Chapter 251 Ten Miles of Red Makeup
Liu Ruosi's wedding day happened to be Chunhe Jingming. As soon as the dowry-carrying team left the door, it attracted countless people to watch. Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er only had a daughter like Liu Ruosi, so the dowry was naturally prepared to be extremely generous. The first dowry carried here has already entered the gate of Yongjing Prince's Mansion, and the last dowry has not yet left the gate of Liu Mansion. Liu Ruosi's Shili Hongzhu was not only shocked, but even after many years, it was still shocked. People talk about it.
The Liu family prepared a dowry of 128 pieces for Liu Ruosi.
The nine dowries at the front are all large pieces of adobe wrapped in colored paper, and the nine dowries that follow are all roof tiles with red double happiness characters. It is these eighteen dowries that have already amazed the onlookers. People were dumbfounded. The adobe represents the dowry property, and the roof tiles represent the dowry property. The adobe bricks of different sizes also represent different amounts of land. There are people who know the rules and stare at these few people carrying the dowry and counting them with their fingers. counting.
The adobe bricks used in Liu Ruosi's dowry represented a field with a hundred slopes. The nine-taiwan dowry carried a total of eighteen adobe bricks, which was 1,800 hectares of fertile land. At this time, one hectare of land was equal to ten hectares, and one hectare of land was equal to ten hectares. An acre is equal to ten acres, and Liu Ruosi's dowry included 180,000 acres of fertile land alone. Mrs. Liu Er's wife gave almost all of the most fertile farmland in her dowry to Liu Ruosi.
As for the real estate, the courtyard attached to the farm was naturally given to Liu Ruosi. In addition, Mrs. Liu Er also gave two villas and a small garden in the capital to Liu Ruosi. In addition to these, there are also There are quite a few shops and thousands of houses. The dowry that was brought out for people to see was only half of it.
After the fields and houses, there are all kinds of wooden furniture. The most conspicuous among them is naturally the Huanghuali Qiangong Chuang that Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er had prepared long ago by Liu Ruosi. This was carried by several strong men. Carrying it was like lifting an exquisite house. In addition to this Qiangong Chuang, there were Arhat couch, imperial concubine couch, mother-of-pearl couch at the back, as well as several tables, piano tables, piano benches, cabinets, standing cabinets, and more. A complete set of huanghuali and rosewood furniture such as Baoge, clothes racks, basin stands, and Kang tables.
Behind the furniture are boxes full of things Liu Ruosi needs for daily life, including brocade quilts, brocade mattresses, various bed tents, bead curtains, embroidered curtains, etc. There are also clothes for all seasons and various colors. Among them, there are no less than twenty pieces of large sweater clothes for winter. The rulers in the box are even more abundant, including twenty pieces of python robe material embroidered with colorful satin, twenty pieces of python robe material embroidered with multicolored gauze, and two pieces of python satin material. Ten pieces, twenty pieces each of large and small rolls of shiny satin, twenty pieces of velvet, thirty-five pieces of satin, thirty-five pieces of which are forged with golden longevity characters, and there are also large rolls of yarn, palace yarn, damask, and Lu silk. , red burnt cloth, etc. several each.
These things can be regarded as something that Liu Ruosi will never use up in a lifetime or even several lifetimes, and some of them she will not need. But in the future, they will be very useful as gifts or rewards. Mrs. Liu Er said: Liu Ruosi's idea was very thoughtful.
Later, of course, there were also gold, silver and jade articles, various antique calligraphy and paintings, and Liu Ruosi’s jewelry, which dazzled those who looked at them directly. Those who didn’t know how to do it just looked at those dazzling golden things, but those who knew how to know knew that compared with these, those looks Unsophisticated ornaments, calligraphy and paintings are more valuable treasures that are rare to find.
This Shili Hongzhuang stunned everyone, but it was something Liu Ruosi had expected.
Speaking of which, all the items for the dowry had been decided on a long time ago, but there was a slight disagreement on the final issue of how many burdens to arrange. Before arranging the dowry for Liu Ruosi, Liu Er
Madam, please inquire carefully. When Liu Ruosi's mother-in-law Su Shi married Prince Yongjing, her dowry was one hundred cents. When the Crown Princess entered the house, it was one hundred and twenty-eight cents. The second master of Prince Yongjing's palace, Rongcheng
Xiang was born as a concubine, but King Yongjing, especially Mrs. Su, was not at all lax when it came to proposing marriage for him. When the second wife, Mrs. Lao, came in, she had a dowry of ninety-six dollars.
Now that Liu Ruosi is going to marry into Prince Yongjing's palace, she must refer to these data when it comes to the amount of her dowry.
Mrs. Liu Er prepared a lot of things for Liu Ruosi, but she wanted to keep a low profile when it came to the number.
"It's not good to go beyond your mother-in-law." These were the original words of Mrs. Liu Er. According to Mrs. Liu's inquiry, Su's dowry was also very rich at that time, enough to carry a hundred and twenty-eight yuan, but Su's own
Qian was too tight and refused to usurp her cousin, the first wife of Prince Yongjing, so she deliberately reduced the dowry and only carried a hundred dollars through the door.
For the sake of Liu Ruosi's future relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu Er said that Liu Ruosi's dowry should not exceed one hundred taels, nor could it be on par with the Su family. However, Liu Ruosi's dowry was really large and she wanted to reduce it.
