Chapter 495 My sister has wanted to marry you for a long time(1/2)
Tomorrow is the day to welcome the bride.
Under the arrangement of the ritual officials, the Eastern Palace has made complete preparations.
The ceremonial officer in charge of this wedding was Fan Xiliang, who worked with Zhao Kun last time.
During this period, Zhao Kun, as the groom, also put forward his own ideas, but the bride-welcoming ceremony in BC was very different from the wedding he imagined.
Every time he put forward his own ideas, Fan Xiliang felt inexplicable and naturally would not agree to him.
Take the wedding ceremony as an example.
Zhao Kun originally thought that in ancient times, he had to use a sedan chair to welcome the bride to get married, but Fan Xiliang had no idea what the sedan chair was, and told Zhao Kun that he should use a cart to get married.
The so-called ink carriage is a carriage without any decoration.
Like the wedding dress Zhao Kun had to wear on the day of wedding wedding, it was basically black from beginning to end, with only the belt and lace, decorated with red.
It doesn't seem to remind people of it as a marriage.
Later, after Fan Xiliang's explanation, Zhao Kun understood.
It turns out that since the pre-Qin period, Qin has always advocated black. Even when getting married, the dresses are still mainly black. This is the same reason why I chose the ink cart.
However, such a wedding was really boring in Zhao Kun's opinion.
But as the wedding day approaches, the dowry from the Tongwu Hou family is also coming.
This also became Zhao Kun’s only expectation.
Zhao Kun likes money, and Wang Ben likes money more, but it is not easy to get money from Wang Ben.
So Zhao Kun looks forward to how much Wang Ben will spend his money to marry his daughter.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun checked the layout of the East Palace again and then returned to the hall.
At this time, the Wang Li brothers were standing in the yard outside the hall, behind them were group of carriages and boxes covered with red silk.
Zhao Kun's eyes lit up and he wanted to rush up and open the boxes.
But Fan Xiliang was talking to Wang Li at this time and stopped his rude behavior in time.
Zhao Kun could only resist the impulse and saluted Wang Li and Wang Yan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, two brothers."
"It's not hard." Wang Li said, handing over the gift list to Fan Xiliang, and then said: "I've always been at home recently, so it's hard to get out for some time, but my father has given me some explanation, so it's important to do the main business first."
"It should be."
Zhao Kun nodded reservedly.
Fan Xiliang glanced at the gift list and handed it over to Zhao Kun: "These are the dowry of the Marquis of Tongwu's Mansion. Please ask His Royal Highness to take a look."
Wang Yan said in agreement, then stretched out his hand to Fan Xiliang: "Give me money after reading it."
"Give money?"
Fan Xiliang is covered with lakes.
He had never heard of the person who gave the dowry asking the man for money.
Could it be that I forgot that there are such rules?
But if there are such rules, Fan Xiliang will be able to live for a long time.
Fortunately, Wang Li stopped Wang Yan with his eyes, and then extended his hand to Zhao Kun: "It should be given by the prince."
"Then let the prince." Wang Yan also stretched out his hand to Zhao Kun.
But Zhao Kun was also a little confused and looked at Wang Li for no reason: "What is this brother?"
"Give a red envelope."
Wang Li smiled and said, "When Yufei came back, she told me that she had given her red envelopes last time she sent her wedding clothes. Then we came all the way, you can't not give it to us, right?"
Hearing this, Fan Xiliang understood instantly, and then sighed and looked at Zhao Kun.
In fact, Fan Xiliang disagreed with the issue of sending red envelopes in the East Palace.
But Zhao Kun insisted on giving it to him, saying that this was a happy event and he wanted to share it with everyone, so Fan Xiliang had to agree.
Sure enough, this incident spread and the person who sent the dowry began to ask for red envelopes, which was really a mess of the rules.
"So I want a red envelope! It's supposed to be, I thought I owed you money!"
