The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 222 I don't know the etiquette, I violate the harmony
Chapter 222 I don't know the etiquette, I violate the harmony
In order to be able to successfully rescue her daughter, Aunt Cheng worked hard, and she did not hesitate to expose this matter.
She is also a motherly heart.
Yun Xi was quite moved, and said: "Give Yun Qi a check on the medicine residue." Yun Qi's medical skills are the best when Yun Da reaches Yun Shi.
Yun Qi came soon. After checking it once, he said calmly: "There is a lot of kansui in it, which is incompatible with the hay in the prescription, which greatly reduces the curative effect."
Yun Xi's tone was sarcastic: "It's no wonder that Mr. Ren has been sick for so long, and he has become a tool for my daughter to show off." Thinking about Ren Congwen's illness at that time, no matter how much medicine he took, he did not get better.As a result, when Ren Ziqing went to show off her filial piety, Ren Congwen's illness improved a lot.
Ren Ziqing was worried that if Ren Congwen got better all of a sudden, she would lose her reputation in the future, so she played the trick of sustainable development.
When Ren Congwen's condition had just recovered, this practice really gave her a lot of good reputation.
She looked at Aunt Cheng who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Don't worry, they won't succeed."
"If it doesn't work, you'll make your daughter have a serious illness." She paused and said, "I can provide you with medicine, so that your daughter will feel as if she is seriously ill after taking it."
Aunt Cheng worried: "Will the medicine hurt your body?"
Yun Xi shook her head, and said: "The medicine is not harmful to the body. After stopping using it, within a month, the pulse will show that it is slowly recovering."
Aunt Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully, "Thank you Princess."
Yun Xi said: "If he doesn't care about your daughter's health and insists on switching the two of them, then you tell me, and I will naturally reveal this matter."
Aunt Cheng said: "Thank you Princess for your help."
Rather than saying that Yun Xi was helping Ren Ziyan, it might be better to say that she just didn't want to see Ren Ziqing escape so easily, so wouldn't the previous hard work of her and Yiran be in vain.She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Ren Congguang was really bold and reckless, and that such a thing could be done, it was simply contempt for the law.
But this is from another point of view, and it also shows that Ren Ziqing has indeed grasped the evidence that Ren Congguang confirmed, so Ren Congguang will not hesitate to use this method to get her out.
After Aunt Cheng sneaked out from the back door, Li Qiu asked puzzledly, "Girl, why didn't Aunt Cheng tell Ren Congwen about this?"
If Ren Congwen knew that his favorite daughter-in-law would drug him for the sake of fame, his heart would be chilled.
Yun Xi said softly: "The evidence is insufficient, and the medicine residue alone can't say anything. After all, the medicine residue was several days ago, and even Mrs. Ren can beat her up and say that Aunt Cheng deliberately framed Ren Ziqing."
This kind of thing can't be used as evidence unless it is caught on the spot.
Yin Dan was indignant, "Could it be possible to really let her escape?"
The corners of Yun Xi's lips twitched, "But we don't have a solution. Just ask the people in the pharmacy to find an excuse to find Ren Congwen. For example, fabricate a note saying that Ren Ziqing forgot to pay for the medicine. Ren Ziqing is in the cell. People who don’t belong to Ren’s family can still go to the cell and ask her if she forgot to pay for something?”
"As long as Ren Congwen knows what Ren Ziqing bought, as long as someone pretends to casually mention the role of kansui in his ear. It is related to his own physical problems, and he will definitely send someone to investigate. People always tend to The results of his own investigation are much more useful than the evidence we put in front of him."
Yin Dan nodded in admiration, "The girl is still smart."
Li Qiu immediately arranged for this matter.With this group of capable maidservants around, it did save Yun Xi a lot of effort.
When Yun Shen came back in the evening, Yun Xi told him about it.Since they got married, they hardly ever hide anything from each other.The matter of Ren Ziqing seems to be just a personal grievance between Yun Xi and her, but because of the involvement of Ren Congguang, the importance has greatly increased.
Yun Shen said: "It seems that we can find a breakthrough from Ren Ziqing."
As a result, the next day, Yun Xi received the news that Ren Ziqing's current "residence" had been transferred from the big prison in Shuntian Mansion to the sky prison.According to Chu Xiyuan, what Ren Ziqing slandered was the princess of a country, not the usual gossip.
For a while, everyone turned their attention to Yun Xi again, and couldn't help feeling: This Princess Ming is really favored.
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth couldn't help twitching, Chu Xiyuan was clearly using her as a cover, the real situation was to pry Ren Ziqing's mouth open and break through from her.This is good, everyone in the capital thinks this is Yun Xi's special treatment.Even Ren Congguang would not suspect this.
After thinking about it, Yun Xi realized that this was also beneficial.Anyway, no one would dare to attack her casually in the future.On the other hand, the Sky Prison is not a place where Ren Congguang can use his means. After Ren Ziqing was brought to that place, Ren Congguang had no choice but to hide it.This can be regarded as an explanation to Aunt Cheng.
A few days later, Yun Xi received the news: Ren Ziqing's mother suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, and the housekeeping rights temporarily fell into the hands of the other two concubines.Ren Ziyan, Ren Congwen's concubine, has also arranged a marriage, although it is not a prominent family.She knew in her heart that Ren Congwen had made a move.
On April 26, she got up early in the morning. After washing and washing, Yun Xi put on a moon white embroidered gown, and underneath was a light purple pleated skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, which was elegant and chic.Yun Xi fiddled with her jewelry box, and said, "Today, I'll bring peaches and offer three thousand emerald hairpins inlaid with pearls and stones."
The three thousand peach hairpins inlaid with pearls and stones and emerald flowers were very delicately made, and it was a gift from Chu Xiyuan, so it is very good to wear it on this occasion.
After that, she chose another pair of emerald pearl earrings and a suet white jade bracelet, which set off her wrists as white as jade. Apart from that, she didn't need any more jewelry.This is just right, it not only highlights her status, but also looks exquisite and luxurious, and it is not too heavy.Yun Xi is most annoyed by the one with hairpins all over her head, who looks like a nouveau riche.
It just so happened that the Yang family sent this season's new clothes a few days ago. The clothes in Yunxi's yard are all sewn by the best embroiderers in Yunfu, and everyone has two pieces.Today, Yindan and Liqiu simply put on new clothes, and they even put on hairpins made of Donghua beads rewarded by Yunxi.
Seeing their outfits, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Those who don't know think you two are twin sisters."
The clothes of the two are of the same style, but the colors and patterns are different. For example, Yindan is embroidered with light yellow pear flowers, while Liqiu is embroidered with light blue peach flowers.
Yindan said: "I don't mind having multiple younger sisters." Liqiu is one year younger than Yindan.
Liqiu smiled, "I don't mind having multiple sisters, but I'm afraid that Hu Yang will cry and say that I stole her sister." Hu Yang is Yindan's younger sister, and now she is by Yunyao's side.Although the two sisters are separated, because they are both in the capital, and Yun Xi often goes home, they still see each other often.Yin Dan even shared half of the pearls he received with his younger sister.
Yin Dan smiled and said: "Hu Yang is the most generous person, and she is not the kind of stingy person. She will only be happy that there is another sister who loves her." She paused, and said: "Since I am a sister, I have to give it to my sister. If a meeting ceremony is worse than the hairpin you wear, I won't accept it."
Yin Dan directly begged for a gift for his younger sister, and it was because they were very familiar with each other that they joked like this.
Li Qiu retorted, "Okay, then you, the older sister, should give me a meeting gift first."
Yun Xi looked at the two of them joking with each other with a smile, and immediately said, "Okay, let them bring the breakfast."
After breakfast, Yun Xi took the makeup gifts she had prepared and set off for Dai's house.Dai's house is about half an hour's drive away from her house. After all, Yun Xi's house is located in the most affluent area in the capital, and every inch of land is precious.
As a member of the official department, Dai Hai really doesn't have the capital to buy a house here.Any three-entry house here costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you can't buy it if you have money.Yun Xi was directly rewarded by the emperor, saving such a lot of effort.
