In this era, the main items for marrying a daughter were various wooden utensils, which needed to be made in advance according to the size of the new house.
For other items, just spend money to buy them.
Lei Jinyu didn't even ask for paper or pen. If Ergen felt that Luo Shi was talking about an object, he would use his mind to remember it...
When Irgenjueluo asked again, Lei Jinyu could open his mouth and tell the location, size and materials of the corresponding object, which was really admirable.
"Madam, some lacquerware has a rather pungent smell. You need to fully open the doors and windows and let it ventilate for more than four months before the smell will fade." Lei Jinyu's words reminded Ergen Jueluo.
Ilgenjue Luo thought for a moment and then ordered: "Master Lei, try to use less strong-smelling paint, and it's best not to use it at all."
What she couldn't say was that Xiuyun was too old. If she had to wait four more months, she would be very close to turning twenty.
Lei Jinyu smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, you have so many red sandalwood trees in your home, you don't need to paint them at all. They are all in the same style, but they show extra dignity and style."
Think about it, even the washbasin and the official room are made of rosewood. How luxurious must this be?
According to the prior agreement, the Fucha family will provide the lumber for the new house in Longkodo and will be responsible to the end.
Over at the old Tong family's Duke's Mansion, the new house in Xianchang Courtyard, all the furnishings and objects are Tong Guowei's business.
When Lei Jinyu stood in the wood warehouse of Lao Tong's family, he was simply stunned.
Good guy, the huge warehouse is filled with rosewood, huanghuali, red rosewood, and even golden nanmu.
Seeing Lei Jinyu staring at the golden nanmu in trance, Tong Guowei couldn't help twirling his beard and said with a proud smile: "The emperor loves me as his uncle and gave me ten pieces of golden nanmu to make longevity materials for me."
Longevity material is an elegant way of saying coffin.
Others don't know it, how can Lei Jinyu not know it? The longevity material of golden nanmu can only be used by the emperor, not even the hereditary prince is not qualified to use it.
If it is used, it is a serious violation of the rules. According to the law, even the deceased who has been buried must be dug up and the coffin destroyed. Whoever is in charge of the living descendants will lose their head.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually gave Tong Guowei as many as ten roots. Lei Jinyu was secretly speechless. The emperor treated the Tong family with sincere love.
"I have a lot of treasures here. Master Lei, just use them as much as you want. If there are not enough, I will be shameless and go to the emperor to ask for rewards." Tong Guowei's words, although he said them very calmly, were full of arrogance in his bones. This is the style of an uncle and father-in-law!
Lei Jinyu has personally taken people to measure the dimensions of Xianchang Yuan. There are twenty rooms in total, so there must be a lot of materials.
Under normal circumstances, no one dares to use rosewood to build all furniture. Because rosewood is too expensive and cannot be used.
However, after Lei Jinyu looked at several wood warehouses of Lao Tong's family, he honestly shut up.
Judging from the inventory of Lao Tong's family, let alone twenty rooms, even one hundred rooms are more than enough.
Because there were two new houses that needed to be built with furniture, after Lei Jinyu returned, he divided his carpenters into two groups. One group went to the Long family to work, and the other group went to the Duke's Mansion of the old Tong family.<
/p>
In everything, I am afraid of comparison.
No matter how bad Li Si'er is, no matter how petty he is, he treats Yuzhu with all his heart.
On the first day the craftsmen of the Lei family class entered the factory, Li Si'er generously rewarded each of them five taels of silver.
Li Si'er said in public that if the quality is high, there will be a huge reward.
No one is stupid, and a reward of real money is much better than an empty promise.
These craftsmen all belong to lowly origins, and their ancestors must have been lowly craftsmen for generations.
Objectively speaking, the great eunuch Liang Jiugong can still be a fourth-grade supervisor and attendant. He is an official.
The status of these cheap craftsmen is much lower than that of eunuchs. Don’t they just want money in their wallets?
Because the craftsmen were coming in and out all day long, Li Si'er was worried about the scandal of an affair between craftsmen and maids, so he ordered Grandma Liu to find someone to put up several layers of curtains, covering the courtyard of Yuzhu's new house and the entire inner courtyard.
Separated.
Aunt Liu and Lei Jinyu made it very clear that anyone who dared to climb over several layers of curtains, no matter who they were, would be beaten to death and thrown into Wudaokou to feed wild dogs.
Well, in Longkodo’s house, killing a few craftsmen with ulterior motives is simply not a big deal.
Under the barrier of three layers of curtains, there is absolutely no possibility of taking the wrong path. There must be evil intentions.
Behind the curtain are actually just the wolf Daxue and Da Meng hovering in the sky.
Da Meng is the golden eagle raised by Niu Tai!
The yard of Yuzhu's new house is really too big, so too many nursing staff are assigned and they have to work in two shifts. The labor cost is too high and it is unrealistic.
Originally, Xiuyun thought that Yuzhu would give advice on the furnishings and layout of the new house.
However, Yuzhu remained silent from beginning to end, relying entirely on Xiuyun to make the decision.
Irgen Jueluo was extremely satisfied with Yuzhu, his son-in-law.
