195 Dowry

After the crane's 100-day feast, the days suddenly became faster. Mulberry didn't even feel the passage of time, but the time sequence was already in October.

It is only more than ten days before she and Shen Tingjun get married.

Seeing that it was an auspicious day, Sang Fuyue was completely enchanted.

The military academy has already opened, and he now has to go to school every day. But after school, he didn't care about greeting or making friends with his "classmates", but he went home non-stop, and then asked all the details about the wedding.

Sang Fuyue's temper was visibly irritable, and he saw that Shen Tingjun was becoming more and more unpleasant, so he strictly ordered all the gatekeepers to treat Shen Tingjun as a thief, and resolutely did not allow him to sneak over the wall into the house in the middle of the night to steal incense and jade.

In view of his extremely serious attitude this time, and his face was gloomy, the subordinates did not dare to disobey the yin and yang, and patrolled even harder. Then, Shen Tingjun really couldn't enter the Sang Mansion and couldn't see the Sang Twisting Moon.

Shen Tingjun: ...... Okay, don't frown at Sang Fuyue for the time being. After all, in a few days, you will be able to hold the beauty. At this time, Sang Fuyue was offended to death, although this brother-in-law did not regret the marriage, but his methods were also ruthless, and if he really did something, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Shen Tingjun showed ruthless cooperation, and when Sang Fuyue saw this, he was finally satisfied.

What makes him even more satisfied is that in the past few days, the good land he had been thinking about buying for his sister finally got it.

A total of 2,000 acres of land is the ancestral property of the unscrupulous descendants in the capital who sold their families.

It doesn't matter if the ancestral property is not the ancestral property, it is always above board and upright, he gives him plenty of money, and the transaction is fair and just.

Such a piece of fertile land is still in the suburbs of the capital, which is really hard to find. Even if they are found, most of them are 50 acres or more than 100 acres, and they are far less convenient to take care of than this fertile land.

And how fertile this fertile land is, the best fields of Yishui, there are dry fields and paddy fields, whether it is wheat or rice, it is very good.

And if you can find a place to grow rice in the capital, there must be a hot spring next to the obvious boundary. When he turns around and looks for it, he will build a hot spring village for his sister, and ensure that the envious eyes of these noble ladies in the capital are red.

The good land was bought, the shop was bought, the house was also found suitable, and even the dowries from as far away as Jinzhou and Minzhou were successively transported to the mansion.

It can be said that up to now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The time soon came the day before Sang Xuanyue and Shen Tingjun got married.

There is a custom in the capital that the dowry should be dried on this day.

This is really right for Sang Fuyue's mind.

If he just carried the dowry into the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, he was not worried that someone in the Hou Mansion would be greedy for his sister's dowry, but this was not much different from the night walk in brocade, and he always felt almost delicious.

Isn't it good to show the dowry, and it's time for the people of the capital to open their eyes and see how rich the richest man in Jinju was ten years ago.

I also have to make it clear to them that my sister and Shen Hou are a family affair, although their Sang family lacks so much in the door, and it seems that they are indeed suspected of climbing the Hou Mansion, but raising their heads to marry a daughter and bowing their heads to marry a daughter-in-law has been a tradition since ancient times. Since the Hou Mansion of Wu'an has chosen their Sang family, then they outsiders should not say anything sour.

In addition, although they are inferior in the family, in other things, their Sang family's head is not low at all.

Don't say anything else, just talk about the wealth of this rich country - he has already inquired, even when the county lord of Changrong married Shen Tingjun, the dowry was not more than one-third. That's it, it's enough to dazzle the people of the capital.

And this time, hehe, he had to let these people in the capital see who was climbing whom.

On the day of the dowry, not only Sang Fuyue was gearing up and wanted to do a big job, but even the people of the capital gathered early on both sides of the avenue from the Mulberry Mansion to the main gate of the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

The people are also waiting to see the excitement.

They didn't just stare at the excitement of the Sang Mansion and the Hou Mansion, but every time the Xungui family got married, they stared at it like this.

After all, what entertainment can Shengdou Xiaomin do every day?

