Baicao's dowry incorporated betrothal gifts, palace rewards and dowry, from twenty-four to forty-eight.
In addition, in order to not attract attention, every dowry box of the Bai family is not only real, but also larger than the normal box cage, otherwise ten more boxes will not be able to fit in it.
Of course, this is because some things are customized in the capital.
The villagers were filled with envy as they watched the boxes of dowries leaving the Bai family, sighing that this was the real Shili Hongzhuang.
The flowing banquet was still going on, and the Bai family invited the escort agency to escort the dowry together and slowly headed towards the capital.
Beijing, Yang Mansion.
Although only Mrs. Yang and Yang Fan are left in the Yang family, they still have relatives. If Yang Fan wants to get married, these people will naturally come to help him.
"Second aunt, I really didn't expect you to agree to this marriage. The Bai family is from a mud-legged background, how can it be worthy of our Yang'er! I heard that Yang'er uses all the good things in the warehouse to make
The betrothal gift is not an advantage to the Bai family, but our old Yang family is different from the past. Many of our children are worried about money for their official career."
A woman from the clan said in a strange manner.
"What my cousin said is that my aunt also knew that my girl was proficient in calligraphy and painting, so she wanted to get married to her, but who knew... That's all, I won't mention it anymore, and I will have to keep that girl under control from now on.
I came here to walk around, but Yang'er's new wife didn't want to see her, but I've wronged the child."
Mrs. Yang's niece's daughter-in-law complained.
Everyone was talking to each other, but no one paid attention to Mrs. Yang's increasingly dark complexion, and she was talking very enthusiastically.
"Old madam, ladies and gentlemen." Butler Yang Bo came into the room and bowed his hands in greeting, and then said: "Several shopkeepers came outside and said that the dowry ordered by the Bai family has been prepared and has been delivered to the door."
"Which shops are they from? What did they send here?" A young woman asked with a smile, but there was gloating in her eyes.
"Reply to Madam Third Young Master, the furniture and beds from Jin Carpenter's House, the quilts and other supplies from Jinxiu Pavilion, the utensils from Ruyi Pavilion, the potted plants from Baicao Pavilion..." Yang Bo became more and more excited as he talked, and told the names of all the shops in one breath.
came out.
Even if a lady from a famous family in the capital gets married, it is impossible for these families to order everything. Even ordinary items will cost ten thousand eighty taels of silver in total.
Mrs. Yang's calm expression gradually cleared up, and for the first time she felt slightly satisfied with her future granddaughter-in-law.
"It's nothing for everyone to sit here, why don't we go out and take a look together." Old Mrs. Yang raised her hand and asked the eldest girl to hold her hand as she walked out. She told Uncle Yang: "Let someone carry everything into the courtyard."
It looks good how to place it."
The Yang family has also prepared the wedding items, but the Bai family has never told them about it before. Mrs. Yang has been hesitant in the past few days whether to prepare everything first, so as not to lose face during the wedding.
However, the Bai family made thorough preparations and made reservations directly in the capital, so they didn't have to worry about delaying the big day or bumping into people on the road.
The most important thing is that when these things enter the Yang Mansion, they also bring face to the Yang Mansion and prevent those who are watching the joke from laughing.
Uncle Yang asked the young boy with quick legs and feet to go and deliver the message first, and he was one step ahead of the masters.
When Mrs. Yang and others arrived at the yard, everyone who was still thinking of having the final say was jealous.
"It looks good. Let me introduce it to you, shopkeepers, so I can take care of it." After Mrs. Yang saw the real thing, her smile deepened a little, and she deliberately wanted to make the people around her sour.
"Back to the old lady, this bed is made of tiger-skinned huanghuali that has been left for fifty years. It has a sweet and mellow taste, which is most suitable for General Yang's status. There is a set of rosewood dressing tables and a set of chicken wing wood furniture.
...The total price is 120,000 taels of silver."
Shopkeeper Jin Carpenter introduced the items he brought with a loud voice, full of pride.
On the other hand, the women in the yard only remembered the silver in the end. For 120,000 taels of silver, they just bought a bunch of furniture made of wood. How rich is the Bai family?
Well, these woods are rare and most people cannot afford them.
The next few shopkeepers also introduced their own products with great discernment. They only selected the most expensive ones and introduced them a few words, passing by the others, and finally quoted the total price.
Not to mention those ladies who have never seen the world, even Mrs. Yang thought she was hallucinating, but looking at the things in the yard, she knew it was true.
After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Yang found the housekeeper and asked, "Are you sure these things were ordered by the Bai family?"
"Back to the old lady, the servants and the shopkeepers confirmed that it was the future young lady's sister, the Princess Jixiang who ordered the items and paid the full price. They also said that these items would bring trouble on the way, so why not
It is more convenient to order it here in the capital, and the rest of the dowry will follow."
When the housekeeper said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the young master has married the God of Wealth.
"Keep an eye on it, put all the things in the new house, and don't let the blind people get into trouble." Mrs. Yang was silent for a moment, then waved her hand and gave instructions.
Originally, I thought that the Bai family was eager for this marriage and wanted to exchange a daughter from their second marriage for glory and wealth.
But now, just looking at part of the dowry, one can see how much the Bai family attaches importance to their eldest daughter. Even their own sister holds her in such high regard.
Recalling what Yang Fan once said, Mrs. Yang also believed that the Bai family originally planned to recruit a wife for their daughter. The money would not have to be left out, and they could still control the son-in-law, right?
Many people got wind of the things that the Yang family brought in today.
Yang Fan will be the most powerful person around Shangguan Yu in the future, and will become a general sooner or later. There is no doubt about this. Anyone who is thoughtful will understand the importance of making good friends in advance.
Seeing that the Bai family's dowry was huge, I couldn't help but change the gift list I had originally prepared, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get it.
The Third Prince's Mansion.
Something happened in Quanshui Town. The whereabouts of the gold and silver were unknown, and the account books were even missing. During this period, the third prince sent people out frequently, fearing that there would be news from Zixiao City.
"Master is here, do you want to have some midnight snacks together?" Bai Xue saw the third prince and stood up to greet him with a smile.
"Hmm." The third prince had little appetite, so he sat down with Bai Xue and only took two bites of the dessert before putting it down.
"Withdraw." Bai Xue helped the third prince change his clothes with a wink, but didn't ask anything.
With the beauty by his side, the third prince vented his uneasiness on the couch, tossing Bai Xue several times before giving up.
"You said, a peasant girl who has no one to teach her since she was a child, can she understand political things?" The third prince was not sleepy, so he wanted to talk to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue stiffened, then sneered:
"I really know how to joke. A peasant girl is a peasant girl. Even if she has an adventure, it is different from ordinary peasant girls. Not to mention it is a political matter. Even if she enters my backyard, she is only qualified to be a waiter.
Concubine."
The third prince remained silent, thinking about the information reported by the people below.
Magistrate Ouyang did not get those things.
Before the prefect's people passed by, only Bai Ling and some villagers were there.
But those villagers are just ordinary villagers. Only Bai Ling is suspicious. The third prince can't find any other clues, so he must pay attention to Bai Ling. (To be continued)