Mrs. Dai is upright and straightforward. After coming to the capital, she has met many families. In addition, her eldest daughter, Dai Yanling, is married to the well-known first-class Wen family in the capital, so she came here today to add makeup. There are quite a few people here, as you can tell by the row of gorgeous carriages parked at the door.
Yun Xi usually likes to drive lightly and travel easily, and doesn't like to put on ceremonies. Today, in order to support Yan Ling, she directly drove over in the princess' car.
Getting off the carriage, Yun Xi happened to hear a woman next to her whisper: "I didn't expect that there are quite a few people who put makeup on Miss Dai's family."
A woman in a red gown next to her said: "Who knows if they are all low-class people. When I think that my sister fell on such a family, I am not worth it for my sister."
The two of them spoke in a low voice, thinking that others could not hear them.It's just that Yun Xi's hearing ability is outstanding, and she directly took their words into her ears, and she couldn't help but frown.Which one is this?Why are you so rude.
The two turned their heads, just in time to see Yun Xi, their eyes fell on the princess's car, and they couldn't help but concentrate.There are not many princesses in the capital, one is Xue Yingying, one is Du Yunxi, and there were originally Lin Miaoqin and her sister Lin Miaoyin.It's just that Lin Miaoqin got married, and Lin Miaoyin married out of town... Let's get in touch again about her appearance and friendship with the Dai family.
The two of them also recognized Yun Xi's identity, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
The leading woman was the first to say hello, "I think this is Mrs. Yun, she really is an extraordinary person."
There is nothing wrong with her wanting to be lifted up and said nice things.
Because Yun Xi heard what the two of them said earlier, she felt disgusted in her heart, and said lightly: "You two are strangers."
"My mother is Zi Ran's aunt. I heard that Zi Ran and Shizi Yun are good friends."
The friendship between Yun Shen and Wen Ziran is no secret in the capital.
Wu Jiangshi smiled, "This is my eldest daughter-in-law Leng Mei."
Yun Xi understood, if her prediction was correct, these two should be Wu Sihui's mother, Wu Jiangshi, and the other is Wu Jiangshi's daughter-in-law, Leng Ruomei.No wonder these two people held so much malice towards Yan Ling.
She looked indifferent, and just nodded to show that she knew.Even if these two wanted to have a relationship with her, as Yan Ling's good friend, she would not be able to get close to them.
Both Yindan and Liqiu held the make-up gift prepared by Yunxi in their hands, and walked into Dai's house together with Yunxi.
With a hot face and a cold butt, Wu Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked ugly.Wu Jiangshi looked at Yun Xi's back and cursed in a low voice; "The friends I made are also such impolite ones, so one can imagine Dai Yanling's upbringing."
Hearing this, Yun Xi sneered, turned around and said, "No matter how ignorant of etiquette, it's better than gossip behind people's backs. My family, Yan Ling, is only worthy of making friends with low-class people like us, people like your mansion, It's better not to come to the door, under the Dai family temple, there is no room for distinguished guests like you."
The sarcasm in the words couldn't be more obvious.Yun Xi and Wu Jiang's, whichever is of low status, even a three-year-old child can choose the correct answer.The Wu family was once prominent back then, otherwise Mrs. Wen, the daughter of the Wu family, would not have been able to marry into the Wen family.It's a pity that the descendants are unworthy and slowly declined.The Wu family wanted to cling to Wen Ziran, but also hoped that Wu Sihui could support the Wu family after she married.
Wu Jiangshi didn't expect Du Yunxi to hear every word she said to her daughter-in-law, her face flushed red.
A few wives just arrived next to them. Seeing this step, they looked at Wu Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with surprise eyes.
Wu Jiangshi was so ashamed and indignant, he wished he could turn around and leave.
Her eldest daughter-in-law, Leng Ruomei, was also flustered with embarrassment - she didn't expect to be caught for telling people's stories behind her back, and she wondered in her heart if Du Yunxi had dog ears, so clever.But he asked in a low voice: "Mom, do we want to go back?"
Wu Jiang's complexion changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Why do you want to go back, I still have to see how much the dowry is for this shabby household." She sneered, "If there is less, then it is not worthy of the Wen family."
Leng Ruomei didn't speak, but thought in her heart: Even if the Dai family's dowry is reduced, the two families are already engaged, so it is impossible to regret the marriage for this reason.It's just that it's impossible for her to tell such a big truth, offending her mother-in-law for nothing.She could only understand in her heart that her mother-in-law got into a corner because her sister-in-law's marriage was not going well.
As soon as Yun Xi entered Dai's house, she was led into the backyard.She was neither too early nor too late.
Yang Yurong's mother, Yang Lishi, smiled when she saw her, "I knew you would definitely come." Standing beside her was Yang Yurong.
Yang Yurong is also fourteen now, showing a bit of a young girl's figure, slim and graceful.She still likes Yun Xi very much, smiled and approached, "Sister Yun Xi."
Seeing her ruddy complexion, Yun Xi laughed and joked, "Our family's Yu Rong is also a big girl."
Yang Yurong's cheeks flushed, "My sister has also learned badly."
A woman next to her asked: "Is there a marriage agreement for Miss Yang? With such a good looks, I will definitely find Mr. Right."
Yang Yurong is Yang Li's first child, and because she has been weak since she was a child, Yang Li naturally loves her eldest daughter the most. She gave Yang Yurong a loving look, "Yurong is still a child. We managed to get her body Raise well, I want to stay for a few more years."
Speaking of this, she thanked Du Yunxi 12 points. If she hadn't taught Yu Rong the five-animal show, Yu Rong's health would not have recovered so quickly.
Everyone also sent their makeup gifts one after another.Mrs. Yang and Li were Mrs. Dai's handkerchief, so they were very generous, just a set of silver noodles and two jade hairpins.Others basically send silk and jewelry.
But when Yun Xi took out her makeup, the audience fell silent.The Donghua Pearl is of excellent color, and its brilliance is flowing. The jewelry itself is custom-made by Dianjiang Pavilion, with exquisite and complicated styles. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this set is worth at least 4000 taels of silver. At least it is equivalent to 6000 taels.
Yun Xi didn't think it was so precious.The materials for her hair are all off-the-shelf, that is to say, there is a manual fee for custom-made jewelry - less than 100 taels of silver.As for Qianhe ointment and essential oil, she produced it herself, and the combined cost is less than 20 taels.
When she got married, Mrs. Dai gave her the former official kiln sky blue glaze pen holder worth at least two or three thousand taels of silver, and Yan Ling even gave her some of her favorite jewelry.
Mrs. Dai also said: "This is really too expensive."
Yun Xi said: "I can't run out of those Dongzhu, so I just took them out to make jewelry. Yan Ling is my best friend, this is a good day in her life, and I should give her a big gift."
Everyone was speechless for a moment: To be able to say that Dongzhu can't be used up is really the highest state of luxury, and everyone can't tell what it feels like.
Wu Jiangshi and her eldest daughter-in-law just came in, and when they saw Yun Xi's make-up ceremony, their expressions also changed.
Mrs. Dai's eyes fell on the long sword wrapped in red cloth.
Yin Dan opened the red cloth directly, and said with a smile: "My girl happened to get a good sword by chance, and she didn't lack it herself, so I gave it to Miss Dai."
After finishing speaking, she drew out her long sword. The sharpness of the sword overshadowed other gorgeous jewelry, but the set of Dongzhu head and face complemented it beautifully.Even though these noble ladies don't know how to appreciate swords, they can still see that the value of this sword is not inferior to that set of Dongzhu heads, and they understand that this sword is clearly prepared for Wen Ziran.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The relationship between Princess Ming and the eldest daughter of the Dai family is too good, and the relationship between the same sisters is almost the same.
Yun Xi usually keeps a low profile in her work, but today she rarely made a high profile one, just to support Yan Ling.Judging from the expressions of the people present, she completed this task quite satisfactorily.
Wu Jiang's family cursed in their hearts: If you have a little money, you will show it off. You really are an upstart.
