On October 16th, at the second hour of the 19th of October, the Qiao family vaguely heard drums and music coming from afar in the house. Then Wen Tingzhou took the lead. Surrounded by several classmates, a servant was carrying the betrothal gifts and coming all the way. Dading did not require the female parents to come forward, so the matchmaker handed over the betrothal gift list and the big red wedding letter.

The matchmaker had already come with a betrothal gift list two days ago. Although the engagement parties could provide opinions on the betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts and other items, Wen Tingzhou was sincere and Madam Yun was not that kind of person with shallow eyes, so he would not be tilted around here, so he just followed the betrothal gift list given by the Wen family.

With the marriage letter, the marriage between the two was certainly unchanged. Madam Yun first collected the marriage letter properly, then opened the betrothal gift list and read it. Although I had read it once a few days ago, Madam Yun still felt happy when she read it again.

With Wen Tingzhou's background, he could not have taken out these betrothal gifts. Madam Yun just asked about the origin of these betrothal gifts. After all, it will be the couple who will live together in the future.

Wen Tingzhou has been doing business in recent years, and has made a small fortune in the maritime trade. After going to Beijing, he met some people and started a few businesses with them, earning about a thousand taels of gold. He was quite affordable. This time he was hired, and he was quite heavy.

The guests and neighbors who came to Qiao's family to attend were also shocked when they saw the load of things. Madam Wei Yun felt calm after seeing so many things.

After the servant of Da Wen Tingzhou put the boxes of betrothal gifts,

Madam Yun smiled and took the betrothal gift list handed over by Wen Tingzhou. It read: The betrothal gift was 1,000 taels of gold, 58 pieces of silk and satin, 6 pieces of Shu brocade, 8 pieces of Yun brocade, 16 pieces of twill, 26 sets of four seasons of clothes, two pieces of tiger skin, ten pieces of deer skin, ten pieces of fox skin, four pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, red gold inlaid with red, blue, emerald, pearls, agate, tourmaline, jasper... One set of heads and faces, three sets of red gold and silk heads, six sets of silver heads, and six pieces of other pieces of jewelry, and ten pairs of gold and silver ingots. There were also tea cakes, seafood, three animals, and several candies and rice wine. Madam Yun did not take a closer look at them.

After she finished reading it, she roughly estimated that the bet of 10,000 taels of silver was about 30,000 taels. The private money Mu Yun saved in the Duke of Chengguo's mansion for so many years and the money she had made money was at least 100,000 taels. The total number of other items such as jewelry was about two boxes.

She put the dowry prepared for her, the dowry prepared for her by the Duke's wife, princess and the betrothal gifts of Wen Tingzhou, and the dowry gifts of Wen Tingzhou, and then Mu Yun's dowry would probably be indispensable, and it might be more than Qingkong. Madam Yun frowned, and she secretly estimated Mu Yun's dowry, and she could actually carry at least sixty-six on the surface.

However, Mu Yun had a lot of dowry, which was also her decent. After thinking about this, Madam Yun became happy again. The son-in-law gave so many betrothal gifts to show her importance to her daughter, so she naturally had no dissatisfaction. Then she asked the maid around her to take the gift slip and hand it over to Mu Yun, and turned to deal with the guests and neighbors who came to watch the fun.

Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi brought people to help with things early in the morning, and even Duke Cheng sent Xixian over. The three of them, Xixian, represented Duke Cheng's wife. Shan Jingyan was the future Princess Jin, and Yuan Chuzhi was the princess of Prince Ke's mansion, and he was a royal relative.

Of course, most of the people who helped were servants from the Duke's Mansion. Yuan Chuzhi brought four maids and a group of guards to see Mu Yun Dading, which was also considered to be a support for her.

Some nearby families heard that the daughters of this family were determined to get to know Master Yuan, and they all came to join in the fun. They also saw the wife of Duke Cheng’s mansion sending someone. Princess Yu and the lady of Duke Cheng’s mansion came in person, and they all rushed over to curry favor with each other.

Although Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi don’t like these people very much, they are used to dealing with them and never make people unable to stand up to them.

