Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 127 Dowry
"Murong Jing's child looks like a monkey, but he is careful. After the two of you get married, you should hurry up and give birth to a doll for the old lady to hold. The old lady has said several times that she wants to hug her great-grandson."

"Wherever it is, you start to teach Ling Yue badly. But I think that with Mrs. Murong's temperament and the mind of the young master, I'm afraid it will take three years to hug the two."

"Ma'am!" Chu Lingyue blushed, she broke free from Zhen Shi's arms and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Jia Shi.

"Don't go, don't go, it's not over yet."

Seeing that she was shy, the wives stopped teasing her and pulled her and Shen Bixiang to gossip.

When all the dowry gifts were finally brought in, the butler finally breathed a sigh of relief, and presented the gift slip in his hands, "Master Hou, madam, this is the dowry gift slip, please have a look at it."

"I'm sorry for the housekeeper, it's already noon, why don't you go back after lunch." Shen Bixiang took the list, smiled, and then asked people to take the porter and the housekeeper down, and settled the five wives properly. She began to talk to Du Mom counted the bride price together.

The appointment was made today, and the time was really rushed, and they rushed to make many things overnight.I thought that Jingchenghou's Mansion would be just as busy as them and gossiping, and would bring some things that had been prepared before, but after counting, Shen Bixiang suddenly became a little dumb.

There are six sets of spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes in each season, each with silk and satin, the styles are novel, and the colors are also Ling Yue's favorite.It wouldn't be such a coincidence, it would be rushed overnight.

There is a set of head and face jewelry that seems to be quite old. Seeing that Shen Bixiang noticed that set, Madam Du saluted and explained the key point, "This set of head and face jewelry was bestowed by the Queen Mother when Zhuge was newly married. The one from the Hou Mansion was actually sent over."

Zhuge is Murong Jing's mother-in-law, and it is the most sincere and most appropriate to give the bride's things from his mother's.

"Hey, what is this!" The two of them were counting and chatting, and suddenly heard someone exclaimed, and when they looked back, they saw Lu Hengtao bringing Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei over.

Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei took off the red cloth on a burden, and then their eyes were dazzled by the things inside.

Under the red cloth is a blood jade coral, its bright red color symbolizes prosperity.The half-person-high coral lies quietly in the box, and the whole body is round. If you look carefully, the streamer on it is like flowing water, which makes people love it.

Such corals, which are as big as a palm, can be sold for a thousand taels of gold in the capital, and those as tall as half a person are even more valuable.

"Greetings to Madam." Seeing Shen Bixiang approaching, Sun Qionghe hurriedly saluted.Today, all the wives are here, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to put it away.One is because of the power of Jingchenghou's mansion, but because everyone from the matchmaker to Quanfu is a doomed wife, and if a certain amount of bad reputation spreads, Lu Mingmei will not even think about marrying a good family.

"Well, you're here." Shen Bixiang responded without pain, and suddenly smiled, "Oh, Ling Yue married so beautifully as a daughter-in-law, which really does not disgrace the lintel of our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion."

"What madam said is true, but this coral is a treasure. I don't know how many treasures there are in it." Sun Qionghe took over the conversation with a smile, and then reached out to pick up the gift list in Shen Bixiang's hand, "Ma'am, are you busy getting pregnant?" , let me give you a helping hand, and help Madam to make an inventory."

Shen Bixiang pushed Sun Qionghe away with a hand, "No need, these things are not exhausting, I can still handle them, besides, isn't Madam Du still here. There are so many treasures, don't miss them One or two things, I won’t be able to tell when the time comes.”

"How can it be?" The smile on Sun Qionghe's face froze for a moment, but Shen Bixiang's worry was true.She came here today with one thought in mind, which was to draw some dowry for Lu Mingmei.

When she first entered Weiyuanhou's mansion, she had made up her mind to be his wife. She thought that when Lu Mingmei was the first daughter, she would have nothing to say, and it would not be too late to prepare the dowry, so she didn't give it to her. Save something.

Who knew that after entering the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, Chu Lingyue was like a bastard, and never asked Lu Hengtao to straighten her up. Therefore, Lu Mingmei's current dowry foundation couldn't be any weaker.

Today, they are hired by the Jingchenghou's mansion, and they come to have a look, find a chance to mention it to Shen Bixiang, maybe they can get some good things to the Liuliyuan.

"I don't know if it's possible, but be careful to sail for thousands of years, what do you say." Shen Bixiang smiled, and raised his hand to cover the red coral.

Sun Qionghe was ashamed, but she didn't want to give up easily, and followed behind Shen Bixiang to watch her count.

White marble Ruyi, pairs of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, Hetian jade bracelets, jadeite earrings, and other jewelry dazzled her.Seeing her picking up an emerald green jade hairpin and gesturing on Lu Mingmei's head, Shen Bixiang was immediately upset.After coughing twice, Shen Bixiang reminded, "Aunt Sun, this is the betrothal gift brought by Jingchenghou's mansion to Ling Yue, not for your Mingmei."

