————————————————————

After all, Jia Baoyu failed to wait for his parents Jia Zheng and Mrs. Xing. The old lady Jia made the decision. Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing took care of it. In the same year, he married Miaoyu as his wife from Xue's mansion.

On the first day of May, Miaoyu was stunned when she saw Daiyu's altered wedding dress.The original two-inch-wide gold thread embroidered wishful auspicious cloud patterns on the sleeves have been replaced by half-foot-wide red gold brocade ruffles with rubies and flowers.The red gold brocade is dotted with tiny rubies in a rhombus shape.

The original red gold Guanyin buckle filled with mutton fat and white jade has also been replaced with a fist-sized red gold plate with hundreds of precious peony buckles.Dazzling, luxurious and charming.

The Yunjin horse-face skirt, which was originally much shorter, not only added a pleated wide edge like a sleeve, but also unfolded the original pleats on the skirt and changed it into a fishtail, embroidered with gold silk thread. Rhombus pattern, small red gold stalks at the intersection, inlaid with finger-sized rubies, like fish scales.I can't imagine how dazzling it will be in the sun.

The junction of the pleated skirt and the mermaid skirt is still the same as the sleeves, where rubies are scattered, and fine rubies are embellished in the shape of a rhombus.

Daiyu also added a floor-length gown for her, with bright red clouds and mists, and golden silk outlining the lotus flowers on the stalks, but it was half an arm. The body is displayed faintly, and in this bright red color, it adds two points of elegance and three points of dust.

Look at that Xipa is also the same color with red background woven with gold, ruby ​​​​and emerald are spliced ​​to form a clump of parallel stalks.Thinking of Daiyu's words that day, Miaoyu couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "You don't take advantage of anything! Don't you want me to add makeup to you, sister?" Daiyu tilted her head and pursed her lips with a smile: "You put makeup on me. Yes, didn't I take it?"

Daiyu didn't go on the day Miaoyu got married, and she didn't even go the next day when she recognized her relatives. She only went to Xue's mansion when she returned home on the Dragon Boat Festival. The smoke dissipated, and she understood what Daiyu meant to be part of her natal family.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Prince Wu returned to the capital, and at the same time brought back the good news that his concubine was happy.Hong Jin, the eldest son of Prince Wu County, has been married for many years, but has nothing to do. This has almost become a heart disease for Princess Wu County. At this time, he was surprised and delighted to hear that the prince's concubine is happy.

If Mo Xuan and Daiyu's wedding date was not approaching, they would have packed up their boxes immediately, set off to return to the fief, and personally looked after the concubine Shizi, waiting for the grandson to be born.

King Wujun returned to Beijing, and Daiyu's marriage was put on the agenda in full swing.Daiyu moved back to Yongding Hou Mansion, and the stewards from all over the place returned to the capital to liquidate Daiyu's family property.

It's not like I don't know, now that such a detailed calculation, even Daiyu herself was shocked. Daiyu decisively divided the property in her hands into two halves, one half was taken away as her dowry, and the other half was taken away. Stayed in Yongding Hou Mansion.

But even so, Daiyu's dowry has two hills, sixteen farms, large and small, a dozen shops, and twenty houses.Not to mention the ancient books and paintings in the two Sankai Datong rooms, the royal family, Wangfu, Huang Jiyun and others added makeup to Daiyu.

Luo Sujuan, who came to help Daiyu manage the marriage, looked very headache. After all, the dowry is the opposite of the betrothal gift, even if she is married to a princess, no one can come up with such a dowry.According to this posture, I really don't know what Mo Xuan will offer as a dowry gift.

Princess Wujun rushed over from Tonghua Lane when she heard about it, she was dumbfounded when she saw the dowry list in front of her, and said with a smile: "This is really red makeup! Our place is not far from Tonghua Lane. If you really want to enter over there, you can’t go out here.”

Knowing the worries of Princess Wujun and Luo Sujuan, Daiyu said with a smile: "I live my own life, and others can say what they like. I thought about those fabrics, leather, etc., so I didn't bring them with me, and I didn't take them with me." It is counted in the dowry list, and as for the antique ornaments, except for the make-up from the Holy Majesty and the master, they are also kept."

After all, apart from Daiyu, there is really no one in the Yongding Hou's mansion who can be in charge. Princess Wujun and Luo Sujuan agreed to it after discussing it, but Lin Zhong and Lin Yi were not happy and did not look for it. King Wu Jun found Jia Lian instead and said, "Uncle Lian also knows that these things, apart from what was handed down from the ancestors, are all earned by the girl herself..."

