Chapter 64 Accompanying the Door Wealth
Zhang Chao's face changed, "What, it's already been discussed?" โ
"Well, it's a good talk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
Zhang Chao was very surprised by this result, and he thought that this thing should not go so smoothly.
"Didn't the Cui family ask for anything?"
"The Cui family is very sincere, the Zheng family is also very supportive of this good thing, and your father-in-law and I also like this good thing, so the two sides naturally hit it off." Dad said happily, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say the request for the Cui family's 1,000 taels of gold to accompany the family.
Accompanying the door is not an ordinary courtesy.
For example, the thousand-year-old wealthy families of the five surnames and seven sects in Shandong, they used to practice the first marriage, that is, the marriage between the major wealthy families.
But now, the north has undergone continuous changes of dynasty, from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties, it is the Guanlong group that has gained power, and the wealthy scholars of the old north have become the losers of the line, and the political has been hit again and again, especially after wars again and again, Shandong has suffered from wars, and many of the Gaomen scholars who were originally high in the country have fallen into the middle of the road, and even become poor.
Due to the pressure of the times, these famous families also had to regain their prestige and obtain financial support by intermarrying those military nobles or wealthy families from small landlords or poor families.
Accompanying the family wealth is the financial compensation that those who want to marry these high-ranking families need to pay for the disparity in their status and status.
This situation is very popular today.
Those Shandong scholars have married the royal family and the imperial relatives, as well as the Guanlong nobles and even the nobils of the DPRK and China, and even the wealthy businessmen.
The Guanlong nobles, who were regarded as nouveau riche, many of them did not have a deep background, and they intended to increase their family's fame by marrying with the famous families of the Shandong Shi family.
Both parties took what they wanted, and this kind of marriage flourished.
This kind of marriage was also called a marriage sale.
The income from selling marriages is generally very high, and it must be millions.
The marriage between the Cui family and the Zhang family is not the right one, but Cui Fushan is interested in Zhang Chao is Qin Qiong's righteous son, and has a good relationship with Cheng Biting, Jin Luo Shixin, Li Shiji and other Tang Dynasty military nouveau riche from the Shandong landlord class. These upstarts were a very powerful force in Li Tang.
And Zhang Chao has no merits, but he is good at management, which makes Cui Shanfu feel that if he marries his daughter to Zhang Chao, he can bring economic benefits to the Cui family in the future.
Cui Shanfu's wife Wang calculated an account for him, if the Thirteen Niang is matched with a family and married to Wang Li Zhenglu and other surnames, then the Cui family not only can't receive a penny of money to accompany the family, but also has to give a large amount of money as a dowry, especially the dowry brought by Cui Shanfu's ex-wife Zheng back then, it must be brought to her husband's house by Thirteen Niang with nothing left, and the Cui family has to accompany a dowry.
But if the thirteenth mother is married to Zhang Chao, then the Cui family does not need to marry, and they can still get a pen to accompany the family. Perhaps, he can also leave all the dowry left by Thirteen Niang's mother Zheng in the Cui family.
Cui is eighteen years old this year, and he has not yet married, and a large part of the reason is that his stepmother Wang refuses to marry her. Wang refused to come up with a large amount of money for a dowry, and she was always thinking about swallowing the dowry left by the Zheng family, and she also wanted to get a large amount of money.
There is no large amount of money to marry, the Wang family resolutely refuses to marry with the general family, and she refuses to marry the thirteen mothers, so Cui Sanniang, the daughter of the family, has been eighteen years old, and she is still in the boudoir and has become an older leftover girl.
This time, the Qin family was willing to ask the Cui family for Zhang Chao, and the Wang family immediately opened his mouth, asking for a thousand taels of gold as soon as he opened his mouth. That's a full 8 million yuan, which is much higher, or even several times, than the money demanded by the major wealthy families in Shandong at present.
Wang's meaning is to shout more first, anyway, the sky is asking for a price.
But what the Cui family didn't expect was that Qin Qiong actually agreed to it without the slightest bargaining for the sake of a righteous son.
One thousand taels of gold is also a lot of money for a broken family like the Cui family, but for an upstart like Qin Qiong, it is really nothing.
He didn't bargain with the Cui family, a thousand taels is a thousand taels.
In order to marry Zhang Chao a girl with five surnames, Qin Qiong was very generous and bold.
Qin Qiong gave the Zhang family a thousand taels of money, and there was no obstacle to this marriage immediately.
However, Qin Qiong told Zhang Tiegun that he should not tell Zhang Chao about the wealth of the family for the time being, and if he came out of this money, it would be regarded as a marriage gift for Zhang Chao.
This made my father very grateful, if it weren't for Qin Qiong, Zhang Chao would definitely not be able to climb into a famous family like the Cui family, if it wasn't for Qin Qiong, the Zhang family wouldn't be able to get eight million to accompany the family. Dad is not a person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, if it were himself, he would never go to climb the famous family, but Zhang Chao is his own son, for the sake of his son, the father is always willing to do many things that he was not willing to do.
But there is no need to tell Zhang Chao about these things.
"The Cui family doesn't have any conditions, they are optimistic about you as a person, they think you are very good, and you will definitely have a future in the future." Daddy laughed.
