Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 139 Dowry (2)

The fifth prince didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't answer Huang Jingjie's words at all. The smile on Huang Jingjie's face gradually became bitter. He turned his head and looked downstairs, feeling extremely sour for a moment. He knew the fifth brother's temper best. He himself, if it sounds bad, is selfish. He has a relationship with himself, but he will not extend this relationship to the entire Huang family. If the old man is gone, what will happen to the Huang family?
"The old man's illness is still not recovering?" After a long time, the Fifth Prince asked abruptly.

"Yes." Huang Jingjie was a little surprised, and hurriedly replied, the fifth prince turned his head and glanced at him and said, "You haven't been back to Datong Mansion for more than ten years, right?" , I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this, the fifth prince shook his folding fan and said: "The tree is about to branch, and the points will be scored. If you remember the fifth, you might as well let the fifth move to the capital." The fifth is Huang Jingjie's younger brother, Huang Jingyi. Huang Jingjie stared at the fifth prince speechless. He really saw him right, and his relationship with him really wouldn't benefit the Huang family.

Downstairs is already bustling. As a place for banquets for big merchants who have business dealings with the Huang family and Li Tian, ​​foreigners have been refused since yesterday. The relationship between the curious people who want to see the dowry depends on the location, and the streets downstairs are even more crowded. The dowry is the best at the entrance of Qingfenglou. Really good service.

The first to carry the dowry all the way, except for the first pair of gold inlaid jade, is Qing Yishui's huanghuali furniture. It attracts people's attention, these furniture are all used by Li Tian herself, she will not make gorgeous and uncomfortable designs just to dazzle people's eyes.

After the furniture, when the dowry was lifted immediately, people's eyes widened. This dowry is too different. According to the rules, when the dowry is lifted, it is a suitcase with an object. In the early years, Li Tian's mother The dowry carried by the four people who caused a sensation in the capital with my aunt was a big box with objects placed on it, but today the dowry carry has four floors at a time, filled with things from top to bottom, and one lift is at least equal to four lifts of others dowry!
The order of the dowry is clear. After the furniture, there are gold wares of various colors. When the dowry is raised in front of the head, there are four red gold ruyis placed in a row on the top floor. It's hard to keep your eyes open. When you lift the dowry in the back, there are all kinds of goldware, from ornaments to fruit plates and dishes, throwing pots and wine flags, tent hook candlesticks, and all kinds of jewelry. There are everything that you can think of. The golden light flowed from Duke Yong's mansion to the Fifth Prince's mansion, crossing half of the capital, the first one carrying the red gold Ruyi entered the gate of the Fifth Prince's mansion, and the last golden vessel had not yet left the Yongguo Mansion.

The fifth prince was stunned, and dare to love her dowry, which is all red gold, so vulgar, who is he going to disgust?

"How can there be such a dowry?" The fifth prince couldn't help shouting, Huang Jingjie also looked straight at it, all red gold dowry?It's too... even a businessman like him thinks it's too vulgar.

"Look at the back, it's only been more than an hour. Yesterday I heard from shopkeeper Wang that in order to carry the dowry, he hired all the veterans in the capital. It can be said that it was only more than an hour in the afternoon. Take a look." Huang Jingjie explained uncertainly, regretting not sending someone to ask for a dowry booklet earlier, the dowry was so frightening.

The golden light along the way has already caused a sensation in the capital. This kind of dowry and so many gold objects have never happened before. In the market, everyone flocked to the side of the dowry roadside to look at it, Li Tian This dowry has never been done before, and no one has been able to match it to one percent after that. Those who missed this excitement will regret their lack of vision decades later.

There were too many people looking at the dowry. Fortunately, Hou Fuyin had more opportunity to see the situation. On the one hand, he urgently ordered Guo Tui to lead the yamen servants to maintain the evacuation, and on the other hand, he urgently ordered people to notify the eldest prince to transfer the three yamen in front of the palace to maintain. Several intersections were listed. The human wall ensures the smooth progress of the dowry team.

Guo Tuiguan kept wiping his sweaty head with his sleeve, and looked at Mr. Hong, the staff member who was also sweating profusely, and smiled wryly: "No wonder the two brothers from the Ningyuan Hou's mansion were so cruel. Dowry..." Guo Tuiguan turned his head and glanced at the line of jade wares that were more dazzling than the gold wares in front of him. He grinned and didn't know what to say. Yu Ding sighed and said, "No wonder I married Fifth Master, so I want this dowry..."

"Yes." Guo Tuiguan replied clearly: "Aside from the official family, who else can afford to marry? I don't know how many more will be left behind." Mr. Hong reached out and touched the stack of silver notes in his arms: "Listen just now What the shopkeeper means is that at least after noon, I think the bank notes will be distributed to the big guys in a while, people spend the money just to be happy, and the bank notes will be distributed as soon as possible, and the big guys will be happy when they are tired."

