I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 27 Huge Dowry
Looking at Yueshu, who was like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, Zhang thought of her eldest daughter who was always naughty and her second daughter who would not give in. In her heart, she felt that the well-behaved and sensible girl in front of her was more to her liking.

While smiling as he picked up those rare wild delicacies, he sighed that they were different from the freshness of the sea, and responded:
"He also lives in Crystal City, not far from us."

"He is currently studying in a great dynasty in the Starry Sea. He is a talented Confucianist. However, his father passed away early, leaving only his mother alive."

"It is said that he is an excellent scholar. At such a young age, he has already cultivated Wen Qi and has reached the foundation of cultivation. He is only one step away from cultivating Wen Dan. I think his future is also very bright."

"If Tingyu marries into the family, and this scholar passes the exam to get a government job, she will be the wife of an official in the future!"

Although Zhang was a servant in the Crystal Palace, she was not an ordinary servant.

In Crystal City, she is the wife of the housekeeper under Lord Dragon. Although her status is not high, it is not low either. However, compared with the Confucian scholars of the dynasty who are seriously cultivating literary spirit, it is far from it.

Moreover, although his daughter did not look bad and had dragon blood, she was born with defects and had very poor aptitude.

If your daughter marries him, she will be a formal master. What a style it is to be the wife of a Confucian scholar in a great dynasty!

Zhang felt very happy just thinking about it.

Tingyu was shouting proudly at this time,

"Only a young lady like me, who is as noble as a branch of a royal family, can be favored by others and be worthy of being the wife of this serious Confucian scholar of the dynasty."

"How can a scholar with a promising future and good cultivation be interested in a servant who was born as a palace maid?"

The hierarchy in the world of immortal cultivation is strict, countless times stricter than that in the dynasty.

A monk once joked: "In the eyes of monks like me, there are only three realms - the ant realm, the fellow Taoist realm, and the senior realm."

It is all like this: talking freely in front of fellow Taoists, being submissive in front of seniors, and punching hard at ants.

As for forces like the Crystal Palace Dragon Clan and the Dynasty, which have an orderly inheritance for thousands of years, the division of internal ranks is extremely clear.

As soon as Tingyu said this, Tinghe's face changed immediately.

Zhang Wei was also furious when he heard this.

Yue Shu saw that something was not right and immediately advised:
"A hero's origin is not important. Sister Tingyu may be raised at home, but she still relies on the Crystal Palace to survive. Don't say such things anymore!"

"If word of this gets to the Crystal Palace, I'm afraid it will be hard for my uncle and aunt to handle."

"If Mr. Confucian knew about this, I'm afraid he would be unhappy too."

"After all, the reputation of the Confucian scholars in the dynasty is very important. They don't like to be talked about behind their backs by others, saying that they were forced to marry because of the power of the Crystal Palace. If that happens, the Confucian scholars will also feel alienated from you, my sister."

Tingyu just snorted after Yueshu's pertinent words, as if she didn't understand, but Zhang took it to heart.

Yue Shu is right!
The Confucian scholar prides himself on being noble. If he looks down on a servant in his family, then this marriage...

Zhang also understood Yue Shu's subtext. She herself was born a palace maid, and her daughter looked down on the palace maids. Then, wouldn't her eldest daughter, whom she had always doted on, look down on her?
Zhang was also very unhappy and said seriously, "Yueyue is right. You were raised by a palace maid. Do you despise me now?"

"Besides, my son-in-law will inevitably feel unhappy when he hears this. Don't say such things in the future! Do you hear me?"

It was rare for Zhang to speak harshly to Tingyu about marriage. Tingyu also looked like she couldn't believe that her mother would be so mean to her. She looked like she couldn't stand being wronged and was about to cry.

Yue Shu felt something was not right, so she ate hurriedly and then took Ting He back to the yard.

The meal ended unpleasantly. Zhang Wei pulled Zhang aside and asked seriously, "What Confucian scholar? Why didn't you discuss this with me?" "My neighbor Aunt Zhao told me this morning. As soon as she told me, I took Tinghe to have a look."

"He is a Confucian scholar who studies Confucianism and Taoism. He looks very gentle and refined."

Zhang Wei frowned when he heard this, "If he is such a good scholar, why doesn't he marry a lady of equal status?"

Although the Zhang family was servants from the Crystal Palace.

But slaves are slaves, and most masters look down on them, let alone those Confucian scholars who are famous for their integrity.
Seeing Zhang's guilty expression, Zhang Wei suddenly became angry.
"What else haven't you told me?"

Seeing his stern expression, Zhang was extremely frightened. She did not dare to look him in the eye and only looked away.

"I...I promised that if they married Tingyu, I would give her 500 acres of spiritual farmland as a dowry, and only then did I agree..."

"What? Five hundred acres! You are really amazing now!"

Zhang Wei was furious and looked extremely angry.

Although their family works for Long Jun, they are also wealthy.

But this is like selling his daughter for spirit stones. Even though he is a lowly dragon, he can't do such a thing!
"It's just a few thousand spirit stones. We have them. If Tingyu wants to live comfortably in the future, what does it matter?"

Seeing Zhang Wei's angry look, Zhang felt a little sad and aggrieved.

"How can you be so brainless!"

"Those young ladies outside the palace who got married for 3,000 spirit stones are already very glorious. If we, who were born as slaves, are also so extravagant, won't we overshadow our masters?"

"Then Lord Long will also be suspicious of me and investigate how we got these spirit stones."

"I think you've had enough of the comfortable life following me all these years!"

"Or do you want to make life difficult for our family and let Tingyu go, right?"

"Since that scholar boy's demands are so harsh, let him go find someone else to be his scapegoat. We in the Zhang family don't care about him!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Zhang was immediately incredulous, "No! You!"

"I'm going to make this clear today. Even if I can come up with that much money, I won't give it to her."

"You are such a mother, what about us three children!"

"You gave this one such a huge dowry, what about the other two children?"

"Should I spend all my wealth and let the other two suffer the injustice?"

"Don't let anyone mistreat my children, Zhang Wei!"

Zhang Wei is the most fair scale in this family, which is why this tilted scale will not fall apart.

There is no way he would sacrifice his two children just for the sake of his eldest daughter; they are his dearest and most beloved children!
Seeing his fair attitude, Zhang couldn't help but shed tears.
"Tingyu has been weak since childhood, how can he be compared with them?"
