Chapter 812 Hint
Time passed quickly, and the three books and six ceremonies of the Zhou and Ning residences went smoothly. The re-engagement of the Zhou and Ning families was also talked about in the capital, and of course, there were also the luxurious betrothal gifts from the Ning family.
The Zhou family's front yard was filled with the Ning family's betrothal gifts on that day. Gold and silver were not counted. Antique jewelry opened the eyes of those who came to watch the ceremony.
The marriage date has also been fixed, and it will be held in the winter of the following year.
Three days after the engagement, Zhulan was still very busy, busy arranging her daughter's dowry, and several daughters-in-law also came to help.
Li looked at the thick dowry list in her mother-in-law's hand, and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's done, mother, daughter-in-law has been dreaming every day and night to arrange the dowry."
When she woke up, she felt tired. The little sister-in-law was married to the Hou mansion. The dowry dazzled her eyes. Yulu was not married to a high-ranking man. Eldest daughter-in-law, she worries about her daughter's dowry.
Zhulan touched the dowry list, "Mother too, this is a dowry when you close your eyes and open your eyes. Fortunately, it's finally ordered."
The betrothal gift from the Ning family was too expensive. She told Shuren that all the betrothal gifts would be taken away from Xuehan, plus the dowry she had prepared. Xuehan's dowry was too much. lift.
Back then, the crown prince married 140 princes, and several princes and 120 princes. Although Rong Chuan was the real fifth prince, he did not recognize him.
Zhulan had no choice but to cut down the dowry, but she carefully prepared everything for her daughter, even if it was compacted.
That's why I rearranged the dowry, cut down some of the dowry that really won't be used in the future, and also finalized the final dowry list by the way.
Zhao's help in the past few days has really opened her eyes, thinking that she used to carry a few taels of silver with her every day, but now her purse seldom contains silver bills, "Mother, my aunt's wedding dress is Shouldn't you be ready?"
Zhulan, "It's time to prepare, but this material has to be chosen."
Su Xuan replied, "Mother, the material for my daughter-in-law's wedding dress was good, but I have to order it in advance, and my daughter-in-law will help my sister-in-law make the order. What do you think?"
Zhu Lan smiled, "That's good, otherwise I'll be worried!"
Seeing that Mother was a little tired, Mrs. Li stood up, "Mother, you rest first, daughter-in-law will return first."
Zhulan was indeed a little tired, "Okay."
Several daughters-in-law returned, Zhulan got up and wanted to go back to the house to rest, she paused, and said to Mrs. Song: "The dowry you have chosen, you will give it to several houses in five fair shares, these shares are a few pieces of jade frost. one."
Madam Song said, "Why don't you wait for a few Miss Sun to get married and send them over?"
Zhulan smiled, "They still have some thoughts about getting married. These jewelry should be outdated, it's better to divide them now."
Mrs. Song, "Yes."
In the big room, Mrs. Li could not sit still when she returned to the yard. She took her mother-in-law to the warehouse. The warehouse was the dowry she had saved for her daughter. This dowry is really incomparable. for each room.
Li only hoped that Xianggong would feel home, yes, it should be Steward Ding to go home quickly, so that she knew how much money she had earned and more for her daughter.
When Mrs. Li was out of the warehouse, she saw Mrs. Song bringing the girl over with a cloth and a box behind her. Mrs. Li spoke up and asked, "This?"
Mrs. Song explained: "This is what the mistress gave to several Sun misses. Miss Yulu and Miss Yushuang are old, and they are the age to wear jewelry. The two Miss Suns are allotted to clean up the cloth and other things. The young ladies are mostly unpolished gems."
Mrs. Li waited for Madam Song to leave, and opened the box, all of which were suitable for daughters to wear. She sighed in her heart, "Mother Song is really attentive."
The girl beside her said in her heart that Mrs. Song is still very strict, and what these girls are most afraid of is Mrs. Song.
The second house Zhao received two copies. Seeing the little girl playing with the gems, she thought to herself, fortunately, the little girl and Yushuang had a big age difference, and they even left her a few years to save her dowry.
Dong's daughter was small and she was pregnant again, so she put it away after reading it.
Su Xuan had too many good things, so she put them away and used them when her daughter was older.
The Hanlin Academy, the weather is getting colder today, Shi Qing is ill and feels extremely uncomfortable.
Chang Lian gave him a hand behind him, "I didn't say, why didn't you ask for leave when you're not feeling well?"
Shi Qing has suffered and said that recently the emperor asked him to keep a close eye on the capital, and he did not dare to relax. In addition, the more he came into contact with him, he also knew what Yaohou Mansion did back then. Although he didn't know much, he also understood. The emperor hated Yaohou Mansion to the core.
Shi Qing recalled that after Yao Yao was pregnant, the emperor saw what he had hinted at him that the death of both mother and child was a good result, and he understood that the emperor regretted pointing out the marriage, and the emperor did not want to let anyone in the Yao family go.
At that time, his mind was dumb. He said that his love with Yao Yao was like a sea, but he didn't believe it. He and Yao Yao could only say that they knew each other. Sincere people have reservations in their hearts.
Later, he didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he only knew that he couldn't be so heartless, he really did it, and the emperor would not be at ease with him, tiger poison would not eat children, so he protected Yao Yao and the children.
Now is the price, and he has to resist the pain. The only regret is that Yao Yao can only have a daughter. This is the emperor's last concession.
Shi Qing didn't know at all that he couldn't let the emperor give in, because he helped Rong Chuan back then.
Seeing that Shi Qing didn't speak, Chang Lian sighed, "Sit down first, and I'll pour hot water for you."
Shi Qing hoarsely said, "Thank you."
Chang Lian went out to pour hot water. There were many Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy, but no one served him, so I can’t say that. He is also a Shujishi, but he has never used himself to pour hot water, and always has someone to help him.
He used to rely on having a good father, and later added Rong Chuan His days in the Hanlin Academy were like a duck to water. Chang Lian looked at the servant who helped him pour hot water. Staying in the capital, the capital will always be guarded by his father, he has to think about it, where will he go to hone in two years.
Chang Lian went to the kitchen, not only brought a pot of hot water, but also came back after breaking the **** tea, and handed the **** tea to the work, "Drink it, put this pot of water first, drink it later, drink more. Some hot water will make you feel better."
Shi Qing, "Thank you."
Chang Lian patted Shi Qing on the shoulder. He heard from his father that Shi Qing had a hard life.
The Ministry of Punishment, Zhou Shuren was the one who followed the prince to the Ministry of Punishment yesterday. Zhou Shuren rubbed his neck and looked at the file on the table in front of him with a sullen face. It was estimated that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work were busy and were waiting for him in the Ministry of Punishment.
The crown prince is still plausible, choking him with his words, what is the government of one state, anyway, just let him read the scroll, I hope he can see some problems.
Zhou Shuren sneezed, regretting why he didn't open the window when it rained last night. If he was ill, he would be able to take a leave of absence.
