Chapter 369: Ten Miles of Red Makeup~!
Since my father wanted him to stay at home obediently and honestly wait for the bride to enter the door, Li Zexuan followed his father's wishes and continued to be an otaku at home.
"Hmm~! Comfortable~! Xiaoxi, you work harder~! Little lotus~! Don't stop~! Keep reading~! “
Cough, don't get me wrong, our upright actor didn't do anything to be ashamed, just lying on the bamboo bed, enjoying Xiaoxi's massage, while listening to Xiaohe's story in the newspaper~!
Not to mention, the "Legend of Zhang Xiaohua's Cultivation of Immortals" written by "Outside the World", the more you go to the back, the more exciting, after all, the person who wrote is not a traverser like Li Zexuan, and the perspective of looking at the problem is from the perspective of the Tang people, although the opening part is modeled on "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", but the plot behind has a lot of original plots, which are still very good to pass the time.
"Hmm~! Young master, is this strength okay~? ”
Xiao Xi increased his strength and asked softly.
"Uh-huh~! Wide and wide! Xiaohe, keep reading! ”
Feeling the weak and boneless little hands on his back, wandering on various acupuncture points, Li Zexuan hummed comfortably, and he instructed Xiao He next to him.
Xiaohe rolled her eyes helplessly, this master at home is really becoming more and more like an uncle, but what can be done? She could only read obediently:
"Oh~! Jiang Tianwu's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, but he still fled from a distance, although he was fierce and evil, but it was only a cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and he could never block the blow of the thunder in the palm of the Ning Dan period monk.
Seeing that the other party was about to escape, Yun Yingsu waved out his hand, and a magic trick was punched into the blue light, and suddenly, like a scoop of water was poured into the boiling oil, and the whole blue light boiled.
Sting, a thick electric snake roared towards the other party............"
....................................
June 24, early in the morning.
The Han family's wedding dress is here.
Although the Han family is not as tyrant as the Li family, Han Yu regrets that her mother used to come from a big family, and she left her rich dowry to her daughter before her death. Han Yuxi didn't use this dowry in the most difficult time of his life, but now he brought it to the Li family, which is enough to show how much the Han family attaches importance to this marriage.
After Han Tianhu came back from the battlefield, he worked hard for so many years, and also saved a small dowry for his daughter, although it was not as good as those left by Han Yuxi's mother, but it also loaded five large carts, including three carts of copper coins and two carts of silk.
He knew that his daughter married into the Li family this time and married a county man, which was really high, so in order for his daughter to live comfortably in the Li family, Han Tianhu really invested in the dowry, and almost exhausted all the property in the family, not only that, but he also returned the luxurious dowry that Li Zexuan sent last time and added it to his daughter's dowry.
In ancient times, it was different from modern times, and the custom at this time was that women were married, and the poem "Hooligans" recorded: "Come with a car, bribe me to move", describing the scene when a patriotic woman got married at that time. Come on horse, I will bring the dowry to your house, which shows that the custom of marrying has been around for a long time.
People often say that "thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup", which refers to the queue of dowry that stretches for several miles, and the custom of "thick marriage" in ancient times is almost universal to every household. There is even a rumor in the market that it is difficult to marry without a dowry. At that time, the "daughter of the clan" of the royal clan often couldn't marry if her family was poor.
Even if it is the daughter of an ordinary family, the family will help save the dowry for the daughter from birth. In order to not only find a good in-law for their children in the future, but also have a higher status and a happier life in their in-laws' family after marriage (from ancient times to the present, parents are really heartbroken for their children, it has not changed at all).
Before the wedding, the woman's family generally has to go to the man's house to measure the size and order the furniture for the wedding, and even some families have to mortgage the property because they can't make enough dowry before the wedding.
"Hengshui County Chronicles" also once described it like this: "The rich family, there are people who use hundreds of gold as dowries, and this is allowed to be in ancient times, and it is very different." After the marriage, the man's family is the fesh, and the female family is the fesh. ”
It can be seen that the cost of a woman's dowry at that time was much higher than that of a man's dowry, and the woman's parents thought that this would make their daughter be valued in her husband's family, and that it would be better for her to have a rich dowry to rely on if her daughter was bullied.
The generous marriage of the ancients, the generous marriage of the modern people, the economic form has also changed from the "mother-in-law economy" to the "mother-in-law economy", some people say that China's housing prices are pushed up by the "mother-in-law", this statement is right or wrong for the time being. However, it is not advisable to marry generously or marry, and it is really inappropriate to use the life savings of parents to satisfy their children's extravagant imagination of marriage.
The Han family has such a big hemorrhage, it is estimated that the future will be very difficult, Han Tianhu himself understands the consequences, but he has always been upright, he still insists on exhausting the family wealth and giving so many dowries, he thinks that the Li family used more than 50,000 yuan of wealth to give a dowry, giving him and his daughter enough face, and now it is their turn to give the dowry, how can he be stingy? Naturally, as many as there are in the family, they will be sent over, otherwise their daughter will be laughed at after she marries.
Therefore, after removing the bed burial gift sent to the Li family yesterday and the dowry sent by the Han family today, the copper money alone pulled 25 carts, a full 25,000 yuan, 1,000 acres of fertile land, gold and silver utensils, silk and satin, clothes, bedding, furniture, books and medicinal materials, and even 35 ox carts at the bottom of the box, and the rest of the cheaper ones such as small utensils, poultry and livestock, etc., were also picked 40 carts, and hundreds of young people in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun were all invited by Han Tianhu to give wedding dresses.
Sixty ox carts, forty picks of goods, and a team of hundreds of people, under the leadership of three new carriages of Qiquge "Don't touch me", specially chose to enter from the Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an City, passing through Daozheng Fang, Changle Fang, Dongshi, the prosperous places of Chang'an City, and marching towards Yongle Fang, where the Li Mansion is located.
This mighty wedding dress procession, walking on the streets of Chang'an City, naturally attracted countless people to watch and marvel.
"Oh my God~! Whose family is marrying a daughter, and it is such a big pomp? ”
"I know this! It is the daughter of Hanjiazhuang in the east of Chang'an City! ”
"Is their family rich~? Why is this dowry so much~? Look at the ox carts that pull copper coins, there are more than 20 million dollars, I'm afraid there are 20 million yuan, right~? ”
"Heh~! The Han family doesn't have that much money, in my opinion~, most of them are dowry gifts from the Li family! ”
"The Li family? Which Li family~? ”
"It's Li Xiannan, Li Siye, their family~! The daughter of the Han family is going to marry a man from Li County this time, tsk, that girl is really blessed! Li County's man is a rare young man in my Tang Dynasty~! ”
"Oh~! I remember! The Li family gave a gift of 30,000 yuan plus 30 cars half a month ago, and went to hire outside the city, it turned out to be Han Lizheng's family! ”
"yes, yes! The dowry is 40 million yuan, and the Li family is really willing to do it! ”
"The Han family has made a lot of money this time~!"
"Heh~! I can't say that, last time the Li family was hired, I also saw it in person, and the dowry was not as much as the dowry sent by the Han family~! It is estimated that the Han family not only didn't make any money this time, but also made a lot of extras! ”
"Tsk~! It's really ~! This Han family is also very generous, if it is changed to another family, it would be good to send back half of the dowry so much! ”