"Huh? Isn't this Mrs. Wu? Why are you here?" The person who recognized Wu Jiang greeted her.
Wu Jiang tried her best to express a kind expression, "I just came to see my niece and daughter-in-law. After all, I watched Zi Ran grow up." She looked like a loving aunt.
Mrs. Dai became vigilant in her heart: she knew that Wu Jiangshi's daughter Wu Sihui liked her son-in-law before, and Wu Jiangshi's arrival today is clearly because the visitor is not kind.
Yun Xi smiled, "I don't know what kind of makeup gift Mrs. Wu brought, and it also opened my eyes as a junior."
The smile on Wu Jiang's face froze, and she had no choice but to let everyone see her, so she took out her makeup gift.
After everyone saw the gift, a trace of disdain flashed across their faces—it turned out to be a three-foot muslin cloth.For people like them, if they don't have a bolt of silk for the makeup gift, they feel that they can't afford it.With such a gift, the Wu family is really embarrassed to come to the door.
Yun Xi smiled instead, "This is probably sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. It really is a loving aunt."
Everyone who said a word couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing - the words of Princess Ming are really hurtful.However, the Wu Jiang family kept saying that they were close to Wen Ziran, and they didn't invite them to come over to put on makeup today, but what they brought out was something like this, no wonder everyone couldn't see it.It's really petty.
No wonder the Wen family didn't want to marry them.
Wu Jiang's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.She hated Dai Yanling so much in her heart, she was not willing to take out good things from the warehouse to add makeup to Dai Yanling, she thought it was just a private gift, but who knew that Du Yunxi wanted to watch it on the spot, making her lose face in front of everyone.
Yun Xi continued to hurt others with a strong will, "It is the Wu family and other prominent people who dare to give such a make-up gift. After all, they are full of confidence, and no matter what they give, they will not damage their status. People like us who are not popular, I have to take out more things so as not to be frightened.”
Her words were both positive and negative, and she pointed out what Wu Jiang said just now.If the Wu Jiang clan dared to look down on Yan Ling, she dared to tear off the true face of her so-called loving aunt.
Wu Jiangshi forced a smile and said: "I was just joking with my eldest daughter-in-law, who would have known that such a trivial matter, the Princess will keep it in mind."
Yun Xi covered her lips and smiled, "I was joking with you too, how could I know that you can't take jokes like this." The sarcasm on the corners of her eyes and brows made her facial features show a bit of sharp beauty, which is no longer the usual one. A sense of weakness.
Wu Jiangshi was bathed in the astonished eyes of the crowd, like a glow on his back.
Yang Li asked: "Why does Yun Xi like to joke all of a sudden?"
Yun Xi has always given people the impression that she is gentle and polite. Basically, as long as she doesn't offend her, she is always easy to get along with. This is the first time she has seen Yun Xi target people like this.
Yun Xi didn't save Wu Jiang's face at all, and just repeated the conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the door, and finally said with a smile: "It can be seen that I haven't been in the capital long enough, so I can't understand the jokes made by the people in the capital. "
The faces of the people present were not very good-looking, but they were all labeled as "not popular" by the Wu Jiang family.Several of the lords have much higher official positions than Wu Jiang's husband.
One of them, Mrs. Li, whose husband happened to be Wu Jiang's husband, Shangfeng, she said with a smirk: "I grew up in the capital, but I have never heard of such jokes." After returning home, she had to blow the pillow and ask her husband to wear shoes for Mr. Wu.
Yun Xi felt that Wu Jiang's face was really thick-skinned. If it was someone else, he would have left in shame.Fortunately, she continued to stay even though her face looked as if she had opened a dyeing workshop.
With such a thick skin and being Wen Ziran's aunt, even if she felt extremely disgusted with her in her heart, Mrs. Dai would not be able to drive the two of them out.It's not easy for her to let herself be reduced to the same upbringing as this Wu Jiang family.
Mrs. Dai led everyone to see her daughter's dowry—to be honest, her daughter's dowry made her very proud, and it was all earned by Yan Ling, and the public didn't spend much money.
Yanling's furniture is not the same as Yunxi's, they are all huanghuali wood and nanmu, but they are also high-grade rosewood, and there are also a few pieces of nanmu and huanghuali wood furniture.
Yun Xi smiled slightly, she knew that the Dai family bought furniture through Lai San's help, and Lai San had many contacts, and he could always find high-quality and cheap furniture.
Everyone can't help but praise the furniture alone.The field shops that everyone pays most attention to are also very impressive.There are [-] acres of land, of which [-] acres are in the capital, and the remaining [-] acres are in Chuzhou.The land in Chuzhou is much cheaper than in the capital, and the Dai family also has roots in Chuzhou, so Mrs. Dai bought [-] mu of land for her daughter there.
As for the shops, they are mainly the ones that Yan Ling and Yun Xi opened together. Besides, there are also two shops in the capital.Looking at the furniture and shops alone, the dowry is equivalent to 7 taels.All the dowries add up to eighty lifts.
In all fairness, this kind of dowry is said to be believed by the Houmen girls.
The rest of the jewelry and satins were prepared by Mrs. Dai since she was a child, and the Dai family also had some friendship with the imperial merchant Yang's family, so they bought Tianshuibi, Yuehua brocade, Yun brocade, etc. at a relatively favorable price from her.For Mrs. Dai, the most expensive part of this dowry, apart from the property, is the jewelry.
Everyone exchanged glances: Dai Yanling's dowry was really beyond everyone's expectations. With such a generous dowry, it's not particularly high-flying for her to marry into the Wen family.
Mrs. Dai listened to everyone's compliments, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly in joy.Although her Yan Ling's dowry was not as good as that of Yun Xi who got married last month, it was quite affordable.These dowries were purchased with Yan Ling's own money. Mrs. Dai privately took out 5000 taels of silver from her own body to make the bottom of the box for her daughter. Ten thousand taels, not to mention that Yan Ling still has more than 5000 taels of silver left.Previously, for Dai Yanxi's dowry, the public also paid 1 taels, and it was the turn of Yan Ling, the prostitute, of course, it couldn't be less than her.
This is obviously not what Wu Jiangshi wants to see, her face is full of disbelief.
Isn't the Dai family just an official of the fifth rank?How can you come up with such a generous dowry.
Before she opened her mouth, a forty-year-old lady in honey-colored clothes said: "It can be seen that your family really loves your daughter, but I remember that the second young master of your mansion hasn't married yet, right?"
The implication is that the Dai family spent a large sum of money to buy their daughter a dowry. Wouldn't this dilute the family property belonging to other sons?
Yun Xi was speechless immediately. How the Dai family spends money and how to distribute the family property is the Dai family's business. There is no reason for outsiders to speak.Yan Ling's second elder brother is almost twenty now, but because he planned to wait until next year's exam to discuss the marriage, he delayed until now.Originally, he also talked about a marriage in Chuzhou, but the family did not know which high-ranking official he was. After he was promoted, he regretted it and found a reason to withdraw from the marriage.Therefore, Mrs. Dai held her breath and planned to find a better marriage for her son than that family.
Speaking of which, after Yanling married Wen Ziran, that family wanted to climb up again.It's a pity that Mrs. Dai would not want to see the true face of their family.Anyway, men are different from women, there are a lot of things to get married in their twenties, unlike girls who can't afford to delay.
Li Qiu secretly sent a voice transmission to Yun Xi, telling her that it was Mrs. Zhang, the fourth grade Dianyi, who said that just now.It is said that some time ago, the Zhang family wanted to talk to the Dai family about the marriage between the second daughter of the Zhang family and the second brother Yan Ling.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, the two families hadn't confirmed their marriage yet, and the Zhang family felt sorry for their daughter's family property after joining, and they were speechless to the extreme.Thinking about it, after today, there should be no more details about the marriage between the two families.
Mrs. Zhang spoke first, and the Wu Jiang family was not to be outdone, "Yes, my family is also a family of officials and officials, and I can't afford so much money. It can be seen that it is better to get money from Zhizhou."
