Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 198
Alian Lina's wedding is on March 22, and all the dowry has been prepared, and the Nangong family is waiting to marry her.

Just when everyone was preparing for Nangong's parents to come to the UK, Mrs. Shafiq suddenly remembered one thing, money in the box!
The so-called pressed money is an ancient custom, which is still kept with great solemnity in some parts of central France.In the area of ​​Peili and Anyu, when a girl gets married, either from her natal family or her husband’s family, she must be given a sum of gold or silver, or twelve, or 140, or 140. Depends on family circumstances.When the poorest shepherdess gets married, she must have money in the box, even if it is topped up with large copper coins.In the area of ​​Yisutun, there is still talk of a wealthy daughter who was raised alone, and the money in the box was [-] four Portuguese gold coins.Catherine de' Medici married Henry II, and her uncle, Pope Clement VII, gave her a set of ancient gold medals, priceless. ——"Eugenie Grandet"

"My Merlin, where can I find money in the box now?" Mr. Brian asked anxiously.

"Be quiet, dad, I know a place." Of course Hilbert knew, the vault of Gringotts Bank, where he put Salazar Slytherin's estate in a unified way.Certainly in Salazar's legacy.

Gringotts Bank Vault 5201314.

"Hurry up! Are you here for vacation and leisure? Hurry up!"

Godric yelled at the goblins who were carrying gold coins.

"Hey! Godric."

"I have something to make an appointment at the front desk, I'm now—" A pair of hands patted down hard on the back.

"Hilbert? What are you doing here?"

"Withdraw money, my sister is getting married. I need a sum of cash. Take me to vault No. 233."

"Oh, good, hurry up!"

Speeding along the maze-like winding passages, the icy air whizzed by, hurting the eyes, "Listen to me! Hill! If your political party is elected successfully! You must improve the transportation here! said Godric loudly.

"Vault 233, here we are."

Hilbert opened the door of the vault.A thick puff of green smoke billowed from the door, and when the smoke cleared, Godric gasped.Inside were piles of gold coins, silver bars, and mountains of bronze coins.

"I'll look for it, the box money! Ah! Here it is." Hilbert opened an oak box next to it, which contained a total of 1200 gold medals.Enough is enough, Hilbert stuffed it all into the infinitely stretchable backpack, grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into Godric's hands, "Buy wine tonight!"

After Hilbert returned home, Nangong Xiongying's parents also came.

The gifts they brought can be described as eye-catching.

Four sets of jewel-encrusted jewellery, two sets of fashionable styles outside, various traditional Chinese jewellery.Two pairs of golden heads and four sandalwood boxes.

When the box was opened, everyone was stunned.

There are four full boxes of silver curries, but the thumbs are big enough to be rolled into "peanuts", "lotus seeds", etc. They look small and cute, but they are different from ordinary silver curries, as if there are dark lines covering them .Daphne picked up a peanut-shaped silver clasp, looked closely, only to find that it was covered with wish-fulfilling patterns and blessing patterns.

"This is a thank you gift. After the wedding is over, I will use it to thank the person who helped organize the wedding." Mr. Nangong said that he was about forty years old, with a burly body and calluses on his hands.Mrs. Nangong is also about the same age, but she is surprisingly well maintained.Maybe it's the humid climate in the south.

Hilbert made a calculation in his heart.

This silver box is about one tael at most, and it is a box that is one foot wide, one foot half long, and half a foot high, and it is full of it.

After the four boxes are down, the seven and eight hundred taels may not be able to deal with it, and the in-law's family still has a lot of land with title deeds.The total value is about 800 million RMB.And on my side, apart from jewelry, furniture, and box money, the total amount is only 500 million.If the dowry of the mother's family is not enough, she will be looked down upon in the husband's family.

Hilbert gritted his teeth and transferred part of his Gringotts assets in East Asia to his younger sister.

On March 22, in the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, Alianlina was helped onto a sedan chair with a red hijab on her head.

After the firecrackers were set off, the ground was covered with red confetti. Hilbert stood outside the gate, watching his sister's sedan chair leave with sore eyes.According to the agreement, the Chinese wedding should be held first and then the Western wedding.

In the silent night, a low sigh was inaudible.

"What's wrong?" Daphne asked in a low voice.

"Although I'm relieved to have married off my little sister, I'm still a little stuck..." Hilbert muttered, "I always feel that my sister will belong to someone else..."

Hilbert looked at the sword on the wall and sighed, he was a selfish person after all...

Shafiq Old Manor is used to house newcomers because no one lives here.

The bright red dragon and phoenix candles reflect the bright red in the new house.

Under the curtain, a newlyweds sleep with their necks crossed...

According to the rules the next day, the new daughter-in-law would offer tea to her parents-in-law. Although Nangong Xiongying was pretending to be steady, Alianlina just bowed her head shyly, showing half of her chin, but the sweet feeling between the young couple was actually You can't hide it from anyone.

