When Yang Jinwen and others returned home, they saw his parents, sister and several children they had met before eating hot pot around the big dining table.
First, he ordered his servants to bring over some sets of dishes and chopsticks. After a few people washed their hands, they went directly to the dining table?
"Why are you eating so late? Didn't I tell you to eat first instead of waiting for us?" Yang Yuling stretched out her hand, which was Lulu's, and pinched her little sister's chubby face.
"I didn't wait for you. We have made dumplings. We have made ten covered dumplings. Dinner has not been postponed until now. How about it? Is the food cooked by the royal chef in the palace delicious? It's the same as the one we had last time.
How does it compare?" Yang Yuqing looked at her brother and sister curiously.
I heard that the food served to guests will be more delicious.
"It's all frozen into lumps of ice. Do you think it's a good time to eat ice cream?" Yang Yuling was speechless when she thought of the hard meals on the table.
"Is it so cold? Isn't it that exaggerated? Can it turn into a lump of ice?" Yang Yuqing felt that her sister was exaggerating.
"It takes almost a quarter of an hour to go from the imperial kitchen to the imperial garden, no matter how fast you walk. These things are not delivered immediately after they are finished. After they are cold and put on the table, frost will appear soon. The weather is too hot now.
This situation only occurs when you are cold." Duanmu Qiao looked at his sister-in-law who didn't believe you in a funny way, and explained to her.
"Isn't this too confusing? Should we invite people to eat ice cubes? Or should we eat cold dishes?" Yang Yuqing still found it a bit unbelievable. She went to the emperor's house for a banquet and actually had to eat cold food?
"It won't happen during the chrysanthemum viewing feast in autumn. It's just because the weather is too cold now." Duanmu Qiao knew that the little girl didn't understand, so he explained it to her carefully.
"Oh, I just think your brother is too weird. Why is the banquet held in the Imperial Garden in such a cold weather? It would be weird if he didn't freeze to death." Yang Yuqing still felt that the emperor was a bit tyrannical, otherwise he would be allowed to do so
Is it fun to go to the Royal Garden with a group of people and freeze?
"As long as it is a banquet hosted by the emperor and empress, it will be held in the imperial garden all year round." Duanmu Qiao explained while eating, don't forget to cook some meat for his little daughter-in-law.
"Tonight, the emperor directly announced at the palace banquet that you will be married on the second day of February together with the enthronement ceremony. Why didn't you come home to talk about this matter first?" Yang Jinwen just remembered that his sister is one month away.
She's about to get married.
"My mother has discussed this with Daddy Yang and the others, brother, don't you know?" Duanmu Qiao looked at Yang Jinwen with some confusion.
The four brothers and sisters Yang Yuqing and several children on the table all looked at Yang Zhengsong and his wife.
"Oh, I was so busy at the moment that I forgot about it, but I have already prepared the things that need to be prepared. I will wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to paste the big red "Happy" characters at home. The wedding clothes have been almost embroidered by someone.
Girl, you can just fill in some details when the time comes." Yang Zhengsong was indeed so busy that he forgot about this matter, but the things he ordered people to prepare are almost ready.
Because she was marrying into the palace and becoming a queen, they had to carefully consider the dowry.
"The dowry here contains food, right? Girl, what kind do you want? You have to take it out and show it to others." Yang Zhengsong didn't know what to do with the food in the dowry here.
?
"Daddy Yang, the grain in the dowry must be with the skin on, not the kind of rice noodles on the market that have already been peeled off." Sheng Jun wanted to laugh when he saw the look in Yang's eyes.
Only when he came here did he truly see what it was like to live in a world where even gods and immortals would not change it.
We ate with the Yang family. Today we all had polished rice and white noodles. Even if it was scary, the food we ate was ordinary rice and white noodles. Where can we find such a good job?
"Do you want leather ones? Okay, then I'll go get some leather ones to show off." Yang Zhengsong originally wanted to discuss with several children in his family about getting a dowry for their third child.
It's just that there are too many things in the study. Even when business is good, he can't leave the study. He can't stay busy and forget about it.
"You don't need to prepare too much, right? You don't need to prepare those wardrobes, beds, dressing tables, etc., right?" Yang Yuling, the person involved, was a little confused. Her mother only said that it was possible at any time, but she didn't say so soon.
"No need for that. I will give you all the things I saved before, and you can also put them in your dowry. My mother's dowry was one hundred and sixty-eight dows, and the former queen's was one hundred and ninety-eight dows. You can have as many as you like.
You don't need to be the same as them." Duanmu Qiao looked at the little daughter-in-law with a bit of fun, her whole face wrinkled together.
"Then let's prepare to carry one hundred and forty-eight. We can't overwhelm the Queen Mother." Yang Zhengsong made the final decision.
Shen Wen's sister looked at the beautiful sister in front of her with envy. One hundred and forty-eight dowries were carried. It will definitely be spectacular when the dowry is carried out. The most common dowry they have seen in the provincial capital is when the richest man in their provincial capital marries his daughter.
, there are ninety-nine dowry bearers, a long queue, which makes people envious just looking at it, let alone one hundred and forty-eight dowry bearers.
"Is it too much? The question is, what should be put in this one hundred and forty-eight basket?" Yang Yuling felt that she had to check, what was in the dowry?
"There are a lot of things to put in. Clothes and bedding should take up at least twenty tons. Jewelry and jade ornaments should take up sixty or seventy tons. Four boxes of gold bars, four boxes of silver ingots, and gold nuggets and gold nuggets to reward servants.
One box each of silver and gold. I’ll prepare twenty loads of grain and all kinds of rice and flour for you. After that, some other small items scattered here and there should be enough. You’ll just have to make up for whatever’s missing.”
Yang Zhengsong had already made a list before, and that was roughly it.
However, he will also refer to other people's dowry lists to see if there is anything missing.
"Dad, do you want to empty out the whole family?" Yang Yuling was speechless after hearing so many things. You don't need so many things to enter the palace.
"Stop looking down on your father. I can earn back these things in less than a year. How can you rob me?" Yang Zhengsong reached out and tapped his daughter's little head, and glared fiercely.
She glanced at it.
"I know, I know, you can do whatever you want with the dowry you gave me!" Yang Yuling was a little helpless. She had no choice but to nod. Anyway, there were a lot of things in her space, so whatever her father said would be what she wanted.
?Just think of it as making the old man happy.
When the meal was finished outside, the firecrackers went off and they stopped using their chopsticks.
"Oh my God, we have been eating this meal for two years." Yang Yuqing covered her mouth when she heard the firecrackers and giggled.
Everyone thought it was funny when she said she had eaten the same meal for two years, but she had eaten it from the end of last year to the beginning of this year. This was the first time she had such an experience.
"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year!"
"Daddy Yang, Nanny Yang, Happy New Year!"
"Okay, okay, come on, come on, one red envelope for each person."
Yang Zhengsong looked at the group of children in front of him and happily took out the red envelopes and gave one to each of them.
