Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Chapter 149 Chapter 149

Daiyu's eyes were already red, and she hurriedly said: "How can my granddaughter accept such a precious thing? Please take it back from my ancestors."

Mother Jia sighed, and said, "I don't know how many years of good life I have left. Now that I'm still here, these things should be cleaned up earlier, so as to save the famine when the time comes. Your second brother's I have already left him. Yes, these are for you, you just keep them."

She originally thought that the two Yu'er would be with her for a long time, but she didn't expect that it would be for nothing to worry about. Fortunately, Daiyu has a good home now. Although she is a little regretful, she is also happy for Daiyu.

Daiyu was grateful and sad at the same time when she heard this, she choked up in Jiamu's arms and couldn't speak: "Grandmother..."

Thinking of the little things of these years, Jia Mu couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she stroked Daiyu's hair, and sighed: "My good boy, don't cry, your mother has been my favorite since I was a child, and she will leave me alone." Yes, it was so easy to pick you up, and I have been with me for so many years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. Now you are about to leave the cabinet, and your grandmother has nothing good to give you. This bit of self-righteousness should be given to you Adding makeup is also a thought in the future."

Seeing Jia's mother like this, Daiyu had to wipe away her tears and ordered Zijuan to accept it.

Back home, Daiyu told Lin Ruhai about Jia Mu's makeup.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help sighing after hearing this, and said, "Since it's your grandmother's wish, you can accept it." Jia's mother had previously focused on matching up the marriage of Shuangyu. Although she had selfish intentions, she really loved Daiyu from the bottom of her heart.

Daiyu's eye circles were still a little red, and she said: "When I saw my grandmother today, I realized that she is a lot haggard. As a granddaughter, I don't have much filial piety at all, and I feel really ashamed."

Lin Ruhai shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Silly girl, although you are the granddaughter of the Jia family, you are the daughter of my Lin family. Your uncle and cousin are the ones to perform filial piety. Now you only need to be at ease to get married, and you will be free in the future." Just visit your grandmother more often."

Daiyu agreed in a low voice when she heard the words, but when she thought that she was about to leave the court, she calmed down and felt a little uneasy again.

The Gu family in this room is busy, planning for the next engagement and marriage. On this day, Mrs. Gu drew up the post for the betrothal gift and called Mrs. Feng to help with the cooking.

Feng glanced at the draft post, and suddenly took a deep breath, only to see that the gift list was densely packed, in addition to all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, rare ancient books, gold and jade decorations, the betrothal money was actually 5000 taels of gold!

Back when the eldest son Gu Huai got married, the bride price was only 2 taels of silver

Gu Zhan's generous betrothal gift really made Feng's heart ache. Antiques and curios are worth 8 to 5 taels of silver at least, plus the 10,000 taels of dowry, it is [-]+ taels!

Except for the royal family, I have never heard of anyone getting married with so much dowry. This is not a marriage, it is simply going bankrupt and marrying an ancestor, and the family will be emptied!

Feng's heart was like frying oil, he endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't hold back, he glanced at Mrs. Gu cautiously, and smiled apologetically: "Old lady, antiques and curios are already rich enough, isn't this bride price too generous?" Some, outsiders might see it a little too much."

Mrs. Gu didn't understand her thoughts, she glanced at her lightly, and said: "This is what I mean, Yu'er's dowry is rich, and our family's dowry is too thin to make it easy on the face, besides, the dowry is based on family In addition to the old rules of the official, the others added are Zhan'er's private property and things left by his mother in the past."

Daiyu is the only daughter of the Lin family, and most of the family property will be used as a dowry. After Mrs. Gu learned about it, she decided to increase the dowry by three points.

Back then, Gu Zhen and his wife passed away unfortunately, leaving only their grandson Gu Zhan. Gu Yan and his wife knew the nature of the eldest daughter-in-law. They were afraid that the two families would turn against each other due to family property and worried about their grandson being wronged, so they divided the property of the Gu family early. The eldest family inherits, and the rest of the family property is divided equally. These years, Mrs. Gu helped to keep it. It's just that Gu Zhan was still young in the early years, so outsiders would discuss it, and the two families have not separated on the surface.

Feng Shi couldn't help being at a loss for words when she heard the words, the words have come to this point, Mrs. Gu's partiality is already very clear, no matter how unhappy she is, she can only forcefully suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Looking forward to September [-]th, Yan Hui came over early, came to Tingtao Residence where Daiyu lived, took out a gift list, handed it to Daiyu, and said with a smile: "This is what the old lady and I gave you." I have brought all the make-up up today, and I will ask someone to add it to the dowry list in a while."

Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, and took the opened post, and saw: five hundred acres of fertile land, one courtyard with three entrances, twelve screens with red sandalwood dotted with emerald greens and flowers in four seasons, and ten red pythons with golden makeup on it. Two pieces, [-] pieces of red and gold Japanese satin, [-] pieces of silver and red woven gold makeup satin, [-] pieces of organdy yarn of various colors, [-] pieces of red and gold satin, blue and gold Twelve bolts of flowers, phoenix and song brocade are worn, twelve bolts of crepe silk of various colors are used for the top, and six bolts of dora and bird gold cloth are used for the top;

36 sets of various gold-inlaid jewelry heads, a box of south beads, a box of east beads, a box of agate gemstones of various colors; four pairs of pearls and flowers, two red gold lace beads necklaces

One, four pairs of Double Dragon Playing Pearl and Shrimp Whiskers bracelets, one pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets, one pair of purple jade bracelets, one pair of jasper bracelets, two cat's eye rings inlaid with gold, two emerald rings;

Two Western gold chiming clocks, a pair of cloisonné enamel-inlaid jade wall vases with tourmaline and begonia views, a pair of screens with a picture of a hundred sons in red, a pair of square corner boxes with a golden lacquer pattern of happy encounters, a pair of incense plates with a big red jade rabbit pattern and a sea moon, A pair of painted enamel cover bowls with red phoenix pattern, and a pair of painted enamel Western-style female baby play picture kang screens;

In addition, there are two authentic works by famous artists, two postcards and two sets of ancient books.

After Daiyu saw it, she was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's too much, my dowry is already enough, I don't lack these things, Mom can leave it to my elder brother and sister."

Jiang Yingxue has also made an appointment with someone else. She is the son of the Minister of Rites and is expected to get married by the end of the year.

Yan Hui smiled and said: "Silly boy, there is no dowry that is too much. You are also my daughter. In my heart, you are the same as your sister. It is only natural for me to prepare a dowry for my daughter. It is for your brothers and sisters." I left everything behind, these are for you, you just accept them."

Daiyu is lovable, filial and caring, although she is not her own, but after all these years she is no different from her own.

The next day, Gu's family prepared a water gift, packed the dishes in a box and sent them to Lin's mansion with drums and drums.

Lin's residence had already prepared for a feast, entertaining the guests, and friends and old friends from all generations sent people to the door to congratulate them.

Everyone in the Rong Mansion also went earlier, but Li Wan was a widow and her status was inconvenient, and Xichun was filial, so none of them could attend.

Therefore, on this day, only Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, Baochai, Tanchun, Li Wen, Li Qi, Baoqin, Xiuyan, Xiangyun and a group of maids.

Daiyu was talking with Yan Hui, when she heard the words, she hurriedly confessed her crime and rushed out to welcome her.

Everyone saw that Daiyu was wearing a flowery blue hair bun today, wearing gold silk inlaid gem beads, pearls and emerald hairpins, shining dazzlingly, wearing a Yangfei pigment gauze short jacket, trimmed with emerald cloud silk, and embroidered on the skirt. Three green and three blue emerald bamboo gauze with wide borders, an egg blue gauze skirt, embroidered with fluffy green grass, with three-pointed and five-colored butterflies sandwiched on it, tied with concentric knots of emerald blue masts, and apricot-yellow tassels With the movement of Daiyu blessing her body and saluting, the hem of the skirt slightly spread out, making her waist more and more delicate, with a tight grip, delicate and charming, brighter than spring flowers.

Xiangyun and the others were all in admiration. Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's strange to say that 'people are happy when they have a happy event'. Sister Lin's complexion is getting better today."

Daiyu blushed slightly, saluted Jia Mu and others, and said: "The respect of working grandmothers, aunts, uncles and wives."

Driving, Yu'er really dare not be. "

Mother Jia hurriedly pulled Daiyu up, patted her hand and said with a smile, "Today is your happy day. Grandma has been looking forward to this day for many years, so it will come naturally."

Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "We are all close relatives, so there is no need to be so outspoken. Today is a good day to meet a big girl, and we will also come to reap the blessings."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also said: "Today is a good day for the eldest girl. We are all from our own family. If there is anything we can do to help, the eldest lady can just open her mouth and don't talk like this."

Daiyu agreed with a smile, and once came to Tingtao Residence, she slowly let in one by one.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Yan Hui's mother and daughter met each other, and then all the sisters also took their seats after seeing the ceremony.

It was the first time for Baoqin and the others to come, so they couldn't help but look at it secretly. Compared with the magnificence of Rongfu, the Lin family is more elegant and elegant. There are five upper rooms, three wing rooms on each side, and purple Nan carved pillars holding the same color of purple Nan. Carved beams.

In the middle, the bluestone is inlaid with black silver, and there is a plaque with "Tingtao" written in big flying white characters, and there are six brocade screens with one word.On the natural red sandalwood table, there is an enamel painted incense burner in the middle.

Hanging in the outer room are Wang Mojie's coloring "Wangchuan Picture" and Yu Shinan's ink couplets.On one side is a mirror cast in the heart of the Jade River, and eight hanging screens of immortals with eight holes;And Daiyu's favorite guqin is also stringed across the table.

There are also some ancient tripods, tea utensils, pen holders, four treasures of the study of various colors, and exquisite furnishings of various colors, all of which are exquisitely arranged.

There are parrot cages hanging under the eaves of the corridor, and hundreds of pots of small flower and stone bonsai are arranged, which are fresh and elegant.

