Chapter 234: The Heavenly Priced Dowry

Looking at the dowry list again, the top gifts are 10,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver. Mrs. Luo suspects that he may have hidden more money in this pile of things, not cash and silver, but gold notes and silver. Tickets, it seems that every prince got married before, and the highest gift was 5,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. That was Prince Kang, he was the eldest son, and no one behind him could surpass him. The royal family had royal rules. It was broken here, and the gifts prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were equivalent to Prince Kang's. ——Fortunately, there is no requirement that officials and civilians must also follow the royal family, and must not overstep.

The necessary things in the back are practical and symbolic. These things, no matter how carefully prepared, are actually not very valuable. For example, combs, rulers, wish-fulfilling scales, mirrors, Doudou, scissors, abacus, etc. Waiting for something, can you still turn out the flowers? Pancakes, seafood, three animals, fish, coconut, wine, four Beijing fruits, four colored sugars, tea leaves, sesame seeds, stick boxes, incense sticks, gold bracelets, and two rice buckets. You can add anything you can, but you can’t… …

Prince Jin, where have you put these three beasts, and there are only two golden deer in the living creatures, you can't just put those beasts in the box because they are not decent enough, right? What should I do if I get suffocated?

The back is additional, and there are various precious leathers, not based on the number theory, but based on the number of volumes, and then there are Yuehua silk, peacock silk, shark ling yarn, these top-level materials are all in the number of twenty. , and then there are hundreds of pieces of cicada wing yarn, soft smoke Luo, jacquard silk, etc., 400 pieces of high-quality silk of various colors, 400 pieces of satin of each color, 400 pieces of flower satin, 400 pieces of broken branch brocade, and 400 pieces of cloud brocade. 24 pieces, 424 pieces of Shu brocade, 424 pieces of silk yarn of various colors, 424 pieces of woolen wool, 400 pieces of palace silk, 400 pieces of palace satin, and 400 pieces of palace cotton. Cloud satin six hundred.

This is just the material, there are all kinds of cloaks, cloaks, cloaks, ready-to-wear, at least a thousand pieces, dozens of square boots, dozens of pointed boots, 400 pairs of embroidered shoes of various colors, and 400 pairs of silk silk socks of various colors.

This is only combined together, if all are subdivided, I am afraid it will make people tremble even more.

Behind, Mrs. Luo just took a few glances and didn't want to look any more.

But just these few glances, huh, that old heart can't stand it. For example, there are four boxes of pearls of various colors and one box of gems of various colors. Did you see it? , although I didn't write it down in detail, I knew that it was definitely a good thing...

When did these things become so "cheap"? Looking at his handwriting, he doesn't care at all, but it's not just "worthless", the "gadgets" for Jingwan, nothing to be "wasted" or "tossed around".

Mrs. Luo put the gift list by her hand and took a breath of relief. Finally... still did not slow down. It was agreed that no matter how much the betrothal gift was and whether it was valuable or not, she should not appear humble or arrogant when she was hired. To show respect to each other? You Li Hongyuan haven't spoken much since the beginning, but you these things...

"If the lord cares for Wanwan, you can give it to her after you get married."

"Can it be the same?" Li Hongyuan asked indifferently.

Mrs. Luo was speechless. It was really different. After getting married, no matter how much more things were needed, the only thing to show was the love of her husband, but now that it is delivered as Jing Wan's dowry, it is really Jing Wan's things. Her private property shows Jingwan's self-confidence. Even if some people suspect that it was given by Prince Jin, these things will not be exposed at all. Moreover, when Mrs. Luo received the gift list, it was obviously sealed. Yes, obviously, this gift list, I am afraid that even a few Mrs. Quanfu and matchmakers have not seen it. It can be seen that Li Hongyuan has considered these aspects.

Mrs. Luo looked at the other people accompanying her. Yes, all of them were going through the motions, and they had nothing to do with them at all.

The Luo family hosted a banquet.

The dowry list was sent to Jing Wan. Although Jing Wan didn't go to the front, she knew that someone was in trouble again.

There are a lot of relatives here today, but there are people who want to see the dowry list, but Jingwan is nothing, how could it be shown to them, smiled, and even ignored it. Even if they were dissatisfied with her, no one would shout it out.

The items in front of the gift list were all picked up individually, and the rest were all carried into a small courtyard at the back of Haitang Yaju, which was originally intended for Jingwan to temporarily enlarge the dowry. It became her zero-hour warehouse, which is just right, otherwise, the things that Li Hongyuan sent today would have no place to put them.

It can be seen that the Luo family has not paid attention to the dowry from the beginning.

Afterwards, all the gifts were given to Jing Wan. Fortunately, the gold was 10,000 taels, and the cash was only 10,000 taels. The rest were silver notes. Otherwise, so much cash would have taken up a lot of land.

