The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 169 Yue'e Advises Mother
"Okay, that's it for now!"

Liu Mei clapped her hands: "The life of our family is not easy now. The production in the farm has not been good in the past few years. In addition, there are too many people and it costs money. Now the young master is married, the young lady is married, and the third young lady is married. People, you can't spend money, even though it is said that the eldest lady is marrying the palace, but she can't use the whole family as a dowry, we people also need to eat and drink."

Qin'er didn't show it on her face, she was contemptuous in her heart, but she said: "Ma'am, what you said is very true, Missy must be able to understand."

Liu Mei smiled: "You are a nice girl, that's all, you go down first."

Qin'er carefully saluted and retreated out. As soon as she went out, her face was full of excitement. To be honest, Qin'er didn't think much of Liu Mei. If she wasn't Liu Mei's girl, Liu Mei would also hold the deed of prostitution. I'm afraid she has already voted for Mingzhu.

She always felt that Liu Mei was too petty and not generous.

She saw it, the first wife died early, when the first wife died, the eldest young master and the eldest lady were young, and they could still win them over. It's a pity, Liu Mei has no vision or scheming, and she doesn't know how to comb the cage. The two sons and daughters, on the contrary, are always clever to calculate, so that the young lady and young master who originally wanted to be close to her are now far away, why bother.

No matter what, the eldest son's status as the son of the eldest son has been determined, and he will be the master of the Meng family in the future. It is not a disadvantage to have a good relationship with the eldest master.

Qin'er really doesn't understand what Liu Mei thinks, why she always doesn't understand what's going on here, and competes with the young master and the young lady with all her heart, but it hurts both sides. You know, a century-old family like the Meng family usually Under the circumstances, it is always impossible to fail. Only one's own family will be corrupted from the inside. At that time, once outsiders come in, the whole family will also be ruined.

Qin'er thought about it wildly, shook her head and sighed, she is just a servant, and she is not qualified to talk about the affairs of the masters, it is better to finish what the wife told her first, otherwise, she will be punished when the time comes, and she will not be able to face it of.

Qin'er just left here, and Yue'e brought Yueting into the house. When the two sisters saw Liu Mei, they first smiled and saluted, and then sat down next to Liu Mei, acting like a little girl.

"Mother, I saw Miss Huang's wearing a golden and jade-encrusted hairpin the other day. It's so beautiful. Mother, ask someone to make one for me too." Yue Ting put her arms around Liu Mei's arm. Acting coquettishly, Liu Mei laughed: "Okay, okay, mother, let someone beat you, and we must dress up Yue Ting beautifully."

Yue Ting stuck out her tongue: "Then I have to make one for my sister."

"I know you're close to your sister." Satisfied, Liu Mei scratched Yue Ting's nose, and smiled at her again: "I'm almost married, so I'm not ashamed to act like a baby with my mother."

At this moment, Yue Ting has completely lost her previous coquettish appearance, and she is completely like a little girl, coaxing Liu Mei with words.

Yue'e also loves Yueting very much, she just laughs and doesn't speak when she sits aside.

After a while, Liu Mei took out a stack of papers and handed them to Yue Ting: "Look, mother has been saving dowries for you since you were young, now that you are engaged, naturally you should hurry up and do it. This is the dowry list that mother made for you, you should take a good look at it, if you still want something, when you have time, mother will have someone buy it."

Yue Ting took the paper and looked at it carefully, and it took less than half an hour to finish it. After reading it, she was speechless: "Mother, this is too much, what should I do when my sister gets married? And brother's bride price?"

Liu Mei curled her lips: "Your sister's dowry is naturally prepared by the mother, and your brother's dowry, hehe, the old lady has a lot of private houses, so I think the old lady has to take some out."

In a word, Yue Ting didn't say anything, just laughed, she seemed to be very proud of Liu Mei's preference for her.

However, Yue'e frowned, and after thinking for a while, she looked up at Liu Mei: "Mother, my daughter has something to ask you, tell her the truth."

Seeing Liu Mei nodding, Yue'e said: "Yuechan's dowry is ready, how is it compared to Yueting?"

"Sister..." Yue Ting pouted: "Isn't Yuechan capable? Isn't she amazing? Why does her dowry have to be prepared by mother? Isn't the thing left by her dead ghost mother when she died? Isn't it hers?" Dowry?"

"What Yue Ting said is that Yue Chan has something left by her ex-wife. We only need to prepare a few small things, so why bother to make such a fuss? No matter how much we prepare, she doesn't know how to be grateful. She's just a white-eyed wolf. Why get close." Liu Mei agreed with Yue Ting's words and nodded repeatedly.

Yue'e frowned even tighter, looked at Liu Mei, then looked at Yue Ting, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these two women are really short-sighted, the same only greedy for money, don't know how to look at it in the long run, only greedy for short-term interests , there is no big picture.

"Mother, that's not right." Yue'e couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help trying to persuade Liu Mei.

