Rebirth of the Alchemy Emperor: The Road to the Nine Heavens Supreme

And they guessed that many people with high status and status would come to visit them in the future, so naturally the wedding palace should not be too small or too shabby.

And just for getting married, I guess there will be many people coming to congratulate, attend, and give gifts.

Naturally, a mansion should also have a place for guests to sit, drink tea, rest, and play.

Just building a wedding house is a big project, plus the production and preparation of various furniture and items.

In addition, the entire Dongchuan County Government must be renovated:

Repair the roads, clean the gutters, repair all the low and dilapidated houses, and repaint the appearance of all the houses in the county.

There are also betrothal gifts for the Xia family and the Liu family, which naturally need to be prepared in advance.

The Xia family and Liu family are also very busy:

Such an outstanding daughter who has made such a huge contribution to the family is going to get married, so she naturally needs to prepare a sufficient dowry.

Some dowries are very complicated to make and take a long time to make.

Naturally, the two families hired people to work on it day and night so as not to miss the best time.

Xia Rui was particularly concerned about the marriage of his imperial sister Xia Ziyan. He personally reviewed the type and quantity of the dowry, and he personally reviewed every dowry.

The wedding day was set for the sixth day of October. On the sixth day of September, Xia Rui ordered all the dowries made and prepared for Xia Ziyan to be placed on the streets of the imperial city, and then posted a yellow list to invite people from the capital to come. Watch, whoever can point out the shortcomings, inappropriateness, and lack of this dowry will be rewarded generously by the emperor as long as he can point it out.

Originally, Xia Ziyan's marriage was the most important event that caused a sensation in the entire Great Xia Kingdom. Now that the emperor posted the yellow list, almost all the nobles, officials, and people in the imperial city came to watch.

But where are the shortcomings of this dowry?

His Majesty the Emperor invited the most famous and skilled craftsmen in the entire Daxia Kingdom to make every piece of the dowry flawlessly. All the furniture and supplies needed for the wedding and future life were all thought out and made.

Just when everyone thought that the dowry had no shortcomings and was not lacking in anything, an old beggar with neatly combed hair and shabby clothes had all the holes patched up and washed very clean. Madam, I came to the place where the imperial list was posted and reached out to lift the yellow list.

Several soldiers guarding the imperial list quickly invited the beggar old lady to sit down and drink tea, and at the same time reported the old lady's revelation of the imperial list to the general who led the team.

The general came in person and took the old lady to see Xia Rui.

Xia Rui was surprised when he heard about this. He thought that everything in the dowry he prepared for Xia Ziyan was perfect and there was no shortage of anything.

How could a beggar old lady see the shortcomings or lack of something in the dowry he prepared?

The old lady was brought to Xia Rui. After she paid her respects, Xia Rui was a little surprised:

The old lady saluted and paid her respects to him. The etiquette was very standard and she paid her respects well.

She is just a poor old lady begging on the street. How can she know etiquette so well?

Xia Rui asked the old lady, what are the shortcomings of the dowry he prepared? What is missing?

The old lady said calmly and gracefully:

"I have looked at all of this trousseau. Although every piece is perfect, there is still one missing piece."

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

Xia Rui and the people around him were shocked when they heard this:

The dowry prepared by Xia Rui was made by many people who were very familiar with wedding dowry. They checked it many times and felt that it was quite a lot. Why did this old lady say that one piece was missing?

Xia Rui asked the old lady, what is missing?

The old lady told Xia Rui that there was a pair of Ruyi missing here.

this, this, this...

Xia Rui and the surrounding ministers and dowry craftsmen were all stunned when they heard this:

This dowry really lacks a pair of Ruyi!

Although Lu Xuan, Xia Ziyan, and Liu Yawen are all very high in cultivation now, there is no need for Ruyi at all.

Moreover, for a newly married couple, if someone is itching somewhere, just say something, and the other person will naturally scratch it just right. Where can I use Ruyi?

Who would have thought of putting a pair of Ruyi in the trousseau?

But a dowry is a dowry. It is about etiquette, a kind of attention to the married daughter, and a display of one's family background and strength. It does not mean that they will not prepare it if they cannot use it.

After listening to the old lady's words, Xia Rui immediately ordered the craftsmen to make a pair of Ruyi.

Then Xia Rui asked the old lady curiously. Seeing that she was so familiar with the etiquette of meeting him and dowry, she should be from a very wealthy family. How could she become a beggar?

When the old lady heard Xia Rui's question, she told Xia Rui sadly that her family used to be a very wealthy family. When she got married, her father also prepared a very complete dowry for her. Even her careful father even gave her Ruyi. She is ready.

It's a pity that he didn't marry a good man. His husband was engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. In just a few years, he lost all his family property and owed a lot of money.

He even pawned and sold all her dowry.

The family was so poor that they had no money for food, so she had to work.

Originally, when her father was still alive, he could often help her and prevent her from freezing and starving. However, after her father passed away, her brother took charge of the family. He also engaged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and the family property was ruined.

Now her brothers, husband, and family members are all dead, leaving her alone. She is too old and frail to do any work, so she has to beg on the streets.

Xia Rui sighed after hearing this, and rewarded the old lady with a small courtyard and enough money to live on for many years to ensure that she lived a worry-free life.

Then Xia Rui issued an imperial edict:

No one is allowed to lose his or her family wealth by eating, drinking, prostitution, or gambling. Otherwise, not only the person who loses his family property will be punished, but the casinos and brothels that caused him to lose his family property will also be punished.

After this order, the entire Daxia Kingdom cheered.

After the dowry was displayed, Xia Rui ordered people to start delivering it to the Lu family in Dongchuan County.

A dowry that has been laid out for dozens or hundreds of miles cannot be given away in a matter of seconds.

Between the Imperial City and Dongchuan County, Lu Xuan and Liu Yawen only built two teleportation arrays, so naturally they would not be able to send them all at once.

Furthermore, according to the customs and habits of the mortal world, when wealthy families marry their daughters, they often start giving dowries ten and a half days in advance. This is naturally to show that the family is rich and powerful.

At the same time, it also shows the in-laws the strength of their family and the importance they attach to their daughters, so as to prevent their daughters from being looked down upon, looked down upon, and bullied after they marry.

Just for a wealthy family, the dowry must be given ten and a half days in advance. Xia Rui is the emperor, and he is marrying an imperial sister with extraordinary ability and strength, so naturally the dowry must be given a month in advance.

The Liu family sent the dowry three days later than the Xia family. The reason for the delay was that Liu Yawen deliberately made it late. In order to show her respect for Xia Ziyan, Emperor Xia Rui, and Supreme Emperor Xia Haoye, she also showed that she was willing to accept the dowry in this marriage. Be humble and humble.
