This day is an auspicious day. Both the Liao and British princes' palaces are decorated, and everything that comes into view is festive red.
The entire British Duke's mansion is extremely busy, and the servants, maids, etc. in the mansion are even more busy. They have been busy for several days for the eldest lady's marriage.
This marriage was decided by the old British Duke Zhang Mao personally and the Duke of Liao. He took it very seriously and represented the marriage between the two wealthy families of the British Duke and the Duke of Liao.
It is said that at that time, the British Duke Zhang Mao wanted to marry his granddaughter, who is now the sister of the British Duke Zhang Lun, to Liu Jin. However, at that time, Liu Jin had already married Xu Waner of the Duke of Dingguo and Li Hui, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
granddaughter of the family.
Therefore, he did not marry his granddaughter to Liu Jin at that time. However, Zhang Mao still liked Liu Jin very much, so he took the initiative to arrange the marriage with Liu Jin.
The marriage was planned when the old man was still alive, but Liu Xin and Zhang Yun were still young at that time, so the old man left with regrets.
Before the old man passed away, he repeatedly told Zhang Lun that when the children grow up, this matter should be settled as soon as possible. From now on, the Zhang family and the Liu family will really wear the same pair of trousers.
After waiting for many years, the eldest lady has finally gotten married. The entire British government is extremely happy and busy.
Here in Zhang Yun's boudoir, Zhang Yun, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and garland, looked a little nervous. She couldn't help but want to laugh at the thought of marrying Liu Xin.
The two families interacted very frequently. Liu Xin and Zhang Yun had been playing together since childhood. Because Zhang Yun was two years older than Liu Xin, when she was a child, she would often beat Liu Xin and make Liu Xin cry.
.
But as she grew up, Zhang Yun became a lady. Because they had arranged to have a baby kiss, they often blushed and looked extremely embarrassed when they met.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?"
Just when Zhang Yun was crying thinking about how Liu Xin was beaten when he was a child, Zhang Cai'er, the maid next to him, looked at Zhang Yun who was in a daze, and quickly whispered with a smile: "Are you thinking about my uncle?"
"How dare you, Cai'er, to make fun of me? Let's see how I deal with you."
When Zhang Yun heard this, her face turned red immediately, and after saying that, she went to scratch Zhang Cai'er.
This Zhang Cai'er is also a descendant of the Zhang family, but she is the daughter of a collateral descendant. She has grown up with Zhang Yun since she was a child. She is Zhang Yun's personal maid, and she will marry Zhang Yun together in the future.
"Miss, miss, I heard that my uncle is currently studying at the Royal Military Academy. I guess you may not be able to beat him now."
"I'm not his enemy. Why should I fight with him? From now on we are husband and wife, and we need to love each other. And you are my personal maid, so I will marry him."
Zhang Yun curled her lips and said.
A top wealthy family like the Zhang family is very particular about marrying a daughter.
The dowry maids alone have a lot of specialties. There are personal maids, dowry maids, and housemaids. The status of these three types of maids is relatively high. In addition, there are also some maids who specialize in serving the master and doing rough work.
, old woman and so on, there may be dozens of them in total.
Like this Zhang Cai'er, she is a descendant of the Zhang family. She has been with Zhang Yun since she was a child. She is the most caring personal maid.
The personal maids have deep trust from their masters, just like Ping'er next to Wang Xifeng in the Red Mansion and Caiyun next to Mrs. Wang. They are both decent and noble maids. People who are trustworthy usually dare to make jokes with their masters.
The main thing she is responsible for is to help her master manage money. The other maids around her are equivalent to the role of her natal family. When she gets married, at least there is someone to chat with to relieve boredom. In addition, she can also convey the message to her natal family.
Related information, whether this young lady is doing well after marrying her or not.
Of course, sometimes you have to serve your master's uncle. If you can give your master a son and a half, you can become a concubine and be responsible for helping your master gain status and so on.
Sometimes the master cannot give birth to a child, and the child born by the personal maid may even become a legitimate son.
As the name suggests, the maidservant of the eldest daughter-in-law is a maid trained by a wealthy family since she was a child to serve her uncle. Sometimes when the lady is inconvenient, it is time for the maidservants to work hard. Such maids are often easily transformed into
Concubine's.