"How?" Liu Mei stared: "You still want to intercede with that girl Yuechan, don't you, have you forgotten how she poured cold water on your sister, she made us face it, and I will make her life difficult. "

Yue'e shook her head: "I'm not trying to intercede for Yuechan, but I just want to remind my mother that there is room for everything. What is Yuechan's current status? She has registered in front of the emperor, and she is also a prince and princess. My mother is detaining her. The dowry, her face was dull when she married, but the mother's face was radiant. If it spread, everyone in the whole Chang'an city who could stand on the stage would laugh at our family. Well, Yue Ting's life in her husband's house is not easy, even if the daughter talks about kissing, I'm afraid it won't be good."

"what?"

Yueting didn't expect to have these joints, but she was a little surprised.

Liu Mei understood a little bit, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Yue'e said was indeed reasonable, and she couldn't help nodding: "Your words are indeed reasonable, but I am really unwilling to ask me to prepare a dowry for Yuechan."

Yueting also kept nodding: "It's really cheap for Yuechan."

Yue'e smiled and shook her head: "I haven't finished talking yet, you listen carefully, although we won't take away Yuechan's things, we don't have to prepare everything for her, just some things that you can see well, There are also some good ones that are discarded, so as to teach us to save some money, as long as the fake things are made straight, no one can see them on the surface, that is, when Yuechan wants to use them in the future, they will find out that they are fake. It can be counted on us again, she was already married at that time, who knows if someone from the Ninth Prince's Mansion has changed, or her slave has been stolen by her servants, and she will have a hard time saying so, so she has to have Bitter swallowed by myself."

Liu Mei and Yue Ting both laughed when they said this, and felt that Yue'e's idea was really poisonous.

Thinking about it, even after Yuechan got married, she would have to reward the servants of the Nine Princes' Mansion. At that time, if she offered one or two fake items as a reward, she would offend people severely. Said, I am afraid that I hate Yuechan to death.

Or, Yuechan saw that it was a fake, if she swallowed the bitter fruit and yelled out, she was afraid that the Ninth Prince would be careless, and then the relationship between husband and wife would be broken.

The mother and daughter snickered, and Yue Ting took Yue'e's hand: "My sister still has an idea, so let's do it like this."

Yue'e said again: "The shop you bought can also be replaced by our shop. When the time comes, we can raise the price a bit higher, and we can earn a lot of money."

This idea is even better, Liu Mei laughed first, anyway, the Meng family will be left to Meng Haoyu in the future, she won't be able to get a little bit of it, why don't you take advantage of the housekeeper's convenience, first go out and change some things, and then get it. If you have some gold and silver in your hands, nothing is as reliable as holding silver in your own hands.

She thought about it again, Yue'e is a person with aspirations of Qingyun, she is getting more money now, and if Yue'e really becomes a noble person, she will also use silver to manage it, so she won't feel panic when she has no money. .

"That's it." Liu Mei settled the matter with a final word.

Then, Yue'e thought hard for a while, and wrote another dowry list, and Liu Mei smiled happily, this dowry list is really wonderful.

A lot of huanghuali wood, red sandalwood, etc. have been added. Liu Mei has a wood shop in her hand, which sells all kinds of precious wood and helps people make furniture. There are many precious woods in Yuechan's dowry. Caring for her, and taking the opportunity to make a fortune, why not do it.

Seeing that there were so many gold and silver artifacts, Liu Mei laughed even more. Whoever doesn't inspect the gold and silver objects carefully, how can they tell whether they are pure or not? No one can see clearly during the time, so she can make another fortune.

Yue Ting also came over to watch, and was pointed out by Liu Mei one by one, she also learned some inside tricks, and she couldn't help sticking her tongue out, it seems that there are really many secret things in the back house, and she should also do it in the future. Pay attention.

Here Liu Mei's mother and daughter are calculating Yuechan's dowry, while there, Yuechan has returned to the mansion, coincidentally Haoyu has just returned, and the two meet up.

Yuechan bowed to Haoyu, stood aside and laughed, and Haoyu who laughed said with trepidation in his heart: "Brother, guess which one I met today?"

Haoyu flicked her forehead: "Which one can I meet? I can't guess."

Yuechan stretched out her finger a little: "This person's surname is Ji, I remember that the emperor just asked him to marry him."

Hearing this, Haoyu's face immediately turned red, and he wanted to walk away quickly, but he felt a little unwilling, so he asked Yuechan directly: "How did you meet her, what's going on?"

Yuechan lowered her head and smiled straight, knowing that Haoyu wanted to ask Miss Ji about her character and appearance, but she couldn't ask. Gao, he is also knowledgeable about books and etiquette, anyway, I like it at first glance, I think it is the emperor after all, and the marriage he is referring to is really good."

Only then did Haoyu heave a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that she was the daughter of a noble family, so she would inevitably be arrogant. He thought, as long as he was a little better than Huang Yifang, it would be fine, but he didn't expect that people like Yuechan would fall in love with each other, presumably It is also excellent, but how is it compared to Yuechan?
Seeing his sister's celestial appearance, Hao Yu sighed, he didn't want to be beautiful, as long as Ms. Ji had a good character and had the same heart as him.
