"In any case, it is not as good as the betrothal gift given to the fourth girl by Prince Zhao's Mansion."
"No!"
After all, there is Zhuyu in front, no matter what he takes out, it cannot go past Su Fu in front, it is just to add laughter.
In the past, when the emperor got married, he was given tens of thousands of gold and silver, which was the most precious gift in Eastern Zhao. In the past, when a prince or prince married a concubine, or the eldest grandson of a clan married a wife, as a sign of nobility, he was promised thousands of gold and silver.
Nearby, the prince's marriage to the princess, the prince's marriage to the princess, and even the marriage of Zhao Mingzhan, the eldest son of Prince Zhao, to Murong Ning, cost thousands of gold and silver, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to about 20,000 taels of silver.
When they arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion to hire Su Fu for Zhao Mingyan, she was given eight hundred taels of gold and eight thousand taels of silver. It was said that according to regulations, the eldest son in front of him could not be surpassed by his legitimate son, but in fact, Princess Zhao felt resentful and did not want to give it. Then he pressed Su Fu's head down and looked down at Rong Ning.
However, there was nothing wrong with Princess Zhao's statement, and the bride price of eight hundred gold and eight thousand silver was already considered very good, and it was very honorable to tell it, so no one came up with it.
"If not, let's go over and take a look to see what kind of betrothal gift the Li family gave?"
"Can!"
"Let's go!"
So this group of people who were full and had nothing to do went to the Jinning Palace in groups, thinking that even if they couldn't go into the mansion to watch the excitement, it was worth watching at the door.
The Duke Ning's Mansion has started preparations in the past few days. It has given all the servants in the house a set of neat new clothes, which they will wear early this morning.
Mrs. Wang also got up early to dress up today, ordered people to prepare all kinds of things for guests, and waited for the distinguished guests to arrive. Ms. Wang was still angry when Su Fu got engaged, so Ms. Yang had to handle everything herself. She was too lazy to care about it.
But now, when Su Wan wanted to get engaged, she naturally put a lot of thought into it. She had ordered some things to be done by Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li and Aunt Mei. Someone went out to greet her that day and came up when she sat down. What kind of tea and what snacks and fruits are used, they are all very particular.
It was early in the morning (9 o'clock in the morning) when Li Lin and Mrs. Jing arrived. A total of three carriages came over. The sound of horse trampling could be heard. The carriage carriage shook slightly, and the red silk cloth tied on the side of the carriage gently The ground is lifted by the wind, and it looks festive.
The carriage at the front was occupied by people, and the two carriages at the back were filled with boxes wrapped in red silk. There were guards on horseback escorting them on both sides, and a group of guards followed behind. It was quite a fight.
"Come on, come on, the Li family is here!"
"It seems like a lot of stuff to load into two carriages!"
"No one knows what's in it, or whether it's a box for recharge."
"Tell me how much money the Li family has."
"Then Li Jingyuan didn't get ten thousand taels of silver from Prince Sui before. Even this ten thousand taels of silver is enough to prepare a decent betrothal gift!"
"Hey, it seems like this is happening!"
The carriage passed by slowly, and the people around stood on tiptoes, as if they wanted to see through the carriage to see clearly what was inside, but after all, it was through the carriage, so no one could take a peek.
The carriage stopped in front of the Jinning Duke's Mansion. Su Jian was accompanied by the housekeeper who had been waiting at the door to greet the guests. Su Jian was wearing a robe with dark embroidery of maple leaves. Although he was a little thinner than before, he still had the character and was still an emperor. A handsome young man from the city.
The coachman dismounted, took a stool and placed it at the foot of the car. Li Lin first opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, followed closely by Mrs. Jing who was supported by the maid.
Li Lin was wearing a green suit, his hair was combed cleanly and elegantly, his face was handsome and elegant, and his figure was like a cypress. At this moment, he was smiling lightly, and his movements were calm and calm.
Facing the people who gathered around to watch the show, he just looked at it indifferently, as if he didn't care at all.
Someone sighed softly: "Why didn't I pay attention before? This Li Jingyuan was born well..."
"Madam, please get out of the car." He stretched out his hand to help Mrs. Jing get out of the car.
Mrs. Mirror put her hand on his outstretched hand, with a sincere smile on her face.
As far as the Jing family is concerned, the Li family in Li City is their main family. Likewise, they are also their backers. No matter where they are, if something bad happens, they can return to Li City to get protection and preserve their bloodline.
Not only Mrs. Jing, but also the Jing family owner would have never expected to have such dealings with this family head. I hope he can get his wish this time, so as to remember the Jing family's help this time.
Mrs. Jing was wearing a begonia red dress, and she looked luxurious and noble. Although she could not compare with the magnificence of the official wife, she still had the aura of a peony that would conquer the country. She had a golden hairpin on her head and was swaying as she walked. Dazzling, upon closer inspection, they are all treasures.
Su Jian saluted Mrs. Jing: "Zijian has met Mrs. Jing."
Mrs. Jing nodded: "It's polite."
After Su Jian and Li Lin met, Su Jian said: "Today, I am here to greet the distinguished guests in the name of my grandmother. Please come in."
Mrs. Jing turned around and saw that the accompanying guards were moving very quickly. In a few seconds, they had already unloaded the boxes containing the betrothal gifts from the carriage. They were lined up on the ground one by one, and people were ready to carry them through the door. .
Mrs. Jing nodded: "I'd like you to lead the way over there."
Su Jian raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please."
The people on the side were watching, occasionally lowering their heads and talking quietly. At this time, they saw Su Jian walking towards the gate to welcome the two of them. Following them, a guard followed them and handed the betrothal gift list to the government. butler on board.
The butler, dressed in festive new clothes, took it and began to read the gift list.
"As the son of the Li family, I want to marry Awan of the Su family. I'm here to give you a gift——"
"A token of engagement—a pair of warm jade pendants—"
Someone brought a pair of jade pendants, half hidden and half visible, half covered with red cloth on a wooden saucer into the mansion.
"The bride price - one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver -"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of spectators behind exploded with a bang.
"Thousand taels! Ten thousand taels!"
"Brother, did I hear you right?"
"Is my ear broken?"
"No!"
"One thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, a thousand taels of gold to marry a beautiful woman. What a great gesture from Li Jingyuan! He is really willing to give it up!"
"Where did he get so much money? This is at least 20,000 taels of silver! Even what he got from Prince Sui before was only 10,000 taels of silver."
"that is!"
"Could it be that the Jing family is helping me?! The Jing family is rich and powerful, and it's no big deal!"
"Maybe it is!"
Some people's eyes turned red with envy: "It would be great if I could also establish a relationship with the Jing family. Maybe I can also get this betrothal gift! I can also marry a rich girl!"
"Who says it isn't?"
"You are so beautiful! Can a rich lady like you?!"
