The Hulk of the Red Chamber

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Shi Xiangwen's wedding.The Shi family and the Zheng family had long been optimistic about the auspicious day of the zodiac. The day before the wedding, the Shi family began to send Shi Xiangwen's dowry to the Zheng family. Shi Xiangwen was the eldest daughter, so the dowry was naturally extremely rich.The dowry list is a long list.The first thing is the real estate, land and shops referred to by the tiles and soil embryos.The real estate is a Zhuangzi on Zhongnan Mountain, and the land is divided into two places. There are two hectares of good farmland near Chang'an, but there are eighteen hectares in total in other farms.The shop includes a cloth shop and a grain and oil store. It may seem inconspicuous, but it is generally stable without losing money.

There are several kinds of dowry furniture, just the bed, all rosewood, from the Babu bed the same size as a small room, to the smaller beauty couch, all of which have been sent to the new house in advance.There are also some other furniture being carried out at the moment. Most of these small boxes and cabinets are made of huanghuali, and there are various decorations, from porcelain to jade, as well as coral gems and agarwood. Not to mention gold and silverware. Although it is unlucky to marry a clock or something, a pair of gold pocket watches, which are more expensive than clocks because of their exquisiteness and compactness, were married.

It was the first time for Shi Hong to see the ostentation of marrying a daughter in this era, and now he looked tongue-tied. Shoes and socks, inner and outer clothes for the four seasons, according to the material and style, there are twelve sets of each type, and different colors of clothing materials are also according to the design and color, each type has [-] sets, as well as sweat towels, purses, sachets, fans Small items such as sleeves are also packed.

Daily necessities are actually nothing. These are the least valuable, and the most valuable are actually all kinds of jewelry, medicinal materials and spices, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings.In addition, there is also gold and silver at the bottom of the box, which will not be placed on the dowry list.

In addition, in addition to the four maids who were dowry, Mrs. Qin also specially selected four families from the family to dowry Shi Xiangwen. Of course, the family members of the dowry maids were not among them. matter.Although the law stipulates that civilians are not allowed to take concubines, even officials have regulations on taking concubines, but there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. File on file.Concubines can be divided into good concubines and lowly concubines. Those who are born as slaves are lowly concubines, and those who come from good families are good concubines. The children of good concubines are naturally better than lowly concubines. You also need to be cautious when acting as a housewife One or two, the concubine has nothing to say!Detaining the family members of the dowry maids, even if they are released from the Zheng family and have parents and brothers who are slaves, they are naturally concubines.

Although she had given Shi Xiangwen pre-marital education before, Mrs. Qin was still worried. First, she once again showed kindness to the dowry servants, and then continued to talk to Shi Xiangwen about how to get along with her in-laws after she got married. The good thing is that her parents are gone, and Shi Xiangwen doesn't need to serve her in-laws. She just needs to have a good relationship with her husband. Don't make him feel like you deserve everything.Then he brought out another fire avoidance map, Shi Xiangwen blushed, but still listened carefully.My mother is not young now, no matter how well-maintained she is, she is no longer in her youth and her complexion has faded. However, so far, there are no concubines and concubines in the family, and Aunt Tongfang stays peacefully in the backyard and does not come out to give People add trouble, father loves mother very much, mother's wrist, of course, can not but be said to be extremely high.

Over there, watching the Shi family's dowry being carried out of the gate one after another, around the city of Chang'an, and sent to the new house prepared by the Zheng family, people gathered around the roadside to watch the excitement, while marveling, Interested people began to calculate the value of the historian's dowry, and finally came up with a number that made people envious and jealous.

At the Zheng family’s new house, the person holding the dowry list was shouting so loudly that a full eighty loads of dowry were sent in. This is because the historian increased the capacity of the cage and compressed the quantity. , even though it is the Marquis Mansion, it cannot exceed the etiquette. There is nothing to say about a princess marrying a daughter. Ginseng is above the system.

The members of the Zheng family also looked at the dowry in the courtyard with a bit of tongue-twisting. The Zheng family is similar to the Shi family. The population is quite prosperous. Once there are more people, after several generations, no matter how much the family property is, it will be divided. After seeing the dowry sent by the historian, not only the daughters-in-law felt a little sour, but also Zheng Rong's cousins ​​were jealous, thinking to themselves, this daughter-in-law of Zheng Rong is married, not only from a good background, but also This generous dowry is the first among the sisters-in-law!The older ones nodded inwardly. Although the historians had no historical background, having such a dowry was more than enough to make up for it, and they would have more confidence in becoming clan wives in the future.

Although Mrs. Fang said she came here to put on makeup when she was getting married, she didn't know that the historian was so generous this time. After returning, she muttered to Shi Nai: "Master, I saw Wen girl's dowry today. The second bedroom's family background is very good. Not too thin!"

Shi Nai naturally knew about it too, but when the family was separated, everything was clearly divided, and my own family took advantage of it, but the life of the second room was much better than my own, so at this moment, I naturally feel that He muttered to himself, but he said, "That's the second son who manages the house well!"

