremble again, don't compare the royal father and son with the father and son of ordinary people, it can't be compared.

The female guests who came to watch the ceremony still had a lot of disdain for Princess Yue, a folk girl. But after seeing that the emperor actually sent Liu Qi's father-in-law to send him to the appointment, he didn't dare to say more.

The emperor attaches so much importance to this folk princess, what else can they say. After a few days, people turned over and became the princess, except for the queen, no one could let her salute, they dared to say something about her identity?

Looking at today's flowing dowry, I originally said in my heart that she would marry a prince who couldn't give birth, and she had the name of a princess, so she shut up and didn't speak.

What's more, this folk princess has the love of King Yue, and now the emperor also values it, and she will live a good life in the future. Look at them again, who is not glamorous on the outside and chicken feathers on the inside?

Some people still envy this folk princess.

Lin Zhaoxia was accompanied by Deyang and a group of royal relatives, princesses, county lords and others in Qixia Courtyard, and did not go outside to see the excitement.

Listening to the maids talking about the dowry more or less, what was given, I smashed my tongue, this royal bride is really magnificent. How many people are married?

Looking at the house again, it is full of royal relatives and nobles, each more expensive than the other.

This is also the first time that Lin Zhaoxia has had such close contact with these royal relatives and nobles except for Deyang, and of course, it is the first time that these royal relatives and nobles have looked at King Yue, the folk princess, so closely.

Emperor Zhizheng has nine princesses, and four of them are married, and they are all here today, and they all come to add makeup.

The eldest Princess Zhaohua is one year older than Zhao Guangyuan, born by Concubine Liu Gui, and has the same mother as King Jin, and today she brought her younger sister-in-law Princess Jin and a group of princesses to add makeup.

Princess Zhaohua looks very similar to Concubine Liu Guifei, because she is the first princess, she has been very loved by Emperor Zheng since she was born, and the husband she chose for her is also the Dingguo Mansion of a famous meritorious family, and she is married to Zhanchi, the second son of Dingguo Gong.

Princess Zhaohua has given birth to two daughters and a son over the years, and there are no other women in the backyard of the concubine, so she lives quite comfortably.

There is a bit of majesty on the face. A group of royal sisters also faintly led her.

"The seventh brother and sister heard that they are only two years younger than me, which is really invisible." Princess Zhaohua, dressed in brocade clothes and luxurious, sat in the flower hall of Qixia Courtyard and looked at Lin Zhaoxia.

The eldest princess's wanton gaze made Lin Zhaoxia a little uncomfortable, but she was a modern person, and she didn't have the fear of ordinary people for imperial power, so she didn't have the concept of three, six, nine, and so on.

"yes, but I don't see it at all. I'm a half-old, compared with Princess Zhaohua, just like the light and dust, in front of the princess, I am overshadowed and can't look at it. ”

Lin Zhaoxia doesn't have any honorific or disrespectful words, Kong Wei and the two grandmothers have taught her for so many days, and she is still used to me coming and going, and she can't change it. Thinking that she was the princess anyway, few people could jump over her, and if she could use honorifics, Kong Wei and the two grandmothers did not correct her.

After Lin Zhaoxia finished speaking, the eyes of the royal ladies in the house fell on her.

The words of the eldest princess actually implied that she was old and flew on the branches as a phoenix. But this woman from the folk didn't seem to hear it at all, and she was willing to depreciate herself, saying that she was a half-old.

Half-aged never say they are half-aged. But she didn't care at all.

In front of a room full of noble girls, he didn't show any timidity. Is it because you are going to marry King Yue? The courage that King Yue gave her?

It's not the courage given by King Yue, nor the courage given by the surname Liang, it's Lin Zhaoxia, as a modern person, who has no dignity and humility in his heart, three, six, nine, and so on.

Besides, others like to say hi and laugh at themselves, if you can make others happy, less pressure on yourself, others are happy, and you are happy, why not?

Why bother. A pound of meat is indispensable. Lin Zhaoxia doesn't care about any face or shame anyway.

The eldest princess was a little confused about the routine of this surnamed Lin.

