But who is more suitable? The fifth? No! The ninth? Hmm, to be determined! The tenth, his status is suitable, OK! The twelfth, barely one! The thirteenth, also OK!

As for the fourth brother? The fourth brother...

After pondering for an unknown period of time, Kangxi raised his eyebrows and called Li Dequan loudly, "Honghui will be getting married in a few days, right?"

"Replying to His Majesty, the twentieth of September is a good day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made preparations."

"Send a pair of jade mandarin ducks back to the capital as a token of my gratitude. There must be no mistake!"

……

After the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, time flies by and in a blink of an eye it is September 19th.

The capital city was quite bustling that day, for no other reason than the ten miles of red wedding ceremonies, which was truly enviable to look at.

Maids and boys dressed in festive clothes either carried or held the dowry as they passed by, blinding countless passers-by!

"Oh, whose family is marrying off their daughter? There are so many dowries, it looks like there are at least a hundred loads of them?" The man who was speaking was carrying an exquisite bird cage, and his clothes looked about 90% new. He was obviously a man from the Eight Banners.

The person who answered did not dare to offend others too much: "You don't know this? Sir, you have been hanging around these streets for so long, can't you see that this is marrying into the royal family?"

"Then I really don't know! Didn't they say that the Eighteenth Master got married half a year ago? I heard that the gentlemen below are not yet of age!"

Then someone started to explain: "This is the emperor's grandson getting married, the Fucha family is marrying off their daughter, that gentleman is the eldest prince of the Yong Prince's Mansion, he is very proud in front of His Majesty."

After hearing this, the man who asked the question immediately realized: "Oh, it turns out to be that gentleman. I was so confused that I even forgot the auspicious day for that gentleman to get married! But speaking of it, that gentleman is usually too low-key. We have only heard of his reputation but have rarely seen him. I heard that he is really good-looking, but I don't know if it is true or not?"

Some people echoed, while others boasted, "I have seen him. Last time, the prince rode by on horseback, and I happened to see him. Oh, to say that he was as handsome as a dragon and a phoenix is ​​not an exaggeration. Forgive my poor words, I can't even describe even a little bit of his elegance!"

"Really? Then we'll have to go out and see what's going on tomorrow..."

The passers-by were talking nonsense, and just then the last load of dowry passed by, and then someone shouted, "Wow, a full 120 loads of dowry, and it's full. Master Beizi is so blessed!"

"What? One hundred and twenty? My goodness, this is almost as many as the prince's wife, right? Quick, let's go to Prince Yong's mansion to see what's going on..."

Before he could finish his words, a bunch of people swarmed over and headed towards Taibao Street.

At this time, the leading dowry was not far from Prince Yong's mansion. The boy walked with great difficulty and arrived at the destination in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Afterwards, loads of dowry were carried one after another into a courtyard in the northeast corner of Prince Yong's Mansion. A total of 120 loads of dowry were piled up in the courtyard, making the huge courtyard look extremely cramped.

According to Manchu custom, the next thing to do was to display the dowry. The dowries were opened one by one, and exclamations and discussions followed.

"Wow, I am really enlightened. As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, her dowry is generous!"

"You are wrong. Not every Manchu and Mongolian noblewoman has such a large dowry. I heard that the dowry of the one who married into the mansion was only 100 pieces. The tiles and silver in the dowry were not generous. This woman wanted to fill up the box."

"You're risking your life! How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?" The former concubine said that she died of illness, but in fact something bad happened. Who in the mansion didn't know that?

"Oh, bah, bah! My mouth just can't stay still. Thanks for reminding me."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, just look at the dowry."...

The servants walked around the yard, but Yixiu didn't pay much attention to them. She just smiled with her teeth showing, and she was unprecedentedly satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

People at that time attached great importance to dowry. This pile of dowry filled to the brim represented the importance that the Fucha Mansion attached to the Fucha family, and also represented the importance that the Fucha Mansion attached to Prince Yong's Mansion and Honghui.

After the dowry was dried in the sun, what needed to be carried into the house was carried in and what needed to be arranged was arranged. In less than an hour, the bridal chamber looked brand new.

When everything was done, the people from Fucha Mansion left one after another, and the servants who came to watch the fun also dispersed, leaving only the servants from Fuyun Courtyard.

Yixiu had already rushed back to the main courtyard to arrange all matters for tomorrow. As for Honghui, who watched the whole process, he seemed like an outsider. It was because men didn't need to do anything to get married nowadays!

Is it just that he is going to get married so soon? Thinking of the near-death experience when he was three years old, Honghui felt as if he was in a dream.

"Brother, my future sister-in-law's dowry is so generous. I wonder how much dowry my future wife can bring?" He definitely cannot compare with his eldest brother, but he can be compared with his third brother.

Hong Han's words immediately woke Hong Hui up: "Be good! As a man, how can you be so obsessed with your wife's dowry? If you need money, I'll give it to you. Why are you acting so weird?"

Since he was a child, Honghui has never been short of money. Now the amount of silver in his account has exceeded 300,000 taels, and silver is continuously being remitted in. He doesn't care much about money!

Honghan was different. His warehouse was mostly filled with physical objects, with very little cash, and he was financially strapped, so he had long been envious of his elder brother.

"Big brother's money was earned by him with his own ability, but I have not done anything. I don't have the face to squander it! But, how about...how about you give me a red envelope during the Chinese New Year..."

Honghui smiled teasingly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but I can't just give you one. Hongshi, Hongzhou, Hongyan, and all the sisters, you all have one. I won't leave you any less!"

"Big brother is so nice!" "Great!" "Thank you, big brother."...

Everyone cheered and rejoiced at once, because the red envelopes given by the eldest brother every year were at least a hundred taels, and there would be more in the future.

As the emperor's grandson and granddaughter who only receive two taels of silver a month, they really can't bear to part with such a huge sum of money!

Well, we must take the opportunity to please our future sister-in-law tomorrow, the girls present thought.

As for the other brothers, they just kept following their eldest brother and didn't notice the thoughtful looks of their sisters at all.

At this time, Yinzhen came over and asked, "Why are you pestering your eldest brother? What are you talking about, one by one?"

The scene suddenly became silent. Except for Honghui and Honghan, everyone else bowed to Ama in silence. Their expressions and behaviors could not be more reserved.

Honghui smiled helplessly: "We are just joking, nothing serious."

As for Hong Han, he bowed to his father in a flattering manner. His eyes, which used to be bright and shining, now had a hint of guilt, as if to say, "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been naughty and made the master angry!"