As for the dowry maid, this is purely a dowry. This type of maid usually grew up with the master. The maid who serves the master has a good relationship with the master. The dowry is dedicated to serving the master.
After all, I am more accustomed to using it since I was a child.
"Humph~ If you marry me, just marry me. You have no choice. Who made you the master? What's more, my uncle is both talented and beautiful, and he won't suffer any disadvantages."
When Zhang Cai'er heard this, she immediately blushed and said.
"Are you ashamed~"
Zhang Yun immediately said with a smile. There were more than a dozen maids standing beside the two of them. These were all going to accompany the dowry. Some of them were quite good-looking, with exquisite appearance, figure, appearance, etc.
The one I chose, I could tell at a glance that it was a maid-in-law who had been raised by the British government since she was a child, as a dowry maid.
If you take a closer look, you will see that many of them have blond faces and blue eyes, and are not from the Ming Dynasty.
Since the imperial court strictly prohibited the buying and selling of people from the Ming Dynasty, and the living standards of the people of the Ming Dynasty have become increasingly higher, the sale of sons and daughters has naturally become less and less common.
But wealthy families still need servants, maids, etc., what should they do?
Of course, they were bought from outside. North Korea and Japan still allowed the buying and selling of human beings. Many people sold their sons and daughters. Many children were sold to the Ming Dynasty and were bought back by wealthy families as girls. The servants raised them from childhood.
They were kept and trained, and the white slaves from Europe were also liked by everyone.
There are many little girls who were bought here when they were young. Nowadays, people, maids and other things are well-provided for. Although their faces are different from Ming Dynasty people, in other aspects they are full-fledged Ming Dynasty people.
"Miss, my uncle is here~"
At this time, a maid hurriedly walked in, and the time had come.
Soon, the entire British government was busy. Liu Xin led a huge wedding team to the British government palace to marry Zhang Yun.
After some complicated etiquette, the mighty procession marched from the British Palace to the Liao Palace.
There were dozens of Mercedes-Benz cars at the beginning, followed by a huge dowry.
The Duke of Liao gave a betrothal gift of tens of millions of taels, while the Duke of England gave a dowry of tens of millions of taels.
Box after box of gold, silver and jewelry made the strong men carrying these boxes sweat and grimace. It was too heavy.
Antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, jade, jade, pearls and agate, all the precious items you have seen and never seen are all packed into boxes. The boxes are filled to the brim, lined up in an endless stretch, as if It was as if a mountain of gold and silver had been moved out.
There are more than a dozen plantations in Nanyang, more than a dozen pastures and manors in the Western Regions, Nanyun Province, Hezhong and other regions, several gold and silver mines on the Golden Island, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
There are also several factories, several trading houses, a large number of stocks, real estate, shops, etc. in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. There are more than a dozen large boxes containing these industrial documents.
Whatever it is, it is a huge family property, enough for ordinary people to pass on from generation to generation and support many generations. However, this is only one of the most common dowry properties.
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the top wealthy family in our Ming Dynasty. This dowry is simply as rich as the country. You must know that the tax revenue of many vassal states and vassal states in our Ming Dynasty may not be that much in a year."
"That's right. We don't even care about whose family we are marrying our daughter to. This is a British father-in-law."
"Of course, it depends on who you marry. If you marry an ordinary school captain, there will definitely not be such a huge dowry. The person you marry is the Duke of Liao, the current chief minister of the cabinet, Liu The father-in-law’s son, this is completely different.”
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a huge dowry."
"Yes, this random thing is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for several lifetimes."
"Last time, Mr. Liu Ge's son got married. The scene was already huge, but it was far from what we are seeing now."
"There is no comparison between that one. That time, Liu Gong's second son married the daughter of an ordinary merchant. Of course, there is a huge difference."
"If I can marry such a rich young lady, I will have food and drink for ten lifetimes."
"Hurry up and dream, there is everything in your dream."
"Tsk, tsk, look, even the maids who are doing the wedding are all stunning. Any one of them is so good-looking. This Liu Xin is very lucky."
"I'm jealous, but I can only be envious. Who can let me have a father who is the Duke of Liao and the chief minister of the cabinet..."