"Ma'am, what are you talking about? Ling Yue and Ming Mei are real sisters. Is it true that my sister can't handle what belongs to my sister?" Seeing that Shen Bixiang had started the conversation, Sun Qionghe didn't hide it, and flicked the veil , pointing to the ceremony bearer in the yard and said, "With so many things, Ling Yue can't possibly take all of them to Jingchenghou's mansion, right? My sister got married so beautifully, and my sister doesn't have a few dowry that I can afford."

With a "snap", Shen Bixiang closed the gift list in his hand, looked at Sun Qionghe's face coldly, and smiled, "Yes, the beauty of my sister's marriage is because my sister was born well. As for my sister, isn't it because of you?" Is this mother in charge, why is she still thinking about my sister's things?"

The inventory has come to an end, and the rest of the things will not be bad, Shen Bixiang sneered, and ordered: "Mother Du, find someone to watch, and carry the clothes and treasures of the four seasons to the Linglong Courtyard. Take care of your skins carefully! Take these jewelry to the dining room and use them later.”

"Yes, the old servant will definitely let people watch carefully." Mama Du took the order and asked people to carry the things to the Linglong Courtyard. After a while, there were two seven-story mahogany burdens left.

Sun Qionghe watched helplessly as the dowry was carried away, his face turned pale with anger but he didn't dare to say anything, and finally turned his finger on Lu Hengtao, "Master, look..."

Lu Hengtao saw everything that happened just now.He was anxious that Lu Mingmei didn't have a decent dowry, but it's a pity that it's different now.All his salary was handed over to the public, and he had no other income in his hands, let alone Sun Qionghe, without the subsidy from the Minister of Rites, her life would be even more difficult.

Just now when he looked at the treasures in the yard, he also moved his mind, but thinking of Jing Chenghou's mansion, he could only suppress his mind.

Seeing Sun Qionghe lead the conversation to him, he just snorted coldly and walked away.

Seeing Lu Hengtao not helping her for the first time, Lu Mingmei was also very aggrieved, she tugged on Lu Hengtao's sleeve and did not let go, "Father, mother's idea is right, my sister married so beautifully, but I don't even have a decent dowry." No, I have ruined my face now, if I get married in the future, it will be indispensable..."

"Your mother is confused, are you confused too? That's your sister's betrothal gift. The things from Jingchenghou's mansion are good, but you have to get them out!"

"My lord, why can't I take it out? Some of these things must be kept at home. Could it be that such a good thing is just left there and thrown away?" Sun Qionghe was also full of displeasure. Is it Chu Lingyue's idea?

"Shut up! I'm warning you, don't think about those things. If you let me go again, I will find out what's wrong with you, and I'll sell you immediately!"

He even said the words of selling, it can be seen that Lu Hengtao was already angry, Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei didn't dare to answer, and watched Lu Hengtao go away with pale faces.

In the dining room, seeing Shen Bixiang come in with jewelry, Jia Shi and Zhen Shi exchanged a look to know that it was counted, "Is my sister satisfied with this dowry? If you are not satisfied, you can tell me, and I will hurry to blackmail that bride." It's a fortune from Jingcheng Hou's mansion. It's hard to marry a daughter-in-law, how can someone be so stingy."

"My sister was joking, how dare you be dissatisfied with such a heavy betrothal gift. I would like to trouble all sisters to come here today. My sister thanked you here first." Shen Bixiang saluted and walked over with a smile.

Seeing that she was handicapped and still saluted, Jia Shi and Zhen Shi hurried over to help her, "My sister is polite, we will be a family from now on, why do you still see others like this."

Helping Shen Bixiang up, Mrs. Jia pulled her to sit down with a smile, Mrs. Zhen picked some beautiful jewelry from one side of the burden to put on for Chu Lingyue and said with a smile: "Look, I really want to marry , This shy and timid little appearance really makes people want to be hurt."

"Sister, don't make fun of Ling Yue. She is thin-skinned. When she gets annoyed later, we can't fail to pay the job. It's getting late, why don't Ling Yue quickly take out the handkerchief she embroidered and let us take it back?" Jia Seeing that it was late, Shi had already thought of leaving.

When the dowry gift was delivered, there would naturally be a gift in return. Shen Bixiang had already prepared other things, only the He Wei scarf had to be embroidered by the bride herself.As soon as Jia Shi reminded her, Chu Lingyue also thought of it, blushed, and told Lan Xi to go back and get it, "Madam, sit down for a while, I embroidered it yesterday and put it in the room, so let the servants get it."

"We're not in a hurry, we're afraid that the Jingchenghou's mansion will be in a hurry." Zhen covered her mouth and smiled, and was also a little curious about the He Wei scarf.

Among the gifts at the man's house, the most sincere one is the He Wei scarf embroidered by the girl herself.A small piece of square scarf contains all kinds of tests for the bride to knit female celebrities. The more exquisite the He Wei scarf, the more it shows that the daughter of this family is excellent.
