Spring is coming, and the branches are three tender.

The old man said that, the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is not other state affairs now, but Zhu Yunyu's marriage. The grandson's wedding is a state affairs.

The ceremony of asking for fame and fortune has just passed, and within a few days it was the ceremony of enthronement and enthronement. These two etiquettes were both the man who gave the betrothal gift to the woman's house. The first time was a brief moment, and the second time was a full set of betrothal gifts.

Marrying a man and getting dressed and eating, the dowry has been around since ancient times. Even the emperor did not make a fortune. However, the dowry varies from person to person, and it is impossible to ask for a price everywhere. Those with rich give more and those with poor give less. This is mainly a meaning and is regarded as etiquette.

No one's family is selling girls, right?

If an official and a wealthy family gets married, the man will give you as much dowry as the man gives, and even more dowry than the man. Because he gives you less, he is afraid that his daughter will be wronged.

The dowry is the private house of a woman in her husband's house. In the future, if the woman dies without a child, the dowry will be returned. If there is a child and the woman dies prematurely, only the woman's children can control and inherit the dowry. Even if it is a husband, the parents-in-law will not use it.

Early in the morning, Zhu Yunxi's two uncles, including Li Yuanming, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other officials. Jinyiwei opened the way and escorted the guards. The banner was rolled high and rolled up to Niangniang Lane and the Zhao family's house.

The Zhao family had already opened its doors. Zhao Sili was wearing official uniforms in front of him, and his wife knelt in front of him in the clothes of a wife. Zhao Ning'er, the future crown princess, was in the hall inside the house and could not go out now.

At the front of the team in the palace, two whip lieutenants pioneered the way, and the musicians of the sects were playing music. Then, wearing red python robes, Chang Sheng was happily holding a bright yellow scroll and came to Zhao Sili.

Lord Zhao, I have the will! Chang Sheng said with a smile.

Minister, Zhao Sili received the order! Zhao Sili and his wife kowtowed.

The emperor has issued an order that I have made love with you and I, and I have a relative. The Zhao family daughter is the wife of the Zhu family, and is the mother of the Eastern Palace. Chang Sheng smiled and said, "I will accept the ceremony of the ritual of the dynasty. The pearl and jade swallows are in the crown." (Decorated with large pearls, 2 golden phoenixes, 27 golden treasure flower ornaments, 1 pair of golden hairpins, and 1 pair of coral phoenix crown mouth)

(The National Museum has a prototype, the queen's phoenix crown unearthed from the Wanli Tomb.)

Four sets of Yanju suits. (One piece of big red silk, big red yarn, big red yarn, and green yarn)

There are four large belts, one pair of jade belts, one pair of jade flowers, one pair of ribbons (there are one jade ribbon flowers, six jade pendant beads, four gold hanging heads, and six gold leaves).

There are nine pieces of jade incident, two pieces of gold ornaments, four pairs of beaded flowers, and four branches of beaded flowers.

A pair of four beads with golden feet, a pair of plum garlands, a pair of golden light bracelets, a pair of eight gold treasure bracelets, a pair of four hundred taels of gold, a thousand six hundred taels of silver, twenty-four taels of pearls, fifty taels of treasure money, four horses, silk, silk, silk, silk, and brocade, four big red robe, thirty-two northern sheep, sixteen pigs, thirty-two geese, two hundred bottles of wine, six hundred round cakes... (so much water, money is given!)

(From Zhu Qinmei, a member of the Ming Dynasty, a book on the Kingdom Ceremony.)

The long gift list shows the wealth of the Tian family. Whenever Chang Sheng finished reading a sentence, there were palace servants wearing auspicious clothes behind him, either holding or carrying them, and putting them into the middle hall of the Zhao family. After a while, the Tian family’s betrothal gifts piled up like mountains.

I, thank God for your kindness! Zhao Sili raised his hands above his head and took the imperial edict.

Lord Zhao, please get up! Chang Sheng smiled and helped the other party up. The emperor loved him well. This reward was a little more than when the prince was engaged!

Zhao Sili's face was frozen. These days were like in a dream. Today, he had given the betrothal gift from the election. He finally felt relieved.

At this time, the ceremony of envoyment had just begun. The Jiaofangsi played music again. Then the harem people entered and began to set up incense tables, incense burners and other items in the Zhao family.

Li, the Minister of Rites, respectfully held a jade box and walked into the house with a praising official from the Ministry of Rites.

Accompanied by the female official in the palace, Zhao Ning'er stood respectfully beside the incense table.

Kneel! The Ministry of Rites praises the official sang.

