Chapter 169: Dowry

On the sixth day of the September 1st, early in the morning, the curfew had just been lifted, so Chu Tiankuo arranged for Chu Mufeng to watch and pull the furniture from his home to Jiang Zhixia's home.

After carrying the furniture, Chu Mufeng was about to leave. Because Jiang Zhixia didn't even have a man to send her off, Chu Mufeng was sent to Jiang Zhixia as her family's relatives.

Therefore, Chu Mufeng, who has always been accused of being a rough man, was caught by the matchmaker to make up for various customs. Therefore, he was really troublesome and very busy.

Seeing Chu Mufeng anxiously leaving, Jiang Zhixia quickly said while holding the wallet containing the silver notes: "Matchmaker Jiang told me some marriage rules. I should have made this furniture. Because it will be written as a dowry in my dowry booklet in the future. It's too time to go, so I used the new furniture made by Brother Chu. You can collect the silver notes and give it to Brother Chu."

"I won't take it." Chu Mufeng jumped away and took a step back and said.

"Brother has guessed it. He said you will definitely give me money to the furniture and tell me not to accept it. If you say you want to accept it, you will break my legs. Don't harm me."

Chu Mufeng looked extremely scared. After saying that, he ran away---he still had to try new clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhixia had to put away her wallet and thought about waiting for her to get married before she could talk.

In the afternoon, Princess Chengping sent some jewelry and cloth, and added three dowry to Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia expressed her gratitude and was waiting for the dowry the next day.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, it is time to give the dowry.

Jiang Zhixia himself had no female relatives to accompany him to send dowry, so he troubled Mrs. Lin to act as her relatives.

In the morning, according to the calculated day, Chu Mufeng brought the servants of General Lin's mansion who came to help carry the dowry and planned to go out.

Jiang Zhixia didn't want to be too arrogant, so she originally planned to simply prepare a half-carry dowry and just carry thirty-two.

However, Chu Tiankuo disagreed and wanted to give her a dowry.

In desperation, Jiang Zhixia had to settle the dowry, with a total of 64. However, Chu Tiankuo was not allowed to intervene again.

I had already prepared almost the same thing, but later I had the dowry given by the eldest princess and the furniture sent by Chu Tiankuo, which was actually full of sixty-four.

The first three lifts are jewelry and silk cloth dowry sent by the eldest princess, which shows respect for the eldest princess.

What followed was prepared by Jiang Zhixia himself.

The fourth one was the family of Uncle He, wearing brand new blue satin cloth clothes, the father and daughter of Xing Zhuangtou, and the five newly bought servants.

The vast four men and six women, ten people, were the ones who were dowrying, and it was considered a one-handed servant.

As soon as this kind of servant came out, the neighbors watching were boiling around the alley.

"I heard that Princess Chengping gave three dowry."

"It's the first three lifts. The sign says the reward from Princess Chengping. I heard that the phoenix crown and robe that Miss Jiang wants to wear when she gets married are all made in the palace."

"Not only that, I heard that Quanfuren who combs his hair is the eldest lady of the Great Princess's Mansion. He is a famous Quanfuren with a noble status."

"Miss Jiang actually has so many dowry servants? They are all wearing silk clothes."

"I always thought that only Uncle He's family and the new girl."

"Not to mention anything else, just raising so many servants, this Miss Jiang is also amazing."

Everyone was whispering in envy.

As the conversation was made, the dowry was lifted out of the gate of Jiang Zhixia's family. Someone began to count the dowry carefully.

What kind of knots, various furniture of red sandalwood, jewelry, silk and satin, fur clothes and cloaks, pots and pans.

"Look at the furniture, it's all of them are of high-quality red sandalwood." Some people said sourly.

"Look at the lift, the sedan chair bearer's shoulder pole has been bent, it seems that there are really a lot."

"Oh, look at the dowry. That's..."

Someone saw the adobe wrapped in red paper and screamed in surprise.

So everyone looked at it and counted it one by one.

"Oh, that's ten adobe. A piece of adobe is one hundred acres of land. These ten adobe are one thousand acres of land..."

"This Miss Jiang's dowry is really generous."

When everyone saw the dowry land, they all started to talk.

Nowadays, only with land is the fundamental one. Not to mention so much land.

"It's coming again, it's coming again, this is..."

Someone shouted in surprise, and then everyone counted carefully.

"Hey, I always see the great official family doing such a big deal. I'm here in our own alley."

"That's... four-lift tiles. There is also an additional one with a built-in, which is a shop. The tiles of this shop are twelve pieces, which is a big shop. This six-lift house is probably this house. There are two more."

"I counted the two, one was twenty-four, and the other one was twenty-four. I don't know how many rooms it was. It must be a huge yard."

Among the dowry nowadays, land and houses are extremely valuable dowry. Therefore, no wonder everyone is envious.

"I don't know how much money is?"

"Look at such a big deal, I guess it's indispensable, right?"

While everyone was looking at the raised dowry, they couldn't help but talk hotly.

The sedan chairman who was carrying the box of money, carrying the light box, couldn't help but guess how many silver notes were in the makeup box inside.

Chu Mufeng, who was following the box of money, looked proud.

"Son, if you married Miss Jiang, these would be yours."

Aunt Li, who was standing in front of the door to watch the fun, couldn't help it anymore, and she didn't care about her daughter-in-law standing next to her, and said secretly to Wei Zhuxian.

"I don't want to see if they can look down on your family?"

Wei Zhuxian's wife is almost a strife with Aunt Li now. When she heard this, she said mockingly.

She could understand that this husband was a man who only followed his mother's fate. However, he always had to use many great principles to restrain her. If it weren't for the pregnancy and the child was reluctant to part with her, she would have been divorced long ago.

Anyway, she had a generous dowry and there was no problem supporting herself and her children, so she broke up.

Wei Zhuxian's face was gloomy and he looked at him without saying a word.

Jiang Zhixia's dowry was sent to Chu Tiankuo's home. Chu Tiankuo took the dowry list and tried his dowry with the intention.

According to the rules, the woman's family wanted to keep someone close to her, and she would save money when she looked at her dowry, especially the money box.

You should know that the things in the box where money is the most important thing. Those dowry, silver deeds, house deeds, land deeds, bonus documents, and servant's body deeds are all contained in the box where money is the box.

However, Jiang Zhixia believed in Chu Tiankuo very much, so he only left the dowry and withdrew all the dowry.

In addition to putting down the silver notes and various deeds in his own box, Chu Tiankuo put them up alone.

The other dowry was arranged to be guarded by the confidant, and then the dowry lid was opened and allowed to be watched by others.

It is for the dowry.

After finishing his work, Chu Tiankuo took the matchmaker with the dowry list and went to the matchmaker in the official office to keep the rest and get the wedding letter.

The wedding letter and dowry list are all in triplicate, one in Chu Tiankuo's hands, one in Jiang Zhixia's hands, and the other in the official office.

Only with the blessing of the government can women's interests be better protected.

After returning, Chu Tiankuo first put away his wedding book. He looked at Jiang Zhixia's wedding book, hesitated for a while, and then put it in Jiang Zhixia's box of money. After Jiang Zhixia passed by, he handed it over to her.

In this way, everything is ready, just waiting for the bride to welcome you.
