Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 14 Aunt Dou! (ten)

"Nurse, you have the dowry list that your aunt brought when she got married. Read it to your aunt to see if it contains the coral jewelry she mentioned and the set of pure gold beads inlaid with chrysanthemums."

Miao Douer took his time, called Xiao Jiaozi to bring a stool, sat comfortably at the gate of Miao's house, and said to the mother.

The nanny looked embarrassed and looked at Miao Douer, as if she was begging Miao Douer to save some face for Aunt Zhao.

Miao Douer wanted to save Aunt Zhao some face, but who could stop her from being shameless.

"Mum, you forgot, you just ordered your aunt's dowry, so you don't remember?"

Hearing Miao Douer's words, the mother also remembered that she had stolen a large burden of Miao Douer's mother's dowry privately just now, and she was about to run away but she was caught, so her face turned blue and she bit her grit your teeth.

"Auntie, don't blame me." The nanny whispered, then unfolded the list in her hand and started to read.

"A pair of rich and noble peony porcelain vases with vermilion painted silver, a set of cloisonne inlaid with silver heads, 20 taels of silver patterns, two sets of four-season clothes, and a deed of sale for Hu Cuihua." After finishing reading, the nanny silently rolled up the list in her hand again. Get up and bow your head deeply.

The surrounding neighbors seemed to be waiting for the nanny to continue reading, so as to hear how much dowry this Aunt Zhao had, which made her so arrogant that she dared to insult the orthodox daughter of the Miao family.

Unexpectedly, everyone was listening to the beginning, but they didn't see the nanny continuing to read, and then they started talking about it. Aunt Zhao, who had feelings for her, almost married into this Miao family!

In other families, when daughters get married, they will give their daughters a dowry so that they will not be bullied at their husband's house, which means that all the food and clothing expenses at the husband's house are their own, so that the daughter can stand upright in her husband's house.And this Aunt Zhao's dowry list is actually considered appropriate according to ordinary people.But whose house is this?This is the largest squire Miao's family within a hundred miles!

Even if an ordinary rich family took a concubine, the dowry list would be longer than this!
Aunt Zhao seemed to be in a daze. She had robbed Miao Douer of all the jewelry in Miao Douer's house a few days before her father died, but she didn't remember what she was wearing. her!
Now, the dowry list was read out in public by the nanny, and she seemed to have been hit in the head, making her stay where she was!

Miao Douer didn't mock Aunt Zhao either, she just asked someone to open the box that was brought out just now, and then continued: "Aunt Zhao, you have come to my Miao's house for five years, and during these five years, all the four seasons made for you as usual Clothes, as well as head and face jewelry, I put them in for you, and I counted the fate of the two families. But, what you just said, if I remember correctly, it is my mother’s dowry. Not to mention that you are How to write down my mother’s dowry as your own dowry, how do you know what’s in the mistress’ room, it’s worth asking, don’t you think so?”

Aunt Zhao lay on the spot and trembled all over, raised her head and looked around, then her eyes fell on the nanny, begging the nanny to say a few words for her.

But what could the nanny say?

The nanny who was watched by the aunt still remembered the redemption money that Miao Douer had promised her, so she naturally closed her mouth tightly and looked away.

Miao Douer accepted it when she was ready, and asked someone to record all the other items in the box on the dowry list, then stood up, took the list, and walked to Aunt Zhao.
