Chapter 135
In the early morning of October 19, it is a good day for making-up delivery, drying and adding. Lin's family, friends and neighbors came early. Han's and Meng's are just that. Lin's neighbors never thought that this neighbor's family was not exposed to mountains and water, but they could buy such a heavy dowry for their daughter. Most of the people living near the Lin family are low-ranking officials and gentlemen of the Wenhua Academy. Their family background is generally not rich. Some people can't afford such a dowry even with their own efforts. There are those small minded people who can't help muttering, but when they see Meng and Shen sitting at the top, they dare not show it.
They were just about to start when they heard the servant report that "the instrument of the empress of the Liang princess has arrived outside the door." After hearing this, even leisurely was surprised. She didn't expect that Shen Tian would come to make up for her. Because Han's family is leisurely in the future, it's not good to come and make up in person today. Two days ago, someone sent someone to deliver things. There were all kinds of red gold and gem inlaid heads, jade ornaments, gold and silver collars, mink skin and deer antler, makeup satin and mang pieces, and precious medicinal materials. They gave two boxes of things, which made leisurely's dowry carry two more.
In the heart again is shocked, she also hurriedly should go to the door. Fortunately, most of today's family members are women, and only a few close relatives of the Lin family have been invited to Enron's study to avoid suspicion.
When they arrive at the door, Lin's mother and leisurely are about to give a big gift. They are blocked by Shen Tian's servant girl. She says with a smile, "they are not outsiders. They don't have to be so polite. My aunt and sister don't mind if I come uninvited. "
Lin's mother quickly said, "it's the honor of our family that the princess can kiss me to my humble home. Please come inside, princess."
Shen Tian was surrounded to the inner courtyard. For the first time in his life, many people could see people of the rank of princess. Just now, Mrs. Hou, the Meng family, has opened people's eyes. Now there is another Princess of the Liang Dynasty. She is more elegant and dignified. Everyone feels that today's show is not in vain.
Shen Tian's identity is the most expensive. Although Meng's is her aunt, the royal rules are there. Naturally, she is the leader.
Shen Tian knew leisurely's preference. She presented a set of jadeite jewelry. The jadeite texture was clear and greasy, and the color was rare bamboo blue. It was very valuable at first sight. The crowd was full of praise.
Then there is Meng. Although she has given leiran a valuable dowry, today's day will not be underestimated. She also asked the maid to hold two brocade boxes, one with a set of red gold and emerald inlaid head, and the other with a set of purple jade jewelry. The purple jade is warm, elegant and leisurely.
Meng said with a smile, "I happened to get a piece of Purple Jade a few months ago. The rare thing is that the quality of the jade is pretty good. I think this kind of color is suitable for you young people, so I'll let people make several sets of headdresses carefully, one for the princess, and the other for you. "
Shen Tian said with a smile, "the jewelry given by my aunt is very good. Look, I'm wearing the bracelet today." According to the words, they saw the purple jade imperial concubine bracelet on Shen Tian's left wrist. With Shen Tian's body movement, there was a warm glow flowing, and they were amazed.
Aunt Lin saw the scene of Dading last time. She had a plan. This time, she also brought out a pair of hairpins with red coral inlaid with broken gems. Leisurely's great aunt gave a pair of red gold butterfly hairpins inlaid with pearls, and her second aunt gave a pair of Ganoderma lucidum bamboo hairpins. Naturally, they are not as rich as Meng's, but they are also the best things they can bring out with their family background. Leisurely nature will not dislike, very sincerely thank a few people.
Some of the neighbors who originally came to add makeup thought that if everyone was like Meng's way of adding makeup, the things they brought were really not good enough. They were hesitant to add some more on the basis of the original gifts. Now I see leisurely aunt and aunt add things, although not bad, but with their own things are almost the same, so everyone is secretly relieved.
Then they took out their belongings one after another. They were nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, silk ruler and so on. Although they were not particularly valuable, they were not too thin. They didn't know that Lin's mother was also secretly relieved at this time. If you accept other people's things, you will have to pay back the favor in the future. If everyone gives them too much, it will be a trouble to pay back the favor in the future.
Lin's mother asked people to straighten out these things, and then put together two dowries, plus the two dowries given by Han and the two dowries sent by Fang Xinsu in the morning. In this way, it is seventy-four dowries. Lin's mother felt that this figure was not very auspicious. She opened the storeroom again, picked up some things and put together two sets. In the end, leisurely's dowry was as much as 76. Moreover, each dowry is full of weight. Although it can't compare with Shen Tian's ten mile red dowry, it is similar to the daughter of the Duke's family.
It's natural to start with the red sandalwood inlaid with jade that the Empress Dowager gave her at the beginning. It's the thinned dowry. With the royal reward in it, it will be precious, not to mention the leisurely dowry itself. When people heard that it was the dowry of the elder sister Lang, they stopped to watch it. The way to send the dowry was also beautiful.
When they were sent to Shen Ze's house, Shen's patriarch's wife and some elderly people of different generations saw it and smacked their tongue. They never thought that it was just a girl from a maid's family. Originally, the family was just a farming family. They could have such a rich dowry. There were 10000 taels of silver in the light box, among which there were gifts from the Empress Dowager and the emperor. Apart from the ten thousand taels of betrothal money Shen Ze sent in the past, the rest is worth more than twenty thousand taels of silver. No wonder at the beginning, Han would help Shen zeding with such a marriage.
When Shen Ze's engagement came back to Jinzhou, most of the Shen family didn't think much of it. Although Shen Ze's parents died, his family fortune was not diminished, and he passed the examination again. Even if he married the daughter of a wealthy family, he was not insulting. I didn't expect that a poor woman who was a servant girl soon after leaving the country was finally appointed, which surprised a group of people. Many people think that Youran has something to do with Han's, so that he can help Shen Ze decide such a marriage. Even the patriarch's wife was dissatisfied, but she had not yet written to inquire about it. It is said that Miss Lin formally worshipped the couple of marquis Changping as adoptive father and adoptive mother, and her younger brother became a disciple of Han imperial master. In this way, the two families can match each other, but they are still suspicious.
Later, the girl's younger brother suddenly won the first prize, and everyone changed their suspicion to praise. They all thought the marriage was good. The number one scholar of that year is now a scholar of five grades, though not as senior as Shen Ze. However, the promotion of Wen Chen was slower than that of the military officer. Besides, Lin Zhuangyuan, who was only a few years old this year, was already a high-ranking official of five grades. Behind him were the feelings of Han imperial master and the face of Han Shangshu. As long as he didn't commit any crimes, he would be able to get to a high position.
Now, seeing such a rich dowry, and seeing Lin Zhuangyuan who came to give the dowry, who was beautiful and elegant, they all praised him one after another. I heard that the number one scholar had not been engaged yet, so I had a little calculation in my heart.
