If he had followed the rules, he shouldn't have been hired so late.
According to Daye etiquette, families with a little bit of background will discuss marriages very early, so both parties must be given time to prepare——
Men prepare betrothal gifts and women prepare dowry.
It's just that their marriage was too sudden, and the day they chose to get married was very hasty. The auspicious day they were looking for in the end turned out to be just a few days before the wedding.
However, because of Emperor Ye's gift of marriage and his eloquent words that they were a match made in heaven, and even said that Gu Baiyu was destined to be a prosperous husband, not many people discussed the high-profile marriage that they had arranged to get married in a hurry.
On the contrary, there was a group of people waiting to see the happy event of the two getting married.
At this moment, after Lingyu reminded him, Gu Baiyu realized that the matter of getting married was really close to him.
"Go back to your room quickly. Friends and relatives will be here soon. I'm outside. It's not good."
This is also a custom in Daye.
On the day of the betrothal, the woman will invite her relatives and friends to her home for a gathering, and the man will come to her door with the betrothal gift at a favorable time.
At this time, all the betrothal gifts will be opened for appreciation by the woman's relatives. Firstly, the man wants to show his financial strength, and secondly, the woman can use the amount of the betrothal gift to infer whether the man is sincere in marrying his wife.
It can be said that if the betrothal gift given by the man is sufficient, it will not only be a sign of sincerity, but also make both parties very proud.
On the day of appointment, it was not appropriate for Gu Baiyu to show up. She could just stay in the room.
Gu Baiyu had seen Xiao Yanlin's betrothal gift list a long time ago. Xiao Yanlin was very sincere and Gu Baiyu was also very moved.
After finishing speaking, Gu Baiyu hurriedly went to see his parents, and then settled down to embroider in his room.
After a while, Lingyu came in with a smile.
"Miss, you can really hold on to your anger. What a fuss has happened before!"
Gu Baiyu also heard the movement in the front yard, because it was Xiao Yanlin who came with the betrothal gift.
"Miss, are you listening to what I'm saying? You don't know that Marquis Zhenbei is very sincere this time!"
A circle of people gathered in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu went out to greet them, and there were already a crowd of people watching at the door.
Ordinarily, it is just a low-level appointment, and it should not attract so many people to watch, but it is really arrogant to be unable to stand up to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion!
Those who saw the dowry were dazzled. If Gu Baiyu were present, he would be surprised to find that the betrothal gift actually delivered to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was even more than Xiao Yanlin promised!
And it’s not just a little bit more!
Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu have already received Xiao Yanlin.
Xiao Yanlin was wearing a white uniform today, and he was in high spirits. When he met with Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu, he also gave a grand ceremony, which shocked Prime Minister Gu.
"The Marquis of Zhenbei doesn't have to be like this..."
"It should be so. Xiao has the love of Prime Minister Gu and Miss Gu, and being able to marry a good wife is a blessing from his ancestors."
He gestured to the old butler beside him: "It's time to sing the ceremony."
Behind Xiao Yanlin were servants carrying boxes in a team of four.
For ordinary people, the salary for a low-level job is usually fourteen yuan. For those with a little background, it can be increased to eighteen yuan or twenty yuan. For those with higher rank, the salary is usually 36 yuan.
In addition to the conventional betrothal gifts, betrothal cakes, three animals, drinks and other items, the rest were mostly filled with silks, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
The news of Xiao Yanlin's marriage to Gu Baiyu was known to everyone under Xiao Yanlin's instruction.
The streets were full of bustling people, whispering and discussing from time to time.
"I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Miss Gu family got married in a hurry. I didn't expect that the battle would be so big!"
"Hey! This betrothal gift is probably more than 32 yuan, right?"
"I counted, I counted! It's a total of 64 dowry gifts!"
"What?! Sixty-four raises?! I'm afraid there won't be such a battle even if the prince gets married!"
"Stop talking! Let the etiquette officer sing and let's just watch the fun. Maybe we can get some lucky money later!"
Generally, the lid of the box will be opened when the betrothal gift is given, and outsiders are not prohibited from inspecting it. Rich families often leave the lid of the box wide open to prove their financial resources.
But the betrothal gift brought by Xiao Yanlin, except for the usual first 32 boxes, the other boxes were tightly closed, so you couldn't see what was inside.
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the etiquette officer on the side immediately took out the betrothal gift list and started singing the ceremony.
The first one to carry is a load of cake!
The second lift, how many three animals!
The third lift, how many fruits are there in the four capitals!
……
In this way, until the first sixteen pieces were sung, all the items were in order, until the servant opened the No. 17 piece. When he opened the box, he saw a box full of antique calligraphy and paintings!
Going forward, every lift is more weighty than the last lift!
Antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry, silk and satin...
It’s so dazzling!
"Oh my God! The sixteen loads at the back alone could be divided into dozens of loads in an ordinary family's home!"
"Look! Is that the posthumous work of the former Master Zhang? I heard it costs ten thousand gold, so why is it just stuffed in the corner?"
"I see, Marquis Zhenbei really has all the good things in the world, and he is eager to stuff them all into his body!"
Everyone was talking a lot and looking forward to the remaining 32 dowries.
If the front is like this, what about the back? !
When the old housekeeper saw everyone talking about it, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he didn't even look at the identity of his Marquis!
After everyone had finished talking, they continued to sing:
No.30 three lifts, 200 taels of gold!
No.30 four lifts, 200 taels of gold!
……
"No. 60 four lifts, 200 taels of gold!"
By the time all the betrothal gifts were sung, the people around were stunned and even forgot to speak.
Even Prime Minister Gu, who had always been well-informed and unfazed when things happened, was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The remaining 32 tons were all gold!
This... this can be summed up by more than just two words: bold and arrogant? !
"Marquis Zhenbei, this...this betrothal gift..."
Xiao Yanlin took the betrothal gift list from the old housekeeper and handed it to Prime Minister Gu.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Gu, these gold and silver are all my salary and gifts from your majesty over the years, as well as the income from my family's business operations, they are all here."
After Xiao Yanlin finished speaking, he took out a brocade box from his arms: "In addition, this is all the property of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and it will be handed over to Miss Gu. When Miss Gu marries the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, all the big and small matters in the family will be settled. I'd like to ask Miss Gu to take care of it."
Xiao Yanlin spoke calmly, but the people around him, including the Gu family and his wife, were already in a state of turmoil.
Xiao Yanlin's move was equivalent to handing over all his wealth to Gu Baiyu through the hiring process. He had even handed over all the property in his hands!
But they haven't even officially gotten married yet!
Such a thing can be explained by more than just two words: sincerity?
He simply put his life and fortune in Gu Baiyu’s hands!
Whether they are common people or relatives of the Gu family, they have lived for decades and seen countless marriages, but this is the first time they have encountered such a thing!
"By what Marquis Zhenbei did, I wonder if my younger brother in the family..."
"He has grown up and has his own family business, which has been properly taken care of. Prime Minister Gu, please rest assured."
It was only at this moment that Prime Minister Gu finally believed that this unprecedented thing had really happened in his own home.
And the surrounding discussions exploded.
Lingyu, who was hiding in the corner, was already so moved that her eyes were red, and she trotted back to her room to tell Gu Baiyu the good news!
According to Daye etiquette, families with a little bit of background will discuss marriages very early, so both parties must be given time to prepare——
