Chapter 15 Dowry
Rong Jinchen looked at Su Zhenzhen and smiled foolishly. When he saw her teasing look, he quickly stood up and walked towards her.
Holding her hand, touching her slightly cool, smooth skin like cream, he frowned, his voice worried and gentle.
He stared at her outfit, "Qingqing, why don't you put on a cloak? What if you catch a cold?"
He hurriedly picked up his white fox fur cloak with a colorful blue lotus pattern and put it on Su Zhenzhen.
This was what Gu Heng reminded him in the morning, that this was a chance to show His Highness's thoughtfulness.
Su Zhenzhen pouted her chubby lips and looked at him with moist peach blossom eyes, "I just want you to feel sorry for me."
She would never say that it was because she lacked yang energy that her hands and feet were cold in spring and winter.
And she was dressed quite warmly, so she definitely wouldn't joke about her body in ancient times.
The temperature is a little low in the morning, it will be nice when the sun comes out.
Rong Jinchen pinched her nose lovingly, "I really can't do anything with you."
Others: (￢_￢)
Hello, hey, hey!
They are still here!
Your Highness Prince Yan, are you going too far?
The Minister of Rites secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. How come this His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is so different from the expressionless Prince of Yan who looked like a flower on the mountain?
If he lived in modern times, he would know the term "love brain".
Unfortunately he is not.
But he looked at His Royal Highness Prince Yan and Miss Su, who were a perfect match, and it was pleasing to the eye.
It’s a pity for that kid Ci Jing.
The Su family returned all the engagement gifts yesterday afternoon.
When he got off duty yesterday, he happened to go to his house with the Minister of Rites to have tea.
After seeing the gifts returned by the Su family, he also learned that the eldest daughter of Su, the Grand Secretary and Minister of Revenue, was married to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan as his princess.
The expression on Ci Jing's face is so unbearable that it's hard to bear to watch...
All he could say was, "It's fate!"
Miss Su had never met His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan before.
The rumor in the capital was that His Royal Highness Prince Yan fell in love with Miss Su at first sight on his way back to the capital after a triumphant victory.
It’s really good to have an emperor as your father.
Tsk.
Because the marriage was granted by imperial decree, steps in the six rituals could be omitted.
But Rong Jinchen was unwilling to omit it, so yesterday he asked his father to hurriedly call the Minister of Rites into the palace to prepare the betrothal gifts.
At the beginning of the year, Xie Cijing personally hunted a wild goose and brought it to the Su Mansion. He and Su Zhenzhen's fans became famous in the streets and alleys.
All we can say is that the atmosphere is open, and the real names of the people involved were not written, so it is not a big deal.
After Rong Jinchen returned home yesterday, he didn't sleep all night and only hunted a pair of wild geese this morning.
Su Zhenzhen and Xie Cijing's wedding date was set after the Dragon Boat Festival, which was less than two months away.
The date for the imperial decree to grant the marriage was set on the sixth day of June.
The marriage process for princes in this dynasty is too complicated, and it may take one or two years to wait.
But Rong Jinchen was unwilling and kept asking his father to set the date three months later.
What else could the emperor do?
I changed the date reluctantly.
Anyway, it is the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Clan Affairs that are worried, it has nothing to do with him.
After some tedious formalities.
The Minister of Rites sang: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan's betrothal gifts are a pair of live geese, ten jade ruyi handles of various colors, five thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pieces of cloud brocade..."
The annual salary of a prince in this dynasty is 20,000 taels and 10,000 dan of rice.
The betrothal gift prepared by the Ministry of Rites for the prince was one hundred taels of gold and nine thousand taels of silver.
The total amount was a betrothal gift worth ten thousand taels, as well as various silks and satins from the palace.
Rong Jinchen is a legitimate prince, and his betrothal gift is three times that of an ordinary prince, which is 30,000 taels.
However, the list of betrothal gifts sung by the Minister of Rites included a full 150,000 taels of silver, which was far beyond the standard for a prince.
The entire wedding process of Crown Prince Rong Jinyou only cost 200,000 taels.
And the betrothal gift to the Crown Princess is not that much.
The emperor privately subsidized Rong Jinchen with 100,000 taels. These were his only legitimate sons. What was wrong with an old father spending some money on his son's marriage?
All of this came from his private vault.
The Minister of Rites read for a long time, and he felt his heart trembling. How could His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan be so rich?
The prince didn't spend so much money to marry the princess!
The only betrothal gift their Ministry of Rites prepared was 30,000 taels of silver!
I've heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is very good at making money, and His Majesty must have also been secretly supporting his own son...
But the second legitimate son’s wedding has caused such a stir, does His Majesty really have no other thoughts?
But this doesn't make sense.
Your Majesty has written an imperial decree to allow Prince Yan to be single for the rest of his life. Doesn't this obviously kick him out of the fight for the throne?
Emperor Rong Yue indeed thought so. His second legitimate son had made outstanding military achievements and was also a legitimate son.
The princess he married was the eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Revenue, and her capital in competing for the throne was comparable to that of the crown prince.
In order to avoid fratricide among his compatriots and because he truly loved his son Rong Jinchen, he so quickly agreed to his request to have only one woman in his life.
A prince who does not want to marry into other forces will not be involved in the struggle for the throne.
He hoped that his son, whom he had spoiled since childhood and whom he was proud of, would be safe and healthy.
Rong Jinchen naturally knew what his father was thinking, and he was unwilling to compete with his second brother, the Crown Prince.
Just in time for you and your beloved to grow old together (=^▽^=)
The Minister of Rites sang the list of betrothal gifts for a full quarter of an hour, and his throat was almost smoking.
The servant of the Su Mansion handed him warm tea with great tact, and he swallowed it down in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The Su family was dumbfounded...
Su Zhenzhen looked at Rong Jinchen with shining eyes. She had found a top-notch tall, rich and handsome man!
So rich!
No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Her monthly salary is only 500 taels.
The wealth accumulated by her Su family over generations is more than two million taels, and the annual income and expenditure are more than enough to rely on the income from the farm and shops.
As a married woman, the dowry she could get was 50% of the family property, which she shared equally with her second brother.
The other 50% belongs to her eldest brother Su Jun. She can get a dowry of 500,000 taels, and she will never have to worry about food and drink in her life.
Her dowry was naturally to be kept for herself and her children, and marrying Rong Jinchen would of course mean spending his money!
If you don't spend your husband's money, there will be other women to help you spend it. She is not that stupid!
Rong Jinchen looked at her eyes that were as bright as stars, raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, looked at her straight and said: "After you get married, I will let you manage all the money." I'm sorry for letting you suffer any injustice.
He will be a prince all his life, and the scale of his wedding cannot exceed that of the crown prince, so he can only make up for Qingqing's betrothal gift in private.
Su Zhenzhen saw his guilt, so she didn't feel wronged. Her fair cheeks were stained with shyness. "Thank you, Your Highness."
I understand.
Her wet eyes looked at Rong Jinchen with admiration.

Su Qiyang, his two sons, were chatting with the Minister of Rites, while Su Zhenzhen's mother and sisters-in-law went shopping early in the morning.
Rong Jinchen bent down and whispered to Su Zhenzhen. The young couple was very affectionate and had endless things to say to each other.
After the Minister of Rites left, Rong Jinchen had breakfast with Su Zhenzhen.
The Su family man left on his own accord...
This sour smell of love, they miss their wives...
