In Prince Jian’s mansion, there was laughter and joy in the upper room.

The concubines of the royal family, the wife, the uncles and wives of Wanyan Yongjia's mother's family, and the female relatives of the old family of Prince Jian's family came to put on makeup two days ago.

Logically speaking, there is only Zhen'er, the legitimate princess in Prince Jian's mansion, and Wanyan Yongjia's only bloodline. It is not surprising how generous the dowry is prepared.

Who would have thought that the number of lu outside is only high and the number is not as rich as everyone expected.

Among the female members of the royal family, there were older ones who looked at each other and knew that Wanyan’s concubine was so prepared that she was unwilling to cross Princess Furui.

But when Princess Furui was married, she was just the registered daughter of the Prince's Mansion, just because she was the emperor's grandson.

The woman was named Princess: The Sixth Princess is the only princess born in the Princess' Mansion, and her identity is much higher than Princess Furui back then.

It’s better for others to let go, but the two aunts of the Sixth Princess felt sorry for their niece and prepared generous makeup.

After dinner, the guests disperse and it was the turn of the women in the royal palace to add makeup.

The prince's wife Namudulu took out four sets of treasure-inlaid jewelry, two sets of fashionable styles outside, and two sets of dowry from Mudulu that year looked gorgeous and wealthy, and they were not very good, but they were not outstanding either.

Seeing this, Mrs. Six just curled her lips.

Thinking that the prince and husband had no title, he flattered the successor to the concubine: now he has only obtained the title, so he changed his face.

The fifth lady was puzzled because she remembered clearly that her husband said that the prince had prepared a heavy gift for her sister, and that her family could not compare with her. She told herself to prepare more money for her sister, which would do her best.

Unexpectedly, there was such a change again today.

The fifth lady couldn't help but look at the prince's wife in suspicion, but the prince's wife smiled and could not see anything unusual: looking at the concubine again, the gods were more warm than usual, and there was no other way.

After the prince's wife, it was the fifth wife's turn to put on makeup. The fifth wife had to bite the bullet and ask someone to "relief" her makeup.

That's right, it's really lifted.

In addition to two pairs of gold-headed faces, there are four sandalwood boxes.

When the box was opened, everyone was stunned.

The four boxes of silver barley are full of but the thumb cover is big, and they are rolled into "huān" and "lotus seeds". They look small and cute, but the ordinary silver barley is different, and it seems to have dark patterns covering the head.

Wanyan Yongjia picked up a huā-like silver barley and looked closer. She found that it was covered with Ruyi patterns and Fu characters.

The fifth lady blushed and said, "It's what our master chose. She stared at the person who was chasing and said she was giving her a reward to her sister..."

This silver barley is mostly a box with a weight of one or two, a box with a width of one or two lengths of one foot, and is full of it.

The four boxes came down, and seven or eight hundred taels were afraid they would not be able to fight, otherwise they would not have been allowed to lift them up.

If it were other people, this gift was a heavy gift, but it would seem a bit straightforward and not exquisite enough in the palace.

Even the fifth wife, who was not from a high school, felt that what she prepared was inappropriate when she saw a foreigner who had put on makeup today.

However, Wanyan Yongjia knew that it was not easy for the fifth prince to prepare such a gift.

Although he was the legitimate son of the prince, when the royal family was divided into feudals in the third year of Yongzheng, the emperor was just not suppressing the Jian Mansion. Even the third prince, who was the eldest son, was only granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo. The fifth prince had a lower title, and was only a first-class general of Zhenguo, with a year of 410 taels of Dai.

Today's makeup adds probably take three years to Daiyin for the fifth prince.

Although the children of the royal family all have farmlands and Dai Lu is just a small head, the makeup gift is not light.

If it were si, Wanyan Yongjia would not accept anything, but now in front of everyone, he smiled and nodded, "You two have to worry. I saw these silver barley pieces so exquisite that they were just enough to make money..."

It was Mrs. Six's turn, and there were also four sets of jewelry.

After saying a lot of auspicious words, seeing Yongjia laughing on his face, the sixth lady proudly took the prince's wife.

So what about the legitimate daughter-in-law?

Several princes were divided into residences. Because the sixth prince was born in a villain, he had a low title and a weak family background, but his si's wealth was the richest. Not only did he get the dowry of the concubine, but he also had a si house that the concubine had managed the royal palace for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wanyan Yongjia suspiciously.

Outsiders say that this concubine is a wise man and even her husband respects her legitimate mother. The royal family has been in charge for many years, and there is no such thing as outsiders say.

As for the mother-in-law's money in the name of the housekeeper, did the concubine know whether she knew that Prince Jian's mansion was lively in the makeup, and the next day, the Cao mansion was also lively in the makeup.

Cao Yong was fine, but there were not many guests who needed him to accompany him personally, most of them were in the same mood: Li and Chu Yu had been with the guests for two days, and they only felt so sad that their faces were sore.

Li was old and Cao Yong's husband was afraid of being tired of her, so he saw the guests away and visited Lanyuan.

Li was in good spirits, but he was a little annoyed and impatient to speak. After saying a few words to his son and daughter-in-law, he sent them back to his yard to rest.

There are two accounts on the kang table in the upper room of Jiuruyuan... It is a gift from outside these two days.

Seeing this, Chu Yu remembered the Li family’s ceremony yesterday and hurriedly told her husband.

When Cao Yong heard that Li Wei’s gift was five hundred taels of gold, he couldn’t help but frown.

Five hundred taels of gold are equivalent to five thousand taels of silver. This amount is too much, which is heavier than the Li family’s New Year gift during the Chinese New Year.

