Chapter 1018 The heart couldn't help but tremble.

Chapter 1018 The heart couldn't help but tremble.

Shen Xia then asked: "What is Sister Zi Yan's favorite snack?"

Zheng Jinshu: "Before, it was the jade cream from Qiao Su Zhai, and now it's the oil-flavored sugar-filled rice cake from Yue Xiang Fang."

Shen Xia saw Gu Ziyan continue to nod.

Then he asked, "Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, what does Sister Ziyan like the most?"

This is a little more difficult, what if you don’t like it?

In fact, Shen Xia just picked the name randomly.

What is the purpose of doing this?

If Zheng Jinshu answered correctly, then Sister Zi Yan should also be able to see it clearly.

Zheng Jinshu's feelings for her were not what he said, that he just needed her help.

Then Zheng Jinshu said, "Chrysanthemum, Sister Ziyan said that among all flowers, only chrysanthemum blooms in autumn and does not compete with other flowers for beauty."

Shen Xia looked at Gu Ziyan.

Gu Ziyan was stunned.

This is......

I can answer any question.

Gu Ziyan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Is there something she doesn't even remember telling him?

Could it be that he remembered every word I said? Why is that?

When Shen Xia saw Gu Ziyan's expression, she knew that she had achieved her goal.

Then he said to the people outside, "Congratulations, you got all the answers right," and then there was a cheer.

Shen Xia opened the door.

Fortunately, I dodged in time, otherwise I would have been knocked down.

Then, a group of people rushed into the door.

Shen Xia looked at Zheng Jinshu: "These are your friends."

Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Then he looked at the person on the ground and said, "Hurry up and get up."

Zheng Jinshu looked for his bride everywhere as soon as she came in.

Then look at the bride sitting on the left.

Can't see the true face.

Because it was blocked by the golden fan in front.

Zheng Jinshu stepped forward.

"Sister Ziyan, I'm here to pick you up."

As he said this, he wanted to take a look at her true appearance from the side.

The people around him laughed: "The groom is anxious, why should he be anxious? After today, the house will be his own, and he can see as much as he wants."

Gu Ziyan also came in at this time.

Standing next to Shen Xia: "Did I bump into you just now?"

Shen Xia smiled and said, "No, I'm so smart, I must have foresight!"

Gu Ziyan curled her lips: "Very confident."

"That is."

Gu Zizhan looked at Zheng Jinshu and said a few auspicious words.

Then Gu Zizhan said: "I'm going over there,"

"Well, go ahead! Don't worry about me."

The next thing is that Gu Zizhan, as the younger brother, carries his sister on his back to the Flower Bridge.

Unlike modern times, at that time the groom would carry the bride into the car.

Instead, my brother carried me up the Huaqiao Bridge.

Nowadays, marriages are held together by both the man and the woman.

The bride's relatives have a drink at the bride's home.

The relatives of the groom have a drink at the groom's house.

Gu Zizhan, carrying Gu Ziyan on his back, paused at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Until the ceremonial master said, "The auspicious time has arrived, let's go up the flower bridge."

Gu Zizhan then stepped out of the door.

In this era, some people pick up their brides at the front door.

Just wait for the bride's brothers to carry the bride out.

Others would simply send someone to pick her up and greet her as she got off the bridge at the gate of their own house.

Therefore, people like Zheng Jinshu who come directly to the door to pick up the goods are still a minority.

But he values ​​his wife very much.

And Gu Ziyan also believed in Zheng Jinshu very much, he really gave her all the respect.

Exactly the same thing he said before.

Shen Xia and her friends had originally planned to have a banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion.

But Zheng Jinshu invited them to a banquet at Zheng's house.

It’s a good opportunity for me to stay in the room with Sister Zi Yan.

So that she wouldn't be bored alone.

And Gu Ziyan also let them go.

Shen Xia thought about it for a final moment.

It seems pretty good.

In the end, Shen Xia, Su Yao and Xia Shuran all went to Zheng's house.

Shen Xia asked Tu Chenyu to go with her.

