The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Mei Er and Mu Hefeng are very busy people now, each responsible for a large part of the business, and they are one of the few "strong women" in An Lan Country.On weekdays, He'er and Chai Ke were placed in Mu's residence and handed over to Tao'er to take care of them together.

Under Xing'er's suggestion, Tao'er tidied up a big room and arranged it like a children's playground and school, and she herself acted as a "kindergarten teacher".Every five days, Myolie also goes to a music class and a story class (that is, storytelling).Baichuan now has two friends, he is no longer so lonely, and he is much happier.

Mu's residence is only a few steps away from Dingguohou's residence. When Shen Jie is not at home, Tao'er will bring her three children to find Xing'er and have a meal at Xing'er's house.The relationship between the two sisters is getting deeper and more sincere.

Myolie hosted a banquet in Xinghua Village to entertain everyone, and the resort even put up a sign saying "Welcome VIPs, closed business".This Xinghua Village has already been given to Tao'er, so this is considered Xing'er's charter, for five consecutive days. 13acv.

In addition to hosting banquets, he also posted widely, inviting friends of himself and Shen Jie, friends of the Xu family, and friends of Master Qin to hold a grand celebration banquet for the three couples Xu Youran, Song Ze, and Ling'er .It laid a good foundation for Song Ze, Mengqin, and Song Liuzhu to integrate into the upper class society of the capital.

Immediately afterwards, it was the day when Shen Jie's eldest sister, Shen Cailing, married Duanmu Liufeng, and Xing'er Village became lively and busy again, preparing to welcome guests from all over the world.

Xing'er has long prepared a generous dowry for Ling'er.

Among them, Shen Han paid 3 taels, 2 taels for the purchase of shops, houses, and beds for getting married, and 1 taels of silver in the box.Shen Jie thought more far-reaching, and spent 2 taels of silver to buy [-] acres of high-quality paddy fields for Ling'er.With these two hundred acres of paddy fields, her future will be guaranteed. No matter what happens, she will not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Xing'er also took out 5000 taels of silver, and carefully bought clothes, jewelry, shoes, socks and handbags for Ling'er.There are six sets of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, ranging from underwear, jackets to windbreakers.There are ten sets of jewelry, including earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, jadeite Guanyin pendants, crested hairpins, jade hairpins, step shakers, hair clips, pearl flowers, etc., none of which is unique and exquisite.

Clothes, jewelry, handbags, etc. are all specially designed and made by Xinger.In the process of designing and making clothes, jewelry, etc., she also put forward a lot of good suggestions and opinions, which can be described as a combination of ancient and modern, both classic and fashionable, which is eye-catching and hard to put down.

The design and production fee paid to the master alone is as high as 3000 taels. Those clothes and jewelry are unique and will not be made again in the future.In fact, when Tao'er got married, Xing'er really wanted to find a master to make clothes and jewelry, but the timing was not right at that time, and she couldn't find the right one after searching for a long time.This time, it was also a chance to meet such a master who can communicate well.

Mrs. Shen, she doesn't pull out a hair.But her words were convincing: "Since her eldest brother and sister-in-law are rich now, I will leave my dowry to a few younger ones. Anyway, with a dowry worth sixty to seventy thousand taels of silver, it is decent enough!"

After hearing this, Xing'er couldn't help rolling her eyes secretly: That's right, the dowry of 7 to 3 taels of silver is indeed a lot.The average dowry of 7 to [-] taels for a family of a public servant to marry a daughter-in-law. [-] taels is indeed extremely rich!

But, having said that, it is really rare for a mother not to give her daughter a dowry!The reason why Xing'er paid 5000 taels of silver was not because she saw that Mrs. Shen had been slow to buy a dowry for her daughter, and she didn't even show it at all. There was no other way, so she decided to cover all of Ling'er's clothes and jewelry.

Shen Jie naturally understood, and immediately said coldly: "Then, when the younger ones get married, their betrothal gift and dowry will be covered by the mother! At that time, Xing'er can no longer be the sister-in-law. , took out 5000 taels of silver from my private house money, and bought a dowry for my sister-in-law and uncle!"

If there is no such reason, if you tell it, you will be ridiculed by the world!