Thinking that Li Wei has been acting in recent years and seems to be as generous as a man of the past, but his actions are becoming more and more like an old man in the officialdom and his face is getting thicker every year, Cao Yong felt that it is a bit bad.

He thought for a while and said, "Are there any unmarried boys of the right age at the relative's family?"

When Chu Yu heard this, he was stunned and then smiled and said, "Master has forgotten that this year is the year of a talent show. How many people are waiting for marriage?"

Due to the rules of the Eight Banners, a daughter who is suitable for marriage cannot be married without a talent show. Therefore, the year of the talent show once every three years is also the year of the Eight Banners nobles holding a concentrated wedding.

Cao Yong paused and said, "Is there anyone who is comparable to the trend?"

Chu Yu understood the meaning of coming over to get a clutch and said in surprise: "Master! My niece still has two and a half years of filial piety, how can I say this?" Cao Yong said: "Li Wei seems reckless, but he has always been arbitrary in his actions. This time he gave a heavy gift inexplicably, which always makes people uneasy. If he asks for marriage in front of the emperor, it is okay if he wants to make trouble for him, how can he refuse? "Chu Yu's face is a little bad: "If it weren't for him, the second wife wouldn't be like this now. Since the master has politely refused the marriage, he dares to force the marriage?"

Cao yong said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it." Chu Yu frowned and said, "If it's hastily decided to avoid the marriage between the two families and the niece. If there is something wrong with others, wouldn't it be even more deceptive?"

Cao yong felt upset and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, it was the day when the Tianzuo married.

The people in the East Mansion had already "extinguished the whites for a hundred days". However, except for Cao Xiangfu, the two of them had already been eliminated, the others were wearing uniforms, so they helped the eldest wife come forward to entertain relatives and friends. In addition to Cao Xiangfu, they were left husband and Zhuang husband.

Several juniors are like the Cao family's own nephews, and their closest relatives and friends are not feeling neglected.

In Fuyuan Hall, Li personally entertained distinguished guests.

The Concubine Mi arrived in the morning.

In order to serve her mother-in-law, Prince Zhuang Fujin and Mrs. Fifteenth Lady Beile met at Prince Jian's Mansion and hurried to Cao's Mansion.

Not long after, Concubine Qin also came.

Then, Prince Guo Fujin also followed.

In addition to the female relatives of Prince Ping's mansion who arrived first and the female relatives of Prince Chun's mansion, the royal family occupied a small half of the guests of the Cao family.

Many people, both companies, have been involved in this matter, and they inevitably mentioned the four words "to add a kiss" to each other.

What is said in public is that Princess Furui has relatives with Prince Jian’s mansion, but in fact everyone also understands the relationship between Li and the royal family.

Today, the two concubines were dispatched not to see the prince marrying his daughter, but to watch the ceremony of Mrs. Li marrying her granddaughter-in-law. I wonder if there is any meaning in the palace.

Even if the princess's mansion, who has been awarded the imperial title, may not be able to attend this show.

I have to wait until the evening when I get out of the sedan chair. I still have to wait for half a day, so it’s hard to keep talking.

Cao's mansion borrowed a opera troupe from Prince Zhuang's mansion and set up a stage in Huā Garden. After lunch, the imperial edicts moved to Huā Garden to listen to opera.

Although there are brothers and nephews who help, Cao Yong's husband is still busy for a while and has no time to spare.

Finally, I finally got the sedan chair and Cao Yong got free and came to the east to meet Cao Song on the Hang Seng Yard.

According to the custom of the capital, it is a taboo for those who are filial to do weddings. But if you are close relatives and are difficult to avoid, you should avoid developing sedan chairs and newcomers, and avoid new houses.

After lunch, Zhao Jia took the children back to the East Mansion. Thinking about Li Wei's affairs, Cao Yong sent someone to pass on the message to Cao Song and asked him to stay for the time being.

When he arrived at the Hang Seng yard, he was so tired that Cao Yong had no time to speak, so he poured a pot of tea before talking about Li Weili and Jin Chao's affairs and his own speculations.

Seeing that his cousin was so tired and worried about his own affairs, Cao Song was very ashamed.

He understood that his cousin was never a targetless person. Since he was so careful of the Li family, he should have a conclusion in addition to willingly marrying.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother, I heard from the fourth brother and sister-in-law about the marriage that his cousin had asked about the trendy marriage."

The only one who can become Cao Song's cousin is Changling of the Fucha family and Li Yi of the Li family is Fengde of Zhaojia Mansion.

Among them, if you have good relationships with Cao Song, only Fengde will be able to move around the family.

"The eldest son of Fengde's family is unmarried?" Cao yong said.

Fengde is only the fourth-rank Taipu Temple Shaoqing, because his in-laws and friends with Cao Song,

Even if you can talk about marriage, you can only be the eldest son.

Cao Song nodded and said, "I have been studying in the official school and am preparing to participate in this year's provincial examination. I heard that I will discuss marriage after the provincial examination.

…”

It is said that "a high family marrys a daughter, a low family marrys a fu." In terms of official positions, Fengde's fourth rank is indeed not as good as the third rank of Cao Song's first-class shiwei: But when it comes to family background, Zhaojia is no less than the Cao family.

Because Cao Song himself is Zhao... the nephew of the family, this marriage is really not something the other party is competing.

Cao Yong quickly calculated the blood relationship between the two families in his heart.

Fengde is nominally Cao Song's cousin, but in fact Fengde's father is actually Cao Song's cousin, and his blood relationship is far apart.

The outer relatives are not as good as the clan relatives, and they have fewer uniforms. By the time Fengde’s son and the generation of Tide, they have already given out five slaughter.