Mr. and Mrs. Nangong laughed so hard that their teeth could not be seen, they nodded cheerfully, ate their daughter-in-law's tea, and put a pair of jewel-encrusted bracelets on the tea tray.

Mr. Nangong personally wrote the family tree and wrote Alian Lina's surname next to "Eldest Son Eagle".

So far, Alian Lina has become the legitimate eldest daughter-in-law of the Nangong family...

Today's crab feast, except for a few dishes on the table, is a basket of bright red crabs.

In front of Mr. Brian, a pile of crab shells had already been eaten.He wiped his hands with a wet towel, slipped out a jug of warm rice wine, poured himself a cup, and drank it all.

Hilbert, Daphne, lack of interest.I didn't even eat, I always felt that something was missing in my heart.

"I'm going to see Patrick." Hilbert put down his chopsticks and walked towards the nursery. "It's time for feeding." Daphne also followed Hilbert.

Looking at the chubby son in Daphne's arms, Hilbert stretched out his hand and pinched his son's face. He saw that Daphne's life was counting. The couple hadn't been intimate for a long time.Looking at the body, after all, it is because of the childbirth, and it feels more and more round and smooth, and it really makes people want to hug them in their arms and kiss them.

Hilbert thumped his head.Allow yourself to calm down.

Besides, on Alianlina's side, the young couple lived a very comfortable life, as if honey was mixed with oil all day long.

In less than a month, during dinner at night, Alianlina vomited when she smelled the smell of meat. Hearing Nangong Xiongying mention it, this was not the first time. The Fick family goes.

In the Shafik Manor, Hilbert invited all the four ancestors to have a drink and have a little gathering.

There are several meat and vegetarian dishes on the table.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Hilbert had almost finished eating, so he immediately drank the wine in his glass, asking everyone to drink it slowly, and left the room by himself.I saw a figure shaking on the door.

A servant from Nangong Xiongying's family had long been waiting here, with a look of anxiety on his face. When he saw Hilbert coming in, he hurriedly said, "Sir, is Madam not feeling well? Our master and wife have already sent someone to invite the doctor. Go over and have a look!"

Hearing this, Hilbert felt a "thud" in his heart, and hurried back to the restaurant to call the whole family to hire three taxis and head straight to the old place.

When he arrived at the place, Hilbert went straight to the room and rushed to Aureliana's bedside, "What's wrong with you? But you're tired all the way?"

Aleena's face was pale, but her eyes showed some joy. Seeing her brother staring at her like this, her cheeks blushed.

Even if it was "concern leads to chaos", Hilbert also found that something was wrong. Although the little girl's face looked paler, she was full of energy and did not appear sick at all.

Aleena Lina seemed shy, she just lowered her head slightly, and didn't answer.Hilbert turned his head and looked at Nangong, tugging at his collar and said, "I married my sister to you, and you treat her like this?"

"Senior brother, Lian Na is pregnant."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

During the dinner just now, Alianlina vomited when she smelled the smell of meat. Mrs. Nangong came here, so she immediately wondered if she was sick. I asked Alianlina about this, but Xiaoyue was half a month late.It seems that [-]% of them have it, and now they are waiting for a doctor to diagnose the pulse.

While talking, the maid came to report that the Chinese medicine practitioner had already been invited.Mr. Brian and others in the front yard also heard the letter, and they were all waiting for news from here.

Several maids put down the curtain of the bed and asked the doctor to come and have a pulse.

The doctor, surnamed Zhao, is a famous local doctor. He traveled across the ocean with his parents since he was a child, and settled in Chinatown, England.The family has been a doctor for generations, and they know that this is Shafiq Manor.Act very respectfully.Seeing that the furnishings in the house are not common, I dare not be sloppy.

After diagnosing the pulse through the veil, Zhao Lang knew everything, got up and went outside.

Nangong Xiongying asked someone to serve tea, Zhao Langzhong thought he was a tenant of Shafik Manor seeing him so young.She clasped her fists and said, "Congratulations to this gentleman, your lady is indeed happy!"

But Hilbert said: "Please hold on, my sister is the first child, what should I pay attention to, or how to raise a child, please give me some advice!"

The doctor looked Hilbert up and down a few times, and he knew it was Duke Shafik.So he wrote down all the folk remedies and secret methods for raising and protecting the fetus that he knew.

Hilbert looked at the long medical order, and his uneasiness eased a little.It can be regarded as prepared, and everyone who should pay attention has noticed.So I went to chat with my little sister.

"Brother, I'm so happy!"

"Yeah, it feels like you just got married yesterday, why are you pregnant today?"

After a while, Nangong Xiongying brought black-bone chicken and ginseng soup, wolfberry and crucian carp soup to Yalianlina.This soup was available almost every day, but Aleena only drank one or two sips each time, and then drank the milk porridge she ordered by herself.