5000 taels of silver is a huge sum of money!Ordinary people, enough to eat for several lifetimes!Myolie's selfless devotion to my sister-in-law is really remarkable, she has a big heart!

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, and she blurted out: "How can this work? This is absolutely impossible! I only have a little dowry left, and you have four younger brothers and sisters. How can there be enough?" What can I do?

Shen Han was so angry that he yelled angrily: "The dowry on hand and the money you have accumulated over the years are still worth 10,000+ taels of silver. Not to mention anything else, in the past ten years alone, Jie The pocket money I gave you is not fifty thousand, but thirty thousand!"

Mrs. Shen quickly distinguished: "Where are there so many? My dowry was extorted by the Bai family for most of it, and there were only some unsavory farms and houses and shops left! The money given by Jieer was also given away. Most of the time, there is not much left!"

Shen Jie and Xing'er couldn't help gasping, and quickly exchanged glances, seeing shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Shen Jie's voice trembled a little: "Mother, you have been extorted so much by the Bai family?! This is the price you paid for wanting Baimei to be your daughter-in-law with all your heart? Now, don't you Haven't you truly repented yet?" He didn't want to say this at first, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

Mrs. Shen was ashamed and annoyed, and said in a choked voice: "Why didn't I repent? I regretted it so much that my intestines were green! That Baimei is just a white-eyed wolf. She and her family have repeatedly blackmailed me. She won't give up until she's exhausted!" At the beginning, she was the one who was stupid enough to reveal her family background to Baimei.

Shen Han was furious: "Since you know you regret it, why are you not willing to add a little bit of dowry to Ling'er today? Are you a mother like this? What are you doing with your money? Are you missing food or drinking?" ?”

There is a saying, in front of his son and Xing'er, he didn't scold: You still covet Xing'er's money, your own children's betrothal gift and dowry, and you still expect your daughter-in-law to buy it, don't you want to lose face?

Shen Jie stared at the sky speechlessly, no matter what, it was his mother, so he couldn't blame her anymore.He secretly made up his mind that he must find some chance to give back the 2 taels that Xing'er spent for Ling'er.Mother is shameless, but he still wants it!

Mrs. Shen said unhappily: "I only have 2 acres of paddy fields left, two shops, one Zhuangzi and two houses, all of which are not worth [-] taels of silver. There is not much gold and silver. Now give Ling'er, when those little ones get married, what should I give them? Also, I have a flower for myself in the future, so I have to ask you for it?!"

What he said was so straightforward that it seemed to make sense.

Shen Han was furious, and his voice became sharper: "Look at your virtue, how did you become like this? What do you want money for? You have 30 taels a month, and the pocket money Jieer gives you every year Money, which year was less than 3000 taels? Clothes, shoes, socks and jewelry, which year didn’t Xing’er help you buy it properly? Even Ling’er’s siblings were mostly paid by Xing’er It's done!"

Ling'er was standing under the peach tree outside the window, and the lush leaves blocked Mrs. Shen's view from the window.When her husband scolded her like this, she felt very shameless, extremely ashamed, and impulsively replied: "Who told Ling'er that damn girl to be against me? She is just a child of a poor family. Even if the palace exam high school, So what? Two years have passed, isn't he still a little sixth-grade sesame official?! How wonderful would it be to find a son of a noble family? Let me stand in front of those handkerchiefs No face at all!"

Ling'er heard this, squatted on the ground, covered her face and wept.

She didn't expect that her mother would have such thoughts.She thought that after two years, her mother had become better, just like when she was a child, a good mother worthy of her pride and pride.However, in the end, she was disappointed and sad!

In fact, she didn't really care whether her mother gave her a dowry or not.The dowry given by my father, elder brother and sister-in-law is already rich enough!Speaking of it, she never thought that the elder sister-in-law would be so kind to her, would spend so much money on buying such good clothes and jewelry for her.Even, the sister-in-law was very considerate, and prepared many one-two-weight golden flowers, silver flowers, golden beans, and silver beans for her.

She also declined, but the sister-in-law said that it was her heart, and the elders could not deny it.She just thought that when she had money in the future, she would find a way to repay her sister-in-law.However, what I didn't expect was that the mother actually took it for granted, and even the bride price and dowry of the younger brothers and sisters, the mother seemed to have counted on the sister-in-law!