"However, the Cui family said that there may not be too much dowry at that time, but it will not be too bad to you. General Cui said that when the time comes, he will take Fumanlou in Dongshi, a grain shop, a cloth village, and a 500-acre village on the outskirts of Beijing as a dowry. โ
A restaurant with two shops, plus a Zhuangzi, these together can be estimated at hundreds of thousands, if it is a high estimate, it may be estimated at a million.
Sounds like a lot.
This made Zhang Chao even more puzzled, the Cui family actually gave so many dowries? This sounds the same as the boss of Shanxi media marrying a daughter, and he will marry hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.
It's just that such a good thing actually comes to your own head?
Even if the Cui family wants to slap Qin Qiong, there is no need to kneel and lick it like this. A dowry of one million is also a big burden for the Cui family today.
"The Cui family didn't ask for a bride price?"
"The bride price must be given, but they didn't ask for much, they didn't mention the conditions, we just looked at it ourselves, I discussed it with your father-in-law, and gave a hundred taels of gold."
"The Cui family agreed?"
"Promise, I've been here for a long time, they fancy you as a person, not money."
Zhang Chao really doesn't believe it, the bride price is only 800,000 yuan, but the marriage is accompanied by millions? If it is an ordinary family, it is normal, but the Cui family has five surnames and seven sects.
"Dad, let me ask you something, is the lady of the Cui family really not squinting and crooked mouth, or lame, or pockmarked?"
"Of course not, your father-in-law has invited someone to meet the little lady of the Cui family last time, although she is a little older, she is twenty-nine this year, but she is still very delicate, she can also read and write, and she is more proficient in arithmetic, and she is a female cook."
Zhang Chaoyue heard that something was wrong, he was twenty-nine years old, that is, he was only eighteen years old. No disability, good looking, and versatile? Such a good girl, from a famous family, and the daughter of the Cui family, should be pursued by all parties who have broken through the threshold, how could it fall into his hands?
"Don't think about it so much, I still say the same thing, the Cui family is interested in you."
"One hundred taels of gold, we can't take it out, I think it's better to forget it, we can't afford it." Zhang Chao took the opportunity to say.
"Your father-in-law has come out for you, you can rest assured, marry a woman with five surnames, others can't ask for it, you see that not only the royal family marries a woman with five surnames, but even Guan Longhao is right, and many military upstarts are vying to marry with the Shandong scholars. The women of the Shandong Shi clan have a good style, a good family background, and a family of women and hundreds of families, so you don't have to be cheap and obedient. โ
Even the crown princess is the daughter of the Zheng family of Xingyang with five surnames and seven sects, and the other nobles in the court have also married them.
"We have made an appointment with the Cui family to set a date another day, and the Cui family will invite us to come and sit down. Then they will arrange an opportunity for you to see each other. โ
This can be regarded as the Datang version of a blind date, but seeing one side is really just seeing one side, and there is no communication. Find an opportunity to let the two of them look at each other from a distance, and look at each other from afar, anyway, they have an impression before marriage, so that they will not be completely blind and touch the elephant.
Seeing this, Zhang Chao could only agree for the time being.
In fact, he wanted to marry a small family of Jasper, and it would be better if it was the daughter of a small landlord's family.
He was very distressed about his one hundred taels of gold, and he had pit one hundred taels of gold from Cui's house last time, and he was going to vomit it all back in a blink of an eye. If you find a landlord lady who is the right person, you can still make money when you get married.
In these years, if it is a marriage that is the right person, then although the man also has to give a gift, the woman often has to give double the dowry, or even more.
Therefore, there is a popular saying among the people, that is, thieves do not enter the door of the five women. If a family has five daughters, the thieves will not visit his house. Such a family must marry a poor daughter if they marry it.
Uncle Wang's family has nine daughters, not only very poor, but the three daughters in the family are already marriageable, and they can't find their in-laws because they have no money to marry.
Now many people are willing to marry their daughters to men with a lower status than their own, so that they can save a lot of money and make a lot of money.
The gift is 800,000 yuan, and the dowry is 1 million, and it seems that there is no loss.
It's just that Zhang Chao feels that he has never seen it, and this has already been decided, which is too unreliable.
One hundred taels of gold, Zhang Chao is still very distressed, how many yellow buns do you have to sell.
Fortunately, the soap accidentally caught fire, and I was able to make a fortune immediately.
Zhang Chao told his father that he had received a reservation for more than 3,000 pieces of soap.
"Each piece of soap sells for six pieces, and the net profit is more than five times, and more than three thousand pieces is more than 10,000 pieces, and this time it was sent." Zhang Chao put the unhappiness behind him, and it was more refreshing to make money.
Zhang Chao plans to continue this soap workshop according to the previous meal business, giving 10% to each of the five princes, so that the Zhang family father and son will continue to retain 50% of the shares.
Split half of the income, Zhang Chao can at least earn about 8,000 yuan, more than 8 million.
After this business is done, he is really rich, if he can open up a larger market in the future, then it will be a big cornucopia, and he will continue to receive money.
Zhang Chao did not hesitate to give half of the shares of the soap business to the five princes, the more profitable the business, the more he had to have a solid backer, otherwise, he would not be able to keep it at all.
Daddy was dumbfounded as he listened.
"Are you saying that after the soap order you received just now, we will have more than 8,000 net profits? More than 8,000 guan, 1,000 taels of gold? โ
"That's right, when we finish the list in hand, we will be able to have a thousand taels of gold income, and this is not counting the follow-up, Dad, we are going to send it!"
The old iron spear grinned, and smiled happily.
