The first quarter of September 14th is an auspicious time, and Jinxi's dowry will be delivered to Yinzhen's courtyard in the east third courtyard of the palace according to the auspicious time.
Therefore, from the third quarter of the lunar month, Ulanala Mansion began to be busy carrying out the dowry.
There are a hundred and twenty loads, and each load is packed to the brim.
The 88-carat bag walking in the front is a must-have item for the dowry.
Including ready-made clothes and quilts, cloth and needlework, copper basins and barrels, medicines and equipment, daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, soft items such as washing and bathing, as well as necessary furniture and ornaments.
In fact, Minrong was afraid that the dowry would be too much to put down, so she made full use of the exquisite furniture made of rosewood.
Large cabinets such as four-door cabinets and double-door cabinets are neatly stacked with Jinxi and Yinzhen’s new winter clothes and thick quilts, while drawers of drawers, bedside tables and other small pieces of furniture are filled with gifts for later.
It also has various spare silk handkerchiefs and purses, as well as whole boxes of clothing, shoes and socks, whole boxes of jewelry, dozens of rouges and other toiletries.
Among them, there are dressing tables and washstands inlaid with glass mirrors, high-quality bed made of Ruan Yanluo gauze curtains, modular bookshelves with glass cabinets, storage cabinets... These are novel and expensive new furniture.
, which made the neighbors watching the excitement along the street sigh for a while.
The next thirty-two are the bride's family's makeup gifts. Generally, the financial resources of the bride's family determine the level of the makeup gift.
The first is the dowry representing the house and property.
Including Huaguo Winery under the name of Jinxi, Xunfang Cloth Art Museum, Xiteng Tea House, two farms, two villas and two shops owned by Fei Yanggu Tianzhuang.
Later, there were gifts from Fei Yanggu’s colleagues and friends, and Minrong’s best friend. Although the number was small, they were very fine. The gifts mainly covered clothing and use. The clothes included fine fabrics, various jewelry, and use.
The other items include large and small ornaments, chess, calligraphy, paintings and other related items.
Although the dowry gifts from the three parties of the Yi Alliance cannot be carried all the way to the palace openly, the few ornaments, including blue and white porcelain vases, fine bone china tableware for ten people, high-quality purple clay pots and tea sets, etc., are also included in the dowry.
But because of the generous gifts, every lift is real. Stuff it as much as you can, and tie it as much as you can.
As for those that cannot be accommodated, including Jinxi's personal belongings, including newly made uniforms, favorite books and other odds and ends, Minrong has already asked the maids in the small building to pack the boxes one by one. They will wait until the wedding day on September 15th.
The servants will carry him into the palace along with the sedan chair. Otherwise, eight more lifts may not be enough.
As a result, the mighty wedding procession gradually extended from the entrance of Feiyanggu's mansion to the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City. When viewed from the sky, it looked like a long winding red dragon, which truly confirmed the saying of "Ten Miles of Red Makeup".
"Sigh. With such a fuss, I won't be able to go out for several days." Jin Xi lay on the north window on the second floor of the small building, leaning her chin and murmured. Such a high-profile wedding procession was enough to make the common people in the capital want to go out again.
We talked for a while, until the next gossip topic came.
And she, as a topical figure, naturally had to stay away.
However, she couldn't help but run around freely. She was going to marry into the palace tomorrow, and she didn't know when she would be able to wander around freely after entering the palace.
However, fortunately, she did not enter the palace as a concubine. As for Prince Fujin, as long as Yinzhen opens his teeth and builds a palace, she, the mistress, will be free.
But then again, this is the first time Minrong and Fei Yanggu are marrying a daughter, so it is understandable that they are so busy preparing the dowry for fear of being looked down upon by their colleagues.
Put another way, if he marries his daughter in the future, it will definitely cause a stir than this time...
Jin Xi thought this way, and her originally somewhat sad expression immediately turned into a chuckle that escaped her lips. What came to mind was the scene of herself preparing a dowry for her daughter twenty years later. Unfortunately, in ancient times, there was no such thing as
Can your wedding dream come true...
"Gege, Grandma Xing is looking for you." Before she could think about it, Jiangrui's request for instructions sounded outside the room.
"Come right now." She replied loudly, closed the north window, and put away the draft papers piled on the desk. She was thinking of a name for the group's head office. Before parting with Yinzhen last time, he gave
One of her tasks is to give the head office a loud and catchy name. No, it has been over ten days and she still hasn’t decided which one to use.
After all, it involves a lifetime, oh, maybe more than that. As the children and grandchildren develop and grow, it may be an industry for several lifetimes. You can't just give it a very ordinary name.
But I read countless books and thought of countless names, but in the end I rejected them one by one. Either they were too vulgar, they were too vulgar, either they were used by too many people, or they were too unfamiliar and I worried that people wouldn’t recognize them...
"Aunt Xing, are you looking for me?" Jin Xi straightened her clothes, checked her headdress and face, and found nothing unusual before going down to the second floor.
Aunt Xing is no better than A Niang. Once she finds that her clothes are not neat or her hair is not neat and tidy, she can't get over it with just a few nagging words.
