Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"You don't have to be polite with someone like him." But Wang Zuo said, "This person is a branch of the Gao family. Because of the division of the clan, he wanted to enclose a cemetery in his hometown as an ancestral grave, because he listened to the nonsense of a Feng Shui master. , I think an orchard there is the most suitable, but that orchard is owned by the owner. In order to get the orchard, they did not hesitate to send people to set fire to the houses. They will all be burned to death! The family has already reported the case, which involves a wide range of issues, and finally reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and this king took over. During this period, the family was repeatedly threatened and assassinated."

After hearing this, Ding Tian had no sympathy for the man just now.

The ancients held a wedding at dusk. The concubine of Duan Wangfu naturally carried eight large sedan chairs. The emperor also rewarded a complete set of ceremonial guards that a first-rank concubine should have. entered the door.

The Marquis of Changchun and his wife were in the most complicated mood. This was originally their granddaughter-in-law's person.

Now she has become Princess Duan, a first-class concubine, the fourth most noble woman besides the empress dowager, empress and imperial concubine, even the prince and concubine are half shorter than her.

After welcoming back the bride and paying homage to heaven and earth, she was sent to the bridal chamber. King Duan began to drink with people everywhere with a wine glass, and the wedding banquet began.According to Ding Tian's grade, he should sit in the yard to eat, but Duan Wang personally pulled him: "This king is busy here, you follow His Highness King Ning, take care of this table more!"

"Yes, my lord." Ding Tian bared his teeth in response.

Their table is the VIP table, besides the prince, the Shangshu, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment are also present, and they eat well at this table!

The craftsmanship of the apprentice chef in the palace.

There were ten people sitting at the whole table, and a dragon and phoenix gold-painted box erected in the middle of the table was actually a multi-layered dried fruit plate, with not only candies, but also dried and fresh fruits on it.

There are eight-treasure wild ducks, bergamot golden rolls, auspicious dragons flying together, golden silk finch...they are all dishes with nice names, delicious flavors, and auspicious meanings.

After a comfortable meal, when he was leaving, he was dragged by the old butler of Duanwang Mansion, and stuffed a basket of wedding cakes: "Eat more wedding cakes, so that you can feel happy, so you can find someone else in the future." Good marriage."

The old housekeeper knew Wang Zuo, and brought him an extra box of wedding candies: "Eat more, sweet mouth, the prince will also be well."

"Understood." Knowing that the old housekeeper had good intentions, Wang Zuo took it and handed it to Ding Tian: "Take it."

Ding Tian: "...Okay, okay."

In other words, this Duanwang Mansion does not know where the wedding candies are made, and the taste is not too sweet, especially the dragon beard crisps, which are delicious.

After the excitement, they dispersed, each going back to each house, each looking for each mother.

It's just that the Gao family's heart is very heavy, especially the family of Uncle Chengyi's direct branch, Miss Yao's red makeup, which suddenly increased the pressure on Uncle Chengyi's mansion.

After all, they are going to marry Miss San to the Marquis of Changchun, if they are compared, they will lose face.

But if you want the third lady to have a lot of red makeup, what about the eldest lady and the second lady?

After all, the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss are descendants of a concubine, and the Third Miss is a descendant of a concubine.

For this reason, the principals of Chengyibo's Mansion stayed up half the night and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"It seems that the dowry of the third girl should be generous, otherwise how would the Marquis of Changchun treat our family?" The Patriarch of the Gao family said in a deep voice, "Don't get married but become enemies instead."

"Impossible." Mrs. Gao objected: "It's true that she married high, but I have changed the dowry from that of a concubine's daughter to that of a concubine's daughter. The dowry is already 1 taels. Gao, do you want to give [-]?"

Mrs. Gao took a picture of the dowry list. The dowry list of Miss Gao San is already quite impressive, and the average concubine's dowry list is only 3000 taels of silver.

However, because Miss Gao San married the Marquis of Changchun, the value of the dowry was as high as 1 taels, of which 5000 taels were for the purchase of objects and 5000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

In Mrs. Gao's opinion, it's already pretty good.

Her own daughter also had this kind of dowry, but the lady who was born on the aunt naturally had her aunt's subsidy, and some of the dowries of the aunts in the past were also controlled by Mrs. Gao, and there were some good things in them.

It is also a coral ornament. The coral ornaments for Miss Gao and Miss Gao may be as big as a stool and are worth a thousand taels of silver.

But on the dowry list, there are all the same things, and only Mrs. Gao knows the difference.

However, even if this is the case, she doesn't want a concubine to overwhelm her own daughter, so what about marrying a high family?

Not a waste!

"Now is not the time to worry about these things. What is the family status of the Marquis of Changchun? Originally, a concubine is low enough. If the dowry is not enough, you think they will think highly of you and my in-laws?" The head of the Gao family said with a serious face: " I know you feel uncomfortable, so which one will marry Yuanyuan or Aiai?"

"That's impossible!" Madam Gao denied it on the spot.

Yuanyuan and Aiai are her daughters, how can they marry a trash dim sum?Widowed for life?

What's the use in exchange for a glorious identity?

What if I have nothing to do for the rest of my life, what should I do when I get old?

Moreover, Changchun Hou's Mansion is not a place to enjoy peace and happiness.

"Then why are you hesitating?" The head of the Gao family's eyes were red with anger: "They are all my daughters. When the time comes, I will have the final say on who will get on the sedan chair!"

He meant it as a blatant threat.

Madam Gao's eyes turned red: "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I just want to tell you, dowry, give me a decent look, don't blame me if you dare to pass it off as a good one, or do something secretly..." The head of the Gao family glanced at Mrs. Gao: "Anyway, three The two daughters are all daughters of my Gao family, it doesn't matter whoever you marry, and whomever you marry."

