Li Lin said goodbye to Su Xun, and then got on the horse in front. Everything was ready and ready to leave, when the master of ceremonies shouted: "Take the newlyweds back home——"
Then there were firecrackers crackling, and the wedding team set off in a mighty manner.
First, there is a guard leading the way, and the groom walks behind the guard on horseback. Behind him is a group of guards. Behind him is the bride's float, and after that is the carriage where the trousseau is placed.
The carriage has no carriage, but pulls a carriage board. On the carriage board are placed many boxes and cages tied with red silk cloth. The boxes and cages are close to each other. The carriages come one after another, like a rainbow. I don’t know if they are more than a dozen taels or more. More than twenty vehicles.
On both sides of the carriage, there was a guard escorting the dowry not far away. Behind the carriage, there was a group of people carrying the dowry. The team was vast and stretched for ten miles.
This is truly Shili Hongzhuang.
When the wedding procession was passing through the street, someone was counting Su Wan's dowry upstairs, and he didn't even know how much it was.
Some people's eyes turned green with envy.
"How much does this cost?!"
"I think it's definitely more than one hundred and twenty-eight lifts!"
"It must be more than that. The number I just counted was one hundred and fifty!"
"I heard that His Majesty gave me a reward yesterday, which added a total of thirty-two tons of dowry. It must be more than one hundred and twenty-eight tons!"
"That's your Majesty's reward! Whoever gets married can get your Majesty's reward and give her a dowry! I'm really envious!"
"Isn't it a hundred and ninety-two lifts? Hiss! My mother! So many! Isn't this Princess Wenxiao a golden mountain?"
"You just know it now! Princess Wenxiao, her biological mother is the aunt of the Duke of Zhenguo. When she got married, she also had a lot of red dowry. Few people can match it. Now that Princess Wenxiao is getting married, her mother's dowry is naturally hers. !”
Dowry is a woman's private property. If the bride marries into her husband's family, if she has children, these things will be inherited by her children in the future. If she has no children, then these things will be inherited by her natal family in the future.
The Yue family only has one daughter, Su Wan. With the Duke of Zhenguo here, and the Duke of Jinning also looking for face, all these things will naturally be handed over to Su Wan to take away.
This was already a huge amount back then. Now after so many years of operation, one can imagine how much there is. In addition to the additions to the house and rewards from the emperor, let alone one hundred and ninety-two lifts. , I’m afraid it won’t be able to fit even a hundred more.
"However, this newlywed couple is very enviable. In the past, when the Li family hired Princess Wen Xiao, they gave them thousands of gold and silver. There is a saying that 'a thousand pieces of gold will marry a beautiful woman, and ten miles of red dowry will marry a new man.' It's also beautiful." One thing at a time!”
"It's indeed a beautiful thing! Let's go to congratulate you later and ask for a wedding drink. We also want to be happy. In the future, maybe we can marry a good wife."
"I have this intention, let's go and prepare a gift to congratulate you!"
The carriage welcoming the bride passed by on the street, and people on the side said congratulations from time to time. Li Lin responded with a smile and said congratulations. His expression was calm and calm, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
On the other hand, Li Cheng and the others who were watching upstairs were quite sour.
Jiu Bian slapped the beauty fan in his hand and said with a smile: "He doesn't feel embarrassed at all, but that's right, he has been waiting for a long time to marry this person, and now he is probably very happy about this. What does it matter?"
Another person said: "It's rare for the young master to care so much. In the future, we must treat this lady with more respect and never make her unhappy."
"It sounds like Madam is being unreasonable. I pestered Hui Feng before, but Hui Feng had spent time with Madam. He said Madam is a kind, intelligent and very reasonable person. Don't worry, our Mistress is fine!"
"Exactly!"
At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Hey, the young master seemed to have gone to Jingping Garden last night."
Jiubian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked curiously: "Why are you going to Jingpingyuan, Master? Could it be that you can't sleep at night and want to take a look?"
"Okay, don't watch the excitement. Be careful, the young master will come back to deal with you. Let's get ready and go over for the wedding banquet in a while."
"Let's go and get ready."
People on the roadside watched the excitement. Everywhere the wedding procession went, they exclaimed or commented, saying how handsome Li Linsheng was and how lucky he was to marry a noble daughter of the Jinning Palace. Princess, let’s talk about Su Wan’s dowry. I’m afraid few people can compare to it.
Or maybe he compared Su Fu's dowry when she got married, and felt that she was still the legitimate daughter, but the difference was too far.
Su Wan sat quietly in the float, leaning on the soft pillow and taking a breath, feeling a little tired. Fortunately, this float had a carriage, and no one outside could see what she was doing while sitting inside. Otherwise it will be even more tiring.
Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei got on the carriage after Su Wan got on the carriage. The auspicious time for the bride to enter and pay homage was at dusk. They would probably be on the road for two hours. They would have to follow up to serve the master, or It is to relieve the master's boredom and pass the time.
Su Wan didn't know how long the wedding procession would be, and she felt bored sitting in the carriage, so she took a storybook and read it to pass the time.
This kind of time was undoubtedly a bit torturous, and she looked a little absent-mindedly, paying attention to the situation outside while reading. She couldn't turn many pages for a long time. At the end, she simply asked Xiao Sang to take out the gift list for her to see.
No matter what time it is, counting money is the most fun!
All worries and discomforts were forgotten.
Xiao Sang was also confused for a while, but he still took out the gift list and gave it to her. Su Wan looked at the gift list, who gave something to so and so, and what it looked like. She felt really happy and passed the time like this.
During this period, Li Lin sent people over to ask several times, asking her if it was good here, if she wanted something to eat or drink, and if she was too tired to stop and take a rest. She always thought it was good.
After she studied all the gift lists, two hours passed. The sun set in the west, a red cloud fell on the horizon, and orange light fell on the ground. The wedding team was swaying now. He stopped at the entrance of Jingpingyuan.
There was the sound of firecrackers, and Su Wan picked up the round fan to cover her face again. Xiao Sang and Xiao Fei packed everything up, and then stood on her side.
Just as the master of ceremonies outside shouted loudly for the bride to get out of the carriage, she was helped out of the carriage. When she lifted her foot from the carriage, she suddenly felt a hand reaching out and helped her out of the carriage. There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the side.
Su Wan was naturally aware of who was holding her, and her face became a little red. Looking into his smiling eyes, she lowered her head slightly.
His tone was gentle: "Ma'am, be careful."