"Little Princess, after you get married, be more gentle and courteous to our uncle. After all, you are three years older than him. There is no harm in being a little more tolerant." Irgenjue Luo Shi said sincerely and sincerely as someone who has been through this experience.
Teach Xiuyun.
"Enie, I know. When Ama is angry, you will never bear it. When Ama is in a good mood, you can settle the accounts with him." Xiuyun said the wise words with a smile.
"Die Ge Ge, have you become more capable? Do you even dare to talk about A Ma and E Ni's gossip?" Ergen Jueluo raised his hand and poked Xiu Yun on the forehead, scolding his daughter, but with a smile on his face. Very strong.
"After our Manchu aunts get married, if they want to live a good life, they must hold the man firmly in their hands." Irgenjueluo lowered his voice and taught her husband-taming experience.
Irgenjueluo family was born in a small family. Due to her good luck, she was recommended by the emperor for marriage and married into the Fucha family.
Objectively speaking, Ilgenjueluo has been tortured by her mother-in-law for many years and suffered many losses, but she has always been invincible. The key is to capture Changde's heart.

"Li Si'er, that's the most famous shabby settlement in Mansijiu City. For so many years, she has been unable to enter the gate of the Tong family's Duke's Mansion, so it's inevitable that she feels a little resentful." Ergen Jueluo said with a smile. , "Back then, when I married you, Mama, your Mama was really picky, asking me to set rules in front of her every day."
"Isn't it just to establish rules? Just follow them obediently. If you do it with your man's wife in front of your man, it will definitely not end well." Irgen Jueluo suddenly showed a mysterious smile. "After setting the rules for two months, one day, I was really tired. Alas, I fell to the ground while I was washing your feet."
Xiuyun couldn't help but open her little cherry mouth and stared blankly at Irgen Jueluo Shi, ah, isn't this too awesome?
"Hehe, your Ama found out about my sufferings, and since then, you have tried every means to help me cover up. Hehe, my life has been much better now." Ergen Jueluo leaned back comfortably and continued. Here is a secret tip: "If you want to win your man's heart, you must stand in his shoes and think more about him. However, you must bear the hardships in the open, and you cannot secretly swallow it all by yourself. The man is still stupid. If you foolishly think you are enjoying happiness, aren’t you suffering in vain?”
"Our uncle is a young Manchu scholar with a prominent family background. His father, grandfather, and uncles are all senior officials of the second rank or above. Even though he has a peaceful temperament, he is somewhat arrogant in his bones. You must not play tricks with this kind of man. Just say it directly, especially because we can't always ask him to help more because of our family's affairs." Irgenjue Luo Shi showed a proud smile, "You must remember my last words, even if you kill me, you can't. Forget. As long as you hang around him all day long, plan everything for him, and serve him with all your heart, he will feel comfortable. Hey, by that time, the more you don’t make demands, your Ama and I, your brother, and even you will He will take good care of his uncle, understand?"
Seeing Xiuyun looking at her with half-understanding, Ergen Jueluo took his daughter's little hand, patted it gently, and said softly: "When I first got married, you Guo Luomafa was just a low-income person. It’s just the eighth-grade writing style. Now, with your strong support from Mafa, you Guo Luomafa has become a member of the fifth-grade Yuanwailang. Alas, I have never asked you Mafa, please him Try your best to find connections and promote me, Amma. My silly princess, do you understand now?"
"Not fighting is the biggest fight!" Irgen Jueluo made the final conclusion, "The more effort you put into fighting, the more counterproductive it will be. Remember, a man dislikes you not only because of his lustful nature, but also because of your hands.
A credit to the drive away!"
A truly wealthy family with rich heritage is not just about having lots of money and great connections.
How many of the parents who work as essayists in small towns or are the flowers of the county understand this great insight of Irgenjueluo?
The so-called paints in this era were mainly made of tung oil. After heating and boiling, some ingredients were added to it. If you need yellow, put azurite, if you need cyan, if you need green, put azurite or azurite.
The vermilion on the big pillars in the palace is a pigment made by boiling tung oil and mixing it with precious cinnabar.
Tung oil and pigments are not chemical paints that add a lot of benzene series. Even if there is formaldehyde, it is almost negligible.
However, it does not contain formaldehyde and has a pungent smell.
The Fucha family was in a hurry to marry off their old lady. As a result, all the furniture in the two new houses were of pure natural color without any paint.
Under the auspices of Lei Jinyu, even the slightly old beams and columns could only be brushed with tung oil a few times.
Tung oil also has a pungent smell. However, it is much lighter than the smell of paint and pigment.
Lei Jinyu's level of skill is really not just a boast. In just one month, he built the entire household.
After the night ban, the prepared household items were loaded onto dozens of large vehicles and dragged back to Fucha's house without anyone noticing.
When a girl of this era gets married, the longer the dowry line, the more prestigious she is.
Ordinary official families pay attention to two-mile red makeup, while wealthy families pay attention to ten-mile red makeup. Previously, the ninth princess had twenty-mile red makeup when she left the princess mansion.
Irgenjueluo Shi is a very wise person, but she only made one hundred and twenty-eight dowries.
