Chapter 1223 Taking a concubine on New Year’s Eve

The New Year is here in a blink of an eye, and the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day. According to customs, today is the day when Chen Li is inaugurated. Many wealthy families take concubines on the last day of the year, but the last day on New Year's Eve is the day to prepare for worshiping ancestors, so the day of taking concubines is usually placed on the auspicious day closest to New Year's Eve.

Li Ye treated the Shen family well and appointed Chen Li as a Liangdi. Of course, the Shen family was not willing to fall behind and took out a dowry worth millions. A farm in Jiangnan alone reached 6,000 acres, ten large sea boats, a large number of silk, satin, silver and copper coins, and various jewelry.

Back then, Chen Zhenzhu was selected as the Prince Liangdi, and the Shen family only gave him a dowry of 200,000 yuan.

However, Chen Li does not have the glory of Dugu Taiwei getting married. Generally speaking, Dugu Taiwei's concubines who are married to a matchmaker should not appear. First of all, the wife will not allow it, and the wife's family will not allow it.

But when it comes to Dugu Taiwei, first of all, the princess and the princess's family is not a problem, that is his own people. Secondly, Li Ye wants to give Dugu Ming enough face. He has done many things with Dugu Ming, and he doesn't even give him this little face?

So Dugu Taiwei enjoyed a famous matchmaker's marriage that only his wife had, but it was gone when he arrived at Chen Li.

Generally, women from a family of officials enter the palace will be selected for talent shows. First of all, they are palace maids. They do not become imperial concubines in one step. They will gather together for several months to train. For example, Luo Jinhua is the place where the palace maids were specially trained in the past.

Then it is assigned to the imperial palace, the Eastern Palace or the Prince's Mansion. At this time, whether the emperor, the prince or the prince will turn over the palace maid's brand depends on the background of the palace maid's family.

So Li Longji has more than 40,000 women in his harem, and he still has to draft every year. Does he lack women? He doesn’t lack, he only lacks money.

For example, if a girl from the Dugu family is designated to enter the palace, the two parties will start negotiating. What grade will it be after entering the palace? How much money can the Dugu family give? After the negotiations, they will enter the palace and be named Dugu Concubine. The Dugu family will have to give at least a large sum of money.

If you want to become a relative of the Tang Dynasty, you either have a daughter who looks beautiful and beautiful, like Yang Yuhuan, or you have a huge family income and strong financial resources, and you have given enough dowry.

Everyone knows these things in the scene, and they don’t need to be told, and history naturally will not record them. But as common sense, one thing should be understood that even the general public should focus on the other party’s dowry when they get married, and the emperor would not want the dowry?

So Dugu Taiwei got married and brought 600,000 yuan in wealth.

Although the Shen family has no power, it has huge wealth, so the Shen family made a big deal and took out a million-dollar dowry. You can also say that this is the Shen family's letter of fame.

As I said before, if the Shen family wants to keep their wealth, they either keep a low profile or improve their social rank. If they invest millions of yuan, Li Ye will naturally repay their favor.

Then you said that Chen Zhenzhu is pregnant with Li Ye's child in her belly. Why didn't the Shen family give Chen Zhenzhu and this child a lot of money?

This is the problem that Chen Wansan did not understand later. You can use various names and means to give the emperor money, but some things cannot be touched, one is the emperor's son and the other is the emperor's army.

If you want to give it to the emperor, you must give it to the emperor, and then the emperor will reward it to his son and the army.

What is it about you who rewards the emperor's son and army?

Chen Wansan didn't understand and rewarded Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and was almost killed, and finally exiled to Yunnan.

With the testimony of the whole family, Dugu Xinyue drank the tea offered by Chen Li, which was considered to have recognized this new sister.

Several maids were walking in front of them with lanterns. Chen Li had a good-looking body and was wearing a good suit. Qingyu held her hand and walked to the third floor of Zhen'anta. She used to live on the first floor, but now she moved to the third floor.

Chen Li gently bit her lip to hide her nervousness. This was her wedding night. Two days ago, her aunt Chen Zhenzhu explained to her in detail the sex between a man and a woman.

Although she was nervous, she was not resistant. On the contrary, she still had a little expectation in her heart. As early as the big ship, she began to look forward to this day.

Qingyu smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Do you feel a little wronged when you are in Zhen'an Building?"

Chen Li quickly shook her head, "No! I'm very happy to be with everyone."