Zhao Ning'er knelt down and her hands spread slightly.

He was appointed as the imperial concubine of Zhao Ning'er and the mother of the Eastern Palace! After Li's original name Langsheng said, he carefully took it out from the jade box and had the golden plate engraved with Zhao Ning'er's birth name.

The golden book is a symbol of Zhao Ning'er's identity. When she is alive, the golden book will be offered to her palace. If she dies in the future, the golden book will accompany her into the grave together with the jade box.

The golden book made of 100 taels of gold was a little heavy, and Zhao Ning'er's arms trembled faintly.

I, thank you for your kindness!

Then, he put away the gold book, looked at the incense table, and knelt three times and nine times towards the palace city.

The Ministry of Rites praises continued to sing, and etiquette was fulfilled!

Get the Empress up quickly! Li’s original name said to the palace servant.

Just as Zhao Ning'er got up, the Chang brothers, Li's original names and officials from various ministries, and the palace people all bowed.

I will meet the Grand Princess, the Empress, a thousand years old!

Suddenly, Zhao Ning'er, who was originally full of tension and shyness, became panicked.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked around, trying to find his parents in panic, but suddenly realized that his parents were kneeling humbly, like others, and kowtowed to his daughter.

Tears filled her eyes unconsciously, and she received the royal enthronement and gold book. Even if the wedding ceremony had not been held yet, even at home, her parents would kneel down to her.

Zhao Ning'er stubbornly held back her tears, waved her hand, and said dignifiedly, "Stand up, don't give me any gifts!"

Xie Empress! All the ministers stood up, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at her.

In the side door of the central hall, her young brother was looking at him in confusion. Although he had a sense of closeness in his eyes, after seeing her gaze, he also lowered his head silently in a low voice from the palace servant.

From then on, there was no home, only a country.

From then on, my kindness is far away and my kindness is heavy.

From then on, I was no longer the woman who made soup with bare hands and was shopping in the street market.

After the imperial grandson accepted the ceremony of the sacrificial ceremony, the capital caused a sensation. Just after the Chinese New Year, the people in the capital were fortunate to welcome the imperial grandson's wedding. The lively streets were even better than the Spring Festival.

The people join in the fun, and the ministers also want to join in. The nobles and ministers are racking their brains to offer some congratulations.

At this time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were poor, but the military generals were rich. Moreover, compared with civil officials, the military generals gave gifts without any scruples.

But how to give gifts and what to give is a profound knowledge.

Xicheng, Cao Guogong Mansion.

Li Jinglong kept pulling his hair in sorrow that he looked through the inner warehouse, but he couldn't find any suitable one. There were a lot of gold, silver and treasures in his house. The emperor rewarded a lot back then. When Li Jinglong's father Li Wenzhong fought south and north, he even robbed him... and pulled him home a lot.

What to give? Li Jinglong was sitting in front of the warehouse door and muttered to himself.

What's the difficulty? Li Jinglong's wife Deng said, "Just choose some gold and silver ware, it's just that kind of heart. Who can choose you?"

Vulgar! Li Jinglong said, "There are so little gold and silver in the palace? The crown prince's wedding is not only for His Royal Highness, but also for the old emperor!"

You are just too sensible! Deng said, "I heard that the Chang family did not give gifts to the palace, but instead gave the Zhao family a deed of hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Beijing." Otherwise, you should go to the Zhao family too?"

The Chang family is His Highness’s mother family. It’s up to others to give it to him. What’s the matter with us? Li Jinglong said impatiently, Besides, I am Your Highness’s close minister, so this gift is naturally different!

Take you to a nearby minister in Hangzhou once? Deng said with a smile, you are already a hereditary Duke, where can you get closer?

The Duke is just a title. If I don’t make progress, our son will only have a short title in the future. What’s the use? Li Jinglong said, and suddenly slapped his forehead. Madam, I remember your parents’ family has a picture of the hundred sons from the previous dynasty, right? As he said that, he smiled again. Your Highness got married, and the emperor was looking forward to having a great grandson. The hundred sons were the best. If you send them to him, you will definitely be satisfied!

Last time you touched my dowry, and this time you were going to hit my parents' home? Deng's eyebrows stand on his face and shameless!

Madam, isn’t this for our son? Li Jinglong held his wife’s hand and smiled, “You are wronged and wronged, just come back to your parents’ home. As he said that, he got closer and laughed in a low voice, “Your Highness and His Royal Highness and His Grand Prince are happy, can you forget me? Can you forget our son?

