Be good, is Prince Xu going to move Prince Jing's mansion to Yu's house? In addition to some of Xu Wang's own property and some rare treasures collected, nearly half of the warehouse of Prince Jing's mansion was also moved out, as well as part of Princess Jing's own dowry. The weight of the dowry gift is really not light! ! This King Xu will really show face to his future wife.
However, when they saw Xiaocao's dowry list, they didn't know what to say! At the beginning, the only daughter of Prince Jing's mansion married far away, and she paid a total of one hundred and twenty-eight dowries, which made the ladies in Beijing envious. The dowry of Princess Jin'an is estimated to be difficult to hold at 128 liters. It is quite appropriate to set a new record for the number of dowries! Looking at the quality of other people's dowry, it is not comparable to ordinary people. No, even ordinary people can't compare. It is estimated that in hundreds of years, it will be difficult to have a dowry beyond.
The most interesting thing is that when the two parties decide on the dowry before accepting the recruitment, this procedure mainly requires the parents of both parties to come forward, and the matchmaker mediates the mediation. The main reason is that the matchmakers hired by the two families are too big, and the Taishanghuang is okay, thinking about Xiaocao's craftsmanship, he runs very hard, the key is who dares to order him to spread the word! The emperor is even more busy, and it is a great favor to show his face. But Yuan Sinian has suffered a lot, traveling between Prince Jing's mansion and Yu's family, his legs are about to lose weight.
Generally, when people discuss dowry gifts, the woman wants to ask for more dowry gifts, while the man wants to get less or less, and the two sides are at odds. These two families are good, after the draft note from Prince Jing's Mansion was delivered, Yu Mansion saw that there were too many dowry items listed on it, and discussed which ones could be reduced. After all, Prince Jing's mansion still has a second child who is not married, and the two sons must be in the same bowl. If they were all such generous betrothal gifts, it is estimated that the family property of Prince Jing's mansion would be wiped out.
As for Prince Jing's mansion, after the matchmaker came to express the meaning of the Yu family, not only did it not decrease, but also added a few things. Princess Jing said that most of the dowry was saved by the youngest son himself, and he was willing to give it, so others naturally had nothing to say. The second son took root in the border. He has been there for so many years, except for the occasional letter declaring his safety, he never came back once. It's hard to see even a sow in the border army, let alone a woman. Regarding the marriage of the second son, there is nothing that Princess Jing can do if she is in a hurry. Princess Jing has already kept his dowry gift, and if she saves it for a few more years, she won't lose it to him.
Concubine Jing originally thought that among the three sons, the youngest son was the most difficult to get married. After all, he was in such a situation in the early years. I really can't imagine that after marrying him a wife, there will be a tragedy of killing his wife. Unexpectedly, God was kind to the youngest son, so he met the right person early on. A person who is usually as cold and hard as a stinking stone, unexpectedly became enlightened so early, knowing that he would make a concubine for himself early. No, as soon as the other party reaches the age, he can't wait to marry and go home.
The second son, who seems to be the most worry-free, has become the one with the hardest scalp to shave. well! I don't know if his younger brother is married, that guy will be willing to ask for leave and come back. Now that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are not so many wars at the border. What are you doing in the army? Why don't you come back quickly, see a few ladies in Beijing, and make a marriage arrangement early. This is not a good son, and he doesn't know how to be considerate of his parents' feelings!
Depressed, Princess Jing added several sets of valuable jewelry from her dowry to the list of betrothal gifts as if she was angry. She also wondered whether to add some profitable shops to it. Even Zhu Junyang himself felt that the mother and concubine had forgotten that she had a son. This is the rhythm of emptying out the family!
"Mother Concubine, there are already more than a dozen shops in the betrothal gift, there is no need to add any more. Your dowry should be left to the second brother, right? Otherwise, he should think that you are partial to my little son!" Zhu Junyang felt that he was not satisfied. I can't open my mouth anymore, the more I feel that the dowry is too much, the more the concubine mother happily adds to it. Such a betrothal gift is more than enough to marry a princess. Uh... this is just a description, how could he marry the princess? Isn't that consanguineous marriage? Still a generation away!
Princess Jing put down the pen and ink in her hand when she heard the words, sighed, and said: "Your second brother is just awkward! It's no wonder he thinks that the mother and concubine are biased. He has been the most worry-free and well-behaved one since he was a child. You are the one who wants to support the entire palace, so your father and king will naturally be with you and educate you personally. Your situation is special, so mother and concubine will naturally pay more attention to you! Unexpectedly, the one who seems to be the most docile, hides in his heart There is so much resentment and dissatisfaction. Your second brother went to the army for seven or eight years and never came back to visit his relatives. He is still blaming us!"
When Zhu Junyang led his troops to the northwest, the second brother had already been transferred to the southwest border. According to the news from old general Zhao, the second brother performed well in the army, all the way from a small soldier to a commander of the fourth rank, all because of his solid military achievements. This time when the class teacher returned to the court, he heard the news that the second brother had made great contributions in suppressing bandits in the southwest, so he probably didn't escape this year's promotion.