"Yes. I came here today to ask Gege about the candidates for the four maids for the dowry. Has Gege decided? After all, tomorrow is..." Aunt Xing also saw that Jinxi had not decided on the dowry candidates in the past few days, so she had no choice but to take the initiative.
Asked.
Yes, the number of servants for Prince Fujin is eight maids and four women. Yinzhen already has four maids, and four more maids and four women are needed for the dowry. Now, Jiangrui is definitely a first-class maid.
want
To follow her into the palace, Feng does not belong to the ranks of maids at all. Most of the time, she hides in the dark to protect her. Therefore, she needs to choose from the four orchids (Zhilan, Peilan, Dailan, Fulan).
One person is missing.
"Let's do this, I will definitely take Jiangrui away. In addition, Zhilan, Peilan and Fulan will go with me, and Dailan will go to Mo'er to help. Mo'er complained to me a while ago that there is not enough manpower, Dai
Lan's arithmetic is the best among the four, so let her assist Mo'er."
Jinxi thought about it and picked Dailan. Although Huaguo Winery had enough staff, there was only one shopkeeper. She had long wanted to train a second shopkeeper, but the matter of naming her was delayed a few days ago.
, and just forgot about it.
Fortunately, Grandma Xing reminded me, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to find out that there is an extra maid when I get on the sedan chair tomorrow.
"That's done. I know what I'm doing. As for the mother-in-law, Princess said last time that I would let you choose. I have a few candidates, but I don't know if they are suitable for me. Please tell me if they are suitable. Please check them. One of them is the same as me.
He was also released from the palace two years ago, and his family also
There is no one else, so I want help from someone who understands the rules in the palace, and it will be easier for Gege. The other two are new recruits from Fujin. They are not very old, only in their early thirties, with nimble hands and feet, a calm temperament, and a decent appearance.
, after half a year of getting along, I think it’s pretty good, too.”
"It's good for Grandma to take good care of her. After all, these people will have to be controlled by Grandma in the future." Jin Xi smiled and reassured Grandma Xing. Since Grandma Xing was allowed to choose her partner from the beginning, at this time, she
I won’t give any more advice. I believe that with Grandma Xing’s stability and shrewdness, nothing will go wrong.
Aunt Xing smiled and nodded, "I know that Gege is busy with many things. I can help with these small things and will not shirk them. Everything else is fine. Gege has worked hard these days. Let's rest early tonight. Tomorrow
My son has the good looks to deal with those women in the Ministry of Internal Affairs... I will resign now."
Jinxi nodded, "Let everyone rest early today. I will definitely make you tired tomorrow."
After seeing off Nanny Xing, Jinxi called Dailan and told her her plan. Seeing that she had no objections and a faint sense of joy, knowing that she was satisfied with her arrangement, she
Don't worry.
Then he called the other three orchids and Jiang Rui, beat them up, and talked about all the rules after entering the palace. Fortunately, these people were selected by themselves, regardless of temperament or
I was reassured by my abilities, so I stopped talking.
In this way, it took almost a morning for the dowry to be delivered to Yinzhen's courtyard in Dongsansuo, and almost an afternoon for Jinxi's dowry to be finally finalized. In the evening, Minrong dragged her along and nagged her for a while...
Just waiting to get married tomorrow...
It is undeniable that she has some expectations in her heart. However, this feeling of longing and reluctance cannot be told to Minrong, lest she will repeat words like "women are not allowed to stay in college"...
Ah! Mom, your daughter is about to get married. The person she is marrying is not an ordinary person, she is the son of Kangxi. If it were a modern day, you would have laughed in your dream... But I don’t know if you have dreamed about it.
My daughter... If you dream about it, you must remember that the daughter
My son, I live a very good life here. I have a pair of parents who love my daughter, a pair of brothers who dote on my sister, and several lovely younger siblings... The key is that my daughter's future husband is also very good to me. To be honest with you,
He is Ying Hao, the president of Ying's Shipping, awesome, right?
In short, you can rest assured. Although my daughter no longer dares to imagine what her modern body will look like, but as long as you are healthy and safe, my daughter will also rest assured. Just treat our family as two places.
Let's separate...
In this room, Jin Xi muttered about her family members who were far away in the 21st century for a while before going to bed. In that room, Yinzhen was also sighing...
"Tsk, tsk, this girl really emptied her house..."
After the entire South Hall was filled to the brim with Jinxi's dowry, and the remaining gifts were all registered and put into the warehouse, Yinzhen went around a long circle and admired the 120-carat gift.
After receiving the generous dowry, I couldn't help but laugh and sigh.
"Sir, are you looking for us?" At this time, Yinzhen's old maids Xihe and Xizhu pointed to the two new maids Ximei and Xiju after the marriage, as well as the two eunuchs around Yinzhen.
They were all standing outside the hall door, waiting for Yinzhen's instructions.
"Well, I'm getting married tomorrow, you two, please be smart and don't make any mistakes..." A series of beatings and warnings came from Yinzhen's mouth to the ears of several people present, making them tremble.
.It seems that it is a sure thing that the master likes the future Fujin. Naturally, they have to be careful to serve the future mistress...
In this way, the two parties were still busy until the end of the month. (To be continued)
