Chapter 569 Who is richer than me
"I want to discuss with you what kind of gifts Gui Ning will prepare the day after tomorrow." Lin Xuan said.
Guining is also commonly known as the Huimen of the Three Dynasties. "Chao" means the morning, that is, the morning of the third day, when a married woman returns to her natal home to visit her parents accompanied by her husband.The man's family needs to prepare gifts and visit his wife's parents and relatives at the same time.
After the woman receives the gift, she can't take all of it. When she goes back, she has to return some of it.
Of course, it is not necessary to go back on the third day. According to the customs of various places and the distance of the marriage, the time of returning to Ning is also different.
Generally, it is possible on the third, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth day, or the full moon.
And Li Lizhi married in Chang'an, so naturally she needs Guining as the third person.
"It's enough for the husband to decide, and there is nothing missing for the father and queen, just make up your mind." Li Lizhi said.
Li Lizhi was very moved that Lin Xuan valued Gui Ning, which also showed that Lin Xuan valued her.
"Then how can it be done? At that time, not only you will return to Ning alone, but also your two younger sisters will also go back. The gift can't be shabby." Lin Xuan waved his hand and said.
Comparisons have existed since ancient times. As the eldest princess, Li Lizhi was deeply loved by Li Shimin, and the dowry was far more than that of other princesses. It is impossible to say that other princesses are not jealous of Li Lizhi.
If the gift is shabby, other princesses don't know how to laugh at Li Lizhi.
To make fun of Li Lizhi is to make fun of him, and more importantly, he doesn't want Li Lizhi to be wronged.
Marrying a wife is for pain, if you don't have the conditions, let it be, but if you have the conditions, you will naturally come as you are rich.
With so much money in the house, keep it moldy.
Li Lizhi chuckled, and said, "Why is my husband still like a child, and cares about face so much?"
Lin Xuan shook his head, looked at Li Lizhi and said, "It's not that I want face, I just don't want you to be laughed at."
Li Lizhi was startled, deeply moved, and said with a smile: "My husband is too worried, I am the eldest princess, who dares to laugh at me?"
Although she is the eldest princess, she is not the oldest among all Li Shimin's daughters.
There are two older sisters above, but there are more younger sisters below.
Although Li Shimin loves his daughter very much, but with so many children, it must not be equal.
Based on Li Shimin's love for his daughter, although other princesses are not as good as Li Lizhi, they are much better than princesses from other dynasties.
But what people are most afraid of is comparison. Li Lizhi is the most favored by Li Shimin. Naturally, many people will feel unjust and secretly resentful.
For these, Li Lizhi herself is very clear.
It's just that no matter how aggrieved and jealous those people are, they are not polite when they see her, and no one dares to speak sarcasticly to her.
Many people may not have a clear idea of Li Lizhi's position in Li Shimin's heart.
Let's put it this way, in history, when Zhenguan was more than ten years old, Li Shimin planned to divide the kings, but most of the ministers in the court opposed it, but they failed to persuade Li Shimin.
The enfeoffment mentioned here is not about adding a title to the prince as it is now, and a nominal governor, but the real title of the king.
In other words, those princes will have the self-control of their fiefdoms, which is equivalent to a country within a country, a party of princes.
Li Shimin did this because he felt that if the world changed and other descendants had power in their hands, the world would still belong to their Li family.
At that time, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other Li Shimin's confidants tried to persuade Li Shimin many times, but they failed to change Li Shimin's mind. In the end, Li Lizhi was the one who persuaded Li Shimin to let him dispel this idea.
It can be seen that Li Lizhi's position in Li Shimin's heart.
Lin Xuan said: "Even if they laugh at you in their hearts, it's not okay."
"Husband."
Li Lizhi looked at Lin Xuan affectionately.
Lin Xuan thought about her so much, how could she not dare to move.
Lin Xuan dragged his chin and said, "However, as you said, Your Majesty and the Empress do not lack for anything, and Zhao Guogong and Su Guogong have profound backgrounds. Our family is really not comparable."
Although he is rich, there are many things that money cannot buy.
Both Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin were Li Shimin's confidantes, and they conquered the world all the way. In addition to the change of Xuanwumen, I don't know how many aristocratic families were wiped out.
Li Shimin didn't know how many treasures he rewarded them.
And what about Lin Xuan?
baby no.
There is a lot of money.
But when he returned home, he couldn't let someone pull dozens of carts of money to go.
At that time, richness is richness, but afterward, the whole Chang'an will probably talk about him as a 'fool'.
"Husband, there are a few treasures in my dowry, and I can just send them over when the time comes." Li Lizhi said.
She knew the background of the Lin family. It was just a family of merchants before, so naturally there were no treasures.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "No, there is no one who would return to Ning with a dowry gift."
It's not that Lin Xuan has any masculine ideas. It is very shameful for men in ancient times to use women's dowry, but Lin Xuan is not from ancient times, so he doesn't care about that.
Others might not know that those things belonged to Li Lizhi as a dowry, but could the Empress Changsun, who helped Li Lizhi buy the dowry, not know?
Maybe Empress Changsun doesn't know everything, but she definitely knows those precious things.
What will Empress Changsun think of him then?
Good guy, I married my daughter to you, so you can use her dowry as a return gift?
No matter how good-tempered Empress Changsun is, I'm afraid she won't let him go.
"Then what should we do? How about sending someone to Chang'an to see if we can buy something more precious?" Li Lizhi said.
Lin Xuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not realistic to buy something good in such a short time."
Li Shimin likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and Empress Changsun likes Danqing. Under their influence, Li Lizhi not only writes good calligraphy, but also has a very high painting skill.
Not many of Wang Xizhi's characters have been handed down. Although the Tang Dynasty is certainly not rare, they are all in the hands of aristocratic families.
Not to mention that he has a bad relationship with the aristocratic family, even if the relationship is good, it is very difficult to buy.
For the aristocratic family, those calligraphy and paintings were left by their ancestors, and it was impossible to sell them unless they were forced to.
Li Shimin has been looking for "Lanting Collection Preface" for many years, and there is not even a single report, which can be seen.
Lin Xuan's thin gold handwriting is superb, but he can't write some words by himself and send them over.
"Yes." Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he thought of a very good way to give gifts.
Li Li asked, "What did my husband think of as a gift?"
"Ah."
Lin Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "There are more than 1000 catties of gold in the warehouse. I have someone melt them down and cast them into twelve golden pigs. We will give these golden pigs away when the time comes."
If you do this in later generations, although it is a trench, it is very rustic, and you will definitely be called an upstart.
But now it is the Tang Dynasty, and gold does not circulate as currency.
Most of them were collected by noble families.
Gold is not considered precious, but Lin Xuan gave a lot.
A tael of gold is almost worth ten copper coins, and a catty is 160 guan. (16 taels per catty in ancient times)
More than 1000 catties of gold, worth 30 million guan.
The slam mentioned here refers to the slam.
According to the official regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the consistent money is [-] wen, but the common people are [-] wen, which is already the tacit understanding of everyone.
Even the imperial court's money is consistent with eight hundred wen.
In this way, more than 1000 catties of gold are worth 40 million guan.
No matter how rich Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin's background is, it is impossible to give Li Shimin something worth hundreds of thousands of coins.
Who can be richer than him?
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this method was very good.
