No one in Xilin Jueluo's family was happy, but they still had to smile to the people in the palace.
After accepting the order, we looked at each other, what should we do next?
Prepare the dowry!
The Xilin Jueluo family is not prominent, and there are some close family members, but not many. The key is that everyone knows the physical condition of the sixth elder brother. So, even if you become the Liufu Jin, how much advantage can everyone take advantage of?
Congratulations should be congratulated, and glory is an honor, right? But it is a bit difficult to ask everyone to devote all their efforts to save face for you.
Every family is doing it for their own good, and this family will give away two units, and that family will give away two units. The alley is not small, but there is a board in it, and the things are really only half the amount.
Prince Fujin, who is like this, should be better prepared than facing Si Fujin! Otherwise, it would be too unsightly.
What Obai means is that we should not be in a hurry. "The child is still young and we have to wait two years to get married. These two years are enough."
He frowned and discussed with the old man at home, "If it doesn't work out, we have to borrow some silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The girl from the deputy capital's Faka family has proposed to marry the seventh elder brother."
She holds a second-grade official position and has a prominent family background, so this dowry is not a small sum.
"Zhang Bao's official position is not high, but he lives in an earl's palace and has a prosperous family." The fifth elder brother has a good family, so he will be a powerful man in the future! The family only borrows money, and this is a kind of payment that can be expected in return.
My family is so helpless.
Tu Yan suddenly frowned, it's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his granddaughter, it really hurts! After all, he only has two granddaughters and one grandson. The eldest granddaughter is still married far away. She only got married last year. Because she married far away, she paid a lot for her dowry. Now she borrows debt again.
Dowry? My grandson also wants to take the imperial examination and become an official, so there are many places to spend money.
It's easy to borrow money, even if there is no mention of marriage, you will be given a loan even if you go there.
But, firstly, I am worried that it is easier to borrow than to repay. Secondly, it will not look good if word spreads about it! A simple dowry does not look good on the face, but if you borrow money to accompany a dowry, it will look good on the face if word gets out.
When Hubei heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case.
But even if they wait two years to get married, they still won't be able to raise a dowry for Prince Fujin.
Just when I was at a loss what to do, someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came and said that the wedding date had been set, and it was set on September 15th, saying that this day was a good day.
But it's already early August, and autumn has already begun. What does it mean to marry your daughter after one and a half months?
I stuffed my wallet and went over to ask around to see if there was any inside information. But they were very tight-lipped. They took your money and only gave it up for two days. On August 21st, the fifth elder brother got married. At the beginning of October
The third and seventh elder brother got married.
The advantage of organizing the weddings of the three princes together is that the dowry preparations can all be planned. Time is too tight.
But the downside is that people dare not think about it. To prepare for the wedding so quickly, it can only be because the sixth brother's health is not good again.
This is something you can almost guess without asking.
What should I do? Can I not get married? Can I find a way to get through life?
No! Even if the person is gone now, we still have to guard the house and send the person in later.
Instead of doing this, why not hurry up and get married, maybe there will be a turn for the better? If they get married, they will get better, and their children will have a good life. If it is really gone... I don't dare to think about it.
The whole family was really anxious and angry.
Tongtong thought of the mark on her chest that could not be removed, and began to look forward to the palace. She thought so about the dowry, "Amma is the prince of the country, and my brother will also pursue an official career in the future. In terms of nobleness,
, Is there anything more valuable than books in this world? If there are not enough books, books will be collected. No matter what kind of book it is, whether it is a collection of classics and history, a miscellany of travel notes, or even a collection of economic and medical books, just buy whatever you come across. New books.
Decent, no one dares to say that old books are worthless..."
Mainly because she wanted to find medical books, she felt she was sick!
That's what she thought, but her family didn't think so. After hearing this, she talked a lot and only left two words: "Nonsense!"
Tongtong said, "In the palace, it is enough to have furniture and the like. There is no need for much else. Isn't it more respectable to keep the money than to exchange it for stupid things? Besides, other people bring books that are neither fish nor fowl, but my daughter doesn't
Is it the same? Brother Six is in poor health. We are looking for medical books on the streets to give me as a dowry. How can others criticize me? We don’t want other people’s original copies. It’s good to have handwritten copies. These things can’t be measured with money.
, what do you think?”
It makes sense!
So, I really went out shopping all over the world.
Sozoluo looked at his daughter's face, which had lost a lot of weight. After all, he did not dare to say anything unlucky. He only said: "No matter how bad things are, you are still a royal family, and you are indispensable..."
No matter how much you say, it will really be a taboo! I am afraid that I will say something bad and curse my uncle in vain.
The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a nanny and two palace maids. A nanny always smiled when she saw anyone, "My surname is Zhang, please be safe for me."
"Mom, please get up." Tongtong said, and looked at the mama again, "Where did mama work as an errand before?" Why does she look so familiar?
"Girl, this old slave once worked as an errand in Yonghe Palace."
The people around De Fei.
After she rewarded her with the money, she looked towards the two girls behind her.
"Slave Cherry, please give my regards to the girl."
"Slave Narcissus pays your respects to the girl."
Tongtong took a brief look at the two girls, gave the two girls a reward, and then sent them off to rest. These people had been there before the wedding, but the real servants were not using them for the time being.
