Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 190 Makeup and Welcoming Wedding (2)
This time to buy dowry, Du Zhongsheng raised the price of gold, jade, jewelry, silk, satin, fur, etc. in the capital to more than [-]%.There is no way, who made Jianwei General's Mansion want it so urgently, who can not raise the price when they encounter this kind of opportunity.

Just buying it in this way only cost less than 4 taels of silver, and of course Du Zhong would not hand over the remaining 6 taels of silver. After he reported to his master, Du Heng ordered Du Zhong to seal the 3 taels of silver in red. Seal it up, and send it to Prince Ning's mansion when you get married, and have the right to use it as money for furniture and shops.Who made the time given by Prince Ning's Mansion to be so tight that there was no time to prepare the furniture.Even if she, Du Heng, came here for joy, she would not make a slight mistake in etiquette.

There was still 3 taels left, and Du Zhong was afraid that the eldest girl would return it to the mansion because of her kindness, so he hurriedly said: "Miss, this 3 taels of silver will be your box silver. Any girl must have it when she goes out. "Du Heng nodded. In fact, she really didn't want to return the 3 taels. Even if it was porridge and medicine, it was much better than returning it. Since Du Dahai sold his daughter for glory, don't blame her for being cruel.

When the auspicious time came, Du Zhong took all his companions to give the dowry, alarming the people in half the city. The news that Prince Ning's mansion married the third young lady to the third son to celebrate his happiness has spread all over the capital, and many good people have spread The long neck is waiting for a joke.

Those who didn't want to send dowry lined up in a long line, and the 72 generous dowries almost blinded the eyes of the good-for-nothing.Tut tut!Look at how bright and shiny those fashionable silks and satins are, they are all the latest and best colors this year, and the white, purple, black and yellow furs are so thick and fine, you can tell they are from the Northland at a glance top grade fur.

Yo!There are still antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are as many as [-] liters. Isn't this Jianwei General's Mansion just a muddy leg that has just washed the mud from his legs, how can there be so many antique calligraphy and paintings?Many people were discussing in low voices.

Of course, General Jianwei's Mansion doesn't have many valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, but Prince Ning's Mansion does.At that time, Princess Ning sent sixty dowry gifts, and she had already thought about this problem. She already felt that Du Heng had been wronged in her heart, so naturally she would not let her suffer unnecessary grievances.Du Zhong is also good enough, none of the antique calligraphy and painting was left to the Jianwei General's Mansion, and all of them were sent back as a dowry, but between sending them back and forth, these things are Du Heng's private property up.

Oh!He also accompanied three Zhuangzi with so much land!The three Zhuangzi are divided into three lifts, with fifty to seventy tiles placed on each lift. In the old practice in Beijing, when ordinary people marry a daughter, one tile represents one mu or one hectare of land. For a family, one tile represents ten mu of land. The three Zhuangzi that Du Heng married were 650 mu, [-] mu and [-] mu. An impressive sum of money!
What is this, look, there are three big shops, all of which are connected by five or seven rooms, darling, it costs money to marry a happy daughter in General Jianwei's mansion!An idle man put his hands in the sleeves of his torn padded jacket, and said enviously and hatefully.

"Hey, don't think about what kind of family you married into, and you have to try your best to please the palace. What is this thing, as long as you keep the position of General Jianwei, you will earn much more than this in the future!" Another well-informed The person sucked his teeth and said.

As soon as the dowry sending team entered Ningxiang Street in front of Prince Ning's Mansion, they walked opposite the dowry sending team coming from the other side.On Ningxiang Street, there is only the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion. If you want to send a dowry, you can only send it to Prince Ning's Mansion. Du Zhong was shocked at that time.

When he was young, the dog ran back and forth: "Grandpa, that is the dowry delivery team from the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and it was also for our girls. It was the Duke who delivered the dowry himself, and the Duke asked you to hurry over so that the two places can be separated." The dowry is combined into one place and made into 72 lifts, so as not to exceed the etiquette system."

Du Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got off his horse and ran to Duke Zhen's horse.Wu Jingming knew that Du Zhong was a loyal old servant, so he said with a smile: "Your girl is also the second girl of our Zhen Guogong's mansion, and this dowry must be prepared for her. Quickly order your people to share the dowry with you." come over."

Du Zhong agreed without further ado, Gou Zi ran back to pass on the message, the teams on both sides had a lot of fuss before they combined the two 72 dowries into a 72 dowry. The red ribbon tied with the big red ball was blocking it, and it might have fallen off.

The two teams merged into one team, and the two gong and drum teams also merged into one, and the wuliwala played more vigorously.

Just as they were entering the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, there was another sound of drumming from behind, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a small group of drummers leading a fat man with mischievous eyebrows, holding a red and gold wedding box, coming over.

Du Zhong looked at Lord Zhen, and saw that Lord Zhen was also looking at him, apparently neither of them knew what was going on.The chubby fat man walked up to Lord Zhen Guo and Du Zhong, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "The villain is deeply indebted to Mrs. Du, and today the eldest lady has a dowry, so the villain is here to add make-up to the eldest lady." After finishing speaking, he handed the red and gold-plated wedding box to Duke Zhen's personal servant.

Zheng Guogong immediately opened the box and saw that there was a thick gift list in the box. Zhen Guogong flipped through the wedding box, and couldn't help but gasped.He immediately closed the wedding box and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, you have received great kindness from your father-in-law and sister?"

This fat man is none other than Third Young Master Xiao's subordinate Jin Si, and this gift book is not his wish alone, but the wish of all Xiao Ze's subordinates.Now there is no one in Xiao Ze's subordinates who doesn't know how mighty his wife is, so he has to stammer to please her, so that if he makes a mistake in the future, someone will talk to him.Jin Si hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, the eldest girl has a great grace for the villain's life. A little care is not enough to show respect. I also ask the Duke to put it in the eldest girl's dowry."

Duke Zheng hesitated a bit, this fat man was not like a good person, so he couldn't accept such a vague gift.

Jin Si was in a hurry, and he hurriedly said: "Master, you must accept it. These things are not only for the eldest girl, but also for the third son." Jin Si bit the three words "third son" emphatically. , Wu Jingming understood a little bit.He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it for my younger sister. If she doesn't want it in the future, she should return it to you. Tell me the address."

Jin Si said cheerfully: "If Madam wants to retire, she can just retreat to Nuanmei Villa at the foot of Qingliu Mountain. The villain's name is Jin Si, Madam will know later." Wu Jingming nodded and accepted the wedding box.Jin Si breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried away. Now he can't show up too much in front of Prince Ning's mansion. He only hopes that his wife will "recover" when he enters the door, and they don't have to sneak around anymore.
