Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 536 Seeing the Dowry Causes Trouble (1)
Hong Zhiyuan, the second son of Dr. Hong at the Tanzhou Academy, participated in the No. 1 high school of the Hunan Taoist Examination, and was determined to be the number one in the autumn imperial examination.

Dr. Hong had already received the letter from He Jingyan and the wedding invitation from the Li family. After discussing with his wife, Mrs. Li, and reporting to his parents, Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Liu, he decided to go to Chang’an with his family to attend Li Jingjing and He Jingyan’s wedding ceremony. wedding banquet, and then followed them to Longdi to set up a college.

Hong Zhiyuan happened to want to travel far to learn more, and he also really wanted to see Li Yunxiao and other young people, so he agreed to go to Chang'an.

At the same time, Rong Wang and his wife, Deng Jing and his wife, Hai Wang and others returned to Chang'an one after another in order to attend the wedding banquet of He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of April, and several ordinary carriages were galloping along the official road from Ludi to Chang'an.

Sitting in the car was a person from Zaoshan Village, Xiaoman Town, Qingzhou. He Sanshan, who was over eighty years old and wrinkled, took his five sons and daughters to Qingwang Mansion for a wedding banquet.

They met Li Bing, his wife and Li Yunxiao in their hometown last year, and they knew that He Qing and Kong Ye had such good relatives, so they were happy for them.

At dusk, the convoy finally arrived at Prince Qing's Mansion. He Jingxin and Zhao Sheben, the second housekeeper, greeted him at the main gate and invited all the villagers inside.

It's not the first time for He Sanshan and his family to come to Prince Qing's Mansion, but this time they are here for a wedding and not to give New Year's goods. The gift they brought was a set of ruby ​​jewelry bought together by the whole village, worth 2000 taels of silver. This is very expensive for them.

Kong Ye opened the mahogany box and saw the shining jewelry, he hurriedly said: "We sent someone to send you a letter saying not to send too expensive gifts, why is it so expensive?"

He Sanshan is someone who has seen the world, knowing that this set of jewelry is far inferior to the royal family's treasures, he said nervously: "We gave this to the little prince's daughter-in-law, Princess Huguo, and I'm afraid she might not like it. "

Kong Ye said confidently: "Uncle San, my daughter-in-law will definitely make an agreement when she sees her."

Only then did He Sanshan smile.His three sons couldn't let him go, but his three daughters-in-law and two daughters could chat with Kong Ye.

When he was young, He Jingmiao came back from looking at the furniture in Prince Yan's Mansion, and was very happy to see everyone, especially Doudou, his playmate from last year.

When He Sanshan entered the mansion just now, he saw the lanterns and festoons in various courtyards, and asked, "Isn't the little prince's new house here?"

It is not the first time for He Qing to explain this matter, he said very naturally: "Sanbo, my eldest brother gave Jing Yan and my daughter an independent Prince Yan Mansion. Their young couple will get married here, and they will live in Prince Yan Mansion later. .”

Douglas couldn't believe it, and asked suspiciously, "The little prince and the princess are moving out alone?"

The custom of the Ding Dynasty is that the eldest son has to live with his parents since he was a child, even if he becomes a grandfather when he is old.

Kong Ye said anxiously: "My family, Jing Yan, and my daughter take care of Xin Lang, and have decided to leave this place for Xin Lang to live in after his wedding."

Every inch of land in Chang'an is expensive. Apart from the imperial palace, the largest ones are the several palaces. Prince Qing's Mansion is one of them. There are countless furniture and antiques in the mansion. It cannot be said that it is priceless, but it is also extremely expensive.

He Jingyan and Li Jingjing gave He Jingxin such a magnificent palace. Such a generous elder brother and elder sister-in-law are rare in the world.

For He Qing and Kong Ye, the palms and backs of their three children are all meat, and He Jingyan would not ask He Jingxin to give him the best because He Jingxin was born with a disability, but this matter was brought up by He Jingyan and Li Jingjing, saying yes Everything is for the good of this family.

However, Kong Ye felt that doing this would treat He Jingyan and Li Jingjing too badly, and felt very uneasy.

He Qingdao: "After Jing Yan and his daughter get married, they will leave Chang'an to go to the fief granted by my eldest brother. Afraid that we will be lonely, let Miao Lang live here with us after we get married."

Doudou's two aunts both praised: "Family and everything is going well. The little prince and princess are really open-minded." "Little prince and princess are so filial, you are really blessed."

He Sanshan glanced at He Jingxin who was bowing his head and thinking, and said: "The little prince and the princess are elder brothers and elder sisters-in-law. They have set such a good example. The little prince will definitely be filial to you when he gets married."

He Jingxin raised his head, looked at his parents with kind faces, and became more determined in his heart to marry a good daughter-in-law who was as filial and generous as Li Jingjing, and be filial to his parents who had cared for him for more than ten years.

On the fifth day of April, according to the customs of the Ding Dynasty, brothers He Jingyan and He Jingxin happily brought gifts to Li's house to deliver the sedan chair.

A pair of adult wild geese, two wild boars, two [-]-jin Bahe carp, [-] jin of palace crisp candy, [-] jin of extra-grade brown sugar, and [-] jin of extra-grade tea. These are the six gifts carried in front of the sedan chair.

In the afternoon of the same day, He Jingyan and He Jingxin returned to Prince Qing's Mansion and took away Li Jingjing's dowry.

The dowry that the Li family gave to Li Jingjing included 62 pieces of rare jewels and antiques over a century old, 20 taels of bank notes, 40 acres of land, [-] shops, and one piece of Jinshen furniture for the front, bedroom, and study rooms. Set, [-] servants and servants.

The dowry that Li Jingjing saved since she was a child includes a luxurious and unique Four Seasons Manor in Chang'an, six shops, 500 acres of medicine fields, nearly 500 pieces of jewelry, treasures and antiques, 12 handwritten books, [-] million taels of bank notes, and [-] soldiers. Servants, servants, eight servants, and [-] attendants.

Such a luxurious dowry was the first in Chang'an, far surpassing that of He Yiyun, the first princess of the royal family, and more than ten times more than the dowry of the fifth princess He Jinglian who remarried a few days ago.

Ten miles of red makeup passes through the most prosperous street in Chang'an, and ordinary people flock to see each piece of treasures and antiques, a huge amount of bank notes, and rare golden silk furniture, all of which are shocking.

Many literati were stunned and unbelievable when they saw the hand-copied books in rattan baskets and heard the number of [-] copies. You must know that the Liu family, the head of the four major families, did not have so many books.

"Li Bing, that evil star, usually hides it really deeply. He is so rich."

"Last time, who said that the Li family was a donkey dung, let him come over and see the dowry that the Li family gave to Princess Huguo!"

"Women who are married, water that is poured out! Li Bing, the evil spirit, sent all the valuables of the Li family to Qing Wang's family."

Following the previous two big weddings held by the Li family, this is the third high-profile event, which made those people who have been making fun of the Li family's lack of wealth and relying on Li Jingjing to support them go crazy.

However, these people had a new argument, "Your Majesty's dowry to the First Princess is not as much as Li Bing's to the Protector Princess."

"Where did Li Bing get so much money?"

"Li Bing clamors to kill corrupt officials every day. He is the biggest corrupt official in our dynasty!"

The dowry procession walked slowly, and many nobles from Chang'an lived in the streets they passed.