Mr. Suo Chuo Luo and the old lady Shu Mulu were worried. They had never thought of bringing their child into the palace. The grandmothers and maids in the family would not be able to show up. How could it be a good thing if they were taken out?
But this nanny is optional, so Tongtong said not to take her with her! It would be inappropriate to bring nanny back again. She always felt that she either had a strange disease or that she had a secret. She was too close to someone.
Not good to carry.
It's just the girl who usually serves you, just take her with you. They are both born in the same family, and their parents, brothers and whole family are all members of the family, so that's enough.
The family hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly, but in the end they managed to collect enough for the dowry.
Zhuangzi only had one to three hundred acres, and he had a house with servants to take care of it. There was one shop in the suburbs of Beijing, which was not very valuable. Then there were furniture, jewelry, medicinal materials, fur and cloth, which were arranged in a messy order.
The rest is basically filled with books.
When it comes to the dowry silver at the bottom of the box, I can only give two hundred taels of silver in pieces, for the convenience of giving rewards. The rest is three hundred taels of silver notes, of small value.
Sozo Luoshi put them away for his daughter, "Take these first, I'll think of something later, and then I'll give you some money."
Apart from nodding in agreement, it is inappropriate to say anything else.
September 15th came very quickly, I was busy every day, and before I felt that the day had passed, the wedding was here. First, there were betrothal gifts from the Ministry of Ceremonies, not to mention the betrothal gifts from the royal family, they were all flashy things. But the royal ones
Well, we can't keep this, we still have to carry it back to the palace intact. But this can save a few, so I quickly folded the half-box into a box to make it look better.
After the betrothal gift is over, the first part of the wedding is very complicated. You have to start working three days in advance.
First, the woman's relatives come to add to the gift! Of course, for someone who wants to marry into the royal family, the clan will send people over to bring gifts, such as money or jewelry, out of a good relationship.
Well, with this addition, the dowry will look better and a few boxes of things can be squeezed into it.
Anyway, I didn’t leave anything at home, I just took away everything I could.
The next day, the dowry was brought to the palace, so it was time to show off the dowry!
The young man was wearing a cloak and standing in the yard to entertain the brothers. The eldest brother only came and sat for a while and then left. He was busy. The second brother hadn't come yet, but he thought he had finished his work and would come over in a while. The third brother was teasing those books, no.
When the other person opens his mouth, he feels that the other person's dog cannot spit out ivory.
This is not right! It feels like his illness is not in his body, but in his brain.
When I turned my face, I saw the fourth brother sitting on the edge, just sitting there without touching the tea. Then I heard the third brother say, "Fourth brother, you are silent when you come here, what do you mean?"
I don’t mean to memorize it. The fourth brother is in the stage of changing his voice. His voice is unpleasant and he doesn’t want to speak.
Just after thinking this, he frowned again. It was as if he had been brothers with these people for several lifetimes. It's not good to guess other people's thoughts like this!
This is indeed abnormal and is a disease.
Then he turned his attention to those books. In the palace, he didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with so many medical books. There were imperial doctors for consultation, and he also had a master to follow to complete his homework. Medical books were something he always wanted to read, but he couldn't blatantly ask people to do so.
Let's take a look. Because of his poor health, the emperor and his mother would know the slightest disturbance, but he couldn't move much.
No matter what the purpose of Fujin, who was accused of being married, he got these books, it was a mistake.
The fifth brother had just married Fujin, and he seemed to have become an adult all of a sudden. His face was extremely serious, and he asked, "Can I leave the palace tomorrow to welcome the bride?"
It was impossible! But on the day of the wedding, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, a circle of strange things, and the two words "Wu Tong" engraved on something, so he felt that he should go and welcome him.
.
Today, Grandma Zhang entered the palace with her dowry. When she had some free time, she talked about this girl from Xilin Jueluo's family, "She has an elegant temperament, is friendly and has a good temper. She is a good steward of the house. Don't you know that every day?
All she has to do is listen to the accounts. If the housekeeper makes a mistake by one or two cents, she can tell it. This old slave can really see things. You don’t need to pull the beads on the abacus, you can tell by hearing them."
The young man heard it. Anyway, this was good and that was good, but he didn't say he looked good.
Grandma Zhang really thought that the second girl was very good, so she added: "Although the girl is not outstanding in needlework, her cooking skills are outstanding. She is also filial and often makes soups for the elderly at home..."
"
The young man looked out the window. If you praise too much, it would be false. What you see is naturally good. But people always have different emotions and desires. "What does she like to eat? What does she play? What are her hobbies?" Without these, they are not like each other.
A truly genuine person.
Grandma Zhang thought for a while and said: "I often see girls staring at the parasol trees in the yard. She even specially told Mr. Ebai that she was out of line. Don't let anyone touch that tree. It's just like that.
Bar……"
The young man finally took his eyes out of the window, turned his face to look at Nanny Zhang, and murmured: "Wutong... Wutong..."
Those two words happened to appear on the wedding day!
Is this because the sick mind likes to think nonsense? Or is it because of some kind of confusion?
Really! Sometimes he felt that he was not sick, but like he was out of his mind. Only after the wedding that day, for a moment of pain, his mind was particularly clear. But for that moment, what was in his mind?
After the thing flashed by, he was the same again! It's not surprising.
Therefore, I still have to go to the wedding tomorrow. Even if I don’t ride a horse, I still have to go in a carriage!
