Chapter 526 Shili Hongzhuang
Everyone crowded to the door and looked out.
I saw a group of people coming from a distance.
As he was watching, Sister Dan rushed over from nowhere and hugged Gu Fei, "Oh, Xiao Fei, you are finally back. I miss you so much."
Gu Fei chuckled, "Do you really miss me? I'll give you a good gift in a while."
Sister Dan clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Fei said that the good stuff will definitely be the same."
As he spoke, the sound of the suona got closer and closer.
Gu Fei raised his voice, "What is this for?"
Sister Dan also replied at the top of her lungs, "Mrs. Protector's daughter is getting married to the eldest son of Prince Qi. This is a dowry!"
After a while, we saw the team getting closer and closer.
Two rows of young men, wearing brand new black satin robes with red belts tied around their waists.
The boys walked in groups of two, carrying the red-painted boxes and walking forward neatly.
At the front is a three-foot-tall red coral, with jade-like texture and bright red color, and its branches spread out like a small tree.
Sister Dan clicked her tongue in Gu Fei's ear: "This piece of coral is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver."
The boy carrying the coral passed by. On the carrying box behind was a mutton-fat jade-carved Guanyin, more than a foot tall, white and greasy, as warm as gelatin.
Then two Ruyi handles about one foot long were placed on a lifting box. One was jade Ruyi, and the other was mutton-fat Ruyi. One was green and the other was white. When placed together, the visual effect was very strong.
The road was crowded with people on both sides, and everyone’s eyes were about to fall out.
Gu Fei was also dazzled by what he saw. He carried over jade incense burners, jade vases and other jade objects, followed by gold buckets, gold Ruyi, and gold abacus.
Then I saw a few tiles placed on a red lacquered carrying box, with a big red word "happy" stamped on it. Compared with the gold and jade in front, it was very incongruous.
She asked Sister Dan, "Why do you need to put tiles? Is this a custom?"
Sister Dan pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her ear: "This represents the dowry house of the mother's family. A piece of tile represents a house or shop."
Gu Fei paused for a moment and counted the tiles. There were as many as ten tiles.
Then there is a piece of sapphire, also made into the shape of a tile, covered with the word "happy" cut out of red paper.
Sister Dan touched Gu Fei and said, "This should represent Luan Garden."
Further back, there is another strange lifting box with a few pieces of earth and garbage wrapped in red paper.
Gu Fei looked at Sister Dan, waiting for her explanation.
Sister Dan lived up to her expectations, "This Tu Ke La represents the field. It's hard to say. There are big and small Tu Ke La. Generally, the small ones represent one hundred acres, and the big ones represent one thousand acres."
Gu Fei counted six pieces of land with itchy hands again, which is six thousand acres of land.
Then there are some boxes, with the lids open, and you can see all kinds of silks, furs, and clothes from all seasons, carried one after another.
Then there are many dressing boxes and jewelry boxes.
The last two boxes were not opened, and each contained a gold ingot and silver ingot.
Sister Dan said: "This is the money that is used to press the box."
“Most people just put a few pieces in a box and that’s all. In her case, it’s just a whole box.”
Gu Fei was stunned, my dear, this lady protecting the country is really rich and incomparable to the country!
The dowry queue has no end in sight.
The sound of the suona also gradually faded away, and most of the people watching the excitement on the street moved forward.
Sister Dan hugged Gu Fei's waist and said, "I just counted one hundred and twenty dowries. With this dowry, I'm afraid there are only three to four hundred thousand silver."
“There are also some furniture and other things. They must have been brought into the house a long time ago. It is probably not a small sum of money.”