Everyone looked at it once, praised it once, and they all said that Daiyu was thoughtful, and the house was neatly tidied up.

Here, the Lin family sent the Gu family's betrothal gift to the inner hall, and Lin Ruhai took a look at it before sending it to Daiyu.

Yan Hui already knew about it from Mrs. Gu, but she was not surprised at all. She glanced at it and presented it to Mother Jia, smiling, "Please take a look, old lady."

After reading it, Jia's mother couldn't help but be surprised. She saw that the gift list of Luanxiang Phoenix written with vermilion and gold: 120 sets of gold inlaid jewelry heads, 120 sets of four seasons clothes, 120 pieces of silk, satin and silk on various colors, gold and jade. There are 24 pieces of pearl and emerald jewellery, 24 chambers of auspicious sheep, 64 altars of blessing wine, 5000 plates of fine fruits of various colors, such as sticks, round, pine, and hazel.

Although it was unexpected, Mother Jia quickly calmed down, she was even more satisfied with Gu Zhan, and nodded to Daiyu with a smile: "Young Master

If you have a heart, we, Yu'er, are blessed. "

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also saw it, and they were both very shocked. They never expected that the Gu family would be so generous.

Xiangyun and the others were even more horrified. Such a generous dowry was unheard of. Although they were envious, they were all happy for Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang looked at the shy, charming and bright Daiyu, and she didn't know what it was like for a moment. This betrothal gift was the only one in Chang'an City. At the beginning, she was stubborn about Shuangyu's marriage. Daiyu attaches great importance to it.

Yan Hui smiled and said: "This is what Zhan'er meant. We, Yu'er, are very kind and we must not be wronged."

While speaking, he handed the gift list to Zicuckoo.

Zijuan took it and unfolded it, and Daiyu rolled her eyes slightly in Zijuan's hand. After hearing Yan Hui's words, her face flushed red, and her heart was very sweet.

When Zicuckoo saw Daiyu look at it, she folded it and put it aside.

Then Bailu also took the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and the old women to rush into the courtyard with jewelry, silks, satins, clothes, etc., and handed them over to Zijuan and Xueyan for inspection, saying: "Happy fruit and blessing wine." , Jiyang and other housekeepers took it away, and bought another 1000 catties, and the cages were packed and left in the tea room outside."

Yan Hui wrote them down one by one, and then took the maids and women to count them one by one, register and make a list, and added them to the dowry list.

Seeing that the date of Daiyu's leaving the court is approaching, although Lin Ruhai is happy, but when she thinks that her daughter whom she has loved since childhood is about to marry someone else's wife, she can't help but feel very sad.

Daiyu knew what was going on in his mind, so she just took some comfort.

These days, Daiyu's dowry is almost ready. Lin Ruhai has already made arrangements before, except for leaving some future living needs, almost all the properties of the Lin family are given to Daiyu as a dowry, and the farm shops are also recorded. In her name, as a dowry.

120 sets of lint single yarn four-season clothes, 120 sets of various head and face jewelry, all of which are newly made, not counting the ones worn at home and left by Jia Min, 240 silks and satins of various colors, and 66 antiques Eight pieces, 5 mu of high-quality fertile land, twelve shops, one five-entry house, one four-entry house, two three-entry houses, [-] boxes of solitary ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., red sapphire, cat's eye, agate, diamond, etc. Six boxes, in addition to precious medicinal materials, porcelain, etc., and [-] taels of gold in a pressed box of silver.

It is too eye-catching when posting the dowry, so only two pairs of 66 taels of gold ingots are placed in the silver box, and the silver taels will be brought back after returning home after getting married.

fine, delicate and precious beads

The precious and jade stones are packed in boxes, and they are specially stuffed at the bottom.

The silk and satin are divided into patterns, and dozens of boxes are packed. There are [-] or [-] pieces of each kind of high-quality skins of sable, gray and silver foxes. They are all packed in nanmu boxes, but they can't be seen from the outside.

It's just that there are too many head and face jewelry for the dowry, plus more than 100 sets in the dowry gift, there are hundreds of boxes in it. For this reason, Yan Hui specially chose a big box, and pressed it again and again until it was full. .

However, there are still more than a dozen boxes of hairpin and ring jewelry that were worn at home before, and there are sixty or seventy sets of head and face sets. There is no room for clothes in the box.

After hearing the maid's reply, Yan Hui also had a headache, thought for a while and said: "For this dowry, you only need to put those newly made clothes and jewelry, and keep the clothes and jewelry that you usually wear at home, and pack them up separately, and wait for Yu'er's three dynasties." Take it back with you when you get home."

Even so, there were 140 eight dowries in the end, which was the result of repeated compression.

The author has something to say: In the previous chapter, I forgot that Jia’s family had to observe Jia Jing’s filial piety, so that Sister Feng and others could not attend Daiyu’s wedding banquet, so the date of the wedding reception was changed.

However, although the relationship between the two Rongning and Ningfu is close, in fact, the blood relationship is almost out of the fifth service. I checked, and Jiamu Jiazheng and others have to take five months of minor work, while Tanchun seems to only need to take three months. The hemp will do.