After the news came from the family of the neighbors who were close to Madam Yun and the big managers in the other houses, they came over yesterday. As they helped them get the help, Madam Yun also wrote down the relationship.

Although the guests invited by neighbors and Madam Yun were having a good life, they were still surprised after seeing the betrothal gift from Wen Tingzhou. The gold and silver heads shone brightly under the sunlight, which was very eye-catching.

The silk and satin are also dazzling and precious. Although some of them are rich, their wealth is not as good as giving out so many betrothal gifts. Many people looked at Madam Yun who was chatting and laughing with the female relatives who were in contact. Today, she wore a maroon satin top with embroidered branches and crabapple flowers, and a pair of gold hairpins with red gold inlaid gems on her head, and a pair of hairpins with red gold inlaid gems, and a pair of hairpins with the same color, which was the one given by Wen Tingzhou. Madam Yun wore a dress today, who gave her face.

She wore a pair of green jade bracelets on her hand. Maybe she was in good spirits when she was happy. Madam Yun looked like a girl from the 28th day of today. Her serious and rigid face on weekdays is rarely softer today, which is very different from before.

A neighbor sighed in his heart: The Qiao family is too early, it’s a good marriage! Look at the eldest son-in-law who is the commander of the Imperial Guards, and the second son-in-law who is Jie Yuan. I’m afraid it’s on the list after the spring exam next year. Look at the Miss Cheng Guogong Mansion and the Princess who are here today, and they have a wide connection. I think that I have to have more contacts with her family in the future, so I can’t be alienated.

Wen Tingzhou gave such a generous betrothal gift, which naturally attracted a lot of comments from the onlookers. Of course, there were also those who were jealous and couldn't help but sneer: If you accept such betrothal gifts from others, when you go out tomorrow, you can't take out the corresponding dowry to see you?

It’s no wonder outsiders think so. After Madam Yun and the other three moved here, they only showed this house and hundreds of acres of land in Xigu Town outside the suburbs of Beijing. The land was only five or six hundred taels of silver in a year. Even if they saved it for ten years, they wouldn’t be able to save the same dowry as the betrothal gift today.

Even a few of the wifes in charge of Madam Yun also muttered to herself that after the other guests left, a lady in a maroon dress asked Madam Yun privately: "How is Muyun's dowry? The Wen family has given so many betrothal gifts, so you have to give a similar dowry here. If it is too thin, it will be a joke. If it is tight, we will lend you some, and we dare not say a thousand taels of silver. We can still take out three or five hundred taels of silver."

Madam Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have made a lot of money over the years. I have also had a few farms that have harvested a lot every year, and I have saved some. Although the Wen family has given Mu Yun a lot of dowry, our Mu Yun has already prepared almost the same dowry, not less than the Wen family. Now there are only some things like rouge and water powder. She saved some heads and faces and private houses when she was in the Duke's Mansion, and her wife also prepared a dowry for her. In addition, she herself is not a good deal. She has made a lot of money in recent years. The Wen family's dowry must be taken away by Mu Yun, so it must be a good idea..."

Hearing this, the lady nodded and said, "That's good. I'm still worried that I can't take out the same dowry. Will the Wen family look down on Mu Yun!"

Madam Yun smiled at her and said, "Mu Yun can recognize words and have many tricks, don't worry. She can make money!"

The lady was a little envious, but she smiled and said, "That's true, I have heard of what Mu Yun did in the Duke's Mansion. Since you said that, we will be relieved. In the future, if Mr. Wen gets the exam this year, Mu Yun will become a wife after getting married. Even Qingkong is still a wife of a fifth-rank military officer! I really envy you..."

Madam Yun said, "What's there to be envious? Your life is not bad! Your brother is not old, but he is filial and sensible. Now he works with the prince, and his future will not be bad. He is not young anymore. It's almost time to get engaged next year and the year after. Then you can choose a good wife for him and wait to hold his grandson..."

The lady smiled and said, "Then I will lend you auspicious words!"

Madam Yun smiled and replied, "Yes."

