Chapter 317 Shock
In popular stories, Zhou Qing can be regarded as a little sparrow that flies on a branch and turns into a phoenix.
This marriage has been talked about for a long time.
We got married today, and there were quite a few people watching.
Shen Mingzhu was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the red lanterns at the door of Zhou's house not far away and the bustle in front of her, with a cold feeling in her eyes.
"Miss, look at what these are doing. No matter how arrogant Zhou Huaishan is, he is still a rich man. How big can the wedding scene be?
He was so exhausted that Hu Weiyue, Minister of the Ministry of War, came to support him. He was considered to be the top family member in this marriage.
It doesn't have to be shabby.
Look at these people in front of you. They are all poor people, all here to grab money for the wedding.
In a few days, when you marry His Highness the Second Prince, the scene will be lively.
The servant heard from the madam that your dowry is guaranteed to be the only share of anyone who has ever done it before or since in Kyoto.
The servant quietly looked at the guest list listed by the lady. Almost the entire aristocratic circle in Kyoto was invited.
Guaranteed big scene.
I'm afraid there are dozens of ladies who add makeup to you alone, not counting your private friends. "
While the maid was talking, Shen Mingzhu kept staring at the Zhou family's gate.
A middle-aged man who looked similar to Zhou Huaishan, wearing a happy robe with a smile on his face, stood at the door and ordered people to set off firecrackers.
Apart from that, there is no one at the door who looks like the master.
Indeed, there were no guests to add makeup.
Ah!
So what if she married Shen Li, it would be a joke that would be looked down upon.
A pheasant is a pheasant, how can it be compared to a phoenix?
The anger that had humiliated Zhou Qing before seemed to be half gone at this moment.
Shen Mingzhu sneered and was about to lower the car curtain and leave when suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd. She couldn't help but follow the sound and turned her head to look, and saw Shi Yuexin in the distance.
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and suddenly laughed with gloating.
She knew that Shi Yuexin couldn't give up so easily.
"Give way, give way."
Shi Yuexin's men shouted at the top of their lungs and struggled to open a path. Shi Yuexin was dressed in red, with a bright smile on her face, riding boots on her feet, and walked briskly towards the door.
Zhou Huailin hurriedly greeted him.
Shi Yuexin was afraid that people would not recognize her, so she introduced herself with a smile, "My name is Shi Yuexin, I am from the Minister of Etiquette. I am here to add makeup to Zhou Qing."
As she spoke, she waved her hand.
A boy came from behind carrying a box.
The mahogany box was tied with large red silk flowers, which looked particularly festive.
Others add makeup, that is, add one or two items. This is the first time I have seen someone directly carry a box and add another box.
And this person is still Shi Yuexin!
The crowd of onlookers suddenly became noisy.
Shen Mingzhu was sitting in the carriage, looking a little gloomy.
She looked at the man wearing a happy robe at the door and said something to Shi Yuexin. Shi Yuexin was happy for a long time, then asked someone to put the box against the wall, and then turned around and entered the courtyard.
"Miss, what does this mean?"
Shen Mingzhu's maid looked in front of her, a little confused.
Shen Mingzhu had a sullen face and said angrily: "Ask me how I know, go and find out!"
The maid shrank her neck and hurriedly got out of the car, but after a moment, she turned back with a bad look on her face.
"They said they couldn't fit it in the yard, so they put it at the door."
As soon as the maid said these words, Shen Mingzhu's eyes suddenly twitched.
Can’t place it in the yard?
This yard is obviously very big!
Isn't this humiliating? Did that idiot Shi Yuexin put the box at the door so happily?
this.
I'm afraid Shi Yuexin is out of her mind.
Just when Shen Mingzhu was angry, firecrackers suddenly exploded over there.
There was a crackle, and suddenly the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
As the smoke filled the air, Shen Mingzhu saw the door of Zhou's house slowly open, and two young men in wedding clothes came out carrying a big box.
There is a custom in Kyoto.
When a bride gets married, her dowry comes first.
Big boxes were carried out one after another. Shen Mingzhu knew that Zhou Huaishan had packed 200 golden nanmu boxes before, so she expected Zhou Qing's dowry to be rich.
I just didn't expect it.
As the Zhou family's two hundred dowry boxes were carried out, someone at the door shouted loudly: "Yongning Marquis Mansion, add more dowry, twenty loads!"
Following this shout, the servant from the Yongning Hou Mansion came out, carrying twenty dowry boxes, followed by the servant from the Zhou family.
"Prince Ning's Mansion, add more makeup and lift it ten times!"
The servants from Prince Ning's Mansion came out carrying ten loads of dowry.
As soon as Shen Mingzhu heard the words "Prince Ning's Mansion", her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot and she almost couldn't breathe.
How could Prince Ning’s Mansion add makeup to a bitch like Zhou Qing!
Didn’t Zhou Qing ruin the face of Prince Ning’s prince?
Isn’t this an enemy?
Why!
She has admired the eldest son of Prince Ning for so long, and now, the eldest son has come to add makeup to Zhou Qing!
Shen Mingzhu felt as if her heart had been burst by firecrackers.
"Wang Jin adds makeup, fifteen lifts!"
"Additional makeup to the Great Buddha Temple, fifteen lifts!"
Shen Mingzhu's eyes, which were already wide open, almost burst open in an instant.
Big Buddha Temple?
Add makeup?
What to add? Incense?
this.
It's such a big Buddhist temple, why come here to add makeup to Zhou Qing!
Fifteen more were added!
Are you sick?
Sitting in the sedan chair, Shen Mingzhu felt that she was about to explode on the spot.
"Qingyang Marquis Mansion, add more makeup, ten lifts!"
"Uncle Yunqing's Mansion, add makeup and carry out five lifts!"
"Lidehou's Mansion, add more makeup, ten lifts!"
"Coach of the Northwest Army, Xu Ningyuan, add more makeup, twenty lifts!"
As the man at the door shouted the count, the dowry was carried out like free water from a well, and walked onto the street accompanied by festive noises.
Shen Mingzhu sat in the sedan chair, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Beside her, the maidservant wanted to open her mouth several times to comfort her, but she was so exhausted that she couldn't say a word.
When her young lady gets married, she will definitely not put on so much makeup.
Are these people crazy?
Why adding makeup is like ransacking a house!
How many boxes of these are you giving away?
What does it matter? This is all!
Don’t you only get one or two items for extra makeup?
Have the customs in Kyoto changed?
In order to prevent her young lady from vomiting blood directly, the little maid was good at making decisions, lowered the curtains of the carriage, and ordered the coachman to leave.
However, it was too late.
Because the dowry procession was so huge, they couldn't get out at all.
I could only watch helplessly as the flowing dowry boxes were carried out. It took two full hours before the door of Zhou's house was clear.
However, even though they were finally cleared, their carriage still couldn't get out.
Shen Li arrived with a mighty shadow army.
After finally waiting until all these people entered the Zhou family gate, Shen Mingzhu felt as if his body had been hollowed out, Ao had drained the last drop of blood, and his whole body was paralyzed against the wall of the carriage.
"How could this happen? If she gets married like this, what should I do if I get married in a few days?"
Are you being compared to the point where you are not even a scumbag?
