Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 471 Dowry Handover
The 180 six-carrying dowry was carried out from other courtyards, which really made the people watching the excitement outside have an eye-addiction.Seeing that real gold, silver, pearls, jade and gemstones, all kinds of antiques and rare treasures were so brightly placed on top of the red lacquered gold gift box, everyone couldn't help admiring them.

"Look at the dowry, not to mention ordinary people, even the daughters of high-ranking officials, I'm afraid they don't have such a grandeur. It's amazing, this celestial lady is really extraordinary." The people talked a lot.

"What do you say, don't you look at who they are marrying? That's Chu Shizi of the Duke of Dingguo. Who in the capital doesn't know that Chu Shizi is young and promising, and the wealth he has accumulated over the years of trading at sea is It can be compared with the national treasury." Another person laughed.

No matter what the outsiders say, the dowry of 180 liters is real, and the dowry line goes a long way.Chu Ruifeng led the guards to escort the dowry all the way to the princess mansion.

The dowry entered the mansion and was sent directly to Chu Ruifeng's yard, which was the new house.After that, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lin led people to handover with the people from the Princess Mansion.The two parties counted the number and category of the dowry, and after confirming that it was correct, they signed and marked on the dowry list, and then each party held a copy and kept it separately.

Daliao has expressly stipulated that a woman's dowry is not bound by her husband's family, and her husband's family is not allowed to embezzle the daughter-in-law's dowry.Once there is a dowry dispute, the dowry list will be brought out, and the husband's family will make compensation according to the list.Of course, the Chu family naturally didn't care about Qiaoyun's dowry, but the dowry list must be carefully placed, and there must be no mistakes.

On the Chu family's side, responsible for receiving Mrs. Jiang and the others are the He family and the Wen family from the Duke's mansion, that is, the two concubines of the old Duke, Chu Kanghe and Chu Kangtai's daughters-in-law.Chu Ruifeng's marriage is a major event, and there are so many things to be busy with, how can the eldest princess be busy by herself?Some help must be called in.

But the eldest princess's natal family doesn't have many relatives. Although the queen is on good terms with the eldest princess, she can't go out of the palace often, so there are not many helpers here.On the other hand, there were a lot of idlers in the Duke's mansion. Maybe the old Duke thought about it, and later found the time to ask Chu Kangsheng to come over, saying that the wives of the Chu family could come to help.

For those people in the Duke's Mansion, especially the three sisters-in-law of the Xu family and the Fan family, the eldest princess has no good impression at all.On the contrary, the He family and the Wen family are usually silent, but they have good conduct, and they also have some contacts with the princess mansion in private, and they are relatively close.Therefore, the eldest princess personally called the names and asked the two sisters-in-law to come and help.

This move of the eldest princess made the three of Xu, Fan, and Li very angry.Recently, except for the old Duke, all the monthly cases in the Duke's Mansion have been terminated. Xu's and Fan's are tight. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Chu Ruifeng's marriage to make some money.As a result, the eldest princess didn't use them at all, and the plan fell through.The sisters-in-law were very angry, but there was nothing they could do. They could only watch with envy and jealousy that Mrs. He and Mrs. Wen were busy at the Princess Mansion.

The He family and the Wen family were indeed very safe in their affairs. After handing over the dowry to Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lin in an amiable manner, they ordered someone to stay and take care of the dowry, and then led Mrs. Jiang and the others to the side hall. feast.This is also a rule. The husband's family must hold a grand banquet for the person sent by the woman to give the dowry. If the reception is not thoughtful, it will be embarrassing for the groom.

Before Mrs. Jiang left, she specially instructed Chuntao to take good care of the dowry. In addition, the decoration of the new house should be carefully arranged according to Qiaoyun's usual living habits.

Chuntao is Qiaoyun's personal maid, and of course she is going to marry into the Chu family, she brought six or seven maids here today, just to help make the house.Generally speaking, the bride's sisters or the most intimate girl are used to come to this shop. According to the bride's usual habits, some decorations in the new house are arranged, so as to save the bride from marrying. Things are not working well.

Chuntao has been by Qiaoyun's side for a long time, and she knows Qiaoyun's living habits best, so she was sent to bring someone to make room.After Chuntao nodded in agreement, she left behind the two girls and the two maids in charge of the servants, and asked them to guard the dowry here.Then, Chuntao and the others took away all the bedding and other things in the dowry, and went into the back room to make arrangements.

Chuntao directed the girls to save two sets of bedding on the bed, and put the rest in the cabinet.In Qiaoyun's dowry, there were eight beds and eight covers for the quilts alone, four of which were made of cotton, and the other four were made of silk floss.It's not that Qiaoyun can't afford silk floss, in her opinion, cotton is very useful, so there's no need to use all silk floss.

The quilts are laid out, followed by various curtains and curtains, and some small decorations and other objects, all of which are the styles and materials that Qiaoyun is used to on weekdays, but they have been replaced with new ones.

Chuntao was leading someone to clean up, when suddenly Ling Yaer ran in from the outside, "Sister Chuntao, go and have a look, there are some people who look like some kind of wife outside, they have to see our girl The dowry. We guarded it so they wouldn't see it, but they got angry, and this time they're having a fight with Aunt Fang and Aunt Li."

As soon as Chuntao heard Ling Yaer's words, she quickly stopped what she was doing, "Go, go out and see, who came here to make trouble?" This is the Chu family, who has the courage to come to the new house to make trouble? ?

Ling Ya'er led Chun Tao to the living room outside, only to see several gorgeously dressed women pointing at Aunt Li and scolding them. "You don't want to inquire, who are we? We are from the Duke's Mansion, the groom's aunt, come here to see what happened to the dowry? Do you still need to be so defensive?"

As soon as Chuntao heard this, she knew that the people in front of her were the wives of the second and third masters in the Duke's mansion.Chuntao is a dowry girl, and in order to let Chuntao get acquainted with the affairs of the Chu family, Aunt Wei has recently talked to Chuntao about the affairs of the Duke's House.Chuntao is so clever, how can she still not understand this matter?
Chun Tao whispered a few words in Ling Ya'er's ear, and saw Ling Ya'er go out to find someone in a hurry.Here, Chuntao came forward with a smile, and bowed to the people opposite, "It seems that some ladies from the Duke's Mansion have arrived, my servant Chuntao, I have seen some ladies."

Mrs. Xu looked at Chuntao with a disdainful look on her face, "Where did you get that girl? Rustic? Look at the petty looks of you people. My wife just wants to see the dowry of my nephew and daughter-in-law. It is necessary to follow her." Are you guarding against us like thieves? Which family's rule is this? Your master taught you this way?"
