"Dowry?" Xie Yi smiled and blinked, "Isn't the dowry supposed to be given by the Rongguo Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Xie clapped her hands and said, "The Rongguo Mansion naturally wants to give it too." ”

Xie Yi smiled: "?!" ”

Wait, what's weird?

"Doesn't that mean I can take two?"

Mrs. Xie said, "Yes, two copies." ”

Can she get two dowry gifts when she marries someone?

Ah, this?

Xie Yi smiled: "... Wouldn't it be good? ”

Where does anyone get married and get two dowry gifts? This has never happened since ancient times, has it?

Right?

Old lady Xie said: "What's wrong, Your Majesty regards the ninth prince as a royal son, his son and nephew, and he gives a dowry, which is also normal, and he is also the son of the Rongguo Mansion, the son of the Rongguo Mansion and the son of the Rongguo Duke and his wife, so he can't help but give it." ”

Xie Yixiao turned his head to look at him: "Really accepted it?" ”

"Receive." Old lady Xie waved his hand, didn't care about these things, and left with a small tune humming in his steps.

Xie Yi'an, Xie Yizhen and Xie Jin continued to go back to the official office, and the rest of Xie Zhuo, Xie Yu, the son, and Mrs. Xie, Xie Yixiao, Wen, and Xie Zhu.

Mrs. Xie ordered someone to carry the things to Qingshan Garden, and then began to count and check the list.

Nowadays, although the atmosphere is upright, but the marriage with men and women is quite luxurious and exquisite, and the dowry includes the gift of relatives, bride money, tea, cakes, incense and candles, wine, seasonal fruits, dried fruit preserves, meat, as well as clothes, cloth, shoes, gold and silver jewelry, and so on.

However, because it is not a serious proposal, cakes, incense and candles are exempted.

"The bride gold is 1,000 taels of gold, and the silver is 10,000 taels." Mrs. Xie glanced at it and was relieved.

There is also an unwritten rule in the powerful clans about gift money, and the world says that 'a daughter is a good woman to marry', so this 'daughter marrying a woman' represents the highest importance that the future in-laws attach to the girl.

But the more the better, some are also insurmountable, if the Son of Heaven marries the queen, he needs to get ten thousand gold and silver, and he is precious, and when the prince and the prince of the palace get married, you can use thousands of gold and silver.

Wait a little further, a prince like Jiang Zeyun will give eight hundred gold and eight thousand silver, and when it comes to Xie Jin, it will be secondary, because the Xie family does not have a title, so it is just right to give six hundred gold and six thousand silver.

The emperor gave so much gift money, the meaning of which is self-evident, it must be for her to marry as a 'princess'.

Mrs. Xie looked down again.

Wedding clothes: Shangyi Bureau weaving

Phoenix crown: made by Si Zhenfang

Customized in the palace, that is, there is a grade?

Mrs. Xie smiled.

"A thousand taels of gold? Ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels? Xie Yixiao blinked, a little incredulous, "How much does this have?" ”

Xie Yixiao felt that this era was somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty, but it was a little different, the previous dynasty and Great Qin were somewhat like the combination of the Tang and Song dynasties, and now some have continued, and some have been abandoned.

Xie Yixiao once collected information, according to the value of money and silver in the Song Dynasty at that time, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to between six hundred and one thousand three in the present world, if it is a compromise and counted as a thousand, then ten thousand taels of silver is one or ten million, right?

There is also a thousand gold, and the exchange of a thousand gold for silver is exactly 10,000 taels of silver, which is also 10 million.

That adds up, that's 20 million, right?

Xie Yixiao took a deep breath.

And she can also take two copies.

Isn't it possible to get rich by marrying someone?

As soon as I married the ninth son, I feel that my life has reached its peak.

And in addition to the gift money, there are others, such as a jar of precious wine, a box of fine tribute tea, clothes and shoes, but twenty-eight horses of fine cloth were given, and there were a lot of silk and satin.

In addition, there are eight sets of jewelry, and there are some scattered jewelry and ornaments, such as hostas, hairpins, bracelets, jade ruyi and so on.

There are many of them, and they look particularly spectacular.

Mrs. Xie asked Wen to sit aside, and then took Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu to check the gift list, and finally saw that there was no problem, so she smiled at Xie Yi: "You can keep this gold, and when the time comes, you will take it with you, forget about the silver, it's too much, I will exchange it for a silver ticket for you at that time." ”

Xie Yixiao squatted on the edge of a box, Xie Zhu took out a box in the box, opened it and saw that it was a pearl golden hairpin.

The largest golden pearl in the middle of the hairpin is the size of a thumb, surrounded by a circle of small golden pearls, like the stars and the moon, and the pearl tassel is made at the bottom, which looks delicate and elegant.

Xie Zhu put the hairpin on Xie Yixiao's bun, and then smiled: "Little aunt is good-looking." ”

Her little face was red with excitement and envy.

Xie Yi smiled and came back to his senses, and wanted to say that since he likes it, he will give it to you.

But think about it and shut up again, I don't know if this thing can be given to her, and if it is to be sent, now that these three are here, it can't just send one, if it is to be sent, what to send needs to be considered by good students.

And she sent these few, and the Changning Marquis Mansion can't be missing.

Even if you want to send it, you need to think about it.

Wen smiled on the side: "Little aunt is naturally good-looking, you can be careful, don't break it, this is a rare good bead, not to mention the value, and it is difficult to find a good one like this." ”

When Xie Zhu heard this, he quickly took off the hairpin and put it back in the box: "Then I won't play." ”

"Laughing?"

"Oh?" Xie Yi smiled and came back to his senses and looked at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie said: "You see what things you can use, pick them out, and put the rest in the storeroom of the courtyard, and then take them away for you when you get married." ”

Everyone's clan has never deducted the girl's dowry, and she is usually allowed to take it all away.

Although some in-laws give a lot of dowry and expensive, the girl who marries out is not really spilled water, and it has nothing to do with her mother's family.

What's more, it's not that this family can't live without these days.

Xie Yixiao looked at these things, and she didn't know how to deal with them, and she didn't feel that she had anything to use now, so she said: "There's nothing to take out, or I'll put it in the warehouse first, and then I'll find it when I want to use something." ”

"Then let's put it first." Seeing that she looked unresponsive, Mrs. Xie was obviously still confused, and didn't say anything, but just let a room be vacated, carried all the boxes except for the silver, and then changed a new lock and gave her the key.

In addition, people were asked to carry away the boxes containing silver and exchange them for silver tickets.

At this time, all the tea shops and restaurants in the imperial city were discussing this matter:

"Have you heard? His Majesty decreed that the ninth prince of the Rongguo Mansion was married! ”

"Really married? Really? ”

"Your Majesty's decrees have come down, how can it be fake."

"Which girl is so lucky to marry into the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Who is this person? It is the Xie family's Xie Thirteen, the thirteenth aunt and grandmother of the Xie Ge old Xie family, she is also. ”
