The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 606 The Dowry
Su Yunduo never thought that one day, he would be in trouble because of too much dowry. Looking at the dowry all over the yard, Su Yunduo finally realized what it means to be "a daughter is a moneymaker"!

Since September [-]th, people have come to Su's second bedroom in Dongmingfang to add makeup to Su Yunduo.

Although there are not many young girls who are close to Su Yunduo, but she has a "Shen Zao Yu Jiefang" under her name, and she is married to the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, so she uses the name of adding makeup to show off. There are not a few people with a sense of presence.

Most of the old lady Lu would not like such makeup gifts, and of course they would not embarrass others, so Su Yunduo accepted them one by one and expressed her gratitude.

On September [-]th, the palace sent Su Yunduo some make-up in the name of the eldest princess. The make-up was quite generous, and everything was exquisite: a pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets, a jade-leaf golden cicada hairpin , A pair of jade ruyis, a box of East China Sea pearls, two century-old ginsengs, and ten bolts of silks and satins of various colors.

On September [-]th, Su Jieting brought several wives from the Anhou Mansion to add makeup. Although this time it was not as exaggerated as when the Holy Majesty first bestowed the marriage, it was still full of pride and everything was precious: a red coral as tall as a person can be The full-length mirror from the West is completely exposed, and the two boxes are also rare furs from the West.

Today, the old doctor Kong who was far away in Yanshan Mansion and Tianzhuang from the folks of Geshan Village also rushed to the capital not far away.

So Su Yunduo's dowry soared from 120 eight units to 130 eight units.

According to the custom in the capital, the day before the marriage, the woman needs to send the dowry she bought to the man's home for laying out, commonly known as "making the bed".

Although "making the bed" is not included in the six rituals, it is an important part of marriage customs.

On this day, not only the married man and woman cannot meet, but also the parents of both parties cannot meet. Therefore, most of the people who go to the man to "make the bed" are the elders of the woman's patriarch.

It was Shi Shi, wife of the patriarch, who went to the Zhen Guogong Mansion to "make the bed".

On September [-]th, Su's second house began to get busy just after dawn. Su Yunduo's dowry was carried from the backyard to the front yard one after another, and they were arrayed one by one in the front yard, which was called dowry drying.

The dowry in the courtyard is all-encompassing for daily necessities, making people dazzled.

There are all kinds of decorations, big and small, from large vases and red corals that exceed the height of a person, to small cups, bowls and saucers.

The whole set of make-up and toiletries are all exclusively provided by Divine Doctor Valley, and everything is exquisite and rare.

Bedding, pillowcases, quilt covers, curtains, curtains, etc. are made of top-quality materials and exquisite embroidery.

The furs and fabrics are in oversized boxes, and the boxes are stuffed to the brim.

There are eight sets of jewelry displayed on the head, each set has 24 pieces less and 30 pieces more, gems, east beads, stone jade, and gold styles are complete.There are also jewelry boxes, at least there are more than [-] boxes, and the boxes are full.

Spices and medicinal materials also come from the Valley of Miracle Medicine, ginseng, shouwu, snow lotus, and ganoderma lucidum are all of rare quality.

Calligraphy and painting ancient books, jade porcelain treasures, the four treasures of the study...

Also, the bedding is all made of nanmu, even the children's treasure bucket, and there is also a pair of rosewood chairs.

It can be said that Su Yunduo's dowries are all exquisite products.

In addition to these, there are houses, shops and fields represented by tiles and adobes. A tile represents a yard or a shop, while a piece of adobe represents one mu of land, ten mu, or even a hundred mu of land.

There are a lot of fields under Su Yunduo's name, so a piece of adobe in Su Yunduo's dowry does not represent one mu of land, or even ten mu, or one hundred mu of land, but a Zhuangzi.

The members of the Su clan who came to see the make-up were curiously counted. In Su Yunduo's dowry, there were eight pieces of adobe and eight pieces of tiles, which is strange.