Mrs. Fang was quite unconvinced, but she had to admit that the second room was indeed a good way to make money. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally decided to go back and ask Mrs. Qin to see if Mrs. Qin could help the third room. Well, the third wife also has sons and daughters. When buying dowry in the future, others will inevitably compare it with the second wife. If it's too simple, I'm afraid they will say that they are mean behind their backs.Thinking of this, Mrs. Fang fell asleep in a daze, and secretly made up her mind to make a good relationship with Mrs. Qin.

Others who saw the dowry of the historians, such as the Jia family and the Xue family were all dumbfounded, and Wang Xifeng was fine. When she got married, it was the time when the Wang family was at its peak, so the dowry was also very generous. His own dowry has raised the Rongguo Mansion family for many years.The girls in Jia's family are not very old, but they already understand the importance of dowry, especially Tanchun, who has always been proud and arrogant, and only regrets that she was not born a man. In the Jia family, Shi Xiangyun, who didn't go back after her cousin got married this time, felt something was wrong, but still felt envious.

The Xue family also murmured to themselves that the historians would really pretend to be poor. If they were really poor, how could they be willing to give their daughter so many good things as dowry.

September [-], suitable for marriage, good luck.

The historian specially found two parents-in-law in the clan, the wife with both children to be Shi Xiangwen's Mrs. Quanfu. Mrs. Qin had tears in her eyes, but a smile on her face, watching Mrs. Quanfu meticulously dress up Shi Xiangwen. The wool ran across her face, twisted the fluff off her face, and then combed Shi Xiangwen's hair while singing auspicious words. Comb up.

Shi Xiangwen was not badly born, and she looked even more beautiful when she dressed up. The two Quanfu wives said half flatteringly, half sincerely: "The big girl is so well born, my uncle is so blessed!" Shi Xiangwen blushed again.

The preparations here are almost done. Mrs. Qin took a piece of handkerchief, wrapped a few pieces of snacks that would not fall off and not dry, and prepared them for Shi Xiangwen to bring. After thinking about it, she added two kumquats. Even the skin is eaten, there is no core, and no one will find out if it is eaten on the sedan chair, and then it is quietly stuffed into Shi Xiangwen's hands, and let her hide it in the sleeve. You can eat something, if you are too hungry to hold on, it will be bad.

The people from Zheng's house also came to greet the relatives. Zheng Rong smiled wryly when he saw the formation at the door of Shi's house.The historian family has a large population, even though most of them are in Jinling, the clansmen who stay in Chang'an have two households in addition to the two marquis residences. Now that the patriarch's eldest daughter is getting married, there is no reason why they can't come here, not to mention that the historian family is full of plans in Chang'an It also has a foundation of nearly a hundred years, and there are many old relatives, so there are quite a few people standing at the door waiting to embarrass the groom.

Fortunately, Zheng Rong also made preparations in advance, and several cousins ​​also came over, bit the bullet and got off the horse, ready to pass five levels and win six generals.

Of course, these so-called embarrassments are just jokes. They can't really embarrass the groom, so that the bride who is waiting at home can't get married.

Therefore, despite some embarrassment, Zheng Rong made it to the end smoothly. After composing a make-up poem at the door, Mrs. Qin personally put on Shi Xiangwen the phoenix crown of seven phoenixes, and covered it with a hipa embroidered with mandarin ducks and peonies. Only then did he wipe away his tears, and said with red eyes: "Well, Hong'er, let's take your big sister out!"

Shi Xiangwen stood up tremblingly under the support of Mrs. Quanfu, and when she walked to the door, Shi Hong squatted down, carried Shi Xiangwen on her back, and carried Shi Xiangwen to the gate all the way, and sent her to the eight-carried sedan chair. Today's mission is complete.Seeing the curtains on the sedan chair fall, Shi Hong felt a sense of belated disappointment. Although Shi Xiangwen is two years older than Shi Hong, but because of his previous life, Shi Hong has always regarded Shi Xiangwen as his little sister. My younger sister is going to get married, it's not like the situation in later generations, the married daughter is really an outsider now, even if they are all in Chang'an, it will be very difficult to even go back to her mother's house, and there will be various unsatisfactory things in the future.Thinking that in a few years, the younger sister will get married, Shi Hong's mood became even more depressed.

"Brother-in-law, the eldest sister will be entrusted to brother-in-law from now on!" Shi Hong said to Zheng Rong.

Zheng Rong nodded: "I will!" To be honest, if he hadn't been born in the Zheng family and was the first son of the eldest son, with his status as both parents dead, it would be really not easy to marry a noble family in this age. prostitute.If historians didn't want to marry Qingliu, they wouldn't have chosen Zheng Rong.However, in this day and age, this kind of thing is a matter of course. Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames.

The people who greeted the relatives headed towards Zheng's house in a hurry, and the Shi family naturally couldn't catch up. However, as the mother's family, there is also a banquet here to entertain relatives and friends. Congratulatory people even set up [-] tables of running water seats on the street outside the gate, no matter the traffickers or pawns, as long as they come to say congratulations, they can sit down and eat their fill at any time.

On the other side of the Zheng family, when the sedan chair arrived, it was almost an auspicious time, and the formal wedding began——
