Chapter 137

When it comes to marrying a daughter and her daughter's dowry, the fourth wife immediately puts the disgusting sister-in-law behind her, "Sister-in-law, Jin'er's dowry is not complete, I'm so worried." The wife has been slowly saving her dowry.But it's only been more than a month since the marriage was decided and married, so if you want a neat dowry, how can you do it.

The eldest wife smiled, "Sisters and sisters, you are only busy with Jin'er, and Xiao Qi's dowry is handed over to me. Isn't Jin'er's canopy bed already built? Tables, chairs, cabinets, and screens are also ready-made. Expensive and exquisite. There are enough antiques and toys in the house. Clothing materials, there are some in the warehouse. If the younger siblings think it is not fashionable, it is not worth buying it outside. Zhuangzi and shops are better. Ours The Zhuangzi and the shop are all well-behaved. The head of the village and the shopkeeper are all old people from our family. If you believe it, you can just give the land deed to Jin'er. After the calculation of the brothers and sisters, we have all the big heads. Object, it's not worth worrying about. Jin'er is all pointing at you, so don't worry about it."

Jinnian's dowry is actually quite neat.Not to mention anything else, the mahogany carved bed was built by skilled craftsmen since Jinnian was ten years old, and it was only completed last year.This walking bed is tall and straight, with smooth lines, the horizontal eyebrows and the baffle are inlaid with precious red sandalwood, the outside is embossed with landscape figures, and the inside is carved with a picture of a hundred sons. It is half the size of a room, very luxurious and exquisite.

The fourth wife only has Jinnian as her own daughter, and she can't wait to give her everything she can, but she always thinks it's not enough, "It's just a lack of odds and ends. There are no children and grandchildren buckets, wealth buckets, and cornucopias, but there are washbasins." The day before yesterday, I bought a pair of red gold vases decorated with tangled branches and lilies. They look good, and Jin'er likes them."

The eldest lady smiled and said: "There is still more than half a month, I can always find it, don't worry. Needless to say, four seasons clothes, antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and playthings, our storehouse is not enough, and there is nothing bad. Tableware, tea sets , Are the wine vessels neat?"

The eldest wife didn't mean to mention it, but the fourth wife sighed quietly, "Sister-in-law, a father who loves his daughter will never be as good as a mother. If I have anything, I will give it to Jin'er, but Yulang is not. He has a pair of rare chicken bowl cups, which are extremely precious wine vessels. I thought that my in-law, Lord Hou, loves to drink, so it would be good for Jin Er to accompany this pair of chicken bowl cups, but he is not happy."

The eldest wife laughed, "Fourth brother and sister, Yulang also likes to drink." Not only does he like to drink, but he also has a good capacity for alcohol. "Five colors are the best in Cheng kilns, and chicken pots are the best in wine glasses." Yulang, who loves wine, is naturally reluctant to part with expensive wine vessels.

The fourth wife blushed slightly, "Sister-in-law, I know. I am worried that Jin'er's dowry will be short." The eldest wife smiled and said: "A lot, a lot, let's thank the family for marrying a daughter, how can the dowry be less." Talking all the way Then, go back to your room.

After the eldest wife returned to her room, Uncle Xie also came back reeking of alcohol not long after.Uncle Xie was sitting on the spacious chair, smiling all over his face, "Qianyi is not only a good character, but also knowledgeable, and he is considerate to his wife." The eldest wife pursed her lips and smiled, it seems that this son-in-law is very impressive. Satisfied, look at him, he is so happy, he even called him Quqian, which shows that he is very close.

The eldest wife ordered someone to cook a sour, sweet and extremely refreshing hangover soup. Uncle Xie drank two bowls and felt much better.After drinking the hangover soup, Uncle Xie leaned on the big kang by the window and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while the eldest wife wrote the dowry list for fleeting years.

The husband and wife were talking nonchalantly, "You take care of Xiaoqi's dowry?" It’s the same.” “The Marquis of Nanning has even packed the house, which saves trouble for our family.” “Well, saves trouble.”

Uncle Xie sat up, "Tell me, how come the Nanning Marquis Mansion has all the household supplies ready?" It seemed as if it had been prepared long ago.The eldest wife didn't look up, and said casually: "Naishan is not young anymore, she has been waiting to marry a wife for a long time."

Uncle Xie lay back down again, "Zhang Xi has always treated Xiao Qi well." When Xiao Qi was only a little older, Zhang Xi followed her side without complaint, feeding her water and feeding her, he was more careful than his brother .

The eldest wife smiled, "This is called fate." Zhang Xi is the son of the Hou family, and Xiao Qi is the concubine daughter of the Xie family. They were originally unsuitable.But when the Empress Dowager Duanxian opened her mouth like this, it was logical that the two of them were going to get married. Fate.

Uncle Xie drank too much wine today, and talked more than usual, "Madam, if the dowry gift from the Marquis of Nanning is too grand, it would be good." As much dowry from the husband's family, so much dowry from the mother's family.Xiaoqi is a concubine, but she doesn't have any subsidies from her mother.

The eldest wife laughed and joked, "Since I'm here to handle it, if Xiao Qi's dowry is not enough, let's use my private house to post it, okay?" Uncle Xie thought about it seriously, "Sure, let's post it. Ma'am, how much do I have from my private house?" His private house has always been handed over to the eldest wife for safekeeping, and he is the shopkeeper himself.

The old lady was very happy, "The old lady gave me two big boxes of antiques, the round ones, the flat ones, the gold ones and the jade ones, all of which are complete. Yulang's private house took out 1 taels of silver bills and said If it’s not enough, add more. Do the math, is this enough?” The dowry for a duke’s family to marry a girl is only ten thousand taels of silver.Yulang has already given the silver ticket, so he can't buy anything.