This directly means that the Dai family accepted bribes, which is why they saved so much money.
Mrs. Dai smiled slightly, and said calmly: "My master is not as capable as my daughter. The dowry was earned by my daughter herself."
Yun Xi said: "It can be seen that some people, whoever they are, think that others think the same as her. As the saying goes, evil spirits are hidden in their hearts, and there are no good people in their eyes. Madam Wu must be very sorry that she doesn't have this opportunity."
Wu Jiangshi couldn't hold back anymore, his face twisted directly.
Yun Xi continued; "Last year, the major gambling houses made a bet between Li Linglan, the second lady of the Li family, and Su Wan, the granddaughter of Su Xueshi. At that time, Yan Ling also took out 5000 taels of silver on Miss Su, and earned a lot of money for herself. .In addition, she cooperated with me to open a store before, and the annual dividends are quite a lot. With her ability, she can naturally buy such a dowry for herself. "
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that in that big bet at that time, many people lost a lot, and some people made a fortune from it.Everyone didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Dai family was actually one of them, and she suppressed a lot.
Everyone felt a little sour in their hearts: It would have been nice if they had done the right thing at the time.
Mrs. Dai said indifferently: "Although my family is a lowly official, I dare not do such illegal things."
Yun Xi said: "Who would count on this kind of money?"
A lady couldn't help but said: "It's also fortunate that the Wu family is not a magistrate." Otherwise, I don't know how much money I would use my official position to get here.
Wu Jiangshi couldn't stay any longer, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down with the greatest willpower, and forced a smile, "I got up early today, and I feel a little dizzy, I'm leaving first."
Before she left, an arrogant and clear voice came from the door, "I'm late."
Yun Xi turned her head, with a faint smile in her eyes, Lu Yiran came.
Lu Yiran was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress, like a blazing flame, burning everyone's eyes.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Dai couldn't help feeling flattered.
Lu Yiran walked over in a hurry, and glanced at Wu Jiangshi with a faint scrutiny.
Yun Xi joked with a smile, "You shouldn't have come here, or you will become a low-class family."
While speaking, he glanced at Wu Jiangshi.
Lu Yiran is smart, but usually likes to cover herself with a domineering performance, she chuckled, "Oh?"
Wu Jiang's family was already panic-stricken, but Yun Xi's words and Lu Yiran's eyes undoubtedly became the last straw that overwhelmed her. Her eyes darkened and she fainted.
Lu Yiran clicked his tongue, and said with disdain, "It's really petty."
Wu Jiang's daughter-in-law dared not speak out, and quickly helped her mother-in-law up with the help of her maid, and left in despair.Today, their Wu family might have lost face in front of everyone.
Lu Yiran immediately walked to Yun Xi's side, and motioned to her maid, Nian Qiu, to bring the makeup gift.As a princess, Lu Yiran has a lot of good things in her hands, but she can't afford the bad ones.She directly gave a set of emerald hair masks, and it was ice jade, which made people amazed at her generosity.
Besides Lu Yiran, some other families also came one after another.For example, Tao Huanhuan's mother Tao Shi, Mrs. Hubu Zuo Shilang...all of them are famous figures even in the capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
This made everyone look at the Dai family with admiration. Even though the Dai family is not a show of beauty, they got to know so many people.
But Mrs. Dai knew in her heart that the reason why these ladies came was because of the friendship between Yan Ling and their daughter.The reason why Yan Ling knew them was also because of Yun Xi's relationship.
The husband is Dianyi's Zhang Tang, seeing these families that the Dai family came and went, suppressed the arrogance in his heart.Originally thought that her husband's official position was higher than that of Dai Hai, and her daughter was considered a low-marriage after marriage. She thought that her daughter was beautiful and beautiful, and would have a great future in the future.If it wasn't for the fact that Dai's family was about to marry Houmen Wen's family, how would she want to.
That's why when he saw Dai Yanling's generous dowry, he couldn't help but say those inappropriate words.Her precious daughter didn't marry to suffer, and she couldn't spend all of Dai's family for a daughter.
After seeing this scene, she was already very willing to this marriage, and she also showed a little bit of honor on her face.
Little did they know that Mrs. Dai had already removed the Zhang family from the marriage list after her words.She doesn't want to have in-laws who point fingers before they get started.
After giving the makeup gift, Yun Xi, Lu Yiran, Yang Yurong and others went directly to Dai Yanling's yard to look for her.Dai Yanling was playing leaf cards in the room alone to pass the time.She was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress today, with a touch of rouge on her face. Compared with her usual heroic vigor, she was a little more feminine and feminine.
As soon as they entered the room, they heard the parrot that Wen Ziran gave Dai Yanling earlier shouting constantly: "Bring a precious son early! Have a precious son early!"
Yun Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Dai Yanling glared angrily at Tangerine and Chengzi who couldn't help laughing, "It's all them, teach me something."
Tao Huan said with a smile: "This is serious business, well taught! Where did you buy this parrot, so smart?"
Tangerine pursed her lips and smiled, "It's my uncle's birthday present."
Tao Huanhuan suddenly realized that she happened to have something to do that day, so she didn't come to participate, she just asked someone to send a gift.
A group of girls were laughing and chatting, Lu Yiran only stayed for half an hour because he still had something to do, and then left.
The others returned to their seats after the banquet started, but Yun Xi stayed behind and talked with Dai Yanling about what happened when they put on makeup earlier.
Dai Yanling frowned first, and then relaxed, "I just need to keep my face down." Fortunately, Mrs. Wen was still at home to support them.
Yun Xi said: "After today's incident spread, the Wu family should calm down a lot."
Dai Yanling was a little annoyed: "It's really unreasonable for them to have a good life. Getting married is a matter of mutual affection, so how can they be so self-centered and wishful thinking." After they failed, they blamed it on her.
Yun Xi shook her head, "Be careful that their family will be so shameless that they want to marry Wu Sihui over as a concubine."
Yan Ling frowned, "Zi Ran is not that kind of person."
Yun Xi was just reminding her. The behavior of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today doesn't look like they just came here to find fault.What Yun Xi didn't know was that she had guessed quite right.Originally, the Wu Jiang clan planned to come over to see Yan Ling's dowry, and when the time came to let their daughter marry, they would prepare more dowry and slap Yan Ling in the face.
After all, Wu Sihui's fiancé "ke" died, and the market plummeted. Wu Jiang felt that it would be better to be a concubine for her nephew than to let her daughter lower her status and marry those crooked melons. As Mrs. Wen's natal niece, Wu Sihui said Maybe it can overwhelm Dai Yanling, a shabby householder.
Yan Ling nodded vigorously, "I will pay attention."
Yun Xi talked to her about Zhang Tang's behavior again, and Dai Yanling said indifferently, "Even if Miss Zhang is a fairy, if there is such a careless mother, my mother will definitely not let her be my sister-in-law."
She also felt that Zhang Tang's actions were really ridiculous, thinking about dividing the property before entering the house.Looking at her, Yun Xi didn't seem to be nervous as a so-called newlywed.
When she teased Yan Ling about this, Yan Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes, "When you have to embroider ten purses a day, you won't have time to be nervous." Look at the pinhole above.
"My mother said that my needlework was too bad. After I got married, even if I occasionally gave them a purse, I couldn't do it. During this time, I have to practice. She said that it would be better if I didn't ask for practice, at least not more than ten years old. The girl is bad. It's just that I really don't have such a muscle!"
Yun Xi felt very sympathetic to her, but she didn't need it.Occasionally, she would embroider a handkerchief for Yun Shen, and ask Yun Shen to inscribe directly, and she would embroider according to the words.
The two were talking intimately when Dai Yanxi came.
Dai Yanxi was wearing a snow-blue dress today, and after being raised at home for a few months, she has developed the rounded feeling of the past.
She smiled gently at Yan Ling and Yun Xi, and said, "Today is a good day for my sister, and I can't get anything good, so I can only embroider a padded jacket for my sister myself."
Yun Xi looked at her smiling like this, but felt something was wrong all over her body, and felt a strong sense of disobedience.