Zhao Kun smiled coldly. Anyway, he sent red envelopes during the holidays.
Besides, when others got married in their previous life, they also sent red envelopes.
Although the big customs of this life cannot be changed, the small customs can still be continued.
As he said that, he glanced at Zhou Kui behind him.
Zhou Kui understood it and immediately took out two red envelopes and handed them to Zhao Kun. Zhao Kun personally handed them to his two future brothers-in-laws, and said politely: "Although there is not much money, I have to pay for the joy of my two brothers!"
Of course, Wang Li and Wang Yan would not care about this little money. They were secretly happy when they heard Zhao Kun call him brothers.
So he took the red envelope with satisfaction and said to Zhao Kun: "Since the dowry has been delivered and the red envelope has been received, then we will say goodbye. Tomorrow is the day for marriage, so you have to go early."
"Yes, go early."
Wang Yan put away the red envelope and said in a good mood: "Check Yamei away early, she has been thinking about marrying you for a long time."
"Okay, cousin, let's go!"
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Wang Li kicked him, then said goodbye and left.
When they walked away, Fan Xiliang wanted to warn Zhao Kun and stop sending red envelopes.
But Zhao Kun didn't wait for Fan Xiliang to speak at all, so he picked up the gift list and muttered while checking it. "I don't know how much dowry my father-in-law has prepared. With his financial resources, it should not be less than the betrothal gifts we gave, right?"
Thinking of this, he looked carefully.
Soon, he found that the top part of the gift list was similar to the dowry he sent.
For example, combs, scissors, wine utensils and tea leaves...
But after the gift list, suddenly, a lot of valuable things began to appear.
For example, gold, silver, lacquerware, silk, and satin are all more numerous than betrothal gifts.
In the end, there were even houses and shops in the bustling areas of Xianyang City.
Zhao Kun couldn't help but exclaim, but he didn't expect that the Tongwu Hou who was usually searching for Qukou would be so heroic to marry his daughter.
Seeing that Zhao Kun was happy, Fan Xiliang noticed something abnormal, and also took the gift list and checked it carefully.
He just took a quick look and didn't see the end, so he didn't know the valuable bride price behind him.
"I didn't expect that the dowry prepared by Tongwu Hou was so generous, which made the royal family look stingy. If it were an outsider, I would probably be impeached for great disrespect, but Tongwu Hou would probably not care about it."
"Indeed, this is equivalent to returning all the betrothal gifts we gave, and adding houses and shops!"
Zhao Kun said with a wry smile: "My father-in-law is so kind, and my father probably has never seen him before. It is impossible to blame him!"
Hearing this, Fan Xiliang quickly said to Zhao Kun, "Crown Prince, rules are rules, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, please do not publish this gift list."
"I understand this."
Zhao Kun nodded, then looked at the carriage in the yard and said to Zhou Kui: "Since the bride price has arrived, then move it into the warehouse!"
"yes!"
Zhou Kui responded and called the servants to carry the bride price.
At this moment, a guard came to report and told Zhao Kun that Jiang Chao had arrived.
"Jiang Wa'er?"
Zhao Kun was a little surprised.
He remembered that Jiang Chao and Ying Yinman went to the cave for adventure. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have returned to Xianyang so soon.
However, Jiang Chao was very surprised that he could come back before he welcomed the bride.
After all, Jiang Chao is not a person who values sex over friends.
"Why, I didn't play with my seventh sister?"
Zhao Kun was in a good mood and smiled and joked when he saw Jiang Chao.
However, Jiang Chao said solemnly: "Young Master, I have something important to report to you!"
"Um?"
Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chao deeply, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go to my study and say."
"good."
Jiang Chao responded and followed Zhao Kun to the study.
"Tell me, there are no outsiders here!"
Zhao Kun closed the door of the study room and turned to Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao pondered: "Young Master, the Yin-Yang family has appeared, and now it is in Xianyang City!"
