Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

Chapter 1111 The Emperor's Marriage to a Daughter-in-law is Too Expensive
On the third day of March, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage. The gates of the palace are opened early in the morning, and lights and festoons are everywhere in the palace. Go out early to occupy a favorable position, and the emperor is hired, some people will never have the chance to see such a grand event in their lifetime, they must see it quickly!
The dowry was prepared according to the highest standard, 2 taels of gold, 20 taels of silver, all kinds of gold and silver utensils were in even numbers, everyone also had ten liters of jade wares, more than 66 liters of antiques, calligraphy and painting, the four treasures of the study, and 24 pieces of brocade , [-] horses and [-] pairs of high-quality saddles, and other items of various names are also given out together.

"I've never seen so many treasures in my life, seeing this is enough for me."

The onlookers saw those betrothal gifts that could not be described with tongue-tapping words, they were too many, "I heard that there are 2 taels of gold and [-] taels of silver. what day?"

"I'm sure the bed I slept on was made of gold. Look at those brocades. God, how many times have they been carried in the past, and each one has been stuffed to the brim. How much do you have to make into clothes? The empress can't wear them all in her lifetime, right?"

"How much silver do you say these things are worth?"

Everyone shook their heads, they didn't know but Wen Mianmian knew, last night he took Hua Xiurui's hand and said earnestly: "Son, you must be good to her when you marry him, don't you know that marrying this daughter-in-law cost a lot of money?" Now, do you know how much you can accomplish with the money spent?"

"Mother tells you, even if you are the emperor, you can't easily afford a second wife."

This is just the betrothal gift this time. There were several small gifts before, each of which cost money. In addition to the betrothal gift, there is a large amount of additional expenses. Ah, burning money, too much money!

Hua Xiaoer fiddled with the abacus for a while, and Liu Kuoyuan was writing and drawing on a plate, and then told her in a low voice that marrying this daughter-in-law was just a bride price. It's just silver, not including those gold, silver and jade wares, isolated calligraphy and paintings, etc. The calculation is simply an astronomical figure.

When she heard this figure, she couldn't help but gasp. Although most of it was appropriation from the treasury, she paid a lot of it. The son raised it, and it was a complete loss-making business.

And the most important thing is that the dowry of the married daughter of the Yuan family is also purchased in the palace. When Yuan Jingjing entered the palace as a queen, her dowry has many regulations. All the jewellery, clothing, etc. regulated by the queen are all in the pursuit of luxury, either inlaid with gems or inlaid with pearls. The whole set of dowry has as many as 560 items, all of which are even numbers, and are purchased together by the Ministry of Rites.

Because it cost too much all at once, Wen Mianmian took out 20 taels of silver as a subsidy.

When she thought that there were still two sons waiting for her to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, she suddenly felt that her wallet was so painful, and she wanted to confess to the daughter-in-law who was married at such a high price.

She is used to seeing mountains of gold and silver, and she feels pain. One can imagine the psychology of those common people. If it weren't for the heavy guards, they would risk their lives to grab it.

"It can be seen that my Dongshu is rich, and the imperial court has money."

Someone suddenly came up with such a sentence, and the people began to make up their minds. King Annan was originally rich and famous, and the court has been doing well in the past few years. God bless Dongshu and so on.

The hearts are bleeding and the adults of various families are rushing to send their daughters to become queens. Just this arrangement of betrothal gifts is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. You must know that those betrothal gifts do not need to be returned, that is, Theirs is gone, and they don't even have to pay dowry money, so it can be said that they became queens without spending a penny, and they ascended to heaven from then on, hey~~~
The girls also bit their lips, envious and jealous to the point of bleeding.

The gates of the Yuan Mansion were full of students and gentlemen from all over the world, whispering to each other, and when the drums sounded, they all raised their heads. Today, besides the Ministry of Rites, there was also Hua Jingchang who went out to send for Hua Xiurui. Hua Jingchang not only It is the prince, or the emperor's uncle, and he came to send the appointment to show the respect of Yuanfu.

The Yuan family stood in two rows to greet them. Wen Mianmian issued a special decree to allow them to stand up to receive the dowry. They also filed in. In order to welcome the betrothal gift, Yuan Mansion moved all the flower pots in the yard outside the main hall early, just to make room.

The ceremony officer sang the dowry list, listening to those things with the "copper stink", these scholars were indifferent no matter what they thought in their hearts, and their eyes lit up when they heard so-and-so's lonely copy, so-and-so's picture, and they deserved it. There are ten or twenty liters of Zhigu's picture album, and they all show approval, thinking that it is not insulting the reputation of the elder Mr. Yuan to have these in the emperor's dowry list.

Those things, even the hands hidden in the wide sleeves of Mr. Yuan, who regards money like dung, are a little uneasy. Some people in the Yuan family even silently counted in their hearts how much money the emperor spent to marry their girl. It's a pity. They even use their toes, so they can't figure it out at all, only know that their Yuan family has been rich since then.

It can be said to get rich overnight!
Ah, I will work hard for the emperor in the future.

Next came the dowry from the Yuan family, and the people in the city were envious once more, and their eyes turned red with envy when they learned that these dowries were set up by the imperial court. There is no need to prepare a dowry at home, and the man's family has already arranged it properly. It is too empty to talk about envy, so he can only choose to be numb.

It took six days for the dowry to be carried into the palace. During this period, the envoys from various countries were eye-opening, especially those weaker ones, who were thinking about His Majesty the Emperor Dongshu's marriage. If the money is given to them, their country will be much stronger, they can raise thousands of soldiers, and they can buy more horses. They are even more eager to marry Dongshu, and imagine that Dongshu will also give them so much money. Dowry, even if it is halved?
Enough~
"I'm relieved all of a sudden when this monstrous water is released?"

After the betrothal gift was delivered, the dowry came, and the matter of paying the money was over. Wen Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, while Hua Xiaoer frowned, saying that getting married was the most uneconomical deal. When you come back, the dowry belongs to the girl’s family too, so you can’t touch it, and in the end you’ve earned someone, so why do you want to get married if you’re so good?”

He said he didn't understand, very ignorant.

Turning around, he began to think about how to quickly earn back the money his brother spent on marrying his sister-in-law. The family's money was so low that he felt uncomfortable if he didn't make it up.

As for the youngest son, who has already gone to look at his sister-in-law's dowry happily, he said that there are a lot of sparkles, and he wants to touch them. After his second brother's tireless spiritual baptism for him, he will no longer want to take possession of them just by looking at them. I have it for myself, just appreciate it flatteringly.

Faced with these two sons, the old mother expressed helplessness, and when she was ready to go back, she would take an inventory of the property in the mansion, and think about how to divide it. There are four brothers and sisters, and the money cannot be used by Xiu Rui alone.

More importantly, she also wanted to know how much money there was in the mansion.