(End of this chapter)
In order to be able to successfully rescue her daughter, Aunt Cheng worked hard, and she did not hesitate to expose this matter.
She is also a motherly heart.
Yun Xi was quite moved, and said: "Give Yun Qi a check on the medicine residue." Yun Qi's medical skills are the best when Yun Da reaches Yun Shi.
Yun Qi came soon. After checking it once, he said calmly: "There is a lot of kansui in it, which is incompatible with the hay in the prescription, which greatly reduces the curative effect."
Yun Xi's tone was sarcastic: "It's no wonder that Mr. Ren has been sick for so long, and he has become a tool for my daughter to show off." Thinking about Ren Congwen's illness at that time, no matter how much medicine he took, he did not get better.As a result, when Ren Ziqing went to show off her filial piety, Ren Congwen's illness improved a lot.
Ren Ziqing was worried that if Ren Congwen got better all of a sudden, she would lose her reputation in the future, so she played the trick of sustainable development.
When Ren Congwen's condition had just recovered, this practice really gave her a lot of good reputation.
She looked at Aunt Cheng who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Don't worry, they won't succeed."
"If it doesn't work, you'll make your daughter have a serious illness." She paused and said, "I can provide you with medicine, so that your daughter will feel as if she is seriously ill after taking it."
Aunt Cheng worried: "Will the medicine hurt your body?"
Yun Xi shook her head, and said: "The medicine is not harmful to the body. After stopping using it, within a month, the pulse will show that it is slowly recovering."
Aunt Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully, "Thank you Princess."
Yun Xi said: "If he doesn't care about your daughter's health and insists on switching the two of them, then you tell me, and I will naturally reveal this matter."
Aunt Cheng said: "Thank you Princess for your help."
Rather than saying that Yun Xi was helping Ren Ziyan, it might be better to say that she just didn't want to see Ren Ziqing escape so easily, so wouldn't the previous hard work of her and Yiran be in vain.She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Ren Congguang was really bold and reckless, and that such a thing could be done, it was simply contempt for the law.
But this is from another point of view, and it also shows that Ren Ziqing has indeed grasped the evidence that Ren Congguang confirmed, so Ren Congguang will not hesitate to use this method to get her out.
After Aunt Cheng sneaked out from the back door, Li Qiu asked puzzledly, "Girl, why didn't Aunt Cheng tell Ren Congwen about this?"
If Ren Congwen knew that his favorite daughter-in-law would drug him for the sake of fame, his heart would be chilled.
Yun Xi said softly: "The evidence is insufficient, and the medicine residue alone can't say anything. After all, the medicine residue was several days ago, and even Mrs. Ren can beat her up and say that Aunt Cheng deliberately framed Ren Ziqing."
This kind of thing can't be used as evidence unless it is caught on the spot.
Yin Dan was indignant, "Could it be possible to really let her escape?"
The corners of Yun Xi's lips twitched, "But we don't have a solution. Just ask the people in the pharmacy to find an excuse to find Ren Congwen. For example, fabricate a note saying that Ren Ziqing forgot to pay for the medicine. Ren Ziqing is in the cell. People who don’t belong to Ren’s family can still go to the cell and ask her if she forgot to pay for something?”
"As long as Ren Congwen knows what Ren Ziqing bought, as long as someone pretends to casually mention the role of kansui in his ear. It is related to his own physical problems, and he will definitely send someone to investigate. People always tend to The results of his own investigation are much more useful than the evidence we put in front of him."
Yin Dan nodded in admiration, "The girl is still smart."
Li Qiu immediately arranged for this matter.With this group of capable maidservants around, it did save Yun Xi a lot of effort.
When Yun Shen came back in the evening, Yun Xi told him about it.Since they got married, they hardly ever hide anything from each other.The matter of Ren Ziqing seems to be just a personal grievance between Yun Xi and her, but because of the involvement of Ren Congguang, the importance has greatly increased.
Yun Shen said: "It seems that we can find a breakthrough from Ren Ziqing."
As a result, the next day, Yun Xi received the news that Ren Ziqing's current "residence" had been transferred from the big prison in Shuntian Mansion to the sky prison.According to Chu Xiyuan, what Ren Ziqing slandered was the princess of a country, not the usual gossip.
For a while, everyone turned their attention to Yun Xi again, and couldn't help feeling: This Princess Ming is really favored.
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth couldn't help twitching, Chu Xiyuan was clearly using her as a cover, the real situation was to pry Ren Ziqing's mouth open and break through from her.This is good, everyone in the capital thinks this is Yun Xi's special treatment.Even Ren Congguang would not suspect this.
After thinking about it, Yun Xi realized that this was also beneficial.Anyway, no one would dare to attack her casually in the future.On the other hand, the Sky Prison is not a place where Ren Congguang can use his means. After Ren Ziqing was brought to that place, Ren Congguang had no choice but to hide it.This can be regarded as an explanation to Aunt Cheng.
A few days later, Yun Xi received the news: Ren Ziqing's mother suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, and the housekeeping rights temporarily fell into the hands of the other two concubines.Ren Ziyan, Ren Congwen's concubine, has also arranged a marriage, although it is not a prominent family.She knew in her heart that Ren Congwen had made a move.
On April 26, she got up early in the morning. After washing and washing, Yun Xi put on a moon white embroidered gown, and underneath was a light purple pleated skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, which was elegant and chic.Yun Xi fiddled with her jewelry box, and said, "Today, I'll bring peaches and offer three thousand emerald hairpins inlaid with pearls and stones."
The three thousand peach hairpins inlaid with pearls and stones and emerald flowers were very delicately made, and it was a gift from Chu Xiyuan, so it is very good to wear it on this occasion.
After that, she chose another pair of emerald pearl earrings and a suet white jade bracelet, which set off her wrists as white as jade. Apart from that, she didn't need any more jewelry.This is just right, it not only highlights her status, but also looks exquisite and luxurious, and it is not too heavy.Yun Xi is most annoyed by the one with hairpins all over her head, who looks like a nouveau riche.
It just so happened that the Yang family sent this season's new clothes a few days ago. The clothes in Yunxi's yard are all sewn by the best embroiderers in Yunfu, and everyone has two pieces.Today, Yindan and Liqiu simply put on new clothes, and they even put on hairpins made of Donghua beads rewarded by Yunxi.
Seeing their outfits, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Those who don't know think you two are twin sisters."
The clothes of the two are of the same style, but the colors and patterns are different. For example, Yindan is embroidered with light yellow pear flowers, while Liqiu is embroidered with light blue peach flowers.
Yindan said: "I don't mind having multiple younger sisters." Liqiu is one year younger than Yindan.
Liqiu smiled, "I don't mind having multiple sisters, but I'm afraid that Hu Yang will cry and say that I stole her sister." Hu Yang is Yindan's younger sister, and now she is by Yunyao's side.Although the two sisters are separated, because they are both in the capital, and Yun Xi often goes home, they still see each other often.Yin Dan even shared half of the pearls he received with his younger sister.
Yin Dan smiled and said: "Hu Yang is the most generous person, and she is not the kind of stingy person. She will only be happy that there is another sister who loves her." She paused, and said: "Since I am a sister, I have to give it to my sister. If a meeting ceremony is worse than the hairpin you wear, I won't accept it."
Yin Dan directly begged for a gift for his younger sister, and it was because they were very familiar with each other that they joked like this.
Li Qiu retorted, "Okay, then you, the older sister, should give me a meeting gift first."
Yun Xi looked at the two of them joking with each other with a smile, and immediately said, "Okay, let them bring the breakfast."
After breakfast, Yun Xi took the makeup gifts she had prepared and set off for Dai's house.Dai's house is about half an hour's drive away from her house. After all, Yun Xi's house is located in the most affluent area in the capital, and every inch of land is precious.
As a member of the official department, Dai Hai really doesn't have the capital to buy a house here.Any three-entry house here costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you can't buy it if you have money.Yun Xi was directly rewarded by the emperor, saving such a lot of effort.
