Chapter 407: Dowry

The royal wedding originally carried a variety of etiquette rules, which is also a treasure of Chinese heritage.

Like the prince's wedding, the groom needs to come to the palace to welcome his relatives in accordance with the royal etiquette.

At noon, a banquet was held in the palace, and all ministers of sufficient rank had to come to participate, although it was not compulsory, but who dared not come.

Don't say that you offend Li Shimin, even Li Shen and they can't stand it, if they offend Li Shimin, it will be better, after all, Li Shimin is a generation of Ming Jun, for the sake of fame or wisdom, it won't be good.

But Li Shen is different, no one knows that King Ji will take revenge, and he is insidious and cunning, and he never clashes head-on with the enemy.

If he retaliates, he may have to suffer a big loss at any time.

The consequence of the woman's toughness is that Zhou Daowu is like a little transparent at the banquet, he was originally the protagonist, but now he has become a spectator.

When everyone saw him, they only said a word of congratulations or praise, and it was over.

Today, whether it is true or not, Li Shimin seems very happy, and he keeps drinking with the ministers, and also instructs Zhou Daowu to treat his daughter Yunyun well.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the sky gradually darkened, the Tang Dynasty got married, and the weddings just started at dusk.

And in order to save face, these ministers had to go to Zhou's house to eat again and send congratulatory gifts.

At the time of parting, Li Mengjiang staged a bitter love scene with Wei Guifei and Li Shimin, and Li Shimin even gave Li Mengjiang a waist card, so that she could come back to visit Wei Guifei from time to time.

The scene was very sad.

Li Shen stood aside and thought about it for a long time, thinking that he had to cry a little bit on this occasion to look gregarious.

After saying goodbye to Concubine Wei, Li Mengjiang came to Li Shen again, and began to cry again on Li Shen's shoulder.

"Sister, my dress is very expensive." Li Shen said helplessly.

This sentence suddenly made the original warm and sad atmosphere disappear, and everyone felt speechless, this King Ji is really,

Isn't it sad for my sister to get married?

Li Mengjiang suddenly stood up straight, looked at Li Shen's smiling face, and reached out to touch Li Shen's head,

Although Li Shen is taller than her now, she has been used to it since she was a child.

"Shen'er, you will often enter the palace to accompany your mother in the future and take good care of your mother."

After hearing this, Wei Guifei began to cry again,

Li Shen stared at Li Mengjiang with his big eyes, and then looked at Wei Guifei, very helpless.

"Don't be sad, concubine, today is a day of great joy, you have to be happy. Besides, my sister is not married far away, her princess's mansion is closer to Renchongfang than my palace, and my sister doesn't bring anything she can't catch up with when she comes to the palace to eat every day, what is there to cry about. ”

This is Li Shen's helplessness, if you marry Li Mengjiang and your relatives, it's okay to cry, Li Shimin's princess mansion to Li Mengjiang is in Renchongfang, and the first square to turn left out of the imperial city is,

It's much closer than Li Shen's Qinrenfang, and you can go home to eat three meals a day. Wait for Li Shen to finish building the princess's mansion,

Then Li Mengjiang and Li Shen are separated by a wall, and Li Shen can open a door from the middle.

Li Shen's words stunned Wei Guifei, and when she thought about it, Li Shimin also reacted, this daughter is closer to marrying than Changle.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, sister will go back to the palace tomorrow." After Li Shen finished speaking, he looked at the sky, and took out a signal flare from his pocket.

Come to the lantern and light it, "chirp ~~~~~ bang~~~~"

Li Shenda dared to put a signal flare in the palace, and Li Shimin knew that this son was informing the palace of what arrangements were made.

When Zhou Daowu and Li Mengjiang walked out of the palace gate, Suzaku Street was already brightly lit, the glass lights on both sides of the road were all turned on, and the big red lanterns were hung along the street.

The scourge in Chang'an City was already ready, and after Li Mengjiang took the reins, the team began to march towards the Zhou Mansion.

On both sides are the people watching the excitement, generally there will be no curfew for royal happy events, and the whole road from the palace gate to the Zhou Mansion is as bright as day,

There are also a few handmaidens in front of them who scatter flower petals with baskets, and the scourge is still responsible for throwing money in the back, which is their favorite thing to do.

Anyway, it's not my own money, I threw it away one by one, and it was refreshing.

Li Shen has prepared a hundred carts of copper coins, and the royal family sending off team is much larger than the team welcoming relatives.

The symbolic dowry is twenty boxes, which are all silk and silk, and Li Mengjiang plans to leave these in the Zhou Mansion, as a filial piety to his mother-in-law.

In addition to Li Shen, even Li Tai and Li Zhi followed, and there were seven or eight princesses who had not yet left the cabinet.

The team walked for two quarters of an hour to reach the Zhou Mansion, and Li Mengjiang got out of the car and entered through the middle gate, and after entering, it was another red tape.

This time, the leader of the team was still Li Xiaogong of the clan, and the salute was also very smooth, and there was no Wang Jue incident.

Or that the few princesses who have married since that time have not had anything like that, and they are all scared by Li Shen.

This little royal prince is too ruthless, if you move the rules, he will move your whole family.

Wang Jue was almost hanged by this little prince that time. ,

This time, the Zhou family didn't dare even more, this is King Ji's own sister, and he can kill Zhou Daowu if he doesn't do it well.

At the banquet, Li Shen took the gift list from the stone, and the things were pulled to the princess's mansion, because Li Mengjiang's dowry was too much.

has exceeded the etiquette system, in order not to commit tongues, so Li Shen took the dowry as a gift and wrote it into a gift list.

In this way, the younger brother has nothing to say about how many gifts he gives, unlike Li Liqing, when Wei Zheng, the old lamp, came out to block it.

"This is the dowry that this king prepared for my sister, please take a look." Zhou Daowu's father died early, and this time it was his uncle Zhou Shaoji who accompanied him.

Zhou Shaoji took the gift list and didn't look at it, but handed it to the singer and asked him to sing it, firstly, this is the rule, and secondly, it is also for the guests to listen.

"Ji Wang's Mansion Reward;

500 pieces of silk from the south of the Yangtze River, 1,000 pieces of silk, and 10 pearls of the night of the South China Sea,......." began to sing and chanted,

The guests all stopped and listened, and every time they read a name, the people below showed a look of surprise, and what was even more surprising was that the gift list was read from childhood to adulthood.

Next are some ornaments, what blood coral, pearl agate, and jewelry for Li Mengjiang, jade,

After a long time, the singers paused, and everyone knew that the main event was coming.

"Fifty large shops in the East Market"

"Wow~~~" The guests were noisy, and in the place where every inch of land in the East Market was valuable, fifty large shops were worth a lot of money.

"A ten-acre courtyard by the river."

"Wow~~~~~~~"

"Fifty acres of princess mansion."

"Wow~~~"

"Money, 500,000 yuan."

"Wow~~~"

"Really?"

"It must be true, King Ji is so rich."

"The Zhou family is going to be developed."

"Ji Wangfu Distillery is a dividend."

"Three generations of the Zhou family are going to be rich."
