In the afternoon, He Yunxiao wanted to find Chu Chu to go shopping with him and buy a dowry for Sister Jiang. I didn't see Master Chu Chu for one day and missed her.

But He Yunxiao then thought about it. If he took Chu Chu to buy a dowry for another woman, was it too much to bully her into not understanding this?

He Yunxiao thought about it and decided to forget it. He wouldn't bully her anymore and would go and play with her when he had time tomorrow.

Not only Chu Chu, but also Nanzhu's wife made way for Sister Jiang today. He Yunxiao, who originally went to the palace at night every day, chose to go to the palace in the afternoon to take medicine today. He was afraid that he would be too busy at night and would not have time to enter the palace.

After leaving the palace, He Yunxiao found a fleet of carriages, and then rushed to major stores and shopping malls in Yin Jing to buy a dowry for Sister Jiang.

There are many types of dowries for women in Qi State.

The simplest thing is for women from poor families, who usually pull a few feet of cloth and put a bag of grain in it, which is the entire dowry.

Women from merchant families are more particular. Money, fields, shops, paintings and calligraphy, etc., can all be used as dowries.

As for the dowry of women from the royal family and nobles, it is more complicated. They are bound by etiquette, and they do not just give whatever they want or as much as they want.

It is even possible to say that the dowry of a royal princess is not as large as the dowry of a merchant girl. But generally no one would do this. Doing so would be a slap in the face of the royal family and cost them their lives.

Although He Yunxiao is rich, he cannot buy randomly when buying a dowry for Sister Jiang.

Yellow and red in colors, including dragons, phoenixes and other patterns in patterns should be avoided.

The specific amount of dowry must also be controlled.

The total betrothal gift given to Nanzhu by the Hou Mansion was approximately fifty thousand taels, among which some of the rare treasures given by the late emperor could not be counted or measured.

With the betrothal gift of 50,000 taels as a base, Meng's dowry for Nanzhu would also be at least 50,000 taels.

According to normal procedures, Nanzhu's status here is that she is the confirmed wife, so no matter who comes in the future, the dowry cannot exceed this amount.

He Yunxiao worked all afternoon and spent 15,000 taels. Adding in the 10,000 taels for Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang's dowry now reached 25,000 taels.

It’s almost halfway to Nanzhu, so I can’t buy any more.

Twenty-five thousand taels is not much for He Yunxiao now. Daqi Bank can get it. Of course, what the money will be used for, you have to seek the symbolic consent of Sister Du.

Twenty-five thousand taels was not much to He Yunxiao, but to ordinary people it was an astronomical figure.

Suppose you are a waiter working in a tavern, with food and accommodation included, and you earn two taels of silver per month. You can only earn 2 taels of silver in a year, 24 taels of silver in ten years, and 240 taels in a hundred years.

Ten taels of silver. Only one thousand years can earn 2,400 taels of silver.

If you want to earn 25,000 taels from part-time work, you have to work for more than 10,400 years.

To change another unit of measurement, when an ordinary sixth- or seventh-grade official in Yinjing marries a woman, the maximum dowry required is a few hundred taels. When it reaches the level of earl or marquis, the dowry will reach more than a thousand taels. For powerful marquis or duke families, the dowry will be married to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Only women would raise the betrothal gift to nearly ten thousand taels.

For a powerful but inexperienced Houfu like Wu Qing, wanting to double Nanzhu's dowry and spend 100,000 taels or even hundreds of thousands taels to marry Xiaoyue is simply an act of draining the family's wealth just to get a wife.

Therefore, the 25,000 taels that He Yunxiao gave to Sister Jiang was already an extremely exaggerated dowry arrangement. The entire Qi Kingdom could not compare with the two eldest princesses, plus those legitimate daughters of aristocratic families with profound backgrounds and wealth. For example, Jiangnan Li

Li Qingmeng, who only borrowed 10,000 taels of money, is really not as good as him.

Apart from that, they are above ten thousand people.

Just look at the dowry convoy, more than twenty carriages, holding torches under the Yinjing night, lining up from the street of Chunfeng Tower to the end of the street, brightly lit, majestic and magnificent.

…

Jiang Wuyou still didn't know what the noise outside the house was because of. She was concentrating on putting on makeup in her boudoir.

She is naturally beautiful and seldom needs to put on makeup, even less so. The last time she did this was when she attended the birthday of the Queen Mother.

But today, for Jiang Wuyou, it was more important than attending the Queen Mother's birthday.

Although she couldn't wear a wedding dress or ride in a sedan chair, and no one wore flowers and rode on a high horse to pick her up, today was actually the day she went to meet her "parents-in-law."

Let’s not talk about today, but whether we can marry He Yunxiao in the future still depends to a large extent on the wishes of the Lord and his wife.

I met him for the first time today, and I can't be careless at all.

The clothes couldn't match the red wedding dress, so I chose light yellow, which also represents warm colors. Not only does it make people look warm, but light colors also make people look younger.

Jiang Wuyou's makeup did not include heavy makeup, but light makeup and light powder. Even the lip paper did not want red, and also used a youthful pink.

Jiang Wuyou's skin, figure, and appearance are terrifying heroine-level configurations. Although she is twenty-five years old, her skin is not that old at all. She usually looks younger just from her appearance. It's just that

It is the temperament that appears mature.

Now she is getting ready to dress up, making Jiang Wuyou look similar to a girl under twenty. Except for her different body shape, there is nothing wrong with her.

He Yunxiao came to call Sister Jiang to go downstairs and sit in the sedan chair, but was shocked as soon as she entered the door.

Is this still my sister Jiang?

"Sister, when you put on makeup, you look ten years younger!"

Jiang Wuyou usually doesn't wear makeup, but that doesn't mean she can't draw. As an outstanding student of the Women's Academy, Jiang Wuyou is also very accomplished in makeup. At least there is no problem in dressing up He Yunxiao as a woman.

Seeing He Yunxiao say this, Jiang Wuyou frowned slightly, "Am I usually that old?"

He Yunxiao was stunned and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, my sister is usually very good, but now she is a bit too..."

Jiang Wuyou said: "What?"

"I don't know if sister has ever heard of an adjective." He Yunxiao said embarrassedly.

"Say it."

"Child-like face and big breasts."

Jiang Wuyou's pretty face turned red and he scolded on the spot: "Pervert! His head is full of bad things!"

He Yunxiao smiled and said: "I'm full of breasts, no, all I think about is a lady."

Now that he had plenty of time, He Yunxiao simply came to Jiang Wuyou, hugged her body, and said good things. "Madam, you are so beautiful today."

Based on Jiang Wuyou's understanding of He Yunxiao, he must have bad intentions by pestering him like this.

"Xiao'er, please don't move. It took a lot of effort for me to...well..."

With his waist being hugged, there was no way he could escape. Jiang Wuyou was thinking about the makeup he had finally put on, and hit He Yunxiao with his pink fist as hard as he could.

I kept hitting my fists, but then I forgot to hit them.

First, he clenched his fist and placed it on He Yunxiao's chest, then relaxed his fist and turned it into a palm against his chest.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Wuyou sat in front of the dressing table again, picked up the lip paper and touched up her makeup.

He Yunxiao pointed beside him.

"Madam, this color is beautiful, and it looks delicious at first glance."