Ling'er really felt that she was so ashamed!She couldn't help but burst into tears, unable to restrain herself, tears streaming down her face.

Hearing the crying outside the window, Mrs. Shen squinted her eyes to take a closer look, and couldn't help being stunned: the eldest daughter Ling'er was outside the window!Did your daughter hear what she said? !

Shen Han stomped his feet vigorously and glared at his wife: "Look at what you've done!"

Shen Jie felt like a rag was stuck in his heart, extremely depressed!

"I'll take Ling'er back to the Marquis Mansion first, and let her stay there for a few days!" Xing'er walked out quickly, comforted Ling'er in a soft voice, and then took her away.

There is a courtyard in Dingguohou's Mansion, which is dedicated to the three Ling'er sisters.Xing'er returned to the Hou Mansion and sent Ling'er directly to the courtyard called Shui Lingxuan. This is a small and exquisite courtyard with beautiful and quiet scenery, and it is a good place to adjust her mood.

Ling'er covered her face and cried loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm the one who's sorry for you! I'm ashamed to see you. I didn't expect my mother to be like this. How did she become like this?" Where did the loving mother when she was a child go? ?

Ermu is busy with each cloth.Yes, how did she become like this?The first impression her mother-in-law gave her was actually pretty good!At the beginning, she also admired Xing'er, but because of a white plum, she was at odds with Xing'er.Later, although the relationship with Xing'er eased somewhat, the past events still left a deep imprint on her heart.For a while, if you want her to be reborn, you can still dream.

Well, after all, maybe it's all because this is an old *society*.The root of everything is because of the marriage between Shen Jie and Princess Fei Cui, which involved the old lady Shen who "overwhelms people with filial piety", the high-ranking Empress Shen and King Jin, and the imperial edict to kill without blood.

My mother-in-law's unreasonableness, Xing'er couldn't take it to heart, but it was basically understandable.It is difficult to be a woman, but it is even more difficult to be a woman of this ancient dynasty!Alas, forget it, why do women make things difficult for women.

Xing'er sighed, and explained patiently: "Don't be sad, I am your sister-in-law, and I am willing to add a dowry for you! Listen to what my sister-in-law said, things that can be solved with money are nothing! Don't worry about it! Take it to heart, sister-in-law hopes that you can get married happily and get along well with Master Duanmu. As long as you can live happily, then sister-in-law will not be disappointed, and sister-in-law can rest assured!"

"Sister-in-law, thank you!" Ling'er threw herself on Xing'er's shoulder, weeping, and said with a sob: "Sister-in-law, the bride price and dowry of younger brothers and sisters will be handed over to Linger in the future! Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry too much." Don't worry, Ling'er will let her mother do her due responsibilities. The sister-in-law has given enough effort and money for our siblings! If the mother is still greedy, then this mother, Ling'er, will not recognized her!"

Myolie was a little bit dumbfounded.However, Ling'er was very grateful and thoughtful of her, she was very moved and gratified.This shows that her sincere dedication was not in vain, and she was rewarded.

People change people's hearts!Xing'er deeply felt that everything she had done for Ling'er and her siblings was worth it!As for the mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, I don't bother to talk to her, she can do whatever she likes.Shen Jie is actually very rich, even if Xing'er doesn't pay a penny, Shen Jie can easily spend a million taels of silver to buy dowries for his younger brothers and sisters.

The reason why Xing'er spent money to buy clothes and jewelry for Ling'er was firstly because of her sister-in-law's affection; secondly, it was more for Shen Jie's sake, and it also meant to manage the marriage.She was kind to his younger brothers and sisters, so Shen Jie would understand and treat her better!Every year, Shen Jie gave her more than 10 taels of household and pocket money.In fact, every year, there will be a balance of at least 7 to [-] taels.

The dowry incident was just a small episode and did not cause much disturbance.Under Xing'er's comfort, Ling'er calmed down within a few days, and a smile appeared on her face again.The grand wedding ceremony has arrived as scheduled!The place where the marriage ceremony was held was naturally Duanmu Liufeng's mansion, but the wedding banquet was held in Xinghua Village.

This can be regarded as a new wedding!
