Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

The six rites have been completed and the five rites have been completed, and the rest is to greet in person. One or two days before the marriage, the woman will send the dowry and make the bed, and the next day the groom will go to the woman's house to marry.

Because of Yangzhou's mountains and rivers, the Cheng'en government had to arrange for servants to go to Yangzhou to rent a house for the wedding, and then send Wen Jiao and the dowry to Yangzhou in advance.

Because Lin's dowry was really generous, Madam Bai looked at the dowry her family had prepared for Wen Jiao, and felt that although the dowry of [-] gold was indeed a lot, the dowry was less than the dowry, which didn't sound good.

So I selected a few more from the land and houses in the south, and added 1 taels of box money to make up 5 taels. I handed over the sign on another day and went into the palace with the dowry list.

According to the purchasing power of this era (excluding buying a house), one tael of silver is about equal to about 500 yuan in modern times.

In Wen Jiao's dowry list, just the box money included 5000 taels of silver from the Su family plus 1000 taels of gold from Queen Su.

In addition to the several houses and fields prepared by Cheng Engong's mansion, and the gold, silver, pearls and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings rewarded by the emperor on both sides, the total value is 7 to [-] taels.

And because the Cheng'en government added the dowry money back to Wen Jiao's dowry as it was, so once Wen Jiao got married, he would have a dowry worth about 12 taels, which is about 6000 million taels of RMB.

Although Wen Jiao expected that his dowry would not be less, he did not expect it to be so much.

Generally, when a daughter of a prince's family gets married, if she is a daughter-in-law, the dowry will range from three to fifty thousand. In addition, families who love their daughters will also add the original amount of dowry to the dowry. Sixty to seventy thousand is a lot.

In the original book, Sister Feng's dowry budget for the marriage of the three sisters Yingchun Tanchun Xichun is only 1 taels of silver per person.Wen Jiao's dowry can basically be regarded as the top match among the top matches for women from ordinary aristocratic families.

After counting the total together, Mrs. Bai thought for a while, and said: "Although dowry is a woman's confidence and a family's face, if you say so much, people will think that we are too ostentatious, let alone...it is not our ostentatious at this time." when."

Empress Su smiled and said: "The dowry of 12 taels is too ostentatious, but even if we want to treat Wen Jiao a little bit worse, Master Lin's dowry of 5 taels is left, even if we want to give less dowry. Well. It can be seen that Wen Jiao is really blessed."

Wen Jiao lowered his head in response to the situation.After a lot of hard work in front of the mirror, Wen Jiao finally found the best posture to express her shyness, otherwise it would be embarrassing if she couldn't blush when she should.

Mrs. Bai laughed and said, "You child, are you still afraid that I will treat Wen Jiao badly?"

Empress Su smiled and said, "My lord is thinking too much, I don't mean it."

He also said: "How about this, Wen Jiao's dowry, let's only say 5000 taels of silver in the box, and only 5 dowry to the outside world, not to mention whether the dowry will be added or not. Although [-] taels is not a lot, it is not out of the question. Well, what does mother think?"

Mrs. Bai nodded and said: "It's also very good. Those who understand naturally know that we put the bride price in the dowry, but we don't say so much to the outside world, because we don't want to make it public."

Wen Jiao only listened to the discussion between Queen Su and Mrs. Bai, and when Queen Su asked her, she smiled and said: "Mother and sister are all for my own good, and I will never refuse to listen."

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai nodded in satisfaction, and taught her one by one the conditions of the houses, farms and shops in the dowry list.

How many houses are in the house, where is it located, when and how much money was bought; how many acres of land in a certain place, who is in charge of the income of this village, and how much it is every year; the shops are all rented out for rent. How much is the annual rent and so on.

Wen Jiao carefully wrote down what Mrs. Bai said.Not surprisingly, these dowries are the source of her confidence for the rest of her life.

If he couldn't save Lin Hai, Lin Hai would have left as early as in the original book, and he couldn't keep the Lin family's property, at least he would have his own dowry so that he and Daiyu could live comfortably.

After Mrs. Bai finished talking about Wen Jiao's dowry, she also talked about the other villages in the south of the family. If Wen Jiao was free, she would help the family to check it out. Wen Jiao nodded in agreement.Seeing that Mrs. Bai had nothing to say here, she said that she still needs to do needlework, leaving space for them, the real mother and daughter.

Seeing Wen Jiao go out, Empress Su offered a cup of tea to Mrs. Bai, and said with a smile, "Mother is really willing to part with it. I remember that jasper phoenix hairpin was my mother's dowry, so it was written on the dowry list for Wen Jiao. ?”

Mrs. Bai took the tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Could it be that your mother is so stingy in your heart? Also, majestic empress, you just want to talk to me with a cup of tea?"

Empress Su sat next to Madam Bai, rubbed Madam Bai's shoulders, and said coquettishly: "Mother, tell me, otherwise I will always not understand in my heart, will I become a big fool?"

Mrs. Bai said quickly: "Your father and I are not blind and generous. Although our family has some wealth, it is not a wealthy family. It is very distressing to pay five or sixty thousand taels at once."