Mrs. Dai is upright and straightforward. After coming to the capital, she has met many families. In addition, her eldest daughter, Dai Yanling, is married to the well-known first-class Wen family in the capital, so she came here today to add makeup. There are quite a few people here, as you can tell by the row of gorgeous carriages parked at the door.
Yun Xi usually likes to drive lightly and travel easily, and doesn't like to put on ceremonies. Today, in order to support Yan Ling, she directly drove over in the princess' car.
Getting off the carriage, Yun Xi happened to hear a woman next to her whisper: "I didn't expect that there are quite a few people who put makeup on Miss Dai's family."
A woman in a red gown next to her said: "Who knows if they are all low-class people. When I think that my sister fell on such a family, I am not worth it for my sister."
The two of them spoke in a low voice, thinking that others could not hear them.It's just that Yun Xi's hearing ability is outstanding, and she directly took their words into her ears, and she couldn't help but frown.Which one is this?Why are you so rude.
The two turned their heads, just in time to see Yun Xi, their eyes fell on the princess's car, and they couldn't help but concentrate.There are not many princesses in the capital, one is Xue Yingying, one is Du Yunxi, and there were originally Lin Miaoqin and her sister Lin Miaoyin.It's just that Lin Miaoqin got married, and Lin Miaoyin married out of town... Let's get in touch again about her appearance and friendship with the Dai family.
The two of them also recognized Yun Xi's identity, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
The leading woman was the first to say hello, "I think this is Mrs. Yun, she really is an extraordinary person."
There is nothing wrong with her wanting to be lifted up and said nice things.
Because Yun Xi heard what the two of them said earlier, she felt disgusted in her heart, and said lightly: "You two are strangers."
"My mother is Zi Ran's aunt. I heard that Zi Ran and Shizi Yun are good friends."
The friendship between Yun Shen and Wen Ziran is no secret in the capital.
Wu Jiangshi smiled, "This is my eldest daughter-in-law Leng Mei."
Yun Xi understood, if her prediction was correct, these two should be Wu Sihui's mother, Wu Jiangshi, and the other is Wu Jiangshi's daughter-in-law, Leng Ruomei.No wonder these two people held so much malice towards Yan Ling.
She looked indifferent, and just nodded to show that she knew.Even if these two wanted to have a relationship with her, as Yan Ling's good friend, she would not be able to get close to them.
Both Yindan and Liqiu held the make-up gift prepared by Yunxi in their hands, and walked into Dai's house together with Yunxi.
With a hot face and a cold butt, Wu Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked ugly.Wu Jiangshi looked at Yun Xi's back and cursed in a low voice; "The friends I made are also such impolite ones, so one can imagine Dai Yanling's upbringing."
Hearing this, Yun Xi sneered, turned around and said, "No matter how ignorant of etiquette, it's better than gossip behind people's backs. My family, Yan Ling, is only worthy of making friends with low-class people like us, people like your mansion, It's better not to come to the door, under the Dai family temple, there is no room for distinguished guests like you."
The sarcasm in the words couldn't be more obvious.Yun Xi and Wu Jiang's, whichever is of low status, even a three-year-old child can choose the correct answer.The Wu family was once prominent back then, otherwise Mrs. Wen, the daughter of the Wu family, would not have been able to marry into the Wen family.It's a pity that the descendants are unworthy and slowly declined.The Wu family wanted to cling to Wen Ziran, but also hoped that Wu Sihui could support the Wu family after she married.
Wu Jiangshi didn't expect Du Yunxi to hear every word she said to her daughter-in-law, her face flushed red.
A few wives just arrived next to them. Seeing this step, they looked at Wu Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with surprise eyes.
Wu Jiangshi was so ashamed and indignant, he wished he could turn around and leave.
Her eldest daughter-in-law, Leng Ruomei, was also flustered with embarrassment - she didn't expect to be caught for telling people's stories behind her back, and she wondered in her heart if Du Yunxi had dog ears, so clever.But he asked in a low voice: "Mom, do we want to go back?"
Wu Jiang's complexion changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Why do you want to go back, I still have to see how much the dowry is for this shabby household." She sneered, "If there is less, then it is not worthy of the Wen family."
Leng Ruomei didn't speak, but thought in her heart: Even if the Dai family's dowry is reduced, the two families are already engaged, so it is impossible to regret the marriage for this reason.It's just that it's impossible for her to tell such a big truth, offending her mother-in-law for nothing.She could only understand in her heart that her mother-in-law got into a corner because her sister-in-law's marriage was not going well.
As soon as Yun Xi entered Dai's house, she was led into the backyard.She was neither too early nor too late.
Yang Yurong's mother, Yang Lishi, smiled when she saw her, "I knew you would definitely come." Standing beside her was Yang Yurong.
Yang Yurong is also fourteen now, showing a bit of a young girl's figure, slim and graceful.She still likes Yun Xi very much, smiled and approached, "Sister Yun Xi."
Seeing her ruddy complexion, Yun Xi laughed and joked, "Our family's Yu Rong is also a big girl."
Yang Yurong's cheeks flushed, "My sister has also learned badly."
A woman next to her asked: "Is there a marriage agreement for Miss Yang? With such a good looks, I will definitely find Mr. Right."
Yang Yurong is Yang Li's first child, and because she has been weak since she was a child, Yang Li naturally loves her eldest daughter the most. She gave Yang Yurong a loving look, "Yurong is still a child. We managed to get her body Raise well, I want to stay for a few more years."
Speaking of this, she thanked Du Yunxi 12 points. If she hadn't taught Yu Rong the five-animal show, Yu Rong's health would not have recovered so quickly.
Everyone also sent their makeup gifts one after another.Mrs. Yang and Li were Mrs. Dai's handkerchief, so they were very generous, just a set of silver noodles and two jade hairpins.Others basically send silk and jewelry.
But when Yun Xi took out her makeup, the audience fell silent.The Donghua Pearl is of excellent color, and its brilliance is flowing. The jewelry itself is custom-made by Dianjiang Pavilion, with exquisite and complicated styles. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this set is worth at least 4000 taels of silver. At least it is equivalent to 6000 taels.
Yun Xi didn't think it was so precious.The materials for her hair are all off-the-shelf, that is to say, there is a manual fee for custom-made jewelry - less than 100 taels of silver.As for Qianhe ointment and essential oil, she produced it herself, and the combined cost is less than 20 taels.
When she got married, Mrs. Dai gave her the former official kiln sky blue glaze pen holder worth at least two or three thousand taels of silver, and Yan Ling even gave her some of her favorite jewelry.
Mrs. Dai also said: "This is really too expensive."
Yun Xi said: "I can't run out of those Dongzhu, so I just took them out to make jewelry. Yan Ling is my best friend, this is a good day in her life, and I should give her a big gift."
Everyone was speechless for a moment: To be able to say that Dongzhu can't be used up is really the highest state of luxury, and everyone can't tell what it feels like.
Wu Jiangshi and her eldest daughter-in-law just came in, and when they saw Yun Xi's make-up ceremony, their expressions also changed.
Mrs. Dai's eyes fell on the long sword wrapped in red cloth.
Yin Dan opened the red cloth directly, and said with a smile: "My girl happened to get a good sword by chance, and she didn't lack it herself, so I gave it to Miss Dai."
After finishing speaking, she drew out her long sword. The sharpness of the sword overshadowed other gorgeous jewelry, but the set of Dongzhu head and face complemented it beautifully.Even though these noble ladies don't know how to appreciate swords, they can still see that the value of this sword is not inferior to that set of Dongzhu heads, and they understand that this sword is clearly prepared for Wen Ziran.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The relationship between Princess Ming and the eldest daughter of the Dai family is too good, and the relationship between the same sisters is almost the same.
Yun Xi usually keeps a low profile in her work, but today she rarely made a high profile one, just to support Yan Ling.Judging from the expressions of the people present, she completed this task quite satisfactorily.
Wu Jiang's family cursed in their hearts: If you have a little money, you will show it off. You really are an upstart.