Their days are so monotonous, which makes for a little bit of excitement, and they want to come over and have a look. Not only to entertain the body and mind, but also to increase knowledge, track the latest popular news, let yourself have more after-dinner conversations, and become a fragrant gluttony for the stars when everyone chats......

In a word, watching the excitement is conducive to physical and mental health, and watching the excitement is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people.

Today, the people are especially excited, and before the dowry has been brought over, they are buzzing with discussions.

This said, "I heard that the Sang family is the richest in Jinju, and the bride has climbed the high branches, and she is the only daughter in the family, so this dowry will definitely be very rich, right?" ”

"Then you are lonely, don't you know that the bride's parents died early? She is now living with the eldest brother and sister-in-law who she just recognized, and this eldest brother has not seen her for more than ten years. This person has to be together often in order to be in love, this has been broken off for more than ten years, how deep can the friendship be? Then she is a girl's family, even if there is more property in this family, what does it have to do with her as a girl? It's all spilled water, and no matter how much you dowry, it's useless. ”

"I don't like to hear that. How can this be done for nothing? This girl is going to marry into the Hou Mansion, and if she climbs the Hou Mansion, her mother's family can also follow suit. As long as this girl is coaxed and gives them a few good words in front of the Hou Ye in the future, won't the Sang family develop sooner or later? Even if it is just for this one benefit, if you want to come to the Sang family, you will not treat the bride badly in terms of dowry. ”

"Who's going to know? Anyway, if it were me, I would be reluctant. After all, what falls into the hands is real. You asked the Hou Mansion to help me, but the gang is nowhere to be seen, but you want me to invest so much first, how willing will I be? ”

"Listen to what you guys are talking about, how do you say it is like selling a girl? Is the Rensang family that kind of people? General Sang was angry with his sister last time, and he also sent the woman who said bad things about Sang directly to Jing Zhao Yin to sue the official. In my opinion, the two brothers and sisters have a deep affection, and it is not impossible for the elder brother to owe his sister a lot of compensation in this matter......"

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and these people were so noisy that they couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, soon, the time came at an auspicious time.

A dowry was carried out of the mulberry house, bypassing the Gulou Street in front of the mulberry house, then passing through Qisheng Street, and finally arriving at Gongchen Street, where the Wu'an Hou Mansion was located.

From the mulberry house to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the approach road is actually very close. After all, the Sang Mansion is on the street where the back door of the Wu'an Hou Mansion is located, so it's really time to say a word.

But if you want to take the main road and the main entrance, the distance is far away, and you have to go around three streets one after another. And it takes a lot of time, not counting the traffic jam, it also takes about half an hour.

But even if the road is so long, it seems so short at this moment.

Because the first dowry on this side has already traveled through three streets and entered the Wu'an Hou Mansion on Gongchen Street, but the last dowry is still in the mulberry mansion and has not had time to be carried out.

It's true, saying "ten miles of red makeup" feels too small.

Some people watched in amazement as a group of people walked over, and then stumbled and asked the people around them, "That good field, how much did you marry?" ”

"Liang, Liangtian, I, I didn't count it."

"There was too much adobe on the table to count. But according to my estimates, there are at least 2,000 acres ......."

"Two thousand acres, you didn't count wrong?"

"That's right."

The capital is rich and noble. Whether it is noble or rich, when a daughter marries, she always has to buy a thick dowry.

The dowry should be dried, so how to dry it in order to maximize the benefits, this is debatable.

There are capable people who have come up with a way, such as fertile land, houses, shops, etc., it is not good to directly take out the deed of ownership for everyone to see, then directly put something else instead.

A piece of adobe represents ten acres of fertile land. House, put three tiles in a stack, it means that you are married to the house of three in, and a stack of five tiles means that you are married to the house of five in. Of course, now there is a new type of house model, or three, or five, you just buy it, and the people will know what you are marrying at a glance. As for the shop, it is better to say, no matter how many floors it is, it can be made for you, you just have to hang a signboard on the lintel, so that everyone can better understand what the shop you marry is doing, and it is not a difficult matter.

After all, everything has come up with a way for you to show off, as long as you are willing to give up your money, you will be allowed to bask in the scenery of your dowry.

