Chapter 83
When Duke Cheng came back from the border, he naturally made another fortune. With a wave of his hand, he took out a lot of good things for his daughter.
With the gifts from some tribe members and relatives, and the dowry prepared by the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, it finally managed to squeeze it into one hundred and eleven, and many of the remaining ones were planned to send them privately.
Some of the best jewelry, jewelry and jade were hidden under the box and not revealed. For others, there may be only a few gems and pearls in a brocade box, but in her box, it is almost the same as a few boxes in other people's houses. Then, here, the jewelry was filled with a full box, and just various gems, the pearls contained more than a dozen large boxes. Shan Jingyan felt that relying solely on these jewelry alone would be enough to marry a wife and daughter. In addition to the gifts given by her parents, some of these things were delivered to her by some wealthy businessmen through Mu Yun.
If it were before, Shan Jingyan would not have received such unknown things.
But since she opened her heart and talked in detail with King Jin, she suddenly had another idea. King Jin's actions all show that he is a big ambition. If he really has that fate, as his wife, so what if he naturally pushes him? As for the future, it depends on who can laugh to the end.
After watching for a while, several respected men began to add makeup first. Wang, as Shan Jingyan's aunt and a first-class lady, asked her to come first.
Although the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has given Shan Jingyan a dowry, she still has to give her makeup if she is dowry. After all, outsiders don't know!
Wang took two gold-painted boxes from the maid, and opened them. One contained two sets of red gold-headed and faces, one was the red gold-burned silk head and face smelled by Qianye Jinjin Peony, the other was the carved red coral head and face of the red gold-shaped red coral head and face of the transparent color, a pair of Fulushou glass-type jade bracelets and a pair of dot-green jade-embedded purple jade beads.
After Wang gave it to him, the remaining three aunts followed him. The second aunt Bai gave a pair of crystal clean bottles, the third aunt Princess Changji gave a box of extremely delicate jewels, and the younger aunt Guan gave two antique calligraphy and paintings.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that the four wives of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion gave them not badly, but they would not surpass them too much.
Then the other wives started to add makeup. A wife who had a relationship with the Duke of Chengguo opened the box and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, she prepared two more items in the morning, otherwise it would be thin. Her makeup gift was two sets of heads, one set of pearls and one set of tourmalines. Although it was not as good as the four wives of Yong'an Hou, the relationship between his family and Duke of Chengguo was also considered heavy.
The next gifts of makeup given by the imperial edicts are very heavy, so I won’t repeat them one by one.
Mu Yun secretly stumbled on the side. Fortunately, she gave the things to Shan Jingyan early, otherwise it would be a bit too shameful if she compared them with all the wives.
What Qingkong gave me was naturally a medium-sized screen of a picture of flowers, birds and pomegranates embroidered by myself, and a small table screen embroidered with magnolia flowers and some other small embroidery pieces. The colors of each embroidered with exquisiteness, and Qingkong took a lot of thought. This is a very novel and exquisite style for the ladies who gave gifts.
Even though Shan Jingyan had been lenient in receiving gifts recently, she still saw these embroidered objects in Qingkong and praised him without saying a word: "Qingkong's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated."
After everyone finished putting on makeup, Shan Jingyan had to thank her one by one.
Everyone quickly turned their backs and received only half a gift. When the ceremony was finished tomorrow, they would be the only one who could give the ceremony. Xu sent someone to register all these things and put them in his daughter's dowry.
In just a while, Shan Jingyan received hundreds of sets of heads and faces, plus the 160 sets of open and 88 sets of sets originally prepared by the family, and the 66 sets of sets prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Shan Jingyan will change these heads every day for the next year, without any further changes.
While everyone was envious and talking, Chunxiao walked in happily and replied: "Madam, Miss, King Ming brought some royal children to urge him to make up."
Xu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pack everything, cover it, and tie the red silk.
As the drums and music started, the servants of Duke Cheng's mansion were dressed in new clothes, with red silk tied around their waists, and carrying Shan Jingyan's dowry out of the door.
The first time I carried the dowry to the gate of the King of Jin's mansion, the last time I was still in the cross-yard of the Duke of Chengguo's mansion, the onlookers praised: "Today I can see the ten-mile red makeup. Look at the person carrying the dowry and the shoulder pole have been bent, and it can be seen that it is full of things inside."
Not to mention the common people, even the princes who came to urge makeup and a group of royal family members met, and they were envious and jealous of King Jin.
The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chengguo was not only talented and beautiful, but also had a generous dowry and a powerful family. This really allowed King Jin to have a good marriage.
On August 11, King Jin wore a crown and ward of the prince, and went to the harem to the empress dowager, the emperor, and the queen to bow three times and nine times. Later, he brought the royal carriage of the county princess and the Luanyi Guards, the official of the Interior Office and the attendants of the royal palace to marry the bride.
Amid the sound of drums and firecrackers, Shan Jingyan covered her red veil. After bidding farewell to her parents, her eldest brother Shan Yuan personally carried her to the sedan chair and started an unknown life.
