Suddenly the dowry issue was mentioned, and Yuntao was stunned for a moment.

It was her first engagement, she had little experience and had no idea what to do.

"Should I prepare anything?" Yuntao looked at her parents.

She has no shortage of money and can buy anything she needs with money.

"Silly girl, there is no need for you to prepare it. Your father and I will just prepare it. But this place is different from our place. Girls prepare furniture from a young age and add everything..."

Wan Hongmei attended several banquets and chatted a lot with other ladies, and also learned a lot.

"But it's okay. It's still a long way from proposing and getting married. Then the head office will delay it!" Wan Hongmei said.

Yuntao nodded after hearing this.

Let’s get engaged first. Even if we get engaged, we won’t get married that early.

The couple hurriedly got out of the space and began to look for paper and pen. They also called their all-purpose housekeeper, Eunuch Zhan, to ask what they needed to buy a dowry for their daughter.

Eunuch Zhan has been in the palace for so many years and has seen a lot, so he must be better than them.

However, Eunuch Zhan didn't think much about it. From His Majesty to ordinary people, it was a very common thing for their daughters to buy dowries. However, he heard a few words in the palace and they still wanted to reward the princess. He usually

What I saw was also the specifications for a princess to get married, so I picked up the specifications from the princess and said

Everything from furniture and slaves to drinking glasses and needlework must be purchased.

Especially for a girl's wedding dress, it is necessary to ask the embroiderer to embroider it half a year in advance.

"... There are many embroiderers in the Shang Palace Bureau, and even a dozen embroiderers would have to embroider for half a year..." Eunuch Zhan said.

After listening to his words, Yun Huachun was worried that his daughter might not be able to wear the wedding dress when she got married. The next second, she was thinking about how to ask your majesty for a favor next time she performed meritorious service.

"Eunuch Zhan, please make a list of these things. I will go to the street to buy them tomorrow." Wan Hongmei ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Eunuch Zhan was thinking that perhaps a happy event was coming to his family, but he didn't hear who the husband was.

Looking at the dowry list, the couple studied it for a while.

They all know the furniture, pots and pans, and the girl's hand should be enough, so why do they need to prepare antique calligraphy and paintings?

"How about we take this away?" Yun Huachun asked tentatively.

Wan Hongmei: "Forget it, don't go yet, ask our daughter first."

This is a dowry for my daughter, so I must ask her for her opinion.

Naturally, Yuntao doesn't want it. Why would she want it? It's expensive and can't be eaten. Just keep it at home and enjoy it? She is a modernist and cannot appreciate classical things.

No matter how well it is preserved, no one knows who will be in its hands hundreds of years later.

He simply said: "Dad, your calligraphy is good. It's the same if you write a few more pictures for me. Maybe it will be worth my money in the future!"

These words made Yun Huachun feel a lot of pride and emotion in his heart. She was better off as a daughter.

"Okay, my dear, don't worry, I will write the best thing for you."

Yun Huachun either went to court or taught lessons to the prince every day, so the task of buying a dowry fell on Wan Hongmei.

Wan Hongmei went out with a group of maids and a few nurses. She rarely showed off her mistress style and went straight to the carpentry shop where they were making furniture and asked them to make a few sets of furniture.

After choosing a few good patterns and wood, Wan Hongmei paid the deposit of two thousand taels of silver and left.

There are a lot of people paying attention to the Shaofu Mansion, but he is usually too low-key and doesn't do much activities.

Today Wan Hongmei came out with great fanfare and attracted great attention!

Many servants waited for Wan Hongmei to come out, and then went to the store to inquire about what the lady just came to buy.

I heard that they are all ordinary furniture, and I bought a lot of them.

But isn't this matter left to the housekeeper? Why did Mrs. Fu come in person?

Many people are curious.

We even got to the bottom of it and found out that the owner behind this carpentry shop belonged to a fourth-rank official named Xu in the imperial court.

Mr. Xu is still a civil servant. Is it possible that the young master has a favorable eye for Mr. Xu?

Before the spies went back to report the news, they heard that Wan Hongmei had entered another cloth shop and visited several others.

What's going on? Is there any secret code?

Although the shopkeeper of the cloth shop didn't recognize Wan Hongmei and saw that she was dressed simply, he saw that she was well-trained and followed by servants, so he thought that her identity must be something special.

He went up to greet me with a smile, introduced him warmly, and ordered the people below to pour water and snacks.

Wan Hongmei looked around and was quite satisfied with all the silk brocades, but the prices were not cheap.

"It looks good, I'll go look elsewhere..." Wan Hongmei said.

Shopkeeper:......

She didn't touch the tea and snacks that were just served, for fear that she would take advantage of others by not buying them here.

Purchasing something for her daughter was a big deal, but she had heard from the ladies that these materials would fade if kept for a long time. Plus, with the price, she had to shop around.

Fortunately, the shops selling cloth and ready-made clothes here are all on both sides of the nearby streets. I walked around and looked at this one and that one.

After shopping for a long time, Wan Hongmei finally settled on a store, Tailong Buzhuang.

There are many styles of fabrics and the prices are cheaper. As for the quality, the people coming and going speak for themselves.

The shopkeeper is a woman in her thirties, and she has very strict rules when walking around. It makes Wan Hongmei feel familiar, but she is not sure.

"Madam, please follow me to the third floor. The fabrics and embroidery threads on the third floor are suitable for young women," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

Wan Hongmei nodded, thinking that the quality of the ancient service staff was good.

She looked at the various pieces of cloth mixed together, and actually saw that she was choosing something for a young woman.

After going up to the third floor, the colorful fabrics on display were brighter and more colorful, suitable for young women. The embroidery threads next to them were of various colors, ranging from gold to silver, and there were even handkerchief samples embroidered with gold threads.

The embroidery work on the veil is exquisite, and the flowers and birds are so lifelike that even Wan Hongmei, who doesn't know much about art, stopped to admire it for a long time.

It will look great on her daughter!

"Madam, are you here to pick something for your daughter?" A gentle female voice sounded.

Wan Hongmei followed the sound and suddenly saw a beautiful woman with a dignified appearance and a silk scarf standing in front of her and looking at her with a smile.

He immediately withdrew his thoughts on the cloth and became a little more wary.

"I bought it for my little girl. What can I do for you?" Wan Hongmei asked.

Maybe she didn't expect Wan Hongmei to speak so straightforwardly. The woman stood there in surprise, but immediately softened her expression and picked up the topic.

"I also have several girls under my knees, and these girls are all too busy to worry about..." The woman chatted a few words and suddenly turned the topic to Wan Hongmei, "Does Madam have something that she likes?

Good materials also require suitable embroiderers. Madam needs embroiderers, and I just have a few embroiderers who are good at Su embroidery..."

Wan Hongmei understood now that this was a value-added service in the store!