Identity suppresses her, she is the same as she can't understand, and words are suppressed, she is also like she can't understand.

thought that she would be ashamed of herself, marrying King Yue at such an age, and letting King Yue give up so many young noblewomen, and she was not afraid of others saying that she didn't know how to lift. Now I see so many high-ranking and young noblewomen, I think she will be so frightened that she can't even speak.

But where did this down-and-out and generous, self-confidence, come from?

"You have waited for my seventh brother for so many years, so you are not worried that if he returns to Beijing, he will lose his trust, and he will not take you back to Beijing, or only let you be a concubine?"

"Well, what's there to worry about. Although I am married to a man and dressed and eaten, it is not that I have no hands or feet to support myself. It's impossible to be a concubine, it's nothing if you don't marry, you can always live your life. Besides, I believe in King Yue. ”

Princess Zhaohua didn't understand where her confidence came from.

In the words, it means that if you can marry the king of Yue, you will marry, and if you don't marry, it's nothing? It's like I didn't take the royal family into account. Others can't climb it, and she still disdains it? Do you think that King Yue can't have children, so it's dispensable for this family business?

Princess Zhaohua frowned. King Yue can't have another child, that's not something ordinary people can imagine.

Princess Zhaohua didn't talk to Lin Zhaoxia anymore, and turned her head to laugh with the other sisters on the side.

Seeing that Princess Zhaohua ignored this folk princess, as if isolating her, the others saw the wind and rudder, and did not talk to Lin Zhaoxia anymore.

It was the fourth princess born by Concubine Hui who said a few more words to Lin Zhaoxia.

At the first birthday banquet of the prince of Jin, King Yue was designed to harm His Royal Highness Sixteen under the name of Concubine Hui, and later King Yue cleared his name, and Xiao Sixteen was fine, I heard that he also relied more and more on the Seven Emperor Brothers, which also made Princess Zhaoxian, who was born to Concubine Hui, have a good impression of the Seven Emperor Brothers who have not seen each other for a long time.

Naturally, he was a little more friendly to him, the princess from the people.

"The Seventh Emperor Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, you are the prince and princess, and few people can surpass you. Just do it as you like. ”

Lin Zhaoxia breathed a sigh of relief, "When the fourth princess said this, I feel much more relieved." I'm afraid that I'm going to say the wrong thing, and I don't dare to take one more step on the road. ”

Lin Zhaoxia immediately had a good impression of this extremely docile-looking fourth princess. Sure enough, good words are warmer than those with guns and sticks. Thinking about the Beijing-China relationship that Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sorted out for her......

The fourth princess married the second son of General Zhennan's family, and now she has a son and a daughter, and she lives happily with the horse. And her sister Fifth Princess is the second son of Dingbei Hou.

The two daughters born to Concubine Hui were given by Emperor Zhizheng to be military generals in charge of the army.

Look at the other princesses' families, they are all old meritorious people of Daqi or people in charge of military power. It seems that the royal family also relies on the marriage of children to strengthen the relationship.

Today, the royal family sent the appointment, and the royal family and relatives came to watch the ceremony, and added makeup, which also allowed Lin Zhaoxia to meet many royal nobles.

After the dowry is given, the next thing is the last of the six gifts, "personal welcome". The wedding day is set for the tenth day of August, and there are only a few days left, and the Jiang Mansion is getting busier and busier. All the subordinates in the house combined, they are also busy and can't win.

Zhao Guangyuan transferred half of his subordinates from the Yue Wangfu to help. Princess Lu also sent more than 20 people to help.

After the Yue Wangfu transferred people, the Yue Wangfu was not enough manpower, so he had to suspend the decoration of the restaurant. All the chefs and others hired by the restaurant were transferred to the Yue Wangfu to help. This is not enough at all, and people are transferred from the imperial village.

A group of officials of the Si Nong Division, seeing that Shangguan was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, hugged his thighs, and asked them to send his subordinates and female dependents to help.

Shangguan's wedding, can you get some blessings and joy? And although King Yue is poor, he is very generous.

In the past few days of helping, the female relatives of the family either came back with all kinds of cloth, or held all kinds of cakes and snacks, fish, meat, wine and tea, and filled the belly of the family. Like Du Zhishu, an eight-generation poor farmer, a poor family who was finally supported by the whole family, was nothing when he arrived in the capital full of nobles.