After the wedding, King Jin naturally respected her in every way, gentle and gentle, and even helped her to comb her hair personally.
Shan Jingyan found an opportunity to chat with King Jin in person during her wedding. King Jin had already explained that at this stage he would not take a concubine or marry a concubine.
His foundation in the court is unstable. What he needs most now is to make facts. He does not want the back home to be uneasy, so he will not cause trouble for Shan Jingyan at this time, but he also hopes that Shan Jingyan can understand and support him.
Shan Jingyan's love first started to fall in love, so she naturally focused on her husband. She knew that King Jin did not fall in love with her because she saw that King Jin had no love in his eyes, and that all she had was respect for his wife.
But Shan Jingyan didn't mind these things. Now he wouldn't make things difficult for her, so she would naturally take good care of the back house of Prince Jin's mansion so that he would have no worries.
On August 12th, the two went to the palace to pay a visit early in the morning, and Thirteen naturally returned to the door. On the morning of Thirteen, King Jin was having dinner with her, and a maid came to report: "If you say the prince, Miss Zheng asks for a meeting."
King Jin frowned: "Why did she come? Didn't you send her home?"
Seeing the prince frowning, the maid shrank slightly, "Miss Zheng said that the prince's wedding the day before yesterday, she was not of the grade and could not attend the prince's wedding. Today I would like to congratulate the prince on his marriage."
Shan Jingyan turned to look at King Jin and smiled and said, "Since Miss Zheng is here, the visitor is a guest. The prince might as well invite her in and talk."
King Jin replied calmly: "You are my princess. From now on, you will be responsible for all the affairs of the mansion. If you want to see her, you can ignore her. If you don't want to see her, you will just ignore her. Anyway, she is just a daughter of a military doctor."
At this time, Miss Zheng happened to walk to the door. When she heard King Jin's words, she couldn't help but blushed her eyes and bowed to King Jin and Shan Jingyan with a grievance: "Minister Zheng, a civilian, pays tribute to Prince Jin and Princess Jin."
Shan Jingyan was prepared for a long time and did not mean to make things difficult for her. She smiled and said, "Get up, Hello Sister Zheng. I heard the prince's guard mention you a while ago. You are here today, and I will also say thank you to you, thank you for taking care of the prince in the northwest."
Miss Zheng replied: "Prince Xie praises me, the people of the people dare not take credit."
Hearing this, Shan Jingyan didn't frown and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare to take credit for me? This is a great achievement. I have to give you a good reward."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered Chunxia to take a pair of silver-wrapped plum blossom bracelets to give her: "The prince was fighting in the northwest two years ago. It was your care for him to make the prince so healthy. This is for you to reward you, don't dislike him. In the future, the prince will give it to me."
Shan Jingyan means that if I reward you, it means that you have done something. If I reward you, everyone will be cleared up in the future. Don’t use this matter to continue to get entangled.
Hearing this, Miss Zheng said in panic: "Princess, the people are not here to reward me." As she said that, her eyes turned red.
He looked so trembling and pitiful, without Liang Ling Jinwang's sneer, Shan Jingyan sneered in her heart, gave the maid a look, asked the maid to help her up, frowned and said, "Didn't I say it? If you do good things, you should naturally reward it. Don't say no. If you don't accept it, it will be a bad idea for me to manage the family." Then she smiled and said to King Jin who had been serious and silent on the side, "Your Majesty, are you right?"
After hearing Shan Jingyan's words, King Jin nodded: "What the princess said is of course right."
However, King Jin looked at Miss Zheng with a pretentious look and felt very bored. Shan Jingyan naturally saw the impatientness flashing in his eyes. With a smile on his eyes, she gently said to Miss Zheng: "Miss Zheng, look, it's getting late. If you have something to do, you can tell me and the prince are still going back to the door. It's not good to miss the time."
The subtext is: If you have something to do, just say it quickly, and stay wherever you have nothing to do.
King Jin was impatient to deal with these things and said to Shan Jingyan: "I'll go outside and wait for you, hurry up."
Shan Jingyan smiled in her heart and said gently on her face: "Okay, the prince will go first, I will follow you later."
Then he turned to Miss Zheng who was a little disbelief and said, "Sister Zheng, you saw it too, we are still rushing out. I'll ask the people in the mansion to send you back first. What about you coming next day?"
When Miss Zheng saw Prince Jin, she left without any mercy. Her heart was broken and she said with a sob: "Don't bother you, Princess, you can go back by yourself."
Shan Jingyan smiled and sent someone to send her out.
As soon as Miss Zheng went out, Shan Jingyan curled her lips and said, "Just like this and her methods?! She is so embarrassed to come out to pretend to be a white lotus, Mu Yun is much better than her."
Chunxiao and Chunxia on the side laughed and said, "That's right, princess, isn't this just a bad thing? And princess, compare Muyun with her. Muyun knows it, I'm afraid he'll talk to you."
"Uh" Shan Jingyan's expression on her face, "I have nothing to say" was said by the two maids. After laughing, the master and servant hurried to find King Jin and went back to the door together.
