Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

With great difficulty, Lin Xuan successfully passed Li Hong's pass and entered the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion relying on the brainstorming of his friends. Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Speaking of this matter, Lin Xuan really complained endlessly in his heart. You said that everyone is so familiar, is it necessary to make things difficult for yourself? If he really can't answer, you are not afraid that your sister will not get married ah.

But since he passed the customs, he didn't have to think so much. Li Hong led the way to Lin Xuan and went straight to the main hall. Putting makeup on to welcome the bride, these are all talking points, which are indispensable.

When a woman in ancient times gets married, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, otherwise it will be unlucky, so generally speaking, the elder brother carries her out of the house. .

Li Hong carried the bride into the sedan chair according to the rules, looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes were dark, but his expression was extremely serious: "Lin Xuan, I handed over my sister to you, you must treat her well in the future."

Seeing Li Hong's rarely serious expression in front of him, Lin Xuan fell silent for a moment, then nodded seriously, as an acknowledgment to him.

Just because Lin Xuan and the others took the bride away, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to do in the Qin Palace today. They will still hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the princes and princes who came to congratulate.

Lin Xuan was sitting on the horse, followed by a group of friends who accompanied him to welcome his relatives, followed by the bride in a sedan chair carrying sixteen red satin embroidered rich and noble peonies, and those who accompanied him to see off their relatives, carrying blue soft clothes all four. Sedan.

And the long list at the end is Princess Fuya’s dowry, a total of 180 loads, that mighty posture, as the wedding procession moved forward, it slowly blocked most of the street, and there was still a lot behind. The one who didn't come out from Qin Wang's mansion.It can be called ten miles of red makeup, which fully reflects the wealth of the royal family and the dignity of the princess.

Even Lin Xuan, who has always seen the big world, can't help but click his tongue. Those novels in the previous life said that the royal family has no merchants and rich people. They should really come and see, which merchant can marry so many things? .

Needless to say, the ten or twenty hauls of furniture at the beginning, although they were all made of high-quality rosewood and rosewood, were common to every family, so there was nothing unusual about them.

Secondly, the 81-carried quilts, pillows, curtains, clothes for the four seasons, and clothing materials are nothing. Although they are all very precious materials, at least they can be bought.

But the next 48 liters of calligraphy, painting and antiques are amazing. They are not things that can be easily bought with money. People without any background may not be able to see one. No matter what the pieces are, they will be brought up box by box.

If this kind of arrogance is put into modern times, I don’t know how many people will cry and say, let’s be friends with local tyrants, and even Lin Xuan was severely shocked in his heart.If anyone is following him and saying that the prince is poor, he will definitely strangle that person to death with his own hands. If this is the level of poverty, then he would rather die of poverty, okay?

In addition to these books, calligraphy and paintings that are very fond of Lin Xuan and Lin Ruhai, there are also some small and trivial things. There are 48 liters of big red boxes containing some head jewelry, and some rouge and gouache.These are all prepared for the bride, and some are things that the bride has always used.

The last one is the [-]-year-old farm, and there are four real estates and eight industrial shops under the name of the palace. There are also eight dowry maids, four nuns, and more than twenty households accompanying the house.

Lin Xuan still remembered the shock in his heart when he saw the dowry list just now. If any family married their daughters like this, then how many households in this capital would go bankrupt.

Lin Xuan actually didn't know that the dowry prepared by Qin Wangfu for Princess Fuya was not so much, but there were too many uncles and aunts who couldn't stand the princess, and all of them were special. Rich people, and it was popular in the Zhou Dynasty to add make-up. This person added a little bit, plus the reward from the emperor, constituted the dowry specification that shocked everyone now.

In fact, it's not just Princess Fuya who gets married like this, most other princesses also get married like this, and the princess is even more prosperous.If the officials of the Ministry of Rites are here, they can probably calculate that the wedding expenses of these princesses and princesses alone can have almost two years of income from the national treasury. Don't underestimate this figure. It's not a small expense. Of course, there is also a reason for it, that is, the current emperor is really capable of giving birth, so don't have too many princes and princesses.

It has been a long time at this time, and now it is almost dusk, Lin Xuan sat on the horse, silently sighing in his heart that marrying a bride made such a windfall, it is really worth it.