It is very difficult to get below one hundred lifts. Even if it is a full one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, there are still many things that cannot be brought to light.
If it is less than one hundred kilos, then it will be the same as Lao's, which only carries 96 kilos? But Mrs. Liu Er is not very willing. Rong Chengxiang was born as a commoner, and he only inherited the protection of King Yongjing, and he was allowed to serve as any official in the court.
Rong Chenghan was a casual official, but Rong Chenghan was a direct descendant, and he was granted the title of Marquis and held a high official position. Liu Ruosi's dowry was the same as that of the Lao family, which seemed too modest.
Mrs. Liu Er was worried about this matter. Finally, it was Liu Ruosi who said, one hundred and twenty-eight dollars, without any reduction. Naturally, the assets of the Liu family and Master Liu Er's official salary could not support them.
Most of the ten-mile red makeup was the dowry of Liu Er's wife, which was the life of Liu Ruosi's maternal grandfather, Qi University, and even the accumulation of several generations of ancestors. Liu Ruosi put on such a ten-mile red makeup, not only did she not worry
Even if the official is impeached, he is not afraid of people gossiping.
What Liu Ruosi needs is not to keep a low profile. Liu Ruosi has thought about this since she decided to agree to Rong Chenghan's marriage proposal. For example, sitting on the sedan chair now, listening to the drumming outside mixed with the lively voices,
Liu Ruosi's heart was calm.
She suddenly remembered that Master Liu Er taught her to recite poems when she was a child. One of the poems was Su Shi's "Inscribed on the Wall of the Western Forest". It looked like a ridge on the side and peaks on the side, with different heights from near to far. She didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, but she was only in this mountain.
Liu Ruosi hummed in a low voice, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain." The scenery in the mountain is like this, and so are the human relationships in the world. Take the Liu family, Mrs. Liu Er, and her own affairs as an example. In the eyes of the world,
Of the several daughters-in-law in the Liu family, Mrs. Liu is the most virtuous and is considered the most virtuous daughter-in-law. Mrs. Liu’s third wife is naturally ranked after Mrs. Liu’s, but before Mrs. Liu’s second wife.
Although Mrs. Liu Er has a deep relationship with Mr. Liu Er and has deep love as husband and wife, and treats Mrs. Liu Er with respect and respect, in the eyes of the public, she is the least virtuous daughter-in-law.
Not only did the generous dowry not give her any points, but she suffered a lot of ostracism in front of Mrs. Liu and her sisters-in-law, and was accused of being self-proclaimed and arrogant.
The second master had been married for many years and gave birth to only one daughter, Liu Ruosi, but she did not take any concubines for the second master Liu. This further cemented Mrs. Liu's reputation as an unworthy woman.
Although, in Liu Ruosi's eyes, Mrs. Liu Er is the most gentle and kind-hearted woman, the best mother, and the most submissive daughter-in-law in the world. In the eyes of Mr. Liu Er, Mrs. Liu Er is also the most perfect wife. But these
, does not hinder Mrs. Liu Er’s unworthy reputation.
Mrs. Liu Er has been known as unworthy for a long time, but Liu Ruosi realized this only recently, so...
"Xianming!" Liu Ruosi smiled, "What does Xianming represent? Who knows what the face behind the mask of Xianming actually looks like!"
Before getting on the sedan chair, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu gave her many instructions, but they had only one purpose, which was to hope that Liu Ruosi could be a virtuous person. Liu Ruosi was very well-behaved at the time and agreed to them all. But really
Do you want to be a virtuous person, like Mrs. Liu?
Of course not, and she doesn't want to be another kind of virtuous person like Mrs. Liu Er, who has been submissive and compromised for many years. Only when Liu Ruosi gets married can she win the favor of her mother-in-law. In her previous life, she tried to do this.
If she did it, what would be the result? Of course, she would never make the same mistake again in this life.
When she married into Prince Yongjing and Rong Chenghan, Liu Ruosi had no intention of being "virtuous" from the beginning, and she didn't mind others saying she was not virtuous. For example, this high-profile dowry represented her attitude.
In front of Rong Chenghan, she had never been a virtuous and virtuous woman. So, Rong Chenghan still asked for marriage and was determined not to marry her unless she got married. Then after getting married, there was no need for her to change herself and deliberately pretend. After all, for
She has never deceived Rong Chenghan about her own temperament, and Rong Chenghan should not have any unrealistic expectations.
So what if he expected it? Thinking of this, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but smile again. Just before getting on the sedan, she once secretly glanced at Rong Chenghan. Today's Rong Chenghan is quite different from before, not that he
What he was wearing today was the expression on his face.
Rong Chenghan was very happy and looking forward to it, and he seemed to be a little silly with joy.
Yes, that's right, Liu Ruosi just saw a little bit of stupidity in Rong Chenghan. This was something she had never thought about, that Rong Chenghan would have such a time. But Rong Chenghan like this
To her surprise, it was not inconsistent.
Rong Chenghan must not have known that the person he happily married would be someone who was determined to collect debts from him!
A deafening sound of firecrackers outside reminded Liu Ruosi that she had arrived at Prince Yongjing's Mansion. From now on, in addition to facing Rong Chenghan, she would also have to face many other people, the first of which was naturally the Su family.
If Mr. Su treats her kindly, she will reciprocate with filial piety. But if Mr. Su treats her unkindly, she will definitely retaliate in kind.