Can that be the same?

Mrs. Gao trembled: "The concubine's body is just... I feel sorry for the eldest girl and the second girl. They both married and wronged in order to let the third girl climb high. Could it be that I, a mother, can't let them marry as they wish? Mr. Lang, can't you give them a dowry that is confident in the husband's family? Besides, I have the final say on my dowry. It can only be given to my daughters...."

Almost all the headed mothers will leave the dowry to their daughters, either split it equally, or pass it on to the only daughter... Of course, if there is no daughter, the dowry will be left to the first son and eldest daughter-in-law.

Don't look at Mrs. Gao crying poor, in fact, Mrs. Gao has a lot of good things in her hands.

She also wanted to put makeup on for her daughter, and she wanted to leave some to be passed on to the future son-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law... These things were not enough for her own children, how could she be generous as a dowry for the concubine daughter?

Don't even think about it!

Even if it is a generous dowry, it will be paid in the family's public account, and she will not pay a tael of silver.

"It's still the same sentence, the dowry can't be sloppy, I will check it myself before getting married." The head of the Gao family said such a sentence.

"Brother, it's true that the third niece is married, but you can't empty out the money in the public account just because she is a married woman?" The younger brother of the head of the Gao family was not very happy.

Even if the family is separated, I don't want to throw money on the married woman.

"That's right." The gentlemen in the other rooms of the Gao family all meant the same thing.

Mrs. Gao bowed her head to drink tea, sneered in her heart, gave each of them something for nothing, and told them that if they wanted to live well in the future, they had to think more about the dowry.

"This matter is a family matter of our Chengyi uncle's house. You are all separated, so just take care of your own home." The head of the Gao family stood up and flicked his sleeves: "In short, when the third girl went out, You must have a lot of red makeup, and you can't lose to the Zhenguo government." Mrs. Gao's face turned pale, can't you lose to the Zhenguo government?

I don't even look at what kind of family the Zhen Guogong's mansion is, and what kind of family they are sincerely Bo's mansion.

This really... really... pissed her off.

At the same time, people from the Marquis of Changchun also got together to discuss, especially Murong Hua, the master of the second room, who almost expressed envy on his face: "The dowry of the second lady of the Yao family is really generous!"

They didn't go today, but yesterday, when the dowry was displayed, his wife, the second wife, went to watch the ceremony.That dowry made everyone dizzy.

"Isn't that right!" Mrs. Murong wiped the corners of her mouth, "Just that screen inlaid with colorful pearls is worth tens of thousands of gold. Jewelry made of colored gold, ornaments made of colored silver...there are four shops in Beijing!"

"There is also a two-hectare village in the suburbs of the capital. How much harvest can you get in a year?" Murong San's wife fanned the flames: "I heard that there are eight sets of red gold noodles alone!"

what is this?

It's all money!

Why is the Marquis of Changchun so flamboyant?

Isn't it for profit?

They have been eating enough food for a long time, if they don't pull the tiger's skin to pull the banner, the whole family will drink the northwest wind.

"I just don't know, what's the attitude of Mr. Chengyi..." Mrs. Murong asked coldly.

Because she can't have a son, the status of Mrs. Murong in the family is far inferior to that of Mrs. Murong.

However, now, Mrs. Murong is used to it, and she despises Mrs. Murong for being so ambitious. Now Haohao's health is not getting better. Even if he married a wife for the sake of face, he married a daughter-in-law, but he couldn't give birth. Children...wouldn't they be ridiculed as well?

After all, they still gave birth to a daughter. By that time, that one wouldn't even be able to lay an egg, so how would it end?

"The attitude of Uncle Chengyi must be correct!" These were the original words of Marquis Changchun.

Wang Zuo knew the content of the discussion between the two of them that night.

At that time Ding Tian was falling asleep in a daze, Wang Zuo half hugged him, patted him to sleep like a child, someone came in, lowered his head, whispered something to Wang Zuo, Wang Zuo put down Ding Tian who was already asleep, and covered him After finishing the mosquito net, I stepped on the straw slippers and went to the study.

Ding Tian originally wanted to ask him what he was doing?

But he was too sleepy, so he fell asleep.

When I got up to eat breakfast in the morning, I remembered to ask him: "What's the matter? You have to go to the study in the middle of the night."

He didn't doubt that Wang Zuo was going to meet a beautiful woman or something.

After being together for several years, this trust is still there.

"I went to read an urgent report. The marriage between the Chengyi uncle's mansion and the Changchun Marquis' mansion has different news." Wang Zuo picked out a salted duck egg yolk, put it in a soft white steamed bun, took a bite, He likes to eat like this: "The two families saw my second cousin's dowry, and they were all delusional."

"We're married now, what else do we want?" Ding Tian was curious.

In ancient times, the operation of divorce and remarriage was not popular.

"The marriage between the two families has not been done yet!" Wang Zuo said, "The Marquis of Changchun is thinking about the dowry of the Duke of Chengyi's residence, and the Duke of Chengyi's residence is thinking of the dowry of the Marquis of Changchun's residence... Hehe... It's so lively!"

Ding Tian didn't quite understand: "What's so exciting about this?"

Later he knew that it was really lively.

The Marquis of Changchun gave a lot of betrothal gifts to Uncle Chengyi's mansion, and the wife in charge of Uncle Chengyi's mansion was even more amazing. She used all the betrothal gifts from the Marquis of Changchun's mansion as dowry to her two daughters, and the two daughters The betrothal gift from her husband's family, okay, she used it as the dowry for the concubine's daughter.

Good-looking is good-looking, and it sounds good when you say it. The dowry of two concubine daughters is enough to give her face... But, don’t look at who the two concubine daughters are marrying. What kind of family status does the girl marry....