As the two of them said, they saw a wave of guests coming to their door, and quickly stopped talking and greeted them.

...

Muyun was staying behind, Shan Jingyan, Yuan Chuzhi and Qingkong were all in her room.

"That's the first time we've come to you! The decoration method is really good, the study room, locker room, bedroom and bathroom are all together. I'll have to create one like this in the future." After visiting Muyun's house, Yuan Chuzhi liked this style very much, and yelled to build such a room in the future.

Mu Yun wore a double-breasted waist-length dress with peony rouge red embroidered peony and a relatively mature makeup, which made her a bit gorgeous.

Now when Yuan Chuzhi shouted, she smiled and said, "If you like, I will give you the design drawings when you leave later. If you want to build it, you can just refer to it and modify it."

"Okay." Yuan Chuzhi responded, and told Yueli to remember to take the drawings with Muyun when he left. Yueli naturally responded with a smile.

A group of girls were chatting in Muyun's house until Madam Yun sent someone to send a betrothal gift list.

Mu Yun took the order and looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that she was so ignorant that she looked so cute, Shan Jingyan snatched the betrothal gift list, and Yuan Chuzhi also came over to look at it.

After a while, Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi finished reading it and returned the betrothal gift list to Mu Yun and said, "This Wen Yan values ​​you very much."

This betrothal gift is not considered a rich man in front of Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi, but it is already a sky-high betrothal gift for ordinary people.

After hearing what Shan Jingyan said, Yuan Chuzhi also smiled and said, "Jingyan is right. But I still want to remind you that although I met Wen Yan for the first time today, he seems to be not an ordinary person. He can give so many betrothal gifts, which shows that it is also a trick. Don't lose yourself for any illusory love in the future."

Mu Yun sighed, not refuting Wen Tingzhou. After getting along with him, Mu Yun naturally gradually understood his character.

Yuan Chuzhi was right, either. Wen Tingzhou was indeed a scheming and capable person, but what was wrong with this?

Mu Yun didn't think this was nothing, as long as Wen Tingzhou was sincere to her, it would be enough!

So Mu Yun smiled and said, "How to say, am I that kind of person?! Besides, can I not feel whether he is sincere to me or falsely? I am not afraid of you to joke with him, I like his face..." Mu Yun interrupted with a smile.

The people in the house are all smart people, so naturally they will not continue to discuss this topic.

Everyone laughed and scolded Mu Yunyan Gou.

However, Xueli suddenly said: "If you like men with good-looking faces, then you should go to Nanfeng Pavilion to see Mr. Nongyu, who is a handsome man..."

After saying that, Xue Li even looked like a slutty person, which made everyone laugh.

Seeing this, Yuan Chuzhi said oh, "Why didn't I realize that Xueli is still a flower slut!"

Sydney blushed, and the girls in the room kept laughing again.

...

After the grand decree was over, the housekeepers who had Madam Yun had a hand in charge had something to do. After attending the preparatory ceremony, she hurriedly rushed home. Madam Yun naturally had to take some tea cakes, fruits and other items back to several families.

After the grand recession was put, Mu Yun could start sewing wedding dresses.

She took out the originally prepared clothes, and as soon as she finished cutting, she saw Zhong Li hurriedly running in and saying, "Girl, Princess Yongchang is here."

Speaking of which, Mu Yun hadn't seen Princess Yongchang for a long time, and when he suddenly heard her coming, he was very confused. He quickly cleaned up and went out to see Princess Yongchang.

Although the Qiao family's house is a little small, it exudes a sense of fireworks. Princess Yongchang feels that the house is reassuring at first sight.

When Mu Yun came out, Princess Yongchang had already walked outside the second gate. She smiled and greeted her and said, "Why is Princess coming? If you have something to do, I'll send someone to inform me. Our house is shallow, so I'm afraid that you will be wronged."

Princess Yongchang smiled faintly: "What's wrong with grievances or not? I haven't visited such a house yet, so I've come to open my eyes. Now that you have great peace, it's not good for you to go out often. I'm free today, so come and see you."