"It's just that this marriage is bestowed by the emperor. We must make it beautiful. The Lin family also knows this truth very well, so the dowry gift is generous. Our dowry is missing. One is to embarrass our family, and the other is not in line with the emperor's wishes. San Zewen Jiao's face is not pretty either."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "There is one thing that you don't know yet. Your father and I have been hiding it from you for more than ten years."

Empress Su wondered: "What could be worth father and mother hiding from me for so long?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "You have been weak since you were a child, no matter how many doctors you have hired, you have no energy at home all day long, and you don't like to play or laugh. Your father, your two brothers, and I have worried a lot about you. "

"So we will do whatever you want. When you were seven years old, you suddenly fell ill. You were sick for a month. Although you survived, your health got worse and worse. Both your father and I were very scared. .”

When Empress Su heard this, she slowly leaned on Madam Bai's shoulder, took Madam Bai's hand, and heard Madam Bai continue to say: "That day, a monk and a Taoist priest came to the door suddenly. It can save your life. Although your father and I never believed in this, we were in a hurry to go to the doctor at that time."

Empress Su raised her head and asked, "Then what did they say?"

Mrs. Bai recalled: "They said that you were destined to die young, but by chance, the noble person in your destiny is now in the mansion."

"We hurriedly asked who it was, and they only said that we would find out among the little girls who entered the mansion this year. If you can have her company every day, your life will be safe when you grow up."

"It is also said that the heavenly secret should not be leaked to the fifth person. It can only be told to you after your doom is over."

Empress Su smiled and said, "It's so mysterious, it can't be Wen Jiao. It's hard for you and my father to believe it."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "No, I wouldn't believe it in other times. But at that time, I really went to look at the little girls who entered the mansion that year, and I found that Wen Jiao's eyes were different from those of others. different."

"I transferred her to your side, thinking that a dead horse should be a living horse doctor. Who knows that your body is really getting better day by day."

Empress Su was stunned when she heard this, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and murmured: "I said..."

Mrs. Bai sighed: "Although Wen Jiao is just a girl, she is also a benefactor of our Su family. No matter what, it is true that you will be fine when she comes."

"I also wanted to find a good family for her, get rid of her slave status, and see her rich for a lifetime, which is also considered to repay her kindness. Who knows that she has become my daughter, so I can't treat her badly."

Empress Su laughed and said: "So there is such a thing, my mother has kept it from me so hard. If I don't like Wen Jiao, and I don't like to play with her and get close to her, wouldn't it be a waste of success?"

Mrs. Bai poked Empress Su on the forehead, and said with a smile: "You girl, you and Wen Jiao are almost as good as each other, and you still say this. If there is really anything wrong, it is that you have become more skinny after you recovered. Before It was too quiet, and now it is too lively."

"Get up quickly, you are still tired of me at this age, what does it look like?"

Empress Su smiled and did not move, leaning on Mrs. Bai.

On June 21, Jia Yuanchun, the court lady, was registered as a concubine, Luo Yanxia was registered as a nobleman, and Jiang Huanya and Wei Lanlan were registered as beauties.

The nobleman He Meilu was promoted to the concubine's position, and the beauty Qiu Yulian was promoted to the nobleman's will, which was announced to the Sixth Palace and passed on to the homes of the new concubines.

When all the people in Jia's house received the imperial edict, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying with joy, and thanked the eunuch who delivered the edict with a thick red seal.

Because Wang Xifeng was still obediently waiting on the bed in the house, it was the mandarin duck Youshi who waited in front of Jia Mu to make fun of her, coaxing the old lady to smile, and Mrs. Wang also smiled very kindly.

Jia Mu suddenly patted Daiyu's hand and smiled, "Speaking of which, it's thanks to our Yu'er. If Yu'er and I hadn't entered the palace, the masters in the palace would think of our family, and I don't know when Yuanchun will be able to come out."

After hearing this, the others didn't do much, but Baoyu stood up, made a song for Daiyu, and said, "Thank you, sister Lin."

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, our young lady is really blessed."

Mrs. Wang also took Daiyu's hand and said, "Good boy, thanks to you."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and said: "This is the big sister who is filial and virtuous. I want to thank my grandmother and aunt for the good education. I can't afford this thank you."

For a while, everyone remembered Yuan Chun's situation when he was at home and praised Yuan Chun.After finally breaking up, Daiyu felt physically and mentally exhausted, so she went back to the house and lay on the bed, covering her face with a handkerchief.

In two or three months!It only takes two or three months, until autumn, and I will be home.

Although the women in the backyard dispersed, the men in the Lijia's mansion in the front yard discussed things like treating guests to dinner and so on.Jia Zheng only said that he should not make a concubine too much, let's see what the other concubines' families say.

But Jia Zhen said: "Second Uncle, I have already sent people to inquire outside. This time the emperor appointed four concubines, and the eldest lady of our family has the highest rank and is the queen of the state. Even if they want to invite them, See if we don't invite them, isn't it delaying them?"

Although Jia Zheng didn't want it in his heart, Jia pardoned Jia Zhen and others said it was a happy event, and it must be lively, so that's all.So for a while, all the people in Jia's house were busy, bustling and joyful.

The author has something to say: I also want to be a rich woman!I dream of getting rich hahahaha!
