Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 407 The Dowry
Royal weddings are inherently accompanied by various etiquette and rules. This is also a treasure of Chinese heritage.
Just like a prince's wedding, the groom must follow royal etiquette when entering the palace to welcome his bride. After a few hours, Zhou Daowu was exhausted.
There will be a banquet in the palace at noon, and all high-ranking ministers must attend. Although there is no compulsion, who dares not to come.
Not to mention offending Li Shimin, even Li Shen and the others couldn't bear it. If they offended Li Shimin, it would be easier. After all, Li Shimin was a wise king. It didn't matter whether it was for reputation or for being wise.
But Li Shen was different. No one knew that King Ji would avenge his enemies, and he was also cunning and cunning. He never clashed head-on with his enemies.
If he takes revenge, he may suffer a big loss at some point.
The result of the woman's toughness is that Zhou Daowu is like a transparent person at the banquet. He was originally the protagonist, but now he is just a spectator.
After seeing him, everyone just said congratulations or words of praise and that was it.
Whether it was true or not, Li Shimin seemed very happy today. He kept drinking with the ministers and asked Zhou Daowu to treat his daughter well.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the sky gradually darkened. In the Tang Dynasty, weddings only started at dusk.
In order to save face, these ministers had to go to Zhou's house for another meal and send congratulatory gifts.
When parting, Li Mengjiang staged a bitter love drama with Concubine Wei and Li Shimin. Li Shimin even gave Li Mengjiang a waist card and asked her to come back to visit Concubine Wei from time to time.
The scene was very sad.
Li Shen stood aside and thought for a long time, wondering whether he should cry a little in order to appear more gregarious on this occasion.
After saying goodbye to Concubine Wei, Li Mengjiang came to Li Shen again, fell on Li Shen's shoulder and started crying again,
"Sister, this dress of mine is very expensive." Li Shen said helplessly.
This sentence immediately made the originally warm and sad atmosphere disappear, and everyone was speechless. This King Ji is really,
Aren't you sad when your sister gets married?
Li Mengjiang immediately stood up straight, looked at Li Shen's smiling face, reached out and touched Li Shen's head.
Although Li Shen is taller than her now, she has been used to it since childhood.
"Shen'er, you must often go to the palace to accompany your mother and concubine, and take good care of your mother and concubine."
After hearing this, Concubine Wei began to cry again.
Li Shen stared at Li Mengjiang with his big eyes, and then at Concubine Wei, feeling helpless.
"Don't be sad, concubine. Today is a big day, so we all need to be happy. Besides, my sister is not marrying far away. Her princess palace is in Renchongfang, which is closer than my palace. She doesn't have to come to the palace to eat every day. If you can’t catch up, there’s nothing to cry about.”
This is where Li Shen is helpless. If Li Mengjiang marries a relative far away, then it’s okay to cry. The princess mansion that Li Shimin gave to Li Mengjiang is in Renchongfang. The first square you turn left after leaving the imperial city is,
It's much closer than Li Shen's Qinrenfang. You can go home and have three meals a day. When Li Shen finishes building the princess mansion,
Li Mengjiang and Li Shen were separated by a wall, and Li Shen could open a door in the middle.
Li Shen's words stunned Concubine Wei for a moment. When she thought about it, Li Shimin also realized that this daughter was married closer than Changle.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, sister, let's talk about it when we return to the palace tomorrow." After Li Shen finished speaking, he looked at the sky and took out a flare from his pocket.
Come to the lantern and light it, "Chirp, chirp, chirp~~~~~bang~~~~"
Only Li Shen dared to set off flares in the palace. Li Shimin knew that his son was informing outside the palace of the arrangements.
When Zhou Daowu and Li Mengjiang walked out of the palace gate, Zhuque Street was already brightly lit, with all the glazed lanterns on both sides of the road turned on, and large red lanterns hanging along the street.
The scourges in Chang'an City were already ready. After Li Mengjiang got on the chariot, the team began to march towards the Zhou Mansion.
There were people watching the excitement on both sides. Generally, there would be no curfew when the royal family had happy events, but the entire road from the palace gate to the Zhou Mansion was as bright as day.
There are still a few maids in the front holding baskets and scattering flower petals, and the misfortunes are still responsible for scattering money behind them. This is their favorite thing to do.
It’s not your own money anyway, just throw it away handful by handful, which is great fun.
Li Shen had prepared a hundred carts of copper coins. The royal team to send off the bride was much larger than the team to welcome the bride.
The symbolic dowry only consisted of twenty boxes, containing some silk and silk. Li Mengjiang planned to keep these in the Zhou Mansion as a way of honoring his mother-in-law.
In addition to Li Shen, even Li Tai and Li Zhi followed, as well as seven or eight princesses who had not left the palace.
The team walked for two quarters of an hour before arriving at Zhou Mansion. Li Mengjiang got off the car and walked through the middle door. After entering, there was another round of red tape.
This time, the leader of the group was still Li Xiaogong from the clan, and the ceremony went very smoothly, with no Wang Gui incident.
In other words, none of the princesses who got married since that time had similar incidents, and they were all frightened by Li Shen.
This little royal prince is too cruel. If you break the rules, he will touch your whole family. Who can bear it?
Wang Gui was almost hanged by this young prince that time. ,
This time the Zhou family was even more afraid. This was King Ji's biological sister, and she could kill Zhou Daowu at worst.
At the banquet, Li Shen took the gift list from Shitou and took everything to the princess's house, because Li Mengjiang's dowry was too much.
Li Shen had gone beyond the rules of etiquette, so in order not to offend, Li Shen took the dowry as a gift and wrote it down as a gift list.
In this way, my brother didn't have anything to say about how many gifts he gave to others, unlike when Li Lizhi and Wei Zheng, an old man, came out to stop him.
"This is the dowry I have prepared for my sister. Please take a look at it." Zhou Daowu's father died early, and this time his uncle Zhou Shaoji accompanied him.
Zhou Shaoji took the gift list without reading it, but gave it to the singer to sing. Firstly, it was a rule, and secondly, he wanted all the guests to listen.
"Reward from Prince Ji's Mansion;
Five hundred pieces of silk from the south of the Yangtze River, a thousand pieces of silk, ten night pearls from the South China Sea..." The singer began to tell the chant,
The guests stopped and listened quietly. Every time a name was read, the people below showed surprise. What was even more surprising was that the gift list was read from the smallest to the largest.
Next are some decorations, such as blood coral, pearl agate, jewelry and jade for Li Mengjiang,
After a long time, the singers stopped for a moment, and everyone knew that the main event was coming.
"Fifty large shops in East Market"
"Wow~~~" The guests were noisy. In a place where land is at a premium in Dongshi, fifty large shops are worth a lot of money.
"A ten-acre villa by the Pianhe River."
"Wow~~~~~~~"
"A princess mansion on fifty acres."
"Wow~~~"
"Money, 50 yuan."
"Wow~~~"
"real or fake?"
"It must be true, Prince Ji is so rich."
"The Zhou family is going to be prosperous."
"Prince Ji's Mansion Winery gets a [-]% bonus."
"Three generations of the Zhou family will be rich."
