The Xie family is naturally satisfied with Rong Ci. Aside from the fact that his temperament may be a little cooler, everything is not bad.
But even if he is a little more deserted, he is still a calm and responsible person. This lady has married home, and even though the relationship between the couple is not very good, he will protect her, and being deserted also has the benefits of being deserted, maybe
There won't be any concubines sharing the same room.
This couple may live a quiet life, but with status, power and wealth, they can be considered peaceful and peaceful throughout their lives. As long as they can see things to themselves, there is no way they will live a bad life.
Youdao means marrying a man, wearing clothes and eating, no matter whether he is a little colder or dull and can't talk, as long as he is well fed and clothed, not bullied by others, and does not have any messy things, then it is excellent.
As for the love between men and women, it is all fictitious. When some men and women are young, their love is as deep as the sea, and they are inseparable for life and death. But when they grow older and their beauty and beauty fade away, they are no longer worthy of concubines.
Madam Xie has seen many of these things.
And that’s the worst.
Mrs. Xie and Xie Yian looked at each other, and then nodded: "Ninth Young Master, we are naturally satisfied. To be honest with you, it is also a blessing for Yixiao to have this marriage."
Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled and said: "It is also our Rong family's blessing to have her marry into our Rong family. I will not hide it from you two. I also like this girl in your family the most."
"Mrs. Rong Guogong loves her, which is also her blessing."
After the two flattered each other for several times, Mrs. Cao Guogong ordered someone to bring the marriage gift up, and handed the gift list to the maid waiting at the side, asking her to send it up.
"These are the gifts prepared by Duke Rong's Mansion. Please take a look at them, too."
Mrs. Xie took it and looked at it. She found that what Rong Guogong's Mansion had prepared was indeed twelve rites, including six popular rites, which were divided into gift cakes, gift incense and candles, gift fruits, gift tea, gift wine, and gift sugar.
Two more rites are added to make the eight rites, including "gifts" and "dresses".
Among them, the gift is to prepare a piece of jewelry for the girl, one piece is fine, or a set is suitable. The dress is to prepare cloth or clothes for the girl. Similarly, a piece of cloth is fine, or this set is fine.
Therefore, when ordinary people ask for marriage, they usually give six rites, and some families give eight rites. If they want to give 12 rites, in addition to these eight, others can be added at will to make up the twelve rites.
The gifts sent by Rong Guogong's mansion, such as cakes, incense, candles, fruits, and candies, were all in accordance with the usual customs. These things were just like that, and there was nothing outstanding about them.
The gift tea was a jar of Biyan Fairy Tea, which is the top tribute in the palace. It belongs to the category of cloud tea. It is said that there are only 18 tea trees on the top of Biyan Mountain. It is nourished by clouds and mist every day, and the tea is more fragrant than
The clouds and mist are even better.
It is also said that the tea was grown by immortals who came down to earth, so it is called Biyan Immortal Tea.
There is probably only so much tea in a year, and Mrs. Rong Guogong snatched it back.
The gift wine is a jar of good wine that has been stored for more than ten years. This wine is called "Song Tao", also known as gentleman wine.
The gift is a set of white jade jewelry, including a white jade hairpin, a pair of white jade bracelets, a gold jade flower hairpin, earrings, a top hairpin, a small crown, etc. There are twelve pieces in total, which does not add up to ten thousand taels.
There are also several thousand silver.
The clothes were not ready-made, but eight pieces of cloth were given as gifts. They were full of treasures and were expensive.
In addition, there are four gifts, which can be given to girls or elders in the family.
Mrs. Rong Guogong saw that Xie Yi was almost smiling, so she prepared some for other people in the house. She gave Mr. Xie a jade Ruyi, Xie Yi'an and his wife got a pair of jade vases, and Xie Yizhen got a scroll from the previous dynasty.
For calligraphy and painting, Xie Yiling got an inkstone.
This gift was considered a thoughtful gift. Even Xie Yiling was not left behind. Although Xie Yiling was still young and was Xie Yixiao's younger brother, he and Xie Yi'an were of the same generation.
.
Mrs. Xie was extremely satisfied after reading the gift list. Just because there were so many things stuffed into the gift, she knew how satisfied Rong Guogong was with the marriage. It also gave Xie Yixiao and the Xie family a lot of face.
Mrs. Cao Guogong smiled and asked: "I wonder what Mrs. Xie thinks? If you think there is anything lacking, just say it and we can discuss it again."
Mrs. Cao Guogong also felt that these marriage proposals were really excessive and sincere. Not to mention anything else, the gift money and the dress would definitely be reduced if they were from someone else's family.
It's not a serious job, is it?
It's okay to give the same amount of gift money, but it's enough to give three more gifts. It's almost enough to use a piece of cloth to make the dress. The rest can be given after the betrothal gift.
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "Mrs. Rong Guogong has taken the trouble. Everything is good, so there is nothing lacking. The Xie family is very satisfied."
Mrs. Xie asked someone to accept the gift. Since she had accepted the gift, the marriage was initially decided. After that, she just waited for Rong Guogong's mansion to choose a good day to come to collect the Geng Tie. The two families were married, and then they could start talking.
It's time to get engaged and get engaged.
The ancients said, "If you hire a wife, you will become a wife; if you run away, you will become a concubine."
As evidenced by the three books and the marriage certificate, the etiquette and laws of the world are known to the world as husband and wife, so naturally they are different.
Not long after, the news spread to Qingshan Garden. Xie Yixiao was making her scented tea in the house. Now that the summer is hot, she needs to make some tea to reduce heat and drink it.
Xie Zhu was curious and did not dare to go to the outer courtyard to check on the situation, so she had no choice but to come to her.
She sat on the chair, watching Xie Yixiao busy, and couldn't help but ask: "Little aunt, is it possible that you are not worried at all?"
Although Xie Yixiao felt that there was nothing to worry about. After all, there could be no more surprises in this marriage, but after all, it was her own marriage, so she was a little uneasy. She felt a little uneasy while sitting, so she found something to do to keep busy.
Hearing this, she said: "There is nothing to worry about. Is this marriage possible or not?"
Xie Zhu thought for a while and nodded: "That's true, but my aunt wants to marry Young Master Rong Jiu."
Xie Yixiao looked up at her: "How about marrying the Ninth Young Master?"
Xie Zhu said: "You don't know how many people in the imperial city wanted to marry him, especially Xu Pingting from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and the young master's family, who was known as the most talented woman
Yue Qingshuang."
"There were people who placed bets earlier on who will marry the Ninth Young Master. The first one is Xu Pingting, and the second one is this month's Qingshuang."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "I know these things."
It's not like she just stays in the backyard of this mansion and doesn't care about anything. She also knows a lot about things outside.
However, from her point of view, she was about to get engaged, and His Majesty had given her the marriage, so these were nothing to be afraid of. Even if she dared not to jump on her face, she was just a clown.