Zhao Cheng next to him also said enviously: "The lives of the two of you are really good. If you marry a wife and get so many dowries, I'm afraid you won't do anything in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lin Xuan smiled and glanced at Zhao Cheng: "What am I? The princess that Huang Chang will marry in a while is the princess, and she is the princess who is most loved by the emperor. Now you can imagine that this time Huang Chang will marry her." Huang's family is really going to get rich."

Huang Chang no longer resisted as much as he did some time ago. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Cheng proudly: "Why, now that I know I'm envious, let me tell you, it's too late. You dared to laugh at me a while ago. Now you Go regret it, hehe."

Lin Xuan looked at Zhao Cheng's remorseful look from the side, and shook his head with a smile, hey, this is really a world that cares about money.

The team marched for a while before finally returning to the Lin Mansion. At this time, the entrance of the Lin Mansion was full of people, and guests from all walks of life were almost here, and the whole scene was very lively.

Given the relationship between the Jia family and the Lin family, it was impossible for Lin Xuan's marriage to be without them. Seeing Lin Xuan and the others coming back, Jia Lian, who was waiting at the door, had his eyes lit up and came up to him.

Seeing him coming, Lin Xuan quickly got off his horse. He still had no distaste for Jia Lian. After getting along with him for a while, sometimes he also thought Jia Lian was very interesting.

Jia Lian's face was full of red, and he looked more like a married person than Lin Xuan, the groom: "Brother Lin, congratulations, you are married to a beautiful girl, and you must have a separate banquet in the future. These people pack a big red envelope."

Lin Xuan smiled and pointed at Jia Lian, shaking his head and laughing: "What's the matter with you, is it because Mrs. Sister-in-law embezzled your money again and came to me to beat the autumn wind?" He waved his hand and said in a big way: "However, don't worry, I am very happy today, and I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Jia Lian laughed: "Okay, brother Lin's words are enough, that's enough, the sedan chair is almost at the door, and you don't want to waste your time as a brother, let's welcome the bride in, what are you waiting for?" .”

As soon as Jia Lian said this, the sedan chair stopped at the door. Lin Xuan picked up the small bow and arrow at the side according to Xi Niang's instructions, and shot it lightly at the bride's sedan chair without using too much force.

Mentioning this custom, Lin Xuan wanted to complain. Although this bow and arrow is relatively small, it is still a bow and arrow. Just shoot it like this. If the kind of archery is not good, the bride will be in danger. .

However, even though he didn't agree very much in his heart, Lin Xuan obediently shot the arrow on the crossbar of the sedan chair. After he finished shooting, the bride slowly got off the sedan chair with the support of Xi Niang.

The auspicious clothes worn by Li Hongxiu and those worn by Lin Xuan were exactly the same. They were all carefully sewn by the embroiderer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were extremely delicate and gorgeous.

Seeing the bride getting off the sedan chair, Lin Xuan walked slowly to the bride, gently pulled the other end of the big red flower in her hand, and surrounded by everyone, he patiently guided the bride into the Lin mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate of Lin Mansion, he saw a red-burning brazier in front of him. In front of the brazier, there was a saddle that was not too low. Lin Xuan knew that this was another custom of ancient marriages, and he was afraid of the bride Unable to see it, Lin Xuan moved a little closer, and reminded Li Hongxiu in a low voice.

In fact, this is Lin Xuan's overthinking. Although the bride is covered with a hijab, she can't see anything, but Xi Niang, who has been supporting her by the bride's side, will not forget these things. What's more, the bride has long been aware of these things. get ready.

But Lin Xuan's words were not useless at all. Li Hongxiu who was on the side heard Lin Xuan's gentle voice and the careful reminder. Although he still didn't know what the people around him were like, he felt like All of a sudden, I became more at ease.

Speaking of this ancient marriage, it is really incomprehensible. Two strangers, who have never met each other, may even sometimes not even know each other's name, so they are so abruptly made up. It's really sad to have a couple.

This kind of marriage, if born as a man, may be better, but if it is born as a woman, it will suffer, even if the husband is not good, there is no talk of divorce, so you can only live a life of grievances. Such a life is truly miserable.