"Huh? Isn't this Mrs. Wu? Why are you here?" The person who recognized Wu Jiang greeted her.
Wu Jiang tried her best to express a kind expression, "I just came to see my niece and daughter-in-law. After all, I watched Zi Ran grow up." She looked like a loving aunt.
Mrs. Dai became vigilant in her heart: she knew that Wu Jiangshi's daughter Wu Sihui liked her son-in-law before, and Wu Jiangshi's arrival today is clearly because the visitor is not kind.
Yun Xi smiled, "I don't know what kind of makeup gift Mrs. Wu brought, and it also opened my eyes as a junior."
The smile on Wu Jiang's face froze, and she had no choice but to let everyone see her, so she took out her makeup gift.
After everyone saw the gift, a trace of disdain flashed across their faces—it turned out to be a three-foot muslin cloth.For people like them, if they don't have a bolt of silk for the makeup gift, they feel that they can't afford it.With such a gift, the Wu family is really embarrassed to come to the door.
Yun Xi smiled instead, "This is probably sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. It really is a loving aunt."
Everyone who said a word couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing - the words of Princess Ming are really hurtful.However, the Wu Jiang family kept saying that they were close to Wen Ziran, and they didn't invite them to come over to put on makeup today, but what they brought out was something like this, no wonder everyone couldn't see it.It's really petty.
No wonder the Wen family didn't want to marry them.
Wu Jiang's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.She hated Dai Yanling so much in her heart, she was not willing to take out good things from the warehouse to add makeup to Dai Yanling, she thought it was just a private gift, but who knew that Du Yunxi wanted to watch it on the spot, making her lose face in front of everyone.
Yun Xi continued to hurt others with a strong will, "It is the Wu family and other prominent people who dare to give such a make-up gift. After all, they are full of confidence, and no matter what they give, they will not damage their status. People like us who are not popular, I have to take out more things so as not to be frightened.”
Her words were both positive and negative, and she pointed out what Wu Jiang said just now.If the Wu Jiang clan dared to look down on Yan Ling, she dared to tear off the true face of her so-called loving aunt.
Wu Jiangshi forced a smile and said: "I was just joking with my eldest daughter-in-law, who would have known that such a trivial matter, the Princess will keep it in mind."
Yun Xi covered her lips and smiled, "I was joking with you too, how could I know that you can't take jokes like this." The sarcasm on the corners of her eyes and brows made her facial features show a bit of sharp beauty, which is no longer the usual one. A sense of weakness.
Wu Jiangshi was bathed in the astonished eyes of the crowd, like a glow on his back.
Yang Li asked: "Why does Yun Xi like to joke all of a sudden?"
Yun Xi has always given people the impression that she is gentle and polite. Basically, as long as she doesn't offend her, she is always easy to get along with. This is the first time she has seen Yun Xi target people like this.
Yun Xi didn't save Wu Jiang's face at all, and just repeated the conversation between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the door, and finally said with a smile: "It can be seen that I haven't been in the capital long enough, so I can't understand the jokes made by the people in the capital. "
The faces of the people present were not very good-looking, but they were all labeled as "not popular" by the Wu Jiang family.Several of the lords have much higher official positions than Wu Jiang's husband.
One of them, Mrs. Li, whose husband happened to be Wu Jiang's husband, Shangfeng, she said with a smirk: "I grew up in the capital, but I have never heard of such jokes." After returning home, she had to blow the pillow and ask her husband to wear shoes for Mr. Wu.
Yun Xi felt that Wu Jiang's face was really thick-skinned. If it was someone else, he would have left in shame.Fortunately, she continued to stay even though her face looked as if she had opened a dyeing workshop.
With such a thick skin and being Wen Ziran's aunt, even if she felt extremely disgusted with her in her heart, Mrs. Dai would not be able to drive the two of them out.It's not easy for her to let herself be reduced to the same upbringing as this Wu Jiang family.
Mrs. Dai led everyone to see her daughter's dowry—to be honest, her daughter's dowry made her very proud, and it was all earned by Yan Ling, and the public didn't spend much money.
Yanling's furniture is not the same as Yunxi's, they are all huanghuali wood and nanmu, but they are also high-grade rosewood, and there are also a few pieces of nanmu and huanghuali wood furniture.
Yun Xi smiled slightly, she knew that the Dai family bought furniture through Lai San's help, and Lai San had many contacts, and he could always find high-quality and cheap furniture.
Everyone can't help but praise the furniture alone.The field shops that everyone pays most attention to are also very impressive.There are [-] acres of land, of which [-] acres are in the capital, and the remaining [-] acres are in Chuzhou.The land in Chuzhou is much cheaper than in the capital, and the Dai family also has roots in Chuzhou, so Mrs. Dai bought [-] mu of land for her daughter there.
As for the shops, they are mainly the ones that Yan Ling and Yun Xi opened together. Besides, there are also two shops in the capital.Looking at the furniture and shops alone, the dowry is equivalent to 7 taels.All the dowries add up to eighty lifts.
In all fairness, this kind of dowry is said to be believed by the Houmen girls.
The rest of the jewelry and satins were prepared by Mrs. Dai since she was a child, and the Dai family also had some friendship with the imperial merchant Yang's family, so they bought Tianshuibi, Yuehua brocade, Yun brocade, etc. at a relatively favorable price from her.For Mrs. Dai, the most expensive part of this dowry, apart from the property, is the jewelry.
Everyone exchanged glances: Dai Yanling's dowry was really beyond everyone's expectations. With such a generous dowry, it's not particularly high-flying for her to marry into the Wen family.
Mrs. Dai listened to everyone's compliments, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly in joy.Although her Yan Ling's dowry was not as good as that of Yun Xi who got married last month, it was quite affordable.These dowries were purchased with Yan Ling's own money. Mrs. Dai privately took out 5000 taels of silver from her own body to make the bottom of the box for her daughter. Ten thousand taels, not to mention that Yan Ling still has more than 5000 taels of silver left.Previously, for Dai Yanxi's dowry, the public also paid 1 taels, and it was the turn of Yan Ling, the prostitute, of course, it couldn't be less than her.
This is obviously not what Wu Jiangshi wants to see, her face is full of disbelief.
Isn't the Dai family just an official of the fifth rank?How can you come up with such a generous dowry.
Before she opened her mouth, a forty-year-old lady in honey-colored clothes said: "It can be seen that your family really loves your daughter, but I remember that the second young master of your mansion hasn't married yet, right?"
The implication is that the Dai family spent a large sum of money to buy their daughter a dowry. Wouldn't this dilute the family property belonging to other sons?
Yun Xi was speechless immediately. How the Dai family spends money and how to distribute the family property is the Dai family's business. There is no reason for outsiders to speak.Yan Ling's second elder brother is almost twenty now, but because he planned to wait until next year's exam to discuss the marriage, he delayed until now.Originally, he also talked about a marriage in Chuzhou, but the family did not know which high-ranking official he was. After he was promoted, he regretted it and found a reason to withdraw from the marriage.Therefore, Mrs. Dai held her breath and planned to find a better marriage for her son than that family.
Speaking of which, after Yanling married Wen Ziran, that family wanted to climb up again.It's a pity that Mrs. Dai would not want to see the true face of their family.Anyway, men are different from women, there are a lot of things to get married in their twenties, unlike girls who can't afford to delay.
Li Qiu secretly sent a voice transmission to Yun Xi, telling her that it was Mrs. Zhang, the fourth grade Dianyi, who said that just now.It is said that some time ago, the Zhang family wanted to talk to the Dai family about the marriage between the second daughter of the Zhang family and the second brother Yan Ling.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, the two families hadn't confirmed their marriage yet, and the Zhang family felt sorry for their daughter's family property after joining, and they were speechless to the extreme.Thinking about it, after today, there should be no more details about the marriage between the two families.
Mrs. Zhang spoke first, and the Wu Jiang family was not to be outdone, "Yes, my family is also a family of officials and officials, and I can't afford so much money. It can be seen that it is better to get money from Zhizhou."
