Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 170 Dowry

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

After finishing lifting the furniture, Chu Mufeng was about to leave.Because Jiang Zhixia didn't even have a male send-off, so Chu Mufeng was assigned to Jiang Zhixia's side as her family's send-off.

Therefore, Chu Mufeng, who has always ridiculed himself as a vulgar person, was caught by the matchmaker to make up for various customs.So it is really a headache and very busy.

Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Mufeng who was in a hurry to leave, and hurriedly took the purse containing the banknotes and said: "Jiang Matchmaker told me some rules of marriage. I should be the one who bought this furniture. Because in the future It needs to be written in my dowry booklet as a dowry. It’s too late, so I used the new furniture made by Big Brother Chu, so you can take the bank note and give it to Big Brother Chu.”

"I'm not going to take it." Chu Mufeng jumped back and said two steps.

"Brother guessed it. He said that you will definitely pay for the furniture, and told me not to accept it. If you accept it, you will break my leg. Don't hurt me."

Chu Mufeng acted like he was terrified.After he finished speaking, he bared and ran away—he still had to try on new clothes.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Zhixia had no choice but to put away her purse, thinking to wait until after getting married.

In the afternoon, Princess Taiping sent some jewelry and cloth, and added three dowry to Jiang Zhixia with great fanfare.

Jiang Zhixia expressed his gratitude and waited for the dowry to be distributed the next day.

On the eighth day of September, it is the day of dowry distribution.

Jiang Zhixia didn't have any female relatives to accompany him to deliver the dowry, so he bothered Mrs. Lin to act as his 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, ready to go out.

Jiang Zhixia didn't want to make too much publicity, so she originally planned to prepare a half-raised dowry, 32 lifts would be fine.

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

In desperation, Jiang Zhixia had no choice but to order all the dowries, a total of 64.But Chu Tiankuo is not allowed to intervene any more.

The preparations were almost done, and later, with the dowry from the eldest princess and the furniture from Chu Tiankuo, it was really full of 64.

The first three lifts are the dowry such as jewelry and silk cloth given by the eldest princess, in order to show respect for the eldest princess.

The latter was prepared by Jiang Zhixia himself.

The fourth one was Uncle He's family in brand new blue satin clothes, the father and daughter of Xingzhuangtou, and the five newly bought servants.

The mighty four men and six women, with ten people leading the way, looked like servants who were dowry, so it was counted as a lift.

As soon as the servant of this color came out, the neighbors in the alley gathered around and watched, and there was excitement.

"I heard that Princess Taiping rewarded three dowries."

"It's the first three. The sign said it was a reward from Princess Taiping. I heard that the phoenix coronet and Xiapei that Miss Jiang will wear when she gets married are all made by the palace."

"Not only that, I heard that the Quanfu who combed his hair is the eldest wife of the eldest princess's mansion. He is a famous and valuable Quanfu."

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

"I always thought it was just Uncle He's family and the new girl."

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

Everyone whispered enviously.

Amidst the discussion, the dowry was lifted out of the gate of Jiang Zhixia's house.Someone began to count the dowry carefully.

What descendant barrels, what rosewood furniture, what jewelry, silk and satin, what fur coats and cloaks, what pots and pans.

"Look at that furniture, it's all made of high-quality rosewood." Some people said sourly.

"Look at that, the shoulder pole of the bearer is bent, it seems that there are quite a lot."

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

Someone saw the adobe wrapped in red paper and cried out in surprise.

So, everyone cast their eyes over and counted one by one.

"Oh, those are ten adobes. One adobe is a hundred acres of land, and these ten adobes are a thousand acres of land..."

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

When everyone saw the dowry land, they started talking.

Nowadays, having land is the foundation.Not to mention so much land.

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

Someone yelled in surprise, and then everyone counted carefully.

"Hey, I usually see such a big family of big officials. Today I saw it in our own alley."

"That's... four tiles. There is another one with a roof, that's a shop. The shop has twelve tiles, so it's a big shop. The house with six tiles is probably the This house is gone. There are still two lifts left."

"I counted those two. One is 24 square meters, and the other is more than 24 square meters. I don't know how many rooms it is. It must be a huge house."

In today's dowry, fields and houses are considered extremely valuable dowry.So it's no wonder that everyone is envious.

"I don't know how much money is in the box?"

"Looking at such a big deal, it's probably inevitable, right?"

While looking at the raised dowry, everyone couldn't help discussing it.

The bearer carrying the money in the box, carrying the light box, couldn't help guessing how many banknotes were in the makeup box inside.

Chu Mufeng, who followed to look at the box money, had a look of pride on his face.

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

Aunt Li, who was standing in front of the door watching the excitement, couldn't bear it anymore, and she didn't care about her daughter-in-law who was standing beside her, and said to Wei Zhuxian secretly.

"I don't even want to see if people can see your family?"

Wei Zhuxian's wife is almost torn apart from Aunt Li now.When she heard this, she said mockingly.

She can be regarded as understanding that this husband is a person who only obeys his mother's orders.However, there are always many great principles to restrain her.If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant and was reluctant to have a child, she would have divorced long ago.

Anyway, she has a generous dowry, and she has no problem supporting herself and her children, so she is tearing her face apart.

Wei Zhuxian's face was gloomy, and he watched without saying a word.

Jiang Zhixia's dowry was delivered to Chu Tiankuo's home.Chu Tiankuo took the dowry list and inspected the dowry meaningfully.

Originally, according to the rules, a close person should be left in the woman's family to watch the dowry, especially the money box, so as not to lose it.

You know, the things in the money box are the most important things.Those dowry notes, those house deeds, land deeds.Those bonus documents, as well as the personal deeds of the servants and other important documents and materials are all packed in the money box.

However, Jiang Zhixia believed in Chu Tiankuo very much, so he only kept the dowry, and all the dowry staff were withdrawn.

Chu Tiankuo put away the banknotes and various deeds in the press box by himself.

For the other dowries, confidantes were arranged to guard them, and then the lid of the dowry was opened for everyone to watch.

It's for the dowry.

After the work was done, Chu Tiankuo took the matchmaker with the dowry list, went to the matchmaker at the government office to leave the dowry, and received the marriage certificate.

The marriage certificate and the dowry list are in triplicate, one in Chu Tiankuo's hands, one in Jiang Zhixia's hands, and one in the official office.

With the blessing of the government, the interests of women can be better protected.

After returning, Chu Tiankuo first put away his marriage certificate.He looked at Jiang Zhixia's marriage letter, hesitated for a while, and put it in Jiang Zhixia's money box.Wait until Jiang Zhixia passes the door, and then hand it over to her.

In this way, everything is ready, just waiting for the personal welcome.