When Li Hongyuan left, he naturally needed to return the gift. Of course, it was impossible to exchange half of the betrothal gift for him, and he wouldn't want it himself, so he only decided what was in the li, and the rest were in accordance with the rules. What would outsiders think? I went to ask.

After sending relatives and friends, Jingwan began to organize things the next day.

In order to get a good night's sleep, she didn't read the gift list yesterday. Now that she saw it, Jingwan felt that she had foresight. Then, as the boxes, large and small, were opened one by one, from the shock at the beginning, to the final I'm numb, I know he's going to make trouble, but should I make it so big?

Sun Yijia was silent for a while, before she spoke quietly, "Sister Wan, I only thought that my dowry was already very rich, but compared to the dowry that Prince Jin gave you, it seems to be a drop in the bucket. , these things can't be squandered, you work hard." He patted Jingwan's shoulder.

Jingwan glared at her angrily, did you say such a thing?

However, Jing Wan once felt that

Yes, I am a rich woman, and my sister-in-law is a big local tyrant. Now, compared with me, um, my eyesight is a little short-sighted. Compared with the real local tyrant Jin, they are all just rising and rising.

But it is impossible for all of these things to be used as dowry and carried back to the Prince Jin's residence. It is like cloth. There are too many. She can't use up all of them in her life, and after a long time, maybe they will be ruined. , the monochromatic ones are fine, the ones themselves have designs and colors, they are renovated almost every year, and they will change greatly after a few years. If someone's attitude towards her at that time is still the same, they can still let her wear the same material. Clothes made?

Instead of piling up moldy waste in the future, it's better to send it now.

So, Jingwan started to send out again, and let the maids beside her send it out one by one, several horses at a time.

Although most of the Luo family have used these materials, they are still a minority. "These are all top-quality materials, and the third sister didn't take it seriously. It can be seen that the amount sent by Prince Jin is extremely large." Little Wang touched the materials fondly, "I'm afraid there are better ones there. ."

"Okay, if you get it well, don't be greedy enough. We haven't used a few of these ingredients. The best ones are only a little bit for the whole year of Qiyuan, which is not something we can imagine. "

"Look at what Mother said, I still don't know this, I'll just say something like that."

"Well, keep it and use it slowly, don't take it all out and waste it. The sixth girl has her own, don't care about her, I will have someone send the older girl's portion later. When the third girl is married, you Take some materials from me and send them back to your mother's house. Keep these things well and keep them for many years. When your two younger siblings enter the house in the future, it is also very good to give them some."

Xiao Wang nodded and said nothing.

The so-called Sheng Mien fights Mi Chou, looking at the pile of materials, Mrs. Luo didn't say anything, nor did she stop Jing Wan. She knew what Jing Wan was thinking, and she didn't want to beat anyone. The Luo family, really Stupid, there are not many people, the kind of people who think about two when they get one, think three when they get two, and wish that others give it all to him after all, there are very few people. . No one is wronged.

There are more close friends, less distant ones, more elders, and fewer juniors. For example, the eldest aunt's family has a double share, and the second aunt's family has no share. The fact tells you that Jingwan also holds grudges very much.

When the pearls were pulled out, Jingwan was lying on the edge of the box, lost in thought.

The boxes are all the same size, about half the height of a person. One of the boxes is full of white pearls the size of fingertips, which are soft and beautiful; , transparent blue, transparent purple, transparent brown, transparent silver gray, and pink, light yellow, light gold, golden pink, pink purple, Jingwan even saw rose pink, lavender purple, and a small black box, She once gave Yuyao a golden pink, and Jingwan even sighed with emotion. This comparison, Prince Jin, you are too stingy with your cousin.

In the fourth box, there are three relatively small brocade boxes on the surface. When Jingwan opened it, she was speechless. Each brocade box contained only a pair of round pearls, a pair of south pearls, and a pair of east pearls, all of uniform size, with a diameter of more than two centimeters. , and a pair of slightly smaller black pearls. Six, all of them, are radiant and charming, and it is only natural that they are known as the treasures of the country.

"Hurry up and put it away, I'll grab it if I look at it any longer." Sun Yijia looked envious and hateful.

Jingwan was funny, but she put it away solemnly, she didn't put it away, she was worried that her hands would tremble when she held it in her hand.

The rest are not round pearls, but other shapes, which are packaged according to color and shape, such as pear-shaped, tear-drop-shaped, oblong, oblong, pie, diamond, square, and various types, but it is obvious , are also carefully selected, uniform in color, the same color and shape, very close in size and shape, more difficult than choosing a single round pearl. In the case of mostly round pearls, it seems to be even more precious.

