Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 104 Visiting (4)

Zhu Xiongying originally thought that Chang Jizu was his cousin after all, so he would be considered as an extra confidant by his side.

But I didn't expect that this kid was not only stupid but also a little muddy.

Seeing Chang Sheng running around the yard chasing his son, beating him so loudly, he was angry and laughing in his heart, so he shook his head and caught up with the old lady.

Empress Ma had already sat down on the main seat in the room, surrounded by a group of Chang family members.

Not long after Zhu Xiongying came in, the eldest aunt Feng came over with a smiling little girl in her arms, and presented it in front of the old lady like a treasure.

"Oh, look, look!" Seeing the child, Empress Ma burst into laughter from ear to ear, and said with a smile, "What a handsome girl, do you have a name?"

Chang Mao's wife Feng said with a smile, "Go back to your mother, this girl is not famous yet, her nickname is Niu Niu!"

She is the daughter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng, with a dignified figure and slightly plump body.

"Niu Niu!" Empress Ma was slightly taken aback when she heard the name, and then said with a look of loneliness on her face, "Yeah. That's a good name!"

As he said that, for some reason, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Zhu Xiongying's hand.

"As soon as I heard the name, I suddenly thought of Da Niu!"

The big girl that Empress Ma spoke of was Zhu Xiongying's biological mother, the late Crown Princess, and the daughter of the Chang family, Chang's.

"Back then, when I first saw the big girl, she was just this big!" Empress Ma looked at the baby girl in her infancy, and said to Chang Mao with some sadness, "When I saw her, I was very surprised." No. At that time, your father said, when the big girl can talk in the future, call me a godmother!"

As she spoke, Empress Ma lightly touched the baby girl's little face, "Later, the big girl is both my goddaughter and my daughter-in-law, and it is better for me to take her than my own daughter. But who knows, she is better than my own daughter?" My old lady, it's still early!"

The old lady's words filled the room with sadness.

Chang Mao was a very burly man, and said with tears in his eyes, "It's only to blame, big girl is so lucky!"

Zhu Xiongying was also a little sad, and reached out to help Empress Ma wipe away her tears.

"Hey, what are you talking about for the Chinese New Year!" Empress Ma squeezed out a smile and looked at Zhu Xiongying, "Fortunately, the big girl also left me brother Ying!" She said, and said, "In a blink of an eye, he was so big!"

The so-called mother and uncle, Chang Mao and Zhu Xiongying are very close.

"Has your Highness ridden a horse recently?" Chang Mao said with a smile, "After the new year, I ask you to take you to Nanyuan Farm for hunting!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "That's a good relationship. It's really boring to be alone in the palace recently!" Then he said, "But hunting is not interesting. If uncle is okay, how about taking Gu to the army to watch martial arts?"

"As long as the prince agrees!" Chang Mao said with a smile, "I have nothing to do!"

"It's tiring to listen to you guys!" Empress Ma laughed beside her, "Dear uncle and nephew, what kind of lonely minister!" Then she smiled at Chang Mao, "Your family is married to Wen Zhong's family, he The dog boy at home is going to marry your second brother's daughter, have you prepared the dowry list?"

Speaking of this, he continued after pondering, "You must be more careful when you get married, and the dowry must be generous!"

"It's been prepared a long time ago!" Chang Mao smiled, "I'll bring it here for you to have a look!" After finishing speaking, he gave his wife Feng a look, and the latter left with a smile.

After a while, a big red hard-shell folio book came up.

"Brother Ying, grandma has bad eyesight, show me!" Empress Ma laughed.

Zhu Xiongying took it, and then opened it.The hard-shell book is folded in half up and down, and opened in half.

As soon as it was opened, there was a big red happy word on the top page.

There are two lines of extraordinary notes on each side of the word Xi, and on the right side are romantic branches connected with each other, and the shady leaves are luxuriant and the years are prolonging the year.On the left is the otherworldly couple of gods and gods, Yingmen is festive and happy.

The bottom side is black and white.

The big family respects the relatives, the dowry, a farm, and [-] acres of paddy fields.Gold butt and silver butt, twenty boxes each.Ten shops, hundreds of silks and satins
"hiss!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help taking a deep breath, the dowry was too generous.

Looking further down, what about dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, coral white jade gems, Shu brocade and Su silk, leather wagons and horses are not in Chinese.The dowry list prepared by the Chang's family was filled with a whole page.

In addition to those valuable things, even chopsticks, socks and pillowcases are prepared, and they are all in pairs.The chopsticks are made of ivory, and the pillowcases are all embroidered with mandarin ducks in gold thread.
"Is this a bride price or a dowry?" Zhu Xiongying couldn't help asking.

Chang Mao smiled and said, "Of course it's a dowry!"

"The dowry is so rich, what does the Li family take as a dowry?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

At this moment, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the betrothal gift that would kill people in the later generations!

"Betrothal gift?" Chang Mao was slightly astonished, and smiled, "He can give whatever he wants, anyway, it is the daughter of Chang's family after marriage, and he will take it back with him!"

"It's not about selling a girl, just make dowry as you wish!" Empress Ma also laughed.

No matter how much dowry is given, the mother's family doesn't want a penny, and a generous dowry is required to marry a daughter.Of course, in this era, such a dowry husband's family can't move.It is the private money of the married woman. Even if the woman dies, the money must be passed on to the children born to the woman.

Just like him, Zhu Xiongying, there is a separate storehouse in the inner treasury of the palace, which holds the dowry of his biological mother Chang's back then.

"You must marry Hou Hou!" Empress Ma laughed again, "Otherwise, you will not be tough when you talk to your in-laws in the future!"

This sentence reminded Zhu Xiongying of many things.

In the previous life, several friends and classmates around him were almost collapsed by the bride price.Several of them failed, and even if they did, I still have a lot of pimples in my heart.

"This list looks good, but I still feel that something is missing!" At this time, Empress Ma thought about it and continued, "Let's do it, I won't add anything. Looking back, Chang's daughter's For the wedding dress, I asked the Suzhou Weaving Bureau to make it." Then he laughed, "I have a license to embroider the Phoenix!"

This is a great grace, Suzhou's manufacturing bureau is dedicated to the royal family, not to mention courtiers like the Chang family, even the princes who want to wear the clothes there must be granted by the emperor to be eligible to wear them.

"Sir, thank you for your grace!" Chang Mao hurriedly saluted.

"Family, don't engage in such outsider things!" Empress Ma smiled, but then her face turned a little dark, "Oh, Gou Wa's child's leg was broken by his father, I don't know if it will delay the wedding! "

Chang Mao thought about it and asked, "What is it that makes Cao Guogong so angry?"

"You still don't know?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

"How did I know?" Chang Mao wondered, "What happened?"

Zhu Xiongying thought about it, and smiled, "He went to a brothel, and his father caught him, and broke his leg directly!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Empress Ma laughed out loud.

But Chang Mao's complexion changed drastically, his eyebrows furrowed together, and he gritted his teeth.

At this moment, the officials from the Chang Mansion came in and whispered a few words in Chang Mao's ear.

Afterwards, Chang Mao said again, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Yongchang is here!"

"Lan Yu is here?" Zhu Xiongying smiled, "Let him in quickly!"