Deng's heart was relieved and gave Li Jinglong a blank look.

When our son grows up in the future, your highness will remember my good intentions. It’s not just my love for the house! Li Jinglong smirked a few times. Not to mention that we only have only one legitimate son. Even if there are seven or eight, we can’t stand being poor and have no future. As he said that, he got closer, put his wife’s forehead and smiled, “Madam, you see, we have fewer children, so it’s better to…………

You! Deng pointed at Li Jinglong with his finger and said angrily, there is a joke in Beijing. Everyone says that King Tang likes to pull things from his uncle's house the most. I think you are ridiculous than him. After all, he is pulling his uncle's house, and you are always thinking about taking advantage of your father-in-law!

The son-in-law is half a son, how can I take advantage of it? Li Jinglong smiled and said, Besides, my father-in-law is gone, and those good things can't be all cheap. Two brother-in-law aren't there!

At the same time, there are also people who have a headache about giving gifts.

In the west city of the capital, Lan Yu sat in the garden with a wine glass in her hand and pondered in secret.

Now Lan Yu is wearing a cloth clothes. After taking off the armor, she looks much older than before. The wind moves slightly, and the white hair on her temples sways. Moreover, there is no longer the passionate and heroic feeling of the past in his eyes, and it is a little more deserted.

To put it nicely, he thought about his mistakes behind closed doors, but not nicely, he was confined by the emperor and deprived of all honors. Even if the famous generals in battle were as strong as their hearts, they would inevitably feel depressed.

However, in this depressedness, only he knows whether there is any reluctance and complaints, secret hatred and complaints.

Father! The eldest son Lan Chun whispered across from the other side, his son felt that we should not want the grandson's wedding.........

I know the right way! Lan Yu's voice was cold. Now the Lan family is a family of guilt, not a time to show loyalty. But His Royal Highness is not someone else, but my blood relative. He was the one I grew up watching, and his mother is my niece. I regard it as my own daughter!

When he got married, I, an elder, could not go there. I am sorry for the old prince and the old princess. If I didn’t even have any courtesy, how could I go to see them if I die?

Lan Chun lowered her head, father, be cautious.........

How can you be cautious? You just add a little joy to Your Highness’s wedding, so you are not cautious. As he said that, Lan Yu glanced at his son with a squinted look. Are you so cautious, are you afraid that you will be implicated by you and will ruin your future?

The son dared not! Lan Chun knelt down quickly, father, but His Highness once told him......

OK! Lan Yu waved his hand impatiently. I am the uncle, and the emperor would not choose to give me a gift! As he said that, he continued, follow me to open the secret warehouse in my room!

The aristocratic families all have secret warehouses, containing the most precious things in the family. As the eldest son of the Lan family, Lan Chun is also entering the secret warehouse for the first time.

There was no servant, only the two of them. The dark warehouse was dark and gloomy, but the light of the torch passed by, and golden light shone. Before he knew it, Lan Chun was stunned. Unexpectedly, he had so many treasures in his Lan family.

When the cannon fired, there were tens of thousands of taels of gold. Lan Yu walked to the end of the dark warehouse and stopped fighting on his belt. Isn’t it just for wealth? Then, he pointed to an inconspicuous box under his feet and opened it!

Yes! Lan Chun nodded.

Maybe it was because it had been stored for a long time, and the box was covered with dust. Lan Chun opened it carefully and immediately took a breath of air conditioning. Hiss! This is!

There was no gold, silver and treasure in the box, but the light emitted almost illuminated half of the dark library. Lan Chun blinked a few times, adapted to the dazzling light in front of her, and looked down.

Father, is this... Golden Armor?

A pair of exquisite armor lies in the box, wrapped in the golden helmet, the golden dragon's arm guards and leg guards. Among the golden fish scales, a round heart guard mirror is embedded, which looks like a mirror.

Well, this is your father and me, the most precious thing. Take it and give it to Your Highness!

Lan Chun's fingers fell on the cold golden armor and kept rubbing. Father, whose armor is this?

Lan Yu smiled slightly, the original owner Tuogusi Timur!

Ah? Lan Chun was immediately scared, Emperor Tianyuan’s imperial armor?

Emperor Tianyuan, Tuogusi Temur, was the second son of Emperor Shun of Yuan. In the battle of Fisher Sea, a horse beaten by the Ming Dynasty fled, and all the concubines and ministers were captured.

Although he was the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he was also the emperor.

Father, this is a transgression! Lan Chun said in horror.

I'm not wearing anything, why are you traiting? Lan Yu said angrily, why are you so mother-in-law?
