Chapter 1014

Believing in these marriage customs, her real mother Ke Shi knows better than her unmarried sister-in-law. Therefore, as soon as the hired Jin arrived this time, Ke immediately sent someone to send him to Zhanyun garden intact. The twelve horses in the bride price were too big to be ignored. Not only could Ke not be ignored, but also had to be placed in the stable and served well.

Because that's the bride price under the sixth prince!

At the same time, Ke Shi also told Gong Yueyue that the sixth prince had chosen a lucky day, which was set on August 20 after she had just finished the 15th and hairpin ceremony.

Now it is July 14, and it is only more than a month away from the auspicious day. In this way, the preparation for marriage seems to be in a hurry. Ning yuan's mother and several big maids such as Xinhui, Juhui and Zhuhui hurried to make it. Fortunately, as soon as they received the decree to get married, several people have begun to sew it. It is said that Gong Yueyue should have sewed the wedding dress himself. Although she also learned some embroidery techniques with female teacher Fu Koru, Gong Yueyue's crude needlework is not competent for the difficult embroidery process in ancient times.

You know, a wedding dress, not to mention its ten thousand dollar tribute to Chen Liu in the palace, is the embroidery pattern on the edge. In Gong Yueyue's eyes, it is all exquisite handicrafts, not to mention the beautiful embroidery on the whole wedding dress.

However, these are not what Gong Yueyue pays attention to. In short, her rotten skills are well known, and she doesn't think it's a shame. At the right time, the palace embroiderer assigned by the dance queen came to the Hou house to guide Wu's little aunts to sew needlework. The original female teacher Kou Ru was idle. Gong Yueyue told Ning yuan's mother to help sew the wedding dress.

As soon as Ning yuan's mother heard this, she immediately stretched her frown that had been locked for days and stroked her palm and said, "this is good. If there is the help of master Kou, who is the needlework, why can't my sister-in-law's wedding dress be finished?" At the moment, he hurried to find Kou Ru.

What Gong Yueyue is most concerned about now is how to implement the original plan.

After the sixth Prince's making such a fuss, it is estimated that everyone in Manjing knows that her eighth aunt Wu is finally married. If she leaves the house at will as before, she may be criticized. At this time, the necessary inspection is still necessary.

Or find Zi Lue and let him run errands for himself. But at the thought of the two accompanying doctors, Gong Yueyue gave up the idea.

Zi Lue has always been with Wu Wei. He always wants to return Zi Lue to his fourth brother. Instead of letting him intervene now, he might as well not participate in it at the beginning.

The fewer people know, the safer it is, and the better it is for her.

Gong Yueyue sat in the main room of Zhanyun garden, holding tea cups in both hands, and fell into meditation.

Xinhui came in and saw such an eight aunt.

Xinhui put the ice in her hand into the ice basin at the four corners of the wall, walked silently to Gong Yueyue, and quietly replied: "aunt eight, give aunt seven a birthday gift. Ju Hui has sent it to sangrou hospital. Aunt seven is so grateful and rewarded Ju Hui a hundred dollars..."

Seeing aunt eight nodding absently, he replied: "Mr. five just handed in a message and asked aunt eight if she would go to the Fifth Battalion of the northern army tomorrow to see them compete for the imperial edict?"

Yes, how could she forget such an important thing!

Gong Yueyue put down the tea lamp and said with a smile, "go, why not? It's the golden horse gate waiting for the imperial edict!" Then he lowered his voice: "Xinhui, you have to keep secret about tomorrow, and don't let others know a bit!"

Xinhui nodded solemnly: "don't worry, aunt Ba, Xinhui knows propriety."

She knew that Aunt eight wouldn't care about Ju Hui's hundred dollar reward. Fortunately, Ju Hui secretly asked her to make it clear to Aunt eight that she was not greedy for Aunt seven's reward, but was given to her by Aunt seven's hard fortress. In fact, eighth aunt is more concerned about this. Sure enough, as soon as she said that the martial arts competition was to be recruited, her little sister-in-law immediately smiled and looked forward to it.

"But... It's the embroiderer in tomorrow's palace who wants to take needlework class. If we zhanyunyuan still says that Aunt Ba has a headache, I'm afraid it's difficult for the dance queen to explain..." Xinhui was worried again.

"Well, that's true. Xinhui, why don't we say this... "Gong Yueyue whispered to Xinhui quietly.

After hearing this, Xinhui was obviously stunned. Then she was quite worried and said, "aunt Ba, can this work?"

"If you can't, you have to remember that I'm already married!"

At breakfast the next day, Gong Yueyue went to liaoe hall with Xinhui as usual. After greeting Ke, he had breakfast again. During this period, Gong Yueyue, as usual, shared a couch with her fourth aunt Yin Jiang and ate together.

In fact, since the day she came to the capital, as long as it was a meal, Ke always arranged her to sit with her fourth aunt Yin Jiang.

As for the reason, it is the idea and speech that Ming opened his eyes and leaked. Who let her and Yin Jiang be the wife of the sixth prince!

These days, Gong Yueyue obviously feels that Yin Jiang's resentment and hostility towards him are increasing day by day, especially after the sixth Prince's bride price.

In the Han Dynasty at this time, concubine marriage was still popular among some upper classes such as royal family dignitaries. In other words, when a woman married, she needed to be assisted and improved by concubine marriage. If the age of the concubines is longer than that of the married women, they are concubines; If a concubine is younger than a married woman, she is a concubine. Like Yin Jiang, she married as a concubine.

For the married woman, concubines can sometimes have some unexpected pet fixing effect, but sometimes they can be counterproductive. For the former, Gong Yueyue privately thinks that concubines are actually a spare tire, but for the latter, they are opponents of marrying women. To put it bluntly, concubines are a double-edged sword. Well used, concubines are the alliance of married women. If they are not used properly, concubines are the sworn enemy of married women!

And concubines are also higher. Concubines are married by an open matchmaker. The status of women married before concubines is basically the same as that of women married. However, the status of concubines is much more humble. When concubines and concubines exist at the same time, the actual status of concubines is between the positive wife and concubine.

Since there is such a custom saying, Yin Jiang, a concubine who marries with her, should deserve the bride price of a fair marriage, that is, as the Han family story says, there is a bride price and a bride price.

Han family story: the princes and kings hired two hundred jin of gold and twelve horses; Madam, fifty Jin of gold and four horses.

Even though Yinjiang is only a concubine, she is at least a little lady after she married, so she should follow the story of "50 gold dowry and four horses".

However, things backfired. Up to now, Yin Jiang not only didn't get a penny of the bride price, but also didn't get the bride price of even a lame horse!

Some of this is inconsistent with the Han family story, and some are unreasonable. How to say, the fourth aunt Yin Jiang is the concubine of the eighth aunt, which is much higher than the concubine.
