Early the next morning, Yingchun got up early. There was a mother-in-law who dressed her head in a bun, wearing a red wedding dress with wide sleeves and a double breast, a red phoenix crown on her head, and gold steps on her temples.
After dressing up, the pearls are bright and the forehead is covered with goose yellow.
Then Yingchun had breakfast with her sisters.
This meal is also a farewell meal between the sisters. After eating this meal, when they come back next time to welcome the Spring Festival, they will no longer be the daughter of the Jia family, but the wife of the Liu family.
After the meal, the sisters said auspicious words to congratulate the New Year together, and the New Year shed tears unconsciously.
At this time, Liu Changqing and the Liu family's wedding team had arrived in front of the Jia Mansion.
The middle door of Jia Mansion is wide open, and Jia Lan, a junior in Jia Mansion, is waiting for the groom with a tea tray in his hand.
Liu Changqing got out of the car and gave Jia Lan a red envelope. Jia Lan weighed it and found that he had three or four taels of silver before he welcomed him into the house with a smile.
Next, Liu Changqing met with the elders of the Jia family and came to welcome the bride.
At this time, all the descendants of the Jia family came out to make things difficult for the groom.
It wasn't until Liu Changqing was making things difficult that he was sweating profusely, and Jia Huan stepped forward to stop the Jia family's descendants.
Liu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Jia Huan.
There is another ceremony to follow, but it doesn’t need to be remembered too much.
Jia Huan also sent the bride to her mother's family and followed the welcoming team out of Jia's house.
The married daughter of the Jia family started cleaning the streets as early as a few days, dressed in red and colorful clothes, which naturally alarmed many people.
In ancient times when there was a lack of entertainment activities, every wedding and funeral event always attracted countless passers-by to watch.
And the weddings and funerals of those wealthy families attracted even more people.
Even if these wealthy families are unwilling to compare, the passers-by who are watching will help them compare.
Which prince's house has a much dowry for a married woman, which prince's house has a very shabby married woman, which wealthy family has extremely extravagant marriages, etc.
How rich each family is can be seen from these things alone.
And the Jia family can be regarded as one of the top names in the entire capital.
The marriage of a daughter from the Jia family naturally attracted countless people to watch the excitement.
After the wedding team passed by, the dowry for the Spring Festival was carried out.
Pieces of dowry were slowly carried out from the door of the house.
Those spectators watching the excitement enthusiastically helped count.
After laying it out for several miles, all thirty-two sets of dowries came out.
"Tsk, tsk, after all, the Jia family is a double-governed family. People say that their family is in decline. Look, isn't this the dowry from Thirty-Two Terraces? I heard that the second lady is still a concubine! What if she is a legitimate daughter? , Tsk tsk, I’m not sure how much the dowry will be!”
"Tch, this second young lady is the concubine of the uncle of the Rongguo Mansion. I heard that the uncle only gave out eight dowries. The old lady in the mansion couldn't see it, so she added eight dowries."
"2816, isn't this just sixteen units? Where did the other sixteen units come from?"
"These sixteen units, I heard they were added by the third master of Dongfu!"
"Tsk, tsk, the third master and this second lady are just uncles and sisters. I have to say, the third master is really loyal!"
"Who says it's not true! Otherwise, he would be the number one scholar who has won six yuan in a row! His Majesty even personally declared Jia Sheng's promise to be worth a thousand gold!"
"With the birth of a third master, the Jia family will prosper for decades more!"
While these onlookers were talking a lot, a convoy of ten four-wheeled carriages suddenly drove out from behind the thirty-two dowries.
These ten four-wheeled carriages are different from ordinary four-wheeled carriages, with an extra carriage hanging on the back, and each carriage carries a full-length mirror.
These four-wheeled carriages are all clad in red and colorful, obviously still part of the dowry.
This scene immediately shocked everyone!
"Hey, boom, boom, boom, this, this is a big deal!"
"A four-wheeled carriage costs five hundred taels of silver. It's still expensive but not marketable. It's not easy to buy it!"
"And now, there are ten cars accompanying them. This car alone is worth five thousand taels of silver!"
"This, this, what kind of mirror is this? Why do you see it so clearly?"
"This, this photo looks exactly like a real person. What kind of fairy mirror is this?"
"Hmph! Don't you know? This is called a glass mirror. Isn't this mirror worth a thousand taels of silver?"
"Such a big and exquisite mirror, I'm afraid even a thousand taels of silver wouldn't be able to buy it!"
"Tsk tsk, this car and mirror must be another dowry given to the second lady by the third master! I have to say that the third master is really a righteous man!"
"Who says he's not here? Look around the capital, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone like Mr. San."
Not only were people talking about the excitement, but there were also a group of naughty children following the carriages with great interest.
He jumped up excitedly and looked in the mirror, shouting happily.
Those who are watching the excitement from the front follow the dowry.
There were people who kept joining in, and for a while, the entire street where the wedding procession passed was blocked.
So much so that the Military and Horse Divisions of the Five Cities had to send officers and soldiers to maintain order on the scene.
For a time, the luxury of the Jia family's dowry shocked countless people.
This pomp and luxury is probably nothing more than that for a royal married daughter, right?
Passing through half of the capital, I don't know how many people were disturbed.
An hour later, the wedding team arrived at Liu's house.
And these thirty-two sets of dowries alone took less than half an hour to sort out.
As for the ten four-wheeled carriages, although the Liu family was also a wealthy family, it was incomparable to the Jia family.
The fifth courtyard of their house occupied a lot of space due to the large number of guests and preparations for the wedding. There was no room for ten four-wheeled carriages in the free space.
In the end, the next five cars had to be temporarily placed in the open space outside the house.
Needless to say about the dowry of Thirty-Two Tails, the new daughter-in-law is a young lady from the Jia family after all, so they had their expectations.
The ten four-wheeled carriages were beyond the expectations of the Liu family. This dowry was so rich that no one in the Liu family could find another in a hundred years.
This made them feel in awe of the Jia family and their new daughter-in-law.
And above the four-wheel carriage, there are ten full-length mirrors.
Glass mirrors are precious things. Even in the Jia family, they are rare and very precious.
After all, the Liu family was much worse than the Jia family. They had never seen a glass mirror before.
Now that I see the full-length mirror, everyone is amazed.
They were secretly calculating in their hearts how much money the dowry could be converted into today. After calculating, they were all secretly frightened.
Today, all the dowry is calculated in one place. It amounts to at least fifty or sixty thousand silver, or even more.
There are rumors that the Jia family is in decline, but when a concubine gets married, she has such a generous dowry.
People are afraid that just sweeping the floor will be enough to feed their family for a lifetime.
Next, there is a series of rituals such as welcoming the newlyweds into the home, going to the church to get married, and sending the newlyweds into the bridal chamber, etc. There is no need to go into details.
When Jia Huan returned from the banquet, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