Jia Lian also hesitated when he heard this, and thought about Mo Xuan's Cheng En Bo's house, which probably doesn't care too much, even Wujun Wang's house can't spend all his family's money for his nephew, so he went to find Mo Xuan himself Discuss the matter.

After listening to Daiyu's dowry, Mo Xuan smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect to marry a Goddess of Wealth." Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and both parties had no parents alive, the three books and six ceremonies were left alone. As a cutscene, the matchmaker never really discussed the dowry and bride price.

After all, Mo Xuan opened the mansion on his own, and Daiyu... the world thinks that she does not have any dowry, even the emperor and queen, afraid that Daiyu would look too ugly, so the House of Internal Affairs prepared it according to the princess Specifications.Now it's a big joke.Mo Xuan couldn't help being a little anxious, and he didn't want to neglect Daiyu on the dowry.

Seeing this, Jia Lian shook her head, punched Mo Xuan hard and said, "Remember to be nice to my sister, you boy! I'll give you an idea about this matter." After saying that, Jia Lian shook his hands and left, Mo Xuan Rubbing his aching shoulder, he only smiled wryly.

Jia Lian didn't shy away from it, and went directly to Yongding Hou's mansion. The siblings hadn't sat down to drink tea and chat together for many days. Daiyu was really happy to learn that Jia Lian had arrived, and hurried to the study in the outer courtyard.

The open doors and windows were still letting in the sunlight, so Daiyu walked in against the light.

A bright blue flower-floor skirt, a bright blue round-neck tunic with moon-white piping, and a white jade hairpin holding her head full of blue silk. On her earlobes are two pearl earrings the size of lotus rice, which are refreshing but elegant.

Looking at Daiyu like this, Jia Lian couldn't help but blushed and murmured softly: "If uncle is here, seeing how beautiful my sister has grown, I'm afraid I won't be willing to marry you."

Daiyu's footsteps also subconsciously stopped, and it took a while to gather her mood, and said with a smile: "Could it be possible that Daddy can still keep me at home forever?"

After Daiyu joked like this, the faint sadness in Jia Lian's heart dissipated a lot, and she smiled and learned about Lin Zhong and Lin Yi's going to him. After listening carefully, Daiyu asked: "Brother, what is there Idea?" After asking, he thought for a while, dismissed the waiters around him, and sat down with Jia Lian in front of the tea table.

Daiyu hadn't made tea with Jia Lian for a long time, and now while making tea, she told Jia Lian about asking Wanyu to meet Mo Xuan that day.

Just halfway through listening, Jia Lian said angrily: "How can my sister act so absurdly?" Reason, but I actually...

Thinking of this, Jia Lian lowered her head in despair, held the small white porcelain cup tightly in her hand, and said softly after a long while, "If that Mo Xuan bullies you, sister must tell me." After saying that, Jia Lian's tears stopped It kept falling down.

Seeing this, Daiyu angrily said, "Brother is too! After all, listen to me." Jia Lian was taken aback, took a deep breath, and then nodded and smiled, "Okay, brother, listen to you."

Daiyu blushed and taught Jia Lian what she said to Mo Xuan. Jia Lian didn't consider whether it was appropriate or not as before, but stood up excitedly and walked around the room several times, still not satisfied. Dare to ask confidently: "Your sister's words are serious?"

Seeing Daiyu nodding, Jia Lian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise! You have chosen a good husband for my sister!"

After several discussions, Daiyu did not put bricks, tiles and adobes in the mountains, farms, shops, houses, etc. like other homes, but only brought the account books in boxes and cages, and those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings were not included in the dowry. For Daiyu's hundred years in the future, it can only be shared equally by Daiyu's children.

In this way, Daiyu's dowry is only left with antique ornaments, jewelry, head and face, etc., but just like this, it is also full of 120 liters. This is because the princess's dowry is 120 levies, and it is not easy for Daiyu to pass it. go.

After Mo Xuan learned about it, he was not as grateful as Jia Lian imagined, and he didn't even show much expression. He just chatted and laughed: "Just do as she said." After he paused, he continued: "Just ask me As a witness, brother, my children will be eligible to share those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in the future."

After Mo Xuan finished speaking, Jia Lian was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "Remember what you said today!" But Mo Xuan didn't say any more, just nodded and left first.

Jia Lian didn't know, what Mo Xuan felt most proud of at this time was that every time he met Jia Lian, Jia Lian would go first, and this time he finally took the first step, leaving Jia Lian with his back... If Jia Lian knew what Mo Xuan was thinking , I don't know what you think?