As for not returning to Beijing for so many years, at first Zhu Junxi did not have a vacation because of his low military rank, but later he was busy earning military service and had no time, so he really didn't mean to resent his family.
Zhu Junyang comforted: "I have already written to my second brother about my marriage. I just received a letter from him recently, saying that my elder brother, how could he be absent? Mother Concubine, you will be able to come soon." I saw the second son you miss!"
"Really? When did you receive the letter? You child, your second brother wrote a letter, why did you tell your mother and concubine now?" Princess Jing immediately asked her younger son to bring the letter over, and read it over and over again. After several times, I put it in the envelope with satisfaction. He didn't return the letter to his youngest son, and put it in the jewelry box on the dressing table with his own treasures. Inside are all her most cherished jewelry, among them is the emperor green emerald head face given by the youngest daughter-in-law.
Seeing this, Zhu Junyang's heart softened. As a mother, the more she complains in her mouth, the more she will miss her children in her heart. He remembered that before he met the little girl, the mother concubine was not in good health, and she always worried about him. He felt that the concubine's body was dragged down by his original situation. For a moment, he stepped forward and embraced Concubine Mu's shoulders, and said emotionally: "Concubine Mu, you are the best mother in the world!"
Concubine Jing was stunned by his sudden closeness. Since her youngest son was rescued from drowning when he was five years old, he has been unwilling to have physical contact with anyone. His temperament is getting more and more weird and irritable. If it wasn't for the appearance of that girl Xiaocao, she dare not imagine what her son would become! Unexpectedly, she could be hugged by her youngest son again. This reminded her that when her son was very young, he liked to be in her arms the most, with his chubby little body, soft and milky...
Hearing her youngest son's sensual words, her eyes were hot. At the same time, I was very grateful: fortunately, God heard her prayer and sent the little grass girl to her son in secret. The youngest son is becoming more and more "warm man". Although outside, he still maintains a cold and distant attitude, but he is more and more willing to express himself to the people he cares about! They are all tuned and taught by little grass girls!
At the same time, Concubine Jing felt a little sour in her heart—the son who had been brought up with great difficulty left the nest immediately and rushed to another woman's embrace. Alas, I can't help my mother when I marry a daughter-in-law... Fortunately, she has a reliable young daughter-in-law, and she thinks about her future mother-in-law for everything good!
"Ahem!!" Prince Jing came in after he was busy with his business. Seeing his little bastard hugging his wife, he said unhappily, "What are you doing? How old are you, and you still act like a baby with your concubine? Let go of me!" Wang's daughter-in-law, I want to take your daughter-in-law to Yu's house!"
"How did you talk to the child?" Princess Jing pinched him angrily and amusedly, and took out the second son's letter to show him, "The second son will probably be back early next month. I don't know if I can come back this time." How long will I stay, and I don’t know when I can come back next time. The girls from the families I’m interested in will be arranged for him to meet this time, right? This time, I have to make a marriage arrangement for him no matter what! Hey, hey !!Look at the good sons you have raised, all of them are worry-free. How old are your second sons? Are they going to be thirty? Look at those in Beijing who are not married at such an age, and they can still find out the first one. Two?... "
Zhu Junyang saw his mother and concubine turned into a chatterbox, and kept nagging in front of his father. He glanced at his father sympathetically, and found an excuse to run away: "That... father, mother concubine, my brother-in-law will die at the beginning of next month." It's time for Chun Wei, I'll go see if I can help..."
Looking at the back of her youngest son leaving in a hurry, Princess Jing sighed, and said: "It is said that a daughter is outgoing, so having a son is not going to be any better! No, the daughter-in-law has not married yet, so she has left the father and mother aside. Tell me, what can he do as a military general in the scientific examination? Don’t you just want to find an opportunity to meet his little daughter-in-law? There are still twenty days left, and the daughter-in-law will marry and come in. What do you think then? Can't you see it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault! My son loves his daughter-in-law and spoils her. This is because of this king!!" Seeing his youngest son go out, the maids and women tactfully avoided him and pulled him away. The daughter-in-law is playing with her slender hands like a little girl's.
Princess Jing blushed when she heard the words, cast a glance at him, and cursed with a smile: "You are not ashamed! What nonsense are you talking, be careful not to be overheard!"
Prince Jing peeled a grape, removed the seeds and put it into Princess Jing's mouth, saying: "It's just the two of us in this room, who can listen to it? Besides, what this king says is the truth!"
Concubine Jing ate the grapes he fed into her mouth, feeling sweet in her heart, but thinking of the second son's marriage, she frowned again: "I don't care, when Junxi comes back, you tell him! You have to make an appointment to get married." Leaving Beijing, it's best to take care of the marriage together!"