In the carriage, Shan Jingyan looked at King Jin who was resting with her eyes closed and said with a smile: "If the prince has other ideas about Miss Zheng, I don't agree."
King Jin opened his eyes after hearing this: "I said calmly, no need, the conditions we discussed at the beginning will be valid until I sat in that position."
King Jin is an honest man. He does not hide his ambitions in front of his wife. This makes people feel relieved. After all, he puts his ambitions in front of him, so you naturally know how to get along with him.
Shan Jingyan looked at him and said in a daze: "Okay..." Then King Jin closed his eyes and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Shan Jingyan always thinks that it is not scary for men to have ambitions. The most feared thing is that they have ambitions but do not have matching IQ and ability.
She was a little swaying towards King Jin, but now, she thought King Jin was at least not bad at IQ. It was obvious that the Zheng family was pretending to be soft-hearted than men who felt a tear when they saw a woman and didn't know what to say.
Although he thought so, he still had to do it.
Early in the morning of the second day after returning to the door, Shan Jingyan entered the palace and asked the Empress Dowager and the Empress to decide to choose two more concubines for King Jin. This action made her a good reputation of being "virtuous and generous".
However, later, King Jin personally accused the Empress Dowager and the Empress and said that he had just married the princess, and it was time to cultivate feelings. It was difficult to marry the concubine one after another, for fear that it would affect his relationship with the princess.
The Empress Dowager and the Queen naturally took King Jin as the main one, and praised the couple for their considerations. For this reason, they also rewarded many good things to enter King Jin's mansion.
Mid-Autumn Festival was a few days after returning to the door.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the dinner held by the royal family, the Empress Dowager also made a special effort to praise Shan Jingyan for this matter.
...
Mu Yun had no idea about these things. At this moment, she was nervously preparing for marriage. Although she was traveling through time, it was the first time she got married in two lives, and she was still a little nervous.
In order to prepare for her marriage, the family even spent Mid-Autumn Festival, and even Qingkong ran back to help.
September is coming in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, Mu Yun has sorted out a lot of dowry at home. She can't even put down her yard, and she even put most of it in the west wing courtyard before she got married.
Although the Qiao family has a poor family, Madam Yun has successively bought a large village with a hectares of land and a shop near the Imperial College for Mu Yun in batches. There are also gold, silver jewelry and four-season clothes mentioned earlier. In addition, eight sets of bedding, Shu brocade, Yun brocade, Song brocade, Hangzhou silk and other fabrics were prepared for her.
Although the Qiao family's real estate is limited, Mu Yun and Qingkong are still secretly unaware of it, because they both think that these are all from Madam Yun. If Madam Yun doesn't say it, they don't ask. Besides, they don't lack those lands, so why should they stare at Madam Yun's things in Madam Yun's hand?
Moreover, under the guidance of Muyun in the past two years, Manager Sun and his two sons have opened ponds to grow lotus roots, fish, ducks and geese in the suburbs of Muyun Beijing and a large village in Jinzhou. He also made the farm prosperous. The wines of Jinzhou Zhuangzi are now famous. Even foreigners who come to Beijing will buy some and bring them back to foreign countries.
Manager Zhong even took Zhong Yi to travel north and south, and managed the industries in Yunnan.
Manager Zhong from the south followed Mu Yun's instructions to grow rice in the field and raise fish and crabs in the rice fields. Every year, the income from fish, shrimp and crabs alone earns four or five times more than just planting rice.
Moreover, the rice ears grew well in the rice fields that raised fish, shrimp and crabs. The yield per mu of rice was twice as high as that of rice fields that did not raise fish, shrimp and crabs. This method was also brought to the Golden Palace by Shan Yuan. His Majesty praised a lot.
Shan Yuan gave her all the rewards, but Mu Yun didn't ask for them. The people who came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were marked. She really didn't like them very much. Shan Yuan thought it was inappropriate, so he gave up, but the dowry she prepared was much thicker than before.
In addition, in the evening clouds in winter, the villages in the suburbs of Beijing will plant some vegetables and dig a cellar to store some fruits, etc., and there are about a few thousand taels of input every year.
Every time Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi sigh that Mu Yun is good at making money!
So Mu Yun really doesn't need to worry about Madam Yun's private property.
Although the money spent on these dowries made by Madam Yun was not as valuable as the furniture prepared by Madam Shan Yuan, most of the good things that Madam Yun could take out.
The house was prepared by several masters of the Duke's Mansion, and Mu Yun's own private room was filled with eighty-eight dowry on the surface, which was not inferior to a first-rank official marrying a daughter.
Mu Yun was a little worried, would it be too much to be a pity for so many dowries?
Later, Wen Tingzhou sent a batch of betrothal gifts, saying that it was a shortage of shortcomings, as many as ten.
After seeing the betrothal gifts, Madam Yun found that they were all good things!
Others think that the dowry is too little and they don’t know what to do. Mu Yun thinks that the dowry is too much, and it’s a pity.