"After tonight, you will be our sister tomorrow. During this period, my elder sister asked me to guide you and adapt to the various rules at home."

"Please trouble Sister Qingyu."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. Your husband is generous and treats his relatives with gentleness. He will definitely like you."

Chen Li nodded gently, walked along the Persian carpet to a door, Qingyu pushed the door open and went in, the room was decorated with a particularly joyful atmosphere, and the atmosphere of wedding was everywhere.

There are big red candles, the word "Hong Kong" is pasted on the wall, and even the carpet is red. There are wine and food on the table in the middle. This is the outer room, and there are lotus warm tents inside.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Qingyu turned around and was about to leave, and Chen Li quickly grabbed her, "Sister Qingyu, sit with me again!"

At this time, Li Ye walked in with a smile, "Qingyu will sleep here at night! I definitely don't object!"

Qingyu reached out and twisted Li Ye's arm, "I'm going to die, I dare to say anything. This is Ali's bridal chamber night."

Chen Li was stunned. Sister Qingyu actually twisted the regent's arm. In her home, she was of a very strict hierarchy. How could such a thing happen?

Li Ye hugged Qingyu's waist and smiled and kissed her on the face. Qingyu then gave him a blank look and left.

The door was closed, and only Li Ye and the bride were left in the room. Chen Li lowered her head shyly.

Li Ye gently held her in his arms, kissed her forehead and smiled, "Let me have a drink!"

Li Ye sat down and hugged her waist and sat on his lap.

Chen Li poured two glasses of wine, handed it to Li Ye with one cup with both hands, picked up one cup by himself, touched it, and was about to drink it, but Li Ye shook his head and smiled, "According to the oldest custom of the Han people, this should be drunk like this!"

He put his arms through, and the two of them intersected. Li Ye smiled and said, "This is called juggling wine, also called hey wine."

"ah!"

It was actually a wine with wine. Chen Li's pretty face turned red and his eyes were gaze at his husband with affection. The two drank the wine. Li Ye waved his hand and extinguished the red candle. The two hugged each other and kissed each other in pain.

Gradually, Chen Li's mood rose and he was fully engaged.

Seeing that the atmosphere was coming, Li Ye picked up her legs and bent her to walk towards the inner room.

One night stand and enjoy the joy of fish and water.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Li Ye went to the military camp early in the morning. He had to have a meal with the soldiers at noon and could not come back in the afternoon. This is also the norm.

Qingyu took over the bride. When she saw Chen Li still wanted to put on makeup, she smiled and said, "Let's be simple today! Look at me, she is almost plain face."

"Why?" Chen Li asked in confusion.

"Do you want to take a bath in your hometown New Year's Eve to get rid of the old age?"

Chen Li nodded, Qingyu smiled and said, "That's right! This is the same custom in Chang'an. The whole family takes a bath and bathe together to wash away the foul air for a year. In the afternoon, our whole family will be in the big pool together, and our husband will be with us."

"Is this OK?"

"He is your husband, why can't he? Let me tell you something fun. Taiwei took a bath with her husband before she got married last New Year's Eve. She was so scared that she shrank into a ball."

Chen Li couldn't help laughing, "Okay! I'll just clean up."

"There are a few more things. I have to tell you that my husband does not have his own dormitory, so he will take turns sleeping in everyone's dormitory every night. This is arranged by my elder sister."

Chen Li nodded silently, she knew this.

"Then it's Aunt Mu. She raised her husband and regarded her as her grandmother. Don't underestimate the old lady. She is the first-class lady of Shu Kingdom, and everyone's elders should definitely respect her!"

"I know, the aunt treats me very well, and I like her too."

"And it's the old lady's side. She's coming in the morning. You have to kneel down and give her a big gift. This is the first time, and I won't need it in the future."

"I see!"

Qingyu covered her mouth and smiled, "The first time she met, she must see if your butt is big, your waist is thin, or something like that. There is no other meaning, she just wants to hold her grandson."

Chen Li's face turned red, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint her!"

"Get up and I'll take a look?"

Chen Li stood up, Qingyu looked at it carefully, touched the mold again, and smiled and said, "It's okay! It's okay! It's meeting her requirements."

"There is also my father-in-law. We have no intersection with him for the time being, so we don't have to consider it."

"I understand, Sister Qingyu tells me again!"

After a moment of silence, Qingyu slowly said: "We have a huge secret in our family, which is about the true identity of my second sister. I will tell you now. I hope you can keep it firmly and never tell anyone."