And the dowry of Sang Twisting Moon started with countless tables, and the tables were neatly built, all of which were adobe. Roughly counted, there are 2,000 acres to say the least.

As for the houses, there are six sets of three-entry houses in the capital alone, five sets of four-entry houses, and two sets of five-entry houses. This is only in the capital, out of the capital, in Jinzhou, Minzhou, also at least two houses each. Even on the way to Beijing, the more prosperous state capital also has real estate purchases.

There are also quite a few Zhuangzi, at least eight. Among them, there are two hot spring Zhuangzi, although they are not in the capital, but the location is not bad, and the value is also very valuable.

Then there are 12 shops in the capital. When it is said to be a "room", it is not just one or two. After all, there are many shops in it, and the whole building has been bought. It's just customary to collectively refer to it as "between".

Like the house, the shop, the Zhuangzi, and the fertile land, these are enough to make people stunned, but there are many other valuables in the dowry of Sang Twisting the Moon.

Dozens of boxes were packed into sets of jewelry made of beeswax, coral, gold, silver, gemstones, and jade.

Various colors of leather, python satin, gold satin, soft smoke, cicada wing yarn, pomegranate silk and other fabrics or ready-to-wear were packed in 100 boxes.

Rosewood, yellow pear, sour branch wood made into a set of furniture, as well as green jade, white jade and other carefully carved ornaments, purple jade pot spring bottle, Ru kiln beauty shrug bottle, "mountain road pine mountain map", "Jiangshan snow Ji map" and so on, or furniture furnishings or antique calligraphy and painting, no matter which one is not something that cannot be said to have a calendar.

These things were lifted for half an hour, and everyone who saw them was numb and dumbfounded. And those who read books, usually behaved in a good manner, but at this time they couldn't control their appearance, and squeezed forward one by one, as if the distance was closer, they could hold those antiques or calligraphy and paintings in their hands and keep them for themselves.

Daily necessities and medicinal herbs are not a few.

All kinds of hand stoves, descendant buckets, boxes, combs, boxes, all kinds of shapes and materials, people who look at them are dizzying, and they can't help but sigh: they usually don't even know what the gems look like, but this descendant bucket is actually inlaid with a circle of gems. What's more, the ivory chopsticks are also carved; The jewelry box was actually made of a whole piece of jade......

The medicinal materials are frequently dumbfounded, just because there are ginseng of various years, Ganoderma lucidum, Chuanbei, Polygonum multiflori, etc., there are a lot. Among them, musk, bezoar, deer antler, rhino horn, which are not too valuable, can't be directly packed in sacks.

It's really, after all these years, I can't tell how many girls have married in the capital, but the dowry can make people sigh again and again, sighing and even running out of saliva, this is really the first time.

And if you want to say that the most valuable of the Sang family's dowry is not the fertile land, shops, houses, or all kinds of jewelry, antiques and medicinal materials, it is definitely those hundreds of boxes of books.

Yes, at the end of the dowry, there are boxes and boxes of books. The lid of the box was open, and the people could see the top books. Most of them are ordinary people, and they don't understand the value of these books, but after seeing these books, the whole person completely changed color, and even didn't care about the decency, but directly called out to the senior brothers around them. From this, it can be seen that these books are by no means ordinary.

And there are hundreds of large boxes of such books. That's a ...... This is the greatest wealth that can be passed on to future generations.

The people couldn't help but sigh: "Sang's dowry, in the past hundred years, absolutely no one can surpass her." ”

"Don't say anything else, just those books, they're all ancient books! It's an ancient book! ”

"I heard that Sang's maiden family runs a bookstore, and their ancestors have been running the bookstore for generations. I heard that almost half of the books in the entire Jiangnan were circulated from their bookstores. ”

"Since you run a bookstore, those good Sang families must have been selected and treasured. Not all of these books that the Sang family married, there should be many such books in the Sang family. The Sang family is the real rich country, and the real rich. ”

"I heard that the Sang family runs a Chongshu restaurant in the south of the city, and the books sold in the study are all selected and copied from the Sang family's library. You say, will there be one or two ancient books in it that are not passed on? ”

"I can't say for sure."

"I can't tell!"