"Well, that's it." Guo Tuiguan stretched his neck and stared at the dowry flowing in front of him. His eyes were not enough. Mr. Hong didn't dare to look too much. He took a few steps back and went to count the head to share the money.

After receiving the letter, the eldest prince looked around and saw that everything was in order, so he went straight to Qingfeng Tower.

The fifth prince has already sent someone to rush to fetch the dowry booklet. According to the dowry gift rule, the dowry booklet must be put in the dowry first.The fifth prince got the dowry booklet and just opened a page. Seeing the eldest prince coming up, he hurriedly greeted him. The eldest prince stood in front of the window, looked in the direction of Duke Yong's mansion and asked, "How long has it been?"

"Looks like it's still early." The fifth prince flipped through the dowry booklet and said, "I've just passed here, and there's still more to come." The eldest prince turned around and took the dowry booklet handed over by the fifth prince, and flipped through the various embroideries of various colors. Antique calligraphy and painting, directly turned to the back to see the amount of cash and the dense rows of Zhuangzi and shops, took a light breath, looked at the fifth prince with no expression, and smiled after a while: "You The God of Wealth married back home, no wonder you played lotteries when you were young, and you caught money back home. How is it better than your family?" The eldest prince turned his head and joked with Huang Jingjie, Huang Jingjie bowed and said: "In terms of Xiaojia, it is really incomparable, unless Dozens of small families add up.”

"What does she mean by that?" The fifth prince's eyebrows were knotted together: "Who is this showing off for? Back then, her mother carried the dowry with four people, and what she carried was a box. What's wrong with carrying a box? Look at her, It's all open to the outside, lest people don't know, what do you mean that everyone in the capital must be known? Am I trying to get her dowry?"

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the fifth prince who was either angry or awkward, and smiled after a while: "If she hadn't married you, she would definitely not be like this. She acts like this because she knows that you can protect me." Stop her." The fifth prince's eyes flickered slightly, he hummed angrily, and crackled the folding fan, the eldest prince didn't know what he thought of, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the building for a while. The ancient paintings, ancient inkstones and inkstones that passed by like flowing water, turned around after a while, looked at the fifth prince and smiled: "By the way, did the Ministry of Rites tell you? My father said something before, and I will let you greet him tomorrow." .”

"You, the third brother, and the fourth brother didn't greet you in person, so why do you want me to greet you in person?" The fifth prince called out, and the first prince also spread his hands in confusion and said with a smile: "I asked Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Zheng said it was Mr. Jian's. I mean, it's for your own good."

"For my own good?" The fifth prince yelled strangely, and when he mentioned Master Jian, he felt sullen. I heard that he was the one who figured out that he and Mrs. Li's family were lucky: "What does he mean? Before she came in, I was cursing and fawning." up?"

"How can there be any relationship between this kiss and eagerness?" The eldest prince reprimanded with a straight face, the fifth prince turned his head and didn't speak anymore, only shaking the fan in his hand.

In a teahouse not far from the fifth prince's mansion, the fourth prince stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking expressionlessly at the seemingly endless dowry procession downstairs.Ye Shusheng's face turned pale. This dowry is comparable to the entire Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, maybe even more. If my aunt knew that Li's wife had so much dowry, would she have followed Si Ye's wish and let Si Ye marry her? Mrs. Li's family?
In Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Sun closed her eyes half-closed and listened intently to her mother-in-law's non-stop recounting what dowries she had passed. She felt sad and uneasy when she heard it. Even if she doesn't know the Ningyuan Hou's mansion well, she is clear about it. How many times has she counted the two dowries of Mrs. Lin and Li Tian's mother? How can there be so many?It is only two or three out of ten of today's dowry, and now there are so many, Mrs. Lin is so good at management. Mrs. Lin has said many times that when it comes to management, Sister Tian is the best... Mrs. Sun I regretted it for a while, if the fourth brother had such help, how could he worry about money?

Could it be for this dowry that she could point it to Fifth Master?I didn't even know that she had so many dowry, who else would know?official?Mrs. Sun shivered subconsciously. If it was an official, what was his intention?Help fifth master?Or let him have money and no one, and be a rich prince?

Concubine Ye Gui also heard the report of the dowry. Unlike Mrs. Sun, she didn't take it seriously. She dismissed the servant who reported the news, leaned back on the couch, and chatted casually with Lu Shanggong: Whether silver is useful or not depends on where it is. If it is a poor family, how many taels of silver is a big deal, but we are the royal family, so what is silver? How much silver can she have to show off to the royal family? What is useless is the silver, to put it harshly, one day it will be bad, and the real white silk will be rewarded, can the silver save her?"

"Your Majesty is very true." Lu Shanggong listened intently, and said a few words of flattery from time to time.