Uncle Xie heard that there are 1 taels of silver bills, so there is nothing to worry about, "Very good, very good." The eldest wife looked at him reproachfully, "But I didn't hear you ask Jin'er." It's also a niece, look You are biased.

"Jin'er has younger siblings, so there's no need to worry about it." The room was very warm, Mr. Xie gradually became tired, and his voice became vague, "Xiao Qi's mother can't talk, it depends on the old lady and you." Yulang A daughter-in-law is not as knowledgeable as her own daughter-in-law.Rui Nian felt at ease in front of his aunt, but when Xiao Qi came in front of his aunt, he held his breath, how pitiful he was.

The eldest wife walked lightly to the edge of the kang, and put a fox fur blanket on her husband.Uncle Xie noticed it dimly, thanked him vaguely, and fell into a deep sleep.The eldest wife looked down at her husband's sleeping face for a while, then sat back and continued to arrange the fleeting dowry.

The fourth wife had no other distractions, she was busy preparing the dowry for Jinnian, and was busy going around.Fourth Master Xie advised her, "It's only been over a month since we were engaged to get married. The Huang family won't mind even if some odds and ends are missing. Let's spend more time with Zhuangzi and the shop for Jin'er, and it will make up for it." The Fourth Wife promised, she still had to choose the style of the toilet carefully, and she couldn't make a single mistake.In this way, I have exhausted myself and lost weight.

The fourth wife was so busy, and on the eve of Jinnian's wedding, the dowry was already unsatisfactory.Fourth Master Xie gave Jinnian two additional shops, a silk shop, and a makeup shop. The fourth wife pulled Jinnian and sighed: "Your father loves you so much!" , With these, Jinnian's pocket expenses are full, and he doesn't have to reach out to his husband's family for the rest of his life.

Jinnian's eyes turned red.She could clearly see what Fourth Master Xie and Fourth Wife did for her.Fourth Master Xie had inquired about the affairs of the Marquis of Yichun's mansion for several lifetimes before agreeing to this marriage.The fourth wife is concerned about whether the husband's family has power and status, and whether the daughter's dowry can hold people down.As parents, they really did their best for their daughter.

Relatives and friends all came to add makeup one after another, and sisters-in-law and sisters also added exquisite and precious antiques or gold and jade jewelry.Fleeting Years came with Yaya, and Yaya gave Jinnian a copper ice mirror, which can be used to ice wine in summer and warm wine in winter, which is novel and unique.Fleeing Years sent two beautiful small gold bricks as usual, plus two gold hairpins inlaid with rubies. The yellow gold and bright red gems are obviously treasures.Of course, the small gold brick is the principal, and the golden hairpin is the interest.

Jinnian thanked him politely.Seeing that Yaya didn't bring Ziyi over, she had to ask, "Where's my little niece? Why don't you bring her with you. Ziyi is getting cuter and cuter. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's strange." Yaya smiled and said, "She Ah, I fell asleep after shopping for a long time."

Looking at Yaya and Liunian who are cuddling each other, Jinnian has mixed feelings in his heart.The two of them have been close since childhood, and after becoming sister-in-law, they are even better as if they were alone.Now that Xiao Qi is going to marry into the Nanning Marquis, will she get closer in the future?

"Sister-in-law Liu, I'm a little scared." Jin Qing said in a young voice, "I'm really scared to leave Xie's house and go to the Yichun Marquis Mansion, where I'm not familiar with."

"Don't be afraid." Yaya looked at her with a smile, "My eldest brother and second brother both know Yichun Hou Shizi Huang Ke, and have dealt with him a lot. I heard from them that the son is bold, loyal to friends, and has a cheerful temperament. Easy to get along with."

A trace of confusion flashed across Jinnian's face.If you are righteous to your friends, will you be considerate to your wife?Will a strange man who has never met treat him well?Dad said that his mother Quan's temperament is strict, if his mother made things difficult for him, would he just stand aside, as if he didn't see or hear?

Liu Nian asked a serious question with a stern face, "Sister-in-law, can the elder brother and the second elder brother beat the dead?" Yaya suppressed a smile, "My elder brother is very skilled, there are very few people who are his opponents." You are so sweet.

Liu Nian looked at Jin Nian sternly, "Don't worry, Sixth Sister, if he dares to bully you, let Big Brother Shen beat him up! After Big Brother Shen beats you up, the fifth and sixth brothers will scold him together, until he can't hold his head up, so he doesn't dare to do anything wrong again. "If you dare to bully others, first abuse your body and then your heart.

Yaya also smiled and said, "I'll let the elder brother and the second elder brother have a drink with Huang Ke, and put the words down in advance. If he dares to bully my sister-in-law in the future, let's do it without saying anything." Among the noble children, Huang Ke also Not bad, the real kung fu is not fancy punches.But if you meet the big brother, the second brother and the younger brother, it's not enough to look down on.

Jin Nian blushed and bowed his head in silence.The girl's family left the pavilion, and it was her natal father and brother who supported her.My father and brother are gentlemen, they can reason, but they can't fight.Yaya smiled and comforted her, and Fang and Liunian bid farewell and left together.

Back in the South Garden, Zhang Yi came, leaning on the big kang in the side room, flipping through a good biography.Yaya smiled and pushed Liu Nian over, "Little brother, you must never bully Xiao Qi in the future. If you bully her, she will beat her directly without saying a word."

Zhang Xie threw down the book and got off the kang, "First, I will not bully Xiao Qi. Secondly, if Xiao Qi hits me, I will definitely not be able to fight back." He looked at Liu Nian with a smile, his eyes were gentle.With Xiao Qi's delicate appearance, how can he hit someone, and it doesn't hurt if he hits someone.
