lied to Kangxi

Chapter 158
When discussing the marriage proposal, Changde had no objection to the fifth elder brother.Ergenjue Luoshi, on the other hand, felt a little disgusted that the fifth elder brother had a wound on his face, which was not very decent.

According to the scientific thinking of this era, a disfigured person with a wound on his face naturally carries bad luck on his body and should not attend the formal occasion of the wedding.

Yuzhu also understood Yiergenjueluo's taboo very well, so he proposed that the old twelve come to propose marriage instead.

Last time, Sun Chengyun's invitation ceremony, the performance of the old twelve was excellent, and Yu Zhu accepted him.

Although Old Twelve is an empty-headed elder brother, he is a genuine prince elder brother, and his status is also extremely noble, so Ergenjue Luoshi nodded with a smile.

In the following negotiations, Changde and Ergen Jue Luo did not embarrass Yuzhu.

Often when Yuzhu mentioned the difficulties, Changde and Yiergenjueluo would stand on a considerate standpoint and immediately nodded in agreement.

At the end, Yu Zhu smiled and said: "I will tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my father will go to the palace tomorrow to report the marriage between the son-in-law and your concubine to the imperial concubine, and ask the empress to give you a few rare items in the palace to support you." Support the scene."

Chang De stroked his beard and nodded frequently. When giving the betrothal gift, if there is a gift from the imperial concubine in the first place, it will be the most beautiful.

After resigning, Yuzhu deliberately "left" the thick dowry list under the brocade stool.

How should I put it, if Yuzhu hadn't persuaded Li Si'er, she would have dared to get the dowry to the level of 50 taels.

Now, even the reduced betrothal gift is still on the scale of 20 taels of silver.

Yuzhu deliberately put down the dowry list, just to worry about the embarrassment of the Changde couple, leaving room for negotiation.

In case, Fu Cha's family can't afford [-]% of the dowry.At that time, it would be too embarrassing in front of the big media.

Coincidentally, Xingrui, the big girl next to Xiuyun, picked up the dowry list.

Xiuyun opened the dowry list, looked at the eloquent names, and couldn't help smiling, this man is very cunning.

After reading the list of gifts, Ergen Jueluo couldn't help but gasped, and said with some heartache, "Master, our family doesn't have so much cash."

As for women, after all, they still have shallow eyelids and serious patriarchal thoughts, so they are reluctant to spend too much money on their daughters.

Chang De really liked Xiuyun, so he smiled and said: "Money is not enough, but the treasury is full of mountain goods and leather goods, why don't you take some more out, sell them for silver, and support our girl?"

In this era, hundreds of years of Changbai ginseng, tiger skin, bear skin, sable skin, and pine flower stone are all extremely popular and best-selling products in the world, almost equivalent to hard currency.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Chang De is willing to sell it, he can immediately exchange it for a lot of money.

Among them, due to the understanding of the times, the old wild ginseng over 200 years old is a good thing that cannot be bought with money.

After An Lin came back, he heard Ergenjue Luoshi say that his sister's dowry exceeded the standard, and he said with a smile: "Ernie, I am Xiuyun, the younger sister, the more beautiful she is married, the more face I have. Outsiders see , yo, my dear brother is really willing, isn't that reasonable?"

Changde has one son and one daughter. When the daughter gets married, she takes more of the family property, and the things that belong to Anlin get less. It is such a reality.

The son is the pillar used to provide for the elderly and the end of life, and the daughter belongs to the water that is thrown out. Once married, she becomes someone else's family.

Inside and outside, after all, there are other things.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and it is difficult for upright officials to break up housework.

Since An Lin had no objection, Ergenjue Luoshi didn't say anything anymore.

Yu Zhu waited for several days, but An Lin didn't come to talk about the dowry.He immediately understood that the Fucha family really valued their daughter very much.

Whether it is important or not, the test standard is very simple, that is, the thickness of the dowry.The thicker the dowry, the deeper the affection for the daughter.

No matter how much the parents say they love each other, the family has a wealth of 10 taels, but they are only willing to give [-] taels as a dowry, so it is definitely not that important.

For another example, when your hard-core good brother gets married, you talk very well, but the gift money you give is only five hundred yuan, which is just like the crowd.

Hehe, that good brother, it is definitely impossible to go down hard with you again.

The sophistication of the world is how much you invest in your relatives and friends, emotionally or financially.Among them, speaking with money is the most intuitive and the least deceptive.

Many wine and meat friends, who usually call themselves brothers and sisters, appear extremely affectionate, and when you ask them for a loan, they completely show their true colors.

Three matchmakers and six rituals are just popular sayings.When a wealthy family marries a regular wife, what is actually implemented is the three media, three books and six rituals.

The three matchmakers are the big matchmaker for the woman, the big matchmaker for the man, and the mediator in the middle.

The three books are the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony and the letter of welcoming relatives.Among them, the letter of appointment contains the Geng stickers that both men and women must exchange.

Geng posts, also known as dragon and phoenix posts, marriage posts or eight-character posts, clearly write on each post, the names of the married couple, birth date, birthplace, three generations of ancestors, etc.

Six rituals, no more details.

The Fucha family couldn't find the prince's elder brother as a great matchmaker, so the twelfth elder brother could only be the mediator in the middle.

Then, according to the identity of the big media invited by Fucha's family, Yuzhu then appointed his own big media.This is a good way to avoid embarrassment for the woman.

