Chapter 66
"This Lord Jia is really rich."
"How can he be so rich, he's too generous!"
"This Qin girl and the whole Qin family have really struck gold; this must be a blessing from eight lifetimes!"
Neighbors and passersby whispered, shocked and envious!
This made both Jia Hui's side and Qin Zhong's side proud and in a great mood!
People, after all!
Isn't what one seeks in these few decades of life just fame and fortune!
Now, what he wanted was this glory and this face!
Awesome!
Although Jia Yun already knew, his voice trembled slightly with excitement as he read the gift list: "Betrothal cakes, one load!"
"Eight types of seafood: abalone, dried oysters, scallops, dried mushrooms, dried shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, shark fin, fish maw, and hair moss, two packs each."
"Three types of livestock, two pairs of chickens, two roosters and two hens; three to five catties of pork, cut into two pieces, symbolizing sincerity and respect."
"One mud carp, with head and tail, symbolizing abundance every year!"
"One box of fruit, symbolizing vitality... 0"
When he read this part.
The young girls all blushed, and the older men all smirked.
"Four types of Prince Prince Beijing fruits, one box each, symbolizing that the Jia and Qin families will have prosperous descendants, fullness and happiness, and endless generations."
"Four types of candies, symbolizing sweetness and growing old together."
"And fine wine, incense, gold bracelets, two dou of rice, red bean ropes, red envelopes, betrothal money, gold jewelry, dragon and phoenix candles, a box of jewelry, ginseng supplements, and a pair of couplets......"
Jia Yun then read for a full half hour.
This was because he kept saying auspicious and beautiful meanings for each item.
But the main reason was that there were too many things!
The numerous betrothal gifts!
Not only dazzled Qin Zhong and the others.
The neighbors and passersby felt dizzy!
How much money must this be!
An astronomical figure!
At least tens of thousands of taels of silver!
The fact was indeed so!
A total of fifty thousand taels of silver as betrothal gifts!
Equivalent to hundreds of millions in modern times!
Completely inhumane!
"Sister, brother-in-law, please come in!"
"Come in, you must be thirsty; someone, brew tea for my brother-in-law, the best kind!"
Qin Zhong was so excited that he almost fainted.
He had never thought that Jia Hui would send so many gifts.
Originally, they had thought.
It would be good if Jia Hui could give three to five hundred taels of silver as betrothal gifts!
After all, Jia Hui was penniless before.
Now he had been promoted, but it hadn't been long.
They never expected there would be so much!
Tens of thousands of taels!
Even the Ning and Rong Prefectures couldn't possibly come up with it!
The Ning and Rong Prefectures did indeed have this money!
But taking it out would basically empty the two prefectures, which were already struggling to make ends meet!
Therefore, it was impossible to use it all as betrothal gifts.
Even when Li Wan and Seeing Seeing Fengjie got married, the betrothal gifts they received were only a few thousand taels of silver.
And that was a few years ago, when the Rongguo Prefecture still had some money.
And their two families also sent a lot of dowry!
Of course.
The cost of the entire wedding was not just the betrothal gifts; other expenses, such as the wedding banquet, added up to ten thousand taels.
But compared to Jia Hui, the difference was huge!
Jia Hui's scale was something not even an Imperial Prince's wedding had!
It might not be unprecedented in the entire Great Great Great Qian.
But it was definitely one of the best!
Without a doubt!
Jia Hui's luxurious betrothal gifts would definitely spread throughout the city at the most astonishing speed!
And then sweep across the country!
Not an exaggeration at all!
Jia Hui, full of glory, led by Qin Zhong, entered the Qin family residence with his people!
He met the upright and honest Qin Ye!
And Qin Qin Qin Keqing was hiding behind the screen!
"Jia Hui pays respects to my father-in-law!"
"Today, I specifically bring betrothal gifts!"
[76] (7) See Qin Qin Qin Keqing and get Diaochan! Qin Qin Qin Banruo, Lord, you are in great danger now
Qin family main hall!
Qin Ye was glowing, and after seeing Jia Hui, he happily exclaimed: "Good son-in-law, good worthy son-in-law!"
Regarding the commotion just now, servants had actually been reporting it constantly.
The news of Jia Hui's tens of thousands of taels of betrothal gifts.
Both he and Qin Qin Qin Keqing knew about it.
They were incredibly excited and happy!
"You are too extravagant, too extravagant."
"This is only right."
"Father-in-law, Qin Qin Keqing is a national beauty, naturally beautiful, and gentle and peaceful in her actions. Being able to marry her is Hui's blessing."
Jia Hui said with a smile.
These words made not only Qin Ye happy.
Qin Qin Qin Keqing, hiding behind the screen, was also incredibly joyful!
Jia Hui looked over with a sense of intuition!
His eyes were as hot as the midday sun!
"My lady!"
Although he couldn't see clearly through the screen.