As for the nearly 100 precious calligraphy and paintings left over from history, Jingwan only took out two of them, so each one was installed separately.

And the dozen or so boxes of antiques, Jingwan didn't even dare to reach out.

Whether it is calligraphy and painting or antiques, these will not be regenerated, and if one is lost, one will be lost. What they carry is not only history, but also cultural heritage. To a certain extent, nothing can match their value.

In that big box of gems, after Jingwan opened one of the boxes and was caught by the sapphire inside, she decided not to reach out anymore, she was worried that she would kill herself. Want to know, red, green, yellow, purple, black, must have everything.

Jingwan realized later that she seemed to be in the middle of a super super rich, or a very, very rich, but they wanted to be together justifiably, so it seems a bit inappropriate to say that?

In the end, Jingwan divided most of the box of white pearls and went out, and the others were left untouched. After all, they were only a few. When they were divided, everyone had less of them. It would be better to slowly make finished jewelry and give them to them. .

Fortunately, there is no real estate and farmland, and there are no medicinal materials. Otherwise, maybe it is really like what Mrs. Luo said, except for furniture and dowry people, there is no need to prepare anything else.

Those treasures, after they are all packed, don't look like much. They can be "out of sight and out of mind", which means that they are just some boxes. The rest, Jing Wan is most worried about those ready-to-wear.

Thousands of pieces. It will take three years to wear one every day and then throw it away. The problem is, those clothes are basically her current size. She is now

It is when the rubbing is long, and many clothes will not fit for three months at most.

She wanted to grab Li Hongyuan's collar and ask him if he had lost his mind and could do such unreliable things. Those clothes, each of which was exquisitely made, how much labor would it take? How much time? It certainly won't be prepared recently, but the size is so accurate.

However, when she was about to close the box containing the gems, Jingwan noticed a different box, picked it up and opened it, and then closed it again with a snap. Mother, it was full of silver notes in 10,000 taels. From the 300,000 taels on the bright side, it is definitely only a lot more, and it is estimated that it is not a single star. Sure enough, it's super super super big!

When Jingwan saw Mrs. Luo in the evening, she was a little weary and worried.

After Mrs. Luo learned about Jingwan's thoughts again, she said she was stupid, "If you send it out, it's over."

"But..." Jingwan herself is actually somewhat unacceptable to other people's clothes, even if it is new clothes, unless it is a special situation, then she would rather wear her own poor clothes than other people's good clothes, and she is arrogant and arrogant. It's ok.

"It's nothing, you just think too much, not many people will care about this. If you keep half of it, even if you can't wear it soon, it is still necessary as a dowry, those are not suitable for giving away, and you can wear them later. Pick out all the ones, and send the others to me here, and I will handle them. What Prince Jin gave you, there is nothing bad, so many people are rushing to ask for it."

When someone helps, Jingwan is naturally happy.

There is another thing, "Grandmother, Prince Jin's wealth is really not taboo by the saints? Those things obviously come from all over the world, and it is impossible to get them without manpower and material resources."

"Since he dares to take it out, he is naturally not afraid of anything. Sometimes, he may not need to use his own people to do things, so you don't need to worry about it, Wanwan, he will handle these things himself."

"Grandmother seems to be... extraordinarily different to Prince Jin?" Not only grandmother, but also grandfather.

"He's about to become your husband, Wanwan."

Jingwan didn't quite believe that this was the reason. Grandma had something to hide from herself, but Jingwan didn't get to the bottom of it. She would understand some things one day.

Two more days later, the official invitation period, because the date of marriage has long been set, so the invitation period is just a passing.

Seven days before the first day of the first day, Jingwan's wedding dress was delivered, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, complete.

Because she was married into the royal family, all kinds of embroidery of clothes styles were exquisite, so Jing Wan's effort was saved.

It's just that the divorce is getting closer and closer, but Jingwan's dowry furniture has not been delivered yet.

Jingwan's furniture was prepared by Mrs. Luo in Qi'an Mansion a few years ago. In fact, not many dignitaries would buy this kind of large-scale furniture in the capital, not to mention that there are not many good woods near the capital, even if it is wood. The merchants delivered it, and the price was also very expensive. There were families with deep backgrounds, and which did not build furniture on their own sites.

Mrs. Luo was a little anxious, and repeatedly sent people to greet her from dozens of miles away, for fear of delays.

Fortunately, it finally arrived two days ago, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the dowry was going to be given the next day. If the most important part didn't arrive, it would be a joke.

Looking at the materials and workmanship of these large and small pieces of furniture, you can see that Mrs. Luo really made a lot of money when she asked people to make furniture for Jingwan. Compared with Sun Yijia's, it is even better.