This directly means that the Dai family accepted bribes, which is why they saved so much money.
Mrs. Dai smiled slightly, and said calmly: "My master is not as capable as my daughter. The dowry was earned by my daughter herself."
Yun Xi said: "It can be seen that some people, whoever they are, think that others think the same as her. As the saying goes, evil spirits are hidden in their hearts, and there are no good people in their eyes. Madam Wu must be very sorry that she doesn't have this opportunity."
Wu Jiangshi couldn't hold back anymore, his face twisted directly.
Yun Xi continued; "Last year, the major gambling houses made a bet between Li Linglan, the second lady of the Li family, and Su Wan, the granddaughter of Su Xueshi. At that time, Yan Ling also took out 5000 taels of silver on Miss Su, and earned a lot of money for herself. .In addition, she cooperated with me to open a store before, and the annual dividends are quite a lot. With her ability, she can naturally buy such a dowry for herself. "
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that in that big bet at that time, many people lost a lot, and some people made a fortune from it.Everyone didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Dai family was actually one of them, and she suppressed a lot.
Everyone felt a little sour in their hearts: It would have been nice if they had done the right thing at the time.
Mrs. Dai said indifferently: "Although my family is a lowly official, I dare not do such illegal things."
Yun Xi said: "Who would count on this kind of money?"
A lady couldn't help but said: "It's also fortunate that the Wu family is not a magistrate." Otherwise, I don't know how much money I would use my official position to get here.
Wu Jiangshi couldn't stay any longer, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down with the greatest willpower, and forced a smile, "I got up early today, and I feel a little dizzy, I'm leaving first."
Before she left, an arrogant and clear voice came from the door, "I'm late."
Yun Xi turned her head, with a faint smile in her eyes, Lu Yiran came.
Lu Yiran was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress, like a blazing flame, burning everyone's eyes.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Dai couldn't help feeling flattered.
Lu Yiran walked over in a hurry, and glanced at Wu Jiangshi with a faint scrutiny.
Yun Xi joked with a smile, "You shouldn't have come here, or you will become a low-class family."
While speaking, he glanced at Wu Jiangshi.
Lu Yiran is smart, but usually likes to cover herself with a domineering performance, she chuckled, "Oh?"
Wu Jiang's family was already panic-stricken, but Yun Xi's words and Lu Yiran's eyes undoubtedly became the last straw that overwhelmed her. Her eyes darkened and she fainted.
Lu Yiran clicked his tongue, and said with disdain, "It's really petty."
Wu Jiang's daughter-in-law dared not speak out, and quickly helped her mother-in-law up with the help of her maid, and left in despair.Today, their Wu family might have lost face in front of everyone.
Lu Yiran immediately walked to Yun Xi's side, and motioned to her maid, Nian Qiu, to bring the makeup gift.As a princess, Lu Yiran has a lot of good things in her hands, but she can't afford the bad ones.She directly gave a set of emerald hair masks, and it was ice jade, which made people amazed at her generosity.
Besides Lu Yiran, some other families also came one after another.For example, Tao Huanhuan's mother Tao Shi, Mrs. Hubu Zuo Shilang...all of them are famous figures even in the capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
This made everyone look at the Dai family with admiration. Even though the Dai family is not a show of beauty, they got to know so many people.
But Mrs. Dai knew in her heart that the reason why these ladies came was because of the friendship between Yan Ling and their daughter.The reason why Yan Ling knew them was also because of Yun Xi's relationship.
The husband is Dianyi's Zhang Tang, seeing these families that the Dai family came and went, suppressed the arrogance in his heart.Originally thought that her husband's official position was higher than that of Dai Hai, and her daughter was considered a low-marriage after marriage. She thought that her daughter was beautiful and beautiful, and would have a great future in the future.If it wasn't for the fact that Dai's family was about to marry Houmen Wen's family, how would she want to.
That's why when he saw Dai Yanling's generous dowry, he couldn't help but say those inappropriate words.Her precious daughter didn't marry to suffer, and she couldn't spend all of Dai's family for a daughter.
After seeing this scene, she was already very willing to this marriage, and she also showed a little bit of honor on her face.
Little did they know that Mrs. Dai had already removed the Zhang family from the marriage list after her words.She doesn't want to have in-laws who point fingers before they get started.
After giving the makeup gift, Yun Xi, Lu Yiran, Yang Yurong and others went directly to Dai Yanling's yard to look for her.Dai Yanling was playing leaf cards in the room alone to pass the time.She was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress today, with a touch of rouge on her face. Compared with her usual heroic vigor, she was a little more feminine and feminine.
As soon as they entered the room, they heard the parrot that Wen Ziran gave Dai Yanling earlier shouting constantly: "Bring a precious son early! Have a precious son early!"
Yun Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Dai Yanling glared angrily at Tangerine and Chengzi who couldn't help laughing, "It's all them, teach me something."
Tao Huan said with a smile: "This is serious business, well taught! Where did you buy this parrot, so smart?"
Tangerine pursed her lips and smiled, "It's my uncle's birthday present."
Tao Huanhuan suddenly realized that she happened to have something to do that day, so she didn't come to participate, she just asked someone to send a gift.
A group of girls were laughing and chatting, Lu Yiran only stayed for half an hour because he still had something to do, and then left.
The others returned to their seats after the banquet started, but Yun Xi stayed behind and talked with Dai Yanling about what happened when they put on makeup earlier.
Dai Yanling frowned first, and then relaxed, "I just need to keep my face down." Fortunately, Mrs. Wen was still at home to support them.
Yun Xi said: "After today's incident spread, the Wu family should calm down a lot."
Dai Yanling was a little annoyed: "It's really unreasonable for them to have a good life. Getting married is a matter of mutual affection, so how can they be so self-centered and wishful thinking." After they failed, they blamed it on her.
Yun Xi shook her head, "Be careful that their family will be so shameless that they want to marry Wu Sihui over as a concubine."
Yan Ling frowned, "Zi Ran is not that kind of person."
Yun Xi was just reminding her. The behavior of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today doesn't look like they just came here to find fault.What Yun Xi didn't know was that she had guessed quite right.Originally, the Wu Jiang clan planned to come over to see Yan Ling's dowry, and when the time came to let their daughter marry, they would prepare more dowry and slap Yan Ling in the face.
After all, Wu Sihui's fiancé "ke" died, and the market plummeted. Wu Jiang felt that it would be better to be a concubine for her nephew than to let her daughter lower her status and marry those crooked melons. As Mrs. Wen's natal niece, Wu Sihui said Maybe it can overwhelm Dai Yanling, a shabby householder.
Yan Ling nodded vigorously, "I will pay attention."
Yun Xi talked to her about Zhang Tang's behavior again, and Dai Yanling said indifferently, "Even if Miss Zhang is a fairy, if there is such a careless mother, my mother will definitely not let her be my sister-in-law."
She also felt that Zhang Tang's actions were really ridiculous, thinking about dividing the property before entering the house.Looking at her, Yun Xi didn't seem to be nervous as a so-called newlywed.
When she teased Yan Ling about this, Yan Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes, "When you have to embroider ten purses a day, you won't have time to be nervous." Look at the pinhole above.
"My mother said that my needlework was too bad. After I got married, even if I occasionally gave them a purse, I couldn't do it. During this time, I have to practice. She said that it would be better if I didn't ask for practice, at least not more than ten years old. The girl is bad. It's just that I really don't have such a muscle!"
Yun Xi felt very sympathetic to her, but she didn't need it.Occasionally, she would embroider a handkerchief for Yun Shen, and ask Yun Shen to inscribe directly, and she would embroider according to the words.
The two were talking intimately when Dai Yanxi came.
Dai Yanxi was wearing a snow-blue dress today, and after being raised at home for a few months, she has developed the rounded feeling of the past.
She smiled gently at Yan Ling and Yun Xi, and said, "Today is a good day for my sister, and I can't get anything good, so I can only embroider a padded jacket for my sister myself."
Yun Xi looked at her smiling like this, but felt something was wrong all over her body, and felt a strong sense of disobedience.