But she said her elder brother was here, so she didn't go.

Shen Xia told Song Jiang.

So he went to Zheng's house.

Shen Xia and the others sat together in a carriage.

Following behind the wedding procession.

There was no end to this wedding procession.

Because Zheng Jinshu got off forty-eight machines.

Then, before Gu Ziyan's wedding, there were not enough forty-eight carriages, only more than twenty.

Prince Rui added twenty more loads.

The dowry is equal to the amount of the betrothal gift.

Shen Xia looked and saw a coffin following behind.

He looked at Xia Shuran in confusion: "What does this mean?"

How could there be a coffin?

Xia Shuran smiled and said, "Sister Xia Xia, haven't you seen this before? When a respectable family in the capital marries off their daughter, they will prepare everything, from the girl's marriage to the things she will need when she dies, all of which are complete, including the coffin for her final resting place."

"It symbolizes that the bride does not need to rely on her husband's family from birth to death, and reflects the deep care and support of her parents' family for their daughter."

"In addition, the coffin also symbolizes the bride's status and role in her husband's family. Although marriage means a transition from her parents' home to her husband's home, the coffin in the dowry shows that the bride remains independent and autonomous in her new family."

"This custom protects the rights of the bride in her husband's family to a certain extent, ensuring that she has enough confidence and security in her marriage."

Moreover, at this time, the dowry from the woman's family is the woman's private property, so no matter how much the dowry is, it doesn't matter.

For example, the Pei family had touched Gu Ziyan's dowry before, and if this were to be told to others, it would be considered as something that would stab them in the back.

Of course, no matter which era it is, there are always families of the bride who accept a small dowry or even no dowry, and there are also families who give a very high dowry.

However, at this time, for a marriage between people of equal social status, the dowry from the woman's family would not be higher than the betrothal gift from the man, otherwise it would be an embarrassment to the man's family.

So, in order to ensure their daughter's happiness this time, Prince Rui's Mansion supplemented her dowry, but it did not exceed forty-eight loads.

In fact, Gu Ziyan herself is rich and originally wanted to prepare the same dowry.

As a result, King Rui disagreed, saying that it was impossible for a daughter to pay her own dowry.

But Gu Ziyan felt that she was married for the second time.

It’s okay to go out by yourself.

She doesn't want her parents to go out.

My future younger brother and sister-in-law have objections.

Later, it was the Crown Prince's Consort Fang Huayi who personally spoke to Gu Ziyan and asked the palace to provide the funds.

Finally, Gu Ziyan saw that she couldn't object.

I can only agree.

But she will provide for her parents later.

Shen Xia listened to Xia Shuran's explanation.

understood.

It seems that it is the same in every era. If you want to be decent, you still have to spend money to build a road.

Otherwise, if you don't do anything well, and still want others to respect you, unless you are lucky, it really depends on your ability.

Shen Xia's carriage was originally at the back.

Then I heard someone in front of me say, "Princess, our master asks your carriage to go forward."

Shen Xia lifted the curtain.

Looking at the servant beside the carriage.

This is Zheng Jinshu's personal servant.

"it is good."

Next, Shen Xia and her companions' carriage rushed forward.

It took about half an hour to walk.

I just arrived at Zheng Mansion. Actually, Prince Rui’s Mansion is not very far from Zheng Mansion, but because it’s a wedding, I have to take a detour!

Shen Xia couldn't help but complain in her heart, who stipulated that marriages have to go through a lot of twists and turns!

Don't you have to take a shortcut?

It always feels like taking a detour is just like marriage also has to take a detour.

Of course, this is just Shen Xia’s own thought.

Finally arrived at the door.

Zheng Jinshu welcomed Gu Ziyan down.

Gu Ziyan has a flat chest and holds a golden fan.

People are attracted by the exquisite fan in their hands at first sight.

Then when the bride passed by, everyone was stunned by her beauty.

Some people have seen Gu Ziyan before, why didn’t they realize how beautiful she is before?

Of course there was a person not far away in the crowd who shouldn't be there.

That person was Pei Yuanqi.
