Chapter 812 Hint
Time passed quickly, and the three letters and six ceremonies between the Zhou Mansion and the Ning Mansion went smoothly. The re-engagement of Zhou and Ning's family was also talked about in Beijing. Of course, there was also a luxurious betrothal gift from the Ning family.
The dowry gifts of the Ning family filled the front yard of the Zhou family on that day, gold and silver were not counted, and the antique jewelry opened the eyes of those who came to watch the ceremony.
The date of this marriage has also been fixed, and it will be held in the winter of the coming year.
Three days after the engagement, Zhulan was still very busy, busy arranging her daughter's dowry, and several daughters-in-law also came to help, and after three days of busy work, it was finally done.
Looking at the thick dowry list in her mother-in-law's hand, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally done, mother, my daughter-in-law has been dreaming about arranging the dowry these few nights."
As soon as she woke up, she felt tired. My sister-in-law married into the Hou's mansion. The dowry dazzled her. Yulu was not married to Gao. The eldest daughter-in-law, she is worried about her daughter's dowry.
Zhulan touched the dowry list, "Mother too, it's all dowry with eyes closed and open, luckily it's finally ordered."
The dowry gift from the Ning family was too expensive. She told Shuren that all the dowry gifts would be taken away by Xuehan, plus the dowry she had prepared. Xuehan’s dowry was too much, already one hundred and twenty lift.
At that time, the crown prince married the crown prince with 140 sets, and several princes and concubines with 120 sets. Although Rong Chuan was the real fifth prince, he did not recognize him.
Zhulan had no choice but to reduce the dowry, but she carefully prepared everything for her daughter, even if it was compacted, it would be too much.
That's why they rearranged the dowry, cut down some items that were indeed not needed in the future, and finalized the final dowry list by the way.
Mrs. Zhao's help these few days has really opened her eyes. She thought that she had to carry a few taels of silver with her every day, but now she seldom contains silver in her purse, "Mother, my sister's wedding dress is Shouldn't it be ready?"
Zhulan, "It is indeed time to prepare, but this material has to be chosen."
Su Xuan then said: "Mother, the material used for the wedding dress made by my daughter-in-law was pretty good, but you have to order it in advance. My daughter-in-law will order it for my sister-in-law. What do you think?"
Zhulan smiled, "That's good, otherwise I'd be worried!"
Seeing that Mother was a little tired, Mrs. Li stood up, "Mother, you rest first, and my daughter-in-law will go back first."
Zhulan is indeed a bit tired,
"good."
The daughters-in-laws all returned, Zhulan got up to go back to the house to rest, she stopped, and said to Mrs. Song: "The selected dowry, you will give it to several families in five shares, and these shares belong to Yushuang. individual."
Mrs. Song said: "Why don't you wait for a few Miss Sun to get married and send them over?"
Zhulan smiled, "They still have some ideas about getting married. These jewelry should be old, so it's better to share them now."
Mrs. Song, "Yes."
In the big house, Mrs. Li couldn't sit still when she returned to the yard, so she took her mother-in-law to the storeroom. In the storeroom was the dowry she had saved for her daughter. For each room.
Mrs. Li only hoped that Mrs. Ding would feel like coming home. Yes, it should be Steward Ding who should hurry home so that she would know how much money she had earned and buy more for her daughter.
When Mrs. Li came out of the warehouse, she saw Mrs. Song coming with a girl, with cloth and a box behind her. Mrs. Li asked, "This?"
Mrs. Song explained: "This is distributed by the mistress to several Miss Suns. Miss Yulu and Miss Yushuang are old, and they are at the age of wearing jewelry. The two Miss Suns are all for packing cloth. Others The young ladies are mostly unpolished gems."
Li waited for Mrs. Song to leave, opened the box, and found some jewelry suitable for a daughter, feeling in her heart, "Mrs. Song is really careful."
The girl next to her said in her heart that Mrs. Song is still very strict, and it is Mrs. Song who these girls are most afraid of.
The second room, Mrs. Zhao, took two copies, watched the little girl playing with the gems, and thought to herself, fortunately, the little girl and Yushuang have a big age difference, and they left her a few years to save the dowry.
Because Dong's daughter was young and she was pregnant, she put it away after reading it.
Su Xuan has too many good things, so she put them away and will use them when her daughter grows up.
Hanlin Academy, the weather is getting colder this day, Shi Qing is sick, and feels extremely uncomfortable, and feels dizzy after walking two steps.
Chang Lian gave a hand behind him, "I didn't say, why didn't you ask for leave when you were unwell?"
Shi Qing had a hard time saying that recently the emperor asked him to keep a close eye on the capital, and he dared not relax. In addition, the more he got in touch with, he also knew something about what Yaohou's mansion did back then. Although he didn't know much, he also understood. The emperor hated Yaohou's mansion to the bone.
Shi Qing recalled that after Yao Yao became pregnant, the emperor saw him implying that the death of both mother and child was a good result, and he understood that the emperor regretted the marriage, and the emperor did not want to let anyone in the Yao family go.
He was stupid at the time. He said that his relationship with Yao Yao was as deep as the ocean, but he didn't believe it himself. He and Yao Yao could only say that they knew each other. The relationship was there, but not very deep. Neither Yao Yao nor he could give a sincere heart. Sincere people have reservations in their hearts.
Later, he didn't know how long he knelt, but he only knew that he couldn't be so ruthless, if he was really ruthless, the emperor would not be at ease with him, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, so he protected Yao Yao and the child.
Now is the price, he has to resist the pain, the only regret is that Yao Yao can only have a daughter, this is the emperor's last concession.
Shi Qing didn't know at all that he still couldn't make the emperor make concessions, and the reason why he made the emperor's concessions was for the sake of helping Rong Chuan back then.
Seeing that Shi Qing didn't speak, Chang Lian sighed, "You sit down first, I'll pour you hot water."
Shi Qing hoarsely said, "Thank you."
When Chang Lian went out to pour hot water, there were many sages in the Imperial Academy, but no one was there to serve him, so it cannot be said that he was also a sage, but he never poured hot water by himself, and someone always helped him.
He used to rely on having a good father, and later added Rong Chuan. His life in the Imperial Academy was like a fish in water. Chang Lian looked at the boy who poured hot water for him. With his father protecting him, he has to think about where he will go to hone after two years.
Chang Lian went to the kitchen, not only brought a pot of hot water, but also broke the ginger tea and came back, and handed the ginger tea to Shi, "Drink it, this pot of water will be left for now, let it cool down later, drink more Some hot water will make you feel better."
Shi Qing, "Thank you."
Chang Lian patted Shi Qing on the shoulder. He heard from his father that Shi Qing had a difficult life.
The Ministry of Punishment, Zhou Shuren was the one who followed the crown prince yesterday. Zhou Shuren rubbed his neck and looked at the file on the table in front of him with a wooden face. It is estimated that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are out of leisure, and they are all piled up in the Ministry of Punishment waiting for him.
The crown prince was still plausible, choked him with his words, why was he in charge of the government of a state, anyway, just let him look through the papers, I hope he can see some problems.
Zhou Shuren sneezed, regretting why he didn't open the window when it rained last night. If he was sick, he could ask for leave. Why bother to fight the file in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