Who in the Su clan doesn't know that the Zhuangzi in Yangjiaji that the Holy One rewarded Su Yunduo has nearly a thousand acres of land. Even if the adobe represents a hundred acres of land, there must be almost ten adobes.

So what about the Zhuangzi in the western suburbs that Mrs. Lu transferred to her earlier, and the Zhuangzi added by Su Jieting's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Hey, this is not a piece of adobe representing a Zhuangzi!

Calculating silently, it really means that a piece of adobe represents a Zhuangzi, so this tile represents the courtyard of the shop.

"My dear boy, this dowry is really too generous, it's really 'ten miles of red makeup, a thousand acres of fertile land'!"

"No, no, it's not just a thousand acres of fertile land, it should be tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"Look at the 130 eight dowry, it's so real, don't say one splits two, even one splits three."

"Ouch, this second bedroom's family background is really solid."

"You said, how many thousand taels of silver would there be at the bottom of the box?"

"A few thousand taels? Less, I think at least tens of thousands!"

"No way, I have already given so much dowry, and I will give you ten thousand taels of cash, and the second room has three underage grandchildren!"

"You think the second room is like you, they have always been rich and powerful! What's more, Sister Duo can make money herself!"

"That's right, Sister Duo is the most capable girl in our clan. The workshop in her hand earns a lot of money every year!"

"You said, will sister Duo keep the shares of the workshop?"

"I heard that Sister Duo wanted to leave the shares to her younger brothers, but the second grandmother, eighth uncle and eighth aunt forced Sister Duo to take the shares away."

"Oh, the eldest son of Zhen Guogong's mansion is really blessed."

"Tsk tsk tsk, looking at the dowry, the people in the third room have to feel heartbroken for a long time!"

The people who came to see the dowry posting were basically members of the Su clan, and they talked about it while watching, and in the end, whoever took pleasure in their misfortune brought out the third-family members.

Speaking of the money in the box, in fact, a full 600 taels of bank notes accepted by the whole country plus [-] taels of cash were pressed.

1 taels of bank notes, 1 taels were given to Su Yunduo when Su Jieting sent "Add Makeup", and [-] taels were given by Mrs. Lu.

The 600 taels of cash was added by Su Chengzhi and Ning's forcefully. Basically, the income from Geshan Village over the past year plus the silver that Su Yunduo handed over to Ning's were all put into the bottom of the box.

Originally, according to Su Chengzhi and Ning's intention, all the land, houses and artificial lakes for growing medicinal materials and vegetables in Geshan Village should be assigned to Su Yunduo to take away with him. thought.

Maybe they will never be able to return to Geshan Village to live in the future, but Su Yunduo knows that both Su Chengzhi and Ning miss the simple life of Geshan Village, and hope that one day they can go back to Geshan Village to see those things. A thought.

"When all these dowries are carried to the courtyard of the eldest son of the Zhen Guogong mansion, I don't know how spectacular it will be, and I don't know if the eldest son's courtyard can hold it."

"Then you are worrying unnecessarily. How big is the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and our sister Duo is married to the eldest son. The yard we live in must not be small, and we can't fit the dowry?!"

"That is that is!"

"..."

All kinds of discussions about posting the dowry continuously reached Su Yunduo's ears, Su Yunduo just pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

As soon as Sishi arrived, a group of people headed to Zhen Guogong's mansion to "make the bed" Chuichuidada, carried the dowry and set off.

It was Su Yunduo's companion and Nanny Ding who accompanied the dowry to Zhen Guo Gong's mansion. They went with the dowry, not only to assist Shi's bed making, but also to take care of the dowry.

Although the dowry was sent to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and the Duke of Zhen's mansion had to send someone to take care of it, Su Yunduo still asked Aunt Ding to take the dowry with her companion to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

After all, when the dowry arrives at the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion, there is also a ceremony of exposing the dowry. Her dowry is large and has a lot of valuables, and there are more than 2 boxes of silver. Who knows if someone will fish in troubled waters? Mammy brings a caretaker to make people feel at ease.