When I heard that Princess Yongchang was coming, Madam Yun and Qingkong also quickly came out and were about to give a big gift. Princess Yongchang personally stopped him: "Yunxiu, you don't have to be polite. I'm just here to see Muyun today. Don't panic, it makes me look like a beast!"

Madam Yun and Princess Yongchang have also met many times in Duke Cheng's Mansion in the past, but they can still say a few words.

The maid brought the tea, and Mu Yun smiled and said, "This is a kind of flower tea I baked. Although it is not as good as the princess, you can drink it every day, at least it has some wild fun. You can try it."

Princess Yongchang lifted up the tea lid and sniffed it, saying, "This tea smells quite fragrant." Then he took another sip and savored it carefully and said, "This tea tastes long aftertaste, and the fragrance of flowers in one mouthful is quite good for my taste."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "The county mainly likes it. I'll take some for you to take it back, and take it back later when you leave."

Princess Yongchang smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to you. I've brought you good things here." After that, the maids carried two big boxes in. Princess Yongchang opened a box full of cloth. The fabrics were extremely radiant. Princess Yongchang took out one of the big red materials. He said, "This material is called silver-red satin. It is the craftsman of the previous dynasty. Now I can't find a craftsman who can weave this. It was found that I found out from the warehouse in the mansion. It was originally my dowry item, and only the last piece was left. I saw that the color was pure red. After so many years, I took it out and took it out, it was still as bright as new as before. If you don't dislike it, you can use it as a wedding dress..."

Mu Yun looked at the piece of material, pure red, and when it shook, it would reflect a faint silver light.

The fabric is smooth and silvery. Muyun has to admire the craftsmanship of the ancients. It is like some high-quality silk that is preserved, and it is no problem to keep it for decades.

Madam Yun knew that this was also a good thing at first sight, so she said, "You should use such a good thing for the ladies in the mansion, until Mu Yun."

Princess Yongchang laughed and said, "Yunxiu, are you confused? The ones in my mansion are all concubines. Are they not worthy of my things?"

"..." Princess Yongchang said this. Madam Yun couldn't answer. Speaking of which, no one in the capital knew that Princess Yongchang disliked her husband, the concubines in the back house of Marquis Jingnan.

Seeing that Madam Yun had nothing to say, Princess Yongchang was not angry, and her temper was there, and everyone in the capital knew about it. She was a cheaper person and did not want to save the concubines of the Marquis of Jingnan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Mu Yun hurriedly said, "The piece of wedding dress I prepared was also the material offered in the Jiangnan Weaving Shop. I thought it was good, but now it is much worse than the princess. I just finished cutting it, and the princess brought this again..."

Princess Yongchang smiled slightly: "What's the matter? Since it's cut, you'll make it into other clothes. Since it's the material for offerings, I think it's not that bad. By the way, how is your dowry done? Can I take a look?"

Most of the maids brought by Princess Yongchang were drinking tea in the front hall, and there were only a few close maids around her.

Mu Yun smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? They are all in the wing room of my yard. The princess doesn't mind me, I'll take you to see it."

Zhong Li went to Muyun's room to take out the keys and first opened the wing room in the small backyard. She saw that the room was filled with furniture. Most of them were rosewood. Shan Yuan promised that the furniture had not been made yet, so there was a little bit of furniture.

However, with Muyun and Wen Tingzhou's current status and the Qiao family's family background, Hongroe furniture is enough.

Princess Yongchang knew that these furniture were prepared by Yun Xiu and Xu, but she felt that it was still a little thinner and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Mu Yun said a few words in her ear, and Princess Yongchang immediately laughed.

Then, Mu Yun took Princess Yongchang to another wing room to see the head, face jewelry, clothes, silk and other things placed inside. After seeing it, Princess Yongchang went to Mu Yun's house with satisfaction to have tea. She smiled and said, "Your dowry looks pretty good. Woman, dowry is your confidence to settle down in your husband's house, don't be coaxed."

Mu Yun knew that Princess Yongchang had a kind reminder, so he smiled and replied: "Princess Xie reminds me, I understand."

"Yeah" Princess Yongchang also responded while drinking tea.