It should be noted that Sun Yijia was born in Dingguo Gongfu. Dingguo Gongfu can be regarded as the first honorable person of Qiyuan, and the Sun family has a heritage of thousands of years, which is far behind the Luo family. It can be seen that Mrs. Luo is in Jingwan's house. The effort spent on the dowry.

Before coming to the capital, Jingwan didn't know about this, but when she saw it, she was naturally surprised and moved.

Sun Yijia built two sets of large pieces of furniture, except for the bunk bed, which were made of red sandalwood and golden nanmu. Other relatively small pieces also used other woods. In Jingwan, only these two kinds of furniture were used. The best wood.

Several daughters-in-law of the Luo family even suspected that Mrs. Luo had used up all the good wood she had accumulated over the years.

However, the so-called cannibalism is soft, and the hand is soft. Jingwan has obtained a lot of good things. After two days, she will marry into the palace, and her status will be even more noble. Jingwan is not a white-eyed wolf, and she will definitely return Pulling her mother's house is nothing but wood, so that sour mentality has disappeared.

The things that were shipped together were naturally not only furniture, but also some good things that the Luo family had accumulated over the past two or three hundred years.

At the same time, the dowry that the eldest princess had prepared for Jingwan was also sent over. There were a few cars, perhaps not as good as the "dowry" sent by Li Hongyuan, and it was first-class compared to other noble families One is good.

The people who sent things from Qi'an this time are all members of the Luo family. Although they are basically offshoots, they are somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Mrs. Luo gave all these good things to a girl. Knowing that she is married to the prince and wants to be a princess, that dissatisfaction has disappeared, and it can't fall into the Luo family's name no matter what.

Looking at this battle again, people who were a generation higher than Luo Peishan stopped talking. ——There is a princess in the Luo family, which is naturally a long-faced thing. The Luo clan all want to see the excitement and gain knowledge. There are many people who come. Just slowed down.

Fortunately, most of these people have immediate relatives in the capital, otherwise, the Luo family would definitely not be able to accommodate such people.

In the afternoon, people from Jingwan's grandfather's family also arrived quietly. Fortunately, not many people came. My grandparents, two

Uncle and two cousins, aunt and other cousins ​​and sisters did not come. Obviously, the two old people may have made a special trip for Jingwan's marriage. Uncle and cousin are more or less "pathfinder". .

Only after seeing the Zhang family did Jingwan know that it was Luo Rongyan who arranged for someone to pick them up. At this time, everyone was so busy hitting the back of their heads, and relatives in each room could only be accommodated in each room. Anyway, the Luojia Inn was also packed. A lot of them, just in case they want to see their in-laws, they can only wait for a while. Jingwan didn't know them very well either, and there was nothing they could do. They weren't from Qi'an Mansion either. They were in the same county as Qi'an Mansion.

There is no emotional foundation, and it is blood relatives. Jingwan can't do such a thing as "holding your head and crying". She can only ask for peace. Although there is a little embarrassment, Jingwan's eldest uncle is a well-rounded person. People, like this, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, but not long after, Aunt Jingwan's family also came to the door.

It just so happened that Mrs. Luo sent someone to look for her, and Jingwan left with an excuse.

Several people in the Zhang family are also good people. It is obvious that the Gu family and the second room of the Luo family are not very harmonious, but they did not pierce them in person.

Because a lot of things have been added, all of them have to be added to the dowry list, and those that should be boxed have to be boxed. In fact, they have been simplified and simplified. For example, the pearls, gems and other items sent by Li Hongyuan, and even the complete set of heads, are still complete. On the box theory, several things were lifted into one lift, and almost all the boxes were so full that a finger could not be inserted. Even so, it was still far more than one hundred and twenty-eight lifts. Finally, I thought of what Prince Jin did. , simply broke the jar and threw it, adding 20 lifts, more than Prince Kang married at the time. Anyway, it's not on Prince Kang's side, you don't need to give him face, if the sage asks you to blame, just let Prince Jin bear it.

As for the real estate and real estate for the dowry, the Luo family does not have a house in the capital, but when Mrs. Luo married Luo Peishan, there was a house of dozens of hectares, and she gave it to Jingwan. In addition, it was in Qi'an mansion, and the house was also dowry. There are a few places, but the location is not very good, but it is also a helpless thing.

It was busy until the evening when the talents of the Zhang family met with the two elders of the Luo family. The elders obviously knew what the eldest daughter had done, and the younger daughter... Before this daughter got married, she didn't seem to think that she had any bad temperament. Looking at it now, it's like making them faceless to their in-laws.

After a short time of contact, Jingwan discovered that her grandparents and uncles were all "normal people". Why are the daughters taught by the two elders more abnormal than the other?

The next morning, more and more people added makeup to Jingwan.