But the figure of the beautiful shadow was perfect!
Previously, praising Yan Shi for being able to bear ten children.
It is a bit of an exaggeration.
It is about seven or eight.
This is already very good, it is good if ordinary women can have one or two.
Look at Qin Qin Qin Keqing’s, it is really enough to hold ten little babies!
Hey!
And can add one more of myself!
Jia Hui smiled satisfactorily.
And the beautiful shadow behind the screen trembled violently.
There was an urge to run out immediately!
And meet Jia Hui.
But years of etiquette told her.
A woman who has not left the boudoir and has not married cannot meet a male outsider.
And it is already this time.
It doesn't matter if it takes a little more time.
Wouldn't it be better and more memorable to meet on the wedding night?
So Qin Qin Qin Keqing resisted the urge to rush out and meet Jia Hui.
But she spoke!
Across the screen.
Qin Qin Qin Keqing’s hair was tied into a beautiful bun, her eyebrows were Love Love Like paintings, her cheeks were white and greasy, perhaps because she had just bathed, her jade face was flushed, and her peach-red skin was Love Love Like it could squeeze out water.
Her appearance was Love Love Like the moon, and her natural character was clear.
Her body was Love Love Like a swallow hiding in a willow, and her voice was Love Love Like an oriole singing in the forest.
Worthy of the name of a beauty, "Husband!"
"I... I have missed you so much during this time."
After saying this.
Her beautiful face was already red beyond recognition!
At this time, Jia Hui looked surprised!
[Congratulations to the host for signing in Qin Ye, rewarded with 20 Xuzhou troops]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in Qin Zhong, rewarded with 10 Xuzhou troops]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in Qin Qin Qin Keqing successfully! Rewarded with Diaochan, one of the four beauties!]
Qin Qin Qin Keqing behind the screen mistakenly thought that Jia Hui was surprised because of her, although there was indeed an element of that.
Qin Qin Qin Keqing felt even more shy.
Without summoning Diaochan, Jia Hui laughed loudly: "I have also been thinking about you day and night during this time, and when I was killing Tatars, I was thinking about finishing the killing as soon as possible so I could marry you, my wife."
"Good wife, please wait a few more days."
"Your husband will marry you into the house!"
Hearing him say this, Qin Qin Qin Keqing felt even more joy and moved: "Hmm!"
She responded shyly with a heavy "hmm"!
After pouring out their hearts to each other.
Jia Hui chatted with Qin Ye and his son for a while.
Then left the betrothal gifts and said goodbye.
Although he didn't get a close look at her face.
And didn't take the person away.
But Jia Hui also made a big profit with Diaochan, one of the four beauties!
He could be said to have returned fully loaded.
Qin Ye and his son sent him out the door.
After leaving the Qin family.
Jia Hui took Jia Yun to the slave market without stopping.
The slave market is the slave trading market!
This time.
He bought 50 female servants in one breath!
All female.
There were little maids aged from a few years old to over ten years old.
About 20!
There were middle-aged strong nannies who did laundry, cooking, and rough work.
30.
Plus one hundred personal soldiers and fifty servants.
Currently, not counting Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen and the others.
There were already a full two hundred people!
Although it was still a bit short of the three hundred people he said.
But these people can be supplemented slowly.
Currently, Qin Qin Qin Keqing is assigned a few maids.
Yan is assigned a few.
And Diaochan, who is about to be summoned, will be assigned a few.
He will assign a few more to his own room.
The remaining few can be dealt with by newcomers.
If there are none, then pick them out.
These 50 people.
Only cost an average of about 10 taels of silver each.
One person was bought away.
Jia Hui felt it was a huge bargain.
For example, some maids were trained by human traffickers.
Knowing etiquette, taking care of people, etc.
These are costs.
Or those who look outstanding and have good figures.
This is also value!
Jia Hui felt that even if he spent 5000 taels of silver, it was a big profit!
"You two will be first-class big maids from now on."
"There are temporarily 8 third-class maids in our room, and a few more will be added after your eldest grandmother enters the house in a few days."
"You two manage the people from now on."
At this time, maids were strictly graded.
From high to low.
They are bed-chamber maids, first-class big maids, second-class big maids, third-class maids!
The representative figure of bed-chamber maids is Ping’er beside Seeing Seeing Fengjie, she is higher than ordinary maids, and her monthly allowance is also more.
She assists Seeing Seeing Fengjie in managing the house, is Seeing Seeing Fengjie’s confidante, and is also a "master key" in front of Seeing Seeing Fengjie.
On the issue of managing the house, Ping’er has great autonomy, for example, Ping’er can approve leave for servants, and can also judge grievances.
Jia Hui is not a woman, so naturally there are no bed-chamber maids.
So Hearing Hearing Qingwen and Sister Sister Xiren can only be first-class big maids.
First-class big maids are actually not much different from bed-chamber maids.
The Jia family regulations.
