The scene was lively, and even while sitting in the carriage, various comments could be heard from time to time.
Xie Yixiao and Mingxin Black Tea listened carefully for a while and found it interesting.
Xie Yixiao's dowry was prepared for a total of 160 dowry. Although it was not as good as Princess Ning Qin Ruyue's 192 dowry, it was just right considering her status as a married woman.
Moreover, many of the jewelry, banknotes, shops and farms in the family are not displayed on the public display. Because there are too many things, she has not touched her father's collections and books yet.
She thought about it carefully, and she took the books she liked to read, and took half of the orphan copies. The remaining ones were left to Xie Yiling, so that they could be passed down from generation to generation.
This seemed more appropriate than taking her away.
Xie Yixiao wanted to reach out and touch his face, but suddenly he remembered that he had put on makeup today, so he had to stop. But sitting in the carriage was really boring. These discussions were indeed interesting at first, but after listening to them too much, they became boring.
.
She rolled her eyes, and then said to Black Tea: "Bring me the dowry booklet and the box containing the banknotes."
Too boring, just... count the money.
The corners of Mingxin's mouth twitched and she whispered: "Mingjing had known this would happen, so he had all the slaves ready. You, count slowly, there is still a lot of time." After that, he took out a box from a cage in the carriage.
The box contained the dowry booklet and banknotes.
Some of the banknotes she had saved in the past, and some were given by His Majesty and the Rong family as betrothal gifts. Mrs.
Some elders also added some.
A year has not passed yet for the businesses that Xizi Pavilion and Rong Ci managed for her (including Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower), and the accounts have not been settled yet, and the money is still on the shop's account.
But even if she has it in her hand now, she counts nearly 80,000 taels of silver notes alone, and there are also 2,000 taels of gold ingots.
Xie Yixiao's eyebrows curled up every time she counted the banknotes, and her heart was filled with happiness, like a hamster in a warehouse full of food. If she had a tail, she would wag it.
Eighty thousand taels of silver, and one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. If you convert this, it adds up to one hundred thousand taels. If you convert the amount in this world, one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand yuan. One hundred thousand taels, that is one hundred million.
Already.
In addition, she also has a profitable shop and farm, and how many houses and properties are there?
This is like a modern rich and beautiful woman getting married, with a dowry of 100 million in cash, a few shops, and several properties, but no shares that can be used to collect money, but it looks like it will be spent in a lifetime.
Even when she was anxious about getting married, sitting in a float for a long time and counting the money, she couldn't help but feel happy, as if all her worries and worries were gone.
Maybe she is such a superficial person.
After counting the banknotes, she went to look at the dowry booklet. There were three copies of the dowry booklet. One was left at the Xie family, the other was taken with the dowry and would be handed over to the Rong family. The last one was held by herself.
.
Because the dowry is actually quite large and cannot be disclosed to the outside world, there is one copy on the front and one in the appendix. The one on the front is the 160 dowry, and the one on the appendix is the private shops, farms and houses.
.
The banknotes and some jewelry were kept privately at the bottom of the box and were not included in the dowry. There was only one record book for the jewelry, which she kept by herself.
Looking at the names of these jewelry, she was a little dazzled, and she had to open her eyes wide to distinguish them clearly.
The wedding team passed by the Chang'an Building, and the Rong family arranged for people to enter the Chang'an Building to distribute wedding candies.
The onlookers stared at the wedding procession passing by on the street, their eyes rounded, especially when their eyes fell on the people carrying dowry at the back.
Yes, it looks so vast at a glance, as if there is no end in sight.
"How much to lift?"
"This girl from the Xie family has quite a lot of dowry!"
"The only thing that can be compared to this is when Princess Ning gets married, right?"
"No, no, I remember that Princess Ning had a total of 192 kilos when she got married. It is said that the Xie family girl only had 160 kilos."
"But where is the identity? Although His Majesty intended for Young Master Rong Jiu to inherit the title of Prince Ding, he didn't inherit it, right? Princess Ning married the prince and is His Majesty's own son. Naturally, she cannot pass over her."
"But Princess Ning's dowry, tsk, is even comparable to that of the Crown Princess back then."
"Although today is different from the past. The princess married the prince more than ten years ago, and life is much better now than before. But after all, the prince is the crown prince of a country. Does she dare to compare with the prince?
Something bad..."
"Be careful, don't say this, lest someone overhears you."
"that is."
A few people murmured for a few words, then immediately changed the topic and talked about Duke Rong's Mansion again: "Speaking of the people in Duke Rong's Mansion, the Crown Prince's wife will not talk about them. She grew up in Duke Rong's Mansion.
Yes, she is getting married to the Crown Prince, and there is no need to worry about any dowry or not, but the third young lady..."
"She is no longer the Third Young Madam. She has nothing to do with Duke Rong's mansion anymore. Just give her some face and call her the Third Young Madam Rong."
"Yes, Mrs. Rong San, I heard that when she got married, she received a lot of dowry."
"Her dowry is indeed quite large, but I heard that most of it consists of books, or books copied from the family collection."
"Manuscript?"
"Yes, yes."
"Are all these manuscripts? Oops? Real or fake?"
Books are a good thing, but the most precious ones are often the originals. As long as the originals are there, you can pay someone to copy them for a little money. They are really worthless.
Of course, the reason why this is not valuable is also compared to a wealthy family like them. For ordinary people, some books are simply out of their reach. If they can get a copy, it is very precious.
Liao Zhuyin and Rong Qing were still in the private room of Chang'an Building at the moment, watching the wedding procession pass by, watching the dowry being carried, and listening to the discussions and comparisons in this building, their eyes darkened.
Liao Zhuyin was so angry that her face turned green. She bit her lip: "They are all ignorant things. They only see vulgar things. They don't know that poetry and books are the foundation of a family. They are really short-sighted things."
"Those kinds of money are just common things, how can they be compared with poetry and books? Poems and books can last forever if they are passed down from family to family. The Liao family has passed them down for many years. These books are the accumulation of hundreds of years. No one else can ask for them.
"
"They actually compared Xie Shisan's money with my poetry and books!"
