Chapter 378

[Twenty boxes is a bit small, do you know brother, tell me, is there a stipulated number for the dowry in ancient times? ]
[It seems that there are only certain things that are stipulated, which are necessary for the next job, and the rest depends on the financial resources and importance of the South. ]
[Don't just look at the quantity, look at the quality. I believe that Yan Suizhi will give Xiao Yu'er the best. ]
[Haven't you been slapped enough?Whenever Sui Zhizai didn't use his strength to crush the prince, this time it will be no exception. He will only pay more attention to Yuzai's matter. ]
Shen Jiayu is also wearing a red dress today. The betrothal is a fixed date. As soon as the betrothal gift is handed over, the ceremony will be held when the wedding day arrives. People from the Yu Mansion come to help early in the morning. Shen Lingfeng and Shen Lingyun also All matters were dealt with yesterday, and now they are waiting at the door.

Yan Suizhi rode a tall horse, followed by a long procession, to Shen's mansion, and the colorful cannons were fired.

Shen Lingfeng lit the firecrackers hanging in front of the mansion, burned incense and fired the cannons, Shen Lingyun respectfully invited Empress Li and Yan Suizhi to enter the mansion, the elders of Yu Mansion and Shen Mansion sat in high positions, and the juniors stood all the way, Follow people all the way to the main hall.

Shen Jiayu sat quietly, and when she saw Concubine Li, she immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."

Concubine Li held her hand to help him up: "Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't have to see each other anymore, and they are not in the palace, and they even performed the full salute, Suizhi, come here quickly."

Yan Suizhi came over and stood side by side with Shen Jiayu, the two hooked their hands quietly, and took their seats under Yu Shuiyao's call. in the first place.

There were several ranks higher than the Minister of Rites, and he greeted with fists together: "Yu Jijiu, Bachelor Yu."

Yu Hongyi and Yu Zhengye nodded.

"They said that the crown prince prepared thirty boxes, but you only prepared twenty boxes. Guess you will lose."

Shen Jiayu and Yan Suizhi were chatting head to head.

"I won't let you lose."

Yan Suizhi also imitated her, lowered his voice and spoke in a breathy voice. After sitting down, the two of them folded their hands and placed them on Yan Suizhi's lap. There were melons, pastries and drinks on the table. The adults are all exchanging greetings and greeting the Minister of Rites.

Shen Jiayu frowned.

Concubine Li said: "I have received a lot of rewards in the palace over the past few years, and it is useless to leave them alone, so I packed up two boxes for dowry gifts. Since I couldn't go past the crown prince, the Ministry of Rites prepared three boxes, and the remaining ten boxes The five boxes were all saved by Suizhi himself."

"Don't look at the small number of boxes, there are everything in it, and Jiayu will definitely not be wronged. I would like to ask the servant to publish the gift list."

When exchanging name cards at that time, Yan Suizhi brought a lot of good things and put them in the warehouse of the Shen residence. Yu Shuiyao and Shen Xingchao were not greedy for dowry gifts. The second time was even more massive.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites took the folded gift list, a thick book, folded it, and read aloud: "100 taels of gold, 50 bolts of colorful satin, [-] yuan, [-] bolts of variegated cloth, and [-] sets of Sichuan brocade. , twenty horses, fifty sheep, and fifty jugs of wine."

When Shen Jiayu heard this, he looked out: "Where are the horses and sheep?"

How can so many horses and sheep make noise? She has never seen anyone leading the horses and sheep.

Yan Suizhi said: "This is something stipulated when the appointment was made, but in fact, everyone will not follow it as it is. Usually, flattery and lambs will be exchanged for corresponding silver taels, and twenty horses and fifty horses will be brought in. Who will feed the sheep?"

"Generally, they will pull a horse and a sheep, and tie red silk on their heads to express happiness."

Yan Suizhi saw that her interest was fading, and seemed a little disappointed, so he raised his eyebrows: "Do you want it?"

Shen Jiayu thought about it, and the scene of twenty horses neighing and fifty sheep bleating was a bit noisy, so he shook his head.

"Isn't there a lamb, just touch it."

She probably prefers to eat hot-boiled mutton.

The attendant of the Ministry of Rites continued: "Golden bracelets, gold bracelets, gold pendants, large gold sleeves, yellow gold skirts, satin red long skirts, special buns with pearls and emeralds, crowns with jewels and emeralds, four-season crowns with flowers, and beaded and emerald rings. "

As the gift list was chanted, each box was opened, especially the box containing gold, which was so shiny that it almost blinded people's eyes.

[Wow, this is the first time I have seen so much gold, it would be great if it was all mine! ]
[Baojuaner, my eyes, ah, are blind. ]
[Whoever makes me sleep on a pile of gold, I will not marry him! ]
[Two boxes have only been opened, and the gift list has only been read for [-]% off, oh, I'm tired of listening. ]