Is there any reason why the disparity is too great for the status of a big media?

In fact, Yuzhu married Xiuyun because the emperor ordered the marriage. The so-called three matchmakers and six rituals are just a formality.

It was enough for the two parties to go through the motions and show respectability to each other.

In the big marriages of this era, the two parties in the marriage are still most concerned about the house and the ticket, these two major issues.

However, Tong's family and Fucha's family are both rich and rich, and they are not short of money, so the biggest obstacle is gone.

Longkodo went to the palace to report to the emperor, saying that he wanted to meet the imperial concubine in person and ask for a few rare items in the palace to give Yuzhu's marriage a boost.

In the past, because of the taboo relationship, even if Long Kedo was Concubine Tong's elder brother, it was difficult for him to meet his younger sister.

Now, because of discussing important matters, the emperor also understood very well, so he ordered Wei Zhu to accompany Long Kedo to meet Xiao Tong Jia.

Little Tong Jiashi was very happy when she heard the news that Yuzhu was going to get married, and immediately rewarded Yuzhu with two cloisonné enamel Ruyi.

Cloisonné enamel Ruyi can't be bought for a lot of money, and no one dares to make it privately.It can only be rewarded by the royal family, so it looks extraordinarily precious.

Sun Chengyun went to Fucha's house with the dowry, and brought back the dowry list originally drawn up by the woman.

Li Si'er held the dowry list and carefully studied it three times, but finally said nothing.

Yu Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Si'er didn't speak, which meant that the Fucha family's dowry was so rich that she couldn't be picky.

Because Xiuyun was very old, if she dragged on, she would exceed the 20-year-old upper limit for marrying a daughter, and the two parties set a very tight schedule for the ceremony.

Measuring the size of the two new houses and making daily household items are the sole responsibility of the woman.

Chang De was originally the doctor of the Department of Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the chief craftsman he invited was none other than Lei Jinyu, the head squad of the Construction Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Yuzhu is not a god, he has never heard of Lei Jinyu's name.

However, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the famous Yuanmingyuan-style Fang Zhangan (chief master) was this Lei Changban.

There are thousands of skilled craftsmen in the construction office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lei Jinyu must have quite a few brushes to be able to be a long shift (the head of a craftsman).

Otherwise, if there is a technical problem, but as the leader of the class, he can't control the situation, he will lose his head.

Sun Chengyun knew about Lei Jinyu, and he introduced with a smile: "You don't know, the prince's mansion, county prince's mansion or Baylor's mansion in the four or nine cities, all the new house decorations and wooden furniture for marrying Gege or marrying a daughter-in-law. The job was taken over by the Lei family. To put it bluntly, this means that your father-in-law is in charge of the Department of Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and holds real power in his hands. Otherwise, even if an ordinary fourth-rank Jingqing family pays a high price to invite Lao Lei , I still can't invite you."

Oh, after Sun Chengyun's explanation, Yuzhu also understood that this Lei Changban is really a master craftsman.

Wooden utensils and other objects are all the work of the Fucha family.

Lei Jinyu led people in the new houses on both sides, and after measuring various sizes, he came to look for Yiergenjueluoshi.

Ergen felt that it was necessary for Xiuyun to listen in, so he asked Xiuyun to sit behind the screen and participate in the discussion together.

"The villain knocks on his wife, and good luck to his wife." After Lei Jinyu entered the door, she knelt down and saluted.

Although Lei Jinyu was a lowly craftsman, he was a well-known master in Sijiu City, so Yiergenjue Luoshi politely gave up his seat and ordered tea to be served.

After Lei Jinyu sat down, Ergenjueluo asked him with a smile: "Master Lei, how much red sandalwood do we need for the new house in Jialanyan Hutong?"

"To tell you the truth, madam, according to my personal calculation, there are about fifteen rooms, and the required rosewood wood should not be less than one hundred." Lei Jinyu stood up and answered with cupped hands.

In this era, the master craftsmen in the palace have their own unique skills.However, there are various units of wood materials, and there is no uniform standard.

Regarding the unit of wood, some people use put, some use materials, and some use rooms. Lei Jinyu is used to using rooms and roots to calculate the amount of wood used.

One teacher has one method, and the names are different. How to get used to it depends entirely on the experience of the master.

The so-called room is a room, all the wood requirements are included.

The amount of wood used is mainly based on the list of items listed by Ergenjue Luoshi.

For example, the materials needed for the bed, dressing table, chairs and various decorations in the main wedding room are all installed in Lei Jinyu's mind.

Lei Jinyu only knew a few words, could speak clearly, but couldn't write.

In a word, Lei Jinyu, who completed the first phase of the Yuanmingyuan project, is definitely the top craftsman among the craftsmen who can direct the craftsmen with only a mouth and the style model of the building.

Ergen Jueluo calculated silently, and said with a smile: "General, there are exactly 150 rosewood in Curry, which should be enough."

Lei Jinyu cupped his hands and smiled, "Ma'am, I only need a hundred, any more would be a waste." Full of confidence.

If Yu Zhu was present, he would definitely be amazed that there is no uniform standard, but Lei Jinyu has the confidence to draw a conclusion, how amazing is this?
You know, craftsmen who work for the rich and powerful actually mess up the pot, not only losing money, but also getting boarded, jailed, or even lost their heads.