Seven-grade petty officials, there are only a hundred or two a year, and the house in Beijing can't afford it, and the whole family rents a yard and lives next to each other, where is there any oil and water on weekdays. I am reluctant to cut a few more clothes.

But these days, the cloth rewarded by King Yue alone is enough for a family's clothes for a year.

This thigh must be firmly clenched.

Therefore, the officials of the Si Nong Division sent their families to the palace, even if they were busy, they were very happy.

Zhao Guangyuan naturally saw it in his eyes. is also a Beijing official, as far as he is concerned, the official of the Agricultural Department is not an official, and the people are not the people, but I am afraid that the life at home will not be easy.

Si Nong Si has no oil and water to fish, and there is no reward for the New Year's Festival, so with that little money, it is not easy to live in a place like the capital.

If you want to do something, at least you have to let the people who follow him no longer be so poor, but these days they are busy preparing for the wedding, and they are also flawless, but they just keep it in mind silently, and they want to wait for the wedding to see if there is any way to get money, so as to help everyone.

In a blink of an eye, on the eighth day of August, Lin Zhaoxia was checking the dowry with Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The dowry sent by the palace should all be sent to the Yue Wangfu as a dowry. Of course, if the woman's family is there, all the dowry will not be filled into the dowry, but in this case, Lin Zhaoxia cannot contact Lin Qiushan's side.

There is no need to withhold the dowry.

The palace gave ninety-eight dowry gifts, and there was no regulation on the dowry of the prince and princess, but the dowry of the princess, who was married to the queen of Jin, Wei Wang, and King Jing, was one hundred and thirty-eight, and the princess of Jin was one hundred and fifty-eight, which was only ten less than the regulation of the crown princess.

And the kings of Qin and Chu married before the king, and the dowry of the princess was also one hundred and twenty-eight. Although King Yue pretended to be poor in front of the people, it was not good that the number of dowries was too low, so that Lin Zhaoxia was talked about.

Zhao Guangyuan naturally didn't want to wronged Lin Zhaoxia, most of the treasures in the treasury were brought over, and they were searched in the Dongsheng pawnshop, which was only a lot more than one hundred and thirty-eight.

"There are too many dowries sent by the prince, I'm afraid this will exceed the regulations."

Mrs. Jiang was a little worried, in addition to the one sent by King Yue, as the "clansman" of the woman's family, the Jiang Mansion also prepared a lot of dowries. This has to be all caged, I'm afraid it will exceed the regulations of the crown princess.

"Let's just pack one hundred and thirty-eight." Lin Zhaoxia looked at the long gift list, and she was also dizzy.

Jiang Fu's kindness could not be refused, Lin Zhaoxia decided to accept it all and put it in the dowry, and then borrow Jiang Wentao's marriage in the future. Zhao Guangyuan sent them, although they were looted from the pawn shop, and they were all dead things, but Lin Zhaoxia still didn't plan to put them in the dowry just in case.

It is said that King Yue wants to pretend to be poor, according to her meaning, just pretend to be one hundred and eighteen, slightly lower than other princesses, doesn't it look even poorer? With his own identity, it is not easy to slap a swollen face and become fat.

But Zhao Guangyuan and Madame Jiang disagreed. It's a lot more than that.

"Mother, just do what my sister said. Let's not be too high-profile. Life is not for others to see. Wen persuaded Mrs. Jiang. Her mother-in-law has the heart of marrying a daughter, for fear that Princess Yue will bring less dowry, which will make people look down on her.

"That's okay, then I'll regulate it."

If you can, stuff more into the box. An empty one hundred and thirty-eight is also one hundred and thirty-eight, and a full one hundred and thirty-eight is also one hundred and thirty-eight. Princess Yue married from her own family, but she can't let people underestimate their Jiang family.

The rest couldn't fit it, and after the wedding, let Wen Tao quietly bring it back to the palace.

Yigan was busy with the dowry, and Zhao Guangyuan came to the door. In addition to bringing a large wedding dress from the palace, he also brought a person.
